Chapter 653 Fight Hanoi

Jia Rong has made it clear that if there is a battle, merchants are allowed to sell materials to other princes. As for the profits, they must pay enough taxes. Otherwise, after being identified, they will be retaliated by the Xiliang Army. This alone makes countless merchants willing to take out part of the profits they earn. The intelligence network of Xiliang Army is all over the world. It is extremely difficult to hide any small action, which is also the reason why many businessmen dare not make small actions. Driven by interests, many businessmen are willing to do business.

Guo Da from Yuzhou, after enough rest and recuperation, although the Cao army lost countless soldiers in the previous battle, still did not shake Guo Da's rule in Yuzhou. For so many years, it is not to mention Cao Cao. Even outsiders look at Guo Da are loyal. Whenever Cao Cao has an order, it is always implemented. There is no disobedience.

The Xiliang Army's big attack on Huai County has naturally attracted the attention of people all over the world. Historically, the Xiliang Army has no defeat in all battles. This majesty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so whenever the Xiliang Army appears in the battle, there is always no suspense.

The pressure on Xia Houdun can be imagined. He is a fierce general on the battlefield, which is more than enough to guard the city, but this depends on who it is. He is not afraid of giving Xia Houdun 20,000 soldiers and horses, even 100,000 soldiers in the Jingzhou army, but if it were 3,000 people of the Xiliang Army, he felt great pressure. First of all, in the face of the pressure brought by the cavalry, the cavalry of the Xiliang Army is a very horrible existence. On the battlefield, a thousand cavalry can defeat tens of thousands of infantry.

The throbbing of the soldiers in the city, the uneasiness of the people, the restlessness of the merchants, and the frequent activities of the family are all bothering the general of the Cao army. This time, Cao Cao also issued a death order to guard Huai County, and even mobilized 500 tigers and leopards for Xia Houdun to use.

Three thousand vanguard troops, like broken bamboo, directly take Huai County. As long as Huai County is captured, the whole Hanoi County will become the governing land of the Xiliang Army, and the Vanguard Army is a great achievement.

The information along the way was constantly passed on to Huang Zhong in the rear through the scouts. Seeing Ma Chao's efficiency and means, Huang Zhong also nodded slightly, "Ma Chao is worthy of being selected by the lord. He really has the ability."

"Xiahou, you dare to go out of the city to fight with your grandfather." Ma Chaolema stood under the city of Huai County, roaring vigorously. His voice echoed in the city for a long time, and all his eyes focused on Xia Hou Dun.

At this time, as long as there is a bloody general, he will kill the battlefield, which is a naked slap in the face.

"The tiger and leopard ride with me to meet the enemy." Xia Houdun said coldly.

"General, no, there are a thousand cavalrymen in the Xiliang army outside the city, all of whom are elite. There are only 20,000 defenders in the city. If Huang Zhong's army arrives, Huai County will be in danger. I hope the general can put the important thing first."

"Well, the Xiliang army and soldiers are under the city. If our army blindly shrinks in the city and dare not fight with it, won't it chill the hearts of the generals and soldiers of the three armies? You don't have to say much. You will come as soon as you go, and you will definitely behead Ma Chao." After saying that, Xiahou walked down the city wall.

The gate of the city was opened, and five hundred tigers and leopards rode out of the fish, and quickly arrayed outside the city. The movements were neat and uniform. Compared with the elite cavalry of the Western Liang Army, it was not inferior, which made Ma Chao frowned.

"Point 500 cavalry and follow me." Ma Chao said coldly that he didn't want to leave a handle to make others think that Xiliang Army was bullying the small.

"Ma Chao, do you dare to fight?" Xiahou Dun crossed the horse and roared loudly.

"Why don't you dare? Look at me, General, cut off your dog's head." Ma Chao jumped up the horse and shot and killed Xia Hou Dun. It was beyond expectations that Xia Hou Dun could go out of the city to fight. Presumably, before the Xiliang Army went out, Cao Cao must have repeatedly told the generals to strictly guard the city and not go out to fight. Unexpectedly, Xia Hou Dun had such courage. To a certain extent, he won Ma Chao's favor. No After studying in the military school, this good impression was well suppressed by Ma Chao. He was brave on the battlefield and could only say that he did not pay attention to the life and death of the soldiers of the three armies. Xia Houdun was a general in the city. If he died, the impact on the city could be imagined.

The two fought against each other for more than ten, regardless of the top and bottom. Ma Chao's martial arts skills are excellent, and his equestrian skills are excellent. On the horse, he occupies an absolute advantage. On the other hand, Xia Houdun is also not inferior. The one-hand knife method makes the furnace fire pure. He can always help at the critical moment. His eyesight is accurate and his strength is so great, which makes Ma Chao slightly shocked.

I had heard that among the generals under Cao Cao Cao's command, there was Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and other Cao Cao's own generals. Unexpectedly, Xiahou Dun's martial arts skills were really good, competing with some senior generals of the Xiliang Army.

But it's just a fight. When it comes to martial arts, Ma Chao is not afraid of Lv Bu, the first fierce general of the Western Liang Army, not to mention Xia Hou Dun.

The long gun shook repeatedly and stabbed Xia Hou Dun's three key points, causing Xia Hou Dun to be in a hurry. Ma Chao's face showed a sneer, and the long gun stabbed again, right in Xia Hou Dun's shoulder blade.

The long gun was sharp, even the armor on Xia Hou Dun's body did not play a role. He was directly pierced by the long gun and roared. Xia Hou Dun was not afraid, but instead of rising up and fought with Ma Chao. One knife was more fierce than another. Obviously, it was a gunshot wound on his body, which stimulated his blood.

Ma Chao was slightly distracted. It is said that whoever received a shot on his shoulder blade would also abandon his weapons and rush back to the battle. Unexpectedly, Xia Hou Dun was an alien. Instead of retreating, he wanted to fight with Ma Chao.

Shaking spirits, the two of them fought together.

The wound kept bleeding, and even Xia Hou Dun gradually felt a little weak. After shaking a knife, he rushed back and roared, "The tiger and leopard rode forward."

At the moment they received the order of the general, the five hundred cavalrymen immediately went out. There were only two breaths before and after, which was enough to see the elite of Cao's army.

Ma Chao sneered. With a wave of a long gun, 500 cavalrymen were killed immediately. These 500 cavalrymen were trained by Ma Chao, which can be said to be the elite in the army. Even compared with Zhao Yun's cavalry, they were not inferior at all. Growing up in the Xiliang Army, Ma Chao's method of training the Xiliang Army can be said to be said to be a master. Enough.

It can be seen from the city that the two cavalry in black costumes collided with each other, stirring up waves. Both sides were elite, and they spared no effort to fight. The tiger and leopard riders were not frustrated by the defeat of Xiahou Dun's previous battlefield generals, but had high combat effectiveness.

For a while, he was comparable to the cavalry of the Xiliang Army.

Ma Chao gave a light look, and his face showed a heavy color. From the body of this cavalry, he saw the figure of his own cavalry. Yes, if there is no cooperation, the horse machete, the elite armor, and the Xiliang army have a fight. I believe that if you give Cao army some more time, you can gradually touch it. To find out the way the Xiliang army fights, when the cavalry of the two sides meet, it will be a hard battle.

"I didn't expect that Cao Cao was so willing to pay the capital, which was the same as the preparation of the Xiliang Army." Ma Chao whispered.

In the predicament, the fierceness of the Xiliang cavalry has been completely stimulated. Three or two cavalrymen can work together to set off a bloody storm on the battlefield. This is also the way for Xiliang cavalry to train soldiers in recent years. Using the rigorous cooperation between the cavalry to kill the enemy on the battlefield, just like an infantry, it does not give the enemy any chance to resist.

The situation was a little reversed, which shocked Xia Houdun. The tiger and leopard horse was the most elite cavalry in the army. In the eyes, few enemies were defeated by the cavalry under Ma Chao. If Jia Rong's own soldiers were here, what power would it be? After the establishment of Liang Guo, he mentioned the strength of Liang Guo in the newspaper. Guo The 3,000 Tigers army commanded by Fen are definitely the most elite cavalry.

The battlefield came to an end, and the generals of both sides did not want to lose too many cavalry in the first small battle, so they would strike back.

"General, what's your injury?" Seeing that Xia Houdun was just simply bandaged without calm treatment, the counselor asked with some concern.

"It doesn't matter. There is no concern about some injuries." Xia Hou Dun waved his hand. Since he was a child, Xia Hou Dun's recovery ability has been strong. He never needs to apply medicine after suffering minor injuries. After a period of time, he is fine, which also creates Xia Hou Dun's image of being fearless on the battlefield.

"General, your health is important. If the lord hands Hanoi into the hands of the general, he should do his best. The general knows that today you go out of the city to fight with the Xiliang Army. If you die in the battlefield, where should the defenders in the city go?" The counselor's way.

"I already know, sir, let's discuss how to defend the city as soon as possible." Xia Houdun's left ear went in and out in his right ear. Obviously, he didn't say anything about the counselor in his heart. Cao Cao used literati heavily. Basically, every army will have counselors to make suggestions for the army and face the enemy on the battlefield.

"The way to defend the city is nothing more than that there are enough arrows and boulders. Once the enemy attacks the city, they can immediately react and kill the defenders under the city and prevent the enemy from climbing the wall." The counselor said slowly, obviously after some careful consideration.

Xia Hou Dun shook his head slightly, "Sir, this is not what you said. You should know that the method of the Xiliang army to attack the city is not comparable to that of other princes. In the past, when the Xiliang army attacked Bingzhou, it completely relied on the Thunderbolt car and the crossbow car to suppress the defenders. Not to mention the wooden boulder, even the Thunderbolt car may be suppressed."

Although Xiahou Dun is superficial, his research on the Xiliang Army is still very thorough, and the communication between him and other generals is also aimed at some offensive, defensive and field battles on the battlefield.

"What the general said is very true, but the Xiliang Army uses so much materials and consumes a lot. It can hang cowhide and other things on the city to cover the crossbows and boulders." The counselor's way.

After making a plan, the two have figured out all the strategies for defending the city.

Ma Chao stationed people and horses outside the city and camped. He just kept sending soldiers to the city to scold. Previously, Xiahou Dun was injured on the battlefield, but the morale of the army was greatly shocked, and the soldiers scolded.
