Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 304

Outside Bowang City, Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang set up a camp with [-] troops.

Master Shang watched from the city and saw that a camp was being built outside the city. Master Shang directly summoned 5000 men and horses, wanting to give the enemy a blow while the enemy's foothold was not stable.

Master Shang led the army and rushed to the enemy camp outside the city.

Master Shang and his disciples were spotted by Cao Jun's scouts soon after leaving the city, and they rushed back to report: "The defenders in Bowang City have left the city and are coming to our army!"

Xia Houyuan was the commander in chief, and he said to Xu Huang: "Gongming, you continue to preside over the camp, and I will go meet this master and apprentice!"

Xu Huang nodded, "General Miaocai, be more careful!"

Xia Houyuan gathered three thousand cavalry and set off in the direction of Bowang City.Xu Huang looked at the direction Xia Houyuan was leaving, and knew why Xia Houyuan was so busy. For the past two years, he had always wanted to avenge Xiahou Dun and kill Zhang Yi's generals.Because Cao Cao had never used troops before, Xia Houyuan's idea had never had a chance to be realized.Now that Master Shang and his disciples came to the door, how could Xia Houyuan hold back?

In this way, Master Shang and Xia Houyuan met between Bowang City and Cao Ying.The two ordered the soldiers to line up, and Xia Houyuan stepped forward and shouted to Master Shang and his disciples: "The enemy will come out and die!"

Master Shang and his disciples were very surprised. Is this a one-on-one fight?Master Shang and his disciples really have no fear of heads-up!He has always been known for his bravery, leading troops to fight mostly by relying on the rules and regulations, which are the basic regulations in the "Strong Soldiers' Exercise Code".In addition, he didn't have much time to display his abilities personally, because relying on these basic rules alone had already allowed him to defeat many people.

Now that Xia Houyuan wanted to fight him one-on-one, Master Shang and his disciples certainly would not disagree, and he also wanted to kill Cao Cao's general in order to avenge Jiao Zan.

So Master Shang and his disciples also rode out and said to Xia Houyuan, "Who are you?"

"I am Xia Houyuan of the Pei Kingdom! Master and apprentice, how dare you fight to the death with me!" Xia Houyuan directly invited to fight.

"Why don't you dare?" Master and apprentice Shang resolutely challenged.

So the two rushed towards each other, each holding a spear, and rushed towards each other.The two confronted each other directly, but both of them dodged before they were stabbed.After the two horses pedaled wrongly, the horses circled and rushed over again.

The two fought six or seven rounds in a row, but Master Shang and his apprentice were superior in skill, and stabbed Xia Houyuan's lower abdomen with a spear.However, being blocked by Xia Houyuan's armor, although Xia Houyuan felt a sharp pain in his stomach, he was not injured, just a bit of a gasp.However, Xia Houyuan could no longer fight for a short time and returned directly to the main formation.

Master Shang turned his horse's head back, and when he looked at Xia Houyuan again, he found that Xia Houyuan had already fled.Master and apprentice Shang was a little angry, and taunted loudly: "Xia Houyuan, you are nothing more than that!"

Xia Houyuan returned to the formation, clutching his lower abdomen to calm down his breath.At this time, when I heard Master Shang's words, I couldn't help but feel angry. I waited for half a cup of tea before my stomach felt better.Master Shang and his disciples were still chattering over there. The more Xia Houyuan listened to it, the angrier he became in his heart. Immediately, he waved his spear and ordered loudly, "Charge! Kill Master Shang and his disciples!"

The [-] cavalry led by Xia Houyuan immediately charged towards the infantry of Master Shang and his disciples.

Master and apprentice Shang saw that Xia Houyuan couldn't beat him and even asked for a helper, so he couldn't help but sneered: "That's all you have to do."

As Master Shang waved his hand, the soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward to form an army formation.The shield bearer comes first, the spearman next, and the crossbowman last.

Xia Houyuan led the cavalry towards the military formation of Master Shang and his disciples. As a result, before he could rush over, he was attacked by crossbowmen. Thousands of arrows directly shot down the cavalry formation. Nearly a hundred cavalry were shot. Dozens of people fell off their horses.

Facing another wave of arrows, Xia Houyuan rushed to the front of Master Shang's army and directly attacked the army of Master Shang and his disciples.

However, Master Shang and his disciples were not nervous at all. Although the cavalry restrained the infantry, it was because of the speed of the cavalry. If the infantry did not have time to react when attacking, the infantry would be thrown into chaos by the cavalry.Without the army formation, the infantry can only be hunted down when facing the cavalry back and forth.But once the infantry has set up the formation, if the cavalry wants to forcibly attack, the losses will inevitably be very large.

You must know that the cavalry of the Central Plains Dynasty has not always been strong, so the Central Plains Dynasty has many weapons to deal with cavalry, one of which is called the Sanzhang Spear, which is a spear that is three feet long.At this time, three feet is more than six meters. Such a long spear supports the military formation. What will happen if the cavalry rushes up?Definitely going straight to the top!As long as the people in front of the military formation do not dodge, the cavalry is basically seeking death if they want to attack such a military formation.

How could the soldiers under Master Shang and his disciples dodge?Therefore, many of Xia Houyuan's cavalry were directly worn on the army formation.With a spear in front and a crossbow in the back, Xia Houyuan didn't get any bargain at all, on the contrary, it was a disaster!
Seeing this situation, Xia Houyuan immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.Only 300 cavalrymen were withdrawn, and Xia Houyuan had more than 600 soldiers in the attack just now.

Seeing so many casualties, Xia Houyuan couldn't bear it anymore.He finally realized that he had been arrogant before, and after calming down, Xia Houyuan stopped thinking about killing Master Shang and his apprentice, but instead wanted to delay Master and apprentice Shang so that Xu Huang could finish the camp smoothly.

Xia Houyuan began to lead the cavalry to shoot arrows around Master Shang's formation. Master Shang was afraid that Xia Houyuan would charge again, so he never let the soldiers separate from the general formation, and only let the crossbowmen fight back.The two remained in a stalemate until evening, when Xia Houyuan's cavalry ran out of arrows before retreating!

Master and apprentice Shang also cleaned the battlefield, then withdrew their troops and returned to Bowang City.

In this battle, about one thousand soldiers under Master Shang's command were injured or injured, and nearly one hundred died.However, the results of the battle were remarkable, with six or seven hundred enemy soldiers killed and countless wounded.In addition, he also captured [-] war horses, more than [-] wounded horses, more than [-] spears, and more than [-] bows.

This battle can be regarded as a big victory, but Master Shang was not very happy, because he was in a passive state most of the time today.So he wrote a letter to Wancheng to Li Jing and reported the situation to him.He only had 2 people in Bowang, and Xia Houyuan did bring [-]. If he had been in a passive state, it would be impossible to retreat from the enemy, so he could only ask the rear for help.

When Li Jing received the letter from Master Shang and his disciples, Zhang Yi had already arrived in Wancheng. After Li Jing finished reading the letter, he showed it to Zhang Yi.

After Zhang Yi saw it, he said with a smile: "Let Gao Changgong go and have a look! Cao Cao will definitely be very passive without cavalry."
