"This guy Xu Chu..." Xiahou Dun looked at Xu Chu with annoyance in his heart and thought to himself, "This is my first time fighting him. I didn't expect this guy to be so strong. He can't do it without weapons!"
When he thought of this, Xiahou Dun shouted loudly to Xu Chu: "I want to fight you right away!"
"Get back to Jiameng Pass immediately!"
An angry shout came from the darkness, and the sound was like rolling thunder, reaching the ears of Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu and others. Everyone immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to say another word.
Cao Cao walked out of the darkness and the moment he stepped into the camp, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol. Xiahou Dun was naked, but Xu Chu was wet. There were broken wine jars and spilled wine on the ground.
. Seeing this scene, Cao Cao understood everything, turned around immediately, and said calmly: "Zhongkang, sent someone to send Xiahou Yuanrang to Jiameng Pass overnight. He was not allowed to stay for a moment, and he was demoted to Army Sima to set an example.
"
Xu Chu nodded and said: "No!"
Xiahou Dun felt extremely unbalanced in his heart. Half an hour ago, he was still a senior Sima, and half an hour later, he became a military Sima of a small school. Although there was only one word difference, the difference in official position was thousands of miles away. He
Seeing Cao Cao's leaving figure, I don't know why, but I can't fill my heart with anger.
Xu Chu stood up and bowed to Xiahou Dun respectfully: "Please, General!"
Although Xiahou Dun was demoted, he was still an upright founding hero and was awarded a title. He rolled his eyes at Xu Chu and said angrily: "You don't need to send me away, I will leave on my own!"
With that said, Xiahou Dun put on his clothes, then took two soldiers with him on horseback, picked up his own weapons, and quickly left the camp.
After Xiahou Dun left, Xu Chu returned to Cao Cao and said, "Your Majesty, General Xiahou has left."
"Well, very good, you can go and join me on the expedition tomorrow."
"Promise!" Xu Chu came out of the tent and personally guarded the outside of the tent.
The Wei army had all come from afar. At this time, they were all exhausted and exhausted. Except for the patrol team, all the other soldiers had rested.
On the branches above the moon, a dark figure took advantage of the situation and left the Wei army's camp, heading towards the sky and the mountains as fast as possible.
On Tiandang Mountain, Zhao Yun, Wu Lideng, Dian Wu and others were all on guard, waiting for the scouts who would be deployed during Cao Wei's march today.
At the second watch, the soldiers guarding the mountain brought back the dusty scouts and sent them to Zhao Yun's tent.
"Meet the general!" As soon as the scout entered the tent, he immediately knelt down and bowed.
"Excuse me, how is the situation of the Wei army?" Zhao Yun asked.
The scout replied: "Xiahou Dun, the chief commander of the Wei army, was demoted to the rank of army commander because he offended Cao Cao and was sent back to Jiameng Pass. In addition, the Wei army has all given orders to start the expedition at midnight tomorrow. Only one person is left in the camp.
Thousands of people, the whole army went to attack Dingjun Mountain."
"Dingjun Mountain?" Zhao Yun became suspicious, frowned, and asked, "Cao Cao is not an ordinary person. How can he go and attack Dingjun Mountain if he leaves Tiandang Mountain alone?"
"This subordinate doesn't know either. I only know that Pang Tong and Suo Xu tried their best to persuade him, but Cao Cao didn't listen. Probably because he was so angry that he was eager to attack Hanzhong."
"I understand. You have worked hard all the way. Now that you have come out of the Wei army camp, don't go back. Now go down and rest." Zhao Yun said.
"promise!"
"General, what is Cao Cao's plan? He actually sent out his entire army to attack Dingjun Mountain. Aren't you afraid that we will attack him from behind?" Uliden asked.
Zhao Yun sneered and said: "Even you can see Cao Cao's flaws. Cao Cao, who has always been resourceful, will not fail to understand his situation. I think there must be fraud in this."
"Then what should we do? If all the army goes to attack Dingjun Mountain, can Zhang Ren stand it?" Uliden asked.
"Zhang Ren knows the terrain here very well. I believe he has laid many traps on the way into the mountain. Dingjun Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is only one way into the mountain. As long as Zhang Ren does not go down the mountain, even though Cao Cao has tens of thousands
There is nothing we can do about him. We divide our troops to capture Jiameng Pass and plunder the Wei army's food routes. The Wei army will not be able to stay here long without food." Zhao Yun said after careful analysis.
Wu Liden said: "Well, the general is willing to plunder food and grass."
"I'm willing to go with you!" Dianwu said, clasping his fists as well.
Zhao Yun said: "Dianwu will go with me, General Wuliden. You stay and guard the mountain road. No matter what, don't go down the mountain easily."
"promise!"
After the discussion was settled, Zhao Yun took Dianwu and two thousand horse infantry down the mountain, leaving three thousand soldiers behind and handed them over to Uli Deng, who asked Uli Deng to guard Mount Tiandang.
Zhao Yun and Dianwu went down the mountain all night, heading all the way towards Jiameng Pass. The road was difficult to walk at night, the mountain road was dangerous, and it was extremely difficult for the horses to pass, so they had to dismount and walk.
After walking less than twenty miles, the group entered a steep mountain road surrounded by dangers, with only room for three horses to pass side by side. On one side was an abyss and on the other side was a steep mountain wall. Two thousand people and horses
I had to form a long snake formation and walk in a meandering way.
Zhao Yun walked this kind of Shu road for the first time. Only then did he realize why the Shu road was so difficult. No wonder Cao Cao's army has been unable to come back for reinforcements. Even a hundred thousand troops would probably have to walk on this mountain road for a day or two. In the weak light of the torch
Under the reflection, Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh, even if Cao Cao could be driven back, if he wanted to attack Shu in the future, it would be extremely difficult to march on such mountain roads.
In the dark night, on the winding and rugged mountain road, most of the two thousand soldiers of the Chinese Army lit torches for fear of accidentally falling off the cliff. Looking from a distance, they looked like a fire dragon circling and lying in the mountain.
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, a loud noise came down from the steep mountain wall. Zhao Yun and others were extremely nervous. The huge sound was like rolling stones falling on the mountain wall. Everyone stopped temporarily and listened carefully.
"Bang!"
A big stone rolled down from the mountain wall. Stone chips flew everywhere, and small stones kept sliding down the cliff. It directly hit three soldiers of the Chinese Army. Both men and horses were knocked off the cliff by the rolling stone and fell into the
In the midst of an abyss.
After the rolling stones passed, there was no sound. Except for the sound of the wind, there was nothing. It was extremely quiet.
Zhao Yun originally thought he was ambushed, but now it seems that the boulder on the mountain probably fell due to a landslide.
"Keep moving forward! It's just a landslide..." Zhao Yun shouted loudly at the front army.
Everyone's nervous hearts relaxed, and at the same time they mourned for the comrades who had just fallen off the cliff.
So, the army continued to move forward. After walking less than ten steps, many rumbling sounds suddenly came from the steep mountain wall. Rolling stones kept falling. It was impossible to tell how many there were in the darkness. But everyone's hearts were at this moment.
They all fully understood that there was an ambush on the mountain, and it was definitely not as simple as an accidental landslide.
Zhao Yun mounted his horse, turned the horse's head quickly, and shouted loudly: "There is an ambush, retreat! The whole army retreats, it's a trap!"
However, the distance between the two thousand people was too long, and the rolling stones on the mountain continued to fall, blocking Zhao Yun's shouts. Every soldier of the Chinese Army held their breath and pressed against the mountain wall. Only in this way could they be lucky.
Injured by a rolling stone.
"Wow..."
For a time, rolling stones continued to fall. Even if many soldiers were clinging to the mountain wall, they were hit by some rolling stones and rolled directly to the bottom of the cliff. On the three-mile-long mountain road, rolling stones fell from both sides. Two thousand soldiers of the Chinese Army were killed and injured.
heavy.
Zhao Yun used what he had learned throughout his life. The shooting skills of the Heavy Rain Soul-Destroying Gun were extremely vicious. Every time a huge boulder was thrown at him, the angry waves could often penetrate the rock, and one shot could smash the boulder into pieces. At first, he could barely dodge and resist.
, but later on, there were more and more rolling stones falling faster and faster, and Zhao Yun was already struggling.
Suddenly, all the rolling stones stopped, and there were countless sounds of strings on the mountain wall, and countless arrows were shot towards them. Even the soldiers who were leaning on the mountain wall and were lucky enough to escape the attack of the big rocks were not hit by arrows on their heads.
, that is, hit by an arrow.
At the same time, ambushes appeared on the mountain roads in front and behind, blocking the Chinese soldiers on the narrow and dangerous road in the middle.
Wuliden was holding down the formation at the rear. When he saw the Wei soldiers suddenly coming to kill him, he dismounted and fought with them. After killing three soldiers, he saw Xu Chu looking at him eagerly in the air with his sword.
He was off guard and was killed by Xu Chu with a single blow. His head fell to the ground and rolled down the cliff.
Therefore, Xu Chu took the lead to clear the way, with Gu Yue's sword in hand, and he harvested the Chinese soldiers who were still alive. The Chinese soldiers were no match for Xu Chu, and they were chopped to the ground one by one.
Wei soldiers also appeared in the front army at the same time. Zhao Yun was in front and killed several people suddenly. Seeing Zhao Yun's bravery, the Wei soldiers did not dare to approach for the time being. They rushed arrows to shoot at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was blocked by his spear, but after all, his vision was blocked at night and he could not distinguish.
Qing, but heard the lion Cong sitting down let out a long and mournful hiss, and suddenly fell down the cliff.
Zhao Yun had no time to jump off his horse, and he fell down the cliff with the lion Cong. The heavy rain soul-killing gun also fell in the mountain road, and he fell into the bottomless abyss...
When the officers and soldiers of the Wei army saw Zhao Yun falling down the cliff, they all shouted as if they had been injected with chicken blood: "General Zhao Yun is dead... Zhao Yun is dead... Zhao Zilong is dead..."
As soon as this voice was shouted, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army were immediately filled with righteous indignation. The remaining more than 200 people all shared the same hatred and attacked the Wei Army. However, in the end, they were killed one after another because they were outnumbered.
The sky was dimming and the battle had been over for a long time. Cao Cao came here with Pang Tong and Suo Xu. Seeing Xu Chu coming over with a happy face, he asked: "How is the battle going?"
"The two thousand soldiers of the Chinese army were completely wiped out. General Zhao Yun fell into the abyss. General Wu Liden of Pingdong was killed by me. Unfortunately, his head rolled down the cliff." Xu Chu said happily.
When Cao Cao heard that Zhao Yun fell off the cliff, he showed a trace of regret on his face, and said lightly: "What a pity. If a tiger general is used by me, why is he here? Send someone to search below. I want to know for sure.
Is Zhao Yun dead or not?"
"promise!"
"Withdraw the troops, conquer Tiandang Mountain first, and then Dingjun Mountain. We must capture these two mountains within two hours today!" Cao Cao turned his horse's head and left directly.
