"Having said that, I still can't give up the opportunity to fight against General Huang."
Huang Zhong heard the noise in the distance and looked up excitedly. However, the scene in front of him made him extremely disappointed and angry.
Xia Houyuan's voice penetrated the smoke and dust, and accompanied by the mountain wind, every word was transmitted to Huang Zhong's ears.
"Boy...you are the only one to fight..."
"You know everything?"
Huang Zhong's beard was flying in the wind, and his eyes were red with blood. He didn't look like an old man in his sixties.
Especially the evil spirit all over his body——
The deep roar was filled with Huang Zhong's anger.
"Old General Huang, what are you talking about? Isn't this boy just accepting your challenge and fighting to the death with you? Do you still have any dissatisfaction?"
Xia Houyuan was pretending to be stupid, but it was this tone that best showed his sarcasm.
Yes - both he and Jiang Wan have seen through Zhuge Liang's thoughts.
Want to study our army’s war horses?
Then we won't leave you a single one.
With this thought in mind, Xia Houyuan went to war - not because of guilt in his heart, but because of an inexplicable anger.
From the first day he met Huang Zhong, he had a strong sense of fate.
"No matter whether this battle is successful or not... we must fight against this person and decide the winner."
There was such a voice in his heart telling Xia Houyuan.
Therefore, at this point in time, this point when he should not have gone to war, Xia Houyuan chose to put aside all the burdens and fight Huang Zhong to determine the outcome.
"Dissatisfied? Well...if you say so...I am no longer dissatisfied."
"because…"
Huang Zhong's eyes became extremely terrifying. Standing upright in the wind, he divided the battlefield into two pieces.
Both Cao Jun and Liu Bei Jun seemed to have reached an agreement, and no one came to disturb their duel.
"Soon, I will be able to behead you with my own hands. If this is the case, the military advisor will not have many complaints."
That's natural. If Huang Zhong can kill Xia Houyuan here with his own hands, Zhuge Liang can jump out of the grave even if he is dead.
Because in this case, Dingjun Mountain will be captured.
"Boy, I really don't know if you are stupid or smart. If you really have a brain, you shouldn't come out to challenge me."
"Haha - I don't have to worry about it anymore, General Huang -"
Xia Houyuan sat high on the war horse. Standing in front of the gate, he seemed to be integrated with the heaven and earth.
Slowly, with just a moment's reaction, Xia Houyuan's hand was like a phantom, and he touched the strong bow behind his back in the blink of an eye.
"You should still worry about your life!"
The last sound was Xia Houyuan's roar.
Immediately afterwards, the war horses from both sides neighed and turned into lightning and charged towards each other.
One high, one low, one up and one down, their movements were almost synchronized——
No one saw clearly how they took out the arrow from their backs, and no one saw clearly how they attached the arrow to the long bow.
Along with the crisp sound of playing, the bow strings exploded and the arrows were fired.
The two powerful arrows passed through countless swords, guns, swords and halberds in this short distance of several hundred feet, and also penetrated countless layers of wind and breath.
clang--
The two hard iron arrow heads attacked each other's hard body mercilessly, and at the same moment they made a deafening sound, and both turned into scrap metal and powder.
But - this is not over yet.
The horses under Xia Houyuan and Huang Zhong did not slow down.
The speed at which the two drew their bows and arrows was even more dazzling.
Ding-ding sounds were heard continuously in such a short distance, and every arrow fired by the two men was perfectly decoded by the other party——
No one could clearly see this peak showdown, but if anyone asked about this battle that took place in the deep mountains, there would definitely be such a legend:
This is an epic collision between two people with the highest archery skills in the world.
Until Xia Houyuan drew his sword, Huang Zhong also drew his sword.
The distance between the two people narrowed in an instant, and then quickly widened, and the outcome gradually became unbalanced.
In the end, no one knows the outcome of this duel.
Because neither of them died in the battle in the end.
Cao Jun said that in the end, General Xia Houyuan removed his armor with a sword, allowing Huang Zhong to flee.
Liu Beijun, on the other hand, did not show any weakness, and there were rumors that Huang Zhong cut off Xia Houyuan's long bow with one sword and so on.
It seems pointless to pursue this result.
But there is no doubt that, apart from this duel, Xia Houyuan implemented the strategy extremely perfectly.
As individuals, although they did not decide the outcome, as the generals in the confrontation between the two armies, their outcome was clear.
After paying the price of nearly a thousand men, Huang Zhong and others finally retreated with full of anger.
Zhuge Liang glanced at Dingjun Mountain and the impregnable city with complicated eyes, feeling extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
But... time waits for no one, he must leave here as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it is truly a loss of both.
Liu Bei's army retreated.
Perhaps the most intolerable thing for Zhuge Liang was at this time, Xia Houyuan rushed down from the mountain with his lightning-fast cavalry.
After a gust of wind and lingering clouds, Liu Bei's retreating rear army suffered more than 800 casualties, and disappeared again after patting their butts.
Zhuge Liang, who had escaped from the vicinity of Dingjun Mountain first, almost fainted again when he received the news.
The other party had completely understood his thoughts.
He also knew that there was definitely something fishy about the opponent's cavalry, but he just couldn't get any useful information.
I can only feel frustrated secretly, and then leave in despair.
When the last of Liu Bei's troops disappeared at the corner of the mountain road, unusually loud cheers finally erupted from Dingjun Mountain.
——
"Hmm... Really? It's really hard work for General Miaocai... Now that Liu Bei has given up on Dingjun Mountain, there are only two reasons that may be the reason."
"First, the Wei Yan matter attracted Zhuge Liang's attention. Zhuge Liang must deal with the matter as soon as possible... However, it seems that time is too late - second, of course, General Xing has completed his mission..."
Jiang Wan said to Cao Cao and Xun You with such confidence.
At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly remembered Xing Daorong, whom he had let go before.
"Oh? Xing Daorong?"
"I didn't expect that he might look a little cowardly, but he's actually quite capable, right?"
Cao Cao rubbed his beard, but he didn't expect Xing Daorong to actually do what they asked. Originally, he didn't intend to have any hope of repayment.
Xun You shrugged nonchalantly:
"After all, he claims to be General Lingling... If he can return safely, he will be a hero in this battle."
Jiang Wan nodded, probably agreeing with this statement.
Xing Daorong is the hero...
Maybe even Xing Daorong didn't think of it himself?
