Chapter 345: Heaven and Dawn
In the wheat field of Dongtun, at the place near the ditch, the fire suddenly broke out.
However, in the distance, Gan Ning commanded the bow and crossbow battalion to ignite rockets and shoot a small amount of wheat fields.
Although the fire was not big, it immediately made Cao Jun's generals nervous.
As the potter said, a spark can start a prairie fire.
For the insignificant human beings, fire is an irresistible natural disaster, so no one dares to take it lightly.
When Xun Yu learned that Tao Jun burned wheat with rockets, he didn't catch his breath and almost fainted.
It was a major event related to the future of Cao Jun, Xun Yu did not dare to slack off in the slightest, he hurriedly sent a team of sturdy soldiers, under the leadership of Xiahou Lian, to the fire point, and carried out the fire operation with irrigation water in the ditch.
During the Han Dynasty, although there was already a fire rescue force, the experience and ability in firefighting were still relatively backward, and there was no water dragon in the field to prevent emergencies, so they could only use manpower to carry wooden barrels to extinguish the fire.
Fortunately, Gan Ning got the instructions of the potter, and in order to prevent Xun Yu from working hard with the potter, he did not amplify the fire.
The leader of the water thieves just shot a small wave of rockets and then retreated, and only a small amount of the rockets he shot burned, so it was relatively easy to save.
But even so, it made Xiahou Lian, Xun Yu and others tired and half dead, and they were shocked enough.
Finally put out the fire, Xun Yu got a report from his scouts, saying that it was the soldiers and horses of the Xuzhou army, and from the other direction, the bird quietly put a small fire, the fire is still not big, just dotted, but if it is not rescued in time and let it indulge, it is easy to brew into a huge field fire if you are not careful, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
Xun Yu now has the urge to draw the villain and paste the name of the potter and Guo Jia, and then stick a needle on the villain.
He took a deep breath, and then ordered Xiahou Lian to quickly lead the fire extinguishing team to the fire point in the scout's mouth to put out the fire.
This kind of small fire will not cause great losses, but it makes Xun Yu tremble, he now really hates the potter and Guo Jia in his heart, but the potter and Guo Jia are very good, and the loss of the wheat field has not yet reached the extent that Xun Yu can drive Cao Jun desperately and rush out to fight with the Xuzhou army.
And Xun Yu still has a worry in his heart now...... If once you rush out to fight with the potters, the wheat field is unguarded, in case the Xuzhou army burns the wheat field somewhere else, it will be an irreparable mistake.
In this case, for Xun Yu, it is more important to have a wheat field.
Therefore, although he knew that the potter and Guo Jia were now slipping his legs, Xun Yu had no choice but to let the potter slip him, and carefully planned while slipping away, and came up with a way to open this deadlock.
The two armies of Cao Tao in the wheat field were shelved under such circumstances.
……
Just when the pottery merchant and Xun Yu slipped away and the other was slipped, Zhao Yun and Chen Deng led a team of troops to go straight to Puyang City to kill.
In Puyang City, Xun Yu was not there, and the city defense was all in charge of Xiahoudun's clansman Xiahouen.
At this moment, Xia Houen was observing the two delicate long-handled swords in his hand in the city defense gatehouse.
These two long-handled swords are the two world-famous swords that Cao Cao has obtained through his close ministers in the court in recent days, one of which is called Yitian Sword and the other is called Qingyu Sword.
Cao Cao originally wanted to choose one of them to carry with him, but when the long sword was sent to Cao Cao, it was just in time for the current season when Cao's army was about to march east to Xuzhou.
Xia Houen's background is not bad, and he has seen a lot of high-quality weapons, but he has never seen such masterpieces as the Heavenly Sword and the Qingyu Sword.
As a martial artist, there are nothing more than three things that he values most in his life, one is a divine soldier, the second is a treasure armor, and the third is a good horse.
To have the opportunity to see these three things and own them is the greatest luck in the world.
And now Xia Houen is very lucky, he has seen two peerless divine weapons, and he can temporarily have them for a while.
It's a pity that the possession is only temporary, and Xia Houen can't help but have some regrets in his heart.
If you can use these two peerless divine weapons to kill a few people before Cao Cao retrieves them from his hands, you can feel the power of these two divine weapons.
The problem is, although he has such thoughts, Xia Houen can't go to the street to kill people casually under Xun Yu's nose...... Although he did have such bad ideas, he still couldn't implement them.
Just when Xia Houen wanted to use these two divine weapons as a test, but a guard suddenly ran into the city and reported to Xia Houen: Outside Puyang City, there is a Xuzhou soldier and horse who are sneaking towards Puyang City.
When Xia Houen heard this situation, not only did he not panic, but he was overjoyed.
This is not an obvious attempt to give someone a head to test the sword for himself!
It's just looking for death!
He stood up abruptly and instructed the Cao army guard, "That's very good! Point soldiers! Out of town! Field Xuzhou Army! Ben was going to kill a few of his enemies to make a statement! ”
Cao Jun's guards said to Xia Houen quite worriedly: "Xun Shizhong had an order before leaving the city, if there is a Xuzhou army to steal the city, he asked the captain to lead the soldiers to guard all the dangers in the city, with the stability of the basic county as the first priority, no need to win, just block the Xuzhou soldiers outside the county ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Xia Houen "hum" heavily and said, "Nonsense!" I am the cousin of Cao Gongtang, Yanzhou soldiers are also the strongest army in the world, and the tiger and leopard cavalry is the elite of the elite, what is the Xuzhou army? It's just a weak division in the southeast, it was just a new army that defeated Yuan Shu at the beginning, and it defeated Lu Bu by trickery and deceit, and it was blown into the sky by the world, which is ridiculous! In terms of cavalry, can the weak cavalry of the southern horse be compared with my tiger and leopard cavalry? Don't talk nonsense, just go and give orders! ”
When the guard saw Xia Houen say this, he didn't dare to slack off, and then Nuo Nuo turned around and organized the soldiers and horses to prepare for the battle.
Xia Houen smiled and touched the Yitian Sword and the Qingyu Sword, and his heart was almost happy.
I was worried that I had no place to test these two divine weapons, but I suddenly got such news, God really helped me!
In fact, Xia Houen's idea is not wrong, the so-called southern ship and northern horse, because there are many rivers in the south, and the transportation of horses is not as convenient as that of boats, so few people domesticate horses, coupled with water and soil reasons, the size of the southern horse is less than that of the northern horse, so the cavalry in the south has always been weaker than in the north.
The war horses used by the heavy cavalry of the pottery merchant Jinling Army were originally purchased from Qingzhou or the grassland, and were purchased and transported by Yu Ear and Nose and Liu Huyu, but the number was not large, and it was not suitable for running and fighting.
So Xia Houen's pride has his capital.
But the problem is that Xia Houen really didn't expect that the cavalry against him this time was not the southeast cavalry, but the white horse righteous servant who galloped across Youzhou and never lost before the confrontation with Ko Yi!
"Knock knock~~!"
Zhao Yun and Chen Deng's soldiers and horses had just arrived in the eastern suburbs of Puyang, and before they were ready to attack the city, they saw that Cao's soldiers and horses were already lined up and ready for battle.
Chen Deng was also dressed in armor, riding a horse and following Zhao Yun's side, and when he saw Cao Jun's posture, he was immediately startled.
He turned his head to Zhao Yun suspiciously: "Cao Jun did not guard the capital, but displayed the soldiers and horses in the four fields, is there a deception in the middle?" ”
Zhao Yun squinted his eyes carefully for a while, and said calmly: "Don't worry, Mr. Yuanlong, the so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, Mr. and take refuge in the back formation, the matter of the fierce battle has Zhao Yun to arrive, and the cloud guarantees with his head, at sunset today, he will definitely let Mr. sit in the high hall of Puyang City Mansion." ”
