"Ugh." Xia Houyuan sighed and replied: "In the prime minister's words, there is already a intention to retreat, but there is hope, but in this situation, what else can you do besides retreat?" ”

Indeed, if you insist on going your own way and coercing the people to defend it, even if you barely defend it, it will become an empty city, so what's the point.

Seeing that Xia Houyuan had no fighting spirit, Cheng Yu knew that the retreat had become a fact, but let Gao Shun take advantage of Huai County, Cheng Yu was unwilling.

After thinking quickly for a while, Cheng Yu opened his mouth and said: "General, even if you want to retreat, you must take away everything that can be taken away and burn everything that cannot be taken away, creating difficulties for Gao Shun and making it impossible for him to advance quickly." ”

It is easy to occupy a city, but it is difficult to restore the damaged people's livelihood.

But if he wreaks havoc and commits evil deeds, unless Cao Cao never thinks about attacking again.

Xia Houyuan thought for a while and said: "If you act like this, the people's will will be lost, and then you will attack the opposite, what can you do?" ”

Looking at the territory occupied by Li Huiyi, nine times out of ten, he has never lost it again, and if he wants to come back again, I am afraid that there is no hope for the rest of his life, which Cheng Yu has vaguely guessed.

What Cheng Yu wants to do now is to support Cao Cao as much as possible and achieve the division of the north and the south, and he has asked for a slow plan, after all, Cao Cao still has a trump card in his hand, that is, he has the Son of Heaven and represents the orthodoxy of the Han family.

Cheng Yu said slowly: "The general is too worried, if he wants to come back in a short time, I'm afraid it's impossible, and these people will have long forgotten about it in the future." ”

Xia Houyuan also had conjectures, but there was still a glimmer of hope, and when he heard Cheng Yu's words, he said with a little worry: "Even so, if this matter spreads, then the rest of the people under his rule will also panic, and it will be difficult to cater to Li Jun's internal and external cooperation." ”

Cheng Yu frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, then it is not up to our army to come forward, and let those family bullies in the city do it for you." ”

With the help of this method, Xia Houyuan nodded and said: "Okay, avoid long nights and dreams, how about acting tonight?" ”

"Okay, Yu Zheng has this intention." The two reached an agreement and got up to prepare, Cheng Yu was in charge of creating chaos, Xia Houyuan was in charge of the army, the division of labor was clear, and the two of them acted quickly.

Just after the hour, Huaicheng, which had been quiet, suddenly heard a noisy sound, accompanied by the firelight, and it intensified.

On the streets, people from the family can be seen everywhere commanding their subordinates, arrogantly snatching the people's property and setting fire everywhere, as long as the people resist the slightest, it is a punch and kick until there is no movement.

The security in the city is close to getting out of control, and with such a big movement, it is naturally impossible to hide Gao Shun and the others outside.

Gao Shun's reaction was also extremely fast, and when he learned of this sudden situation, he had already guessed in his heart that Cao Jun might want to escape, so he immediately asked people to invite Tian Feng.

As soon as Tian Feng arrived, Gao Shun immediately expressed his thoughts and advocated that the army should besiege the city and block the retreat of Cao's army.

Huaicheng, Hanoi is at your fingertips, these Cao troops have vitality, Gao Shun naturally doesn't want to let them go.

However, Tian Feng reported a different idea, Cao Jun caused such a big movement, and he didn't hide the idea of breaking through at all, so he must have the confidence to rush out, although he doesn't know where they got the confidence, but there is nothing wrong with being cautious.

Even if Gao Shun did his best to encircle and leave them behind, then he would definitely suffer heavy losses, and it would also have an impact on the entire next operation.

Therefore, Tian Feng proposed to set up an ambush on the periphery to cause casualties to Cao's army as much as possible and ensure that his own strength was not damaged.

The two have been partners for a long time, and Tian Feng has always planned and Gao Shun executed, so Tian Feng proposed, Gao Shun thought about it a little, and then made arrangements as he wished.

At the time, the dark clouds covered the sun, the sky was beautiful, and under the firelight of Huaicheng, there were faintly tens of thousands of people, who were rapidly approaching the east gate.

Quietly and silently opened the city gate, Cao Jun, under the leadership of Xia Houyuan, walked out of the city in an orderly manner, followed by more than 10,000 people from the family, carrying a cart of accompanying things.

Because there is no moonlight and no torches, this change in the city is considered secret, but Gao Shun and the others have already expected it.

After walking about five miles out of the city, there was a sudden loud bang, followed by a neat and numbing slogan.

"Dada...... Crash! …… The momentum of the charge is gone and there is no return, and the will to fall into battle is dead and alive......"

Being so familiar with the slogan, Xia Houyuan was shocked, and when he looked closely, he saw a large number of well-equipped trap camps, which were rushing quickly.

Trapped in the camp, Xia Houyuan suffered a lot of losses in his hands, no matter what the situation was, it ended in defeat, the only difference is that the result is good or bad.

Now that this way is blocked by this killing god, how can Xia Houyuan not panic in his heart, but he has no choice but to fight to the death.

Xia Houyuan clenched the reins of the horse with one hand, shook the war horse hard, and galloped forward with a gun in one hand. "The road ahead is blocked, and those who want to unite with their families will fight desperately with Ben!"

Xia Houyuan is not discredited with the reputation of a good general, and in such a short period of time, he thought of the words that could inspire the soldiers.

Hearing about his family, these Cao Jun put away the fear in their hearts, showed determination on their faces, and ran behind Xia Houyuan, ready to fight desperately.

But the people of the family who followed behind him were not so determined, and when they saw that the situation was not right, they immediately fled around to protect their property, and begged to avoid this chaotic battle.

The black light is blind, the order is chaotic, then the trampling will happen, and there will be screams again and again, and some subordinates who have been oppressed enough will also take advantage of the chaos to seize their property and flee, and they will be chaotic for a while.

Cao Jun is now at war with the trapped camp, and he has no time to take care of it, so he can only let things evolve and escalate.

The front was fighting, the back was chaotic, the Cao army's retreat was quite blocked, and some Cao Jun who were hesitant had no choice but to put away their luck and rush forward to kill.

The trapping camp has a unique means of warfare, some of them block, some of them break through, scattered all over the Cao army, quickly tearing apart the Cao army's formation, allowing them to fight separately, unable to achieve the purpose of gathering and impacting.

Xia Houyuan kept wielding his gun, but if he could force one person back or kill one person, another person would make up for it, and he couldn't move forward at all.

Cheng Yu, who was commanding at this time, saw that the situation was getting worse and worse, and knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he quickly drew his sword and leaned towards Xia Houyuan.

"General Xia Hou has broken through the defense line of the trapped camp, and all the generals will rush out with the general!"

Cheng Yu is worthy of being a ruthless person, in this dark night, Cao Jun couldn't see the situation clearly at all, heard the shouting, thought it was true, and was overjoyed for a while, desperate to lean towards Xia Houyuan.

Under Cao Jun's desperate efforts, the intention of being divided into camps and encircled and annihilated was destroyed in an instant, but Cao Jun also paid a heavy price for this.

The soldiers and horses were all close together, Xia Houyuan's confidence increased greatly for a while, and his whole body seemed to be full of strength, and with Cheng Yu who came, he forcibly tore a hole with a sword and a gun.
