As soon as he killed the two people, a spear had already stabbed him, Zang Ba hurriedly swung his sword to open it, but he didn't expect that Xia Houdun was angry and used all his strength, and this sword only missed the head of the spear a little.

The spear passed through the armor on the left side of his abdomen, bringing up a strip of cloth, and Zang Ba took a few steps back.

The armor on the outside of the abdomen has broken a big hole, but fortunately there is soft armor inside, otherwise with the strength of this shot, Zang Ba will be seriously injured if he does not die.

Stabilizing his body, Zang Ba looked at Xia Houdun vigilantly, and the five fingers of the hand holding the sword kept opening to alleviate the aftershocks just now.

One blow did not kill the thief in front of him, Xia Houdun was also shocked, you must know that the blow just now, looking at the entire Cao Ying, there may not be twenty people who can stop it, let alone the scene just now.

But now is not the time to surrender, even if this person is powerful and burns down the granary, he must keep his life here.

Xia Houdun waved his spear, and even stabbed at Zang Ba, and with the advantage of the war horse, he firmly gained the upper hand for a while.

The fire has been burning for almost an hour, and the food should have been almost destroyed, and if the war continues, I am afraid that it will be dangerous.

Zang Ba swung his sword and constantly resisted the attacking spear, quickly estimated the gains and losses in his heart, felt that the time for retreat had come, and hurriedly shouted for the soldiers to break through.

But how could Xia Houdun let them retreat, when he heard Zang Ba's order, he immediately called for the soldiers to rob and kill, looking like he would not leave them behind and would not give up.

The two sides fought fiercely in the camp, although Cao Jun tried his best to intercept it, but still let Zang Ba and the others move slowly, you must know that these people are all selected by nearly 80,000 people of the Shenwu Legion, and all of them can be elite.

Five miles outside the Aocang camp, Zhang Yan was walking back and forth at this time, thinking about whether to attack the camp to respond.

Originally, they planned to take advantage of Cao's unpreparedness and set fire to the granary and leave, but now that the shouts shook the sky, Zhang Yanchai also guessed that it should have evolved into a hand-to-hand encounter.

With Zang Ba only a thousand people, even if he kills out, I'm afraid there won't be much left, but if you attack the camp and are bitten by Cao Jun, it will be dangerous, and you will definitely be chased by Cao Jun on the way back to Guandu, and there will be nowhere to hide.

Zhang Yan stopped, waved to the soldiers on the side, and said, "You, go and take a look, is there a fight in the walled gate?" ”

The soldiers received the order and were about to leave when beautiful fireworks suddenly lit up in the sky.

"There is a signal, all the soldiers listen to the order, and quickly go to pick up General Zang." Zhang Yan turned over and galloped forward quickly.

A hundred meters inside the gate of Aocang Village, at this time, the Cao army was heavily surrounded, trapping Zang Ba and other remnants of soldiers and horses in the center.

Killing all the way from the granary, there are no more than 100 people left by Zang Ba's side, and most of them are injured, but those who can survive are some elite people.

It was about ten minutes before the signal was issued, and Zang Ba suddenly yelled. "Soldiers, death and life are at this moment, and they will be killed with this !!"

The heart-rending roar made the more than 100 remaining survivors, covered in blood, and followed Zang Ba to move forward quickly.

Seeing this, Xia Houdun knew that this was the return of Zang Ba and others, as long as they intercepted this time, then they would be a dead end.

In order to leave the culprit of burning down the granary, Xia Houdun also shouted at all costs: "The whole army obeys the order, and must not let them rush out alone, otherwise military law will be involved." ”

Hearing the order, Cao Jun's attention turned to Zang Ba's headquarters, and even the defenders of the Zhaimen raised their weapons to defend against possible impacts.

Just when Cao's army was besieging Zang Ba's department with all his might, Zhang Yan outside the village took advantage of the night to get closer, and suddenly led the army to storm the gate of the village.

Cao Jun was attacked from the inside and outside, and lost his sense of proportion for a while, causing a brief loss of consciousness, revealing a gap for Zang Ba to lead dozens of people to escape.

Responding to Zang Ba, Zhang Yan and the others quickly dispersed around, wanting to turn the whole into pieces to avoid the pursuit of Cao Jun.

Seeing the disaster, Xia Houdun was in a hurry, and led the soldiers and horses to pursue all the way until dawn, and only then did he collect his troops and return to the camp in frustration after completely losing the trace of Zhang Yan's department.

After some counting, the granary was destroyed, Xia Houdun's face was gloomy, and he knew that he could not hide it, so he could only send someone to report to Cao Cao quickly, and led the army to surround and suppress the bandits and robbers, and he had vented his anger.

On the other side, Zhang Yan and others successfully burned the grain in Aocang, gathered their scattered subordinates and began to retreat to Guandu.

Guandu, Li Huiyi began a series of offensive measures since Zhang Yan and others acted, first sent the general Huang Zhong to lead the army to attack Cao Ying on the grounds of revenge for Huang Pei.

Although he did not achieve any actual benefits, he had taken the lead in terms of momentum, and then Li Huiyi recovered a little, personally led the army, set up a position, and wanted to fight a decisive battle with Cao Cao.

However, Cao Cao did not respond to the battle, but ordered the army to be ready for battle, and Li Huiyi attacked and tried it, and when he saw that it was difficult to capture, he collected his troops and returned to the camp.

Next, Li Huiyi sent generals to call the battle every day, wanting to find fighters, but Cao Cao never gave him a chance, so the two sides were at a stalemate, just waiting for an opportunity.

Cao Ying, at this time, a fast horse galloped, rushing to the direction of Cao Cao's tent, and the soldiers along the way saw the bamboo tube tied to the red step behind them, and they all hurried to avoid it.

The rider came to Cao Cao's tent, quickly turned over and dismounted, and galloped into the tent, and after a while, he heard Cao Cao's angry voice sound, followed by the order to convene and deliberate.

A quarter of an hour later, all the personnel had arrived, and Cao Cao's face was extremely cold, as if he was on the verge of an outbreak. "There is news from Aocang that the grain has been destroyed, and there is not one out of ten."

In just a few words, falling on the ears of the people in the tent, it was no less than a spring thunder, and the heart was unstable for a while.

Li Rujing lost his mind for a short time, and immediately said: "Prime Minister, there is only a decisive battle at the moment, otherwise our army will be defeated." ”

Cao Cao didn't answer Li Ru, but looked at Xu Yu with cold eyes, and asked coldly, "Ziyuan, how is the thing you asked you to do?" ”

When Xu Yu heard this, he was anxious, Ma Chao's seventy-seven eighty-eight that had collapsed, and the worst result would be that Ma Chao would leave with less than 10,000 descendants.

But Zhang Xiu was there, Xu You tried his best, and there was no way, but he startled the snake, so that Zhang Xiu and his subordinates were not even alone.

Xu You replied: "Prime Minister, Xiliang Jun has no problem, but that embroidery doesn't seem to be very willing." ”

Seeing that Xu You was stunned for a moment, he gave such an answer, Cao Cao's face was even lowered, and he asked: "This is your achievement, it is too disappointing for the prime minister." ”

Xu You bowed down in panic and said: "Prime Minister is angry, since that Zhang Xiu is unwilling to hand over power, why don't you invite him and send someone to escort him to Xuchang to take up his post." ”

Xu Yu was in a hurry, and hurriedly offered a strategy, wanting to force Zhang Xiu to leave and seize his soldiers and horses.

"Hmph." Cao Cao snorted coldly and asked sarcastically: "Then tell me, Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses, who should lead them in order to shock them?" ”
