Gangxian is not far from Snake Hill. When the fire broke out on the side of the snake hill, someone on Xiahoudun's side found out. So he urgently reported to Xiahoudun.

When Xiahou heard the letter, he hurriedly got up and put on his cloak, ordered all the men and horses, and went to the snake hill. He left Zang Ba to guard the snake hill, and he really didn't believe in Zang Ba and the others. But no matter what, he couldn't watch Zang Ba being trapped and dying in Snake Hill.

Hurry all the way, and look at the border of the snake hill, and there is a faint sound of shouting and killing in the distance. Xiahoudun led the army to march quickly, and suddenly, in the darkness beside the road, a strange sound came.

Xiahoudun heard a small sound in his ears, and he knew that it was not good, and he hurriedly slumped his waist, leaned on the horse's head, dodged several chasing feather arrows, and at the same time, shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, formation!" ”

It's a pity it's still slow. In the sneer, the arrows rained down and rushed straight to Cao Jun. Cao Jun didn't know where the enemy was, and when he was suddenly hit by an arrow, he couldn't help but be in chaos, and there were countless tramples on each other.

When the officers at all levels had just quelled the riot and had not had time to gather the troops, the fire in the forest was flourishing, and Tai Shici led his troops to kill the generals. rushed straight to Cao Ying, and cut Cao Jun into several sections at once, rushing to pieces.

Xiahoudun was furious and hurriedly raised troops to stop Tai Shici. Otherwise, if you slow down any longer, your army will be completely chaotic.

Tai Shi Ci was riding his horse to kill, and suddenly a sword light slanted to the ground, straight to his body. Tai Shi Ci waved his gun to block it, and when there was a loud bang, between the resonance of gold and iron, the two horses were saddled.

Xiahou raised his knife and looked at Tai Shi Ci and said: "Tai Shi Pifu, you only know how to do that insidious plan, can you dare to fight me head-on?" ”

Tai Shi Ci laughed and said: "The two armies clash, each with his own ability. The impermanence of soldiers, how can the word insidious be concealed? Since General Xiahou is not convinced, then so-and-so will come to learn your skills. ”

The two of them didn't say much, they each gathered momentum, and then they came to fight with their troops. Both of them are in the prime of life, Tai Shi Ci is brave and unstoppable, and Xiahou Dun is experienced. You have been going back and forth, fighting for more than ten times, and there is no victory.

Xiahoudun secretly thought, more than ten wins can not be too Shi Ci, and if he fights again, he is afraid that his strength will not be enough.

In this era, there are very few super generals who can really fight dozens or even more than lilies. Although he sat on a horse and used horsepower, he still consumed a lot of physical strength to wield his blade. Therefore, on the official history, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and others broke the formation, and the speed was very fast, and it was completed in the blink of an eye. This highlights a quick word.

As soon as he thought of this, Xiahoudun immediately had a heart. So after waving a few moves and forcing Tai Shici back, he jumped out of the battle circle and led his troops to leave.

Tai Shici didn't dare to chase after him at night, but stopped Cao Jun, who didn't have time to escape, killed all the stubborn, and the rest surrendered immediately. Tai Shi Ci seized the golden drum and baggage, escorted the prisoners, and after cleaning up the battlefield, he went all the way to Snake Hill.

Wei Yan fought with Yin Li, Sun Guan and others, and he couldn't resist it. Yin Li and the others were overjoyed, feeling that Zang Ba had already left, and the time was almost over, and they were about to force Wei Yan back and lead the army away.

Suddenly, there was a thunderous roar of horses' hooves in front of him, and in the dim firelight, I saw a soap-robed general, coming on horseback. The strong flag guards in the back held the banner high. It's not Zhang Fei, it's anyone.

Yin Li and the others saw Zhang Feilai, and their hearts were broken. His hand slowed down.

Zhang Fei rushed over, his voice was like thunder: "Where is the thief!" The snake spear in his hand was sent forward like lightning, stabbing Yin Li under the horse.

Sun Guan beat the horse and wanted to leave, but was caught up by Wei Yan, who was panting, and stabbed his head and split it into two sections. When the Lord is dead, the remnant will be scattered.

Wei Yan and Zhang Fei chased after him. After a while, he saw a kneeling on the ground.

Surrender and clean up the battlefield.

It took several days of busy work in Snake Hill to finish it.

Zang Ba ran to Zhang County, and received the news on the second day that the generals of Mount Tai under his command, except for Wu Dun who was with him, were buried outside Snake Hill City.

When Zang Ba heard the letter, he couldn't help crying. When the world was in turmoil and the yellow scarves were raging, they each led troops and gathered together, just to save their lives in this troubled world. Who would have thought that more than ten years of friendship would be buried once, and all the brothers and sisters would be wiped out. Since then, there has been a separation between heaven and man.

When Cao Ren heard the letter, he saw Zang Ba's sad voice, and he also stopped and sighed.

It is the kind of things that hurt them, and people are the same.

On the second day, Xiahoudun of Gang County also received news that Zang Babu would be killed in battle, and he himself was defeated in Zhang County. I couldn't help but be silent.

Xiahoudun sent a letter to Cao Ren, saying: "Now the snake hill has been lost, and Dongping has been besieged. It is better to abandon Dongping and surrender to Rencheng. How is it? ”

Judging from the map, Dongping has been surrounded by the northern part of Dongjun, Jibei and Lu, and the entire strategic environment has been extremely unfavorable.

Ma Chao led the army to attack the hinterland of Yanzhou, and by this time, Xiahoudun had no hope for Yanzhou. He felt that in the current situation, the army should not be dispersed anymore. Otherwise, what awaits them will be the end of being defeated by each other.

As soon as Snake Hill is lost, there will be only one Gang County in Jibei in their hands. Xiahoudun thought about it, and he didn't want to stay in Gangxian anymore. It's so unsafe here. He felt that after Snake Hill had fallen into the hands of the enemy, it was impossible for him to hold Gangxian. And given that they had few soldiers and too much territory to defend, this gave the Han army countless opportunities. That's why he proposed to abandon Dongping and stick to Rencheng.

In this way, even if the Han army won Dongping. But if you want to enter again, it will be more difficult. Because they have fewer options.

After careful preparation, it may not be impossible to keep the four counties of Rencheng, Shanyang, Jiyin, and Chenliu.

Cao Ren received Xiahou Dun's letter, handed it to Zang Ba, and said, "Xuan Gao, in your opinion, how about Yuan Rang's words?" ”

Zang Ba read Xiahoudun's letter, and said in his heart, I abandoned Snake Hill early, why should I be like this? However, he knew that this was not the time to vomit, so he thought about it and said, "Yuan Rang's words are very true, but Dongping can't easily abandon it." It doesn't hurt for Ma Chao to enter Jiyin, but it can make the counties and towns close their doors. Don't let a general lead troops to garrison Juye and Chengshi, so, but He Daze has nothing to do around. Dongping can first gather his troops and go all out to defend the city. In this way, the Han army is not afraid to come. ”

Cao Ren thought about it and felt that what Zang Ba said was very reasonable. There are so many cities in Dongping, how can you shout that you don't want it. Even if you don't want to, you can't easily fund the enemy.

Therefore, from the theory of Zang Ba, he collected all available manpower and materials such as troops and food in various cities in Dongping. Then make every effort to defend the four cities of Zhangxian, Wuyan, Dongpinglu, and Shouzhang.

He sent a letter to Xiahoudun again, asking him to abandon Gang County and retreat to Ningyang. Gangxian is too close to Snake Hill and Wenyang. Xiahou was a major general, which was not conducive to war.

After getting Cao Ren's letter, Xiahoudun chose a night, took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Han army, ordered all the troops, collected the supplies, and then sealed the ones that could not be taken away in the treasury and set a fire. And he went out of the city.
