Thank you for the reward from the book friend 151221214745188 Gongzi!

"Is it true that what you saw before was a large army?" Huo Jun frowned and asked.

The scout replied affirmatively, "That's right! A big army indeed! There are at least 50,000 people! ”

"You read that right?" Huo Jun asked.

The scout shook his head and said, "Impossible! The subordinates saw their team directly on the hill, not based on footprints and stove pits, so there was no mistake! ”

"What's going on? How did the Wei army come out with so many more people for no reason? Huo Jun said with great annoyance.

"This must be a trick by the Wei army! The last general thinks that there must be something wrong with the army that goes to Chaoqu! It must be a distraction! Wu Lan reasoned.

Huo Jun pondered for a moment: "Immediately report this situation to Your Majesty and the Prime Minister!" Our army will not move for the time being! ”

"No!" Wu Lan and Fei Guan hugged their fists and promised.

About half an hour later, the scouts came to report that the main force of the Wei army had arrived.

Huo Jun immediately walked out of the big tent, came to the lookout platform of the Beiyuan Gate, looked north, and saw the black tide surging under the night, and the low footsteps were like muffled thunder.

Huo Jun frowned, and hurriedly ordered: "All arms for war!" ”

Immediately, the war drums in Liu's army sounded loudly, and 20,000 Liu troops began to line up in the camp, and everyone couldn't help but be a little nervous.

There was no fighting that night.

After the Wei army arrived, they set up camp while on guard and kept busy until the early morning of the next day.

In the morning, Huo Jun finally waited for Zhuge Liang's order. Zhuge Liang ordered him to act according to the plan and leave the Wei army marching towards Qu'a alone.

Huo Jun thought that Zhuge Liang already had a perfect plan. So he immediately left behind the Wei army that had marched into Qu'a.

"General Wu, immediately order a cavalry. Ben is going to go out of the camp to try the Wei army's catties! Huo Jun ordered.

Wu Lan was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded: "General, the current enemy situation is unknown, how can you rush into battle?" ”

Huo Jun said: "Don't be afraid of Zhang He's child!" Go and order your troops now! ”

Wu Lan saw Huo Jun's insistence, and thought that Zhang He didn't seem to have any too amazing achievements, but Huo Jun's martial arts were second only to the veteran Huang Zhong, so it seemed that he should indeed not be Huo Jun's opponent, so he took the order.

However, Wu Lan immediately came back and reported urgently: "General." It seems that the Wei army is about to attack in an all-out way! ”

Huo Jun got up, walked out of the big tent, and came to the Beiyuan Gate with a group of generals, looking out, only to see tens of thousands of Wei army foot soldiers slowly advancing towards the camp, in front of which was a formation composed of tower shield soldiers, and other troops were behind them, and dozens of rushing vehicles were advancing with the tide of the infantry army. At the same time, tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry were divided into two wings and waited for them.

Huo Jun frowned and said, "Why is the Wei army in such a hurry to attack?" ”

Wu Lan said: "According to common sense, they should take at least a full day off!" However, these Wei army foot soldiers give me a strange feeling, they are not like the elite of a hundred battles. It's more like a new army that hasn't experienced much baptism of iron, and their armor is no better than ours! ”

"Nothing about that! Tell all the ministries to prepare for battle! Huo Jun ordered.

"No!" Wu Lan clenched her fists and promised, and immediately went down.

The war drums of the Wei army suddenly rang out. Nearly 100,000 Wei soldiers shouted fiercely, and the soldiers of Liu Jun couldn't help but be startled. Immediately, dozens of storming vehicles were seen speeding towards the camp at the same time, driven by dozens of sergeants. With the loud sound of the incident, at the same time, the Wei army's tower shield front had stopped, and tens of thousands of strong crossbowmen released arrows at the same time. Raindrops of arrows flew towards Cao's barracks. The sound of doobling resounded, and many Liu soldiers screamed and were shot to the ground.

Immediately Liu Jun's crossbowmen began to return fire, the two sides of the arrow rain in the air staggered to fly, the scene was spectacular, the Wei army rushed forward with the rain of arrows, but most of them did not reach the flail under the flail, the soldiers who pushed the city car dropped the city car in horror and fled, and then fell under the rain of arrows of Liu Jun.

Seeing this scene, Zhang He couldn't help frowning, and said secretly: "The combat effectiveness of the local army is really bad!" ”

Several rushing vehicles finally rushed to the shackles of Liu Jun's camp, and at this time, Liu Jun's arrow rain became more violent, like a storm.

In less than a moment, nearly a hundred Wei troops all fell under the rain of arrows from Liu's army, and the first wave of Wei attacks did not achieve any results.

Seeing this scene, Zhang He couldn't help but flick his horsewhip and ordered: "Order the entire army formation to move forward!" ”

The herald answered the promise and immediately went down to give the order.

Zhang He turned his head to the Right Virtuous King on the side and said, "Right Virtuous King, order the Xianbei Legion to go forward and support the frontal battlefield at any time!" ”

Zhang He was really a little worried about the local army.

King Youxian nodded, and said a few words to the two personal soldiers beside him, and the two personal soldiers immediately rode away on horseback, the Xianbei Legion is considered a self-contained system in the Wei army, and the orders and other aspects are different from the regular troops of the Wei army, but Cao Cao is already planning to reorganize the barbarian legions such as the Xianbei Legion and the Wuhuan Legion.

Nearly 50,000 Wei troops slowly advanced forward with the tower shield front as the first guide, and the crossbowmen behind the tower shield were constantly firing arrows at the Liu army camp, and the whole formation looked very untidy, and the front tower shield front was crooked, which was a bit of a dog's tooth staggered taste.

At the same time, the cavalry of the 50,000 Xianbei Legion also slowly advanced on the left and right flanks.

Huo Jun frowned and said, "If you let it advance under the flail, our army will be difficult to resist!" The hussars will attack with Ben! ”

"General, don't do it!" Wu Lan hurriedly persuaded.

Huo Jun said categorically: "When you continue to break, you will suffer from it!" Since it is difficult to hold on, why not simply attack! I've made up my mind, don't say it again! ”

Immediately, Huo Jun ignored the opposition of his generals, stepped on the war horse, and led three thousand light cavalry to resolutely rush out of the camp, seeing this scene, Wu Lan sighed with annoyance, and then ordered the whole army to suppress the opponent's crossbowmen with bows and crossbows, and Liu Jun's arrow rain was even more dense.

Huo Jun led 3,000 cavalry to rush out of the camp, and then rushed straight towards a Wei army formation in front, carrying his blade, with a momentum like a tiger.

Seeing the terrifying Xiahou Mourning leading three thousand horsemen to kill, the soldiers of the Wei army formation who bore the brunt of the attack couldn't help but feel a commotion, and then showed excitement, everyone thought that it was easy for 10,000 people to eliminate these 3,000 people, not to mention that there were nearly 100,000 comrades around.

However, what happened next was far from what they expected.

Huo Jun took the lead in galloping in front of the Wei army's formation, and let out a roar, which was really like thunder, and many Wei soldiers couldn't help but tremble physically and mentally and took a step back.

The blade in Huo Jun's hand swept towards the Wei army with a whistling wind, and more than a dozen tower shield hands flew out with a scream, and the tower shield in his hand had broken into countless pieces at this moment, flying in the air. (To be continued.) )
