At noon, the sun finally showed its smiling face and sprinkled warmth on the world.

It's a pity that this bit of light and heat is still invincible to the north wind, the cold is still the same, and the cold wind is still dominated by the earth.

Tom tom!

Teng Xiao and the others, who were full of wine and food, did not hurry up to the top of the city, and once again stood on the city tower and looked down on Sun Ce's army under the city.

I saw that Hu Cai, who was calling the battle in front of the gate, shouted hoarsely, but he still stayed in front of the battle and shouted weakly, but the expression on his face and the tone of his shouting were no longer arrogant and arrogant before, like a frost-beaten dead leaf, his expression was sluggish and listless.

"This guy is very stubborn, he has been screaming and scolding for two hours, and he still has the strength to call the battle. It seems that the alliance of the princes is not monolithic, but Sun Cexiao'er is a little impersonal and too pressing! Teng Xiao groaned thoughtfully.

"Just as the Ruler said." The "Gongming" general who was in charge of defending the city reported again: "Hu Cai wanted to retreat to his own camp before, but he didn't want to be reprimanded by Sun Ce instead of getting Sun Ce's approval, so Hu Cai had to continue to stay in front of the pass to call for battle. ”

"Hmm." Teng Xiao nodded lightly and sneered: "Sun Ce is young and vigorous, and he has the outstanding achievements of the Ten Cities of Lianke, so naturally he will not take the leader of the white wave thieves in his eyes, and even we are nothing in his eyes. After a morning of drying them, they must be so hungry that their chests should be pressed against their backs. ”

After a pause in his tone, Teng Xiaohu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "For the past few days, we have been avoiding and not fighting, and defending the city to the death, this is not cowardice, nor is it cowardice, but a tactical strategy!" According to the order of the lord's army, we must hold Dongyuan City for five days, only more and not less, otherwise we are incompetent. Therefore, it is okay to go out of the city to meet the battle, but you can't go out with the whole army. There must be enough troops left to defend the city, and no matter what, Dongyuan City will not allow the slightest mistake. Where is the king? ”

Obviously, Teng Xiao had already decided to respond to the battle and was ready to send Wang Fang out to fight against the enemy generals who shouted and scolded in front of the battle.

"This 、、、 commander, after lunch, General Wang Fang will go to the city gate to wait for the general to fight!" Guo Meng hesitated for a moment, then replied respectfully.

"Ugh!" Teng Xiao was stunned when he heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said: "General Wang Fang is an impatient, and he won't delay for a moment." However, Ben will say that he will be allowed to fight. Since this is the case, he ordered him to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to meet the battle, and test the strength of the enemy generals. ”

"No, the last general will give an order immediately!" Guo Meng happily responded. Immediately left the city tower and walked more than ten steps. Standing at the head of the city and waving his hand, the long-awaited king at the gate of the city came to battle.

Just as Guo Meng gave the order. A trace of melancholy flashed in Teng Xiao's eyes, and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was a little relieved.

Seeing Teng Xiao's expression, Tie Xiao said in a low voice: "General Wang Fang has been in battle for a long time, and his martial arts are good, and he has followed Situ Li Dao to fight on the battlefield for many years. It shouldn't be missed. ”

Teng Xiao's expression slowed slightly, nodded lightly and said, "I know all this." Wang Fang followed Situ and the lord to fight for many years, and made many military exploits, winning the trust of the lord. Lao Cheng is serious, and he is also a veteran in the army. But why is he so eager to play this time? This is inconsistent with his previous calm and solemn dà, a bit abnormal! ”

Speaking of this, Teng Xiao raised his hand to beckon the guards and ordered: "Gongming will go out of the city with the army and sweep the battle for General Wang Fang in case of accidents." ”

"No, the last general will obey!" The guard called "Komeito" bowed down to receive the order, and immediately turned and left.

Seeing the guards leave, Tie Xiao said with a smile: "This Gongming general looks at the eyes, and it seems that he is the commander of the newly recruited generals. However, it can be seen that the commander values him very much, could it be that his martial arts are better than General Wang Fang? ”

Teng Xiao smiled slightly and said, "What you said is right. Six months ago, when I was inspecting Dongyuan Castle, I accidentally saw him training soldiers, which was quite disciplined and very rare. I immediately called him to the school for the examination, and found that he was strong in martial arts, and compared with me, he was only slightly inferior. Then he was promoted to lieutenant, deputy general of Dongyuan City, and assisted Wang Fang to garrison Dongyuan City. This time, I would like to recommend this person to the lord because my name and origin will be kept secret for the time being, and I will officially introduce him to you after meeting the lord. Hehehe! ”

"Oh? It turns out that the commander wants to be a Bole this time, hehehe! Tie Xiao said with a surprised smile, and the generals around him also laughed in agreement.

It is true that the generals have never seen Teng Xiao appreciate a person so much before, this is the first time, and it is directly recommended to the lord Li Li, such a solemn act is really surprising to the generals.

————————————

"Listen to the thieves in the city, your grandfather Hu is standing here, what can you do with me! Have the courage to come out and fight with grandpa for 300 rounds、、、、、、"

Seeing Teng Xiao and the others walking up to the city again, Hu Cai, who was originally weak, suddenly came to his senses and shouted loudly again.

At this moment, he really hoped that Teng Xiao would be able to go out of the city to face the battle, and only when the Xiliang Army went to war, he could retreat to his own position, otherwise he would have to keep shouting like this. For two whole hours, he shouted so that his mouth was parched and his lips were chapped; If he continues like this, I'm afraid that half of his life will be lost here, and he will also become the first general in history to call for battle before the pass and be seriously injured.

In addition, Hu Cai secretly cursed Sun Ce in his heart every time he shouted, so much so that he regarded cursing Sun Ce as the motivation to scold before the battle, and encouraged himself to persevere until the Xiliang army went to battle. It is no exaggeration to say that if he hadn't known that he was invincible to Sun Ce and was forced to this step by Sun Ce, he would definitely fight back and kill Sun Ce to vent his hatred.

It's a pity that this kind of thought can only be thought about and just talk about masturbation. In fact, he has already seen Sun Ce's strength, don't look at Sun Ce's ability to beat Lu Bu, but the generals who can survive thirty rounds under Lu Bu are only a handful in the world. Therefore, even if the three Hu Cai go together, it is not enough for Sun Ce to plug his teeth.

How can people not bow their heads when they are under the eaves!

Hu Cai, who received Sun Ce's strict order, even though he was unwilling and full of complaints, still had to scold in front of the horse, and there was no other way.

"Squeak!"

Just as Hu Cai was scolding, he saw that the south gate, which had been tightly closed for a morning, suddenly made a crisp sound, and it quickly opened. When the city gate opened, Hu Cai suddenly saw a fast horse galloping out and attacking him.

Suddenly, Hu Cai didn't know whether to be happy or worried, his head was dazed, and he opened his mouth wide and looked at the slowly open city gate, stunned and stupid.

Da-da-da-da!

"The thief Hu Cai is rampant, a certain king has come to fight you, suffer death!"

In the gallop of the horse, Wang Fang jumped on the horse and raised his gun, until he was less than fifty steps away from Hu Cai, and then shouted loudly to report the name.

Obviously, Wang Fang is worthy of being a battle-hardened veteran, and he knows the rules of the challenge before the battle, even if he is eager to kill Hu Cai, he still does not forget to report his name.

"Ugh!" The moment the loud shout reached Hu Cai's ears, he woke up in shock, and immediately hurriedly reined in his horse and turned around, trying to escape back to his own position. At this moment, he didn't think about riding his horse and swinging his sword to meet the battle, but instinctively chose to save his life, turned around and ran away with the reins in hand.

"The thief will leave and take his life! Kill ———! ”

Just as Hu Cai turned around the horse, Wang Fang, who was galloping, shouted angrily, and then stabbed with the spear in his hand, stabbing at Hu Cai's back as fast as lightning.

"Poof———!"

With the sound of a dull sharp weapon breaking the body, Hu Cai, who had just thrown his hand and rode his horse for two steps, was caught up by Wang Fang, and the spear struck. The sharp and piercing sound of breaking the air was extremely hidden in the cold wind, but Hu Cai, who had experienced countless battles, could still clearly sense the cold of the spear from his back. Suddenly, he tilted his body and clamped his legs around the horse's belly, trying to dodge the fatal blow. It's a pity that he was still half a beat slower after all, and he couldn't dodge the spear thrust in his back and avoid his back, but he was stabbed in the back by the spear, causing him to scream in pain.

However, Hu Cai slashed backhand at the moment of serious injury and slashed at Wang Fang on his side. At the same time, he gritted his teeth, hugged the horse's neck with one hand, lay on the horse's back, turned his head and fought with Wang Fang with a knife in one hand.

This scene seems simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult. Hu Cai's ability to be knocked off the horse by Wang Fang's shot shows his fierce temperament, and he can swing a knife to fight back when he is seriously injured, which is his instinctive reaction to fight all year round, and his ability to adapt to the battle is not weak. It's a pity that he only lacks a fearless heart, and he doesn't have the courage to fight to the death. Seeing that Wang Fang chased after him with a horse, and after being stabbed once, he still wanted to escape, trying to force Wang Fang back with a backhand knife, and then took the opportunity to escape back to his own position.

"Bell!" Wang Fang swung his spear and shook Hu Cai's sword, the spear swung with a swing, the spear turned sharply, and then stabbed hard, stabbing into Hu Cai's right shoulder blade. Immediately, Wang Fang picked up the gun with both hands, and picked Hu Cai, who was bent on escaping, off the horse.

"Ah-Sun Ce harmed me, you won't die well!"

When Hu Cai flew off the horse, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a cold light that went straight to his neck and struck through the air, instantly cutting the back of his neck. Suddenly, Hu Cai let out a terrible scream, but the last thing he said was to curse Sun Ce fiercely. In an instant, his eyes filled with endless resentment saw his head separate from his body, flying high into the air, and in an instant he fell into the endless dark abyss.

"Bang——— bang!"

With the sound of two landing sounds, one heavy and one light, drifted in the cold wind, Hu Cai's body and head fell to the ground one after another, clearly presented in front of Sun Ce's army.

"Second brother, you died so miserably, your head is in a different place!" This wail was not for one person, but for the mourning of three people in unison.

It goes without saying that the three people who wailed bitterly were Han Xian, Yang Feng and Li Le. However, what is surprising is that the three of them looked sad and wailed bitterly, but none of them fought to avenge Hu Cai, and naturally no one collected Hu Cai's body.

Such a mournful cry and mourning sound really made people sad to see and hear, but Sun Ce, who was in front of the Le Ma formation, noticed that Han Xian, Yang Feng and Li Le were crying bitterly, and the three pairs of teary eyes were always staring at the six thousand soldiers and horses under Hu Cai's original command.
