Xiao Guan was cold and attacking from Yanzhou to Xuzhou was the only way to pass, and of course the same was true for the other way around.

Cao Cao, who achieved a decisive victory in the Battle of Pengcheng, was familiar with military tactics. In order to prevent Gao Shun and Zhang Liao's attacks, he specially ordered Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian and Lu Qian to lead 10,000 troops to guard Xiaoguan before raising troops.

On November 27, 2018, outside Xiaoguan, the wind and sand were everywhere, and the bitter north wind rolled the dead branches, leaves, and even everything attached to the ground into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Just when it was cold and cold, a thin and tired army arrived here.

"Wen Yuan, wait a while, I will lead the camp to the front of the pass to fight. You will lead the Yanbei cavalry to detour to Fangji and wait for the enemy to relax and fight out in one fell swoop." Gao Shun's eyes were deep, and a pair of blood-covered eyes stared at every move on the city. From Hefei to Xiaoguan, a long-distance march of less than hundreds of miles was added to his forehead.

Beside Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, who was wearing a helmet and armor, held a big knife, was also very tired, but he was about ten years younger than Gao Shun. He was full of energy and had endless strength in his hands.

Zhang Liao turned his head to look at Gao Shun, shook his head, and sighed, "Brother Xiahou, plus Li Dian and Lu Qian, this battle is definitely the same. If the two armies are in a roundabout way, the enemy will definitely be suspicious. The roundabout plan may be useless! Besides, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun are all brave generals of the world, and most of their elite soldiers are cavalry. Although the fighting power of the camp is extraordinary, they are afraid that the battle will be difficult to fight with their footsteps."

Gao Shun didn't say a word for a long time, and Zhang Liao was right. Cao Cao sent the brave generals Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Li Dian and Lu Qian to guard Xiaoguan, which shows that Cao Cao was wary of his return to help. The battle in front of him would be a head-on battle, and it was impossible to take any tricks.

Gao Shun's eyes kept staring at Xiao Guan in the yellow sand fog array, and a difficult smile appeared on his tough face. He asked slowly: "Wenyuan, how many years have you been with the lord?"

Zhang Liao was stunned and sighed: "I met the lord when he was in Bingzhou. It's been eight years since I counted."

"Eight years have passed in a flash - yesterday, the scout reported that Cheng Lian was killed and Song Xian was seriously injured. The old brothers of the past died, the rebellious rebellion, and the scattered. Alas!" Gao Shun sighed long, and his eyes were even more prosperous. The eight generals under the lord Lu Bu: Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Zang Ba. Hao Meng was killed because of his rebellion, and Cheng Lian was killed. Song Xian was still alive. Zang Ba was separated by Mount Tai, and he and Zhang Liao were blocked by the Xiahou brothers. The battle situation was so fragmented that if he could not conquer Xiaoguan, Xia Pi would be in danger for a long time.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were born and died together. How could they not know each other's state of mind? Gao Shun's words suddenly touched the most vulnerable part of Zhang Liao's heart. He shouted: "We are traversing the Central Plains and destroying thousands of enemies, so why are we here?"

When Gao Shun heard this, he smiled and said with a slight smile: "Anyone who destroys his family and destroys his country is not a wise person without loyal ministers, but he is worried that he will not use it. The lord's actions are unwilling to think about it in detail, and he likes to make mistakes, and mistakes are endless, so he will eventually lose this." After saying that, Gao Shun's face throbbed, and his burly body hidden under the iron armor could not help but tremble slightly. He had advised Lu Bu before these words, but Lu Bu, who had repeated temperament, could never take it as a warning.

Zhang Liao was also speechless at this time. As a subordinate, some things depend on the lord's personality, preferences, mind, and mood at that time. Gao Shun was innocent and dignified, never drank alcohol or accepted the benefits of bribery. This was unique in Lu Bu's army, and even Lu Bu himself could not do it. Drinking and women have always been men, especially men who claim to be heroes, and Lu Bu is naturally no exception.

Gao Shun - Although Gao Shun is a good subordinate, he will sometimes be jealous after being self-disciplined. This jealousy not only comes from his colleagues, but also from his lord. What's more, as Gao Shun advised, Lu Bu is not a person with a broad mind. There is such a difference and difference. Although Gao Shun's words are pertinent, Lu Bu is mostly just listening and not really counting.

Lu Bu was brave, but not an excellent lord. This idea suddenly appeared in Zhang Liao's heart. Although there was still a trace of hesitation and struggle, the seeds had been deeply planted.

"Have you heard about Xuan Gao?" Gao Shun's voice was low and noisy. Since Cao Cao broke through Mount Tai, Zang Ba, Wu Dun, Yin Li and Sun Guan led his troops to raid Dongjun and were defeated by Cheng Yu.

Zhang Liao was excited and said, "Xuan Gao has returned to Langya. As long as we can take down Xiaoguan, the two armies can be connected together and completely cut off the Cao army's retreat. In this way, the siege of Xia Pi can be lifted."

Gao Shun looked back and glanced at the timid soldiers behind him, his eyes as hot as fire.

"The soldiers of the trapped camp are all standing in front!" Gao Shun shouted.

"Yes!" The general Cao Xing responded first. His strong body was tall and his face was solemn, and his face, which was blown by the wind, looked solemn. Behind him, the seven hundred soldiers all came out of the formation without any delay.

Gao Shun nodded with satisfaction, pointed at the head of Xiaoguan City, and said loudly: "There are warm quilts, hot fires, and hot meals, do you want them?"

"Think—!" the seven hundred soldiers shouted, pulling their necks.

"Okay, follow me!" Gao Shun's voice was not loud, but he was calm and powerful. After a brief sentence, he was pulled out his horse and knife and rushed straight to Xiaoguan City. Behind him, Cao Xing followed closely with a big banner.

Zhang Liao looked at Gao Shun's back gradually moving away, and a desolate feeling suddenly surged in his heart. In the past few years, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao have fought side by side, and have never known how many times they have almost lost their lives. However, in the past, Zhang Liao had never been so worried about Gao Shun, only today's battle--.

"Yanbei cavalry, rush!" Zhang Liao raised his sword high in the air and ordered loudly.

Not long after Gao Shun and Zhang Liao's attack on the enemy, the Xiaoguan City Gate opened, and an iron cavalry rushed out like a torrent that had come out of the gate. The two big characters "Xiahou" on the flag were lined with the embroidery on the yellow edge, which was extremely eye-catching.

The two generals led the army, one on the left and one on the right, were the two brothers Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun.

When he heard the news of Gao Shun and Zhang Liao's invasion, the Xiahou brothers, who had breathed a sigh of relief, ordered their troops early and prepared to go out of the pass to fight. Relatively speaking, Li Dian, who had always been self-steady, had some reservations: "Yuan Rang, Miaocai, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao came from afar, and they would definitely be exhausted. We just need to follow the orders of the lord and guard the pass closely. If the enemy wants to climb the pass, they can only attack one way. Dian thought that no matter how powerful the camp was, it would be impossible to break through the pass guarded by you and me, one of the ten thousand elite soldiers."

After hearing Li Dian's words, Xiahou Dun, who was about to slap out of seclusion, burst into laughter with a arrogant expression on his face. He shouted: "Mancheng is a bad word. It doesn't take a few days to defeat Gao Shun and Zhang Liao. Today, my brothers and two of them will be killed." After that, he destroyed the war horse and roared out with Xiahou Yuan in a loud laugh.

In this battle, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun led 7,000 elite troops to fight Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Li Dian and Lu Qian led the remaining 3,000 soldiers to guard the pass.

The two armies were facing each other, and Xiahou Dun led a Biao army to rush down to the close of the gate and was meeting Gao Shun's army. Xiahou Dun had always been brave and had long heard of the great reputation of Gao Shun's camp in Lu Bu's army, and he was dissatisfied. At this time, he saw that it was Gao Shun's banner, so he was overjoyed.

"Gao Shun, you can be the enemy of Xiahou Yuanrang!" Xiahou Dun shouted loudly, slapped his horse and shot his gun to fight.

Gao Shun's roster also caught a glimpse of Xiahou Dun's banner. He knew that it was a strong enemy, so he did not dare to neglect him at the moment. He urgently ordered Cao Xing to suppress his position and raise his sword to meet the enemy.

After more than ten rounds, the two fought to the point where they were equal, and there was no difference between the winner and the loss.

When the fight was tight, Xiahou Dun's expression gradually became serious. He gathered his strength to hold Gao Shun's knife and said, "Gao Shun, it's a pity that you have to surrender to Lu Bu with such martial arts. It would be better to follow me and join Lord Sikong, and you will enjoy endless wealth and glory at that time!"

Gao Shun laughed and said, "Xiahou Dun, you made the wrong plan. I, Gao Shun, are you such a shameless person!"

After saying that, he raised his sword and slashed towards Xiahou Dun in the air. The two of them fought fiercely for more than forty rounds. Gao Shun was exhausted and unable to withstand it gradually.

"Gao Shun, that's all!" Xiahou Dun laughed loudly. Seeing that Gao Shun had already defeated, Xiahou Dun became more and more brave as he fought. A long spear made it impossible for the wind and rain, and the spear flowers rushed straight to Gao Shun like blood-soaked waves.

The power of the trapped camp lies in the formation, not in the single-handed fight against the enemy. Gao Shun's martial arts are actually a master of great generals, but in front of Xiahou Dun, he was still a little worse. In addition, he was tired from running around for many days, and his body was not easy to support for forty rounds. Gao Shun barely swayed for a few rounds, and his arms were already sore and numb. So he pulled his horse's head and wanted to return to the formation. Xiahou Dun was getting more and more capable of killing him, so how could he let Gao Shun return safely?

"General——!" Cao Xing, who was watching the formation from behind, saw it clearly. A sharp arrow was already on the bowstring in a scream. As a general in the camp, Cao Xing was not only loyal, righteous, brave and proficient in formations, but also had an arrow skill that could hit every move.

"Swoosh--!" Xiahou Dun, who could not catch up with a horse, stabbed Gao Shun directly behind his back, but suddenly heard a strong wind rushing to his face. Then his eyes became dark, and a sharp pain came from his left eye, penetrated his brain, and it hurt his heart and lungs.

Cao Xing hit Xiahou Dun's left eye with this arrow. The severe pain almost made Xiahou Dun fall off his horse.

Xiahou Dun quickly reached out and held the arrow shaft tightly. He pulled it hard, and his bloody eyes were immediately brought out with the arrow, hanging on the arrow and trembled slightly. He covered his left eye with one hand, holding the arrow and shouted: "How can a father's sperm and mother's blood be wasted!" After shouting, he opened his mouth and swallowed his eyes into his abdomen, then gave up Gao Shun, drew his horse and spear to attack Cao Xing who was casting the hidden arrow.

Xiahou Dun was severely injured, like a bloodthirsty wolf. His only one-eyed eyes showed a cruel smile. In the face of Xiahou Dun's violent aura, Cao Xing was completely in panic.

"Retreat into the formation!" Gao Shun turned around and shouted at Cao Xing's danger. After the battle just now, Gao Shun understood that only by retreating into the trap camp and relying on the exquisiteness of the formation, Xiahou Dun's momentum could be stopped.

However, at this time, Cao Xing was shocked by Xiahou Dun's momentum and stood there blankly, waiting for Xiahou Dun to rush over.

"You shoot my eyes and I will take your life!" Xiahou Dun sneered gloomyly, and raised his gun and knocked Cao Xing over and down. The soldiers on both sides were shocked when they saw Xiahou Dun so fierce.

On the other side of the battlefield, Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Liao were both fighting each other, and the cavalry showdown between Yanbei Cavalry and Xiahou Iron Cavalry was even more thrilling than the one-on-one challenge on this side.

Just like two rushing torrents collided, the splashed dust had covered Xiao Guan's original appearance, and the enemy and me could no longer distinguish them in the dust. The only remaining feeling of the soldiers on both sides was: charge, charge again, swing the knife, swing the knife again, until they could no longer lift the weapons in their hands.

The wail of war horses mixed with the cry of the injured soldiers came endlessly. Li Dian, who was standing at the top of Xiaoguan City, could no longer see the progress of the battle. In the rolling yellow sand, the flags of "Xiahou" appeared and appeared.

"Zike, you lead 500 soldiers to defend the city, and the rest will follow me to fight!" Li Dian said in a deep voice, and quickly walked down the city.

Although Li Dian knew that this was the most critical time, and the outcome was often in a moment. Compared with Gao Shun and Zhang Liao who had no support, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun were lucky because they had Li Dian.

The collapse almost began at the same time. When Li Dian's 2,500 new forces entered the battlefield, the Yanbei cavalry, who had been overwhelmed, was defeated on the whole line. Although Zhang Liao entangled Xiahou Yuan tightly, he could not stop Li Dian's attack. At the same time, the camp also lost its morale because of Cao Xing's death in battle. Although Xiahou Dun withdrew from the battlefield due to eye injuries, Gao Shun could never take the initiative in the overall situation.

Fall, lose again and again.

Gao Shun, who was traveling north from Huainan, was severely injured in Xiaoguan, and lost more than 2,000 elite troops in one battle. When he retreated to the Xiacai area, the entire army suddenly dropped from the 7,000 people when he set out to more than 1,000 people.

Among them, the most brave camp in Lu Bu's army, the Yanbei cavalry suffered particularly heavy losses. Under the whirlwind of Xiahou Yuan for 500 days and 1,000 days, there were only 300 cavalry who escaped safely. The camp dominated by infantry was almost wiped out, and the main general Gao Shun was seriously injured. If it weren't for Zhang Liao's desperate rescue, Gao Shun would have died in the battlefield like Cao Xing, without any corpse.
