Chapter 105: Fighting Huaxiong

The night was as dark as paint, and more than ten thick candles were burned in the central tent of the Kanto Alliance Army, illuminating the entire tent as bright as daytime.

The spring night is still a bit cold. When the night wind blows, the personal soldiers on duty outside the tent can't help but shrink their necks. The atmosphere inside the tent is very hot. The county magistrates of the Kanto Alliance are talking and making a fuss.

Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai jumped out and spoke, "This strategy of seducing the enemy is not effective. It has tempted us all over the past two days and lost two consecutive games. But they just followed our butt for a while and pulled the baggage we left behind to win the victory. Our army in the canyon was bitten by mosquitoes for a long time, and suffered a lot, but it was a waste of water. From my perspective, they had just seen through our plan."

General Pan Feng of Jizhou also expressed his opinion: "Huaxiong is brave and our generals are not his opponents. Now he cannot lure the enemy and fight hard. What should I do?"

Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, explained: "Huaxiong is also a powerful general in Xiliang. He is brave, but he has no strategy. Our army's strategy a few days ago was successful. It's strange that he became so smart in the past two days. I guess there must be a master behind him."

"Master? Most of the military generals in the Xiliang army were Li Ru." Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang, analyzed: "Oh, could it be that Li Ru arrived at Hulao Pass?"

“That’s how many people are~”

"Li Ru is here, and the Xiliang army will be even more difficult to deal with..."

Seeing this, Cao Cao didn't say anything, closed his eyes and sat quietly on the couch, waiting for everyone to finish the discussion before opening his eyes and said, "Everyone~ No matter whether Li Ru arrived at Hulao Pass or not, whether Hua Xiong had seen through our plan, this Hulao Pass is a hurdle that we must pass on on our way to Luoyang!"

Seeing that everyone was waiting for his next sentence, Cao Cao coughed lightly, cleared his throat and continued, "Although Hua Xiong is brave, he is not as good as our soldiers. He can capture him with wheel tactics. It is not very effective to capture him alive. Hulao natural danger still blocks us. There are still so many soldiers in the pass, and the enemy will send a new commander, so we still have to attack hard."

"When it comes to the baggage, our rear is continuously transporting food, grass and weapons to the front line. Don't worry, losing some will have no effect on us. What we lack is large siege equipment, such as cloud ladders, siege cars, catapults, etc. I have made some arrangements. I have arrived in Xingyang yesterday and was led by the pioneer Zhou Yu, and can be transported to the camp today."

Before Cao Cao finished speaking, he heard a clear voice coming from outside the tent: "Who is mentioning my name?" Before he finished speaking, a young general in white robe picked up the door of the tent and walked into the tent. Everyone saw that this man was handsome and handsome, and his jade tree was like a wind. Isn't it Zhou Yu or who?

Cao Cao stroked the beard on his chin and laughed, "Gongjin's speed is really not slow. This really means that Zhou Yu and Zhou Yu will arrive."

Zhou Yu bowed to the people in the tent and said aloud: "Sir, Yu is polite."

Everyone in the tent hurriedly returned the greetings. Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, said with a smile: "Gongjin, you are also the prefect of a county now. Congratulations."

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "Jiujiang is too far away, I just take it from afar, haha."

Cao Cao walked up, grabbed Zhou Yu's hand, and asked him to sit next to him.

Zhou Yu asked Cao Cao softly: "Meng De, I heard that the Hulao Pass was not going well?"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "It's nothing. Hulao Pass is the most powerful pass in the world. There are many guards. Hua Xiong, the guard general, is very skilled in martial arts, so it will naturally take some more time."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but admire Cao Cao's psychological quality in his heart. He was worthy of being Emperor Wu of Wei in history. He was not surprised by chaos, never declined in frustration, and was smooth in dealing with things. It seemed that he was still far from him.

Although Zhou Yu's battles have basically been a victory ending since joining the Kanto Alliance, and the price paid is very small, Zhou Yu deeply knew that he had not encountered a truly powerful opponent. Zhang Ji and Dong Min could only be regarded as two small stones under Mount Tai in the chaotic times of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. At this time, he was an unknown person. With the advantage of time travel, it is easier to win by defeating the strong with the weak and by surprise. In the future, once the enemy pays more attention to him and carefully study his tactics and weaknesses, the battles he will face in the future will be much crueler, more difficult, and even suffer defeat.

Cao Cao experienced many defeats in his life, and almost lost his life several times, but he was never discouraged and never gave up. Every time he stepped on the ruins and redeveloped his team. Finally, he seized the opportunity to welcome Emperor Xian, and used the emperor to command the princes to defeat Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu, thus laying the foundation for his life.

At this moment, Zhou Yu saw Cao Cao say this, and volunteered: "Meng De, since the launch of the army, I have been a formal vanguard official, and this official seal is still hanging on my waist. Since Hua Xiong is so arrogant, I will go and meet him tomorrow. I want to see if he has three heads and six arms!"

"Oh~" Cao Cao looked at Zhou Yu with his eyes flashing, and said, "Gongjin, don't underestimate the enemy. Hua Xiong is the number one general in Xiliang. He has killed several generals of our army in a row. Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan of our army are all powerful brave generals, and they can't survive thirty rounds under his command."

Zhou Yu knew that Cao Cao was using the provocation method, so he followed the flow and said: "In this way, I am willing to issue a military order!"

Zhou Yu wanted to issue a military order? Everyone in the tent immediately became excited and unconsciously surrounded him as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood.

Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Gongjin, do you think this is true?"

Zhou Yu said resolutely: "If I don't capture and kill Hua Xiong tomorrow, I will come to see you!"

"Okay!" Cao Cao was overjoyed and ordered the personal soldiers outside the tent to come in, saying, "So quickly to prepare some wine and food in the kitchen, let's drink a few drinks tonight!"

The next day, the sun shone brightly, and Zhou Yu led his troops to call under the gate.

Zhang Ji saw the "Zhou" flag fluttering behind Zhou Yu on the city tower, and hurriedly reminded Hua Xiong beside him, "General Hua, the person calling the formation below is Zhou Yu, he, and he took Zhongmu and Xingyang..."

When Hua Xiong heard this, he stared at Zhou Yu fiercely, his eyes as sharp and cold as a knife. After watching for a while, Hua Xiong shouted loudly: "Open and close the door and go out of the city to meet the enemy!"

With a "boom", the hanging suspension bridge of Hulao Pass fell down, the city gate opened, Hua Xiong was dressed neatly, and led two thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry to rush out.

"Dong~Dong~Dong~" The drum in the Kanto Alliance Army was beaten.

"Dong~Dong~Dong~" War drums came from Hulao.

"Ha~~ Come and sign up! My subordinates of Hua Xiong will not kill the unknown people!" Hua Xiong's voice was like thunder.

"I'm going down to the east of the Yangtze River!" Zhou Yu bowed his hand immediately and replied calmly. His voice was still so fast and not very loud, but it was clearly heard in everyone's ears on the battlefield.

Many people in the Kanto Allied Forces were whispering, and the topic they were talking about was Zhou Yu: He looked quite tall and strong, but he was still far behind Hua Xiong, so Hua Xiong was as strong as an iron tower; Hua Xiong had a murderous aura on his face, but Zhou Yu had a calm and composed face. Can he defeat Hua Xiong?

Hua Xiong's deafening voice came again: "Zhou Yu, my brother from Xiliang Army, today is your death!" After that, Hua Xiong urged the war horse under his crotch, raised the heavy iron sword, and headed straight for Zhou Yu.

"Let's try it!" Zhou Yu also replied loudly, after saying that, he clamped his legs and shouted "Hold~". The white horse under Zhou Yu raised his neck and made a "swallowing" cry, spreading his horse's hooves and rushing towards Hua Xiong.

Zhou Yu and Hua Xiong's two horses began to accelerate. In the majestic Hulao Pass, the mountains on both sides retreated from their side like tides. The sound of "dede" horse hooves hit the hearts of every observer...

"Hey~" Zhou Yu shouted.

"Ha~" Hua Xiong exclaimed angrily.

The two horses intersected instantly, Hua Xiong's iron sword and Zhou Yu's bright silver spear collided violently, making a loud "clang" sound, numbing the ears of the soldiers watching the battle ahead.

Zhou Yu felt his arms were a little sore and a huge force was transmitted from his arms, violently attacking his chest, and he hurriedly used the energy from his dantian to resolve it.

When Zhou Yu tied the reins and turned his horse's head, Hua Xiong had turned around and shouted: "Good boy, I still have the strength to do it. Come on, come on, take me another knife!"

Hua Xiong's sword was fast and his horse was fast, and with a whistle, he rushed towards Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu thought to himself: "It seems that Hua Xiong's name as the number one strong general in Xiliang is not a false reputation. This person's brute force must be broken with moves."

Hua Xiong's horse had arrived in front of Zhou Yu, swept across the thousands of troops with one move, and the long iron sword reflected the light of the sun, like a bolt of lightning, sweeping towards Zhou Yu's waist quickly.

Zhou Yu did not block the move with his spear, but suddenly squeezed the horse's belly with both legs. With the help of the stirrups and his superb riding skills, the white horse under his crotch suddenly jumped forward and passed by Hua Xiong's side. Hua Xiong's powerful and heavy knife fell into vain.

In a flash, Zhou Yu handed the bright silver spear from his right hand to his left hand, swept it quickly, and was sweeping Hua Xiong's back. Hua Xiong felt a sudden pain in his back, as if he was hit by a big stone. His lungs suddenly became suffocated and he couldn't help but coughed a few times. He was frightened to find that as he coughed, blood was spurted out of the outlet.
