Chapter Seventy-ninth: Intensive Battles (Continued)
Cao Cao was indeed satisfied, because it was obvious that the Xiahou Dun brothers and Le Jin and the other three passed the pass almost at the same time today, which was indeed better than before. Therefore, what else was he not satisfied with in this situation? Cao Cao was indeed quite satisfied with this. He did not expect to break the Hangu Pass in a joke. Cao Cao believed that there was no problem with his side to gradually deal with the Liangzhou soldiers in Hangu Pass. After a long time, he was not afraid, but he was so close to Yuzhou and Yanzhou.
I don’t worry about food and grass. After I came back from Youzhou, it has been a long time since I started working. So I have prepared enough food and grass for Sili this time. After all, the farming in the past few years has definitely not been done in vain. Even if I offend people or something because of this, it is actually worth it. After all, my food and grass are indeed sufficient than before.
In the first Yanzhou army, Cao Cao had a lot of soldiers and troops, so he was indeed short of food. Otherwise, he would not have insisted on attacking Xuzhou, where there were more food and grass than his territory, so he had to attack. Now, because the military farming in recent years has at least added a lot of food and grass to Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, which is real. Now the Yanzhou army is still sufficient.
-----------------------------------------------------
Wu Yi and the other two at Hangu Pass were sweating profusely at this time. They had to say that Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were really superb in martial arts, and they were really not as good as them. If they weren't talking about them, they were even Le Jin. The three of them were not opponents, so they fell into a hard battle.
Even if they did not appear in front of the three Xiang Xiahou brothers, they commanded their own soldiers and surrounded the three. Even so, Wu Yi and the other two were still under great pressure. They knew that if more and more soldiers from Yanzhou came up, even if Hangu Pass was not broken, they would still be suspended. Therefore, although the three of them did not dare to step forward, they would try their best to let the soldiers deal with Xiahou Dun and the others.
After all, it was already this time, and because of martial arts, Wu Yi and the other two dared not be so close to Xiahou brothers. So in other words, they were no longer dominant, but instead reduced their morale. But the three of them were doing their best. At this time, they were not the protagonists, but the protagonists were soldiers of Liangzhou. In this case, Wu Yi and the others played the role of a leader, but the one who actually went forward to fight Xiahou Dun and the others was the soldiers of Liangzhou. And at this time, the Liangzhou army took the initiative.
After all, there were too many people in them, and the soldiers from Yanzhou were limited. Therefore, Xiahou Dun and the other two were almost unable to resist.
-----------------------------------------------------
So the first one to fall down, or to be more precise, was Le Jin, who had the lowest martial arts skills among Xiahou Dun and the other two. His martial arts skills were better than Wu Yi and the others, but they were indeed not as good as the Xiahou brothers, so they were the first one to be forced to retreat.
As soon as Le Jin retreated, he dispersed his soldiers before and went to deal with the Xiahou brothers. Of course, there was also Ma Han who was commanding. He did not dare to approach the Xiahou brothers, but it did not mean that he did not dare to command the soldiers to fight. That was impossible.
I had long noticed that Le Jin was forced to get off Hangu Pass, and Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan felt extremely regretful. They thought to themselves, why didn’t you hold on for a while? Although the Xiahou brothers also knew that his martial arts were indeed worse than his own. If Cole Jin was at the pass, he would attract many Liangzhou soldiers after all, which was to attract firepower.
So with him here, he naturally shared the pressure faced by his two brothers. Obviously, the fewer soldiers on the city wall are in the face, the less pressure they have on them. If Le Jin is there, he can be divided up some of them. But now he has been forced to retreat, and the people who have dealt with him before have been transferred to deal with his two brothers at this time. It's really unlucky and difficult.
-----------------------------------------------------
After Le Jin got off the pass, he was extremely unwilling to accept it, so he used the fastest speed to climb the cloud ladder once. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that most of the soldiers at the pass were going to deal with Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, so that he could quickly climb Hangu Pass, which was indeed labor-saving.
But his idea was indeed very good, this one was good. But the gap between ideals and reality was still quite large. At least for Le Jin at this moment, it was not small. Although there were a lot less time to deal with him at this time, there were only that little bit left, but the fragments on the top of the city fell like rain, which made Le Jin feel disgusting. He had to admit that even if there were fewer soldiers on the top of the city, the combat power of each soldier in the Liangzhou Army guarding the city was really a little bit, no, it was not weakened at all, but there were fewer people.
He also admitted in his heart that the combat power of the soldiers of Liangzhou was indeed stronger than that of his own soldiers. But when he really encountered it, and facing the enemy's strong defense of the city, Le Jin was helpless. He avoided the first day of the lunar month, but he did not avoid the fifteenth day of the country and fell down the ladder.
He was so angry that he was so frustrated. Now that he hadn't even stepped up the city, he had let the soldiers of Liangzhou fight back. This was really a shame. He had lost all his face. Fortunately, the Xiahou brothers didn't know and didn't see it. This was not too embarrassing.
-----------------------------------------------------
Otherwise, he might have to be ashamed of himself. Le Jin naturally could not be embarrassed, but compared to his soldiers at this time, he obviously valued the views of the Xiahou brothers on him. If the soldiers felt embarrassed, it was not too big. After all, Le Jin didn't feel that he was less embarrassed. But in front of the Xiahou brothers, he really didn't want to do this, he didn't want to.
He knew that his ability was really worse than the Xiahou brothers, but Colejin didn't want them to be underestimated at all. Therefore, he knew that the Xiahou brothers had not seen him like this and did not notice him, so he felt a little relieved.
Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan at the Pass continued to fight hard. Similarly, the soldiers of Liangzhou at the Pass were the same. Of course, because of the previous rekindence, some of the soldiers were divided to deal with him. But at this time, he retreated to the city. Most of the soldiers who had dealt with him had gone to deal with the Xiahou brothers, but naturally, the troops who had dealt with the Xiahou brothers were much more relaxed. Indeed, if not for this, they would have to face a lot of pressure at this time and would not have been so relaxed.
After Lejin, Xiahou Yuan also forced the Liangzhou soldiers to retreat. With his reluctance, he retreated directly.
-----------------------------------------------------
Xiahou Yuan was helpless. If he could stay in Hangu for a while, he would never come down early. But in fact, this was impossible. Unless he was worried about being injured, then in this case, he could still stay in the lock for a while.
But that's possible? Being injured by oneself is not a big deal. How many people who are military generals are not injured? Those who have never been injured are still called military generals? I guess they are all literati better than you, so Xiahou Yuan is really not afraid of being injured or something.
The main reason is that he knew that if he was injured, not only the morale of his soldiers would be hit. Even in the end, his lord would not let him lead his troops to attack the city. Therefore, he must not be injured! These two aspects are what Xiahou Yuan values the most. He is not afraid of being injured, but about what happens after being injured. What else is there to be scary about other things?
Xiahou Yuan looked at Le Jin who had climbed the ladder again. He shook his head in his heart and smiled bitterly. He thought to himself that he had hoped Wen Qian could hold on for a while before. But now, he is not much better than others. This is even more important. Wen Qian went down first, but in a short while, he was forced to retreat.
-----------------------------------------------------
When Le Jin retreated, Xiahou Dun knew very well. After all, there were still such a big disturbance that few people could not be discovered by him. No matter how he said Xiahou Dun was a general, he would not be able to do this when he was surrounded. But indeed, it would not be much different, even if he had been surrounded.
So he knew this, and when his brother was forced to retreat, he knew it even more. After all, Xiahou Yuan was closer to him, so naturally he knew it long ago. Therefore, at this time, after Xiahou Yuan retreated, his heart skipped a beat. At this time, Xiahou Dun thought to himself, could he still support him soon and be forced to retreat? If that was not the case, he would be almost unable to withstand it!
Xiahou Dun's martial arts are indeed very good, and this is not wrong at all. So Wu Yi and the others really dare not get too close. And the ruthlessness of the man is indeed correct. If Xiahou Dun is not ruthless, there are still a few ruthless people? It is absolutely true, but when countless Liangzhou soldiers attacked him one after another, he was not afraid of death and surrounded and killed him. Moreover, the soldiers who had dealt with Xiahou Yuan had already slowly surrounded him, and they were going to surround him and kill him.
-----------------------------------------------------
Xiahou Dun complained in his heart. Although he thought his martial arts were good, he could not help him in the face of so many people. And the most important thing is that even if he was a little ruthless, he would not play a big role when facing so many people. Indeed, even if he was a ruthless person at this time, he could not suppress so many Liangzhou soldiers who were already red-eyed.
So Xiahou Dun made a quick decision at this time. The man was not only well-developed, but that was pure. Although Xiahou Dun was indeed not very smart compared to his younger brother Xiahou Yuan. But he was still good compared to ordinary people.
At least at this time, he knew better than anyone else that he could not let the soldiers who had dealt with his brothers surround him. If this was the case, although he would not die, he might be injured. So this was definitely not worth it. Therefore, he made a quick decision and was ready to retreat. He shouted loudly, fought out a bloody path, and jumped directly from the shut.
A ruthless person is a ruthless person. Perhaps Xiahou Dun's ruthlessness has not shown much effect before. But at this time, he had the intention to retreat and did it. Not everyone in the closed soldiers dared to stop him desperately. After all, how many people are not afraid of death?
-----------------------------------------------------
So even Wu Yi and the other three really had the intention to stop the soldiers and let the soldiers fight to the death. But in fact, the three of them were all clear about it and it was impossible to give Xiahou Dun any more. Just talking about his martial arts, he didn't even dare to do anything to himself. To be honest, it was enough to see that the soldiers on their own dared to fight to the death. So at this time, we really can't count on too much, right?
Yes, they also wanted to make Xiahou Dun injured and even leave it for him. But they also knew that it was impossible. The martial arts skills were not as good as others. It was really good to perform this at this time, so what else could it be. At least the three of them knew, don't ask too much. If it was really possible to capture Xiahou Dun alive or kill him, then the three of them would be the same as the ones who fought to the death.
But things wouldn't be like this, so the three of them didn't order how their soldiers were ordered. They thought they all knew that their soldiers had done their best and they had done well enough. If they could really capture and kill Xiahou Dun, it would naturally be the best result. But if it weren't for this, then as long as they could force them to retreat, it was actually the best result that they could accept at this time, right? There was nothing else besides these.
