Chapter 681: An Arrow Behind
"I've been fooled!"
Xiahou Yuan didn't care about saving people, and he couldn't save them tonight, so he hurriedly retreated and took more than a hundred of his people to fight out.
"Don't let Xiahou Yuan escape."
Ma Chao stopped Xiahou Yuan.
Xiahou Yuan was furious. Since that was the case, he did not plan to leave alive. Even if he died, he would still take Ma Chao to the bottom.
"Father, I'll help you!"
A angrily shouted out from outside the Shu camp.
When Xiahou Heng learned that his younger brother was captured, he could not sit still, so he directly brought troops to save the people.
As soon as he arrived at the Dingjun Mountain Pass, Xiahou Heng learned that his father had gone to attack, so he immediately led his troops up the mountain.
With his joining, Xiahou Yuan's pressure was reduced sharply, but he still couldn't kill him because there were too many enemies and they were too messy.
"General Xiahou, Huang Zhong is here!"
Huang Zhong also came to rescue after receiving the news and rushed in with his troops.
The two sides joined forces to successfully rescue Xiahou Yuan and killed all the way to the foot of the mountain.
Seeing that the three troops of Cao's army gathered together, Ma Chao did not dare to chase and retreated back to the barracks and ordered people to strengthen their defense.
After fighting out, Xiahou Yuan regretted his life and death when he thought that Xiahou Ba was imprisoned in Cao's camp.
He should not be eager for quick success.
"Don't worry, my father, I will kill to Dingjun Mountain and rescue Zhongquan back." Xiahou Heng shouted.
"return!"
Huang Zhong said: "You can't be anxious about saving people. I captured the Shu general Chen Shi, which can be used to exchange for Xiahou Zhongquan."
Capturing the enemy's generals alive is a great achievement, but sending people back and exchanging Xiahou Ba is equivalent to not having any credit.
After hearing Huang Zhong's words, Xiahou Heng felt guilty. He had thought about competing with Huang Zhong before, which led to Xiahou Ba being captured. Now he has to rely on Huang Zhong to save Xiahou Ba.
"Thank you, General Huang."
Xiahou Yuan said gratefully.
"General, you have to be polite. We are a family. Zhongquan is still the hope of the future in our army. So what if you give it to them just a Chen style?"
Huang Zhong said righteously: "About tomorrow morning, I will ask Zhuge Liang to tell him that he is willing to exchange Chen style for Zhongquan. If they refuse, we will ask General Chen to help him again and find a way to save Zhongquan."
That's all they can do now.
Soon, it was dawn.
Xiahou Yuan was worried about his son, so he ordered someone to go up the mountain as soon as possible to convey the news that he wanted to exchange hostages.
After a long time, news came from the mountain, and Zhuge Liang agreed to the exchange.
At noon, both sides formed a formation and gathered at the foot of the mountain.
On the Shu army, Ma Chao and Liu Feng were responsible for the exchange.
On the Cao army, Xiahou Yuan and the others were all there, looking at Ma Chao and others with murderous intent.
"How do you exchange?"
Ma Chao said loudly.
"What if we let them come over and we don't interfere?"
Huang Zhong responded first.
This is also their best method. Ma Chao agreed and then someone brought out the bruised Xiahou Yuan.
Xiahou Heng also brought Chen Shi, who was beaten up, to the army and asked them to walk back. Both sides really didn't take action and kept waiting for both sides to walk in front of their own army.
Huang Zhong saw Chen Shi and was about to enter the Shu army. The opportunity was just right. He narrowed his eyes, picked up the bow hanging on the saddle, and bent his bow and arrow.
He didn't even need to aim, and the arrow had already shot out, hit Chen Shi's back and fell to the ground with a bang.
How could Chen Shi whom he captured let Chen Shi go back alive?
"Old man, despicable and shameless!"
Liu Feng was furious and led his troops to come over.
Soldiers are treacherous, and soldiers are never tired of deceitful deception. Huang Zhong is far from being able to make decisions.
"Take Zhongquan back quickly, and everyone else will be with me and kill!"
Huang Zhong bent his bow and arrow, shot and killed several enemies, threw the big bow, drew out the big sword and rushed into the enemy.
Xiahou Heng quickly pulled Xiahou Ba and rushed towards the back army, and the rest of Cao's army quickly gathered over.
Seeing Huang Zhong so decisive and bold, Xiahou Yuan was stunned for a moment, and finally he came to a conclusion that he was far inferior to this experienced veteran general.
"kill!"
Thinking of Ma Chao's abomination, Xiahou Yuan was so angry that he was angry. Now he didn't have any grudges to avenge him. If he had revenge, he would kill him even more vigorously.
I don’t know how long it took to kill. After both sides retreated, the mountain recovered from quietness.
Liu Feng returned to the mountain with Chen Shi's body, and was furious.
The bow Huang Zhong used was as powerful as three stones. The power of this arrow was comparable to that of steel. The crossbow arrow almost penetrated Chen's body and could never survive again.
"Huang Zhong, you old man, I will kill you sooner or later!" Liu Feng said ruthlessly.
When Zhuge Liang heard the news, he also came to see it and sighed: "Huang Zhong is really hard to deal with, but... let's follow the original plan."
In Cao's camp.
Xiahou Ba was just beaten up, and there was no other problem. The doctor simply bandaged him and was injured for a few more days before he could go to the battlefield again.
After returning to the military camp, Xiahou Ba said gratefully: "General Huang, if you were not willing to come to save me this time, I might not have come back."
Xiahou Yuan also said: "The old general, I am really sorry. Before today, I was thinking about how to compete with you for credit. I am a villain."
"General Xiahou is so straightforward!"
Huang Zhong laughed and said, "Let him go to the past. Next, we'd better not be eager for quick success or instant benefits. I'll go back to my military camp as soon as possible, worrying that Liu Feng will come to attack. If there is a place where I need my help, send someone to find me at any time."
"I'll send the old general out."
Xiahou Heng said.
Not long after Huang Zhong left, Chen Yang also came to Xiahou Yuan’s military camp. When he learned that Xiahou Ba was captured, he was worried that the matter would be too serious and had to come over to take a look.
"General Xiahou, is Zhongquan okay?"
Chen Yang said worriedly.
"It's okay, I'm just beaten up. That kid's skin is thick and thick, so it's okay to get a few more beats."
Xiahou Yuan laughed and said, "This time, thanks to General Huang, if it weren't for him, I would have to go back to Hanzhong to ask for help from Zi'an."
Chen Yang said with peace of mind: "It's good that Zhongquan is fine. If General Xiahou is inconvenient here, I can let Zilong take his place. You can go back to Hanzhong to rest for a few days."
Of course, Xiahou Yuan could not agree, and shook his head and said, "I'm fine. This time I was careless. I will never make a military order next time."
Chen Yang understood his thoughts: "Of course I believe in General Xiahou's strength, but I am just worried that you will be affected by Zhongquan's affairs. It's best if you have nothing to do now. By the way! I still remember one thing, you must not go to the mountain."
This is not the first time he has emphasized it.
There may be Xiahou Yuan, where he died.
Xiahou Yuan remembered it in his heart and nodded, "I will pay attention. Thank you Zi'an for coming to remind me from afar."
The two chatted for a while, and Chen Yang stayed in the army for a while before returning to Hanzhong.
There are only two thousand people in Hanzhong, and he, the chief general, cannot be away for a long time.
"General, the opposite mountain...Ma Chao took the opposite mountain!"
At this time, a soldier walked over anxiously and said.
Because the geographical environment of the mountain is very important, before confronting Dingjun Mountain, Cao's army took the lead in sending hundreds of people to occupy the top of the mountain.
However, not long after Chen Yang finished speaking his reminder, something really happened to the mountain.
Xiahou Yuan was stunned for a while and murmured to himself: "Zi'an, it's really amazing!"
