Chapter 148 (1/2)
”Look at the gun!” Just as XiahouDun was shocked, a thunder like roar was heard, and a long gun was stabbed directly at XiahouDun with lightning speed.
Who was Xia Houdun? At a glance, we could see that this gun was not in the same order as those of the soldiers who had been fighting with him. This was the real general of the enemy, who immediately took up the spirit of twelve points and waved his gun to meet him.
”Dang!”
There was a clear crash, and the two guns were fired at the same time, and XiahouDun clearly felt that the strength of the gun was not much less than that of himself. At this time, the soldiers around Xia Houdun had already retreated to look for other defenders to fight. In front of Xia Houdun, a general came slowly with a gun in his hand. His face was dark, and there was a long scar on his left cheek. It was Ling Cao, the leader of the Dragon general camp.
Ling Cao's eyes narrowed slightly and looked at XiahouDun and asked coldly, ”XiahouDun?”
Xia Hou Dun tightly grasped the steel gun in his hands, nodded to Ling Cao and asked, ”who are you?”
Ling Cao danced the spear in his hand and directly put on an offensive posture. He said, ”Ling Cao, leader of the Dragon general camp of the new Dongwu army!”
”Ling Cao?” Xia Houdun remembered the name, and from his posture alone, we could see that Ling Cao was not much worse than himself. A military general who has never heard of such a powerful force. What about Ganning, taishici, xuchu and other famous generals of the eastern Wu? What's more, there is an invincible dragon General Chen Ren on top of them! Xia Houdun could not imagine the strength of Dongwu. Originally he was determined to survive with Pengcheng, but now XiahouDun is ready to keep his life. He must return to Cao Cao alive and tell him all this.
However, Ling Cao didn't think of Xia Houdun's small calculation. Although the shot just showed that Xia Houdun's strength was better than himself, as the leader of the Dragon general camp, Ling Cao was not so simple as to admit defeat.
”Look at the gun!” Ling Cao shouts again, his spear stabs at Xia Houdun like a dragon. Xia Houdun's spear is one of those very strong. Facing Ling Cao's spear, he simply blows the gun against each other. The two spears collide again, and even a spark is made in the dark. Soon, these isolated sparks become a large area, at the same time, dense percussion sound also sounded. In just such a blink of an eye, the two sides met more than ten times.
Ling Cao's expression seems more excited, even the scar on his left cheek is slightly reddish. On the contrary, Xia Houdun, who had already retreated in his heart, was becoming more and more dignified. There were more and more shouts and screams around him. XiahouDun did not think that the screams would be made by the soldiers of the other side. After seeing the soldiers' strength, XiahouDun had no expectation of his own soldiers. Obviously, in a short period of time, I don't want to defeat Ling Cao, who is more and more brave in Vietnam. It seems that he has to strike the battle and escape. Otherwise, when the other side has completely eliminated the defenders, he will not be able to escape even if he has great ability.
Xia Houdun, who had made up his mind, suddenly shot out his gun, but only made a false stab at Ling, and turned around and left. How did Ling Cao think that a general like Xia Houdun would shrink back in the face of the battle. He was stunned, and immediately ran after him with his gun. However, he was so stunned that he was mixed into the fighting crowd by Xia Houdun. With the dim night, he lost his sight in a blink of an eye. Ling Cao was so angry that he took out his anger at Cao Jun around him.
With Xia Houdun's escape, Cao's army had begun to show defeat. There was no way to deal with the number of people, the number of soldiers, and the quality of individual soldiers. Before dawn, those Cao troops had been killed and defeated. However, this time, it was different from the last time Zhao Yun captured Huaiyin City. Taking Pengcheng meant taking Xuzhou, and Ling Cao did not take care of the fleeing Cao army. He ordered to open the gate to welcome Chen Ren's army into the city.
In October of the fifth year of Chuping, the Han Dynasty, which had just turned into tranquility, was once again shaken.
First of all, a hundred thousand new army led by Chen Ren, the governor of the eastern Wu Dynasty, marched into Xuzhou and captured several counties in Xuzhou. This not only reminds people of the Dragon general who is known as the first general in the world, but also shows the power of the Jiangdong army, which has been silent for a year. In this war, Chen Ren's calculation of the damage to the new army was negligible. After losing Pengcheng, Cao Cao simply recalled his Garrison in Xiaopei and xiapi, which was tantamount to giving up the whole Xuzhou.
