    Gao Shun pushed harder, and the long stick immediately penetrated Chun Yudao's entire neck, and Chun Yudao's body immediately fell to the ground.  As soon as Chunyu Dao died, Cao's soldiers all around became more interested and fled frantically.

    The eight hundred soldiers trapped in the camp were like tigers pouncing on each other, biting the Cao soldiers who were as weak as lambs crazily and quickly.

    Xiahou Yuan saw that the army was in chaos and the camp was on fire. He couldn't care less and immediately ordered all the generals to evacuate the camp.  With the support of a group of soldiers, Xun You first rushed out of the camp despite the fierce fire.  At this moment, Hu Che'er, who was fighting, noticed Xun You's figure. He immediately roared and raised his hammers to intercept and kill Xun You.  Xun You was so frightened that he quickly drew his horse and fled.  Hu Che'er rushed into the formation of Cao Jun's troops who were helping to resist. His hammers danced tightly, and he saw the heads of countless Cao Jun soldiers exploded under the hammer blows.  Hu Che'er quickly killed him and chased after Xun You. Xun You was extremely panicked. At this time, all the Cao soldiers around him were like headless flies, running around and bumping into each other. No one could care about Xun You's safety.  Seeing that Hu Che'er was about to kill him, there was a sudden sound of bow strings. Hu Che'er was frightened and moved away.  A shadowless arrow just missed his back.  Hu Che'er broke out in a cold sweat. He turned around and saw Xia Houyuan.  The so-called enemies were extremely jealous when they met. As soon as Hu Che'er saw Xia Houyuan, he immediately abandoned Xun You and patted his horse to kill him.  Xia Houyuan raised his gun to meet him and fought with Hu Che'er.

    At this time, Cao's soldiers and horses from all departments rushed out of the sea of ????fire that had turned into a raging fire. Countless people died in the stronghold due to trampling on each other.  Those who were unable to escape were burned to death by the fire in large numbers.  The chaos of Cao's army was dizzying. The soldiers of Cao's army threw away their helmets and armor, and ran away in panic.  Gao Shun led the trapped camp to kill one area, and happened to see Xia Houyuan and Hu Che'er fighting. In an instant, Gao Shun's whole body seemed to be ignited with flames, and he shouted hysterically.

    ¡°Fire!!!!!¡±

    "Fire! Fire!! Fire!!!"

    Gao Shun and the eight hundred fallen camp soldiers seemed to have merged into one body, turning into a fiercely burning flame, and Gao Shun, who was killed at the front, was the hottest outer flame in this huge flame.  I saw Gao Shun riding his horse and swinging his spear to kill fiercely. Any Cao soldiers who stood in front of Gao Shun were often killed instantly by Gao Shun before they could recover.  After the remaining 800 soldiers from the trapped camp followed Gao Shun, steel spears formed a spear formation, like an untouchable moving death zone, killing countless Cao soldiers.  Gao Shun led eight hundred soldiers from the trapped camp to rush forward, killing and scattering Cao's troops.

    While Xia Houyuan was fighting with Hu Che'er, he heard the terrifying sound of fighting in his ears. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Gao Shun was leading an elite army of soldiers and horses towards him.  Xia Houyuan was anxious and wanted to run away.  But Hu Che'er was unwilling to give up, and his pair of sledgehammers danced fast and fiercely. Xia Houyuan secretly complained, and saw Gao Shunyu gradually approaching.  Xia Houyuan was afraid of being surrounded and killed, and the crisis of his life made Xia Houyuan burst out with unlimited potential.

    "kill!!!"

    Xia Houyuan roared violently, and his spear suddenly burst out with an all-encompassing sharp edge, stabbing towards Hu Che'er's face.  Hu Che'er's bell-like evil eyes immediately widened, as if he saw the spear in Xia Houyuan's hand turning into a crawling black wolf.

    The extremely terrifying crisis suddenly occurred in his heart, and Hu Cheer quickly ran away to escape.  Xia Houyuan's gun was as fast as a lightning bolt. The gun grazed the right side of Hu Che'er's helmet. The huge momentum immediately caused Hu Che'er to lose his momentum and fall off his horse.

    At this moment, a roar that made Xia Houyuan's heart skip a beat exploded in Xia Houyuan's ears like thunder.

    "Xia! Hou! Miao! Cai! Na! Life! Come!"

    It turned out that Gao Shun had led eight hundred soldiers trapped in the camp who were as powerful as heavenly soldiers, killed the chaotic tide of Cao's army, and suddenly arrived.  Xia Houyuan's heart tightened, and he turned his head and saw that although Gao Shun was still trapped in the camp, there were only more than 800 people, but the momentum given to him was as if he was facing thousands of troops.

    Xia Houyuan subconsciously flicked his whip, reined in his horse and ran away.  Gao Shunhu's eyes were red, and he shouted out the word "gust" in a stern voice. The entire army and horses in the trapped camp immediately increased in speed, as if the strong wind was coming, and they were turbulent rapidly.

    Xia Houyuan ignored the chaotic soldiers and horses around him and fled desperately.  Gao Shun was furious and pursued him fiercely. He grabbed a spear in the midst of the chaos, shouted loudly, and swung the spear violently. The gun flew forward and stabbed Xia Houyuan in the back.  Xia Houyuan felt the hurricane coming from behind, so he subconsciously dodged and narrowly avoided it.  Seeing that he had not succeeded, Gao Shun led his troops to pursue him again.

    Xia Houyuan fled for several miles and rushed to the Yihe Bridge.  Suddenly, a group of ambush troops rushed out from the front, and the leader was Zhang Xiu.  At the same time, soldiers from the camp led by Gao Shun will also come to kill him.  When Bingzhou soldiers arrived, Zhang Xiu ordered his soldiers and horses to shoot at Xia Houyuan with random arrows.  Xia Houyuan fought hard with his spear, and most of the arrows fell to the ground. However, Zheng Nai's arrows were so dense that Xia Houyuan was hit by several arrows, and his blood spurted out.  Seeing that Xia Houyuan was about to be swallowed up by the crowd of Bingzhou soldiers.  summerHou Yuan shouted hysterically on the bridge and angrily charged into the north of the bridge. They clashed in the formation, but was shot down by a concealed crossbow. Xia Houyuan fell to the ground and was forced to join the state army.  Zhang Xiu and Gao Shun were like two man-eating tigers, trying to kill Xia Houyuan.  In the critical moment, suddenly a Biao army came to kill from the northwest corner, but Xun You integrated the remaining troops and came to rescue them.

    Xun You commanded the troops and horses, fought desperately, and narrowly saved Xia Houyuan. The general rode his horse with Xia Houyuan, turned over and fought his way through the bloody road, and walked northwest.

    When Zhang Xiu and Gao Shun saw that Xia Houyuan had escaped, they quickly led their troops to cover him up.  At this time, several more generals from Cao's army gathered several troops and horses and rushed to resist.  Zhang Xiu and Gao Shun were surrounded and resisted for a while, unable to escape.  By the time they were killed one after another, Xia Houyuan's figure had already disappeared without a trace.

    Seeing this, Gao Shun and Zhang Xiu could only lead troops to kill Cao's soldiers in a roundabout way. At this time, most of Xiahou Yuan's troops could not escape, and were killed by Bingzhou soldiers. Their corpses were scattered all over the field, and their blood flowed into canals.

    The raging fire burned until noon the next day before it was extinguished.  After last night's battle, more than 20,000 Cao soldiers died because they trampled on each other, were burned by fire, and were killed by Bingzhou.  Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu, and Hu Che'er's troops captured about 7,000 Cao soldiers.

    Xia Houyuan fled all the way, integrating the remaining troops and fled near the border of Jizhou. He gathered about 16,000 remaining troops, and most of the rest were lost.

    Xia Houyuan was defeated and about to die. He rushed to a river and looked at the river. He saw that he was in a shabby state, his armor was uneven, his hair was disheveled, and he was in a very embarrassed state.  Infinite sadness suddenly arose in Xia Houyuan's heart.  Xia Houyuan looked back at the troops and horses, and saw that the majestic tiger and wolf divisions of the past were now like a group of bereaved dogs, with most of the 50,000 troops lost.

    Xia Houyuan couldn't help but feel angry. Hot blood surged from his abdomen to his chest, and he shouted miserably.

    "I hate it!!! I followed the Prime Minister to conquer the world and fought nearly a hundred battles. Unexpectedly, today I am in such a mess!!! How can I not avenge today's shame!!! I will return to Jizhou to gather my troops again and swear to be the same as Gao Boyi."  Fight to the death!"

    After Xia Houyuan finished shouting, blood spurted out of his mouth, and then he fell off his horse and passed out.  All the soldiers were shocked and rushed to see Xia Houyuan.  Xun You saw that Xia Houyuan was seriously injured and suffered such a blow, so he ordered his soldiers to escort Xia Houyuan back to Jizhou overnight.  On the way, when he was about to judge his troops, the judges were frightened when they learned that their army was defeated and their troops and horses were severely damaged. They followed the remaining troops back to Jizhou.

    Afterwards, after Xun You and Shen Pei discussed it, they compiled a letter to apologize to Cao Cao for annexing the state and damaging the generals and troops.  At the same time, Cao Cao still needs to wait for Cao Cao to decide whether the Bingzhou War will continue.

    In the battle of Bingzhou, Cao's army was outnumbered. Xia Houyuan and Xun You were both outstanding men in the world. It should be obvious that even if they failed to break through Bingzhou's army, it would be absolutely impossible for them to suffer such a defeat.  However, the war situation was ever-changing. Xu Shu seized the opportunity of Bingzhou Fengsha and made good use of it to lay out a big plan.  Moreover, Bingzhou soldiers were familiar with the terrain, so they happened to be able to take advantage of the damage caused by the wind and sand.

    Xia Houyuan and Xun You did not expect that Xu Shu would take advantage of the wind and sand, so their defeat was inevitable.  Under Xu Shu's ingenious plan, Gao Shun repelled Xiahou Yuan's army. Seeing that the danger in Taiyuan City was over, the army and the people were happy and celebrated.

    And at the same time as the Bingzhou War.  Within the territory of Dongchuan, Zhang Ren gathered 80,000 troops in Anhan, hoping to capture the territory of Dongchuan for Xichuan.  Everything is settled now.  Zhang Ren divided his army into three parts, and sent General Ma Chao to lead an army of 20,000 as the vanguard army, Generals Yan Yan and Li Yan to lead an army of 30,000 as the middle army, and Zhang Ren personally led an army of 20,000 as the rear army. At the same time, Liu Zhang had already sent Fa Zheng.  For this reason, he made suggestions for the Dongchuan War.  Fa Zheng was the military advisor and lived in the rear with Zhang Ren. He was also responsible for food, grass and baggage.  With 10,000 troops left, Zhang Ren was led by Li Hui and guarded Anhan.

    Seventy thousand Xichuan soldiers and horses filled the mountains and fields, overwhelming the sky and the earth, and charged towards Jinzhu with great momentum.  The Wenjun scouts found out and quickly reported to Zhao Yun in Jinzhu City.  Zhao Yun heard that Zhang Ren had raised troops to kill him, so he quickly consulted with Cheng Gongying and Zhang Song.

    "That army has many troops, and its strength is three times that of our army. At present, the reinforcements from Yong and Liang Prefectures have not arrived, how can we resist them?"

    Cheng Gongying and Zhang Song looked at each other. After a while of eye contact, Zhang Song spoke first.

    "The enemy's army is strong and ours is weak. It is not a good idea to take the initiative and use the weak to attack the strong. General Zhao should use deep trenches of earth fortifications, fortify the city with hard crossbows, and take advantage of the terrain to compete with them!"

    Zhao Yun's face darkened after hearing this. If Zhang Song said this, he would be too conservative.  If Zhang Ren senses that his army is wary and attacks with force and siege, the morale of his army will inevitably drop sharply and many mishaps will occur.

    Zhao Yun was hesitating. At this time, Cheng Gongying seemed to notice Zhao Yun's thoughts and opened his mouth.

    "Although Zhang Zhonglang's words are reasonable, our army is already weak, and morale is particularly crucial for a military strategist to win. If we are too conservative, our army's morale will be greatly reduced."

    &nbspAfter Zhang Song heard this, he frowned slightly and felt that what Cheng Gongying said was true, so he asked doubtfully.

    "If this is the case, does the military advisor have any strategies to deal with it?"

    After Zhang Song finished speaking, Zhao Yun's expression tightened and he looked at Cheng Gongying with extremely expectant eyes.  Cheng Gongying smiled brilliantly and spoke.

    "According to the spies' report, Ma Mengqi is the vanguard general of Xichuan. This man is narrow-minded and will seek revenge! He has a blood feud with me in the northwest, and he cannot avenge him. Seeing the chaos in the northwest this time, he will be eager to take revenge. He has been urging troops forward for days, hoping to get revenge.  Arrive at Jinzhu as soon as possible and fight. General Zhao can take advantage of this man's eagerness for revenge, and win first!"

    Cheng Gongying was very familiar with Ma Chao's temperament, so he immediately gave Zhao Yun a plan. Zhao Yun was overjoyed, and Zhang Song on the side also laughed and agreed.  Zhao Yun then followed Cheng Gongying and made some arrangements first.

    But he said that since Ma Chao learned that Wen Han was ambushed in Jingzhou and his life was at stake, he was very excited. He asked Zhang Ren for days to lead his army to fight in Dongchuan.  At that time, Liu Zhang had not yet decided to send troops to Dongchuan, so Zhang Ren kept suppressing Ma Chao's bloody spirit and told him not to act rashly.  Ma Chao lives under someone else's roof. He dares to be angry but dare not speak out. He can only worry secretly.  Finally, when Liu Zhang's order was issued, Ma Chao came to ask for orders again. Seeing his high fighting spirit, Zhang Ren followed his wish and asked him to lead an army to advance Jinzhu as a vanguard.  However, Zhang Ren was afraid that Ma Chao was eager for revenge and missed important events. He had to explain to Ma Chao several times before leaving, so he had to proceed with caution.  Ma Chao promised with all his heart, but he didn't remember it.

    Ma Chao led 20,000 vanguard soldiers and horses, and traveled all night. Now they have reached the realm of Jinzhu.  Ma Chao saw that the soldiers had been traveling for many days and were tired and the horses were sleepy. He ordered the soldiers to rest in the mountains and forests to recharge their batteries and gain strength for the battle.

    Just when the 20,000 Xichuan soldiers and horses were preparing to take a rest, suddenly at the top of the mountain ahead, there was a heavy dust storm, and the sound of horse hooves fighting broke out one after another.  Ma Chao immediately mounted his horse and ordered his soldiers to prepare for battle.

    While Xichuan soldiers and horses were preparing, a powerful general wearing a white robe and silver armor, carrying a bright silver spear, and riding a divine white horse came flying over with about 6,000 cavalry.
