    Chapter 177 "The Return of Xu Huang"

    But despite being moved, General Xu Huang was not so impulsive. He knew that the retreating Shu soldiers must have some trick: but what kind of trick was it?

    Han Hao asked again: "General Xu?" Seeing Xu Huang looking at him, Han Hao pursed his lips and motioned Xu Huang to look at the soldiers around him who were excited to fight.  *1*1*

    Xu Huang ignored them and just said to a young general: "Open the camp door and let them in!"

    After that, Xu Huang loudly ordered: "Anyone who is good at speaking and rushing away will be killed!"

    "Yes!" The young general turned around and went to carry out the order.

    Suddenly a soldier shouted: "Look! Smoke¡ª¡ª"

    Following this gesture of shouting for soldiers, many soldiers saw black smoke rising from a place outside the camp, and at the same time, there was a strange hissing sound.

    "There are some here too!" Another soldier.

    "There's one here too!" a soldier shouted in the distance.

    At this time, Xu Huang also saw it. It was a big wooden box, no, a car made of wood, but now the wheels had been removed, and it was lying beside the fence outside the camp.  An iron pipe stretched out to the back. The iron pipe was emitting thick smoke and made a hissing sound from inside.

    Everyone is asking: "What is this? What is this thing left by the Shu soldiers for?"

    Xu Huang also found that the retreating Shu soldiers stopped at a distance of ten feet. They all turned around to face their camp, but they were all squatting down, and some were even lying on the cold ground.  All mounted generals and soldiers dismounted.  Only a few soldiers stood there holding on to the horse's reins.  They all stayed there quietly, as if waiting for something.

    Xu Huang immediately understood: gunpowder!  Yes, definitely gunpowder!  Just when he realized it, deafening sounds sounded one after another.

    "Boom!"

    "Boom!"

    ¡­¡­

    The sky seemed to fall down all of a sudden, and everything was black!  My ears can no longer hear, my eyes can no longer see, and I can't even breathe.  All that was sucked into his mouth was a strange, choking smell, and the earth seemed to be shaking.

    From the general Xu Huang to the ordinary soldiers, everyone lost their minds at this moment!  No matter it turns out to be a general on horseback or a soldier standing on the ground.  They were all thrown to the ground by this huge sound and violent vibration.

    First, the horse brayed, barking in panic, and then ran away.  Then the wounded soldiers wailed: "Oh!", "Help!"

    After that, the Shu soldiers shouted: "Charge!", "Kill!", "Surrender without killing!"

    Then Cao Bing, who was lying on the ground, woke up: "What happened?", "Where have I been?", "Why is there a lump of flesh on my face?", "Where are my legs? Why are both legs missing?"

    Xu Huang was the first to understand that the other party was setting off gunpowder, and also knew that the sound of gunpowder explosion would be extremely loud, so he was somewhat mentally prepared before the gunpowder exploded. However, the sound was also too loud, like thunder.  No, ten times louder than thunder.  The loud noise and vibration that he had never heard before also knocked him out, but he woke up earlier than others. When the Shu soldiers shouted, he also stood up and grabbed his big axe.  However, his horse ran away, and there was no one around him to stop the Shu soldiers.  Xu Huang looked at the Shu soldiers excitedly running in the distance.

    The three tiger generals Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan were all squatting not far away from each other. First they felt a vibration, followed by several loud noises. At the same time, a puff of smoke rose up, and countless hands and hands flew away from the smoke.  Feet, head, torso, and of course human organs such as blood, brain, intestines, and stomach.  There were countless pieces of wood, mud, and stones, and then the world fell silent.  The noise just now disappeared without a trace.

    The three of them looked at each other from a distance, and then stood up. Everything in front of them changed: the neat and strong fence was cut off by dozens of feet, and the only thing left in front of them was the tall camp gate.  Because this is the focus of contention between the two sides, the gunpowder cart cannot be put down.  The place where the fence used to be was covered with human bodies. They were all lying on the ground quietly, not knowing whether they were dead or not.  A layer of a mixture of human organs, soil and wood was spread over them.  They are a group of archers, spearmen and swordsmen. According to regulations, they all stand against the fence, always ready to deal with the attack of Shu soldiers.  So they bear the brunt of the gunpowder explosion.  Use your own body to contend with the shock wave of gunpowder.

    Zhao Yun raised the silver gun in his hand and shouted: "Charge!"

    Huang Zhong and Wei Yan took big steps without hesitation.  They didn't even ride the horse, but their captain dragged the horse in front of them, and they stepped on it.

    Countless soldiers shouted and shouted:He followed closely behind his commander and attacked the still demented Cao Jun.

    When the Shu soldiers entered Cao's camp without any resistance, Xu Huang also knew the current situation. He picked up Han Hao, who was still lying on the ground wiping his eyes next to him, shouted: "Retreat!", and pulled him again.  Li Dian, who had already stood up but was still confused, said: "Let's go first! Our troops are behind us!" Indeed, since this camp can accommodate 60,000 people, it is naturally very large. Now, blow it up here, knock it out, and blow up your mind.  After all, there were not many people there, and the soldiers behind who were far away from the explosion site were just surprised, not as serious as fainting.  As long as a general is there to lead them, these well-trained soldiers can immediately display their combat effectiveness.

    It¡¯s just that Xu Huang and others were in a very embarrassed state. Although they were a little far away from the Shu soldiers, the Shu soldiers rushing in front were riding horses and were much faster than them because the distance between them was getting closer and closer.  Xu Huang ran for a while and finally caught a horse that was still running around. He jumped up and hit the horse with the ax handle while saying to Li Dian and Han Hao: "Follow the horse after you find it. Xu will organize the team first"  Before he finished speaking, the horse had already carried him far away.

    Zhao Yun led his troops to sweep to the left, Huang Zhong led his troops to sweep to the right, and Wei Yan swept to the center to support both wings.  At the beginning, the Shu soldiers were in a deserted state. Except for a few mentally disturbed soldiers, almost no one could be killed. Most of them knelt down and surrendered before they woke up.

    Zhao Yun¡¯s capture of Li Dian was simply an inspection.  If Zhao Yun hadn't recognized him before, he would never have thought that this dark, dirty and swaying man was the general Li Dian. This guy stabbed himself at the mouth of Jiangzui during the Wulin Battle, and he almost died.  its hands.

    Li Dianren was a little confused. He was exhausted from chasing horses or running away from Shu soldiers. When he saw a large group of Shu soldiers coming on horseback, he suddenly lost the courage to fight.  I just parried a few times randomly.  Even at the peak of his fighting power, he couldn't defeat Zhao Yun, let alone now.  Zhao Yun first used his silver spear to easily pick out the spear in Li Dian's hand. It was unclear whether it was used as a weapon or a crutch.  Then he bent down, reached out and grabbed his belt, lifted him up, threw him back, and said, "Tie him up!" Li Dian became a prisoner of the Shu soldiers.

    Compared with Zhao Yun's ability to capture Li Dian alive, Wei Yan's ability to capture Han Hao alive was much more "difficult" because Han Hao was riding a horse, but the horse was a little disobedient and ran around.  Maybe it was because Crazy Horse was very powerful or because Wei Yan was too eager to catch someone alive, so after a lot of effort, he finally managed to round up the running Crazy Horse with the help of his men before he reached his destination.

    Huang Zhongze picked up a prisoner for nothing.  Because the seriously injured Le Jin was stunned by the gun and never woke up. If a young general under Huang Zhong hadn't said that this guy was still breathing, I'm afraid this unlucky Le Jin would have been trampled to death by the army, so it can also be said that this unlucky Le Jin was trampled to death by the army.  Le Jin is also lucky.  He was in a coma for three whole days before waking up. Of course, this is a story later.

    Seeing that the three generals were so lucky, E Huan and Wu Tu Gu were really unconvinced: "Fuck, why do people carry it like this? I killed fewer people than they did. Why can't I catch a big fish?"  "It's okay for the two of them to be dissatisfied. They only suffered from the poor Cao Jun. The two of them deliberately made trouble with Cao Jun and killed them wherever there were more Cao Jun. Those who were finally organized by Xu Huang were killed by these two perverts.  Everything was in disarray, Xu Huang was in front of them.  They were killing people from behind, and it didn't take long for their morale to be boosted by these two guys.  In this way, Xu Huang looks like an honest and pitiful runaway on the street, while E Huan and Wu Tu Gu are like big hooligans who are chasing after them. Xu Huang is hiding behind the pear vendor, and E Huan and Wu Tu Gu are hiding behind the pear vendor.  Wu Er, the hooligan, tore off the pears from the peddler; Xu Huang hid behind the egg vendor, and the second hooligan threw the eggs on the ground; Xu Huang became more and more guilty as he fled, while E Huan and Wu Tu Gu became more and more angry as they chased them, gnashing their teeth and howling.  He screamed that he must be beaten to death. Originally, Xu Huang was on his own territory.  Now it has become a lost dog.

    However, the situation finally improved after Xu Huang escaped into the rear camp.  Cao Jun here only heard a loud noise instead of thinking about it, and he was just surprised.  Although he was very puzzled when he saw Xu Huang running over with a pale face, he quickly protected Xu Huang in the circle.  After listening to Xu Huang's brief introduction and receiving Xu Huang's order to fight back, although he was a little scared, he still followed Xu Huang to fight against E Huan and Wu Tu Gu.  Although E Huan and Wu Tu Gu only have less than 500 people left with them, they are both masters who are not afraid of ghosts. They also know that a large force will come from behind, so they lead hundreds of people without hesitation.  He fought his way into Cao Cao's army of 10,000 men.

    Xu Huang was so anxious at this time, how could he have time to deal with these two perverts E Huan and Wu Tu Gu?  Even if he stays here and kills these two little carrot heads first, it won't help.  Therefore, he only left a thousand troops behind, ordering them to kill E Huan and Wu Tu Gu while at the same time containing the scattered troops. After gathering several hundred people like E Huan and Wu Tu Gu, he immediately followed.Come and support yourself.

    This time Xu Huang made another mistake: You thought you were doing something big, so you left hundreds of enemies behind. How could you deal with them with just a thousand people?  Although the number of Cao's troops is more than double that of the Shu soldiers here, do you know that there are few people in Cao's army who are honest from top to bottom?  Where can you fight to the death?  Therefore, E Huan, Wu Tu Gu and others became more and more brave as they fought, while Cao Cao's thousand soldiers became more and more timid as they fought. Needless to say, they were about to be captured themselves, not to mention taking in others.

    In this way, the entire camp was in chaos from front to back, left to right. It was true that there were enemies among us. In some places, the Shu soldiers had the upper hand, and in some places, the Cao army gained the upper hand.  Xu Huang led his 9,000 men from the rear camp to the middle again. Many panicked soldiers were accommodated on the way, and the number gradually expanded from the 9,000 before departure to 16,000.  It's just that there are thousands of people inside who are just making up the numbers and don't even dare to shout.

    Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others also encountered tough problems at this time.  After all, there are 60,000 elite Cao troops stationed in this camp. How can a few large firecrackers be intimidating?  After understanding what happened before, some soldiers began to fight independently under the command of their respective generals. There were a few hundred here and a few thousand there. When they saw the number of Shu soldiers, they turned around and ran away.  They slowly gathered together, and when they saw the Shu soldiers, they went up to them and slashed them.  Although these people did not cause any harm to Zhao Yun and others.  But it is not that easy to subdue them, at least it takes time.

    The advantage of disrupting the opponent's structure is that the enemy cannot form a fist to cause fatal danger to itself, which can ensure that one's side ultimately wins.  But the disadvantage is that the enemy cannot surrender under the command of the general at the same time.  You must disperse your team and deal with them one by one.  Now Shu soldiers are encountering this kind of trouble, both good and bad.  Therefore, when Xu Huang led an army of 16,000 people "suddenly" appeared in the middle of the camp, he was unable to gather enough troops to deal with them.  They were allowed to rush forward until they reached Wei Yan's horse, and then they stopped advancing.

    Wei Yan shouted: "General Xu Huang, now that Cao's army is gone, surrender!"

    Xu Huang didn¡¯t answer either.  Lift the ax and chop.  Wei Yan hurriedly raised his gun to meet him, and only heard a bang. Both of them felt their arms go numb. They both knew what the other was capable of, and they cheered up and fought hard.  Naturally, the soldiers under the two men began to fight, and the shouts came to mind at the same time. Attracted by these shouts, the soldiers from both sides gradually joined the battle group.

    Soon a Shu soldier came to report: "Report! General Huang Zhong is leading his troops towards here!"

    This soldier has not retreated yet.  A soldier from Cao's army also came over and shouted: "Report! General Xu, General Zhao Yun of Shu is coming here!"

    After hearing this news, the morale of Shu soldiers was greatly boosted, while the morale of Cao soldiers naturally dropped sharply. Some soldiers who were already hesitant or hesitant fled or simply surrendered.

    A young general rushed out from behind Xu Huang and slashed at Wei Yan with his sword.  He loudly said to Xu Huang: "General Xu, retreat quickly and leave the green mountains behind. Don't be afraid of losing" Before he finished speaking, one of Wei Yan's generals came over and cut the young general into two pieces.

    At this time, shouts of encouragement came from the left and right, and the shouts of E Huan, Wu Tu Gu and others came from behind.  Xu Huang was shocked: It¡¯s hard to face being surrounded.

    He raised his energy and struck a fierce blow with the axe, and took advantage of Wei Yan's gap to rush forward, while shouting: "Brothers, life or death depends on this one move, follow Xu and rush forward. If you rush over, you will live! Kill¡ª¡ª  !¡±

    Some people who were loyal to Cao Cao also took a breath.  Together with Xu Huang, they fought desperately towards Wei Yan's troops in front, and were hacked and killed in such a desperate manner.  A narrow road was finally opened up among the Shu soldiers. Only a little more than 3,000 Cao soldiers rushed out with Xu Huang. The other more than 10,000 people and the Cao soldiers who gradually gathered later were ruthlessly cut off: some people were killed.  , someone surrendered¡­.

    After rushing to the camp gate, the chasing Shu soldiers gradually became sparse, because there were still a large number of Cao troops inside that had not yet been conquered. These 3,000 troops were no longer attractive to the Shu soldiers, although there was Xu Huang among them.  .  What the Shu soldiers care about is to eliminate Cao Cao's strength to the greatest extent. A desperate general is no longer worth a few thousand soldiers.  What's more, the Shu soldiers must occupy and stabilize this camp now, because they also have to prepare to welcome Cao Cao's large army that may come to Wei Mi City after hearing the news.

    Seeing that the pursuers behind him were dwindling, Xu Huang also reined in his horse gently. Looking at the isolated camp gate, he felt heart-wrenching pain in his heart.  When I think about it, I feel scared: "How can I go to see the King of Wei? How can I have the nerve to go to the King of Wei?"

    At this time, a soldier shouted: "General Xu, there is still a car here that has not been blown up!"

    "Huh?" When several soldiers heard this, their faces turned pale with fright.

    When Xu Huang heard this, he felt sour in his heart: **, just in time, I was blown up to death, it¡¯s all over.

    He glanced at the three thousand dejected soldiers behind him, then looked at the soldiers still fighting in the distance, sighed, and jumped off.?, striding towards the gunpowder cart with its wheels removed.  The original yellow-brown surface has now been stained red with human blood, and is covered with dirt and broken wood. If the soldier hadn't fallen while walking on it, it would have been hard to find that it had not been blown up.  Now it is like a monster with its mouth wide open, waiting there quietly, laughing at the timid soldiers around it.

    Xu Huang took a few steps forward and kicked it hard with his feet. The kick was a little weak at first, but then it became more solid. I really thought that it would smash it now and smash itself into a pulp.  Unfortunately it just didn't respond.  Xu Huang felt puzzled, so he simply raised his ax and slashed at it. The strong box was chopped open by the axe, and there was actually a layer of box inside.  When Xu Huang raised the axe, many soldiers looked at him in horror. They did not feel relieved until he lifted the axe again after it fell.

    Xu Huang ordered: "Bring it with you!"

    Seeing that the soldiers around him did not dare to move, Xu Huang glanced at these soldiers contemptuously, thrust the ax into a soldier's hand, and said viciously: "Take it!"

    "Yesyes, General" the soldier fearfully took over this sharp ax that had killed countless people.

    Xu Huang bent down, hugged it with both hands and tried it first. When he saw that it was a little loose, he shouted: "Get up!"

    The entire car was lifted off the ground by him!  Just as he was about to put it on his shoulders, a young general next to him said: "General, let's do it!"

    Hearing this, Xu Huang put it down without looking at the others. He got on the horse and said, "Take it to Wei Mi City!"

    Later, Xu Huang took this wheelless gunpowder cart and 3,000 people and spent ten days to escape the pursuit of Shu soldiers. He overcame unimaginable difficulties, especially the severe cold, and traveled to countless places before returning.  Hemi City.  By the time they returned to Wei Mi City, there were less than 200 people left among the three thousand.

    Upon hearing that Xu Huang had returned, Cao Cao was so excited that he led all the civil and military officials out of the city to welcome him. He held Xu Huang, who was kneeling on the ice, tightly in his arms, and kept saying: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!"  "

    This battle ended with a complete victory for the Shu troops led by Liu Jia. The 60,000 elite Cao troops in the village were almost completely wiped out, and Liu Jia's army reached the foot of Wei Mi City.  Should Cao Cao stay or withdraw?
