    While they were talking, another scout came to report that Zhang Liao was leading troops to attack.

    Xiahou Dun shouted angrily: "This Liao Tai has to deceive others!"

    The furious Xiahou Dun immediately issued an order to ignore Zhang Liao's harassment in front of the camp and let Zhang Liao go if he wanted to set fire to it.  All the soldiers in each camp guarded the camp to put out the fire.  Xiahou Dun then ordered Cao Hong to lead 20,000 troops from the rear camp and divide the troops into ten groups to outflank Zhang Liao's advance.  Xiahou Dun himself personally led 30,000 troops, who were also divided into ten groups of soldiers and horses from the front camp and went out of the stronghold to pursue and block Zhang Liao's retreat.  Be sure to surround and destroy Zhang Liao's small force.

    Zhang Liao led three hundred cavalrymen and fired a barrage of rockets. Then he saw a sentry in front of them coming to intercept them.  Zhang Liao laughed and led his troops to circle to the right, preparing to bypass the right wing of the troops coming to intercept.

    But Zhang Liao had just led his troops to run less than a mile when he saw another troop of soldiers and horses in the distance heading towards him to intercept.

    Zhang Liao smiled secretly: These Cao soldiers really have a long memory.  It seemed that they had deployed multiple troops in front to surround themselves.  Since there is no way forward, you can go back where you came from.

    So Zhang Liao led his troops in a beautiful arc, turned around and ran towards the original road.  However, Zhang Liao still ran away this time. Not long after, he saw a group of Cao soldiers appearing in the distance again, intending to intercept his troops.

    Zhang Liao was a little angry that these Cao soldiers were so ruthless that they did not leave a way for people to survive.  And at this time, even the figures of Cao Bing were looming on the left and right wings.  Obviously, Cao's soldiers have almost completed the siege and are preparing to close in the middle.

    This time Zhang Liao was really anxious.  Zhang Liao shouted loudly: "Come with me!" After saying this, Zhang Liao turned his horse's head and rushed towards the place that was about to close due east.

    Three hundred cavalry encircling 50,000 infantrymen is definitely an unfair war.  However, war is never truly fair.  Fighting with more and less is the most correct choice for every commander.  Just like Zhang Liao would use the advantage of cavalry to be much faster than infantry to attack repeatedly.  These are the needs of war.

    Therefore, Zhang Liao would never complain about Cao Jun bullying the minority with more troops.  But Zhang Liao, who was immersed in the situation, would never sit back and die.

    With Zhang Liao's roar, the bloody spirit of the three hundred cavalrymen was also driven by Zhang Liao.  Even God seemed to be afraid of Zhang Liao's evil spirit, and the sky was darkened for a while.

    Of course, it is impossible for God to cooperate with Zhang Liao like this.  However, tens of thousands of Cao's troops rushed to fill the sky with dust.  But it made the originally red sun dim.  The gentle breeze stirred up the dim yellow dust, and a chilling atmosphere naturally filled the entire battlefield.  This can only be said to be Zhang Liao's timing.

    Three hundred cavalry is not much.  But the sound of three hundred fast horses galloping is also heart-stirring.  Especially the blowing dust added endless momentum to the galloping of the three hundred cavalry.

    At this time, the group of troops blocking Zhang Liao was two thousand troops led by Cao Hong's deputy general Liu Xun.  Liu Xun is also holding back a lot of anger now.  Everyone should be able to understand the feeling of a person who had not had a good rest all night and finally saw the annoying person who had been disturbing him all night.  Especially since there were 2,000 people on Liu Xun's side but only 300 on the other side, his desire for revenge was even more unstoppable.

    However, before Liu Xun came out to challenge and scold Zhang Liao's troops who were 800 steps away, they had already released the first batch of crossbow arrows according to the combat procedures of the Youzhou cavalry.  It went through without giving Liu Xun's men any chance to dodge.  Three hundred crossbow arrows were enough to knock down four to five hundred Cao soldiers.  And this was a huge blow to Cao's army, which was extremely tired after not sleeping all night.

    This made all Liu Xun's soldiers think that Youzhou's cavalry was not only fast but also known as the best army in the world.  The morale of Liu Xun's remaining 1,500 to 600 soldiers was immediately low.

    And just when the morale of Liu Xun's troops was low.  Zhang Liao's troops were already 250 steps away.  At this time, all Zhang Liao's cavalry had already mounted their crossbows.  Everyone prepared their bows and arrows for shooting.

    Two hundred and fifty steps is the distance of the first round of bow and arrow shooting by the Youzhou cavalry.  With Zhang Liao taking the lead in shooting.  Three hundred eagle-feather arrows cast a cold light of three hundred points and covered Cao Bing's head.  Another hundred or ten people fell.

    This time Liu Xun's troops were even more chaotic.  Although these infantrymen under Cao Hong are also well-trained, their equipment is nothing more than commoners.  Attack with bows and arrows.  It doesn't have a very good defensive effect.  and.  This frustration of being beaten but unable to fight back made their military morale even more confusing.  The other person only needs to do this a few more times.  It's all over for the few people on my side.  At this time, everyone is not taking care of their own lives.  What are you waiting for?

    Liu?Seeing this scene, he shouted angrily: "Anyone who escapes from the battle will be killed without mercy! If you don't want to die, come to me as soon as possible. As soon as we get close, they only have 300 people but we have 50,000. Why are you afraid of him?"

    Liu Xun's team was much more stable at that time.  These Cao soldiers were not calmed down by Liu Xun's words of "kill without mercy".  But because of these words, all these Cao soldiers remembered that they were born in military families, and it didn't matter if they died.  If it affects your parents, wife, and children, it will be a mess.  Moreover, this group of Cao soldiers only numbered 300 people when they thought about it.  But on his side, there were 50,000 troops surrounding him.  As long as you persist for a while while waiting for others, it is a great achievement.  The rewards are generous.  This group of Cao soldiers also roared and rushed forward.

    Both sides were rushing forward crazily. There was only 250 steps between them. Even with the superb cavalry and shooting of Zhang Liao's troops, there was only a chance of three arrows.  Usually after three arrows, Zhang Liao's troops should retreat to create distance so that they can strike again with bows and arrows.  But.  Now that we are surrounded on all sides, such tactics cannot be allowed to be implemented.

    However, the opportunity of these three arrows also created great convenience for Zhang Liao's troops.  Those Cao soldiers who surrounded Zhang Liao in order to avoid the rain of arrows, reduce the damage of bows and arrows, and expand the interception area were no longer in a dense formation.  The formation became much sparser.

    And this formation is definitely the favorite of the Youzhou Cavalry.  After three arrows, all the cavalrymen hung up their bows and arrows.  The carbine was drawn.

    These carbines all have a two-meter-long steel barrel with a half-meter-long steel tip.  There was an empty blood groove in the middle of the two sides of the spear tip.  Just like a small sword.  There is also a twenty centimeter long gun stop at the end of the gun tip connected to the gun shaft to prevent the gun tip from sinking too deep.

    The cavalry that followed Zhang Liao's rapid advance with carbines in hand became a nightmare for Liu Xun's team.

    Zhang Liao, who was leading the way, wielded a broadsword, and within a radius of one foot, there were encounters with death.  No one can slow down Zhang Liao's horse.  , Secondly, the quick thrust of Zhang Liao's cavalry also made a big hole, and the gun blocked the impact and knocked away those who were stabbed by the carbine, making it easier to pull out the carbine and thrust again.  In the end, although the armor equipped by Zhang Liao's cavalry was not the full-body armor of Youzhou's strong cavalry, the light armor that protected vital parts could not be easily broken by Liu Xun's swords and guns.

    Zhang Liao led the three hundred cavalrymen like a sharp knife through a piece of window paper and broke through the blockade of Liu Xun's troops.  Only the corpses of Cao's soldiers were left everywhere, which made these remaining Cao soldiers feel terrified.

    Watching Zhang Liao go away, Liu Xun cursed angrily: "Courageless rats. Do you dare to compete with me?"

    At this time, Zhang Liao, who was in a good mood after breaking out of the siege, laughed loudly at his men after hearing this and said: "Brothers, would you like to challenge him with me again so that they can see the majesty of our Youzhou athletes?"

    Three hundred athletes shouted in unison: "Yes! Yes! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

    Zhang Liao laughed and led his three hundred cavalry to charge back again.  This time Zhang Liao's target was Liu Xun.  When Zhang Liao arrived, Liu Xun approached Zhang Liao and shouted loudly: "Zhang Wenyuan from Youzhou is here to take your dog's life." After that.  Just swing the knife and get the flower.  Novel.bsp;This Liao's degree is really as true as words.  Don't look at how Liu Xun has been bluffing for a long time. Compared with Zhang Liao, he is really far behind.  Although Liu Xun was provocative, he was already prepared, but he only had time to raise his gun.  Zhang Liao shot Ren Duo and cut him in half.

    Those Cao soldiers were so happy when they saw Liu Xun dead.  The general died in battle.  If they run away now, they won't be considered deserters.  So the remaining Cao soldiers, who numbered a thousand or so, dispersed in a rush.  They all ran away.

    Zhang Liao then laughed and led his three hundred cavalry to the outside of the encirclement.  Not long after, Zhang Liao had already led three hundred cavalry to the outside of Xiahou Dun's encirclement. Zhang Liao was like a dragon entering the sea.  The essence of the Youzhou Rangers was thoroughly demonstrated in Zhang Liao's hands.

    High mobility.  Accompanied by powerful long-range strikes.  Xiahou Dun and the fifty thousand people were severely punished.  Until Zhang Liao's men ran out of bows and arrows.  Zhang Liao also led his men to pick up scattered troops outside Xiahou Dun and attacked them several times.  Peel the huge Xiahou Dun apple into several thin layers.  Only then did he happily lead his subordinates to retreat.

    This battle made Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong completely angry.  Also completely heartbroken.  The opponent only had 300 people, but his own army was reduced by 10,000 people.  Moreover, an unknown amount of materials for building the camp were lost.  If the opponent's military strength is equal to our own, how can our own troops have any chance of winning?

    At this time, Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong realized how correct Cao Cao's instructions were when they parted.  You must know that Liu Ming's troops are obviously much more than his own.  Attack on your own side.  Definitely no chance of winning.  But the other party only sent such a small number of troops to harass him, which must be what Cao Cao inferred.  The other party is just putting a little pressure on themselves.

    Xiahou Dun and Cao Hongyi discussed that although the other party was just occupying Sili symbolically as the prime minister had inferred, their side could never move forward so slowly.  If the other party comes here several times, I'm afraid that my 100,000 troops are not enough for them to walk around.  At that time, people will look down upon themselves.  Be ruthless enough to swallow yourself up.  The Prime Minister's deployment was all wasted.

    So.  Xiahou Dun ordered Cao Hong to immediately lead the vanguard battalion to attack Hulao Pass overnight.  As long as Hulao Pass is taken down, I and others will have a fortress to stay in.  The traffic between Sili and Yanzhou was blocked.

    With Cao Hong working hard on the eighty-mile journey, Cao Hong and his army had already arrived when it got dark.  After arriving, Cao Honggang ordered to set up camp and go down to the stronghold.  Cao Hong discovered an unusual phenomenon.

    It was pitch black above the city head of Hulao Pass, not even a lantern or a torch.  air of gloominess.  But under the moonlight, I saw that the suspension bridge was not pulled up at all.

    Cao Hong's heart suddenly thumped: If there is an ambush, retreat quickly!

    Cao Hong's reaction was really trained by Zhang Liao's attack on the camp.  I thought about it.  He immediately shouted out: "Get out of here quickly!"

    Hulk's troops with 30,000 forward camps ran back to the back.  But running.  Cao Hong didn't see any ambush troops coming out either.  There was no movement at Hulao Pass.

    Cao Hong was a little confused and ordered: "Stop. The whole army stops."

    As a result, after Cao Hong had tidied up his troops, nothing happened.

    Cao Hong saw that just waiting was not an option, so Cao Hong ordered a small group of people to go to Hulao Pass to see what was going on. He led a large group of people so that he could make a correct judgment.

    The small group of people came to the city gate of Hulao Pass cautiously and waited for a while.  I saw no one moving at the top of the city.  These people took courage and crossed the suspension bridge.  Pushed the gate of Hulao Pass.

    Unexpectedly, the gate of Hulao Pass opened with a creak.  But just this squeak didn't frighten these Cao soldiers to death.  The little leader who leads the team is still a bit timid.  He kicked several other soldiers and walked inside while shouting.

    The street is quiet.  There was not a single ghost figure, nor was there any human figure above the city.  Even the few doors that were occasionally kicked open were empty.  Obviously this is an empty city.

    These Cao soldiers happily ran back and reported to Cao Hong.  Cao Hong still didn't believe it at first.  But Cao Hong couldn't believe that the empty Hulao Pass was there.  Cao Hong then thought: That's right.  Since the other side only sends so few troops to harass their own troops.  This should be like what the Prime Minister said as long as the opponent's troops will retreat as soon as their troops arrive. You only need to accept it after the opponent's troops retreat.

    So Cao Hong laughed and said: "Children, go to the city to rest."

    Thirty thousand vanguard troops filed into the city under Cao Hong's shout.  Cao Hong walked in the middle and thought proudly: I will camp and rest in Hulao Pass tonight.  This Hulao Pass is a dangerous pass. Zhang Liao, who is constantly killing me, should not be able to burn my camp.  I can finally sleep peacefully for a night.

    Cao Hong thought proudly as he sent soldiers to occupy the strategic position of Hulao Pass.  After Zhang Liao's continuous camp attack training and setting up sentry posts, it became Cao Hong's instinctive reaction.

    6 As Cao Hong's troops continued to pour into Hulao Pass, Cao Hong's troops began to patrol the city walls of Hulao Pass.  Cao Hong's men also began to search the streets in Hulao Pass.

    But these actions have no other meaning except to prove that Hulao Pass is really an empty city.

    Finally, all Cao Hong's troops entered Hulao Pass.  Cao Hong himself also came to the city guard's mansion in Hulao Pass.  But just when Cao Hong was about to take a rest, something happened.  (To be continued.
