Chapter 42 Are You Devils?!
The Xiahou brothers relied on the mobility of their light cavalry to appear and disappear like ghosts, striking and running away.
The Yellow Turban camp, which stretched for dozens of miles, was thrown into chaos.

The Yellow Turban soldiers were running around "putting out fires", exhausted and in a mess.

Sima Ju, the commander of the Grand Canal, finally lost his patience.

He roared,
The vanguard Wu Ba's cavalry was sent out, vowing to teach those court lackeys a lesson.

The night is as dark as ink and the moonlight is as bright as water.

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan stood side by side, gazing at the surging flames in the distance in the dark night.

Those flames were the torches held by the Yellow Turban cavalry, and they were particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

"Miaocai, act according to the plan!" Xiahou Dun said in a deep voice.

Before Xiahou Dun finished speaking, Xiahou Yuan could no longer hold back and led his troops to rush out.

He led his soldiers and gradually approached the enemy.

They drew arrows from their quivers, drew their bows, and shot at the cavalry in the distance!
The sound of breaking air tore through the night sky, and the arrow hidden in the darkness exploded into a burst of blood in the fire a hundred steps away!
"Fuck the government troops! We finally caught you!!!" Wu Ba's veins popped up and he immediately called up 3,000 cavalrymen from his own army and rushed towards the direction where the arrows came from!

After firing a wave of arrows, Xiahou Yuan immediately gathered his cavalry and retreated while fighting in the northwest direction.

Le Jin led four thousand soldiers and ambushed quietly on the hillsides on both sides of the valley.

The night wind in the Wenshui River Valley, mixed with a hint of damp chill, condensed on the armor of these soldiers.

"Boom!"

The sound of horse hooves like thunder suddenly rang out, coming from far away and getting closer.

When the first ray of firelight illuminated the valley entrance, Le Jin also raised his right hand and whispered, "Hold steady and wait until all the enemy troops enter the valley!"

In front of them were two thousand cavalrymen of Cao's army, who were the first to rush into the valley.

Behind them were Wu Ba's cavalrymen who were pursuing them relentlessly. They followed closely behind and plunged into the valley!
But soon after Wu Ba entered the valley, he suddenly woke up: "Why are there no insects chirping in this valley? Oh no, there's an ambush!!!"

Seeing that Wu Ba's cavalry had only entered halfway, they were about to retreat.

Le Jin had no choice but to launch an ambush in advance and shouted:
"Archers, shoot!!"

"Rolling logs and rolling stones, release!"

As the order was given, huge rolling logs wrapped in gravel came roaring down at the Yellow Turban cavalry on the hillsides on both sides of the valley.

The sound of vibrating bowstrings and the screams of the Yellow Turban Army merged into one!
The Yellow Turban cavalry who entered the valley were hit head-on and were thrown to the ground.

The confused crowd of people and horses rushed around in the narrow valley like headless flies, huddled together and trampled on each other.

The mouth of the valley,
The infantry led by Cao Cao and Cao Ang rushed out from both sides and surrounded them step by step!

In the end, they succeeded in completely blocking the Yellow Turban cavalry's retreat.

The Xiahou brothers, who had previously run into the valley, led their cavalry back and launched a fierce attack from the front.

The Yellow Turban cavalry was attacked from both sides and was immediately in a desperate situation.

"Surrender! I surrender... uh..." Wu Ba just shouted, but before he could shout "surrender" for the second time, Xiahou Yuan shot an arrow accurately into his mouth, and the remaining sound stopped abruptly.

After the death of their main general, the remaining Yellow Turban Army lost their fighting spirit and dismounted and surrendered.

"Hahahaha! Everything mine is mine!!!" Xiahou Yuan looked at the war horses filling the valley, his eyes shining with excitement.

……

Outside the Yellow Turban camp.

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan successfully led away the only cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army.

Without the only cavalry that could pose a threat to them, it was now time for Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan to perform!
"Qingyuan, you burn the east camp and I will burn the west camp. We will meet in front of Sima Ju's central army camp in half an hour!" Zhao Yun said to Xiahou Lan.

Xia Houlan licked his chapped lips and replied with a smile, "Yes, sir!"

After saying this, he whipped his horse whip fiercely and led his cavalry, charging towards the Yellow Turban Army's eastern camp like a whirlwind.

The Yellow Turban soldiers and their families thought the government troops had finally stopped.

When they were about to rest again,

But suddenly, I heard the sound of horse hooves like thunder.

And this time,
Before they could get up and reorganize their defense,
One burning torch after another was thrown onto the top of their tents!
The fire broke out suddenly and engulfed everything in an instant.

Tents, clothes, food, flesh...all combustible things were reduced to ashes in the raging fire.

"Fire! Fire!" The Yellow Turban soldiers shouted in horror and fled in all directions.

Someone carried a basin and fetched water from the lake to put out the fire.

However, the fire spread so quickly that by the time they came back with water, the entire camp was already on fire.

The fire was too fierce and difficult to extinguish, which was obviously abnormal.

This is because it is affected by Xi Zhicai's [Xuanshu Planning (Gold)] passive ability.

"Fire Attack" has been given additional special effects of stronger burning damage and being difficult to extinguish!

With the help of [Xuan Shu Planning], the fire spread rapidly, enveloping the entire camp in a sea of ​​fire.

The Yellow Turban Army fled in all directions, with cries, shouts, and prayers mixed together, and they fell into complete chaos.

Half an hour later, Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan's cavalry successfully met in front of Sima Ju's central army camp in the north.

In the camp, the central army's banner embroidered with the word "Sima" was clearly visible under the firelight!
Sima Ju had obviously anticipated that someone might launch a surprise attack on his camp.

So he had already gathered his personal guards, deployed his troops, and prepared to meet the enemy.

Sima Ju had 20,000 personal guards, all of whom were well-equipped and battle-hardened elites.

Zhao Yun observed for a long time but did not find any obvious flaws. In addition, his vision was obstructed at night. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally chose to give up the attack.

Although Xia Houlan was unwilling, he knew that this was the wisest choice.

The enemy can't escape anyway, so why rush and make our brothers pay a heavy price?

Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan left Sima Ju's central camp, but Sima Ju did not dare to relax and maintained the formation until dawn.

At the moment of dawn, the Yellow Turban Army felt as if they had escaped death.

It was as if I had spent the whole night in hell fighting with evil spirits.
As the day finally dawns,
They finally returned to the human world!

Little did they know that their real nightmare had just begun!
After Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan cleaned up the battlefield and gathered their war horses, they came to see Cao Cao with great satisfaction.

Seeing the two men's delighted faces, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile and said, "Generals, have you made great gains this time?"

"Meng De, look!" Xiahou Dun grinned and raised Wu Ba's head, which was still bleeding.

Cao Cao immediately said with disgust: "Take it away."

At this time, Xiahou Yuan, beaming with joy, boasted, "In this battle, my elder brother and I killed a thousand enemies, captured five hundred, and seized countless war horses!"

Cao Cao clapped his hands and laughed, "Excellent! You two have performed great service. You will be rewarded handsomely upon your return!"

At this time, Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan also returned to the outside of the valley and reported to Cao Cao what happened last night.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Zilong is able to judge the situation and know when to advance and when to retreat. This is rare and precious!"

Xi Zhicai also nodded and said: "Being able to advance and retreat is a true magical weapon! Zilong has the potential to be a famous general."

Zhao Yun felt a little embarrassed by the praise, but he still bowed and said, "My lord, military advisor, Sima Ju still has 20,000 elite soldiers. We can't let him go easily!"

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Pass the order down. Rest for half an hour. After half an hour, break through the Yellow Turban camp!"
