Chapter 3267 Spear and Shield

Xiahou Dun was not without preparations for retreat. When he was still controlling Jinyang, he secretly sent some soldiers to transport supplies in the Taihang Mountain Trail in case of emergency needs.

But what he never expected was that when he really needed these materials, all the materials that had finally been transported to the mountain pass were gone!

It only leaves some empty or destroyed ruins of the camp.

Xiahou Dun was almost crazy.

He knew that he was advancing a hundred miles away and going deep into the army alone, so once he became a tired army, he would definitely not fight for a long time. So he made plans before the Battle of Jinyang. As long as he stayed for three months to half a year, he would look for opportunities to break through. With the camps of mountain roads, he was confident that he would not let the cavalry find any good opportunities, so he would involve the troops under Fei Qian and create better offensive opportunities for Cao Cao.

But Xiahou Dun really didn't expect that he not only suffered a devastating blow in Jinyang, but also encountered such a strange thing on this Taihang Mountain Trail!

"The Lord, I've seen it all..." The guard whispered beside Xiahou Dun, "There is no sign of fighting, there is no such thing as... This is abnormal, very abnormal...

Even if you are really attacked by the cavalry and horses, there will be some fighting and resistance, and then there will be traces left in the camp. Even if there are wild dogs, vultures and other scavengers coming, there will be no traces.

Xiahou Dun was so worried that his head hurt. Even if he left some food and grass, he could support them for a longer time...

Why is it gone?

However, there is not much time for Xiahou Dun to think about why such changes occur. He must solve the problem of food. Otherwise, not to mention the remaining more than a hundred personal guards, even he himself will lose his life.

"Have the person sent to Shexian has not replied yet?"

Xiahou Dun asked.

The guard shook his head.

Xiahou Dun's face turned a little darker again.

"The Lord...we are now..." The guards didn't finish their words, but everyone knew what it meant.

The horse meat has been eaten.

Connecting to Xiahou Dun's own war horse.

Everyone is a infantryman.

But the road is still long and the county is still far away.

『…Go to the back,』 Xiahou Dun had a gloomy face and a low voice,『Searching for some horse meat... and bring those injured...』

The guard was a little confused at the beginning, but he soon understood and immediately widened his eyes.

Now these people are Xiahou Dun's troops!

It is precisely because of the faction that when the Cao army soldiers mutinyed before, these talents stood on Xiahou Dun's side.

But now...

What does the division mean to the generals?

Meaning everything.

Just as later feudal dynasties often said that the people were the cornerstones of the dynasty, the current tribes of the Eastern Han Dynasty were also the cornerstones of the generals. They not only provided military support, but also symbols of their power and status.

The number of corps determines the power of the generals in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and sometimes even can influence the political situation of the dynasty, especially when centralization is weak. Because these corps are often associated with the land owned by the general, the general also indirectly controls the land and labor through the control corps, maintains the internal stability of his own territory, and is used to suppress rebellions and maintain order.

Therefore, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, when recruiting troops, the general always liked to pat his chest, saying that he only gave birth to...

Cough cough cough, as long as you perform well, the general will come to retire.

Now Xiahou Dun said that he never lie or breaks his promise, because from the beginning, Xiahou Dun did not say who raised whom.

As for the faction who mistakenly think that the retirement subject is them, can Xiahou Dun blame him?

No contract was signed.

Even if you take a step back, what if you sign a contract?

No matter what he wrote in black and white, what can I do if I say I don’t recognize him?

Just like the constitution of a capitalist country also stipulates that private property is inviolable, but whose private property is protected? Who will implement it?

The personal soldiers looked at Xiahou Dun almost spitting out fire, as if they were trying to eat people. They stopped saying anything, and answered in a low voice, then greeted some people, either carrying or taking the injured soldiers to the rear.

After a while, the soldiers came back with some fresh meat.

It is said to be horse meat.

It is passed by the professional test of personal soldiers and is horse meat.

Add some wild vegetables picked around the area and cooked a large pot of vegetables.

There was a pot or a bowl, so I put it in a helmet and brought it to Xiahou Dun.

Xiahou Dun was silent for a while, then raised his helmet and ate it.

After Xiahou Dun finished eating, everyone ate silently.

have eaten.

Anyway, it's not the first time I've eaten horse meat.

But this time the horse meat is indeed a bit different.

The taste is in your heart.

...

...

The sudden change broke the silence of Xiahou Dun and his group.

After eating horse meat, although he had the energy to move forward, he seemed to have lost something. Whether it was Xiahou Dun or other soldiers of the troops, he stopped talking, and even the slightest complaints before were gone.

If there is no change, silence may continue to remain silent until permanent.

But now, silence is broken.

It was broken by sudden external forces!

People shouted and howled everywhere!

In the mountain road, it was as noisy as if it was blowing up.

However, Xiahou Dun, who was in it, still seemed difficult to understand why the situation turned into what it was now.

They encountered an attack.

Yan Rou attacked with a few people.

There was basically no big difficulty in Yan Rou conquering Shexian.

Because Cui Jun finished all the things he should have done.

In order to escape from Jinyang, Cui Jun did not bring much supplies along the way, so all his supplements were vaining Xiahou's flag...

The strict class system in Shandong's military system makes it difficult for subordinates and it is unlikely that they will question their superiors. Even if they think there is something wrong with the order, they will still be executed more often.

After all, Shandong is constantly demanding, executing, executing, executing, executing in many cases.

If it cannot be executed, it will be dismissed on the spot.

This one-size-fits-all phenomenon has profoundly affected every corner of Shandong.

What are the specific reasons for the policy or instructions that are difficult to be implemented? In fact, all the officials in the upper court know this. But with just one order or one sentence, they can be implemented. Why do you have to spend more time, more energy, and more sweat?

Is it useful when the upper head is cut with one piece of cake and then ask the lower head not to be cut with it?

Therefore, when Cui Jun held the banner and raised various orders with obvious problems, he was still executed. If he didn't execute it, he would be convicted and executed on the spot. Even if he knew it was wrong, he would just say "simple and crude" afterwards, and "next time" will be done.

Of course everyone knows how to choose.

So when Xiahou Dun fled, there were only empty supply camps along the way.

Then Xiahou Dun sent the soldiers who reported to Shexian County, which naturally became Yan Rou's guide "beacon" and, well, perhaps also Xiahou Dun's "near lamp"...

When Yan Rou and his men rushed towards Xiahou Dun, the Xiahou Dun army, who should have been intercepted desperately, had no idea why it scattered everywhere and did not have much fighting spirit!

You should know that these are the teams that Xiahou Dun personally recruited and trained!

Among the many Cao army soldiers, the troops who can become generals of Xiahou Dun have at least some skills, but now...

At this moment, Xiahou Dun had no time to think too much. The enemy was rushing in front of him, so he could only fight hard!

Screaming, screaming, spreading loess smoke and dust.

Splashing blood, tilted figures.

Xiahou Dun's personal guard blocked the front and was thrust on his head and neck by arrows flying out of the smoke and dust. The blood splashed out everywhere, staining Xiahou Dun's head, face and body.

The blood is hot, but it is easy to cool.

『Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Capturing the thief chief! It's the first achievement!"

『Catch him! Don't let him run away!』

This sound comes from several different people, but the target is the same.

In a blink of an eye, Yan Rou and his men rushed into Xiahou Dun's last line of defense in the smoke and dust.

Almost from the first moment, it was the most direct and cruel collision.

Such fighting on the battlefield cannot be called the beauty of martial arts, only two words, life or death.

The one who lay down died, and the one who stood still lived.

Yan Rou swept away several messy swords and guns, and then suddenly hit the shield formation of Xiahou Dun's personal guards in front of him.

"boom!"

The battle between spear and shield!

Wood chips fly everywhere!
