Chapter 063: Xiahou Bamu
The hidden arrow was at a tricky angle and hit Xiahou Dun's left eye. The pain caused his body to tilt and he could not bring down the raised knife.
Damn it, is there a chance to counterattack?
Long Xiang was ecstatic when he saw this, and a national curse came out of his heart unconsciously. He decisively put back the handle of the gun, preparing to switch from defense to offense and step forward to finish off the attack.
Injuring someone with an arrow in the back, but not practicing martial ethics?
I'm sorry, but the principle is to work hard on the battlefield to survive.
"Ah, it hurts me so much."
Xiahou Dun gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, reluctantly pressing the handle of the knife down hard. At this time, he planned to kill the enemy.
Long Xiang didn't expect the opponent to be so tyrannical, but the movements of his hands had changed, and it was too late to block him with his gun, so he twisted his body and stabbed out.
Using offense instead of defense, luckily Long Xiang was slightly faster and the spear tip poked Xiahou Dun's right shoulder.
Xiahou Dun was so painful that he dropped his weapon and leaned back on his horse.
Long Xiang was overjoyed and planned to step forward to finish the attack, but he saw several Cao soldiers rushing towards him like mad dogs.
It turns out that when Xiahou Dun was hit by an arrow and shouted, Cao's soldiers fighting nearby immediately got rid of their opponents and gathered around the general in unison. It was only natural to protect the leader with his own soldiers.
"Quickly retreat."
Long Xiang saw that there was no hope of a follow-up attack, so he seized the opportunity of Cao's soldiers to protect him and immediately retreated into the forest.
Although they had the terrain advantage, they suffered more casualties than Cao's army. They lost more than 20 people in a short period of time because the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides could not be made up.
"Hel me on the horse, I will kill them all."
Xiahou Dun was helped up, and he was still cursing and wanted to fight.
The general beside him quickly reminded: "General, your eyes..."
This reminder made Xiahou Dun instantly feel pain. Just touching the arrow shaft lightly, his whole head felt like it was going to explode.
Seeing that Xiahou Dun didn't answer, the man continued to advise: "The number of thieves is unknown. If we pursue them rashly, we may encounter misfortune. It is better to send scouts to follow them first and wait for the arrival of General Han's rear army before encircling and suppressing them..."
"good."
Xiahou Dun burst out a word from between his teeth.
"The sky has suddenly darkened, and it looks like it will rain soon. How about we help you outside the forest and find a place to bandage it?" General Pi made another suggestion.
Xiahou Dun had an arrow in his left eye, and the pain kept beating at the nerves in his brain. He closed his right eye and looked away to no avail, and he couldn't hear General Pi's suggestions.
"No one can defeat me, not even you."
Xiahou Dun suddenly grabbed the arrow shaft, gritted his teeth and pulled it out hard, and a bloody eyeball was pulled out. The 'you' in the words just now should be the pain that troubled him.
Xiahou Dun's crazy behavior frightened all the soldiers.
"General, you..."
"Your eyes."
"The general is bleeding, please think of a way..."
...
The injured Xiahou Dun saw the eyeballs on his hands that looked like 'skewers', and once again made an incomprehensible move. He stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it alive.
"Father's sperm and mother's blood cannot be discarded..."
After Xiahou Dun swallowed his eyeballs, he continued these heroic words, and then his remaining right eye suddenly turned black, and he fainted from the pain.
After a while, the leaves swayed and the autumn wind blew.
The leaves are pattering, and the raindrops are countless.
Long Xiang protected Qiao Rui while walking, and asked Tang Hui to count the number of people. It only took half an hour to lose a lot of people. At this time, the blood in his chest calmed down, and he secretly felt sorry for them.
"Yunqi, there are twenty-six people who have not returned to the team, including Cao Xing, Cao Cao..." Tang Hui looked serious after counting.
Qiao Rui, who was lying on the horse's neck, said angrily: "You shouldn't have saved me just now..."
"General, don't worry, we who survived will be responsible for the families of our brothers who died in the battle."
Long Xiang answered sonorously and forcefully, and the soldiers under his command also echoed in unison.
"Everyone, please don't make any noise and be careful not to expose yourself..."
Tang Wei was speaking to stop him when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hoofbeats from behind. He thought it was Cao Cao's cavalry chasing him, but when he turned around, he found that it was Cao Xing, one of his own men.
When Cao Xing rode up to catch up, Long Xiang asked seriously: "Are you injured? Why did it take you so long to catch up?"
Cao Xing explained: "The last general just stayed a little longer and shot a Cao army scout on the way."
"That cold arrow just now..." Long Xiang stopped talking.
"It's exactly what the last general said. That guy is really not a human being. He actually swallowed his own eyeballs alive..."
Cao Xing almost vomited when he thought about the scene just now. He had been hiding in a hidden position and firing cold arrows.
Because Long Xiang withdrew his troops, he didn't have time to leave, so he lurked in place for a while. When Cao Bing escorted Xiahou Dun out of the woods, Cao Xing grabbed an ownerless war horse and left.
Although Xiahou Dun did not report his name, Long Xiang also guessed the identity of his opponent through the act of swallowing eyeballs alive. Is the plot of "you swallowed eyeballs" written in the DNA?
"Thank you for your help with arrows just now."
Long Xiang cupped his fists at Cao Xing and thanked him. He said in his heart that Long Xiang was riding alone to retreat Zhang Fei, and now Cao Xing was hurting Xia Hou with a secret arrow. We all have a bright future.
Cao Xing responded sheepishly, "I don't dare to be the last general. I have to rely on Quhou to block this person, otherwise I won't have a chance..."
When the two were being polite, Tang Wei wiped his face and interrupted.
"The rain is getting heavier and heavier. I don't know when it will stop. The clouds are rising. Which way should we go?"
Long Xiang looked at the sky and sighed: "The autumn rain is continuous. Once it starts falling, it is difficult to stop. This has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that rain can cover up traces, making it more difficult for Cao Jun to pursue.
The disadvantage is that General Qiao was injured by an arrow, and continued rain will worsen the wound.
I have to find a place to take shelter from the rain, remove the arrow from the general and bandage the wound, or I should continue heading north..."
"Going north? Shouldn't we turn to the west and then south? Going north is getting farther and farther." Tang Hui was confused.
"Before we broke out, I studied the map carefully. There are fewer villages and towns in the northwest of Qixian County, but there are relatively more towns in the north. Now that General Qiao has been hit by an arrow and there is rain, we must find a doctor to give him medicine, otherwise the minor illness will turn into a serious disease and it will be troublesome.
Already..."
As soon as Long Xiang finished speaking, Qiao Rui, who was weak next to him, suddenly started coughing.
"Ahem, Yunqi doesn't need to worry about it...but me, you can escape on your own as planned, Xiahou Dun will not stop..." Qiao Rui persuaded weakly.
"General, don't think too much. We will go back together as soon as we come out. Your family is still waiting in Shouchun."
After Long Xiang comforted him, he asked curiously: "By the way, General, where are your guards? Where are Li Guards?"
"The killing last night was dark, and Li Tun was nowhere to be seen until dawn. They might have all died in the battle... Ahem... Yunqi will become a great weapon sooner or later. Now you need to take a detour with me, so why not abandon me on the side of the road?
To fend for itself..."
Seeing that Qiao Rui repeatedly begged for death, even Tang Yu couldn't stand it. He led Qiao Rui's horse while shouting: "General, don't say Yun Qi disagrees, we can't do it, so you can just follow it, young master."
say."
"I..."
Qiao Rui still wanted to argue, but she felt more and more tired.
At this time, Long Xiang added: "General, there is no need to be burdened. The further north we go, the more unexpected we become. Cao Bing could not have imagined it."
When it rains, night comes earlier.
