Chapter 35 Yingchuan Danfu
"Lord, when Liu Bei's army has arrived, stop attacking the city as soon as possible and prepare for war!" Xun You, who was beside him, heard this and hurriedly said.
"Zi Xiao is well aware of the changes in the eight-door golden lock array. He didn't expect to be defeated by Liu Bei so easily. It seems that there are capable people in the Xuzhou army!" Cao Shen sighed, and then waved a weak hand to stop attacking the city, and then asked, "How about Guan Yu's reinforcements in the west?"
Xun You was stunned, but he still told the truth: "General Zilian just sent someone to send a message, saying that Guan Yu was blocked by him and could not move forward."
"That's good!" Cao Jian was also a little relieved, and then ordered the three armies to set up their positions and prepare to fight to the death with Liu Bei's army.
"Oh, did Cao Bing retreat?" Guan Hai, who was on the head of Pei Guocheng, suddenly found that Cao Bing had stopped attacking. Instead, he retreated for several miles to face the east, as if he was ready to meet something.
"General Guan, it should be the Lord's reinforcements." Jian Yong took a look and immediately came to such a conclusion. I guess it's the same. Come on, send the order, let the soldiers seize the time to rest, and wait for the Lord's reinforcements to arrive and attack Cao!" Although Guan Hai has not learned any military tactics, he has fought a lot, and there is still some common sense. At present, the defenders did not unload their armor, but directly found a place to lie down and sleep at the head of the city. In the past two days, they were under great mental and physical pressure. They were already exhausted and soon fell asleep one after another.
"Lord, do you want to fight with Liu Bei?" In Cao's army, Guo Jia came to Cao Qian's side and asked.
"This is the end of the matter, I have to fight." Cao said in a low voice. Guo Jiamoran, he put forward the idea of entering Xuzhou at the beginning, but he didn't expect Guan Hai to be so difficult to deal with, and he didn't expect that Cao Ren was defeated after a day.
"It seems that we still underestimate Liu Bei! It's not easy to build Xuzhou to this point in just a few years!" As if his heart was clear, Cao Qian sighed at this time, and Guo Jia also nodded secretly.
In a short time, a black line gradually appeared in the east, and then gradually became thicker and closer. Finally, at a distance of about a mile between the two sides, the army stopped.
"Brother Xuande, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Cao Qian saw that the Chinese army was alone in armor and immediately hung two long swords. It was Liu Bei who hurried forward to say hello. This scene still needs to be explained.
"Brother Meng De, I didn't expect that you and I would have to go to the battlefield to have a chance to meet!" Liu Bei still had something to say. While talking, he drove a few steps forward.
"Hey hey, Xuande, I still have 100,000 troops here. Do you really want to fight with me?" Cao Shen pointed to the huge army behind him, which was a little threatening. The meaning is that I have a lot of money. You'd better not push too hard, otherwise you can't afford to lose.
Unexpectedly, Liu Bei smiled and said directly, "If you want to fight, just fight!" Then fight back to the battle. Seeing this, Cao Jian knew that this battle was inevitable, and now he was also returning to the battle quickly. The soldiers of both sides began to launch one after another to prepare for the war.
"Oh, why don't you fight?" Zhao Feng was rubbing his hands and ready to fight one-on-one. Unexpectedly, the two bosses were ready to fight directly. This time, he was really caught off guard.
"Kill!" I don't know which soldier roared first, and then nearly 200,000 people under the city of Peiguo began to roar, and the two sides rushed up to prepare for the battle. At this time, the role of a general with excellent command or brave combat is often more important than that of a counselor. As for the strategy, it is difficult to come up with any strategy unless this kind of encounter in the plains is planned in advance.
How many is this? Zhao Feng didn't know that he only knew that he was in the chaos now, with only a few hundred guards around him, and then rushed around with him as the core. Ordinary Cao soldiers were directly stabbed to death by him. Over time, he felt that the killing action had turned into a mechanical poke and then pulled back. The long gun in his hand has been changed several times, and every time it was taken from the people killed by him.
"Old Cao, take your life!" A thunderous roar, and then a fierce general rowed through the waves like a fast boat and killed directly at Cao Yan's Chinese army. The soldiers who tried to intercept him on the way were either killed or split in half by him. It's not someone else, it's Zhang Fei.
"The Prime Minister quickly avoids!" Seeing that Zhang Fei was coming aggressively, Guo Jia hurriedly said. I won't retreat. I have a hundred thousand troops, one hundred thousand. There are only a few people in Zhang Fei, so he beat me back like this. Where is my face? Cao Wei looked at Zhang Fei, who was getting closer and closer, and gritted his teeth.
When Xu Chu, who was beside Cao Yan, heard the words, he was immediately about to crack. General Zihe, you protect the master, and I'll kill Zhang Fei!" After roaring, Xu Chu turned over, led his team of tiger guards, and met Zhang Fei and the Bai'er elite soldiers led by him.
This Baier elite soldier was trained by Chen Dao from the first elite Danyang elite soldiers since he defected to Liu Bei. Each of them can at least be one by one. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is comparable to Gao Shun's trapped camp. Even Zhao Feng sighed that he could not train such elite soldiers. Ping said that Li was specially responsible for Liu Bei's safety. In history, Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Xun's company. After Chen Dao only led 400 Bai's elite soldiers, he killed tens of thousands of Wu troops in Ma'anshan. This time, in order to attack Cao's middle army, Liu Bei also gave Zhang Fei three thousand of the five thousand Bai's elite soldiers in one go, leaving only 2,000 yuan from Chen to lead to protect the Chinese army. He really spent a lot of money.
And this tiger guard army is not an ordinary elite soldier. It is Xu Chu and Cao Chun, the two people of Cao's battalion who are best at training. They are selected from Cao Yan's Qingzhou army and carefully trained. Although Zhao Feng fooled several yellow scarves to Liu Bei one after another, the habitual surname in history is still strong, and the largest yellow scarves in Qingzhou were still collected by Cao Qian. The 300,000 Qingzhou army is gone, but there are still 200,000. The elites of the Tiger Guard Army and even the Qingzhou soldiers may not be as good as Baier's elite soldiers in terms of combat effectiveness, but they are still above the elite soldiers of Danyang. What's more, there are only 3,000 Baier's elite soldiers, but the Tiger Guard has 10,000, and there are also 5,000 people engaged in the battle today. The next one is easy to kill!
Zhang Fei fought against Xu Chu, and Bai E's elite soldiers fought against the Tiger Guard. Driven by this arrow figure, the soldiers on both sides are fighting for their lives. Xuzhou soldiers are the elite of the world, and Cao Jian's Yanzhou army did not eat dry food. For a while, the killing was inexplicable. Cao Jian and Liu Bei also cheered in person. For a moment, the two sides were powerful and the killing became more crazy.
It was already afternoon when the two sides fought. At this time, it was autumn, and it was dark early. The melee between the two sides was only two hours. The moon was already in the sky and the stars were dotted, but more than 100,000 people on the ground were fighting inexorable.
At this time, Guan Hai also organized 5,000 elites, who suddenly came out of Peiguo City and directly penetrated into the rear of Cao's army. Cao Shenwan didn't expect that Guan Hai would dare to fight, and the situation was a little chaotic. General Song, see if you can shoot Cao to death!" Zhao Feng also led a team of people not far from Cao Qian, but several shocks could no longer fight forward. Zhao Feng knew that he was not good at bows and arrows. Suddenly, he saw that Song Xian happened to kill him. He expected that he was born in the north and should be good at riding and shooting, so he was invited to take action.
Sure enough, Song Xian looked at Cao Yan, drew the distance, and shouted, "Protect me!" Dozens of soldiers around him came forward to protect him. Song Xian took the opportunity to pull out an arrow and shot straight at Cao Qian.
"Be careful, Prime Minister!" Cao Chun found this arrow halfway. Almost by instinct, Cao Chun waved a knife and cut the arrow. The arrow was half a foot away, and the arrow that was originally aimed at Cao's throat hit his right shoulder.
"Ah!" Cao Qian shouted and fell off the horse. Song Xian was regretful, but he heard that Zhao Feng had shouted, "Cao Qian is dead!" Cao is dead!" More and more people shouted, and Song Xian himself understood and shouted together.
When the soldiers of Cao's army, who were fighting fiercely, heard this, they turned back to check the middle army of their own army, but they saw that Cao Jian under the flag had disappeared, leaving only his war horse alone there, and they suddenly panicked. I don't know who took the lead first. In short, more and more Cao soldiers began to give up the battle and chose to run back. The prime minister is dead. What else do we have to fight? This is what they think.
"Chase!" Seeing that Cao's army began to be defeated, Liu Bei immediately ordered to pursue. Although Cao Shen quickly turned over again to stabilize the army, the military array was already in chaos. Seeing that he could not do anything, Cao had to order the soldiers to retreat in an orderly manner. Liu Bei chased and killed for a while. Seeing that Cao Qian had returned to his position, he did not take much for himself at the moment. After chasing for more than ten miles, he stopped.
In the melee between the two sides in this battle, the Xuzhou army suffered more than 24,000 casualties, but Cao's army also killed nearly 40,000. Since Liu Bei joined the army, this battle has actually been the most tragic. After the war, Liu Bei collected the army and listened to Lu Su's suggestion to set up two villages under the city of Peiguo. He defended one village by himself, Zhang Fei guarded one village, and fought with the city to prevent Cao.
At the same time, in a camp more than 30 miles away from the battlefield, the atmosphere is relatively dull. Guan Yu, who was sitting in the middle of the big tent, looked gloomy and almost turned black. In the morning, they came to rescue Pei, but met Cao Hong's army on a narrow road. He thought he could be captured, but he didn't expect Cao Hongbu's next position. He led the army to kill several times, but he also returned in no way. On the contrary, he lost many sergeants, and even Pei Yuanshao was shot.
"Second General, there is a Confucian scholar outside who asks for a meeting, claiming that he can break the array of Cao's army." At this time, a sentry came to report.
"Huh?" Guan Yu was also stunned. Invite him in!" Although he has always despised the scholar, now he is blocked from advancing and retreating here. Hearing that someone can break the other party's array, Guan Yu is also overjoyed. He actually used a word of invitation for the first time.
Not long after, the sentry brought in a Confucian student, but he was in his twenties. Yingchuan Danfu, meet General Guan!" Come and be polite.
"Sir, you don't need to be polite. How can you break this battle?" Guan Yu saw that he was a young man and thought that the other party might not have any ability, and his tone couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
As if he was aware of Guan Yu's tone, Shan Fu smiled and said, "Jand is not talented, but Cao Jun's eight golden lock arrays still have a way to break him."
