Chapter 562: Cao Cao Recovers Yanzhou
Song Xian's body was stunned, and the corners of his mouth immediately overflowed with red blood, but he just laughed and screamed, and slashed Dian Wei's armor, although this strength was weak, but he also cut the rope connecting the armor, revealing a piece of Dian Wei's skin, those spearmen saw that there was an opportunity, and immediately shouted and stabbed at Dian Wei, Dian Wei drew the iron halberd, pushed Song Xian away and dodged on the spot, looking at the spearmen who were in the air and Song Xian who almost fainted: "I underestimate you too much, do you want to fight with me with your life?"
"What's the matter?" Song Xian didn't care about his injuries this time, he glanced to the right, and saw that Wei Xu's situation was similar to his own, and Xu Chu had a deep cut on his back, and he was bleeding all over his body, but he was still fighting to the death with Xu Chu. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He glanced sideways at Song Xian, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Dian Wei looked at Song Xian, who couldn't be called his opponent at all, in front of him, suspiciously, and scolded angrily: "Guy who doesn't measure himself, do you think you are a hero of the world?"
"I'm not a hero of the world, but I don't want to be a coward who is despised by others!" Song Xian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "What do you think when faced with everyone's doubts and contempt? What will you do? Find all kinds of reasons for yourself to evade, prevaricate, and deceive yourself? Or bravely stand up and take responsibility? Do you choose to be a coward for a lifetime? Or do you choose to be a hero for a moment? Dian Wei, you have innate divine power, and you can charge into battle with impunity, but what about me? What about a person with mediocre qualifications? Don't you have the right and qualification to fight for your dreams? Today I just want to prove myself with this knife and this life in my hand! I, Song Xian, will not always bring shame to my lord, but more glory, and will make my lord feel proud of me! Therefore, I want you to appreciate the fighting spirit contained in this knife and this life today!"
Saying that, Song Xian didn't know where the strength came from, and rushed towards Dian Wei again.
"I have to admit that in a way, I've lost to you with mediocre qualifications. Dian Wei muttered to himself, but soon danced the weapon in his hand again, "But I still have to kill you, see the power of my cross slash!" After that, I saw Dian Wei's double halberds intersect and slam heavily on the ground in front of him, and in an instant, earth and stones flew wildly, and a cross-shaped wave of qi was faintly seen surging straight towards Song Xian.
Song Xian knew that he was invincible, but he still closed his eyes and waved his knife to meet him, only to hear a loud bang, Song Xian only felt that the feeling of suffocation in his chest just now suddenly disappeared, he opened his eyes and only saw the dust flying in his eyes, is he already dead?
The dust faded away, and there was only one arrow in front of him, two deep scratches in front and behind of the arrow.
Such a domineering and aggressive archery can be called unparalleled in the world regardless of strength, speed, and crosshair, right?
The Lord is here!
Song Xian turned around and looked back, Lu Buzheng was rushing over with more than 10,000 men and horses, and he didn't know when.
"Lord!" Song Xian muttered.
"Why are you here, has Ximen been lost?" Lu Bu's voice was still as sharp as ever, but it seemed to be a little different.
Song Xian said: "No, the West Gate is now guarded by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun!"
Lu Bu said angrily: "Why don't you let Wen Yuan come here! Don't you know that you are not the opponent of these two guys at all?"
Song Xian, Wei Xuhou, and Cheng said in unison: "There are mountains in the west of the city and the south of the city, so the west gate is the last hope for the retreat of the lord's army, so there must be no mistakes, it is to have Zhang and the second general of the high school in Kebao will not be lost, as long as the three of us can defend until the lord comes, it will be the completion of the task!"
"You guys!" Lu Bu was speechless, "Now the three of you will each bring the rest of your men and horses and my family first, and I will come to the palace in person!"
"No, lord!" At this time, all the generals of the Lu Bu army knelt on the ground, "The lord goes first, and I will wait for the queen of the palace to die!"
"This is a military order! Those who violate the order will be killed!" After Lu Bu finished saying this, he had already ridden his horse and rushed towards Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
"Take care, lord!" Song Xian and the three of them were helped up by Sergeant Chen Gong and muttered.
"Song Xian Wei Xu Hou Cheng, you are very good today, I, Lu Bu, can be proud to have subordinates like you!" Lu Bu was already fighting with Dian Wei Xu Chu, and said this sentence coldly.
"Lord!" Song Xian and the three of them looked at Lu Bu together, and suddenly felt that everything they had done was worth it.
No one noticed that tears were gradually overflowing from the corners of Lu Bu's eyes at this moment.
"I was defeated by my men before, so now you want to bully my subordinates to vent in the future?" Lu Bu coldly forced back the joint attack of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and said sharply.
"Damn, I can't help this guy!" Although Dian Wei Xu Chu changed horses, he still couldn't match Lu Bu, after all, their physical consumption was no less than Lu Bu, and at this moment, the two of them stared at each other, and they couldn't help Lu Bu, but they were unwilling to give up like this, so they had to confront Lu Bu.
Lu Bu suddenly retreated slowly, and when he could retreat to the side of the suspension bridge, he suddenly shouted, and swept the ground in front of him with a halberd, only to hear a click, and the wooden plank of the suspension bridge was broken by the fierce halberd wind and fell into the moat.
Not long after, Cao Cao led the army to arrive, and saw that Dian Wei Xu Chu was organizing the sergeants to build a suspension bridge, knowing that Lu Bu had run away again, and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, Cao Cao immediately shouted: "Don't care about here, quickly lead troops to help Miaocai and Zhu Linglu Zhao break through the West Gate!"
"No!" the two were very surprised by Cao Cao's reaction, but they immediately took the order to go.
"I actually ignored Gao Shun's trapped!" Cao Cao muttered to himself, "I haven't seen this mysterious army until now, it must be planning to deal a fatal blow to our army at a critical moment, right? But my tiger and leopard cavalry is not a fuel-efficient lamp, let these two armies face each other head-to-head today!"
At this moment, the West Gate battle is also in full swing, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are in the lead, leading hundreds of cavalry phalanxes, rushing back and forth in front of the West Gate, they have two thousand crossbowmen behind them, in front of the drawbridge erected in the shield array, from time to time shooting the enemy soldiers who rushed out of the city wall and the city gate, there are thousands of corpses on the ground that are indistinguishable from the enemy, at this time the sun is scorching, these corpse formations from time to time exude the bloody stench, which is disgusting, every soldier's face is covered by thick blood stains and mud dust, like a native who has just come out of the ground。
Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao had a previous competition with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, not only did they not take advantage of the advantage, but they were almost killed, and they were defeated before they could get a few combinations, and they knew that they were invincible, so they wanted to use the advantage of more people to crush each other, but after all, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were partners who had been fighting together on the battlefield for many years, and how could some small soldiers be able to match them? Soon, more corpses fell on the ground.
At this time, Xiahou Yuan was unable to go into battle in person because he was hit by Lu Bu's arrow just now, and was being commanded by his own guards in the core.
"General, you're wounded, so you'd better rest!" said one of the guards.
"This little injury is a fart!" Xiahou Yuan scolded, although Cao Cao did not let him come, he knew that he had to come, that is, to supervise Zhu Ling Lu Zhao and the two friendly troops from Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao and the lord are the best allies, but this time the lord is in trouble, but Yuan Shao did not come to help, and also found an excuse to be seriously injured by the assassin sent by the black mountain thief Zhang Yan, and only sent Zhu Ling Lu Zhao such a second- or third-rate commodity to come to help, if this kind of goods are sincere, it will not play a role, if it is a ghost, it is really necessary to guard against it, looking at the front of the West Gate for so long, it is still a standoff, but the soldiers of Zhu Ling and Gao Shun have been constantly beheaded by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun This is also an indisputable fact, and the doubts in Xiahou Yuan's heart have also faded from time to time。 I had to take the bow and arrow and shoot at Zhang Liao Gaoshun, but because he was wounded, the crosshair was greatly missed, and he either missed or dodged.
"Ahh
Not long after, Le Jin Yu Ban Cao Hong led the army to come one after another, and entered the battle one after another, although Li Quan died, but his men and horses also came, this time it was led by Li Dian, who was only nine years old, and vowed to avenge Li Quan.
But after all, the city gate is narrow, there are many people who can't show their advantages, and there are few people who can't conflict, the four generals are impatient, and suddenly see the dust in the north of the city, under the banner of Lu Bu, Cao Hong was surprised: "Lu Bu, this guy is worthy of riding a red rabbit horse that travels thousands of miles a day, and in such a short period of time, he has actually walked around Puyang City!"
Yu Ban said in a deep voice: "Let the soldiers withdraw first, and a few of us will work together to repel Zhang Liao Gaoshun, and we must block Lu Bu's retreat!"
Everyone said that they were good, and immediately moved forward and attacked Zhang Liao Gaoshun together.
Zhang Liao Gaoshun was not afraid, and he was full of spirits, and he fought with one enemy and two enemies, and he fought like this!
Cao Jun saw that Lu Bu's men and horses were gradually approaching, and had begun to retreat into the western path one after another, but only Lu Bu alone came back to kill, and shouted to Zhang Liao Gaoshun: "You two lead the troops to retreat first!
Zhang Liaogao said by the way: "The lord retreats first, and the two of us still have strength!" While speaking, he fought with Cao Hong and a few others.
"That's a lot of nonsense!" Lu Bu jumped to the side of the suspension bridge and rode his horse in front of Zhang Liao Gaoshun, and swept the halberd to force Cao Hong and the four to retreat, "Then retreat together!"
"No!" Zhang Liao Gao Shun replied in unison, not to mention answering, one left and one right lined up beside Lu Bu, three people and three horsemen stood in front of the West Gate Suspension Bridge, no one in the Cao army dared to step forward, so they had to fire bows and crossbows together, and they were also separated by Lu Bu and the three of them with weapons.
It wasn't until about half an hour later that all the soldiers inside and outside the city of Cao's army came, and even Cao Cao himself came in a hurry.
"Big brother, don't we pursue?" Cao Hong couldn't help but ask suspiciously when he saw that Cao Cao had no intention of pursuing, but instead commanded his men and horses to enter the city.
"People want to chase, the city and the people must also settle down, Puyang is the seat of the entire East County, I'm afraid Chen Palace won't let us occupy it so easily, right?"
Cao Hong was puzzled: "All the soldiers of Lu Bu have run away, will there be any remaining enemies?"
Cao Cao smiled without saying a word, looked at a herald running over in the city, and asked, "What's the matter?"
The herald said, "Lord Qi, there have been several assassinations in the city, which have injured many of our soldiers, but now they have all been discovered and pacified!"
"Assassination, hum, actually playing such a little trick!" Cao Cao said with a smile, and then his expression froze, "Tell Man Chong that Puyang has just been pacified, and law and order must be strengthened!"
"No!" the herald received the order and hurried away
Cao Cao summoned all the generals to him and said: "Everyone is tired today, this is the third time we have attacked Puyang, fortunately, we finally worked together to take here, and pulled out Lu Bu in the north of the Yellow River, which is also the most important stronghold in the entire Yanzhou, Miaocai, you are injured, so you will temporarily stay in Puyang to recuperate and assist Manzhong to defend the city by the way." ”
"No, my lord!"
"Man Cheng, your brother was killed by Lu Bu, I will bury him, you have lost your loved ones one after another, you should take a good rest, I hope you don't get decadent because of this, now give you a few days off, if you feel that there is no problem, you will assist Miaocai to pacify the counties around Puyang!"
"No, my lord!" Li Dian tearfully agreed.
"The rest of the men and horses, rest for three days, and follow me across the river to attack Jiyin County!"
"No!"
At this time, Xun Yu came and said to Cao Cao: "Cao Gong, I just got the news that Guan Hai has captured Qu'a!"
"Oh?" Cao Cao was taken aback, "Why is this Guan Hai so capable, didn't Liu Miao gather a large number of people? Why, not only did he not beat Guan Hai away, but he was also taken to the old nest?"
Xun Yu said: "I heard that the main credit is the credit of Tai Shici, who was inserted in the Guan Hai army by the main public security, and Guan Hai is just a name!"
"Oh?" Cao Cao wondered, "Why did you have anything to do with Mingyang again?"
"That's the case, Tai Shi Ci pretended to take refuge in Liu Xuan, but in fact, he was an internal response to Guan Hai, Liu Xuan has now withdrawn to Shenting Ridge, as for why he should give the credit to Guan Hai, there must be an ulterior secret in this!"
"How can I, a junior brother, seem to have anything to do with him?" Cao Cao sighed with a smile.
Xun Yu said: "This must be what Duke Cao expected, right?
Cao Hong suddenly said: "Big brother, it turns out that you have such good intentions, I still wonder why I haven't seen Gao Fujun for so long!"
"Then I, as a senior brother, have to work harder! If I can't even compare to my own junior brother, won't it make people laugh off their big teeth?" Cao Cao laughed at himself, "Chen Gong, do you think your little trick can stop the pace of our army's advance?"
"I don't expect the dead soldiers who stayed in the city to make much difference!" Chen Gong, who was riding on a galloping war horse, said to Lu Bu beside him at this time, "But as long as we can hold Cao Cao back for an hour, we will have time to cross the river!"
Lu Budao: "I'm really unwilling to be defeated like this, Cao Cao, I will definitely defeat you, definitely!"
"It's so strange!General Lu!" Diao Chan rode to Lu Bu's side and said, "Why is there no news of Cao Jun chasing after him?"
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Bu looked at the woman he loved beside him who was worried, and said, "Isn't it just right that Cao Cao doesn't chase after him?"
"That's not right!" Chen Gong suddenly came to his senses, "I have always sent a scout horse to the back to investigate Cao Cao's movements, but I have ignored the front!"
"Won't you go to the crossing of the Yellow River after here?" Lu Bu asked Chen Gong suspiciously, "Further on is Yuan Shao's territory, right?" Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are allies, Yuan Shao is not generous enough to let Cao Cao's army wander around his territory, right?"
Before the words were finished, the probe horse flew in front, and when he arrived at Delu Bu, he panted and said: "Lord Qiqi, an unknown army suddenly appeared in front, about a thousand people, all of them are heavily armored and protected, blocking the valley mouth, blocking the way out of our army, and the two generals Zhang Liao and Gaoshun have already led the army to fight with it!"
"With such fast speed and decoration, could it be Cao Cao's tiger and leopard ride?" Chen Gong muttered.
"Tiger and leopard riders?" Lu Bu and the others frowned, "What kind of troops? Why have I never heard you mention it?"
Chen Gong said: "This is Cao Cao's most powerful troops, the soldiers are selected from the Qingzhou Yellow Turban soldiers who are good at riding and shooting, and are trained by Cao Cao's personal general Cao Ren's brother Cao Chun, this Cao Chun is a person with mediocre qualifications in all aspects, but only the training of the army is very set, no one knows what method he used to train this tiger and leopard horse, even Cao Cao himself is no exception, so far Cao Cao has only been used twice, once to fight Yuan Shu, and once to deal with Liu Bei in Xuzhou. Its lethality and combat effectiveness are probably not inferior to General Gao Shun's trapped camp!"
"Really?" Hearing Chen Gong talk about the tiger and leopard riding so vividly, Lu Bu couldn't help but be interested, "It's just right, pass the order down, let the trapped camp fight, and see whose troops are unparalleled in the world!"
