"General, Liu Bei led the army to attack Xuchang, how did you let him go all the way?" Yu Ban was the earliest follower of Cao Cao's army, and when he received the latest report from the scouts, he couldn't hold back and rushed to Cao Ren's mansion overnight.
"The lord handed over Xuchang and the Son of Heaven to you, and now, Liu Bei has passed through Yingchuan, and he can attack the city early tomorrow morning, how can you sit idly by?" Yu Ban was born with a pair of eagle eyes, and his long hooked nose elongated his whole face, which made people feel that he was very cold, and since Cao Cao started his army, Yu Ban has been following him and has made a lot of contributions.
He stared coldly at Cao Ren, who was eight feet five inches long and as strong as a buffalo, at this time he was closing his eyes and recuperating, with a book on the art of war beside him, he waved his hand, and the people who were waiting on the left and right retreated.
In the dim candlelight, there were only Yu Ban and Cao Ren.
Yu Ban saw that Cao Ren didn't say a word, and he really didn't know what this Cao clan general thought.
"You are the good general of my father-in-law, what you said is very right." Cao Ren slowly opened his eyes, his square forehead and wide mouth, and a square beard under him, which added to his majesty.
"Do you have to wait for Liu Bei's fight tomorrow to attack the city before you can fight?" Yu Ban saw his yin and yang weirdness, and he didn't feel angry.
Cao Ren slowly stood up and said, "When the lord is leaving, entrust Xuchang to me and Cheng Yu, once there is a war, we will discuss it, and then report it to the lord, it stands to reason that I don't have to answer you at all...... However, we are also our own people who know each other on the battlefield, so I told you, this is the Prime Minister's intention - instead of sending troops to fight and go around in circles with him, it is better for me to stick to the city, and now, the Prime Minister has brought back light horses to copy his back road! ā
was said by Cao Renyi, Yu Banru was poured from the head to the end by a basin of cold water, and hurriedly said: "It turned out to be the prime minister's clever plan, but the prime minister is going to attack Runan, and there are no ten days and eight days, how can he rush there?" ā
"You underestimate the prime minister too much. It's too underestimating me, tomorrow, let you see, what is solid! Cao Ren said, "Yu Ban, let you listen to my orders tomorrow, go out from the east gate, cross Yingchuan, and block Liu Bei's retreat!" ā
Yu Ban had to obey Cao Ren in the bottom of his heart and took the order to go.
Outside the city of Xuchang, Liu Bei, who was going to attack the city the next day, was a little uneasy, he gathered the generals and did not speak for a long time.
"Big brother, the situation is so good, why are you depressed?" Zhang Fei was anxious and was the first to speak.
"Third brother, don't you think it's too smooth to be stopped by Cao Jun along the way?" Guan Yu said what Liu Bei wanted to say, and Liu Bei glanced at him.
"The more you read, the more eyes you have. That is, Cao Cao brought all his troops to Hebei, and of course there was no Cao army here! Zhang Fei said loudly.
"Cao Cao is scheming, it won't be like this." Zhao Yun interjected, "Lord, tomorrow I will lead the army to attack the city first, you will press the formation in the rear, it is best to send people to patrol back and forth on the south bank of Yingchuan, in case the back road is intercepted by the Cao army." ā
"Zilong's view is exactly what I want!" Liu Bei said, "Let Yide go to the south bank of Yingchuan tomorrow." ā
Zhang Fei didn't like it, opened his eyes and said, "Big brother, why don't you bring me with you about the fight?" Wouldn't it be better to let Zilong go? My hands are itching to death! ā
"Yide, the rear is also an important place, it must be you." Guan Yu pulled Zhang Fei's sleeve.
Zhang Fei saw that Liu Bei could no longer argue, so he had to agree.
"Zilong and Yunchang, the two of you will attack the two gates of Xuchang tomorrow, and I will respond in the middle." Liu Bei gave a simple order.
On the second day, the sky was bright, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu set off, looking at the red in the sky, Zhao Yun was full of emotion in his heart, looked at Guan Yu beside him, and said: "Big brother, I can't imagine that we will have a day to fight side by side!" ā
Guan Yu said with a smile: "Zilong, let's see which of us will break through Xuchang first today, how about it?" ā
Zhao Yunyi smiled and said, "Very good, I won't lose to you!" ā
Guan Yu nodded, grabbed the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and rode his horse towards the main formation.
Zhao Yun's heart was surging, he grabbed the water killing, commanded 5,000 soldiers and horses, and attacked Xuchang.
Xuchang City is located in the plain, there are no mountains and rivers around it, it is very difficult to defend and easy to attack, if there is no first-class city defender, it is easy to lose.
Zhao Yun was faintly uneasy in his heart, the defender of the city was Cao Ren, this person was not a brave and unscrupulous person, but a rare brave and resourceful general in Cao Ying, so Cao Cao sent him to garrison, Zhao Yun did not dare to be careless in his heart, looking from afar, the sun in the east was obliquely covering the whole city, the drum sounded, and after the horn passed again, he saw Cao Ren wearing heavy armor and appeared on the city tower.
It seems that Cao Ren does not intend to fight in person.
This was Zhao Yun's first siege battle, he couldn't help but be a little cautious, he looked at the city tower carefully, and then turned his head to look, Guan Yu had already finished the formation, and the whole army was neat, and the cold light was shining.
Zhao Yun also commanded the army, and soon the formation was completed, only to see that the plate room on the city tower was full of archers.
"Liu Bei, why did you offend me Xuchang?" Cao Ren's voice came from afar, spreading out like a cloud, echoing across the empty battlefield.
"Cao Cao bullied the Son of Heaven and held himself hostage to the Son of Heaven, Cao Ren, surrender quickly, otherwise I will not be polite!" Liu Bei's voice also spread far away.
It was the middle of winter, Zhao Yun carefully looked at the movements in the city, and thought about the way out.
Cao Ren stopped talking, sat down in the middle of the tower, and closed his eyes.
Suddenly, Zhao Yun found that the entire Xuchang City was covered with a thick layer of pink Zhenru.
The south gate creaked open, and the two Cao generals led the army out of the city to meet the battle.
"Li Dian, Yu Ban, come and play with you!" Cao Ren said coldly.
Zhao Yun turned back to the commander and said, "Without my general's order, you are not allowed to fight!" He held aloft the water slaughter and said, "Soldiers, cheer for me!" ā
The drum rumbled, Zhao Yun grabbed the water and rode his horse towards Li Dian on the left.
The other party has not yet lined up in formation, but he didn't expect Zhao Yun to fight first, no one in Cao's army recognized Zhao Yun, so Li Dian saw Zhao Yun riding alone, he was angry, and he also rode away with a gun.
The two horses were close to each other, Zhao Yun picked up Zhenru, stabbed a solid shot, and waited until the head of the gun was pierced out, and the head of the gun shook and suddenly turned into a million guns and shot at Li Dian.
Li Dian didn't expect Zhao Yun's marksmanship to be so good, so he hurriedly picked up the round gun to resist.
Zhao Yun shook a shot, saw that Li Dian had changed his defensive position, hurriedly withdrew his spear, slapped his left palm on the saddle, flew up, and kicked towards Li Dian's door.
Li Dian reacted very quickly, hurriedly raised the gun to block the grid, the two horses intersected, Zhao Yun kicked his gun, the gun bent up, Li Dian wanted to let the rebound force of the gun bounce Zhao Yun away, but he didn't expect Zhao Yun's kick to make a fluctuation Zhenru, that Zhenru is getting stronger and stronger, and with a "click", the copper gun barrel was broken.
Li Dian was shocked, the two horses separated, and the two of them each reined in the horse's head, turned the horse, and killed again.
Li Dian picked up the head of the gun, stayed close, and threw a shot.
"Kill!" He poured Zhenru into the head of the gun, and the head of the gun shot like lightning, Zhao Yun roared, sacrificed domineering, and grabbed the head of the gun in the air.
The domineering spirit is really like being surrounded by a hundred zhang in a radius, and the spear head is really like being smashed by the domineering spirit, Li Dian didn't expect Zhao Yun to be so strong, and he was really affected by the domineering spirit, and the iron armor "crackling" burst open, and he hurriedly turned the horse's head and fled towards the main formation. Zhao Yun hurriedly caught up, and stabbed him in the back vest, Li Dian was also very good, on the side of his body, he actually avoided this shot, but he exploded violently under his ribs, and was blown up by domineering, Li Dian screamed wildly, and grabbed the water killing, how did Zhao Yun use his spiral strength with this shot, he screamed, his arm bounced away, and his body also spun like a residual leaf in the wind and fell towards the formation.
Li Dianjun rescued Li Dian, shouted in unison, and stabbed with guns, Zhao Yun didn't want to fight with them, turned the horse's head, and ran along the moat to the south gate.
The arrows were fired in unison, but where did they get close to his domineering, and before they could shoot, they turned into powder one by one.
After Yu Ban went out of the city, he went straight to Guan Yu and said, "The prime minister treats you well, how can you be ungrateful?" ā
Guan Yu walked out of the formation on a neighing red rabbit horse, and said: "I beheaded Yan Liang, punished Wen Chou, solved the white horse crisis, and already repaid the prime minister, and today I am here to crusade against the Han thief!" ā
Yu Ban was furious, and stabbed at Guan Yu with a spear first.
Guan Yu rode forward, swept away the forbidden gun with a knife, and slashed at the head with one hand, Yu Ban roared, the armor of his left arm burst, the arm exploded twice as thick, and the tiger and leopard patterns faintly appeared on his skin, and he actually went to catch the Qinglong Yanyue knife with one hand.
Guan Yu was shocked, he used a blunt knife with this knife, Yu Ban actually saw through it in an instant, and caught him with one hand, the two of them were really like competing strength between hands and knives, Yu Ban also felt unbearable, and said angrily: "It's really powerful, but Lao Tzu is not Bian Xi, Han Fu and the like!" ā
Guan Yu said angrily: "Yu Ban, it's easy for me to kill you, how are you better than Yan Liang!" He also grabbed the handle of the knife with his right hand, the blade turned, turned into a sharp knife, and strengthened his hands, Yu Ban hurriedly shouted, pushed the head of the knife to the side, Guan Yu slashed to the ground, and Yu Ban hurriedly rode his horse and fled wildly, so as not to be affected.
The scene of Guan Yu fighting Lu Bu and Guan Yu beheading Huaxiong in the tiger prison is still vivid, he still has dissatisfaction in his heart that day, and when he arrived at Baimapo, Yan Liang, who Zhang Liao could not defeat, was easily killed by Guan Yu, and he knew that between himself and Guan Yu, the difference was more than one level! Although he led the forbidden army to ride tigers and leopards, and he was also a mid-to-upper general in Cao's camp, he thought to himself that people like Guan Yu were simply like gods and unattainable.
Even without Cao Ren's secret order, he would have slipped away.
The earth behind him cracked, and Guan Yu's knife was destroying the earth again.
Fortunately, he had the intention of escaping, and if he hadn't been prepared, he would have been stuck in the crack of the ground and couldn't move.
Yu Ban looked back, but Guan Yu did not chase after him, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly led the army to flee outside the city, he wanted to return to the south bank of Yingchuan and intercept Liu Bei's retreat.
"The prime minister has sent Xu Chu to lead 15,000 men and horses, and last night he rushed through Yingchuan and took Runan directly, how can the Yellow Turban Yu Party be Xu Chu's opponent?" Yu Ban remembered what Cao Ren had said to him in the morning.
Zhao Yun and Guan Yu repelled Li Dian and Yu Ban, and then began to attack the city, and Cao Ren closed the city gates, and it seemed that he would no longer send generals.
The archers in the city shot rockets one after another, and Zhao Yun and Guan Yu urgently ordered the siege of the city.
However, when Liu Beijun's arrow shot at Xuchang, the arrow fell halfway, and it seemed to have encountered some obstacles.
Only Zhao Yun and Guan Yu saw the strange - the pink layer that covered the city was really like that.
Zhao Yun galloped along the moat, looking up at this layer of truth carefully.
The city gate was opened, and the Cao army who was killed like a tide, Zhao Yun turned the horse's head, shouted, and rushed towards the Cao army, he stabbed it with a shot, countless Cao troops were knocked into the sky, and under the strength of the fluctuation Zhenru, the Cao army ejected wave after wave into the sky, and Guan Yu rushed to the formation, and the thousands of troops and horses of the Cao army were thrown into the sky.
Cao Ren's eyes opened suddenly, stretched out his palms, and the soldiers and horses that flew into the air suddenly stopped, and slowly landed along the layer of protection.
Zhao Yun saw through Cao Ren's method of defending the city, and hurriedly urged Zhenru, and let out a clear shout, the fluctuation was really like an incomparable domineering, and he punched at that layer of protection Zhenru.
The white light flashed, and the entire Xuchang City shook a few times, and the sergeants at the head of the city fell down one after another.
The moat was turbulent, and the aftermath of Zhao Yun's punch was not over, if there was no protection from Cao Ren, Xuchang City would have been destroyed by Zhao Yun at least half of the city.
Cao Ren on the city tower seemed to have been punched hard, the armor on his belly was completely shattered, and his belly was deeply dented, emitting wisps of white smoke.
Cao Ren covered his stomach in pain, and a trace of blood was already flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"General Cao, it doesn't matter!"
Cao Ren pushed away the sergeant with one hand, Zhao Yun's punch just now almost broke his protective membrane, and the position of the attack corresponded to his abdomen, if he was directly hit by Zhao Yun, Cao Ren didn't believe that he was still alive.
"Whew, damn it, who is this man? Am I being careless? Cao Ren opened his blood-red eyes, stared at Zhao Yun who was wandering left and right by the moat, and said angrily: "In Liu Bei's army, in addition to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, there are such powerful characters!" ā
Cao Ren was not convinced, and hurriedly sacrificed his whole body, and the protection was really like a few thickened layers.
He raised his fists, looked at Zhao Yun with great doubts, and said with a smile: "Let you taste my true strength!" ā
As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed his fists into his abdomen!
Zhao Yun only felt a powerful Zhenru attack behind him, and hurriedly turned around to resist, but saw two giant fists as big as a mountain blasting towards him, and shouted loudly, and the fluctuations were really like resistance.
"Boom!" He was slammed into the protective shield like a giant fist hitting him from the front.
Zhao Yunwu churned inwardly, Cao Ren's sudden attack caught him off guard, and the huge Zhenru like a mountain was so overwhelming that he couldn't breathe, but fortunately, the fluctuating defense Zhenru gradually increased, resisting Cao Ren's two huge punches.
Domineering!
Zhao Yun's eyes flashed, and he sacrificed an incomparably powerful domineering spirit, his arms were infused with incomparably powerful fluctuations, and the dragon arm suddenly let out a clear roar, and finally pushed the huge fist as big as a mountain away.
Cao Ren on the top of the city tower was bluffed: "Who are you?" You can survive my trick! ā
"Cao Ren Pifu, I am Changshan Zhao Zilong!!"
Cao Ren's confidence collapsed a little, he urged Zhenru all over his body, and fought with Zhao Yun, which was really as difficult as a tug-of-war.
"Cao Ren, see me break you!"
Cao Ren turned his head and saw Guan Yu rushing to reinforcements at an incredible speed, his face had turned red, and the incomparable Qinglong Yanyue Knife was really surging like waves, Cao Ren was shocked: "If it is slashed by his knife, Xuchang will be destroyed!" ā
