Chapter 532: The Battle of Xiaopei (2)
"Boom, boom!" The sky above Xuzhou Xiaopei City suddenly roared.
Rolling dark clouds came from the distant sky towards Xiao Pei's sky, and in the dark clouds was mixed with a whole roar.
"Lord, it's going to rain!" A group of Cao Jun civilians on the side looked at Cao Cao.
"Lord, let's let the generals and their soldiers set up camp first!" Xun Yu proposed Cao Cao, and they came quickly, and when they arrived at Xiaopei City, they did not go to set up camp, and began to attack Xiaopeicheng.
But I never thought that it was not dark yet, and this rainstorm was coming.
The weather in the south is really changing.
"No need!" Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "I'm here, waiting for Manchester City to break through Xiaopei, wouldn't it be nice for the army to be stationed in the city." "Cao Cao has Cao Cao's plan, although this small Pei city is strong, but it can't stop his Cao Cao's soldiers, if the army arrives a day or two to take Xiao Pei, this is his Cao Cao strategy, this can also deter the defenders of other cities in Xuzhou. After all, Cao Cao's aftermath in Xuzhou is still there.
"But?" Xun Yu still wants to fight steadily, although Li Dian's soldiers and horses have the upper hand, but Xiao Peicheng can't solve it in one or two hours.
The heavy rain is coming soon, even if Li Dian takes the city, I'm afraid everyone will have to get drenched in the rain, but what if Li Dian can't take the city?
If you don't change your clothes in time after the rain, you will get sick.
"It's nothing, I believe Mancheng!" Cao Cao's face slowly became confident, or a kind of pride.
What if you Yuan Yao repairs Xiaopei again, I, Cao Cao, can even defeat your father and uncle, let alone a little hairy child like you.
Seeing Cao Cao's stubbornness, Xun Yu didn't say anything more, just waiting for Li Dian to break through Xiaopei City.
The weather in the south is changing, and the heavy rain is coming soon.
"Crackle, crackle!" The rain like broad beans fell from the sky, some fell to the ground and were absorbed by the earth, some fell on the helmets of those soldiers and made a crisp sound, flowing down the helmets towards the body, and some fell into the moat of Xiaopei City, and merged with the water of those moats.
Blinding lights appeared in the sky, these were lightning bolts, precursors of thunder, and soon thunder resounded between heaven and earth.
On the top of Xiaopei's city, heavy rain fell and hit those soldiers who were fighting.
Feng Li killed another wave of Li Dian's soldiers and horses, he gasped heavily, the rain was almost confused, and his whole body was already soaked, I don't know if it was wet by the rain or sweat or even blood.
"It's raining, it's raining!" The heavy rain may be an obstacle for Cao Jun, but it is good news for Feng Li, who is now defending the city, because the heavy rain will blur his vision, and the same heavy rain will make it more difficult for the enemies who climb under the city to climb the rain-washed wet city wall.
Outside the city, Cao Cao was also in the pouring rain.
"My lord
"Come on, hold an umbrella for the lord!" Cheng Yu shouted at Cao Cao's guards over there.
Soon, Dian Wei and Xu Chu personally brought a large umbrella and covered it on top of Cao Cao's head.
But Cao Cao refused, "Just the rain, how can I let Cao Mengde avoid calling!" In all fairness, if Cao Cao was born in the emperor's family, then he must be an emperor who is not inferior to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, whether it is courage, wisdom or otherwise, he Cao Cao is nothing bad.
If you really want to say a pity, it is a pity that he Cao Cao was born in such an era of heroes.
"The lord is mighty, the lord is mighty, the big man will win, the big man will win!" Cao Cao's subordinate generals simply would not let go of such a good opportunity to boost morale and make Cao Cao pretend.
Seeing that there is about to come to a perfect score pretending situation.
It's a pity that God didn't give this opportunity.
"Boom, boom!" There was another roar, only this time it was no longer lightning and thunder in the sky, but on the moat outside Xiaopei City.
"Lord, pontoon!" Xun Yu's eyes suddenly widened and pointed to the moat of Xiaopei over there, where the temporary pontoon bridge made of stones and earth had collapsed.
Something happened that made Li Dian's eyes burst.
"Ahhhh Countless soldiers under Li Dian of Cao Cao's army all fell into the moat outside Xiaopei City with a roar.
Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were originally more people in the north, less water systems in the north, and more landlubbers, and now most of the soldiers who were surrendered were Yuan Shao's soldiers in Hebei, and there were more landlubbers.
The moat outside Xiaopei City is already turbulent, and even a southern man who is good at the water system may not be able to survive in this turbulent river, let alone these northern landlubbers who rarely touch water in their lives.
Xiao Pei's moat is low, there is an undercurrent and the Yingshui on the side is connected, before Cao Cao tricked, with earth, stone and wood blocks to block the undercurrent, plus Cao Cao is a large number of people, quickly filled in a section of the moat, this time can let the soldiers and horses under his hand drive the ladder to the head of Xiao Pei City, but now it is not good.
Under the impact of this heavy rain, the surging of the river actually washed away the mouth that blocked the undercurrent.
The water level of the river grew higher and higher with the help of the heavy rain, and the turbulent river and the heavy rain washed away the filled moat again, and the earth, stone and wood went downstream, or sank to the water, or were washed into the main stream of Yingshui.
This is the willingness of Li Dian's main force to fall into the water.
Li Dian has all the heart of his mad to die, who did he Li Dian recruit to provoke whom, as for the bad luck?
Every time he sends out troops, he Li Dian is going to die and stubble, and the elite under his hands is less than one day a day.
Now even the guards around him Li Dian have changed, it was a man-made disaster before, but now it is a natural disaster
Natural disasters and man-made disasters, he Li Dian has really encountered it all over again.
God, aren't you playing with me?
The current washed away the pontoon, and Feng Li naturally would not let go of such an opportunity.
"Brothers, follow me to kill!" Under Feng Li's order, the soldiers and horses under his hands gathered again.
This time, the veterans under Li Dian couldn't bear it, their back roads were cut off, and there were no reinforcements, so only these individuals were left in front of them.
"Kill all of them!" Feng Li also has his hatred, Li Dian's subordinates almost killed him Feng Li, if he doesn't retaliate now, when will he wait.
Above the city, Li Dian's remaining soldiers and horses were defeated and retreated, but Feng Li's men were becoming more and more courageous, Li Dian's soldiers and horses were fighting to death, and retreating was also death, and soon there was no longer the sound of Li Dian's soldiers and horses above the city.
"Lord, the last crime will be death!" Li Dian came to Cao Cao in embarrassment, hung his head, and knelt on the ground.
Cao Cao's face was also gloomy, Li Dian defeated him Cao Cao's face, he just said that he would spend the night in Xiaopei City tonight, but he didn't expect the heavy rain to hit him Cao Cao's face, and it crackled.
The collapse of the pontoon bridge, Li Dian's 5,000 soldiers and horses were able to survive hundreds of people, and it was all blessed by the Bodhisattva.
Li Dianjun is really finished this time.
"Lord, this is not General Li Dian's fault, it is really the will of God!" Xun Yu on the side looked at Cao Cao's gloomy face, and pleaded with Li Dian over there, Li Dian received the military order in front of Cao Cao, and if he couldn't take Xiao Pei, he would be killed.
"Providence? Which providence? Cao Cao's gloomy anger seemed to be ignited all of a sudden, "Does the master want me Cao Mengde to be defeated?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Xun Yu knew that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately lowered his head and repented.
"Humph!" Cao Cao snorted coldly, and then set his sights on Li Dian over there.
Li Dian felt Cao Cao's gaze, and the whole person was trembling, although Cao Cao was not a general, but his killing intent was even more terrifying than that of a military general who had been on the battlefield for a long time, because the princes were angry, and the corpses were floating for thousands of miles.
"I, Cao Mengde, am ordered by the Son of Heaven to crusade against traitors, and what I Cao Mengde represents is the will of heaven!" Cao Cao seemed to be arrogant, and like a warning to Cao Jun's civil and military forces.
"Man Cheng, get up!" After Cao Cao vented his anger, he said softly to Li Dian, who was already terrified on the ground.
"The last general will not dare!" Li Dian still lowered his head, not daring to raise it at all.
"Get up!" Cao Cao repeated it again, and that voice did not allow the slightest doubt.
Li Dian stood up slowly, his body was already soaked, and he didn't know if he was beaten by the rain or drenched with sweat.
"How many people have returned!?" Cao Cao continued to ask.
"Insufficient, less than three hundred!" Li Dian's head lowered again.
"Take your soldiers and horses to rest first, rest for a day, and go back to Yanzhou tomorrow to recruit new recruits!" Cao Cao said indifferently, Li Dian's soldiers and horses are already wasted, and it is no longer useful to attack Huainan.
"Go back to Yanzhou to recruit new soldiers?" The pupils in Li Dian's eyes narrowed, and his expression became complicated, and he went back to Yanzhou to recruit new soldiers, which shows that Cao Cao did not plan to kill him because of this defeat Li Dian's thoughts, is this another aspect, what kind of soldiers and horses are being recruited in Yanzhou now, will he Li Dian not know? are all soldiers and horses of Tuntian, and he Li Dian is a first-class general, but now he wants to go back to be a captain of Tuntian?
Although Li Dian is also confident, even if the second-rate soldiers and horses fall into the hands of his Li Dian, he Li Dian is sure to retrain an elite army, but this is not something that can be done in one day, at least this war will have nothing to do with him Li Dian.
If Cao Cao's strategy succeeds in this way, according to Cao Cao's plan, after destroying Huainan, Cao Jun will really be the biggest prince overlord in the world.
Is there still a chance for him Li Dian in the back?
However, although Li Dian was disappointed in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything to Cao Cao, it was already good to be able to save his life this time, what else did he want to hope for?
"The last general commands!" Li Dian gritted his teeth, the matter had come to this point, and there was no intention to say more.
"Pass the order, except for the vanguard army, the rest of the soldiers and horses will retreat to Dongguan!" Today it was he Cao Cao who was careless, but he didn't expect that even this heavenly prince was not beautiful, seeing that Xiao Peicheng was about to be taken down when it was pouring rain, he Cao Cao was slapped in the face with a solid face, resulting in almost all Cao troops being wet in this heavy rain.
If you don't go to warm up and rest, Cao Jun will fall at least half of his men and horses on the second day.
And now it's too late to cut down trees and set up camp, so I have to return to Dongguan.
"Whoa!" Cao's soldiers and horses retreated in the direction of Dongguan under Cao Cao's orders.
On the top of the city, Feng Li paid close attention to the movements of Cao Cao's army, as soon as Cao Cao retreated, he knew the news, but for fear that Cao Cao would make a deception to fight back, Feng Li was still very cautious, while sending people to monitor the movements of Cao Cao's army, while seeking help from Yuan Yaojun, who was far away in Qingzhou.
Waiting for Cao Cao's soldiers and horses to really withdraw from Xiaopei's radius of a hundred miles, Feng Li really breathed a sigh of relief, and the nervous spirit that had collapsed before suddenly loosened up.
Even Feng Li himself couldn't believe that he, he actually repelled Cao Cao's attack, and it could be regarded as winning a game against Cao Cao, in this thing that even most of the first-line main generals in Hebei couldn't do, he Feng Li actually successfully repelled Cao Cao's attack.
Even if Feng Li took advantage of the weather, don't forget the comparison of Cao Cao and Feng Li's strength.
After this battle, he Feng Li can be regarded as going from an ordinary general to a rare famous general in the world.
