Chapter 38: The Battle of Qiyang

Although Zhang Xiu finally got her wish and slept in the same bed with a beautiful woman when she came to the Three Kingdoms, she still failed to fulfill her life's "long-cherished wish"!

A few days later, the 120,000-strong army set off in Shouchun and went straight to Qiyang, an important town defending Huainan.

A few days later, Zhang Cao's two armies arrived in Qiyang at the same time. Cao Cao did his best this time to mobilize 250,000 elite soldiers from the four states, intending to unify the Central Plains before Yuan Shao completely pacified Hebei.

Moved by Zhang Xiu's little butterfly, Cao Cao roughly unified the hinterland of the Central Plains more than a year earlier than in history. This caused a great shock to Yuan Shao in Hebei, who was supposed to send troops to completely destroy Gongsun Chan next year, but in October this year, he mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege Gongsun Chan, who had built a high-rise building and hoarded a lot of grain.

This is still the military report that Zhang Xiu got after Cao Cao sent troops. At the same time, this is one of the reasons why Cao Cao sent troops in November, the early winter season.

It seems that Cao Cao intends to settle the Central Plains in a war! Zhang Xiu, who led the army to Qiyang, couldn't help but secretly regret that he couldn't let go of the gains and losses of a city and a place. But it's useless to regret it now, since it's already here, if you retreat now, it will inevitably stage the glorious deeds of Fu Jian in the battle of Qianqin Weishui in advance!

If you retreat without a fight, not to mention what the grassroots soldiers think, these generals and ministers under their own hands will inevitably think that they are afraid of Cao Cao's troops, and if this causes their subordinates to deviate from morality, I am afraid that they will really be finished.

Because in this era, the feudal idea of heaven and man has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Now not only those big-headed soldiers who don't know a single big word feel that Huainan suffered natural disasters and man-made disasters because Zhang Xiu made God unhappy and suffered from heavenly retribution, but even most of the scribes and officials who read a lot of books also feel that Zhang Xiu is really not suitable to be a prince.

It's just that no one dares to say it now, after all, Zhang Xiu now firmly controls the military and political power in Huainan, and has more than 200,000 troops in his hands.

On the night when Zhang Xiu came to Qiyang, Jia Xu said to Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu complained that Jia Xu knew that he shouldn't come to protect Ruyin, why didn't he dissuade himself from shrinking his forces and refusing to defend Shouchun. Jia Xu just laughed it off and ignored Zhang Xiu's complaints. Zhang Xiu was really speechless about his mastermind, so he had to go to Chen Gong and others to discuss how to resist Cao Jun.

Chen Gong also found that something was not quite right at this time. On the one hand, he was well aware of Cao Jun's amazing combat power, and he could also see that Cao Jun's morale was not only high because of the sweep of the Central Plains, but also because of Zhang Xiu's Huainan Heng, and his fighting spirit was even higher!

And Zhang Xiujun responded to that sentence - one eliminates the other. Most of the 180,000 troops gathered were the original Yuan Shu's surrendered troops, as the defeated army not long ago, the morale was already low, and I felt that I had been punished by God, and the morale was so low that it was impossible to describe. Even the Yongliang Army, which had the rest of its life after a hundred battles, did not have much fighting spirit.

Chen Gong, who originally supported the dispatch of troops and planned to settle the battle on the periphery of the territory, without making the Huainan mainland suffer another war and make it even worse, was also as remorseful as Zhang Xiu, regretting that his overall view was still not deep enough!

So, in the deliberations that night, Chen Gong rebelled against Yuan Lian and Yan Xiang's camp and advocated sticking to avoid war! However, Yang Hong, the real leader of the war-avoiding faction, was in Shouchun because of political issues, and he couldn't see the wonderful changes in the faces of the two opponents of Yuan Jian and Yan Xiang!

However, Zhang Xiu could not easily change his strategy, otherwise he would leave the impression that his subordinates would change their orders. In the end, he made a compromise, on the one hand, he continued to build a camp to consolidate the city defense, and on the other hand, he made an appointment to fight Cao Cao in the Ruyin Plain.

Don't look at you, Cao Cao is now fierce like rain, and my Zhang Xiu is not bad now! This first battle must be won.

……

Three days later, the two armies left their barracks and lined up ten miles north of Qiyang City.

Cao Cao took the lead in the horse, loudly read out Zhang Xiu's six charges in front of the two armies, and then the two loud voices next to him, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, shouted again, and tens of thousands of people heard it.

Zhang Xiu could only sigh that Cao Cao was really a traitor, and refused to let go of the slightest opportunity to thwart himself. Immediately, he also slapped his horse out of battle, and was about to scold Cao Cao for his unsubservient act of hijacking the Son of Heaven to control the dynasty, but Cao Cao had already pointed at Zhang Xiu, and Xu Chu shouted "Zhang Xiu takes his life" and rushed over.

Zhang Xiu didn't even have time to sigh at Cao Cao's cunning and cunning, because his love for Zhou Cang couldn't bear it, so he raised his gun and shouted, "Where did the thief come from, and rushed forward.

Zhang Xiu didn't have time to call Zhou Cang back, and suddenly turned around and shouted, "Cao Xing!" ”

"The last general!" Cao Xuan was very excited to ride out of the battle. I never thought that the lord would be the first to call himself!

Wait, it's usually the generals who probe first, is this looking down on me or looking down on me?

Xiahoudun, who was staring at a lone dragon eye in the Cao army's array, suddenly became furious, and without waiting for Cao Cao's order, he rushed out with his horse and spear: "Tiger idiot, be careful! The enemy general in the back is the Cao Xing thief who loves to cast dark arrows the most! ”

Cao Xuan also heard Xiahoudun's voice at this time, but he was not ashamed but proud, took out the bow and arrow on his back, and was about to aim.

Xu Chu was still about ten meters away from Zhou Cang at this time, and when he heard Xiahou Dun's warning behind him, he was also very vigilant in his heart, and was preparing to guard against hidden arrows, but unexpectedly, an arrow had already been shot, and he didn't have time to dodge for a while, and hit the armor in his chest.

"Who shot it!" Tiger idiot Xu Chu immediately blew up!

raised his eyes to look at Cao Xing, but Cao Xuan also looked surprised, looked straight at Zhang Xiu, and forgot to raise his bow and arrow.

Xu Chu looked at Zhang Xiu again, and saw that Zhang Xiu was quickly pulling out the feather arrow from the quiver behind his back with his right hand, while his left hand was raising the bow to maintain the posture of aiming at Xu Chu.

Zhang Xiu secretly scolded himself for his poor archery skills at the moment, and he failed to shoot the unprotected face. And how can this guy wear such thick armor on his chest, and the arrows didn't shoot in.

Cao Cao also reacted, and scolded angrily: "Zhang Xiu's villain, he actually attacked with a secret arrow!" ”

Zhang Xiu was also not to be outdone, and replied: "What is a sneak attack, he shouted for my life first, and I am justified defense!" ”

Cao Cao was speechless for a while: "Then why did the general next to you go to fight again?" ”

Zhang Xiu calmly defended: "Allow your relatives to take my name in the future, and not allow my relatives to take your life in the future?" ”

Cao Cao still refused to let go: "Then why do you call Cao Xing's despicable villain again?" ”

Zhang Xiu snorted coldly: "I'm not comfortable without two people around me to protect me, what's the matter, I didn't give him an order to go to war!" ”

Cao Cao: "......"

The two of them were arguing, but the angry Xu Chu couldn't care about killing Zhou Cang against him, and as soon as the steel knife flipped over, Zhou Cang was shocked off the horse and killed Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu had no choice but to drop the bow and arrow, and Hu Che'er on the other side immediately handed over the tiger's head golden gun!

Look at my Hundred Birds Towards the Phoenix Gun! Zhang Xiu shouted, and the horse raised his gun to meet him!

It was just a round, and Zhang Xiu wanted to escape. Zhang Xiu was just a little unskilled in marksmanship, and he was a little nervous in his heart, so he didn't dodge Xu Chu's double knives, and was next to a majestic tiger force!

It seems that I have worked hard in the past few months to revisit the Hundred Birds Chaohuang Gun is still not very useful, there is no actual combat training, and no matter how exquisite marksmanship is, it is in vain.

The two of them intersected and intersected, Zhang Xiuxue was smart, with his dexterous body skills just to dodge Xu Chu's double knives, he really couldn't dodge and used dexterous marksmanship to unload Xu Chu's tiger power, and the two actually fought unscathed for more than a dozen rounds.

This time was enough for Zhou Cang to pick up his weapon and ride back on his horse in disgrace.

In addition, Xiahou Xuan had already rushed up, chasing Cao Xing to stab him to death. How could Cao Xing be so stupid to fight with this man who was the best in the world, and rode a horse to accompany Xiahou in circles.

Joke, if Lao Tzu could beat you, he would shoot arrows at you with a sneak attack. Now chasing Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is funny before he confronts you. It's just that we really can't find a second person who is as outstanding as Benjiang's archery skills, otherwise I would have shot you with an arrow in the right eye earlier!

On the other side, Cao Cao patted Dian Wei's shoulder and whispered: "You go to solve that Zhang Xiu's Qiang Hu general, it doesn't matter if you can't solve it, finding a chance to win Zhang Xiu with Xu Chu is the first achievement!" ”

Dian Wei glanced at Hu Che'er, who was not riding a horse and walking in the distance, and immediately had a high fighting spirit: "Does the lord ever remember that in Yanzhou, I used a halberd on foot to shoot dozens of Lu Bu's troops in an instant?" Today, I will use this pair of big iron halberds, one to kill the Qiang Hu barbarian, and the other to capture and kill the embroidery! ”

After that, Dian Wei actually dismounted, took his own pair of big iron halberds from the horseback, and counted twelve small halberds and walked towards Hu Che'er on foot.

Although Hu Che'er is a tiger-headed tiger and a Qianghu barbarian, his mind is not bad at all. While paying attention to the battle situation of Zhang Xiu and Xu Chu, he was ready to savior at any time; On the other hand, he was also staring at Cao Jun's movements.

I saw a fierce general next to Cao Cao dismount and walk towards him on foot, Hu Che'er carefully weighed the person who came, and immediately confirmed from the pair of big iron halberds that this person was the ancient evil that Zhang Xiu often talked about - Dian Wei, who also sprouted a fighting spirit, and wanted to try to fight with this fierce general who was said to be undefeated by the flying general Lu Bu.

Hu Che'er immediately untied a large leather bag he was carrying and threw it on the ground, splashing a large cloud of dust, and if he stood close, he would even feel the ground tremble.

Then Hu Che'er took an axe and a mountain knife from the leather bag, and inserted them into the holster on his back. took another meteor hammer, swiped it twice, felt it, and was silent, facing Dian Wei head-on.

The two were thirty paces apart, and suddenly they let out a strange cry and rushed towards each other. I couldn't see who made the first move, and a small halberd that Dian Wei threw at Hu Che'er had been knocked away by Hu Che'er's meteor hammer.

But Dian Wei's second halberd came faster, the meteor hammer was still in the air and did not come back, and the second halberd had already crossed the meteor hammer and flew straight towards Hu Che'er.

Hu Che'er let out a loud sigh and shook the handle of the meteor hammer, and the chain connecting the meteor hammer and the handle was flexibly thrown towards the small halberd, just knocking the small halberd to the ground.

But at this time, two more small halberds flew over, their speed was even faster than the previous two halberds, and Hu Che'er, who had not yet recovered the meteor hammer, had no tricks to stop.

The situation was critical, Hu Che'er had to discard the meteor hammer, and at the same time rolled on the spot, he pulled out the mountain knife behind his back and made a blocking gesture in front of him.

One halberd was nailed to the ground, but the other was stuck by the mountain opening knife.

At this moment, the four halberds rushed over again, and Hu Che'er didn't have time to think about why he could throw four small halberds as fast and accurate at the same time when he only had two hands. Only to roll forward on the ground several times, covered with mud all over his body, embarrassed.

In this case, you must not be able to roll backwards, because the opponent obviously still has a lot of small halberds waiting to shoot you, and if you want to get rid of the situation of being pressed and beaten, you can only fight directly forward.

It's just that this is exactly in the hands of Dian Wei!

As if he had expected Hu Che'er's reaction, Dian Wei did not pull out the halberd branches after throwing the four small halberds, but lifted a pair of large iron halberds. rushed forward in a few big steps, vigorously picked up Hu Che'er's mountain knife that had not yet gotten up, and the other halberd slashed at Hu Che'er's unobstructed chest along the gap!
