Episode 156: Capture Pi and occupy Xuzhou
A day later, outside the city of Xiapi, Xiao Lan led an army of 40,000 to press the border, and immediately panicked the defenders of Xiapi, because the pottery merchants went to the sour jujube alliance and took away 30,000 troops.
Chen Deng said: "Xiapi City is tall and solid, the enemy army will be difficult to break through for a while, I am afraid that they will dig water to flood, our army will have no way to live, for today's plan, only ask the three generals to lead the troops out of the city, camp in the upper reaches of the water, and Xiapi as a horn, in order to deter the enemy." ”
Cao Bao frowned and said: "The other party has tens of thousands of troops, and now there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xia Piman, how to divide the troops in two places, this plan is not appropriate." ”
Chen Deng persuaded him repeatedly, but it was difficult to convince Cao Bao and the others.
Xiao Lan besieged the city for three days and did not attack, but let people go to the scolding array every day, and he was not in a hurry to take Xiapi, because at this time, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were leading troops to attack the prefectures and counties in Xuzhou.
In less than three days, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan have captured most of Xuzhou, and there are more Taishan thieves and Zang Ba surrendered, and for a while, Xiapi became a lonely city.
Seeing that the time had come, on the fourth day, Xiao Lan used the strategy that Zhuge used later, so that Liao Hua carried a woman's clothes to Xiapi City to challenge.
Sure enough, this time, Cao Bao, Mi Fang and other generals couldn't bear it anymore, so they ignored Chen Deng's dissuasion, led an army of 5,000, and came out of the city, wanting to fight.
After all, at this time, the war of the princes has not yet begun, and the generals under the command of the princes do not know their respective depths, and they all think that they are invincible generals in the world.
Xiao Lan was not in a hurry, waiting for the opponent's army formation to be arranged. Fang Cai asked left and right: "Who will capture the flag with me and win the first merit in breaking Xiapi!" ”
"The last will go!" But it was Liao Hua, who drank in his mouth, and immediately slapped his horse out. went straight to the Xuzhou official army formation, and shouted loudly: "Liao Hua, the pioneer general of the Taiping Army, is here, who dares to step forward to lead the death!" ”
"The thief is enough to be rampant, Cao Bao is here to kill you!" Seeing Liao Hua coming to challenge, Cao Bao immediately jumped on the horse. came to meet the attack and stood with Liao Hua.
"Martial Arts: Assault!" Cao Bao broke out in battle, and the wind and clouds were shocked by the rage, and the spear broke through the air and rushed forward, with a sharp and piercing sound.
"Martial Arts: Wind Breaker!" The Liao Hua long knife broke through the air, and the combat power also completely exploded, and the power of up to 7,900 jun condensed into a terrifying sword light, tearing the air!
Hearing a loud bang, the air surged, and Liao Hua's long knife was headed. is becoming more and more sharp and sharp, and the moves are not far from Cao Bao's vital points, Cao Bao's force is not as good as Liao Hua, how can he stop it? After parrying three or five convergences, Cao Bao shook a shot, and then took advantage of Liao Hua's dodge to return to the horse and leave.
"Straw Bale Ann dares to bully me?" Liao Hua wanted to take advantage of the victory to kill Cao Bao, but he didn't expect that this Cao Bao would be so undisciplined, his face seemed to be embarrassed, and the fire in his heart was even stronger. hurriedly drove the horse in hot pursuit
Seeing that Cao Bao was about to be slashed off the horse by Liao Hua, the Xuzhou official army broke out of the neutral camp, held the long knife with a gun, and relieved Cao Bao from the siege.
"Let's get the name together!" Liao Hua defeated Cao Bao. Seeing that the enemy general was new and vigorous, he was not afraid, and even if he asked with a shout.
Cao Bao had palpitations in his heart, and after the horse arrived, he hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Second Young Master for saving a certain life!" ”
The person who came was Tao Qian's son, Tao Ying!
"You have offended me in Xuzhou for no reason. Tao Ying will take your life today! With a loud shout, he saw Tao Ying's big gun break through the air, not a stabbing attack, but a knife slash from top to bottom, and the powerful force exploded, rolling the sonic boom like thunder, and went straight to Liao Hua and smashed down.
"I'm afraid you won't make it!" Liao Hua shouted, and immediately swung his knife to meet the attack, the two of them came and went, and suddenly fought together, flying sand and rocks around them, rolling up the wind and clouds, and changing endlessly.
Xiao Lan was surprised: "I didn't expect Tao Qian Lao'er to have such a powerful son, his combat power is so strong, he is not under Yuan Jian (Liao Hua's character), Yuan Fu (Zhou Cang's character), you also go to the front of the battle to challenge!" ”
"No!" Zhou Cang received the order, drove the battle horse forward, and shouted loudly, "I am Zhou Cang under the command of the Generalissimo of Pingtian of the Taiping Army!" But does anyone dare to fight me?! ”
Cao Bao just suffered a big loss in the hands of Liao Hua, and now he naturally doesn't dare to step forward to face the battle, this week Cang looks quite big, in case he is more powerful than Liao Hua, he will be done with the game.
Fortunately, at this time, in the military formation, a young general urged him to step forward and said: "The thief will be crazy, and a certain family will come to fight you!" ”
"Who are you?" Zhou Cang frowned, and the blade pointed at the general from afar, his combat power was surging, and he was improving silently.
"A certain Mi Fang, Mi Zifang, the one who killed you!" Lai Jiang shouted violently in his mouth, and immediately urged him to step forward, and the spear in his hand went straight to the door of Zhou Cangmen!
Seeing that the enemy was fierce and the combat power was so high, that it seemed to be even higher than Cao Bao and Tao Ying, Zhou Cang's heart was suddenly awe-inspiring, and he immediately raised his spirit to face Mi Fang.
I only heard a sharp and piercing sound of "sonorous", sparks splashed and exploded, the air waves were stacked layer by layer, and the vibration was spreading, Zhou Cang's body trembled, but Mi Fang took a few steps back with the people and horses.
"Good!" Seeing this, Zhou Cang's eyes couldn't help but light up, but he didn't expect that in addition to Tao Ying and Cao Bao in Xuzhou, there were such fierce generals?
Mi Fang's face was full of surprise, and she looked Zhou Cang up and down, and she was even more surprised in her heart: Zhou Cang has a lot of strength this time, and his martial arts are still above the potter, and now under the full force, it is still better than being directly repulsed, which shows that the combat power of this thief general is stronger, and it is even higher than Liao Hua.
Indeed, in terms of leading troops to fight, Zhou Cang is far inferior to Liao Hua, but when it comes to combat power, Liao Hua is not as good as Zhou Cang, and now the generals under Xiao Lan's command, only Huang Zhong and Wei Yan have the ability to overpower Zhou Cang.
Mi Fang took a deep breath and immediately stepped forward again, he made the gun like a swimming dragon, but he no longer refused to fight hard with Zhou Cang, just blindly fighting.
Although Zhou Cang's strength is great, but he relies on his own strength, he naturally looks down on the skills of martial arts, and Mi Fang, on the other hand, although his strength is inferior to Zhou Cang, but in terms of martial arts, Zhou Cang is absolutely inferior, coupled with his blind fighting, the two of them fought for a while.
Xiao Lan looked coldly at the four generals fighting, Liao Hua and Tao Ying can be regarded as chess opponents, they will meet good talents, and if they want to divide the victory and defeat, they are afraid that it is unlikely that there are no eight hundred and ten rounds, on the other hand, Zhou Cang's combat strength is strong in the end, and Mi Fang may be able to rely on the method of fighting to support thirty or twenty rounds, but after that, he will definitely lose.
The victory and defeat were already in his chest, Xiao Lan immediately said to Xu Sheng beside him: "Pass the order, once General Yuanfu wins, let the cavalry attack immediately, and leave this group of officers and soldiers outside the city, there are no soldiers guarding the city in Xiapi City, no matter how high the city wall is, it can't stop the front of my Taiping army." ”
Cavalry is rare, even if this is the mutated world of the Three Kingdoms, Xiao Lan is based on Qingzhou, and all the warriors are destroyed, but he can barely make up 3,000 cavalry, this time he invaded Xuzhou, and he brought 2,000, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan each took 500, and Xiao Lan only had 1,000 here.
However, Xiao Lan's cavalry is all elite soldiers, and their combat power is extraordinary, even if it is only 1,000, it is enough to complete the 5,000 infantry in Xuzhou.
"No!" Xu Sheng took the order and left, gathering elite cavalry to be ready to attack at any time.
"Martial arts skills, slash mountains and rivers with one sword!" Sure enough, as Xiao Lan expected, Zhou Cang and Mi Fang fought for twenty rounds, and Zhou Cang finally couldn't help it, and with a loud shout in his mouth, he broke through the air with a knife and slashed out.
Mi Fang couldn't resist it, and was cut off the horse with a knife, Zhou Cang was about to kill him, but he was rushed out by the Xuzhou official army and snatched it back into the battle.
The horses of the mutated world are not trivial, even ordinary horses have the strength of a thousand jun, the war horse is stronger, two or three thousand jun strength burst out, in the blink of an eye, it has rushed to the Xuzhou military array, Xu Sheng is the leader, like a sharp knife, the instantaneous change of wind and clouds has chiseled through the opponent's military formation, setting off a bloody storm.
"Retreat!" Seeing this, Cao Bao hurriedly shouted, and hurriedly retreated with Mi Fang and hundreds of people and horses beside him, Tao Ying was distracted, and was picked up by Liao Hua under the horse, and immediately dozens of Taiping warriors rushed forward and grabbed him.
The battle situation changed instantly, a defeat, the Taiping army took advantage of the cavalry raid, almost completely annihilated 5,000 Xuzhou officers and soldiers, Zhou Cang shouted, and immediately led the troops to charge the city............ (To be continued.) )
