Chapter 230: The Battle of Xuzhou (2)
After Guan Yu broke through, he soon came to the outside of Xiapi City, because Xiapi City was not far from Pengcheng.
When Guan Yu came to Xiapi City, the soldiers on the city tower immediately asked about Guan Yu's identity.
Guan Yu immediately replied: "I am Guan Yu, please come out and talk to your general!" ”
Hearing Guan Yu's self-report, Wei Yue, the general of the Lu Bu department on the city tower, immediately stood up and replied: "Guan Yu, what are you looking for my lord?" ”
"Pengcheng is in an emergency, and I came to ask General Lu to send troops to rescue me on the orders of my eldest brother."
"Wait a minute, and wait for me to show my lord."
Immediately, Wei Yue immediately rushed to Lu Bu's mansion.
Guan Yu, on the other hand, could only wait outside the city.
After Wei Yue saw Lu Bu, he immediately reported to him that Guan Yu had come to ask for help.
After hearing this, Lu Bu immediately replied: "If you don't save it, it's him Liu Bei who is unkind." ”
At this time, Chen Gongjin, a strategist beside Lu Bu, said: "Lord, Peng Cheng and I are cold lips and teeth, if Liu Bei really loses Peng Cheng, then we may not be able to resist the attack of Cao Jun, and please forget the previous unhappiness and cooperate with Liu Bei." ”
"Gongtai, then Zhang Yide, Liu Bei's subordinate, took hundreds of my war horses, if there was no Liu Xuande's instructions, how dare Zhang Fei?"
"Lord! How can a few hundred war horses compare to the six counties of Xuzhou? ”
"But it's too shameless for me to just agree to send troops."
"Lord, Liu Bei has sent Guan Yu here, he has already given enough face, and he also asks the lord to send troops to rescue."
After Lu Bu pondered, he immediately replied: "In this case, then I will sell the public platform to save face." ”
"Pass my military order, and quickly summon Cheng Lian and Zhang Liao to come to see me."
Hearing Lu Bu say this, a soldier immediately went to summon Cheng Lian and Zhang Liao.
When the two arrived, Lu Bu immediately said: "Cheng Lian and Zhang Liao obey the order, and you will immediately rectify 20,000 soldiers to rush with me to help Pengcheng." ”
After hearing this, Cheng Lian and Zhang Liao immediately took the order and left.
Immediately after, Lu Bu said to Chen Gong and Wei Yue: "Gongtai, Wei Yue, you stay in Xiapi City. ”
When Chen Gong and Wei Yue heard this, they immediately received the order.
By the time Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian had completed their army, Lü Bu had already led 20,000 Bingzhou cavalry out of Xiapi City.
When Guan Yu, who was outside Xiapi City, saw Lu Bu leading his troops out of the city, he immediately stepped forward and saluted and said, "Thank you General Lu for sending troops to rescue!" ”
"Let's go! Wait for me to kill Cao Jun, and not a single piece of armor will be left. ”
Immediately, Guan Yu led Lu Bu's army to Pengcheng.
Because Lu Bu had cavalry under his command, they were on Pengcheng's side within a day.
When Xiahou Dun, the commander of Cao's army outside the east gate, saw Guan Yu and Lü Bu's army killed, he immediately followed Cao Cao's instructions to deliberately defeat the battle and let Lü Bu's army enter Pengcheng.
After Lu Bu led his troops into Pengcheng, Liu Bei immediately took Zhang Fei to Lu Bu's face.
Immediately after, Liu Bei saluted and said, "Thank you, General Lu, who came to support with a clear sense of righteousness!" ”
After hearing this, Lu Bu immediately replied: "Brother Xuande, where is the main force of the Cao army now?" Let's see me take Cao Cao in one fell swoop. ”
"General Lu, the main forces of Cao's army are all outside the West Gate."
"In this case, then I will kill from the west gate, Brother Xuande, please open the city gate."
"General Lu, don't you need to trim it up?"
"It's okay, since I agreed to come to the rescue, then I will drive away Cao Jun for Brother Xuande."
When Liu Bei saw Lu Bu say this, he couldn't stop him anymore.
Immediately, Liu Bei took Lu Bu's 20,000 cavalry to the West Gate.
Immediately after, Liu Bei ordered Cao Bao to open the West City Gate.
When Lu Bu saw this, he immediately shouted: "Cheng Lian, Zhang Liao, follow me out of the city!" ”
Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian immediately followed Lü Bu out of Pengcheng and killed Cao Cao's military camp after receiving the order.
After Cao Cao learned that Lü Bu led his army to attack, he immediately ordered the whole army to go out of the camp to engage in battle.
Soon, Lü Bujun and Cao's army fought fiercely.
Two hours later, Cao Cao ordered the whole army to feign defeat and retreat.
Seeing this, Lu Bu immediately covered up the past.
When Liu Bei, who was watching the battle on Pengcheng, saw that Lu Bu had really repelled Cao's army, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, because the combat power shown by Cao's army was completely inconsistent with that of the siege.
Besides, Lu Bu chased and fought hard for a while, Zhang Liao suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he immediately said to Lu Bu: "Lord, the situation is wrong, Cao Jun can't be so weak. ”
"Wen Yuan, Cao Mengde has been attacking Pengcheng for several months, and his sergeants are already sleepy and tired, it is normal to behave like this, you are too worried."
Zhang Liao saw that Lu Bu didn't listen to the advice, and he sighed helplessly in his heart.
At this moment, Xu Zhu and Xu Huang respectively led their troops out from Lu Bu's two wings.
The army of Lu Bu, who was ambushed, was suddenly in chaos.
Seeing this, Lu Bu immediately started fighting.
Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian saw that Lu Bu was fighting, and they could only fight.
In the midst of the chaos, Xu Zhu locked on Zhang Liao's figure and rushed to kill him.
Zhang Liao saw a general of the Cao army coming to kill him, and he immediately swung his sword to meet him.
Soon, Xu Zhu and Zhang Liao exchanged hands.
At this time, Xu Huang also locked on Cheng Lian's figure.
Immediately after, Xu Huang also brandished a big axe to kill Cheng Lian.
Cheng Lian saw Xu Huang coming, and he immediately followed to meet him.
After Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian were entangled by Xu Zhu and Xu Huang respectively, Lü Bujun's command system suddenly collapsed, because Lü Bu only brought Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian two generals.
When Lu Bu saw that his army was completely in chaos, he immediately shouted: "Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian, Cao Jun is fierce, quickly retreat with me." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Bu commanded the crowd to move closer to him and break through.
Besides, when Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian heard Lu Bu's shout, they also tried to get rid of the entanglement between Xu Zhu and Xu Huang.
Because Zhang Liao is a first-class mid-level fierce general, it is still a little difficult for Xu Zhu, who is a first-class top player, to leave Zhang Liao, who wants to leave.
In the end, Zhang Liao still got rid of Xu Zhu.
As for Cheng Lian's side, as a second-rate top-notch Cheng Lian, it was even more difficult to escape from the first-class mid-level Xu Huang, after all, they were a big level behind.
After Xu Huang and Cheng Lian fought for more than 50 rounds, Cheng Lian was finally killed by Xu Huang because of carelessness.
At this time, Cao Cao, who was defeated, also returned to his division to cover up and kill Lu Bujun.
After Lu Bu's army got rid of Cao's pursuit, Lu Bu looked back and saw that there were only about 5,000 people left in his 20,000 sons.
Seeing this situation, Lu Bu couldn't take care of Liu Bei anymore, and he immediately rushed to Xiapi with the remnants of the army.
Besides, when Liu Bei learned that Lu Bujun was defeated by Cao Cao in a blink of an eye, he was very helpless and thought: 'Could it be that you will die me one day?' ’
At this time, Cao Cao also gathered all the armies under his command and assembled outside the West Gate.
Seeing this scene, Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son under Liu Bei, immediately decided to open the city and surrender, because they were no longer optimistic about Liu Bei's future in Xuzhou.
After Chen Gui and Chen Deng had discussed, they immediately secretly deployed to ask Cao Cao to surrender.
At this time, after Cao Cao defeated Lü Bu's army, he immediately gathered his generals to prepare for a night attack on Pengcheng, and he planned to drive Liu Bei out of Xuzhou in one go.
After dark.
Before Cao Cao could attack, the letter of surrender from Chen Gui and Chen Deng's father and son was delivered to Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao read the letter of invitation from the Chen family and his son, he immediately decided to postpone the attack for one night, because the casualties of the assault were obviously much more than those of Youneying Kaicheng.
