Chapter 10: The Siege
On the way back to camp
Deng Ai, who was on the side, thought for a long time, but couldn't help it, and couldn't help asking: "Major General, is the ambush soldier in the forest General Zhou Cang?" ”
Hearing this, Guan Ping turned his head, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, how can there be any ambush!" ”
"That's just a dozen sergeants!"
Before the words fell, more than 100 people were shocked, and there were only more than ten people, so doesn't that mean that they escaped the catastrophe?
Originally, everyone thought that Guan Ping's previous provocation under the city was confident, and the reason was that he had already arranged an ambush.
However, now the truth is ...... Really unexpected!
At this moment, Deng Ai had only one thought in his heart, the young general's courage was really outstanding, and he had the demeanor of a father!
You must know that if the Cao army in the city is really killed, then there will be no room for resistance among the more than 100 of them.
It's just that Guan Ping is domineering this time, with his own calmness and courage, he is suspicious, so that Lu Chang does not dare to act rashly!
Not to mention anything else, just this courage and strategy, Deng Ai felt that he was also ashamed of himself.
Hearing Guan Ping's words, Pang De on the other side was also completely sober at the moment, his body trembled suddenly, and he was shocked: "This son is brave and strategic, not only courageous, but also arrogant and impatient, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than Guan Yu in the future!" ”
At this moment, Pang De suddenly felt that Guan Yu's threat to Wei was far lower than Guan Ping's.
Although Guan Yu has good abilities in all aspects, he has a fatal flaw, that is, he is arrogant and extremely poor in life.
On the other hand, Guan Ping not only did not directly attack the city under the city this time, but shook the heart of his army with a few words, such a character is undoubtedly the most terrifying!
Immediately, Guan Ping didn't care what Pang De thought, he shouted, and said: "Collect the troops and return to the camp, gather the soldiers and horses, and prepare to attack the city!" ”
When the order was laid, more than 100 people returned to the camp with reverence in their eyes.
………
Hanshui Barracks, main tent
"General Yu Ban, you have joined our army for the first time, and you have not made an inch, so I will consider it at my discretion and specially order you to be the vanguard of this siege and take Xiangyang."
"As long as you take Xiangyang, you will definitely be a cousin and ask for credit for you!"
At this moment, the generals listened attentively to Guan Ping's order, thinking that the heavy task of attacking the city would fall on their heads, but when the words fell, the crowd was directly confused.
"This ...... What the hell is the major general doing, actually attacking the city with a general? ”
At this moment, all the generals didn't understand Guan Ping's intentions, and secretly talked and complained.
After all, although Yu Ban also surrendered, it was only a last resort, if he really wanted Yu Ban to really deal with Cao Jun for himself, it was impossible!
It must be known that Yu Ban has followed Cao Cao for more than 30 years, and with this sentiment alone, he will not contribute to attacking Cao's army, unless it is almost the same as attacking Eastern Wu.
Hearing this, Zhou Cang resolutely stood up and said proudly: "Major General, please fight, be sure to take ......"
However, Guan Ping waved his hand to stop him from asking for battle, and turned to look at Yu Ban, who was still shocked, and smiled: "General Yu, what do you think?" ”
"Forbidden talents are sparse and shallow, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility!"
"Haha!" Guan Ping laughed and said slowly: "Yu Wenze, you followed Cao Thief in your early years, Xuzhou broke Lu Bu, Nanyang descended Zhang Xiu, and Yuan Shao in Guandu Town, majestic and impressive. ”
"If a general like you can say that you are talented, then I am afraid that there will be no more generals in the world."
Hearing this, Yu Ban seemed to pretend not to hear the praise, and said to himself: "The general of the defeated army, how dare you speak bravely?" ”
"Yu Ban, the young general can afford you, so he asked you to lead the army to attack Xiangyang, what are you shirking, are you surrendering by fraud?"
At this moment, Deng Ai had already understood, and suddenly stood up and shouted, singing and harmonizing with Guan Ping.
Seeing this, Guan Ping contemplated and said slowly: "Shizai, don't be impatient, I believe in General Yu's character, he is not the kind of villain who goes to the twilight." ”
After a pause, his eyes were fixed on Yu Ban, and he said solemnly: "General Yu, your ability cannot be underestimated, you can be a general, my father is a famous general in the world, and you are not ashamed to lose in his hands." ”
"There are only a handful of people in this world who can surpass my father!"
At this moment, Guan Ping's eyes were attentive and he said tightly.
Immediately, Guan Ping said again: "General Yu, you will be the vanguard in the capture of Xiangyang this time, and you will lead your old troops to attack the city at that time." ”
"I believe that with you in command of the old troops, they will be able to exert their strong combat power and pull out Xiangyang."
When the words fell, Yu Zhi's body was suddenly shocked unconsciously, and his heart trembled, and then he was instantly frightened!
"Okay, generals, go back to the camp and get ready to attack the city tomorrow!"
In the blink of an eye, the generals left, and Zhou Cang also left the main tent with Yu Ban.
After a while, Deng Ai returned to the main tent, Guan Ping pondered, and asked, "Shizai, do you think Yu Ban will cooperate well tomorrow?" ”
Hearing this, Deng Ai pondered and did not answer immediately, and then said, "Less... General, Yu... Prohibit... He didn't want to, but he didn't dare to disobey! ”
"I'm afraid of death... has become his weakness now, and he will never dare to disobey it. ”
With Deng Ai's approval, Guan Ping became more and more confident in this plan, his eyes relaxed, and he muttered: "I have made so many pre-war preparations. ”
"Xiangyang, I'm bound to win!"
The next day, the fourth watch made rice, the faint light of the Han River bank was already thick smoke, the fifth watch in the soldiers in turn after breakfast, then rushed into formation, straight to Xiangyang City.
Under the city of Xiangyang, the north gate
At this moment, all the soldiers were arrayed, Guan Ping was wearing armor and a war horse on his hips, and ordered in a loud voice: "The crossbowman stepped forward and stood with a bow!" ”
When the order was passed, more than a thousand crossbowmen did not dare to slack off, and immediately stepped forward with bows, aiming in the direction of the city gate.
"Deng Ai, issue weapons to prisoners of war."
"No!"
After receiving the order, Deng Ai did not delay, and immediately commanded the soldiers with a knife to start distributing them in turn.
After a long time, Guan Ping looked at Yu Ban from the side and said, "General Yu, lead the army to attack the city!" ”
The words fell, like a tailwind, and disappeared in a flash, and Yu Ban ignored it at all.
Seeing this, Guan Ping's face suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "General Yu, you have to think clearly, my Han does not raise idlers, if he does not make an inch, it means that he has no effect." ”
"In the future, it is impossible to live in peace."
"Of course, General Yu can continue to insist, but the siege of the city is not only something you can complete, even if you don't want to, there are still people to replace you."
As he said this, Guan Ping's eyes were still flying in other directions, as if he was guiding something.
Seeing this, Yu Ban looked at Guan Ping's gaze, and suddenly couldn't help but feel his heart sink.
"Pound is actually wearing the armor of the Han army, is it?"
At this moment, Yu Ban already had a guess in his heart, and secretly muttered: "No wonder Guan Ping is so confident, it turns out that Pang De has surrendered." ”
"That is to say, even if he is missing me now, he can let Pound lead the prisoners of war to attack the city and achieve his goal?"
Next, Yu Ban's face was tense and he didn't say a word, as if he was thinking.
At this moment, Guan Ping's face remained unchanged, waiting quietly, and a moment later, just as he was about to burst into anger.
"Major General, Yu Ban is willing to lead the army to attack the city, and I hope it will be fulfilled!"
