After Han Xuan captured Xiapi, he left Zhang Cheng and Jiang Qin to defend the city, and continued to lead the army to attack Pengcheng and Xiaopei, wanting to attack Huainan from the rear and attack Chen Wu in front and back.

The guard of Pengcheng is Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge birthday, Han Xuan led the army to surround Pengcheng, and people persuaded Zhuge to surrender. Zhuge Dan guarded the city gate and refused to surrender.

Han Xuan had no choice but to come to the city in person under the escort of Zhou Tai and other generals to persuade Zhuge to surrender: "Zhuge is on leave, your brother is the prime minister of the new Han Dynasty, but you are against Wei, how foolish!" Now I am here with a large army, why don't you turn against me and help me to defeat Wei, and in the coming day I will be a marquis and a general, and I will glorify my ancestors. ”

Han Xuan remembered that Zhuge Dan rebelled against the Sima family and attacked Wei with Eastern Wu in history, and thought that it was very simple to persuade Zhuge to surrender.

Zhuge Dan heard that Han Xuan was good at using soldiers and had firearms to help, and when he heard Han Xuan's words, he hesitated. Seeing this, the general Wu Gang hurriedly persuaded: "The general must not listen to Han Xuan's words, the general's family is all in the Wei State, and if he betrays him, he will be punished." ”

After Wu Gang's reminder, Zhuge Dan suddenly came back to his senses, and ordered the archers in the city to hurriedly release arrows to shoot Han Xuan.

Han Xuan hurriedly turned the horse's head, and Zhou Tai blocked in front of Han Xuan and struggled to drop the arrows that were shot, but unexpectedly, there were a lot of arrows in the city, and Zhou Tai fell from the horse with an arrow. The left protector Liuzan hurriedly led the shield soldiers to block the arrows and save Zhou Tai.

Han Xuan urgently ordered the military medical officer to treat Zhou Tai, and ordered the generals Tang Shi and Wang Zuo to lead the army to storm Pengcheng. Han Xuanda's army used firearms for a long-range attack, and the Wei army in the city suffered heavy casualties.

Zhuge Dan wanted to abandon the city and break through, but the general Jiang Ban persuaded: "The sky is full of dark clouds, and there will be a downpour in a short time, and the enemy's firearms are not available." When the governor heard that Pengcheng was besieged, he would also lead reinforcements to rescue him. The general only needs to stick to this city, Han Xuan's siege of the city is unfavorable, and he will definitely retreat. ”

Zhuge Dan listened to Jiang Ban's words and ordered the sergeants to guard the city gate.

At dusk, it was pouring rain from the sky, and Han Xuanjun's firearms could not be used. Tang Shi and Wang Zuo collected their troops and came back, saying that the siege was not good.

Zhuge Jin suggested: "It's raining today, firearms are useless, and Pengcheng is easy to attack and difficult to defend, so it's useless to take it." It is better to lead the army to the south to attack Pei and Jiujiang. ”

Han Xuan shook his head and said, "I'm not here to take Pengcheng, but to recruit Zhuge Dan." The Northern Expedition of our army is at the time of employing people, and I keep it for its own use. ”

"Zhuge is my brother, why don't you go and persuade me to surrender in the future?" Zhuge Jin said.

Han Xuan waved his hand and said, "Before today's battle, I didn't want to surrender, but I was worried. In the coming day, the army will storm Pengcheng! ”

The next day, the rain still did not stop, Han Xuan commanded the army to attack the city with trebuchets and ladders, and after a tragic offensive and defensive battle, Pengcheng was finally breached.

Zhuge Dan led thousands of elite horsemen from the south gate to kill a road, and after his subordinates broke off Wu Gang, they were beheaded by Han Xuanzuo's protectors, Jiang Ban was captured by Chen Xiusheng, and Zhuge Dan only led hundreds of remnants of the army to flee to the south in a hurry. Han Xuan taught the generals not to chase after them, and entered Pengcheng to appease the surrendered army.

Zhuge Dan was fleeing the road, and met reinforcements sent by the governor of Yangzhou, led by Zhu Ling, a veteran of Wei. Zhuge Dan saw Zhu Ling and hurriedly said: "General Zhu, let's go, Pengcheng has been lost, and Han Xuan's army is unstoppable!" ”

"Gutsless rats! Thou shalt stay in my army and see how I break Han Xuan. Zhu Ling despised Zhuge Dao.

Zhu Ling and Zhuge Dan led the army to the city of Pengcheng, and the soldiers of Zhu Ling sect lined up according to the formation method and sent the general Wang Chang to the city to call the formation.

Han Xuan and Zhuge Jin went up to the city tower to watch, only to see Zhu Ling sitting firmly on the platform, and Ling Wang Ji, Huan Jia and other generals saw that they ordered the banner to lead the army to change formation.

"Who is Zhu Ling, who can set up such a delicate array?" Han Xuan asked Zhuge Jin.

"Zhu Ling, a native of Qinghe, Jizhou. At first, he was a general of Yuan Shao, and later returned to Cao Cao. Cao Cao often hated Zhu Ling and wanted to seize his military power, and later put him under the ban. Zhuge Jin introduced.

Han Xuan also knew less about this Zhu Ling, and even Cao Cao was afraid of him, and he didn't dare to let him lead the troops alone every time, which showed that Zhu Ling still had some skills.

Han Xuan carefully looked at Zhu Ling's military formation again, and couldn't see any clues. At this time, the Wei general Wang Ji raised his gun and shouted at the city tower: "Han Xuan, this is the Nine Palaces and Seven Killing Formations set up by General Zhu Ling, if you have the courage, you will come to the battle!" ”

Han Xuan scolded with a smile: "This king has been fighting horses for half his life, and he has attacked and deployed countless arrays. What is the 'Nine Palaces and Seven Killing Arrays', this king has never heard of! ”

Han Xuan looked around at the generals behind him and asked, "Who dares to lead the troops to explore this formation?" ”

"The last general Zhou He wishes!" A general in the squad led the troops out of the city and rushed straight into the Zhu Ling array.

As soon as Zhou He led his troops into the formation, the formation was immediately closed, and Zhu Ling waved the command flag, and the formation immediately changed. Zhou He led the army to rush and kill in the formation, killing more than 100 enemies.

But the Wei army did not advance but retreated, retreated to the edge of the formation and surrounded it with heavy shields. Zhou He looked at Zhu Ling's banner, and saw that the defense there was weak, so he led the army to kill him.

When Zhou He arrived, he found that Zhu Ling was not here at all. At this time, a drum sounded, and seven military horses suddenly appeared around Zhu Ling's army array, directly scattering Zhou He's soldiers and horses. Zhou Heshu fought to the death, but he was outnumbered. Not long after, Zhou He and more than 1,000 soldiers led by him were all killed.

Zhuge Jin saw that Zhou He's battle flag had fallen in the city, and he couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead. From rushing to being annihilated, it took less than a cup of tea.

Han Xuan looked at it with a telescope and laughed: "Hahaha~ The power of this array is really amazing." It's a pity that Zhu Ling didn't get the essence of this array, if I set up this array, the power will be increased by more than ten times! ”

Han Xuan summoned Chen Xiu and told him in detail how to break the formation, and asked Chen Xiu to lead the army out of the city to break the formation. Zhou Tai came with an injury at this time, and bowed to Han Xuan: "Chen Xiu's experience is still shallow, and the last general is willing to go with him, thinking that he should take care of it." ”

Han Xuan disagreed with Zhou Tai and asked him to recuperate from his injuries. Who knew that Zhou Tai said: "The battlefield died in battle, and the horse leather shroud is the best destination for soldiers, and the last general is old, and he does not want to be on the sickbed but is alive, and I hope the king will be fulfilled!" ”

Han Xuan repeatedly dissuaded him, but Zhou Tai disobeyed the order and led the army to kill Zhu Ling's army with Chen Xiu.

"Wei Yuan, you lead two hundred shield bearers to form a tortoiseshell formation, and go west to attract enemy crossbowmen to attack."

"Han Liang and Zhu Zong, the two of you led fifty musketeers and one hundred rattan players to save each other, hoping that the enemy would move in the direction of the banner, but when you saw the enemy soldiers, they immediately shot and killed."

"The rest of the men will follow me straight to the east to kill the drums of war!"

As soon as Chen Xiu entered the battle, he and several subordinates ordered the battle plan.

Chen Xiu and Zhou Tai led the army straight to the east, and the Wei army's heavy shield men surrounded it thickly. Chen Xiu still rushed forward without stopping, and the pikemen behind the heavy shield men of the Wei army burst out.

Chen Xiulema stopped, waved the Formation Breaking Overlord Spear and swept it over, and all the heads of the Wei army's spears were swept off. Chen Xiu put away his gun and circled around his waist and abdomen, and suddenly stabbed out, and a Wei army heavy shield man was directly shot out by the company with a shield.

Chen Xiu jumped up on his horse, rushed through the cracks, and swept away several Wei soldiers. Zhou Tai led the army to follow closely, and the few elite cavalry tore open a gap, and a large number of New Han infantry troops rushed over, and the Wei army's heavy shield hand was routed and left.

Chen Xiu rushed out and tried to find that the outside was indeed as Han Xuan said, and there was still a while. And in the center of the war drum, the drummer is beating the war drum to warn the various parts of the formation.

Chen Xiu took the lead, rushed straight over, and shot the drummer away. Chen Xiu hurriedly dismounted and jumped on the drum platform, picked up the drumstick and beat it randomly, and the Wei army suddenly became irregular when he heard the drums, and he immediately panicked.

When Chen Xiu was beating the drum hard, he didn't notice that the two Wei army strong crossbowmen behind him were pointing crossbow arrows at him. Seeing this, Zhou Tai hurriedly flew to block Chen Xiu, and used his knife to pull away a crossbow arrow aimed at Chen Xiu, but the other crossbow arrow just hit the location of Zhou Tai's old wound.

Zhou Tai fainted at that time, Chen Xiu hurriedly helped Zhou Tai up, and then threw the overlord gun in his hand at the two Wei crossbowmen, the two had no time to escape, and were directly pierced by the overlord gun.

"Come on, help General Zhoutai get on the horse!" After Zhou Tai woke up, Chen Xiu hurriedly ordered two sergeants to protect Zhou Tai.

Chen Xiu turned over his horse, went over and pulled out the overlord gun, and then led the army to kill back, charging and killing the Wei army that had already commanded chaos. In order to regain the stability of the formation, Zhu Ling had to show up, but Chen Xiu discovered his position.

Seeing that Chen Xiurui was unstoppable, Zhu Ling hurriedly hid in the formation. Chen Xiu stuck the overlord gun on the ground, took a bow and an arrow and shot it directly, Zhu Ling was shot in the face by an arrow, and died on the spot.

Han Xuan saw the Wei army retreating from the city, and knew that the Nine Palaces Seven Killing Array had been broken, so he urgently ordered the military horses in the city to kill together, and the Wei army was defeated. Zhuge was captured in the chaotic army, and the Wei army surrendered countless people.
