CHAPTER XXVIII

Under the Dancing Yin City! Zhang Xiu, Liu Biao's coalition army lined up in a neat phalanx, and the formation was shouting at the Cao army in the city!

Cao Ren Pifu, can you dare to go out of the city to fight a certain battle?

Located at the forefront of the coalition army, a general holding a Panshan knife, sitting on a war horse, its crotch war horse is abnormal, as if feeling the master's war will, sometimes raise the head and neigh twice, sometimes the front hooves plow the ground, look at its appearance, as long as the master gives an order to help the master kill the enemy general!

This general is none other than Liu Pan, the main general of Jingzhou soldiers and horses, Liu Pan is good at using long knives, his strength is outstanding, his arms are thousands of equal strength, and a big knife will have the courage of ten thousand people!

Liu Pan is going to be arrogant, wait for someone to go and get your head!

If you want to quickly win battle merits on the battlefield, it is the best way to capture the flag, yes, Liu Pan's voice just fell, Cao Ren has not yet spoken, and a member of the Cao Jun colonel behind him is a loud shout, and after speaking, without waiting for Cao Ren to agree, he has turned around and stepped down the city tower!

…………!

Liu Pan saw that the person who came was just a member of Cao Jun's junior colonel, and he didn't take it to heart at all, so he didn't even bother to say the cliché of the general who came to be famous and a certain person who did not kill the unknown under the knife, and pointed with a long knife in his hand, come and lead the death quickly!

That Cao Jun Xiaoxiao had a fiery personality, and at this time, seeing Liu Pan despise himself so much, he was even more angry, shouted and killed, and then slapped the horse and danced the halberd towards Liu Pan to kill!

The halberd can be described as the true king of a hundred soldiers, it can be like a gun, blocking, taking, piercing, stabbing, or slashing horizontally and vertically like a knife, if it can make a good halberd, it will be a first-class fierce general, and vice ......versa!

Cao Jun's junior colonel was obviously not a first-class general, and the menacing halberd was easily pushed away by Liu Pan with a knife, and even the war horse under his crotch did not move at all!

Seeing this, Colonel Cao Jun was not discouraged, and after the war horse rushed forward for a distance, he turned the reins of the horse and killed Liu Pan again!

Seeing this, Liu Pan still did not dodge or dodge, and when the long halberd in Colonel Cao Jun's hand was about to get closer, Liu Pan suddenly struck, and the long knife in his hand slanted from bottom to top like lightning, but it was the last to come!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Colonel Cao Jun hurriedly changed his moves, and retracted his hands with both hands, and the halberd in his hand was horizontal to his chest, resisting Liu Pan's knife!

Yes! With a cruel scream, the long halberd rod in Colonel Cao Jun's hand was cut in two by Liu Pan, and a wound about two inches long was cut at Zuo Le, but fortunately, the wound was not deep and he did not lose his life!

Cao Jun's junior colonel was slashed by Liu Pan after only two combinations, and the halberd was also cut in two, knowing that he was not Liu Pan's opponent, he did not dare to continue to fight with Liu Pan, and when Liu Pan collected the knife, he hurriedly patted his horse and galloped back to the city!

Seeing this, Liu Pan was unwilling to give in, shouted where to escape, and then chased after the war horse under his crotch!

Colonel Cao Jun knew that Liu Pan was chasing, but he didn't dare to turn his head to look at the current crisis, so he only beat the horse and galloped wildly!

Cao Ren on the city tower saw the real thing, Liu Pan was fast, only a dozen breaths had chased behind Cao Jun, Cao Ren was about to open his mouth to remind, but Liu Pan was up and down, and the head of the Cao Jun Colonel had already left the body, leaving only a headless body that ran forward with the war horse for dozens of meters before it was carried to the ground!

Cao Ren Pifu, is there no one in the city, and this kind of character dares to go out of the city to fight with the general?

After Liu Pan killed Junior Colonel Cao Jun, he grabbed the war horse again, pointed the long knife in his hand at Cao Ren, and continued to make provocative remarks!

Fighting before the battle is the best way to improve morale, the winning side is naturally morale high, the soldiers can play a super combat effectiveness, although the losing side will not be defeated, but it will also lose morale, a person can only play a maximum of eight points!

Cao Ren also knew about this situation, but there was no one in the city who could compete with Liu Pan, even Cao Ren himself was not sure that he could defeat that Liu Pan, so he had no choice but to snort coldly and said, Hmph, as a general, you should be in the middle of the strategy and the battle, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and it is not the general to fight before the battle like you!

What Cao Ren said was indeed the style of a general, but Liu Pan didn't care, he just laughed and said, Cao Ren don't want to say much, if you don't dare to fight with the general, then hurry up and open the door and surrender!

…………!

Ren Liu Pan provoked in every way, but Cao Ren was unmoved, but just ordered everyone under his command to prepare to defend the city!

Seeing this, Liu Pan did not continue to call for the battle, turned his horse back to the formation, discussed with Zhang Xiu, and then drew a long knife, shouted, beat the drum, and attack the city!

…………!

On the outskirts of Niyang, the Cao army camp!

In Cao Ang's big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Ang, Guo Jia, Le Jin, and Li Dian were deliberating, and after listening to the situation that Scout Yuming had inquired about, Cao Ang laughed and said! God help me, Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao are not intimate!

Hehe, as the general expected, Zhang Xiu still took precautions against Liu Biao, if nothing else, Liu Biao must have other plans! Guo Jia also smiled after hearing this!

…………!

According to the situation found by the scouts, Cao Ang also has a general understanding of the current situation of the coalition forces and Nanyang!

Although the battle of Wancheng in the first month ended with Cao Cao's defeat, however, Zhang Xiu also suffered a lot of losses, Zhang Xiu is not like Cao Cao, Cao Cao occupies nearly two states, and the loss of thousands of soldiers and horses did not hurt Cao Cao's vitality, but Zhang Xiu only has a territory of less than one county, and the loss of 3,000 men and horses is already a nerve!

Since the end of the battle of Wancheng, Zhang Xiu forcibly recruited strong men into the army, fortunately, Nanyang is the largest county in the world, densely populated, after some coercion and temptation, Zhang Xiu also recruited 5,000 soldiers and horses!

After Zhang Xiu finished conscripting the army, while ordering people to step up the training of new soldiers, he sent an envoy to tell Liu Biao, saying that as long as Liu Biao sent troops to help him recover Nanyang, he would be attached to Liu Biao!

After some discussion with his subordinates, Liu Biao agreed to Zhang Xiu's request, and sent his nephew Liu Pan to lead an army of 10,000 to help Zhang Xiu!

Zhang Xiu and the newly recruited strong men were only 13,000 people, leaving 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison everywhere, leading the remaining 8,000 soldiers and horses to join Liu Biao's 10,000 soldiers and horses, falsely claiming 30,000 to the outside world, and went straight to Wuyin!

Originally, Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao had already agreed that all the grain and grass of Jingzhou soldiers and horses would be supplied by Zhang Xiu, but after Liu Jingzhou's soldiers and horses entered Nanyang, Zhang Xiu had not enough grain and grass as an excuse, and only provided half of the grain and grass needed by Jingzhou soldiers and horses!

Liu Biao was not angry when he found out, and said that it was important to repel Cao Cao, and the remaining half of the grain and grass would be transported to Nanyang by him Liu Biao himself!

…………!

After learning of this situation, Cao Ang and Guo Jia analyzed that Zhang Xiu was afraid that after providing enough grain and grass to the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, Liu Biao directly ordered someone to attack Zhang Xiu from behind, so that Zhang Xiu would fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on his back!

If another half of the grain and grass are transported from Jingzhou to Nanyang, as long as Zhang Xiu finds that it is wrong, he can order the soldiers and horses stationed in the rear to cut off the grain route of Jingzhou soldiers and horses, so that Jingzhou soldiers and horses will fall into a situation of lack of food, and at that time, Zhang Xiu can move according to the situation!

As for Liu Biao, Cao Ang and Guo Jia guessed that Liu Biao wanted to stabilize Zhang Xiu, so that Zhang Xiu could continue to fight with Cao Jun, and when Zhang Xiujun and Cao Jun were both defeated, Liu Biao only needed to send a few soldiers and horses to join forces with Nanyang's Jingzhou Soldiers and Horses to take Nanyang in one fell swoop!

After a brief analysis by Cao Ang and Guo Jia, Cao Ang informed Le Jin and Li Dian of his thoughts!

Cao Ang discussed with Guo Jia a few days ago, and led more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to detour to the rear of the coalition army, and took advantage of the emptiness of the rear of the coalition army to pretend to be the Jingzhou army to attack and harass the rest of the county seats, so that Zhang Xiu mistakenly thought that Liu Biao was trying to capture Nanyang! At the same time, take this opportunity to let Cao Cao send an envoy to surrender Zhang Xiu!

If Zhang Xiu agrees, it is the best, if he does not agree, he will also make Zhang Xiu suspicious of Liu Biao!

At present, Zhang Xiu is already wary of Liu Biao, and Cao Ang will get twice the result with half the effort if he attacks from behind!

…………!

After listening to Le Jin and Li Dian, Le Jin objected, no, how can the general be in danger if he is the master of an army, or should the last general act on behalf of the general!

After Le Jin finished speaking, Guo Jia said with a smile, General Le is too worried, General Cao is the chief general appointed by the lord, there is no way to hide this, if General Cao does not appear at the head of Wuyin City at that time, wouldn't it be suspicious?

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Cao Ang knew what Guo Jia meant as soon as he groaned, and said to Le Jin with a smile, yes, General Wenqian, I must let Zhang Xiu and everyone see that Ben will appear on the Wuyin city wall, and this matter is very certain!

After Cao Ang finished speaking, regardless of whether Le Jin knew the meaning of this or not, he immediately ordered, early tomorrow morning, the whole army will speed up to Wuyin!
