Chapter 279: Surrender (2)
Cao Xing has to admit one thing, that is, there is a serious shortage of generals under his current command, although the three of them, like Chen Hu, Zhou Cang, Hu Che'er, can be a qualified general, but there is still a big gap compared with those top generals.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, all of them are fierce generals in the world, and they have the courage of ten thousand people, if they really wait for them to enter the barracks, and the barracks is a place to worship the strong, the two of them want to control the army at the bottom, it is not a minute, it is Zhou Cang Hucheer who can't resist it at all. So if it is really a merger, in the end, the military power will fall into Liu Bei's hands, as soon as he thinks of this, Cao Xingqi will not fight, his eyes like eagles and falcons have already stared at Liu Bei who was riding a fast horse in front.
"Bring me my bow and arrows." Cao Xuan said directly to Zhou Cang next to him, Zhou Cang understood, and immediately brought a bow and arrow with Hu Che'er, and then the two squatted on the ground in front of them, each holding one end of the bow and arrow, and showed the part of the bowstring in front of Cao Xing, and Cao Xuan pulled up an arrow with his only right hand. Then he aimed at Liu Bei, who was running in front.
Although Cao Xuan is seriously injured now, as long as someone assists, even if he only relies on one hand, Cao Xing's bow and arrow skills will not have any regression, Cao Xing's eyes are full of fire when he looks at Liu Bei, he aims at the head of the arrow, slightly leaning towards Liu Bei's right, and then at a certain moment, the sharp arrow is out of the sheath and roars towards Liu Bei's head.
Now that he and Liu Bei are only two hundred steps apart, Cao Xing is sure that if he shoots this arrow, Liu Bei will definitely have his head blooming, but at this moment, Zhang Fei Guan Yu, who was beside Liu Bei, seemed to hear this sound of breaking the air, and both of them were shocked in their hearts.
Guan Yu didn't say a word, he directly used one arm to pull Liu Bei's horse alive, and Zhang Fei exploded, and he actually blocked Liu Bei's body, the arrow passed directly through Zhang Fei's back, Zhang Fei's whole person seemed to be a little unable to withstand the strength of the arrow, and was shot off the horse.
Seeing this scene Liu Bei was really frightened, the whole person stiffened on the horseback and was at a loss, he didn't expect that he brushed shoulders with death, and Guan Yu next to him, after all, was born as a military general, and he was still relatively calm at the moment, he first immediately turned the horse's head and blocked in front of Liu Bei, and then shouted loudly to the soldiers around him.
"Quickly rescue my third brother, and all the others come to protect the lord!"
When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they immediately moved, instantly blocking Liu Beiwei's water, and Zhang Fei also stood up with a shout.
Then I saw that from the jungle next to me, countless sharp arrows roared out and shot directly at Liu Bei's soldiers. Guan Yu asked the soldiers to help Zhang Fei on the horse, and then let Zhang Fei and Liu Bei go first, after he came to break off, in the face of this dense surveillance, Guan Yu blocked behind alone, only to see his eyes burning, one hand caressing his three-foot beard, the other hand holding the Qinglong Yanyue knife, brushing a few knife flashes, and the arrows close to him were all dialed and withered.
The archers under Cao Xing shot at least five rounds of arrows, and the soldiers who stayed behind were blinded by the black light, where could they see the direction of the arrows, so most of them were shot by the arrows, and then fell to the ground and kept screaming.
But only these arrows shot at Guan Yu seemed to be unable to hit Guan Yu at all, even the horses under Guan Yu's crotch were well protected by Guan Yu, a few rounds of arrows down, Guan Yu was not shot by an arrow, and Guan Yu saw that Zhang Fei and Liu Bei behind him had almost gone away, and they also turned the horse's head and left quickly.
Seeing this, the root of Cao Xingqi's teeth itched, and he punched directly into the wheelchair where he was sitting. He didn't expect his plan to be so seamless, but there was still a mistake, and Liu Bei escaped again.
"Lord, do you want me to lead people to chase after me!" Zhou Cang and Hu Che'er said to Cao Xingqi in unison, but Cao Xuan also calmed down at the moment, thought for a moment, and finally rejected the proposal of the two of them. Then he said to the two of them: "Go to Liu Bei's military camp first and see if there are any gains!" ”
After a short time, Chen Hu and others rode horses to find Cao Xing, and then took Cao Xing into Liu Bei's military camp, and at this moment Liu Bei's military camp was in a depressed atmosphere. You can see that the ground is bright red, there are countless dead and wounded, and as for the people who survived, they have all been controlled by Chen Hu.
Chen Hu pushed Cao Xuan to Liu Bei's military camp, after all, Liu Bei was still the commander of the foreign army, so even if he captured his military tent, Chen Hu ordered the soldiers to protect the things inside until Cao Xuan came.
Cao Xuan entered Liu Bei's military tent and looked around first, and then looked at a brazier, there seemed to be a little curling smoke rising at this moment, it was obvious that the fire had just been extinguished not long ago, there were some pieces of paper in the fire, but it was not completely burned, Chen Hu quickly took out the only remaining pieces of paper, and then handed them to Cao Xing's hand.
These shredded papers have been burned like this, and it is definitely impossible to know what was written in them before, but Cao Xing saw a Shao character in the last corner of this shredded paper, and there was a prototype of half a Yuan character in front of it.
Seeing this, Cao Xing's heart instantly understood, he originally thought that the reason why Liu Bei led the army was because he was afraid that Cao Xing would take advantage of the situation and directly enter his Pingyuan County, but he never expected that this Liu Bei had already had an affair with Yuan Shao, thinking about it, Liu Bei in history had taken refuge in Yuan Shao.
And Yuan Shao's attitude towards Liu Bei is not bad, it can be seen that Liu Bei and Yuan Shao should have known each other for a long time, seeing this, Cao Xing only felt that his heart was on fire, no matter whether he was assassinated or not Liu Bei did it, anyway, it is absolutely inseparable from Liu Bei, since this Liu Bei died so early, then Cao Xing is not polite.
"Chen Hu!"
"In!"
"You don't have to go back to Merge Prefecture first, Rick will lead me to lead the army south and attack the plains directly!"
"Yes!"
Liu Bei hurriedly returned to Pingyuan County with people, after returning to his own territory, Liu Bei immediately counted the casualties, this time he brought out 10,000 soldiers and horses, it can be said that he brought out all the belongings, but only more than 3,000 people came back alive, and Zhang Fei was also shot with an arrow, although there is no danger of life, but also need to recuperate for a period of time to heal.
Seeing the sigh in Liu Bei's heart here, if he had known that if he had known that he would provoke Cao Xing, the consequences would be so serious, he would have ignored Yuan Shao, after all, it was important to save his life.
However, Liu Bei's emotion was not finished, and suddenly a spy came to report to Cao Xing, and directly led the soldiers and horses to attack the city, and now it is only twenty miles away from Pingyuan County.
Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect that this Cao Xing's revenge was so great, the plain is his current base, Cao Xing is tantamount to copying his old nest together.
It is obviously impossible for Liu Bei to give up his hard-won territory, and now he has finally controlled the entire Pingyuan County through his series of means, and has won a good number of people's hearts, he must not give up, so he also quickly calmed down.
Liu Bei went directly to the barracks to appease the remaining soldiers, so that they should not panic, Liu Bei said to these soldiers, Cao Xing has no way, and he actually came to fight him indiscriminately Liu Bei, the division is unknown, Cao Xing is an unrighteous division, he will not win this war, and secondly, he also explained that all Cao Xing's subordinates are cavalry, and it is probably unprecedented to attack the city with cavalry, so Cao Xing will definitely not be able to defeat Pingyuan County.
When Liu Bei said this, his soldiers were really quiet, and they had some confidence in the war, only to see that these soldiers all picked up their weapons one by one, stood on the head of the city again, and watched Cao Xing's army coming, just waiting for Cao Xing's army to attack the city.
However, two days passed, Liu Bei was a little confused, Cao Xing was just out of the army, and he was surrounded but not fought in Pingyuan County, he was a little confused about Cao Xing's intentions, but in the end he comforted himself that Cao Xing was just a momentary anger, and when Cao Xing realized that he could not take Pingyuan County, he would automatically withdraw his troops.
However, after only two days, Liu Bei was a little frightened, because he found that from behind Cao Xing, another soldier and horse poured out, and most of the soldiers and horses were made up of infantry and archers. And this army is also quite peculiar, even in the war, they do not forget to bring a strand of cloth made of yellow scarves on their heads, which is obviously a black mountain yellow scarf.
Zhang Yan and Pan Feng have been following Cao Xing's troops, fighting the autumn wind in the past places in the back, most of Cao Xing's men are cavalry, Cao Xing naturally can't let the cavalry attack the city, and it is impossible for all the cavalry to dismount and become infantry, so it's time for Zhang Yan and Pan Feng to contribute.
Zhang Yan and Pan Feng went to visit Cao Xuan as soon as possible, seeing that Cao Xing's injury was so serious, Zhang Yan and Pan Feng were also indignant, while Cao Xuan smiled indifferently and said to the two of them.
"Two brothers, don't be angry here, if you can quickly defeat Pingyuan County, you will avenge my Cao Xing, and I Cao Xuan will be grateful!"
"Where did the lord say, then Liu Bei dared to plot against you, I, Pan Feng, would be the first to climb up to the city and cut off his dog's head!" Pan Feng said directly with a clenched fist.
And Zhang Yan also arched his hand and said: "Lord, you just say how to fight now, we are all at your disposal!" ”
Listening to the words of these two people, Cao Xing also smiled and nodded, and then began to dispatch troops, and in the early morning of the third day, a battle began.
The previous Yellow Turban Army was vulnerable, and even Liu Bei used to specialize in cleaning up these Yellow Turban Army, but now the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro has good equipment, and it has also been trained by Pan Feng, and its combat effectiveness is no longer comparable to that of the past.
So when he first saw the neat queue of the Yellow Turban Army and the terrifying murderous aura, Liu Bei was at a loss. He seemed to be a little puzzled, was this still the Yellow Turban Army he knew?
