Chapter 774: Cao Ren Defeats Fancheng (Middle)
Gao Lan starry night hurried, suddenly saw the wind and dust in front of him, Gao Lan looked overlooked, and saw the flag of the army. Gao Ran was overjoyed and hurriedly rode his horse and rushed away.
Cao Ren was leading his troops forward, when he suddenly saw a group of remnants rushing towards him, Cao Ren frowned, and suddenly had a sense of foreboding in his heart, so he ordered the front army to stop. Gao Ran's figure gradually became clear, and Cao Ren saw that he was so embarrassed, only to feel that the ominous premonition was immediately fulfilled, and he was unconsciously anxious, and asked in a hurry.
"General Gao, why are you here! Could it be that Fancheng !!? ”
"Don't panic! Fancheng should not be lost yet. A few days ago, I was leading my troops back to Fancheng to rescue. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the realm of Fancheng, he was ambushed by Tai Shici, and most of the soldiers and horses were lost! At present, Fancheng must be under fierce attack by the other army, and the governor will rescue quickly, otherwise Fancheng will be in danger! ”
Gao Ran hurriedly told him about the past, and Cao Ren's face changed dramatically when he heard it. At this time, the entire Cao army seemed to be shrouded in extremely uneasy emotions. Only Jia Xu was still able to stay calm, and Jia Xu quickly spoke to appease Cao Ren. Cao Ren stopped his panic slightly, and then ordered the army to speed up, hoping that Fancheng would rush to it.
Let's say that at this time, under the city of Fancheng, more than 15,000 soldiers and horses of Liu's army surrounded Fancheng under the leadership of Zhang Fei and Tai Shici. Fancheng has been under siege for more than ten days, and most of the 3,000 defenders in the city have been killed and wounded.
Cao Chun saw that the general trend was extreme, and there was nothing to be done, so he quickly came to Cheng Yu to discuss.
"Fancheng must not be lost. Otherwise, the back road of the governor's army will be cut off, and the army will inevitably be in chaos. At present, Fancheng is heavily surrounded by the other army, and it is difficult to send scout reports. How can this be? ”
At this time, Cheng Yu's face was cold, his brows were deeply locked, and after muttering for a while, he opened his mouth and said.
"The general has no need to worry. The military division is very intelligent, if you wave the army to kill Xinye, see the attack on the other army, the number of troops is very small, you will be able to find the strange, and then you will send troops back to Fancheng to rescue! ”
When Cao Chun heard this, his heart was a little fixed, and he replied with a heavy bow.
What Cheng Zhonglang said is very true. Before the salvation army moves, I will defend Fancheng to the death! ”
Cao Chun said, glanced at Cheng Yu, and left in a hurry, going back to the city to prepare for the garrison. Cao Chun just left, but Cheng Yu's face changed, and his eyes were full of embarrassment and helplessness.
"I'm afraid that Najavin and want to abandon me! However, Zhuge Liang is so good, it must be a big trouble for the prime minister in the future, and he must be eliminated urgently. If this is the case, it is also reasonable. ”
Cheng Yu finished thinking about it, let out a long sigh, and then closed his eyes. At this time, Fancheng was besieged and killed by Liu Jun's soldiers and horses, and even if Cheng Yu wanted to escape, it would be nine deaths. What's more, Cao Chun is worried about Cao Ren's safety, and he will not want to abandon Fancheng!
The next day, the two generals Zhang Fei and Tai Shici led their troops to launch a fierce attack again, and the entire Fancheng was crumbling by the crowd of 15,000 troops. Zhang Fei had a military relationship with Zhuge Liang before, and he said that he would take Fancheng, otherwise Zhang Fei would voluntarily sacrifice his head. Zhang Feili had the will to die, and seeing that Fancheng could not be attacked for a long time, he ordered the generals of each battalion before starting the army earlier.
"Today, if you don't break the city, you will be killed!"
Zhang Fei and Tai Shici, two generals, all went to the city in person to supervise the army to move soil and stones, and fill in the trenches. Cao Chun commanded the defenders of the city to block hard, the arrows and stones on the city were like rain, and there were two Liu Junbi generals who avoided and returned, Zhang Fei shouted angrily, and stabbed him to death under the city with a spear, so he dismounted and took the soil to fill the pit. As a result, all the soldiers and soldiers moved forward, and the military prestige was greatly boosted. Fancheng was attacked by Liu's army for several days, and the four city walls were desolate and dilapidated. In addition, the defenders were small, under the fierce attack of Liu Jun, the defenders of the city gradually could not resist the enemy, Zhang Fei led a group of men and horses to fight bravely to go to the city first, cut the pass and fell the lock, and the brigade of soldiers and horses instantly rushed in. Cheng Yu saw that Fancheng could no longer be defended, so he hurried to find Cao Chun, Cao Chun's eyes were red, the guns in his hands were impenetrable, and the blood-stained battle robe. When Cheng Yu saw Cao Chun, he saw that his whole body was bloody, and he was horrified.
"General Cao quickly withdraws, Fancheng can no longer defend !!"
Cheng Yu hissed and roared, and Cao Chunshang was unwilling to retreat. Cheng Yu was helpless and ordered several members to forcefully pull Cao Chun to retreat. Cheng Yu had already made arrangements earlier, ordering the soldiers to drive the people to the south gate. When Cheng Yu rushed to the south gate with more than 100 cavalry and Cao Chun, he immediately ordered the soldiers to open the city gate, and then drove the people out.
Under the threat of knives and guns, the people of Fancheng rushed out of the city in panic. Liu Jun, who was outside the south gate, suddenly saw the city gate open, and he was overjoyed and ready to rush in. Unexpectedly, hundreds of people rushed out of the city gate. Suddenly, the Liu army at the south gate was in chaos, and was rushed into chaos by the people. Because of Zhuge Liang's strict order earlier, the people of Fancheng must not be harmed. The soldiers of the Liu army, who commanded the soldiers and horses at the south gate, did not dare to make the soldiers attack the people who rushed to them.
Cheng Yu took advantage of the chaos of Liu Jun and led more than 100 cavalry to rush out of the south gate, and he was about to take advantage of the chaos to escape. At this moment, three loud bowstring sounds were launched in a row, and I saw three fast and shadowless arrows rushing away, one arrow towards Cheng Yu and two arrows towards Cao Chun. Cheng Yu was startled, and when he was at a loss, a member of the Cao military department beside him shouted angrily, and the horse moved forward and used his body to resist the arrow. The arrow passed through the body, and the Cao military general fell off his horse and died, and another member of the Cao military department on Cheng Yu's side angrily took out a knife to cut off the arrow. As for the other side, Cao Chun stabbed an arrow with his spear, and the other arrow was dodged and hit his right arm. Cao Chun screamed miserably, and the surrounding soldiers hurriedly supported him and rushed out.
And the person who fired the arrow just now was Tai Shici. Tai Shi Ci's eyes were cold, and he immediately led a team of cavalry to rush forward to intercept and kill. Tai Shi Ci was chasing, and at the same time, the bow and arrow in his hand kept pulling. The soldiers of the Cao army who were protecting Cao Chun and Cheng Yu were desperately blocking, seeing that Tai Shi Ci's arrows were not missing, and the arrows would be able to shoot one person, Cao Chun and Cheng Yu were getting fewer and fewer people around them, and they were about to be caught up.
Suddenly, the wind and sand outside Fancheng were blowing, and the crowd of people rushed in the sky. Xu Chu gritted his teeth, the tiger's eyes were full of anger and led a cavalry army to rush to the front, like an angry giant tiger, opening his teeth and dancing claws and rushing straight towards Tai Shici. Tai Shici's face tightened, and he hurriedly withdrew his big bow and raised his gun to meet the attack.
Between the lightning and flint, Xu Chu was killed, and the tiger's head knife slashed hard, if there was a tendency to break the mountains and seas, Tai Shi Ci blocked it with a gun, and with a loud bang, sparks burst out. Tai Shici's face changed again, and he secretly paid this strength to be terrifying. Xu Chu hissed loudly, like a tiger roaring, shocking people's hearts, and the tiger head knife in his hand was turbulent and fierce
g non-stop. Tai Shici was killed so helpless for a while, so he could only blindly defend it. Then the tiger and leopard led by Xu Chu rode to kill, and Tai Shici saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly turned his horse and fled. Xu Chu led his troops to cover up and kill, and killed Tai Shici's deployment in chaos, holding his head and running away.
When Cheng Yu saw Xu Chu, he was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly drove the army away. Xu Chu caught Cheng Yu and Cao Chun, and seeing that both of them were injured, he was furious, and immediately raised his knife to kill the crowd and chased after Tai Shici. Immediately after Cao Ren's army pressed, Zhang Jaw, Cao Hong, Li Dian and other Cao family soldiers led their own deployments to kill the front.
Not long after Zhang Fei arrived in Fancheng, he saw countless Cao soldiers suddenly rushing outside the city, and he was extremely anxious, so he hurriedly led his soldiers and horses out of the city to resist. Zhang Fei rode out of the city, and the three generals Zhang Jaw, Cao Hong, and Li Dian noticed almost at the same time, and Qi Zongma waved three weapons to kill Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei shouted angrily in a thunderous voice, not afraid of the backlash, and fought with Zhang, Cao, and Li like a lantern. I saw that Zhang Fei was very brave, and the snake spear came out fast and fierce, and he was so anxious and anxious that he couldn't take advantage of the three generals Zhang, Cao, and Li.
On the other side, Xu Chu was chasing Tai Shi Ci in a hurry, Tai Shi Ci was chased by Xu Chu with a belly full of bad luck, and suddenly turned around and killed for a while. Xu Chu's offensive was strong, and Tai Shici was forced to retreat. Xu Chuhu was stunned, and suddenly took out several stones from the bag on his waist, which Cao Cao laughed at as 'featherless arrows'.
Xu Chu grabbed three featherless arrows in one hand and walked towards Tai Shici's back. Tai Shi Ci felt the wind behind him, looked back, and saw three objects like swift light shooting towards him, Tai Shi Ci hurriedly drove to dodge, avoiding two featherless arrows, but the last one was avoided and was hit in the helmet. Tai Shi Ci screamed bitterly and fell off the horse. Xu Chujia spurred the horse to fly, and his hand rose and fell, and he was about to kill Tai Shici. Unexpectedly, Tai Shi Ci didn't know where the power came from, so he grabbed the thunder gun in time and quickly blocked the tiger's head knife that Xu Chu had chopped down. Xu Chu rushed over, Tai Shi Ci quickly turned over, and looked at Xu Chu with a vigilant face.
At the same time, when the two armies of Cao and Liu were fighting desperately. In the rear of Cao Jun, there was another gust of wind and dust. I saw two generals, Pan Feng and Hua Xiong, leading two troops to kill suddenly. Cao Ren, who was commanding the soldiers and horses in the rear army, was taken aback. Pan Feng rode his horse and swung an axe, breaking through the crowd, as if entering a no-man's land, and was coming to Cao Ren to kill. Gao Ran hurriedly raised his gun and rushed to resist. Jia Xu hurriedly told Cao Ren to retreat, but Cao Ren came back to his senses and led a group of men and horses to retreat all the way. Pan Feng hurriedly attacked Gao Ran, and the two killed more than a dozen he, Gao Ran couldn't resist it, and was able to escape with the support of the soldiers. Hua Xiong led another army to the right flank of Cao's army, and was fighting with Xu Chu and Tai Shici.
"Ziwei, this guy is amazing! Hurry up and come to help, you and I will attack this person together! ”
Tai Shi Ci shouted, and Hua Xiong immediately rode his horse to kill after hearing this. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Chu did not wait for Huaxiong to arrive, burst out with all his strength to attack Tai Shici, and fled on horseback. The two generals Tai Shici and Hua Xiong followed closely behind, and rushed madly in the crowd of Cao soldiers, killing the Cao soldiers and soldiers screaming.
At the same time, Zhang Jaw saw that the battle situation was not good, and the rear army and the Chinese army were attacked, which was a great chaos. Zhang Jaw didn't dare to fight for a long time, and quickly told Cao Hong and Li Dian to retreat quickly. When Cao Hong and Li Dian heard this, they all struck hard, forced Zhang Fei away, and fled on horseback. Zhang Jaw also took the opportunity to rein in and escape. Zhang Fei killed just the rise, where was he willing to give up, wow wow yelled, brandished a snake spear, and chased and killed the three generals closely.
Seeing that the situation was like this, Cao Ren knew that the defeat was decided, so he immediately sent various factions to ride quickly, making people blow horns and order the withdrawal of troops. With the sound of the horn, the soldiers of the Cao army in all departments no longer had the will to fight, and fled frantically together. Cao Jiang Han Hao couldn't escape, and was caught up by Pan Feng and cut down the horse with an axe. Xu Chu fought to the death against the two generals Tai Shici and Huaxiong, and escaped with a bloody road.
