Chapter 1265: The Battle of Yong'an (Part II)
The sound of the knife moving, Xu Chu slashed the knife, like a match, and fell instantly. Wang Shuang twisted the knife to block. There was a loud 'bang'. Wang Shuang's face changed drastically, and the big knife in his hand suddenly swung away. Xu Chu was unforgiving, turned his knife, and took advantage of the situation to slash at Wang's neck. At this moment, a cyan spear shot like lightning and stabbed at the blade of the tiger's head knife in Xu Chu's hand. The sparks burst out, but Wen Shun made it skillful, and actually swept away the big knife that Xu Chu had chopped off. Wang Shuang stabilized the chaos, and immediately twisted the knife to kill, the knife and knife slashed violently, Wen Shun also came to help with the gun, the gun style was sometimes round and shaking, sometimes it was like a torrent, and the changes were endless. Suddenly, Xu Chu shouted, like a tiger roaring, alarming all directions, the tiger head machete in his hand danced impenetrable, constantly resisting Wen Shun and Wang Shuang's offensive, and also killed with a devastating counterattack. Wen Shun and Wang Shuang shook their spirits, and did not dare to slack off, the two fought fiercely with Xu Chu, and the soldiers and horses behind them swarmed up, and with the strength of the crowd, Xu Chu's troops were forced to retreat.
On the other side, most of the soldiers and horses left by Xu Chu had surrounded Deng Ai's army with the soldiers led by Cao Zhang. Deng Ai's eyes were blazing, and he led his troops to break through before, and the Black Wind Cavalry rushed forward bravely, as if he had broken a rift in Xu Chu's man-horse formation. Cao Zhang's eyes were full of golden light, and the horse attacked from behind. Deng Ai knew that Cao Zhang was powerful, so he hurriedly pulled out his horse and turned around to meet Cao Zhang. Between the lightning and flint, Cao Zhang danced the Xuantie Giant Sword, and with a swing of his strength, a sword aura shot out. Deng Ai twisted the spear and swept it violently, scattering the sword qi, and at the same time, Cao Zhang's horse approached, and the giant sword slashed backwards like the power of breaking through mountains and splitting the earth. Cao Zhang was born with divine power, and this split can be described as huge. Deng Ai dared to collide with it, moved to avoid it, and immediately slashed his gun violently, attacking extremely fast. Cao Zhangzhi knew that this Deng Shizai was very good, and he did not dare to slack off, and danced his sword to resist. The two attacked or defended, fighting for dozens of rounds.
At this moment, Wen Shun and Wang Shuang's two troops attacked with crowds, and finally forced the small group led by Xu Chu to disperse, and they rushed over. The two armies mixed together, the plain was covered with dust, swords and guns covered the sun, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the heavens and the earth. Wen Shun and Wang Shuang rode their horses and galloped, looking at Deng Ai's flying over. Seeing this, Cao Zhang's face changed, he didn't retreat, he used all his strength, and danced the Xuantie giant sword and smashed it down, and in an instant, Deng Airu saw a golden light on the giant sword, and a golden dragon appeared. Deng Ai hurriedly exerted all his strength, and his momentum suddenly burst out, twisting the gun to resist, and a three-headed and six-armed evil god also appeared on the gun. There was a loud bang. However, it was Cao Zhang's sword that was superior, and he killed Deng Ai, and the giant sword quickly rose again, hoping that Deng Ai would stab him directly. Wen Shun was shocked and shouted to be careful. However, Deng Ai did not panic, and suddenly, his body disappeared. Cao Zhang's sword stabbed into the air, and he hurriedly opened his eyes to look. It turned out that Deng Ai's whole person was hanging upside down in the air, so dexterous and superb. When Cao Zhang came back to his senses, Deng Ai had already turned over, twisted the gun and looked at Cao Zhang's violent stabbing and barking, the gun was as fast as lightning, and there was a faint sound of a hundred birds chirping in unison, and it was the shooting technique of a hundred birds and a phoenix. Deng Ai came very violently, and Cao Zhang returned to defend and resist. said that it was too late and that it was fast, Wen Shun suddenly rushed to kill the dragon and turned the sky with marksmanship, and the gun was like a dragon roaring, and the two attacked Cao Zhang. Cao Zhang was suddenly caught off guard, and the danger was repeated, and his defense was about to be chaotic. There was a sudden roar ahead, shaking the heavens and the earth.
"Who dares to hurt my Prince of Great Wei!!"
The roar like a tiger was terrifying. I saw that Xu Chu had killed Wang Shuang at some point, and rode his horse to attack. Wen Shun and Deng Ai had a good heart, and almost at the same time they turned away. One left and one right, rush over. By the time Xu Chu arrived in a rage, the two had already withdrawn. Xu Chuhu was hideous, pulled out the horse and turned around, his strange eyes were full of surging murderous aura, his mouth was wide, and he shouted.
"Shaft, don't want to escape!!"
Xu Chu shouted, and suddenly chased after Wen Shun. Wen Shun dragged the gun away, seeing that Xu Chu was about to kill, he gave an order, and the black wind riders scattered around shot arrows in unison, Xu Chu slashed with his knife, and roared angrily. On the other side, Cao Zhang was killed by Deng Ai and Wang Shuang, and the situation was extremely dangerous.
And Cao Pi, who was watching the battle on a high slope not far away, was so dark that he was about to drip water, and Xun Yu persuaded him quickly.
"Your Highness! The other army has already been prepared, and it is difficult for our army to take it well, so it is better to collect the army first, and then plan for the future. ”
When Cao Pi heard this, his face trembled, and he snorted coldly in his heart, but he still obeyed Xun Yu's words, ordered Mingjin to withdraw the army, and ordered a group of soldiers and horses to go to meet him. After a while, the sound of Wei Jun's golden horn suddenly rose, and a Wei soldier rushed in. When Xu Chu heard this, he frowned, shouted at the soldiers to withdraw his troops, and at the same time killed Cao Zhang's sudden horse. Deng Ai heard the sound of Wei Bing's horn, his expression was shocked, and he quickly shouted with Wang Shuang.
"Ziquan, Hugh wants to entangle with the Wei thief, withdraw!!"
Deng Ai drank and swept towards Cao Zhang with a shot. Cao Zhang turned to dodge, and Deng Ai and Wang Shuang took the opportunity to swing away and escape. Fortunately, the two left in time, and the murderous Xu Chu rushed over. Cao Zhang's golden eyes narrowed slightly, watching Deng Ai and Wang Shuang leave, a trace of fierce and ferocious aura flashed in his eyes, and then he pulled over the horse, glanced at Xu Chu, and led the troops to withdraw together. Deng Ai and Wang Shuang rushed to Wen Shun's side, Wang Shuang's eyes widened, and he shouted.
"Your Highness, this is the right time, why don't you quickly lead troops to cover up the killing!?"
"No, you can't. His army is so reinforcing that you must not entangle with it, pass my orders, do not pursue, and return to the city as soon as possible! ”
With Wen Shun's order to fall, the ** soldiers rushed back to the city. On the other side, the Wei army also slowly withdrew. The fierce battle between the two armies ended for the time being. said that Cao Zhang returned to Dazhai and saw Cao Pi's dark expression and extremely ugly face. Cao Zhang knew that he had made a mistake, and knelt on the ground to worship.
"The little brother is reckless and willing to be punished!"
Cao Pi saw Cao Zhang's face face that was ugly, so he was a little better, sighed, and shook his head.
"Nawen Zixi, Deng Shizai, and Wang Ziquan, the three young heroes, are all young heroes of the Western Tang Dynasty. Brother Zhang should not be taken lightly, otherwise it will cause a catastrophe sooner or later. This battle of Jianping is very important, and I hope that Brother Zhang will be more cautious in the future. ”
Cao Zhang's face was solemn, he listened calmly, and there was no rebuttal. Cao Pi saw that Cao Zhang did not have a self-assured identity and could listen to it, and most of his anger was gone, so he waved his hand and taught Cao Zhang to go back and rest. Who knew that Cao Zhang was giving up.
"This time it was all because of the younger brother's mistake, so he was succeeded by the Tang thief. Please also punish my brother! ”
When Cao Pi heard this, he looked stunned, then narrowed his eyes, and suddenly laughed again.
"Good! Before leaving, my father said that although my brothers and I are relatives of the Great Wei royal family, we must not rely on our status, despise the law, reward if you attack, punish if you make mistakes, and cannot abolish military orders. Brother Zhang kept it in mind, and he should not mess with the law as a brother. Come on, Cao Ziwen didn't listen to orders, went out to fight without authorization, thirty canes, and a big demerit, if he can make meritorious service in the future, he will offset it with merit!! ”
As soon as Cao Pi said this, Xun You's face couldn't help but change, this military staff is not ordinary, the red lacquer stick weighs sixty-two catties, and if the cane is beaten down, the skin will be rotten, and ordinary people will be killed by thirty military staffs, even if they are healthy people, they will also go to half a human life! Xun You's heart trembled, and he hurriedly persuaded.
"As the old saying goes, the law is not respected. The third prince is in the army! ”
"Xun Gong is slow! Father often taught that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people! At the same time, my brother is the commander of the three armies, how can he bend the law for personal gain!! If this matter spreads, won't it teach people to laugh at my Great Wei Tiger Master, there is no law, and if the military regulations and laws are false, they will be a rabble!? ”
Just as Xun You was speaking, Cao Zhang suddenly shouted. When Xun You heard this, he suddenly stopped, and at the same time, there was a bit of praise in his eyes. Cao Pi watched from the side, but there was a trace of inexplicable jealousy in his eyes, but it soon flashed and suddenly smiled.
"Good!! Brother Zhang knows the truth very well, and it is really my great Wei's luck. Left and right, drag it out and do the penalty!! ”
Cao Pi drank it, and the two Tiger Guard soldiers immediately walked towards Cao Zhang with a cold expression. Cao Cao has always been strict in governing the army, and the Tiger Guards are not only Cao Cao's personal guards, but also handle the punishment of the three armies for Cao Cao. At this time, the two tiger guards had no scruples about Cao Zhang's identity and embraced Cao Zhang. When many sergeants heard the news, there was a noise outside the tent. After a while, the noise soon died down, followed by a loud muffled noise, which made people feel heart-wrenching.
Let's say that the Wei army and ** have been confronting each other in Yong'an City for some time. The Wei army was not enterprising, and the construction of weapons was also slow. What made Cao Pi even more troublesome was that when he was fighting fiercely with the Shu army in Wucheng a few days ago, he was attacked by Wen Shun and burned most of his baggage. And Wucheng also has not much food. At present, the military rations are in short supply, and the soldiers and horses sent out to Gangneung a month ago to beg for baggage have not arrived for a long time. Now the surplus food in the army is only enough for ten days, if Yong'an is not broken within ten days, or if the supplies arrive, the army's morale will be in turmoil, so Cao Pi has to withdraw his army and return.
Cao Pi had many worries in his heart, and quickly discussed with Xun You, intending to raise an army to attack Yong'an. As long as the dangerous city of Yong'an is conquered, it is necessary to take Jianping County as if it were in the bag. Therefore, Cao Pi wanted to make a desperate gamble, following his father's example of attacking Shouchun back then, and fought against the water! When Cao Cao conquered Yuan Shu, it was also a food emergency, and later Cao Cao personally commanded the army, in front of the formation, led the troops to attack, the former army was afraid of the battle, and was killed by Cao Cao himself, so the morale of the three armies was shocked, and Shouchun was broken in one fell swoop. But don't forget, at that time, Cao Cao not only had Liu Bei's Xuzhou army as a strong reinforcement, but also Sun Jian's Jiangdong army as a response. However, Yong'an City was not as strong as Shouchun City at that time, and its troops were not as strong as Yuan Shu's Jiangnan Army.
Xun You heard what Cao Pi said, his face changed, and when he was about to open his mouth to reply, suddenly a scout came to report, saying that there was a group of people and horses on the trail in the northwest direction, and the banner was actually one of the five lion generals of the Western Tang Dynasty, Zhang Wenyuan!
When Cao Pi heard the news, his face suddenly changed drastically, and his eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted loudly.
"That Zhang Wen is far from attacking Chengdu with Wen Bufan, how can he expect Yong'an to come to help!? Could it be that Wen Bufan saw that Chengdu was difficult to conquer, and he was afraid that Jianping would be lost, so he sent it to rescue!? ”
Xun You's face changed continuously, and suddenly his expression tightened, and he sighed.
"I'm afraid that's not the case. The battle of Chengdu is crucial, and Chengdu is guarded by Zhuge Kongming, Wen Bufan has not many troops, and there is a lack of brave generals, how can he transfer troops and horses to the battle, and send his general Zhang Wenyuan to come! If what I expected is correct, there will be something wrong in Chengdu, which will catch Zhuge Kongming off guard and have been breached!! ”
