Chapter 205: The Decisive Battle of Xuzhou, the Overall Situation is Determined (Ending)
"Knock, knock, knock..."Outside Xuzhou City, the war drums were in the sky.
Guan Yu, who was sitting on the head of the city with his eyes closed, suddenly stood up, and a pair of Danfeng eyes flashed a trace of exhaustion. Looking at the Cao Jun camp outside the city, but not a single soldier came up with such a thing, these days, Guan Yu has seen a lot, and he has not seen any surprise, scolded secretly, and sat back again.
In the past few days, Cao Jun was afraid of the Han army's bow and crossbow, and Guan Yu bravely resisted the enemy, which made it difficult for Cao Cao to capture Xuzhou City. In desperation, Cao Cao had to use tricks, maybe he would beat drums and shout at any time, and from time to time he would harass the defenders of Xuzhou with episodes of small troops attacking. As soon as the Han army relaxed a little and the drums beat again, small troops began to attack, and occasionally there was a full-scale attack, which made Guan Yu unable to defend himself.
After going on it a few times, Guan Yu also understood that this was Cao Cao's conspiracy, but he couldn't do anything about it, which made Guan Yu really annoyed. When Cao Cao's army first arrived, Guan Yu took command to meet the enemy in person, but there were many generals in Cao Ying, and with Xu Chu and Xu Huang joining forces, Guan Yu could not win, and it was a draw. Guan Yu and the generals of Xuzhou are difficult to support independently, although they have the help of civil servants and other soldiers, they are also outnumbered. In addition, Cao Jun had a lot of scheming, was killed and returned defeated, and lost two counties in a row, and then Guan Yu simply defended Xuzhou City, but fortunately, the soldiers were brave and well-equipped, and the loss was not very large. However, when Guan Yu was fighting with Xu Chu and Xu Huang, he was attacked by Xiahou Yuan, and an arrow hit his right arm. Now, I can't afford to dance the Qinglong Knife. Now, even if he wanted to go out of the city for a decisive battle, it was in vain, so he had to stay in the city angrily.
However, under the defense of strong weapons such as catapults and crossbows, Cao Jun's losses were also heavy, the largest one, Guan Yu used both water and fire, making Cao Jun's casualties reach 30,000, and those who could escape were less than 6,000, which really surprised Cao Cao and did not dare to underestimate Guan Yu.
However, under this elimination of the other, Xuzhou City has gradually become overstretched, bows, crossbows and stones are limited after all, one time is to use a large handful, and now there are not many trees left in the city; The Xuzhou soldiers had to engage with the Cao army in short combat, even if they were brave, they also suffered a lot of casualties. Although the Cao army suffered more losses, the entire Xuzhou soldiers were only 120,000, plus the previous losses and the defenders everywhere, now there are less than 40,000 soldiers and horses left in Xuzhou City, and the Cao army is 300,000 people, which is really ......
At this time, a figure walked in front of Guan Yu, Guan Yu noticed something, opened his eyes, and saw that it was Wen Ping, Wen Ping carried the golden gun, went to Guan Yu, put down the golden gun, and said: "Yun Chang, can the wound still heal well?" ”
"It's not a big deal, it's just that this arrow pierces the muscles and bones, and for a while, I can't use the knife anymore, it's really hateful!" Guan Yu said angrily. Guan Yu's career as a horse for more than ten years can be described as invincible, and this battle is the most aggrieved he has fought.
"Yun Chang, this is a bad statement. Cao Jun is just relying on numerical superiority, if you fight alone, then Xu Chu'an is your opponent? Yun Chang, there are few opponents in the world of martial arts, not to mention that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, why worry about this? As soon as the reinforcements arrived, it was the time when General Cao was given the head, and now, as long as he can hold Xuzhou City steadily. Wen Ping reassured.
"What Zhongye said is very true, the eldest brother has entrusted Guan with the important task of guarding Xuzhou, and since he should get rid of the dead, as long as Guan still has a breath, Xuzhou City will not change hands!" Guan Yu said coldly.
"Hey!" Wen Ping sighed, Guan Yu's words reminded him of the time when he was guarding Jingzhou, and he couldn't help but sigh. Seeing Guan Yu say this, he shook his head and said: "What Yun Chang said is wrong, Your Majesty and your Taoyuan are righteous, if you are like a brother, if you lose, Your Majesty will raise a national army to take revenge on you, even if you destroy the Cao thief, you have to be sad in vain, isn't it a pity!" ”
"This ......" Guan Yu couldn't help but stop. I didn't say much on this topic at the moment, but after a while, I changed the conversation and asked, "Zhongye, how is Ping'er?" Do you hear the news? ”
"I don't know about this, but Yun Chang, you can rest assured that there is Xingba, there will be nothing wrong, not to mention that Guan Pingxian's nephew's martial arts are not much worse than you and me, and among the generals of the Cao Army, except for Xu Chu, the others can't beat him." Wen Ping paused and said with a smile.
"This is also, passed on." Guan Yu sighed, but then remembered that the soldiers in Xuzhou City were already exhausted, not physically, but mentally, in order to cope with the pressure of the Cao army, they kept their hearts all day long to prevent the Cao army from attacking, such a high-intensity mental concentration, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Guan Yu, these generals, were a little unbearable. Guan Yu thought about it, slammed the city wall fiercely, and scolded angrily: "Hate Cao thief!" It's so insidious, fighting and not fighting, retreating and not retreating, beating drums and sneaking attacks all day long, it's really annoying! ”
Wen Ping also shook his head when he heard this, and said, "It's a pity that although you and I have courage, we lack strategy. If only one of the military advisors was there, it would probably be much better! ”
"Well, count it out, Boxiong's reinforcements should have arrived, even if it was as the soldier who came to report the incident said, the troops should be divided into two ways, and they should have arrived today, how could there not even be any news?" Guan Yu frowned and said.
"This ......, Cao Cao and his subordinates have a lot of strategies, and may have set up an ambush in the distance, entangled General Zhao Xu's footsteps, but according to the soldiers, General Zhao Xu led an army of as many as 150,000, and also had the courage of General Yide, General Zilong and General Chen Zhi, Cao Cao couldn't help him, presumably, it should not be far from Xuzhou City at this time." Wen Ping thought about it and analyzed.
"Well, the old general is right, after all, the enemy army has 150,000 troops, Your Majesty wants to win a big victory, it is easy, but it is not easy to destroy it, Your Majesty has not arrived at this time, I am afraid, it is the intention to annihilate all these 150,000 people, this letter has 60,000 troops in the capital, if you can't defend a city, but it makes people laugh, what face does Guan have to see Your Majesty's old general, I still need encouragement" Guan Yu nodded and said.
"That's right! Yun Chang, you have been exhausted for many days, so relax and relax in the next game of chess. Wen Ping smiled and said.
Guan Yu couldn't hear the meaning of Wen Ping's words, so he also smiled and said, "It's okay, we haven't played chess for a long time, and today is just to see if Zhongye has grown." ”
"Good! Please! ”
……
"Report to King Wei, Peiguo is urgent!"
Outside Xuzhou, in the barracks of Cao Cao's army, a scarred soldier broke in and reported urgently.
"Why are you so alarmed, take your time." Cao Cao looked at the embarrassed soldier in front of him, his heart tightened, and he asked in a calm voice.
"Back to the King of Wei, I don't know where to kill a Han cavalry, extremely well-equipped, attacked Peiguo overnight, General Che Gao was killed by the enemy general, Peiguo defenders, the whole army was annihilated!" The soldier replied tragically.
"What do you say? Annihilated? At this moment, Yuan Shao finally understood where the uneasiness came from, his heart was shocked, and he asked in disbelief.
"The defenders of Peiguo are full of 8,000 people, and General Che Gao is also a safe person, even if the enemy army attacks at night, the whole army should not be wiped out. Also, how did you escape? Before Cao Cao could speak, a grim-looking man asked coldly. This person is Zhuge Liang's lifelong opponent, Sima Yi, who has a wolf Gu Xiang.
"Back to my lord, the small one is the general of the Che stomach, we fought to the death to fight a bloody road, before the general Che Gao died, let me wait for the fast horse to run, and then escaped. The Han army chased and killed all the way, and the small one came back alive with more than a dozen comrades, and only the small one came back alive to ....... The king of Wei, the Han army, numbered about 10,000, and when it was dark, they were wearing the clothes of our army, saying that they were the tigers and leopards of the lord, and they deceived them into opening the city gate. By the time the city went down to find out that something was wrong, it was too late. ”
"Damn!" Cao Cao slapped the table angrily, was silent for a while, and asked, "Lone asks you, the enemy general, do you know who it is?" ”
"Back to the King of Wei, it was dark at the time, and I couldn't distinguish the appearance, but I knew that the white armor and white horse, a silver spear was unstoppable." The soldier replied.
"Oh! White armor and white horse, it is not Zhao Xu's brother Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong. As soon as Cao Cao heard the white armor and white horse, he remembered the incident of Bowangpo in the past, and he was suddenly startled, and said to himself.
"It seems that Zhao Xu is also here, hehe! Brother Zhao Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm! Cao misses ...... very much"
