Chapter 876: Counting the Counts (Part II)

Xun Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers on the left and right to blow the horn of Mingjin to collect the troops. With the sound of the horn, the generals of the Cao army immediately led the army to retreat slowly in the heavy rain. Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Jaw, and Yu Ban hurriedly waved their troops to the city to respond.

As soon as Cao Jun retreated, the tense nerves of the soldiers and civilians in Xiangyang suddenly relaxed, and an endless sense of fatigue filled the whole body. Zhuge Liang also knew that the army and civilians were exhausted, and did not give an order to cover up the killing, only a few troops and horses shot arrows to block the attack.

The trumpet is blowing. Xu Chu raised his eyebrows viciously, and his eyes were full of anger. He had already sensed that Zhang Fei was not strong enough, as long as he was given two more hours to defeat this person. Zhang Fei laughed, as if he wanted to hide his lack of physical strength. Xu Chu said coldly.

"Zhang Yide, let your head rest for a few days. I, Xu Zhongkang, will come to fetch it sooner or later!! ”

Xu Chu finished drinking, turned around and walked away. Zhang Fei didn't dare to chase after him, and shouted behind him.

"Xu Zhongkang, one day sooner, your grandfather Zhang will take your head!!"

On the other side, Dian Wei shouted violently, wielding a halberd and attacking Pan Feng, seemingly ignoring the sound of the horn. Pan Feng fought fiercely all night, and was injured, and was killed by Dian Wei for a while and had no power to fight back. Dian Weihe attacked, and seemed to want to fight Pan Feng endlessly.

Suddenly, Pan Feng tried his best to open the double halberd that Dian Wei had chopped with an axe. Dian Wei took a few steps back, Pan Feng was about to split, Dian Wei laughed coldly, but he didn't dodge, he knew that Pan Feng was already at the end of the crossbow. Sure enough, as soon as Pan Feng lifted the giant axe, his body and bones seemed to be working against him, and his strength was weak, and the giant axe fell instantly. Dian Wei's evil eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly rushed up, a halberd swept towards Pan Feng's chest, and a halberd slashed horizontally at Pan Feng's abdomen.

Two blood rays flashed suddenly, and two blood streams flew out of Pan Feng's huge body. Dian Wei suddenly grinned, and suddenly Pan Feng burst into a rage, and the power of nine bulls and two tigers burst out into his right fist, and at an extremely incredible speed, he slammed into Dian Wei's face.

Bang~~!

Dian Wei's entire body suddenly flew violently, his mouth was full of blood, and he hit a city wall, spitting out a few bloody teeth one after another. Several Cao army generals rushed over and guarded Dian Wei. Dian Wei snapped up and shouted violently.

"Get out of the way !!!"

Before he could say anything, he heard another shout from the city.

"Evil comes!! The king has an order, and those who do not obey the order and retreat will be beheaded!! ”

When Dian Wei heard this, he recognized that this was Cao Ren's shout, and his distorted face suddenly swelled with anger and unwillingness. Dian Wei almost crushed his teeth and stared at Pan Feng deadly, as if he wanted to tear Pan Feng to pieces. However, in the end, Dian Wei still did not dare to disobey Cao Cao's order, and turned to retreat.

Not long after Dian Wei retreated, Pan Feng suddenly knelt on his left knee, and his huge body fell sharply.

"General Pan!!!"

The surrounding Jingzhou soldiers hurriedly came to visit. I saw that the three hideous blood marks in front of and behind Pan Feng were constantly bursting blood.

Brush Brush Brush ~~!!

The sky suddenly fell with a downpour, and Cao Jun slowly retreated from Xiangyang City under the thunder and rain curtain. I saw the cold corpse in the upper and lower parts of Xiangyang City, which seemed to be wordlessly explaining the cruelty of war. Heavy rain drops, leaving behind the rain bright red and demonic, Xiangyang City to three miles of land, all a red bright red.

Zhuge Liang silently looked at the bloody scene around him, regardless of the persuasion of the general, and refused to leave for a long time.

In this bloody battle, Cao's army injured about 15,000 soldiers and horses, while Jingzhou's soldiers and horses damaged 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the people of Xiangyang died 10,000 people.

This can be said to be the most painful defeat of Zhuge Liang since he came out of the mountain. Cao Cao's battle also proved that Zhuge Kongming, who was praised by the world as having unparalleled intelligence, was not an invincible god.

Cao's army withdrew to the camp, and Zhuge Liang did not come out of the city. This sudden rainstorm lasted for three days and three nights, causing the water level of the rivers around Xiangyang City to rise.

Cao Cao saw that the land of Xiangyang was extremely difficult to travel due to the heavy rain, and he did not dare to attack Xiangyang for a while. At the same time in Xiangyang City, Zhuge Liang still stood still. The two armies confronted each other for half a month, and there was no movement for the time being.

Let's say that Cao Cao could have broken through Xiangyang in one battle, but because God helped the thief, the great fighter plane was wiped out. Cao Cao was depressed and slept in the tent one day. Suddenly, I saw a pig, as big as an ox, covered in black, running into the tent and biting Cao Cao's feet. Cao Cao was furious, and hurriedly drew his sword to cut him, and suddenly the black qi surged, his vision was blurred, and his voice was like a cracked silk, which was deafening.

"What a demon!! The lonely name shocks the world, the heroes of the world, and the name of the lonely is fearless!! How dare the demons be presumptuous!! ”

Cao Cao shouted loudly, and suddenly realized that it was a dream. Cao Cao was shocked, but he felt that his left foot was in pain, and he was suspicious. Then Xun Yu came and told him in a dream.

Xun You listened to this, pondered for a while, and then replied.

"The king doesn't have to worry about it. Pigs also have dragon elephants. The dragon is attached, it is the meaning of rising, this is an auspicious omen, and it must be an omen that the king will get Jingzhou!! ”

Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, but after hearing it, he didn't believe it. Then he gathered his advisers under the tent and told them of the dream. Either auspicious or ominous, there are different opinions.

When Cao Cao heard this, his brows furrowed, he rose angrily, and shouted loudly.

"Fighting alone on the battlefield for countless years, what kind of danger has I never been involved in? It's just a dream, so why bother. The matter is to be put to rest, and no further mention shall be made!! ”

While Cao Cao was talking, the Jiangdong envoy arrived and handed over the paperwork. Cao Cao hurriedly read the book, and it turned out that Sun Ce sent a letter, telling Cao Cao that he would lead the Jiangdong army to attack Jiangxia in the near future. After Cao Cao finished watching, he was overjoyed and said with a smile.

"Hahaha!! Sun Bofu is about to send troops soon, and Jingzhou will be attacked by the enemy in the back, and even if Zhuge Liang has great talent, he is also powerless. Lone took advantage of the situation to wave his troops to attack, and he was bound to be like a bamboo, invincible, and invincible, so that Jingzhou could be broken!! ”

Seeing the opportunity, all the officials hurriedly bowed to him.

"This shows the Rui of the pig dragon. The king of Jingzhou is just around the corner! ”

So Cao Cao was calm and came to Xiangyang Road that day. Zhuge Liang was in the city, and suddenly reported that Cao Cao had led his troops to kill again. The generals were shocked when they heard this, and they all persuaded Zhuge Liang to stick to it, Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, his eyes were cold, but he said.

"Don't panic. This must be Cao Cao's receipt of Sun Bofu's documents, and he learned that Sun Bofu will send troops to Jingzhou soon, so he wants to come and disturb our position first, so that we and others are weak, so as to help Sun Bofu take advantage of the void! ”

Hearing this, Pan Feng hurriedly asked Zhuge Liang.

"If that's the case, what will happen to the military advisor?"

"It rained heavily for several days, and it was difficult for the land of Xiangyang to march. Cao Cao insisted on raising troops, and he was committing a taboo in soldiers. General Pan can rest assured that as long as we guard the city, defend the city, and wait for work, we can win. ”

Zhuge Liang's voice was a little cold through the bones. Pan Feng was stunned, and couldn't help but feel a little more worried.

Cao Cao drove his army to the city of Xiangyang, set up a position, and scolded the challenge. In the city, Cao Jun was insulted in every way, and Zhuge Liang only did not fight. Cao Cao thought that Xiangyang's troops were insufficient, and the battle that day greatly frustrated Zhuge Liang's spirit, and Zhuge Liang did not dare to fight. Cao Cao then stationed troops five miles outside the city, divided his troops day and night, and scolded the battle under the city.

Five or six days later, at noon, Zhuge Liang visited the city, and saw that Cao Bing was tired and his spirit had fallen, so he dismounted and sat down, his eyes became cold, and he quickly ordered Zhang Fei to lead the army to battle. The gate of Xiangyang City suddenly opened, Zhang Fei flew out of the horse, led the army to set up a formation, Cao Cao heard the scouts coming to report, and quickly ordered the army to set up a position. The two formations were in a circle, and Zhang Fei went out to fight. Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu to go into battle to meet the enemy. Xu Chu received the order, slapped the horse and rushed out, Zhang Fei saw that it was Xu Chu, it can be said that the enemy was very red when he saw him, and immediately rushed straight with a spear.

Xu Chu shouted, greeted Zhang Fei, the two fought for dozens of rounds, Zhang Fei was defeated, turned the horse and left, Xu Chu chased and killed from behind. The Jingzhou soldiers retreated in a panic.

Xiahoudun was overjoyed when he saw this, and urgently persuaded Cao Cao to wave his army to cover up the killing. Cao Cao frowned and ordered the armies not to move. The next day, Zhang Fei came to fight again. Cao Bing's large array opened, Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu and Dian Wei to go out together, Zhang Fei saw Xu Chu and Dian Wei rushing out left and right, the two scolded, but Zhang Fei did not answer, turned around and fled. The Jingzhou soldiers were once again anticlimactic, and most of the generals of the Cao clan were angry and impatient, and repeatedly asked Cao Cao for battle.

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly woke up and quickly called the army to withdraw to Dazhai. As soon as Cao Cao's order fell, although the generals of the Cao clan were suspicious, they did not dare to disobey Cao Cao's military order. Cao Cao led his troops to retreat sharply, and when he rushed to the vicinity of Dazhai, he heard a loud shout and a loud drum and horn. Seeing that Pan Feng led the army to attack Dazhai, Xiahou Yuan, who was guarding the camp, was leading the army to resist. Cao Cao was shocked and hurriedly called for the army to rush to help. At this moment, there was a violent shout of killing behind him, Zhang Fei took the lead and rushed at a gallop, as if the sky was collapsing. Cao Cao was caught off guard, and was driven under the cover by Zhang Fei, and shouted loudly, like the sound of thunder. Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who happened to be guarding Cao Cao's side, arrived in time to resist Zhang Fei. Jingzhou soldiers and horses swarmed up, and Cao's soldiers were exhausted and were immediately killed in chaos. Cao Cao took advantage of the chaos to escape, Zhang Fei and Dian Wei and Xu Chu killed for a while, and when the soldiers of the army flocked to him, he took the opportunity to chase Cao Cao.

"Cao thief!! Accept your life!! ”

Zhang Fei roared loudly, like a galloping horse. Cao Cao saw Zhang Fei chasing after him, and he was frightened for a while, and suddenly Yu Ban and Le Jin killed from two ways and intercepted Zhang Fei to fight. Zhang Fei was blocked, attacked viciously, and killed Yu Ban and Le Jin. Fortunately, Xu Chu and Dian Wei arrived from behind, and Zhang Fei didn't dare to fight and rushed into the chaotic army. Dian Wei and Xu Chu saw that Jingzhou's troops were brave, but they were afraid that Cao Cao would lose, so they didn't dare to chase and kill Zhang Fei, so they hurriedly chased after Cao Cao.

Cao Cao rushed to help in time, Pan Feng failed to attack Cao Zhai, and the two Jingzhou soldiers and horses fought with Cao's army for a while, and then retreated. Cao's army was in chaos and couldn't catch up, and the generals were afraid of the might of Pan and Zhang, and the mud road was difficult to walk, so Cao Cao didn't dare to rashly send troops to cover up.

Pan Feng and Zhang Fei then led the army to retreat to Xiangyang City and came to see Zhuge Liang. Pan Feng shouted angrily.

"If it weren't for the injuries on his body, he would have been able to kill that Xiahou Miaocai today!!"

It turned out that Pan Feng led the army to attack Cao Zhai, and Xiahou Yuan, who was guarding Dazhai, was unexpected, and was almost broken through the shed by Pan Feng. Pan Feng rushed left and right, seeing that he was about to rush into the camp, Xiahou Yuan led the crossbowmen in the village to block it with random arrows, and Xiahou Yuan even fired arrows aimed directly at Pan Feng to shoot. Pan Feng was not as sensitive as before due to his injuries, and was almost shot by Xiahou Yuan many times and was forced to retreat. Later, Cao Cao's army arrived, and Pan Feng saw that the situation was extreme, so he had no choice but to withdraw his army.

"General Pan is calm. Cao Cao was defeated in this formation, and he would not dare to attack rashly, and General Pan happened to use this time to recuperate from his injuries. When General Pan's injuries heal, it will be the time for my Jingzhou army to break the Cao thief! ”

Zhuge Liang flicked the goose feather fan and said in a condensed voice. When Pan Feng and Zhang Fei heard this, most of the impatience on their bodies faded.

It is said that Cao Cao was defeated for a while, and nearly thousands of soldiers and horses were folded, and the strength of the army was only 80,000, and a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses were folded before and after. The soldiers and horses of Jingzhou have only folded more than 10,000 troops so far, and the strength of the Cao army is several times more than it, and the fierce generals in Xiangyang, only Pan and Zhang are two, which can be said to be a small number of soldiers, Cao Cao has many powerful people, and the fierce generals are like clouds, but they have lost several times the soldiers lost by the other army.

Cao Cao was angry, but he was not emotional, and stormed Xiangyang, ordering all the troops to tightly guard the camp and wait for the opportunity. One day, Cao Cao saw Zhang Fei leading hundreds of horsemen, straight to the front of the village, back and forth like flying. Cao Cao watched for a long time, threw his bag on the ground, and shouted angrily.

"Zhuge Kongming is really too deceitful!!"

Behind Cao Cao, Xu Chu listened, his heart was angry, and he shouted fiercely.

"I'd rather die here and swear to destroy Zhuge Kongming!!"
