When Liu Bei's army was dispatched, Cao Cao's army had also been assembled. Cao Cao led an army of 10,000 with Xiahoudun as the vanguard and went straight to Runan to kill. However, the time was ten days later than Liu Bei's troops.

In Runan City, although Liu Bi and Gong Du had received the assistance of Yuan Shu, they had recently recruited troops and horses to build a team of 100,000 people. But the team is up, but most of these soldiers were farmers before, and they have not been systematically trained at all, God knows how much combat power they can have!

"Big brother, how should we deal with Cao Jun's killing?" Gong Du asked worriedly.

"Hey, Brother Xian won't tell you, I don't have the bottom in my heart now! The only way to do this is to defend the city! Fortunately, there is a lot of food and grass in the city, and it is not a problem to keep it for half a year. Liu Bi replied with a sigh.

"Big brother, why did you say that Yuan Shu didn't send troops to help us resist Cao Cao, if he sent troops to support, wouldn't it be better to defend Runan?"

"Brother Xian, you are too naïve, then Yuan Shule let you and my brother fight to the death with Cao Cao, it is best for us to die together, otherwise what do you think he gave us so much money and food for?" Liu Bi smiled bitterly.

"Yuan Shu of this dog day, I said how kind he is, he is both an official and an aid, it turns out that we let our brother fight with Cao ** for him! No, big brother, we can't be fooled! Gong Du said angrily.

"Hey!" Liu Pi sighed and said, "I know what you said, Brother Xian, but Cao Cao's army is pressing, if you and my brother don't want to surrender, then the only way to fight is to fight!" ”

Gong Du thought about it, it was really like this, Yuan Shu could be regarded as having eaten them. Even if it wasn't for Yuan Shu, for their own interests, then the northern rejection of Cao Cao was something that the two of them needed to complete.

Thinking of this, Gong Du glared and said, "him!" How can there be such a cheap thing, big brother, you replied that Yuan Shu If you and my brother want to guard Runan for him, at least ten more beauties must be sent, and there will be ten catties of gold per person! By the way, there is still food to ask him for another 50,000 loads! ”

Liu Bi nodded and said, "What the virtuous brother said is extremely true! For my brother, I will write a letter to that Yuan Shu! By the way, you go and tell Chen Dao, let him train his troops hard, Cao Jun is about to call, when will his 20,000 recruits be able to train well! ”

"It's big brother! In other words, Chen still has a hand in training for that kid, and after the 10,000 people under my command let him practice, his combat power has improved a lot! Thanks to the eldest brother, you are kind to him, otherwise he might not be able to work somewhere! Gong Du said with a smile.

"This time the Cao army is coming, I still expect his 20,000 new troops to play a miraculous effect, I warn you not to fight the idea of 20,000 people! Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my face! Liu Bi warned at the moment.

"Big brother, look at what you said, how can I! Rest assured, I won't touch those 20,000 people. Gong Du assured. Liu Bi saw that what he said was true, so he nodded and waved his hand to let him go down! After Gong Du left, Liu Bi took out a piece of silk cloth and began to write letters to Yuan Shu asking for money and grain.

The distance from Xuchang to Runan was more than 500 miles, and Xiahoudun led the vanguard army to march for five days and came to a place that was still fifty miles away from Runan City. At this time, the scout came to report that the four gates of Runan City were closed, and the city head was crowded. It seems that the other party has made up his mind to defend the city!

When Xiahoudun heard the report, he nodded and commanded the army to advance thirty miles, and set up camp twenty miles away from the city! Then he cut down trees to make ladders, and just waited for Cao Cao's army to arrive, and then began to attack Runan City!

It is said that the defender at the head of the city is none other than Chen Dao, he saw that Cao Jun was actually close to the city and camped twenty times, obviously he didn't take the defenders to heart. So I started the idea of a night attack. It's just that when he talked about the night attack, Liu Bi and Gong didn't agree. Gong Duyan said: "That Cao army is strong and strong, and it is said that he has just subdued the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!" If you attack rashly, you will be baptized in blood, so you might as well defend the city! ”

Liu Bi nodded yes after listening! Chen Zhi was unconvinced and said: "Our army is a human being, and Cao Jun is also a human being!" I watched at the head of the city today, and the Cao army will be ahead of the competition, thinking that I dare not go out of the city! Therefore, its camp is not only only twenty miles away from the city, but also the large revenue is lax, and there is an opportunity to take advantage of it! I beg the general to allow me to go out of the city and fight! ”

After hearing this, Liu Bi was a little moved and said, "Uncle, do you really want to go out of the city and steal the camp?" ”

"It's true, General Qing agreed!"

"Okay, then you will take the 20,000 new troops you have trained to go, and if you don't win, you will not be able to raise the matter of the city!"

"Obey!" Chen Zhi happily took the order and went down to prepare! After seeing him leave, Gong didn't understand: "Big brother, what are you?" ”

"Hahaha! Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers! Tonight, you and I will go to the city to have a look, and let him try Cao Jun's reality first! Liu Bi said with a smile.

In the evening, Chen Zhi asked his men to have dinner early, and then took advantage of the night to leave Runan City. Twenty miles took only half an hour, and 20,000 horses came to the vicinity of Cao's camp.

Chen Zhiwan looked at the camp and found that Cao Jun had rested early after a tired day! Even the guards at the camp gate were leaning against the gate with their spears and napping! "Good chance!" Chen Zhi called the guards around him at the moment, so they followed him to clear the Cao army at the gate first!

So a few people took advantage of the cover of night to touch the edge of the camp. Chen Zhi jumped up suddenly, rushed to the front of a defender with an arrow step, and hacked him to death with a sword in his hand! His guards also ran over and killed the other three guards who were guarding the door! Chen Zhi kicked open the gate of Cao's military camp and shouted: "Sons, kill with me!" ”

After shouting, go to the camp first! Xiahoudun didn't expect that someone in the city would dare to come out and rob the camp! By the time he was awakened by the shouts of killing, the camp was already in chaos. In the dark, Xiahoudun didn't know how many people came from the other party, and he didn't dare to fight, so he led people to kill a bloody way and fled. This run is more than 20 miles, and it is easy to stop and see that the 10,000 troops he brought out are less than 1,000 people!

"Ahh Xiahou shouted angrily twice, and had the intention to lead people to kill back! But reason told him not to do that! Glancing fiercely at the direction of the camp, Xiahoudun and Manu snorted: "Let's go!" "Take the rest of the way with you!

Liu Bi and Gong both looked at each other at the head of the city, and said in their hearts: "This is a victory!" This Cao Jun is not very good! Could it be that how strong they were before, this was all passed on by Cao Jun himself? In order to make people afraid that they will not succeed? How else can this be explained? ”

Regardless, Chen won the first battle by a big margin. With 20,000 new troops, Xiahoudun's 10,000 infantry cavalry was defeated and returned, not only capturing 5,000 soldiers, but also capturing a large number of food and ordnance! The most important thing is that this battle made Liu Bi and Gong Du, who were a little afraid of Cao Jun before, change their minds! Let's make the battles fun!

The second watch, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a collection, ask for a reward, ask for a recommendation. Thank you for your strong support, I will definitely work harder!
