Chapter 268: Peng Cheng is broken
"It's really a joke that Yuan Shu is also worthy of being the assassin of Yuzhou, he sealed it himself, and the people of the local chickens and dogs also dared to let me Guan Yu open the city and surrender." Guan Yu said proudly, his face full of disdain.
Even if he already knew Guan Yu's arrogant and arrogant character, but being so humiliated by Guan Yu, Ji Ling would definitely not be able to stand it, after all, Ji Ling himself was also a violent temper.
"Nameless rats, dare to speak out and take their lives!" Ji Ling was furious, carrying a weapon, and rushed towards Guan Yu on horseback.
"Those who sell the first thing in the bid dare to speak out!" Guan Yu's face was disdainful.
Carrying a knife in one hand to meet Ji Ling.
The two horses were getting closer and closer, and Guan Yu took the lead in making a move, raising a knife with one hand and slashing down.
"Bang!"
Ji Ling held the axe with both hands, and actually blocked Guan Yu's powerful knife.
Then the second knife, the third knife, and the fourth knife, Ji Ling was next, the more fierce he became, and after nearly thirty battles, Guan Yu didn't take Ji Ling, Guan Yu was a little angry.
The two fought for another twenty or thirty times, and slowly Ji Ling gradually lost his opponent.
After more than ten times, Ji Ling was completely suppressed and extremely dangerous.
In the end, the battle ended in Ji Ling's defeat, but Ji Ling held on to Guan Yu for more than seventy years.
……
On the second day,
Ji Ling continued to call the battle, this time Ji Ling did not choose to fight with Guan Yu, he knew that he was not Guan Yu's opponent, and continuing to fight would only affect the morale of his side.
Ji Ling directly ordered the army to attack the city, and tens of thousands of troops launched an attack on Xia Picheng.
Although Guan Yu is arrogant and has no one in his eyes, he still has the ability, not only is he strong in martial arts, but he is also very proficient in the art of war.
Under the command of Guan Yu, Xiapicheng fully resisted more than ten waves of attacks by Yuan Shu's army, and held on for three days.
However, it is a pity that Xiapi City was besieged, and Guan Yu was not only unable to send letters, but also unable to know what was happening in the outside world.
On the second day of Ji Ling's siege, Ji Ling sent several soldiers disguised as Guan Yu's subordinates to Pengcheng Liu Bei's station.
PENG Cheng,
Inside the council hall.
A soldier wearing tattered armor and covered in wounds stood in front of Liu Bei and reported to Liu Bei.
"Lord, now that Xiapi City is surrounded by Ji Ling's army, my subordinates and a group of brothers came to die on the orders of General Guan, and now I am the only one left."
"What happened to the second brother, what is the situation in Xiapi City now?" Liu Bei hurriedly asked.
"When General Guan commanded the soldiers to defend the city, he was unfortunately shot in the right shoulder by a stray arrow and was injured a little, because General Guan was injured, so the soldiers were leaderless, and the city of Pi, which was originally safe, was chaotic at this time, and I am afraid that it will not be long before it may be broken."
The Eastern Han Dynasty was different from later generations, there were no anti-inflammatory drugs, and if you were shot by an arrow, it was easy to get infected, and if you didn't deal with it in a short time, it was easy to die, so it was not a small injury at that time, and it can even be said that at that time, a random injury could kill people.
"What, the second brother is injured, how is the second brother now, you tell me clearly." As soon as he heard that Guan Yu was injured, Zhang Fei on the side was in a hurry, and rushed directly to grab the collar of the armor soldier.
"Third brother, stop!" Liu Bei immediately scolded angrily.
"Humph!" Zhang Fei had no choice but to let go.
The armor soldier hurriedly wiped the sweat from his head, this Zhang Fei's strength was not a joke, just now it almost made his injured body more injured.
"Is what you say true?" Liu Bei looked at the armor soldier and asked in a deep voice.
"What the villain said is true!" The armor said categorically.
"Bring the letter!" Liu Bei commanded.
Jia Shi immediately took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei frowned after reading it, and he said solemnly, "Why doesn't this letter look like my second brother's handwriting?" ”
"Lord, General Guan was injured in the right shoulder, and it was a little inconvenient to write, so the handwriting is not so similar." The armor immediately explained.
"I see!" Liu Bei nodded.
"Someone will take down this thief!" Liu Bei suddenly shouted, so that everyone didn't react, but in a moment, Zhang Qing and Guan Sheng rushed out and grabbed the armor soldier left and right.
"My lord. Why is that? The armor was stunned and hurriedly asked.
"Humph! Why, with my second brother's arrogant nature, how could he write me a letter asking for help, what a joke, saying, who sent you, what is your purpose, say it and spare your life? Liu Bei shouted angrily.
"The lord is wronged, I was really sent by General Guan!" The armor argued.
"Dare to quibble, take him down, and wait for the fate!" Liu Bei said angrily.
"No!"
Zhang Qing and Guan Sheng were about to drag the armor out.
The armor began to panic, Liu Bei happened to see this scene, and immediately said, "Speak up quickly, I will give you a chance, if you don't say it, you will be killed!" ”
Hearing the three words of killing without forgiveness, the first soldier panicked, broke free from Zhang Qing and Guan Sheng's hands, ran to Liu Bei and knelt down, "The lord forgives the sin, I was not sent by General Guan, but by Vice General Sun, the lord spares his life!" ”
"Vice Admiral Sun!" Liu Bei was stunned at first, but instantly understood who this Vice General Sun was.
This Deputy General Sun was originally a general under Tao Qian, and he was quite capable, because of this, Liu Bei arranged him to be Guan Yu's deputy.
"Let's talk carefully, why did Vice General Sun send you here, and he also pretended to be my second brother's handwriting." Liu Bei scolded.
"Vice General Sun was worried that his people were soft-spoken, and his words would not make the lord send troops, but General Guan was unwilling to write a letter for help, so he had to send someone to imitate General Guan's handwriting and ordered me to send the letter!" The armor said with a mournful cry.
"What happened to Xiapi?" Liu Bei hurriedly asked.
For the words of this soldier, Liu Bei had already believed three points at this time.
"As the villain just said, General Guan was injured, Vice General Sun was unable to support himself, and Xiapi City was besieged and precarious." The armor continued.
"Someone is here to take him down!" Liu Bei believed in Jiashi's words a little, but he couldn't fully believe them, so he immediately ordered someone to take him down.
"Big brother, if it's really as this person said, wouldn't the second brother be very dangerous." After the others took them away, Zhang Fei immediately asked Liu Bei.
"I can't draw conclusions yet, Yide, you immediately send someone to investigate the situation in Picheng." Liu Bei said.
"Yide understands!" Zhang Fei immediately agreed, and immediately left the arrangement without delay.
Three days later, the people sent by Zhang Fei came back, and confirmed from their mouths that the words of the armor soldier were indeed besieged, and the men and horses of the Yuan army were indeed attacking the city day and night, and the situation inside was not clear.
Liu Bei immediately made a decision, he asked Zhang Fei to lead 5,000 soldiers to defend Pengcheng, and he took Zhang Qing and Guan Sheng to lead the rest of the soldiers to Xiapi to support.
……
"Yide, you have a heavy responsibility, remember to be cautious, my brother knows that you like to drink, but these days my brother wants you to quit drinking. Drink and make mistakes, remember, remember! Before leaving, Liu Bei instructed Zhang Fei left and right.
"Big brother, don't worry, I Zhang Fei will definitely give you a complete Pengcheng, with me Zhang Fei here, then this bull ghost snake god doesn't want to attack the city!" Zhang Fei immediately patted his chest and reassured.
"That's fine, go for my brother!" Liu Bei nodded, although he didn't believe it, but the fighter plane was in a row, and Xiapi was in danger, Liu Bei couldn't say anything more, and immediately took the men and horses to Xiapi.
At this time, Guan Yu had been holding the city for nearly ten days, and Xiapi City had been safe and sound, but the Yuan army had suffered heavy losses, in Guan Yu's opinion, it would not be long before he could go out of the city to fight with the Yuan army, but when he was relieved, he didn't know that this opportunity was gone.
It is said that after Liu Bei left, as soon as Zhang Fei returned to his mansion, he ignored Liu Bei's dissuasion when he left, and set up a banquet, and the others didn't dare to say anything, so they could only let him go.
Sometimes when someone reminded him to dissuade him, he would use the excuse that the enemy was all in Xiapi, and if someone continued to dissuade him, he would reprimand him a few times, and then beat and scolded him in a big way.
This went on for two days, and on the third day something finally happened.
Zhang Fei had just finished drinking at this time and lay down to rest.
Suddenly, a commotion woke him up.
"What's going on!" Zhang Fei kicked open the door with anger and walked out.
At this time, a general in armor hurriedly ran over.
"What's going on?" Zhang Fei grabbed the man and asked.
"General Zhang, the Yuan army has attacked the city, and now that the west gate has been broken, the general should withdraw quickly!"
