Chapter 302: The Battle of Pengcheng
Ji Ling, who had just settled down, was resting in the big tent, when suddenly a messenger came to the tent and reported: "General Qiyu, the Cao army is raising troops and rushing towards our camp." ”
Ji Ling frowned, and muttered: "This Cao Cao didn't go to attack Pengcheng, what did he do when he came to attack this general?" It's okay to take the opportunity to avenge General Zhang! ”
After that, Ji Ling also ordered all the men and horses, and went out of the camp to meet Cao Cao's army.
The two armies lined up in formation, and Ji Ling looked at the Cao general on the opposite side, who was majestic, but he was a little angry, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you?" Why didn't you see Cao Cao come in person? ”
Dian Wei snorted lightly and said: "I am Dian Wei, the commander of Cao Gong's account, you are not staying in Huaiyang honestly, what are you doing in Xuzhou?" ”
Ji Ling snorted coldly and said: "Cao Cao raised troops and brutalized the people, the lord of my family can't look past it, so he specially ordered General Ben to come and help Tao Gong to break the er." ”
"Hmph, Tao Qian is full of evil, and Er Nai is helping to abuse!" Dian Wei scolded.
Ji Ling was furious and shouted, "Phew! Righteous people, take your life! ”
After that, Ji Ling waved the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand, shouted, and killed Dian Wei, who did not show weakness, took off his double halberd, and slapped his horse to face the battle.
When he was in Nanyang before, Ji Ling had fought with several generals under Cao Cao and knew how powerful they were.
And Dian Wei, who was against the enemy this time, did not encounter it last time, and according to Ji Ling's estimation, it should not be more powerful than Xiahoudun.
However, after a few rounds, Ji Ling was distressed in his heart, and the opponent's Dian Wei was obviously braver than Xiahou Dun.
His pair of iron halberds were not only extremely heavy, but also the attack angle was very tricky, which made Ji Ling unable to defend himself.
After a short fight, Ji Ling immediately judged that he was not Dian Wei's opponent at all, and if he continued to fight, he would lose or win.
So, Ji Ling was ruthless, brushed, and swung two knives hard, temporarily forcing Dian Wei to retreat, but he turned his horse and retreated into the army.
When Dian Wei saw that Ji Ling had escaped from the battle, he couldn't help but be furious, waved the iron halberd in his hand, and shouted: "Kill!" ”
When the sergeants behind him heard Dian Wei's order, they shouted and killed Ji Ling's army.
Ji Ling returned to his own position, and when he saw that the Cao army was attacking, he hurriedly called a messenger and ordered: "Go to Pengcheng quickly, let Tao Qian go out of the city, and attack from both sides, and the Cao army will be broken." ”
Seeing that the messengers left and headed in the direction of Pengcheng, Ji Ling also hurriedly gave an order to meet Cao's army.
Only this time, he didn't dare to challenge Dian Wei again, but brandished a three-pointed two-edged knife to kill small soldiers.
For a time, the two armies were fighting, and the two sides killed and cut me, and the scene was quite tragic.
The messenger didn't dare to slack off, and came to Pengcheng City non-stop, shouting: "I am the envoy of General Ji Ling under the general Yuan Shu's account, I have an urgent military situation, and I need to meet Tao Xuzhou!" ”
When the general defending the city heard that it was Yuan Shu's person, he did not dare to slack off, and saw that there were no pursuers around, so he hurriedly lowered the drawbridge and let the messenger enter the city.
After the messenger entered Pengcheng, under the leadership of the defending sergeant, he came directly to Tao Qian's mansion.
Tao Qian attached great importance to it, after all, it was the messenger sent by his own reinforcements, and he hurriedly gathered his subordinates to see what was going on.
After the messenger entered the lobby, he didn't have time to say hello, and said directly: "Tao Gong, Cao Cao sent troops to attack General Ji Ling, I hope Tao Gong sent troops out of the city, and the Cao soldiers will be broken in both directions!" ”
When Tao Qian heard this, a trace of essence flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he patted the case and said: "Hmph, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, Cao Cao can't sit still, where is Cao Bao?" ”
"The last general!" Cao Bao approached and answered.
"General Cao, order you to lead the Pengcheng soldiers and horses to attack the Cao soldiers, be sure to break it!" Tao Qian said.
"Order!"
As soon as Cao Bao hugged his fists, he was about to turn around and go out to rectify the soldiers and horses, but he was stopped by Mi Zhu, and said: "Tao Gong can't, Cao Cao has always been treacherous, beware of this is a trick to lure the enemy!" ”
When Tao Qian heard this, he moved slightly, turned his head and asked Chen Deng, "Yuanlong, how is this matter good?" ”
Chen Deng thought for a while and said: "If it is Cao Cao's treacherous plan, it is not impossible, however, if it is really Cao Cao who raised troops to attack General Ji, this is a good opportunity to break Cao." ”
Whether it was Cao Cao's trick or not, Chen Deng did not say it clearly, Tao Qian also fell into contemplation, and Cao Bao was stunned, not knowing how to advance or retreat.
The messenger was in a hurry and said: "Tao Gong, General Ji has come to rescue Xuzhou on the order of General Yuan, and now that Cao Cao is attacking, how can Tao Gong sit idly by?" ”
After listening to the words of the messenger, Tao Qian seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "The old man has made up his mind, Cao Bao quickly go and rectify the soldiers and horses, and go out of the city to plan General Ji to break Cao!" ”
"Order!"
Cao Bao didn't hesitate this time, and turned around and left directly, and there were other people in the province who put forward different opinions and let him wait there.
Sure enough, as soon as Cao Bao left, Mi Zhu said again: "Now that the situation is unclear, it is only advisable to stick to the city, and when Cao Cao's food is exhausted, it will definitely be broken, and it is really unwise to take such a risk." ”
Tao Qian frowned, snorted coldly, and said, "Zizhong wants to trap the old man in injustice? ”
Mi Zhu was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Why did Tao Gong say this?" ”
"General Ji originally came to save my Xuzhou, but was attacked by Cao Cao, if the old man didn't go out of the city to save him, wouldn't the world think that the old man was ungrateful?" Tao Qian said unhappily.
"This ......" Mi Zhu was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained, "That's not what I mean." ”
Tao Qian waved his hand impatiently and said: "Now that the enemy is present, we need to fight with the enemy, Zizhong, you can go to the Cen Bi camp and let him send troops together, which can also reduce some pressure." ”
"Yes!"
Mi Zhu sighed and walked out, he always felt that something was wrong with this military operation, but since Tao Qian had already decided, he couldn't change it.
Mi Zhu came to Cen Bi's camp in the north and brought Tao Qian's words, but Cen Bi was very happy and immediately agreed to raise troops.
So, Cen Bi and Mi Zhu led 3,000 Qingzhou reinforcements and moved forward quickly to rescue Ji Ling.
However, before he had reached half the distance, suddenly there was a shout of killing from the side of the road, and a group of men and horses rushed over from the side.
Cen Bi was taken aback, hurriedly rushed to the front, and shouted, "Who is coming?" Why are you in my way? ”
"I am the commander of the Yanzhou Mu Cao Gong Tent, and I have been waiting here for a long time, why don't you get off the horse and surrender?" Yu Ban shouted.
Cen Bi was furious and shouted: "You dare to underestimate me? Look at the guns! ”
After saying that, Cen Bi raised the spear in his hand and killed Yu Ban; Yu Ban snorted coldly, urged the horse forward, and faced Cen Bi with a three-pointed knife.
Where is this Cen Bi's opponent in the ban, after more than a dozen rounds, he is already invincible, and he wants to return to the formation, but he is helpless because of the tight entanglement, and he can't get out at all.
After another three rounds, Yu Ban shouted, only to hear a loud sound, the spear in Cen Bi's hand was shot away by Yu Ban, and the three-pointed knife then stabbed towards Cen Bi's choked throat! [.]
