Zhang Liao's 20,000 vanguard army set up camp fifty miles outside Xiapi City, and after Xiapi City Detective heard the news, Wu Liren suddenly thought that in the romance, Chen Gong suggested that Lu Bu take advantage of the fact that Cao's military camp was not stable, and take the opportunity to raid. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info He wanted to try to talk to Zong Ze about this idea.

"Ru Lin, what if he led the army to rob the camp when his camp was first established? Will it be successful? ”

When Zong Ze heard this, he immediately shook his head, his expression solemn, "The lord can't!" Although Cao's army had just settled down in the camp, it was also fifty miles away from Xiapi, and our army was all foot soldiers, suitable for defense, but not suitable for attacking. The enemy army has 5,000 elite tigers and leopards, but it is suitable for charging outside the city, our army has no army to fight, only to defend, and now out of the city will be defeated. ”

Zong Ze's words made Wu Liren a little embarrassed, Zong Ze's words are indeed very reasonable, if you can't be good at distinguishing the situation, you think that other people's strategies can be borrowed, and you will only die miserably. Lu Bu had elite cavalry under his command at the beginning, and Chen Gong suggested that a sneak attack might be successful. Under Wu Liren, there is only an infantry army, but it is not suitable for attacking the camp at all.

Wu Liren had no choice but to say embarrassedly: "What General Zong said is extremely true, but I am too anxious. ”

As if the two sides had agreed, there was no action, and Zhang Liao just sent spies to inquire about information.

A few days later, Cao Cao personally led an army of 50,000 to meet Xu Chu, and Zhang Liao personally reported the military situation to Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister, now that I can find out that the army of Xiapi is now fully deployed by a person named Zong Ze, and now that Xiapi City is in full battle, it seems that it has been prepared for a long time."

"Who is Zong Ze? Why not Chen Yonghua? ”

If you don't know Chen Jinnan, it's in vain to call yourself a hero! Cao Cao also heard such a sentence, although he didn't pay too much attention to it, but he still wanted to meet Chen Jinnan for a while, but he didn't expect that his little wish was not fulfilled.

"I heard that this person was originally a hundred commanders under Wu Ming's account, and he was just directly promoted by Wu Ming to the rank of lieutenant general of the overseer army some time ago, and he is fully responsible for all the army dispatches in Xiapi."

After hearing this, Cao Cao was instantly stunned in place, everyone didn't know why he Cao Cao reacted so much, Guo Jia shouted softly, "Prime Minister? ”

Lu Bu suddenly thought about something, and laughed, "This Wu Ming child is just too child's play, he even temporarily changed the main general, not to mention whether Zong Ze is really capable, if the rest of the soldiers under the account are unconvinced, if civil strife arises, then the prime minister will be able to take down Xiapi without much effort." Congratulations Prime Minister! ”

Cao Cao shook his head and looked at everyone with an extremely serious expression, "Feng Xian's words are too optimistic, although I have never been afraid of Wu Ming's momentum, but there is one thing I have to admire, that is, Wu Ming's wisdom of knowing people." Now that he has temporarily used Zong Ze, presumably Zong Ze must have something special. ”

"The Prime Minister's words are extremely true! At the end of these days, I will observe that the generals and soldiers in Xiapi City are well dispatched, and the city defense is in order, and Xiaopei, not far from here, is garrisoned by Zhao Yun, Xuyi is garrisoned by Zongyi, and the three cities are in the horns. Zhang Liao continued to report what he had heard.

Cao Cao paced back and forth, as if he was in deep thought, and everyone didn't dare to disturb, only to see Cao Cao suddenly smile and say: "Wenyuan's words are very much in line with my wishes!" Xiahoudun, lead you to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses, and camp twenty miles outside Xuyi City to prevent Zongfu from rescuing each other. ”

"The last general commands!"

"Xu Chu, you continue to lead five thousand tigers and leopards to ride, and garrison ten miles outside Xiaopei City to block Zhao Yun."

Hearing that he was going to resist Zhao Yun, Xu Chu happily took the order.

"Cao Ren, you lead an army of 10,000 to attack Xiapi."

Cao Ren also replied: "The last general is ordered!" ”

"Pass my order, the rest of the army will move to camp, set up camp thirty miles outside Xiapi City, and prepare to attack the city tomorrow."

The news of the arrival of Cao Cao's army reached Xiapi City, and Zong Ze ordered that the city gate be closed and no one would be allowed to enter or leave again. The guards on the city wall kept an eye on the movements of the Cao army, and Chen Jinnan and Wu Liren both climbed the city wall with Zong Ze to watch the movements of the Cao army.

Cao Ren led a 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers to scatter in the open space under the city of Xiapi, and several people lifted a cloud ladder, surrounded by a pair of people with shields, to resist the stray arrows flying down the city wall. I saw Cao Ren pointing the spear in his hand and shouting loudly: "Siege!" The person who climbs the city wall first will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and the county will be closed! ”

With the sound of drums, the Qingzhou soldiers began their first tentative siege. As arrows rained down on the walls, many people fell despite shields. But none of them retreated, they knew that if they retreated now, they would face the sword in the hands of the general. Finally, someone managed to rush to the city wall of Xiapi City and raised the ladder high. Just as Cao Jun scrambled to climb the ladder, he saw that on the city wall, dozens of pounds of large stones fell from the sky and smashed down to Cao Bing, who was the first to climb the ladder, and for a while, the screams were endless; The corpse of Cao Bing, who was desperate, fell from the ladder, and smashed into the people who climbed up behind, and for a while, Cao Bing rolled down from the ladder like dumplings. And the soldiers on the city wall, a few people lifted a large piece of wood together, and smashed it against Cao Jun who was strung together on the ladder, and the wood was run over along the ladder, as if a car wheel had run over. Pity this Qingzhou soldier, he can only wail in pain, but he still has to continue to attack.

Cao Ren watched the tragic situation of the attack not far away, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but move, and suddenly he shouted loudly: "Mingjin retreats!" ”

Cao Jun, who suddenly heard the order to withdraw his troops, couldn't believe it for a while, and then shouted as if he was about to be amnesty, and rushed back without hesitating anything, leaving many corpses and broken ladders under the city wall, and no one paid attention to it anymore.

Wu Liren on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Zong Ze and Chen Jinnan and smiled, "I didn't expect Cao Jun to be defeated so easily!" General Zong and Master Chen's book is gone! ”

Zong Ze still shook his head again, "Lord, the Cao army did not use all his strength, this should be just a tentative attack, it only lasted for half an hour, and there were more than a thousand casualties at most, so we must not relax." ”

Wu Liren naturally understands, but as long as he blocks the attack, he is very happy in his heart, the victory in the defense, the morale of the generals in the city is high, why not?

And in Xuyi, when Zong Wei saw the Xiahoudun army stationed not far from the city, he sighed slightly in his heart: Cao Thief sent an army here, it must be to prevent me from leading the army to rescue, I don't know when Cao Cao will attack in a big way.

Not long after, he received news that Cao Cao had begun a major siege of the city.

Zong Wei slapped the table, immediately got up, and ordered the army to gather, his five thousand iron-blooded troops were already ready to go, as soon as the gate of Xuyi City opened, the army rushed towards the Xiahou Dun camp.

After receiving the news, Xiahoudun immediately organized his army and faced Zongyu's iron-blooded army.

"Drop! It was detected that Zong Wei and his Iron Blood Army were affected by Zong Ze's anger, and his strength was +2, and Zong Wei's current force value was increased to 97."

The two armies were close to each other, and the sound of shouts and battles filled the entire plain, and the army under the command of Xiahoudun was also an elite division, so even in the face of the iron-blooded army with the effect of force +2 aura, it was not very inferior. At this moment, Xiahoudun saw Zong Wei who was killing in all directions in the chaotic army, he shouted, and the spear in his hand went straight to Zong Wei. (To be continued.) )
