708, Yue Fei's arrow retreated from Lu Bu, and Cao Ren personally invited Pang Tong
At this time, the combined attack of the two finally had an effect, although Fan Yufeng could hardly put any pressure on Lu Bu, but as time went on, the pressure faced by Zhao Yun became smaller and smaller, and the balance of victory gradually tilted.
However, at this time, the injury Fan Yufeng had just suffered made her feel more and more strained as the battle progressed, and whenever she exerted force, her chest felt a cramp. At first, she gritted her teeth and persisted for more than a dozen rounds in order to fight against Lu Bu with Zhao Yun, but as this high-intensity battle continued, she felt more and more that her hands and feet did not obey her call.
Zhao Yun also noticed Fan Yufeng's state at this time, he was worried in his heart, and while blocking Lu Bu's painting halberd, he hurriedly shouted: "Madam, you go first!" No need to fight! β
Lu Bu naturally saw Fan Yufeng's state, and he laughed and said, "Don't even think about leaving today!" After speaking, he turned the target of the attack to Fan Yufeng again.
At this moment, Lu Bu suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air behind him, Lu Bu was horrified, desperate, hurriedly flashed sideways, and the arrow just grazed past his ear. The frightened Lu Bu scolded angrily: "Which puppet dares to hurt people with a secret arrow!" β
At this time, I saw a horse approaching Lu Bu from far and near, shouting in his mouth: "General Zhao is panicking, Yue Fei is coming!" β
It turned out to be Yue Fei, who had just broken Wei Yan's reinforcements, and he knew Lu Bu's bravery, so he understood that Zhao Yun was probably not an opponent. When he saw that Lu Bu was about to kill Fan Yufeng, he immediately bent his bow and shot arrows, forcing Lu Bu to accept the blow.
Hearing that it was Yue Fei who saved Fan Yufeng just now, Zhao Yun hurriedly threw his hand to Yue Fei and replied very gratefully: "General Yue saved Yufeng today, that is my Zhao Yun's life-saving benefactor!" If he is sent one day, Zhao Yun will never give up! β
Yue Fei smiled and said, "General Zhao is outside!" I'll wait until we meet the enemy first! β
Lu Bu saw Yue Fei, his heart had already begun to beat the drum, he also knew about the reinforcements, and guessed that Yue Fei must have gone to intercept the rescue, now that Yue Fei has reappeared here, could it be that the reinforcements have been defeated?
"Yue Fei'er! You don't want to be rampant, eat my halberd! β
Yue Fei blocked the Liquan gun in his hand hard, and struggled to block Lu Bu's painting halberd, and Zhao Yun hurriedly stabbed out another shot from the side, Lu Bu instantly felt the huge pressure, plus the battle just now, his heart was a little weak, and he immediately turned his horse and left.
At this moment, I saw Zhang Liao rushing over and shouting loudly: "Wen Hou, Chen Xu's soldiers and horses have also been killed!" It seems that all the reinforcements on both sides have been killed and retreated, so I will hurry back to the city and wait for reinforcements! β
Lu Bu nodded, and he suddenly had a feeling that the sun was waning - Cao Cao seemed to be unreliable.
After a day of fierce fighting, the smoke of gunpowder was filled outside Caiyang City, and the soldiers on both sides were killed and wounded, piled up outside the city, as if telling the cruelty of the war. Chen Qingzhi asked people to collect the corpses of their soldiers first, and then found an open place and buried them together, and at the same time asked them to register their names and surnames and send them to Xiapi, so that Chen Jinnan and others could do a good job of their family's bereavement.
Zhang Liao and LΓΌ Bu stayed in the city, waiting to see if Cao Cao or Cao Ren would be able to organize a rescue again.
And the rescue of Cao Ren that Zhang Liao was looking forward to was simply a flash in the pan at this time, because Cao Ren was already unable to protect himself at this time.
After Er Zhurong led hundreds of remnants of the defeated army to flee back to Xiangyang, Cao Ren was completely disheartened, and he was no longer able to organize to resist the strength of Wu Liren's army.
At this time, he suddenly thought of Xu Shu's mother who Jia Kui asked him to invite back, and Cao Ren hurriedly asked, "Mr. Jia, is there any news about Xu Shu?" β
Jia Kui sighed, "I have already written a letter in the handwriting of Xu's mother and asked people to hand it over to Xu Shu, but I heard from the person who sent the letter that Xu Shu originally wanted to come immediately, but was stopped by another person in Liu Bei's army, and just said a few words, and then dispelled Xu Shu's plan to come to Xiangyang." Therefore, Jia's plan may have been seen through, and Xu Shu may not come again. β
Cao Ren smiled bitterly, this is the real end of the road!
"Did Qi Jiguang and Zhou Yu's army attack again?"
Jia Kui shook his head, "At first, the offensive was very fierce, but fortunately, General Shi Lang defended carefully and never let the enemy succeed, during this time, Qi Jiguang's water village was very calm, as if he was preparing to confront our army for a long time." β
The confrontation continues, but Cao Ren is not afraid! The food in Xiangyang City is enough for the army for a year, but Qi Jiguang's army will definitely not be able to support it for so long.
"It's so good, but I don't know how long Wenyuan can support it, and Xu Du can't pull out people for the time being. Although the Son of Heaven has ordered the princes to be the king, at this time, where will anyone listen to the orders of the Son of Heaven. β
Just as Cao Ren was thinking about how to break the situation, suddenly a soldier hurriedly ran in from outside, shouting: "The general is not good!" Fancheng was suddenly attacked by the army of the enemy generals Qin Zhao and Zhuge Liang, and General Yu Ban couldn't resist it and sent people to ask for help. β
In an instant, Cao Ren figured out why Qi Jiguang and Zhou Yu were now silent, and they were not preparing to confront, but to take Fancheng first, so that they could surround Xiangyang heavily, and even if they could hold on for a while, if there were no reinforcements, then Xiangyang's 20,000 soldiers and horses would only be captured. But now he doesn't have any extra troops to send out, otherwise once he divides his troops again, I'm afraid he will return as dismal as Er Zhurong.
Cao Ren scolded angrily: "Wu Ming'er, this is not leaving me a little way to live!" Tell me Yu Ban, no matter what, you have to hold it firmly, there are no reinforcements anywhere now, if you want to survive, let him rely on himself! The city is in the people, and the city is dead! β
That soldier had never seen Cao Ren lose such a big temper, and after hearing it, he hurriedly retreated, preparing to convey all Cao Ren's words to Yu Ban.
"General, please calm your anger, the situation is critical at this time, but the general is the backbone of the army, you can't mess up the proportions, and you still need to think in the long run!"
Cao Ren looked up and saw that it was Liang Xi, the chief historian of Jingzhou, his brows furrowed, and he suddenly looked at Jia Kui and said, "Perhaps, I should believe Mr. Jia once I go back and ask that Pang Tong to help me!" β
When Jia Kui heard this, his face was overjoyed, "The general is wise!" The country is in trouble, and the family is poor and thinks of a good wife. The subordinates believe that the phoenix will never let the general down. β
Cao Ren already had the attitude of breaking the jar at this time, if no one could help him break the situation now, the current situation was almost hopeless.
"Liang Xi, Li Tong, Er Zhurong, I'm going to leave for a few days, these days you have to take responsibility for the big and small things in the city, don't remember, don't hold on, wait for me to come back!"
