Chapter 428: Let them all come out
The night was dark.
In the city of Yuxian County, Zhang Xiujun's soldiers who were ready to go looked at Zhang Xiu who was riding on a tall horse.
"Soldiers!" Waving the long sword in his hand, Zhang Xiu shouted: "Cao Zirong hit us with a stone, if we continue like this, sooner or later, the city wall of Yuxian County will be smashed by him one day." You say, can we watch? ”
No one responded.
During the day, Zhang Xiujun was attacked by 900 boulders, and Zhang Xiujun's soldiers were all stunned, and many people's ears are still buzzing.
The soldiers did not respond, and Zhang Xiu was a little embarrassed.
After all, he has led troops for many years, and he can still maintain his calmness, and then shouted: "Of course we can't let him be so nonsense!" I'm going to take you out of the city tonight, smash the stone-throwing thing, and kill Cao Zirong. ”
Still no one responded, and the soldiers all looked at him blankly.
It has been many days since the county was besieged, and Cao Cao's army withdrew, but the good days did not come.
In the past, the Cao army attacked the city, and the soldiers defended it, but they were not so scared.
Now Cao Zirong is stationed outside the city, and the boulders flying in the sky are called a spectacular.
After such a bombardment, anyone was also stunned.
"Cao Zirong doesn't have as many people as us." Seeing the blank faces of the soldiers, Zhang Xiu shouted: "So I didn't take you out of the city because I suspected that he was secretly deployed. Now it seems that there are no reinforcements in the shadows, and the time has come to get out of the city! ”
As soon as Zhang Xiu shouted this, the soldiers' eyes lit up.
There are not many enemy troops, so what are you waiting for?
I held back my stomach of grievances, **** mother!
"The general is mighty!" Someone shouted.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers stationed in the county shouted one after another.
Cao Shuo hadn't fallen asleep at this time, and was talking to Wang Yan in the tent.
A few days have passed, Wang Yan's injuries have healed a little, although she can't fight with a sword yet, there should be no problem walking softly.
Every time Cao Shuo chatted with her, her flirtatious cheeks would always turn crimson.
Wang Yan was lowering her head and didn't know how to respond to Cao Shuo, when a voice came from outside the tent: "Son-in-law, Zhang Xiu is going out of the city." ”
"Zhang Xiu finally couldn't help it!" Cao Shuo grinned and said to Wang Yan: "Sooner tonight, two days later, I will definitely break through the county." ”
"Did it make a roar during the day and scare Zhang Xiu?" Wang Yan asked.
pinched her cheek, Cao Shuo smiled: "I didn't expect you to be so smart, even I can see this." ”
"I'm not stupid, okay?" Wang Yan rolled his eyes.
"It's good not to be stupid!" Cao Shuo said: "I'm still worried that if you give birth to me in the future, you will be as stupid as you, then it will be troublesome!" ”
Wang Yan wrinkled her nose at him: "Who is going to give you a baby......
"As a woman, don't try to struggle with a fate that you can't escape." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "When you recover from your injury, I will take care of you, and it is only a matter of time before you have a child." ”
"I didn't say yes." Wang Yan's cheeks turned even redder.
"I'm sorry for you!" Cao Shuo smiled sheepishly: "Zhang Xiu is out of the city, I will go to fight first, you wait here, you are not allowed to run around." ”
Leaving the tent, he also instructed the two guards guarding outside: "Watch the lady, and do not let her go out of the tent for half a step." ”
Wang Yan in the tent heard the two guards answer, and knew that she would not have a chance to go out again.
Cao Shuo gave an order, even if she was his woman, it was absolutely impossible for the guards to let her leave.
There was a shout in the city of Qixian County, and the soldiers of the Cao army had already set up a battle array.
After coming to the array, Cao Shuo asked Sima Yi, who had arrived early, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's not out yet, it should be soon." Sima Yi said: "I have sent someone to contact General Xiahou, and he will lead his troops to make a detour from the flank and outflank the enemy army outside the city of Qixian. ”
"Childe, if you catch the captive this time...... Pang Tong came to the side and asked Cao Shuo.
"Prisoners of decisive battles, of course, cannot be killed." Cao Shuo said: "What angered me was the enemy army who fought with us outside Luchai at the beginning, the defenders of Yuxian County did not move for days, they are so honest, how can I bully honest people?" ”
When Sima Yi and the others heard him say this, they all grinned.
"Wen Chang!" Cao Shuo shouted at the top of his voice.
Wei Yan quickly ran over: "What do you have to say?" ”
"When the enemy army is out of the city, you lead your troops to meet it." Cao Shuo said: "Even if you can't catch Zhang Xiu, don't let him go too calmly!" ”
"Don't worry, Childe!" Wei Yan said: "If I meet Zhang Xiu, I will capture him and hand him over to Gongzi." ”
Cao Shuo nodded.
In the earlier battle in Luchai, Cao Shuo's command suffered a lot of losses.
An army of nearly 5,000 people can still fight now, only more than 4,000.
The soldiers lined up to meet the enemy, and the immortal battalion stood behind Cao Shuo.
A pair of eyes full of strong war intent stared at the city wall of Yuxian County.
Cao Shuo did not make any mobilization.
He sensed the fighting spirit of the soldiers.
At this moment, there is no need for any mobilization at all!
The gate of the city slowly opened, and countless Zhang Xiujun poured out of the city.
"Childe, do you want to take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold and kill him for a while?" Deng Zhan, who was standing next to Cao Shuo, asked.
"No!" Cao Shuo said: "Now that we go forward to fight, it is difficult for General Xiahou's reinforcements to intervene, and it is too easy for the enemy army to withdraw to the city. When they were far away from the city gate, our army stepped forward to entangle them, and General Xiahou could cut off their back road. ”
"It's still a long-term strategy." Deng Zhan praised.
At the head of the city, looking at the Cao Jun array in the distance, Jia Xu frowned.
"Pass the order, and the reserve soldiers and horses are ready to go out of the city to meet the general at any time." Jia Xu instructed the guards on the side.
The guards retreated.
Zhang Xiu, who led the troops out of the city, also felt that something was wrong.
Cao Jun had been prepared for a long time, but he didn't take advantage of him to go out of the city to kill.
With his understanding of Cao Shuo, he shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake.
Reining in the war horse, Zhang Xiu looked at the Cao army in the distance.
"General, what's wrong?" The adjutant general on the side asked.
"Do you find it strange?" Zhang Xiu said: "Cao Zirong's use of troops has always been unexpected, our army went out of the city, he should have taken advantage of the situation to cover up, but the enemy army did not come forward at all......"
"The general also said that Cao Zirong's use of troops was unexpected." The partial general said: "Our army has long been prepared, how can he be willing to come forward to fight?" In my opinion, he doesn't have any back, he just refuses to fall into the general's trap. ”
"I hope it's as you say!" Zhang Xiu said: "The order goes down, and the army is arrayed and advances. ”
"The general has an order, advance in formation!" The general turned his horse and shouted loudly.
Zhang Xiujun, who went out of the city, lined up one after another, and soon formed a solid shield wall.
Zhang Xiujun, who ran out of the city gate behind, filled the advancing large array one after another.
Zhang Xiujun's large array grew in number, and when he advanced, the soldiers also struck their shields with their weapons, making a pre-battle cry.
