Chapter 19 Under the city of Xiao County
The march of Li Dian and Le Jin has long fallen into the eyes of Lu Bu, who is still fighting in the field. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he didn't have many troops this time, if he was surrounded by Li Dian and Le Jin, I was afraid that it would be difficult to even retreat. Therefore, Lu Bu shouted, and a halberd was slashed out, forcing Zhao Yun away, and he immediately returned to his horse, preparing to return to his own formation. Behind him, Zhao Yun saw that Lu Bu was leaving, where he was willing to give up, and immediately chased after him. Cao Cao saw that Lu Bu had returned to his own position, and he made a move to prepare the whole army to attack.
Lu Bu had just returned to the battle, but the soldiers and horses of Li Dian and Le Jin had already made contact with the Lu Bu army commanded by Chen Gong. Cao Cao saw that Lu Bujun had changed from a square formation to a hook formation, which was extremely smooth, without any intention of dragging mud and water, and he couldn't help but nodded. This Xuzhou army can be regarded as an elite. The front of this hook formation is a phalanx, and the wings are bent backwards into a hook shape, which is mainly used to protect the flanks and prevent the enemy from attacking in a roundabout way. Chen Gong used this array to face the enemy at this time, but there was no mistake.
At least when Li Dian and Le Jin's second army arrived, they were really hindered a lot. At this time, Cao Cao's Chinese army had also killed Lu Bu's army. Liu Beijun was even under the leadership of Guan Yu and went straight into Lu Bu's army. Even Cao Cao nodded secretly when he saw this scene, this Liu Bei is really good!
During the fighting, Cao Cao could only hear the sound of killing on the left and right sides, and he couldn't help but be shocked. Who would have thought that Chen Gong had already become Lian and Cao Xing, ambushing left and right, just waiting for the chaos to fight, and they would kill together. Cao Cao hurriedly ordered Dian Wei to lead an army to resist Cao Xing on the left. Xu Chu led an army to resist Cheng Lian on the right. He was still in command of the Chinese army and did not take half a step back. As for Lu Bu, Cao Cao is not worried, now that Zhao Yun has entered the formation, even if Lu Bu returns, Zhao Yun will resist.
Chen Gong saw that Cao Xing and Cheng Lian were all blocked by General Cao, not only did they not enter the Cao army's array, but the two generals were even more in danger. Generals Le Jin and Li Dian led the army to fight back, and the ambushes on the left and right sides suddenly fell into a flanking attack. Seeing this, Chen Gong also sighed, and then ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.
A chaotic battle has come to an end. Cao Cao also immediately ordered the army to retreat five miles, set up camp, and count the casualties in preparation for another battle in the coming day.
Cao Cao and Lu Bu are now temporarily silent, but Zhang Fei and Cao Chun on the other side have just arrived in Xiao County. In Xiaopei City that day, Guo Jia offered a plan to take Xiao County directly, although Liu Bei said that Guo Jia was whimsical at the beginning, but then he was shocked by Guo Jia's plan.
Now Zhang Fei and Cao Chun are leading 20,000 troops to attack Xiao County according to Guo Jia's plan. After marching for three days in a row, it was not until the afternoon of the third day that they arrived at the city of Xiao County, and ordered people to set up camp, and Zhang Fei and Cao Chun went to the city to fight.
This news scared Song Xian and Wei Xu in the city. After all, Xiao County is the last barrier in the east of Xuzhou, if Xiao County is lost, Xuzhou will be difficult to defend. Now that Lu Bu's family is in Xuzhou City, Wei Xu knows in his heart that once Xiao County is lost, Lu Bu will inevitably be furious. If he loses Xuzhou because of this, Lu Bu is only afraid that he will go crazy. Therefore, Wei Xu immediately wrote to Hou Cheng and Chen Deng in Xuzhou, asking them to make preparations as soon as possible, whether it was to inform the lord, strengthen the city defense, or send troops to support, they must seize the time.
Now Zhang Fei is fighting under the city, and Song Xian is standing at the head of the city to watch. But this look, I feel a lot more settled. Although Zhang Fei is brave, there is still a Cao Chun, and it is still unknown whether the two can work together. What's more, Zhang Fei only has 20,000 soldiers and horses this time, and he also has 20,000 soldiers and horses in Xiao County, even if he really fights, he is not afraid.
I only heard Zhang Fei shouting under the city: "Yanren Zhang Yide is here, Song Xian Xiao'er is not ready to open the city and surrender?" ”
Song Xian stood on top of the city, and saw Zhang Feiyao under the city, but he was not angry. His accusation is to guard Xiao County, and he himself knows that his martial arts are not much different from Hou Cheng. Hou Cheng is not the enemy of the triad under Zhang Fei, if he rushes into battle, how can he win? Therefore, Song Xian, who was standing at the head of the city, pointed his finger at Zhang Fei and replied loudly: "Ring-eyed thief, dare to come to my Xiao County?" Aren't you impatient? ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, he was even more furious and said: "Song Xian, if you have a kind, you will come down to the city and fight with my old Zhang for three hundred rounds, what kind of hero is it to shrink in the city!" ”
Song Xian also laughed when he heard this: "Haha, you Zhang Fei is a lieutenant, and you are also worthy of fighting with General Ben?" If you kill the city, don't be like a dog, just bark under the city! ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately glared angrily, and shouted: "I don't dare to come up if you say it, see that I will take your dog's life today!" ”
As soon as Zhang Fei's words fell, Cao Chun hurriedly beat his horse out in the formation, and pulled the angry Zhang Fei and whispered: "General Zhang, now that our army has just arrived, it is exhausted, and it is not suitable to attack the city!" I'll wait or ...... for now."
"What do you say! In this battle, you are the main general, and I am the main general! Listen to orders! Zhang Fei shouted loudly. The sound was so loud that it shook Cao Chun's ears in front of him.
However, Cao Chun's face was also pale when he heard this, and he said: "General Zhang, it is not appropriate to attack the city at this time, don't be rash!" What if you are the main general, don't forget, 20,000 horses are all under my command Cao Chun! ”
"You!" Zhang Fei raised his arm, then thought of something, but put it down again, and then shouted at the city: "Song Xian Xiao'er, I will disturb your dog's life for the time being, and see if I come to attack the city tomorrow!" ”
Although Song Xian at the head of the city didn't hear what Zhang Fei and Cao Chun were saying, he knew one thing very well, Cao Chun and Zhang Fei were really not united enough. Although Zhang Fei was the main general, it seemed that he could not order Cao Chun. Also, Cao Chun is also a member of the Cao Cao clan, and his status in Cao Ying's is so high, how can he be convinced by Zhang Fei, a little-known guy? I don't know what happened to Cao Cao, he actually sent Zhang Fei as the main general, it seems that this Xiao County can be protected.
Song Xian saw Zhang Fei retreating, so he also retreated from the city tower and told Wei Xu everything outside the city, and the two of them were temporarily relaxed. On the other hand, Zhang Fei and Cao Chun, who had just returned to the camp, although they were both unwilling to deal with each other along the way, but as soon as they entered the big tent and drank everyone back, the two of them laughed together.
"General Cao, how was my acting just now?"
"Good! I almost even believed it, how could Song Xian not believe it? Hehe, Guo Saijiu's clever plan made Song Xian and Wei Xu think that you and I were not compatible, and they would inevitably relax their vigilance. But you and I still need to continue to do this, tomorrow General Zhang will attack the city for a while, and then carry out the plan of Guo sacrificial wine! ”
"Well, haha, when the time comes, when Xiao County is broken, I think Lu Bu's three-surnamed slave can still jump for a few days!"
The difficulty of attacking a Xiao County garrisoned by 20,000 troops can be imagined. Song Xian and Wei continued to defend for three days, and he had already learned the attack of Zhang Fei and Cao Chun, and it was nothing more than that. The most important thing is that he found that the contradiction between Cao Chun and Zhang Fei was getting deeper and deeper. The day before yesterday, Zhang Fei actually drank alcohol to attack, not only scolded himself, but even Cao Chun was not spared.
Yesterday was even more interesting, Cao Chun never appeared in front of the two armies again, but Zhang Fei became even more arrogant, and actually directly set up a banquet under the city, drinking wine while scolding his mother, or half a day, he would get drunk, and after being drunk, he would be even more scolding. For five days in a row, every day, Song Xian was afraid that once he left the city and fell into Zhang Fei's ambush, he was naturally cautious. However, Wei Xu on the side was already angry, and Zhang Fei was finally helped back to the camp by two pawns, and Wei Xu said on the side: "This ring-eyed thief is really too deceitful. It's a pity that it's a drunkard, Lao Song, why don't you and I rob the camp tonight and kill for a while? Forgive this drunkard who can't resist it. ”
"Our duty is to guard Xiao Pass, and attack rashly, only afraid of ......"
"What are you afraid of? Look at it, Cao Chun came to persuade this drunk a few days ago, but Cao Chun didn't appear in the past two days, what does it mean? You and I have known since the first day that these two people are not in harmony, and this drunk is already greedy for cups, don't you know? Now that he can't take the city, he is depressed, so he drinks and has fun every day, and what is there to be afraid of. I want to attack the camp tonight, and if you don't want to, stay in the city. When the time comes, if you lose, it's mine, how about winning with your old Song's credit? ”
"This ......" Song Xian was so beaten by Wei Xu, and thought about it carefully in his heart, but he also felt that Wei Xu was reasonable, attacking the camp and attacking the camp, what is it? It would be better if Zhang Fei could be repelled here! Then he spoke: "Old Wei, you can see what you say." Since you have decided to attack the camp, I, Song Xian, am especially the one who is afraid of things? If you have sinned, you and I will go to the lord together to ask for sin. ”
Wei Xu listened to Song Xian's heroism, and his heart was also overjoyed, the two of them had known each other since they were in Wuyuan, and their relationship was naturally not ordinary. The two finally agreed that Song Xian would stay in the city for the time being in case of an emergency. Wei Xu took 5,000 men and horses to attack the camp. Especially before setting off at night, Wei Xu climbed the city wall to watch, only to see that the lights in Cao's army were bright, and even he could see that in front of the big tent, a big black man was shirtless, drinking wine, while watching the sergeant sumo, his heart was even more settled. immediately informed Song Xian that he was ready to attack.
The road was almost smooth, and Wei Xu directly touched the vicinity of the camp, but there was still no Cao Jun to find out. Immediately shouted loudly, ordered an attack, and 5,000 soldiers and horses immediately entered the Cao army camp. There was even more panic in Cao Ying. Wei Xu saw this and set fire all the way, Wei Xu even went straight to the location of the Chinese army, only to see that the lights were bright at any time, and a person was lying on the case, looking at the outfit, who was not Zhang Fei?
Wei Xu was secretly happy in his heart, this skill was seen with his eyes, Pegasus took Zhang Fei with a spear, and stabbed it with a shot, Fang felt that something was wrong. picked up the gun, only to find out that this Zhang Fei was actually a straw man! Wei Xu was horrified for a while, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat. At this time, I only heard a loud shout not far away, like thunder: "Yanren Zhang Yide is here, and the thief will take his life!" ”
