The shouting and killing outside the city of Tanxian shook the sky, and the people in the city were frightened when they heard Cao Bing's shout.

Hearing that Cao Cao was coming to attack the city again, Liu Bei hurriedly rushed from Taofu to the north gate. When Liu Bei arrived at the city wall, he looked at the city and saw that there were military horses pouring out of the city, and Cao Jun didn't know when it had doubled.

And looking at the sky from afar, the camp of the second son, Tao Ying, was still smoking in the gray and dreary weather. Liu Bei sighed, needless to say, the second son's camp was about to burn to ashes.

Outside the city, there was still a group of soldiers and horses fighting each other, and a large banner of the Xiahou clan was waving in the wind, and the banner of Yu Ban had already been shot off. Yu Ban could only lead the elite soldiers to cover up and kill everywhere, trying to escape.

After Cao Ren and Le Jin joined forces to defeat Tao Ying, they looked at the remnants of the second prince and went back in the direction of Xiapi, and the two led the troops to surround Yu Ban, Yu Ban outside the city was a little sad and angry, he knew that he could not fly with wings!

Seeing this situation, Liu Bei shouted eagerly: "Second brother, third brother, why don't you go out of the city to save the second son?" ”

Zhang Fei carried a pool of wine in his hand and said, "Big brother, don't you see that the killing outside the city is not happy enough?" It really relieved the hatred in my heart! ”

Liu Bei sighed, turned around and rode a horse to let the soldiers open the city gate, and led the soldiers to kill Cao Ren's army. Seeing that Liu Bei had gone out of the city in person, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were afraid that Liu Bei would lose, so they hurriedly led their troops out of the city to meet the battle.

Yu Ban's army was surrounded on three sides and struggled, and the 1,000-strong army was divided into several and wiped out one after another. With the help of Liu Bei's military horses in Tanxian County, Yu Ban led more than 200 people to break through the encirclement of Lejin and kill Wuyuan.

Le Jin saw that Yu Ban was gone, and hurriedly led the troops to chase, and Cao Ren beat the drum over there and ordered to stop the pursuit of Yu Ban, and the whole army attacked Tan County!

So Xiahou Yuan returned to the army to attack Liu Bei's flank military horses, Zhang Fei led the troops to meet Xiahou Yuan, and Le Jin also caught up with Guan Yu's military horses, and Cao Ren personally fought Liu Bei in front of him, and the two armies fought again outside Tan County.

After leaving Tao Ying, Liu Bei felt that his lips were cold and his teeth were cold, and he became more and more powerless. The soldiers were already in a slump, but after the defeat of the second son, the last trace of defense in the hearts of the Xuzhou soldiers was also broken. Xiahou Yuan's army first defeated Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei hurriedly led his troops to meet Guan Yu, Xiahou Yuan led his troops to cut off Liu Bei's military horses from the center, Liu Bei saw this and hurriedly retreated to the left to meet Guan Yu, and the three of them lost nearly 1,000 soldiers and horses before retreating to Tan County in embarrassment.

Cao Cao's soldiers and horses seem to have reached unprecedented strength, and it seems that the capture of Xuzhou in one go will soon be achieved. The myth that Tao Ying did not worship was also broken by Cao Ren for the first time, and the morale of the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou became even more sluggish. Cao Ren defeated Liu Bei several times, and Xuzhou's fear of Cao Bing deepened.

After a day of fighting, Cao Bing was tired, but with the arrival of night, Cao Bing was ready to take advantage of the night to make a night attack. Liu Bei stood on the city in disgrace at the north gate of Tanxian County and commanded the soldiers to beat the Cao soldiers who climbed to the city one by one, but Cao soldiers climbed more and more of the mountain wall, and seeing that the north gate seemed to be unable to be guarded, Liu Bei hurriedly asked Cao Bao for help at the west gate.

Cao Bao led his troops and horses to help, which stopped Cao's fierce offensive. Cao Bing retreated briefly, and it was already the fourth watch. Liu Bei leaned on the city wall a little tiredly, and Zhang Fei next to him was also full of tiredness.

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei and said with some complaints: "Third brother, third brother, why are you so reckless today?" The second son is to have an enmity with us again, how can we be at our own expense? ”

Zhang Fei also lowered his head, losing his original unruliness, Guan Yu persuaded beside him: "Big brother, don't be angry, it's come to this, let's think about how to deal with Cao Cao's attack!" ”

Liu Bei also sighed, and the three brothers sat on the steps thinking about how to go to Tao Qian to report in a while.

When Lejin defeated Tao Ying, Tao Ying went all the way down under the escort of more than a dozen yuan generals. didn't go to Wuyuan, because he was afraid that if Cao Cao arranged an ambush on the way to Wuyuan, wouldn't he kill himself?!

And Yu Ban thought that Tao Ying was dead in battle, so he hurriedly withdrew his troops to Wuyuan, he wanted to go to Wuyuan to move the rescue soldiers and then come back to take revenge! Yu Ban walked to Wuyuan for less than two days, 200 people ran out of food and grass, and the surrounding villages were plundered by Cao Cao, the soldiers had no food to eat, and they were afraid of chasing the soldiers, so Yu Ban had to sacrifice his war horses to survive.

Along the way, there were dead corpses everywhere, those were the people killed by Cao Cao, their corpses were already stinky on the side of the road, many crows carved them wantonly, and there were groups of wild wolves around, which made Yu Ban feel that danger was everywhere.

But fortunately, when Yu Ban arrived at Wuyuan, Wuyuan Zhao Yun had already led 30,000 troops to be stationed at the border of Wuyuan County. Just after crossing the border, before Yu Ban could catch his breath, the scout behind him shouted: "General, it's not good, the Lejin army is chasing us to Wuyuan again, let's go quickly!" ”

It turned out that Le Jin and others attacked outside the city for two days and still couldn't capture Tan County, at this time the army was short of food, Cao Ren heard that Peng Chengguo had gathered millions of people, and Tao Ying plundered countless grain and grass from Xiapi State, so he asked Le Ban to lead the troops to attack Wuyuan to seize some grain and grass, and then captured Tan County and waved his troops to attack Peng Chengguo.

Yu Ban turned over his horse and walked to Wuyuan with a depressed face, and as soon as he arrived at Yishui, he suddenly saw a large camp stationed on the opposite bank that could not be seen at a glance, Yu Ban said with some concern: "Could it be that you are naïve and don't help the lord?" ”

On the other side, there were nearly 100 soldiers and horses on the opposite bank, and someone was busy informing his chief general, and after a while, a dozen generals came out of a large camp and came to the river with one person in a circle.

Across the Yishui, a person came out from the opposite side and shouted to the other side: "Whose military horse are you?" Why did it appear on the border of my Pengcheng! ”

Across the river, seeing Peng Cheng's military horses on the opposite side, the soldiers jumped up in ecstasy, and Yu Ban suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted: "It's really immortal, my lord!" ”

A man was so excited that he was crying like this, and the general surrounded by the soldiers on the opposite side was none other than Tao Ying's second brother Xu Sheng!

Xu Sheng shouted at the opposite side: "Who is the soldier and horse on the other side?" Who wept there? ”

Yu Ban got up and hurriedly shouted through Yishui: "It's me, Yu Ban Yu Wenze!" ”

Hearing that it was Yu Ban, the marshal who was hand-picked by Tao Ying to inherit Zang Ba, Xu Sheng was shocked. He is a marshal mixed up like this, not to mention his eldest brother Tao Ying!

"Marshal Yu, where is my eldest brother?"

Xu Sheng shouted again at the top of his voice, Yu Ban wanted to reply to him, but suddenly a cavalry team of nearly 100 people appeared from the north. Seeing those cavalry from afar, the banner they were holding was not the flag of Xuzhou, and someone hurriedly beat the drum to remind Xu Sheng to see that the chasing soldiers were busy asking the soldiers to quickly cross a small boat across the east bank of the river.

The boat crossed the Yishui, Yu Ban hurriedly abandoned the horse and crossed the Yishui boat to the Xu Sheng camp, when hundreds of cavalry rushed to the Yishui River, Tao Ying let the army shoot on the boat, and after a dozen horses fell on the shore, the other Cao soldiers hurriedly retreated.

Xu Sheng asked about Yu Ban at this time, Yu Ban said the matter aside, Tao Ying's life and death were uncertain, and Xu Sheng was very impatient. Tao Ying is the backbone of the whole Pengchengguo, if Tao Ying is gone, Zang Ba, the boss of the Taishan Gang, will definitely lead the troops north, and then Pengchengguo will really not know who will be the boss.

In order to find Tao Ying quickly, Xu Sheng hurriedly let the military horses quickly cross the Yishui, and then set up camp on the other side of the Yishui. After all the soldiers had crossed Yishui, Xu Sheng divided his troops into 5,000 troops and let Yu Ban take the lead to go to Tan County to inquire about information. So Yu Ban led a vanguard of 5,000 people towards Tan County.

When Yu Ban rushed to Tan County again, the north gate of Tan County had been beaten to the ground, and Cao Ren and Liu Bei, Cao Bao and others started a street battle, and the two sides kept fighting for territory in the north gate.

Seeing that he would be able to break through Tan County soon, and then capture Tao Qian alive, this great merit could at least be exchanged for a lifetime of glory and wealth from Cao Cao, so Cao Bing became more and more brave the more he fought.
