Chapter Twenty-Five: The Conspiracy in the Scheme

Just as the soldiers were cheering, several generals around Tao Ying hurriedly made the defeated soldiers stand in a pile, regardless of the previous establishment, with a team of 100 people, they quickly formed a team of 12. It happened that Tao Ying had nearly five generals around him, and one of them led two or three teams and began to accept Tao Ying's arrangement.

It turned out that when the news of Tao Ying's former army was defeated, Tao Ying wanted to take the opportunity to escape quickly, but another team appeared behind him in the dark night, and Tao Ying knew that he must have been tricked.

In a hurry, a general hurriedly asked Tao Ying to take off his clothes, and then put on the clothes of a general, so several generals also hurriedly changed into the clothes of a small soldier, and several people pretended to be a small soldier to support Tao Ying and kill him from Cao's army.

The family general wore Tao Ying's clothes to command the battle, and the family general attracted Yu Ban's main force, and Tao Ying also took the opportunity to escape. It's just that when Tao Ying ran to the side of the mountain in the suburbs, he suddenly thought that he ran like this, how will he mix in Xuzhou in the future?

It's better to make a desperate bet than to live in shame like this!

Once on the battlefield in Jingzhou, he knew that someone had used the strategy of fake death to trick the enemy into the city and defeat the enemy general, so Tao Ying took the risk and returned to Pengcheng.

Tao Ying regrouped his men and began to dig pits in the city, while many houses in the city were filled with weeds. These are the common people who are ready to feed their livestock for the winter.

Yu Ban led the men and horses to storm the south gate of Pengcheng, and for a time nearly 10,000 horses began to cross the moat, Xu Sheng ordered to release arrows, and under a rain of arrows, many people fell in the cold moat.

But soon someone crossed the moat and put down the drawbridge, and there were not many arrows in the city, so Xu Sheng hurriedly asked people to stop firing arrows.

Yu Ban's offensive was not so fierce before, and I don't know what it was for this time, but the whole army was dispatched. Perhaps when Tao Ying stationed his soldiers and horses dozens of miles away from Pengcheng, Cao Cao had already set up this strategy to contain Pengcheng and lead Tao Ying into the urn, so he had never attacked Pengcheng so fiercely.

Cao soldiers swarmed from the drawbridge to shoot arrows into the city, ladders began to build up the city walls, and siege vehicles kept hitting the city gates. Some of the thin gates seemed to not withstand a single blow, but they seemed to be like a dying old man who refused to fall like this.

A small soldier came to report that the city wall might not be able to support it for long, Tao Ying looked at the traps dug on the ground, the traps were not big enough, and many traps had not yet been put on bamboo thorns.

So Tao Ying had to transfer another 500 men to defend the city immediately, and at the same time ordered all the cavalry to start eating, and at the same time sharpen their weapons and feed the horses.

Five hundred men and horses gathered on the city wall, which quickly relieved the pressure on the south gate. Yu Ban watched the battle from a distance, and the strategists next to him persuaded Yu Ban to besiege the four gates, so that the remnants of the Tao army could be annihilated in one fell swoop.

Yu Ban shook his head, although the young general guarding the city is not a well-known small role, but it seems that he is quite cohesive, he has never encountered such a tricky young general when he fought Tao Qian, so he doesn't want to sacrifice too much, it is better to break through one door, the enemy sees that Pengcheng can't hold it, so he will naturally escape from other gates, and when the time comes, four ambushes will be set up ten miles outside the four gates, and the Tao army can be annihilated without sacrificing many people.

Yu Ban frowned while watching the soldiers attack the city, he brought 20,000 horses and horses, and now he has sent out nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses to set up an ambush.

The siege lasted until ten o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Sheng finally ran out of arrows and began hand-to-hand combat, and at the same time, the broken gate of Pengcheng was also broken by the door car, and the south gate of Pengcheng was like a fish that had been cut through the stomach, and the heart also leaked in front of the enemy.

Seeing that the south gate was broken, Yu Ban drew his sword on his horse, and nearly a hundred cavalrymen behind him raised their weapons and began to shout, as if a killing was about to start again!

"Rush with me!"

In order to boost morale, Yu Ran personally charged, which confirmed the upright character of the ancient generals, but it is undeniable that they are very good at kung fu.

Yu Ban took the lead in killing the south gate, and the soldiers in the city saw that the city gate had been broken and hurriedly fled to the city. Xu Sheng fought and left, and the soldiers in the city began to flee in all directions, and Yu Ban effortlessly rushed into the south gate and slashed five or six fleeing soldiers with a knife.

When they rushed through the south gate, a group of routed soldiers were fleeing with utensils and other things that had been turned over from nowhere, and it seemed that the rout had begun to rob.

The corners of Yu Ban's mouth sneered, the Xuzhou soldiers are always defeated, how can they not be defeated if the soldiers are not strong and plunder? !

But when those soldiers saw Yu Ban's arrival, they all dropped the looted things and began to flee, many of the general-like Xuzhou soldiers even fell to the ground when they fled, and the package on the general's body also fell to the ground, the package was scattered, and the gold and silver utensils ran everywhere.

When Yu Ban saw this, he just wanted to order his soldiers not to loot, but the soldiers and horses behind him had already disobeyed his command and looted everywhere. grabbed a package, and kept grabbing it, and soon the dozens of cavalry who had entered the city dispersed.

Yu Ban wanted to manage but couldn't control it anymore, Cao Cao went east to Xuzhou, saying that it was to avenge the revenge, but whenever he attacked a place, he ordered those who advanced to the city to loot everywhere, and the property belonged to himself!

Although this greatly encouraged the soldiers' determination to attack the city, it greatly undermined the discipline of the troops. At the same time, Cao Cao ordered the slaughter of the city, except for those young and beautiful women who were divided as property, all other women and children, both old and young, were killed!

So this fueled Cao Jun's plundering spirit even more, and there were fewer and fewer people who really wanted to kill the enemy.

Seeing a young general coming down from the city wall, Yu Ban knew that the person was Xu Sheng, the guard general of Pengcheng, so Yu Ban hurriedly reined in his horse and killed Xu Sheng. Xu Sheng had no horses under his feet and ran very slowly, but fortunately, Xu Sheng was surrounded by nearly dozens of soldiers.

More than a dozen soldiers surrounded Xu Sheng and fled into the city, and more than a dozen soldiers blocked Yu Ban's road. Yu Banwang looked behind him, followed by two relatives brought from his hometown. The three of them quickly slaughtered all the way with their horses, and scattered more than a dozen infantrymen. The three fast horses also quickly chased after the city.

Chased to a three-way intersection, Xu Sheng carefully crossed the three-way intersection in three ways, Yu Ban chased people's hearts, and never thought that the intersection was actually dug a pit, the war horse galloped past, a neigh, poof, Yu Ban's war horse fell into a hidden not very good pit.

The other two Yu Ban villagers also confiscated the war horse and fell into the big pit together, and the pit was low and there were upside-down spears, and the sharp spears pierced the stomach of the war horse, and the war horse lay down and was stabbed into a hedgehog.

Yu Ban hurriedly jumped up, but he still hesitated and stepped on a spear, and the soles of his feet were pierced. Two of his fellow villagers were also killed on the spot.

Yu Ban just wanted to say that he had been fooled, but Xu Sheng killed him again, and more than a dozen spears were aimed at Yu Ban.
