Chapter 428: The Plain Urn City is broken, and Cheng Lian meets Zhang Fei
Outside the plain city, more than 4,000 Youzhou soldiers carrying siege ladders, as if they were not destined for a promise that they might never get from, rushed towards the plain city where the defense power could basically be "ignored" as the main general of the army said.
But looking at the reaction of the plains, it is obviously unsatisfactory. In addition to the archers on the city wall, the counterattack was still sharp, and a volley shot a part of the Youzhou soldiers who rushed to the front to stop the formation, blocking the moat that could only be regarded as an ornament. However, on the wall of Pingyuan City, which is no more than two arms, there are actually not many people standing, and there are only a few hundred people on the wall of the Urn City, which is no longer than 20 zhang long in the face of the incoming soldiers. It's still quite crowded, and people are worried about whether the rammed earth wall will collapse due to manpower. It is no wonder that Guan Zhang and the others are also considered to be battle-hardened generations, but they dare to use only 4,000 soldiers to attack the city.
"Second brother, don't say it, the soldiers led by Lu Bu, the three surnamed slaves, are indeed very good, in a hurry, they can still stop us from attacking the city, so that our casualties are not small, it is really difficult for these people, look at this posture, those people should also come out, right?" Seeing that although the Youzhou soldiers in this formation were temporarily shot in a position, they were still unable to stop the pace of moving forward, Zhang Fei was quite bored pulling the horsewhip, with a pair of ringed eyes, just staring at the east and west sides of the Plains City, where there was no movement until now.
"No hurry! Lu Bujun is known as the elite of the world, and Zhang Wenyuan, the defender of this city, is also a hero. It is not to be underestimated, even in the event of a sudden attack, it can react like this. Naturally, it will not be like the so-called coalition forces of Liu He, Xian Yufu and others before, as soon as they were rushed by our army, they showed their cowardice first, messed up their positions, and were taken advantage of by our army. Guan Yu was riding on a yellow huss warhorse, squinting his eyes and brushing his beard, on top of his face as red as a jujube. Since the war, there has been no change in expression, and when I heard Zhang Fei ask, I opened the Danfeng eyes raised at the corner of my eyes slightly. said lightly: "Just looking at the 4,000 soldiers of our army, who were blocked by the hundreds of auxiliaries on the city wall, it can be seen that this Zhang Wenyuan has a good way of training." LΓΌ Bu used this to garrison the plains. Indeed, the law has been obtained. β
"Second brother, do you know this plain guard?" Zhang Fei listened to what Guan Yu said as if he admired Zhang Liao very much, and asked in surprise with a somewhat incredible look on his face. Guan Yu's temperament is quite arrogant, except for his brother, he has always been not very interested in other people, and after knowing each other for so many years, to be honest, Zhang Fei has never heard such words praising an enemy general from Guan Yu's mouth now.
"They can't hold it anymore. Presumably, the guards in the city are also going out of the city. Third brother. Go get ready! In response to Zhang Fei's question, Guan Yu just nodded. Without answering directly, he looked at the soldiers of his army who were besieging the city, and said suddenly.
"Finally came out, I thought I had been cowering in the Plains City, and he had been waiting for his third grandfather Zhang for too long! Second brother, I went first. Zhang Fei was distracted by Guan Yu's words, and did not continue to ask, seeing that the frequency of the plain soldiers who were shooting arrows on the city wall had decreased a lot, and his own soldiers had finally approached the plain city after paying a considerable price, Zhang Fei licked his lips excitedly, grabbed the Zhangba snake spear in his hand, and Guan Yu informed him, and then led the army to gallop towards the east of the city.
"Wen Yuan, as early as when I was in the township, I heard your great name of righteousness, Guan Mou has been thinking about it for a long time, but he didn't expect to meet in this situation! If you are lucky enough to meet, you will use this green dragon knife to meet your old friend who has not yet met! Guan Yu closed his eyes and muttered to himself, and Danfeng's eyes that suddenly opened suddenly flashed, and he also grabbed the horse's head, and led the five hundred cavalry of his headquarters to the west of the city.
"General Cheng, can you remember Mr. Wenhe's orders? This is a matter related to the safety of Plains City, and it is careless. In Pingyuan City, Zhang Liao, who didn't know that he was "remembered" by Guan Yu, was preparing the cavalry, and saw Cheng Lian coming over from a distance, as if he didn't care much at all, Zhang Liao raised his eyebrows slightly, and reminded.
"Ha, remember, remember! Wen Yuante is also careful! We have more than 10,000 cavalry in hand! Although Cheng Lian is older than Zhang Liao in terms of qualifications, he also understands Zhang Liao's ability, and is also very polite to Zhang Liao, who is valued by Lu Bu, and seeing Zhang Liao's kind reminder, he is not angry, he snorted, and said nonchalantly: "But how many of those thieves are coming?" In the end, there were only four or five thousand men, and four thousand were infantry attacking the city. That's all that's left for us and the thousands of men we want to deal with. If we go out of the city this time, maybe if you don't do it, you can swallow the thousand cavalry with the five thousand brothers of the flying cavalry battalion, and what are you afraid of him doing? Could it be that they can still conjure up troops out of thin air? β
"It's better to be careful! Mr. Wenhe said, this time I don't want to kill many enemies, but I want to drag the other party, these people may have some connection with the person who killed General Song, and they are the people the lord wants to find. The right and left must be decided by the owner. Zhang Liao didn't have any prejudices against Cheng Lianben, but he just had some objections when he saw that Cheng Lian didn't take the war seriously when he saw that he was in front of the enemy. And Cheng Lian's words are not unreasonable, that is, Zhang Liao is actually not very nervous about the incoming soldiers, the siege of 4,000 people has been resisted by hundreds of archers for almost half an hour, which shows that the opponent's combat power is actually just like that. As Cheng Lian said, there are still more than 10,000 cavalry on his side, and there is an arrangement by Jia Xu, the division of the right army, so there is really nothing wrong with it. As the first two high-level generals of Lu Bu's army who were released by Lu Bu to lead troops to defend one side alone, the two of them are actually passable in terms of face. Moreover, Zhang Liao also knew that Cheng Lian was very trusted by Lu Bu, and he had a very good personal relationship with Qin Xu, so he didn't want to talk too stiffly because of such a big matter, so he nodded and said.
"That's nature! That's nature! Cheng Lian smiled and nodded casually, seeing that Zhang Liao was preparing to send troops in the army, he also nodded hurriedly, and was already waiting in the direction of the east gate. Just wait for the order to attack the soldiers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion.
"Old man, why haven't Qin Envoy Jun and General Lu returned to the army yet? It's only fifty miles, why hasn't there been news for so long? Everyone is out of the city! Mr. Can the plain be held this time? Just after Zhang Liao Chenglian and the two had a short conversation, when it was time to open the city gate and send troops to deal with the danger of the plains, in the small courtyard in the plain city where Qin Xu and Lu Lingqi should live, Zhen Jiang, who was concerned about the chaos, was standing in front of Jia Xu, asking anxiously with an anxious face. There is no such thing as the strong woman who controlled everything before.
It's no wonder that Zhen Jiang is in such a hurry. It was only three or four hours after he learned that Pingyuan had left the city with Lu Bu's army, and suddenly encountered someone attacking the city. And according to the report of Lu Bujun's horse exploration, the soldiers turned out to be Liu Bei's soldiers and horses in Youzhou, and they won the banner. It was to recapture the plains, and seeing that the people of the plains, who had already received a lot of favor from Liu Bei, did not appear in time in Lu Bu, they caused a lot of riots just because of this news. Zhen Jiang is no matter how stupid he is. also thought that he had become an accomplice for no reason. Although this "accomplice" is really helpless, it does not hinder Zhen Jiang's apprehension under the "something" in his heart. Just thinking that it would be a great sin not to take the plains seriously because of this, that would be a great sin.
It's just that now Qin Xu and Lu Lingqi, some characters who are familiar with each other, have now followed Lu Bubing out of Yanyi Mountain, and the only one who has traveled all the way, Zhen Jiang can be regarded as a good acquaintance. It doesn't seem to help much, even if there is something to say. It is estimated that he also played the piano to the cow. Counting around, there is only Qin someone's "general" Jia Wenhe, who seems to be a sincere person, and he seems to be quite valued by Qin Xu on weekdays, and Zhen Jiang is in a hurry to go to the doctor, so he can only pin his hopes on this Confucian who seems to be quite reliable, hoping that this old gentleman can have a way to talk to Zhang Liao, and be sure to send troops to chase Lu Bu back.
If Jia Xu knew that the girl in front of him who was in a hurry to "beg" for help, in his heart, he actually only regarded him, a poisonous man who almost single-handedly caused the establishment of the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty in history, as a close minister of Qin Xu's mansion, or even as an errand messenger, I don't know how he would feel.
"Hmm! The plain city is small and weak, not durable to attack, can not be defended for a long time, and the people's will is not attached, if as long as it is defended, it is General Lu is there, and it is also difficult! If you don't look at the eyes that seem to be able to see through the world, just relying on Jia Xu's honest and honest appearance of a scholar, it is indeed very deceptive, no wonder even Zhen Jiang, the second lady of the Zhen family, who has a considerable weight in the Hebei business world, is also out of her eyes in a hurry. After listening to Zhen Jiang's question, Jia Xu shook his head and said with a sour temperament.
"How about that? Just now I saw that the guards in the city, General Zhang Liao and General Cheng Lian, had already left the city, didn't they plan to attack the enemy at the north gate on two sides? I don't know whose bad idea it was! Since the incoming soldiers were able to choose only the north gate to attack when there were only four or five thousand people, and did not care about the movements of the east, west, and south gates, it was obvious that if the person leading the troops was not a fool, he was ready to deal with the other three incoming soldiers to attack around the city. This kind of thing that everyone thinks of, why can't those two people think of it? Sir, how is this good? This is a bit overstepping, but Zhen Jiang is not worried that his words will be listened to and there will be something to do. First, Zhen Jiang's current identity is special, which is almost related to the future of cooperation between the Zhen family and Lu Bujun's forces, or as long as Zhen Jiang does not touch the "bottom line" of some people, then Lu Bujun will not unify Hebei one day, and Zhen Jiang, who was born in the Zhen family, will not act too much; In Zhen Jiang's eyes, it can be seen from dragging him to send a letter until now that there is no reply, Jia Xu, an old sour Confucian, is at best just a close minister who writes official documents on behalf of Qin Xu and settles accounts, so in terms of words, there are a lot less scruples, and the stunned and funny look in Jia Xu's eyes from time to time is also regarded as a manifestation of his self-shame in Zhen Jiang's opinion.
"Miss Zhen, what you said is extremely true! My lord Qin envoy often said, there is a very thing, it must be a demon, this time the soldiers actually used 4,000 people to dare to attack the city, although there are factors that are familiar with the actual situation of the plain, but it can also be seen that it must have made full preparations, menacing! But there's no need to rush! The two generals, Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian, are also battle-hardened people, even if they are calculated by the other party's small actions, they have nothing to do with the overall situation. Since Zhen Jiang had misunderstood, Jia Xu didn't bother to explain it anymore. stroked the goatee that was criticized by Qin Xu, revealing some inadvertent news.
"I hope so!" listened to Jia Xu's words, although he didn't believe Jia Xu's judgment very much. But Zhen Jiang's mood was really much better, and he nodded and said.
As if to confirm what Jia Xu said. Just when Zhang Liao and Chenglian each led their headquarters and horses, opened the city gates on both sides and went out of the city to join forces to attack the incoming enemy at the north gate, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also ready for each other. Guan Yu rode a yellow horse that was not very "easy to use", but it was barely able to withstand his own strength, and set up an ambush point early on a low hill near the corner of the west gate and the north gate of Pingyuan City, where the terrain was slightly higher. It is very beneficial for cavalry charges, don't look at the fact that you only have 500 people, but as long as you use them well. Just wait for a soldier to suddenly come out, the horse borrows the slope, the person borrows the horsepower, plus Guan Yu's natural divine power. Enough to be able to react when it is too late to react. Raid and slay him down from his horse. As long as the main general dies, even if it is seriously injured, then even if the elite soldiers are not immediately dispersed, their combat power will inevitably be greatly reduced, so that the difference in combat power between the two sides can be infinitely narrowed, and the gap between the two sides due to the number of soldiers will be shortened to a minimum.
is different from Guan Yu, who is good at using military strategies. Zhang Fei, who chose to block the soldiers from the east gate, had a simple idea. First, he took advantage of the arrival of the soldiers. Zhang Fei first ordered people to find a camp outside the dense forest, and then ordered 500 soldiers under his command to break some branches in the depths of the forest and tie them to the horse's tail, just to raise dust and drag back and forth, thinking that it was a suspicious soldier, while Zhang Fei himself only led a hundred people to line up on the road between the north gate and the east gate, waiting to measure the bravery of the general of the Lu Bu army, who had been blown by the people. Of course, the best thing is to meet Zhang Wenyuan, the general of the Lu Bujun who was very admired by his second brother Guan Yu before, so that Zhang Sanye can have a long insight and see what kind of hero he is, so that his second brother, whose eyes have always grown in front of the scholars, will be like this.
"Woo......!!!" With a dull sound of bull's horn at the north gate of the plain, its "mission" has been completed, and the archers above have all retreated to the city wall of the Pingyuan Gate Urn City, which is five zhang away, but it collapsed because there were too many Youzhou soldiers who pounced. As a result, the casualties of the soldiers in Youzhou caused by this time were even more than before the desperate siege of the city. This really opened the eyes of the soldiers of Lu Bujun who "watched" such a grand occasion, and after fighting for so many years, it was the first time that he had seen such a miracle of crushing the city wall and putting his life on the line. But after a while, these plain auxiliaries still remembered the orders of their own commander Zhang Liao, and after watching it fresh for a while, they hurriedly sent a signal to Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian with the sound of a horn.
Soon after the horn sounded, I saw that from the east and west gates of the plain, two cavalry with more than 2,000 people each, one black and one red, poured out. But Cheng Lian is not so particular. When I fought against the Xiongnu with Lu Bu, what scene had I not seen? Isn't it just a combined attack plus a sneak attack, for Cheng Lian, it's just a trick he once played, and he is familiar with the road. The personality of the commander of the first army often affects the soldiers under his command, such as Cheng Lian, this girl always pretends to be honest during the day, but everyone in Lu Bujun knows that Cheng Lian has always been not a good bird, and if he is not careful, it is extremely easy to be pitted by this guy, if it is not for Qin Xu, who seems to be Cheng Lian's natural nemesis, I can't say what kind of "end" Cheng Lian will have in the end! The subordinates brought out by the commander of such a temperament, although it is needless to say that they are loyal, but their character is not much better, which is something that everyone knows in the current front-line battle sequence of Lu Bu's army. What's more, in Cheng Lian's words, "I don't know who is making our old rumors" and wants to go crazy all day long, people who are a little more normal are afraid that they will have to go around! Fortunately, there is also an "immune body" for this person, and Qin Xu, who has choked Cheng Lian three times and twice, can be regarded as able to suppress one or two, but unfortunately if Qin Xu and Cheng Lian have a good personal relationship, they can only hope that after a long time, Cheng Lian, who has been indulged for a long time, will not raise his consciousness a little more after being beaten on the head!
"Haha, your third grandfather Zhang has been waiting for you for a long time!" Cheng Lian's horse is fast, and some of them don't agree with Zhang Liao's cautious approach, although Zhang Liao is with cavalry, but still around the city step by step, Cheng Lian's army is a block, not even a horse, it is already sticking to the official road outside the plain city, and the army marched towards the north gate. I didn't expect that I thought that such a rapid march outside the plain city would definitely be able to avoid the very likely thing that Jia Xu, the right army division, said was very likely to be intercepted, but I didn't expect that just after walking to a place where the dust that was obviously swept up by people covered the woods, a roaring array comparable to thunder appeared in the open space in front of the forest from the woods with the escort of more than 100 people.
"Who are you?" Cheng Lian looked at it very much, but the knotted muscles on his body and the strange weapons still made Cheng Lian's heart tense for no reason.
"I'm Yanren Zhang Yide! Do you and other thieves who help and abuse a certain person? ββ¦β¦ (To be continued......)
