Chapter 322 Old friends reunite with swords and guns, and opponents fight each other

In the above book, it was mentioned that Deng Ai could not be defended, which angered the old general Cheng Lian.

Zhuge Qiao originally wanted to prevent Cheng Lian from attacking Yangling Civil Engineering Pass, but seeing that the old general was also tempting, he did not stop it, but instead proposed a rocket attack on Cheng Lian.

After listening to Zhuge Qiao's explanation, Cheng Lian felt that it made sense, so he ordered the soldiers to dip the crossbow arrows in palm oil and light a fire according to Zhuge Qiao's suggestion!

With Cheng Lian's order, fifty rockets rushed towards the civil engineering pass like meteors!

The huge crossbow arrows "Papapa...... were all stuck in the giant tree that was closed, and the fire they carried quickly ignited the wood chips when the giant tree exploded.

The soldiers had already prepared for the close, and the two of them turned around and pulled up a quilt with a huge line of water over the flames, and in the blink of an eye, all fifty ignition points were extinguished.

"They were prepared! Looks like we're going to have to put it all together! Zhuge Qiao originally wanted to attack with fire, but people had already prepared, so this trick naturally couldn't work, so he had to retreat to the second.

He turned around and said to Cheng Lian: "General, it seems that I have to go back to the camp today first, and then discuss countermeasures!" ”

Cheng Lian had no choice but to agree to withdraw from the army.

Let's not talk about how they attacked Tumu Pass, let's talk about how Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, who led a large army to Gaoling City, fought against Sima Yi.

Compared with Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi's head is even more of a headache!

He didn't want to care about Gaoling's life or death, so he directly returned to Chang'an with his soldiers and horses!

But Deng Ai was persuaded by Cao Xiu and led him to Gaoling City.

When he arrived in Gaoling City, he didn't care about the proposal to retreat to Chang'an! Because this Cao Xiu is not comparable to that Cao Zhen, this son is fiery by nature and decisive, and he is even more close to Cao Cao, knowing the strategy of marching and fighting!

Therefore, when he arrived in Gaoling, Sima Yi had no choice but to retire as a deputy general to assist Cao Xiu in defending the city.

Seeing Guan Yu's army arrive in the city, Cao Xiu personally led the troops out of the city to meet Guan Yu.

"General Guan, I haven't seen you for many days, but you are still as strong as ever, which is really the envy of a certain person!" In the past, when he was crusading against Dong Zhuo, Cao Xiu had a relationship with Guan Yu.

Guan Yu stroked his long hair and replied: "Wen Lie, your lord has a rebellious way, and if you don't say good words and persuasion, how can you still help the abuse?" ”

"Brother Tai's words are wrong! If it is said that Xuande's official claim to be emperor is a rebellion, the people of the world may be credible. My lord Meng Degong is only the prime minister of the Han family, and the person he worships is also the son of the emperor of filial piety, how can he do rebellious things? Cao Xiu asked rhetorically.

"Cao Mengde's cholera palace was forced to death to the emperor of filial piety, and everyone in the world saw it! My lord Xuande honored the emperor's posthumous photo and ascended the throne for the ninth fiveth, and it was announced to the world! Guan Yu shouted.

Cao Xiu smiled and said to Guan Yu: "Senior Brother Yun, although you are older than me, at this time, I have to say that there are some things that you can see more clearly than you!" You and I have our own masters, and we are already intolerable! Therefore, this battle is imminent, and it has to be fought! However, what the Lord has done is right and wrong, and how can you and I have a way to influence it? ”

Listening to Cao Xiu's words, Guan Yu suddenly laughed: "Haha......!" I haven't seen him for many years, but Wen Lie is still so straightforward. It's a pity that you and I can't work together, and we can only be friends again in the next life! ”

"Not bad! When fighting, I hope that Brother Yun's subordinates will show mercy. Hugh argues that he is not a brother's opponent, or even three or five are afraid that he will be difficult to defeat his brother! Cao Xiu said.

Guan Yu nodded, and said with great appreciation: "Wen Lie dares to fight with me, he is really a hero!" ”

The two of them put on a stance, and at the same time shouted, and the royal horse rushed over!

Guan Yu swung his knife around his head and slashed at Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu hurriedly put the big gun in his hand sideways, knocked it out, and shouted: "Open"

There was a loud bang of "......", and a majestic impact was transmitted from the barrel of the gun to Cao Xiu's arms.

Cao Xiu felt that his arms were numb all of a sudden!

That's a lot of strength!

Guan Gong, who is in his fifties, has not reduced his arm strength back then!

The second horse staggered, Cao Xiu shook his arm, and said with a smile: "Brother Yun, the courage is better than back then!" ”

"Haha...... Wen Lie, you can withstand the old man's knife! It seems that the old man is going to use more strength! Guan Yu laughed heartily and attacked again with a knife.

Cao Zhen shook the big gun and came up with a big gun.

"Bang, ding, bang......" There was a sound of gold and iron, and the two fought together.

After more than thirty rounds, I heard Guan Yu laugh again: "Haha! Wen Lie, I've grown a lot over the years! ”

Before the sound could be finished, the two suddenly separated.

Cao Zhen's face was red, and he said breathlessly: "Thanks to the mercy of Brother Tai's subordinates, otherwise Hugh would have become a ghost under your sword!" ”

Looking at Guan Yu's calm and relaxed appearance, he lifted the Qinglong knife in his left hand, stroked his long hair with his right hand, and said: "Don't say you, even that tiger idiot Xu Chu and evil Dian Wei are here, and can they resist a few rounds?" ”

"That's it! In today's battle, you and I will put aside the past feelings and only talk about loyalty! After Cao Xiu finished speaking, he clenched his fists towards Guan Yu with both hands and turned his horse back.

Looking at Cao Xiu's departing figure from afar, Guan Gong couldn't help but say, "Hey! Such a handsome talent turned out to be Cao Apu's clansman! It's a pity, it's a pity! ”

After speaking, he turned his horse's head and returned to his own position.

Let's say that Cao Xiu returned to the city and came to see Sima Yi and Cao Zhen and others.

"I didn't expect Guan Yunchang's martial arts to be even better than back then! If the warmth is still there, maybe it can resist this person! It's a pity that there is no one in our army who can stand up to this man. Cao Xiu spoke highly of Guan Yu.

Cao Zhen said in disbelief: "Is Guan Yu really comparable to Lu Bu in the past? ”

"Back then, a certain uncle conscripted Dong Zhuo, and saw this person's three brothers fighting with Wen Hou. Not to mention that Liu Xuande relied on his own strength to regret Lu Fengxian at that time, and after more than fifty combinations, Guan Zhang and the two of them raised their swords and spears at the same time, but they repelled Lu Fengxian within thirty combinations. Cao Xiu looked into the distance, looking nostalgic.

"Yes! The lord once said that Guan Zhang is all enemies! Now it seems that there is no one in our army to compete with it! Cao Zhen sighed and said.

Sima Yi smiled slightly beside him and said, "The courage of the horseman, what is the way?" They raised their troops to attack, and we just defended the city! Although they waved more than 100,000 troops, if they wanted to break through Gaoling City, it was not so simple! General Wen Lie, since no one can fight Guan Yunchang, don't fight against him! ”

Cao Xiu looked at Sima Yi, shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and had no choice but to give up.

They prepared to defend, while Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang discussed how to capture Gaoling City.

In the evening, the two left the barracks with several generals.

They came to the first hill on the north side of the camp.

Although this hill can't overlook the entire Gaoling Castle, it can see the defenses on the walls of Gaoling Castle at a glance!

After watching for a long time, Zhuge Liang said to Guan Yu: "This city is really difficult to attack!" One side is surrounded by mountains, and the other side is accompanied by water. It is difficult to storm both waterways and dry roads. ”

"Yes! Cheng Lian sent someone to report, but they were also dragged by Deng Ai. If they can cut off Gaoling's retreat from behind, maybe we can trap these people! Guan Yu replied.

"Sima Zhongda is attacking strategy, Deng Ai is familiar with geography, but the two are difficult to deal with together! However, the old man has already got along with each other, and he asked the general to return to the camp for a while! Zhuge Liang smiled mysteriously.

Hearing that Zhuge Liang already had a plan, Guan Yu was very happy and hurriedly invited Zhuge Liang back to the camp.

Back in the camp, Guan Yu directly invited Zhuge Liang to the big tent of the Chinese army.

"What's the plan?" Guan Yu couldn't wait to hold Zhuge Liang's arm and asked eagerly.

Seeing that Guan Yu was so anxious, Zhuge Liang patted Guan Yu's hand and said with a smile: "General, please take a seat, listen to the old man speak slowly!" ”

It turned out that Zhuge Liang saw the topography of Gaoling City, and began to think of a way to solve it.

Gaoling City, the city wall is several zhang high, and it is very wide, and two horse-drawn carriages can travel side by side on the city. Such walls are so strong that if you want to break through the city, you will definitely reach the sky!

However, the heavens seemed to favor Zhuge Liang very much, and when he felt helpless, he found that the hill under his feet turned out to be an earth mountain.

He kicked and stepped on it a few times, and concluded that the soil was soft and suitable for digging.

At this time, he thought of a way to attack Gaoling City!

"What? Siege of the city? Guan Yu asked in surprise.

The old god Zhuge Liang said: "Exactly, our army has hundreds of catapults, but there are not so many stones here. The soil beneath our feet was soft enough for us to dig into. We can have the soldiers wrap their clothes in the dirt and rush to the enemy city to make a feint, drop the dirt, and retreat! ”

"That's a good idea. I'm afraid ......" Guan Yu is still a little worried, what if Sima Yi finds out?

Zhuge Liang knew what Guan Yu was worried about at a glance, and comforted Guan Yu with a smile and said, "Gong is afraid that Sima Zhongda will not find out?" It doesn't matter, what if he is aware of it? I can't finish this today, but I can continue tomorrow! ”

Hearing Zhuge Liang say this, Guan Yu suddenly realized, and then laughed: "Haha! What the military advisor said was good. Our army is besieging the city, so naturally we can continue to confront him! ”

They came up with this countermeasure.

didn't know that in Gaoling City at this time, Sima Yi was also like an ant on a hot pot spinning back and forth in the house.

Because a soldier just came to report that they had seen Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang appear on the earth mountain not far away in the city!

This news really scared Sima Yi.

Although he knew that the two were there, he didn't dare to lead the troops out to arrest them!

After all, Guan Yu's force is there!

Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu were able to discover that dirt mountain, which showed that someone was very familiar with the terrain here. Although the view of the situation in the castle is not very comprehensive, it is one of the best observation points to understand the battle preparations before the Sekizen.

Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu saw the situation in the city, what actions would they make?

What should I do to prepare?

In the coming day, they will definitely attack the city!

Thinking of this, he immediately shouted: "Come on, quickly convene the generals, and discuss the meeting hall!" ”
