Chapter 16 The siege is the next to lead the snake out

Tao Qian saw that the army was angry! I was hesitating. Fortunately, Chen Deng, who was with the army, hurriedly stepped forward, raised his hands and pressed down again and again, signaling the army not to make noise.

Chen Deng stopped the army before turning to Tao Qian and saluting, "Lord! Don't fall for the Cao thief, he is obviously afraid of forcibly attacking the city, and the loss to him is too great, so he set up a radical plan! ”

Chen Deng was born in a famous family in Xuzhou. Cao Bao didn't dare to treat him like Hua Fei, he just glared at him hatefully.

Then he also arched his hand to Tao Qianyu and said, "Lord! If we and the enemy army, only two of them are calling for battle under the city, and we will not dare to go out of the city to deal with it. And if you let the enemy army insult you under the city, you are afraid that the morale will be low and it will be extremely detrimental to the defense! ”

Tao Qian was a little moved when he heard this, but he heard Chen Deng say again: "Lord! Don't forget, Peng Zhan once said that among the Cao army, there are a lot of fierce generals. Deng thought that if the lord came to the battlefield in person, he was afraid that there would be more luck and less luck, and he hoped that the lord would be careful. ”

Tao Qian thought for a moment and asked Chen Deng: "Yuanlong, if you don't go out of the city to deal with it, I'm afraid it will indeed have an impact on the morale of our army." ”

Chen Deng bowed his hand and replied: "Lord! Why do we have to listen to that, Cao Cao's words and go out of the city to deal with it? Is it true that when we speak from the towers, their ears become deaf, and they cannot hear? ”

Chen Deng's words caused Tao Qian to clap his hands and shout loudly, "Okay!" ”。 Then he stood up and hurriedly walked two steps and said: "If it weren't for what Yuanlong said, Ben Hou would have almost fallen for Cao Thief." ”

After speaking, he took Chen Deng and others to the battlements in person. On the sturdy and tall Pengcheng, talk to Cao Cao. The two sides knew what they knew, and there was a confrontation of words and swords.

Because of the existence of Chen Deng in Tao Qian's army, he did not suffer a loss. Then he ordered the rude soldiers to exchange fierce insults.

Cao Cao saw that his plan to lure the enemy out of the city had failed. I also saw that the terrain of Pengcheng was shaan, which was not conducive to the strong attack of the army. In addition, his army is tired from afar, and he has always known that the elite soldiers of Danyang are indeed very warlike and strong.

Worried about the disadvantage of these points, Cao Cao ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp. I'm going to wait until I think of a way first, and then I'll break down Pengcheng.

Tao Qian was complacent on the edge of the battlements, watching Cao Cao's army retreat like the tide of the sea in the southeast wind. Enjoy the cheers of 100,000 men.

The two Cao Bao brothers even slapped their ass. Straightened his neck and praised Tao Qian, as if he had won Cao Cao, and his face was as bright as a mountain flower.

Tao Qian was in a good mood, and he couldn't help but be ambitious, and waved his hand at the soldiers and shouted: "Cao thief is nothing more than that!" If he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, he should lead the crowd and kill him without returning! ”

The Xuzhou soldiers waved their blades and shouted: "The lord is mighty, invincible in the world!" "The sound is like the thunder of the nine heavens, and the earthquake is high and long. Tao Qian was complacent and inspected the city tower. It wasn't until he felt a little tired that he reluctantly left the castle tower and went to rest.

After Cao Cao's army retreated, he immediately held a military meeting in the big tent of the Chinese army. Prepare to gather everyone's intelligence, analyze and discuss how to take Pengcheng as soon as possible?

With Cao Cao's order, the drum of the gathering generals 'dong dong...' suddenly sounded, and the three-way drum was completed, and all the generals gathered.

Cao Cao sat high in the middle military tent, squinting at the generals lined up under the tent.

Only then did he slowly open his voice: "There is Weishan Lake in the north of Pengcheng, containing the waste Yellow River, surrounded by mountains, and the terrain is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack!" However, if Pengcheng is broken, the gateway to Xuzhou will also be opened for us. At that time, Xuzhou will be the world we are waiting for! Everyone~~ What is the best way to break the city? ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, a person behind him snatched out. He leaned over and shouted in a majestic voice: "Lord! Give Wei 10,000 elite soldiers, swear to break Pengcheng, open the city gate to welcome the lord into Xuzhou. ”

Everyone regarded him as Cao Cao's personal guard, Dian Wei, who was known as the evil of the ancients.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Evil comes from loyalty and bravery!" However, at this time, it is under discussion. You can retreat first, and when I can find you, I will call you. ”

Cao Cao retreated from the belligerent Dian Wei, and another person came out and said, "Lord! Tao Qian's old man is weak, we can first let people fight outside the city to demoralize the defenders, and then attack the city. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Wen Ze's plan is very good!" "But he is Cao Cao's left-hand commander, and he is listed among the five good generals in later generations.

Later, Cao Ren and other generals offered suggestions one after another, one of which was greatly appreciated by Cao Cao, but it was a serial attack strategy offered by Li Dian.

According to the terrain and the characteristics of Cao's army, he suggested that Cao Cao divide the army into several pulls, like the waves of the sea, and constantly attack the enemy army. So that the enemy army has no time to rest. Tired and tired to death.

In the end, Cao Cao ordered the generals to retreat and rest, and to recuperate so that they could break the city tomorrow. But he was in the big tent, and he had a secret discussion with Xun You, the accompanying military teacher.

Cao Cao looked at Xun You and asked, "Gongda!" What do you think of the siege strategy offered by the generals? ”

Xun You bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Lord! The plans offered by the generals are quite brilliant! However, when I think about it, it is all based on siege. This is a bit of a big loss for our army! ”

He paused for a moment, and then spoke: "I have an idea, maybe we can quickly take Pengcheng without attacking the city." ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao was worried about attacking the city, and when he heard this, he looked at Xun You with bright eyes, and hurriedly stretched out his right hand and said, "Gongda can come quickly." ”

Xun You didn't reply immediately, he first turned his head and looked around, and then said, "Lord! Tao Qian can't hold on, this is indeed a superior plan to deal with our army! However, Tao Qian is old, but his temperament is old and spicy, with a good reputation and self-serving! I have this plan for his character. ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, stood up and rushed to Xun You's side, and said urgently: "Gongda!" What's the solution? ”

Xun You looked around again, and simply leaned over to Cao Cao's ear. The ear is whispering for a while, and Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he nodded and praised from time to time!

In the end, he gave a high-five: "Good! It's a good one to lure the snake out of the hole, Gongda is really clever! admirable! ”

Xun Yu said: "Don't dare to be..."

Immediately, the two consulted carefully again, arranged the actions and division of labor of the army in detail, and it was not until late at night that Cao Cao secretly mobilized the army, and the generals obeyed the order.

The next day, the sky was bright and the sun was shining. When Hua Fei led everyone to fly out of Tancheng, Cao Cao had already led the well-fed army to Pengcheng again!

After Cao Cao waited for the army to open the formation, he ordered Dian Wei to go out to fight first, and then ordered many fierce generals to take turns to fight the Xuzhou army!

In front of the battle, thousands of sergeants with loud voices were selected. All of them were bare-chested and bare-chested, spitting at Peng Cheng, scolding Tao Qian's ancestors for eighteen generations! Even with scolding, the world-famous Danyang elite soldiers are brave people who have a false reputation...

This group of sergeants was carefully selected by Cao Cao, with a very vicious tongue, and a loud voice, scolding endlessly, and in the end, they even cooperated with each other. Extremely provocative.

This scolding of the people in the morning until noon, and the warlike Danyang elite soldiers, all of them jumped like thunder on the battlements, jumping up and down with weapons, and they couldn't wait to rush down the city and tear the beaks of these 'thieves'!

Tao Qian was even more angry on the city tower, and he wanted to lead the army out of the city again and again to destroy these dogs and kill talents!

But helplessly, Chen Deng, who was very knowledgeable, was beside him, knowing that this was Cao Cao's strategy, so he grabbed him and persuaded Tao Qian not to take Pengcheng as the priority. Don't fall for the enemy's tricks!

It is even more recommended that Tao Qian is really angry. You can organize people to scold the enemy at the city gate, and even Tao Qian can go up and scold a few words, throw a few stones and put a few arrows or something, and let out the evil anger in his heart. This can be regarded as stopping Tao Qian in the rampage.

In an instant, the city was up and down, and the foul language unfolded, and the good drama of scolding and fighting. At this time, Hua Fei had also arrived, not far from Pengcheng in Lu County.

Tao Qian was caught in the crowd of Danyang elite soldiers, and after scolding the city for a while, he felt his mouth dry. When he was returning to the city tower to drink some water, moisten his throat first, rest for a while, and then go to scold the gang of killers.

Suddenly, a sentry came to report: "The enemy's rear formation is far in the northwest direction, and there is smoke and dust in the middle of a mountain, and you can faintly see the big banner of the word 'Tian' waving, as if a large army is marching towards the enemy's rear." ”

Tao Qian looked at Chen Deng and said: "Tianzi banner? Could it be that Qingzhou Tian Kai's reinforcements have arrived? ”

Chen Dengshang spoke at the end, and suddenly the sentry made an urgent report: "Lord! Cao Cao's rear army has moved, the ladder has been erected, and it seems that it is ready to attack the city! ”

Tao Qian was taken aback, and listened to it, but outside the city, the desolate horn 'woo woo...' sounded, and the majestic drum sound 'dong~~dong...' played.

Cao Bao jumped out again and shouted: "The lord is overjoyed! ”

Tao Qian said angrily: "The enemy army is about to attack the city, why is there any joy?" ”

Cao Bao hurriedly said: "Lord! Now that the enemy army is attacking the city, once it intersects with our army, how can it retreat suddenly? And at this time, if reinforcements come in from behind, how can Cao's army not be chaotic? ”

Tao Qian's eyes lit up when he heard this: "This is reasonable! ”

Cao Bao arched his hand again: "Lord! You can leave more than 10,000 elite soldiers to defend the city and engage the enemy. And order the rest of the army to prepare early, once the enemy army is chaotic, we can speed the army to kill, and the reinforcements before and after the enemy army! Aren't you afraid that he Cao Cao will not die and the enemy army will not be defeated? ”

Tao Qian was so happy that his beard was curled, and he shouted loudly: "Okay! Let's do it according to this. ”

Chen Deng hurriedly came out and shouted: "Lord, slow down!" The reinforcements came strangely, but I was afraid that it was Cao Cao's trick, and I hoped that the lord would think twice before acting. ”

Tao Qian was stunned when he heard this, Cao Bao clenched his fists and jumped to Chen Deng: "Chen Yuanlong, how can such a great opportunity be strange?" Don't forget that Elk Zizhong had already gone to call for help. You and other literati don't know that the fighter plane is fleeting, how can such a great opportunity be allowed to pass in vain? ”

He screamed so hard that his throat hurt, so he stopped and swallowed his saliva and shouted: "And the Cao army is overwhelming, if it is because of the timidity of our army, we can't immediately respond to the reinforcements that come to help." If an inadvertent leader leads to the defeat of reinforcements, how should the people of the world view the lord? ”

Chen Deng was about to speak, Tao Qian was already relieved when he heard this, and waved his hand: "Cao Bao is right, I must not let the kind people come to help, the reinforcements will be lost!" Come on, immediately rearm for battle! Ben Hou was a big defeat for Cao's army. ”

Chen Deng hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Lord! You must not go into battle yourself..."

Tao Qian waved his hand, interrupted him impatiently, and said repeatedly: "If you don't go into battle in person, who is willing to die?" Yuanlong doesn't need to persuade more, the intention of the candidate has been decided. If you don't dare to go into battle, you can lead 30,000 elite soldiers to defend the city, and watch this day show your might! ”

Chen Deng was about to persuade again, when he suddenly heard the drums outside the city turn urgent, the sound shook high in the air, and suddenly the shouting and killing sound was loud!

The sentry urgently reported that the enemy's siege army was approaching the city and was about to attack the city.
