"General, let's have another drink, get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows!"

In the naval camp of Guandu, Cheng Shi, who was already half-drunk and half-awake, poured a glass of wine and persuaded Gan Ning, who was depressed and unbearable opposite. The latter was a little helpless when he heard this, but finally picked up his wine glass and sighed, and poured a glass of turbid wine down.

This is a partial tent in the camp of the Guandu Naval Army, in addition to Gan Ning and Cheng Zhi, there are Han Zhong, the son of Han Dang, Huang Shan, the son of Huang Gai, and several other naval captains and captains. Since Pang Tong's seizure of power, these less reliable people have been placed under house arrest here. Of course, in order to prevent the morale of the army from being unstable, Pang Tongyi did not kill them at any time. Gan Ning, who was depressed and unbearable, listened to the new Governor of the Navy, Pang Lin, shouting and giving orders outside, and his mood was naturally not better.

"I don't know what happened to the lord." Huang Shanshan took a sip of wine and sighed. Han Zhong on the side still said with some hope: "It is said that General Zhao has sent troops to Wancheng, and he must be able to rescue the lord." ”

"If it weren't for General Zhao being far away in Xichuan, how could Pang Shiyuan be so arrogant?" Cheng Zhi said that he hated it. Gan Ning, who had been silent, poured down the wine, and then spit out a sentence: "It's a pity that the people of Yanzhou and Yuzhou are all ungrateful. Now that Pang Shiyuan is a little entrapped, he will rebel with it, and he doesn't care about the lord who is close at hand! ”

"That's it, these Yanzhou and Yuzhou places are tricky, and there are no loyal people!" Huang Shant sighed. I didn't want him to say this as soon as he said this, and a voice came from outside the tent: "Who said that there are no loyal people in Yanzhou?" ”

"Li Zhengfang?" Gan Ning was also a thriller when he heard this, and hurriedly opened the tent door to take a look, but saw that it was Li Yan who walked into the tent with a smile on his face. But this was not the most unexpected thing for Gan Ning, what was even more unexpected for him was that Li Yan was followed by Pang Lin, who was tied up with all kinds of flowers.

"Li Zhengfang, what are you?" Seeing this, Gan Ning couldn't react for a while, and hurriedly asked. Li Yan smiled slightly and said, "Xingba, I, Li Zhengfang, have been dormant for a month, so I am looking for this opportunity to release you." Now that the lord is trapped in Xingyang, General Zhao led his army out of Wancheng and is about to fight Cao Hong in a decisive battle under the city. At this time, if you lead the sailor upstream, go straight to the Xingyang rear army, and take it by surprise, you will definitely win a big victory! Li Yan smiled.

"Zhengfang, you kid is still with us!" Gan Ning held back for a long time, and finally held back a sentence. Behind him, Cheng Shi and the others were also surprised and delighted. saw Li Yan smile slightly: "I, Li Yan, deeply feel the grace of the lord's knowledge, how can I see death and not save it?" It's just that Pang Shiyuan and others came back with troops a few days ago, even if I have the heart to save the lord, but I only have 40,000 or 50,000 troops and horses under my command, and I have to guard against Cao Ying, how can I deal with his 100,000 army? I can only endure for the time being, so as to gain the trust of others. Now that Liu Shuye led the army to Jingnan, Fu Shiren sent troops to Wancheng again, plus the 20,000 horses stationed in Ba County before, and now Pang Shiyuan's troops left in Xuchang are only about 20,000, so I have the courage to take the opportunity to take over his military power in one fell swoop, command the three armies, and then come to the water division here to kill Pang Lin by surprise and rescue you! If Pang Tong had been aware, my life would be small, and the lord would be in danger if he was trapped in Xingyang! ”

"Zhengfang endures humiliation and burden, Gan Ning admires it to the fullest!" Gan Ning also sighed. Of course, although Li Yan said that he was so loyal, in fact, the reason why he did not unify with Pang and went to the dark was more or less because he had some of his own plans.

Since Pang Tong seized power, he has wantonly divided his cronies and henchmen for more than a month. Li Yan knew that he was neither a classmate of Pang Tong nor a famous family in Jingxiang, and Pang Tong would definitely not tolerate him controlling the land of a state so much in the end, so he was superficially vain and wronged, and secretly accumulated strength to break with Pang Tong. Pang Tong didn't expect that Li Yan would have so many ghost calculations, so he actually asked him to make a secret calculation.

If the wheel army is resourceful, the sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks have their own strengths; But in terms of political ability, Pang Tong, whose surname is perverse, is far inferior to Zhuge Liang. His ambitious plan to support the young master was completely ruined in the end because of Li Yan's backlash.

"Have you ever caught Pang Shiyuan?" Han Zhong hurriedly asked. Not only him, but the rest of the people were also looking forward to it. If Pang Tong can be caught, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

"Nope!" Li Yan sighed a little frustratedly, and then sighed: "This guy is really cunning, and when he sees something wrong, he will immediately flee, I'm afraid that he will go to Jingnan to join Liu Shuye." After a pause, Li Yan said again: "Xingba, I have now incorporated Pang Tong's men and horses, but Yanzhou and Yuzhou together are only seventy or eighty thousand troops and horses. Except for those who guard against Cao Ying, there is not much left. Now it seems that you still have to rely on your sailor. In addition, I sent someone to immediately inform General Guan and Wen Zhongye to withdraw their troops and attack Cao Ying. Li Yan turned against the water, and the people and horses they hired to guard against Yanzhou could free up their hands and turn their heads to deal with Cao Ying.

"This is a very good plan, without further ado, I will send troops immediately!" Gan Ning nodded, Li Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he whispered a few words in Gan Ning's ear, Gan Ning nodded again and again when he heard it, and went to prepare not to mention it.

And all this, Zhao Feng and Cao Hong under Xingyang City don't know. Zhao Feng looked around, still following the old routine. He led the infantry up to fight Cao Hong first, and at the same time let Zhao Yun lead the cavalry to roam around, once he found that there was a vacancy, he would take the opportunity to be ruthless. In this way, Cao Hong will inevitably be dragged down in the end.

"All the soldiers, form a sharp formation, and rush with me!" Looking at Zhao Feng's army on the opposite side, Cao Hong gave an order, and the 90,000 Cao troops immediately gathered into six huge arrow formations and rushed towards Zhao Feng's army formation. The foot soldiers and cavalry came together with great momentum, and the momentum was extremely amazing.

The weakness of the Blade Formation lies in the instability of the rear of the formation. If the enemy attacks with a sharp arrow formation, then the best countermeasure is to use the crane wing formation, first to suppress the opponent's frontal attack, and then attack the opponent's center with the two wings of the crane wing formation. In this way, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort. But if you can't withstand the opponent's strong attack head-on, then you will lose. As for who will be at the top, Zhao Feng thought about it, but only he could take on this heavy responsibility.

However, Zhao Feng now has a lot of chips in his hand, and with Zhao Yun's 20,000 Xiliang Iron Horse, it is best to outflank the opponent's back. Of course, Cao Hong is not a person who lacks heart, 120,000 Cao troops, he only used 90,000 to attack Zhao Feng's frontal army formation, and the rest were reserved as reserves, ready to intercept Zhao Yun's Xiliang Iron Cavalry and protect the safety of his flanks.

"Crossbowman, let's go!" With Niu Jin's roar, the crossbowmen who had already prepared in the front row of the Sichuan army immediately picked up the crossbow arrows in their hands and began to shoot. The powerful crossbows, the repeating crossbows with ten arrows at one crossbow, the copper box crossbow with ten arrows at one box, and all kinds of crossbow arrows began to roar angrily. The soldiers of the Cao Army, who rushed to the front row, were all shot to the ground in an instant.

Stepping crossbows, copper box crossbows, and ordinary crossbow arrows are all right, but the repeaters are really shocking enough. Unlike the Battle of Longxi that year, the bow and crossbow carried by Zhao Feng this time were all the belongings he took out in Xichuan after all these years of careful preparation. Although it was fired on the plains, the lethality was a little bit stronger than when he stopped Xiahou Yuan in the street pavilion. Cao Honghe, who served as the commander of the Chinese army, was also secretly frightened when he saw it.

"Mr. Berning, what kind of bow and crossbow do you think this is, it's so powerful?" Seeing the seemingly endless repeating crossbows, Cao Hong was also frightened. If you want to go on like this, you will have to leave 10,000 people behind before you can fight with the other party.

"According to General Miaocai, Zhao Botao was in Xichuan back then, and he once sent someone to make a repeating crossbow, and I think this is it!" Full of pets was a little shocked. After a pause, Man Chong also comforted: "General Zilian, don't panic, although this crossbow is sharp. But with such an astonishing arrow consumption, it is expected that Zhao Botao will not be able to last. ”

"That's it!" Cao Hong was also a little relieved when he heard this, but Zhao Feng didn't rely on the crossbow alone to deal with him. The advantage of the repeater is that it is fired continuously, but the range is short, the arrow consumption is amazing, and the arrow is too cumbersome, and even the strength is not enough, which is the disadvantage of the repeater. In order to make up for these shortcomings, Zhao Feng deliberately arranged copper box crossbows and treadling crossbows for long-range sniping, and the repeater crossbows were only close-range shots. Moreover, the shooters were also divided into three rows, firing repeatedly to ensure uninterrupted firepower. In this way, the pressure faced by Cao Hong and others is great enough.

Cao Hong was shocked at this time, but he didn't know that his opponent Zhao Feng was also quite surprised. At this time, Zhao Feng already knew that it was not Cao Ying who was facing him today, but Cao Hong. I thought that if I changed to this urgent surname, I could easily handle it. But now that he was fighting, his crossbow arrows caused him so many casualties, but Cao Jun still pressed over slowly and firmly, although it was relatively slow, but the formation was not chaotic after all. This was the case with Xiahou Yuan in Longxi at the beginning, and the same is true with Cao Hong now.

In fact, although his ability may not be as good as Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, Cao Hong is definitely a famous general. Zhao Feng understood at this time that he must not underestimate any opponent. Seeing that Cao Jun was about to come forward, Zhao Feng gave an order, and immediately changed his formation to ordinary foot soldiers, preparing to fight to the death with the other party. As for Zhao Yun's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it is still necessary to wait for the battle to become a little anxious before joining the battle circle to achieve the best results.

"Kill!" I don't know who roared first, and then the 200,000 troops on both sides immediately roared together, starting the fiercest and most tragic hand-to-hand combat. Countless blades and spears stabbed out and cut off, and no one knew if their head was still attached to their necks in the next moment. All they know is that they should cut their blades at the enemy who is different from their own.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Xiahou Ba Hehe roared wildly, and the big knife in his hand flew up and down, and many people had already died under his knife. When the killing was in pain, Xiahou Basuo opened his mouth and let out a howl like a wild wolf.

"What the hell are you howling about?" With this angry scolding, a green dragon knife slashed at the ground. Hurriedly crossed the big knife in his hand to block the knife, and Xiahou Ba looked at the person in front of him fixedly. Although it is a classic combination of green parrot robe + green dragon knife, it lacks a long beard and a red face that marks the surname. All this is enough to show that even if this person is not Guan Yu, he must have a deep relationship with Guan Yu.

"Who are you Guan Yu?" Xiahou Ba scolded angrily and slashed out. Guan Ping crossed the knife and shook off this move, and then shouted while returning the move: "I am Guan Ping, the thief will die!" ”

"Hmph, even if Guan Yu Lao'er comes in person, I'm not afraid!" Xiahou Ba said disdainfully, and then swung his knife and fought with Guan Ping. On the other side, Zhao Yun, who was wandering around, was entangled by Yu Ban.
