Li Dian smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, he didn't expect that a nameless person in the Yanzhou army would be so ashamed of himself, he really couldn't imagine it, but Li Dian had to admit that the other party did have this strength.

On the other side, Xia Houen and Cao Chun also ran into trouble, Xia Houen bumped into Yanzhou general Zhu Ling head-on, and it was Yanzhou general Lu Qian who entangled Cao Chun.

These two pairs of battles are evenly matched, and the kills are inseparable. Over the years, the generals of the Yanzhou Army have developed rapidly, and they are no longer in the original overstretched situation, Zang Ba's army is so nesting, and so are other armies.

However, the situation of the soldiers of the Cao army is not good, and they have gradually fallen into a disadvantage, after all, the quality of the Yanzhou army is still much worse than that of the Yanzhou army.

As the Yanzhou army increased at the head of the city, Cao's army began to retreat and constantly shrink to the rear. A burst of cheers came from the recruitment, and the Yanzhou army shouted: "The city is broken, the city is broken!" ”

Li Dian's heart sank, knowing that the city gate below had been lost, and Lingbi City could no longer be defended. Suddenly, a burst of heat came from his shoulder, and Li Dian knew that he was injured, so he yelled at a swing of the silver gun and used a life-saving stunt. forced Hao Shao away, looked back, but saw a thin and tall man standing behind him, holding a long knife with this blood stain on the head of the knife, obviously this person was sneaking up on him.

Li Dian gritted his teeth and said: "Shameless rats, report your name!" The big man snorted coldly: "The teeth are sharp and the mouth is sharp, the time of death has come, and he is still there to show off his lips and tongue!" This general is the Yanzhou general Zang Ba! ”

The muscles on Li Dian's face jumped. But the heart sank. He knew he was going to die here today.

Zang Ba looked at Li Dian and said with a smile: "Your Excellency has a good idea, you actually know how to use fire attacks to deal with vine armor." But I'll tell you, the Yanzhou Army's rattan armor has already been coated with a layer of fireproof material. It won't be burned by fire at all. Li Dian snorted angrily and said, "Then why don't you use rockets to attack the city?" This kind of strategy doesn't seem to be something you can think of. ”

Zang Ba laughed and said: "Your Excellency knows very well, Zang Ba really doesn't have so many thoughts. This ploy was conceived by Mr. Xu Shu to deal with you who think you are smart. ”

Li Dian's pupils contracted, and he said in surprise: "Xu Shu...... Could it be that he had long planned to use this kind of ghost trick against me Li Dian? Zang Ba looked at Li Dian and said sarcastically: "You don't need to give me a sloppy eye, Cao Mengde's thoughts on Mr. Xu Shu are all in vain, and I am here to thank Cao Mengde on behalf of Mr. Xu Shu." Also, the general should not think too highly of himself, Your Excellency is not in the eyes of my military division, this kind of carving insect skill is just a precaution, not aimed at someone. Hmph, you just know how powerful rockets are. But I didn't know that the rocket cost was extremely high. Where are there so many rockets for us? If there were rockets, we would have used them. Li Dian hated it in his heart, and he didn't expect that he would be ridiculed by the other party like this. Of course, Xu Shu's matter made him confused, he didn't expect that Xu Shu was actually a pawn of Xu Ji to deal with Cao Cao, so wouldn't Cao Cao's strategy in Chang'an all fail?

Li Dian is a core member of Cao Cao's army, and he has a deep understanding of Cao Cao's schemes, and his concern is chaotic. At the moment, my heart was in turmoil, and my eyes began to wander. I can't wait to get out of here immediately and go back to report everything to Cao Cao. Therefore, the intention of retreat was born, and the murderous spirit was greatly reduced. Zang Ba was overjoyed, and this was the effect he wanted. Otherwise, how can you easily kill Li Dian, who is known as a wise general in Cao Cao's army? At that moment, his face changed, turned to Sen Han, and looked at Li Dian expressionlessly. sneered: "General Li Dian, don't waste your efforts. This is your burial place today. ”

Li Dian's face changed. Of course, he heard the meaning of the other party's words, and the other party did have this strength. A Hao Shao himself is still difficult to deal with, plus a Zang Ba who is similar to Hao Shao, where can he still live? At this moment, a miserable cry came from the side, and when the three of them looked together, they saw Xia Houen standing with his eyebrows crossed, holding a green steel sword, and striding towards the three of them. Zhu Ling behind him had already fallen to his knees. Obviously, he was seriously injured, and seeing that his face was pale and his whole body was trembling, it could be known that Zhu Ling had lost his combat ability.

A gust of knife wind came from the mountains and seas, Hao Shao and Zang Ba snorted coldly, waved their long knives in their hands, and greeted them. "Li Dian, you tell Lao Tzu to retreat quickly, and explain the matter here to Meng Degong. Lao Tzu is a fool, but you, a person who understands, want to live, you know? Xiahouen yelled. In an instant, there were two more knife marks on his body, but Zang Ba also had a wound on his face, and blood flowed out.

Li Dian had tears on his face, nodded vigorously, and whimpered in his voice: "Yes!" Then he turned and departed. When Zang Ba and Hao Shao saw this situation, they realized that Xia Houen wanted to abandon the pawn to protect the car and cover Li Dian's escape, where would they be willing to give up? wanted to turn around and chase Li Dian, but Xia Houen was like a mad tiger at this time, entangled the two of them to death, so that the two of them could not get out, even with the martial arts of the two, they could only temporarily avoid their edge, and wait until Xia Houen's murderous aura was over, and then they could kill Xia Houen.

Li Dian's face was full of tears, his body retreated to Cao Chun's side, and he struggled to use a shot to force Lu Qian, who was in a hurry because he was caught off guard, and beckoned Cao Chun, who was sweating profusely, to retreat. Cao Chun reluctantly looked at Xia Houen, who was not far away with blood gushing out of his body, and then followed Li Dian to retreat with a resolute face.

Lu Qian only reacted at this time, and hurriedly commanded his men to chase forward. was intercepted and killed by the Cao soldiers who stayed behind to break down, although it didn't take long to break through the barrier, but Li Dian and Cao Chun had already gone down to the city. Lu Qian's eyes showed a cold murderous intent, and he commanded his soldiers to continue to chase. At this time, there was already a shouting of killing inside and outside Lingbi City, and there were soldiers of the two armies chasing each other everywhere, and the Yanzhou army had never encountered such a difficult army since its debut, and it was aroused by ferocity. Fight bravely.

Li Dian and Cao Chun came down to the city, constantly provoking the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army around them, and on the other hand, they boarded their war horses, led the soldiers who were constantly gathering around them, and killed the east gate of Lingbi City, and finally broke through the encirclement and killed out of the city.

Lu Qian went out of the city to chase for a long time, but when he couldn't catch up, he returned to the city in a huff. At this time, the battle in Lingbi City had ended. The Yanzhou army is cleaning up the battlefield. The city was filled with the groans of pain from the wounded soldiers of both armies. Dressed in white cloth, Yanzhou military doctors were busy walking back and forth, treating wounded soldiers. The soldiers of Cao Cao's army were no exception.

Lu Yu came to the city, but saw Zang Ba and Hao Shao standing on the city wall. was looking at Zhu Lingdi's injuries with concern with his head down, Zhu Ling was surrounded by a group of white-clothed doctors at this time, his pale face was a lot more ruddy, and it seemed that he was fine.

Lu Yu stepped forward. Bai fell to the ground and hung his head a little ashamedly and said: "Report to General Zang Ba, my subordinates are incompetent, so Cao Chun and Li Dian ran away." After that, he looked at Zang Ba a little worriedly, for fear that Zang Ba would blame.

Hao Shao reacted extremely quickly, and his body shook when he heard this. Turning his head to look at Zang Ba, he said, "Zang Shuai, this thing is not very good." Zang Shuai said a lot of things to Li Dian just now......"

Zang Ba first asked Lu Qian to get up, and then smiled: "This matter is nothing, the war has developed to this stage, and it is too late for Cao Cao to turn back." And Li Dian may not be able to tell this news to Cao Mengde in time, don't forget that Sicheng and Pengcheng are now surrounded by our army, and the only possibility for Li Dian to escape is to return to Huaiyin and Huai'an, where they are. With Lord Xun Yu here, what can Li Dian do? Isn't it just the same? Hao Shao patted his forehead and said embarrassedly: "Hao Shao is confused." ”

Zang Ba looked at Hao Shao and said with a smile: "Hao Shao, you are doing a very good job." On weekdays, I think you're a talent. I hope you won't disappoint me. Hao Shao nodded vigorously, a teachable look.

Lu Qian thought of Xia Houen, who was fighting with the two, and hurriedly asked. Zang Ba's eyes showed a look of admiration, and he said softly: "Leave the enemy alone." This Xiahouen is really a good man, and he stopped us many times in that situation. Rather die than give in, people will appreciate. I have already called for a proper burial for him. Lu Qian thought for a while and said: "The sword in that Xiahouen's hand is very powerful, cutting gold and breaking jade, which is much stronger than our Yanzhou horse chopping knife." ”

Zang Ba smiled and said, "That sword is Cao Cao's personal sword, named 'Qing Yu', and the other is called 'Yitian', one of these two swords is used for attack, one is used for defense, and Liu Bei's male and female double-strand sword is agreed." ”

Lu Qian nodded and said with a smile: "This sword can be said to be our best trophy, if you give it to the lord, the lord will definitely be happy." Zang Ba nodded, looked out of the city, and said softly: "Lingbi City has been taken, we have to inform Mr. Xun You immediately." Let's make a little repair, Lu Qian, you and Zhu Ling stay here to guard Lingbi, and Hao Shao and I will lead other troops to chase after Mr. Xun You, you must know that after capturing Huaiyin and Huai'an and Yandu, we must quickly attack Jiangdu and Shatou Town in Guangling, and take all the Yangzhou cities north of the Yangtze River in our hands, so that Cao Cao Chang will lose the two springboards of Guangling. I believe that Brother Sun Guan has almost carried out it, and Sicheng should be in his pocket. ”

Hao Shao and Lu Qian should be. As Zang Ba expected, at the same time that Lingbi City was attacked, Sicheng was also occupied by Sun Guan's army, and the Cao army guards in Sicheng were Le Jin and Chun Yudao and Xiahou Jie, although Sun Guan and Sun Kang's people were not the opponents of these three, but the overall strength of the Yanzhou army was too strong, and because of the lack of anticipation of the Yanzhou army's god arm bow, they were seriously injured when they first engaged, and Chun Yudao was shot in the arm and lost his combat ability.

After a bloody battle, the generals of the Cao army here had no choice but to lead the army to retreat. He made the same choice as Li Dian and ran in the direction of Huai'an City. As a result, the flank that protected Cao Cao's army fighting in the East China Sea had already broken through the three cities, and only the city of Pengcheng remained.

After a slight adjustment, Sun Guan left only his younger brother Sun Kang to garrison Sicheng, and then he led the army to drive straight to Huai'an City.

Just when the big stations were in full swing, Xun You's army had quietly arrived outside Huaiyin City.

The big station that cut off the back road of Cao Cao's army and then took control of the cities north of the Yangtze River is about to start. In the big tent of the Chinese army in Xun Youdi, Xun You sat on the seat. With a smile on his face, he looked at the information sent from all over the place, and he looked happy.

At this time, in addition to Xun You, there were also Guan Hai and Liao Hua in the big tent, and there were also the original fierce generals of the Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army and Liu Bi and Gong Du, the leaders of the Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army. Xun You's march is a major task, of course, he must bring enough manpower, but Youzhou is now in the border war, Chen Zhi, Zhang He, and Gao Ran are inseparable, and Yan Yuer, the wife of Gao Shun, a famous female general in the Yanzhou army, is pregnant at one time, of course, she can't go to the battlefield, and she can't hold a knife and gun. Her husband Gao Shun has another task, and of course he has no time to doppelgänger. Naturally, I can't count on it.

In desperation, Xun Yu had no choice but to take three generals of the Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army to the expedition. However, these three people were carefully selected by Xun You, and it has always been his principle to prefer lack to abuse. He won't use someone who can't be trusted. And the three people in front of them are Xun You, Tian Chou, Min Rou and others who feel reassuring after watching coldly. Yu Man is reckless. is a straightforward person, naturally trustworthy, and has strong martial arts, although there is a certain distance compared with Guan Hai. But it's also a rare warrior.

Liu Pi has a calm personality and does everything he can, although he is not an outstanding talent, but he is a character who can be alone for many times wherever he is placed.

Gong Du is a witty person, although he has read very little and has limited knowledge. But the change in the plan in front of him is extremely fast. In time, he is a talent that can be cultivated. If it weren't for the fact that he was not very relieved about the Gongsun family in Liaodong, Xun You would also like to bring people from the Gongsun family here, such as Gongsun Zan's son Gongsun Xu. and that Gongsun Du, they are all good military talents.

When everyone saw the smile on Xun You's face, they knew that many of the Yanzhou Army's goals had been accomplished, and they were naturally full of joy.

There is no restraint between Liao Hua and Xun You, seeing Xun You like this. Then he smiled and asked, "Mr. Xun You, what is the happy event?" Xun You put down the letter, looked at everyone and smiled: "Lingbi and Sicheng have been captured, as for Xia Cai." Negotiations are underway at this time. However, the progress is very smooth, Hengfan's kid has already made Zhang Ying dizzy, and Cai Cheng is just around the corner. Hey, maybe. It's already in our hands now.

After a pause, Xun You smiled and said, "As for Shouchun City." It has already been broken by General Zhang Ji, and Lord Liu Miao originally wanted to cross the river and go straight to Xia Cai. But he was overturned by the water thieves sent by General Lei Bo in the river, and almost drowned, but fortunately he was rescued ashore, and now he is recuperating in Shouchun City. When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and they all looked beaming.

Guan Hai said: "In this way, the only one who hasn't been taken down now is Peng Cheng?" ”

Xun You nodded and said: "That's right, but I don't think Peng Cheng will last long, with Xu Shu's kid here, it will be a matter of time before Peng Cheng is taken, we don't have to wait for him, this Huaiyin City in front of us is our goal." Everyone nodded, understanding what Xun Yu meant, because the purpose of Xu Shu's army was to take Pengcheng, and then cross the downstream of the rendezvous between Wenshui and Surabaya, and join the army of Yu and Gao Shun to deal with Cao Cao.

The supporting forces of Xun You's army were Zang Ba's army, Sun Guan's army, Zhang Ji's army, and Ji Ling's army, so Xun You could continue to march as long as he learned the news of the victory of the three armies. Liu Pi took over and said, "Mr. Youruo, I have already investigated these three cities according to your instructions. It seems that Cao Cao also knows the importance of these three cities, originally this is a forest, but it has been cut down by Cao Cao's soldiers, I believe that standing on the top of the city can be seen in the distance, we dare not get too close to Huaiyin City now, because as soon as we appear, the other party will immediately find out that it is us, which is a bit of a real headache. ”

Yu Man said inexplicably: "What is this?" According to the strength of our army, can't we still defeat Huaiyin City? Gong didn't glared at him angrily, and laughed: "You guy has a long body out of thin air but you don't like to use your brain, I just ask you how to besiege the city if you have reinforcements outside?" This is the basic common sense of siege warfare, I don't know, I really don't understand how you survived the battlefield all these years. ”

Yu Man was a fierce general who rushed into battle and had never cared about this kind of thing, and after hearing the words at the moment, he was just embarrassed to smirk but didn't answer, obviously this is not the first time Gong Du has said this about him. And Liao Hua has been in the Yanzhou army for many years, has rich combat experience, and knows the various strategies of the Yanzhou army very well, and said with a smile: "If the three cities are connected end to end, it is good to say, we can send reinforcements for the point, you must know that although the mobility of our army is not strong, but then rushed to Zangba's army, Zhang Ji's army, and Sun Guan's army are very mobile, we can attack the city on the one hand, and set up an ambush on the way on the other hand, just wait for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive, you can kill the other party without leaving a piece of armor, But the problem is that when the other party knows that our army is besieging the city, he will understand that there is a change in the battle ahead, and he will immediately send someone to inform Cao Cao. Cao Cao can once again garrison these three cities, and at that time, it will be difficult for us to control the north bank of the Yangtze River. Everyone suddenly realized and nodded.

Xun You looked at Liao Hua and said with a smile: "Yuan Jian is really getting more and more knowledgeable, I also mean this, this time the other party guarding these three cities is Cao Cao's good friend Bao Xin and his son, and the staff officer left behind is the wise general Manzhong, these two people are people who have been stationed in Jiangdong all the year round and have dealt with my Yanzhou army, not easy to match, we must not take it lightly." Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought, the situation in front of them is a three-city chain, and the whole body is affected by one hair, what should be done? (To be continued......)
