Li Dian's words made Xia Houen and Cao Chun's faces change greatly, and at this time, the vanguard of Zang Ba's army had already charged to the place near the city wall.

The soldiers of the Cao army desperately shot bows and arrows outside the city, in the hope of killing and injuring the Yanzhou army, but all of them were in vain, and they could not even stop the Yanzhou army for a moment.

Xia Houen rubbed his big hands anxiously and said uneasily: "How is this good?" Then he pulled out his sword and said hesitantly: "If the weapons in each soldier's hand are as good as the Qinghong sword given by my lord, then it will be fine." You will definitely be able to kill all these Yanzhou troops in front of you. Cao Chunbai glanced at Xiahouen, secretly scolded stupidity in his heart, and said coldly: "General Xiahou, let's not talk about the fact that the training and combat ability of our soldiers are worse than those of the Yanzhou army, that is, the Qingyu Sword in your hand is not a divine weapon in the eyes of the Yanzhou Army, and your Qingyu Sword may not be able to deal with the armor on these soldiers in front of you." ”

Li Dian looked at Xiahouen, who wanted to defend himself, and said with a smile: "General Xiahou, General Cao Chun is right, you must know that we have done business with the Yanzhou army, and we all know the weapons used by the Yanzhou army so far, let's just say that the horse chopping knife in the hands of those soldiers is extremely sharp, although there is still some distance compared with this Qingyu sword, but it is not out of reach, and the kind of armor passed on by these Yanzhou soldiers is indeed very strange, and it may not be something that the Qingyu sword can deal with." Xia Houen said with annoyance: "It's really annoying, you can't shoot with a bow and arrow, and you can't use a rolling wood stone when you get close." How can this be taught?"

Cao Chun looked at Li Dian and found that Li Diandi's face was still very calm, obviously in his chest. So he said to Xiahou: Xiahou, you don't have to be impatient. General Li Dian naturally has a way.

Xia Houen found out about Li Dian's quietness, and he came to his senses. You must know that Li Dian is a well-known wise general among Cao's army. Even Cheng Yu, Mao Jie, and other military advisors praised him. Li Dian didn't look at the two of them, took a deep breath, and said abruptly: "Today's weather is so good, there is no smell of fireworks in the air." It was a big surprise to me. ”

Xia Houen and Cao Chun glanced at each other inexplicably, and they really didn't understand what Li Dian was talking about.

Li Dian seemed to be talking to himself, and said softly: "As far as I know, the Yanzhou army also has a strange carved arrow, called a rocket, which is the only magic weapon used for siege of cities. Why don't you see the Yanzhou army in front of you? Otherwise, why can't I smell the fireworks? Cao Chun and Xia Houen became more and more incomprehensible. But they were stopped by Li Dian's question, they obviously didn't think about it so much, yes, why didn't the Yanzhou army use rockets?

Li Dian looked at the Yanzhou army that was constantly approaching outside the city, and said with a mysterious smile: "Xu Ji's new five virtues have always been said, have you heard of it?" ”

Cao Chun and Xia Houen looked at each other, not understanding why Li Dian would mention the new "Five Virtues Say" and shook his head hesitantly, Li Dian said slowly: "Xu Ji has a unique set of views on the Five Elements Doctrine, but no matter what. It is impossible for Xu Ji to change the foundation of the five elements of mutual reincarnation and mutual restraint, as the old saying goes: 'Gold and water are born together', that is, those who are not conducive to gold must also be detrimental to water, and the armor on the Yanzhou army in front of them can't be dealt with with water. And we are useless either. If it's in the upper reaches of a big river, we can use the method of breaking the levee to see if that's what I guess. ”

Xia Houen frowned, he had always scoffed at the Five Elements Doctrine. Now, of course, I don't want to listen to Li Dian's divine analysis there, so I have to speak. was grabbed by Cao Chun, and when he turned his head to look. But seeing that Cao Chun's eyes were shining, listening to Li Dian's analysis, he couldn't stop nodding, obviously agreeing with Li Diandi's point of view. Li Dian said in a deep voice: "There are only three kinds of 'wood', 'fire' and 'earth' left, and the things on the ground on the Yanzhou army can't be 'fire', nor can it be 'earth', I think it must be 'wood', if it is wood, then there is a way to deal with it." ”

Xia Houen understood what Li Diandi meant, and said excitedly: "I see, no wonder these Yanzhou troops don't use rockets, they are afraid of injuring themselves by mistake, it seems that these Yanzhou troops can be dealt with with fire, so I'll call someone to make fire." The Yanzhou army that burned his mother and made them all become burning men. Cao Chun stopped him and said angrily: "What kind of fire are you making?" Is it a torch? How far can a torch fly away from the city? Can that cause damage to the Yanzhou Army? As long as you reach a certain distance, the divine arm bow behind the Yanzhou army will begin to cover and shoot, where do you have the opportunity to use torches against the Yanzhou army? Wouldn't that be as useless as rolling wood and rocks? ”

Xia Houen was speechless, he obviously did not think of this possibility. couldn't help but smuggle: "Then what do you say?" If that's the case, then isn't General Li Dian the same as not saying it? Li Dian shook his head and said: "General Xiahou, don't be impatient, our loss of high and low advantage does not mean that there is no hope of victory, why don't we think about it differently?" Is it possible to put Yanzhou in the city and then use torches to deal with it?"

Xia Houen and Cao Chun immediately understood, and by doing so, they could effectively avoid the attack of the Divine Arm Bow under the Yanzhou Mixed City. Thinking of this, Xia Houen immediately called: "I'll just say it, there's nothing wrong with preparing torches." ”

This fiery man immediately went to Xia Cheng to prepare the torches.

Cao Chun and Li Dian looked at each other and smiled, it was really not easy to figure out this Xia Houen.

Li Dian looked at Cao Chun and said in a deep voice: "General Cao, although the torch is important, the implementation of this countermeasure mainly depends on you, you must continue to command the soldiers to shoot outside the city, and you must not let the other party see through the intentions of our army." ”

Cao Chun was stunned and said, "But in this case, if the other party uses the Divine Arm Bow, won't we suffer heavy casualties?" Li Dian looked at the posture of those who stood on the city wall and fought bravely to kill the enemy, and sighed lightly: "Those who achieve great things are not informal, if there is no courage for a strong man to break his wrist, we don't want to fight with the Yanzhou army." For the sake of victory, it is worthwhile for us to make these sacrifices, and do not forget. If the city is captured by the Yanzhou army, not only will our army have more casualties, but it will also lead to the overall disadvantage of this march, you must know that once Lingbi City is captured, the ground connection between Pengcheng and Sicheng will be cut off, and our army will lose an important supply line. The consequences are worrying. Cao Chun's heart sank when he heard this, and he immediately frowned and said, "But we can wait for reinforcements to arrive here." Now, after all, we have the advantage. Once the lord's Chang'an strategy is successful, Xu Ji is in a dilemma. There's nothing to fear, we just need to withstand this for a while, and other cities will naturally send reinforcements. And Xu Shu, one of the important strategists of the Yanzhou Army, is here with us, are you afraid that Xu Shu will be disobedient? Li Dian sighed lightly and said, "It's hard for anyone to say anything about the future." Over the years, I have coldly watched the Yanzhou Army and summed up one thing, that is: if something has not happened. You have to prevent the Yanzhou army from turning the clouds and rain. Otherwise, it will end up with hatred. I'm not saying that the lord's plan is not good, I also believe that Xu Ji is in danger this time. But judging from the current situation, we still can't take it lightly, although Lingbi City is a hub connecting Xia Cai, Pengcheng and Sicheng. But at the same time, it is also located in the middle of the three cities, and now, the Yanzhou army in front of you is calmly besieging and attacking the city, don't you think it's strange? That can only show that the Yanzhou army has another backhand, not to mention anything else, Xia Cai must be in trouble, otherwise how could this Yanzhou army be completely worry-free? After a pause, Li Dian was a little worried and said: "Don't forget, the landlord of Xia Cai will be Zhang Ying, the general under General Liu Xuan." Although there are many generals under General Liu Xuan. But there are very few capable people, and if Xia Cai loses, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Cao Chun stood for a while, and then said a little unconfidently: "There should be no problem." After all, General Zhang Ying is not the kind of person who gives in easily. Even if it is not the opponent of the Yanzhou army, it can be supported for a period of time. Li Dian was silent for a while before sighing: "We don't care about this matter." Let's drive away the group of Yanzhou troops in front of us first, and then make another plan. Hmph, if you can defeat them. That would shatter the myth of the invincibility of the Yanzhou army. ”

Cao Chun angrily complied, turned around and walked to the edge of the city, and commanded loudly.

Not long after, the Yanzhou army had already come to the edge of Lingbi City, ready to start climbing the city. Sure enough, as Li Dian expected, at this moment, the Yanzhou army in the rear snatched out the archers and shouted "Hurry——! Under the roar, the Yanzhou army's divine arm bow began to exert its might, and countless carved arrows were shot out by the Yanzhou army using projectile skills, drawing a perfect arc, bringing out a sneering whistling sound in the air, and heading straight for the head of the city.

Cao Chunzao saw the opponent's archers rushing out, knowing that Li Dian was thinking, his confidence greatly increased, and when he saw that the other party began to shoot, he immediately shouted: "Squat down for me!" ”

The well-trained Cao Jun seemed to shudder, and immediately squatted down. Then, an overwhelming array of carved arrows fell from the sky, and the head of Lingbi City screamed.

Although he had already squatted down, the carved arrows that fell from the parabolic slipped were still very lethal to the Cao soldiers.

"The whole army obeys the order, give me a retreat!" Cao Chun yelled.

The soldiers of the Cao army responded one after another, raised their shields on the ground, protected the top of their heads, and began to retreat in an orderly and efficient manner. During this period, the carved arrows of the Yanzhou army continued to shoot at Lingbi City, causing casualties among the Cao soldiers.

Li Dianmu, who had been supervising the battle in the back, was expressionless, as if he had seen a trivial matter. At this time, Xia Houen had already led an army to the city with torches in hand, and the geese lined up, lit torches, and stared at the city, apparently ready.

At this time, the Yanzhou army outside the city had already erected a ladder on the head of the city and began to climb the city wall. Because there was no way to stop them, they went up to the city very quickly, and behind them, the eagle arrows shot with the Divine Arm Bow and projectile skills became more and more powerful, like a downpour, in order to ensure the safety of these soldiers to go up to the city.

When the large force of the Yanzhou army entered the city, Cao Chun had already withdrawn behind the soldiers with torches with archers.

Xia Houen's palms were already full of sweat, licking his lips with his tongue, and during this time, he looked at Li Dian countless times, hoping that Li Dian would give the order to start shooting the Yanzhou army. Li Dian was very unbreathable. In order to achieve the greatest victory, he faced the murderous Yanzhou army and resisted his impulse. Waiting for the best time to come.

After the soldiers of the Yanzhou army reached a certain number in the city, they began to form a battle formation and rushed towards the Cao army, which seemed to be a storm and a huge wave coming from the mountains and seas.

Li Dian was not surprised at all that the Yanzhou army on the opposite side was still fearless of death after seeing the torches in the hands of his army soldiers, because everyone in the world knew that the Yanzhou military order was like a mountain, and after an order was issued, if there was no subordinate order from a superior officer. Then the army must resolutely and thoroughly carry out this order, which is the so-called "going to the soup and going to the fire." No more". That's why. Li Dian dared to let the Yanzhou army go to the city wall.

Seeing that the approaching Yanzhou army came to the right distance, Li Dian roared. The soldiers behind him let out a shout and threw their torches forward as best they could.

The scorching smell of burning fire and the whirring of wind filled the air. One after another red flew towards the Yanzhou army like an elf, and Li Dian and the other two squinted their eyes, and their hearts were even more happy, waiting for the effect they expected.

How do you know that these torches flew behind the neat marching formation of the Yanzhou army. It's like a mud cow entering the sea. The Yanzhou army did not react at all. Those torches touched the rattan armor of the Yanzhou army, and there was not even a spark. "Impossible!" Li Dian yelled in disbelief. Cao Chun and Xia Houen were also shocked and inexplicable, looking at each other. A sense of frustration that Lingbi City was about to be lost began to spread in the hearts of every Cao soldier.

But the situation in front of them no longer allows them to think about it. The Yanzhou army on the opposite side has already come to the front.

You must know that the mobility of Zangba's army is notoriously strong. Li Dian didn't have time to think about it, he drew his weapon and shouted at the soldiers behind him: "Attack the enemy's joints and face." Both places they are equally defenseless! ”

Cao Jun behind him roared and stepped forward in response, like a tiger and wolf, without the slightest hesitation.

Cao Cao trained his army hard, and the results of many years were finally shown at this moment, in the face of the Yanzhou army, they did not have the slightest fear, but were full of fighting spirit and confidence. Only such an army will have room to compete with the Yanzhou army. The two tide-like armies collided in an instant, and instantly, a splash of blood rose at the border of the two armies, and the screams could not be kept coming out.

At this time. The Yanzhou army continued to climb up from the city walls, formed new battle formations, and began to join the attack. The walls on all sides were almost covered by the Yanzhou army.

Li Dian, Cao Chun, and Xia Houen led their generals. As if going crazy, he blocked more and more Yanzhou troops. Xia Houen, the fierce general, waved the Qinghong sword in his hand as round as a wheel. At this time, Cao Jun's well-trained characteristics were fully displayed. Their attacks were accurately timed and strictly followed the orders given to them by Li Dian. They have attacked the joints and faces of the Yanzhou army, and they are constantly changing their offensive methods in order to find effective methods of killing and injuring the enemy, and they are more united in order to limit the mobility of this Yanzhou army.

Li Dian had already put everything aside at this time, drew the silver spear in his hand into a silver line, and continued to stab forward, leaving a silver light in the wind, and the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army who were not afraid of death against the enemy kept making screams of turning over and falling to the ground. At this moment, a long knife came out of the air and draped on Li Dian's silver spear, shocking Li Dian to take a step back, his face flushed.

Li Dian was secretly frightened by the toughness of his opponent, and looked at the owner of the long knife on the other.

I saw a young man with a beard on his face looking at him fiercely, if it weren't for the fact that this person's eyes were very young, and he didn't have the temperament of a battle-hardened general, Li Dian thought that this person was very old, which showed that this person in front of him was a veritable premature pre-aging. The man on the other side was also looking at Li Dian, his eyes were very flexible, and he was definitely not as rough as his appearance.

"Whoever comes is named!" Li Dian said in a deep voice, and at the same time, the silver spear in his hand kept changing his scheduling, hoping to find the other party's flaws.

The young man on the opposite side grinned and said with a smile: "My name is Hao Shao, and I am an unknown person. General Li Dian, please advise. Li Dian was not surprised at all that the other party would call out his name, because the spies of the Yanzhou Army were well-informed in the world, and he just said in a deep voice to Hao Shao, a city defense expert who had nothing to do with Zhuge Liang in history: "Nameless junior, since you know my name, you still dare to make a move with this general, it is really bold and reckless, and you are killing yourself." ”

It was Hao Shao's long knife that answered Li Dian, and Hao Shao said coldly in a sword light: "General Li Dian, the battlefield is not a place to take advantage of words, if you want to say such useless words, it is better for your subordinates to see the truth!" ”

Li Dian already knew how difficult the other party was from the knife just now, how dare he be careless? Hurriedly waved the silver spear in his hand and greeted him. This Hao Zhao is a famous general in history, with strong strength, and in recent years, he has been guided by many famous generals under Xu Ji's account, and his strength is becoming more and more powerful.

After a while, Li Dian fell into the disadvantage, although the defense was clear-sighted, but he was entangled by Hao Shao, and it was difficult to get out, watching more and more Yanzhou troops roar past him. I was really distressed. Hao Shao seemed to have spare strength, and wrote lightly in the battle with Li Dian: "The young general only joined the Yanzhou Army the year before last, and he has been serving under General Gao Shun and has never caught up with the successive battles, so he has no military merits and is difficult to promote.
