Tao Qian would not be stupid enough to lead the soldiers out of the city to fight with Cao's army in the field, and ordered the soldiers to stick to the city, and Xuzhou was full of grain and grass, as long as the city was defended.

After Cao Bao returned to Pengcheng, he hurriedly climbed the city wall and organized soldiers to shoot the Cao soldiers.

Cao soldiers did not fight back, only to see a soldier throw the cloth bag behind the moat, hurriedly turned around and retreated, to provide space for the soldiers behind him, bags of dirt and dust were thrown into the moat, stirring up waves, moving soldiers naturally became the Xuzhou army training archery live target, whenever there is a Xuzhou army to shoot a Cao army soldier, always excited for a long time, in order to hold the city, Tao Qian also increased the bargaining chips, but where to kill a Cao army soldier, reward 100 dollars, greatly stimulated the morale of the soldiers.

After a day's work, the moat really made the Cao army fill a small section, but the Cao army also paid the price of more than a thousand soldiers, such casualties were not encountered before Pengcheng, Cao Cao wanted to learn from the Xiliang army to send cavalry to assist in the siege, but there were very few people in the cavalry of the Cao army who were superb in archery, not to mention that there were such powerful weapons as bed crossbows in the city, and the loss of cavalry was not far away Cao Cao saw, so he could only strengthen the equipment of the soldiers and fill the moat as soon as possible.

According to this progress, in just half a month, the moat will be completely filled, and the Xuzhou army will start to play offensive and defensive with the Cao army.

Ten days later, Liu Bei led 5,000 men and horses to Pengcheng to help in the battle, and Tao Qian personally went out of the city to greet him.

Liu Bei arched his hand and said: "In times of trouble, I was helped by Lord Tao, and now Xuzhou has suffered from military disasters, so I am prepared to come from now to assist my lord to defend the city, so that Cao's army cannot advance an inch." ”

"Xuande is really a benevolent and righteous person, hating that Cao Cao, indiscriminately, he actually led the army to invade Xuzhou, and the people in the county along the way were all killed, and now he is filling the moat outside the city, but in a few days, it can be filled, and I hope Xuande will help me defend the city." Tao Qian said.

Guan Yu, who was behind Liu Bei, said coldly: "Cao Thief led the army to attack Yuzhou in the past, ignoring the people, because of family affairs, how can he talk about the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty and the people who bully the king." ”

"Big brother, let me Lao Zhang lead the men and horses out of the city to kill for a while and destroy the morale of the Cao army." Zhang Fei shouted.

Liu Bei looked back and scolded: "Don't be rude." ”

"Master Tao, this is the second brother and the third brother of the humble position, the generals in the army have no rules, don't blame me." Liu Bei looked slightly apologetic.

Tao Qian looked at Zhang Fei and Guan Yu and said, "What a fierce general!" There is such a fierce general in the city, why worry that Cao's army will not be broken! ”

Received Tao Qian's appreciation, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's faces also showed joy, the status of martial artists has always been inferior to civil officials, not to mention Tao Qian, a well-known state pastor, to be able to get his appreciation, is a great honor for military generals.

Liu Bei hurried to the city wall under the leadership of Cao Bao, looking at the dense Cao army outside the city, the resentment in his eyes flashed, if it were not for Cao Jun, he Liu Bei is still the Yuzhou Mu of the Han Dynasty, how could he be subservient to the people, stationed in Xiapi, Liu Bei is also training soldiers and horses all day long, hoping to one day be able to take revenge.

"Second brother and third brother, order all the soldiers and horses, and when I go out, I will meet Cao Mengde." Liu Bei said.

The city gate was wide open, and the first general, holding a double-strand sword, shouted at the Cao army camp: "Please answer Cao Mengde in front of the formation, I am Liu Bei." ”

But in a moment, Cao Cao got the matter of Liu Bei calling for a battle outside the camp, the camp gate was wide open, the flag was displayed, and Cao Cao personally led the army out of the battle.

"Xuande, don't come to harm!" Cao Cao arched his hand.

"Shameless puppet, disregarding the royal family, offending my Yuzhou that day, and now slaughtering the people of Xuzhou without authorization." Speaking of this, Liu Bei's eyes were red, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly involuntarily.

Cao Cao said proudly: "This general respects you as the former Yuzhou pastor, this is the kind of words, I didn't expect you to speak disrespectfully, this general attacked Yuzhou, but was ordered by the Son of Heaven, Yuzhou has a yellow turban raging, the people have suffered for a long time, is there anything wrong with this general being ordered to go on the expedition?" ”

Liu Bei said that he was a member of the royal family, but Cao Cao had the Son of Heaven in his hands, "In this case, why did the army come to Xuzhou this time and slaughter innocent people without authorization." ”

"Tao Qian killed my family, don't take revenge, swear not to be a person, if Xuande is willing to serve our army, he will definitely recommend you as Xuzhou Mu in front of the Son of Heaven, how?"

Without waiting for Liu Bei to answer, a general flashed behind him, and the voice was like thunder, "Cao thief, suffer death!" ”

With a wave of the spear, he slapped his horse and came to Cao Cao alone.

Cao Cao was surprised in his heart, but there was no fear on his face, Liu Bei had a general in the army to help, how could Cao Jun be weaker than others, and a general flashed behind him, it was the fierce general Xiahou Dun, who raised his sword to face Zhang Fei.

A knife and a spear, the sound of steel strikes is endless, Xiahoudun is strong, Zhang Fei is even better, the snake spear in his hand is like a spiritual snake out of a hole, and Xiahoudun is staggered left and right, embarrassed to resist.

Twenty, Zhang Fei roared, the snake spear took Xiahoudun's head, Xiahoudun was shocked, and hurriedly withdrew his knife to help, who expected that at this time, the snake spear suddenly changed its route, stabbed Xiahoudun under the war horse, couldn't dodge, the war horse was stabbed by a spear, the war horse was ferocious, Xiahoudun was thrown off the horse in embarrassment.

Zhang Fei raised the snake spear and stabbed at Xiahoudun's neck, if this blow was implemented, even the gods would be difficult to treat.

"Thief, stop!" A loud shout rang out behind him.

With a "clang", a long knife resisted the snake spear, but it was Xiahou Dun who saw that the situation was critical, slapped his horse and killed, and took Zhang Fei to fight.

Zhang Fei shook his spirits, and fought Xiahou Dun again, the soldiers on both sides had already been stunned, Xiahou Dun had defeated Cao Bao Sun Guan in front of the two armies before, and made a great reputation, but he didn't expect to be defeated in the hands of this man who was as black as charcoal and kept shouting, it seemed that this black-faced man had not yet exerted all his strength, and this would fight with another general of Cao Jun.

The two of them fought together with two horses, after all, Zhang Feiyi was superior, and Xiahou Dun only had the ability to parry, but no power to counterattack, the snake spear seemed to be endowed with spirituality in Zhang Fei's hands, flashing left and right, and Xiahou Dun's moves were overlooked.

Cao Cao sighed: "Zhang Fei is really a fierce general, in the past, he fought against Lu Bu in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, and shocked the princes, and now see you again." ”

These words angered a general in the left rear, raised the double halberd, took over Xiahou Dun, and killed Zhang Fei, it was Cao Cao who guarded Dian Wei, with infinite strength, able to tear the tiger and leopard alive, and the double halberd was even more perfect, and there were few opponents in Cao's army.

Zhang Fei saw that Cao Jun had killed another general, and instead of retreating, he shook the snake spear and stabbed the right hand of the general holding the halberd.

The twin halberds moved slightly, the snake spear was knocked open, and the two horses staggered, slashing straight at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was shocked and hurriedly dodged, but he didn't expect that the strength of this Cao army general was so great, and his spear power could not be underestimated even though he had been fighting for a long time.

"Will you be able to get a name?" Zhang Fei shouted loudly.

"Wu Na black general, I heard clearly, a certain family is Dian Wei!" After speaking, shoot the horse and kill.

Zhang Fei's black face became even darker, 'Black General', raised the snake spear, and faced Dian Wei.

Dian Wei's double halberd is exquisite, Zhang Fei's spear technique is exquisite, the two of them fight, only to see people coming and going in the field, the halberd light spear shadow, very exciting.

Cao Bao in the city couldn't close his mouth in surprise, compared with Dian Wei, Xiahou Dun, who had fought with him before, was not a grade at all, but Liu Bei's subordinate Zhang Fei was even more brave, fighting three generals in a row, but the more he fought, the more brave he became, it seems that he still underestimated this kind face before, and Liu Xuande who was smiling and chanting when he saw everyone.

Fifty years later, Zhang Fei stared at Dian Wei breathlessly.

After eighty rounds, Zhang Fei immediately held a spear and shouted: "Happy! After saying that, he rushed back to his own position, but he was exhausted.

Guan Yu saw Zhang Fei turn around, and gently kicked the horse's belly with both legs, and the war horse was like an arrow from the string, killing towards Dian Wei in the field, since Cao Jun disregarded the shame and the three of them took turns to fight Zhang Fei, Guan Yu had no scruples.

Dian Wei saw the generals clearly, Danfeng's eyes were lying on the silkworm eyebrows, his face was like a heavy jujube, and between the galloping horses, it seemed to be one with the war horse, and the long knife in his hand was shining, which made people feel frightened, and among the generals, few people could use such a heavy weapon.

"Dian Wei suffers death!" The sword flashed, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife was like a thousand jun, slashing towards Dian Wei, and people borrowed the horse's momentum, this knife was more than a thousand jun.

Dian Wei was shocked, and hurriedly raised his halberds to greet him, and the 'Oh Oooo' man and the war horse took three steps back one after another, their faces were red, and the war horse under them was also a manic neigh.

Seeing Dian Wei take the next knife, the long knife in Guan Yu's hand swung up again and slashed towards Dian Wei, and the momentum was even more powerful than the first knife.

The anger in Dian Wei's chest was completely aroused, and he roared, and the twin halberds met him.

"Poof", the war horse under Dian Wei couldn't bear the repeated battles, knelt on the ground, looked at the oncoming sword light, the long halberd in Dian Wei's hand shook, and a small halberd headed towards Guan Yu.

Guan Yu didn't expect Dian Wei to have such means, and hurriedly withdrew the big knife, "Keng", the back of the knife accurately blocked the small halberd, Dian Wei took this opportunity to shoot the horse and rush back to the main formation.

"Shameless puppeteer, he will only use such methods!" Guan Yu said proudly, but his slightly narrowed eyes were also round, Dian Wei's martial arts were obviously not under him, if he hadn't fought with Zhang Fei, the outcome would not have been known.

Cao Cao saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei appear one after another, his eyes were burning, these two people have the courage of ten thousand people, put them in the Cao army, and they are also the top generals, with the help of such generals, Cao Cao seems to have seen the scene of a general galloping on a horse, and taking the head of the general among the ten thousand troops.

Guan Yu proudly patted his horse and rushed back to his own formation.

The battle outside the city, so that the morale of the Xuzhou army soared, there are this brave generals in the city to help, why worry that the Cao army can not retreat, Zhang Fei Guan Yu let the defenders yearn for it, the big husband fought on the battlefield, who does not want to get ahead, achieve a fame, and among the generals, those with superb martial arts are the easiest to get the support of the soldiers, otherwise Zhang Fei is so short-tempered, and the soldiers will not give up.

The moat of Pengcheng took Cao Jun another ten days to completely fill it up.
