Chapter Ninety-Seven: Thunder

At noon the next day, after Zhang Liao learned the news that Xuzhou was on fire, was attacked by chaos, and was about to be lost, he found that the Huainan military camp near Xiaopei was empty.

After concluding that Ji Ling was concentrating the main force to conquer Xuzhou and that there might be civil strife in Pengcheng, Zhang Liao took up Xiaopei's troops and galloped all the way to help.

Among Xiao Pei, there were only a few thousand defenders, and Gao Shun's 800 trap camp was defended.

Halfway through, I encountered a fast horse newspaper from Pengcheng, saying that the fire in Xuzhou was just a feint, and Ji Ling's target was still Xiao Pei!

However...... At this time, it was getting late, and it was dark and windy, and it was too late for Zhang Liao to go back, so he had to return with 3,000 cavalry first, and the other foot soldiers hurried slowly.

That night, Ji Ling's main force really appeared outside Xiao Pei, and Wei Xu, who was in charge of the south gate in the defenders, raised the fire with Ji Ling, opened the city gate and directly welcomed Ji Ling's army in.

Even if they are trapped, they will not be able to defend the city in this situation, and they can only flee from the east gate......

Gao Shun first commanded the manpower, standing firmly at the east gate that was still under control as the back road, and then took the soldiers trapped in the camp to pick up the families of Lu Bu and other generals in the urn city.

The army can't normally enter the city, but it refers to the inner city, in the world of the city Ji, even small cities have built a large area of urn city, and the army that takes turns to rest when defending the city is stationed in the urn city, and street battles also take place in the urn city.

When there is no military pressure, the city can also be opened as a market, but the land in the city will not be sold, it is only leased, and no one lives in it.

When he was about to rush back to the east gate, Song Xian led people to cross the road and said: "Gao Shun, Hao Meng!" Lu Bu is self-serving, brave and unscrupulous, unkind, and short-sighted...... It's too late to surrender! ”

Gao Shun grinned when he heard this, muttered with a strange face, and Hao Meng on the side shouted loudly: "The person who betrays the master, dare to make noise here!" ”

"Hmph, stubborn, leave Lu Bu's family behind, and let you leave...... Tyre! How dare you sneak attack? Song Xian was halfway through speaking, and Gao Shun had already rushed up.

Gao Shun's armor is very similar to Jiang Qin, the style is "unpretentious", and the color is darker, and the special thing is ...... The bonus to combat power is weaker than that of the same armor, but at the same time, it is longer than the commander Ji Zao's soldiers!

Lu Bu can accurately command a hundred horsemen without relying on grassroots generals, while Gao Shun's normal upper limit is three hundred, and if it is a trap camp trained by his own hands, he can command eight hundred.

There are no mistakes, there is no collapse of morale, there is not even "morale" at all, and the strength is completely constant 800 traps!

Therefore, it can often be seen that in Gao Shun's trap barracks, there is no sound of crows, only the sound of a Jizao soldier walking by when he is patrolling......

Ordinary people will feel depressed just by being in it.

After an accident when he was a teenager, Gao Shun became taciturn, and he has always been a maverick in the army, coupled with the particularity of the camp, most of the other generals respected him.

Hao Meng, who looks a little thin and always smiles like squinting eyes, although sometimes people don't know what he's thinking, but the smiling appearance looks the opposite of Gao Shun's personality, but he gets along well with Gao Shun.

It's just that Gao Shun's battle armor, even if it is not good at martial arts, is not comparable to Song Xian.

Within a few rounds of the fight, the two heard Song Xian screaming: "Ah! I'm dead! ”

Then there was no sound, and his own soldiers were also trapped in the camp and withdrew from the east gate......

After Ji Ling entered the city, he had already received news that Song Xian, one of the three internal directors and responsible for capturing Lu Bu's family, had been killed by Gao Shun, and Gao Shun had already evacuated from the east gate.

Ji Ling deeply regretted this, and originally thought that he could capture the "treasure" that clamped down Jiangdong for the lord while taking Xiaopei, and secretly scolded these two or five boys in his heart.

However, on the surface, Ji Ling looked very sorry for Song Xian's death, appeased Wei Xu and Hou Cheng, and once again reaffirmed the promise of his own master guild to seal the two as the marquis of Guannei, which made Wei Xu and Hou Cheng also feel at ease.

When he was in Pengcheng before, Ji Ling only made a feint, which was also discussed with the Xu family and other families in advance.

After all, Pengcheng City has deep walls and many defenders, and those warriors have limited influence in the army, even if they create some chaos in the city, they may not be able to take the entire Pengcheng before Xiao Pei rescues them, just to lay down a city gate, once Xiao Pei's army arrives, even if it has entered the stage of street fighting in Wengcheng, it can only retreat.

So Ji Ling's goal at the beginning was this Xiaopei!

Therefore, Xu Tong and others came to Xiaopei before and secretly plotted against Wei Xu......

Although Xiao Pei is only a small city, and there is not much population and grain storage, as long as Xiao Pei is held by Ji Ling, not only will the army have a place to repair, but also the grain route will be smoother, and even through Xiao Peiji, he can directly receive grain and grass from Huainan - but the consumption is greater than normal transportation.

At this time, in addition to the city wall, Pengcheng, which did not have any geographical advantages, could not be held for a long time after Xiaopei was captured, and in a strategic sense, there was little difference between Xiaopei and Pengcheng.

At the same time that Ji Ling captured Xiaopei overnight and introduced the army into it to rest and station, in the north of Xiaopei, in front of the weir canal on the side of Weishan Lake facing Xiaopei, Guan Yu arrived with 3,000 foot soldiers two days ago, and worked hard for two days!

Weishan Lake is one of the best lakes in the Central Plains, and the terrain is very high, the highest place is 100 meters above sea level, the water storage is very large, it is a long and narrow lake water system from the northwest to the southeast, Xiaopei is in its southwest, the terrain as a whole is dozens of meters lower than Weishan Lake.

The result of two days of 3,000 troops was to dig up this Weishan Lake a little......

At this time, Weishan Lake has been to the south, and there is a trickle of water, but there are still a large number of soil and rocks blocking the upstream position, so it has not collapsed.

And Guan Yu had already asked ordinary soldiers to wait along the section with a higher ground and a solid foundation, and they were hanging alone in front of this last barrier.

I saw that Guan Yu's battle armor was an emerald green, with a faint dragon pattern attached to it!

In his hand is the famous Qinglong Yanyue Knife, at the junction of the blade and the long handle, there is a faint roar of the dragon's head, and ...... If you compare carefully, you can find that the part of this blade is the short-handled broadsword that Guan Yu usually holds!

As Guan Yu's arm shook slightly, the dragon shadow on the Green Dragon Glaive became more and more condensed, and even the sound of a dragon groan could be heard.

With Guan Yu wielding the Glaive Knife, he slashed at the dam in front of him, and the emerald green brilliance of dozens of meters on the knife body burst out, and the last dam was shaken with one blow, and then it was reversed, and in the huge collision sound, the water discharged from Weishan Lake became more and more considerable......

Finally, he raised his head high, and split vertically from top to bottom, only to see a green dragon phantom gushing out, hitting the top of the dam, and suddenly a loud noise came out, followed by a steady stream of gushing sounds, and I saw the lake water rushing towards the low place like a dragon.

And Guan Yu's face was also slightly red at this time, and he fell to the place where the soldiers in the army were.

Guan Yu's battle armor also has a special feature, where it can be combined with the essence of the Qinglong Glaive Knife in peacetime, accumulate strength in it, and when using the battle armor to excite, you can choose three swords to burst out, or you can choose thirty blessings.

The former is like this, and the power blessing is far more than ordinary gold and jade, I am afraid that Lu Bu's eyes will light up when he sees it, but it is not easy to control, and it will cause physical overdraft after three swords......

It was also with this last knife that there seemed to be a green dragon phantom in the dark clouds also flickered, and in the gloomy sky, thunder sounded at the right time, and a rain at the end of the end of the summer flood season finally came as promised!
