Chapter 687: Xuzhou City
A banner hunted in the wind, countless cavalry surged over like a tide, and the Xuzhou soldiers who were stationed on the city wall looked in the direction from which the sound came, and then let out an exclamation.
"Look, what's that?"
"Enemy, enemy attack"
"It's the Guangling cavalry of Yangzhou"
The soldiers of the defenders stationed on the city wall shouted loudly, although they were no strangers to the attack of the Guangling cavalry. However, after this period of competition, the main force suffered a great loss of only 20,000 troops. Morale has long been at rock bottom. If it weren't for the arrival of Qingzhou reinforcements, they would have fled at this time.
"Quick Warning"
"Warning"
The voices came and went, and the soldiers of the defenders rushed in all directions.
Several defender soldiers ran to the tower, and in an instant, the thick bell rang in all corners of the city.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
As the sound fell, there was a denser sound of footsteps. More than 10,000 Xuzhou soldiers and horses quickly assembled at the city gate, forming one phalanx after another, exuding an aura of slaughter.
Tao Qian walked towards the city wall surrounded by all the generals, and before he had time to ask for news, he looked straight ahead.
Seeing the Guangling cavalry that seemed to be like a tide, he couldn't help but gasp, and his whole heart seemed heavy. It seems that Yangzhou's heart of swallowing my Xuzhou is not dead, and it actually wants to launch another onslaught on my Xuzhou City.
"The Lord"
"The Lord"
Zang Ba, Chen Deng, and Lu Zhu hurriedly walked over and bowed to Tao Qian.
Looking at the three henchmen, Tao Qian's heart calmed down a little. But when he looked at the soldiers around him, he sank a little again. I saw that they showed fear one by one, as if they were ready to abandon the city at any time.
"The Guangling cavalry is coming, my Xuzhou City is in danger, I don't know if you have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?"
Tao Qian asked the three henchmen.
Zang Ba and Lu Zhu glanced at each other, and then shook their heads.
Looking at the reactions of the two, Tao Qian's eyes showed a look of despair. Could it be that the sky will die in Xuzhou? Otherwise, why would there be such a desperate situation? When he wanted to hold an army of 60,000, but he didn't want Guangling to lose his soldiers and horses, he lost almost half of his troops. Later, Yangzhou formed cavalry in Guangling, and only a year later, more than 10,000 soldiers were killed here, and the troops in their hands were greatly damaged.
So much so that it became what it is today.
There are only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, how will this great Xuzhou City hold on?
Thinking of this, Tao Qian showed a solemn look and looked out of the city. A demon soldier named Guangling was as imposing as a rainbow, in stark contrast to the defenders under his command. Morale must be boosted, otherwise this big war will not have to be fought.
The thought fell in his mind, Tao Qian subconsciously clenched his hands into fists, and the green tendons burst out one by one.
"Chen Gong, the strategist of the demon clan in Bingzhou, defected from the demon lord and went to Lu Bu's department. So much so that Lu Bu merged the state and occupied the two counties of Shanghe and Xihe. Yuan Jizhou's backyard caught fire and was forced to transfer troops to recapture Xihe County. The pressure on General Gongsun, who was sitting in the eastern part of Jizhou, was greatly reduced, so more than 10,000 white horses were dispatched to help Qingzhou."
"Now Qingzhou has dragged the headquarters of Guo Dapang, the overseas governor of Yangzhou, to Dongcai County, and our army's northern front is worry-free."
"The Chongzhou Demon Clan was dragged in Liang by Yuzhou, and I have no worries on the western front of Xuzhou"
"The rear is stable, and you only need to hold Xuzhou City, although the morale is a little low, but the morale of the Qingzhou Guan General is strong. There are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in Guangling, and they have been damaged after repeated battles, so what are we afraid of? ”
Chen Deng asked Tao Qian.
Tao Qian's lips moved, and he said with a sad face.
"Having said that, how can people not be worried in today's situation?"
"Why should Taozhou Mu be worried?"
A deep sound sounded in my ears, followed by a dense sound of footsteps.
Tao Qian looked in the direction where the voice came from, and a smile appeared on his face. Is it just the Guangling soldiers and horses outside the city that he is worried about? Isn't Qingzhou full of vigilance.
"Regarding the help of generals, my Xuzhou City is naturally fearless"
"Taozhou Mu is relieved for the time being, no matter how many soldiers and horses the Guangling demon soldiers come, there is Wuguan Yunchang to guard this city, which can be impregnable."
Guan Yu replied.
His tone was full of arrogance, as if he was contemptuous of the world's heroes. What Jia Xu used a trick to kill more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, what demon emperor swept Yangzhou, and what demon dragon Guo Da Fat crisscrossed overseas. That's all because the people I met were all bandits and water couges, and if you want to win against Guan Yunchang, it's no less than a fool's dream.
Let you plan and calculate, and the foundation is as rich as a rock. But in front of the blade in my hand is nothing more than a tiger drawn on paper, which can be cut in two with a single stroke.
"In that case, there is General Lao Guan"
"It's a Matter of Duty"
Guan Yu replied to Tao Qian.
Looking ahead, his eyes gradually narrowed, and a faint killing intent spread in the castle tower.
"There are no more than 10,000 Guangling cavalry vanguards, Taozhou Mu sits for a while, and he will go to meet the fierce generals under the command of the Demon Emperor for a while."
"This?"
Tao Qian hesitated slightly.
It is undeniable that Guan Yu's courage is breathtaking, but this person is too arrogant. There was not one person on the opposite side, but more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, plus tens of thousands of troops in the rear. In the face of the enemy's strong situation, it is too late to retreat to the city, so why do you rush to pounce.
It's just that Guan Yu, as the second brother of the human emperor Liu Bei, is not under his control. And strictly speaking, the preservation of Xuzhou City still depends on this person. Therefore if you can not offend, try not to offend.
"Does Taozhou Mu have objections?"
"Nope"
Tao Qian replied to Guan Yu.
Feeling that something was wrong, I put on a smiling face.
"General Guan Shenyong, these demon soldiers are definitely not opponents, and they go with peace of mind, and General Benzhou personally ordered to cheer for the general"
"Taozhou Mu Meiyi, Guan is grateful"
Guan Yu said loudly.
Then he looked at a general beside him.
"Zhou Cang"
"In"
"In this battle, 3,000 troops would have been sent out of the city to meet the battle, and you would have commanded 17,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the city at any time."
"No"
Zhou Cang yelled at Guan Yu.
Then he took a step forward and walked quickly downstairs of the castle.
Looking at the departing back, he bowed to Tao Qian, and then strode over.
Seeing Guan Yu and the others walking away, Zang Ba showed an indignant look, lowered his voice and said almost word for word to Tao Qian.
"This generation is too arrogant, there are more than 20,000 demon soldiers outside the city. Dare to rush and kill the Guangling cavalry with only a thousand horsemen, it is really arrogant"
"On the contrary, I think General Guan is a man of temperament"
Lu Zhu said thoughtfully.
Tao Qian suddenly became alert, and his eyes were fixed on Lu Zhu. Then he thought of something and suddenly let out a chuckle.
"What a man of temperament"
"What Moose Don't Drive said is three points into the wood, let's see how this Guan Yunchang retreats the Guangling demon soldiers, I hope this person can do what he says"
A meaningful voice rang in my ears. Tao Qian's gaze did not leave Lu Zhu's body from beginning to end. Obviously, what he said just now made him think of something.
