Chapter 522: Attacking Liu Bei
At the end of April, Lü Bu's army fought straight towards Bingzhou, but Cao Cao resisted with superior forces, and the two armies launched an unprecedented battle.
In this battle, Cao Cao laid a large number of traps, making it difficult for Lu Bu's army to advance, and once fell into a state of stagnation, for this reason, Li Yi decided to find a breakthrough from Si Li, to defeat Si Li's Liu Bei head-on, as long as Si Li was taken, Liangzhou would fall into a state of being attacked on both sides, so that Cao Cao would not have any chance of winning.
In order to achieve this goal, Li Yi ordered Lü Bu to drag Cao Cao, and asked Huang Zhong to be careful of Sun Quan's attack, and then launched an attack on Liu Bei with Zhao Yun and others.
Pingyin City, located in Hedong County, Sili, is the place of Liu Bei's command, and it is also the first line of defense against Li Yi, in his opinion, every city is the best obstacle to resist Li Yi's advance, under his arrangement, countless armies will occupy most of the cities of Sili, turning them into military cities, as for the residents, they can live in the city with peace of mind.
Anyway, Si Li is not his, he can do what he wants, Cao Cao can't say anything, and even under the fear of the residents, he tried his best to induce him to flee into Yizhou, so that his potential will be greatly increased, this is an accessory to help Cao Cao resist Li Yi, neither Cao Cao nor Sun Quan will say anything.
On Pingyin City, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei anxiously began to mobilize troops, because Li Yi's army was just around the corner, and when he received this news, Xu Shu informed Liu Bei to be careful of Li Yi's attack, but Liu Bei didn't care, and when Li Yi came, he was panicked.
Seeing this, the military advisors Xu Shu and Pang Tong were speechless, it seems that the lord has not yet come out of the matter of Cao Cao's hijacking of the Son of Heaven, which is very harmful to the union of the three kings.
Once the Son of Heaven exists, it is also a great disadvantage for the three kings, once the three kings take that step, the Son of Heaven will inevitably disappear, otherwise why are their subordinates fighting so far, in order not to seek status for future generations, in order to make their names write a heavy stroke in history, and the last point is to show their talents.
In troubled times, only war can show a person's greatest ability.
"Lord, two generals, don't be impatient, the enemy will not arrive in a few hours, and this is only the first line of defense of Si Li, the purpose of its existence is to judge the attack power of Youzhou, even if it is taken, it is nothing." Xu Shu explained again.
But Liu Bei is not in the state now, and he didn't come back after all.
Fortunately, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not change in the slightest, but the belligerence of the generals made them disagree with Xu Shu's words.
"Mr. Yuanzhi, why do you think you are thinking that our army will be defeated!" Guan Yu asked unhappily.
Not only Guan Yu, but Zhang Fei also glared at Xu Shu angrily, although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, but in fact, they were indeed inferior to Youzhou, and it was exactly like this, he was very reluctant to hear such words.
Listening to Guan Yu's words and Zhang Fei's angry gaze, Xu Shu knew that he was wrong and should not have said such a thing at this time, it seemed that Liu Bei's strangeness affected him and made him lose his judgment.
"Two generals, I didn't mean that, I was wrong." Xu Shu decisively admitted his mistake to prevent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei from continuing to entangle.
At present, the most important thing is to organize a large army, prepare to meet Li Yi's attack, and test Li Yi's combat effectiveness, see how strong his combat effectiveness is when he is divided into three ways, and calculate how to defeat him based on this.
"Hmph, that's pretty much it, haha." When Zhang Fei heard this, he laughed, his loud voice shook the house violently, and the dust fell from the roof, making everyone in the house covered in lime.
Seeing such a scene, Zhang Fei's face turned red, and he felt ashamed of the mistakes he had made.
Zhang Fei's loud noise made Liu Bei, who had been silent, look at Zhang Fei, looking at the red-faced Zhang Fei, as if he had found something, and his eyes gradually became sharper.
even yelled "Ah......"
Liu Bei yelled, but frightened the others, and hurriedly looked at Liu Bei, hoping to see something, and he must not let Liu Bei have anything.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you?" After Liu Bei stopped shouting, Guan Yu asked nervously.
The others also looked at Liu Bei with a serious face, feeling everyone's eyes, and thinking about their performance in this short period of time, Liu Bei laughed out loud.
Liu Bei's laughter made everyone even more puzzled, one would shout, and the other would laugh out loud, what happened to Liu Bei?
"I'm fine, but I finally figured it out and I'm back." After Liu Bei finished speaking, he began to give orders.
……
A few hours later, the sky gradually darkened, and the night was coming, which made the people of Pingyin City very afraid, and the timid had already followed Liu Bei's advice and went to Yizhou for refuge.
However, the three kings instilled the dark rule of Youzhou in the people, so that many residents misunderstood Youzhou, misunderstood Li Yi, and thought that if they went to Youzhou, they would be deprived of everything, which made them very resistant, and all except for a very few people who would flee to Youzhou, the rest of the people fled to the south.
The city gate was closed at this moment, and it was very difficult to enter and get out, because Li Yi's army had already reached a close place, and it was very dangerous to open the city gate again.
"Boom. Boom. Knock ......"
"Whew. Woo. Woo......"
Suddenly, a strange sound sounded, at first it was very small, but as time went on, it grew louder and louder, and the ground began to shake slowly, which made the soldiers patrolling the city walls nervous.
Having been on the battlefield, they knew that the sound was the sound of the enemy's drums and trumpets, and the vibration was the feeling of a large cavalry running to the earth.
This sound and feeling they will never forget for the rest of their lives.
"Enemy attack......" The piercing roar spread far away to let others know that the enemy was coming.
Countless defensive equipment began to operate, bundles of arrows were piled up in preparation for the archers' shots, and fire oil boulders were placed along the walls of the city at all times, waiting to be used by their masters.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard the information from the city wall, hurried to this city wall, poked their heads out of the city, and felt the unique horn and drum sound of Youzhou, they knew that this was Li Yi coming.
"It's a day in person!" For a long time, Guan Yu said this.
During that time in Youzhou, the three brothers had an understanding of many things in Youzhou, among which the war drums were the deepest, and the main means of training soldiers was to train them to listen to the sound of drums and horns, because this was the most widely distributed method of giving orders on the battlefield, and it was also the simplest and most economical method.
Hearing the war drums of Youzhou again today, they were very nervous, not knowing if they could block Li Yi's attack.
"Big brother, the enemy is coming!" Suddenly, a loud roar sounded, and Zhang Fei pointed to the black shadow that appeared on the horizon in the distance.
Zhang Fei's voice made Guan Yu squint his eyes, looking into the distance, he also found traces of the enemy, which was on the horizon with the help of the glimmer of the sunset, the light reflected by the armor, at this time, there is only one class with this ability.
"It's Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong." Guan Yu's eyes widened, and his fighting spirit began to rise, he wanted to see if Zhao Yun was stronger or he was stronger.
"Prepare the shield to defend against enemy attacks."
"Quick, the arrows are on the bow, and you are ready to meet the enemy."
The lieutenant general on the side roared loudly, conveying the order that had been prepared long ago, not only on this wall, but also on the other three sides, because he did not know the situation of the enemy outside the city, and this was necessary to ensure that nothing went wrong.
As the order was given, the sound of war drums and horns, and the sound of horses' hooves were clear in the ears, and Zhao Yun's white dragoons arrived.
"Boom ......" The horse's hooves slammed on the ground violently, making a sound like thunder, which made the soldiers of the city wall worried, not knowing whether the city wall could stop the cavalry onslaught.
Only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very confident, even if Zhao Yun's cavalry wanted to destroy the reinforced city wall, it was unlikely.
"Well, the people in the city are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, can they dare to answer with my city." Zhao Yun took the lead and came to the city gate, the bright silver spear pointed at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the city wall, and the army behind him was at least ten miles away from him, which fully demonstrated Zhao Yun's self-confidence.
Confident that the enemy will not be able to defeat him at once, confident that he can treat the enemy army as nothing.
Zhao Yun's provocation made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei not angry, without saying a word, he took out his weapon and jumped off the city wall and killed Zhao Yun.
When Zhao Yun is alone, he will meet him and see how strong he is.
If it is possible, directly kill Zhao Yun and destroy Li Yi's prestige, although this is almost very small, but they are still on it.
"Second brother and third brother be careful." The moment they jumped off the city wall, Liu Bei's voice sounded, and he also arrived on the city wall.
Not only him, but Xu Shu Pang Tong also arrived, in order to prevent accidents, several people watched the battle of the three of them attentively, as long as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not good at all, and decisively used their skills, they didn't care what kind of general's spirit, being able to defeat the enemy was everything.
Under the city, Zhao Yun and the three of them fought fiercely together, and the three of them did not use their mounts, but fought on foot, Zhao Yun would not bully them, because they did not have very good mounts, and compared with Zhao Yun's white dragon horse, they were not comparable at all.
At the moment of the fierce battle, the warm-up of the three of them ended, and they all got the information they wanted, that is, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were alone, and they were not Zhao Yun's opponents at all, but the two of them were still able to compete with Zhao Yun together.
Wanting this, the two glanced at each other, saw confidence in each other's eyes, and were ready to go all out.
Feeling the momentum of the two, Zhao Yun showed a smiling face under his helmet, and pointed the silver gun in his hand at the sky, making a move that surprised the two.
Zhao Yun's actions made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei confused, thinking that Zhao Yun was going to use his nirvana skills to secretly defend himself, and the people on the city wall were also nervously waiting for Zhao Yun to attack, but what they didn't expect was that Zhao Yun fled directly.
summoned the white dragon horse and fled like a fly, and the afterimage lasted for a long time before dissipating.
"What's going on?" Zhang Fei muttered.
"No, let's go." Guan Yu only realized at this time that something was wrong, in the distance at Zhao Yun's cavalry, countless cavalry were making a throwing action, throwing the spears in their hands at the two of them, no, it should be the city wall behind them, plus the defensive equipment on the city wall.
After a while, the rain of guns began to fall, and the spears made of stainless steel had amazing destructive power, completely destroying the defenses on this city wall, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing this, Li Yi in the army waved his hand and gave the order to attack.
"The battle was won." This is another sentence that Li Yi said.
