Chapter 64: Fighting Cao Ren, Familiar with Each Other
Seeing this, Guan Yu was not far behind, and came out of the line to salute: "I'll go!" ”
Zhao Yun also looked at Xu Shu with hopeful eyes.
Xu Shu glanced at the three of them, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said slowly: "Zilong, I heard that you have an iron gall, a seven-foot spear, and you are like watching fish and flowers in and out of the army, so how about you please work hard?" ”
After Zhao Yun received the order, he leaned over and clenched his fists, and responded excitedly: "Yes!" I'm going to prepare! ”
"Xu Shu, are you deliberately angry with Zhang Yide? I Zhang Yide has slapped your face, but you can't do this! Zhang Fei was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
"I'll go with you!" When Xiang Xia saw Zhang Fei's appearance, he felt so funny. Then catch up with Zhao Yun's pace and follow forward.
Zhao Yun stopped, turned around and said, "The military advisor said that only one general is needed, you are so powerful, how can you be regarded as a general." Stay in the army and wait for my good news! With that, he patted Summer's shoulder and smiled.
At the right time, Xu Shuzheng also spoke: "Yide, Yun Chang, you will follow the lord, and after Zilong breaks the formation, you will raise troops to break the Cao army." In the summer, you stay, and watch with me how its formation is broken. ”
"Yes...", the military advisor had already given the order, and Xiang Xia had to respond.
"Haha, little summer, you have to see how my brother and I beat that Cao Jun to the ground..."Zhang Fei smiled proudly.
Xiang Xia grimaced back to show his displeasure. It's very troublesome, everyone who dares to love has gone to battle, and she and the military advisor are left to stay in the city.
"Before I went out of the mountain, Shui Jing specially asked me to remind you well. In the future, there will be many opportunities to practice kung fu, but there will be very few opportunities to observe the formation. Xu Shu said earnestly.
"Yes, I see." Xiang Xia nodded solemnly and said in response.
Afterwards, the two climbed the tower and watched the battle.
I saw Zhao Yun driving the night light, chic and magnificent, leading all the soldiers to move forward and enter Cao Ren's Eight Golden Lock Array. Cao Ren stood on the platform, waving the flag in his hand, and commanded. In an instant, arrows shot at Zhao Yun and the soldiers. Zhao Yun dodged the sharp arrows one by one, dragged the reins of the horse, flew one by one, and stepped into the Cao army's position. Cao Jun hurriedly raised his shield to block Yezhao's stampede. Zhao Yun raised the shield of an enemy soldier into the sky, swung his spear again, stabbed the enemy directly, and then exerted his strength, knocking down a piece.
Cao Jun leaned down again, trying in vain to trip the horse with his sword, and Yezhao made another spiritual leap over Cao Jun's head. Zhao Yun reflexively swung his gun, and Cao Jun fell to the ground in large numbers.
"Changshan Zhao Zilong, worthy of his name." Xu Shu couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.
"That's... Hey. Xiang Xia proudly hooked the corners of his mouth, as if he was praising himself, or rather, he was happier and prouder than praising himself.
"Kill!" Zhao Yun shouted fiercely, and all the soldiers then attacked deeper into the enemy's army. Because Zhao Yun had cleared the obstacles in front of him, all the soldiers rushed in and raised their halberds to face the battle, which was quite morale.
"Hold it for me, hold it for me, don't panic!" Cao Ren roared on the stage.
For a while, attention to summer was attracted. Xiang Xia carefully observed Cao Ren, and for some reason, she felt that Cao Ren was a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere. In the last battle of Xuzhou, although she could not fully recognize its appearance, she also found out after the war. Did she really see him? If so, where would it be?
The next moment, Zhao Yun picked up an enemy army's broadsword, and then took the broadsword in the direction of Cao Ren. The big knife quickly slashed through the air, pulling Cao Ren's arm with a big mouth. Cao Ren's injury made Cao Jun's morale even more sluggish. The formation was completely panicked and scattered, and Cao's army was already like a plate of scattered sand, and it was vulnerable again. The soldiers who accompanied him hurriedly helped Cao Ren off the platform and bandaged it indiscriminately to stop the bleeding.
Subsequently, the city gates were opened, and Liu Guanzhang and the three of them each led thousands of horsemen to launch a fierce attack on Cao's army. In this battle, 2,000 iron cavalry of Cao's army were annihilated, and the main general Cao Ren was wounded and retreated.
At night, in the court, the battle was won, and everyone was talking happily. Only Xu Shu stood outside the court, watching the stars, pinching his fingers and calculating something.
"Then Cao Jun is just like this, the quilt Zilong rushed like this, and it became a crooked melon and a rotten date. Haha, happy, happy! Zhang Fei grinned.
"Yes, yes," the generals agreed.
Liu Bei was overjoyed in his heart, but seeing that Xu Shu didn't say a word, he approached Xu Shu and asked, "Strategist, although Cao Ren has folded for a while, he has not been defeated, what should we do next?" ”
Liu Bei asked, and all the soldiers remained silent, moved their eyes to the two of them, and listened carefully.
Xu Shu turned around, frowned slightly, and said, "Lord, I expect that Cao Ren will come to rob the camp tonight." This is also Cao Cao's usual combat method, defeating and not retreating, but taking him by surprise and attacking him unprepared. Cao Ren has always regarded Cao Cao as an object of emulation, heh, it's a pity that he can't always learn the essence of Cao Cao, only the epidermis, and the effect is often unsatisfactory. I already have an idea in my mind. ”
After saying that, Liu Bei's expression became solemn and serious, led Xu Shu to the high position of the court, leaned over and saluted him: "But it is under the command of the military division." ”
Xu Shu hurriedly helped Liu Bei up and said, "The lord is too polite. Then he said to the soldiers: "Cao Ren's soldiers are heading towards our big camp outside the city. We should ambush Cao Ren halfway through his march, and between Fancheng and Xinye there is a mountain valley called Shekou. Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, you lead 10,000 military horses and ambush them at the front and back ends of Shekou. When Cao Renjun arrives, let him in, and when he passes half of his army, the two of you will fight separately, so that Cao Jun's head and tail will be difficult to take care of, and he will definitely win a big victory! ”
Zhang Zhao and the others obeyed the order, stepped forward and hugged their fists and said: "Obey!" Then the two went to lead the army.
"Military advisor, there is a military advisor, the fierce generals under Cao Cao are not worth mentioning, and the millions of Cao troops have also turned into powder." Liu Bei excitedly shook Xu Shu's hands and said.
Xu Shu said modestly: "The lord has won the award." ”
"It's just that, military advisor, if Cao Cao breaks Cao Ren's general, I'm afraid he won't give up in the future..."Liu Bei said worriedly.
Xu Shu said with relief: "Lord, please rest assured. Cao Ren's life has not yet arrived, and this battle should only make him suffer hardships and learn a long lesson. ”
On Shekou Mountain, Xiang Xia also led a team of men and horses to ambush. In the distance, I saw Cao Ren driving a horse, leading a large group of people and horses, moving forward. Cao Ren has also been on the battlefield for a long time in the end, and when he saw the smoke and dust on the mountain, he secretly said that it was not good, and it was possible that he was ambushed.
"Brothers, move forward!" Cao Ren ordered.
At the same time, with Zhao Yun's order. Some of the soldiers raised their rockets and fired them at Cao's army; Some threw torches down, others pushed large boulders down. Cao Jun was either shot, burned, or smashed.
"Not good! Get out with me! Cao Ren roared, raised his broadsword, and kept pumping his horse, rushing forward.
If you want to run, it's not that easy. Xiang Xia chased briskly on the mountain depression, while Cao Ren hurriedly fled on the ground.
Somehow, Cao Ren suddenly stopped riding his horse.
It turned out that Xiang Xia was standing on the mountain depression, looking at Cao Ren condescendingly. Holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, he is heroic and slender. Xiang Xia held a torch to the soldiers who followed him, and the fire light illuminated the silent night, and it also reflected Xiang Xia and Cao Ren very clearly.
"Cao Ren, look where you are still fleeing!"
"Hmph..."Cao Ren smashed his fist and snorted coldly in disdain. He recognized Xiang Xia's figure, they had fought in the last battle in Xuzhou, and said indignantly: "It's me Cao Ren's skills are not as good as others, and Cao Hong was helping me last time, if it really dies in your hands this time, I don't have anything to say." However, I won't accept my fate easily! ”
"You're a man, but it's a pity that we're not in the same camp." With that, Xiang Xia raised his bow and crossbow and put the arrow feathers on the string. The breeze ruffled a few strands of her hair, squinted her eyes, and began to exert force on her hands.
Cao Ren stared with bated breath, clenched the big knife, and held it in front of him, in a defensive posture.
"Do you think you'll be able to stop my attack?" Xiang Xia confidently hooked the corners of his mouth. With her current superb archery skills, it is not an exaggeration to say that she has a hundred shots. Even if this wooden arrow was blocked by him, she could immediately put the bundle of immortal ropes on the bowstring and launch it, and then he would definitely die.
Cao Ren frowned, the palm of the hand holding the big knife was soaked with sweat, and he trembled slightly. He naturally knew that it was easy for the enemy in front of him to take his life, but the general's bloody nature in his bones did not allow him to retreat, even if he knew in his heart that it was impossible to escape today, and it was very likely that he would die here, he would resist until the last moment.
It's just that the figure of him pulling a bow and arrows is so familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere. Most of the people in the army are like him, tall and strong, but the enemy generals in front of him are thin and short, which is very rare. By the way, could it be him?
Thinking of it, Cao Ren hurriedly said: "Wait a minute..."
Xiang Xia put down his bow and arrows, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Cao Ren suspiciously.
Cao Ren explained coldly: "Don't get me wrong, I, Cao Ren, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. It's just that before I die, there are some questions I want to figure out. You're also a general? Or whose subordinates? ”
When he asked, Xiang Xia was even more confused, and asked with some vigilance: "Why are you asking this?" ”
"I seem to have seen you somewhere. I'm telling you the truth, don't think I'm getting close to you, wait for what will happen or whatever! Cao Ren's tone was firm and unquestionable.
Xiang Xia frowned, she had already felt it, he actually felt the same? Could it be that they have really seen it somewhere?
"I... I'm not a general, I'm Zhao Yun's subordinate. Xiang Xia replied.
Cao Ren thought for a moment and muttered, "Zhao Yun... Have you and your general ever served Gongsun Zhan? ”
"It's... You were also a subordinate of Gongsun Zhan? Xiang Xia looked at Cao Ren unkindly.
