Lao Cao made a temporary plan, broke Wei Zhong, defrauded Wuxi, and stayed in Wuxi that night.

Because there were too many captured thieves, Lao Cao made Wu Yong lead Tang Bin and Shan Shiqi, and led 2,000 troops to stay behind, saying that he would send someone to take over the city defense when Tong Guan's army arrived, and then rush to Huihe.

He himself led 3,000 troops to fight Pingjiang Mansion in Suzhou.

Wuxi, Suzhou are only dozens of miles apart, early out of the twilight, in the evening, already the army is under the city, on the Hanshan Temple set up a camp.

The three kings did not expect the officers and soldiers to march so quickly, and were shocked: "Lu Shisang has 50,000 soldiers, Qian Zhenpeng has 3,000 soldiers, and a certain family has sent Xing Zheng and Wei Zhong one after another, and there are also 15,000 men and horses, counting together, it is almost 70,000, could it be that these 70,000 are all made of clay paper?" It's only been a few days, how can he be beaten here! ”

He has eight powerful generals under his command, collectively known as the Eight Hussars, the leader of which is the "Flying Dragon General" Liu Yun (sound halo), seeing the troubled appearance, he immediately admonished: "Why should the three kings worry? If you let me wait for eight here, there are 50,000 soldiers in the city, can you still lose him? ”

Fang Maung snorted coldly: "Lu Shisang and the twelve gods of Jiangnan are afraid to think the same way." ”

Liu Yun smiled and said, "How can the twelve gods be on a par with the eight of me?" The three kings Hugh want to grow the morale of others and destroy their own prestige - tomorrow we will send troops, invite him to fight generals, and first kill him eight generals, and his momentum will decline, and the three kings will win a big victory by waving their troops to fight each other. ”

Fang Xiang saw that he was full of confidence, and turned his anger into joy: "If this is the case, this king will ask for credit for the eight of you, and ask Brother Wang to reward him generously." ”

The next day, Fang Xiang put on a golden helmet and golden armor, lifted a Fang Tian painting halberd, ordered 20,000 soldiers, and formed a formation under the city.

When Cao Cao heard the news, he also led a group of brothers out of the camp, and when he saw Cao Cao standing in the middle, he knew that he was the main general, pointed his hand, and shouted: "Bah! You're the one who leads the soldiers to invade my territory? And report your name. ”

Cao Cao smiled and said: "It's easy to say, Qingzhou Deputy General Li Dunzi!" ”

Fang Xiang was surprised when he heard this: "Adjutant General? Then he laughed: "Ridiculous, ridiculous, the Song army is really unpopular, and a mere deputy general let him lead the army to fight." ”

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing: this guy's knowledge is really short-sighted, and he also said that he heard that he was only a deputy general, and he would recruit him as a high-ranking official, but he was ridiculed in person.

smiled and replied: "You were a villager half a year ago, and now you are not a king like a dog?" It can be seen that there is no kind of general, and men should be self-reliant-although Li's official position is low now, he will be promoted to become rich when he is leveled by this group of villagers. ”

Fang Xiang was furious: "Don't talk about it with you!" There are only eight fierce generals under my command, do you dare to allocate eight to fight as well? ”

Cao Cao turned his head, looked at both sides, and saw that all the brothers were eager to try, so he smiled and said: "Okay, if two of you are the same, you are not a hero." We will also send eight men here to fight with you, and whoever kills and dismounts shall carry him back to his own position, and shall not rob or injure anyone with secret arrows. ”

Fang Maung nodded his head and shouted: "Where are the eight horses!" ”

The eight responded in unison: "The end will be here!" "They each clapped their horses forward.

Those eight fierce generals? However, it is: "Flying Dragon General" Liu Yun, "Flying Tiger General" Zhang Wei, "Flying Bear General" Xu Fang, "Flying Leopard General" Guo Shiguang, "Flying Flying General" Wu Fu, "Flying Cloud General" Gou Zheng, "Flying Mountain General" Zhen Cheng, and "Flying Water General" are prosperous.

Cao Cao said: "Which brother wants to fight him?" ”

The voice fell, and eight horses galloped out in unison, which eight?

"Living Dian Wei" Wu Song, "Jade Qilin" Lu Junyi, "Sai Zhang Fei" Du Yan, "Bull Demon King" Bian Xiang, "Nine Pattern Dragon" Shi Jin, "Sword Chaos" Yun Zongwu, "Little Wenhou" Lu Fang, "Sai Rengui" Guo Sheng.

The generals of the two sides looked at each other, and did not speak, they shouted together, each dancing with their blades, looking for the right child to fight, on both sides of the battlefield, the war drums were beaten, those who played the flag, the flag in their hands was shaking, and countless pairs of eyes on the city and under the city watched him fight. But see:

The dust and iron armor are cold, and the sky is full of evil spirits.

The battle flag shook and the sound of killing began, and the heroes fought with each other.

First Formation:

Wu Song fought against the Flying Dragon General, and the double halberds thundered non-stop.

It is praised that Liu Yun is so brave, and the wind splitting knife falls to chase the meteor.

Second Formation:

The Flying Tiger will fight Lu Junyi, and the two guns will fly the snowflakes.

Although the jade unicorn boasts of heroism, the hero Zhang Wei is also very powerful.

Third Formation:

The flying bear will compete against Zhang Fei, and the spear shadow is like a dragon lance chasing after him.

The body is like a bear and the courage is like iron, and Du Xu and the two soldiers want to compete for glory.

Fourth Formation:

The force dominates the Jiangnan Flying Leopard General, and the Northwest Bull Demon King is under air pressure.

Bian Xiang's big axe opens the world, and Shiguang's double swords shine coldly.

Fifth Formation:

Shi Jin fought really hard, and Wu Fu's battle was unsuccessful.

The nine-pattern dragon roared and the wind and clouds moved, and the soul flew into the sky and the ghosts cried at night.

Sixth Formation:

Whoever holds a sword flies in the clouds, and the warrior is very majestic.

Gou Zheng's spear danced in the air, and it was difficult to defeat the strength of the sect.

Seventh Formation:

The flying mountain will meet the little Wenhou, and the long halberd will be criss-crossed.

Today's Lu Fang is not yesterday, Zhen Cheng is in vain.

Eighth Formation:

One holds a halberd and one holds a knife, Guo Shengxiong is prosperous and high.

Who is like a flying general? Sai Rengui threw death and life away.

These sixteen generals fought to the death, sixty-four horseshoe kicked and trampled, this scene, it is really difficult to describe, after more than 20 fights, suddenly "Feiyun General" Gou Zheng poked out a shot, Yun Zongwu raised his left hand, blocked the gun with a handguard moon blade, and dragged it with a while, his strange-shaped long sword, a hook protruding half a foot under the tip of the sword, suddenly locked the spear, Gou Zheng was shocked, drew the gun out, Yun Zongwu's right hand sawtooth knife cut out, and was about to be cut under the horse.

Cao Cao was overjoyed, when the first battle of Shouyang Mountain in Xijing, he was besieged by Yun Zongwu and the other two generals, fortunately Lu Junyi killed in time, with two enemies and three, and Li Dunzi sneak attack, killed two enemy generals in a row, three of them fought against Yun Zongwu, and it took some hands and feet to take it, at that time Lao Cao thought that his martial arts were not under Zhu Jing, and it was easy to subdue it, and now he really made a great achievement.

Fang Xiang saw that he had broken a general, and his heart was sudden, even if he wanted to give an order to Mingjin, Cao Cao's eyes were quick, and when he saw that he turned his head and wanted to give an order, he immediately shouted: "The three kings are called kings in vain, is this amount shallow?" If you only lose one game, you have to admit defeat? ”

Fang Xiang was called by him to break his plan, where can he put his face? I had no choice but to shout: "As long as one against one, fair fighting, this king will naturally not interfere." ”

Cao Cao laughed and called Yun Zongwu to return to the battle, and saw that the remaining seven pairs of generals would fight.

It turned out that the eight generals of the thief soldiers, four dragons, tigers, bears and leopards, were exceptionally high, and four Tianyun landscapes were weaker. After fighting Shihe again, Shi Jinhu roared, and killed Wu Fu with a knife, and his appearance was even more embarrassing.

Wu Song, Lu Junyi, Du Bai, and Bian Xiang are all rare good skills in the world, so is there no arrogance in their hearts? Now that they have been fighting for a long time, they have been credited by Yun Zongwu and Shi Jinxian, and the four of them have secretly felt faceless, and they have gradually increased their strength in their hands.

Wu Songhu was stunned, and three or four halberds in a row were split out with all his might, Liu Yun stood up with a knife, only to feel that this person was really like a god descending from heaven, and he had always been proud of his own strength, but at this moment, he couldn't help but be soft and numb, and suddenly saw the other party's left halberd stabbing rapidly, and when he was eager to dodge, his strength was exhausted, and he shouted in his heart that it was not good, but when he heard the sound of "poof", there was already a hole in his throat.

"Flying Dragon General" Liu Yunnai is the first good player in the Eight Horses, bravely crowning the three armies, seeing that he was beheaded, tens of thousands of southern soldiers, all of them lost color.

Liu Yun fell off the horse for only a moment, Lu Junyi assassinated Zhang Wei with one shot, Du Wei poked Xu Fang with a spear, and the two won almost at the same time, looked at each other, laughed in unison, and returned to their own positions.

Bian Xiang saw that the three of him had won all of them, gritted his steel teeth, and the big axe in his hand danced faster and faster.

Fang Xiang folded five times in a row, only to feel the pain in his heart, where can he still manage his face? shouted: "Collect the troops, collect the troops!" ”

Suddenly, there was a lot of gold in the array, but Cao Cao didn't have gold here, where would Bian Xiang and the other three be willing to put it? Guo Shiguang was anxious to return to the battle, but he showed his flaws, and was taken advantage of by Bian Xiang to take advantage of the situation, and even the people and horses were split into four pieces, and his stomach and intestines flowed all over the ground, and the southern army became more and more frightened.

Fang Xiang scolded: "The rats are rude, I have a gold here, why do you want to chase and kill?" ”

Cao Cao ignored it, looked at it for a while, and saw that although Lu Fang and Guo Sheng did their best, they could not suppress the enemy, and they fought back and forth.

Fang Maung knew that his morale was completely defeated, and he didn't dare to fight, so he asked people to come up and carry the bodies of six people killed in the battle, and returned to the city in despair.

Cao Cao looked at him back to the city and couldn't help but sigh lowly.

Seeing his brother sighing, Wu Song hurriedly asked, "Brother, today's fighting general, he won six battles in eight battles, why do you still sigh?" ”

Cao Cao sighed: "I was expecting this guy to lose the urgency, waving troops to fight, although he has far more soldiers than me, one is not well trained, the other is not complete, and the morale of the three is lost, I just took the opportunity to break it, and grabbed the city, but he knew the opportunity and retreated honestly - in this way, if he does not come out of the city, I have few soldiers here after all, but it is difficult to fight this city." ”

Immediately collected the troops and returned to the village, but called a group of brothers, all in the Chinese army tent to discuss, how to fight his city.

Fan Rui said: "His city, the city wall is high and thick, surrounded by water ports, if you want to attack it, the loss will be great - in fact, brother, I have been attacking the city all the way, but the credit is not small." The Western Army behind him, did he really let him sit back and enjoy his success? It's better to retreat to Wuxi, wait for Tong Guan's guy to come, and tell him to advocate for himself. ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "This is not bad, I am in a hurry, the offensive is like fire, I am afraid that the generals of the Western Army behind are already in a hurry, I should have stayed in Suzhou, and then let them go to the front to fight for merit, now it seems that it is okay to give up Suzhou." ”

The brothers laughed when they heard this, and Ruan Xiaoqi suddenly shouted: "Since this city is a water port, isn't it the time for the three of me to show their faces?" Brother, let's take a leave of absence and return to the army, wait for my three brothers to find a small boat, go around the city, and see if we can take advantage of the waterway and break his city. ”

Cao Cao said: "I calculate the time, Tong Guan's army should have arrived in Yangzhou, and it doesn't hurt to delay for a few more days." If you want to, it's okay to try, but you don't have to risk it – it's best if you can take it, and it doesn't matter if you can't. ”

The three heroes of the Ruan family received the order in unison, and were about to go out of the tent to find the boat, when Niu Gao suddenly shouted: "I have a magic weapon to break the waves, crossing the water is like walking on the flat ground, and I happen to act with the three elder brothers of the Ruan family." ”

Cao Cao thought of his treasure, nodded and agreed: "If you want to go, you can go, but everything is up to your second brother Ruan, and you must not act rashly." ”

Niu Gao smiled: "I listen to him in everything." ”

At that moment, Ruan Thi Sanxiong took Niu Gao out of the tent, found a fast boat in the nearby canal wharf, and the four got on the boat, and walked slowly around the river of the city.

The three brothers said wistfully: "If this is the case, I have to withdraw from my brother." ”

Niu Gao's eyes rolled, but he said: "The three elder brothers of the Ruan family, and listen to the words of the younger brother, when the year before last when Tianhu was fighting, Li Kui and I went to look for my brother, and I was almost flooded by Brother Qiao Daoqing's fleet, and now the spring water is gradually rising, can I think of a way to flood this city?" ”

Ruan Xiaoqi's eyes lit up, jumped up and said, "Brother, I think this plan will make it!" The left and right camps are leaning on the Hanshan Temple, and if there is a big flood in the city, it will be foolproof to go up the mountain in advance. ”

Ruan Xiaowu also said: "Next to it is Taihu Lake, but the lake is bigger than our Liangshanbo, I might as well go and investigate, if it is really possible, I will also see the glory of you and my brother." ”

Ruan Xiaoer saw that several of them had this intention, and nodded slowly: "It's okay to take a look." ”

The four immediately rowed a small boat and went straight to Taihu Lake along the waterway, only to see the sparkling waves, the water and the sky, and it was really a big lake.

Ruan's three males are all soaked in the water, and they have the ability to observe hydrology, after a closer look, Ruan Xiaoer nodded and said: "This lake can lead to a canal, if the water is sent and the canal is dug, it can flood his city, but the specific situation is only to find a high place to see clearly." ”

The four of them looked for a while, and Ruan Xiaowu pointed his hand: "The hill in the lake should be the highest place, and if you climb on it, you will be able to see it clearly." ”

The four of them did not know that this mountain was an ethereal peak, but the head of the seventy-two peaks of Taihu Lake, only to see that it was located on a large island in the lake, and regardless of many, they struggled to row the boat, and to the edge of the island, found a small wharf, moored dozens of fishing boats, the four of them saw it and smiled: "It turns out that this island is also inhabited." He didn't care, so he tied up the boat by himself.

Unexpectedly, Fang walked a few steps to the shore, and suddenly there was a sound of gongs in the dense forest, and two or three hundred fierce men jumped out in all directions, each carrying a single knife and a fishing fork, and surrounded the four of them.

The four of them were all taken aback, and Ruan Xiaoqi shouted, "Huh! The people here are so fierce, and we have never been so arrogant in Shijie Village! ”

Ruan Xiaoer was steady, made a square gesture around, and said slowly: "My four brothers, there is no malice, I just want to climb the peak to see the scenery, if the master does not allow it, I will leave." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the four voices laughing in unison, and then the crowd was divided, revealing four figures: the first person had a red beard and yellow hair, wearing a green silk jacket, the second person was thin and short-haired, wearing a black and green plate-collared wooden brocade shirt, the third person had a long black beard, and the fourth person had a bony face and broad cheeks, a fan-circled beard, and both of them had green jackets.

The four of them each wore a certain black felt hat on their heads, and they all held swords around them, and the four of them laughed, and one of them said coldly: "Our island, but you can't come when you want to, and you can leave if you want!" ”

This is exactly what it is: the eight horses under the city fought fiercely, and the four friends in the lake met again. Why bother to turn over the waves when breaking the city, there are heroes to help make contributions.
