Chapter 49: Guan Yu fights Xu Chu
When Zhang Fei heard this, he hurriedly walked out, stood on the city wall, and looked out of the city.
Sure enough, there was a black pressure outside the city, and Cao Jun's banner was waving in the wind, and at a glance, there were tens of thousands of people.
"Hmph, this Cao Apo really can't help it." Zhang Fei scolded.
"City Lord, if the Cao army really breaks through Xiangping, then we are in danger." A general said worriedly.
"Humph!"
Hearing the general's words, Zhang Fei glared at him unhappily and said, "Are we afraid of this group of miscellaneous people?" With the strength of my army, we will definitely be able to defeat them! ”
"Yes!"
The general was glared at by Zhang Fei and shrunk his neck in fright.
"Okay, don't be afraid, Cao Jun is indeed very powerful, but they can't help us." Zhang Fei said.
"Yes!"
"Okay, give the order to go down and get ready for battle!"
"Yes!"
"Pass the order, all the archers will go to the city, ready to shoot the Cao army attacking Xiangping at any time!" Zhang Fei said again.
"Whoa!"
"Why are you still stunned, why don't you hurry up and pass the order!" Zhang Fei shouted.
"Whoa!"
......
On Xiangping City, all the archers gathered at the head of the city, ready to stand by at any time.
Cao's army was only about five miles away from the city.
The soldiers of the Cao army have already lined up in formation, and as for the black cavalry, they were stopped on Changbai Mountain by the righteous army, and they could not see the battle here.
At this time, the Cao army was ready, and they also knew that the city was heavily guarded, so they did not rush to send them to death, but just waited for the opportunity to sneak attack.
Time passed minute by minute, and the two sides were at a stalemate.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly reached the ears of the generals, "Cao Mengde, you don't want to occupy my Xiangping!" You, the Cao family, will die at my hands sooner or later! ”
Everyone looked up, only to see a middle-aged man in a green robe and holding a big knife in the distance, riding a horse rushing in from the city gate, swinging the big knife, shouting: "You traitors, don't quickly kneel and surrender!" ”
Hearing the clamor of the middle-aged man in Tsing Yi, the generals were angry.
"What are you? Dare to be presumptuous in front of Childe! Xu Chu shouted.
"Look for death!" This middle-aged man in Tsing Yi was Guan Yu, I saw him snort coldly, stepped forward, and with a wave of the big knife in his hand, he slashed at Xu Chu.
Xu Chu frowned slightly, and immediately dodged, while waving a big knife to block.
Clang!
The two weapons collided together.
The sound of the tremor also wanted to spread around.
will fight with the general, and the soldiers and horses on both sides naturally do not need to fight.
Cao Xuan watched from afar, the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Military advisor, who do you think General Xu Chu or Guan Yu will win?" ”
"I think General Xu Chu Xu will win." Sima Yi pondered for a while and said.
"Why?" Cao Cao asked suspiciously.
"Guan Yu's martial arts may be on par with General Xu, but the weight of the weapon in Guan Yu's hand is extraordinary, and in the end, Guan Yu will definitely lose his physical strength, and he will definitely be defeated." Sima Yi said.
"Good!" Cao Xuan smiled when she heard this.
Sima Yi nodded when he heard this, but he didn't care.
......
After Xu Chu and Guan Yu fought more than 300 moves, the two were still evenly matched, although Xu Chu also had a few brushes, but he couldn't win in a short time, and now this situation, I'm afraid it will drag on for a long time.
When Xu Chu and Guan Yu were in a fierce confrontation, on the city wall, Zhuge Liang was also discussing with Liu Bei how to resist the attack of Cao's army.
"Lord, in the current situation, I am afraid that our reinforcements will not be able to come back, and Cao Mengde's army is close to our city, even if we hold the city now, I am afraid that the city will be lost!" Zhuge Liang said.
"No, Xiangping is the last base area, if they capture it, I'm afraid we won't have a day to turn over!" Liu Bei said.
"The lord is very worried, so what should we do now?" Zhuge Liang asked.
Liu Bei frowned and said, "Now, I can only fight hard, how much grain and grass are there in the city?" ”
Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said: "Lord, now the materials in our city are only 300,000 stone grain, if it is attacked, we will not be able to hold out for a few days, and the soldiers of the Cao army are well-trained, and although our army has fifty or sixty thousand people, it is not elite, if we fight with the Cao army, we are afraid that we will suffer heavy casualties, and if we retreat, the Cao army will definitely chase to the ends of the earth." ”
Liu Bei thought for a moment and said, "In this way, I'll send someone to investigate the enemy's situation first, and then make a decision, how about it?" ”
"The lord is wise!"
Liu Bei nodded, and then said to Zhang Fei: "Second brother, immediately send an order, let all the soldiers go to the city to defend, and defend the city at all costs!" ”
"No!"
......
Immediately, Zhang Fei went down to convey Liu Bei's order.
After Zhang Fei left, Liu Bei turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang and asked, "Strategist, can we win this war?" ”
"This war is probably the most difficult war to win so far, and even I don't have much to do." Zhuge Liang said.
When Liu Bei heard this, he sighed and said, "This time, I am really desperate. ”
"My lord, in fact, it may not be without a glimmer of life!" Zhuge Liang said.
"Oh?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up and said, "Strategist, what are your clever plans?" ”
"My lord, I have a clever plan." Zhuge Liang said.
"Come on!" Liu Bei couldn't wait to say.
"Lord, please listen carefully!" Zhuge Liang said.
"Speak quickly!"
"Lord, now there are only 300,000 stone grain left in the city, and this grain can't supply us enough time to defend the city, so I think we should retreat as soon as possible, and then go straight to Dongwu, and defeat the Xiliang Iron Cavalry with Dongwu, and now Dongwu, this can be regarded as a glimmer of life." Zhuge Liang said.
"Oh, you've got a good idea, we'll do it!" Liu Bei nodded and said.
"Then lord, let's go and gather the soldiers now, and prepare to evacuate!" Zhuge Liang said.
"Well, let's go!" Liu Bei said.
"No!"
......
Immediately, Zhuge Liang led the generals down to the city.
The guards on the city wall didn't know what was happening outside the city, and when they saw Zhuge Liang and others going down to the city, they all looked strange.
Zhuge Liang led the soldiers to walk a few steps, suddenly stopped, he turned back to the soldiers guarding the city wall and shouted: "Brothers, the Cao army has attacked, please prepare to meet the enemy!" ”
The guards were startled and hurriedly ran out of the city wall and looked out of the city.
"What? Cao's army has already attacked Xiangping and is about to attack the city? ”
"Damn, these bastards, they actually attacked our city, damn it!"
"Lord, Cao Jun is menacing, what should we do?"
