Chapter 211: I'm also dragging my feet

Lei Xu looked at the banner on the opposite side and calmly analyzed: "Xu Chu and the Huwei battalion went to Junxuan, there are three kinds of banners in the enemy formation, Long, Xu, and Tang in front of us, which means that we are in front of the left and right city defense battalions, and now only the so-called craftsman battalion and cavalry battalion can fight in the city, if we can defeat the thousands of people in front of us, maybe we can take Hefei by the way, and the benefits will be more than just outside the city..."

"If you win the city, the benefit will be more, but the cost will not be small, I don't know how the combat power of the city defense battalion is in front of me..."

Zhang Duo's eyebrows wrinkled into a Sichuan character: "In short, if we suffer a loss, we will find trouble with Mei Cheng when we turn around, I don't know what this guy has to do with Li Shu..."

Lei Xu shook his head slightly: "Defending the city is different from fighting in the field, no one knows their strength, if there is a disparity in strength later, we will retreat decisively, if Long Xiang is desperate, there is no need to fight them to the end." ”

"Listen to you, when General Lei will attack, I will assist on the flank..."

"Hmm."

The two formed a temporary alliance at the instigation of Mei Cheng, and originally planned to plunder outside Hefei, but they did not expect Long Xiang to come out, which was contrary to Hefei's previous strategy against the enemy.

The march had gone so far that it was impossible to retreat when they saw the defenders, so the two planned to try it, and if they could win, they would pick the fruits of Hefei, and if they encountered hard stubble, they would return to Shouchun to ask for their guilt.

The third battalion of Hefei has been kept neat and tidy, and Lei Xu and Zhang Duo can only let the front hold down the formation because they have not yet completed the formation, so there is a commotion in many places in the team behind, and everything is in Long Xiang's eyes.

Long Xiang shouldn't have given the enemy time to prepare, but to cover Zhang Fei's surprise attack from the flank, he ordered Xu Ding to come forward and fight.

Xu Ding took the order forward, and the horizontal knife immediately shouted angrily in front of the battle: "Where is the rat, dare to offend my realm?" and he that hath courage comes forth to die. ”

Lei Xu saw that Xu Ding was burly, and he was not sure whether it was Xu Chu or Xu Ding, so he frowned and asked: "We don't kill unknown people, and we are under the banner of Xu Zi after the battle, could it be Xu Chu who defeated Sun Ce?" ”

Xu Ding raised the knife in his hand, and snorted disdainfully: "I am Xu Ding, do you want to find my second brother?" I'm afraid your neck is not hard enough. ”

Lei Xu was hesitating whether to fight, and Zhang Duo next to him tilted his head and reminded in a low voice:

"Although it's not Xu Chu himself, he doesn't look easy to mess with, we have enough advantage in strength, why do we need to fight hard? It's not worth it at all. ”

"What does General Zhang mean..."

"Delay it for a while, wait until the formation is completed, and then attack directly."

Lei Xu and Zhang Duo coincided, so he pointed his spear at Xu Ding, and said contemptuously: "Since it is not Xu Chu, how can you fight with us?" Don't retreat quickly and fight with a famous one. ”

"You..."

Xu Ding was speechless after hearing this, turned his head to ask for advice from the formation, and saw that Tang Yu, Hao Meng and the others were gloomy, but Long Xiang's expression was very relaxed, and he said that General Long had the demeanor of a general.

"Yunqi, let me go."

"General Long, I'll call the battle."

"I'll go too."

Long Xiang held the spear, made a gesture for everyone to stop speaking, and then signaled Xu Ding to withdraw with his left hand, but he urged the horse to catch up.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar Lei Xu on the other side, Long Xiang held the saddle and asked coldly: "General Lei, don't come unharmed, I don't know if my Long Xiang is qualified?" ”

"Long Xiang, is he really Long Xiang?"

Zhang Duo looked at it and confirmed it with Lei Xu.

Receiving affirmative eyes, Zhang Duo raised his eyes and asked himself: "It turns out that this guy is really so young, how can such a reckless man defeat Zheng Bao and Sun Ce?" Could it be that he is really a dragon and after? No, Hefei should have relied mainly on Xu Chu before..."

Lei Xu ignored Zhang Duo, but saluted with a gun and a fist: "We used to be under the command of Yuan Shu, but we didn't have a chance to meet, and today's meeting is indeed a talent, who would have thought that the unknown Longqu Hou would leave Shouchun and become famous, I really admire..."

"Stop."

Long Xiang interrupted Lei Xu and asked in a deep voice: "Let's talk about the old later, since General Lei and I went out of Shouchun together, why did you bring troops to attack today?" ”

Lei Xu's eyelids moved, and he replied indifferently: "This year, there is a big drought in Huainan, and the brother behind me is hungry. ”

"Twenty thousand?"

"Ahh Is it too much? Fifteen thousand is fine..."

Long Xiang shook his head slightly: "It's not impossible to borrow grain, it's just..."

"But how?"

Lei Xu had some expectations, and said in his heart that if this Long Xiang knew the current affairs, maybe he wouldn't have to fight today.

But Long Xiang's next words directly cut off Lei Xu's expectations.

"My grain in Hefei only raises people in Hefei, if General Lei wants to eat, then lead his troops to vote..."

"General Long is joking with me?"

Lei Xu frowned and showed a look of displeasure, and Long Xiang snorted coldly and responded: "You made fun of it first..."

Thinking of delaying time, Lei Xu held back his anger and began to compliment: "General Long is really joking, but it's a pity that General Qiao didn't find out that you are a talent, otherwise you wouldn't have died in a foreign country..."

Long Xiang was about to answer when he suddenly heard a whistle.

Turning his head, he caught a glimpse of the small flag in Liu Ye's hand shaking, which meant that Zhang Fei had arrived at the attack position, and just waited for Long Xiang to give the order to start a battle in the front, and he inserted it into the enemy formation from the flank at the same time.

Long Xiang turned his head to stare at Lei Xu, and his tone was very playful: "Lei Xu, there seems to be no friendship between us?" You just deliberately pulled the greetings, are you delaying the end of time? ”

"Hmph, how is that possible?"

Lei Xu saw that the plan was broken, and his heart was weak, so he immediately denied it.

"I'll tell you a secret, in fact, I was stalling for time just now, hahaha..."

Long Xiang's laughter made Lei Xu and Zhang Duo's scalps tingle, and when the laughter ended, he suddenly heard Long Xiang shout four words.

"All the troops are attacking."

As soon as Long Xiang's order was issued, the left and right city defense battalions and tiger guard battalions pressed down like bulldozers, and the formation did not change at all during the movement.

Long Xiang suddenly attacked, Lei Xu and Zhang Duo were completely unprepared, and let the front army block the attack in a panic, and the two were escorted by their own soldiers and retreated.

The two sides fought each other in short combat, and the sound of killing shook the sky for a while.

On the way back to retreat, Zhang Duo found the colonel in his own formation, and reported to him in a panic: "General Zhang, a cavalry broke into our main formation, and the soldiers did not complete the formation, and now the main formation is even more chaotic, you can quickly get an idea." ”

"Cavalry?"

Zhang Duo's eyes lit up when he heard it: "How many cavalry can Hefei have?" Since Long Xiang wants to send me a war horse, we are naturally disrespectful, and quickly let people surround the cavalry and kill people and take the horses. ”

"Although there are only fifty or sixty horsemen, the brothers can't stop it at all, and the leader will call himself... Self-proclaimed..."

Seeing that the little school was spitting and spitting, Zhang Duoji was extremely impatient: "When is it?" What does he call himself? ”

"He called himself Xu Chu..."

"Xu Chu? It must be a fake name, Xu Chu is now guarding the city, waiting for me to come forward and capture this person. ”

"General be careful..."

"Noise!"

Zhang Duo cowered in front of Lei Xu because Lei Xu's soldiers were in the front, and he wanted to create the impression that he was not as good as Lei Xu.

At this time, the formation was disturbed, and Zhang Duo had to go back to control the situation, so he showed unusual decisiveness.

Some people died, but not completely......
