Chapter 517: Praying Mantis Catches Cicada
( ) Cao Cao looked at Zang Ba, but he also praised this person in his heart for knowing how to observe words and feelings, and did not insist on fighting, but after thinking about it, this Zang Ba retreated so quickly, which may indicate that he is a thief with a weak heart.
After Zang Ba retreated, another person stood up in the military array, this person had a mighty face, but he had some faces, this person was just a Sima between the ranks, but he had always been known for his bravery, and he was Xu Ping, a general under Lu Qian.
This Xu Ping is a native of Yanzhou, when Zhang Miao gave Chen Liu to Cao Cao, Xu Ping has been following Cao Cao, and it has been many years, although he has not made great contributions, but he is also an outstanding general.
I only heard Xu Ping say in a deep voice: "If the lord doesn't dislike it, he will be willing to go!" ”
Cao Cao saw it in his eyes, but his heart was apprehensive, there was no shortage of generals in Chen Yan's army under the city, that is, the loud voice Xu Chu just now was a good hand, I am afraid that no one in his hands can compete with him except Dian Wei, although Xu Ping is brave, but he is only a mediocre martial artist, and now he is facing Xu Chu and others, it is really a little inappropriate.
But Cao Cao's side Xun You seemed to see Cao Cao's reluctance, he looked at Cao Cao, and immediately whispered: "Lord, Chen Yan is really cunning, at this time, take advantage of the weakness, the generals in our army who can fight are already tired, General Xiahoudun and General Cao Ren are not there, if you can't hold out at this time, you will be attacked by Chen Yan's catapult, I think it's better to ......."
Cao Cao couldn't help frowning when he heard Xun You's words, and said in a low voice: "If you have something to say, you can say it directly." ”
Xun You nodded and said: "Chen Yan just saw Lu Bu's tragic death at this time, after all, they are angry in their hearts, their morale is strong, we can't let them gather anger, the only way is to release a team and let Chen Yan vent his anger......"
Speaking of this, Cao Cao's back was cold and he asked, "What do you mean...... Let's let Xu Ping get rid of him and send him to death? ”
The word death, Cao Cao said it is particularly important, because although Cao Cao is a hero, he is not so mad that he can let his men go to death.
Xun You sighed and said slowly: "Lord, the overall situation is important. ”
With that, Cao Cao fell silent all of a sudden.
……
And Chen Yanjun under the city was already restless, and the soldiers behind him kept shouting: "Kill into the city and kill the Cao thief!" ”
Although these soldiers are not all Lu Bu's old people, they are all loyal supporters of Chen Yan, and they are all red-faced, as if Cao Cao killed not only Chen Yan's relatives, but also his own relatives.
Xu Chu was even more horizontal, looking at Xiapi City, the flag on Xiapi City flew over, but no one dared to fight out of the city, Xu Chu shouted for a long time, and almost collapsed the wall of Xiapi City.
After waiting for a long time, suddenly the gate of Picheng moved slightly, and then there was a squeaky hoarse sound, which was like the low roar of a fierce beast, and like the whispering of an old man.
The thief has finally opened the city gate! Cao thief finally dared to fight head-on!
Xu Chu shouted angrily, and immediately shouted: "Who dares to fight me to the death?" ”
After a break from drinking, the gate of Xiapi City was opened, only to see a hussar rushing out first, the first person was eight feet long, carrying a long knife, it was none other than Xu Ping!
Xu Chu saw Xu Ping fighting, sneered, and regardless of the fact that there were five hundred cavalry behind him, he immediately stepped forward, waved his long knife, and rushed towards Xu Ping with a roar.
Xu Ping looked at Xu Chu coming towards him, and only felt that this person was probably several times stronger than himself in terms of figure and strength, and immediately understood the gap between himself and Xu Chu.
It's a pity that Xu Ping didn't have time to call for help, only to see a giant man in front of him mention rushing, he only felt a cold on his body, and then a sharp pain came, and before he saw it, he had been cut into two sections by Xu Chu's long knife!
The soldiers thought that although their commander Xu Ping might not be able to beat the fierce man in front of him, he could at least hold out for one round, but he didn't expect that under this knife, Xu Chu would cut Xu Ping under the horse.
It's just a knife, fast and ruthless!
Xu Ping died tragically on the spot, but Xu Chu was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and suddenly rushed into the hundred-man cavalry formation! Xu Chu's long knife flew, shouting in his mouth, one person and one horse, but it was like a thousand troops!
With such a strong momentum and such amazing strength, I am afraid that only Xu Chu has it!
The cavalry team had already been stunned by Xu Chu's performance of beheading his commander within one move, and now seeing such a huge man rushing towards him, he was even more frightened that the six gods had no master, and they wanted everyone to dismount and surrender.
Xu Chu is not polite, at this time his morale is at his peak, and he shows no mercy, seeing that everyone is a knife, a knife is cut down, and he can easily kill people.
Cao Cao was watching the battle on the city wall, originally thinking that Xu Ping would not be killed so quickly even if he was poor, until he saw Xu Chu's performance, Cao Cao really believed that the tiger and wolf in front of him would be a monster who could fight with Dian Wei!
At this time, the gate of Xiapi City has not been closed, and the cavalry team that rushed out of the city is naturally not willing to sit still, and the soldiers behind are even more turned around and fled towards Xiapi City, so that the city gate is occupied by cavalry, and it will be closed for a while and a half.
Cao Cao was shocked when he saw this, and shouted loudly: "Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly!" ”
It's a pity that the city gate at this time is occupied by cavalry, and there is no possibility of closing it at all, and Chen Yan is naturally not blind, seeing his eyes, he immediately shouted: "Soldiers, let's enter the city gate, kill Cao Cao, and avenge General Lu Bu!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the morale was like a rainbow, and the soldiers took the lead bravely, followed Xu Chu's footsteps, and immediately rushed towards the Xiapi City Gate.
At this time, Xu Chu had killed more than 100 people with one knife and one person, and he drove straight in, and there were no generals under him who had more than three rounds.
On the city tower, Cao Cao saw Chen Yan's army surging, his brows furrowed, and he suddenly sat down on the ground, and sighed: "It's over, it's over!" ”
Xun You hurriedly shook his head and said: "Lord, I think we are planted in Chen Yan's hands this time, the praying mantis catches cicadas, Chen Yan and his yellow finch are behind, let's go quickly, abandon Xiapi, we can still march to Beihai." ”
Xi Zhicai also nodded and said: "Yes, lord, Chen Yan was able to come here smoothly at this time, which means that General Xiahou in Xiaopei City has been calculated by Chen Yan, we have just fought hard with Lu Bu at this time, and the troops in our hands are insufficient, let's retreat quickly and maintain our strength." ”
Cao Cao sat on the ground, changed his demeanor as an overlord in the past, hung his head in despair, and said in a low voice: "Until now, it can only be like this...... Ay...... It's a pity that I was in a hurry and forgot about Chen Yan's ......."
