Everyone looked at Zhao Yun holding high the spear that pierced through Wen Chou's corpse.

Everyone's face fell into a momentary froze.

Wen Chou, he is dead!

Wen Chou, one of the four court pillars of Hebei, one of the four generals of Yuan Shao, and the commander of 6,000 cavalry, was actually picked among the 1,000 cavalry of the enemy army!

Zhang Xiu and the others reacted first and roared excitedly.

Que Ze, Chen Jiao and others on the city wall roared excitedly.

I was able to really win!

And killed the enemy general!

Yuan Tan came back to his senses, and everyone was stunned.

Looking at the crazy appearance of the defenders of Pengcheng, listening to their crazy shouts, and then looking at the thousands of cavalry on his side who were stunned and dejected, Yuan Tan could only withdraw his troops.

As soon as Wen Chou dies, how can this be beaten?

If you fight again, these thousands of cavalry will be swallowed by someone, and you will not be able to bear the consequences when the time comes!

As the sound of gold sounded, Wen Chou's thousands of cavalry retreated.

Zhang Xiu rode to Zhao Yun's side, punched him in the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Little junior brother, amazing!" ”

Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing.

The repression of these days is released in this moment.

Seeing the enemy retreat, Zhao Yun also beckoned everyone to retreat.

Lu Bu pouted as Zhao Yun carried Wen Chou's body into the city.

Why did you always let him take the lead?

Wen Chou, that idiot, why don't you pick on yourself?

While entering the city, Lu Bu looked back at the Wenchou cavalry who had left, and spat hatefully.

Next time, if you have a chance, you will never let others steal the credit!

Besides, Yuan Tan took the generals back to the tent.

All of a sudden, the whole tent was so dull that it was breathless.

Although Zhou Yu sat quietly on Yuan Tan's left, he was also a little unable to calm down at this time.

His mind was full of the scene of the battle between the cavalry of the two sides just now.

Why is Jiangdong's thousand-man cavalry so good?

It's not at all like the fighting style of the Jiangdong soldiers!

Especially that Zhao Yun, who was able to stab Wen Chou under the horse with one move.

Could it be that I really lost my eyes?

At this moment, Yuan Tan couldn't help it after all, and took the lead in speaking: "Princess, the scheduled siege tonight, do you want to continue?" Now that Wen Chou has died in battle, our morale has been frustrated, and I am afraid that the siege will not be good. ”

When the generals saw Yuan Tan speak, they all looked over.

A general stood up, saluted Yuan Tan and said: "Eldest prince, although we are all very sad for the loss of General Wenchou, General Wenchou and the cavalry led by him did not participate in the battle except for the surprise attack on Langya County that forced Lu Bu to abandon the city and flee. ”

"Pengcheng attacked the city three times before, and General Wenchou and his cavalry watched the battle from the sidelines."

"Therefore, I thought that even if we lost General Wenchou this time, it would not affect our siege today."

Other generals chimed in.

When Yuan Tan heard this, the general was in a much better mood.

If he can really capture Pengcheng, and then drive straight down, when the time comes, he will return to his father, and he can also push Wen Chou's killing to himself.

It was he who insisted on going his own way and accepted the enemy's war letter when the situation was good.

It was even more that he underestimated the enemy, resulting in being killed in the army with less to win more.

Yuan Tan let out a long breath and said, "Lords, since this is the case, then this afternoon before the handover with Shen Shi, we will attack the city again!" ”

"In this siege, we must break through the city gate, capture Pengcheng, and avenge General Wenchou!"

All the generals said: "Revenge for General Wen Chou!" ”

Zhou Yu: "."

What are these people thinking!

Zhou Yu looked at Yuan Tan and said, "Eldest prince, attacking the city this afternoon, it is not a good plan!" ”

"The number of enemy troops is not small, at least tens of thousands."

"Before, they could only be beaten passively and did not dare to go out of the city, because General Wen Chou led the cavalry to sit outside the city and was ready to move at any time."

"Although General Wen Chou did not participate in the siege, his merits should not be underestimated."

"The three successive sieges of the city exhausted the defenders of Pengcheng, and their morale dropped to extremely low. Therefore, before the eldest prince wanted to attack the city this afternoon, I have no objection. ”

"However, today's battle of General Wen Chou has completely boosted the morale of the defenders of Pengcheng."

"When the enemy defenders have tens of thousands of soldiers and morale skyrocketing, and we only have 50,000 archers, the siege cannot be won. Even, if the enemy takes the opportunity to kill out of the city, we will lose our troops. ”

"Although we still have 6,000 cavalry, today's battle of General Wen Chou has made the defenders of Pengcheng more confident."

"They're going to risk their lives to get out of the city."

"We have catapults, arrow towers and other siege weapons, and at this time, it is very likely that they will become a burden."

"Now, all we can do is wait and demoralize the enemy."

"Although the enemy should have reinforcements coming, we also have reinforcements on the way."

"And, while waiting for the right moment, we will re-identify the new commander of the six thousand cavalry and restore morale."

"Next time we attack the city, we can fight again!"

"And the defenders of Pengcheng, in the face of our siege, cannot break the enemy, and as time goes by, their high morale will fall again."

"We are the safest to wait for the day and then get the chance to win!"

"I don't know how to pretend to understand." A sneer sounded, and a middle-aged general stood up and said, "Morale, how can it be compared to the absolute strength to crush it?" ”

"Now we have crushed the defenders of Pengcheng to the point where they are powerless to resist."

"Now is the perfect time to take the city."

"If you don't take it now, continue to wait, it's just a delay in the fighter!"

"Not only can the enemy take advantage of this opportunity to repair the walls, but when their reinforcements arrive, it will be even more difficult for us to break the city."

"Zhou Yu'er, you are clearly deliberately making it bad!"

"I think your allegiance to the lord is fake, you are clearly Jiangdong's meticulous work, deliberately delaying our attack when we want to seize the city, so that Jiangdong has the ability to prevent it!"

This person's name is Jiang Qi, and he is also one of the first group of civil and military generals to follow Yuan Shao.

When Zhou Yu saw Jiang Qi say this, he stood up with a pale face.

This group of people has no ability, and insulting people is first-class.

It can be seen that as he stood up, the other generals in the tent also stood up, faintly moving closer to Jiang Qi, Zhou Yu took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his anger.

If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan.

This group of waste, let them suffer, they will naturally remember their good.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu sat down again.

Jiang Qi and the others saw that Zhou Yu was about to get angry, so they sat back and laughed out loud.

"Sure enough, it's a soft egg!"

"The children of Jiangdong, only in the book can they show their bravery. Actually, it's a bunch of rats! ”

"The children of Jiangdong during the period of the overlord of Chu no longer exist."

Zhou Yu's right hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, and his forehead was bruised.

Seeing this, Yuan Tan hurriedly said: "Princes, don't fight!" Now that the siege is imminent, everyone must be united. ”

When the generals saw Yuan Tan speak, they didn't continue to taunt.

Yuan Tan glanced at everyone: "Then, my lords, now let's discuss the siege of the city this afternoon." ”

After Yuan Tan and his generals discussed, they each returned to the camp to reorganize their troops and horses.

After eating lunch and resting for a while, the army marched again and headed towards Pengcheng.

This time the 6,000 cavalry did not move.

They had just experienced defeat and their morale was low, and Yuan Tan asked the lieutenant general to pacify them in the camp.

The army rushed to the city of Pengcheng, on the other side of the moat.

Thirty catapults and twenty arrow towers were pushed to the front of the army by tens of thousands of soldiers.

Yuan Tan took Zhou Yu and hundreds of guards to sit at the end of the Chinese army.

On the wall of Pengcheng, the soldiers defending the city are constantly shuttling back and forth.

Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Lu Bu, Tian Yu and others all came.

Seeing that the Yuan army outside the city was all over the mountains, with banners arrayed, but there were only no 6,000 cavalry before, Chen Jiao, the county guard of Pengcheng, said with a sigh: "This time the siege of the city, the enemy cavalry is not there!" ”

Tian Yu and the others also nodded.

Seeing that tens of thousands of people were clustered around the catapult and the arrow tower, Tian Yu clapped his palms and said to Zhao Yun: "General, the enemy cavalry is not here, and in this situation, we may break the enemy!" ”

Everyone looked at Tian Yu one after another.

Tian Yu said: "The enemy cavalry is not here, just these archers, even if we open the city gate to meet the enemy, we don't need to worry that they can take the opportunity to break through the defense line of our army and directly enter the city." ”

"On the contrary, look at the catapults and arrow towers, all of which are extremely heavy."

"And, of course, they're incredibly destructive."

"However, now that there is no cavalry threat, we can immediately organize a large army to guard the city gates."

"When the enemy catapult and arrow tower have just crossed the moat, we will open the city gate and rush straight over!"

"Catapults and turrets are capable of attacking the walls and the soldiers on them from a distance, beyond the reach of our archers. However, they were unable to fight back against the soldiers at close range. ”

"It's entirely possible for us to rush and kill the enemy, not to mention completely crushing the enemy, killing the enemy of the catapult and the arrow tower, they don't have weapons with them!"

"If we're lucky, we'll be able to cross the moat and even hit the enemy in the belly!"

Looking at Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu, Tian Yu pointed to the rear of Yuan Shao's army, drew two arcs on both sides and said: "Two generals, you can take advantage of the chaos to lead the cavalry to raid the enemy commander from both sides." However, remember not to fall in love. ”

"If you can't get it, retreat immediately to prevent the enemy from coming back to their senses and surround you."

"The enemy is outnumbered."

"If you are surrounded, we can only watch you be annihilated, and we will not be able to go out of the city to rescue."

When the generals heard Tian Yu say this, they all looked at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun said: "Then do what the country says." ”

Looking at Chen Jiao, Zhao Yun said: "I and Guorang will now go down and organize a large army to attack the city, Chen Jiaojun will guard you and guard the city wall, in case the situation is not right, you will act with your camera." ”

Chen Jiao said: "Okay! ”

Zhao Yun and Tian Yu quickly descended the city wall.

Zhang Xiu and Lü Bu also galloped towards the city and gathered their cavalry.

Outside the city, Yuan Tan looked at the defenders on the city wall who seemed to be still those, and there was no change from before, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking up at the sky, he waited until the agreed time of the time and the time of Shen alternated, Yuan Tan's expression perked up, and he asked the standard-bearer to wave the flag and start attacking the city!

A solemn trumpet sounded.

The army of 50,000 began to move slowly forward.

Behind the catapults and turrets, four phalanx infantry rushed to the moat with ladders and erected themselves on the moat.

Tens of thousands of soldiers crossed the moat in clusters of catapults and arrow towers.

Everything was like the first three sieges.

The defenders of Pengcheng on the city wall could only watch this scene with their eyes and did not dare to leave the city, but the attack of the archers could not reach it.

Yuan Tan summoned the war drums, personally jumped on the drum platform, beat the war drums, and cheered for the siege soldiers!

And yet—

Here the drums of war have just been beaten.

Catapults and arrow towers had just been pushed across the moat by ladders to the other side of the moat.

The gate of Pengcheng suddenly opened!

Led by Zhao Yun and Tian Yu, the army roared and rushed out of the city, rushing straight to the catapult and the arrow tower!

The defenders of Pengcheng in the city rushed out of the city directly this time, which surprised Yuan Tan and others.

Yuan Tan's movement of beating the war drum also stopped.

Hurriedly jumped down from the drum platform, Yuan Tan hurriedly signaled the flag bearer to wave the flag, so that the follow-up army could meet the enemy!

Zhou Yu rode a war horse, standing beside Yuan Tan, watching this scene, his face full of sarcasm.

And so it was.

Yuan Shao's follow-up army quickly rushed towards the moat.

The soldiers around the catapult and the arrow tower saw the defenders of Pengcheng in the city rushing out, and they immediately panicked.

They didn't carry weapons!

They are only responsible for catapult and arrow tower operations!

Watching the enemy come at them, the soldiers threw down the catapults and arrow towers, turned around and ran.

Yuan Shao's follow-up army also came up.

Catapults and arrow tower soldiers were immediately encircled on the ladders of the moat.

Zhao Yun and Tian Yu led the defenders of Pengcheng to rush over.

One-sided slaughter!

Yuan Shao's catapult and the soldiers of the arrow tower screamed and wailed, and fell as quickly as wheat that had been cut down, and fell in a pool of blood.

Yuan Tan looked at this scene, cold sweat flowed on his forehead.

He hurriedly ordered the follow-up army to retreat.

Otherwise, if it continues, these catapults and arrow tower soldiers, numbering tens of thousands, will be unilaterally slaughtered by the defenders of Pengcheng!

Yuan Shao's follow-up army received an order to retreat quickly, giving way to the catapults and arrow tower soldiers.

But the defenders of Pengcheng also followed and killed the moat!

When Zhao Yun and Tian Yu led the army to kill the moat, in the city, Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu led the cavalry under their tent to kill them successively.

The two cavalry crossed the moat, detoured to both sides of Yuan Shao's army, and galloped towards Yuan Tan!

Seeing this, Yuan Tan hurriedly ordered the standard-bearer to launch escorts.

Yuan Shao's follow-up army quickly dispersed and attacked the cavalry of Lü Bu and Zhang Xiu on both sides of the detour, trying to intercept the other party.

However, these were all bow infantry.

How can their speed keep up with the speed of the cavalry?

After a while, Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu each led the cavalry around the rear of Yuan Shao's army.

Hundreds of guards around Yuan Tan immediately surrounded Yuan Tan, Zhou Yu and other generals.

The follow-up army also surrounded it.

Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu led the cavalry, like two sharp blades, quickly tearing apart the enemy's defense line.

The guards screamed and flew out.

Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu with the cavalry have already killed Yuan Tan's left and right sides!

Yuan Tan didn't dare to gasp, holding the sword in his right hand, his expression tense.

However, after all, it is the big rear.

When the pro-guards dragged the two cavalry of Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu with their lives, the follow-up army quickly surrounded them, and they were about to surround the two cavalry of Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu led the cavalry around a big bend, and while rushing out of the encirclement, he glanced back at Yuan Tan and secretly called it a pity.

Just a little bit!

Less than thirty paces away!

If he had rushed past these thirty steps, he would have the full confidence to slay the enemy commander!

Unfortunately, no!

Lu Bu saw that Zhang Xiu had already retreated, and Yuan Shao's follow-up army quickly closed the siege, and he was about to surround himself.

While quickly making a bend and preparing to retreat, Lu Bu quickly took off the curved bow and an arrow he was carrying behind him, and raised his hand to shoot at Yuan Tan.

As a general who was born in Bingzhou and fought on horses all year round, he can not only make a good halberd, but also ride and shoot is his unique skill!

At the moment when he rushed out of the encirclement around the corner, the arrow shot out in an instant, heading straight for Yuan Tanmian's door!

Yuan Tan was still looking at Zhang Xiu, relieved that Zhang Xiu had just withdrawn, and he didn't notice that Lu Bu could shoot an arrow at him accurately at the moment when he was cornering.

Only Zhou Yu noticed Lu Bu!

Seeing the arrows shooting towards Yuan Tan, Zhou Yu hurriedly pounced on Yuan Tan.

A muffled snort.

The arrow shot at Yuan Tan sank into the left side of Zhou Yu's neck.

Zhou Yu and Yuan Tan fell off their horses together!

All the generals exclaimed in unison: "Great Prince! ”

Lu Bu, who had already fled with the cavalry, glanced back at the extreme distance, saw Yuan Tan stand up, and was so angry that he directly smashed the curved bow in his hand.

Damn it!

Who spoiled my good deeds!
