Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2158 Di Qing finally sends troops, and Hei Tao almost burns the city

However, when Gongsun Yan himself was already disappointed, Di Qing's troops, which had been silent until now, finally started to move.

Gongsun Yan still had 40,000 soldiers and horses left under Pengcheng. These soldiers and horses were the prepared bait. As long as Su Qin had an idea, he could arrive in a short time at the speed of Guan Ning's cavalry.

However, Di Qing finally made a move, but he did not attack the 40,000 soldiers and horses as they thought. Instead, he used the golden cicada to escape from his shell, bypassed the 40,000 soldiers and horses, and killed them all the way towards Xiapi.

Moreover, there was either no movement in Di Qing, or a big movement when there was movement. In addition to Di Qing and the others, Di Qing's soldiers and horses in Langya, Donghai and other counties, and Li Chengliang's Liaodong elite cavalry, all came from all directions. Xia Pi gathered together.

In fact, Langya, Donghai and other counties have been on the road for several days, but it took time for the news to reach Liu Bei.

It can be said that almost all the soldiers and horses that Di Qing can mobilize in Xuzhou have been mobilized by him, and they have gathered from all directions, as if they are going to fight a decisive battle with Liu Bei's forces!

After Liu Bei and Gongsun Yan received the news, after careful consideration, they decided to temporarily give up and continue to attack Liu Heita.

Although Liu Heitai only had one breath left, within two or three days, they could definitely defeat the opponent.

However, this doesn't make any sense!

From Pengcheng to Xiapi, Liu Bei's army was exhausted from such a long period of high-intensity siege battles. Rather than annihilating such a defeated army, it would be better to take advantage of a short period of time to recharge and recharge. The state is ready to challenge the Di Qing tribe who is coming next.

Only by doing this can we get the best chance of winning at the next stop. Instead of attacking a defeated general, they lost the last bit of precious time to recharge their batteries.

In ten days, this battle has reached such an extent. Liu Beijun must have been fighting for his life in these ten days! If they hadn't risked their lives, this battle wouldn't have been fought so quickly. Therefore, they have reached a limit state at this time!

If you want to face a decisive battle next, the remaining pitiful time cannot be wasted at all. You must try your best to let the soldiers who fought the bloody battle for ten days have a good rest.

There is not much difference in the strength of the two sides. Liu Bei's army is not much more powerful than Di's army!

However, Liu Bei's soldiers were more sophisticated. In addition to the white horse Yi Cong, he also pulled out a Guan Ning cavalry.

Just this Guan Ning cavalry is enough to widen the gap in the quality of the troops and horses between the two sides.

If those thousands of Guanning cavalry are used in a field battle on the plains, if they can be used properly, they can match the combat effectiveness of tens of thousands of infantry. This is definitely not an exaggeration.

Moreover, Liu Bei's will be wider, and they are confident enough in this regard.

Therefore, as long as they lure Di Qing out, they are not afraid of fighting Di Qing!

"General Liu, General Di's troops will arrive soon. We are saved!" After seeing Liu Bei's troops retreat, Chen Gui smiled with relief.

As the No. 1 family in Xiapi, all the preparations Liu Heita made in the city could not be hidden from them, and even everything was coordinated by them.

It was precisely because of this that he knew how crazy Liu Heitai was. Not only did he build fortresses from the most important houses on both sides of Xiapi City, he also set up a large number of fortresses. Traps and even poison were used.

In addition, fire starters were placed and prepared throughout the city, clearly intending to burn the city down at the last moment.

During the war, other people burned the city with good intentions, as a way of holding back the enemy's strength. As long as the enemy devoted troops to put out the fire, the fire was generally unlikely to spread excessively.

But Chen Gui knew that this was clearly a lunatic. From the beginning when he was preparing to set the fire, he had no intention of controlling the fire. Once the fire breaks out, it is almost impossible to control it. Of course, the reason why Chen Gui did not stop Liu Heitai, and even helped Liu Heitai hide it from other aristocratic families in the city, was because although this man was a madman, he was also a rational madman.

While he was preparing to burn the city crazily, he also quietly prepared a secret passage.

If it weren't for the fact that there was such a way out, Chen Gui wouldn't be willing to play with this lunatic. But since there is already a way out, it's up to him.

As for the people in this city, it is obvious that Chen Gui is also someone who can be ruthless.

Fortunately, no matter what considerations Liu Beijun had, he did not continue to fight in. However, if he could not go to this last step, it would naturally be good for Chen Gui.

"We should barely be able to assemble three thousand combatable troops in our hands. Gather them together and entertain them with delicious food and drinks for the past two days. Let these brothers recharge their batteries until General Di arrives. It’s time to fight hard!”

Although I don't know what purpose Di Qing and the others have in leaving Pengcheng, the next battle will definitely be extremely difficult. Therefore, this famous general who has risen from humble beginnings must be prepared.

Although Chen Gui was a little lucky that he didn't have to burn the city in the end, Liu Heitai was a little disappointed. If the last fire really burned, wouldn't it be easy for Liu Beijun to kill the opponent's 20,000 to 30,000 troops no matter how quick his reaction was? This is still calculated on the younger side!

Liu Heitai asked the 3000 men he selected to recharge their batteries at this time, not because he only had these 3000 troops, but because these 3000 troops could be of great use, and the rest of the troops were either The soldiers and horses of the aristocratic families whose combat effectiveness is relatively weak are either the wounded in this battle.

Only these three thousand combat power can help Di Qing in the future.

On this side, Liu Bei and Gongsun Yan were also discussing the next battle.

Although, they seemed to have achieved their goal, Di Qing finally escaped from the turtle shell, which was a good thing no matter how you looked at it!

However, the timing of Di Qing's appearance is a bit wrong!

If they were really desperate, there would be absolutely no problem in getting rid of Liu Heitai's group before Di Qing arrived. Today, this choice is made to be on the safe side.

However, if they don't move safely, what's the use of Di Qing sending troops at this time?

Therefore, although it is a good thing that Di Qing came out, it is normal for people like Gongsun Yan to have some doubts about the unusual situation hidden behind this incident.

However, they probed left and right, checking all the situations in Xuzhou where Di Qing could use his own troops and horses, but still found no useful traces.

Although there are some doubts about this matter, it cannot shake Liu Bei and Gongsun Yan's plans for this battle, let alone their confidence in fighting this battle.

If they miss this opportunity, once Di Qing's troops shrink into the turtle shell of Pengcheng again, then they will really be able to look at the city and sigh.
