Han Shimou

Chapter 872 The Battle of Xiangyang

After Cao Cao heard this, just when everyone thought that Cao Cao would be furious and scolded Cao Ren, Cao Cao laughed. **

"Hahaha!!! Zhuge Piff is really resourceful, he is worthy of being a lonely confidant!"

Cao Cao laughed suavely, and soon Dian Wei and Cao Hong led the remnant soldiers to arrive, and both generals got off their horses and knelt down to plead guilty.Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and smiled pleasantly, as if he didn't feel annoyed at all because of his defeat.Only Cao Cao said with a smile.

"Victory and defeat are common in military families. Zhuge Liang is an outstanding man in the world. His wisdom is high, and he is no less inferior than Jiang Ziya of Xingzhou and Zhang Zifang of Wanghan. You should use this defeat as a lesson for the past, and everyone will fight against him in the future , we must be cautious, and we must not underestimate the enemy at all!!!”

As soon as Cao Cao said this, all the generals kept it in their hearts.Cao Cao didn't dare to order the army to rush again, so he ordered all the troops to go down to the stronghold to rest and recharge their batteries.

Therefore, Cao Cao ordered the three armies to occupy the village at the foot of the mountain more than [-] miles outside the city of Xiangyang, covering the mountains and wilderness.Zhuge Liang sent scouts to find out, knowing that Cao Cao dared not rush to attack, he immediately ordered the soldiers in the city to prepare various defense materials for the upcoming offensive and defensive battle.

A few days later, Cao Cao mobilized the three armies, ordered Xia Houyuan to lead [-] soldiers and horses to guard the camp, and raised [-] troops to attack Xiangyang City aggressively.Zhang Fei heard that Cao Cao had led an army to kill him, so he quickly challenged Zhuge Liang to fight.Zhuge Liang saw that Zhang Fei's fighting spirit was high, and it was not easy to dampen his ambition, so he immediately ordered Zhang Fei to be cautious in everything and never underestimate the enemy.Zhang Fei laughed out loud when he heard Zhuge Liang's promise, and said straight to remember, but he didn't take Zhuge Liang's words to heart.

Zhang Fei ordered an army of [-] horsemen and led them out of the city to meet the enemy.Seeing Zhang Fei leading the army out of the city, Cao Cao immediately ordered the army to prepare for battle.When he was young, Zhang Fei also led [-] soldiers to form a formation, and the two formations faced each other.Zhang Fei got out of the horse, ran out of the formation, pointed at Cao Cao with the Zhang Ba Snake Spear, and yelled harshly.

"Cao Mengde, your three generations of the Cao family have been Han officials, and you are deeply favored by the emperor. But you are greedy, control the country, and hold the current emperor hostage. You are actually a generation who deceived the emperor and destroyed the ancestors. How is it different from beasts!?"

Cao Cao laughed angrily when he heard the words, looked around at the generals behind him, and shouted.

"Whoever dares to fight, kill this ignorant madman!!!"

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Xu Chu let out a loud roar, rushed out in response, and went straight to fetch Zhang Fei.When Zhang Fei saw Xu Chu approaching, he grinned and patted his horses to meet him quickly.Xu Chu slapped his horse and wielded his sword to kill him, while Zhang Fei fought with his spear.The swords and spears of the two kept colliding with each other, and the offensive continued fiercely. The spears moved like a storm, and the swords moved like a sky-shattering force. They twisted a fierce battle, killing the soldiers of the two armies in shock.Zhang Fei stared wide-eyed, Xu Chu opened strange eyes, the two roared like tigers and roared like tigers and leopards, and they both used their weapons with all their might, and fought for fifty or sixty rounds, with neither winning nor losing. (.)

Zhang Fei's offensive continued continuously and was extremely powerful.Cao Cao was startled when he saw it, and looked back at the generals under the gate flag and said.

"This Yide does not diminish the bravery of the general king Lu Bu!!!"

Without further ado, there were exclamations from left and right.Cao Cao looked back anxiously, only to see Xu Chu slashing with all his strength, Zhang Fei was extremely agile, and dodged it, and at the same time stabbed out with a spear, flying straight towards Xu Chu's face.Xu Chu swung the saber sideways, and the snake spear collided in shock. There was a loud bang, and sparks shot out.Xu Chu and his horse retreated a few meters, Zhang Fei rushed to kill.

Seeing that Xu Chu was in critical condition, Xu Chu let out a loud roar and slashed three times with his knife.The first slash hit Zhang Fei's snake spear, and the second slash was raised, with a single stroke, Zhang Fei tilted his head, and the blade almost brushed the bridge of Zhang Fei's nose.Just as Zhang Fei was about to fight back, the third knife came back quickly, slashing back and flying towards Zhang Fei.The sound of the knife breaking was like the roar of a giant tiger.Zhang Feihuan's eyes showed a slight look of shock, his muscles all over his body tensed up, and he pierced the sky with a spear, and the sound of the spear piercing the void was like the hissing of a leopard.Between the lightning and flint, the swords and spears collided impressively, and the two fought with all their strength, and the two faces became particularly ferocious.

Zhang Fei stared wide-eyed, and with a cry, he suddenly withdrew the snake spear.Xu Chu didn't expect it, and the saber style was falling.Zhang Fei swung the snake spear and struck Xu Chu's chest with a spear. Xu Chu was swept by Zhang Fei, his strange eyes seemed about to burst, enduring the severe pain, he slashed away, and a fierce spark was split on Zhang Fei's armor.

Sparks flashed past, and the two war horses neighed.The two reined in their horses and retreated almost at the same time.Xu Chu stared at Zhang Fei and gritted his teeth, while Zhang Fei stared at Xu Chu firmly, grinning.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and this black servant's martial arts are a bit stronger!!!"

Xu Chu thought to himself.At the same time, Zhang Fei was also thinking in secret.

"This Xu Zhongkang is still so difficult!!!"

After a while, Xu Chu suddenly patted the horse, reined in and retreated.Zhang Fei thought that Xu Chu had lost strength and wanted to escape, so he grinned and laughed, and immediately chased after him, shouting loudly after him.

"Xu Zhongkang, you are not a hero who escaped!!!"

Xu Chu ignored Zhang Fei's scolding, and galloped on his horse, while secretly casting glances at Xia Houyuan who was in the formation.Xia Houyuan understood it, and immediately held down the gun, grabbed the bow and arrow, and was ready to attack at any time.

In the city, Zhuge Liang saw Zhang Fei chasing Xu Chu anxiously, his expression changed, and he shouted anxiously to Pan Feng beside him.

"Not good! Xu Zhongkang still has the power to fight fiercely, but he deliberately retreated, it must be a fraud!!! General Pan, quickly lead the army out of the city and prepare to respond!"

When Pan Feng heard the words, he was afraid that Zhang Fei would make a mistake, so without saying a word, he immediately rushed down to the city and led his troops out of the city.

Xu Chu suddenly slowed down his horse on purpose, and Zhang Fei was delighted to see that he was getting closer and closer.Suddenly, Xu Chu turned around sharply, and the tiger-headed saber flew up like a bolt of lightning.Zhang Fei turned pale in shock, and quickly raised his spear to block it.

There was a loud bang.Xu Chu's saber was so violent that he split Zhang Fei and his horse.At the same time, there was a loud sound of bowstrings, and the sound of arrows flying. When Zhang Fei felt the arrow shot from behind, the arrow was already in front of him.

Zhang Fei couldn't resist, and the arrow hit Zhang Fei's helmet with a whoosh.Zhang Fei let out a miserable cry and fell off his horse.Xu Chu was overjoyed, and was about to dismount from his horse to cut off Zhang Fei's head.Unexpectedly, just as Xu Chu jumped off the horse, Zhang Fei, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly had a seizure, and rushed towards Xu Chu like a black panther.Unexpectedly, Xu Chu realized that Zhang Fei was cheating to death, and when he came to his senses, Zhang Fei's burly and huge body had already rushed towards him.As soon as Xu Chu was thrown down by Zhang Fei, a pair of casserole iron fists hit Xu Chu's head.Xu Chu was punched several times by Zhang Fei, and he felt dizzy for a while, knowing that he must not continue to be rampant by Zhang Fei, otherwise he would definitely be beaten to death by him.Xu Chu shouted violently, grabbed Zhang Fei's wrist with both hands suddenly, and pulled Zhang Fei down with force from his lower back.The two grabbed onto the ground and fought, tearing their battle robes to pieces.When the soldiers of the two armies saw it, they thought that two wild beasts were biting.

At this moment, two soldiers rushed out.It was Zhang Jaw and Xiahou Dun.The two had heard Cao Cao's military order early on and came to besiege and kill Zhang Fei.Hearing the sound of horseshoes, Zhang Fei knew that Cao Cao must have sent people to surround and kill him.Zhang Fei was angry from the heart, and the evil turned to his guts. He gritted his steel teeth, roared, grabbed Xu Chu with both hands, and slammed his head towards Xu Chu's face.Xu Chu was hit hard and let out a miserable cry. He felt his brain roaring, his eyes were so painful that he couldn't open them, it was pitch black, and he was so angry that he punched wildly.Zhang Fei took the opportunity to escape and jumped back to his mount. Seeing Xia Houdun and Zhang Jaw approaching, he pulled out his horse and fled.

"Hahaha!!! You are not a hero by waiting too much to bully the few. Grandpa Zhang will not accompany you!!!"

Xiahou Dun and Zhang Jai were so angry that they told Zhang Fei to stop and fight.After a while, Xu Chu's eyesight recovered, and hearing Zhang Fei's arrogant words, he was so angry that he rushed straight to his mount, chasing Zhang Fei after flattering the horse.

Zhang Fei galloped all the way and retreated to the formation. Seeing that Xiahou Dun and Zhang Jai were still coming, he immediately ordered the crossbowmen in the formation to shoot arrows. Thousands of arrows were fired at once. Xiahou Dun and Zhang Jai quickly reined in their horses to block.

After a while, Pan Feng rushed over, stared at her with wide eyes.Xu Chu also rushed to Xiahou Dun and Zhang Jai, and the two generals stared at each other.For a while, no one dared to kill easily.

Fearing that Xiahoudun, Xu Chu, Zhang Jai and others would make mistakes, Cao Cao ordered Xiahouyuan and Dianwei to go out to plunder.Seeing that another fierce general came out of Cao's formation, Pan Feng hurriedly cast eye contact with Zhang Fei.Zhang Fei understood it, and quickly ordered the army to retreat.Seeing the situation, Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu, and Zhang Jai immediately slapped their horses and followed behind to hide and kill them. After chasing for a while, Pan Feng and Zhang Fei rushed to fight to buy time for the army to evacuate.Pan Feng and Zhang Fei are extremely skilled in martial arts, Xia Houdun, Xu Chu, and Zhang Jai can't defeat the two of them.

When I was young, all Jingzhou soldiers and horses entered the city.General Cao came from behind, Pan Feng and Zhang Fei rushed to escape, Xia Houdun, Xu Chu and Zhang Jai didn't dare to pursue him.

Cao Cao took the opportunity to drive his troops to the foot of Nanyang City. After Pan Feng and Zhang Fei entered the city, they closed their doors.Cao Cao quickly ordered an army of [-] to surround Xiangyang City,

He scolded the defenders in the city to fight.Zhuge Liang saw that Cao Cao was powerful, so how could he go into battle easily, and ordered his soldiers to guard closely, but when he saw Cao Jun approaching, he immediately shot them with random arrows and blocked them with flying stones.

Cao cao personally rode his horse and went forward to investigate. He saw that the city moat was very wide and the water was deep, making it difficult to approach the city.If they attack forcefully, they will suffer heavy losses.Cao Cao thought that Sun Ce would send troops to attack Jingzhou at any time in Jiangdong, and he was not in a hurry to confront Zhuge Liang head-on. He immediately ordered the soldiers to carry soil and fill the trenches under the city, and then used earthen cloth bags and firewood. Step stools, and set up cloud ladders to peek into the city.The Jingzhou defenders on the city looked anxious, and Zhang Fei asked Zhuge Liang to fight many times, but Zhuge Liang was not necessarily impatient, but calm and calm.

In other words, Cao Cao personally rode around the city to observe it and inquired about the surrounding terrain of Xiangyang City, and stayed like this for three days.Three days later, Cao Cao urgently sought out Guo Jia for a discussion, and Guo Jia said with a smile.

"According to what your majesty said, the color of the bricks and soil in the southeast corner of the city varies from old to new, and most of the antlers are destroyed. It must be caused by the old war. If your majesty gathers all the troops to attack, it will not take one night to break through the female wall and enter the city. However, there are many defenders in the city. With Zhuge Liang's wisdom, how can we not detect our intentions. Your Majesty can falsely go to the northwest to accumulate grass, pretending to be a prestige, so that Zhuge Liang can gather troops to guard the northwest. Order the army to fight towards the southeast corner, so Xiangyang City can be broken!!!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed to hear the plan, and said with a smile.

"Hahaha!!! The plan of filial piety coincides with Guyi!"

Cao Cao then ordered the soldiers to pile up firewood at the corner of the west gate, gather all the generals, and go to the city there.Pan Feng and Zhang Fei in the city saw such a scene, they rushed to find Zhuge Liang, told Cao Cao that he would gather [-] soldiers and horses to attack the west gate, and advised Zhuge Liang to withdraw the soldiers and horses in the city to the west gate to prevent Cao Bing from doing things.

Zhuge Liang heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he smiled.

"Two generals, don't be impatient."
