Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Tao Qian would not be so stupid as to lead the soldiers out of the city to fight Cao Jun in a field battle, ordering the soldiers to hold on to the city, Xuzhou has enough food and grass, as long as the city is defended.

After Cao Bao returned to Pengcheng, he hurriedly boarded the city wall and organized soldiers to shoot Cao soldiers. Cao soldiers were eager to fill up the moat, so the defense must be small.

Cao Jun's soldiers didn't fight back either. They saw a soldier throwing a cloth bag behind the moat, then hurriedly turned around and retreated to provide space for the soldiers behind him. Bags of dirt and dust were thrown into the moat, causing waves to move. The soldiers naturally became the live targets of the Xuzhou Army's archery training. Whenever the Xuzhou Army shot and killed a Cao Jun soldier, they would always be excited for a long time. In order to defend the city, Tao Qian also increased his bargaining chips. Soldiers, rewarding hundreds of coins greatly stimulated the morale of the soldiers.

After a day's work, the moat really allowed Cao Jun to fill in a small section, but Cao Jun also paid the price of more than a thousand soldiers. Such casualties have never been encountered before Pengcheng. Cao Cao wanted to learn from the Xiliang Army to send cavalry to assist The siege, but there are very few cavalry cavalry of Cao's army who are skilled in archery, not to mention that there are such powerful defensive weapons as bed crossbows on the city. Cao Cao saw the loss of cavalry not far away. fill up.

According to this progress, the moat will be completely filled in half a month, but the Xuzhou army will start to play offensive and defensive games with the Cao army. Although the Xuzhou army has many soldiers, Cao Cao is confident that it will be captured.

Ten days later, Liu Bei led 5000 troops to Pengcheng to help in the battle, and Tao Qian went out of the city to greet him in person.

Liu Bei cupped his hands and said, "When Bei was in trouble, Master Tao helped him. Now that Xuzhou is suffering from a military disaster, Bei will come here to help you defend the city, so that Cao's army cannot advance an inch."

"Xuande is a man of benevolence and righteousness. I hate that Cao Cao, regardless of green or red, led an army to invade Xuzhou. The people in the counties along the way were all killed. Now they are filling the moat outside the city. It will be filled in a few days. I hope Xuande will help me defend the city." Tao Qian said.

Guan Yu, who was behind Liu Bei, said coldly: "Thieves Cao led the army to attack Yuzhou in the past, ignoring the people, and doing such military affairs because of family affairs, so why talk about a loyal minister of a big man, who bullies the king and ignores his superiors."

"Brother, let me, Lao Zhang, lead the troops out of the city to fight for a while, and destroy the morale of Cao's army." Zhang Fei shouted.

Liu Bei turned his head and scolded: "Don't be rude."

"Master Tao, this is the second and third younger brothers who are humble. The generals in the army have no rules. Don't blame me." Liu Bei looked a little apologetic.

Tao Qian cast his eyes on Zhang Fei and Guan Yu and said, "What a strong general! There is such a strong general in the city, why worry that Cao's army will not be defeated!"

Received Tao Qian's appreciation, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also showed joy on their faces, the status of a warrior is always lower than that of a civil servant, not to mention Tao Qian, a well-known state shepherd, to be appreciated by him is a great honor for a military commander.

Under the leadership of Cao Bao, Liu Bei hurried to the city wall. Looking at the densely packed Cao Jun outside the city, the resentment flashed in his eyes. If it wasn't for Cao Jun, Liu Bei is still the Yuzhou Shepherd of the Han Dynasty. After Pi, Liu Bei also practiced soldiers and horses all day long, hoping that one day he could avenge his hatred.

"Second brother and third brother, order the soldiers and horses, and I will meet Cao Mengde when I go out." Liu Bei said.

The city gate was wide open, and the first general, holding a double-strand sword, yelled at Cao Jun's camp: "Cao Mengde please answer before the battle, I am Liu Bei."

But after a while, Cao Cao got the news of Liu Bei calling for the formation outside the camp. The gate of the camp was wide open, the banners were unfurled, and Cao Cao personally led the army out of the battle.

"Xuande is safe and sound!" Cao Cao cupped his hands.

"Shameless man, disregarding the royal family, offending me in Yuzhou that day, and now slaughtering the people of Xuzhou without authorization." Speaking of this, Liu Bei's eyes were red, and the hand holding the sword trembled involuntarily.

Cao Cao said proudly: "I respect you as the pastor of Yuzhou in the past, so I treat you well. I didn't expect you to speak rudely. This general attacked Yuzhou, but it was ordered by the emperor. Yuzhou was ravaged by yellow scarves, and the people suffered for a long time. , Is there anything wrong with this general going out to fight under the order?"

Liu Bei was at a loss for words, he was a member of the royal family, but Cao Cao had the emperor in his hands, "In this case, why did the troops invade Xuzhou this time and slaughter innocent people without authorization."

"Tao Qian just killed my family. If he doesn't take revenge, he swears he won't be a human being. If Xuande is willing to join our army, he will definitely recommend you as Xuzhou Mu in front of the emperor. How about it?"

Without waiting for Liu Bei to answer, a general flashed behind him, and his voice was like thunder, "Cao thief, die!"

With a wave of the Zhang Ba Snake Spear, he patted his horse and came towards Cao Cao alone.

Cao Cao was surprised, but his face showed no fear. Liu Bei's army had a general to help him. How could Cao's army be weaker than others? A general appeared behind him, it was Xiahou Dun, who raised his sword to meet Zhang Fei.

One knife and one spear, the sound of iron and steel clashing can be heard endlessly, Xiahou Dun is powerful, Zhang Fei is even better, the snake spear in his hand is like a snake coming out of a hole, Xiahou Dun is beaten left and right, struggling to resist.

Twenty minutes later, Zhang Fei roared, and the snake spear went straight to Xiahou Dun's head. Xiahou Dun was shocked and hurriedly withdrew the knife to help. Unexpectedly, at this time, the snake spear suddenly changed its course and stabbed Xiahou Dun's horse. Being stabbed by a spear, the war horse became fierce, and Xiahou Dun was thrown off his horse in embarrassment.

Zhang Fei raised his snake spear and stabbed at Xiahoudun's neck. If this blow was carried out, even a god would be unable to heal him.

"Stop the thief!" A voice sternly shouted from behind.

With a sound of "Keng", a long knife resisted the snake spear, but it was Xia Houdun who saw that the situation was critical, rushed to kill him on horseback, and took over Zhang Fei to fight.

Zhang Fei cheered up and fought Xiahoudun again. The soldiers on both sides were stunned. Xiahoudun defeated Cao Baosun Guan in front of the two armies before, and established a great reputation. In the hands of the yelling man, it seems that this black-faced man hasn't tried his best yet, and he will fight another general of Cao Jun again.

The two men and two horses fought in a group, after all, Zhang Fei was superior in art, and Xiahou Dun was only able to parry, but had no power to counterattack. Zhang Fei's snake spear seemed to be endowed with spirituality. His moves are perfect.

Cao Cao sighed: "Zhang Fei is really a mighty general. He used to fight against Lu Bu in front of Hulao Pass and shocked the princes. Now we meet again."

This remark angered a general in the left rear, raised his double halberds, took over Xia Houdun, and charged at Zhang Fei. It was Cao Cao who was protecting Dianwei, with great strength, capable of tearing tigers and leopards apart, and his double halberds were used even more. Cao's proficiency is so good that there are few opponents in Cao's army.

Zhang Fei saw another general in Cao's army killed, instead of retreating, he went forward. With a flick of the snake spear, he stabbed at the right hand of the general holding the halberd.

The two halberds moved slightly, the snake spear was knocked away, and the two horses staggered and cut straight at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was startled, and hurriedly dodged. He didn't expect that General Cao's strength was so great. Even though he fought for a long time, the power of his spear should not be underestimated.

"Can you tell me your name in the future?" Zhang Fei shouted loudly.

"Wu Na Black General, I heard clearly, a certain family is Dian Wei!" After speaking, he slapped his horse and killed him.

Zhang Fei's black face became even darker, "The Black General" raised his snake spear to face Dian Wei.

Dian Wei's double halberds are exquisite, Zhang Fei's spear skills are exquisite, the two fight, only to see people come and go in the field, the halberds are brilliant and the spears are shadowed, it is very exciting.

Cao Bao in the city couldn't close his mouth in surprise. Compared with Dian Wei, Xiahou Dun who fought with him before was not at the same level at all, but Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's subordinate, was even braver. Before, I underestimated this kind-faced Liu Xuande, who always smiled when he saw everyone.

After fifty times, Zhang Fei stared at Dian Wei out of breath.

After eighty rounds, Zhang Fei immediately held his spear and shouted: "Happy!" After saying that, he rushed back to the main formation, but his strength was exhausted.

Seeing Zhang Fei turning around, Guan Yu kicked the horse's belly lightly with both legs, and the horse, like an arrow leaving the string, charged towards Dian Wei in the arena.

Dian Wei saw the generals clearly, his phoenix eyes lay on silkworm eyebrows, his face was like a jujube, as he rode his horse galloping, he seemed to be one with the horse. The long knife gleaming in his hand was shocking. Few of the generals could use it. Such a heavy weapon.

"Dian Wei is to die!" With a flash of light from the saber, Qinglong Yanyue Saber slashed towards Dian Wei with a mighty force.

Dian Wei was shocked, and hastily raised his halberds to meet him. The man and the horse backed up three steps in succession, their faces flushed, and the horse under them also neighed maniacally.

Seeing Dian Wei receive the next knife, Guan Yu swung the long knife in his hand again and slashed at Dian Wei with more force than the first knife.

The anger in Dian Wei's chest was completely aroused, and with a loud roar, the twin halberds rushed forward.

With a sound of "Plop", the war horse under Dian Wei couldn't stand the continuous battle, and knelt down on the ground. Looking at the light of the saber, Dian Wei shook the long halberd in his hand, and a small halberd went towards Guan Yu.

Guan Yu didn't expect Dian Wei to have such a means, he hastily withdrew his sword, "Keng", the back of the sword accurately blocked the small halberd, Dian Wei took this opportunity to flatter his horse and rush back to the main formation.

"Shameless, you can only use such means!" Guan Yu said proudly, but his slightly squinted eyes were also wide open. Dian Wei's martial arts are obviously not inferior to his own. If he hadn't had a fight with Zhang Fei just now, the outcome unknown.

When Cao Cao saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei coming out one after another, his eyes were burning. Both of them had undue courage, and they were placed in the Cao army, and they were also high-ranking generals. With the help of these generals, Cao Cao seemed to have seen a general The scene where the horse is galloping, and the head of the general is taken from the army.

Guan Yu proudly flattered his horse and rushed back to the main formation.

The battle outside the city has greatly boosted the morale of the Xuzhou army. With the help of this brave general in the city, why worry that the Cao army cannot retreat. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu make the defenders yearn for it. Therefore, those with superb martial arts skills are the easiest to get the support of soldiers, otherwise Zhang Fei has such a violent temper, and the soldiers will not stick around.

It took Cao Jun another ten days to completely fill the moat of Pengcheng.
