Reborn in the Three Kingdoms

text

Not long after Yuan Shao launched the campaign, the 20-strong army that was ready to conquer the North left Huguan and went straight to Yecheng. The leading general was Lv Bu, the deputy generals Zhang Jai and Ma Chao, Gao Lan, Gao Shun and other generals accompanied them, and the military advisor was Xu Shu.

An army of 20 marched to the foot of Yecheng, and set up a camp stretching several miles north of Yecheng.

As for Yecheng, there were [-] defenders, led by Xu Huang who abandoned Chen Chu for Cao Cao, with Li Dian and Niu Fu as his deputy.

The three of Xu Huang looked at the strict layout of the camp outside the city that stretched for several miles, with serious expressions. [

The North Army spent a day repairing.On the second day, the gates of the camps of the Zhengbei army were opened wide, and 20 troops of the Zhengbei army poured out from the camps, forming ten large square formations in a short period of time, and then advanced to stop [-] steps outside the city wall.The [-] troops didn't make any noise, the banners were billowing in the wind, and the black armor was connected into one piece, giving people a feeling of being as solid as a rock.

Xu Huang frowned slightly, and said with emotion in his heart: The Northern Army really deserves its reputation!

Xu Huang didn't dare to neglect, and quickly ordered the crossbowmen and catapult troops to prepare, and at the same time ordered the sword and shield soldiers to fight at any time.

The figures on the city wall shuttled back and forth, and there was a kind of tension in the busyness.

The sound of war drums outside the city suddenly sounded, and the [-] troops suddenly shouted.Cao Jun's soldiers on the city wall couldn't help their hearts jumping.

Xu Huang leaned against the wall and looked out, and saw that the formation of Zhengbei Army separated to the two sides, and a horse galloped out at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing this, Xu Huang understood what Zhengbei Army wanted to do.

The rider advanced to a place only a hundred steps away from the city wall and stood still, and shouted: "I am Ma Chao, the general of the northern army, you rats, dare to fight me?"

Hehe, this is a typical generals challenge.

At this time, in the middle army formation, Lu Bu, who was holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, said to Xu Shu who was beside him with some dissatisfaction: "Why do you let Ma Chao challenge? Wouldn't it be better for me to go?".One of the things that Lu Bu is most passionate about is to single-handedly fight against the opponent's generals.

Xu Shu chuckled, "Feng Xian is so powerful in the world, if you go to challenge, I'm afraid no one will dare to come out to fight!"

Lu Bu immediately showed a smug smile, and said proudly: "That's true! Who can Cao Jun's gang of rats be my opponent?"

Xu Shu glanced at Lu Bu with a smile, nodded, and then continued to pay attention to the situation ahead.

On the city wall, Xu Huang looked at the handsome and tough Ma Chao standing on the peerless war horse, and murmured, "I've heard of Ma Chao, he is the son of Ma Teng, and it is said that he is quite famous among the Qiang people." .”

Li Dian looked at the majestic but young Ma Chao under the city wall, and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled. He didn't understand why the other party would send such an unknown warrior to challenge.

Although he thought so in his heart, the cautious Li Dian didn't say anything, let alone ask for a fight.

But Niu Fu was not as careful as Li Dian. When he saw that the opponent was coming out to challenge an unknown young general, he immediately asked Xu Huang to fight, "General Xu, let me kill this general so as to defeat the North." The spirit of the army!"

Niu Fu is very eager to make meritorious deeds in order to improve his status in Cao's army.For Xu Huang, who has been reused by Cao Cao, Niu Fu is very envious!

After thinking for a while, Xu Huang agreed to Niu Fu's fight. Xu Huang also hoped to test the opponent's reality and at the same time frustrate the opponent's spirit. [

Immediately, the city gate was half opened, and Niu Fu galloped out with a copper ring and broadsword in his hand.

When he came ten steps ahead of Ma Chao's horse, Niu Fu held down his horse and shouted, "I am General Niu Fu, and I am here to take your head!"

Ma Chao sneered, without answering, and immediately urged the Jueying war horse to gallop towards Niu Fu.

The dragon cavalry gun was held hostage on the right side, with a high and stern imposing manner.

Niu Fu shouted loudly and rode up to meet him.But before he could take two steps, Ma Chao had already come in front of him, Niu Fu couldn't help being surprised, he didn't expect the speed of his horse to be so fast.

The dragon cavalry spear spun in Ma Chao's hand, and then went straight to Niu Fu's throat, as fast as lightning.

Niu Fu's face turned pale immediately, and he tried his best to raise the knife to block it, but before it could touch the dragon cavalry spear with the copper ring sword, the dragon cavalry spear had already passed through Niu Fu's neck.At that moment, Niu Fu's face showed

Horrified beyond belief.

The two cavalry passed by each other, and Niu Fu's body was picked up by the dragon cavalry spear.

Cao Jun's soldiers, who were cheering for Niu Fu vigorously, suddenly stopped their voices as if someone had strangled their necks.The shouts of the generals of the Northern Army suddenly became louder.

Xu Huang looked at Ma Chao, the majestic General of the Beibei Army not far from the city, with a look of surprise on his face. He never expected that Ma Chao would pick and kill Niu Fu, who was very skilled in martial arts, in just one round.Li Dian on the side also showed a look of astonishment.

Ma Chao carried Niu Fu's body around the city slowly, and there was the sound of crows and sparrows on the city wall.

At this time, Xu Shu, who was in the middle army, said to Lu Bu excitedly, "General Ma Chao can be recalled, and the catapults are ordered to go forward, and the second battalion of the vanguard is ready."

Lu Bu nodded, and then gave the order to the herald around him accordingly.

The order was passed down, and the northern army immediately moved into action. The two vanguard battalions at the forefront, with a total of [-] soldiers, slowly advanced to a place about [-] steps away from the city wall and stopped. In the middle, the cloth is behind the second battalion of the forward.

Just as the northern army was campaigning, Ma Chao had already returned to the Chinese army, holding a human head in his hand.

"Military division, general, the last general has fulfilled his mission!" After saying that, he threw the head on the ground, and this head belonged to the unlucky Niu Fu.

Lu Bu laughed, "Meng Qi did a good job!".Not only did he do a good job, he should have done it very beautifully, but for the brave and brave Lu Bu, this matter is really just a good job.

Xu Shu ordered Niu Fu's head to be taken away, and then said to Ma Chao, "Meng Qi won the first battle, and the morale of the enemy army was severely damaged, it should be credited!"

Ma Chao smiled lightly and said, "I just beheaded a famous person, what credit can I say? After I behead Xu Huang, the military commander will credit me for it!"

Xu Shu chuckled, "Niu Fu is not a famous person, he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. But General Meng Qi has such pride, I really appreciate it!"

At this time, Lu Bu on the side smiled and said: "Xu Huang is mine, you don't have to think about Meng Qi!"

Ma Chao said to Lu Bu without hesitation, "That's not necessarily the case!"

The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be a spark between them, and the two who were equally proud had already competed.

Everyone looked at the two with smiles on their faces.Zhang Ja, Gao Lan, and Gao Shun were originally quite dissatisfied with Ma Chao's high position as the lieutenant general, but now that they have seen Ma Chao's amazing martial arts, they have all sincerely admired them.

After the formation of the [-] troops from the vanguard battalion and the preparation of the catapult troop, the herald rode up to Lu Bu and asked for instructions, "General, the artillery is ready, can we launch an attack?"

Lu Buhong said: "The artillery has started to attack. After ten rounds of attacks, the vanguard battalion launched an attack!"

The herald agreed, and then went down to deliver the order.The battle flag was ordered to be waved, and the war drum was beaten with a special rhythm.

The ordered catapult troops began to launch long-range attacks following the officer's order.Huge stones as many as millstones were thrown high into the sky, and then rained down on the city wall.

Accompanied by a shocking dull bang, a cloud of dust rose up and down the city wall and in the houses behind the city wall, broken wood and bricks flew all over the sky, and heart-piercing screams were also mixed with it.

Xu Huang had already withdrawn most of the soldiers on the city wall to the inner side of the city wall, relying on the cover of the city wall to avoid the earth-shattering long-range attack of the northern army.But even so, the soldiers staying on the city wall and those inside the city were still killed and injured by the boulders falling from the sky.

Standing in a blind corner, Xu Huang looked at the dust rising up in front of him and the broken wood and broken bricks flying all over the sky, with a serious expression on his expression.It's not that Xu Huang didn't want to fight back, but Cao Jun's catapults were far less sharp than those of the Zhengbei Army, and their catapults couldn't hit the Zhengbei Army at all.

The catapult kept throwing boulders, and Xu Shu paid close attention to the situation on the city wall.Suddenly, several boulders fell on the gate tower together, and with a burst of smoke, the gate tower collapsed.

Xu Shu narrowed his eyes, then said to Lu Bu: "

General, you can order the vanguard battalion to attack immediately! "

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and said, "But the artillery attack is not over yet!"

"General, there is nothing wrong with listening to me!"

Lu Bu nodded, and then ordered the herald, "Order the forward battalion to attack immediately! At the same time, order the artillery to stop attacking!"

"Wait." Xu Shu interrupted Lu Bu suddenly. "It is not necessary to order the artillery to stop attacking, but only to order the artillery to stop attacking when the vanguard battalion approaches the city wall."

Lu Bu was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any questions. Instead, he said to the herald, "Do it!"

The sound of the war drums changed immediately, and the commander of the Qianfeng Battalion was slightly surprised, but without delay, he immediately drew out his horizontal knife and shouted: "Fanfeng Battalion follow me to attack the city!"

The [-] vanguard battalion began to advance amidst the rumbling attack of the catapults, and the ladders, flying arms and city-rushing vehicles were at the forefront. ! ~!
