After waiting for several days, the large troops led by Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Zhang Jia finally arrived in Pengcheng. Of course Xiahou Dun saw the fire in the city a few nights ago, but the cautious Xiahou Dun chose to stand still, but
I didn't know that I missed an excellent opportunity.
Now that the army has been reunited, Xiahou Dun stopped delaying, gathered his troops, and launched an attack on Pengcheng! There is a reason why Yan Liang and others delayed for so long. After capturing Xiaopei, they will attack Pengcheng next.
, it was definitely not enough for Xiahou Dun to defeat the remaining 20,000 men in Xiaopei, so before Xiahou Dun came to Pengcheng, he sent people back to Yanzhou to ask Cao Cao for reinforcements. Cao Cao naturally agreed to Xiahou Dun's request and waved his hand.
, and mobilized another 20,000 troops. In this way, Xiahou Dun had a full 40,000 troops, which was enough to attack Pengcheng!
Without any tricks, Xiahou Dun asked Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Jaw and Ma Chao to besiege Pengcheng from the four city gates. Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Zhang Jaw, these three famous generals in Hebei were all capable generals, and the siege battle was also difficult.
This was not the first time. The only person who made Xiahou Dun a little worried was Ma Chao.
Practice and hone Ma Chao's abilities. After all, Ma Chao's skills are so good. It would be too wasteful to keep him by your side all the time. Not everyone is as lucky as Luo Yang, who has so many top players to spend on.
of.
At the top of Pengcheng City, Liu Bei's face changed when he saw that Wei Jun chose to besiege him. Wei Jun's move could be regarded as pinching Liu Bei's lifeline. Now what Liu Bei lacks the most is a general! He frowned.
He glanced left and right, and then shouted: "Uncle Zhi! You take two thousand people to the east of the city! Zifang! You take two thousand people to the north of the city! Uh, Xianhe! You take three thousand people to the south of the city!" Think about it!
After repeated attempts, Liu Bei's men could no longer find any generals to garrison the north of the city, so in the end they had no choice but to send Jian Yong. Originally, Pengcheng was not without generals, but the local generals in Pengcheng were basically members of the Cao family.
Liu Bei took over the Cao family a few days ago. Although he controlled the entire Pengcheng army, he also lacked many available generals. However, although Jian Yong was a civil servant, he followed Liu Bei through so many bloody storms, and Liu Bei also
I specially sent him a thousand more people, so they should be able to resist for a while!
Recalling Qin Mi's words before, Liu Bei gritted his teeth and turned to look at the people outside the city who had begun to attack here. He waved his hand and shouted: "The whole army is ready!" In Liu Bei's heart, he was secretly thinking
Cheer yourself up: hold on! As long as you can hold on for a few days, reinforcements will come!
It's a pity that although Liu Bei's idea was good, the reality was cruel. The Wei army obviously did not intend to delay the battle for too long. After Xiahou Dun gave an order, the four generals led their troops and launched an extremely violent attack on their respective targets.
A fierce offensive! The siege battle was going on on the four walls of Pengcheng. Fortunately, although the Wei army had the advantage, with the support of the city walls, the Chu army defending the city still kept the Wei army out of the city. It was just at the top of the city.
The battle was too brutal. In just two hours, more than half of the troops on all four sides of the city were lost. Liu Bei frowned when he heard the news coming from the other three city gates.
Although the enemy has temporarily retreated, they are only taking a short rest. It is only noon now, and they will definitely continue to attack the city in the afternoon! Liu Bei never expected that the Wei army's offensive would be so fierce. Looking at the corpses piled around him, the air
The air was filled with the unpleasant smell of blood and burnt paste. Fortunately, Liu Bei had been on the battlefield for a long time and had long been used to it. Immediately, Liu Bei turned to the left and right and shouted: "Clean up the battlefield! Send all the wounded soldiers down."
!”
"Lord! Don't send me down!" A soldier stood up slowly while holding on to the female wall, and shouted to Liu Bei: "The villain can still fight! Please help the villain, my lord!" When Liu Bei saw it, it was
He recognized that this man was a veteran who had been following him for many years. This veteran had been lucky enough to survive so many battles before, but this time he was not so lucky. Under his right leg, there was a short length, but it was empty.
The enemy chopped off the entire calf of his right leg. He had just been bandaged briefly, but the bleeding was barely stopped.
Liu Bei looked at the veteran, and his eye circles suddenly turned red. He walked quickly to the veteran, helped him sit down, gently patted the veteran on the shoulder, and sighed: "Brother! You are injured, so you have to go and recuperate."
!You have followed me, Liu Bei, for so many years, and I will never treat you badly! Don’t worry! Someone is here! Help this brother down!"
Liu Bei's few words made the veteran's eyes well up with tears. He immediately fell to the ground and shouted to Liu Bei: "My lord! This villain's injury is nothing! I still have both hands to wield a knife."
!Even if his hands are broken, the villain still has teeth! Please keep the villain, my lord! The villain is willing to die fighting for the lord, and he will not let the enemy attack the city!"
"Yes! Lord! Leave us alone!" The veteran had just finished speaking. Around him, the wounded soldiers also knelt down one after another. Many of them were disabled like the veteran, but their
His face was full of fighting spirit, he wished he could rush out of the city and fight the Wei army right now!
Seeing the actions of these soldiers, Liu Bei's tears flowed down. He stood upright, bowed to these soldiers, and said: "Brothers! You entrust your lives to me.
Now that we have ended up like this, how can I bear to let you continue to fight hard?" Liu Bei said this sincerely. Looking at these soldiers with their hands and feet cut off, even a hard-hearted person can't stand it!
"Lord!" The same veteran from before, with the support of his comrades, stood up unsteadily and shouted to Liu Bei: "We are ordinary people, but we are bullied by that corrupt official every day. We don't know how to live our lives."
Next meal, I don’t know what my life will be like tomorrow! It is because of the Lord that we can straighten our backs and our families can have enough food to eat and clothes to wear! Now is the time for us to repay the Lord for his great kindness! Please forgive me, Lord!
"
"Please, Lord!" Under the leadership of the veteran, all the wounded soldiers bowed to Liu Bei and shouted in unison. And those soldiers who were not injured were also exaggerated by this atmosphere and shouted loudly.
The ground echoed.
Seeing the soldiers' request, Liu Bei could only nod with a wry smile and said: "In that case! Then Liu Bei has no choice but to agree to you! Here, I also swear an oath to you brothers! As long as I, Liu Bei, can get through this,
I will definitely not treat you brothers badly in the future! Even if my brothers die in this battle, I will take care of their families and I will never let them suffer!"
"Thank you, Lord!" In this era, it is natural for soldiers to die in war. After the soldiers die, the most they can do is to give their families a pension, which is considered a favor. But if Liu Bei makes a promise like this, then
But it was a unique thing. Liu Bei's promise boosted the morale of the soldiers, and they all shouted loudly. This kind of military spirit and morale can be put to good use!
In the south of the city, the war was much bleaker. After all, Jian Yong was a civil servant. If he was talking nonsense, Jian Yong was not bad at it, but commanding and fighting was not Jian Yong's strong point. Although Liu Bei sent more troops to Jian Yong.
One thousand people, but after this battle, Jian Yong suffered the most serious losses on all sides of the city gates! Of the three thousand soldiers and horses, there are now less than a thousand people left, including some wounded soldiers who have lost their combat effectiveness. Obviously, this kind of
The situation is no longer able to withstand the next wave of attacks.
Outside the city, the person responsible for attacking the south of the city was none other than the famous Hebei general Yan Liang. At this moment, Yan Liang had ordered his troops and horses to form their formation again outside the city. During the battle just now, Yan Liang watched carefully.
Yan Liang is confident that he will not be able to fight. He can take down the city in one go. It seems that the first victory in breaking the city will fall into his hands today!
Thinking of this, Yan Liang couldn't help but grin. Although he and Wen Chou, Zhang Zha and the others were brothers on weekdays and their friendship was pretty good, sometimes they still had to compete for the credit! Immediately, Yan Liang thrust the big knife in his hand forward.
He pointed and shouted loudly: "Listen! The first one to attack the city will be rewarded heavily by this general! Give it to me..."
"General!" When Yan Liang was about to order the soldiers to charge, suddenly, a soldier beside Yan Liang looked back and shouted to Yan Liang: "Look behind you!"
His high-spirited order was interrupted. Of course Yan Liang felt unhappy, but he still subconsciously looked back and was stunned. Behind Yan Liang's army was an endless plain, and at this moment, at the end of the plain,
On the horizon in the distance, you can vaguely see a horse speeding towards this side.
Although it was a bit strange, Yan Liang didn't react at all. He curled his lips and hummed: "Take a team of people and catch that rider for me! Others, continue to attack the city wall for me!" Yan Liang was unwilling to do so.
Yan Liang would regret it to death if he wasted time for such a ride and missed his first victory over the city because of this!
Not only did Yan Liang not take that horse seriously, even the team of men sent by Yan Liang to capture that horse were very unhappy, because if this happened, they would definitely miss the siege battle. Just now Yan Liang was
A heavy reward has been promised, isn't this a clear sign that they missed this opportunity? Thinking of this, every one of the Wei army soldiers looked at the approaching Yiqi with resentment, and they had secretly made up their minds.
Idea, if you catch this guy later, you must take care of him!
