The distant and long sound of horns and the fierce sound of war drums resounded across the sky. On the endless yellow land, the two armies were like black ant colonies, advancing from east to west and sweeping towards Xiaopei City. The hunting flags were obscured by the fluttering flags.
Under the scorching sun, the towering spears and halberds reflected the cold sky, and the black armor gathered into a ferocious sea of tears. Liu Bei's army and Cao Cao's army finally reached the city!
Chen Gong stood solemnly on the tower of Xiaopei City, letting the streamers of the flags slap against his thin face. His bloodshot eyes were deep, and he said silently in his heart: "What should have come~~ has come, dust to dust.
, return to earth, everything is about to end, it is about to end!" At this moment, Chen Gong's expression showed an unprecedented calmness.
The first night after the troops arrived at the city was spent in a calm state. Liu Bei and Cao Ren's armies did not launch an attack overnight, not even a tentative feint attack, but Chen Gong, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao did not dare.
There is no care at all!
It turns out that after Cao Cao and Zuo Aoran divided their forces, they immediately ordered the troops to march into Xiaopei, with Cao Ren as the vanguard. Cao Ren first relieved Liu Bei from the difficulties, and the two groups of troops split into two groups and rushed to Xiaopei's walls, leading to the current situation.
.
The night was fading and the stars were dim. Chen Gong's thin figure stood solemnly at the top of Xiaopei City. Looking outside the city through the faint starlight, a total of 60,000 troops had set up a camp that stretched for dozens of miles outside Xiaopei City. As far as the eye could see,
It was full of undulating dome tents. The enemy general seemed to be well versed in the art of encircling three and one in a row. He surrounded the east, north and west gates with water, except that there was no battalion outside the south gate.
account.
“Chachacha~~~~”
Amidst the sound of heavy footsteps, Generals Gao Shun and Zhang Liao boarded the city tower together. Zhang Liao stepped forward, stood side by side with Chen Gong, looked at the city and said: "It seems that everything will be fine tonight, but tomorrow the enemy will launch a fierce attack."
It's time!" After Zhang Liao said this, he turned to look at Chen Gong's thin face and whispered, "Mr. Chen Gong, you have done everything you need to do, and the rest will be left to the last general and General Gao Shun.
Well, please evacuate this place overnight."
"Nonsense!" Chen Gong frowned and said: "General Lu entrusted Xiaopei City to me, how could I abandon the city and leave? General Zhang, don't say more, I swear to live and die with Xiaopei City!"
"puff!"
"snort!"
As soon as Chen Gong finished speaking, Zhang Liao struck out like lightning and struck the back of Chen Gong's head hard with his palm. Chen Gong groaned and collapsed softly. Gao Shun was already prepared and took a step forward.
He supported Chen Gong.
Zhang Liao said: "General Gao Shun, are you ready?"
Gao Shun nodded and said: "Everything is ready, absolutely foolproof!"
"Mr. Chen Gong is the general's right-hand man, and there must be no room for failure!" Zhang Liao said in a condensing voice: "General Gao, please escort him out of the city immediately."
Gao Shun cupped his fists and said, "I will obey your orders."
The camp of Cao Jun and Cao Ren outside Xiaopei City.
Yang Wei stood with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the stars in the sky. There was a hint of worry between his brows, and he said silently in his heart: "Cao Ren is stubborn and will not listen to good advice. This battle may be more disastrous than bad!" Suddenly there were heavy footsteps.
A voice sounded from behind Yang Wei. Yang Wei looked back, but his friend Man Chong was slowly approaching.
Man Chong walked up behind Yang Wei and asked in a solemn voice: "Is Brother Shiying observing the sky at night again?"
"Yes!" Yang Wei frowned and said: "The stars are dim, only the evil star rises from the northwest and shines in the sky!"
Man Chong asked worriedly: "What did Brother Shiying see?"
Yang Wei said quietly: "There are corpses everywhere and blood flowing everywhere!"
"Really?" Man Chong responded to Yang Wei's words lightly, and then walked to Yang Wei's side. He also looked up at the sky eagerly, but all Man Chong saw was only the stars in the sky, which were basically the same as before?
Yang Wei shook his head lonely and said to himself: "How can ordinary people see through the number of stars? Sometimes, I really wish I didn't know the number of stars!" Because at this moment, what appeared above Yang Wei's head
The horoscope on the earth made Yang Wei feel extremely uneasy. The Emperor's star was dim but the stars were shining. This was a sign of the demise of the Han Dynasty, and the world would soon be in chaos!!!
Xiaopei City Head.
Zhang Liao suddenly turned around, and under the dim firelight, Gao Shun was walking towards him quickly. When Zhang Liao saw Gao Shun, he couldn't help but said regretfully: "General Gao Shun, why didn't you evacuate together with Mr. Chen Gong?!"
"As a counselor, Mr. Chen Gong is responsible for making suggestions for General Lu, but it is not his duty to go into battle to kill the enemy." Gao Shun said calmly: "However, as a general under General Lu, how can Gao Shun escape from the battle?"
Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "General Gao Shun! You should know the situation in Xiaopei City very well!"
"The general will naturally know." Gao Shun still said calmly: "Xiaopei City can be defended for three days at most, and even if the troops we sent to ask for help from General Lu are delivered to General Lu, they will not be able to catch up within five days.
Coming back means that Xiaopei City will be destroyed and our army will be defeated!"
Zhang Liao roared: "Since you know, then why don't you leave?"
Gao Shun asked, "I dare to ask the general why he didn't leave?"
Zhang Liao frowned and said: "I have been entrusted by General Lu and am the commander-in-chief. How can I abandon the city and leave!"
Gao Shun also said: "The last general is also entrusted by General Lu. Although he is a deputy general, he does not dare to belittle himself!"
"Alas~~" Zhang Liao sighed and said: "The general is very talented. No matter how he trains or leads the troops, he is ten times better than the Liao. General Lu can live without Zhang Liao, but he cannot live without you, Gao Shun! And Liao surrendered to General Lu.
I have not achieved even a single achievement, but I am still in a high position. Every time I think about it, I always feel ashamed. I can only defend Xiaopei and kill myself to repay it!"
Gao Shun said: "Can the general forget General Lu's admonition?"
"Never give up, never abandon!" Zhang Liao said solemnly: "How can I forget, General? Back in Chang'an and Yanzhou, if General Lu hadn't fought desperately to save him, Liao would have been dead for a long time."
"That's it!" Gao Shun took a step forward and stood side by side with Zhang Liao. He held his hand on the female wall and looked at the endless Han army camps outside the city. He said in a deep voice, "We will never give up lightly, and General Lu will never give up either.
Abandon our land! Until tomorrow, let Cao Jun take a look at our army's front!"
"Yes!" Zhang Liao slapped the female wall with a heavy palm, and then said in a deep voice: "In this world, only General Lu's army is truly elite. Qingzhou elite? Bah! It's just a bunch of bullshit!"
A brief but peaceful night finally passed. When the scorching sun rose from the eastern horizon, the bloody day finally began unstoppably. Amidst the endless sound of horns, groups of armored infantry marched from Cao Jun's army.
The troops surged out of the camp and marched into formation outside Xiaopei City.
Cao Ren, wearing heavy armor and riding a horse, appeared outside the east gate of Xiaopei City, escorted by Li Dian, Yue Jin, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu and other generals, as well as hundreds of fine cavalry.
Not far away, Liu Bei also appeared, escorted by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals as well as hundreds of white-eared elite soldiers. The two nodded to each other from a distance, clasped their fists and bowed on horseback.
