"Die!" Zhang Fan shouted, and suddenly thrust out the short gun in his hand.
Xia Houlian blocked Zhang Fan's shot with his knife. Zhang Fan missed the hit and stabbed him several times, which affected his injury. Xia Houlian saw the right moment and struck Zhang Fan's wound again. Coincidentally, Xia Houlian's knife was also jammed. Zhang Fan saw the opportunity and stabbed Xia Houlian in the abdomen.
"Ah ho~~"
Strong unwillingness came over like a tide, Xia Houlian raised his head and roared, his hands holding the two long knives suddenly exerted force, twisting and flicking, Zhang Fan's left shoulder was completely removed, along with a complete left arm. After falling a few steps away, in the splash of blood, the pulsating heart in Zhang Fan's chest was clearly visible. With every pump of the heart, a stream of blood shot out from the cut wound like an arrow. Shoot out.
"Jiejiejie~~"
Zhang Fan, however, was completely unaware. He opened his mouth and let out a hideous smile. The short spear that penetrated Xia Houlian's abdomen was twisted and then pulled out. In an instant, a bloody hole as big as the mouth of a bowl was opened in Xia Houlian's abdomen. A few bloody intestines were dragged out from the blood hole, wrapped around the short gun and dragged all over the floor.
"Dead brothers! I, Zhang Fan, am here with you, hahaha!!!" Zhang Fan raised his remaining right arm, his sharp short spear dripping with blood, and suddenly turned towards the far south, roaring incomparably ferociously. Said: "Brother, even if he died, Zhang Fan didn't embarrass you! Wow!!!"
Zhang Fan let out a final roar, threw himself forward, and hugged Xia Houlian. The two hugged each other and fell to the ground. The next moment, more machetes and spears came from the two armies, slashing Zhang Fan. The corpses of Fan and Xiahou Lian were chopped and stabbed to a bloody pulp, and were soon trampled under the feet of the advancing soldiers of the two armies, turning into two cold and mutilated corpses.
Cao Ren has eight strong generals under his command, which happen to be Lu Bu's eight strong generals, who are also Han Sui's eight banners. Even Cao Cao also has Cao Cao's eight generals and Wei's eight tiger cavalry. What is the reason for this? We don't know. Cao Ren's eight strong generals They are the green-faced beast Xia Houcun, the golden retriever Pan Sui, the golden-winged roc Cao Yong, the golden-eyed Biao Niujin, the black-armed ape Hong Xuan, and the white-flowered snake Zheng Gan. However, the blue-eyed tiger Xiahou Lian and the golden leopard Xiahou Zhong are the earliest. Two dead ones.
Xiaopei Ximen.
Twenty thousand cavalrymen of Cao's army were waiting in formation outside the west gate. The dark cavalry formation almost covered the entire wilderness. The defenders standing on the tower looked around and saw as far as the eye could see the black cavalrymen. It was as if there was no other color between heaven and earth. Wearing leather armor, he stood astride his horse at the forefront of the cavalry formation. Xu Huang complained about his illness, and Niu Fu was also a deputy general, so he took over the post temporarily, while Cao Yong and others were only generals and did not have this qualification.
A fast horse galloped from the southeast corner like wind and clouds. It galloped to Niu Fu and said quickly: "General Niu, the southeast corner has been captured by General Cao's army! Now the two armies are strangulating repeatedly at the gap!"
"Oh, really? So it's time for our army to take action!" Niu Fu said this, then he drew out his sword and horse, raised it above his head, and swung forward with all his strength: "Kill!"
The uniform black cavalry formation suddenly split open in the middle, and a group of "infantry" rushed out of the camp carrying simple ladders, swarming towards the wall of Xiaopei City like a swarm of swarms.
This infantry is just dismounted cavalry, not infantry in the true sense. However, the defenders on Xiaopei City Tower are already very few. Zhang Fan has transferred all the troops he can mobilize to the southeast corner. The defense was already quite weak. In less than a meal, Cao's soldiers led by Niu Fu successfully climbed to the top of the city.
While Cao Jun and Cao Ren's troops were still fighting fiercely with the defenders in the southeast corner of Xiaopei, soldiers from Cao Jun and Xu Huang's troops had already opened the west gate of Xiaopei City, and 20,000 Cao Jun cavalry poured into Xiaopei City like a tide. Xiaopei City was finally captured!
Two hundred miles south of Xiaopei City, Lu Bu's nine thousand troops were rushing towards Xiaopei City. Zhang Xian rode forward, walked side by side with Lu Bu, and gasped: "Based on time, Xiaopei City should have been lost by now." By now, General Lu's plan to lure the enemy has been completed. By this time, Gongtai and Generals Gao Shun and Zhang Liao should have led their troops to evacuate Xiaopei City, right?"
Lu Bu nodded heavily and said in a solemn voice: "I hope Gao Shun's trapped camp can hold on for a while longer until the army comes back for reinforcements!"
"Report~~" Lu Bu just finished his words when a long and mournful howl suddenly sounded from the front. He raised his head in surprise and saw Cao Xing galloping back from the front. He clasped his fists on the horse and said: "General, Mr. Chen Gong, General Gao Shun I am waiting with General Zhang Liao and more than 500 riders twenty miles ahead."
"Huh?" Lu Bu frowned and said, "How many enemy troops are chasing us?"
"No enemy troops were found." Cao Xing replied.
"Huh?" Lu Bu looked solemn and exchanged glances with Zhang Xian. Both of them saw a hint of shock in each other's eyes. How could Chen Gong, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao appear twenty miles ahead? It was even more surprising. What's surprising is that there was no enemy pursuit! Could it be that they withdrew from Xiaopei City before the enemy troops came to the city? If this is the case, then Lu Bu's plan to lure the enemy will probably fall short!
After Lü Bu led his army back to Xuzhou City, he made a plan with Chen Gong and Zhang Xian to use Xiaopei City as a bait to annihilate the invading enemies. In order to use the bait enough to ensure that the enemy army would be fooled, Lü Bu did not hesitate to order Zhang Liao to lead the general and Gao Gao. Shun, Chen Gong was the deputy general, and he urgently repaired and raised the city wall, assuming a posture of defending Xiaopei and waiting for the army to come for reinforcements. Even Zhang Liao and Gao Shun did not know that defending Xiaopei City was just a ploy to lure the enemy.
However, before breaking the city, Chen Gong would tell Zhang Liao and Gao Shun the overall plan at the right time, and then Xiaopei's defenders would use Gao Shun's trapped camp as a vanguard to abandon the city and break through. Although the invading enemies were all It's Cao Cao's army, but there are many factions among them, and they must be scheming among themselves. They all want to break into the city early and seize the food, grass, baggage and women, so they will definitely not try their best to chase down the breaking army.
In this way, Gao Shun's trapped camp has a great chance to break out of the encirclement, and Lu Bu's plan to lure the enemy has been at least half successful. However, now Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun only show up with more than 500 cavalry. There are twenty miles ahead and there is no enemy pursuit, which is a bit unusual!
Zhang Xian's eyes flashed and he said to Lu Bu: "General, if the situation has changed, you will know as soon as you see the public platform and ask."
"Yes." Lu Bu nodded solemnly, raised his right arm and said quickly: "Send my general's order to speed up the march of the army, and immediately go to join Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun's army."
"As ordered." The dozen or so cavalrymen roared and took the order and left.
These dozens of messengers quickly conveyed Lu Bu's military orders. In less than a moment, the nine thousand troops accelerated their march and surged toward the north. These nine thousand troops were all Lu Bu's old troops, the former Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
