Seeing that the soldiers finally occupied the city, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh loudly. After more than forty days of siege, many soldiers were killed and injured before this result was achieved. He picked up his riding whip, pointed at the city head and said: "Guan Yu, the guard in the city
, is Liu Bei's confidant general. If you capture him alive, don't kill him yet, but bring him to me. I would like to ask him, who is the real hero between me and Liu Xuande?"
After saying that, he laughed again. Amid the laughter, someone suddenly came over, but it was Military Advisor Xi Zhicai.
Xi Zhicai handed over a letter and said: "My lord, Wen Ruo wrote a letter saying that the Jiujiang prefect had concealed the population, colluded with the county officials, tampered with the album, and concealed the amount of land. Now that the evidence is conclusive, I ask my lord what should I do?
deal with?"
When Cao Cao was in high spirits, he heard this and said angrily: "I have given orders over and over again, but these people have repeatedly violated the law. What is there to say? Send the order to Wen Ruo and immediately kill Bian Rang and take in his parents and wife."
My son, I didn’t join the government!"
"promise!"
Cao Cao was extremely harsh both in managing the army and the people. He fought every year without stopping and needed to consume countless amounts of food and grass. Now that the war with Xuzhou is in full swing, even he himself changed his diet from three meals a day to one.
They had two meals a day, and the soldiers below were starving while fighting the enemy. They ransacked the homes on the border, and the food they obtained could probably feed the soldiers on the front line for a whole day.
After casually handling the issue of giving way, Cao Cao laughed again. He looked around and said, "Although Liu Bei has Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Gao Shun as his wings, how can he compare to the many talents under my command?"
As he spoke, the city gate suddenly opened, and soldiers from outside the city poured in like a tide. Xiapi is an important town in Xuzhou, and they have accumulated countless money, food and materials. If they rush in first, they can not only kill freely, but also grab some more things.
.These soldiers endured cruel military laws, were far away from their parents, wives and children, and fought abroad for a long time. If they were not allowed to vent their resentment and hostility, they would probably turn around and devour their masters.
More than a hundred soldiers of Cao's army rushed into the city cave with howls and rushed to the streets in the city, but they were suddenly stunned. In front of their eyes, countless soldiers were pouring out from the houses on both sides. "
"Da da da", the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and Guan Yu, carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, appeared at the end of the street with hundreds of cavalry.
In this era, as long as the city wall is breached, the defenders will immediately collapse. Cao's soldiers have been fighting all year round, and the enemies they have fought are like this. Xiapi City has been attacked for dozens of days, and the city wall is damaged in many places. If the enemy rushes
Entering, the soldiers who suddenly disembark are likely to collapse directly.
But Guan Yu knew that if he couldn't burn the construction machinery outside, he would never be able to defend the city wall. Therefore, he deliberately let Cao's army go to the top of the city.
"Hoo!" "Hoo!"
White-eared soldiers are good at javelin and short-hand combat. They usually carry a ring-headed sword and a shield, as well as two javelins. After they rushed out of the residence, they first threw a wave of javelins when they met. Hundreds of thousands of javelins fell,
He killed more than 200 soldiers of Cao's army who rushed in, killing most of them.
Then, Chen Dao raised his arms and shouted: "White-eared soldiers, follow me!"
Hundreds of soldiers followed Chen Dao and launched a counterattack towards the city gate. Cao Jun's soldiers were several times more than the defenders in the city, but at this time, at this point at the city gate, their strength was actually
At a disadvantage, the Bai'er soldiers rushed out fiercely and scattered Cao's troops outside the city gate. The following troops poured kerosene on the siege tower and set it on fire.
The moment something happened at the city gate, Cao Cao's laughter suddenly stopped. His eyes flickered, and he pointed at the Xuzhou soldiers with white feathers on their heads and said: "These are Liu Bei's white-eared soldiers.
Why are you here? Did Liu Bei sneak into the city again?"
Xiapi is close to Surabaya, so it is difficult to completely surround it. If Liu Bei sneaks into the city at night, it is entirely possible. But it can only be a small group of soldiers and horses sneaking into the city. Do you want to rely on Bai'er?
Can thousands of elite soldiers make a comeback?
At the moment of uncertainty, the more than 3,000 infantrymen who rushed out had already moved to both sides, and hundreds of cavalry came out at lightning speed. The man in front, with a height of nine feet and a face as thick as a jujube, was riding a tall Xiliang horse.
The war horse is carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Sword weighing dozens of kilograms. Who else is such a majestic person besides Guan Yu?
Cao Cao had fought against Guan Yu and knew that this was Liu Bei's number one general and that almost no one under his command could defeat him. He immediately shouted: "Oops, I fell into Liu Bei's trick!"
After saying that, he immediately jumped out of the carriage, grabbed a horse, and fled towards the rear.
When Guan Yu was in the city, he had already found out that the person under the yellow umbrella was Cao Cao. He ignored others and rushed towards Cao Cao with the Qinglong Yanyue Sword. He was quite big and average.
The war horse could not drag him at all. Later, Chen Cheng gave him an extremely splendid Xiliang war horse, so that he could carry him on the battlefield.
Seeing Guan Yu coming out, Cao Jun's soldiers all burst into an uproar. They originally thought that the enemy would fight stubbornly in the city, but how could they expect that the enemy general would rush out with his cavalry? From last year to this year, Cao Jun and Guan Yu fought many times.
, this man killed more than a dozen generals. If it weren't for the larger number of soldiers and horses, no one would be able to stop this tiger general.
Originally, they were prepared outside the city to prevent the defenders from leaving the city for a counterattack. But after the city was occupied, Cao Jun's generals all thought about entering the city to plunder, and the original preparations became empty talk.
When Guan Yu attacked Cao Cao's position, Cao Cao's army fell into panic in a short period of time.
"Protect the lord!"
Cao Hong did not ride a horse and shouted at the top of his lungs to the surrounding infantry, "Follow me! Stop that bearded thief general!"
Cao Hong, whose courtesy name is Zilian, is Cao Cao's disciple. Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, but he is also well versed in the art of war. He is a senior general with commanding authority in Cao's army. He was originally guarding Cao Cao, but now Cao Cao jumped off the carriage and ran away.
He led the infantry to stop behind.
Seeing Cao Jun soldiers coming up, Guan Yu snorted coldly and controlled his mount to go around. A few hundred infantrymen were nothing, but they were not worth wasting time on these people. You only have one chance, even if you can't kill them now
Cao Cao also wanted to destroy both of those catapults.
Guan Yu had no intention of killing Cao Cao. He had fought with Cao Cao's army many times, and he knew that the opponent's combat power was powerful and not comparable to that of the Yellow Turban Army. It can even be said that the combat effectiveness of Cao Cao's army was still higher than that of Gongsun Zan's army and Yuan Shao's army. Cao Cao
The generals around him are not fuel-efficient lamps. He is not afraid of fighting alone, but the opponent Cao Jun never gave him a chance to fight alone.
With equal strength, Guan Yu was confident of defeating any general in Cao's camp. Unfortunately, Cao Cao's soldiers were not only powerful, but also much more numerous than Xuzhou. Only then could he besiege Xiapi.
Liu Bei, who was still able to divide his troops and send reinforcements, was patted back.
Seeing Cao Cao fleeing backwards, Guan Yu pursued him. When Cao Hong saw that Guan Yu did not come to charge, but went around to continue the pursuit, Cao Hong couldn't help but be jealous. He shouted loudly: "Protect the lord quickly!"
The surrounding soldiers also shouted together, "Protect the lord!"
Li Dian, who was closest, abandoned his infantry and charged forward with more than a hundred cavalry. Guan Yu stepped forward to fight with him. After a round of fighting, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword cut off the spear in Li Dian's hand and slashed Li Dian's chest.
The soldiers under Li Dian were all guests of the clan and had strong cohesion. Seeing that their general was seriously injured, the soldiers rushed forward like crazy and snatched Li Dian back.
Their livelihoods depend on Li Dian. They are not worried if Cao Cao dies, but if Li Dian dies, they will all become slaves of others.
Guan Yu chased after Cao Cao and defeated Li Dian, Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin, Xiahou Yuan and other famous Cao army generals. He was about to catch up with Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao's large army had already caught up and joined Cao Cao in the battle. The spearmen lined up in front.
, the crossbowmen drew but did not fire, standing behind the formation.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Guan Yu didn't force it. He turned around and saw that most of Cao Jun's siege machinery had been burned. The siege towers and catapults were all turned into ashes in the raging flames.
.
Cao Cao was heavily protected by the army, and he felt reassured. He laughed and said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, you are fine!"
Guan Yu turned around and sneered: "Cao Cao, you are lucky today!"
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Why is Chang Yun so heartless? I know you have no intention of killing me today, you just want to burn those cars."
"Hmph, since you know this, why do you still fight your horse and flee?" Guan Yu pointed his sword in the direction of Cao Cao and said disdainfully: "I just thought of it temporarily when I saw a fire ahead. People say that Cao Mengde is the leader of troubled times.
Traitor, when I saw you today, it turned out to be so!"
Cao Cao laughed loudly, "Just think that I just remembered it, Yunchang, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"
The surrounding Cao troops have rushed over from all directions. Just as Cao Cao said, if he doesn't leave, it will be too late. The cavalry under Guan Yu are all riding Xiliang war horses brought from Guanzhong, and they are extremely good at it.
Even if you charge into battle, you won't be able to defeat ten times the number of enemies around you.
Guan Yu sneered, "How can you hide the method of provoking generals from me? Cao Mengde, for now, I will put your head on your neck for now and wait until the next day to get it!"
After that, he flipped the horse's head and shouted loudly: "Fight back with me!"
Previously, Cao Cao was shocked and fled back, leaving Xu Chu, Dian Wei and others with the infantry. Now these people have surrounded him. They are extremely angry about what just happened and vowed to kill Guan Yu.
This kind of fanatic stays here.
By coincidence, the direction Guan Yu chose to break through was on Cao Hong's side. Xu Chu and Dian Wei shouted loudly and ordered their soldiers to extend the front line to block the enemy's path.
Seeing infantry blocking the way ahead, Guan Yu couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and shouted: "How brave!"
His physique was majestic, and his voice was much louder than that of ordinary people. When he shouted loudly, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue.
Amidst the sound of thunder, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword brought out a shrill light and slashed towards the enemy general in front.
