In Xiapi City, Xuzhou, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun are now looking at the map and discussing the next battle situation.

Zhao Yun said worriedly: "Yun Chang, you and I have repeatedly attacked Xiao Pei to no avail, and I can't explain to Your Majesty if we continue like this." ”

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun have been fighting side by side, establishing a deep friendship and having a good relationship with each other.

Guan Yu's face sank like water, and he said hatefully: "I didn't expect this Cao Zilian to be so able to defend, no matter how many strategies we used, we couldn't break Xiaopei." ”

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun now have a deep hatred for Cao Hong, because he has been stubbornly resisting in Xiaopei, and there is the check and balance of the Jiangdong Army in Guangling County, Xuzhou, which has caused Liu Jun in Xuzhou to have no meritorious service. Guan Yu and Zhao Yun both felt that they had no face to meet Liu Yu.

It is no wonder that Cao Hong is desperate, in addition to Xiaopei to Yanzhou, the other road is to pass through Mount Tai, which is a high mountain and a long road, very dangerous, and not suitable for large-scale marching.

"Yun Chang, we have to find a way." Zhao Yun said.

Guan Yu was silent, if there was a way, he would have done it to Xiao Pei a long time ago, but Cao Hong is an elm head, and any strategy to provoke and lure the enemy is useless.

At this time, Guo Tu rushed in and cheered: "Two generals, good news, great news!" ”

Guo Tu had already returned to Xiapi from Luoyang, and was dealing with intelligence work during this time. Guo Tu was reprimanded by Liu Yu because of his nephew's matter, although Liu Yu did not actually punish him, but Guo Tu knew Liu Yu, no punishment is the biggest punishment, it is very likely that Liu Yu has been disappointed in Guo Tu and does not want to waste time on Guo Tu anymore.

The thought of losing Liu Yu's attention made Guo Tu's heart tense, so much so that he threw himself into work after returning to Xiapi.

Today, Guo Tu got a piece of good news, Lu Bu and Pang Tong sent a message that they had joined forces to attack Xiao Pei.

"Mr. Gongze, what's the joy?" Zhao Yun asked out loud.

Guo Tu was too happy, and said happily: "The two generals, General Lu Fengxian led his Bingzhou wolf cavalry has come to the vicinity of Xiao Pei, and they have sent a warrior to deliver the news that they want to join forces with us to take down Xiao Pei!" ”

"Seriously!?" Guan Yu stood up.

"I have already checked the identity of the other party, and it is confirmed that it is General Lu's personal soldiers, and now this person is waiting outside the house, and the two generals can let him come in to verify!" Guo Tu said quickly.

"Let him in!" Zhao Yun hurriedly said.

Soon, a soldier was brought in, he saluted Guan Yu and Zhao Yun directly, held Lu Bu's letter, and said, "Villain Lu Si, meet the two generals." The villain was ordered by my general to bring the general's handwritten letter to come and make an appointment with the two generals to attack Xiaopei. ”

As soon as Zhao Yun and Guan Yu saw this soldier, they knew that this was Lu Bu's personal soldier, and hurriedly took Lu Bu's letter. After reading it, the two smiled, the handwriting was indeed Lu Bu's, and the letter also explained how to cooperate.

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun both believed that this was true, after all, the plan in the letter that required their cooperation was also what they had been doing before, as long as they attacked Xiao Peicheng head-on.

"Please reply to your general, and say that we have agreed. Just do what you say! Guan Yu said.

"The villain understands, the villain will go back and report!" Lu Bu's own soldiers immediately turned around and left.

"Yun Chang, it seems that this time we can finally take down Xiao Pei!" Zhao Yun said happily.

Guan Yu nodded lightly and said, "This time, we must capture Cao Hong's gang alive, and then divide him into five horses!" ”

Guan Yu hated Cao Hong to death, if he hadn't been guarding Xiao Pei, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun would have rushed into Yanzhou a long time ago, and Yanzhou would not have been captured by Liu Yu until now.

Lu Bu and Pang Tong received Guan Yu and Zhao Yun's reply and immediately made arrangements.

It's just that the plan had to be executed late at night. Mainly because the wolf rider has been running for a long time, and now they are exhausted and need time to recover their physical strength, while for the elite of the wolf rider in the state, it only takes an hour to recover to the best attack state. Late at night is also the time when the enemy is most paralyzed, and attacking at this time is the best opportunity.

Late at night, there were already countless soldiers of the Liu Army outside Xiaopei City slowly advancing.

Some of the defenders in Xiaopei City began to snort.

This situation was discovered by Cao Hong, who was patrolling the defense, and immediately gave a kick to the soldiers who were angry, and shouted: "Cheer up the general!" Now is the critical moment, and there must be no negligence. ”

The beaten soldier quickly stood up and looked under the city walls. The other soldiers cheered up, they didn't want to be beaten. The soldiers were already very unhappy in their hearts, and they had been holding on to this small city for a long time, and I don't know how many brothers had died in battle. And they haven't had a good rest for many days, and this day is simply not for people to live. Otherwise, how could they be angry at such a critical time, they are completely tired.

Of course, Cao Hong knew the thoughts of these soldiers, and said at the moment: "Don't blame the generals for being ruthless. Ben will know you're all tired. Ben will also be tired. But the small pei city under our feet is very important, as long as this small pei city is defended, the lord's Yanzhou can withstand Liu Yu's attack. Ben will promise that as soon as the lord's reinforcements come, Ben will let you rest well and take a good bath. ”

What can the soldiers do, it is already rare to have the main general speak to them like this, that is, I hope that I can live until the moment when reinforcements come.

Cao Hong sighed in his heart, he already thought that Shouchun had sent a letter asking for help, according to reason, it would not take a few days for reinforcements to come, and he could be more relaxed.

"God forbid, let me keep it for a few more days." Cao Hong kept praying to God.

God didn't hear Cao Hong's prayers, and a soldier saw a large number of figures walking not far away, and shouted in horror: "Enemy attack! ”

Cao Hong was almost not frightened by this sentence, and the enemy army actually chose this time to attack. Cao Hong hurriedly shouted: "All ready!" Oil, sassal wood preparation! ”

The defenders were only a little flustered at first, but they quickly did as Cao Hong told them, and they did these things too many times.

Cao Hong finally saw clearly who was attacking, it was Guan Yu and Zhao Yun who led the army together, and the number was not a few, and they chose to attack Xiaopei in the middle of the night, it seemed that they were planning to capture Xiaopei City in one fell swoop.

"Hehe, just a little plan wants to capture Xiaopei, are you underestimating the general? The archers prepare, and the enemy will shoot at the general when they enter the firing range! Cao Hong did not have any fear and began to fight back calmly.

"Attack!" Guan Yu and Zhao Yun also gave the order to attack.

Both sides started with bow and arrow attacks, and long-range attacks were often the best way to win. Cao Jun was condescending and had the advantage in this regard.

Liu Jun raised his shield to block the attack of feather arrows, and slowly approached the city wall.

"Fire oil! Splash it all out of Ben! Scald these bastards! Cao Hong tore open his throat and roared.

The soldiers of the Cao army quickly poured the hot oil down, and the soldiers of the Liu army under the city wall were splashed with the hot oil and the skin exposed outside the armor was immediately scalded, and a large piece fell down at once, and they all began to wail.

This is not the end, Cao Hong then shouted: "Torches, rockets!" Set them on fire! ”

Fire oil is flammable, and torches and rockets carry the source of fire and are quickly ignited, igniting a raging fire. The fire lit up the entire battlefield under the city, and there was a figure struggling in the firelight, it was the soldiers of Liu Jun who were lit by fire oil, they constantly tried to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but they couldn't do it, and finally they could only be swallowed by the fire and become the fuel for the raging fire. How cheap life is at this moment, this fire harvested many Liu Jun soldiers at once.

Fire oil is a very important for night battles, but it is not easy to store it in peacetime, and it will explode if you are not careful, and under normal circumstances, the defenders will only store a certain amount of fire oil in case of a big explosion. There is not a lot of fire oil in Xiaopei City, and Cao Hong can only save a little, and he can illuminate the battlefield under the city and see the enemy clearly.

The burning fire also stopped Liu's attack, and the two sides could only use their bows and arrows to strike each other continuously.

Cao Hong constantly commanded his soldiers to defend, constantly repelling the opponent's attacks.

The light of the oil was also slowly extinguished, and Guan Yu and Zhao Yun immediately ordered to increase the intensity of the attack. Cao Hong had to continue to use fire oil and use the flames to block the enemy army.

"Archer, shoot rockets at the walls for Ben!" Guan Yu couldn't let the defenders keep pouring fire oil on his soldiers.

Thousands of rockets rushed towards the city walls, and the wind was not strong tonight, and the rockets did not go out when they were fired.

Several rockets hit the place where the fire oil was stored on the city wall of Xiaopei, and the spark exploded in an instant.

"General, our fire oil is gone!" A soldier reported bad news to Cao Hong.

Cao Hong was sweating profusely, and it was difficult to do it now.

"Okay, Cao Jun has no oil! The ladder to Ben will go up! Zhao Yun keenly spotted the fighter and commanded the infantry to carry the ladder and rush over.

As if inspired, the soldiers of the Liu army rushed over with the ladder as if they were dead. Liu Jun did not carry the bumper wood to attack the city gate, because Liu Jun had launched many attacks on Xiao Pei, and he had long known that Cao Jun had blocked the city gate, so they would not waste time and energy attacking the city gate.

Liu Jun's number was larger than Cao's, and the ladder was also erected on the side of the city wall, and a large number of Liu Jun continued to climb towards the city wall with the ladder.

Cao Hong's lieutenant hurriedly came to Cao Hong and said, "General, go on like this." The number of enemy troops will be piled to death by our army. What are we going to do!? ”

Cao Hong observed the offensive and defensive posture of the enemy for a while, and it was really as the deputy general said, the number of Liu troops was too much, and the defenders on the city wall could be consumed to death.

"Immediately transfer all the soldiers there from the West Gate!" Cao Hong made a difficult decision.

"Yes! I'm going to do it right away! "The adjutant will do it right away.

Cao Hong can only break his wrist now, after all, he did this a few times before, Xiao Pei only needs to hold the east gate, it is inevitable that it is a big river, and the north is against the mountain, Cao Hong has relied on this favorable terrain to resist the attacks of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun many times.

The adjutant general quickly transferred the defenders of the West Gate to the East Gate, and the defenders of the East Gate received the help of the new force and immediately counterattacked the offensive of Liu's army.

Guan Yu saw that the number of Cao troops on the city wall had increased, his eyes showed excitement, and he said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, Cao Zilian has won the trick. ”

"Yun Chang, it's not time to be happy. We now have to hold back Cao's forces so that Feng Xian can attack. "Zhao Yun is still very calm.

Guan Yu nodded firmly, and said to the soldiers: "Rush over with Ben General!" Conquer Xiaopei City! ”

Guan Yu was ready to rush forward with his bravery, driving the bloodiness of the soldiers, so that Cao Hong could not care about anything else.

Sure enough, as Guan Yu expected, as soon as Cao Hong saw Guan Yu personally attacking the city, he was even more convinced of how correct his previous decision was.

"Attention, archers. The cuckold is Guan Yu, shoot him to death for Ben! Cao Hong quickly gave the order.

All the archers aimed their feather arrows at Guan Yu, and Guan Yu kept dodging the feather arrows shot by Cao Jun, looking very embarrassed, but fortunately he was not shot.

"Cao Hongpifu! I will kill you! Guan Yu said angrily.

Cao Hong didn't respond to Guan Yu, Guan Yu said this every time, I don't know how many times this is, if he can successfully break through Xiaopeicheng, he Cao Hong doesn't know how many times he has died.

On a small hillside outside Xiaopei's West Gate, Lu Bu and Pang Tong were observing Cao Jun's movements.

"Sir, when are we going to do it?" Lu Bu saw that the defenders of Xiao Pei Ximen had been much smaller just now.

"General, you must calm down, we have to wait!" Pang Tong seemed to feel that he should wait any longer, he was a little worried that Cao Hong was just making an illusion, but in fact, he was leaving a hand. If this is the case, Pang Tong's plan has failed, and the previous arrangements have been in vain.

Although Pang Tong was very bold, he had just implemented his first plan on the battlefield, and he hoped very much that his strategy would succeed. That's why he's so cautious.

Lu Bu didn't have so many twists and turns, and when he saw Pang Tong say this, he could only continue to wait. Everything is being implemented according to Pang Tong's arrangement, and Lu Bu has to wait even if he has an opinion, after all, this is a trust in Pang Tong.

The strong shouting and killing sound at the east city gate came to Pang Tong's side, and at a glance, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu had firmly dragged the defenders.

"Looks like it's time!" Pang Tong felt that this was the best time.

"Good! The whole army is ready! Lu Bu suddenly came to his senses, and he couldn't sit still for a long time.

The wolves of Bingzhou all moved, and they were ready to attack Xiaopeicheng, which they had already attacked.

At this time, the mutation protrudes!
