Chapter 4: The Coalition Attack on Yundu City (continued)

Cao Cao just smiled when he saw Xun You, but he didn't say anything, so he didn't say anything more.

At this time, Sun Ce and Liu Bei had already led the troops to retreat first, and after seeing Cao Cao, several people said a few words, and then Cao Cao led his own people to step forward immediately, preparing to attack the city.

Sun Ce and Liu Bei, looking at the back of Cao Cao leading the troops, the two of them snickered in their hearts. The heart said that what can you do if Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army goes out, isn't it the same as your own in the end, you have to return with a feather. After the two retreated to the designated place, they never moved again, just waiting to see how Cao Cao's Yanzhou army attacked the city.

They are actually the same as Cao Cao, Cao Cao looked at the siege of the Sun-Liu coalition army, and Sun Ce and Liu Bei also looked at the siege of the Yanzhou army. After all, even if it's an alliance, it's still not so completely trusting, so if you don't look at the other party, this will definitely not work, in case the other party really "can't work", then it's not right. So Cao Cao is looking at Sun Liu and Liu Bei, and Sun Ce and Liu Bei are the same, looking at Cao Cao-

Even if they don't think that the other party will have a situation of "not working hard", but the ancients said well, "the heart of guarding against people is indispensable", so this must be prevented, after all, it is "people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they don't know how to do things". At this time, Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei obviously lack a deep level of trust, at least not now. As for speaking later. Then who knows.

However, the trust between Cao Cao and Sun Ce and Liu Bei is obviously inferior to the trust between Sun Ce and Liu Bei. Even if there is still a contradiction between Sun Ce and Liu Bei, it can't be said to be a trivial matter. But the mutual trust between each other is more than between them and Cao Cao, which is true.

So the two are still allies, and they are all together, so naturally the two are a group, looking at Cao Cao's Yanzhou army and guarding against the Yanzhou army. There is still wariness of Cao Cao, and it is not small.

Cao Cao knows all about this. But he didn't say anything, after all, this is all human nature, and in his opinion, he is actually not the same. So don't talk about anyone else. If you really want to talk about it, everyone is nothing more than each other.

In this way, Cao Cao led his troops forward and prepared to attack Yundu.

called Yu Ban to his front, and at this time he heard Cao Cao say to him: "Wen Ze, it's up to you today!" Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande obviously want to see our army's jokes, what do you think? ”

Seeing his lord looking at himself with a smile, Yu Ban knew it in his heart. Although it is true on the surface, in fact, his lord will definitely not be very happy in his heart. As for the smile on the lips. That's nothing more than character, but in the heart of his lord, he will definitely not laugh, but because Sun Ce and Liu Bei want to see their own jokes, he is deeply hated, and they must let them see how powerful they are.

Therefore, Yu Ban arched his hand and said to Cao Cao: "Please rest assured, the last general will do his best, live up to the expectations of the lord, and suppress the arrogance of the Sun and Liu coalition army!" ”

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, "Hahaha! Okay, Wen Ze is strong, in this way, I can rest assured, let's fight! ”

"No!" ――

And after hearing his lord's order, Yu Ban rushed to Yundu City with his own soldiers.

For him, it was a shame to be despised and despised by the Sun and Liu coalition forces. After all, in Yu Ban's thoughts, can the Sun-Liu coalition army compare with his own side, at least he doesn't think that their combat power can compare with his own. But even so, the other party still looks down on himself, and it is obvious that this is a joke to see himself, so he can't bear it with his lord, can he still bear it.

Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande don't look down on their own side, that is, they look down on their Yanzhou army from top to bottom. From his lord to the lowest ordinary soldiers, this is the case, so Yu Ban is dissatisfied, unwilling, and despises Sun Ce and Liu Bei. They look down on themselves, so they look down on them, so let's just look down on each other.

However, at this time, what Yu Ban thought of was that he must be like what his lord said, not like Sun and Liu's coalition army, he didn't take advantage of anything. If you don't show them something, they don't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has! ――

Yu Ban led the soldiers to attack Yundu City, and Gao Pei and Deng Xian at the head of the city looked at the tenacious Yanzhou soldiers, the two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes, and a wry smile on the corner of their mouths that was not easy to detect.

There is no way, it has to be like this, the Sun-Liu coalition army has just retreated, and the soldiers of their own side have just withstood their fierce attack, isn't this the soldiers of the Yanzhou army coming up again. They don't attach too much importance to the ban, but they really don't dare to underestimate the Yanzhou soldiers.

After all, they don't lose their own combat power, and the Yanzhou soldiers and horses are not too few, at least much more than their own, so the pressure on them is not small, it should be said that it is very big.

But even so, it won't let them retreat half a step, at least they know that their own soldiers can still hold Yundu City today. So the two of them shouted at their own soldiers, encouraging their own soldiers, and letting them fight to the death against the Yanzhou soldiers.

Yu Ban, who was climbing the ladder, heard Gao Pei and Deng Xian shouting, and he pouted. The heart says that even if you are so, then how can you be in the face of your own strong attack. How many days will you be able to resist it? Besides, now it's not just your own Yanzhou army, although the Sun-Liu coalition army is not as strong as its own, but it is better than the number of people, so they are indeed more tricky, it depends on how your Liangzhou army wants to fight them.

Thinking of this, Yu Ban was full of confidence. Even if some of this is from the Sun-Liu coalition army, this is not important, it is important. He was confident that both his side and the coalition forces would break the city, and that would be enough.

He shouted at his own soldiers, and then attacked the city with all his might. But he said he had a good idea. But the rolling wood and stone at the head of the city. But I really love to greet him, although he dodged a lot, but as soon as the hot oil came out, Yu Ban immediately had no choice, so he could only retreat first-

The besiegers, whether they are generals or ordinary soldiers, are for rolling logs and stones. They weren't going to be afraid, because those things were so powerful. But it doesn't have to be fatal. But for things like hot oil, it can be said that they are the most disgusted and more afraid, after all, even if this touches you a little, it must be impossible if you don't want to get hurt, and in the end, it may be just a little bit of injury, you can't stand it, and then you die.

Of course, this has to be said that the medical conditions in ancient times were not good, but the effect of rolling wood and stone was obviously not as good as the effect of hot oil. However, the cost of hot oil is relatively high after all, and it takes time to boil, so the frequency of use must not be as much as that of rolling wood and stone.

At the head of the city and under the city, a fierce siege battle was launched. Not to mention, the attack of the Yanzhou army is indeed stronger than that of the Sun-Liu coalition army, which is really obvious to all-

Even Sun Ce and Liu Bei, who were watching the battle from behind, they had to admit that this was the case. As for Cao Cao, he was even more proud in his heart, don't look at his own side is in an alliance with Sun Liu's alliance, but his own side is still in great competition with them, and this is also true, so ......

Let's take this attack on Yundu as an example, if you have the most and greatest contribution from your own side, then Yundu City will definitely be able to belong to your side in the end, so can Cao Cao not let the soldiers contribute. Besides, there is indeed a big face problem here, at least Cao Cao will not let the expressions of his soldiers be inferior to those of Sun and Liu's coalition army, this is what he thinks.

At this time, looking at Yu Ban and his own soldiers, Cao Cao was already satisfied. For him, as long as it is stronger than the Sun-Liu coalition army, it is enough, even if it is only a little, then it is fine, and he doesn't expect much for the rest. After all, this is only the second attack, and the opponent is the strongest Liangzhou army in the world, so it is actually good that you can do this now-

As for Sun Ce and Liu Bei, it's even simpler, even if they really don't want to admit it, but in front of everyone, and no one can see it, so they have to say that the combat power of the Yanzhou army is indeed higher than their own, which is right.

However, although it was said that the Yanzhou Army was in the limelight, the two of them were also happy in their hearts. That is, Cao Cao did not perfunctory himself, this is good, and the more the Yanzhou army shows their strong strength, then the more they can break through Yundu City as soon as possible. As for giving Yundu City to Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army, it doesn't matter, at least for Sun Ce and Liu Bei, they really don't attach too much importance to Yundu City.

There are so many counties in Jiangxia, it is impossible to say that two people will occupy each county, and in their thoughts, they will drive Ma Chaoliangzhou's army out of Jiangxia, and then the two and Cao Cao will divide Jiangxia. As for how many counties Cao Cao can get in the end, let's discuss it again. However, if he wants any county, as long as he contributes more, then it is not impossible to occupy it directly after seizing it.

The battle was still raging, but no matter how much pressure was on him. Gao Pei and Deng Xian also still stuck to the front of the city, commanding their soldiers to stubbornly resist the attack of the Yanzhou soldiers.

Yu Ban fought hard, and really let him climb to the head of Yundu City. But it's a pity that in a few breaths, the city has been besieged by the Liangzhou army. But the good thing is that the ban is experienced, so there are no injuries or anything.

Cao Cao, who was watching the battle later, looked at it and was also worried about Yu Ban, but seeing that he was still good, he was temporarily relieved. But that's all. He still asked Xun Yu next to him, "Gongda come to see, should you be Mingjin at this time?" ”

Xun You smiled when he heard this. "My lord, although our army is now better than the Sun-Liu coalition army, the advantage is not big, so I will accept it when I see it. Fight again tomorrow. Especially when General Wen Ze landed at the top of the city just now. Obviously, it is the Liangzhou sergeant who has angered the head of the city, so it is better for our army to temporarily avoid its front at this time! ”

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and then said, "Okay, Mingjin, collect the troops!" ”

"No!" ――

As soon as they heard the sound of gold coming from the rear of the Yanzhou army, Gao Pei and Deng Xian at the head of the city breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the pressure on them from the Yanzhou army is really great, anyway, it is greater than the Sun-Liu coalition army. Of course, they are not as many as the Sun-Liu coalition army. This is also their disadvantage, but the combat power is strong. That's their advantage.

Seeing Yu Ban retreating with the Yanzhou sergeants, Gao Pei and Deng Xian glanced at each other, and Gao Pei said at this time: "After two days of fighting, how is it?" ”

Deng Xian shook his head slightly, "Alas, that's it!" ”

After hearing what he said, Gao Pei also shook his head, and then the two of them told the soldiers at the head of the city a few words, and then went down to the head of the city. They didn't think that the Yanzhou Army and the Sun-Liu Coalition Army would make a comeback today, but this precaution must not be careless, so they still told the soldiers to take strict precautions. And if there is any change in the enemy's army, it is necessary to report to them as soon as possible. As for these Liangzhou sergeants, it is true that they all know how to do it-

The two of them got off the city and returned to the mansion, and then after sitting down, Gao Pei said to Deng Xian: "Now that you know about the war, it seems that Yundu City is indeed not suitable to hold, so I intend to retreat as soon as possible, what do you think?" ”

Deng Xian saw Gao Pei's solemn expression, how could he not know these things in his heart, so he said to Gao Pei at this time: "Yes, the lord's letter clearly said that if you can't do anything, you will retreat as soon as possible, but now, it can only be like this!" ”

Although Deng Xian said this, Gao Pei could also hear the helplessness in his mouth. But isn't it, you don't have enough people, that's why it's like this, or the two of you really won't retreat. But it's useless to think about this now, as long as you bring your own soldiers to your lord safely, that is, Qi Chun, and the rest, you don't have to think about it anymore.

Gao Pei nodded when he heard this, and said to Deng Xian: "Then without further ado, I think let's act tonight!" ”

Deng Xian seconded, "Yes, this is the best!" ”

Then the two discussed the specific situation, how to retreat Yunyun, and this is the end-

At night, the time had passed, and when it was almost time, Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei received their own reports of exploring horses almost at the same time.

"Report to the lord, in Yundu City, there is something wrong with the Liangzhou army!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he said to Tanma: "Explore again!" ”

"No!"

Then Cao Cao shouted, "Someone! ”

"Lord!"

"Gather the generals and two gentlemen to my tent! Hurry up! ”

"No!"

At this time, regardless of whether they are resting or not, Cao Cao also has to gather everyone, after all, his own Tanma said that the Liangzhou army has moved, it must be a big deal. Of course, Cao Cao didn't think that they would rush out of the city to rob the camp, so how could it be? A few thousand people against an army of nearly two hundred thousand, isn't that a joke? ――

So then there is only one possibility left, the other party wants to escape!

And Cao Cao had no interest in pursuing the Liangzhou army, and he had no interest in Gao Pei and Deng Xian, two third-rate generals. But to be honest, he was very interested in Yundu City. At least in his thoughts, if his own side entered the city earlier than Sun Ce and Liu Bei's Sun-Liu coalition army, then his own side would have a big advantage, and the other party would certainly not be so advantageous. Therefore, on the one hand, he asked Tanma to continue to investigate the movements in Yundu City, and on the other hand, he asked the soldiers to gather all his subordinates to come to discuss the matter.

And Sun Ce and Liu Bei's side, like Cao Cao's here, all did this. Let the tanma continue to investigate, and then summon all his men to come to the big tent to discuss the matter. (To be continued......)
