This is indeed the case, even if you are strong in battle, but you don't have a good spirit and no morale, it may be the same defeat by others, or even a big defeat, it is not impossible.

But on the contrary, even if you lack a lot of combat power, but everyone is in a good state, the morale is high, and you may be able to exert 200% of your strength, is this impossible? Of course not, on the contrary, this can be said to be very likely, very likely.

After Cao Cao finished saying everything he had to say, he led everyone out of the tent to point troops and prepared to attack Xiling again!

Sun Ce's big tent of the Chinese army, Tan Malay reported: "Report to the lord, the Yanzhou army has moved, it seems that it is going to attack Xiling at night!" ”

Sun Ce waved his hand, "Explore again!" ”

"No!"

And the same thing happened in Liu Bei's Chinese army tent, and after Liu Bei sent away the Tanma, he muttered to himself: "Cao Mengde, it seems that you are finally going to act!" ”――

Whether it is Sun Ce or Liu Bei, it is true, Cao Cao's actions have long been expected.

However, they didn't know when Cao Cao was going to act, but they had already let their own horses be prepared to strictly investigate the movements of the Yanzhou army, and as long as they had any changes, they must report to them as soon as possible.

The end result, sure enough. When it was almost time, didn't he receive a report from his own side, and Cao Cao's Yanzhou army was finally going to attack Xiling at night. And this is in the eyes of Sun Ce and Liu Bei. Cao Cao said that he was going to "finish his work in one battle", saying that he could capture Xiling today, so he didn't succeed in the previous daylight, so the last hope can only be on this.

But Sun Ce and Liu Bei didn't think that Cao Cao would succeed. Of course, it's not like there's no possibility at all. In any case, Cao Cao may be regarded as "taking it by surprise and attacking it unprepared". Sun Ce and Liu Bei don't think so. What preparations will Liao Hua have for this, so, not to mention, it is Cao Cao's Yanzhou army. Dominant. Besides. On the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, and until the end, the result is really hard to say.

Sun Ce and Liu Bei didn't have a big account, although it was a good bet, but they didn't say that they would go out to watch the siege battle between Cao Cao's Yanzhou army and Xiling's Liangzhou army. As for the final result, of course, they will know it for the first time, but this is certain.

Cao Cao led his army to Xiling City. When the Liangzhou soldiers guarding the city discovered them, Yu Ban had already attacked Xiling with the Yanzhou soldiers.

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

……

Especially in the middle of the night. To tell the truth, the sound of the horn and the sound of war drums can be said to be earth-shattering, and it is estimated that even if you have a problem with your ears and your hearing is not very good, you can hear it.

Liao Hua hadn't rested in the Taishou Mansion yet, but at this time, he saw a soldier come to report: "Report to the general, the enemy army is leading the crowd to attack the city, please make a decision!" ”

When Liao Hua heard this, he hurriedly stood up, and said in his heart that the enemy army was coming to attack the city? It seems that I am still a little careless, and I really didn't think about it.

Isn't it, whether it was in Yundu or Anlu before, there was no precedent for the Yanzhou army and the Sun-Liu coalition army to attack the city at night. As for Liao Hua, he really didn't think too much about it, so he was really careless. As a result, Cao Cao gave him such a time, although it didn't make him rush all at once, but it really surprised him.

"Quick, wait for me to go to the city!"

Saying that, Liao Hua put on the armor and helmet as quickly as he could, and went out with the ring head knife. After getting on the war horse, he went straight to the head of Xiling City.

It is impossible to say that he is not in a hurry. Liao Hua doesn't have any great skills, but like Gao Pei, Deng Xian and Mi Fang, they are all third-rate generals.

And in the event of such a big event, the enemy army came to attack the city at night, and it is impossible to say that he is not in a hurry. So he hurried his horse and whipped up, and used the fastest speed to come to the gate of Xiling City, and after getting off the horse, he took three steps and two steps to the top of the city.

In fact, when the soldiers came to report him, he had already vaguely heard the shouts of killing, which was not so clear at that time, but except for the back of the house, the closer he was to the city gate, the clearer he could hear it. And now that he is in the city, he knows better. Looking at the Yanzhou army that was constantly attacking upwards under the city, Liao Hua shouted: "Brothers, resist it, don't let the enemy attack it!" ”

As he spoke, he had already joined the battle to defend the city. You see that the Liangzhou sergeant before, when Liao Hua didn't come, he was indeed a little caught off guard. But now, as soon as the main general is up, it can be said that he has the backbone, and then this is not as chaotic as before, it can be said that they are all on the right track-

Yu Ban, who was leading troops to attack the city, saw that this Liao Hua came quite timely, and it can also be said that it was quite fast.

But even if this is the case, what can it be, tonight still can't resist the pace of their own progress. A Xiling City, his Liangzhou army is strong, and he admits it, but with just a few thousand men and horses, a third-rate general, is it like resisting his own strong attack.

Yu Ban was full of confidence at this time, because of his lord's purpose of "taking him by surprise and attacking him unprepared". It can be said that it has really been reached. It's just that "the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky", although he is confident. Even everyone on their side has confidence, but if God doesn't favor him, it won't be of much use at all, and in the end, he still can't break other people's Xiling City.

Cao Cao, who was watching the battle from behind, couldn't help nodding his head, he was still very satisfied with his own expression. For this effect. Of course, he was equally satisfied. After all, it can be seen from the reaction of the Liangzhou army that they really don't have too strict precautions, so their own side has an advantage. Why can't you take Xiling? ――

For a while, Liao Hua was already sweating. But it's definitely not hot or tired, it's really nervous and worried, so it's like this.

He had a bad premonition in his heart at this time. The heart said that this is going to be the end tonight. Isn't it? I was careless, I didn't have much preparation, and I didn't even have any preparation with my own soldiers, so I ......

People came prepared, I don't know how long they have been preparing, and their own side is really not prepared, so isn't this waiting for people to abuse their families. But that's it. What else is there to say, but to say, "The soldiers are coming." Since the other party has already been bullied to the doorstep, even if he is defeated, he may fight this defensive battle well. Otherwise, even if the city can be defended temporarily, he will not have the face to meet his lord in the future.

Liao Hua took out the strength to eat milk, and also encouraged his Liangzhou soldiers to desperately defend the city. He also saw it a long time ago, this Yanzhou sergeant, he didn't know if he was crazy in the middle of the night, or what, this is really different from the daytime. Whether it was because I didn't do my best before, or if there was something little known in this, I don't know.

Yu Ban is the same, encouraging his own soldiers to attack the city with all his might.

In fact, there is no need to say too much, the Yanzhou sergeant already knows about the gambling contract between his lord and Sun Ce and Liu Bei. To tell the truth, they all have this confidence, and they can take Xiling tonight.

So the pressure on this is getting bigger and bigger. And his premonition is getting stronger and stronger, knowing that tonight is basically more than lucky.

When Yu Ban had already ascended to the top of the city, Liao Hua took his soldiers and went straight to him. And there are more and more Yanzhou soldiers at the head of the city, but it seems that the Liangzhou army can't resist it.

Liao Hua's heart was cold, and he said in his heart, it's over, this is really the mother's trend. And it's all your own fault, if it weren't for your own carelessness, could it be? Don't look at the other party as just a night attack, but the other party is really prepared, people have no intentions, and they don't suffer losses, that's weird -

Liao Hua rushed to Yu Ban with his soldiers, but he was stopped by the Liangzhou soldiers, "General, let's go, the enemy will have us to intercept it!" ”

When Liao Hua saw it, he knew in his heart that this was not the time to be reckless. So he gritted his teeth and shouted: "The whole army retreats!" ”

The Liangzhou Army is well-trained, and the order is forbidden, which is not said at all. Liao Hua said to retreat, and immediately, after the break, many soldiers were guarding Liao Hua's retreat. Many of them also know in their hearts that tonight is really over, when will they have such grievances, but they are defeated, what else can they say. I can only say that if I have a chance in the future, I will go back to the field, or what else can I do now.

But obviously, Liao Hua didn't forget to put down two cruel words, and only heard him shout at this time to the forbidden Yanzhou sergeant: "Tonight's shame, he will repay it one day!" Let's go! ”――

Liao Hua was reluctant to take the troops and leave, but now there is no other way. And Yu Ban took his own soldiers to chase him, but unfortunately he didn't catch up with him. It's just that there are Liangzhou soldiers who are desperate, so of course Yu Ban didn't succeed.

Sun Ce's Chinese army tent. Tanma came to report again: "Report to the lord, the Yanzhou army has broken through Xiling, and Liao Hua has retreated with the remnants of the army!" ”

Even if it's already past the hour. It was very late, but Sun Ce still didn't rest, because he had been waiting for Tanma to report again, and the result was that he was waiting for such news. Originally, in his opinion, what he should have waited for was the news that the Yanzhou army was attacking the city unfavorably, and then Cao Mengde had no choice but to withdraw his troops, but he ......

Sun Ce had already stood up at this time. Said slowly to Tanma: "Got it, go down!" ”

"No!"

Liu Bei's big tent of the Chinese army, "Report." Lord, Yanzhou Military ......"

Liu Bei didn't stand up, but just waved his hand at Tanma and asked him to retreat-

After the horses were removed from the big tent. Liu Bei smiled slightly. Then he said to himself: "Cao Mengde won, Sun Bofu, hehe!" ”

To be honest, in Liu Bei's thoughts, he did think that the Yanzhou army would not take Xiling. But although the result was indeed beyond his expectations, this was true, but immediately he thought about it again and smiled. As for why this is so. It's not because Liu Bei knows it too well. Whether it is Cao Mengde or Sun Bofu, even if it is an alliance now, yes, even Sun Ce has already joined forces, but ......

At the end of the day, they are their enemies, hostile, and this is the essence that cannot be changed no matter what, isn't it? So no matter who they are, it can be said that it is actually good for themselves. So I don't have to feel like Cao Cao because he has face. Cao Cao is fighting for face, but Sun Ce is embarrassed, what do he want Cao Cao to do, when he thinks of him Sun Ce and Sun Bofu are deflated, isn't this what he wants to see.

So at this time, Liu Bei couldn't understand it anymore, and he wanted to say that he was still entangled in Cao Cao's victory before, but he didn't want to see this. But now, he doesn't have this idea, he Sun Ce is defeated, isn't it what he wants? ――

Of course, Cao Cao and Sun Ce didn't know what Liu Bei was thinking at this time.

When Cao Cao saw that Yu Ban and many of his own soldiers had climbed to the top of Xiling City, he just smiled, and Xun You next to him stroked his beard and said, "Lord, Xiling City is at your fingertips!" ”

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, "Hahaha! Wen Ze really lives up to my expectations, magnificent! ”

Judging from the experience of the two, it is natural to see that their own side has an advantage, and the other party's Liangzhou army is gone.

Finally, hearing Liao Hua's shout, Cao Cao knew that tonight, his side had captured Xiling City. And after a while, he waved his hand and shouted, "Everyone, follow me into the city!" ”

"No!"

As he spoke, he took his generals and guards into Xiling City. As for the gate of Xiling City, it has already been breached by the Yanzhou army, just waiting for Cao Cao and them to enter the city.

Don't look at Liao Hua's limited ability, and he is not very good at defending the city, and he is careless to underestimate the enemy.

But to be honest, the speed at which he led his troops to escape was really not slow. Moreover, there are many soldiers on his side who are desperately trying to buy them time, so Yu Ban can only reluctantly bring the troops back, and he simply did not catch Liao Hua. Originally, I could still see the shadow of his person before, but the further back I went, the more I couldn't see it, and finally chased the person away. Yu Ban sighed, and then led the troops back.

In fact, he also knew that it was basically impossible to really capture the main generals of others, but in order to make meritorious contributions, he still held on to that bit of luck and led his troops to chase after him. But as a result, it was still the same as before, and there was nothing to achieve after all.

After coming back to see his father-in-law, Yu Banyi said that he did not catch up with Liao Hua. And Cao Cao smiled, "Hahaha!" Wen Ze has a merit in breaking the city, which is a great achievement. Others, the so-called poor Kou Mo chasing, but this matter is not you! ”

In the end, everyone came to the Taishou Mansion and sat down to talk together.

In the Taishou Mansion, I only heard Cao Cao say: "Someone! ”

"In!"

"Go outside the city, the camp of the Sun-Liu coalition army, invite General Sun and Xuande over, and say that our army still captured Xiling!"

"No!"

The soldiers went down to invite Sun Ce and Liu Bei, and almost everyone of the Yanzhou army generals present was happy. After all, I had to say that in front of Sun Ce and Liu Bei, of course they would not be afraid of anything, but they were still a little embarrassed. After all, he was able to occupy Xiangyang again, but his lord was inferior and gave them many benefits, and finally got it.

But now, it's feng shui in turn, and now it's at my house. His lord made a bet with his Sun Ce and Liu Bei, now let's take a look, how about it, one day it is convenient to seize Xiling, it is his lord who wins, see what he Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande have to say. It's time for you to turn over now, hahahaha! (To be continued......)
