Chapter 344: Leading the army out of the city
On the one hand, Liu Bei sent people to ask Gongsun Zan for help, and on the other hand, he strengthened the city defense and occupied Dongping Ling City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Luo Gan, wait for the three or four thousand captives to be arranged.
Guan Sheng also recuperated for a while, but it was no big deal. The main thing about Guan Sheng was that he was frightened by Guan Yu's sudden outburst and was almost killed. Now that I have adjusted my mentality, I vomited some blood that day, but I was still able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. It's okay on the surface, but it's estimated that it won't be able to explode for a while.
Outside the earthen drum city, the war drums rumbled, and Luo Ganju gathered his troops.
It was still Li Kui's White Tiger Battalion as the vanguard, the leopard head Lin Chong led 5,000 troops for the left army, Dadao Guan Sheng led 5,000 troops for the right army, Yun Tianbiao led 5,000 troops for the rear army, and Guan Ling and Zhang Ning each led 5,000 troops for the Chinese army. Luo Gan naturally took Zhi Duoxing Wu Yong, the mother insect Gu sister-in-law, the white flower snake Yang Chun, and the jumping tiger Chen Dahao towards Dongpingling City.
Along the way, it was safe and sound, originally Luo Gan was still waiting for Liu Bei to lead the army to ambush and sneak attack, but no, Luo Gan's army easily arrived at the city of Dongpingling.
Luo Gan came out on horseback, still hoping to persuade Liu Bei to surrender, although there was not much hope, but it was also a little harder, and it was good to save some effort.
"Brother Xuande, if you oppose me, it's nothing more than Gongsun Zhan's persecution. Although Gongsun Zhan has some ability, he is not Yuan Shao's opponent after all, and he will be defeated by Yuan Shao sooner or later. Now that Tian Kai's ignorant fool has also been condemned by me, do you have to continue to be my enemy? If you open the city and surrender, I will still appoint you as the governor of Pingyuan County, and make you sit in Pingyuan County. My army is here, and you can't hold on to this city for a long time, so quickly open the city and surrender. Luo Gan said loudly to Liu Bei at the head of the city.
Liu Bei was silent when he heard this, seemingly thinking, but in fact his face was expressionless, and others didn't know what he was thinking.
Guan Yu's lying silkworm eyebrows were close to each other, and they were about to squeeze together, and after hesitating for a moment, he still made up his mind and said: "Big brother, when the Luo Gan army first came, our army can take advantage of the situation to kill and defeat the enemy army." Let someone go out of town and fight! ”
"That's, that's it, I'm going with my second brother, so I have a helper. This time, I Lao Zhang will definitely stab Na Luogan to death. Zhang Fei excitedly clenched his fists and asked for battle.
Liu Bei shook his head and said, "No, no, you take a closer look." Although the Luo Gan army is the first to arrive, its left and right armies are very calm, if our army kills, it will inevitably be killed by its left and right, and it will be difficult for our army to resist at that time. It's better to wait and see what happens, and wait for General Gongsun Chan to send troops to help. ”
None of the three of them thought about the surrender of Kaesong, because the war had already started, and now that they had surrendered, Luo Gan would definitely not let them continue to occupy Pingyuan County. Besides, there are still more than 15,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, Liu Bei is also unwilling, and wants to fight.
"Luo Gan, don't waste your saliva, since the war has started, then it's up to each other." Liu Bei shook his head and said indifferently.
"Luo Gan, this big man's surname is Liu, and my eldest brother's surname is Liu, and he is a member of the Han family. Occupy the state and county. You are a person with a foreign surname, why force each other! "Liu Bei doesn't have the identity of an imperial uncle now, but Zhang Fei is still talking about Liu Bei's identity as a clan member of the Han family.
Luo Gan laughed, pointed the spear in his hand, and said disdainfully: "I am the pastor of Qingzhou, and I am the pastor of Qingzhou on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and I am in charge of the counties and counties of Qingzhou." You Liu Bei is just a mat weaver and a peddler, and you don't have a reward from the court, but you are arrogant here, which is ridiculous. Haha~"
Zhang Fei smiled angrily, and pointed the spear in his hand at Luo Gan: "Hey, you kid has sharp teeth, and you have the ability to come up and fight with your Grandpa Zhang for three hundred rounds!" ”
Luo Gan rolled his eyes directly, Lao Tzu can't fly, you have the ability to open the city and fight.
"Guan Sheng, let you lead 8,000 troops to attack the East Gate, and Lin Chong, you will also lead 8,000 troops to attack the West Gate!" Luo Gan sneered, and loudly ordered the distribution of troops and horses in front of Liu Bei.
Then Luo Gan personally led 9,000 troops to wait at the south gate, and did not attack the city.
Liu Bei saw it clearly in the city, and sure enough, he saw Guan Sheng and Lin Chong each leading 8,000 troops to both sides, and it seemed that they were going to attack Dongping Lingcheng from the east gate and the west gate.
This made him very hesitant, Liu Bei still had a total of 15,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. Seeing that Luo Gan came from the south, his main army gathered at the south gate, there were only about 2,000 people at the east gate and the west gate, and there were only 1,000 people at the north gate, but there were 10,000 horses at the south gate.
After a while, Liu Bei could no longer see Guan Shengjun and Lin Chong's army coming in the city, and saw that Luo Gan's side did not attack the city, but was relatively loose, and it seemed that he might still have to set up camp, waiting for the good news of Lin Chong and Guan Sheng.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu in the city glanced at each other with a tacit understanding, and said to Liu Bei in unison: "Big brother, it's a great opportunity, take advantage of that Lin Chong and Guan Sheng to attack the East and West Second Gate, and I'll just kill it." As long as Na Luo Gan is captured alive or killed, this Qingzhou will not be the eldest brother! ”
Although I don't know how many specific troops the Luo Gan army under the city is, a cursory look shows that there are only about 10,000 people.
This is a great opportunity, defeating Luo Gan in a battle, maybe able to hold Dongping Lingcheng, and then expand the strength to the entire Jinan County, and then unify Qingzhou.
The more Liu Bei thought about it, the happier he became, and the more he felt that he could give it a go. It is estimated that Luo Gan thought that he Liu Bei would not dare to go out of the city, and would only defend, but he didn't know that attack was the best defense.
"The second brother and the third brother went out to fight as a whole army and captured Na Luogan! Go, and prepare a feast for you in the city for my brother! Liu Bei smiled and said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
"Yes, don't worry, brother!" Guan Yu replied with a fist.
"Big brother, I, Lao Zhang, personally sat down with Luo Gan to make amends to my eldest brother. Hahaha~" Zhang Fei happily went down to the city with Guan Yu to gather soldiers and horses.
Luo Gan was under the city at this time to discuss with Wu Yong beside him.
"Strategist, do you think Liu Bei will fight?"
"Don't worry, Liu Bei is still very decisive, even if he doesn't want to fight, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu will inevitably be unable to help fighting." Zhiduoxing Wu Yong nodded, very confident.
But don't look at Wu Hao as if he was very sure, in fact, although he was talking to Luo Gan, his eyes kept staring at the changes in the city, and there were still some beads of sweat on his forehead, so he knew that he was also very empty.
Seeing Zhang Fei and Guan Yu leaving from Liu Bei's side, Wu was secretly happy and whispered to Luo Gan: "Lord, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are nowhere to be found, they must be going down to the city to reorganize the army, and they can quickly ignite the wolf smoke." ”
Luo Gan's eyes were much more useful than Wu's, and he had already seen Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's movements, clenched the spear in his hand, and secretly ordered the people around him to be careful.
"Ning'er, quickly light the wolf smoke!"
"Yes, my lord!" Zhang Ning responded and waved the flag behind him three times in a regular manner.
Wolf smoke soon ignited behind him, and the lit wolf dung rose at first, and then the wolf smoke rolled straight into the sky.
