Chapter 824: Cao Cao breaks Xuzhou
"For the sake of the military and civilians of Xuzhou, what's the matter with the officer's war, I want to think about how happy it was for the official to cut the yellow scarf with Yun Chang and Yide, tonight my three brothers will go out of the city again to kill thieves." Liu Bei said.
Seeing that Liu Bei had made up his mind, Guan Yu didn't want to persuade anything, but his gaze at Chen Deng was a little different, Chen Deng's words were agitating to a certain extent, but looking at Chen Dengyun's light look, Guan Yu could only put his doubts down, now is the critical moment in Xuzhou, and there are still many places to rely on Chen Deng.
At the time of the third watch, the city gate that had been closed for half a month slowly opened, and the cavalry rushed out, the first person held a snake spear in his hand, and slowly walked towards the Cao army camp, and after a while, two cavalry walked out of the city gate again.
After Cao Cao received the letter sent by Chen Deng, he laughed and said, "The sky is going to kill Liu Bei'er." ”
"Congratulations, my lord." Cheng Yu and the others hurriedly said hello.
The Chen family and Cao Jun secretly communicated with each other, except for Cao Cao's most trusted advisers, the rest of the people did not know.
"Xiahoudun, order you to lead 5,000 soldiers, ambush outside the west gate, the city is on fire, after the city gate is opened, lead the soldiers into the city, and capture the governor's mansion." Cao Cao ordered.
"Whoa." Xiahoudun came out of the column to hug his fists.
"Xu Chu, order you to lead 5,000 soldiers, ambush outside the east gate, and use the fire as a signal, and then directly enter the city and capture the military camp in the city."
"Whoa."
One after another orders were conveyed, and Cao Jun moved up and down.
Xiahou Xuan, who was ambushed at the west gate, quietly watched Liu Guanzhang lead the cavalry towards his own camp, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, after tonight, Xuzhou belongs to Cao Cao.
Zhang Fei led a thousand cavalry into the camp, as Chen Deng expected, encountered fierce resistance, for a time the camp was full of killings, seeing this situation, Zhang Fei did not have the slightest worry, this situation was expected by Chen Deng, it means that the next two cavalry raids will be successful.
Hearing the shouting of the Cao army camp, Guan Yu led the cavalry to kill the Cao army camp from the other side, and for a while the Cao army camp was a little panicked, Guan Yu was overjoyed, and led the cavalry to rampage, and kept burning the Cao army's camp tent.
However, at this time, the camp tent was empty, and the secret road was not good, Guan Yu was about to evacuate, and suddenly heard bursts of shouts and killings from the left and right sides.
"Cao Cao's plan." Guan Yu shouted and led the cavalry to retreat while fighting.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Liu Bei led the cavalry to kill, similar to Guan Yu's situation, there was no scene expected by Chen Deng, and Cao's army seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and entangled the three cavalry in the camp.
The Xuzhou cavalry has stirrups and horseshoes, which are not weaker than the Cao army in terms of elite, but the Qingzhou army in the Cao army is very elite, brave in battle, not afraid of death, and entangled the cavalry with flesh and blood.
Just when Cao Jun's killing was inseparable, the east gate and west gate of Pengcheng slowly opened, and he was responsible for guarding Pengcheng, and Chen Deng had already replaced the guards of the two city gates with his own people.
Seeing the flickering fires in the city, Xiahoudun shouted loudly and led the cavalry towards the west gate.
After entering the city, the situation was unexpectedly smooth, and the defenders in the city did not expect Cao's army to suddenly attack the city, and when Xu Chu led the tiger and leopard cavalry to the military camp, the soldiers were still asleep.
Not only Guan Yu and Liu Bei, but even Zhang Fei also sensed that something was wrong, from the battle to the present, the number of Cao cavalry that appeared was too small, and the number of Cao cavalry was already quite a lot, such a major event as a raid on the camp, how could there be no cavalry to help in the battle, where did the cavalry of the Cao army go?
There were fewer and fewer cavalry around him, and Liu Bei led the remaining cavalry to break out of the encirclement and head towards Pengcheng, knowing that this sneak attack had failed again.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also led the cavalry to break through the encirclement, and at this time, the Cao army, which lacked cavalry in the army, could not stop the departure of the Xuzhou cavalry.
After meeting Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei sighed for a long time, and the two comforted Liu Bei and gathered the remnants.
Killed from the Cao army, the sky was already light, seeing that Peng Cheng was safe and sound, Liu Bei breathed a long sigh of relief, Guan Yu's analysis on the way back made Liu Bei anxious, Peng Cheng is his foundation, and there can be no mistakes.
"Open the gates!" Zhang Fei stepped forward and shouted.
The city gate creaked open, Liu Bei urged the cavalry to enter the city, and lost a lot of cavalry in the Cao army, and the Cao army would definitely not give up.
"Liu Yuanjun doesn't want to enter the city, Chen Deng has already taken refuge in Cao Cao." As soon as one of the generals finished speaking, he was beheaded.
Seeing that the plan was discovered, Xiahoudun walked out of the defenders, pointed at Liu Bei and laughed: "Liu Bei'er, now that Pengcheng has belonged to the Marquis of Shanyang, it is better to dismount and surrender quickly, so as not to suffer disasters for your family." ”
After speaking, the flag on the city was replaced by the banner of Cao Jun.
Up to now, how could Liu Bei not understand what happened in Pengcheng, from the sneak attack on Cao's military camp to the fall of Pengcheng, all of this was done by Chen Deng, who he trusted, and only Chen Deng had this condition, the Chen family is a big family in Xuzhou, and there is no shortage of generals in the army who have taken refuge in the Chen family, Liu Bei did not ask about this matter, but Chen Deng actually took refuge in Cao Cao, which Liu Bei could not have imagined anyway.
"Shameless Chen Deng, a traitor seeking glory." Zhang Fei scolded.
Chen Deng sneered: "Good birds choose trees to perch, after Liu Yuanjun entered Xuzhou, what he brought to Xuzhou was war, how many soldiers and people died in the war, Liu Yuanjun has always regarded himself as benevolent, and it is a great benevolence and virtue to let Xuzhou to the Marquis of Shanyang." ”
Guan Yuce immediately stepped forward and said: "If you meet in the future, you will be killed." ”
"Liu Beixiu is leaving!" The city gate opened, and Xu Chu led the tiger and leopard to ride out.
At this time, although Liu Bei only had more than 1,000 cavalry, there were fierce generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and after a moment of fighting, they began to retreat.
"Big brother, now that there is no Pengcheng, where are we going?" Zhang Fei asked, Peng Cheng's loss had something to do with his belligerent character, and he was also ashamed of Liu Bei.
Seeing that Liu Bei's expression was not very good, Guan Yu stepped forward and persuaded: "Big brother doesn't need to worry, the disaster will not affect people's families, Cao Cao still understands this reason." ”
"The people I am worried about are not my family, but the soldiers and civilians in the city, but fortunately, you and my brothers are not trapped in the city." Liu Bei said with tears in his eyes.
Guan Yu was moved when he heard this, and hugged his fists and said: "Big brother, don't worry, you will bring elite soldiers back to Xuzhou in the future." ”
Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "War is just to plunge more people into war, so let's go to Xiangyang and meet the saint." ”
For the saint, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei still agree with it, although the Han family is weak, it still has a great influence in the hearts of ordinary people.
On the way, Sun Qian came from the city, and after Liu Bei was relieved, the group headed towards Xiangyang.
