The people in Luogu City have not yet been pacified, and the situation in the city is not familiar. Now that Cao Hong and Xu Huang's army is approaching the city, Zhang Fei frowned, although the strength is comparable, but judging from the momentum of the other party, he still has a hunch that the city may not be able to hold it.

Fortunately, when Xu Huang left the city, he left a large number of materials to defend the city, and Zhang Fei hurriedly climbed the city tower and ordered the soldiers to prepare bows and arrows, rolling logs and boulders.

A few hours later, Cao Hong and Xu Huang's army came to the west gate of Luogu City, which was so vast that it could not be seen at a glance, Xu Huang took the lead in running to the front, pointing to the city and scolding: "Black-faced thief, you defrauded the city yesterday, and you didn't hand it over quickly!" ”

"Humph! If you have the courage, you will rush into the city and see that my old Zhang will not take your life! Zhang Fei shouted without fear.

"If you can't recapture Luo Gu, I swear not to be a human being!" Xu Huang gritted his teeth and drew his bow and shot arrows, shooting at Zhang Fei.

This is just a provocative action, Zhang Fei turned slightly sideways, grabbed the arrow shot by Xu Huang, snapped it with a click, and then ordered: "Release the arrow!" Never let Cao Jun enter the city with a single soldier! ”

A row of archers came out of the line and shot hundreds of arrows at Xu Huang in a row. Xu Huang didn't dodge, he danced the big axe, swept all the arrows away, and still scolded non-stop.

Xu Huang was still called back by Cao Hong, his mood is understandable, but as a well-known general, his image is also very important, no one is not a ghost, what does a man or a woman look like, so let's go wash my face and straighten my hair first.

Xu Huang was unwilling, Cao Hong whispered a few words to him, and then he smiled. Cao's army did not immediately launch a siege, and remained in a stalemate until dark, and then retreated and set up camp five miles away.

The Cao army came to seize the city with great momentum, and it was impossible to stop lightly, and the deputy general Li Kanjian said: "General, you can take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold and go to rob the village overnight." ”

"No, then Cao Hong used to use this trick, how can he not guard against it now?" Zhang Fei waved his hand and did not agree.

Although Cao's army retreated, Zhang Fei still didn't dare to be careless, knowing that they were waiting for an opportunity to move, so he ordered the soldiers defending the city not to slack off, wear armor and sleep, and take precautions day and night.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Fei had just laid down in his clothes when he heard the soldiers hurriedly report that Cao Hong led an army of 20,000 to bypass the city and launch an attack on the east gate.

Zhang Fei was horrified in his heart, he didn't expect Cao Hong's movements to be so fast, this was obviously to catch himself off guard! Zhang Fei hurriedly got up and personally led the soldiers to guard the east gate, looking from the city wall, the firelight all over the mountains and fields, the sound of killing shook the sky.

However, Cao Hong ordered people to keep firing arrows at the city wall, and did not set up a ladder to attack the city, nor did the soldiers desperately hit the city gate, it seemed that the thunder was heavy and the rain was small.

Zhang Fei ordered to take precautions, and at the same time ordered his soldiers to fire arrows at Cao's army on the city wall.

After firing at each other for half an hour, I heard another soldier report that Cao Zhen led an army of 20,000 and had launched an attack from the north gate.

Ma Chao hurriedly led people to guard the north gate, Cao Zhen's approach was similar to Cao Hong's, just kept firing arrows upward, and did not launch a strong offensive. Ma Chao naturally also ordered the archers to shoot downward, after all, the condescending advantage was there, and more people died in the Guan Bao Cao army.

Both Zhang Fei and Ma Chao thought that Cao Jun's approach was because he was attacking the city at night, and he had no clear vision and was afraid. And the city will not consume many arrows because of this, because at the same time, Er Cao is also constantly consuming, far more than on the city wall.

As everyone knows, this is Cao Hong's strategy. As for why Xu Huang, who was very arrogant in the daytime, did not show up, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao naturally thought that he should attack the city from the west gate or the south gate, causing the pressure of attacking from three sides at the same time.

Zhang Fei naturally sent someone to investigate, and as soon as there was any movement, he immediately reported it.

The defense lasted until the fourth watch, when the Cao army suddenly launched a fierce attack at the same time, and the soldiers rushed up with cloud ladders, and the giant tree that hit the city gate was also pushed out, and it smashed heavily on the city gate.

Zhang Fei and Ma Chao hurriedly ordered the soldiers to throw stones downward, killing and injuring many Cao soldiers who tried to climb the city wall. Although the current forces are equal, the opponent is in a passive situation of attack, and there is still a chance of victory.

However, just as the battle was underway, Zhang Fei suddenly heard a report from the soldiers that Xu Huang had led everyone to the northwest corner of Luogu City, used a stone-throwing cart, and began to smash the city wall.

At this time, a large number of troops were concentrated in the direction of the east gate and the north gate, and when Zhang Fei quickly sent his deputy general Li Kan to stop Xu Huang, the city wall in the northwest corner was actually smashed down by Xu Huang.

"How could the city wall fall so lightly?" Knowing this information, Zhang Fei couldn't believe it.

"It should be that weakness, we haven't had time to inspect it yet, I don't know!" One of the guards replied in a sweaty rain.

Ah! Zhang Fei patted his head, knowing that he had a plan, Xu Huang, as a general defending the city, naturally knew everything about the defense situation in the city, so he had today's scene.

But at this time, it was too late to regret it, after Xu Huang smashed down the city wall, his soldiers frantically released arrows all the way, and rushed into Luogu City without fear of death.

Where is the deputy general Li Kan's opponent of Xu Huang, within a few rounds, he was cut down by Xu Huang with a giant axe. Xu Huang was well aware of the situation in the city, divided the soldiers into multiple roads, and started a street battle with the armies of Zhang Fei and Ma Chao.

Hearing that Xu Huang had already invaded the city, Cao Hong and Cao Zhen's offensive was particularly fierce.

The soldiers defending the city were inevitably panicked and their combat effectiveness declined, Ma Chao had a premonition that something was wrong, and hurriedly collected his troops to find Zhang Fei, and said: "Brother Yide, it is safer for us to withdraw from Luogu City." ”

Zhang Fei also thought so, the two of them quickly gathered soldiers and horses, rushed out towards the south gate, and did not see Cao Jun stop them all the way, and stopped the army at the wolf bèi ten miles away.

Luogu City, which had just been occupied for a day, was snatched back, and Zhang Fei suddenly felt that his face was gloomy, but now that Cao Hong and Cao Zhen have joined the camp, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to recapture Luogu City.

After a short rest, they retreated for another twenty miles, and Zhang Fei and Ma Chao re-established the camp. Both of them drooped their heads and neither said a word, but in fact, they were thinking about the same in their hearts.

Thousands of people shouldn't have changed Zhuge Liang's plan without authorization, and they should have worked in vain. Fortunately, the loss of soldiers and horses was not large, and then, Zhang Fei reported the matter to Liu Bei, Fa Zheng felt that he could not attack again, but he could take advantage of the emptiness of the city and return to the army to launch a surprise attack.

Zhang Fei and Ma Chao listened to the order and led the soldiers and horses under their jurisdiction to march all the way west and go to attack the city.

In Yiling City, Sun Shangxiang hesitated again and again, but still wrote a letter to his brother Sun Quan, hoping that his brother could join forces with Guan Yu to take Xiangyang City together and take Princess Wannian out, so that he could marry Wang Baoyu.
