Chapter 513: Yuan Tan, I Fight You
Outside the city of Xiapi, there is more than 10,000 Cao Cao's reserve team.
The sound of fighting in the city shook them.
Suddenly, a large number of enemies appeared at the top of the city and began to pour liquid.
"No, it's kerosene!"
"Didn't Lu Bu be caught? The enemy still resisted?"
It was not Sima Yi, Cheng Yu and others who woke up first, but those experienced veterans.
Amidst the exclamation, the entrance of the city gate became a sea of flames.
The people inside were reduced to ashes in a blink of an eye.
The troops behind could no longer enter the city, and retreated in fright.
Sima Yi's liver and gallbladder were torn apart, and his usual calm immediately fell apart, "No, we've been tricked!"
"Meng De!" Cao Hong, the general here, panicked for a moment, and immediately shouted angrily: "Pass my order, the whole army will attack the city!"
"No!"
"Why not?" Cao Hong glared at Sima Yi who had calmed down, "My lord is inside, and his life is in danger at any time!"
"Don't be impatient, general. The more you are in danger, the less you can panic. Listen to Zhongda and finish." Cheng Yu has always been mature and prudent.
Sima Yi said: "Lü Bu doesn't have many troops, and although my lord was ambushed, he is under the protection of an army of 20,000. If we want to annihilate our army that has entered the city, it is impossible for Lü Bu to concentrate his forces."
"So, it is certain that most of Xuzhou's army is in Ximen."
"It is very difficult for our army to break through the city defenses from here. Even if they can enter the city, they will be crowded together, and they will be killed by the enemy occupying favorable terrain."
"The south gate of Xiapi City has the lowest terrain, go to the south gate!"
Only then did Cao Hong realize that the west gate is the closest, but the other gates can really open a way to rescue Cao Cao.
So he acted immediately, and the army went to the south gate to attack the city.
In the city.
Because Yuan Tan Lu Bu's frontal breakthrough was too sharp,
Cao Cao had no choice but to order the army to enter the streets and alleys to avoid confronting the enemy head-on, but to fight for houses one by one.
In an attempt to use these houses as barriers to resist the enemy's attack.
He believes that the enemy's military strength is inferior to his own, as long as he continues to consume it, he will win in the end.
Cao Cao's flag is flying, as long as the flag does not fall, the army will not collapse.
However, he underestimated the heavy losses suffered by the army in advance, so that this plan was only half realized.
Today, certain streets and alleys have been seized as barriers, but in terms of military strength, the two sides are already evenly matched.
This made the street fighting between the two sides fierce.
The Xuzhou Army has logistical support, such as arrows.
In other words, in the short term, Cao Jun is at a disadvantage when he is surrounded. In the long run, it is at an absolute disadvantage.
This long-term, that is, one or two days.
"My lord, the flag of our army has appeared at the south gate!"
Xia Houyuan flew over the walls and became a spy, and found out this important information.
It's exciting news, but it's hard to elicit looks of joy at the moment.
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, "Everyone, this must be the strategy of Sima Yi and Cheng Yu. Now that the enemy's main force is here, and the outer forces are empty, they must have seized control of the city gate. Spread this news to the entire army and give it to the soldiers. Hope, let them fight the enemy bravely and wait for the moment to break through."
"Here!"
The messengers left one after another.
"Report...my lord, Yuan Tan and Lu Bu are here!" Xia Houen rushed over.
"Don't panic, hide elsewhere."
Cao Cao immediately left the house and disappeared among countless houses.
The battle between the two sides continued for another hour.
Yuan Tan and Lu Bu have been unable to locate the specific location of Cao Cao.
After all, most of Lu Bu's side are recruits, Cao Jun can still resist.
Especially when Cao Cao's archers also occupied some roofs.
It was getting late.
Street fighting is very difficult to fight in this situation.
The two sides temporarily stopped fighting.
State Shepherd House.
Lu Bu walked back and forth, "Eldest son, the enemy has occupied the south gate, and the rescue offensive is strong and strong. Our army is small and not strong enough. If we drag it on, we will be in danger of being defeated... …”
"Sima Yi, a young man, is difficult to deal with..." Li Ru said.
Yuan Tan drank tea, "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient. People like Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sima Yi are more panicked than us. No matter what, Cao Cao is surrounded. I predict that Cao Cao will break through tonight. The enemies at the south gate will definitely come out to meet them. It's hard to resist from the front, but we can continue to ambush on the way to the south gate."
Having said that, stand up, "Strive to eliminate Cao Cao and Liu Bei."
Lu Bu's troops are still very small, if he could have 5,000 more elite soldiers, Cao Cao would have been sent back to the west long ago.
But the fact is that it is impossible for everything to be perfect for us.
"Come on, let's study the route from the west gate to the south gate."
on the other hand.
Under the night, inside a private house in Xicheng.
"The incompetent!"
Cao Cao slapped Chen Deng out.
The slap was loud.
After everyone saw it, they suddenly felt pain in their faces.
Cao Cao was so angry. According to the original plan, he should have taken all of Xuzhou and achieved hegemony in the Central Plains.
But at this moment, 30,000 people have already died in battle, not to mention almost dying.
These are all the elite soldiers he brought out with great difficulty.
The contrast between the reality and the plan is too great, all because of the stupidity of the person in front of him, no matter how much he has, he can't swallow this breath.
Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Duke Ming calm down, who would have known that Lv Bu would risk his life and use such a trick, Li Ru and Chen Gong would definitely not dare to come up with such a trick."
That's what Yuan Tan came up with.
Thinking about it carefully, such a strategy is really rare in the ages.
At that time, Chen Deng couldn't help seeing Lie Xinxie, but he was plotted against.
"How did Yuan Tan find you?" Cao Cao roared angrily.
Chen Deng bowed to the ground, trembling, and there was still the arrogance he had when he captured Lu Bu. He also doesn't know how he was discovered.
Cao Cao will not give Liu Bei face, but he still needs this man's brother to help him break through.
It's not time to turn your back.
Cao Cao sat back and said coldly, "The south gate of the city has been occupied by Cao Hong's troops. Our army will break out from there tonight."
After finishing speaking, he stared at Liu Bei with bloodshot eyes.
I thought this was a pig teammate.
He also said that Chen Deng could be trusted.
Cao Cao recalled and found that what happened to Liu Bei was all black history.
"Cao Gong, Bei is willing to be the vanguard." Liu Bei walked out without hesitation under Cao Cao's gaze.
In today's matter, I really have no face to face the world. What do people think of him when the news spreads?
Still need to desperately make up for it.
At the same time, because of the low status, it had to be like this.
Cao Cao also meant the same thing. Seeing such initiative, his anger subsided a little.
...
Midnight is ten minutes.
The whole city of Xiapi was quiet, not at all like a battlefield involving hundreds of thousands of people.
But in the dark, hundreds of thousands of people were terrified and afraid to breathe.
There were more than 20,000 soldiers on both sides, none of them rested.
Like cheetahs, lurking in the dark, ready to kill the enemies that appear.
The house where Cao Cao lived was already brightly lit.
Hundreds of generals, all of them looked resolute, they must break through. Go back, there is a home that I can't let go of.
Generals like Xiahou Dun are all by Cao Cao's side.
"Breakthrough this time depends entirely on the bravery of the generals. Yun Chang, I think you are thin." Cao Cao said.
When Guan Yu heard this, he looked up at forty-five degrees, disdainful of explaining. It can also be seen that although living in a dangerous place, there is no panic.
Liu Bei might have misunderstood that even horses could not afford it, so he explained: "My second brother is heavy, but Qinglong Yanyue weighs eighty-two catties, and few horses can bear it."
Cao Cao nodded, "At this moment, Yun Chang's force is extremely important to break through the encirclement, so you can ride my Jueying for now."
Guan Yu was quite moved when he heard the words,
You must know that famous generals like famous horses. Guan Yu has been famous all over the world for many years, and he has never ridden a real BMW horse.
It is impossible not to be tempted. If there is no reason, he will never ride with his arrogance.
At this moment, he is not hypocritical, and when he gets on the horse, his momentum is different.
Cao Cao began to break through.
The quiet city of Xiapi suddenly turned into a violent Shura field.
"Catch Cao Cao, the one in the red robe is Cao Cao!"
"The one with the long beard is Cao Cao!"
The shout could be heard throughout the city.
This is a deliberate cry, which can damage Cao Jun's morale and affect Cao Cao's battlefield command thinking.
On a street, Cao Cao rode his horse and galloped.
He was not wearing a red robe, and his beard was wrapped in cloth.
Hearing the shout, he had already arrived, and sneered inwardly.
Along the way, countless enemies rushed out from the shadows, all of them were attracted by Liu Bei and others.
The disguised Cao Cao has always been safe.
Suddenly, he saw Yuan Tan.
The golden figure is very sensitive.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei were inseparable by his side.
run.
Cao Cao whipped his horse quickly, trying to hide.
However, the accompanying soldiers were killed in large numbers.
When the sound of horseshoes sounded around him, he realized that he was being overtaken.
At this moment, Cao Cao's heart sank to the bottom.
When the unforgettable golden gun hit his helmet.
Cao Cao's whole body trembled with horror.
No!
Died here!
Snowflakes are fluttering, the north wind is blowing, and the world is vast.
"Excuse me, General, let me tell you where Cao Cao is?" Cao Cao pretended to be afraid of death and hugged his head to cover his face, but in fact he was also afraid of death.
"Hehe~hehe~hehehe." Yuan Tan laughed, "Then tell me, well said, I will spare your life."
"The one riding the white horse in front is Cao Cao, and that horse is called Jueying. General, you can tell by looking at it."
"Hehe, Mengde, you are really insidious."
"What!" Cao Cao's eyes widened, he didn't expect to find himself a long time ago.
What he did just now made him too ashamed.
Panic, anger.
All of a sudden, new and old grudges, as well as the dignity of a hero, made him take off the cloth on his mouth, and pulled out the Yitian sword, "Yuan Tan, you can't be humiliated! I will fight with you!"
With a clang, Yuan Tan easily blocked the sword.
Cao Cao's liver and gallbladder were broken, and he vaguely remembered that when the princes attacked Dong Zhuo, his military strength was not his opponent at all.
Since having a nunchuck around his waist, his force has risen sharply.
"drive!"
Cao Cao hit the horse and ran away. Unexpectedly, he had disguised himself and met Yuan Tan instead. Liu Bei pretended to be himself, but it was safe. Heaven has no eyes!
Of course Yuan Tan couldn't let it go.
"Don't hurt my lord!"
Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan came.
"Duke Cao, let's go, Guan Yu is coming!"
"Zhang Fei is here, and Yuan Tan is ordered to come!"
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xia Houyuan and Xia Hou Dun came to rescue Cao Cao after hearing the news, and fought against Yuan Tan, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu.
"Don't panic, my lord, Lu Bu is here."
Lu Bu also came to inquire.
Guan Yu and the others looked at each other, and they probably couldn't beat it.
At this moment, Cao Cao had already disappeared, and there was no reason for them to be killed here.
Pull the horse and leave.
...
An hour later.
Hundreds of thousands of people came out of their homes at dawn to cheer for Lu Bu's victory.
If Cao Cao seizes Xiapi, he will definitely not stay behind.
The head of the city is covered with heads, the most striking of which is Chen Deng's head.
The head of the family who has shaken Xuzhou for a hundred years ended in failure in this troubled world.
With his death, his family will also perish.
State Shepherd House.
Most of the generals were wounded, and some of them were seriously injured on crutches, but they often laughed.
Lu Bu sighed, "It's just a pity that Cao Cao left."
Yuan Tan was still very happy.
People like Cao Cao and Liu Bei ran away, and there was no other way.
With a few thousand troops against an enemy that is almost ten times larger, it is already very good to be able to almost wipe out the enemy's army.
These are all Cao Cao's elite troops. If it was not for the rescue of the Lord, they would not have been disabled.
After sacrificing nearly 30,000 people, Cao Cao was able to escape from Xuzhou City.
In addition, there are Sima Yi's intrigues.
If Yuan Tan hadn't reacted properly, Cao Jun might have turned defeat into victory.
Recalling this moment, I still burst into a cold sweat.
Today's results are acceptable.
He said with a smile: "After today, the names of Marquis Wen and you all will shake the world."
Lu Bu hastily clasped his fists in a salute, and said gratefully, "Don't dare, this battle depends entirely on the eldest son."
All the generals also clasped their fists and saluted, "Thank you, Eldest Prince, for rescuing me from Xuzhou."
The two sides were in harmony.
Li Rudao: "My lord, after this battle, I am in Xuzhou. However, I am afraid that the Great War in the Central Plains is about to break out. Please prepare early, my lord."
It seems that Li Ru is the best at planning the situation and sees that there must be changes.
Lu Bu said, "Young Master, don't worry, I, Xuzhou, will fully support you."
The rest of the generals, including Zang Ba, stepped forward one after another. If Yuan Tan had difficulties, they would go all out.
