Chapter 215 Recapturing Dingtao City
"Oh, brother! You are finally here. Cao is looking forward to the stars and the moon, but he is tired of waiting." After Wen Du arrived at the camp, Cao Cao ran non-stop to the gate of the camp to welcome him.
"Brother Meng De is so polite. Now we are all a family. How could I not come over quickly?"
"That's natural, that's natural!" Cao Cao, who couldn't hide his joy, pulled Wen Du cordially as usual and walked towards the apartment. "Brother, can you tell Cao that you are here to take care of us this time?"
How many people and horses are there?”
"Seventy thousand people."
"Well..." After hearing the number of people, Cao Cao suddenly became silent. When Wen Du asked the reason, he explained: "I have found out before you came. The general opposite is named Ma Chao, and he is the son of Ma Teng, the governor of Xiliang.
I have about 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, plus the traitor Zhang Miao’s 20,000 troops, which makes the total number 70,000. The combined army of you and me can only amount to 120,000, so it’s not easy to fight..."
"Isn't that right, brother? We have 50,000 more people. Isn't it difficult to fight?"
"I don't understand. The Xiliang cavalry is the best cavalry team in the world. Cao can guarantee that there will be no more powerful cavalry than him in the entire Central Plains."
"I know how powerful they are, but I didn't force myself to come here. The mountain people have their own tricks~"
"What's a clever plan? Tell me quickly!" Seeing Wen Du's ease and ease, Cao Cao was extremely anxious.
But Wen Du still wanted to show off, and waved his finger in front of Cao Cao. "Just wait, I will let you witness the miracle tomorrow."
Let’s look at Cao Cao, who was extremely curious and couldn’t sleep all night. With dark circles under his eyes, he arrived the next morning and embarked on a journey with a heavily armed army...
"Let's go to Shanyang County first. Among the three counties, Jiyin County has the weakest troops, so I put all the siege equipment in Shanyang County. When we arrive, we can divide our troops into two groups and go to Wu County.
He Chengshi County is approaching Dingtao..."
Cao Cao, who was riding a horse, held a map and tilted his head to discuss the attack route with Wen Du. He was walking half a step behind them, while Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were acting as bodyguards, were looking at each other intentionally or unintentionally...
"What do you think I'm doing?" Xu Chu, who couldn't hold himself back, asked first.
Dian Wei on the other side responded not to be outdone: "It's obviously you, a black man, spying on me, why did you file the complaint first?"
"Fart! What ability do you have to make me so afraid?"
"Isn't this easy?" Dian Wei, who seized the opportunity, showed two rows of big white teeth and helped Xu Chu recall: "A few months ago, in front of Jianping City, I fought you for 300 rounds, and in the end I was the one who knocked you down first.
Yes, this is something we can all see, you can’t deny it, right?”
"I don't deny it, but at that time I had a fierce fight with a bearded man, and my strength was exhausted, which gave you an opportunity. If I were in good spirits, I could fight ten of you by myself."
"Hey, do you dare to spar with me now?" Dian Wei, who had the same bad temper as Xu Chu in his body, could not ignore these words. He stood on his horse's hoof and invited Xu Chu to practice alone with him.
"It's almost done!" Seeing that Xu Chu and Dian Wei were about to dismount, Wen Du, who was walking at the front, stopped with a somewhat unhappy tone: "We are going to fight on the battlefield! Don't go crazy here! You two are delaying
This is a major event for the entire army, do you understand?!"
"I finally realized my mistake..." After clearly noticing that Wen Du's tone at this moment was completely different from usual, Xu Chu lowered his head to apologize and silently returned to the team.
When Dian Wei saw this, he wanted to taunt him, until his eyes turned to Cao Cao, who also had some anger on his face. Dian Wei hurriedly tightened the corners of his mouth and quickly returned to his original position...
After two days of marching, they finally arrived at Changyi County, the seat of Shanyang County, and met Xiahou Dun who was originally waiting here.
"Lord, after receiving your order, the last general has already sent Lu Zhao, Zhu Jin and 30,000 troops to rush to Liangqiu City with some siege equipment."
"Well done. Immediately order the remaining troops, equip them with food, fodder, and ordnance, and set out for Chengshi County this afternoon."
"promise."
After arranging for the Xiahou brothers to go about their errands, Cao Cao turned to Wen Du and asked, "How to get there? Are you going to Chengshi or Chengwu?"
"That's fine. We're all going to Dingtao anyway. The important thing is, is Ma Chao in Dingtao City?"
"No, according to reliable information, Ma Chao is stationed in Dongjun and is building a bridge at the Yellow River ferry north of Puyang. He wants to connect with Jizhou..." When he mentioned this news, Cao Cao frowned. If the bridge is built,
, then the natural dangers of the Yellow River he relied on directly turned into a joke.
"That means Dongjun is the place with the most enemy soldiers." After chatting, Wen Du patted Cao Cao on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, the Yellow River is 700 meters wide. It will take two days anyway. We are here
Fighting on one side will definitely attract reinforcements from the other side, there is always a way."
"Hey, then I can only accept my brother's good words..."
After chatting with Cao Cao for a while, the next morning after a night's rest, the army divided into two groups. Wendu went to Chengshi, and Cao Cao went to Chengwu. As Wendu said, the two small counties were just side dishes, without any
It was taken down at a great cost, and the two teams joined forces in front of Dingtao City...
"Boy above, listen! Call your general out and fight me to the death!"
Xu Chu ran to the city gate and shouted loudly. The city gate slowly opened, and a general with a hundred soldiers ran out and shouted at him: "Humph! How can we deal with a rat like you without a general?"
?I am enough!"
Xu Chu, a man with a bad temper, hated being looked down upon the most. No, right after the general put down his naughty words, Xu Chu, who was holding back his anger, had already rushed forward with a knife in his hand.
The general on the opposite side felt happy when he saw Xu Chu being so impulsive. Just because he thought he was a reckless man, he picked up a long-handled ax and was about to attack him!
"Cang!" Only this sound was heard, and wherever they looked, everyone saw Xu Chu's Tiger Roaring Knife pressing against the ax blade, and the blade had already touched the man's neck. Then, under the shocked look of the other person,
With one slash of the knife, blood spurted out. Xu Chu slashed with his backhand again, and the man's head flew directly to the ground.
"The general is dead! Run!" Before Xu Chu could say anything, the squad of 100 people who were raiding the formation on the opposite side wailed and fled towards the city.
"Hey! Is there anyone else? Call me out all of them!" Xu Chu stood up and walked back and forth at the gate of the city with a leisurely look. From time to time, he went up to the top of the city tower and yelled some quintessence of Chinese language.
Perhaps something was wrong, and I had suffocated my anger. The city gate opened in response, and a general walked out again. However, it was completely different from the last general. His aura was awe-inspiring, and his brows were free and easy.
.
But it was the same in front of Xu Chu. He pointed to the round head on the ground and said: "Hey, that guy, this man's body is still warm. I think you are only twenty years old, right? I advise you not to
If you are wronged, go back as soon as possible."
"Thanks for the reminder, but there is no general in the Zhang family in the North who escaped from battle!"
"Zhang family? Zhang Xiu?" After Wen Du, who was watching the show in the back, heard this, he took two steps forward and carefully looked at the man in front of him. Zhang looked quite handsome, and the suspicion in his heart became stronger.
"Cang!" Wen Du, who was deep in thought, was awakened by the sudden sound of gold and iron, and his thoughts returned to reality. The two generals in front of him were already wrestling together...
"Brother Huang, you will see the opportunity later, place an arrow, and shoot his horse. Ziyi and Xingba will go to capture the people. Zilong, Zijun, Yi Ling, you three will lead your troops and rush forward later. Don't
Let them close."
"Ah?" Taishi Ci was stunned for a second after hearing this order, then shook his head and refused: "I won't do it!"
Before Wen Du could ask the reason, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Ren all expressed the same thoughts as Tai Shi Ci.
"Why?"
"They are fighting alone. To fire a cold arrow at this moment is morally clumsy. I will not be able to accept the order."
After Huang Zhong finished speaking, the other three nodded one after another. In response, Wen Du looked up to the sky and sighed: "You are already on the battlefield fighting for your life, why are you talking about morality? Do you want to piss me off to death..."
"How about letting my men come?" Just when Wen Du was helpless, Cao Cao ran over secretly and whispered in his ear: "I asked Miao Cai to shoot the arrow, and asked Yuan to let them go up and seize the door."
"Well, brother, you are quite shrewd." Wen Du was 180% willing to offer help in times of need. After all, he was not very moral.
"Xingba, you won't let me down, will you?"
Looking at Wen Du who stretched out his head and whispered to each other, Gan Ning replied thoughtfully: "Although I don't understand the meaning of falling off the chain, but how have I ever gotten out of trouble in the matter entrusted to me?"
Seeing Gan Ning's answer, Wen Du found some comfort. After all, there was someone who could hold the same thoughts as him.
Looking ahead, Xu Chu and Zhang Xiu have been fighting for an unknown number of rounds. Just as Zhang Xiu turned around with his gun and suddenly fought back, the horse under his crotch neighed and fell down...
Let's just say that Xiahou Yuan fired the arrow for only three seconds. Before the others could react, Gan Ning, who was holding on to the reins tightly, had already run out on horseback. Xiahou Dun, Zhu Jin, and Lu Zhao, who were beside Cao Cao, started fiercely with the three thousand cavalry behind them.
rush!
When our own side moves, the enemy will naturally move. After seeing Zhang Xiu fall from his horse and being flanked, the thousands of soldiers behind him also began to approach the battlefield. One second, three seconds, and ten seconds later, they were fighting each other to the death.
, at this moment, no one knows where the duel venue was.
"Listen up! The city has been destroyed and the general has been captured. Why don't you surrender quickly?!" On top of the city tower, Gao Shun shouted at the top of his voice to stop the melee, and pulled the tied-up Zhang Xiu up to the ground.
In front of people. "If you want him to live, put down your weapons!"
Although Zhang Xiu, who was gagged, shook his head repeatedly, firstly, the sword was placed on his neck; secondly, if he was beaten again, they would all die, so this group of people happily put down all their weapons...
Chapter completed!
