Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 416 Eight Vs Eight Under Suzhou City

Lao Cao made a temporary plan to defeat Wei Zhong and swindle Wuxi, so he stayed in Wuxi city that night.

Because there were too many thieves captured, Lao Cao sent Wu Yong to lead two generals, Tang Bin and Shan Shiqi, and two thousand soldiers to stay behind.

He himself led three thousand troops to attack Pingjiang Mansion in Suzhou.

The distance between Wuxi and Suzhou is only tens of miles, and they go out early and arrive at dusk. In the evening, the army has already approached the city, and they set up a camp under Hanshan Temple.

The three kings, Fang Maung, did not expect the officers and soldiers to advance so quickly, and were greatly shocked: "Lu Shi Nang has 5000 soldiers, Qian Zhenpeng has soldiers, and a certain family has sent Xing Zheng and Wei Zhong one after another, and there are also troops. Counting it together, it’s almost yuan, could it be that the yuan is all made of clay and plastic paper? It’s only a few days, how can he be beaten here!”

He has eight powerful generals under his command, collectively known as the Eight Hussars, the leader of which is the "Flying Dragon General" Liu Yun (sound halo), seeing his appearance troubled, he immediately remonstrated: "Why worry about the three kings? Let me wait for eight This one is here, with soldiers in the city, how can we still lose him?"

Fang Mao snorted coldly: "Lu Shinang and the Twelve Gods of the South of the Yangtze River probably think the same way."

Liu Yun said with a chuckle, "The twelve gods who have gained a false name are not on the same level as the eight of us? The three kings don't want to build up the ambitions of others and destroy their own prestige - tomorrow we will send troops and invite him alone to fight. Kill eight of his generals, and his power will naturally decline, and the three kings will fight each other, and they will definitely win a big victory."

Seeing that he was full of confidence, Fang Mao turned his anger into joy: "If this is the case, this king will ask for credit for the eight of you, and please give me a generous reward, Brother Wang."

The next day, Fang Xiang put on a golden helmet and armor, carried a Fangtian painted halberd, and ordered troops to form a formation at the bottom of the city.

When Cao Cao heard the news, he also led a group of brothers out of the camp. Seeing Cao Cao standing in the middle, Fang Maang knew that he was the commander in chief. He pointed his hand and shouted, "Hey! You are the one who led the army to invade my territory? And report your name. .”

Cao Cao smiled and said: "It's easy to say, Qingzhou Li Dunzi!"

Fang Ming was surprised when he heard this: "Deputy general?" Then he laughed: "Absurd, ridiculous, there is really no one in the Song army, and a mere deputy general should let him lead the army to fight."

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing: This guy is really short-sighted. He also said that he heard that he was only a lieutenant general, and he would recruit him with a high position and rich salary, but he actually laughed at him face to face.

He smiled and replied: "You were a villager half a year ago, don't you call yourself a king like a dog now? It can be seen that there is no kind of general, and a man should be self-improvement-although Li's official position is low now, he will be equal to you. Villagers, they will naturally get promoted and get rich."

Fang Xiang was furious: "Let's not talk about it like you! Only I have eight strong generals under my command, do you dare to call eight out to fight?"

Cao Cao turned his head and looked at both sides, and saw that all the brothers were eager to try, so he said with a smile: "Well, if two of you and one of you are not considered a good man. We also have eight people here to fight with you. Anyone who kills off the horse, Carry them back to the main formation, and you are not allowed to snatch them, and you are not allowed to stab people in the back."

Fang Mao nodded his head and shouted, "Where is Bahu!"

The eight responded in unison: "The end is here!" They all clapped their horses forward.

Are those eight generals at the end?But it is: "Flying Dragon General" Liu Yun, "Flying Tiger General" Zhang Wei, "Flying Bear General" Xu Fang, "Flying Leopard General" Guo Shiguang, "Flying Sky General" Wu Fu, "Flying Cloud General" Gou Zheng, "Flying Mountain General" "General" Zhen Cheng and "Flying Water General" prosper.

Cao Cao said: "Which brother wants to fight with him?"

As soon as the voice fell, eight horses galloped out together, which eight were they?
"Living Code Wei" Wu Song, "Jade Qilin" Lu Junyi, "Sai Zhang Fei" Du Po, "Bull Demon King" Bian Xiang, "Nine Pattern Dragon" Shi Jin, "Sword and Sword Chaos" Yun Zongwu, "Xiao Wenhou" Lu Fang, "Sai Rengui" Guo Sheng.

The generals of the two sides met each other without talking. They all shouted together, each brandished their weapons, and looked for their opponents to fight. On both sides of the battle, they all beat the drums of war. Countless eyes from the upper and lower walls watched him fight together.But see:

The dust and iron armor are filled with coldness, and the evil spirit soaring into the sky is wrapped around the dragon.

The battle flag is waved and the sound of killing is heard, and the heroes are fighting with passion.

First round:
Wu Song fought against the Flying Dragon General, and the double halberds thundered like thunder.

It is commendable that Liu Yun is so brave, he cuts the wind and chases the shooting stars.

Second array:
The flying tiger will fight Lu Junyi, and the snowflakes will fly randomly with both guns.

Although Yu Qilin praised his heroism, the hero Zhang Wei is also very powerful.

Third team:
Fei Xiong will fight against Zhang Fei, and the shadow of the spear is like a dragon chasing after him.

The body is like a bear, the courage is like iron, and the two scholars Du and Xu want to compete for glory.

Fourth array:
Flying leopard generals in the south of the Yangtze River, and Bull Demon King in the northwest.

Bian Xiang opened the world with his big axe, and Shi Guang's two swords shone coldly.

Fifth array:
Shi Jin fought really hard, but Wu Fuzheng's battle was fruitless.

Nine-patterned dragons roar and the wind and clouds move, and souls fly to the sky and ghosts cry at night.

Sixth team:
Whoever flies around the clouds with a sword will be very powerful and prestige.

Gou Zheng danced with his spear in the air, and he was no match for Zong Zong's force.

Seventh formation:
Feishan will meet Xiao Wenhou, and the long halberds will make troubles in Haiqiu.

Today Lu Fang is not yesterday, Zhen Cheng crossed Hualiu in vain.

Eighth formation:
Holding a painting halberd and a knife, Guo Shengxiong is extremely prosperous and tall.

Who is like flying water generals in fierce battles?Sai Rengui put his life and death aside.

These sixteen generals fought to the death, and the 64 horseshoes kicked and trampled. As soon as he mentioned it, he blocked the spear with the moon blade of his handguard, and dragged it along the way. His odd-shaped long sword, with a hook protruding half a foot below the tip, immediately locked the spear. Gou Zheng was shocked and couldn't draw the spear. The serrated knife in the right hand cut out, and immediately cut Gou Zheng under the horse.

Cao Cao was overjoyed. In the battle of Shouyang Mountain in Xijing, he was besieged by Yun Zongwu and two other generals. Fortunately, Lu Junyi killed him in time. Zong Wu took some effort to win it. At that time, Lao Cao thought that his martial arts were not inferior to Zhu Jing, so he managed to subdue him with great difficulty. Now he really made a great contribution.

Seeing that one of the generals had been defeated, Fang Maang's heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to give the order to call for gold. Cao Cao was quick-eyed, and seeing him turn his head to wait for the order, he immediately shouted: "Three great kings called you great kings in vain, isn't it so small? Only losing one Do you have to concede defeat?"

He ruined Fang Xiang's plan, how could he put his face down?I had no choice but to shout: "As long as one fights one against one and fights fairly, this king will naturally not intervene."

Cao Cao laughed and told Yun Zongwu to return to the battle, and watched the remaining seven generals fight.

It turned out that the eight hussar generals of the bandits, four dragons, tigers, bears and leopards, were exceptionally superior, and the four Tianyun Shanshui were weaker.After another ten rounds of fighting, Shi Jin gave a tiger roar and slashed Wu Fu with a single blow, his face was even more embarrassing.

Wu Song, Lu Junyi, Du Po, and Bian Xiang are all rare masters in the world, don't they have arrogance in their hearts?After fighting for a long time now, Yun Zongwu and Shi Jin first made the credit, the four of them secretly felt ashamed, and gradually increased their strength in their hands.

Wu Song stared fiercely, and struck with all his strength with three or four halberds in a row. Liu Yun stood up with his saber and felt that this man was really like a god descending from the earth. When stabbing, when he wanted to dodge it, his strength was exhausted, and he screamed in his heart that it was not good, but when he heard a "puchi", there was a hole in his throat.

"Flying Dragon General" Liu Yun is the first expert among the eight hussars, he is the champion of the three armies, seeing him being beheaded, tens of thousands of southern soldiers all lost their colors.

Liu Yun fell from the horse for a moment, Lu Junyi stabbed Zhang Wei with one shot, and Du Po stabbed Xu Fang over with his spear. The two won almost at the same time.

Bian Xiang saw that all three of them were victorious, he gritted his steel teeth, and the big ax in his hand danced faster and faster.

Fang Xiang lost five generals in a row, he felt the pain piercing his heart, how could he care about his face?Shouted: "Retract troops, withdraw troops!"

Immediately there was a constant call for gold in the formation, but Cao Cao had never called gold here. How could Bian Xiang and the other three be willing to let go?Guo Shiguang was eager to return to the army, but he showed his flaws. Bian Xiang took advantage of the situation and chopped him into four pieces with his man and horse.

Fang Xiang yelled: "The rats are rude, I've already made money here, why do I want to chase after him?"

Cao Cao ignored him, and watched for a while, and saw that although Lu Fang and Guo Sheng tried their best, they could not suppress the enemy. They fought back and forth. He was also worried about making mistakes, so he also ordered the gold call, and the four generals returned to the front.

Fang Mao knew that his team's morale had been completely shattered, so he didn't dare to fight randomly, so he ordered people to come up and carry the bodies of the six people killed in battle, and returned to the city in despondency.

Cao Cao watched him return to the city, and couldn't help sighing.

Seeing his brother sighing, Wu Song quickly asked, "Brother, today's generals have won eight battles and six battles, why are you still sighing?"

Cao Cao sighed: "I hoped that this guy would lose in a hurry and send troops to fight. Although he has far more soldiers than me, one is not well trained, the other is not well equipped, and the third is demoralized. I just took the opportunity to defeat him In short, he seized the city immediately, but he knew the opportunity and retreated obediently—in this way, if he defends the city and does not come out, I have few soldiers here, but it will be difficult to attack this city."

Immediately he also withdrew his troops and returned to the stronghold, but called a group of brothers to discuss in the Chinese army tent how to attack his city.

Fan Rui said: "This city has high walls and is surrounded by water ports. If you want to attack by force, you will suffer a lot of damage—in fact, brother, I have made a lot of contributions by attacking the city and pulling out the stronghold. Those Western troops behind , Is it true that he is allowed to sit back and enjoy the success? It is better to return to Wuxi and wait until Tong Guan arrives, and let him make his own claim."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "That's not bad. I've made such a rapid advance, and the offensive is like fire. I'm afraid that the generals of the Western Army behind are already in a hurry. I'm going to stay in Suzhou, and then let them go to the front to fight for success. Looking at it now, it doesn’t hurt to let go of Suzhou.”

The brothers laughed when they heard this, and Ruan Xiaoqi suddenly shouted: "Since this city is a water port, isn't it time for the three of us to show our faces? Brother, don't go back to the army, wait for my three brothers to find a boat and go around The city for a week, to see if we can take profit from the waterway, and break his city."

Cao Cao said: "I counted the time. Tong Guan's army should have arrived in Yangzhou. It's okay to delay for a few more days. If you want to, it's okay to try, but you don't have to risk your life - it's best to win it, but it's best if you can't win it." It doesn't matter."

The three heroes of the Ruan family took orders in unison, and were about to go out to look for the boat, when Niu Gao suddenly shouted: "I have magic weapon to break the waves, crossing the water is like walking on flat ground, and I happen to be working with the three brothers of the Ruan family."

Thinking of his treasure, Cao Cao nodded and said: "You can go if you want, but everything will be handled by your second brother Ruan, and you must not act recklessly."

Niu Gao laughed and said: "I listen to him in everything."

At that moment, Sanxiong Ruan took Niu Gao out of the tent, found a fast boat at the nearby canal wharf, four of them boarded the boat, and walked slowly around the river channel of the city. Although they saw several water gates, they were tightly guarded. , difficult to sneak into.

The three brothers said melancholy: "If so, I have to retreat from my brother."

Niu Gao rolled his eyes, but said: "The three elder brothers of the Ruan family, let me just listen to what my younger brother said. When we were fighting Tianhu the year before last, Li Kui and I went to look for my elder brother. Brother Qiao Daoqing almost flooded the fleet. Now The spring water is rising, can we think of a way to flood the city?"

Ruan Xiaoqi's eyes lit up, he jumped up and said, "Brother, I think this strategy works! The left and right camps are next to Hanshan Temple, if there is a flood, it will be safe to go up the mountain ahead of time."

Ruan Xiaowu also said: "The Taihu Lake is next to it, but that lake is bigger than our Liangshan Lake. I might as well go and check it out later. If I can do it, I will see the glory of you and my brother."

Seeing that they all had the same intention, Ruan Xiaoer slowly nodded and said, "It's okay to have a look."

The four immediately rowed the boat and went straight to Taihu Lake along the waterway. They saw the vastness of the waves and the line of water and sky. It really is a big lake.

The three heroes of the Ruan family were all born in the water, and they have the ability to observe hydrology. After a closer look, Ruan Xiaoer nodded and said: "This lake can pass through canals. If there is water, and the canals are dug, it can flood other cities. , it’s just the specific situation, you have to find a high place to see it clearly.”

The four Zhang searched, and Ruan Xiaowu pointed at it: "The hill in the lake should be the highest place, if you climb on it, you will be able to see it clearly."

The four of them didn't know that this mountain was Piaomiao Peak, the head of the 72 peaks in Taihu Lake. They saw that it was located on a big island in the lake, and regardless of many things, they rowed the boat to the edge of the island and found a person. Dozens of fishing boats were moored at the small pier. The four of them smiled and said: "So this island is also inhabited." They didn't care, so they tied the boat by themselves.

Unexpectedly, Fang walked a few steps to the shore, suddenly there was a sound of gongs in the dense forest, two or three hundred ferocious men jumped out in all directions, each carrying a single knife and harpoon, and surrounded the four of them.

The four of them were startled, Ruan Xiaoqi shouted: "Hey! The people here are so fierce, our Shijie Village has never been so arrogant!"

Ruan Xiaoer remained steady, bowed to the surroundings, and said slowly: "I have four brothers, there is no malice, I just want to climb the peak to see the scenery, if the master doesn't allow it, I will leave later."

As soon as the words fell, four voices laughed strangely in unison, and then the crowd parted, revealing four figures: the first was a man with red beard and yellow hair, dressed in a green silk jacket, the second man was thin, long and short bearded, with a black collar A green brocade shirt with a collar, the third person has a black face and long beard, the fourth person has a bone face with broad cheeks and a fan-shaped beard, and both of them have green napkin jackets.

These four people each wore a certain black felt hat on their heads, and they all held weapons beside them, the four laughed, and one of them said coldly: "Our island is not where you can come and leave whenever you want! "

This is exactly: the eight hussies under the city fought fiercely, and the four friends in the lake met again.Why break the city and turn the waves, there are heroes to help make meritorious deeds.
