Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 446 Meng Dejing Offers Three Strategies

Fang Qifo's army, with men's titles and horses picking bells, wanted to take advantage of the night to cover up and rob Tongguan's camp.

Unexpectedly, less than two miles out of the city, the sound of shouting and killing came from behind like a mountain roar and a tsunami. When everyone looked back, they saw flames shining in the sky in the east of the city. I was going to attack his camp, but he also planned to steal my city, what should I do?"

Pang Wanchun said anxiously: "Most of the soldiers and horses in the city have been brought out. Shi Bao and Si Xingfang are all wounded. Losing the city is a trivial matter. If it is destined to be lost in the city, what face do we have to go to see Shenggong? "

What he meant was to return aid.

"Ghost General" Li Tianyou heard the sound and shouted: "There are still more than soldiers in the city, and my brother is sitting in the town. It's so easy to let him take down? Since the officers and soldiers are attacking the city, their homes must be empty. If they go straight to kill Kill Tong Guan, and the officers and soldiers will be defeated."

Fang Qifo nodded again and again, gritted his teeth and said, "Tianyou's words are not bad. Running back and forth, you will undoubtedly be blamed by others! Just don't ignore them completely——Li Tianyou, Chao Zhong, Zhang Tao, Su Jing, four of you Five thousand soldiers and horses, go around behind the siege officers and soldiers, kill him for a while, and defend the city. The rest of the people will still follow me to attack the Tongguan camp."

The four flying generals took orders in unison, ordered their soldiers and horses, turned around and went straight to the east city.

A few flowers bloomed, one for each branch, but it was said that in Hangzhou City, Fang Qifo led Pang Wanchun and a group of flying generals to fight out, and only Fang Tianding, Deng Yuanjue, and the three Marshals of the East, South and West were left in charge.

Among them, Deng Yuanjue was kicked by Yao Pingzhong as a bird, swollen like a small radish, lying on the Zen bed and mourning, Si Xingfang cut a hole in his neck, Shi Bao took an arrow from Wang Shunchen on the shoulder, and they were all recovering from their injuries.

As for Cao Cao and others, they are guest soldiers. Could it be that he was assigned to stay overnight?Only Li Tianrun took the lead and led hundreds of soldiers to patrol the city. As he was walking, he suddenly heard the sound of killing in the east city, so he hurried away.

In the east of Hangzhou, there are more than Huanqing soldiers and Xihe soldiers, who are distributed according to Tongguan. It also attracted the attention of the defenders to cover the attack on the water gate by the Yanyan soldiers in the west.

Unexpectedly, there were really very few soldiers on duty in his city. The officers and soldiers built a pontoon bridge across the moat, erected fifty or sixty ladders in a row, and with all their might, they directly killed the city wall!

The generals Yang Keshi and Xin Xingzong of these two officers and soldiers were both seriously injured and never went to battle. The leaders were Zhao Ming and Yang Weizhong. The general was badly damaged, so he was specially released to perform his crimes and meritorious deeds.

When the two of them saw the officers and soldiers attacking the city wall, they couldn't help being overjoyed: ah, the bandits and soldiers were completely defenseless, and the first victory in breaking the city fell into the pockets of the two of us.

At this moment, Li Tianrun arrived, a horse and a knife, rushed straight to the city from the horseway, and shouted: "'Ghost Commander' Li Tianrun is here, who dares to take my city!" The knife danced into a ball of cold light, so Wherever he passed, corpses were everywhere.

Hundreds of soldiers behind him also committed suicide and came to the city to kill with one heart, and the officers and soldiers became more and more unstoppable.

Yang Weizhong was shocked when he saw it and said: "The thief will be very brave. If he is allowed to be fierce, how can this city be captured?"

Immediately rushed to the bottom of the city, dragged the gun with one hand, found a ladder farther away, climbed up the city in three steps in two steps, and rushed towards Li Tianrun from behind.

Among the chaotic army, it was another night battle. Li Tianrun only cared about fighting, so why did he pay attention to his back?He was shot in the shoulder and back, screamed, and fell off the horse.

Those personal soldiers rushed to rescue them, Li Tianrun scrambled and fled away, but Yang Weizhong was not willing to let go, he yelled, his spear was like willows in the wind, and instantly overturned more than ten of them.

When the officers and soldiers saw that the lord would go to the city in person, their morale was greatly boosted, and the southern soldiers retreated step by step.

At this time, there were more and more officers and soldiers in the upper city, and Yang Weizhong pressed on every step of the way. Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Li Tianrun reluctantly shouted: "Follow me to the palace, meet the eldest prince, and then make sense."

He was seriously injured, unable to wield a big knife, he drew his waist knife, and several soldiers who could fight were protecting him desperately, they fell down the city wall and went straight to Nan'an Palace.

Li Tianrun abandoned the east city here, but his brother Li Tianyou came here from outside the city. The officers and soldiers in the city were all looking at the city wall, but they didn't expect a group of soldiers to come from behind, and there was a sudden chaos.

Zhao Ming, the general of the Song Dynasty, was sitting outside the city, and hurriedly commanded his soldiers and horses to turn around and kill the enemy. He also hurriedly got on his horses, and encountered the "Leopard" Su Jing. Jing, shouted: "Don't panic! Kill all these bandits, and there will be rewards for all of them."

After saying that, he saw Chao Zhong, the "beheaded gentleman", and immediately rode his horse to kill him. Seeing Zhao Ming's bravery, Chao Zhong was timid and did not dare to fight, so he turned his head and ran away. Li Tianyou stabbed out obliquely. , brandishing a long knife, stopped Zhao Ming from fighting fiercely.

The two fought for more than ten rounds, "Crazy Tiger" Zhang Tao came to him, cut Zhao Ming in half with a knife in the back.

The officers and soldiers were terrified, and they climbed to the city wall to escape for their lives. When Li Tianyou saw this, he cursed angrily, rushed across the city river, and chopped down the ladders one by one.

In the midst of the chaos, the city gate suddenly opened wide, but it was Yang Weizhong who led seven or eight hundred Xihe soldiers, went down from the city wall to the city, opened the door and came out to rescue, marked the gun in his hand, poked Chao Zhong over, stepped forward and drew the gun, Kill him with another shot, snatch his horse and ride it to fight Li Tianyou.

Li Tianyou is used to madness, the world is not afraid, so he came to fight, the two fought for a while, Zhang Tao sneaked around from behind, and wanted to use his trick to kill Zhao Ming, but Yang Weizhong had noticed it earlier, and suddenly turned around and shot , Zhang Tao was caught off guard, and he shot him in the throat, knocked him down and fell off his horse and died.

Li Tianyou was taken aback, only then did he realize that Yang Weizhong's killing method was comparable to that of ordinary people, so he led his horse to escape across the city river.

After all, there were many officers and soldiers, and now that Yang Weizhong was in command, the panic gradually subsided, and the southern soldiers couldn't stand.

"Ghost Commander" Li Tianrun was shot in the shoulder and back, blood gushed out like a spring, he forcibly killed the city wall, and then fell unconscious, thanks to the loyalty and bravery of his soldiers, several people took turns carrying it on their backs, and ran to Fang Tianding's mansion, Fang Tianding was covered in armor, Looking anxiously at the east, he suddenly saw Li Tianrun covered in blood being carried on his back. He was shocked, and hurriedly asked the doctor of Fuzhong to treat and bandage him.

The soldier babbled about the battle, and when he learned that the east city had fallen, Fang Tianding felt cold all over his body. He hurriedly went to find Cao Cao, and begged, "Brother Song, what should we do? I'll wait for the general to take advantage today, and come back tomorrow." Winning a game is a big victory! Uncle Qifo wanted to do his bad trick, but he thought of something with Tong Guan, the old eunuch who couldn't afford to lose. There is emptiness in my city, let me kill you!"

Cao Cao patted him and said: "My dear brother, don't panic, and count all the soldiers and horses in the city. My brothers will lead them and take the east city back. Naturally, nothing will happen."

Fang Tianding seemed to have found a life-saving straw, he pecked his head like rice, and quickly sent people around to urge the troops to gather in the mansion.

Not long after, 8000 people gathered, and Lao Cao led the brothers out. Before he could speak, he heard a shocking cry from the west of the city. The Qingbo Gate, Yongjin Gate, and Qiantang Gate were on fire at the same time. To report: "Eldest Prince, what a disaster! Tens of thousands of Western troops sneaked across the West Lake and entered through the three water gates."

Fang Tianding was dumbfounded, stumbled and groaned: "Ah, this eunuch is shameless, I am only a soldier when I went to attack him, but he came to attack my city from two sides! Brother Song, what should I do?"

Cao Cao spread his hands: "Since this is the case, the general situation is over. There are only a few thousand people here. It is difficult to seize one side of the city, let alone lose both sides. There are only three strategies for the present, and my brother can choose one."

Fang Tianding cheered up: "Brother Song, tell me and I will listen."

Cao Cao said: "The first strategy is to abandon the whole army in Hangzhou and go out of the north gate to chase Fang Zuoshi. After all, the army is in another place. After the rendezvous, killing Tong Guan will be a big victory. If you can't kill him, With soldiers and horses in hand, it is easy to deal with him."

Fang Tianding shook his head again and again: "North of the Qiantang River, all were recovered by officers and soldiers. If Tong Guan cannot be killed, he will be surrounded by soldiers and horses. How can he cross the river in a hurry?"

Cao Cao didn't say much, and said: "The second strategy is simple. We will gather our troops to guard the palace and wait for the Fang Zuo envoy to return."

Fang Tian decided to shake his head faster: "Impossible, if Uncle Seven Buddhas is slow to come back, or if Tong Guan is prepared and kills him, wouldn't we be in a dead end?"

Cao Cao said with a smile: "So there is only a third strategy. While the officers and soldiers are not encircled, go out of the south gate, go straight to Muzhou, join Shenggong, and then look for an opportunity to fight Tongguan."

Fang Tianding was overjoyed: "Okay! This strategy is really excellent! If that's the case, don't delay, I'll set off right away!"

There are different teachings: Guishuai is injured and abandons his sword, and the famous city is broken.Meng Dejing offered three strategies, and God would like to choose one word to escape.
