Xuzhou, five counties and sixty-two counties, since the Han Dynasty Gaozu Liu Bang dominated the world, it is called the land of dragon flying, the Han Dynasty for four hundred years, I don't know how many literati and ink writers, fierce generals and strategists, can be called outstanding people, Pengchengguo as an important town in Xuzhou, this is a prosperous place, but at this moment, the clouds of war shrouded in the sky over the entire Pengchengguo, especially in the last few battles, almost every battle was lost, if it were not for the Qingzhou general Tai Shici to help, this Pengchengguo, may have already been broken.
In the meeting hall, there was an indescribable dull atmosphere, Xuzhou general Cao Bao looked defeated, he was on the battlefield before, he was almost killed by Xiahou Dun, if it wasn't for Tai Shici's timely rescue, at this moment he may have become a dry bone in the grave.
Tao Qian sat on the main seat, his face was not good and he couldn't see anywhere, when he killed Cao Song, he had already thought that Cao Cao would come to deal with him, and made corresponding preparations, before the war, he had great confidence in the confrontation with Cao Cao, Xuzhou has a wide land, a lot of grain, and more Danyang elite soldiers, and the comprehensive strength is more than twice as strong as Cao Cao, who is attacked on all sides.
He didn't expect that the Xuzhou army, which he thought was strong, would be so vulnerable in the face of Cao Cao's army.
In this hall, there are still people who are in the mood to speak, and I'm afraid there are only Tai Shici and Zang Ba who came to help.
"There should be more soldiers and horses here, Cao Cao is very good at using strange, there are a lot of mountains here, there are many troops under Xuangao who are good at mountain warfare, and Xuangao is tired of sending troops to garrison here."
Tai Shici pointed to a place with dense mountains and forests on the sand table, discussing military affairs with Zang Ba beside him, and the dull atmosphere in the hall made the conversation between the two seem a little abrupt and awkward.
"General rest assured."
Zang Ba nodded, turned his head to look at the lifeless people, frowned slightly, and turned his head to look at Tai Shici.
Tai Shici shook his head slightly, hugged his fists at Tao Qian and said, "Tao Gong, if there is nothing else, Xuan Gao and I will retire first and go to rectify military affairs." ” When Tao Qian heard this, his godless eyes had some focus, and after all, he was a prince, and he quickly recovered, quickly got up, and barely squeezed out a little smile: "General Ziyi has worked hard for me in Xuzhou these days, and I am humbly ashamed, but now the morale of the three armies is low, and Ziyi has neglected him, and I hope Ziyi will not be surprised." ” "Tao Gong is too careful, Ci came by order, and he should protect Tao Gong with all his might."
Tai Shici shook his head, hugged his fists towards everyone, and left with Zang Ba.
"General, you said this Pengcheng, can you still defend it" Out of the meeting hall, Zang Ba looked at Tai Shici with a wry smile, he regretted coming to wade into this troubled water.
"Can't hold it" There was no one left and right, Tai Shici shook his head very dryly, and sighed: "Xuzhou seems to be strong and strong, but Tao Gongzu is not good at military affairs, and he is not against the elite of Cao Cao's hundred battles, not to mention the loss of righteousness." ” For Tao Qian's murder of Lao Tzu, Tai Shi Ci was deeply disgusted in his heart, if it weren't for the saint this time, and the military advisor also said that this Xuzhou was lost, Qingzhou was sandwiched between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, it was difficult to hold on for a long time, Xuzhou must be saved, Tai Shi Ci really didn't want to wade into this troubled water.
"That" Zang Ba looked at Tai Shici, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "What should I do for today's plan?"
Tai Shi Ci thought for a while and said: "Hold Cao Cao for a few days, I have already discussed with Tao Gongzu, the people of Pengcheng have begun to migrate to Xiapi, clear the wilderness, stretch Cao Cao's supply line, and slowly retreat to vent the morale of the enemy army." ” Zang Ba nodded, although in this way, the people and money will be lost, but it is also the only opportunity to deal with Cao Cao at present, the Xuzhou army has no unscrupulous generals, although Tao Qian is polite to Tai Shici and Zang Ba on the surface, in fact, he is very tight, grasping the military power and refusing to let go, he can only watch the Xuzhou army under the leadership of Cao Bao, and be defeated by Cao Jun again and again.
His Taishan army is weak and not good at this kind of positional warfare, while the Qingzhou army is Tai Shi Ci's new training, and it has only been a few months since it became an army.
"Knock Knock" The two were about to return to the camp to prepare for the war, but the rumbling war drums sounded outside the city, their faces changed, Tai Shici's eyes sank, and he immediately walked in the direction of the drums, and Zang Ba also hurriedly followed.
Outside Pengcheng, Cao Cao has already opened the formation, but did not attack, Tai Shi Ci and Zang Ba went up to the city tower, what they saw, just a black Cao army outside the city array, the queue is neat, the law is strict, that is, Tai Shi Ci and Zang Ba have fought with Cao Cao more than once, at this moment to see the Cao army formation, still exclaimed in my heart, this Cao army is the elite of a hundred battles, that is, the soldiers and horses of the Guanzhong court, I am afraid it will be slightly inferior.
At least when Tai Shici left Guanzhong, the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong were not like this.
"Cao Jun set up a formation, but did not attack the city, what is this for" Zang Ba looked at Tai Shi Ci in confusion, Tai Shi Ci was also a little puzzled, shook his head and said: "Wait and see." ” After the formation of the Cao army was completely opened, he saw that in the formation of the Cao army, a big man with a double halberd rode out of the horse, came to Pengcheng, looked up in the direction of the city, and shouted: "I am Dian Wei, the general under the command of Cao Gong, Tai Shi Ci He is coming to compete with me." ” Dian Wei is eight feet tall, burly, standing on horseback, like an iron tower, exuding a beast-like aura all over his body, but wherever he fights, he can feel a ferocious aura across the city wall, which makes many Xuzhou soldiers around look at it and change color.
"General, don't face the battle" Zang Ba's face changed, and when he saw that Tai Shici was about to go down to the city, he said in a low voice: "This is Cao Mengde's strategy to lure the enemy, if the general goes, I am afraid that he will be calculated." ” Tai Shi Ci smiled bitterly and pointed around: "If I don't go, I don't have to fight this battle." ” When Zang Ba heard this, he turned his head to look around, but saw that the soldiers around him were already blue, and their timid legs were trembling, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "If this is the case, then it will be a general." ” "I'm tired."
Tai Shi Ci nodded, took Zang Ba down to the city, the two rode war horses, and ordered five hundred elite soldiers, called to open the city gate, and rode out.
Five hundred people, are Tai Shici's personal soldiers, some of them are brought from Guanzhong, the low morale of the Xuzhou army has not affected them, after leaving the city, they lined up outside the moat, although there are only five hundred people, but in the face of thousands of troops, they are not afraid at all.
In the middle of the Cao army, Cao Cao looked at Tai Shi Ci, and then at the five hundred sharp soldiers behind him, and couldn't help nodding and praising frequently: "I don't want this Tai Shi Ci not only to have the style of a general, but also the men and horses under his command are far from being comparable to the Xuzhou army, it is really a rare good general, but unfortunately it can't be used by me." ” Tai Shici's current official position is second only to the state pastor, and it is appointed by the imperial court, and if there is a conflict of opinions, even Kong Rong's account can not be bought, although he is not a prince, but he can be regarded as a warlord with real power, and now Cao Cao has no capital to attract people.
"The imperial court sent this person to Qingzhou, named Auxiliary Kong Rong, which is really to control the princes."
Xi Zhicai's face was pale, and after coughing twice, he gasped a little and said: "However, Tao Qian, the minister, is not very trusting of this person, and he is on guard everywhere, the lord can act according to the plan, as long as Tao Qian forces Tai Shici away, Xuzhou can go down." ” When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but smile and look at Tai Shici, still a little regretful.
Tai Shi Ci had already ridden his horse to the front of the battle, and he could feel the ferocious aura exuded by Dian Wei at that moment, and the pressure that followed.
With a swing of the crescent halberd in his hand, Tai Shi Ci was about to speak, when Dian Wei had already clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and rushed towards Tai Shi Ci quickly in the mournful roar of the war horse.
Looking at the overwhelmed appearance of the war horse, the corners of Tai Shici's mouth twitched twice, and the crescent halberd in his hand slashed, slashing towards Dian Wei.
"Bell" Dian Wei double halberd, blocking the crescent halberd, and then slashed, although he held a short halberd, but Cao Cao specially built, each one is five feet long, full of weight, at this moment stretched out a slash, not much worse than the ordinary long weapon.
Tai Shi Ci hurriedly dodged to dodge, and then the crescent halberd swung and used his strength to pick Dian Wei's single halberd away, and then stabbed forward, straight to the other party's throat.
Seeing this, Dian Wei's complexion changed, and he hurriedly leaned back, avoiding Tai Shici's stab, and wanted to fight back, but the war horse under his crotch was a little unbearable, and retreated again and again.
"Waste" Dian Wei was furious, simply turned over and dismounted, glared at the still tired and foaming at the war horse, and kicked the horse's belly fiercely, the war horse was directly kicked out of a foot by him violently, and even could hear the sound of bone cracking, a sad scream, fell to the ground, and was kicked to death by his kick.
In the middle of the Chinese army, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, and opposite Dian Wei, Tai Shici also twitched the corners of his eyes, this person has all his strength, and it is really terrifying.
"Come again" Dian Wei was standing on the ground at the moment, but he was a lot more comfortable, looking at Tai Shici, he roared, and waved his halberd to pounce.
If it is an ordinary general, if he loses his horse on the battlefield, his combat power will plummet, but at this moment, this Dian Wei got off the horse, but the momentum rose wildly, and the pair of halberds fell like two wind dragons, Tai Shi Ci hurriedly danced the crescent halberd in his hand to parry, but ten moves, his arms began to tingle faintly, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly shook a move, pulled the distance away, and then turned the horse's head and launched an impact on Dian Wei.
"Bell" The arc flashed, three weapons were intertwined in one place, Dian Wei's body shook, roared, and his arms exerted force, shaking Tai Shi Ci's crescent halberd open, and then turned around suddenly, and the double halberd slashed down towards Tai Shi Ci's back, Tai Shi Ci hurriedly urged the war horse, the war horse accelerated suddenly, the crescent halberd from the bottom up, swept a cold light, and Dian Wei exchanged a move, ran five or six zhang away, and then slowly stopped, turned his head and looked solemnly at Dian Wei who was standing in place like an iron tower. t1706231537:
