Chapter 13o: Capture Pei Zhang Fei's power

After seven days of the army, war reports came from the front that Liu Bei's army was ambushed by Chen Gong and lost nearly 10,000 troops. However, under the desperate battle of the three generals of Guan, Zhang and Zhao, they finally turned defeat into victory. At present, the remaining 20,000 troops of Liu Bei's army have arrived twenty miles west of Peicheng and set up camp.

Cao Cao received this news and smiled, and all the generals understood it. In this battle, not only would he destroy Lu Bu, but he would also weaken Liu Bei's strength. As the saying goes, driving a tiger and swallowing a wolf.

However, Lu Bu is not an ordinary wolf. Although he does not have many soldiers under his command - he has just occupied Xuzhou and has less than 100,000 troops - his own bravery is not to be seen. With Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Chen Gong and others, it really takes some money to destroy him.

So, Cao Cao no longer waited and watched from the rear, and drove straight to 150,000 Cao's army to step up the march and came to join Liu Bei's army.

The troops of both sides were united, with a total of more than 170,000 soldiers, and the momentum was quite huge. Looking from Pei City, it was like a vast ocean, connecting the world, because Cao's army was equipped with blue military uniforms.

As for Liu Bei's army, they were wearing green military uniforms, but they could hardly show their existence when they were integrated in front of Cao's army several times more than they were.

Pei was originally just a place to station troops. Although the city wall was repaired by Liu Bei, its overall height and thickness were still unsatisfactory. The total city defense was 3535oo, which was a little worse than the city defense of 4848oo in Chenliu, Puyang and other cities.

It should not be very difficult to break through such a city defense. Since Lu Bu's army saw that Cao's army was powerful and adopted the tactic of not being able to come out of the city, Cao Cao decided not to waste time with Lu Bu's army. Today the whole army will rest and tomorrow the whole army will attack Peicheng.

No words all night.

The next morning, after breakfast, Cao's army and Liu Bei's army entered the city gates according to the arrangements they had made last night.

Among them, the Chen Liu army led by Cao Cao, with 60,000 troops, and the military generals were Cao Cao, Dian Wei, Xu Zhu and Jia Xu; they went to the southern city gate.

The Puyang army led by Xiahou Dun, with 45,000 troops, were Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin and Cao Hong; they went to the northern city gate.

The Luoyang Army led by Wu Fan, with 54,000 troops, were Wu Fan, Hua Xiong, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Ren, Lu Dai, Guo Jia, and the subordinate Li Zhan. He went to the west gate with more than 20,000 Liu Bei's army.

The reason why there are many soldiers in the Xicheng Gate is that the camps of Cao's army and Liu Bei's army are both twenty miles west of the Xicheng Gate, and there is a large amount of military supplies. It is necessary to prevent Lu Bu from leading his army to break through and attacking the camp.

As a result, there were heavy troops outside the three cities of Pei, but the Dongcheng Gate did not send troops. This was to deliberately leave a way out for Lu Bu, so that he could lead his army to escape from the Dongcheng Gate and to Xia Pi east of Pei. Otherwise, if all the city gates on all sides were surrounded, Lu Bu's army would have no hope of escaping, and everyone would have to fight to the death, and Cao's army would suffer heavy losses.

Pei is just a place to station troops. It is a narrow county city, so there is no need for Cao's army to suffer too much casualties.

As for Pei's defenders, there were more than 40,000 people, and the generals defending the city were Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Wei Xu and Hao Meng.

Because Chen Gong was responsible for guarding Xia Pi, he did not appear here.

Just after 9 o'clock in the morning, the three troops had already taken their place, and the siege cars and well railings brought by them were assembled. With Cao Cao's order, the three troops beat the war drums and whistle the trumpets, and rushed towards the three walls of Peicheng amidst the earth-shaking shouts of killing.

Just outside the Xicheng Gate, Wu Fanjun and Liu Bei's army had just played the drum horn, and the infantry in blue and green clothes immediately rushed towards the moat with arrows from the city, and landed sandbags to the moat under the shield wall by the river.

At the same time, the archers of the two armies shot against the archers on the city to cover the infantry that filled the sandbags. However, under the advantage of height difference, the archers on the city shot far away, causing heavy losses to the archers under the city. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Zhang Ren used the "repeated crossbow" tactic to shoot seven or eight out of ten defenders on the west city wall to death. By the time the next group of defenders climbed the city wall, the moat outside the city had already been filled.

During this process, Wu Fan's army lost more than 2,000 people and Liu Bei's army lost more than 3,000 people. The moat bank was full of corpses of soldiers from both armies. At this time, the real siege battle had just begun.

Lu Bu, who was originally leading his troops to defend the city south, learned that the moat had been filled so quickly in the west of the city, immediately led his troops to the west of the city and dispatched Gao Shun, who was guarding the place, to the south of the city.

Tip: Lu Bu's general, Lu Bu appeared, and some soldiers began to shrink

When Lu Bu appeared on the city wall holding the Fangtian Painted Ridge, Wu Fan immediately received this prompt message, turned his head and looked around, and indeed saw many soldiers becoming scared, looking at Lu Bu on the city wall with his eyes fixedly, and his whole body could not stop trembling.

"Hmph, a bunch of miscellaneous things"

Lu Bu swept his contemptuous eyes over the soldiers under the city and snorted coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Beijun's Zhang Fei shouted angrily:

"Don't be rampant for the slaves of the three surnames, your grandfather Zhang is here."

With this angry shout, Zhang Fei lifted his snake spear and rode his horse straight under the city.

The arrows immediately fell like rain on the city. Zhang Fei screamed strangely, dancing the snake spear in his hand so loudly that the arrows were pulled out one after another, and it was not even hurting him at all.

Lu Bu looked at the scene with his lips curled up in the city and hummed:

"This ring-eyed thief has some skills"

I don't know if this sentence angered Zhang Fei, and with a loud shout, Zhang Fei suddenly turned vertically from the bottom of the city. Archers on the city aimed at Zhang Fei's figure and shot arrows, but were all pulled away by the serpent spear that was also spinning with Zhang Fei.

Seeing this opportunity, Wu Fan immediately ordered the Qingzhou soldiers to push the Jinglan to the moat and suppress the archers on the city with all their might.

The well railing in Qingzhou soldiers' city was not shot out, but the weapon of the gun has a very painful feature. It does not have a far distance, so it must be pushed to a distance closer to the enemy to function. However, although the gun is close, its power is very powerful. After being thrown from the well railing, all the enemy troops within 500 meters were penetrated and the arrows shot out from the well railing can reach one thousand meters, and the lethality is three times that of the arrows.

In this way, when the well railing formed by Qingzhou soldiers was pushed to the moat, every time a wave of guns was thrown, hundreds of archers on the city and the defenders in the city were strung into candied haws, causing great casualties to Lu Bu's army.

Besides, Zhang Fei turned up at the city and shot him in a dense arrow. In the end, he fell on the city wall, and then stung the snake spear. The surrounding defenders screamed and fell to the city.

Zhang Fei's bravery greatly aroused the morale of Wu Fan's army and Liu Bei's army under the city. The soldiers who were originally flinched, shouted and carried the ladders under the command of the main general, stepped over the sandbags of the moat, rushed to the city, and attacked the city with the rolling wood, thunder and stone ladders.

So, the West City Wall immediately entered the fierce battle of the formal siege.

Lu Bu stood on the city wall without moving, staring at Zhang Fei. Seeing this scene, he knew that it was Zhang Fei's morale, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Lu Bu stomped his feet and a shock wave swept away from his feet. Several ladders on the nearby city wall immediately broke, and the soldiers crawled on it fell to the city one by one.

Afterwards, Lu Bu ran several steps towards Zhang Fei, and suddenly rose up. With a loud shout, Fang Tianhuaji in his hand drew a slash, and the purple cross-shaped energy slashed towards Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was fighting with the surrounding defenders. He looked up and saw the cross-shaped energy wave coming towards him, but he did not dodge. He shouted loudly and waved the Snake Spear into the sky. A blue energy wave shot out from the spear and collided with the cross-shaped energy wave.

With a loud bang, two powerful energy waves collided with each other, the blue powerful energy wave completely disappeared, while the purple powerful energy waves broke into countless star powders and spread out from mid-air.

The defenders in the city around Zhang Fei fell down in pieces after the purple star powder burst on his body. Zhang Fei himself was covered in blood by the star powder, and there was no intact skin.

At the same time, Lu Bu's figure had already landed on the ground, and he shouted again, using violent martial arts at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei had just miscalculated Lu Bu's strength and fell into a passive position as soon as he fought. Under Lu Bu's rapid offensive, he had only defensive skills and no power to fight back.

Wu Fan was watching the two fight in the city leisurely. Hua Xiong drove his horse to Wu Fan and asked:

"Meng Xuan, do we want to help Zhang Fei with one arm?"

Hua Xiong asked this because once Zhang Fei is defeated now, it will definitely have a great impact on the morale of the soldiers who have just aroused, so he asked this question.

Wu Fan smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Zhang Fei will be fine. Guan Yu and Zhao Yun will appear soon, and the wonderful show is still behind."

Sure enough, as soon as Wu Fan finished speaking, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun rode their horses straight under the city, flew onto the wall, and fought with Lu Bu.

During the scene, the scene was extremely intense, with a chaotic move, and the energy was flying, and the corpses of the defenders on the city caused by the shock wave to fly everywhere, causing the soldiers on the attacking and defending city to scream.

Wu Fan said to the general Li Zhan around him:

"This kind of fierce battle is rare. If you look closely, you should be able to learn a lot."

Li Zhan responded and immediately looked at it with concentration.

At the same time, Wu Fan announced that all his soldiers would stop siegeing the city and retreat. Because according to the current situation, Lu Bu could not last for a few minutes, so there was no need to sacrifice additional soldiers.

After Wu Fan's order was issued, Lu Bu's decline became more and more obvious under the joint attack of Guan, Zhang and Zhao. Finally, after using a full range of martial arts, he took advantage of the opportunity of Guan, Zhang and Zhao defending all of them, Lu Bu jumped off the city wall and led his soldiers directly out of the east gate to escape to Xia Pi.

The Xicheng Gate was immediately broken, and Wu Fan's army and Liu Bei's army rushed into the city like a tide. Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals knew that Lu Bu had escaped until this time, so there was no need to make unnecessary sacrifices here. The chaotic army led their troops back.

Cao Cao was very happy to have Pei. Xuzhou is the most vast state in the Central Plains, but its main counties are Pei and Xia Pi. As long as these two cities are taken down, other counties will be declared.

Cao Cao was very happy and wanted the Cao-Liu coalition forces to rest in Pei City and continue to march towards Xia Pi tomorrow. However, the spies stationed in Xuzhou earlier brought Cao Cao an emergency military information:
