The Xia Army was originally attacked, thinking that the morale of the Xia Army would be affected, which would delay the progress of the Xia Army's offensive. However, I did not expect that the Xia Army was so tenacious. After losing so much strength and morale being hit, they still quickly besieged the city and launched an offensive.
But now we are facing the enemy's prepared battle formation, and the atmosphere is completely different. However, what Zhao Yun just said also made Guan Tianxia, Li Weihua and other generals muster up the courage. They are also hot-blooded men who died on the battlefield again.
What can be done?
Next to Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiao squinted his eyes, stroked his beard, and looked at the military formation outside the city. His eyes flashed brightly from time to time, and he said to Zhao Yun: "General Zhao, we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. If we just fight head-on, we won't be able to do it."
We may be able to withstand the attack of the Xia Family Army. As things stand now, the only way is to be smart."
"Outwit?" What Zhang Xiao said, Zhao Yun also understood that a passion alone could not restore the huge gap in strength between the two sides. So after hearing what Zhang Xiao said, Zhao Yun immediately asked with interest:
"Master Zhang, how to outsmart him?"
Zhang Xiao chuckled, glanced at Guan Tianxia and Li Weihua who were also looking over, and said with a smile: "I have heard that Xia Cheng has two great advisers, Zhang Huaxuan and Hu Zhuge, who are as resourceful as Mr. Fu and Mr. Ji beside you. If
The two of them are in the army, and that boy
No matter how resourceful you are, you can't succeed. However, according to the intelligence, both Zhang Huaxuan and Hu Zhuge stayed in Shangrao to advise Xia Cheng and did not follow the army to Quzhou. With these generals alone, the boy will definitely be able to
Let them fall into the trap."
Immediately, Zhang Xiao took a few steps forward, pointed outside the city, and asked Guan Tianxia behind him: "General Guan, do you recognize the enemy generals?"
When Guan Tianxia heard Zhang Xiao's question, he immediately stepped forward and followed Zhang Xiao's hand. He saw two generals riding tall horses at the forefront in front of the Xia Family Army's formation. Guan Tianxia squinted.
He raised his eyes and took a look and replied: "I recognize these two people. One is Di Hu and the other is Zhang Dingtian. They were both generals under the great sage king Yang Yao. I met them in the battle of Public Security.
The man’s skills are good.”
"It turns out it's the two of them." Zhang Dingtian and Di Hu are quite famous. As early as when they were under the command of the Great Sage King Yang Yao, they were already among the four mighty generals of the original Great Sage King. Although Zhang Xiao is only a scholar,
I have also heard of their names. After hearing Guan Tianxia reveal their identities, a look on Zhang Xiao’s face
He even showed a clear look and said with a smile: "This is the best. Both of them are long-established military generals and they cherish their reputations. General Zhao! General Guan
!The next step is for you two to work hard. I will ask you two to take two thousand light cavalry and go out of the city to fight."
"What? Going out of the city to fight? No way!" Li Weihua exclaimed as soon as he heard Zhang Xiao's suggestion. He stared at Zhang Xiao with wide eyes. He never thought that Zhang Xiao, who is known as a think tank, would actually do this.
I came up with such a bad idea. I immediately shouted
Said: "Now the enemy has nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses, and the light cavalry is only more than 2,000. If we hold the city and defend the hope of victory, let alone go out of the city to fight? Doesn't this mean that General Zhao and General Guan are going to go there?
Are you going to die? No! This is not okay."[
Compared with Li Weihua's fierce reaction, Zhao Yun and Guan Tianxia were much calmer. They had known Zhang Xiao for a long time and knew that Zhang Xiao was not the kind of person who would come up with bad ideas. Both of them looked at Zhang quietly.
Xiao, waiting for Zhang Xiao’s next explanation.
Zhang Xiao also smiled at Li Weihua, made a calm gesture, and said: "General Li, don't be impatient. I am letting General Zhao and General Guan go out of the city to fight, but I am not letting them fight the enemy head-on.
They hope that General Zhao and General Guan, as generals, will challenge Zhang Dingtian and Di Hu. Both Zhang Dingtian and Di Hu are warlike people, and they will absolutely sacrifice themselves in front of their subordinates.
I have no shame to refuse the challenge of General Zhao and General Guan. So next, I have to work hard for General Zhao and General Guan. They try to delay the battle as much as possible. If they can delay it for a day or two, the reinforcements from Shaoxing can arrive.
At that time, we can hold Quzhou for a few more days. When reinforcements from Lin'an, Hangzhou and other cities arrive one after another, we will definitely be able to repel this Xia family army."
After Zhang Xiao explained this, Zhao Yun, Guan Tianxia and Li Weihua all understood. In the final analysis, it was because Zhang Xiao believed that Zhao Yun and others could defeat Zhang Dingtian and Di Hu. Although Zhang Dingtian and Di Hu were famous,
Zhang Xiao also firmly believed that Zhao Yun, the hero of the Taihang Mountains who once led a golden man who could kill several people to cry for his father and mother, would not be defeated by these two people, not to mention that he had a master in charge of the world to help him.
Guan Tianxia grinned and seemed very satisfied with Zhang Xiao's idea. He nodded and said with a smile: "It's just right. I had an unfinished battle with that Di Hu yesterday. Today I can take this opportunity to decide the outcome with them. General.
, what do you think?"
Zhao Yun also smiled, nodded and said: "I have long heard about the reputation of the four powerful generals of the former Great Sage King, but I have never had the opportunity to fight with them. Today I have this opportunity, how can I miss it? Okay! World, let's set off now
.”
Listening to Zhao Yun and Guan Tianxia's heroic words, Li Weihua beside him also temporarily put aside his worries, became excited, and shouted to the two of them: "In this case, how can we lose the last general? General Zhao! Guan
General! Let’s count him as one of the last generals! How about the last general taking the lead?” As he said that, Li Weihua held the spear in his hand, and Dayou and Zhao Yun went out of the city to fight together, taking care of the world.
"Hahahaha!" Hearing Li Weihua's words, Zhao Yun and Guan Tianxia burst into laughter. Even Zhang Xiao was stroking his long beard and smiling. Guan Tianxia slapped Li Weihua on the head.
, laughed and scolded: "You brat! You want to make your own decisions again. Even if your body is injured now, do you want to go out to fight with the enemy? Just stay at the top of the city."
After Guan Tianxia said this, Li Weihua then remembered that it seemed that he had been injured in the battle with Xia Shanyue yesterday. Although these injuries did not hurt his vitals, they were enough to affect Li Weihua's movements, making it impossible for him to leave the city.
They were fighting and fighting. Li Weihua could only look at Zhao Yun and Guan Tianxia pitifully, speechless.
Seeing Li Weihua's appearance made Zhao Yun and others laugh. The psychological haze caused by the pressure from the enemy army also dissipated a lot. After laughing, Zhao Yun immediately waved his arms.
He took his silver spear and went down to the top of the city with Guan Tianxia, who was holding a three-pointed two-edged sword.
At the foot of the city, the Qingqi who had just received the military order to assemble urgently were already gathering at the city gate. They originally thought that it would not be their turn to fight in today's critical battle, but they did not expect that they were suddenly summoned. Although the military order was a bit hasty, but
Qingqi's well-trained training was also reflected at this moment.
Seeing the neat military columns, Zhao Yun and Guan Tianxia nodded with satisfaction, mounted their horses and came to the front of the military columns. Zhao Yun took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice: "Open the city gate."
Following Zhao Yun's order, the closed city gate slowly opened with a creaking sound. After the city gate was fully opened, Zhao Yun and Guan Tianxia clamped their legs at the same time and rode towards the outside of the city.
Go, and the Qingqi following the two men also followed closely and poured out of the city gate.
Zhao Yun and others rushed out of the city gate, which obviously shocked the Xia Jiajun army outside the city. Zhang Dingtian and Di Hu, who were in front of the military formation, raised their hands in unison, stopping the Xia Jiajun army behind them.
Moving forward, both of them looked at the Qingqi arrayed at the gate of the city with suspicion, not understanding what the other party was doing.
On the top of the city, seeing the actions of the Xia Family Army, Li Weihua waved his fist vigorously and said excitedly to Zhang Xiao beside him: "Master Zhang, this method really works. The enemy has stopped." Zhang Xiao
He chuckled, but didn't say much. This strategy was based on Zhang Dingtian and Di Hu's reckless and self-seeking heroic characters, and based on his judgment, Zhang Xiaona was 80% sure that it would succeed.
At the gate of the city, Zhao Yun and Guan Tianxia, who had already arranged their formation, saw the enemy's actions. Although their faces did not show any change, a look of surprise flashed across their eyes at the same time. Zhao Yun immediately
Guan Tianxia and Guan Tianxia looked at each other, and Guan Tianxia took the lead and said: "General, yesterday my battle with Di Hu was not over yet. Today, let me take the lead." [
Hearing Guan Tianxia's request, Zhao Yun also smiled. He really had no reason to veto Guan Tianxia's request. He shrugged his shoulders and made a gesture of invitation to Guan Tianxia. Guan Tianxia also had a happy face and immediately
He immediately took a few steps forward and shouted to the Xia family army in front of him: "Di Hu! We didn't win or lose yesterday. Do you dare to continue fighting with me today?"
Guan Tianxia's voice immediately made Di Hu on the opposite side look ferocious. Before Zhang Dingtian could even say anything, Di Hu roared angrily and rode out to kill him. He pointed his gun at Guan Tianxia and shouted: "That's enough.
How dare you! In charge of the world, grandpa will help you today and take your life."
Guan Tianxia snorted coldly, then rode forward and shouted: "It's not certain who wants whose life. Yesterday I let you go, but today I'm here to take your head."
While the two were talking, they had already rushed together. They had already fought yesterday, so there was no probing at this meeting. The two of them immediately made serious moves. The three-pointed two-edged knife in Guan Tianxia's hand was wrapped around his body.
Rotating back and forth, the originally straight blade seemed to be twisted. Immediately afterwards, Guan Tianxia roared, and the three-pointed, two-edged blade was swung towards Di Hu's head like a whip.
Di Hu was not to be outdone. The spear in his hand was stabbed continuously, and in the blink of an eye, he fired out more than ten spears, all of them piercing the shadow of the three-pointed two-edged sword. The last spear finally blocked the three-pointed two-edged sword. In fact,
How could a three-pointed two-edged sword made of pure steel twist into a whip? The reason for this illusion is because of the weird attack and extremely fast speed of the three-pointed two-edged sword.
.And most of the dozen or so spears that Di Hu just thrust out failed to hit the main body of the three-pointed, two-edged sword. Thanks to Di Hu's skill, he was able to neutralize Guan Tianxia's attack.
It was resolved with one move, but Guan Tianxia did not give up the attack. He twisted his body and struck out with another knife with his backhand. This time, the three-pointed two-edged knife turned into three spear shadows, attacking Di Hu in three directions: upper, middle and lower.
Di Hu had just neutralized Guan Tianxia's move, and before he could catch his breath, when he saw Guan Tianxia using another move, he quickly raised his spear again to deal with it. He saw the shadows of numerous spears covering the three.
The shadow of the gun swallowed up and resolved the three sword moves.
After repelling Guan Tianxia's attack, Di Hu was not willing to remain passive. He gritted his teeth and turned the gun shadows in the sky towards Guan Tianxia. However, for Di Hu's attack, Guan Tianxia
But he was unhurried. He and Zhao Yun usually competed with each other, but they often learned Zhao Yun's "chaos" spear-dodge skills.
Di Hu's move seemed to be very strong, but it was still much worse than the "Chaos" Flash Gun. Guan Tianxia immediately held the middle part of the three-pointed two-edged knife with one hand, turned his wrist, and heard
There was a jingling sound, and all the spears used by Di Hu were resolved by Guan Tianxia's three-pointed, two-edged sword.
"Hey!" Guan Tianxia smiled coldly, feeling reassured. After these exchanges, he was basically certain that Di Hu's martial arts skills were not as good as his own. However, thinking of Zhang Xiao's previous strategy, the purpose of this battle was not to defeat him.
Di Hu, but to delay time, Guan Tianxia did not rush to defeat Di Hu, but patiently fought with Di Hu.
Zhang Dingtian, who was in front of the Xia Family Army's formation, couldn't help but frown as he watched the battle between Guan Tianxia and Di Hu. He couldn't see through that Guan Tianxia was deliberately delaying time, but just watching the two of them fighting, Zhang Dingtian always felt that something was wrong. He had some intentions.
He wanted to step forward to help, but he remembered Di Hu's very proud character. If he stepped forward to ruin the battle between him and Guan Tianxia, I'm afraid Di Hu would think that Zhang Dingtian had failed him, and he would never forgive him.
In his own desperation, Zhang Dingtian could only stay behind and wait for the outcome of the battle between Di Hu and Guan Tianxia.
Zhang Dingtian couldn't see through Guan Tianxia's spare strength, because his martial arts were not nearly as good as Di Hu's. In the light cavalry formation, Di Hu was much better than Guan Tianxia, so Zhao Yun naturally saw clearly. When he saw Guan Tianxia,
The world has successfully delayed Di Hu. Zhao Yun's lips curled up slightly. It seems that Zhang Xiao's grasp of Di Hu's reckless character was very correct. In this way, Zhang Xiao's plan can be considered a success. Next, he must take care of the world.
How long can you hold the opponent back?
This battle, deliberately delayed by Guan Tianxia, lasted for more than four hours from morning to evening. Even though Di Hu was so brave, he was still out of breath and exhausted at this moment. If it weren't for him.
The desire to win made Di Hu exhausted and retreated long ago.
Guan Tianxia slashed out with his sword and hit Di Hu's spear. Di Hu's hands were so shocked that he almost didn't grab the gun barrel. He hurriedly stabilized his body and looked at Guan Tianxia while panting heavily, his eyes always fixed.
With fighting spirit.
On the other hand, although Guan Tianxia still had some physical strength left, in order to deceive Di Hu, Guan Tianxia also pretended to be exhausted, panting and shouted to Di Hu: "Di Hu! It's already late today.
It's not appropriate to take action. You and I will fight again tomorrow to decide the outcome, do you dare?" As he said that, Guan Tianxia pointed to the sky, indicating that it was already very late.
Di Hu raised his head and looked at the sky. Sure enough, unknowingly, they had been fighting for a whole day. At this moment, the sky was gradually getting darker. If they continued to fight, they might not be able to see each other's moves clearly. Yes.
As for the world, Di Hu would not show weakness and shouted fiercely: "How can I be afraid of you? If we fight tomorrow, we will fight tomorrow."
"Okay." Guan Tianxia immediately put the three-pointed two-edged sword on his back, pulled the reins, and turned the horse's head back in front of Di Hu. Guan Tianxia's posture was quite generous, and Di Hu
Naturally, Hu would not sneak attack Guan Tianxia at this time. He could only turn his horse around with a look of reluctance and return to the military formation.
Before returning to the military formation, Di Hu said to Zhang Dingtian: "General Di Hu! Give me another day tomorrow, and I will kill that man who governs the world." Obviously Di Hu also knew that he had done this, but he
It was a waste of time for the army to attack the city, but the heroic pride of defeating the enemy's fierce generals alone made him unwilling to give up this opportunity to become famous in the world.
Although he was a little dissatisfied, Di Hu spoke up. Zhang Dingtian and Di Hu had been friends for decades, and Zhang Dingtian still had to sell Di Hu's face. Besides, Zhang Dingtian himself was a warrior, and he knew that he would meet his opponents on the battlefield.
that feeling,
If Di Hu is not allowed to complete this battle, I am afraid that Di Hu will regret it for the rest of his life in the future. Immediately, Zhang Dingtian could only smile bitterly and said: "You have already spoken, how can I not agree? Okay! I will give it to you tomorrow.
In your time, you must defeat that guy Guan Tianxia!"
"Don't worry." Di Hu clenched his fist vigorously. When he had just fought with Guan Tianxia, Di Hu clearly felt that Guan Tianxia seemed to be a little exhausted. If Di Hu didn't have much physical strength himself, maybe he would have just fought harder.
He can defeat Guan Tianxia with his strength. Tomorrow he must go all out to defeat Guan Tianxia! Di Hu secretly made up his mind.
At this time, it is not suitable to attack the city at night. Therefore, it is impossible to order another siege. Zhang Dingtian immediately waved to the Xia family army behind him and issued an order: "The whole army is divided into four and the Quzhou City is surrounded.
"Don't let the enemy have time to escape." Zhang Dingtian felt something was wrong just now, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out the reason. He could only prepare for a rainy day and ordered a siege.
The Xia Jiajun army has an absolute advantage in terms of numbers. Even if it is divided into four troops, there are at least nearly 20,000 Xia Jiajun troops arranged outside each city gate, which far exceeds the number of defenders inside the city, so Zhang Dingtian is not afraid of anything.
Question. After doing all this, Zhang Dingtian said to Di Hu: "Let's go. Let's go see General Yang Huai and ask for his opinion."
Yesterday, Yang Huai pursued the enemy, but was wounded by an arrow from Zhao Yun. The injury was not light. Therefore, Yang Huai did not go out to fight today, but was recovering from his injuries in the rear. In any case, Yang Huai also went north this time.
The commander-in-chief who conquered Quzhou.
In addition, Xia Shanyue has also died in the battle, which means that among the entire army, Yang Huai is the only one who belongs to Xia Cheng's confidant. Although Zhang Dingtian and Di Hu also have Xia Cheng's trust, they are generals with foreign surnames after all, so they still have to worry about these taboos.
of.
Not to mention Zhang Dingtian, how did Di Hu arrange it? On the other side, Guan Tianxia rode back to Zhao Yun. The panting appearance he had just pretended to be like an ox disappeared immediately. He smiled and said to Zhao Yun: "General, how did I perform?
"As he said that, Guan Tianxia also raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although Guan Tianxia pretended to be so serious just now, after all, he had fought fiercely with Di Hu for a day, and his physical strength was indeed very high.
Zhao Yun chuckled, patted Guan Tianxia's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Well done, Tianxia. Not only did you buy us a day, you also made a reservation for tomorrow. How about it? Can you hold him off tomorrow?
"As Zhao Yun said this, he took Guan Tianxia's reins and pulled Guan Tianxia's mount to retreat into the city with him.
"Don't worry." Guan Tianxia patted his chest with confidence and said to Zhao Yun: "That Di Hu is just an idiot. I'll finish the horse fight with him tomorrow and then fight on foot. I'll keep him for another day.
.Hehe! Wait until tomorrow and I will finally put Di Hu
After being defeated, go challenge Zhang Dingtian again and hold him off for another two days. Ha! General Zhao, maybe you won’t need to fight this time.” The success of today’s battle has greatly increased Guan Tianxia’s confidence.
After completing Zhang Xiao's plan, I feel more confident.
"That may not happen." Before Zhao Yun could answer, a voice came from the front. Zhao Yun and Guan Tianxia both looked up and found that the speaker was Zhang Xiao. It turned out that they were seeing the two armies retreating.
After that, Zhang Xiao also came down from the top of the city.
came to greet Zhao Yun and Guan Tianxia. Zhang Xiao took a few steps forward and smiled at Guan Tianxia: "General Guan, don't underestimate that Zhang Dingtian. This person's thoughts are more delicate than Di Hu. The general wants to use it on Di Hu."
If this method is used on Zhang Dingtian, I’m afraid it won’t work.”
