In 205 AD, the Han Dynasty changed its name to Jian'an, which was the first year of Jian'an. Because of the rebellion in the southwest and the invasion of the Western Qiang and Xiongnu, the Han general and Qin King Luoyang ordered a westward expedition against the Western Qiang and Xiongnu. At the same time, he ordered the Southern Barbarian King Meng to
He commanded 50,000 southern barbarian troops and captured Jiaozhou to completely pacify the hinterland under his rule! But before the war in the west ended, in the eastern part of the Central Plains, the Kwantung princes also took advantage of this rare opportunity and began to compete with each other with the intention of dominating Kwantung.
A force that can compete with Western Qin!
The Marquis of Yan, Gongsun Zan, and the Marquis of Wu, Sun Ce, who had just succeeded their father on the throne, simultaneously launched an offensive against Xuzhou, where the Marquis of Chu Liu Bei was located. Although Liu Bei relied on the bravery of his two sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he was able to withstand the attacks of the Yan and Wu armies.
But anyone can see that Liu Bei will never be able to support him for much longer.
At such a critical moment for Liu Bei, Cao Cao, the Marquis of Wei, tore up the Luoyang Alliance agreement and sent an army to attack Xuzhou. For a time, the entire Kanto region was in chaos. The small Xuzhou was the key to gathering all the forces in the entire Kanto region.
!
Xiaopei, located in the far west of Xuzhou, is the city closest to Yanzhou in Xuzhou. However, for more than a month, this city has repeatedly experienced the baptism of war! Cao Cao's army set out from Yanzhou and aimed first
, this is Xiaopei!
"Kill--!"
The soldiers of the Wei army in black armor and the soldiers of the Chu army in green armor collided on the top of the city. Blood splattered and stumps flew in the air. However, this did not stop the soldiers from fighting. This is a battlefield.
, only by knocking down the enemy can you survive! This is very clear to these soldiers who have received formal military training.
In the center of the city, a middle-aged general held a spear and kept stabbing at the enemies in front. He tried to make every shot the simplest and most direct, consuming the least physical energy to gain the maximum lethality. This point
It's hard to do, but this general did it! Chen Dao was originally just an ordinary captain with a sword, but he was favored by Liu Bei and promoted to a general. This time Cao Cao invaded, Liu Bei
It was necessary to guard Pengcheng, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were unable to escape, so Liu Bei asked Chen to order eight thousand elite soldiers from Pengcheng to come to Xiaopei to garrison.
Facts have proved that Liu Bei's appointment couldn't be more correct! Chen Dao used eight thousand troops to resist the attack of nearly 30,000 Wei troops led by Xiahou Dun! Although Chen Dao did not have the heaven-defying martial arts of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei,
Chen Dao's commanding ability is much better than Xiahou Dun, Cao Cao's number one commanding master! God knows why such a general has never been discovered by others before, but now he has taken advantage of Liu Bei! If Cao Cao
If I were here, I would probably feel emotional again after seeing Chen Dao.
After these days of fighting, tens of thousands of the Wei army had died under the city wall of Xiaopei. Of course, the Chu army defending the city was not without casualties, but compared with the Wei army, the casualties of nearly 3,000 were just
Seems insignificant.
Under the leadership of Chen Dao, the Wei army that finally attacked the city was forced back by the Chu army again. As soon as he saw the enemy being forced off the city, Chen Dao immediately shouted to the archers behind him:
"Project! Attack!"
In the previous battle, Chen Dao resisted and did not withdraw the more than a thousand archers behind him, but now it worked! According to Chen Dao's instructions, more than a thousand archers bent their bows and nocked arrows in the air.
Shoot. The arrow was ejected by the strong bow string and flew into the air. In the end, it was unable to break through the gravity of the earth and began to fall down. The location where the arrow fell was exactly where the Wei army was concentrated outside the city! Following a burst of tragedy
The cry rang out, and at least four to five hundred Wei soldiers were killed by arrows! Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Dao led the Chu soldiers on the city wall and began to throw rocks at the bottom of the city wall desperately.
The Wei soldiers who tried to climb the city wall were beaten down!
"Damn it!" In the Wei army formation outside the city, when he saw the soldiers being forced to retreat again, the grumpy Ma Chao couldn't help but cursed, then turned to Xiahou Dun, clasped his fists and shouted: "General Xiahou! Just give up.
Let me charge forward! As long as the enemy general is killed, Xiaopei will definitely be able to break through!" Not only Ma Chao, but also Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Zhang Jia beside him all looked at Xiahou Dun with warlike expressions on their faces.
"No!" Xiahou Dun didn't hesitate at all. He rejected Ma Chao's request in one fell swoop, thus cutting off the other three people from having the same idea. This siege battle was different from other battles. A huge boulder flying down from the top of the city or
A stray arrow is very likely to take the life of a top general! Ma Chao and others are important generals whom Cao Cao relies on as his arms, and there must be no mistakes! Xiahou Dun raised his head and looked at the sky, although it was almost the time of Unity.
, but the sky has not darkened yet, and another attack can be launched. Then he turned to the herald behind him and shouted: "Drum beat! Let the soldiers attack the city wall again!"
As Xiahou Dun's order was issued, the sound of war drums behind the military formation became more intensive. When hearing the sound of the war drums, the Wei army officers and soldiers who were about to retreat gritted their teeth and launched another attack on the wall of Xiaopei City! The Wei army's
Under the cover of the swordsmen and axemen, the archers rushed to the city wall and began to use bows and arrows to suppress the city head! In comparison, the number of archers of the Wei army was much larger. Despite the cover of the city wall, in a few days
After the rain of arrows, the Chu army still suffered nearly 500 casualties. When Chen Dao saw him, he shouted loudly and led the Chu army back a few steps to avoid the attack of the archers outside the city.
At the same time, he ordered the Chu army archers behind him to continue attacking with projectiles.
This is the advantage of the defenders in a siege! Just a few steps away, but the archers outside the city can no longer pose a threat, while the archers on the top of the city can still launch an attack. But in this way
, the Chu army on the top of the city also lacked the opportunity to prevent the Wei army's sword and axemen from climbing the city wall! Following the ladder, the Wei army's swordsman and axemen climbed to the top of the city again, and fiercely aimed at Chen Dao and the Chu army behind him.
The soldiers ran away killing each other!
Now that the swordsmen and axemen of the Wei army had climbed up to the top of the city, the archers naturally did not dare to attack. Chen Dao immediately mobilized his soldiers to greet them. This routine has been performed on Xiaopei's city in the past few days.
After countless times, Chen Dao didn't worry at all and calmly killed the enemy. One enemy after another died tragically under Chen Dao's gun. Chen Dao himself also suffered a loss. Fortunately, they only suffered minor injuries.
The battle lasted for nearly an hour, and when he saw that the sky had completely darkened, Xiahou Dun ordered the soldiers to withdraw their troops. After the sound of gold was heard, the Wei army soldiers retreated like a tide. On the top of the city, those Chu army soldiers
Although they were a little exhausted, they still cheered desperately to celebrate that they had defeated the enemy again!
However, Chen Dao did not celebrate with the soldiers. Instead, his legs weakened and he collapsed directly on the ground, breathing heavily. In the battle just now, Chen Dao worked hard from beginning to end. If it drags on any longer,
, Chen Dao might not be able to hold on any longer. Looking at the enemy troops that had retreated outside the city, Chen Dao felt no joy in his heart. He didn't think that the battle was over. On the contrary, the enemy was so cautious that he actually started a fight with him.
A war of attrition shows that the enemy general is not that reckless, and this will be difficult to deal with!
"General!" At this time, someone finally noticed Chen Dao's embarrassed appearance, and several people quickly came up and helped Chen Dao up. Chen Dao gritted his teeth and walked slowly for two steps while holding on to the city wall, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
, turned his head and looked outside the city, smiled, clenched his fists involuntarily with both hands, and hammered the city wall hard.
At three o'clock at night, after a whole day of fighting, the Wei army officers also rested early. However, as the commander-in-chief of the army, Xiahou Dun did not go to bed so early. He had to make plans for tomorrow's battle. From today's
Judging from the battle situation, although Xiaopei's city defenses were not broken, the losses of the defenders in the city were increasing. If this continues, Xiaopei will definitely be breached in less than three days.
But conquering Xiaopei is only the first step. Next, Xiahou Dun must capture more Xuzhou territory before Gongsun Zan and Sun Ce! Fortunately, to the east of Xiaopei is Pengcheng, the capital of Xuzhou. Capturing Pengcheng is better than capturing Xuzhou.
It is important to come to any city! If Liu Bei can be captured, it will be of great benefit to the future carving up of Xuzhou with Gongsun Zan and Sun Ce! But in this way, it is inevitable that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will attack
Counterattack. Thinking of this, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but frown. Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not as famous as the top masters under Luo Yang, Xiahou Dun knew how powerful these two people were! Although this time Xiahou Dun
They brought some of Cao Wei's most powerful generals, but they might not be able to withstand Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's crazy counterattacks! So Xiahou Dun had to think of a way to avoid a head-on confrontation with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, while still being able to take advantage of them.
The way to get the most benefit!
"Report!" Just when Xiahou Dun was thinking hard, a voice suddenly came from outside the tent. It was a sergeant standing outside the tent and saluting Xiahou Dun with clasped fists.
When Xiahou Dun looked at the sergeant, he couldn't help but frown. He had already told him before that he was not allowed to disturb him if there was no important matter. Now that he was disturbed by the other party, whatever thoughts he had just popped up in his mind disappeared without a trace.
There was no trace. Xiahou Dun immediately snorted with an unhappy look on his face: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly!"
The sergeant obviously heard Xiahou Dun's displeasure and shuddered with fright. He quickly replied: "Report to the general! The soldiers patrolling the camp caught one person and kept asking to see the general, saying that he came to help the general defeat Xiaopei!
