NOVEL WEB Chapter 18: Occupied Gaotang
Back when he was at Hulao Pass, Zhang Fei remembered that Cao Cao's fierce generals were Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan.
He never met Xu Chu at all. With Xu Chu's ability, why didn't he go to the alliance at the beginning?
After Zhang Fei blocked Xu Chu's sword, he shouted loudly.
"Hey! Who are you?"
"I 'm your Grandpa, Xu Chu, the deputy commander of the Ziyou Army!"
With 30,000 troops behind him, Xu Chu was full of confidence, and his moves became sharper.
Zhang Fei's original purpose was to kill the opponent's generals and destroy the morale of Cao's army.
As the two sides fought for a long time, Guan Yu lost his composure. If this continues, fighting will lose its meaning!
Thinking of this, Guan Yu raised the Green dragon blade , and wanted to join forces with Zhang Fei to kill Xu Chu!
According to Cao Ziyou's order, Dian Wei has been waiting for a long time.
"Two-on-one is for weaklings ! Let me, Lao Dian, meet you, Guan Yunchang!
The two halberds hit the Green Dragon blade , and the blade sank.
"Good strength!"
Guan Yu also became competitive, and the four generals fought with each other in the middle of the battlefield.
Liu Bei on the city wall had already let out cold sweat on his face. He never expected that there would be such a strong general in Cao's army. Sure enough, the princes of the world should not be underestimated!
Seeing the four of them fighting in full swing, Cao Ziyou waved his hand and pointed the military flag forward.
Zhao Feng and Zhao Yu led the cavalry to charge forward, and the formation of Gaotang's army was immediately dispersed.
The more impatient Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were, the harder it was for them to escape the attacks of Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers behind him, Guan Yu yelled angrily and slashed hard, forcing Dian Wei to turn around to defend.
He waved his saber again, and rushed towards the city immediately.
Seeing this, Zhang Fei fought hard and ran away without looking back.
Of the 2000 soldiers killed or wounded, less than 200 were able to return to the city alive.
The 30,000 troops took down Gaotang City in one go.
The Three homeless brothers gathered up the remnant soldiers and fled back to Gongsun Zan's base camp.
Even after the battle was over, Xun Yu didn't understand, why did Liu Bei let these 2,000 people go out of the city to fight?
After taking Gaotang City, Cao Ziyou ordered the soldiers to collect supplies, and at the same time sent someone to ask Yuan Shao for food.
That's right, just won a city, and obviously there are still a lot of supplies, Cao Ziyou started to ask for food and grass again!
Xun Yu is an honest man, and he feels that Cao Ziyou is so dishonest. Cao Ziyou didn't think so however .
In this war, except for Yanzhou, the rest of the forces are a group of big dogs. Cao Ziyou not only wants to slaughter Yuan Shu's fat, but also grabs Yuan Shao's wool.
It's okay if you don't give food. If you don't give food, the army will go back to Yanzhou directly.
Yuan Shao, who was confronting Gongsun Zan on the front line, was so angry that he jumped up when he received the news.
"That little fart! Didn't I just allocate a large amount of food for him? Just took down a city, and it was all consumed?
Come, I want to write a letter to Cao Mengde!
Since Cao Ziyou left, Cao Cao sent three waves of spies to inquire about the news that day.
After learning that Gaotang was captured and the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang were defeated, they happily walked around in the hall.
At this moment, Cao Hong walked in.
"My lord, Yuan Shao sent someone to deliver a letter."
"Oh? It must be to praise my family Ziyou, show me quickly!" Cao Cao took the letter and his face turned red after reading it!
"Bastard! After Ziyou occupied Gaotang, he threatened Yuan Shao to continue sending food and supplies! This, this, this, this will offend Yuan Shao to death!"
Cao Cao knew that Yuan Shao was not a man with a big stomach.
This time Yanzhou took advantage of the fire to loot, Yuan Shao might do as Cao Ziyou asked.
But once the coalition forces of Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan are eliminated, Yuan Shao will definitely turn his guns and destroy Yanzhou.
I went to help, but I couldn't help, which offended both parties. How could Cao Cao not be angry!
"Ding, Cao Cao's anger +1, filial son's value +1, triggers a critical strike, and gets a blueprint of the Zhuge Liannu."
Cao Ziyou, who was sitting in the house looking at the map, suddenly heard a reminder in his mind, reached out and took out a blueprint.
"What is it? Lao Cao is sick? Why is he mad at me ?" Cao Ziyou couldn't figure it out, so he had to look down at the drawing.
The Zhuge Liannu was originally made by Zhuge Liang, also known as the Zhuge repeating Crossbow. It can shoot ten arrows at a time and has strong firepower.
As a price, the Zhuge Liannu is too bulky and heavy to be used by individual soldiers.
However, it can be used to defend cities and camps.
"Come here, give this blueprint to Mr. Wen Ruo, and tell him to personally supervise the work, and try to build things according to the blueprint."
"Yes!"
The guards led away, Cao Ziyou looked up at the sky. Now wait for Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army to take the bait!
Gaotang City was captured by Cao Ziyou, but Gongsun Zan did not send anyone to capture the city.
He just comforted Liu Bei, telling him that there are so many enemies, and there is no need to fight 30,000 troops for a city.
Now that the main force in Youzhou is fighting Yuan Shao, there is no time to pay attention to Cao Ziyou.
After Zhang Yan received the tactics, he brought his own army of 80,000 troops and attacked Gaotang City mightily.
Along the way, Yuan Shao's army did not stop him, which was regarded as a kind of revenge for Cao Ziyou.
Three days later, the Black Mountain Army came to Gaotang City, and the two rebel armies finally officially met today!
