Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 196 My grandma often slaps Zhao Zilong! (Thanks to the monthly ticket support from book friends 2024…9135~)

In addition to the nearly two thousand people who were killed by poisonous snakes, Lu Bu's army also lost nearly three thousand people in battle.

Although Zhang Fei himself sacrificed himself.

But despite the huge disadvantage in military strength, they were still able to replace Lu Bu's 5,000 men with 5,000 men, so it was not considered a failure.

Of Lu Bu's original army of 60,000, including the wounded, there were only 55,000 left.

Although the main force was not injured, there were about two thousand wounded soldiers who needed to recuperate, and some troops were needed to protect them.

So now there are only about 50,000 people who can still fight!
But unfortunately, there was not much food left in Siwu City.

The food and supplies they had left could only last about ten days.

Fortunately, Xia Pi City is just west of Siwu City and can be reached in just one day.

After resting for half a day, Lu Bu left three thousand soldiers and two thousand wounded soldiers in the city, and the others went straight to Xia Pi City.

……

Xiapi City.

Gan Ning looked at the tall city wall made of blue bricks and the countless dents on the wall made by stones thrown from the Thunderbolt Chariot.

I secretly felt that it was worthy of being the number one city in Xuzhou, and the city was indeed solid!

Even if they had 40,000 troops, there were only 10,000 defenders in the city, so it would be very difficult to take it by conventional means.

Fortunately, he has received news that the lord's 50,000 troops will arrive tomorrow.

By then, 90,000 troops will attack the city together, and no matter how strong the city is, they will surely be able to capture it!

At this time, a tall and graceful figure came to Gan Ning's side, frowned, and asked in a clear voice:

"General Gan, aren't we going to attack the city today?"

Gan Ning looked at the heroic girl beside him.

Although the other person was not very old, he still unconsciously clasped his hands and bowed:

"My Lord, we have been attacking the city for several days and have made no progress.

"Now we have received news that the Lord will arrive tomorrow, and we will discuss the specific details of the siege at that time."

Lu Lingqi puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction:
"Then there's nothing to do today?"

Originally, her father was going to attack the East Sea Kingdom, so she asked to follow him, but was directly rejected.

Fortunately, the other party arranged for her to follow Gan Ning to fight in Xia Pi.

Originally, Gan Ning's mission was just to feint an attack on Xia Pi and prevent Xia Pi from withdrawing troops to support the Donghai Kingdom.

So the danger was not very great, and her father agreed to let her go.

Now his father has successfully conquered the Donghai Kingdom and even killed a powerful general like Zhang Fei.

Then according to the next plan, we naturally have to turn back and attack Xia Pi City.

As long as we can capture Xia Pi, it doesn’t matter even if Guangling is lost.

Because Xia Pi City is the most important city in Xuzhou!
But her father wouldn't arrive until tomorrow, which meant she would have to wait another day in boredom.

Gan Ning saw that Lu Lingqi was bored and said with a smile:

“Come to think of it, young master, you haven’t tried to engage in a verbal fight outside the city yet, right?

"How about it? Do you want me to accompany you to try it?"

"A war of words?"

Lu Lingqi immediately became interested, and Zifu Wushuang's pretty face became surprised:
"Okay, General Gan, take me there!"

As she spoke, Lu Lingqi raised her slender, snow-white hands and adjusted the armor on her body.

He rode on his beautiful white horse and came to the bottom of the city wall with Gan Ning and a group of soldiers.

Behind her stood rows of thousands of elite soldiers in black armor.

Under the leadership of Gao Shun, these people kept a subtle distance from Lu Lingqi. Without a doubt, it was the famous Xianzhen Camp!

Without Gao Shun, the person Lu Bu trusted the most, accompanying him, even Gan Ning would not be able to leave Lu Lingqi to his care.

At this moment, on the horse-riding path on the city wall.

A young general, eight feet tall, with a majestic appearance and wearing silver armor, was looking seriously at a group of enemy troops approaching the city.

His eyes swept across the neat and solemn black-armored trap camp.

He looked at the mighty Gan Ning again, and finally his eyes fell on the stunningly beautiful girl.

The opponent's manners were graceful and elegant, his demeanor calm and relaxed, like fingers as white as spring onions holding a white jade halberd!
There was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

I never thought I would see a female general on the battlefield. It is really rare.

I don't know if the other party is really capable or just pretending to be so...

This handsome young general, Silver Armor, is exactly the character that countless Three Kingdoms fans yearn for:
He went in and out of Changbanpo seven times and killed more than fifty of Cao's generals. He was later praised by Liu Bei as "full of courage"!
One of the Five Tiger Generals, Zhao Zilong of Changshan, was the one who still killed five generals and was feared by all at the age of over seventy!

Of course, Zhao Yun today is just a young general who is only a few years older than Lu Lingqi.

Even so, he now possesses courage and wisdom far beyond that of ordinary people!

He was ordered by military advisor Zhuge Liang to help Tao Qian defend Xia Pi City.

However, when he learned that General Yide was killed by Lu Bu, he was immediately furious!

If Zhao Yun had not always maintained strict military discipline and had strong self-control, he would have really wanted to rush out and fight the enemy to the death!

But he was well aware of the importance of Xia Pi City.

If this place cannot be defended, Zhuge Military Advisor's plan will be disrupted in an instant.

On the contrary, the death of General Yide did not seem to affect the overall plan...

Just when Zhao Yun felt that something was amiss, the soldiers below, under the command of Gan Ning, began another day of shouting and cursing:

"You are a bunch of cowards in this city, why don't you get out here and fight me for three hundred rounds!

"I heard that the young general on the tower is good at spearmanship. I also have an invincible golden spear. I wonder if you can defeat me?"

Hearing this obscene remark with a profound meaning, the soldiers around him burst into laughter.

Only Lu Lingqi looked at the soldier with suspicion, and did not see any golden spear in his hand.

Faced with such humiliation, Zhao Yun on the city wall remained motionless.

He is not a reckless man, but a brave, resourceful and well-versed general in military books!

However, this level of provocation was not enough to shake him in the slightest.

Gan Ning retracted his gaze and smiled at Lu Lingqi beside him:

"My dear, now you know how to fight? Do you want to try it yourself?

"Maybe a woman's scolding can have an unexpected effect!"

Hearing this, Lu Lingqi's pretty face became slightly tipsy and she looked a little embarrassed.

Although she doesn't like reading, under the strict teaching of her parents, she is not the kind of woman who speaks sweet words.

At this time, Gao Shun suddenly rode up to her side on horseback, looked at the young general on the tower, and said to his niece in a gentle voice:
“You don’t have to use bad words to scold someone. A truly cultured person can make people furious even if he doesn’t use a single bad word!
"In the words of my lord, it's 'weird'!"

Hearing Uncle Gao say this, Lu Lingqi suddenly understood and shouted to the enemy on the tower:

"You rats on the tower! You don't dare to come out, is it because that rookie Zhang Fei was killed by my father?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Yun on the city wall frowned immediately!
The other soldiers were even more furious and couldn't help but curse back!

Only Zhao Yun remained calm, but still stared at the girl below.

Who would have thought that this girl was Lu Bu's daughter? !
If we can kill him, it will be a fatal blow to Lu Bu and it will also be revenge for General Zhang!
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun immediately shouted to the girl under the tower:

"Do you, the unruly female general downstairs, dare to challenge me, Zhao Zilong of Changshan, in a duel?"
