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

Chapter 291 Fire Cloud Blade! (Thanks to Brother Malandu for the two more monthly tickets~)

After Huangfu Song left, Chen Deng smiled and said to Xu Chu:

"Everything happened as Zhuge's military advisor had predicted. Zhu Jun's army was indeed cut off from food supplies.

"They worked hard to wear down the defenders of Yanling City, but now they are all doing us a favor!"

Xu Chu laughed loudly upon hearing this:

“Now we have 21,000 soldiers left in our army, and the enemy has 3,000 defenders left in the city.

"Even without Zhu Jun's army, our army will most likely be able to capture the city in the next two days!"

Seeing that Xu Chu was getting a little cocky, Chen Deng, who had just suffered a defeat two days ago, hurriedly reminded him:
"General, you'd better be cautious. Zhu Jun's retreat may be part of the enemy's plan.

"If my prediction is correct, it won't be long before more enemy troops arrive to support Yanling City.

"If our army fails in the battle, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain any benefits..."

Xu Chu heard this and sneered:
"Yuanlong is worrying too much. Didn't General Huangfu just tell us where the bodies of the plague were?

“When the enemy army arrives, we will throw these bodies into the enemy camp.

"I believe it won't be long before the enemy retreats without a fight!"

Chen Deng smiled helplessly:
"That's true, General. I have to say, Jia Xu is a really vicious person..."

Xu Chu rubbed his shoulders and smiled playfully:

"If you're facing an enemy, being vicious is fine.

"But if someone is vicious to his own people, then such a person is not worth winning over."

After saying that, Xu Chu suddenly stood up, walked out of the tent, and started a new day of siege!
……

Not far outside the city.

Hou Cheng, who was resting in the simple tent, suddenly saw the curtain being lifted, and Song Xian's surprised smile appeared:
"Old Marquis, Zhu Jun led the army to retreat!"

"oh?!"

Upon hearing this, Hou Cheng immediately walked out of the tent and saw Zhu Jun's army retreating rapidly towards the northwest.

A smile finally appeared on Hou Cheng's tired face:
“It seems that General Sun and his men have achieved their strategic goals!
"I believe it won't be long before Military Advisor Zhou Yu leads a large army to support us."

Song Xian let out a long sigh, but soon said:
"But Liu Bei's army doesn't seem to be planning to retreat...

“At the moment they still have more than 20,000 people, and there are only 3,000 defenders in the city.

"If we don't do something, I'm afraid the people in the city may not be able to hold out until Zhou Yu's army arrives..."

Hou Cheng nodded in agreement:
"At present, our cavalry has lost more than half, and Xu Chu's army is not afraid of our harassment at all.

"It's meaningless to rush to help from outside. Let's find an opportunity today and lead the brothers into the city to help Li Yan and his men defend!"

The two hit it off immediately and immediately gathered the soldiers to pack up and prepare to set off.

at the same time.

Xu Chu again divided his troops into two groups, ordering Chen Deng to lead 10,000 men to attack the west gate, while he himself led 11,000 men to attack the east gate.

Before leaving, Chen Deng suddenly said to Xu Chu:
“I see that Hou Cheng’s army has already packed up and is preparing to move. I’m afraid they are planning to rush into the city to support the people inside.

"General, you can pretend to attack the city with me, and when our army is close to the city, we will attack from both sides!

"We will surely defeat the enemy by catching them off guard!"

Xu Chu immediately agreed:

"Just do it!"

According to the plan, the two men went to the East Gate and the West Gate respectively and launched the siege.

But in reality, no main force was sent out.

He simply ordered his men to keep beating drums to cheer them on, creating a situation where there was much thunder but little rain.

Hou Cheng and Song Xian, two military commanders who were not good at strategy, naturally did not see the enemy's intentions and rushed towards the South Gate.

When the two men rushed to the bottom of the city wall and prepared to knock on the door, suddenly two cannon shots rang out from the left and right sides one after another!

Hou Cheng and Song Xian were horrified to find that the two armies that seemed to be attacking the city just now were suddenly attacking them from both sides!

Hou Cheng and the other man's faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly led the soldiers to evacuate to the rear.

However, the soldiers behind him were also frightened and became extremely panicked for a moment!

Upon seeing this, Hou Cheng and his men immediately hacked to death the two soldiers who were closest to them and shouted at their subordinates:

"Don't panic! The rear army becomes the front army, and the front army becomes the rear army. Quickly evacuate to the rear!"

As the two most chaotic soldiers were hacked to death, the others also forced themselves to calm down under the threat of their lives.

Immediately turn around as the commander said and evacuate quickly to the rear!

However, due to this delay, the army led by Xu Chu and Chen Deng had already arrived.

Hou Cheng immediately said to Song Xian:
"You and I will each block one side and escort our brothers out!"

"Okay! I will fight against Xu Chu's army, and you will fight against Chen Deng's army!"

After saying this, Song Xian did not give Hou Cheng a chance to refute, and immediately rushed towards Xu Chu's army with a spear in his hand!

Hou Cheng could only remind loudly:

"The enemy general is very brave, don't fight him head-on!"

"understand!"

Song Xian responded and immediately rushed towards the front row of the enemy, while leading his own soldiers to retreat.

It was obvious that they could not enter the city at this time.

Once the drawbridge is lowered and the city gate is opened, the enemy army is likely to rush directly into the city with the flow of people!

Hou Cheng and the other two knew this very well, so they decisively gave up entering the city and were forced to retreat.

But it is undeniable that the enemy must have guessed in advance that they wanted to enter the city.

Only then can they be formed into a "chicken and cheese sandwich" so quickly!
With just a slight collision, hundreds of soldiers on Song Xian's side were killed by the enemy.

When Song Xian saw this scene, his blood pressure suddenly soared!
He immediately roared and stabbed out with the spear in his hand, piercing several enemy soldiers through the chest!

Then he picked up the spear with the corpses on it with both hands, swung it left and right like a dragon's tail, and swept away the enemy!

Xu Chu in the rear was immediately aroused by the sight of the brave enemy general and rushed towards Song Xian himself!

When Song Xian saw the enemy general's fat body with a waist that was ten times bigger than his waist, he also felt a huge pressure coming towards him.

Although he had never seen the true strength of the enemy general.

But the tests in the previous few days and the enemy general's fearlessness and arrogance had already made him realize that this enemy general was extraordinary.

At least it’s a top-notch dipping sauce on Sun Ce’s level!
Therefore, Song Xian did not intend to fight the opponent in a one-on-one duel.

He suddenly raised the spear and threw the enemy soldier on it towards Xu Chu!
However, Xu Chu simply swung the Fire Cloud Sword in his hand, and cut all the soldiers flying towards him in half one by one!

Then Xu Chu yelled at his men:

"Stop the enemy general!"

Upon hearing Xu Chu's order, the soldiers at the front immediately surrounded Song Xian!

Song Xian's speed was seriously slowed down by these enemy troops, and he was soon caught up by Xu Chu behind him!

Xu Chu screamed "Ah——" and swung the Fire Cloud Sword in his hand straight towards Song Xian's back!

Song Xian's face changed drastically, and he quickly turned around and raised his spear to block!
But what he never expected was that the enemy's blade with fire cloud patterns was coupled with extremely terrifying power!
He actually cut off the spear in an instant!
The sharp blade continued to fall, rapidly enlarging in Song Xian's horrified eyes, and finally landed on his face...
