Chapter 906: Surrounding the Point for Reinforcement

"Yun Chang, Yide, what should our army plan next? Attack Shouchun City?" Liu Bei asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Of course, Xiahou Pifu was shot in one eye by Ping'er, and now I'm afraid he can't do anything anymore. Of course our army will take advantage of this great opportunity to attack Shouchun!"

Zhang Fei said bluntly: "We can let those Cao soldiers surrender as pioneers to consume Cao's troops. After they are both defeated, our army will attack again in one go."

Liu Bei nodded with a smile: "What Yide said makes sense."

In fact, the arrangement of these prisoners of war of Cao's army is really a problem. They can't just kill them, right? But keeping them locked up like this is a waste of food, so let them go, and they will benefit the enemy and be consumed as cannon fodder. It seems to be a good idea.

"Yun Chang, what do you think?" Liu Bei turned to look at Guan Yu again.

Guan Yu touched his beard and said, "Brother, I have a plan."

Liu Bei's eyes lit up: "Oh? Yun Chang, please don't show off, tell me quickly."

"Cao's army does not only have Xiahou Dun in Huainan, but also has many soldiers and horses stationed there. Our army can attack Shouchun City, attract Cao's army's other reinforcements, and then take advantage of the situation to ambush!"

"There are over 10,000 defenders in Shouchun City. The city defense is strong and difficult to capture in ten months. In this case, why not use Shouchun City as a bait to attract Cao's troops from all directions to come for reinforcements and wipe out Cao's troops in the Huainan area one by one?" Guan Yu sneered: "Xiahou Dun is Cao Cao's founding general. I heard that he is besieged in Shouchun City. Cao Jun from all directions will definitely reinforce Shouchun. Isn't this a good opportunity for our army to wipe out Cao Jun in the Huainan area in one fell swoop?"

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei looked at each other and laughed.

"Okay!" Liu Bei said overjoyed: "In that case, let's attack with two prongs. Yun Chang divides half of the troops, the governor storms Shouchun City, and Yide and I ambush the soldiers and horses coming to help!"

After deciding on the strategy, Guan Yu and Liu Bei and Zhang Fei carried out their troops separately. Guan Yu led his army to besiege Shouchun City, while Liu Bei and Zhang Fei set up an ambush halfway.

"Kill!"

Outside Shouchun City, thousands of Yuzhou troops lined up outside the city, surrounding Shouchun City on three sides.

Guan Yu was holding a Green Dragon Sword, riding on horseback, stroking his long beard with one hand, and looking proudly at Shouchun City opposite.

"Archery!"

"Siege the city!"

Among the siege teams, the Yuzhou Army and Cao Army prisoners each accounted for half. At the same time, many Yuzhou Army lined up behind them, serving as a supervisory team to intimidate these Cao soldiers.

"Drive the enemy troops off the city!"

Shi Huan personally supervised the battle at the top of the city, commanding the attack and defense. Arrows were being fired back and forth one after another from the top of the city. From time to time, Cao's soldiers were hit by arrows and fell from the top of the city. The Yuzhou soldiers below the city were hit by arrows and fell immediately. on the ground.

But Guan Yu was indifferent to the casualties in front of him. Firstly, half of the casualties were captured by Cao's army. Secondly, the original strategy was not to conquer Shouchun City in one fell swoop.

At this time, Shouchun was fifty miles east.

"Faster, faster!"

Only five thousand Cao Cao's troops were seen marching rapidly in the wilderness, holding a flag with the word "Lu". The leading general was tall and thin, sitting on horseback, wielding a spear, it was Lu Zhao.

Xiahou Dun defeated Huai River! He was shot in one eye and retreated to Shouchun City to hold on. Lu Zhao was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly led his troops to Shouchun for emergency reinforcements.

Just kidding, Xiahou Dun is not an ordinary person. Not only is he the leading senior general of Cao's army in the Huainan region, but he also has a very close personal relationship with Prime Minister Cao. If something happens to Xiahou Dun, Prime Minister Cao will not kill him?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhao couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Lu Zhao shouted loudly, urging Cao Jun to speed up the advance.

"Haha! Listen to Cao Jun on the opposite side. Han Zuo General Liu Bei and Anton General Zhang Yide of Yan are here. Why don't you quickly put down your weapons and capture them without mercy!"

A thunder-like sound suddenly appeared in the air, and the five thousand Cao troops suddenly stopped. Lu Zhao took a closer look, and saw countless heads suddenly appeared on both sides and in front, surrounding the five thousand Cao troops on three sides.

On the front, there are two large flags complementing each other. On one side is written: Han Zuo General - Liu; on the other side is written: Han Andong General - Zhang.

Under the two big flags, there is a horse on each side. One of them has a face like a crown of jade, holding two male and female double-stranded swords. The other person is completely black, with a black horse, black armor, and a black face. Who is it if it's not Zhang Fei?

Lu Zhao was suddenly ambushed, and for a moment he couldn't think of a way around it. He shouted to Zhang Fei: "That black guy, how dare you lead the army on my way? You will die?"

"Hahaha, I, Lao Zhang, want to see who is seeking death! Send me thousands of arrows to kill the enemy!"

When the archers standing on three sides heard this, they immediately drew their bows and arrows, and aimed their sharp arrows at Cao Cao's army of five thousand, wrapping them in it.

"shooting!"

"No, raise your shield quickly!" Lu Zhao said in shock.

However, it was too late.

"ah!"

Whoosh whoosh!

Shooting from three sides, successive rounds of arrow rain continued to cover the five thousand Cao Jun. Cao Jun was caught off guard and was shot in an instant. He fell on his back and screamed endlessly.

Poof!

The sharp arrows easily tore through the armor worn by Cao Jun and shot into their flesh. When the arrows penetrated the flesh, there was a dull thumping sound. Many experienced veterans in the battle formation were still unable to perform. He was beyond the level of actual combat and was shot to the ground by an arrow.

"Don't be chaotic, don't panic, raise your shields and form a formation!" Lu Zhao, as an experienced general, did not panic even though he was ambushed, but loudly ordered his soldiers to be careful.

Just then—whoosh!

"Roar!"

A wolf-fang arrow suddenly shot through the air and accidentally hit the neck of the horse under Lu Zhao's crotch. The war horse neighed loudly in pain, and suddenly stood up.

"Ouch!"

The war horse went crazy under the pain, jumped up and down, threw Lu Zhao off the horse, and then galloped out, making Lu Zhao dizzy.

Without Lu Zhao's command, Cao's army was in chaos. Surrounded by enemy troops from three sides, they suffered heavy casualties and screams.

"Stop shooting!"

Liu Bei gave a majestic order, turned to Zhang Fei and said: "Third brother, lead the charge."

"okay!"

Zhang Fei brandished his eight-foot-long snake spear and roared like thunder: "Come on, follow me and defeat the enemy!"

"Kill!"

Tens of thousands of Yuzhou troops suddenly shouted and rushed towards Cao Jun from all directions. At this time, Cao Jun had not yet recovered from the enemy's arrow rain.

"The enemy is coming, form a formation to defend yourself!"

At the critical moment, Lu Zhao endured the pain and stood up. He was thrown to the ground by the war horse just now, and now his butt still hurts, but the overall situation is more important and he can't care about that much.
