Cheng Xi was shocked when he saw this situation and shouted: "Li Xue, Li Xue——"
The general said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Fu, our army is three times that of the enemy. We should immediately form a formation to defend the enemy and use all our strength to defeat the enemy."
"That's right, that's right, I have the advantage, what's there to be afraid of?" Cheng Xi suddenly woke up and quickly sent an order to form a formation, waiting for Generals Li Xue and Wang Cheng to come and join us to defeat the enemy together.
At this time, Li Xuegang withdrew from the camp, and Ding Feng arrived and hurriedly fought. Only three people were killed and he was in a hurry. He saw so many gunshots that he couldn't tell the difference between the real and the real. He was completely different from the previous one, and he was shocked. .
Although he had just become a general, he was still a veteran of many years of fighting. When he tried to challenge his opponent, he yelled angrily and slashed with all his strength, hoping to retreat while the opponent was returning to defense.
Unexpectedly, Ding Feng was already sure of victory. He only raised the tip of his spear slightly, and the sword was pushed away by the opponent's spear. The tip of the spear came out of a hole like a poisonous snake and instantly pierced his chest.
Li Xue trembled on his horse, vomited blood, and gritted his teeth and said: "You... cheated..."
Ding Feng snorted coldly and saw Cao's army fleeing in chaos. He led his troops and rushed towards the central army to retrieve Cheng Xi.
Wang Cheng led the troops alone for the first time, and with great vigor, he rushed straight to the Chinese army's tent. When he saw a few straw men standing in the tent, he knew that he had fallen into the trap. When he hurriedly turned back, Xu Sheng had already arrived from the east.
"Hey, you dare to come here to die?" Wang Cheng secretly rejoiced, secretly thinking that he was really lucky.
In the rebel army, they encountered this defeated general and killed him. Even if he retreated, it was still a great achievement. With a thought in his mind, he stopped escaping and went straight to Xu Sheng to kill him, blocking him in the middle with his sword.
Flames were flying in the camp, and when the flames were extinguished, Xu Sheng could be seen with a sneer on his lips. The war horse galloped towards him, and he also slashed with his sword.
The cold light came towards me, Wang Cheng's broadsword collided with it, sparks flew, and the huge force reverberated, and he actually let go of his hand, and he couldn't help but scream in surprise.
Wang Cheng's eyes widened and he stared at the cold light in front of him, followed by the dancing and rotating fireworks before his eyes, and then turned dim.
Xu Sheng killed the enemy generals with a sword and led his troops into the chaotic Cao army. He rushed back and forth and killed no one.
Cheng Xi was commanding the formation of troops in front of the battle, waiting for the two generals to join forces to counterattack. However, when the defeated army fled back, he heard that Li Xue had been killed in battle and that Wang Cheng's life and death were unknown. He knew something was wrong. Seeing the Wu army approaching, he hurriedly gave the order to retreat.
Ding Feng took the lead and rushed straight into the rebel army. In an instant, he scattered Cao's army in the middle. Cheng Xi fled in embarrassment. The men and horses were in chaos and were chased and intercepted by the Wu army, causing numerous casualties.
As the east gradually became brighter, Cheng Xi fled to Anqiu with his remaining soldiers, followed by soldiers constantly chasing him. He ordered people to open the city gates and fled into the city, closing the four gates tightly. As for the other defeated troops, he did not care.
Not long after, Zhou Yu arrived with his army and sent an order to surround Anqiu City on all sides. People and horses were stationed around, but they only surrounded Anqiu City but did not attack.
Xu Sheng wondered: "The generals have ordered us to use force to lure the enemy deeper. Now that we have eliminated the main force of Cao's army, why not take the opportunity to attack the city, kill Cheng Xi, and avoid future troubles forever?"
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "The trouble in Qingzhou is not Cheng Xi's. This person does not know the art of war, so there is nothing to worry about. Tian Yu has been a general for many years and has been accustomed to fighting for a long time, so he is a powerful enemy!"
Xu Sheng did not take it seriously: "Beihai only has a few thousand defenders. If Cheng Xi is killed, the morale of the army will be chaotic. If we unite with the Liaodong Army, it will not be difficult to break the city."
Zhou Yu said: "Gongsun Kang and his son are stubborn, capricious, and cannot be fully trusted. If I only defeat Cheng Xi, why bother to go through so much trouble?"
Xu Sheng said: "I wonder what the governor's plan is?"
Previously, Zhou Yu ordered him and Ding Feng to pretend to be defeated by General Cao Cao. They were blocked in the city and insulted by Cao's army. They were all very angry. They pretended to be defeated and retreated to Weishui. They went back and forth and delayed the opportunity to fight. It was really incredible.
Zhou Yu looked at the top of Anqiu City and said calmly: "I want to monopolize Qingzhou."
Xu Sheng asked: "The Liaodong Army has occupied Donglai County and may not be willing to give up easily. If we turn against him and become enemies, Xiahou Dun's army will arrive soon, and our army may not be able to support it alone."
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "General, don't worry, I have already made a plan. Now Liu Yi is confronting Tian Yu. I heard that Cheng Xi was defeated. Something will happen. That's when I take Qingzhou."
Xu Sheng still wanted to ask more questions, but Ding Feng also led his troops to join him. The battle was a complete victory. He killed more than ten thousand Cao's troops, obtained countless baggage, and captured more than three thousand people, who were temporarily detained in the camp and guarded until they were released.
Zhou Yu ordered Xu Sheng to go to the city to call for battle and persuade Cheng Xi to surrender. He also ordered Ding Feng to select elite soldiers and go to rest early. He had other important arrangements after dark.
Cheng Xi returned to the government office and was still in shock. Only then did he realize that what Tian Yu said was true, and sighed: "I regret not listening to General Tian's words. Now I am trapped in a small town with no reinforcements. What should I do?"
The general said: "Although Anqiu is small, there is still enough food and grass. The Ming Dynasty only needs to hold on for a few days. General Xiahou will surely come and defeat the enemy by coordinating the inside and outside."
Cheng Xi reluctantly cheered up and ordered each battalion to reorganize and defend the city. The defenders came to report, but Wu Jun shouted outside the city, asking him to open the city and surrender.
Cheng Xi said angrily: "How can I, a noble Han minister, surrender to Wu Gou?"
…
The defeated army fled back to Beihai, and the city was in panic. Tian Yu sighed after hearing the news. Although he had expected this outcome, when he actually faced it, he still felt heavy.
Tian Pengzu said: "Zhou Yu is indeed worthy of his reputation. As his father expected, Governor Cheng has been defeated in the plot and all his main forces have been lost. What should my father do?"
Tian Yu's face was as dark as water and he said: "Cheng Xi's army was defeated. Liu Yi was worried that the Wu army came to take Beihai and would attack the city with all his strength, so he acted according to his plan."
Tian Pengzu finally realized the crisis, frowned and said: "Zhou Yu is good at using troops. If we wait for the Wu army to arrive, we may be trapped in the city and Qingzhou will not be protected. It is better to retreat to Leping first."
Tian Yu shook his head and said: "The Liaodong Army is watching eagerly outside the city. If they retreat at this time, Liu Yi will definitely use his troops to cover up the attack. Not only will he not be able to protect himself, he will also be wiped out and Qingzhou will be lost."
Tian Pengzu said anxiously: "General Xiahou has not arrived yet. There are few troops in Beihai. The situation is critical. Now the people in the city are shaken and morale is low. If my father does not retreat to the rear and is trapped in the city, who in Qingzhou will be in charge of important events?"
"Humph, I said before that if Cheng Xi is defeated, Liu Yi will also be defeated!"
Tian Yu took a deep breath and said slowly: "To protect Qingzhou, Beihai must not be lost. Now the only way to defeat the Liaodong Army is to deal with Soochow and hold on to wait for reinforcements."
Tian Pengzu remembered what Tian Yu had said before and asked hurriedly: "Liu Yi is also very good at using troops. The Liaodong Army has more than 20,000 soldiers. How can father defeat Liu Yi's troops?"
Tian Yu held the hilt of his sword tightly and said resolutely: "As the saying goes, you will die and live later! Since Liu Yi was eager to enter the city, a certain person took advantage of his plan. As long as he kills this person and eliminates the main force of the Liaodong Army, the Wu army will have nothing to fear."
Tian Pengzu was startled when he heard this, clasped his fists and said, "What's your clever plan, father?"
Tian Yu ordered: "Immediately go out to calm the people, and ask the people to hide in their houses and not go out privately. The defenders planted flags all over the city to show off. I will personally go out of the city in the morning to lure the enemy and pretend to retreat. Liu Yi will chase and enter the city." Just listen to my plan and act."
Tian Pengzu was shocked. He didn't expect Tian Yu to leave Beihai City. He cupped his fists and said, "Father, just ask."
