Three Kingdoms: Bandit Cao, let go of that woman!

Chapter 320 The Battle of Luo City
But after much deliberation, he couldn't come up with a result. Cao Peng wasn't frightened, he didn't take this matter to heart.

"Okay, let the soldiers take a good rest for a few days, and breaking Xichuan is the nearest thing!"

After Guan Yu took the order to leave, Cao Peng thought about some next strategies.

……

The front of the soldiers is approaching, Luocheng.

Although Zhang Lu's general Liu Gui had hoarded tens of thousands of soldiers and horses here, he did not have the confidence to compete head-on with Cao Peng.

The person who made this guy rely on him was Ma Chao.

This guy Ma Chao has tens of thousands of troops under his command.

They were still elite Xiliang iron cavalry, and this was Liu Gui's confidence.

So Ma Chao ate and drank a lot in the city these days, but Liu Gui gave him constant satisfaction.

"General Meng Qi, the safety of Luocheng depends on you alone!"

Liu Gui had said this to Ma Chao countless times, and Ma Chao couldn't help being a little funny. How could such a person dare to lead the army to fight?

Zhuge Liang on the side immediately took over the conversation, "Don't worry, General Liu, since we will not let that rebellious thief Cao Peng touch Xichuan again!"

Ma Chao frowned when he heard this. Zhuge Liang is very good at pretending, but he is not the one who really contributes.

"In this case, I will rely on the general and Mr. Kong Ming. I thank the people here!"

Liu Gui has done a lot of etiquette, after all, he has something to ask for from the other party.

After the banquet here dispersed, Ma Chao stopped Zhuge Liang and asked.

"Sir asked us to abandon the two camps and retreat to Luocheng. Such a place of spring, if we don't form horns with the outside world, we will be attacked by the other side."

Ma Chao understands these strategies of war, and Zhuge Liang naturally understands them too. She smiled faintly, and then said:
"Meng Qi, you don't need to worry too much about this matter. Just let me arrange everything. We don't really want to guard this city for him. It's just a pawn for us."

Luocheng will also be abandoned?
After Ma Chao understood Zhuge Liang's meaning, he became even more confused. One city after another was abandoned by Zhuge Liang. Can such a humiliating place really win the war in the end?
Zhuge Liang smiled lightly and said nothing, only saying that everything will be proved in the future.

……

After several days of recuperation, Cao Jun finally planned to launch a siege war.

This time it was Guan Yu and Huang Zhong who led the army to attack the city.

The two guys didn't have the mutual antipathy they had before.

It seems that after Huang Zhong rescued Guan Yu, although Guan Yu and Huang Zhong continued to bicker, there was already a bond between the two.

"Old guy, how long do you think it will take to capture this city?" Guan Yu looked at Luo Cheng and asked.

When Huang Zhong heard this, he smiled faintly.

"Guan Yunchang, why do you ask me about such a small town?"

Guan Yu felt that Huang Zhong was simply annoying, so he didn't say any more. What he cared about was Ma Chao in the city.

The last time Ma Chao drove him to death, Guan Yu still remembers this account.

"Wait until the sun is directly in the east, and we will attack!"

Huang Zhong pointed at Tianyi, and then said so, Guan Yu naturally had no objection.

Guan Yu also knew that it would be helpful to use troops according to the right time and place.

Now they are in the west, wait until the direct angle of the sun, and direct the defenders on the ship to the east to be pierced by the sun.

These are all taught in the military school opened by Cao Peng.

Speaking of this military academy was also a joke of Cao Peng. He began to teach irregularly, and the teachers who taught were all called in temporarily.

Even Huang Yueying was called by Cao Peng to share knowledge with everyone.

The sun was shining directly to the east, and Huang Zhong and Guan Yu launched an attack as agreed.

In Luocheng, Liu Gui panicked.

"Where did Ma Chao and Zhuge Liang go?"

He frantically looked for Ma Chao and the Xiliang army in Zhuge Liang's city, as if they had evaporated and disappeared without a trace.

"General, the guards sent the horses out of the city an hour ago when they saw Ma Chao and Zhuge Liang!"

Hearing this, Liu Gui shouted angrily, "What are the gate guards doing? There's no token to eat. Why let them out?"

The soldier reprimanded by him replied tremblingly: "General, they are your guests, and their attitude was not good when they left the city. Who would dare to stop them?"

"Shameless!" Liu Gui cursed angrily.

He still doesn't know what's going on, it's clear that Ma Chao and Zhuge Liang released his pigeons and abandoned Luocheng at the last moment.

"If I don't die this time, go back to the lord, and I must take part in these two thieves!"

Liu Gui's anger could not slow down Guan Yu and Huang Zhong's attack on the city.

It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that Luocheng is a tiny town.

After taking the large siege equipment such as the siege ladder, the army climbed up the city wall in an instant.

At the same time, Cao Peng has been paying attention to the changes on the front line.

When his secret work told him, Ma Chao and Zhuge Liang abandoned the city and fled.

Cao Peng smiled, he had a feeling that the fish was about to take the bait.

Luo City had never been his focus.

The fish he really wanted to catch were Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao. These two big fish deserved his attention.

"Zilong, so I'm going to meet for a while. Ma Chao probably wants to go around this mountain and attack us from behind!"

"promise!"

Cao Peng thought he had seen through Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao's intentions, so he went to Zhao Yun to order troops, fell in love with all the cavalry, and started chasing them from the opposite direction.

At this moment, Ma Chao and Zhuge Liang led [-] Xiliang cavalry to attack.

"Sir, are you sure the other party will definitely take the bait?" Too many accidents and failures made Ma Chao no longer confident in Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Meng Qi, I'm [-]% sure, it's absolutely possible."

Zhuge Liang felt embarrassed, he couldn't explain what happened to him.

But every time it seemed that he had expected that everything would be cut off by Cao Peng first.

There is a pair of big hands in the dark, which seems to be playing with him.

In the void somewhere, there is a pair of eyes staring at him.

So this time, after he thought of a strategy, he began to think in the opposite direction. What would Cao Peng do if he wanted to do the opposite of himself?
No matter from which point of view, it was obvious that he was going around the back this time.

Then he just didn't do this, he wanted to fight Cao Peng head-on.

Such a strategy is very dangerous. The reason why Ma Chao agreed to this strategy without blinking his eyes was because he believed that he had a high force value and could fight Cao Peng head-on.

It's not because he trusts Zhuge Liang, he's ready for a head-on duel.
