During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Pengcheng belonged to the Song Dynasty and then to Chu. After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, Pengcheng County was established.
During the Chu and Han Dynasties, the overlord of Western Chu established Pengcheng as his capital and commanded the world.
Since ancient times, Pengcheng has been linked to Kyushu, and dragons and tigers have fought for thousands of years.
Pengcheng, as "the key to the North" and "the gateway to the South", has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
The closed city gates were slowly opened, and the people came slowly out of the city in a queue. If they wanted to live, they had to work.
The soldiers guarding the city gate have long been accustomed to everything in front of them. Apart from glancing at them occasionally, they are more often chatting and bragging. Might be able to get some money.
Although the soldiers in the army don’t have to worry about food and clothing, they still live a poor life. Only the commander and above in the army can get paid. As for ordinary soldiers, they work for free when they enter the army. When recruiting soldiers, they are assigned to each Every household, it doesn't mean that they can refuse if they don't want to join the army, unless they are people with certain power and rich family resources, they can avoid it by managing up and down.
Not only at the city gate, but also the soldiers on the top of the city. Many soldiers are resting against the city wall. Now that the weather is getting warmer and people are getting sleepy, how safe is Pengcheng? Worry, even many generals in the army have such thoughts, let alone ordinary soldiers.
The elite of Xuzhou's army followed Tao Qian to attack Dong Zhuo. The defense of the city was in charge of the defense of the city, and the political affairs were in charge of Biejia Mi Zhu and others.
On the top of the city, a lieutenant of the Xuzhou Military Academy yawned as he walked up the city wall. Even his armor was a little messy, and there was a faint fragrance left on his body, which showed that he was quite crazy last night.
Just as he was about to reprimand the soldiers in the city and find a sense of presence, suddenly, the captain's eyes widened, and he looked at the billowing dust and smoke in the west of the city in disbelief.
A gust of wind blew, and some of the cavalry appeared. The captain shuddered and shouted: "Close the city gate quickly, if there are cavalry coming, the soldiers on the city are on guard, otherwise they will be killed!"
This loud shout caused the nearby soldiers to stand up one after another, and even the clever soldiers rushed down the city wall to notify.
"General, these cavalry are all dressed in the Han army, not rebels." A village chief stepped forward and said in a low voice.
The lieutenant snorted coldly and said: "The attack is menacing, I don't know what's going on, so naturally you have to be careful, otherwise if something happens, I will be the first to take your head."
The head of the village shrunk his neck, "General, are they soldiers and horses under Tao Cishi's command?"
"It's absolutely impossible." The captain shook his head. Xuzhou sent troops to attack Dong Zhuo. Although the number of troops dispatched reached 5000, the most lacking in the army was cavalry. If the princes successfully attacked Dong Zhuo and gained benefits, it was impossible. Tao Qian got so many cavalry.
The speed of the cavalry was so fast. After the captain's order was conveyed, they were already approaching the city. At this time, the soldiers on the city were not fully prepared, and the city gate was in chaos. How had they ever experienced such a situation? Two thousand cavalry Rolling, rumbling horseshoes resounded through the sky, and even the ground near the city gate was trembling slightly.
After seeing this scene, the people who had just walked out of the city wanted to return to the city as quickly as possible, while the people who didn't know it wanted to leave the city. The captain's order was successfully conveyed.
The first person, holding a painting halberd, drew a certain distance from the soldiers behind him, his black cloak was hunting, and his speed was extremely fast.
The red rabbit horse was nimble, shuttled nimbly among the people, and arrived at the city gate in an instant. As soon as a soldier raised his spear, he killed Lu Bu with a halberd, and blood flowed down the red tassels.
A square halberd kept swinging, and took away the life of a famous soldier. The people were confused and the soldiers were terrified.
However, no one who came within a ten-foot radius of Chituma was spared. Such power made Xuzhou soldiers look at Lu Bu with panic.
Not long after Lu Bu flexed his muscles at the city gate, the iron cavalry came and seized the city gate with a destructive force.
At this time, no one will pity the people in chaos, and they are ordered to occupy Pengcheng at a faster speed.
Shouting to kill Zhentian, the captain's expression changed drastically when he saw this. He didn't expect that this cavalry was really coming towards Pengcheng, and immediately led the soldiers down the city wall in a hurry.
However, after seeing the momentum of the cavalry, the defenders didn't have the slightest intention to fight. The captain killed Lu Bu in the chaos, which aggravated the chaos of the defenders.
The iron cavalry charged, and the momentum was astonishing. Although the Xuzhou army had cavalry, the number of cavalry could not be compared with Lu Bu's.
The round of charge was not over yet, the defenders were defeated, and the panicked soldiers fled in all directions. They wanted to get out of this dangerous area as soon as possible, and there would be more risks if they stayed a little longer.
Xuzhou's elite soldiers were taken away by Tao Qian. Most of the soldiers in the city had never experienced war. Seeing the cruel and bloody side of the cavalry charge, their fear was infinitely magnified in their hearts.
After taking over the city gate, Lu Bu immediately ordered Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, and Li Dian to lead [-] cavalry to raid the remaining city gates, and personally led [-] cavalry to the governor's mansion.
The Governor of Xuzhou and the Governor of the State are not only different in status, but also have many differences in power. As the Governor of Xuzhou, Tao Qian exercises the same power as the Governor of the State.
Chapter 18 Surprise Attack on Xuzhou
After breaking through the governor's mansion, it is equivalent to the control of Pengcheng falling into the hands of Lu Bu.
Two thousand iron cavalry raided, causing chaos in the city. The fleeing soldiers and people spread the news of the enemy's entry in the city. The people who had left their homes returned one after another and closed their homes. They are the lowest level people, involved in such things Among them, what will happen.
Not only the common people, some fleeing soldiers took the opportunity to enter the homes of the common people, and the extremely vicious soldiers were even motivated by money.
After receiving the order from the captain, Zhang Kai suddenly woke up. At this time, beside Zhang Kai, lay two attractive women, who were wrapped around Zhang Kai's body like octopuses.
As if awakened by Zhang Kai's actions, a woman muttered in dissatisfaction, "General, it's still early in the morning."
"Go away." Zhang Kai sat up suddenly and shouted sharply.
Seeing Zhang Kai angry, the two women shivered.
The soldiers who entered the room to report the news seemed to have forgotten the danger of the cavalry raiding the city. They stared at the two women with wide eyes and opened their mouths slightly.
"Order the army to gather immediately and rush to the west of the city to stop the enemy." Zhang Kai drew out his sword and beheaded the soldier, shouting dissatisfied.
The bloody scene made the two women scream.
"If you dare to scream again, I will kill you all right now, so hurry up and find the armor and clothes for me." Zhang Kai scolded angrily.
When the two women heard this, their delicate bodies trembled unceasingly, but they dared not disobey the slightest bit. It was hard for them to imagine that this was the Captain who had been crazy with them for half a night last night and kept talking sweetly.
When Zhang Kai walked out of the mansion, the soldiers in the army had not yet gathered, and the soldiers' armors were not neat, which seemed to be the norm. Some soldiers even asked where his weapons went, as if this was not a battle, but just a battle. drill.
"Soldiers obey the order, follow the general to kill the enemy!" Zhang Kaiyun shouted with all his strength, encountering the enemy's surprise attack, the situation is so critical, if it can't be resolved as soon as possible, it will become Pengcheng's nightmare, not only that, he will also Being implicated, as for the fact that the soldiers in the army had not been assembled, he couldn't wait.
"Captain, Captain Li was killed by the enemy, and the city gate fell."
"Captain, a cavalry is approaching the Governor's Mansion."
......
News about the situation in the city kept reaching Zhang Kai's ears. Zhang Kai hurriedly divided his soldiers into two parts. The deputy general led a thousand people to the city gate for rescue, while he led an army of two thousand to the governor's mansion.
The governor's mansion is the symbol of Xuzhou, if the governor's mansion falls, the consequences will be disastrous.
Although Zhang Kai had problems in his daily life, he was a warrior on the battlefield, and he made a lot of contributions in fighting against the Yellow Turbans. In addition, the Zhang family was quite powerful in the city, so he was able to become the captain.
Lu Bu raised his halberd in his hand, and thousands of cavalry reined in their horses one after another. The slightly chaotic Xuzhou army in front of them made Lu Bu a little amused. At this time, the sky was already bright, and it had been more than half an hour since the cavalry raided the city gate. This was the first Xuzhou army he encountered in the city, which really made people feel a little ridiculous.
"Who are you? How dare you lead an army to invade Pengcheng! How dare you do it!" Zhang Kai yelled at the front of the battle, riding his horse and cutting his saber.
Lu Bu stepped forward slowly, his halberd lowered.
Silent oppression came to his face, he didn't know Lu Bu, but Zhang Kai felt tremendous pressure from Lu Bu's body, as if he would be decapitated the next moment.
"A certain one is Marquis Wen." Lu Bu said lightly.
"Marquis Wen?" Zhang Kai's eyes tightened.
Although Xuzhou is far away from Luoyang, there are rumors in Xuzhou that Lv Bu, under Ding Yuan's tent, betrayed and defected to Dong Zhuo, and helped Dong Zhuo eradicate dissidents in the city.
"Are you Lu Bu, a general under Dong Zhuo's tent?" Zhang Kai was shocked.
"Exactly." Lu Bu stared at Zhang Kai coldly.
The ghosts of Zhang Kai are all gone. Didn't it say that the allied forces of the princes won a complete victory and defeated the old thief Dong Zhuo and took back Luoyang? Why did Dong Zhuo's fierce general Lu Bu appear in Pengcheng?
"Mr. Wen should retreat quickly, that is Zhang Kai, Captain of Pengcheng." Zhang Kai sternly shouted: "Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Fang Tian's painted halberd in Lu Bu's hand was slightly lifted up, causing Zhang Kai's body to tremble.
"Could it be that Captain Zhang didn't think about it carefully, if he takes refuge in this general, he can avoid the disaster of killing himself, and you are still the captain of Pengcheng." Lu Bu said: "If not, the only thing we can do is die!"
If it had been according to Lu Bu's character, he would have led the army to charge forward long ago. Xuzhou's army was disorganized, and with the combat power of the cavalry, it only took one charge to defeat Zhang Kai. However, he followed Jia Xu's advice and tried to win over the defenders in the city. Will, so that the city can be stabilized faster.
Hearing this, Zhang Kai's expression kept changing, and he couldn't help comparing the situation of the two sides. What he had to admit was that with the current state of the Xuzhou army, it was simply impossible to drive Lu Bu out of the city, and Lu Bu's promise , also has a fatal temptation for Zhang Kai
"Lieutenant Zhang didn't know that Marquis Wen was dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's brutal behavior, and he had already left Dong Zhuo's old thief." Jia Xu stepped forward and said.
One sentence completely broke Zhang Kai's last persistence. Since Lv Bu has gone to the opposite side of Dong Zhuo, he is a loyal minister of the great Han. After taking refuge in Lv Bu, his status can be preserved. As for the future, who can predict it? Lu Bu's arrival was in itself unimaginable.
"Thanks to Marquis Wen's praise, the general is willing to take refuge." Zhang Kai got off his horse, knelt on one knee and cupped his fists.
Lu Bu didn't get off his horse. "For the affairs in the city, I have to take care of Captain Zhang for the time being. Just follow Wenhe's orders. Hao Meng, you lead five hundred cavalry to assist Wenhe."
"Here." Hao Meng clasped her fists and said.
Zhang Kai took refuge, and the situation changed dramatically. The soldiers of the Xuzhou army who followed Zhang Kai were dumbfounded. Zhang Kai was one of the most powerful generals in Xuzhou, so he bowed and took refuge so easily?However, they were secretly relieved that this battle could be avoided.
The Xuzhou Army has 2000 people, but when facing thousands of cavalry, they felt overwhelming killing intent. They had no doubt that the Xuzhou Army would suffer heavy losses after the two sides fought.
With Zhang Kai's cooperation and Jia Xu's guidance, within two hours, Pengcheng, this ancient city, was under the control of Lu Bu, and the soldiers guarding the gates, the cavalry following Lu Bu and the infantry of Xuzhou's army, were extremely important. It was Lu Bu who felt at ease with Zhang Kai, but he only had [-] cavalry under his command. It was not a wise move to use cavalry as infantry to take over the defense.
Lu Bu led an iron cavalry raid on Pengcheng, Zhang Kai surrendered, and the news that all the city had fallen into Lu Bu's control spread in the city, and the officials of Pengcheng were shocked.
Chapter 19 Liu Dai sends troops
They had only heard of Lu Bu's name before, and on the surface, they often denounced Lu Bu's shameless behavior of betraying the master, but fate is often so magical. Now that Lu Bu has become the master of the city, their safety even depends on Lu Bu's life. hands.
Lu Bu is an out-and-out fierce general, but he has many differences from literati in his actions.
The situation was worse than others, and the officials in Pengcheng had to bow their heads and went to the governor's mansion to pay a visit to Lu Bu.
Occupying Pengcheng is the first step for Lu Bu. It is very important for Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others to arrive safely in Pengcheng. Otherwise, it is extremely difficult to form absolute control over Pengcheng in a short period of time with only the strength in his hands. .
Pengcheng, which is stable on the surface, must have many small-minded people secretly. They didn't stand up at this time because they were waiting for the situation to change.
Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, led the army to leave Luoyang under the pretext of being worried about the situation in Yanzhou. In fact, he saw clearly the nature of the coalition forces of the princes. How could he lead an army into Qiao Mao's army?
Lv Bu broke away from Dong Zhuo's control, captured Xiaopingjin, and entered Hanoi. In Liu Dai's view, it was just Lv Bu's desire to return to Bingzhou to regroup.
However, after the news that Lu Bu's army captured the white horse and entered Yanzhou, Liu Dai panicked. Yanzhou was his foundation. If Yanzhou was harmed by Lu Bu, he would cry without tears.
Liu Dai is well aware of Lv Bu's bravery and combat ability. Although he has more than ten thousand troops under his command, and the army left behind in Yanzhou has nearly [-] people, it is not easy to defeat Lv Bu. Fang Tianji made the princes fearful.
Hastily ordered the army to move forward quickly. When Pengcheng fell, Lu Bu's army only passed through Yanzhou, but after the news came that the city along the way asked for the food and grass needed by the army, Liu Dai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then came the news that Lu Bu attacked Pengcheng, Liu Dai was shocked by the capture of Pengcheng.
Engaged in Wang Kaidao: "Assassin, now it seems that Lu Bu really wants to break away from the old thief Dong Zhuo and stand on his own. If Lu Bu occupies Pengcheng, the army under his command must go to Xuzhou. If the governor stops the rear army and wipes them out, it will not only eradicate for the court. To be rebellious, and to be able to get the materials that Dong Zhuo looted in Luoyang, is killing two birds with one stone."
"Furthermore, Pengcheng is where Tao Qian's foundation lies, and it is occupied by Lu Bu. He will definitely not let it go. Even if Lu Bu is brave, what will happen then?"
Hearing this, Liu Dai showed emotion, how rich Luoyang is, when Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an, he confiscated a large amount of gold, silver and jewels, and after intercepting Lu Bu's army, the benefits were absolutely beyond imagination.
"Lü Bu led the elite to Pengcheng, and the army escorting food and grass is not a concern. We only need to send a general with [-] elite troops to defeat them." Wang Kai continued.
After a long silence, Liu Dai made up his mind. At this time, he had just led the troops into the territory of Chenliu and arrived in Yanzhou, and it would take a long time.
"Mao Hui, I order you to lead five thousand elite troops to Yanzhou to stop Lu Bu's army. If there is any resistance, you will be shot!" Liu Dai ordered.
Mao Hui showed excitement, cupped his fists and said, "I will understand in the end."
When the armies of the feudal lords confronted Dong Zhuo, Liu Dai lost many generals, among which Mao Hui performed the best.
Five thousand elite soldiers came to Yanzhou in the starry night.
Mao Hui was very excited. After defeating Lv Bu's army, he would surely gain fame and be reused after returning to Yanzhou. Although Lv Bu was brave, he was far away from Pengcheng.
Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Cao Xing, and Cheng Lian, the five generals, were in charge of escorting the luggage and supplies. They did not dare to delay the slightest delay in their marching speed. At the beginning, Gao Shun made a promise in front of Lu Bu to march a hundred days a day. Li's words.
In other words, it only takes seven days to travel from Baima to Pengcheng.
Passing through the city, Zhang Liao led the cavalry in a majestic formation, asking for food and grass under the banner of Marquis Wen. These officials came to reward the army obediently with a peaceful attitude, and tried their best to show a look of admiration for Marquis Wen .
The group had just left Dingtao when the cavalry in the army came to report that a Yanzhou army was approaching aggressively, and even the army in Dingtao City was being mobilized.
Zhang Liao snorted coldly, "It seems that Liu Dai wants to attack me."
"Liu Dai is just a defeated general under the general's command. An Gan is so rampant that he will lead his people to defeat him." Cao Xing said disdainfully.
After the generals in the army heard the news that Liu Dai had sent an army to intercept them, they cursed endlessly. They were generals under the invincible Marquis Wen. Although the battlefield was covered by Lu Bu's light, it did not mean that their fighting spirit was not high.
After the scolding gradually subsided, Zhang Liao turned his attention to Gao Shun who had been silent all the time, "I don't know what General Gao thinks about this matter?"
In the past, other generals might not have put Gao Shun in their eyes, but Lu Bu entrusted Gao Shun with such an important matter as escorting supplies, which is enough to show that Lu Bu attaches great importance to Gao Shun.
Gao Shun said: "General Zhang must have a plan, why not tell it and let all the generals listen."
Zhang Liao was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also had a good strategy in leading the army, which won Lv Bu's trust. Gao Shun, who had never had much contact with the generals in the army, naturally would not try to steal Zhang Liao's limelight.
"From the point of view of this general, Liu Dai's army is quite threatening, and Dingtao's soldiers are relatively weaker. Otherwise, when our army passes by Dingtao, the officials of Dingtao will not reward our army." Zhang Liao said slowly. He said: "Now there are more than 6000 people in the army. Excluding the soldiers guarding the supplies, the mobilized army has at least [-] people. I will lead the cavalry alone to face Dingtao's army. How about General Gao leading the army to stop Liu Dai's army?"
"With the fighting power of the cavalry, the speed of defeating the Yanzhou army will be very fast, and then come to help General Gao."
Gao Shun pondered for a moment and said, "Just according to General Zhang's words."
Zhang Liao ordered Qi cavalry to head towards Dingtao, Wei Xu and Cheng Lian guarded the supplies, Gao Shun and Cao Xing led [-] soldiers to meet Mao Hui.
The army had already set up their formation, and after waiting for a full hour, Mao Hui led the army to arrive slowly.
