As soon as they heard Cao Xing's words, Hou Cheng and Wei Xu were not convinced. Even if they had to refute, Zang Ba frowned and called out the trend of several people to continue their argument: "don't quarrel any more! Cao Xing is right. No matter who the opponent is, we should not underestimate the enemy! You know, we can't lose any more! If we lose again this time, we will not be able to raise our head again under the master's account! " Zang BA's popularity may not be as good as Zhang Liao's, but he is a worthy second leader of the eight masters, and his prestige is not low among them.
When Zang Ba opened his mouth, the other four men all shut up. Zang BA was right. Originally, all the generals of Bingzhou were under the account of Cao Cao, and their prestige in Cao Cao's army was not as good as those old generals. Especially after Cao Cao carried out the military reform, it was tantamount to depriving them of control over the army in disguise. Without the army, they did not have the outstanding ability as Zhang Liao and Gao Shun did, and they could only become more and more silent in the Cao army. This time, if Cao Cao had not made all the generals who were good at fighting prepare to capture Hangu pass, it would have been impossible for the five of them to lead the troops out.
The death of Song Xian and the defeat of Zhang Liao made Cao Cao despise their Bingzhou generals. If they were defeated again this time, I'm afraid that these Bingzhou generals would never make a difference in the camp of Cao army. The five of them were very clear about this, so they were all holding their strength in their hearts.
"Newspaper --!" One of the scouts in front rushed over on a fast horse and rushed to the five people, then they clasped their fists and said, "report to the general! Let the enemy come out of the city to meet them
"Hum!" Although he was just saying that we should be careful not to underestimate the enemy, now that he heard that the other side was out of the city to fight, how could Zang Ba swallow this tone and hum coldly and asked, "have you ever found out who the other party's senior general is?"
The Scout immediately replied, "the other general is Sun Yi, the son of Sun Jian in the eastern Wu Dynasty."
"Sun Yi?" Hou Cheng also said scornfully: "nobody! It's just a dandy who relies on Sun Jian's father's shadow! " Bingzhou generals are the children of poor families. They always look down on the generals who come from rich families like Sun Yi.
"All right Zang Ba said faintly, "I still say that, don't underestimate the enemy too much! Let's go Finish saying, then legs a clip, toward the front to rush. The other four generals also called the army behind them, followed Zang Ba and drove to Rencheng.
Out of the woods on the outskirts of the city, we can see from a distance that there are more than 10000 people standing in front of the trees, waving flags and shouting. The first one, wearing brand-new silver armour, holding a silver gun, and holding a snow-white horse, is Sun Jian's third son Yi.
As soon as he saw Sun Yi dressed so smartly, Hou Cheng felt even more unhappy. He murmured in a low voice, "it's not good to look good!" Although the voice was not loud, it was just able to make the four generals around him hear clearly. However, the public did not refute his meaning. It seemed that they agreed with Hou Cheng's view.
"Will you dare to fight me?" Sun Yi in the distance suddenly roared loudly and fell into the ears of all the people, which made people's faces very ugly. Being challenged by a dandy they despise will only bring shame to anyone, and they, the generals of Bingzhou, are no exception.
Hou Cheng was the first one to stop. He clapped his horse and ran forward. He waved his spear and drank: "boy! Don't be wild! Look at your grandfather Hou Cheng to teach you a lesson
At this time, the two armies were very close, so after a while, Hou Cheng ran to Sun Yi, raised his spear and stabbed Sun Yi in the face. How could Sun Yi say that he was also an excellent apprentice of Chen Ren? How could he be stabbed by Hou Cheng's gun? When he saw the silver gun in his hand, he blocked Hou Cheng's long gun, and then he took Hou Cheng's three middle and lower three ways in a row.
Hou Cheng is just on the spur of the moment. After Sun Yi stops his shot, Hou Chengcheng regrets. However, he never thought that Sun Yi was so fierce that he was immediately caught off guard by the three guns. After stopping Sun Yi's three shots in a hurry, he quickly pulled the riding company back several steps and looked at the young general in front of him in horror.
But in Cao's camp, seeing Hou Cheng suffer a great loss, Zang BA's face is better. Sun Yi's famous name Hou Cheng and others may not have heard of it, but Zang Ba, who has always been steady, has heard of it. Sun Yi has been good at learning martial arts since he was a child, and he has followed Chen Ren to practice martial arts since childhood. It is impossible to say that he is defeated by Hou Cheng. If Hou Cheng had just rushed up, he would have beaten Sun Yi away. Zang Ba must have suspected that there was fraud. Now it was Hou Cheng who fell behind as soon as he went up. This was a normal phenomenon, and Zang BA was relieved of his doubts temporarily.
Zang Ba turned his head to the other three generals and said, "you go to help Hou Cheng!" As soon as Zang BA's words were finished, Wei Xu, who had the best relationship with Hou Cheng, immediately beat his horse to catch up with him. Then Cao Xing and Hao Meng all came forward.
After the three generals arrived, Hou Cheng became more courageous and gave Sun Yi a vicious look. However, Sun Yi is not afraid of the four generals, holding his head high and looking at each other. He does not mean to be afraid at all. Instead, he points the silver gun in his hand at the four generals. The provocation is self-evident.
In the face of Sun Yi's arrogance, even Hao Meng and Cao Xing can't help but get angry, not to mention the irascible Hou Cheng and Wei Xu. They both drink at the same time, hold up their guns and kill Sun Yi. Hao Meng and Cao Xing are not idle. They run around Sun Yi and form a circle with Hou Cheng and Wei Xu. Sun Yi is in the middle of the battle.Although it is said that if the four generals of Bingzhou are fighting alone, they are no match for Sun Yi. But now the four people are fighting around Sun Yi, it seems that Sun Yi can't cope with it, but can barely resist the attack of the four. That's what happened. Zang Ba, who was watching the war behind him, was very surprised. Sun Yi's martial arts skills were far beyond his expectation. He could resist the attack of Hou Cheng's four men. In his opinion, there are not many people in the world who can do it. It seems that Sun Yi is indeed a disciple of the Dragon general!
Zang Ba didn't want to make any mistakes in the battle. He had to drive his horse to defeat Sun Yi as soon as possible and then attack Rencheng.
Sun Yi saw Zang Ba also killed him. Even when he shot at Cao Xing behind him, he was scared to see Cao Xing in a hurry. This also made a gap in the four people's encirclement. Seizing this gap, Sun Yi rushed out of the encirclement, waved the silver gun in his hand, and yelled: "withdraw! Get out of here
Zang Ba, who has just come to see Sun Yi's action, suddenly has a flash of light in his eyes. How decisive he is! As soon as the enemy is defeated, he will retreat immediately and never be sloppy. Indeed, he is a great general. He will be the enemy of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the future! Thinking of this, Zang Ba secretly decided to kill Sun Yi in this battle.
"Go! Catch Sun Yi alive! " After Cao Yi's death, Cao Yi immediately chases sun Yijun, but he can't escape. Wei Xu followed closely, but Cao Xing and Hao Meng looked at Zang BA with their eyes. After all, Zang BA was the commander in chief of the army.
Zang Bayi saw that when the Xuzhou army retreated, his soldiers and armor were abandoned. There was no formation at all. Sun Yi, the leader, was even more embarrassed. His helmet was tilted to one side. Immediately, they also nodded to Cao Xing and Hao Meng, and the three generals followed Hou Cheng and Wei Xu and led their troops to pursue them. However, Zang Ba still kept an eye on his mind, leaving 50000 people in the rear of the army. If there is any accident, these 50000 people can still support at any time.
Sun Yi chased Sun Yi for several Li. He was about to catch up with him. Sun Yi, with the Xuzhou army in front of him, suddenly turned around and got into the woods on one side. Hou Cheng and Wei Xu are stunned. They just want to chase into the woods, but behind them comes Zang BA's cry.
"Don't go in!" Zang Ba came up on his horse and said to them, "do not enter the forest! Who knows what's wrong in the woods! Don't fall into the trap of the eastern Wu Kingdom! It's better to wait until the army comes up! "
Although Hou Cheng and Wei Xu didn't agree with him, Zang BA's prestige was there, and he was the commander-in-chief of the army. They agreed with him reluctantly and stood in the same place waiting for the army to follow up.
After a while, Cao Xing and Hao Meng came up with the army and looked around, but they didn't see the shadow of Sun Yi and Xuzhou army who were hunted by Hou Cheng. They just wanted to ask. All of a sudden, the cavalry's Mount nearby hissed and overturned his master to the ground and landed on the muddy ground. He was very embarrassed.
The cavalry's embarrassed appearance made everyone burst into laughter. The cavalry's face turned red with shame. He whipped his whip and tried to whip the suddenly crazy horse. However, his clothes were wet with such a fall. At this time, it was late autumn. When the autumn wind blew, the cavalry could not help shivering.
Zang Ba, who was also laughing with the crowd, looked at the cavalry's shivering, but the smile on his face suddenly froze. He looked right and left, but then his face changed greatly. He immediately said to the army, "retreat! Retreat
All the officers and men were confused by Zang BA's cry. Hou Cheng asked Zang Ba, "Zang Ba? What's up? Don't you want to pursue Sun Yi? Why is it that we have to retreat all of a sudden? "
Zang Ba pointed around with a pale face and said, "we are in a trap! Look around. It's late autumn. All around are dry vegetation. If we light these plants, we are afraid that our 50000 army will be destroyed once! " Zang BA's words changed people's faces. Looking at the surrounding environment, it was narrow and secluded, with dry vegetation on both sides. It was a good place to set fire to kill people!
