Chapter 212 I'm also delaying time
Lei Xu looked at the opposite flag and calmly analyzed: "Xu Chu and Huwei Camp left Junqiu. There were three banners in the enemy formation ahead, such as dragon, Xu and Tang. This shows that we are the left and right city defense camps in front of us. Now only the so-called craftsman camps and cavalry camps can fight in the city. If we can defeat the thousands of people in front of us, we might be able to conquer Hefei, and the income will be more than just outside the city."
"If you win the city, the profit will be greater, but the cost will not be small. I don't know how powerful the city defense camp is."
Zhang Duo's eyebrows frowned into the word "Sichuan": "In short, if we suffer a loss, we will find trouble for Mei Cheng when we look back. I don't know what this guy has to do with Li Shu."
Lei Xu shook his head slightly: "Defending the city is different from fighting in the wild. No one knows their strength. If the strength is very different later, we will decisively retreat. If Longxiong bets all his money, there is no need to fight with them to the end."
"I'll listen to you. I'll rely on General Lei to attack later. I'll assist the side."
"Um."
Because Mei Cheng instigated a temporary alliance, the two planned to rob outside Hefei, but they did not expect Long Xiang to come out, which was contrary to Hefei's previous strategy of fighting against the enemy.
After the march was so far, it was impossible to retreat when the defenders were seen, so the two planned to try it out. If they could win, they would pick the fruits of Hefei. When they encountered a tough slap, they would go back to Shouchun to question them.
The third battalion of Hefei was in line. Since Lei Xu and Zhang Duo had not completed the formation, they could only let the front line hold the position, so there were many commotions in the team behind them, and everything was seen in Long Xiong's eyes.
Longxiang shouldn't have given the enemy time, but he wanted to cover Zhang Fei's raid from the flank, so he ordered Xu Ding to come forward and fight.
Xu Ding took the order and immediately shouted in front of the formation: "Who is the rat who dares to invade my territory? Those who have the courage will come out and die."
Seeing Xu Ding's burly figure and was uncertain whether it was Xu Chu or Xu Ding, Lei Xu frowned and asked, "We will not kill the nameless people. The back of the formation is under the banner of Xu. Could it be Xu Chu who defeated Sun Ce?"
Xu Ding raised his sword in his hand and snorted coldly: "I am Xu Ding, are you looking for my second brother? I'm afraid your neck is not hard enough."
Lei Xu was hesitating whether to go to the battle, and Zhang Duo next to him turned his head and whispered:
"Although it's not Xu Chu himself, he doesn't seem easy to mess with. We have enough strength to do so, so why do we have to fight hard? It's not worth it."
"General Zhang means."
"Drag for a while, wait until the formation is completed, and then attack directly."
Lei Xu and Zhang Duo coincided with each other, so he pointed a spear at Xu Ding and said contemptuously: "Since it's not Xu Chu, how can you fight with us? You don't retreat quickly and change to another famous person to fight."
"Just"
After hearing this, Xu Ding was speechless and turned his head to ask for advice from the formation. When he saw Tang Xu, Hao Meng and other generals, he looked angry, but Long Xiang's expression was very relaxed. He thought that General Long had the style of a general.
"Yunqi, let me go."
"General Long, I'll call."
"I'll go, too."
Long Xiang held the spear and made a gesture of stopping everyone's voice. Then he used his left hand to signal Xu Ding to withdraw, but he urged the horse to meet him.
Looking at Lei Xu, who was familiar and unfamiliar to the opposite side, Long Xiang held Ma'an and asked coldly: "General Lei is fine, don't you know if I, Long Xiang, are qualified?"
"Longxiang, is he really Longxiang?"
Zhang Duo looked at it and confirmed to Lei Xu.
With the affirmative look, Zhang Duoxu asked and answered: "It turns out that this guy is so young. How can such a reckless man defeat Zheng Bao and Sun Ce? Could it be that he is really a dragon and descendant? No, Hefei should have mainly relied on Xu Chu before."
Lei Xu ignored Zhang Duo, but held a gun and bowed: "We were under Yuan Shu before, but we didn't have the chance to meet each other. Today we met, we are indeed a talented person. Who would have thought that the nameless Long Quhou would make a name for himself after leaving Shouchun? I'm really admiring."
"Stop."
Long Xiang interrupted Lei Xu and asked in a deep voice: "Let's reminisce about the past later. Since General Lei went out of Shouchun with me, why did he lead troops to attack today?"
Lei Xu's eyelids moved and replied calmly: "This year, the entire Huainan has a severe drought. My brother behind me is hungry. I heard that General Long is farming in Hefei. Can I borrow 20,000 hu of military rations for emergency treatment for the sake of my previous companions?"
"Twenty thousand hu?"
"Are you too many? Ten thousand five are OK"
Long Xiang shook his head gently: "It's not impossible to borrow food, it's just."
"But how?"
Lei Xu was a little expectant, thinking that if Long Xiong knew the current affairs, he might not have to fight today.
But Long Xiang's next words directly cut off Lei Xu's expectations.
"My grain in Hefei only raises people from Hefei. If General Lei wants to eat it, he will lead his troops to invest."
"General Long is joking with me?"
Lei Xu frowned and showed an unhappy expression. Long Xiang snorted coldly and responded: "You joked first."
Thinking of delaying time, Lei Xu suppressed his anger and began to compliment: "General Long is really good at joking, but unfortunately General Qiao didn't find you a talent, otherwise he wouldn't have died in a foreign land."
Long Xiang was about to answer when he suddenly heard a whistle.
Turning his head and glimpsed that the small flag in Liu Ye's hand was shaking, which meant that Zhang Fei had arrived at the attack position. Just when Long Xiang ordered the war to begin on the front, he inserted into the enemy formation from the flank.
Long Xiang turned his head and stared at Lei Xu, his tone was very playful: "Lei Xu, it seems that we have no friendship? Are you deliberately raising and greetings just now delaying the time to form a formation?"
"Hmph, how is that possible."
When Lei Xu saw that the plan was revealed, he felt guilty and immediately denied it.
"Tell you a secret, I was actually delaying the time just now, hahaha."
Longxiong's laughter made Lei Xu and Zhang Duo's scalp numb. After the laughter, he suddenly heard Longxiong shouting four words.
"The whole army attacked."
Longxiong's order had just been issued, and the left and right city defense camps were pressed away like bulldozers, and the formation did not change at all during the movement.
Long Xiang suddenly attacked, Lei Xu and Zhang Duo were not ready at all, and hurriedly asked the front army to block the attack, while the two were protected by their own soldiers and retreated.
The two sides fought each other in close combat, and the sound of killing was shocking for a moment.
While Zhang Duo retreated, he looked for his own school in the middle and panic and reported to him: "General Zhang, a cavalry broke into our main formation. The soldiers had not completed the formation. Now the main formation is even more chaotic. You should make an idea."
"cavalry?"
Zhang Duo's eyes lit up: "How many cavalry can there be in Hefei? Since Longxiang wants to send me war horses, we will naturally be disrespectful and let people surround the cavalry and kill people and seize the horses."
"Although there are only fifty or sixty horses, the brothers cannot stop them at all. The leader will claim to be himself."
Seeing the school stuttering, Zhang Duoji was impatient: "When is it? What did he call himself?"
"He called himself Xu Chu"
"Xu Chu must be a fake name. Xu Chu is now guarding the city by Junqiu and waits for me to come forward to capture this person alive."
"Be careful, General."
"Noisy!"
Zhang Duo shrank in front of Lei Xu because Lei Xu's soldiers were in the front and he wanted to create an impression that he was not as good as Lei Xu.
At this time, our formation was disturbed, and Zhang Duo had to go back to control the situation, so he showed abnormal decisiveness.
