Wei Xiaobao's Three Kingdoms Adventure

Chapter 134 Encountering a Female General on the Battlefield

Wei Xiaobao walked forward with his head lowered. Suddenly, an arrow shot into the dirt beneath his feet. Immediately, a voice came from the arrow tower: "Stop and check!"

After a while, a soldier ran out from behind the barricades.

The soldier, holding a long spear, stopped them and pointed at the wine vat behind Zhao Yun and Wei Xiaobao and asked, "What are you doing? What's in it?"

Wei Xiaobao quickly turned around, opened the lid of the wine jar, scooped a spoonful of wine, handed it to the soldier, and said, "We are from Xinye and are delivering wine to Wancheng. This cart is full of wine."

The soldier swallowed his saliva, but did not take the wine spoon. Instead, he walked to the back of the convoy, saying as he walked, "Open each one and check it."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiaobao followed the soldiers and opened the lids of dozens of wine jars one by one.

After a thorough inspection, the soldier returned to the barricades and shouted to the people on the watchtower, "It's Xinye who's delivering wine to Wancheng!"

A man who looked like an officer on the watchtower replied, "Do you have a pass?"

The soldier turned around and asked Wei Xiaobao, "Do you have a travel permit?"

Wei Xiaobao quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Sir, where can we get a travel permit in this chaotic situation? It's not easy for us to run a small business. We might as well buy some grain and make some wine with the little money we have."

As he said this, Wei Xiaobao stuffed a hundred coins that he had already prepared into the soldier's hand.

The soldier quickly put the money into his pocket, turned around and shouted to the officer, "We don't have a pass, but we've checked, and it's all liquor."

The officer replied, "Let it go. Perhaps General Cao bought it to reward his brothers. It's so cold, we can't stand it without some wine."

The soldier quickly took the wine spoon from Wei Xiaobao's hand, drank all the wine in it in one gulp, then scooped another spoonful of wine from the wine jar and poured it into his mouth, and then let Wei Xiaobao and Zhao Yun go.

In fact, how could Zhang Fei's army have so much wine! Except for the one that Wei Xiaobao scooped a spoonful from, these wine jars had long been modified and divided into two layers. The top was filled with wine, and the bottom was filled with kerosene.

After Zhao Yun and Wei Xiaobao led the team past the last arrow tower, they deliberately walked through potholes and took the opportunity to smash the wine jars on the first cart.

The aroma of wine blew with the wind, attracting all the soldiers who were not sitting in the arrow tower to look over here.

Zhao Yun deliberately cursed, "How much grain did this jar of wine cost? Can you afford to pay for it if you break it?"

Wei Xiaobao also pretended to be unwilling to give in, and the two of them actually started to fight.

Others also pretended to come and mediate.

Wei Xiaobao and Zhao Yun fought while running around the carts, and with the help of others, they soon smashed all the wine jars on more than ten carts.

The aroma of wine covered up the smell of kerosene, and the greedy soldiers on the arrow tower said it was a pity, as no one could discover the trick.

The kerosene flowed down the hillside and soon soaked the wooden bases of several arrow towers on the west side.

Zhao Yun was quick-witted and took out the bow and arrow hidden under the car, hid in the crowd and lit the gunpowder tied to the arrow.

Suddenly, Zhao Yun emerged from the crowd, drew his bow and shot a rocket.

The sparks instantly ignited the kerosene after landing.

The flames burned along the kerosene on the ground all the way to the arrow tower.

Before the soldiers on the arrow tower could react, Wei Xiaobao and Zhao Yun had already led their men away.

The soldiers on the arrow tower rushed to put out the fire, but it was too urgent and the situation was so fierce!
Zhang Fei, who was in the woods, saw the flames ahead and led his men out to attack. Over ten miles away, the cavalry rushed to the arrow tower in less than a cup of tea, taking advantage of the fire to sprint and kill, and soon after, they had taken down all the arrow towers.

Cao Ren discovered that something had happened at the arrow tower in the city and hurriedly led his troops to rescue.

Zhao Yun and Wei Xiaobao sneaked into the city while Cao Ren was out, climbed up the city gate tower, killed the gate officer, and took control of the gate drawbridge mechanism.

When Cao Ren arrived at the battlefield, he found Zhang Fei standing in front of the battle line. He realized that he had fallen into a trap and was about to retreat back to the city. However, when he turned around, he found that the city gate had been closed, so he hurriedly led his troops to flee.

Zhang Xiu didn't know what was happening at this time. When he led his troops to the west gate, Zhang Fei had already led his troops into the city.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zhang Xiu was about to flee the city. In a panic, he fell off his horse and was trampled in the belly by the horse's hooves, dying on the spot.

After Jueying and Dian Wei died in Wancheng, Wei Xiaobao vowed to kill Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu and Tang Zhou to avenge his brothers and horses. Now that he saw Zhang Xiu's tragic death, he felt a little relieved.

After capturing Wancheng, Zhao Yun sent a letter of divorce to Xuchang, describing in detail the situation of Cao's army's arrow tower formation and the whole process of breaking through the arrow tower formation.

In his reply, Zhuge Liang praised Zhao Yun's strategy and mentioned the ingenuity of the arrow tower formation. He also suggested that Zhang Fei and others follow the method of Cao's army and set up arrow tower formations and chevaux-de-frise formations on the west side of Wancheng to defend against the Northwest Allied Forces.

The defensive formation was only half set up when the Northwest Allied Forces attacked.

Zhao Yun led the archers to the arrow tower to suppress the enemy's surprise attack, while Zhang Fei and Wei Xiaobao rushed to set up the remaining formations.

The two sides fought for half a month and suffered losses on both sides. Fortunately, the formation had been set up and temporarily blocked the offensive of the Northwest Allied Forces.

When Cao Ren was stationed in Wancheng, he could still hope for the Northwestern Allied Forces, but Zhang Fei and the other two were isolated and helpless at this time, not knowing when Zhuge Liang would send troops.

The food in Xuchang City had already been moved away by Cao Cao, and the food and grass from Yuzhou had not been delivered yet. Zhuge Liang could only tell Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to hold on to Wancheng and not to go out until the food and grass arrived in Xuchang.

Fortunately, Cao Ren had left behind provisions when he fled, so Wancheng was not short of food. However, with 100,000 enemy troops stationed outside the city, it was only a matter of time before Wancheng was captured.

Wei Xiaobao accompanied Zhao Yun in supervising the battle on the arrow tower every day, and he would always see a young general in red armor coming to challenge him.

At first, Wei Xiaobao didn't take it seriously, but as time went by, Wei Xiaobao discovered that it was actually a female general.

One day, the female general came to challenge him again: "You are a man of honor, but you stay in the arrow tower all day. Why don't you go home and hug your children?"

Zhao Yun was furious when he heard this and was about to go downstairs to fight.

Wei Xiaobao hurriedly stopped him: "Brother, what's the point of winning a woman? What if we get ambushed again? Wouldn't that further diminish our prestige?"

Zhao Yun didn't want to fight with a woman in the first place, but after hearing what Wei Xiaobao said, he calmed down and nodded.

Wei Xiaobao continued, "This woman comes here to scold me every day. Sooner or later, she will demoralize me. I will go and teach her a lesson. You stay in the watchtower to protect me. If the other side has any conspiracy, you can order the arrows to be shot. Anyway, I have the precious clothes on me."

Zhao Yun thought Wei Xiaobao's method was good, so he asked him to go downstairs to fight.

When Wei Xiaobao rode up to the female general, he found that she was fair-skinned and beautiful, with a pair of big eyes that were even more captivating.

Wei Xiaobao chuckled inwardly, "I have so many wives, but none of them can fight in the battlefield. If I marry her, it will be like having another taste."

When the female general saw Wei Xiaobao coming but not fighting, and looking at her with a lewd look on her face, she thrust her spear at him without saying a word!
