Chapter 599: The Situation in Yanzhou

"The general said, the first person to climb to the top of the city will have a bounty of one hundred taels, and the official will be promoted by one level!"

"Kill an officer of the enemy army, a reward of 1,000 taels, and the officer will be promoted to the second level!"

"Take down Tai Shici's head, a bounty of 10,000 taels, and an official promotion of three levels!"

Stimulated by the promotion of official wealth, the soldiers of Goguryeo, Nanwofu, Haoqian and other countries all showed strong combat effectiveness, shouting and attacking Benxi City. [Net ((The boulders of the stone thrower took turns to smash towards the head of the city and the city, and the soldiers pushing the rushing cart also used their strength to eat, and the soldiers who climbed up to the head of the city from the siege ladder became as agile as monkeys, dodging left and right, showing tenacious perseverance.

It seems that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of Goguryeo and other countries is too strong, and the soldiers of Youzhou began to retreat one after another, and more and more gaps appeared in the head of Benxi City.

"Haha, it seems that Benxi City is going to be unable to hold on!"

Walton saw that his side had a clear advantage, and immediately burst out laughing.

However, only Walton was so happy with several main generals, and there was not much joy on the faces of the others. It's no wonder that they have more than twice the strength of Youzhou, and they have siege equipment, so it is not much difficult to attack the city. However, in such a situation, they even attacked for three days, the first two days can be said to have a loophole, and today, from the morning to the present, the Youzhou soldiers have held out for a day under their fierce offensive, and the city can be said to be full of corpses of soldiers from several countries. In this case, it is necessary to use the offensive of official positions and money to motivate the soldiers in order to suppress the Youzhou soldiers, which shows how strong the combat effectiveness of the Youzhou soldiers is.

"Rush to the city, kill!"

"The promotion is at this time, the warriors of the frustration, rush!"

"The warriors of Buyeo, the honor belongs to us, kill!"

"The warriors of the Rainbow..."

Finally, the soldiers of Youzhou could not stop the fierce offensive of the enemy, and there were more and more gaps in the city, which could not be saved.

"Boom!"

At the city gate, the soldiers pushing the rushing cart finally smashed the gate open. Although the city gate was blocked by sand and stones, these obstacles could not be delayed much in the face of the fierce enemy army at this moment, but with a stick of incense, the obstacle at the city gate was emptied. The battle for Benxi City seems to have come to an end.

Gao Jianchang, Jian Qiutai, Walton and other generals of several countries, under the escort of their own soldiers, rushed into Benxi City and occupied the Benxi City Mansion. Next, it is time to wait for the soldiers to report on the results of this battle.

"General Qiyu, our army has killed dozens of enemy troops, and now the city has been completely controlled by our army!"

It didn't take long for soldiers to report the news to several commanders. However, the results did not make the faces of several commanders happy, on the contrary, they did not seem to be very satisfied with such a result.

"What's the matter, why did you kill dozens of enemy soldiers?" Gao Jianchang frowned and asked sharply.

"General Qiyu, the enemy army has withdrawn from the city. General Gao Jianren thought that the enemy might be deceitful and did not dare to pursue the enemy, so he asked his subordinates to come to report and ask the general to decide. ”

Gao Jianren is also a general of the Goguryeo clan, but the relationship is more estranged, so he can only be a deputy general, and Gao Jianchang is a deputy general. Now that the Youzhou soldiers have withdrawn from the city, whether to continue the pursuit is not child's play, and Gao Jianren did not dare to make a decision, so he had to let the soldiers under his command ask Gao Jianchang for advice.

"Humph!"

Before Gao Jianchang could speak, Walton had already stood up with a cold snort and said: "You Goguryeo soldiers are greedy for life and afraid of death, and now that Tai Shici has been beaten away by us, why don't you dare to pursue it, and you still have to ask General Gao? A bunch of useless things, let our frustrated warriors teach the fledgling ones a lesson. ”

"General Walton, don't be careless!"

Jian Qiutai saw that Walton was about to lead his troops to pursue the defeated army in Youzhou, and hurriedly stood up to dissuade him, "General Walton, it's late at night, the enemy army has retreated, and no one knows if there is still an ambush, if the enemy army still has an ambush, won't General Walton die in vain." Therefore, General Walton does not need to be in a hurry, now that he has taken Benxi City, with Benxi City as his station, Youzhou can slowly plan it. ”

Of course, if Walton was to be sent to death, Jian Qiutai would naturally not care. And one less force divides up the benefits, and they are also happy to see it happen.

However, after these days of siege warfare, Jian Qiutai also saw the strong combat effectiveness of the Youzhou soldiers. Although Walton is a simple-minded and four-limbed fellow, however, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of South Walton is indeed not bad, and among the soldiers of their countries, they dare not say that they are the strongest, at least the second, and no one will have doubts. Of course, this is also because several generals think that the soldiers of their own country are the strongest, and the next is the soldiers of Nanwofu, otherwise, the combat effectiveness of Nanwofu soldiers is definitely the strongest among several countries.

Now that he knows the strength of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in Youzhou, Jian Qiutai naturally does not want the soldiers of Nanwo to be sent to death. Don't talk about him, Yehena Ratonna and Kim Taenon, who have always had opinions about Walton, did not continue to sneer, and both had the intention of dissuading.

"My warrior is not a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death..."

"Boom!"

"Ah, help!"

However, before Walton could finish his sentence, he was drowned out by a jumble of voices, which seemed to come from the rest of the palace, and the generals looked at each other, not knowing what was happening.

"What's going on?" Gao Jianchang asked the Goguryeo soldiers standing in front of him with a blushing face.

"General, the enemy army has set a trap in the city, and the soldiers have stepped on the trap without noticing, and now there are hundreds of casualties, and there are fires in many places in the city, which are now being extinguished. ”

Gao Jianchang had a calm face and shouted: "What a group of useless waste, now that they are in the enemy's city, there can be no negligence." Send orders to go down and inspect everything in the city, food, water, etc., and do not fall for the enemy's tricks. ”

"No!"

After the debriefing soldiers left, the group looked at Walton again. I saw that Walton sat in his original position as if he had nothing to do, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was telling a few people, he said: "Well, what Prince Jian Qiutai said is reasonable, if it is late today, I don't know if the enemy is in ambush, and it really shouldn't be pursued." Wait until tomorrow dawn to show my frustrated warriors. ”

What happened just now made Walton understand that although Tai Shici had been defeated, the danger was not gone. If there is a trap like the one just now, even a small life will be lost. Walton wanted to let others know the strength of their soldiers, but he didn't want to risk his own life. It just so happened that following the persuasion of Jian Qiutai just now, he gave himself the steps down.

In normal times, Yehena Ratonna and Kim Taenong will definitely have to sneer. Now, knowing that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in Youzhou is not bad, and he doesn't want to miss a coolie like Nan Wofu, he didn't say anything. The generals took counsel and departed.

However, it was said that Yuan Chang personally conquered Goguryeo, and in the Central Plains, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses had also returned to Yanzhou.

Now most of the cities in Yanzhou have been owned by Lu Bu, and only the two cities of Juancheng and Dong'e are still under the control of Xun Yu and Cheng Yu. Originally, Fan County was also under control, however, because Lü Bu returned Jin Yun's family members to the Fan County Order, Jin Yun felt Lü Bu's kindness, so he joined Lü Bu. Fan County is in the middle of Juancheng and Dong'e Ercheng, separating Juancheng and Dong'e Ercheng, and it is impossible to watch and help each other. However, what puzzled Xun Yu and Cheng Yu was that after Lu Bu won Fan County, he did not continue to attack Juancheng and Dong'e, and they were at peace with each other until Cao Cao's reinforcements returned to Yanzhou.

Hearing Lu Bu's actions, Cao Cao smiled disdainfully: "Lu Bu is just a brave and unscrupulous horseman, don't be afraid!"

Of course, saying that, in fact, Cao Cao didn't understand Lu Bu's thoughts in his heart. After all, if you get Fan County, it is easy to take the two cities of Juancheng and Dong'e, but Lu Bu's move made Cao Cao scratch his head. It's just that Cao Cao has always liked to cheat, even in the face of his subordinates, Cao Cao will not show his thoughts.

After the strategists and generals under his command dispersed, Cao Cao left Xi Zhicai alone and asked: "Military advisor, from your point of view, what does Lu Bu want?"

In fact, Cao Cao was also very puzzled in his heart. Without Fan County in hand, Juancheng and Dong'e would not be able to become horns at all, and no matter how stupid Lu Bu was, he would not be unable to take Juancheng and Dong'e for so long. Moreover, Cao Cao also knew that there was a trap camp under Lu Bu, and he was invincible in attacking cities and conquering cities, and he was extremely strong. Juancheng and Dong'e are not fortified cities, if they are attacked, it will not take long to take them, Cao Cao does not believe that Lü Bu will not be able to take Juancheng and Dong'e.

Xi Zhicai frowned and pondered for a moment, and according to Lu Bu's actions, he finally came to a conclusion and said: "Lord, according to what Lu Bu did, it seems that he has no intention of occupying Yanzhou. Other than that, the subordinates couldn't think of any other reason. ”

In fact, Cao Cao also had such thoughts. It's just that this idea is too ridiculous, Cao Cao can't believe it. If there is chaos today, who doesn't want to sit on one place, claim the king according to the land, and then plot the world when the time is ripe. No matter how Lu Bu looks at it, it doesn't look like a good stubble, and Cao Cao certainly doesn't think that Lu Bu has no intention of plotting Yanzhou. The two discussed for a long time, but they couldn't get any results, so they both dispersed to rest.

On the other side, Lu Bu learned that Cao Cao had come to his aid, so he decided to go to war with Cao Cao. Lu Bu knew that Cao Cao had a fierce general, and he hadn't done it for several days, and he was already hungry and thirsty, so he wanted to take this opportunity to get over his addiction.

Now that Chen Gong has gone to Youzhou, no one will dissuade Lu Bu from making any decisions.

Lü Bu asked the deputy generals Xue Lan and Li Feng to guard Puyang, and led his elite troops to Changyi City to garrison, waiting for Cao Cao's army. Cao Cao's army marched to the dangerous road of Mount Tai, and his advisers persuaded him: "This is a dangerous place, I am afraid that Lu Bu may have an ambush." When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed and said: "Lu Bu has a brave and unscrupulous person, let Xue Lan guard Puyang, and go to Changyi, what is the ambush here? ”

However, it was said that Cao Cao's soldiers were close to Changyi and lived at the foot of the village. The next day, the crowd was introduced, and Chen soldiers were in the field. Cao immediately stood under the banner of the door and watched Lu Bubing arrive from afar. At the circle of the formation, Lu Bu took the lead, and one was Zhang Liao on both sides, and the other was Gao Shun. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun each introduced three strong generals: Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng. Lu Bu's army was 50,000, and the drums shook loudly.

Cao Cao patted his horse and stepped out of the ranks, pointing his finger at Lu Bu and shouting: "I have no enmity with you, how can I take Wuzhou County?"

Lu Bu chuckled lightly and said disdainfully: "Han family city, everyone has a share, and they are compatible?"

asked Gao Shun to go out of the horse to fight, and Cao Jun was happy to go in and out to greet him. Two horses intersect and two guns are raised. The battle is more than 30 rounds, and there is no difference between victory and defeat. Xiahoudun slapped his horse and went out to help, and Zhang Liao intercepted and killed Lu Bu on the battlefield. Lu Bu had long wanted to go into battle in person, but seeing the fierce battle on the battlefield at this moment, he no longer hesitated, and rushed out of the battle. Now that Lu Bu's strength has greatly improved, it is difficult for the top generals to resist in front of him, and he seems to understand the gap between him and these generals now, and Lu Bu is greatly disappointed. Of course, because of Yuan Chang's arrangement, Lu Bu did not make a killer, and defeated Xiahoudun and Le Jin in a few rounds, Lu Bu covered up, and Cao's army was defeated and retreated thirty or forty miles.

Cao Cao lost for a while and returned to the village to discuss with the generals. Xi Zhicai pondered for a moment and said: "My subordinates went up the mountain to watch today, and in the west of Changyi, there is a village in Lu Bu, and there are not many troops. Tonight, he will say that our army is defeated, and he will not prepare, but he can lead his troops to attack it; if he wins the village, the army will be afraid: this is the best policy. "Cao followed his words, took Cao Hong, Li Dian, Mao Jue, Lu Qian, Xu Chu, and Xiahou Yuan, selected 20,000 horses, and entered the path overnight.

However, it was said that Lu Bu was **** in the village, and a spy reported Cao Cao's movements, so Lu Bu dialed Gao Shun, Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng to lead troops to guard the West Village.

On the other side, Cao Cao led his army to Xizhai at dusk and broke into it from all sides. The soldiers of the village could not resist and scattered in all directions, and Cao Cao seized the village. will and the fourth watch, Gao Shunfang led the army to the army, and the killing will come in. Cao Cao led the army to greet him, just in time for Gao Shun, the three armies were fighting, the general and Tianming, the drums in the west were shaken, and the people reported that Lu Bu had brought the rescue army to come. Abandon the village and leave. Behind him, Gao Shun, Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng rushed in, and Lu Bu personally led the army to come. Yu Ban and Lejin couldn't stop fighting against Lu Bu. Look north. A Biao army came out behind the mountain, it was Zhang Liao. It is not good to make Lu Qian and Cao Hong fight. Look west and go. Suddenly, there was another shout, and a Biao army arrived: Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, and Song Xian stopped walking. The generals fought to the death, and they should be the first to rush into battle.

Cao Cao was in danger several times, and he panicked, but he encountered an army, and when he looked closely, it was Xiahoudun who led the army to the rescue. The two sides fought in a scuffle, and it suddenly rained heavily, and they had to collect their troops and return to the camp. (To be continued.) )8
