Chapter 272: Wancheng changed hands several times and then returned to Cao
The letter sent by Le took two days and finally arrived in Wancheng.
After that, Le's messenger quickly met with Yuan Shu and reported to him about the loss of Biyang.
Yuan Shu was still immersed in the excitement of capturing Wancheng, and when he learned that Biyang was stolen by the Jingzhou army, he was as cold as being poured a basin of cold water in the summer, because Biyang County was his grain throat, and as soon as the Jingzhou army occupied it like this, the 100,000 troops who entered Nanyang were going to drink the northwest wind.
Immediately after, Yuan Shu immediately summoned everyone under his command and said: "Everyone, I received a bad news just now, Biyang County, where Lei Ji was stationed, was stolen by Liu Biao's Jingzhou army, and our army's grain route was completely cut off. ”
Suddenly hearing this news, Lu Bu, Wei Yue, Han Xian, Qiao Rui and Yang Hong were all quite surprised.
Just when everyone was surprised, Yang Hong led the first and said: "Lord, Biyang County is our lifeline, if we can't recapture Biyang County immediately, the 100,000 troops of Nanyang County will be hungry to fight, and I also ask the Lord Gongma to lead the army back to help." ”
"Yang Hong, how many soldiers and horses do you think I should use to help?"
Hearing this, Yang Hong didn't know that Yuan Shu couldn't let go of Wancheng.
In a hurry, Yang Hong replied loudly: "Lord! Today's Wancheng is no longer important, if Biyang can't take it back, the 100,000 army will be wiped out! Wancheng can still regroup if it is lost, if Biyang is completely lost, we will have no power to turn over! ”
After listening to Yang Hong's words, Yuan Shu finally gave up taking care of Biyang and Wancheng.
Immediately, Yuan Shu immediately ordered the whole army to prepare for evacuation.
When Yue Xi, who was ambushed in the city, learned that Yuan Shu's army had assembled, he was very puzzled and thought, 'What does this Yuan Shu want to do?' ’
Because Yue Xi didn't know that something had happened to Biyang, he couldn't guess Yuan Shu's intentions at all.
Besides, after the 28,000 people under Yuan Shu's command were assembled, Yuan Shu immediately ordered to evacuate towards the east gate.
When the Cao army, who was ambushed in the city, saw that Yuan's army had begun to evacuate Wancheng, the Cao army quickly rushed to report to Yue Xi.
When Yue Xi learned that Yuan Shu had led the army to evacuate, he felt very bad, because as soon as the Yuan army withdrew, Wancheng would be an empty city.
Immediately, Yue Xi immediately sent someone to inform Cao Cao, who was stationed at Sunset.
After Yuan's army withdrew from the city, Wang Kai soon received news from Jinyiwei.
When Wang Kai learned that Wancheng was already an empty city, he immediately led his army into Wancheng.
When Yue Xi in the city learned that Wang Kai's army had entered Wancheng very quickly, he immediately ordered the five hundred elite Cao troops under his command to hide again.
A few hours later, Cao Cao, who was stationed at sunset, also learned the news of Yuan's army's withdrawal from Wancheng.
When he suddenly learned the news, Cao Cao was also shocked, because he didn't expect Yuan Shu to withdraw from Wancheng.
Immediately after, Cao Cao immediately led his army to Wancheng.
When Cao's army approached the north gate of Wancheng, Wang Kai's army had already been stationed in Wancheng.
When Cao Cao saw that the tower of Wancheng had been replaced with a banner with the word king, he suddenly thought to himself: "Yuxiao should not have left yet, and now he will be able to recapture Wancheng by attacking the city." ’
Thinking of this, Cao Cao immediately gave the order to attack the city.
As Cao Cao's military order was handed down, Cao's soldiers immediately launched an attack on Wancheng.
At this time, when Wang Kai, who had already Chen soldiers at the north gate, saw Cao Cao leading the army to attack, he immediately commanded the soldiers to meet the battle.
After two hours of fierce fighting between the two armies, it was also time to fight.
Seeing that the sky was dark, Yue Xi immediately summoned the five hundred elites under his command to move closer to the north gate.
Because Wang Kaijun's attention was focused on facing Cao Jun at this time, Yuexi's five hundred elites were not discovered when they approached the north gate.
When Yuexi's five hundred elites approached the city gate, Wang Kaijun's soldiers finally discovered them.
At this time, one of the military marquis immediately asked, "Who are you?" ”
After hearing this, Yue Xi directly brandished Fang Tian's painting halberd and rushed forward, and the five hundred elite Cao Jun behind him also followed.
Seeing that Yue Xi and the others took out their weapons, the military marquis didn't know that this was an enemy army.
Immediately, Wang Kai's sergeant at the city gate immediately met the Yue Xi Division.
As the sound of the battle at the city gate sounded, Wang Kai, who was commanding the battle on the city tower, was also puzzled.
Although he was puzzled, Wang Kai quickly ordered Wei Chigong to go down to the city tower to check.
When Wei Chigong arrived at the city, Yue Xi had already led his troops to the city gate, because there was no general guarding the city gate, and Wang Kaijun's soldiers were difficult to resist in the face of Yue Xi.
When Wei Chigong saw that the enemy army at the city gate was about to be killed, he suddenly shouted: "The thief will dare? ”
As soon as the words fell, Wei Chigong immediately rushed up.
When the elite of the Cao army saw Wei Chi Gong attacking, they immediately fought up, but Wei Chi Gong's bamboo steel whip was not so easy to resist, and Cao Jun's soldiers were not Wei Chi Gong's enemies at all.
When Yue Xi, who had already reached the city gate, saw Wei Chi Gong attacking, he immediately ordered Cao Sergeant to open the city gate, and he himself rushed towards Wei Chi Gong.
As Yue Xi caught up with Wei Chi Gong, Yu Chi Gong could no longer go further.
Taking advantage of this time, some of the Cao soldiers were desperately blocking it, and the other part of the Cao soldiers were struggling to open the city gate.
When Wang Kai, who was on the city tower, suddenly heard the sound of the city gate opening, he was also surprised and thought: 'What is the situation?' Could it be that there are Cao Jun's spies in the city? ’
At this time, when Wei Chigong saw that the city gate was being opened by Sergeant Cao, he immediately shouted: "Hugh wants to open the city!" ”
Saying that, Yu Chigong wanted to break through Yue Xi's block, but Yue Xi's martial arts were not weak, and Yu Chi Gong lost the opportunity to block the city gate in a hurry.
After a while, the north gate of Wancheng was opened by the Cao army led by Yue Xi.
Seeing this, Cao Cao, who was outside the city, immediately ordered Xu Chu to lead the army to charge.
Besides, when Wang Kai saw this scene, his mind obviously couldn't turn around, because such a change was too dramatic.
Seeing that the Cao army was attacking in an all-round way, Wang Kai quickly ordered the whole army to start retreating after a short period of distraction, after all, there were many people in the Cao army, even if he didn't retreat, he might not be able to hold Wancheng, and his core purpose now was to relocate the people of Hanzhong, if the casualties were too great, he would not be able to cover for the immigration plan.
As Wang Kai gave the order to withdraw the troops, Wei Chigong was very unwilling to force Yue Xi to retreat.
At this time, when Cao Cao saw that Wang Kai's army began to retreat, he immediately gave the order to attack, because he did not want to miss such a rare opportunity.
For a time, Wang Kaijun was covered up and killed by Cao Jun.
When Wang Kai withdrew from Wancheng, he lost nearly 2,000 people in the first battle, plus the casualties of the previous attack on Wancheng, Wang Kai's 20,000 army finally left only about 15,000 people, but it did not include the elite Flying Bear Army and the personal guards.
Besides, after Cao Cao successfully drove Wang Kai out of Wancheng again, he did not lead the army to pursue again, because Yuan Shu's withdrawal from Wancheng was too weird, and he was afraid that this was Yuan Shu's trick, because Yuan Shu's previous performance made Cao Cao mistakenly think that Yuan Shu's subordinates also had masters to help.
At the same time, after Wang Kai withdrew from Wancheng, he directly ordered the withdrawal to Liguo, because the current Wancheng is really an ominous place, coupled with the approach of the immigration plan, Wang Kai decided to focus on stability.
