Chapter 589: Let's Go First

It is said that Zhao Yun has no doubts about the appointment of the two generals Ban and Wang Ping, and the two generals also know everything about Cao Jun's situation. Yu Ban and Wang Ping were both very familiar with Cao Cao, and judged that although Cao Cao was still confronting Xi Zhicai and Huang Zhong in Jiangxia on the surface, he would actually lead the army to attack back and vowed to take Heqi City.

In this way, Zhao Yun's defending troops would not only face the more than 200,000 Cao troops attacking Lujiang, but also the anger of Cao Cao's personal attack, as well as the large forces of Xu Chu and Xiahoudun around him.

Cao Jun's biggest problem is the problem of grain and grass. Sure enough, Cao Mengde left Li Dian to guard the Macheng passage, Xiahou Yuan to guard the Lu'an passage, and led Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun, Cao Xiu and others to personally attack back, intending to capture Hefei City, which was underdefinite, in one fell swoop. Xi Zhicai's troops were choked by Li Dian in the Macheng passage, unable to pursue Cao Cao at the end, and could only harass and fight on a small scale, and focused the operation on Huang Zu's Qiyue City.

Taking advantage of the emptiness of Yuecheng, Huang Zu's son Huang Jie had already secretly surrendered to Gan Ning, and with the cooperation of Ling Tong's Jiangdong Army, Huang Zhong and Xi Zhi were able to take Qiyue City in one fell swoop. Huang Zu resolutely refused to surrender his talents, but Huang Zhu had no choice but to put his father under house arrest at home, and officially ordered the entire jurisdiction and the troops under Huang Zu's jurisdiction to be officially incorporated into the Qinglong Army.

At this point, Huang Zu, who had occupied Jiangxia for many years, was finally defeated by the Qinglong Army, and the Qinglong Army continued to enter Qiyue City. Sun Ce saw the success of the Qinglong Army, his heart was like eating a sour grape, but he was helpless, and the serious injury on his arm had not healed, although he left some troops on duty in Lushan City, and returned to Lujiang by boat. In Lujiang, Zhou Yu also informed Sun Ce that only by exchanging the entire territory of Jiangxia would the Qinglong Army consider returning the city to Jiangdong. The angry Sun Ce slapped the table and scolded, almost bursting with arrow sores, but the siege of Heqi was not solved, but he didn't dare to scold Zhuge Liang and Lu Su in person, so he could only urge Zhou Yu to send troops to Heqi, and several attacks were intercepted by Xu Huang's rear team.

The situation has developed to this point, entering a very delicate moment, Hefei outside the city of heavy troops gathered, the smoke of war is about to break out. Zhuge Liang saw that Xi Zhicai quickly took Jiangxia, and ordered Xi Zhicai and Huang Zhong to attack in an all-round way, smashing and breaking through Li Dian's troops, so that Cao Cao felt the pressure behind him and could not besiege Hehuai with all his strength.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce also understood that the battle situation had reached the most critical moment, and they also began to assemble all the field troops, including Ling Cao, Cheng Pu, Ding Feng, Dong Xi, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong, Jiang Qin, Chen Wu, etc., as well as Sun Jian's clan Sun He, Sun Jian's nephew Xu Kun and other commanders, all began to assemble in the north of the Lujiang River.

For the Cao army, which was extremely short of food, the more troops, the faster the army food was consumed, and if it could not quickly take Heqi, it was only necessary to withdraw the army back to Xuzhou as soon as possible. If you have to make enough preparations to go to Jiangdong, I don't know what year and month. Although Cao Cao was unwilling, he naturally did not fail to consider the worst-case scenario, and the horses and messengers traveled back and forth between the Jianghuai and many important towns to bring the news of the preparation for the withdrawal

The generals of the Cao army in the rear made preparations for the reception of sufficient grain and grass.

The whole army fought a decisive battle, but although the troops of Xi Zhicai and Zhou Yu were assembled, Li Dian and Xu Huang took advantage of the terrain and had already set up an impregnable camp, and it was not an overnight achievement to break through. Heqi is a lonely city at the moment, and it can only be defended by the city until the day when Cao's army has no food and collapses.

Cao Cao's army had already passed Lu'an, and all the villages and towns along the way were looted, and even the rations of the common people were used as military rations. The common people could not find a way to live, so they had to fight back, and Cao Jun killed countless people along the way. Along the way, blood flowed like a river, and Cao Cao, with twelve points of anger, vowed to slaughter Heqi City again.

Cao Cao had vaguely heard the news of Cao Ang's capture, but the details were not very clear, only that Zhao Yun did not kill the killer, and it was estimated that he wanted to be a hostage. Therefore, Cao Mengde had already issued an order that the first one to climb the head of Heqi City would reward the descendants of Wanhu Hou with ten thousand gold, and those who saved their son Cao Ang would directly become the Taishou of a city.

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, although Cao Jun can only eat half full, but the morale is still high. It was the pioneer general Le Jin who took the lead in the war, using improvised ladders and siege equipment to try to attack the West Gate several times, but they were all repelled by the well-prepared soldiers and civilians in the city.

Le Jin, the word Wenqian, is a native of Yangping County. Although Le Jin is short in stature, he bravely crowned the three armies, and was famous for his courage and heroism, and from Cao Cao's southern expedition to the north, he made countless military exploits, because of his brave combat, he always rushed to the front and won the reputation of the first general. , in the official history, from the attack on Yuan Shao in Guandu, fought bravely, and beheaded Yuan Shao's general Chun Yuqiong. He also attacked Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang in Liyang, and beheaded his general Yan Jing. Soon, Le Jin didn't hit the Yellow Turban, Yongnu, and Guan Cheng, all of which were broken. From Pingjingzhou, stay in Xiangyang. After Liu Bei entered Shu, Le Jin rejected Guan Yu in Qingni, repelled Guan Yu and Sufi, subdued the barbarians in the valleys of the counties of Nanjun, and broke Liu Bei's Linfang Chang and Jingyang Chang. Later, Sun Quan was levied from Cao Cao and entered the festival on a false basis. Cao Cao returned from Hefei, leaving Lejin with Zhang Liao and Li Diantun in Hefei. Later, Yile Jin had military merits and moved to the right general. He died in the twenty-third year of Jian'an (218 A.D.), and was called Weihou. Later generations called him Zhang Liao, Yu Ban, Zhang He, and Xu Huang as Cao Wei's "five good generals".

At this moment, the diminutive Le Jin was riding on his tall Western Regions horse, brandishing his saber and directing the follow-up troops to replace the troops that had attacked the city in the previous time. Looking at the past from the position of Lejin, on the tall Hefei city wall, behind each battlement stood the Qinglong Army, casting round after round of feather arrows, harvesting the lives of many of his subordinates.

Le Jin gritted his teeth, thrust the long knife into the ground, pulled out his portable saber, bit a short knife in his mouth, jumped off the horse and snatched a wooden shield from the soldier who had just retreated, and personally began to charge towards Heqi City. The guards next to them were all startled, but they had already learned the courage of Le Jin to take the lead, and hurriedly raised their round shields and followed Le Jin's side to escort them.

The cold arrow swished past Le Jin, and Le Jin rushed forward regardless of it, and the wooden shield was already full of feather arrows. The moat is full of earth-filled earth-carts, Lejin Yun jumped up with light power, and with a light touch on the earth-wheeled cart in the middle of the river, he had already crossed the moat. After crossing the river, the figure did not stop, and then climbed a cloud ladder that had just been erected, and rubbed and dotted three times, and the figure was like a flag flower cannon shooting towards the city, showing excellent light skills.

Le Jin's martial arts, by no means a waste of fame, a light skill is even more perfect, many times flew to the city to fight to the death with the enemy, covering the robe Ze Dengcheng battle, and finally achieved the reputation of the first. This time, Heqi City must be resolved quickly, and Lejin can only strive to move forward and use his housekeeping skills.

Le Jin connected the dots at his feet, his figure had already crossed the border of the battlement, and he was about to climb to the top of the city, the young Qinglong Army behind the battlement was obviously still a rookie, he didn't expect Le to come in so quickly, his eyes were full of panic, and he forgot to release the arrow. The two looked at each other, Le Jin smiled evilly, his left hand had already removed the dagger in his mouth, and without hesitation, he turned his hand, and the dagger came out of his hand, flying like lightning to the throat of the Qinglong Army on the opposite side.

The Green Dragon Army was completely stunned, only to feel a tingling pain in the throat, the fierce wind came out of the throat in the blink of an eye, and the blood had not yet spurted out, and the Green Dragon Army had fallen to the ground softly. Le Jin jumped up, and Cao Jun behind him saw that General Le had opened a gap, and he had climbed up along several ladders, and Le Jin was fighting with a group of Qinglong troops, desperately protecting several ladders.

Seeing that Cao's troops were about to enter the city, suddenly the saber in Le Jin's hand collided with a long sword, and it was immediately broken into two. Le Jin was frightened in his heart, and instinctively jumped onto the battlements with a backflip, narrowly dodging a sharp sword.

Le Jin was surprised in his heart, knowing that he had met a master, he hurriedly fixed his eyes to see the opponent clearly, and there was a flash of white light in front of him, and the extremely sharp long sword had already stabbed at the door, Le Jin only felt a flower in front of him, and the strong wind had hit his face, and he shouted, "Not good!" Instinct was another backflip, but behind it was an endless void, and Le Jin fell straight down from the city like a heavy lead lump, and fell into the moat with a pop, like the failure of a 10-meter jumper to fall into the water, splashing a large sparkling splash.
