Chapter 40: Unsurpassed

Cao Cao personally led the troops to supervise the battle, attacked the city, and carried earth and stones with the soldiers, and built a ladder to break the city.

The commander of the guard, Li Feng, shouted, "Release the arrow!" Smash the stones! Don't ask them to come up! ”

Arrows rained down on the city, rocks rolled, and the soldiers who rushed forward were all killed, and countless people were killed and wounded. Cao Cao commanded to move on, and the soldiers stepped on the corpses of their companions, built on them, and buried them.

The offensive on the city was still fierce and showed no signs of abating, and two generals saw that the situation was too bad before the incoming troops rushed and retreated alone. Seeing this, Cao Cao beheaded the two in public to show the public. "Offenders retreat! Just like that! ”

Everyone has no way to retreat, and they fight to the death. The army rushed away, built ladders, built ladders, and over time, they made a way paved with corpses.

Cao Cao's generals saw that there was an opportunity, and Le Jin shouted: "Follow me!" ”

Rushing up towards that road, Li Feng saw that Cao Jun was coming, and he was afraid, "Don't let them come up!" The soldiers shot arrows at Le Jin and the other soldiers.

Lejin is indomitable, what is death? Ignorance! Even dodging everyone's attacks, he was hit by a few arrows in his body, ignored them, and finally jumped onto the wall.

At the nearest few people in this city, he shot several times and stabbed them to death. When the soldiers in the city saw it, they slashed it with a blade, and after going to the city, Le Jin, like a tiger in the mountains, no one could stop it, and they were all killed. The soldiers followed, and the enemy army was in chaos.

Li Feng looked at it, more and more positions, there were enemy troops rushing up, "The city is broken, the city is broken......" Li Feng muttered. And he fled.

Le Jin saw that the enemy was about to escape, and immediately rushed with a gun, and the soldiers who came to intercept him were taken by Le Jin with a shot and thrown down the city, "Don't stop!" Where is Li Feng running! ”

Le Jin went useless, rushed behind Li Feng, Li Feng cut off with a big knife for self-defense, Le Jin dodged sideways, stabbed the opponent in the chest with a shot, lifted it up, and threw it into the city, Yuan Bing was the master of the army, everyone lost their command, and the chaos was scattered, and the Cao army continued to attack, cut the enemy and kill the enemy, broke the lock and opened the city, and the army poured in.

Cao's army killed the generals and surrendered their troops, burned the palace, the palace, and all the things that were against the ban, and Shouchun City was captured.

Shi Yue Xiahou and others rushed to the road to Xudu and marched overnight, just to intercept Yuan's army before the other party arrived in Xudu.

Everyone went to a cliff and mountain wall, Guo Jia looked at the surrounding terrain, and said to Xiahoudun and Shi Yueyan: "This place is the road that must pass through Xudu, Yuan Jun has not yet arrived here, the mountains here are dangerous and easy to ambush, not easy to defend, we will ambush and the mountains, if the enemy army comes, attack it." ”

Xiahoudun: "Okay! I'm waiting here to lay in ambush. ”

The person who led the army of Yuan this time was the general of the former Jizhou herd, Zhang He. Zhang He led his troops to attack Xudu.

"This attack on Xu Du and saving Yuan Shu will be invincible no matter what. If Cao Jun does not return, Xu Du has attacked, and if Cao Jun returns, Yuan Shu has saved him. The general next to him said to the leader Zhang He.

After Zhang He came to vote for Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was reused for him, and Zhang He has made many expeditions for the Yuan family in recent years and made great contributions. In this campaign, Yuan Shao listened to the words of the strategist, and still let Zhang He lead the army forward, and the strategist said, "General Zhang He is wise and brave, and he will be able to respond to all kinds of contingencies." ”

Zhang He led the army in the dangerous place of the mountain, "Stop!" He shouted that the army stopped, Zhang He saw that the mountain was dangerous, and it was easy to ambush and sneak attack, and if he was attacked here, he would suffer heavy losses.

The general on the side asked, "Why did the general stop?" ”

"If the enemy sets up an ambush here, we will be in danger! Passing the order down, there may be an ambush here, changing the marching formation, and facilitating the evacuation. Zhang He said.

Zhang He's soldiers and horses continued to advance, and everyone was vigilant, and suddenly a group of enemies appeared in the grass in the mountains, and everyone shot arrows away.

"There is an ambush! Remove! Zhang He shouted.

The people had already prepared, so they responded very quickly, and the soldiers retreated away from here. There weren't too many casualties.

Xiahou was shocked when he saw that the ambush did not defeat the enemy army, "How can this be? Have we seen through the ambush? ”

Guo Jia asked: "Who is the general who is leading the army, this person seems to have been on guard for a long time, so I can't wait for the attack." ”

Shi Yue saw the leader of the army, it was Zhang He, it was him, Zhang He was brave and strategic, not an ordinary general, with a keen sense of smell, "I know that person, that person is Zhang He, originally a Jizhou Mu's subordinate, although this person is not very famous, but the ability to lead the army far exceeds all the generals in the world, and he will definitely be the best general in the world in the future." ”

Guo Jia's eyes squinted at Shi Yue, "General Pan Feng has such a high opinion of this person, it seems that it is difficult to deal with. ”

Shi Yueyou said: "We don't have many troops, the enemy is coming, we can't fight it head-on, especially Zhang He's leader, it's best not to let him know the troops we bring, if he can't attack it, soon the news of Yuan Shu's defeat will come, and he will definitely withdraw his army and retreat." At this time, the news of Cao Cao's capture of Shouchun had not yet come, but Shi Yue thought that it should have been captured.

Guo Jiayan: "What the general said is reasonable, and we will not fight them head-on." ”

Zhang He led the soldiers to retreat and set up camp first. asked the spies to find out, how many people came from the Cao army, whether the Cao army arrived, and there was no news from Shouchun's side at this time, I don't know if the other party won or retreated.

The spies reported that the number of enemy troops was unknown, but it was certainly not all of Cao's army, because it was only a part of it.

Zhang He said to the generals, "This time because it is only a part of the Cao army, they learned that we are coming to attack Xudu, first send a part to intercept, I estimate that the number of soldiers is not more than 50,000, and the group fight with them head-on, the other party will definitely not be able to fight, defeated and retreated." Now we have to fight quickly, and we can't take it off for too long! ”

Zhang He sent someone to come to make an appointment, and Shi Yue and others learned, "How is this?" ”

Guo Jiayan: "It seems that the enemy general knows that we are waiting for soldiers and horses, and wants to fight and retreat in one go, but we can't fight, and we will be defeated in battle." "If our army does not fight, the enemy army will attack, so we can only withdraw!"

Shi Yue was confused, "Withdraw?" Okay, I'd like to, too, but aren't we going to intercept them?

Xiahoudun was puzzled: "Aren't we going to stop Yuan's attack?" How do you want to withdraw? ”

Guo Jia said: "Our army can't be ambushed, the enemy has already been on guard, in the attack, it is also difficult, frontal battle, but also the battle, the enemy is strong, do not withdraw, is not to lose the army, the battle is dead." ”

Shi Yue said happily: "Feng Xiao is right, let's wait or withdraw, staying here will be useless." "It's best not to fight! At this time, Shouchun should have been broken, the Cao army was short of food, and it was even more difficult to enter the army, and he knew that the Yuan army was coming, and he would rush back, and when everyone arrived, they were fighting.

Guo Jia said: "The general seems to have understood my plan. ”

Yes? What's the scheme? What did you say? Shi Yue was confused. I know what a ghost!

Xiahoudun saw that both of them were smiling, "What is the plan of the military advisor, Yuan Rang doesn't know, please say it!" ”

Shi Yuexin is also shouting, that's it! Come on, I don't understand either.
