Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "For today's plan, only by plotting against Han Sui, or by making a plan, destroying the Xiliang army in Chang'an, and recovering Chang'an, can we rush to the aid of Tongguan." In fact, Yuan Xi's plan is nothing more than that, he doesn't just want to capture Tongguan and Hongnong, or even want to defeat Hangu Pass and Luoyang, force us to come to the rescue, and then ambush in the middle of the road. Such clumsy methods can be seen through by ordinary generals. ”

"Tongguan, Hongnong, Luoyang, why not give him these places? Compared with the Prime Minister's Central Plains, it is only a small part of the territory of Sili. The prime minister should concentrate superior forces and annihilate the Xiliang army. If Ma Teng and Han Sui can be eliminated, even if the prime minister loses Luoyang, it will be worth it. Because Xiliang has a small population and cannot withstand a protracted battle, once defeated, it is impossible to recruit hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen. At that time, the prime minister will not only be able to recover the lost territory, but also capture Xiliang. ”

"All in all, the prime minister shouldn't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, he should think about how to eliminate the Xiliang army."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Cao Cao nodded with a smile and said, "Feng Xiao's words are broken, which is very much in line with my heart." However, it was a little difficult to plot against Han Sui... You just said that you will plan and destroy the Xiliang Army in Chang'an, I don't know what you mean? ”

Guo Jia said: "Prime Minister." Yuan Xi brought Ma Chao and Yan Liang's 100,000 troops to Tongguan, so Chang'an's troops are not as good as before, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The prime minister can attack Chang'an on a large scale, and Ma Teng has no plan and will definitely fight. As long as our army is defeated, Yuan Xi and Ma Chao will be alone... Of course, before that, the minister still suggested that he should first plan against Han Sui. ”

"Hmm."

Cao Cao's heart was a little messy.

He was worried that the counterattack on Chang'an would not succeed, and he would be attacked by Yuan Xi, Ma Teng, and Han Sui. At that time, Tongguan can't be saved, and Wuguan is also dangerous, what should I do?

"Prime Minister. The minister thought that Fengxiao's strategy was very dangerous. After all, Ma Teng and Han Sui have 150,000 Xiliang troops. And our army is less than 100,000, and it has just suffered a setback, and its combat strength has declined, and I am afraid that it is not the opponent of the Xiliang Army. The minister suggested that the garrison should be stationed first, and then the troops should be transferred from the Central Plains. Cheng Yu said.

"Bong Hyo..."

"Prime Minister, don't hesitate!" Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "The minister has written a letter to persuade Han Sui to surrender, and it is expected that within two days, there will be a reply." Regardless of whether Han Suitong agrees or not, we will attack Chang'an, and only by destroying Chang'an's Xiliang army. It's a battle that has the upper hand. ”

"Okay."

Cao Cao said with a heart: "Since I have been filial piety out of the mountain, all the strategies I have come up with have helped me win a big victory." I will not hesitate! ”

"Prime Minister Xie."

Guo Jia really breathed a sigh of relief.

In his opinion, this is the only chance to win, and if it is missed, the entire division will fall.

Vertical day.

Four watches at night.

Yuan Xi took Ma Chao and Yan Liang to attack Tongguan again.

This time it was a siege at night, and I wanted to succeed in a sneak attack, so I didn't carry large siege equipment, no crossbows, no catapults, no siege towers, and not even many soldiers.

Three thousand elite foot soldiers, carrying a hundred ladders, under the leadership of Ma Chao and Yan Liang, rushed to the city.

Yuan Xi also led all the giant beasts and prepared to fight to the death.

Oh!

Roar...

Heehi...

Behemoths assisted in the siege.

Their shouts were so loud that they suddenly woke up the soldiers stationed at the gates.

Yuan Xi was also taken aback, and said in his heart: "Call a fart, it's a sneak attack, just lean over slowly, you have to wake up the enemy, aren't you asking for trouble." ”

The 3,000 people led by Yan Liang and Ma Chao have not yet approached the moat.

Yuan Xi rode four disagreements and flew over the sky and shouted: "The whole army quickly rushes and kills, climb the city tower!" ”

"Kill..." The army charged at full speed.

Prior to this, Yuan Xi had already ridden four times to inspect the city defense of Tongguan. Cao Xiu was very well guarded, put all the fire oil on the city pass, ready to counterattack at any time, and there were many soldiers stationed there. But the soldiers were on guard for days and were exhausted. Especially when it came to the fourth watch, I fell asleep inadvertently. If you charge with all your might, you may not be able to conquer the city.

Hiss...

The Titan Python was the fastest, swept its tail, rolled around the roof of the city, and circled up.

"Ahh As soon as the defenders woke up, they saw the python in front of them.

Even though they had already seen the python, they were still shocked when they woke up.

"Fight, fight..." The guard Yan Zhi drank sharply.

Hiss!

The python's head snapped down, and the snake licked its face.

"Ahh Yan Zhi also fled in fright. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the python opened its mouth to bite it, and then shook it hard, throwing him off the tower.

At this time, the besieging soldiers had already set up their positions. The ladder was set up on the tower, and the soldiers climbed quickly. Yan Liang and Ma Chao each occupied a ladder and became the first people to climb the city tower.

Whoosh...

Yuan Xi's four inconsistencies hovered over the city pass, and Yuan Xi held a bow in his hand and kept releasing arrows to the bottom. Although he couldn't shoot many enemy soldiers, he did his best.

"Kill..." After Yan Liang and Ma Chao went to the city, they held the entrance of the cloud ladder, and all the enemy soldiers who rushed over were hacked to death by them. After them, countless siege soldiers climbed up.

Yuan Xi shouted: "Don't fall in love with the war, go and open the city gate." ”

"Yes."

Ma Chao led a team of soldiers into the city in person, and then turned to the city gate.

Yan Liang fought on the city pass, trying to ensure that the thousands of people who were attacking the city could smoothly climb the city tower.

Titicaca...

Half a quarter of an hour later, Ma Chao arrived at the city gate and opened the city gate.

"Soldiers, the city pass has been broken, rush with me!" Pang De led 100,000 iron horsemen, stood by outside the city, and when he saw the city gate wide open, he rushed to kill excitedly. The Iron Cavalry crossed the moat and stormed into the city.

.............

The war went very well.

Cao Xiu was still asleep in the city guard's mansion, and Pang De's iron horse had already rushed to his door.

The soldiers who stood guard for him went in to report it, and Cao Xiu quickly got up and fled. He didn't even have time to put on his clothes and pants, he was very embarrassed, but he still didn't run away, and was caught up by Pound.

"Hahaha..."

Pang De rode to the back gate of the City Guard Mansion and intercepted Cao Xiu: "General Cao, why are you panicking?" ”

"You, you..." Cao Xiu retreated again and again.

"Grab it!"

As soon as Pang De gave an order, several soldiers stepped forward and tied up Cao Xiu.

After capturing Cao Xiu, tens of thousands of Cao troops in the city had already woken up. Under the command of their respective generals, they rose up to meet the battle. But in the end, it was not the opponent of the Xiliang army, and tens of thousands of Cao troops were defeated.

Ma Chao and Yan Liang also made a lot of gains.

Soon took control of the city and captured more than 10,000 prisoners.

"The soldiers of Tongguan City are really tenacious. Is this really a local army? It should be Cao Cao's elite, right? After the battle, Yuan Xi and the generals went to the city guard.

"What the lord said is that the last general is at war with them, and he also feels that the garrison of Tongguan really looks like Cao Cao's elite." Yan Liangdao.
