Chapter 1080: Soldiers are coming to the city
The sword flashed, but the long knife in Huang Zhong's hand appeared in front of Han Meng, at this time, the long knife in Han Meng's hand had just been raised, and he didn't expect Huang Zhong to suddenly become so powerful.
With an unrivaled momentum, the long knife directly cut Han Meng into two sections.
Han Meng's death was absolutely fatal to the Jizhou army at this time, Han Meng was not only brave, but also the main general in the army, and his death brought panic to the Jizhou army.
Huang Zhong gave an order, and the Lieyang Bow Cavalry launched an attack on the Jizhou army.
Although Han Meng's lieutenant tried his best to organize soldiers to resist the Burning Sun Archers, the panicked Jizhou Army would not be the opponent of the Burning Sun Archers, and easily tore apart the formation of the front army for the Burning Sun Archers.
Seeing that the Sun Archer was so brave, the lieutenant general led the soldiers to retreat into the city in embarrassment.
Huang Zhong secretly said that it is a pity, if the number of soldiers in the army is higher, he can directly defeat the Jizhou army and seize Chaoge, Chaoge is an ancient city, and the city is not strong compared to Zhihuai County, and it is not something that can be broken in a short time.
Hearing the news that Huang Zhong killed Han Meng, the general of the Jizhou Army, outside Chaoge City, Lu Bu was overjoyed, so that there was no main general in Chaoge City, and it was definitely a good opportunity to seize Chaoge from Yuan Shao in one fell swoop.
When LΓΌ Bu led the Bingzhou army to appear outside the Chaoge City, it caused great turmoil in the city, the main general killed the enemy, and the morale of the army was low as you can imagine.
At this time, Chaoge City is a nail placed in Hanoi by the Jizhou army, if the nail is hard enough, it may make the Bingzhou army pay some price, but now it seems that this nail plays a very little role, just a battle, so that Huang Zhong led the Lieyang Archers to frighten their fears.
After thinking about it for a long time, the adjutant general led his soldiers to open the city gate and chose to surrender.
After the army entered the city, Lu Bu relieved the generals of the Jizhou army who surrendered, and began to prepare for the attack on Jizhou.
Attacking Jizhou is not as simple as imagined, especially in Yecheng at this time, there are nearly 50,000 Jizhou troops, it can be said that the most elite forces in Jizhou at this time are all gathered in Yecheng, which is enough to reflect the status of Yecheng in Yuan Shao's heart.
If the number of Youzhou Army and Bingzhou Army is sufficient, it is completely possible to set off a bloody storm in Jizhou by virtue of the advantage of troops, just keep an eye on the soldiers and horses of Yecheng, and then send elite soldiers and fierce generals to seize the rest of Jizhou, so that Yecheng has become a lonely city, but the current situation is that the number of Youzhou Army and Bingzhou Army combined, barely equivalent to Jizhou Army.
With the same number of people, the army defending the city has an absolute advantage over the soldiers besieging the city.
After occupying Chaoge, Lu Bu ordered Xu Huang to sit in Chaoge City and provide baggage for the army.
The battle of the state greatly enhanced Xu Huang's prestige, and Xu Chu, the fierce general in the Cao army, killed Xu Huang, which made Xu Huang's name even louder in the Cao army.
20,000 Bingzhou troops appeared outside Yecheng, causing the Jizhou army in the city to shake, the shadow of the famous tree, and the proud achievements of the Bingzhou army over the years, enough to make the princes look sideways, and the Bingzhou army has just broken the princes' coalition army on the battlefield of Huguan, in the face of such an army, even though there is a strong city wall under them, the number of defenders is more than the Youzhou army and the Bingzhou army, but it does not give them enough confidence.
Many recruits of the Jizhou Army even trembled slightly when they faced the Bingzhou Army.
Seeing this situation, the generals of the Jizhou army kept scolding, and in the scolding, many soldiers eased up a little, but the eyes that looked at the Jizhou army were full of fear, even if they were soldiers who had experienced the war, they could not be an exception.
Even if the Youzhou Army is very powerful, sweeping Liaodong and Xianbei, the Jizhou Army has a psychological advantage in the face of the Youzhou Army, and the Youzhou Army led by Gongsun Zan was defeated in the hands of the Jizhou Army.
And in the face of the state army, the situation is completely different, since the Jizhou army and the state army have not occupied an absolute advantage, at the beginning, the Jizhou army attacked Huguan, failed to succeed, and later fought with Lu Bu in Youzhou, but it was defeated, the worst one was the battlefield of the gloom.
Tens of thousands of Jizhou troops were flooded by the Bingzhou Army, and there was no shortage of elites in the Jizhou Army, but these elites had fought with the Bingzhou Army, and they were afraid of the Bingzhou Army from the bottom of their hearts.
Ordering the army to set up camp, Lu Bu led a thousand soldiers to Yecheng, and Huang Zhong led a thousand Lieyang archers to follow.
After the two thousand cavalry set up a formation outside the city, Lu Buce immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Where is Yuan Shao? Come out and answer. β
As early as when the Bingzhou army arrived in Yecheng, Yuan Shao got the news and came to the city, in the face of Lu Bu's provocation, Yuan Shao naturally could not show weakness at this time, ordered the soldiers to open the city gate, and led a cadre of generals and Ju Yi's first dead soldiers and thousands of cavalry out of Yecheng.
"Fengxian, don't come unharmed." Yuan Shao's smile was a little bitter.
Lu Bu snorted coldly: "At the beginning, it was good to form an alliance with Ben Hou, and it was not easy for the people under Ben Hou Nian's rule to survive, so I agreed to Ben Chu's request, but I didn't expect Ben Chu to lead the troops to attack Huguan, such a treacherous act, everyone will be punished." β
"Fengxian, Benhou's attack on the state is on the order of the saint, if Fengxian is dissatisfied, he can raise troops to Jingzhou." Yuan Shao snorted coldly, he was equal to Lu Bu's status, but Lu Bu used this kind of questioning tone, which made him very unhappy.
"Kill people to pay for their lives, pay off debts, since the Jizhou army is attacking and merging the state, it should be expected that there will be such a day." Lu Bu said in a deep voice.
"There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Jizhou, how can they be afraid of the state army." Yuan Shao replied.
Lu Bu laughed when he heard this: "Yuan Shao, you don't want to make a big deal here, if you are not afraid of Benhou, why when there are only more than 20,000 Youzhou troops outside the city, the Jizhou army does not dare to fight, but retreats in the city." β
Yuan Shao's complexion kept changing, but he was speechless.
"Isn't there a fierce general known as the Four Pillars of Hanoi under his command? Ben Hou wanted to see it. β
Lu Bu's rampant laughter made Yuan Shao's face red, and Hebei Sitingzhu became a laughing stock at this time, Yan Liang and Wen Chou died in battle, Gao Ran was defeated in the hands of Zhang Liao, and Zhang He can be said to be defeated in the hands of Huang Zhong to a certain extent.
Although the generals in the Jizhou army turned their angry eyes on Lu Bu, no one dared to stand up and challenge Lu Bu at such a time, and Lu Bu's horror was heard of by any general who had a certain level of seniority in the Jizhou army.
And this time, when the princes' alliance attacked the state, Lu Bu left a lot of prestige among the princes and soldiers.
