"Generals, Your Majesty has an order to order our army to launch an attack on Dongjun in three days."

After Xu Da finished discussing with Xun You, he immediately summoned his important generals.

After everyone heard Xu Da's words, they all smiled, and Qin Qiong took the initiative to say,

"Now the morale of the soldiers is high and the fighting spirit is high, if the morale of the soldiers goes down after a while, our army is also prepared in all aspects, and it is indeed good to start the war now."

"After the discussion with Lord Xun, I am ready to act in advance." Xu Da continued,

Xu Da's voice fell, everyone was stunned, Gao Changgong had a trace of dissatisfaction on his face, and asked Xu Da, "General Xu, what do you mean by this, do you plan to disobey His Majesty's order?" ”

"May I ask General Gao, what is the purpose of Your Majesty for letting our army raid Cao's army in three days?"

Xu Da was not annoyed by Gao Changgong's questioning, he asked softly and kindly.

"Naturally, it is for the sake of achieving results and achieving victory." Gao Changgong replied immediately.

"In this case, if our army can reduce greater casualties and obtain greater results on the premise of continuing to act in advance, why not act in advance against His Majesty's orders?"

Xu Da asked,

"This ......"

Gao Changgong was speechless for a moment,

"Yanzhou is Cao Cao's lair, the mobilization of troops and horses is faster than Yuzhou, Xuzhou, for Xu Huang, General Yue Fei, three days is nothing, but for us every day is extremely urgent, one day in advance, our army will face a lot fewer enemies, the opportunity will be greater." Xu Da said in a deep voice.

Looking at the people in front of him, Xu Da asked solemnly, "Are the generals still dissatisfied with Xu Da's arrangement?" ”

"I want to listen to the general!"

All the people answered in unison,

"Gao Su, Tai Shi Ci listens to the order!"

"The last general!"

"Order the two of you to lead an army of 30,000 to take Liaocheng, Dongwuyang, Yangping, Fagan, and Leping, and then you two cross the river to take Dong'e and march to Jiyin in the south."

"No!"

"Qin Qiong, Zhang Yu listens to orders!"

"The last general!"

"Order the two of you to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses overnight to bypass Puyang and cut off Jiyin's reinforcements to Puyang."

"No!"

"Gao pet, Zhang Liao listens to orders!"

"The last general!"

"Order the two of you and the rest of the troops and horses to attack Puyang."

"No!"

"General Xu, is there something lacking in 40,000 soldiers and horses to attack Puyang?" Gao Changgong said worriedly.

"Enough, this battle is unprepared, taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Cao army, launch an attack, Puyang's soldiers and horses are not too many, 40,000 soldiers and horses are enough, and the soldiers and horses of the two generals Qin and Zhang will definitely be able to attract the attention of the Puyang army." Xu Da said confidently.

"In addition, I heard that Cao Cao has already arrived in Jiyin, and he will come to Puyang after a while, so let's surprise him." Xu Da said with a smile.

"No!"

The entire military camp began to act closely, the sun had not yet set, Qin Qiong and Zhang Yu also set off with soldiers and horses, their camp was sixty miles away from Puyang, and it was necessary to walk at least more than a hundred miles to get around Puyang.

……

At this time, the Cao army in Puyang City did not know that the crisis was coming, and they were still arranging in an orderly manner.

Now the guard of Puyang is Luo Yanqing, there are more than 10,000 people in Puyang, and there are thousands of people in other parts of Dongjun.

If he really acted according to Liu Wei's order in three days, I am afraid that Puyang's soldiers and horses would be at least twice as many as they are now.

……

The next morning,

Gao Changgong and Tai Shici took the lead in leading the troops to leave, and soon after Xu Da also led the troops away, and the camp became empty.

Because Gao Changgong and Qin Qiong took away a batch of food, and Xu Da's plan was to take Puyang in one day, so there were less than 1,000 people left in the camp and there was no need for generals.

Moreover, the purpose of these thousand people staying is not to guard the camp but to dismantle the camp, bring grain and grass, and carry baggage, and they will also rush to Puyang in the near future.

……

"General, there is a situation!"

At noon, the drowsy Qin Qiong met the soldiers who hurried over.

"Is there an enemy army coming?"

Qin Qiong instantly came to her senses and asked nervously.

"The spies reported that there was a troop of soldiers and horses that were passing in the direction of General Zhang, who was already engaged with the enemy." The soldier hurriedly replied.

Zhang Yu and Qin Qiong led 10,000 soldiers and horses, arranged on both sides of the Yellow River, echoing each other.

"General, a troop of soldiers and horses has appeared twenty miles away." Before Qin Qiong could calm down and think, another soldier came running.

"How many soldiers and horses are there?"

Qin Qiong hurriedly asked,

"About 5,000 soldiers!"

"How many enemies are there fighting with General Zhang?" Qin Qiong asked the first soldier again.

"At least three thousand."

"Three thousand, five thousand, nearly 10,000 people came to Puyang in one day, fortunately, General Xu let us act in advance, otherwise it would be a trouble to attack Puyang again after three days."

Qin Qiong couldn't help but sigh,

"Let the soldiers get ready, and leave 5,000 people here for General Ben, this is the first battle of our army!"

Qin Qiong said excitedly,

"No!"

……

At the same time, Xu Da had already led a large army to surround Puyang.

"General, all the soldiers have arrived, ready to attack the city at any time!"

"Beat the drums, siege the city!"

Xu Da immediately ordered!

"No!"

"Knock knock, knock knock......"

"Siege!"

In an instant, boulders and crossbow arrows flew towards the Puyang city wall.

"Kill, kill!"

Thousands of troops and horses marched towards Puyang City.

"Resist, hold on!"

The sudden arrival of the army made Luo Yanqing panic, and he desperately commanded the soldiers who defended the city to defend the city.

The army outside the city had arrived half an hour ago, and the soldiers defending the city had discovered it early, but it was still very sudden for the soldiers defending the city.

Although Luo Yanqing mobilized all the soldiers, those thunder stones, rolling wood, arrows, these things were not able to mobilize enough, even now there are still many soldiers transporting these things.

However, the sudden siege of the city could only allow Luo Yanqing to reduce the number of people transported and devote himself to defending the city.

The two sides attacked and defended, and a tragic battle began, Xu Da's army continued to have catapults throwing boulders at Puyang City, and strong crossbows constantly fired crossbow arrows at Puyang City.

The catapults in Liu Wei's army are not the ones in the Jingzhou army, there are hundreds of catapults in Xu Da's army alone, and this kind of catapult is equipped with wheels, which can move the position.

The number of strong crossbows is even larger, because of Meng Tian's army, the entire army under Liu Wei attaches great importance to bows and crossbows, and their bows and crossbows are just like the Qin State led the six countries at the beginning, leading other forces, strong bows and crossbows, with a longer range and more strength.

Only half an hour passed, and some of Xu Da's soldiers rushed to the city,

There was no way to do less than half an hour, the thunder stones and arrows stored on the Cao army in the city were used up, and the Cao army in the city relied on flesh and blood to resist the boulders and crossbow arrows to resist the impact of the siege army.

"General, withdraw, if you continue to fight, not only Puyang will not be able to keep it. Our army is coming to an end. ”

On the tower of the city, there was a military general of Cao Jun who persuaded Luo Yanqing to retreat.

"Get out, dare to withdraw again, General Ben will kill you." Luo Yanqing kicked it away.

"The soldiers must hold on, reinforcements will come soon." Luo Yanqing shouted to the soldiers defending the city.

At this time, Luo Yanqing was already covered in blood, except for a small part of him, the others were either splashed on him by the soldiers around him, or the enemies he killed were splashed on him.

"General! The two terracotta warriors and horses supporting were intercepted, and I am afraid they will not be able to come. ”

It didn't take long for Luo Yanqing to get bad news again.

"General, withdraw!"

The military general, who had just been kicked away by Luo Yanqing, asked Luo Yanqing to retreat again.

"You!"

As soon as Luo Yanqing grabbed the general, he was about to make a move, but before he could do it, an arrow flew from outside the city, hitting the head of the general, and without Luo Yanqing doing it, Xu Da's people solved the trouble for Luo Yanqing.

Blood splashed on Luo Yanqing's face, and the general was killed instantly, and he couldn't die anymore.

"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw!"

Luo Yanqing finally gave up resistance and shouted to retreat.
