Chapter 527: Sneak Attack at Sea

The sea breeze is gentle, and the water is not rippling.

Under the clear sky, hundreds of warships are speeding north with the wind.

At the front of the deck, Zhang Liao stood with his sword in his hand, his eyes staring ahead, and from time to time he glanced at the coastline to the west, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

Since Yan Liangwen Chou and other famous generals in Hebei returned to Shun, Su Zhe's fierce generals have exploded, and he, who was once the first cavalry general of the Soviet Army, has become a lot more gloomy at this moment.

Even, in this Northern Expedition to Youzhou, Su Zhe did not take him to the front line, but only ordered him to train heavy cavalry in his rear.

Zhang Liao naturally did not dare to disobey the order of the Duke of Chu, but he had a meritorious heart in his heart and was unwilling to settle for the rear.

He didn't expect that Su Zhe unexpectedly handed over the first merit of capturing Youzhou to him.

The more than 100 warships were loaded with 3,000 elite heavy armored iron cavalry of the Soviet army.

These heavy cavalry were all selected from the best cavalry in the Soviet army, and the selected war horses were also the strongest horses.

As for the armor and weapons, they are all carefully crafted, and the men and horses are all covered in heavy armor, which can be said to be armed to the teeth.

Although the number of such a heavily armored iron cavalry was only 3,000, it was enough to withstand 100,000 male soldiers.

And now, Su Zhe handed over this most expensive and powerful weapon to him, and asked him to complete a task that seemed to be a heavenly cloth.

"Duke Chu, I, Zhang Liao, will never live up to your trust, you just wait for my good news......"

Zhang Liao clenched his fists and swore secretly.

"General Zhang, what do you want?"

Wen Chou's voice sounded beside him, interrupting Zhang Liao's thoughts.

Zhang Liao came back to his senses and said with a faint smile: "I'm wondering, we have been floating at sea for more than ten days, when will we be able to reach our destination." ”

"In my estimation, it should be either today or tomorrow, soon." Wen Chou's eyes turned to the west.

The words fell, and suddenly, his eyes moved, as if he had noticed something unusual.

A few seconds later, after careful identification, Wen Chou's face gradually swelled with excitement, and he shouted: "It's here, we've arrived, Quancheng Port has arrived!" ”

Zhang Liao's expression was shocked, and he looked in the direction of the coast in a hurry, and vaguely saw that there were many ships gathered along the coast, which seemed to indeed look like a harbor.

Zhang Liao's face gradually swelled with excited ecstasy.

He hurried up to the second deck in a few steps, and looked from a high distance to see the harbor more clearly.

"Quancheng Harbor has arrived, order all ships to change course immediately, and kill me ashore!"

Zhang Liao's face was furious, and he yelled excitedly.

On the warships, the Soviet soldiers who had been adrift for a long time, as soon as they heard that Quancheng had arrived, they were all in high spirits, and they picked up their weapons one after another, and their blood was burning wildly, waiting for a big kill.

The fleet diverted to the west and galloped towards the harbor.

Soon, the whole port was in full view, only to see the ships hurrying up anchor and fleeing, and the sound of gongs and warnings could be faintly heard in the distance, showing that the enemy was taken by surprise.

In the blink of an eye, the fleet rushed into the harbor and slaughtered the almost unsuspecting shore.

Zhang Liao turned over his horse, his sword in his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to Quancheng Port, capture Jicheng, and take Cao Cao's nest." ”

That's right, Zhang Liao is going to serve Cao Cao's nest.

The core of Youzhou lies in its state governance of Jicheng, and Quancheng and Jicheng belong to Guangyang County, located in the southeast of Jicheng, bordering the Bohai Sea.

Su Zhe's task to Zhang Liao and Wen Chou was to carry heavy cavalry, bypass the Yijing defense line from the sea, land from Quancheng, and take Jicheng directly.

Cao Cao put most of the main force on the Yijing defense line, the rear must be empty, Zhang Liao's 3,000 heavy armor troops are small, but they are enough to turn Cao Cao's rear upside down.

Once Jicheng is in danger, not only will Yi Jing not be able to hold it, but Cao Cao's road back to Liaodong may also be cut off, and there is a danger that the whole army will be annihilated.

Jicheng is the city that Cao Cao must save, and he will definitely send elite cavalry to deal with Zhang Liao's cavalry.

This was Pang Tong's strategy, forcing Cao Cao to send the main cavalry to fight a decisive battle, and then use heavy armor and iron cavalry to destroy Cao Cao's cavalry.

The warship entered the port, Zhang Liao and Wen Chou commanded the cavalry, like a beast ship killed from the ship, and rushed towards the panicked enemy army.

After a slaughter, less than a few hundred enemy troops were killed, and the Soviets took the harbor without much effort.

After the successful landing, Zhang Liao ordered to search the port, and after replenishing the grain and grass on the spot, the three thousand iron horsemen immediately set off and went straight to Jicheng in the northwest direction.

……

On the north bank of Yishui, Cao's army camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the aroma of wine is overflowing, and the aroma of meat is permeating.

Cao Cao had just set up a small banquet and had a high party with his advisers and generals to celebrate Xiahou Yuan's defeat of Su Zhe's smuggling.

This is the fifth time in a month that he has thwarted Su Zhe's smuggling for the fifth time in a row.

Although Xiahou Yuan only killed and wounded less than 500 Soviet troops, Cao Cao was still very happy and personally ordered this banquet to be set up to celebrate Xiahou Yuan's achievements.

At the banquet, the generals of Cao Ying were in a good mood, pouring wine one after another, laughing and laughing.

Cao Cao also poured more than a dozen glasses of wine in a row, and he didn't feel slightly drunk.

"According to this situation, Su Zhe will not last long, he will have to withdraw his troops and return south, and when the time comes, the lord's army will take advantage of the situation to cover up and seize Jizhou in one go."

Xiahou Yuan was slightly drunk and proud, and couldn't help but let out wild words.

The eldest son, Cao Ang, said even more proudly: "Don't say that it is to capture Hebei, my son thinks that this battle of Yijing is the time when the Su thieves turn from prosperity to decline, and my father can not only seize Jizhou, but also kill the Yellow River in one go and return the Central Plains!" ”

In the big tent, the generals were full of pride, and they all shouted to capture the Central Plains, as if they had forgotten the painful memories that Su Zhe had caused them back then.

Cao Cao was also drunk, and raised his wine glass: "This glass of wine, to my Cao family's dead sons, to those generals who were killed by Su Zhe, after he recaptures the Central Plains, he will take the head of the Su thief and sacrifice your spirit in the sky!" ”

The generals got up one after another, holding their wine glasses high, to pay tribute to Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other colleagues who died under Su Zhe's hands one by one.

The atmosphere in the big tent reached its climax.

Dian Wei even shouted: "Lord, the Su thief is so vulnerable, let's just kill him across the river, and the iron horse overturned him!" ”

Dian Wei was carried away by the small victory in front of him, but Guo Jia kept his feet awake and coughed and reminded: "After all, the Su thief is the head of the Nine Wonders, and he must not be underestimated, and he must not underestimate the enemy because of a few small victories, otherwise he will pay the price." ”

Cao Cao also calmed down his agitated mood a little, nodded and said: "Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, we can't underestimate that Su thief, he still wants me to fight with him, I am not as good as he wants, so I will spend it with him." ”

"Newspaper-Jicheng Emergency-"

A hurried cry interrupted the crowd's drinking, and a scout rushed in and broke into the tent.

"My lord, Xiahou Yuan sent an urgent report from the general, a strange army of Su thieves landed in Quancheng from the sea and is rushing towards my Jicheng."

Clang!

Cao Cao had just raised the wine glass to his lips, and he fell to the ground with his hand.
