Chapter 624: Raid on Yecheng

Cao Cao really guessed wrong this time, and it was not Ye Chen's intention that he guessed wrong, but the route.

They drew the approximate route of Ye Chen's walk on the map, which deviated a lot, Ye Chen and the others did not enter Yanzhou from Qingzhou, but deliberately went around half of Qingzhou before entering Yanzhou.

In these places, Cao Cao didn't have many eyeliners, so they didn't find out until Ye Chen and they entered Yanzhou and then left.

"If Ye Chen wants to attack our Yanzhou, this time it will be miserable." Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, like Ye Chen's attack on the city of Yanzhou, it would take them at least two or three days to react, which was very dangerous.

Cao Cao's side was in chaos, so he hurriedly adjusted the arrangement to prevent Ye Chen from suddenly going south again, and at the same time, Qingzhou was also in chaos.

Xu Huang led people to run around all the time, turning Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of troops around, and Xu Huang was not satisfied with this, he attacked Yuan Jun at every opportunity, making Yuan Jun suffer very heavy losses.

"If I don't play with you, the lord should have achieved his goal." After Xu Huang broke through the Yuan army's formation again, he led the army to the south, and he decided not to continue playing hide and seek with the Yuan family.

Because according to Ye Chen's plan, they should have reached their goal at this time, and Yuan Jun in Qingzhou would have lost their effect after a few days of getting the news.

In fact, the most important thing is that Xu Huang is too tired, and he took Yuan Jun to Qingzhou for more than half a month, and it was okay at first, because only Yan Liang and Wen Chou were chasing, and they could easily get rid of it, and they had a lot of time to rest, but then it didn't work, and more and more Yuan Jun joined the encirclement and suppression, so that Xu Huang also kept running.

In this way, Xu Huang could not hold on, and decided to get rid of Yuan Shao's army for the time being, lead them south, and keep them away from Jizhou.

Jizhou, in Yuan Shao's military tent.

"What? No trace of Ye Chen was found in the army in Liaodong? "For half a month, although there was no good news, there was no surprise that was too far beyond him, but at this time, Yuan Shao received news that there was no Ye Chen and several other generals in the Liaodong army in Qingzhou.

This made him unacceptable, he arranged such a big battle in order to get rid of Ye Chen, if he was allowed to escape at this time, then what was he going to do by mobilizing hundreds of thousands of troops? Was it just to wipe out a few thousand troops in Liaodong?

"Report, general, there is a cable newspaper from the direction of Youzhou." Yuan Shao was having a meeting with his subordinate Wen Wu when another report came.

"Come on in." Guo Tu opened the military tent and let the soldiers who reported the news in.

"Report to the lord, a large number of Liaodong troops have been found in the direction of Youzhou, estimated to be about 30,000." The soldier reported.

"It seems that Yan Liang and Wen Chou's judgment is correct, this Ye Chen sneaked to the border of Youzhou with a few major generals, and then let the army from Liaodong come to meet him." Hearing the information, Yuan Shao immediately thought of the battle report that Yan Liang and Wen Chou gave him.

"Order, strictly inspect the border between Jizhou and Youzhou, and if you find a suspicious person, you will be detained first." Yuan Shao said.

"Lord, this matter is really strange, it is not only Ye Chen and his generals who have disappeared, but also an army of about six thousand to eight thousand, this is not an ordinary army, but an army with very strong combat power, lord, you can't arrange it like this."

As soon as Yuan Shao issued the order, this frustration jumped out and said, now that more information has been sent back, and let the frustration feel that something is wrong, and quickly persuade.

"Don't you understand such a simple question? No, what should I do if Ye Chen runs away, if the prediction is not bad, this Ye Chen is in Jizhou, and now that the Liaodong army has come to respond, Ye Chen may escape at any time. Yuan Shao said angrily.

What Yuan Shao expected was indeed not bad, they were indeed in Jizhou, but not on the border of Jiyou as he expected, but outside Yecheng.

In the middle of the night, Ye Chen and the others had already arrived a few miles away from Yecheng.

"Lord, there are only thousands of people guarding this Ye City, and we can fight a battle." Outside Yecheng, Guan Yu said.

Ye Chen nodded and said: "It's really not difficult to defeat Yecheng, but we haven't been exposed yet, there is no need to attack hard, let people disguise, some of them will sneak into the city tomorrow morning, and some of them will go outside the city, and then they should join forces inside and outside and take the city gate."

The chance of winning a sneak attack overnight is also very high, but Ye Chen doesn't want to do that, the best thing is to be able to sneak attack successfully, and then enter the city smoothly.

Early the next morning, more than 200 guards disguised themselves as ordinary people, blended into the city one after another, and then hid around the city gate.

The whole process took more than an hour, and Zhao Yun personally led the team.

"Okay, Hansheng, you quickly bring three hundred soldiers over in disguise, carry weapons, and cooperate with the soldiers inside the city gate to seize the city gate." After waiting for the previous soldiers to enter, Ye Chen said to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong took the soldiers with weapons, and went to the city gate with some people, and after arriving at the city gate, they did not enter the city, but wandered at the city gate, some squatted on the ground, some pretended to rest, and some pretended to wait for people.

At first, it did not attract the attention of the officers and soldiers defending the city, but when Huang Zhong and the others passed more than 200 people, they gradually attracted the idea of the soldiers defending the city.

There were more than 200 of them, all of them strong men, and they were really conspicuous together.

"What are you doing, come here and let us search." A dozen soldiers defending the city came over under the leadership of a commander and shouted.

Huang Zhong glanced at the soldiers, then stepped closer.

"Kill."

Suddenly, Huang Zhong took out the hidden knife and killed it, and dozens of soldiers around him pounced on it.

After pounced, kill the defenders who had not yet reacted and snatch their weapons.

Huang Zhong and the others brought short blades, which made it inconvenient to kill the enemy, so they snatched the long blades.

"Not good, there are enemies."

"Close the gates."

Huang Zhong and the others began to charge, more than two hundred people were no less than the soldiers guarding the city gate, and they were a surprise attack, which quickly made Yuan's army scramble.

The soldiers defending the city were attracted by Huang Zhong and them, so they ignored the city gates.

"Kill."

The soldiers who had blended in earlier attacked from behind, killing more than a dozen soldiers who were closing the city gate and snatching their weapons, and then more than twenty more soldiers from the guard battalion opened the half-hidden city gate and began to flank Yuan's army on both sides.

When Huang Zhong and the others launched a sneak attack, Ye Chen, who was miles away, also launched a charge and killed the city gate.

"There is an enemy attack, go for reinforcements."

"Quick, take the gates back."

The captain defending the city also found out about the problem, but he didn't understand where this enemy came from.

This is the middle of Jizhou, and it is the city of Yecheng, how can there be enemies?

After Ye Chen and the others charged, they quickly approached the city gate, and by this time Huang Zhong had already occupied the city gate and was preparing to resist the defenders coming down the city wall.
