Chapter 78 The Battlefield of Annihilation (10) Burning the East Wall
Liu Xiang in the city is nervously arranging, and Cao Cheng and Yan Feng outside the city are also making careful arrangements. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After Yan Feng learned of Cao Cheng's plan to transfer troops, he said to Cao Cheng: "General Cao, why did you transfer all the soldiers and horses on the road to Yi'an to besiege the city, and what if Liu Xiang broke through from there."
Cao Cheng said with a smile: "General Yan, you have also fought with Liu Xiang, you must know that this person has some ability, but there are only two ways to go in front of him at present, one is to break through and retreat to Yi'an, but the entire city is besieged by me like an iron bucket, even if he has wings, he doesn't want to fly over."
The other is to retreat to Daidi, which is indeed a good idea, and he is not a fool who will take this road, so I ambush the transferred soldiers and horses on the road that Dongyuan must take to Daidi, so that he will only have one last way left, which is to wait for the obedient to be captured."
Yan Feng squinted his eyes and said, "I hope things really develop as you think."
Cao Cheng patted Yan Feng on the shoulder and said: "I have reliable information that because of the invasion of Handan by the army of our Qin State, Li Mu decided to abandon Yi'an and Chili and flee south, so that he Liu Xiang got the news and dispelled his attempt to withdraw to Yi'an."
After saying that, Cao Cheng went out of the camp and ordered the war drummers to beat the drums and give orders, and the 60,000 army marched towards Dongyuan City.
In Dongyuan City, Liu Xiang said to Liu Xi and Lu Yi: "Take two thousand military horses, half red flags and half green flags, go to the wolf's head slope twenty miles outside Dongyuan City, and see that the Qin army is killed to the Red Flag Army walking on the left and the Qing Banner Army is walking on the right, and the Qin generals must be suspicious and dare not pursue, you two will be ambushed separately and only hope that the fire in the city will chase and kill the defeated soldiers, and then come to the river outside the city to respond."
All the generals received the task to prepare, Liu Xiang looked at the sun in the west on the city tower and said: "Cao Cheng, if you offend my Dongyuan, you and your soldiers will be reduced to ashes with this city."
Jiang Chen said: "Big brother has a good strategy, so he will definitely let that Cao Cheng know the fate of violating my Zhao Kingdom."
Liu Xiang and Jiang Chen led two thousand guards out of the city, and set up the people and horses on the hill behind the east wolf's head slope and waited for Jieyin.
……
But it was said that an hour flew by, Cao Cheng sat in the town and led 60,000 armor to kill Dongyuan City, and Yan Feng led his generals and 5,000 iron horsemen to open the way, and at this moment it seemed that the earth was trembling.
It was just past noon, and the army marched to the wolf's head slope but saw thousands of men and horses in front, Yan Feng saw these horses under different banners of cyan and red, so he urged the military horses to advance.
At this time, Liu Xi and Lu Yi divided the soldiers and horses into four teams, and the green flag and red flag were killed from the left and right.
Yan Feng reined in his horse and shouted to the soldiers: "There must be an ambush ahead, stop here now."
So Yan Feng sent one of his subordinates to tell Cao Cheng, Cao Cheng said: "This is just a suspicious soldier under Liu Xiang, in fact, there is no ambush, you can march quickly, and our army will arrive later."
Yan Feng then led his troops back to the slope before the troops entered, but when they arrived at the woods in the slope, they did not see a single person.
At this time, the sun is about to set in the sky, Yan Feng intends to move forward only to hear the big blowing on the top of the mountain, look up and see several Zhao red military flags, two iron round umbrella covers in the flags, Liu Xiang on the left and Jiang Chen on the right sit and drink, Liu Xiang looked at Yan Feng under the mountain and shouted: "If you commit my city, you will have to wait for death and have no place to be buried."

Yan Feng was furious and led the soldiers and horses up the mountain, Jiang Chen made a move, and hundreds of feather arrows on the mountain suddenly rained down, and the soldiers of Zhao, who had already prepared, knocked down the rolling wood cannon stones.
The Qin army had countless people who had fallen off their horses, and they couldn't advance at all, and after the mountain, they remembered the sound of drums and shouts, and Yan Feng was shocked and hurriedly led the troops to retreat down the mountain.
It was getting late here, Cao Cheng led the troops to the city, but found that the city gate was wide open, and no one in the city had become an empty city, Cao Cheng Lema walked around the city gate and said: "As I thought, you Liu Xiang can only go like this, our army will rest in this Dongyuan city first, and then chase and kill you tomorrow."
At this time, all the soldiers of the Qin army were tired and hungry, so they all robbed the houses to cook, and Cao Cheng had already pro-army generals and also rested in the county office.
Just after a while, the wind blew in all directions, and a lieutenant hurriedly reported: "General, fires have suddenly broken out in several places in the city."
Cao Cheng said: "What's the panic, this must be a fire accidentally missed by the sergeant making rice, don't make a fuss."
Before the words fell, several more people came to report that the fire broke out in the west, south and north, Cao Cheng hurriedly stepped on the war horse and led the soldiers to take the road out, at this time, the streets of the entire Dongyuan City had been swallowed by flames, and the sky was also illuminated and red up and down.
Cao Cheng led his soldiers and horses to find his way through the sea of fire, and when he heard that the east gate was not on fire, he led the army to flee to the east gate.
Cao Cheng had just escaped from the sea of fire, and a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from behind him, and Cao Cheng turned around to see that it was Han Chao wearing gold armor and wielding a double whip.
Han Chao stood on his horse and pointed at Cao Cheng with a long whip and said, "Why did you just want to leave after just entering the city for so long."
Cao Cheng saw that there were not many soldiers and horses he brought out, and he suddenly killed so many Zhao troops, he became nervous in his heart, and seemed a little helpless, and the general Zhang Du said: "General, go quickly, I will stop him."
Zhang Du slapped his horse and rushed forward with twenty people, while Cao Cheng led all the soldiers to find other places to break through.
Han Chao saw that Cao Cheng was about to run away, and decided to solve Zhang Du first, so he also urged the war horse to meet him with a double whip.
Zhang Du stabbed Han Chao in the face with a shot, Han Chao's body flashed on one side of the attack, and the double whip in his hand hit Zhang Du's abdomen, Zhang Du's mouth spewed out a cloud of blood mist and fell off the horse, and the Qin soldiers on both sides stabbed at Han Chao with Qi Tingge, Han Chao held the whip with one hand and waved the whip with the other, these Qin soldiers were beaten one by one, and their heads were broken and blood flowed and they couldn't move on the ground.
Zhang Du got up and leaned against a broken wall to pick up the spear and threw it at Han Chao, Han Chao whipped it down the moment the spear flew in, and then grabbed the spear in the soldier's hand and threw it to nail Zhang Du to the broken wall.
After Han Chao killed Zhang Du, he immediately led his troops to chase Cao Cheng, and the Qin army in the city was defeated, and each fled for his life, and no one dared to resist the Zhao army.
Cao Cheng led the remnants of the defeated army to run, Liu Xi led a group of soldiers and horses to kill for a while, Cao Cheng was defeated and some men and horses took the road and fled, and suddenly Lu Yi led an army to cover up.
At the time of the fourth watch, most of the Qin soldiers were burned and fled to the river outside the city, but fortunately the river was not very deep, and the people and horses ran to the river to wash the cigarettes.
However, it was said that Lu Lian blocked the river with a cloth bag in the upper reaches, and at dusk he saw the fire in the east wall, and when he arrived at the fourth watch, he could hear the neighing of the indecent people, and immediately ordered the soldiers to move the cloth bags together, and for a time the water was monstrous and rushed downstream, and most of the soldiers and horses of the Qin army drowned in the water.
Cao Cheng led the generals to flee from the place where the water was slow, and when they reached the ferry, they saw another army and horses, and the first one in the green robe and gold armor was Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao slapped the horse and danced the knife and shouted: "Cao Cheng is leaving, today I will use your blood to wash the big knife in my hand."
Cao Cheng and his subordinates were frightened. If you want to know how Cao Cheng's life is, please see the next breakdown.
