Chapter Seventy-Six: The Battle of Wancheng (6)

Nanyang County of Jingzhou is adjacent to Runan County of Yuzhou, but the Jingshan Mountains spread widely, covering the border of the two counties, and there is a road in the middle that leads to the two counties. There are two cities built on the road, Wuyin City and Biyang City. Wuyin connects Biyang from Wancheng, and there are two roads in Biyang, all the way to the north to the downstream of the water, and all the way to the west into Runan County. And Cao Jun took two cities, Cao Chun was stationed in Biyang, and Cao Ren was stationed in Wuyin.

Yuan Yao finally chose to rescue Wancheng, and Wei Yan led 3,000 elite infantry to attack Biyang, with Xu Chu as his lieutenant. Yuan Yao and Chang Nu led 5,000 Chinese troops to follow him.

On Biyang City, looking at the Yuan army who had just arrived in the barracks not far away, a school captain couldn't help but suggest: "General, do you want to send a letter to the lord for help?" ”

"Asking for help?" , Cao Chun laughed, and said with a smile under his fingers: "I only saw that the three thousand heads under the city can ask for credit for me."

Cao Chun glanced at the Yuan army under the city with contempt, and threw the captain to the side, and shouted: "This general has countless Yuan troops with the head of the Ming Dynasty, all of them are native chickens and dogs, come and beat the drum!" Everyone, follow me out of the city to break Yuan's army! ”

"You will lead five hundred archers in the city to beat drums and cheer for this general!" , Cao Chun smiled disdainfully and led several captains down the city.

After a while, the sound of rumbling war drums sounded at the head of Biyang City, and more than 100 horsemen and 1,000 foot soldiers came out of Biyang City.

"Wen Chang, is this Cao Jun going to attack?" , In Yuan's military camp, Xu Chu was a little confused, he could defend the city, but he couldn't go down to the city to fight the enemy?

"It doesn't matter if he is or not", Wei Yan got up and took off the long knife on the shelf, and said with a hateful smile: "I should thank that General Cao, I despise me Wei Wenchang!" It's a pity that the good head is today."

"Order, drum formation!"

After the tilt, the two armies lined up for the outside of Biyang City, the Cao army was noisy, looking like a martial artist, on the other hand, the Yuan army was calm and abnormal, Wei Yan did not give an order, the Yuan army did not dare to shout in a low voice, only the rumbling drum came from the Yuan army camp.

"Who is coming? I have never heard of the general of Yuan Jun having the surname Wei", Cao Chun raised his knife and slapped his horse loudly pointing to the word 'Wei' on the banner of Yuan Jun and laughed wantonly. Although this battalion of Yuan Jun seems to be a little different from what he has seen in the past, but.

After all, the local chicken tile dog is just a local chicken tile dog!

"Kill!" Seeing that General Yuan did not answer, Cao Chun raised his sword and led the army forward.

The drums upstairs shook loudly, and the drums became denser, and the five hundred archers drew their bows and arrows one after another, and shot arrows at Yuan's army.

"Raise the shield", Wei Yan raised his knife, and the drum rumbled three times.

When the drums sounded in Yuan's camp, the sword and shield men raised the shield in unison, and the arrows flew down from the city and shot at the shield one after another, causing no harm to the Yuan battalion soldiers.

"March!" , Wei Yan urged Ma Yang Dao to roar, leading the guards and Xu Chu to charge forward.

The sword and shield hand of the Yuan army's front battalion raised the shield diagonally, holding the knife and charging behind Wei Yan. The two torrents collided in an instant.

Wei Yan also ignored others, handed over Cao Chun's personal guards to his own personal guards to solve, and took Cao Chun directly with his own knife. Xu Chu stabbed several captains of Cao Jun with a spear and a halberd.

Cao Chun saw that Yuan was menacing in the future, and he didn't have a trace of fear, so he raised his big sword high above the top, used all his strength, and slashed straight towards Wei Yan.

"Nobody, I have never seen this general Wu Yong, I think that on the battlefield, I only borrowed a reckless spirit, I don't know if it is brave or stupid", Cao Chun sneered in his heart.

Wei Yan saw that Cao Chun's knife was also fierce, but he didn't fight for his life, raised his knife diagonally, and took advantage of the horse's momentum to staggered with Cao Chun.

"Some, Wei Yan", Wei Yan used his arms to pull the knife back.

"Take your life today!"

Cao Chun knew that something was wrong, and when he turned over and raised his knife, a blade had split the nail leaves, broken the skin and flesh, and almost between the bones, and a blood-colored lotus bloomed on Cao Chun's back.

Cao Chun was in pain, abandoned the knife and lay on the horse's back, turned sharply and pulled the reins to urge the horse to flee.

"Great head, a certain acceptance", Wei Yan urged the horse to catch up, Cao Chun's personal guards hurriedly tried their best to block, Wei Yan couldn't bear a spear, the horizontal knife split Cao Chun's personal guard, Wei Yan whipped to chase Cao Chun, and finally Wei Yan slashed at Cao Chun's knife, Cao Chun could not avoid it, and was cut off the horse.

Wei Yan beheaded Cao Chun and shouted: "Cao Chun is dead, why don't you descend early?" ”

The two armies are fighting fiercely, although the Cao army is brave, but the Yuan army cooperates tacitly, and the rules are moderate, and gradually overwhelm the Cao army, and Xu Chu has stabbed three captains to death, and the remaining three captains are panicked when they see Cao Chun being beheaded.

Cao Chunnai is Cao Cao's close brother, usually very important, if he knew that they were not good to guard, he was afraid that he would be angry with them, and seeing that Cao Jun could no longer resist Yuan's army, he took a few guards and fled. The remaining lieutenants hurried back to the city.

Seeing that Cao Chun had been beheaded, the situation of Cao's army was beyond redemption, and he shouted loudly "Close the city gate".

Hearing the order, Cao Jun hurriedly wanted to close the city gate, but he couldn't stop the retreating Cao Jun from escaping into the city. And Wei Yan and Xu Chu had already urged the horse to lead the captain of the guard to chase him to the horse, but Cao Jun's momentum had been dissipated, and he did not dare to resist, so he scattered and fled.

Wei Yan and Xu Zhu seized the city gates, and Yuan's army continued to pour in and occupy Biyang City. Seeing that there was nothing he could do, the captain of the city finally led his archers to surrender to Yuan's army.

"Zhong Kang, this is better than Yang, isn't it God favoring you and me", Wei Yan held Cao Chun's head in one hand and laughed loudly.

"If it weren't for Wen Chang's bravery, it would be difficult to win Biyang City even if there was a good opportunity", Xu Chu recalled Wei Yan's strict management of the army in the previous months, so that he could confront Cao Jun. And before he made a decision to kill Cao Chun, Wei Yan is indeed a rare fierce general.

"I'm afraid that Wuyin is not good, Cao Ren has a general's name, courage and strategy, and he will stick to it when he hears the news", Xu Chu said after a while.

Wei Yan lifted Cao Chun's head, smiled cruelly, and asked the captain of the Cao military who surrendered on the side,

"Since Cao Ren and Cao Chun have the same surname Cao, I don't know if they are uncles and nephews or brothers?"

"General Hui, Cao Chunnai is Cao Ren's brother"

"If you have surrendered to me, I will not kill you, but I must start as a soldier again."

"But if you are willing to help me obtain Wuyin City, and this general will give you the position of captain to Gongzi, do you have the courage?" , Wei Yan stuffed Cao Chun's head into the captain's arms and said with a smirk.

............................................................................

In the north of the river, 10,000 Cao troops are marching steadily, and on the flanks are 2,000 'Taishan thieves' under the command of Zang Ba.

In the middle camp of the Cao army, Cao Cao was wearing a red robe, with a 'shadow' under his crotch, and he was wearing armor to protect the leader Dian Wei, and on the other side was Cao Ang, who had just entered the battlefield.

"Yes, yes, Yuan Rang and Yu Wen are brave and strategic", Cao Cao held a scroll of letters in his hand, nodded and smiled.

"Zixuan, take a look, when the next Yuan lets the leader go on the expedition, you must ask for advice with him", Cao Cao handed the bamboo slip to Cao Ang and instructed.

Cao Ang took the letter and replied with a smile: "Keep it in your heart, child."

"I have led the army for my father for more than ten years, and I really didn't expect it to be so easy this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to learn anything."
