Wei Yan let Cao Ang go, so he didn't regret it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But after a day of thinking, he came up with a plan to use Cao Ang's siege to attract Hongnong's defenders out of the city to rescue, and then take the opportunity to capture Hongnong's method.

Wei Yan asked one of his cronies to wear the uniform of the Yulin Army, covered in blood, and rushed to the city of Hongnong as if he had broken through, shouting to open the city.

The general of Hongnong didn't know why, and when he asked, he realized that it was Cao Cao's eldest son who personally led the troops to support. The Yulin Military Academy said, "The eldest prince led 3,000 troops and wanted to go to Hongnong, but he knew that he was ambushed near Hongnong. Now the two sides have been fighting all night, and the enemy can't take me, but our army can't break through. In desperation, the eldest prince ordered people to break through on all sides and came to Hongnong to ask for help. Now that the matter is urgent, I hope that Taishou will send troops early. Otherwise, the eldest prince is in danger? "

Hongnong is too guarded Qin Qi is the new appoint, originally timid and afraid, otherwise the matter of Tongguan would not not have sent troops to help, but just reported to Xu Du.

But this time it was different, because it was Cao Cao's eldest son who was surrounded, and if there was no rescue this time, Cao Ang would die. Even if he has a hundred heads, he can't afford to lose. Therefore, Taishou didn't want to think about it, so he ordered the defenders of the whole city to gather, and gathered about 2,000 soldiers and horses to relieve the siege.

The deputy general guarding the city said, "Lord Taishou, wouldn't such an arrangement be ignored by Zhihong Nongcheng." "

Qin Qi said, "You don't understand this, if there are fewer rescuers this time, it won't be helpful at all, and when the reinforcements are eaten, Hongnong still can't save it." But if you save the eldest prince but lose Hongnong, not only will you not be guilty, but you will have merit. "

Qin Qi led two thousand troops to follow the Yulin Military Academy, who came to ask for help, to relieve the siege.

On that side, Wei Yan led his troops to detour to Hongnong City, and as soon as Qin Qi's soldiers left, Wei Yan led his troops to attack Hongnong City. There were not enough defenders in the city, so it surrendered almost without resistance.

Qin Qi was in the air, and when he heard that Zhongji had lost Hongnong, he didn't dare to go back to capture the city, so he had to lead his troops to retreat to Hangu Pass.

Wei Yan's strange soldiers along the way, Liankepu version, Tongguan, Hongnong Zhucheng, and almost completely annihilated the main force of Cao Ang's Yulin army, which can be said to be famous in a battle.

Wei Yan ordered people to set up the banner of the Hedong Army on Hongnong City. Playing the banner is to force Xiahou Yuan to return south.

Wei Yan ordered the soldiers and horses to rest in Hongnong for three days, and it was expected that Cao's intelligence network should pass the news of Hongnong's loss to Xiahou Yuan, so he recruited Ding Zhuang in the city to guard the city, and then led the main force to quietly Tongguan. Wei Yan led his troops to cross the Yellow River north at night, hibernate like a snake, and wait for the opportunity to bite Xiahou Yuan. On the other side, Liu Pi led hundreds of people to return to Tongguan again, and loaded the grain and grass from Tongguan back to Pingyang County as much as possible. The rest of the grain and grass equipment were all burned, and then an empty Tongguan was left for Ma Teng Hansui outside the pass.

Soon after Wei Yan's soldiers and horses withdrew, the Hexi soldiers and horses unceremoniously occupied Tongguan. Regardless of whether it was Han Sui's soldiers and horses who seized the opportunity this time, he was not as reckless as Ma Teng. It only occupied Tongguan, although it waited and saw what happened, and did not take further action.

This series of changes in Hongnong County not only alarmed Cao Cao and the soldiers and horses of Hexi, but Zhang Xiu, who had not moved in Nanyang, couldn't help it this time.

Although Jia Xu persuaded again and again, after receiving the letter sent by his son Zhang Quan's secret agent, Zhang Xiu was still ready to fight with his army.

His goal is not just one city and one place, but to enter the capital of Xu, take the opportunity to grasp the center, and take sole power. In Zhang Xiu's view, now Cao Cao is attacking Liu Bei in Xuzhou, and Cao Ang has led Xudu's heavy troops out to deal with the soldiers and horses in Hedong. Xu Du's emptiness is inevitable, and he has the key weight of his precious son Zhang Quan, and there is no reason to be invincible in this station.

However, Jia Xu disagreed, because in his opinion, even if he won militarily, the political time was not ripe, and even if he captured Xudu and controlled Emperor Xian, it was impossible to command the princes. On the contrary, he put himself in the land of four wars, and he was in crisis.

But Zhang Xiu didn't think so, he thought that as long as he controlled Xu Du and Emperor Xian, the important ministers of the court would definitely defect. And he can pull Liu Biao into the water, and Liu Bei and Tian Jing will also support him at that time.

So Zhang Xiu decided to lead 10,000 elite soldiers, make a detour to the north, and surprise attack Xudu.

****************************************************************

Tian Jing and Tian Feng led their troops south to Hanoi, and the first city they faced on the way south was Dangyin. There is a flood in front of the yin, and there is a black mountain in the west as an obstacle, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to bypass the dangyin and go south directly, it is not impossible. However, he had to hand over his supply line to the enemy, and Tian Jing did not dare to take such a big risk.

Tian Jing ordered his soldiers to leave the city thirty miles and go down to the village. Then the people began to cut down trees to make ladders, and prepare wooden bridges to cross the moat.

The defender in the city is Song Guang, Lejin's lieutenant. Le Jin handed him the gateway to Hanoi County, and left a thousand elite soldiers, as well as enough arrows and rolling stones. There was not a single common man in the city, and the grain and grass could last for a year. In Le Jin's opinion, as long as he doesn't lose the yin, then he will have a chance to hold Hanoi when he comes back after supporting Xiahou Yuan.

Song Guang was originally a part of Lejin, and he didn't have particularly strong skills, what he was best at was obedience. Le Jin asked him to hold on, and he couldn't hold on. Lejin asked him to stay for half a year, and he would not lose a day. Therefore, when Song Guang saw that the soldiers and horses of the Hebei army were stationed outside the city and began to cut wood to make siege equipment, he was just very calm and asked people to report the latest enemy situation every day.

The Hebei Army, under the banner of merging with Shi Gaogan, claimed to be a 100,000-strong army, but judging from the situation of the company camp, Song Guang estimated that the enemy army was no more than 20,000. With the strong city of Dangyin, Song Guang was confident that he would bring down the soldiers and horses of Hebei here.

Tian Jing's army had been camped under Dangyin City for more than ten days, and they did nothing but let craftsmen make siege equipment, just waiting. Not to mention the 2,000 soldiers and horses sent by Yuan Shao, even the men and horses of Tian Jing's headquarters were a little overwhelmed.

Everyone elected Zang Shun to ask Tian Jing when he would attack. Tian Jing smiled when he saw Zang Shun, and I was guessing who would come to ask me, but I didn't expect it to be you. Since you are here, don't run in vain, "Zang Shun ordered, tonight the third watch, you are handsome and shoot the sound of the captain's battalion and horses with the wooden bridge quietly lurking outside the north gate of Dangyin, as soon as you see the fire in the city, you will lead the troops to attack the city gate, clear all the stubborn enemies, and ensure that the north gate is in the hands of our army." ”

Zang Shun was overjoyed when he heard this, "The last general will take the order." But the general arranged the internal response? ”

Tian Jing said with a smile, "It's a lot of things, you can't reveal the secret of heaven, just act according to the military order." ”

Waiting for Zang Shun to leave, Tian Jing asked his own soldiers to lead Leping and Hao Zhao to see him. Now these two people are in charge of Changshui, Yue and the two schools of soldiers and horses. Tian Jing asked Hao Zhao to set off now, led the cavalry around Dangyin, and ambushed fifty miles south of Dangyin City, so that he would not let Song Guang's army go south. After Zang Shun stormed the city gate, Leping led the cavalry to rush into the city, directly attacked the county government, captured Song Guang alive, and eliminated the enemy's living forces.

Then Tian Jing ordered Zhang Bao and Li Meng's soldiers and horses to be on standby tonight.

After the arrangement was completed, Tian Jing went to see Tian Feng. In this attack on Dangyin, Tian Jing did not plan to use Yuan Shao's soldiers, but he still had to explain the situation to Tian Feng first.

That night, a surprise army of 300 men came out of the Black Mountain in the west direction of the city that night, and climbed into the city with almost no defense from the defenders. These people were dressed in miscellaneous clothes, and the blades in their hands were different, including steel knives, sharp axes, brass hammers, halberds, and so on, the only thing they had in common was that they all had ropes and flying claws tied around their waists.

As soon as they entered the city, they killed the defenders and seized the gates like tigers from the mountains. The fire in the city was together, and Zang Shun's soldiers and horses rushed up. After a while, the inside and the outside were united, and the north gate was captured. Immediately afterwards, Leping led the cavalry into the city to attack the county government, and Tian Jing led Li Meng and Zhang Bao into the city, occupied the treasury, and took prisoners.

Song Guang never thought that the impregnable Dangyin City would be breached in this situation, although he had the intention to die in his post, but if he could save his life, he still wanted to fight, so he only brought fifty personal soldiers and opened the city gate to break through to the south.

Early in the morning of the second day, Tian Jing had completely controlled Dangyin City. When Tian Feng entered the city with 7,000 Hebei soldiers and horses, they really admired Tian Jing and his northern army.

The city had just been rectified, and Hao Zhao came to reply with Song Guang's head.

Tian Jing was overjoyed and rewarded the generals. Tian Jing said, "Breaking the city today, who do the generals think should it be for?" ”

Zang Shun said, "Although the last general was the first to enter the city, he did not dare to take credit, and it was those warriors who entered the city late at night who should take the lead." ”

Tian Jing said with a smile: "Zang Shun is right, come and invite the warrior into the account." ”

Le Ping looked at the door, it was none other than his brother Li Kang. Leping is overjoyed, and it is a bear hug to go up. Tian Jing said to Tian Feng, "I would like to introduce Mr. Yuan Hao and the generals, this is my fourth brother Li Kang." ”

Li Dang smiled at everyone. It turned out that Tian Jing had asked Hu Cai to send a letter to Li Kang before, asking him to take the brothers of the Flying Tiger Battalion south. However, in order not to make Yuan Shaosheng wary, Li Dang only brought three hundred elite soldiers to help. Most of the remaining soldiers and horses were handed over to Sun Qing, and he was asked to go south from the Taihang Valley to pick up the opportunity to attack the enemy east of the river.

Tian Jing almost bloodlessly took down Dangyin, and the next target to attack was Chaoge. After resting for a day, Tian Jing left Li Meng to guard the yin and marched south with an army of 10,000, hoping to quickly besiege Chaoge before the enemy was ready.

However, what disappointed Tian Jing was that the guards of Chaoge were not given in vain, not to mention that the Chaoge city was higher than Dangyin, and two stone villages were built on the east and west sides of the city, and there were many watchtowers in the wall, which formed a corner with Chaoge City. There were 3,000 defenders in the city, and 500 soldiers and horses in each of the two villages.

Tian Jing's soldiers and horses were less than 10,000, and he couldn't capture Chaoge City at all.

Tian Jing was not in a hurry, and camped outside the city to rest. However, they put the scouts dozens of miles away, hoping to detect more information. Tian Jing was actually waiting for big news to come from the east side of the river, and then it was time for him to attack the city and plunder the land in Hanoi.
