Chapter 363: Strong Forces

On the last day of November in the fifteenth year of Jian'an, it was cold. (Pinyin for biqi u)

Yang Xi mobilized an army of 140,000, and Zhang He and Cao Hong were clear.

The flying ball sent back news from time to time, and Zhang He was ready to rescue Cao Hong and Xiahoudun at any time.

Yang Xi ordered Lü Meng to directly abandon the camp, lead the headquarters army of 60,000, and directly attack Cao Hong, and at the same time, ordered Zhou Tai to lead the army of 50,000 to attack Cao Hong and Xiahoudun in the east.

An army of 100,000, 20,000 musketeers, and 20 cannons to attack Cao Hong, leaving only 30,000 troops to stay in the camp, and Yang Xi personally sat in the town.

All this, Zhang He and Cao Hongqing were clear and shocked.

At this time, Zhang He encountered a problem.

This is a multiple-choice question.

He can lead the army out of the city to save Cao Hong and Xiahoudun, but there is a better choice, which is to directly attack Yang Xi's grain and grass camp.

As long as Yang Xi loses the grain and grass, his army will retreat.

Zhang He thought about it, and finally led 40,000 troops out of the city to rob Yang Xi's grain and grass.

Yang Xi was also a little nervous.

If Zhang He went to save Cao Hong, there would really be a fierce battle. But if you come to rob the camp, it's easy.

Yang Xi's camp is above the tunnel.

The flying ball sent back the news, Zhang He went out of the city to rob the camp, and beat Wei to save Zhao's thoughts.

Zhang He only had 50,000 soldiers and horses, and this time he sent 40,000 troops, leaving only 10,000 to defend the city.

The high walls of Xiangyang City are strong, even if there are 10,000 defenders, it is easy to break through.

But what Zhang He didn't know was that the soldiers and horses in Yang Xi's camp slowly disappeared.

Yang Xi ordered his own flying ball, shot down the opponent's flying ball, and then ordered the army to enter the tunnel.

Where do you still need grain and grass, directly abandon the grain and grass, enter the tunnel, and then pass the tunnel, and the gods do not know it.

Somewhere in Xiangyang City, more and more military horses entered.

Fortunately, in recent years, the economic strength of the special service battalion has become stronger and stronger, and it has bought twenty or thirty mansions in the vicinity and connected them together.

But despite this, the mansion was also crowded with military horses at this time.

Yang Xi personally commanded the 30,000 army into four teams, leading one team by himself, one team led by Mao Luan, and the other two teams were led by the head of Mao Luan's subordinates to take the Sifang City Gate.

The four city gates, each with only 2,500 troops, were already extremely weak, and they were attacked from behind by Yang Xi and others, and it didn't take much effort at all, so most of them were shot with crossbows.

Yang Xi seized the city gate, did not change the flag, and ordered the military horses to change into Cao Jun's military uniforms and continue to defend the town.

However, it was said that Cao Hong and Xiahoudun were very nervous when they detected the attack of Yang Xi's army.

There is no way, there are too many military horses on the other side.

So Cao Hong hurriedly ordered people to go to Xiangyang to ask Zhang He to send troops to help, and attacked left and right, but he got the news that Zhang He had already sent troops, and only after asking again did he know that Zhang He took Yang Xi's camp.

Cao Hong had no choice but to cheer up and lead his troops out to camp the enemy.

A total of 150,000 soldiers and horses confronted each other on the shore of the Han River, and the momentum was magnificent.

At twelve o'clock at noon, Zhou Tai and Lu Meng had a good look, and Lu Meng was under full command.

Lu Meng ordered the whole army to set up a formation, not to advance, and only ordered the cannons to start bombarding the opponent's camp.

Lu Meng's sky-bombing cannon had a range far superior to that of the other party, and before Cao Hong could fire the cannon to the firing range, he ushered in artillery fire, and suddenly the people in the army turned on their backs.

Xiahoudun said: "It's better to attack, if you put the army under the enemy's artillery fire, you will be defeated for a long time." “

Cao Hong had no choice but to order the whole army to attack.

Lü Meng ordered 20,000 musketeers to be in front, and the guns rang out, Cao Hong and Xiahoudun did not dare to personally lead the troops in front, but only ordered the soldiers to charge, and the retreating rear army killed the front army, which was extremely tragic.

This is a game that must be lost, Cao Hong Xiahoudun really saw the gunpowder gun for the first time, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful, he couldn't get close at all.

Even if there was a rush to the front, they were directly shot by the rain of arrows.

"Zilian! Zhang He doesn't come, this battle can't be fought, retreat quickly! For the first time, Xiahoudun shouted timidly when the two armies faced each other head-on.

Cao Hong also felt that something was wrong, the opponent's gunpowder gun was too powerful, and after Xiahou shouted, he quickly ordered the whole army to stop attacking and retreat quickly.

At this time, Lü Meng ordered the army to advance and pursue, Cao Hong led the army back twenty miles, and Lü Meng only advanced slowly, in case Zhang He's soldiers and horses came from behind.

However, it was said that Zhang He rushed to Yang Xi's camp, saw that it was empty, and knew the plan, but he didn't know it, so he had to lead his troops to the west and respond to Cao Hong in an emergency.

When Zhang He's army arrived, he saw Cao Hong retreating, so the two armies merged into one.

Xiahoudun scolded Zhang He and said: "What do you want? Prime Minister You and I should cooperate with each other, just contain Yang Xi's soldiers and horses, and wait for the results of the other two battles, you are good, you are good at making claims, and you disappeared for two hours, causing our army to lose more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Zhang He knew that he was at a loss, and it was difficult to refute it. If he wins, it will be a great achievement, but now Yang Xi's grain and grass have been found, but he has not seen any soldiers and horses, and Cao Hong has lost more than 10,000 people and horses, so he has to say stupidly: "Yang Xi doesn't know what tricks he made, 30,000 horses disappeared out of thin air, and the grain and grass are gone." ”

Xiahoudun scolded again: "The prime minister praised you as the tiger general of the world, and entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, at this time, Yang Xi's 30,000 troops and horses disappeared, and he went to take Xiangyang." ”

Cao Hong was shocked: "If Xiangyang is lost, even if there are more soldiers and horses, it will not help." ”

Zhang He said: "The two generals don't need to panic, I left 10,000 military horses to guard Xiangyang, I expect Yang Xi to have 30,000 military horses, to take Xiangyang, it's still too far away, I'll wait for this to go back to Xiangyang, maybe we can still work together inside and outside, and finish it in one battle!" ”

"Good! Without further ado! Hurry back to the army, if you wait for Lü Meng to return to the army to help, the battle will be scorched again. Xiahoudun was impatient.

Zhang He said: "Lu Meng's army, there are no light horses, why don't you order someone to lead the light horses back to Xiangyang and quickly attack Yang Xi?" ”

These words were in Xiahoudun's arms, but Cao Hong said with a look of embarrassment: "I was killed by Lu Meng's musketeers four or five thousand light cavalry before, but I only have five thousand cavalry. ”

This is a direct request for military power, and it is reasonable that it will not lend military power, but Zhang He did not respond to it at the first time, so he had to nod and say: "Okay!" I will first transfer my 10,000 cavalry and Yuan Rang, and hurry back to Xiangyang. As for Lu Meng's soldiers and horses, I Yu Zilian first maneuvered. ”

Xiahou was overjoyed, if he defeated Yang Xi, this would be a great achievement, even if he was not killed on the spot, he could boost the morale of the whole army.

So the one-eyed Xiahoudun led 15,000 cavalry and galloped towards Xiangyang.

Two hours of infantry mileage, cavalry less than half an hour to arrive. Xiahoudun went to the city of Xiangyang, but saw that the city was undamaged, and Zhang He's banner was still planted on the city tower, and he was immediately relieved.

But Xiahoudun was puzzled, where did this Yang Xi go, could he personally lead the army, retreat south, and go to meet Liu Bei, who had taken away his Zigui, shouldn't it.

Where could Xiahoudun have thought that the defenders in the city had nothing to do with Zhang He at all.

"At this time, Yang Xi has not arrived, it is better to advance the city, and when he comes to attack, I will lead the army to kill and catch him off guard. He Yang Xi is not an immortal, how can he know that I have arrived in Xiangyang City? ”

So Xiahou ordered someone to come and ask for the city gate to be opened.
