Chapter 778: The Battle for Merging States, Jinyang City is the Battlefield!

"Report to the general, Jinyang City, the city gate is wide open, there are no defenders on the city wall, at a glance, it is very quiet!" Three miles outside Jinyang City, the main force of the Wei army stopped, and the scout battalion went first under Jinyang City, and quickly investigated the defense of Jinyang City.

"The gates of the Quartet are all wide open?" When Cao Hong heard this, there was a trace of astonishment on his face.

"Yes!"

The scout lieutenant knelt on one knee and reported: "The gates of Jinyang City, southeast and northwest are all wide open, and the suspension bridge protecting the river has not been hoisted, and our scouts have not found any trace of the Liang army, but this scene is a little weird, and our scout battalion soldiers dare not enter the city casually!" ”

"Mr. Yuan Hao, what do you think?"

Cao Hong's face quickly became heavy, he glanced at Tian Feng and asked.

"General, in the current situation, it is not suitable to attack the city, let's set up camp first!"

Tian Feng thought about it, his eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, and he said in a low voice: "The situation in the city, we don't know, and besides, I am also a little uneasy in my heart, let's brake quietly first and see the situation!" ”

In this case, there must be fraud.

He was also a little unsure of Liang Jun's intentions.

"Good!"

Cao Hong nodded, and then passed the military order: "Pass the order, the whole army will camp here, bury the pot and make food, after eating, immediately rest, recover physical strength, wait for the big battle, and all the soldiers should be careful to be on guard, the horse will not leave the saddle, the armor will not leave the body, and the soldiers will not leave the hand!" ”

"No!"

A group of Wei generals ordered them to go down and began to arrange for the soldiers to camp and bury the pot to make food.

When the camp was built, it was already evening, and the slanting sun was shining, and the light was like blood. Under the shroud of cooking smoke, the Wei army camp appeared to be majestic.

The soldiers of the Wei army were carefully guarded while camping, even if they were eating and sleeping, they did not leave their weapons and took off their battle armor.

in the main ledger.

Cao Hongpan sat down. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch the bridge of his nose, and the light in his eyes was a little gloomy: "Mr. Yuan Hao, you say, what kind of tricks are these Xiliangzi playing?" Is it an empty city plan? ”

In the "Thirty-six Strategies" military book published by Wu Guo, most of the military generals in the world are reading it, and they can call a few plans casually.

"Kaesong welcomes guests, obviously prepared. But their purpose, a certain family is not very clear! ”

Tian Feng squinted his eyes, he looked at a map around Jinyang City, his thoughts were running at high speed, and he was constantly thinking about the intention of the Liang army in the city: "If they are leading us into the city, do they still want to burn the city in a fire?" ”

"How dare they?"

When Cao Hong heard this, his eyes glared coldly.

The battle in Anyi shocked the world. caused public outrage, and Cheng Gongying burned the city. It can be regarded as a pit for Pound, but he himself did not end well, such a bad plan, unless he goes to a desperate situation, otherwise, no one is so bold.

"Probably not. After all, the impact of Anyi's burning of the city has not yet passed, and the same strategy, if used twice in a short period of time, will lose its original effect! ”

Tian Feng said in a low voice: "If Ma plays with him and is a smart person, he shouldn't be so naΓ―ve!" ”

Cheng Gongying's fire. It has made many people vigilant, so when attacking the city, there will be early warning in this regard, even if the Liang army in the city is prepared in this regard, in the face of the guarded Wei army, the effect is not great.

"And what the hell are they thinking?"

The more Cao Hong thought about it, the more confused he became, and he became a little impatient.

"General, now we have to figure out one thing first!" Tian Feng said suddenly.

"Mr. Yuan Hao, please speak!"

"What we have to figure out is whether there is a Liang army in the city, and if so, how many troops there are, which is very important!" Tian Feng said in a deep voice: "For the safety of this battle, and also for the safety of our main forces and horses, the scout battalion should take a little risk, enter the city at night, and explore the enemy's strength in the city!" ”

"Hmm!"

When Cao Hong heard this, he nodded, he couldn't figure out the movements in the city, and he was not at ease, he thought about it, and shouted outside the camp: "Xiahou Ling!" ”

"The last general!"

The captain of the scout battalion lifted the curtain and walked in quickly.

"Xiahou Ling, after nightfall, the scout battalion sent a subordinate soldier to enter the city to explore, no matter what, we must find out, whether there is a Wei army in the city, if so, how many troops, where are the soldiers and horses, this is very important, do you know?"

"The last general understands!"

Hearing this, Xiahou Ling nodded, and took the order.

He is a son of the Xiahou family, and he can be mixed with the captain of the scout battalion, but he climbed up with his own merits, brave and clever, with a sleek personality, he is a scout's material, and he is the most elite general under Cao Hong.

……

The sun is gone, and night has fallen.

The gates of Jinyang City were not closed as usual, they were still quietly open, and most importantly, the city was also very quiet, and the people of every household seemed to be warned not to go out.

The mansion of the history of the state thorn, this mansion was built in the early years, although after Ma Chao entered the state, it was not opened, but the geographical location here, in Jinyang City, is very special, staggered in the north and south streets, but the left and right are towering houses, when the war is coming, it can be called a city within a city.

Under the bright lights, around the Assassin's Mansion, soldiers and horses were waiting in formation.

The lord sat in the lobby of the mansion with an indifferent expression.

"General, the Wei army outside the city, the camp set up in Wu Yuepo, three miles away, did not enter the city immediately!" A lieutenant stepped up and whispered.

"It's normal that they didn't enter the city right away!"

Ma Yu was not surprised, and said in a cold voice: "If Cao Hong is such a person who is easy to deal with, there is no need for a certain family to take such pains to lure him into the bait, but he will enter the city if he is very open, as long as he enters the city, in this battle, none of them will want to escape!" ”

"Report to the general, the scouts of the Wei army have entered the city!"

At this time, a soldier came to report.

"How many are there?"

"There are about five hundred, quietly entering the city through the four gates!"

"Mobilize the crossbow battalion and the bow battalion and wipe them all out!" Ma Yu said murderously: "No one is allowed to escape!" ”

"No!"

The soldiers immediately went down and passed on the order to play with the horses.

"Hong Just!" Ma Yu stood up and, with the assistance of his own soldiers, put on the battleship. Put the second long knife in his hand and shout.

"The last general!" A burly warrior walked out.

"The Wei army scouts have entered the city, as long as they know that we are in the city, their main force will soon attack the city, and we only have 10,000 soldiers in our hands, and we will be in this city. You have to hold on for a day to hold them back! ”

Ma Yu said in a deep voice: "They must have entered the city from the south city, the south street entrance of the north and south streets is very important, hold the south street, and the assassin mansion will not fall, so you can be confident that you are guarding the south street entrance!" ”

"General, Hong is not. Don't lose it at the South Street Entrance! "The general Hong said decisively.

"Fang Wei!"

"In!"

"You go down and tell the sons and daughters that this battle lord is dragging the enemy, don't hit it hard, use the streets and alleys in the city, drag it as long as you can!" Horse play reminds of the road.

"No!"

General Fang Wei nodded.

"Wei killed my king of Liang Kingdom, this revenge is not shared, this battle will be won, and it will be annihilated!"

Horse play looks up. Looking at the bright moonlight, his eyes burst with an awe-inspiring killing intent.

The Wei army entered Guanzhong. Now even Ma Chao has no choice but to give up Guanzhong to fight, he must teach Wei a lesson, even if it is to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

"Annihilation!"

"Annihilation!"

The morale of the generals was high, and the killing intent was surging.

……

The night was quiet, and before I knew it, it was already past the hour. When entering the ugly, the Wei army camp, in the middle tent, the lights were shining, and Cao Hong was quietly waiting.

"Is there a sound of battle in the city?"

There was no response for a long time. Cao Hong became a little impatient and asked.

"General Huiyu, no!" One of the guards shook his head.

"General, don't be impatient!"

Tian Feng was also waiting, but his heart was more durable than Cao Hong, he held a military book in his hand, and when he read it carefully, he heard Cao Hong's question, so he replied: "Jinyang City is not small, and the soldiers of the scout battalion also need time!" ”

"General, the sound of skirmishes is coming from inside the city!" A scout who had stayed outside the city to watch hurried in and reported it.

"Handed-in?"

Tian Feng's eyes lit up, and he said: "There must be soldiers and horses in the city, and they are not small, otherwise with our scout battalion being so cautious, there will be no battle!" ”

"Looks like the horse play is still in the city!"

Cao Hong's eyes lit up, and he said, "Otherwise, a certain family will immediately send troops into the city!" ”

"General, let's wait!"

Tian Feng shook his head: "What the current situation is, we still haven't been clear, let's wait until the scout camp comes back, and then discuss!" ”

"Sir's right!"

Cao Hong took a deep breath and forced his impatience.

The ugly time passed little by little, and when the time began to enter Yin, the soldiers of the Wei army scout camp began to return to the camp one after another, and then dispatched five hundred scouts, and less than thirty soldiers came back, one by one with wounds.

"General, the last general is incompetent, the soldiers of the scout battalion have just entered the city, we were ambushed by the enemy army in the city, hundreds of children fought to the death, and a certain family was killed!"

Xiahou Ling was covered in blood, holding a big spear in his hand, the quiver on his back was empty, and he knelt in front of Cao Hong in embarrassment.

"You were ambushed as soon as you entered the city?"

Cao Hong's face changed drastically, and he asked, "Can you find out how many troops are in the city?" ”

"General Hui, check it out, there are at least 8,000 soldiers in the city!"

Xiahou Ling replied: "Our scout battalion soldiers did their best, what they could investigate was that they had deployed troops in the south and north cities, and their soldiers did not go up to the city wall and did not know the camp flag, so when our scout battalion soldiers crossed the city gate, they were very safe, and then, with their houses as cover and the street as the battlefield, they killed our scout battalion soldiers by surprise at once!" ”

"The Liang army in Bingzhou is only in the early 30,000s, plus the young and strong recruited, at most forty or fifty thousand, Cheng Yin was defeated in the north, Cheng Yi led the troops north to reinforce, there should only be horse play in the city!"

Tian Feng analyzed: "If all his soldiers and horses are there, the number of troops will not exceed 15,000, and with a force, he can defend the city!" ”

"But he gave up the gates, did they just want us to enter the city?" Cao Hong said in a low voice.

"Where are the people of the city?"

Tian Feng asked suddenly.

"In!" Xiahou Ling hurriedly replied: "The last general personally went to check it, most of the people in the city are there, but they are not allowed to go out!" ”

"Looks like they're trying to fight us in the streets!" Tian Feng said coldly: "They are not strong enough, all of them are broken into pieces, and they use the entire Jinyang City as a battlefield to entangle with us!" ”

"I want to break it into pieces!"

Cao Hong stood up, smiled coldly, and said proudly: "When it comes to individual strength, our sons and daughters of the Wei army will not lose to them!" ”

"General, the soldiers and horses are drawn and enter the city!" Tian Feng said: "This battle should be fought sooner rather than later, it should be fought, and if you take Jinyang City as soon as possible, you can decide the situation and merge the state!" ”

"Good!"

Cao Hong shouted: "Beat the drums, gather troops, point generals, now we will set off, send an order to the whole army, before the time, the army must enter the city, there is a block, there is no forgiveness!" ”

"No!"

Give the order and quickly go to the drum to gather troops.

At three o'clock, the army marched out, and the main force entered the city with the southern city, and the troops on the left and right flanks entered the city from the city gates on the east and west sides.

The Battle of Jinyang started at Maoshi.

"Kill, kill!"

"I am Lin Liang of Wei State, and those who stand in my way will be killed!"

"The battle flag of the Wei State, invincible, kill it!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The Wei army's attacking soldiers were very sharp, shouting and killing to the sky, and the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps seemed to knock on the ground in the city at once.

"Wei Gou is here, release the arrow!"

"The houses on the left and right, poured tung oil, lit fires, and burned this street!"

"Tripper, tripper, quick!"

The resistance of the Liang army was not weak, they waited for work, but occupied a big advantage, and most importantly, the city was narrow, the streets and alleys were staggered, which was different from the top and bottom of the city wall, which was not conducive to the attack of the large army.

The war was in full swing, and the people of Jinyang City listened to this monstrous shouting and killing, but they didn't dare to go out to take a look, and every household was locked up at home like an ostrich.

The sky gradually brightened, and the battle trend between the Liang army and the Wei army became clearer.

Jinyang City, the main gallop road, north and south streets.

"General, we understand what they are up to!"

The street is very spacious, but in the face of the attack of the army, it is narrow, looking at the front Wei Jun Erlang is blocked at the entrance of the South Street, Tian Feng has a gloomy face, standing beside the main general Cao Hong, and said coldly: "Although our troops are more than three or four times theirs, but the city is not conducive to our troops, there are many houses, alleys and streets are all one-man and ten thousand people, all our military advantages are useless in the city, and they stick to the gallop of the north and south streets, using the left and right alleys, roundabout attacks, with the Thorn Shi Mansion in the middle as the core, A fortress was formed! ”

"Damn it!"

Cao Hong's face became gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Even so, they won't be able to survive for a few days, they will be surrounded and killed in the middle, and in the end it will only be a dead end!" ”

Although this aspect can resist for a while, it can't be stopped for too long, and sooner or later the army will be defeated, but it will cut off its own back road.

"That's what's so weird about me!"

Tian Feng looked at the morale of the Wei soldiers around him, leaned in, and whispered in Cao Hong's ear: "I suspect, they have reinforcements?" ”

The only thing he can think of now is to attack inside and outside!

"Reinforcements?"

When Cao Hong heard this, his heart suddenly suddenly, he glanced at Tian Feng, and said: "According to the report of our spies and scouts, the war has already started in the north, and the Liang army and the Wu army are not from the same country. ”

"Zhang Heng?" Tian Feng said tentatively.

"It can't be!"

Cao Hong shook his head and said: "Zhang Hengbu has always been under our noses, although he bites us behind, but he can't catch up after two or three days!" (To be continued......)
