"Looks like we can only attack!" Cao Cao said helplessly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Lord, Yu thought that the soldiers were fast, and they besieged the city directly." What Cheng Yu said had nothing to do with Cao Cao, but he just said the time of sending troops.

"Strategist, is Puyang City still defending?" Cao Ang asked.

"Of course you have to keep it!" Cheng Yu said: "Just leave one general and five thousand recruits." As for the generals, please let the lord decide. ”

"Zixiao, you stay in Puyang, and the rest of the personnel rest here for a day. Send troops to Liyang tomorrow and strive to take Liyang. Cao Cao arranged.

"Whoa!" All the generals gladly accepted the order.

Cao Ang took this opportunity to bring Cao Anmin with him, ready to cultivate.

On the second day, Cao Cao and Cao Ang led an army of 30,000 to set out, using Cao Chun's Flying Tiger Army to conduct reconnaissance and vigilance, and constantly training new soldiers and veterans according to Cao Ang's methods on the way, so that their combat effectiveness increased steadily.

The recruits and veterans have compared themselves with each other, and have gradually improved their ability to unite and assist, which is much better than the previous mess of scattered sand.

Liyang's Yu Luofu had already received the news of Cao Jun's attack, and invited his younger brother Hu Chuquan and his son Liu Bao to discuss the military situation.

"The Cao army is menacing, and the Bairao Department has been wiped out, how can this be good?" Yurov felt a little sorry for Bai Rao's death and looked solemn.

"Brother, we are eagles on the grassland, kings on horseback, and we have nothing to fear." Hu Chuquan said with some annoyance: "Cao Cao is just a dog in Yuan Shao's hands. ”

"The eagles on the prairie can't go back, they can't fly at all. There are only more than 2,000 war horses left, and the new warriors can't even master the basic skills of riding and archery, so what kind of king on horseback! Yurov sighed: "He Cao Cao is a dog, aren't we?" It's just that the object has been replaced by Yuan Shu. ”

"Father has a point!" Liu Bao said: "No matter what, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth!" We still have 30,000 men, and we still have more than enough to defend a city. No matter how bad it is, it will be successful to ask Yuan Shu for help. ”

"Yuan Shu is fighting with Liu Biao in Jingzhou at this time, how can he have time to care about us. I heard that even the general Sun Jian sent by him was dead, and he was determined to split the victory with Liu Biao. Yurov continued.

"Big brother, why don't I take two thousand cavalry to ambush, you defend the city here, and when they are tired of soldiers and horses, I will attack from behind! What do you think? "Hu Chuquan has an idea.

"That's a good plan!" Yurov smiled: "But be careful of Cao Ang's Flying Tiger Army, I heard that they are quite dangerous!" ”

"Brother, don't worry!" Hu Chuquan's face showed a trace of ruthlessness: "How can the people of the Central Plains compare their riding skills with our Huns?" ”

After a long journey, Cao Cao finally led a large army to Liyang and ordered his soldiers to begin camping.

The first night was uneventful, and there was no clash between the two armies.

"Ang'er, what do you have a good idea?" Cao Cao asked.

"Father, the Huns produced cavalry, and I always felt that there were more than 1,000 cavalry in Yurov." Cao Ang suggested, "I think I can keep my son and uncle on standby, ready to meet the enemy's cavalry at any time." ”

"Great idea!" Cao Cao asked the generals: "Who dares to take the city gate for me and come out on top?" ”

After seeking Cao Ang's consent, Liao Hua preemptively said: "Lord, turn your wish into a vanguard and take the Liyang City Gate for your lord." ”

Cao Cao didn't expect Liao Hua to be so uplifted, and he was overjoyed: "Okay! Yuan Jian, it's up to you! ”

Liao Hua came to his subordinates and raised his arms and shouted: "I need eight hundred elites to attack the city, who wants to follow me!" ”

His 5,000 subordinates soon came out with 800 elites, and they stood behind him with a "whoosh", and all of them were replaced with round shields and broadswords.

Cao Ren had already brought in thousands of soldiers and erected a large shield one man high, and the archers hid behind them.

Standing on the city wall, Yurov and Liu Bao noticed the change in Cao's army, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to gather at the head of the city and prepare for defense.

Yurov's brows were furrowed, and his eyes were cloudy.

"Knock knock!" The roaring war drums sounded, urging people to forge ahead.

"Shoot!" Yurov was a little anxious and began to give the order to attack.

"Poof!" A rain of arrows poured out from the city walls, enveloping the Cao army in front.

When Cao Hong's soldiers reached the land of a stone's throw, the soldiers in front held up their large shields, and the archers behind began to suppress the fire.

There were casualties on both sides, and from time to time soldiers fell from arrows. In general, the soldiers on Yurov's side had a geographical advantage, and their marksmanship was slightly more skilled, so they took advantage of it.

Cao Ang saw clearly in the back, and secretly said in his heart, Liao Hua, Liao Hua, don't let me down! It's best to take the city head in one go.

"Lejin, when Liao Hua takes the city, you will lead the army to press!" Cao Ang was also a little dignified, and decided not to attack the city and give the opportunity to these young people.

"Yes, General!" Le Jin took the order with a bang.

"Brother, can I go?" Cao Anmin also rushed to say, he also wanted to experience it.

"Of course not!" Cao Ang smiled: "You just stay and protect the lord!" ”

"Ahh How so! Cao Anmin didn't want to do it anymore: "I just didn't want to eat idle food when I came from my father, but I didn't expect it to be like this when I came to you." ”

"O people, my brother is also for your good!" Cao Ang comforted: "Your strength is a little low, you are only a third-rate general, and everyone is a second-rate general." ”

"Huh! Generals have grown up in fighting! Just let me go! Cao Anmin continued to plead.

"Good! I'll go with you! Cao Ang said with concern: "But you have to be careful, follow me." ”

"Good! Thank you, brother! Cao Anmin was happy all of a sudden.

Liao Hua and his eight hundred elites also hid behind the big shield, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

Relying on the numerical superiority, the archers of the Cao army intensified their counterattacks, and once pressed the archers on the city wall to the point that they did not dare to raise their heads.

Liao Hua's ability to grasp the opportunity was very good, and seeing that the time was ripe, he waved his hand: "Brothers, attack the city, at this time!" Follow me! ”

This time, he's determined to win!

"Rush!" Eight hundred elite soldiers raised their round shields, faced the scattered rain of arrows, and quickly rushed to the city wall with cloud ladders.

They followed Liao Hua, their morale was like a rainbow, and they would live and die outside the line, and soon dozens of people died under the arrows.

Dozens of ladders were quickly transported to the bottom of the city, directly rising from the ground and erecting on the city wall.

Liao Hua took the lead, raised the shield with one hand, and began to climb up.

The rest of the elite soldiers also learned a lot, and they all climbed up without fear of death, and they did not retreat!

"Defend! Don't let them come up. ”

Yurov was shocked, he did not expect the enemy's attack to be so fast, and did not give himself a chance to breathe at all.
