"There are nearly 20,000 Sizhou troops in the city, if you break through, how can you only see the number in front of you? This is to send a part back to Sizhou to explore the truth! After a few blinks of an eye, Gao Ran understood, but today he attacked the city for the second time, and all the foot soldiers were prepared at the camp gate, and just now he ordered them to form a formation, and it was impossible for anyone to intercept the place where the Sizhou army broke the camp, and there were only some obstacles left.

"Kill!"

If you weren't preparing to attack the city, how could you easily let that Sizhou army get away? Gao Ran waved his hand hatefully and led the foot soldiers out - those who can't stop the camp from leaving, it is also a great achievement to be able to leave the group entangled with the Euphorbia!

Zhang Liao waved his halberd, and again and again clashed with horses into the most dense place of the halberd, shouting at the soldiers to keep the formation while fighting hard. The Euphorbia cavalry also did not show weakness, and refused to retreat half a step.

Two strangulation and a few back and forth, the gap in martial arts between the sergeants is not too big, but the Sizhou soldiers are more skilled and confident in cooperating with each other, and the weapons and armor are more sophisticated.

Guo Yixiao's kung fu to penetrate the Yuan army's camp, the halberd soldiers lost nearly 300 people, and Zhang Liaobu lost more than 100 horsemen!

Gao Ran led the foot soldiers to approach, Sun Guan had already gone, and there was no need to stay here.

Zhang Liao commanded the troops to fight and retreat, neither completely detached from the halberds, nor let the foot soldiers bite it. I only hate today's robes, and the body cannot be recovered.

When Bu Dugen led Xianbei to ride to Dongying, Zhang Liao's department had retreated to the moat, with the help of archers on the city wall, and he was even more invincible. Calmly retreat into the city of the eldest son.

——

Chen Liu.

In the dim moonlight, Liu Ye, who was wearing a cloak, hurried to Cao Cao's bedroom.

"Who? Stop! ”

It was Cao Xiu who was in charge of the guards tonight, and he lowered his voice from afar to stop asking.

Cao Cao has always been a light sleeper. The guards around the bedroom are also very tight. Since Liu Ye, the great Han clan, came to vote, in order to reflect the measurement of eclectic talents, Cao Cao has used him very much, but he does not dare to approach his residence at will.

is that among the close people surnamed Xiahou Cao, there is only one Xiahou who has the privilege to enter and leave Cao A's bedroom at will.

"Yes, I annoyed Lao Wenlie to inform Cao Gong, and I have to report it urgently!"

"But Liu Ziyang? And I got up. ”

He was more than twenty steps away from the bedroom. However, there is no need to announce, Cao Cao, who heard a slight noise, has already woken up. Then a woman vaguely asked, "Do you need to hold the lamp?" ”

Everyone outside the house heard Cao Cao reply: "No need! The summer night is very warm, just take a certain long coat. ”

After a while, Cao Cao pushed the door out with his hair draped wide, and saw Liu Ye bowing his head and eyebrows. Respectfully waiting beside him, he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Ye said in a hurried and excited voice: "In return, Ma Chao, Pang De, Yang Qiu colluded with Han Sui to rebel, and Jiang Xu, Zhao Qu, Liyi and others have been executed!" Yan Xing led the defeat and took Ji County, and the rebels fell into the warrior Jincheng for several days, and Liangzhou was in chaos! ”

"Liangzhou?" Cao Cao was a little stunned, and it took a while before he came back to his senses, and danced with his hands: "Liangzhou!" Deng thief, Deng thief! You are going to die this day! ”

"The Ma family is also a tiger and a wolf!" Haha laughed. Still a little incredulous, he turned around and asked, "Really?" ”

Liu Ye hesitated, and after a while he confessed: "Ye doesn't know." As soon as he got the reward, he was overjoyed and anxious, so he presented it to the public, or there was something untrue, and he hoped that the public would forgive his sins! If there is a report on one or two days. When you can determine whether it is true or false! ”

"What is the sin? Such a big event, it is expected to be fake! Cao Cao paced back and forth excitedly. After a long time, he exclaimed: "I didn't know it at the beginning, so I should give everything I have and strive to go south!" ”

Without waiting for Liu Ye to express his opinion, Cao Cao said categorically: "If the heavens want to destroy the Deng thief, how can they wait for Yuan Benchu to break the party?" ”

Turning his head to Cao Xiu: "Hurry up and summon the strategists' mansion to discuss matters!" ”

Before, it was necessary to wait for Yuan Shao to take the lead, but at this time, the soldiers were very fast, regardless of the late night, and summoned Xun's uncle and nephew Guo Jia and others into the palace overnight, and agreed that no matter whether it was true or not, the armies should assemble as quickly as possible, go to Yingchuan Yangzhai to join Xiahoudun, and then enter Liang County and take Henan.

Seven years ago, Cao Cao attacked the Bishui Pass once, and the memory of Deng Ji's bow guards guarding the Xiongguan Pass is very profound, but he doesn't want to go through it again, so he can only enter Henan through Liang County.

The assembly of Cao's army was far less rapid than that of the Sizhou army, although there was already a ration for soldiers in Yangzhaitun earlier, but it was only a part, and it took time to gather the sergeants and recruit the livestock and the people, and when the various departments were ready, two days had passed since Chen Liu's departure.

After two days of hard work, there were several rebellions in Liangzhou that were reported in detail, and Cao Cao was able to conclude that Deng Ji's backyard was on fire, and he was urging him to go on the road.

So Cheng Yu, Cao Hong and Zhang Yang stayed in Chenliu, and the rest of the civil and military forces went to Yingchuan.

The army was more than ten miles away from the city, and Xiahoudun had sent a fast horse to report to: the Sizhou army left the country, and the soldiers surrounded Yangzhai, and the attack was very urgent, so they asked for help as soon as possible.

Cao Cao hurriedly ordered the three armies to march in a hurry, and wanted to make the cavalry go first, and go to aid Yang Zhai in the starry night.

After Guo Jia thought about it, he was shocked and hurriedly persuaded Cao Cao: "Stop!" Ming Gong, this Deng Mu'an is eager to withdraw from our army first, and then calm the rebellion in Liangzhou! ”

This is not unusual, Cao Cao still didn't realize it: "Deng Ji wants to defeat our army first, and then defeat Yuan Shaoping and Ma Chao, but if it doesn't work out, Sizhou should change hands!" This is just an urgent rush to save the yuan, cheap and cool force! ”

The strategists were still in a state of joy, and Xin Ping even said: "If it weren't for this, Sizhou would not be easy to take, and this Deng Muan would have taken his own death!" ”

"Definitely! Definitely! Guo Jia hurriedly explained: "Deng Jiwei Yang Zhai, ** is false, I am afraid that we are in the Chinese army!" ”

Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others woke up - Sizhou soldiers are expensive, and it is not easy to attack the city, and when this is critical, even if the army of Yang Zhai Xiahou is broken, Cao Cao's main force will not be damaged, and he can still hold back the soldiers and horses of Henan.

No matter what the Yangzhai war is, it has not changed in the overall situation.

Sizhou is the best at field warfare, and the soldiers are just a pretense to surround Yang Zhaiding, so what is the real intention?

This is not difficult to guess, and there is no need to confirm - at this time, since he chose to send troops to Yingchuan, only by defeating the army of Chen Liu, killing Cao Cao had no enterprising strength, Deng Ji could free up his hands to deal with other enemies.

The 30,000 military horses set off by Chen Liu, mainly foot soldiers, only cared about the speed of the soldiers, and galloped all the way, thinking about stepping into the ambush of the Sizhou military horses, the appearance of the conflict, Cao Cao Xun Yu and others were all creepy!

"Fortunately, Feng Xiao saw through it!" Cao Cao wiped his cold sweat: "Otherwise, we will be in danger!" ”

No wonder Guo Jia is the most relied on among the strategists, and everyone respects him at this time.

Previously, after the news of Chad's Ma Chao's rebellion, he only cared about entering the army in a frenzy, and when Guo Jia woke up and calmed down, there was no shortage of resourceful people to deal with it. Xu You first said: "Yang Zhai is the rule of Yingchuan County, not a small county can be compared, the city is strong, Xiahou Yuan will lead 10,000 troops, if he does not save it, Deng Mu'an will not be able to break it for a while!" Liangzhou is anti, urgent and imminent, not public! If you can't make meritorious contributions, the Sizhou army will retreat within a few days, and the public will order Yuan to stick to it! ”

"Yang Zhai is broken, it has nothing to do with the overall situation," Xun Yu reminded: "Then the land is stocked with grain!" ”

Since the beginning of the soldiers and the common people, Cao Cao is no longer short of food, but the period before the autumn harvest is not very rich, if Yang Zhai is taken by Deng Ji, he can only rely on the military rations brought by the Chinese army, which is only enough to support 30,000 military horses for a month.

Cao Cao is not afraid of this: "Henan has plenty of grain!" If you can enter Henan, why worry? ”

Cao Cao ordered all the armies to slow down and send more scouts along the way, and the destination was no longer Yangzhai, but to Xuchang east of Yingyang and Yingyin.

This is to tell Deng Ji that even if Yang Zhai is broken, I can still rely on Xuchang Jiancheng to defend, and Yingchuan cannot be taken lightly.

The army went on the road again, and Cao Cao sent an envoy to tell Xiahoudun, so that he could defend himself, and when he could not hold on, he could lead the cavalry to retreat to Xuchang, and the infantry army could abandon it.

——

Yang Zhai.

Groups of soldiers left their horses and rushed to the gates of the city walls.

The archers of the Archery Colonel lined up behind the running soldiers, suppressing the defenders on the city walls with hard bows and arrows, covering the siege of the city.

A row of ladders was erected up the tower, and many soldiers rushed to climb up, but it was not long before the defenders braved arrows and pushed down with forks.

"Phew!"

Spit out a mouthful of stuffy blood in his chest, Hao Zhao looked at the solid city wall in front of him with hatred.

When he climbed the ladder before, when he was about to reach the bottom of the female wall, a piece of falling rolling wood rubbed on him, scraping him to the ground, and he fell very lightly.

Hao Zhao was lucky, at least he saved his life, and today it was his turn to attack the city with his halberd cavalry school, and more than 400 people were injured in two waves.

Yesterday, when Gong Du of the Dangkou army attacked the city, Gong Du led several soldiers to successfully climb the city wall, but unfortunately he was soon surrounded by the defenders, several soldiers died in battle, Gong Du jumped off the wall at the last moment, fortunately fell on the corpse and did not fall to death, only broke a leg.

In order to grab time, the Sizhou army came in a hurry, the preparation for the siege of Yang Zhai was very insufficient, there were only a few rushing cars to attack the city gate, and they could only rely on the ladder to attack.

The cavalry attacked the city, lacking the protection of shields, and even with fish scale armor, there were still great casualties.

During the five days of siege, the three armies suffered nearly 4,000 casualties, more than half of whom were killed.

It is extremely uneconomical for the precious elite cavalry to be wasted in such a battle, but the current Sizhou army has no other choice.

If you don't attack Xiahou and be in a hurry, how can you attract Cao Cao's army?

At this time, the two ladders on the women's wall were pushed down by several defenders with fork poles, and a hundred people under Hao Zhaoxiao fell down all the climbers led by a chief, and two soldiers were moaning on the ground, and they could no longer get up by their own strength.

"Woo! Woo! Woo! ”

Beckoning someone to rescue the wounded away, Hao Zhao didn't care about his injuries, and when he was about to lead people in person again with red eyes, a few short horns of retreating soldiers finally sounded in the rear.

Stomping his feet on the ground fiercely, Hao Zhao had to wave his hand: "Withdraw the army!" (To be continued)
