Chapter 622: The ambition of unifying Hebei

The trial ordered someone to lead the army to attack the city, but didn't you know that whether it was behind the army or behind the camp, Zhang Fei and Zhang Yan had already led troops to surround it. The two did not order people to attack the city directly, but first ordered the generals to rest and recuperate.

The two of them led the army on a rapid march, and after running hard for so long, the physical strength of the soldiers naturally consumed a lot. Take a rest first, recover your strength, and wait for Yuan Shang to fight with the adults for a period of time, and then lead the troops to attack the rear of the enemy army.

For Yuan Shang's siege of the city, Zhang Fei and Zhang Yan didn't care about it, and they knew Zhao Fei's ability very well, so they didn't worry about it. What's more, Zhao Fei commanded an army of 40,000, even if Yuan Shang had the ability, it would be difficult to make a difference in a short period of time.

Sure enough, Yuan Shang ordered people to work hard for an hour, but they still failed to conquer Liyang City. This is unexpected, his strategy has not worked at all, he has worked hard for so long, but there is a peaceful atmosphere in Liyang City, and there is no resistance from the people.

In fact, the trial of this move really overestimated Yuan Jun's prestige, for the people, their idea is very simple, save their lives immediately. In troubled times, it is not easy to save their lives, how can they fight for Yuan Jun.

After Cao Jun entered the city, he treated the people very well, and the only thing that made the people feel unhappy was that Zhao Fei forced the people to defend the city in disguise. But afterwards, Zhao Fei fulfilled his promise that day, and every citizen who climbed the city wall got the money he deserved.

Cao Jun kept his promise so much, how could the people not want their lives to fight Cao Jun. Although the people didn't know why Zhao Fei let him pretend to be Cao Jun, they also knew that Cao Jun's strength was not comparable to that of ordinary armies.

The siege was unfavorable, and the trial wanted to order people to collect the troops. After all, today's events have exceeded the expectations of the trial, and the bravery of Cao Jun on Liyang City has already made the trial begin to feel suspicious.

How to say, there are only thousands of Cao troops in Liyang City. However, Yuan's army had been storming for two whole days, and they hadn't even taken down the city wall. Yesterday, the Cao army lost thousands of soldiers, and today, it is obviously more tragic than yesterday, but there is no way to shake Liyang City, and it is impossible to suspect it.

Even if Cao Jun is really strong in combat, it is not so strong. Could it be that all the soldiers of the Cao army are beaten with iron, and they don't know how to write the word fatigue at all, otherwise how could they rely on so many thousands of soldiers to defend such a crazy attack of the self-army.

However, now Yuan Shang has reached the stage of madness today, and after attacking for so long, the Liyang City Wall has always been in danger, but he has never succeeded in attacking it. Yuan Shang was already angry, no matter how much loss he spent today, he would also conquer Liyang City.

"My lord, this is not appropriate!" The judge said in a deep voice. The trial hopes to take a second look, there is a little weirdness in Liyang City, which makes the trial faintly feel that there is a big conspiracy hidden in Liyang City, so the trial does not want Yuan Shang to be so arbitrary.

However, Yuan Shang at this moment can no longer listen to it, his purpose is to conquer Liyang City today, no matter what kind of price he pays. And it was Yuan Shang's decision that put his 40,000 army into a desperate situation.

After resting for a while, Zhang Yan felt that the time had finally come, Yuan Shang had attacked Liyang City so strongly, and now the war between the two armies had entered a stalemate. At this time, the attack should be the best time, and there is Zhang Fei's flank, Zhang Yan can't think about it without making meritorious contributions.

Tightly clenching the long knife in his hand, Zhang Yan pointed his blade at Yuan Jun not far away, and then shouted a charge.

Zhang Yan's army roared and rushed towards Yuan Shang's army, and Zhang Fei also responded to Zhang Yan at the same time and launched an attack on Yuan Shang's camp.

The sudden blow made Yuan Jun panic suddenly, and Cao Jun attacked on three fronts. At the same time as Zhang Yan and Zhang Fei attacked, the Cao army in Liyang City also launched a strong counterattack against Yuan's army, all of which made Yuan Shang not know what to do.

"What should we do, sir?" Cao Jun was like a big hand, and his 40,000 army was tightly nested in the palm of his hand. Now that he is a caged bird, as long as Cao Jun works harder, Zijun may be caught to death by Cao Jun, pinching himself to death, leaving no room for himself, at this time Yuan Shang is really panicked, Yuan Shang himself lacks experience, how did he experience such a cruel war, and his performance at this moment is normal.

Hearing Yuan Shang's words, the trial was also a little flustered. However, he knows better than Yuan Shang that now that the army has been defeated, and there may be some room for redemption in withdrawing the army. He hurried to Yuan Shang's side and then ordered the withdrawal of his troops.

Hearing the order to withdraw, Yuan Jun frantically retreated to the rear. How could Zhang Yan let go of such a good opportunity and commanded nearly 30,000 soldiers under his command to chase after Yuan's army.

Yuan Jun wanted to withdraw to the camp, but Yuan's camp was also in chaos. The fire rose into the sky and drowned most of it. Seeing this, Yuan Shang was even more surprised, and at the same time, he was also afraid.

There were many unexpected things, the gate of Liyang City slowly opened, and a group of Cao soldiers rushed towards Yuan Jun.

Now the Yuan army is at the end of the road, the sudden attack of the Cao army so that the Yuan army has no chance to resist, the encirclement of the Cao army is completed, the Cao army of more than 50,000 people, the encirclement of the Yuan army of nearly 40,000 people is obviously easy.

Zhao Fei would not let Yuan Jun have any intention of fighting trapped beasts, the most important thing is that the 40,000 army under Yuan Shang's command is relatively weak in combat effectiveness, but if Yuan Jun really does the battle of trapped beasts, the weak soldiers will also burst out with unimaginable combat effectiveness.

Hearing that Cao Jun was going to surrender by himself, many soldiers of Yuan Jun threw away their weapons one after another. Now the form is clear, the combat effectiveness of the Cao army is so strong, and the Cao army has defeated Yuan Shang's 40,000 army so easily today, it must not be long before the entire Hebei is the territory of the Cao army.

Yuan Shang no longer knew where he had gone, and he was also surrounded by Cao's legions, and if he didn't surrender, he would only die.

Yuan Shang, under the protection of the trial and hundreds of guards, finally broke out of the encirclement of the Cao army. Fortunately, there is a judge who has been taking care of Yuan Shang on the side, otherwise I really don't know what will happen to Yuan Shang.

The defeat in this battle was too big a blow to Yuan Shang, and he was full of confidence that day, but now there are only hundreds of people around him, such a huge gap, it is obviously normal for Yuan Shang to have such a performance.

However, the trial is also a little worried, worried that Yuan Shang will collapse. But now I think that no one can use these things, and now I still want to think about how to escape from this place and return to Yecheng safely.

The trial is also very confused, what can be done when returning to Yecheng, and now the entire Hebei army has been defeated by the Cao army. The army of 40,000 has been completely buried in Zhao Fei's hands, and he will find so many soldiers there to compete with Cao's army.

Don't say that there is no Jizhou, I am afraid that there are not so many soldiers in the whole of Hebei. In the first battle of Liyang City, the entire Hebei was crippled by Cao's army. Yuan Xi, who came out of Youzhou, was better, only losing tens of thousands of steps.

But so what, Yuan Xi has lost his self-confidence by Cao Jun's beating, and he obviously will not continue to send troops to aid Jizhou, so now Jizhou has reached the point of exhaustion.

"Lord, lord!" The judge shouted twice, which brought Yuan Shang back to his senses.

"Sir, how is it now?" Yuan Shang was obviously a little distracted just now, and he obviously didn't know what was going on at this time. It seems that Yuan Shang was really frightened just now, making him a little broken.

"Rest assured, my lord, we have escaped from the encirclement of Cao's army, so we are safe for the time being." The judge comforted, and then he ordered someone to help Yuan Shang come down and rest for a while. Now that it's safe, there shouldn't be any problem with taking a break.

Yuan Shang was helped off the horse tremblingly, and his expression was gloomy at this time. Seeing Yuan Shang's expression, the judge made him shake his head secretly. This battle dealt a big blow to Yuan Shang, and the judge didn't know how to comfort him, not only Yuan Shang was sad, but his guards also looked gloomy. Everyone knows the meaning of this battle, victory is life, defeat is death. Now that the defeat of the Yuan army is so miserable, all the soldiers of the Yuan army know that Jizhou is in danger.

At this time, in Liyang City, Zhao Fei sat on the main seat of the banquet hall of the General's Mansion with a smile. The battle of Liyang was no less than that of Guandu, and it was definitely a strategic victory for Cao's army. Guandu's defeat of Yuan's army was to crush Yuan Shao's conspiracy, and Liyang's defeat of Yuan Shang was the prelude to the unification of Hebei.

Now the whole of Hebei is completely free of forces hostile to Cao's army, and Bingzhou is already in flames. **The news of his death was transmitted back to Bingzhou, and the entire Bingzhou was plunged into war, and even Yuan Xi did not let go of this opportunity and intervened.

And Yuan Shang is not to mention, now that Yuan Shang is newly defeated, he gathered the last strength of Jizhou and let go of the 40,000 army that was captured by himself, and the remaining half either died or escaped in chaos.

Yuan Shang was no longer his opponent at all, and after solving the problem of prisoners, Zhao Fei would directly lead the army to attack Yecheng. After breaking Yecheng, the entire Jizhou is the place where Cao Jun is governed. In the future, Zhao Fei will point to the state and point directly to the state.

Judging from the situation of the merged states, it is obviously very easy to win the merged states.

"Zhang Yan's credit for the victory in this battle is the greatest, and after our army returns to Xuchang victoriously, I will definitely want to ask the prime minister for the general!" Zhao Fei looked at Zhao Fei with a smile. Zhao Fei was obviously very happy to win this battle.

"What did the adults say, I am a member of the Cao Army, and it is really right to serve the Cao Army!" Zhang Yan got up and said. Zhao Fei said this, which obviously made Zhang Yan very happy, with Zhao Fei's words, his career path can be very good. Zhao Fei is the second-in-command of Cao's army, and now Zhao Fei has defeated the Hebei Third Route Army, and Cao's army is just around the corner to get involved in Hebei.

After taking Hebei, the Cao army is equivalent to taking half of the world, and then the Cao army can look down on all the princes as a hegemon. Taking Hebei, the strength of the Cao army has risen sharply, and the combat effectiveness of the Cao army is already elite, I am afraid that it will not be long before the whole world is in the pocket of the Cao army, and he can also become the founder of the country, and finally get rid of the notoriety of bandits.
