The moon is slanting in the west, and the sky is about to dawn. The earth is quiet, and the sky is slightly shining.

Under the light of the stars and moon before dawn, a hurried army was marching on the avenue. In the night wind, the flag moves with the wind, and the word "Wei" is faintly visible.

This is a Wei army of about 10,000 people, led by Captain Hu Xianbei, and the target is directly aimed at Pusaka, an important town in the west of Hedong County. Captain Xianbei is a new general, which is of course also related to the fact that Xianbei is a relatively nascent nation. Don't look at the captain of Xianbei, it sounds like just a captain of a thousand stones, but in fact, the power is not small. Just like the Han Dynasty, there were Wu Huan and Qiang Captains, and their powers included all the affairs of their related ethnic groups.

Captain Wuhuan came from the Xiongnu Zhonglang General, when Emperor Wu, Huo Qubing broke the left land of the Xiongnu, and moved the Wuhuan people to Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaodong and other counties. Set up the Wuhuan school captain, support the festival, rank ratio 2,000 stones, in order to protect the attached Karasuma, support the festival to supervise it, so that it is not allowed to communicate with the Huns, and then in the Huns Lang general. When Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was abolished together with the captain of Huqiang and the captain of Huyue, until the beginning of Zhongxing, Ban Biao said that it was appropriate to restore this official in order to recruit Donghu, but it was reverted to the change. Embrace the festival, to supervise the people, and lead the humble. After Xianbei became bigger, Cao Wei specially set up a captain to protect Xianbei at the time, and he sat in northern Xinjiang with Tian Yu, the captain of Wuhuan.

Although the name of the draw is Hu Xianbei, but almost all of its commands are the Wuhuan cavalry of the three counties, and the mobility is very strong, when the east of the river was attacked by Wang Ping, the far away Taiyuan and the state assassin Shi Liang Xi sent the draw to judge the situation, and did not want to catch the last train of the war.

A few days ago, the lead from the north of Bingzhou and his 20,000 troops appeared unexpectedly under the county seat, and the defenseless defenders were routed in the blink of an eye, and the Wei army took this important town in Hedong County almost bloodlessly. On the third day of attacking the county, Jia Jia came to understand the county with Cao Zhen's handwritten letter and Cao Tai, who joined the army. After reading Cao Zhen's letter, he left 5,000 soldiers and horses to support Anyi, and sent 10,000 troops to attack Pusaka.

As long as the strategic town connecting Guanzhong and Hebei is captured, the Wei army can attack Guanzhong again at any time, just like Xu Huang back then, and no matter how bad it is, it will cut off the road for the Han army to advance eastward. There is no ferry crossing and there is no such thing as a pass, but it is a different thing......

The success of the Battle of Xie County made Cao Tai, who had participated in the defeat of the army, more confident, and he believed that the Han state was completely defenseless against the Bingzhou army, and that Pubanjin would be as easy as Xie County, and he would personally participate in the rare victory in recent years.

The day was about to dawn, and Cao Tai temporarily stationed his war horse next to the galloping brigade. Look at the loud encouragement of the tired soldiers. Seeing his majestic appearance, he couldn't help but sigh, he was like this a year ago, as Cao Zhen's son, Cao Tai did not soar into the sky, but started to experience from the low level, and finally achieved a good position. But there was such a big defeat.

With a sigh, a horse galloped in front of him. It was the vanguard of a Wuhuan commander. Running to the horse that was leading, the commander with a strange hairstyle raised his carved bow and said loudly: "My lord, the scouts have reported that there are not many Han troops in the east city of Pusaka (Pujin Ferry), and it seems that they are completely defenseless. ”

Puban City stands on the Yellow River, and the east bank is the East City. The west bank is the western city, and if you want to seize the Kasakazu ferry, you must first occupy the eastern city.

When he heard this, he waved his hand and said, "God really helps me Dawei." The order was given, and the whole army accelerated its march and must arrive in the eastern city before dawn. ”

When the order was laid, the 10,000 Wei troops ran faster, and they would roll up the dust in the sky and gallop towards the eastern city of Pusaka like a wolf and a tiger, leaving only traces of smoke and dust to prove that they had come.

When the first rays of morning glow rose and illuminated the lonely city on the east bank of the Yellow River, the sandstorm from the north was clearly visible.

The 10,000 Wei army was menacing, and when the first morning glow rose, they killed under the eastern city of Puban.

By the dawn of dawn, I took the lead and looked at the east city of Puban a few miles away, and saw that the flags at the head of the city were scattered, and there were not many soldiers patrolling the city, and the city gate that had just been opened, there seemed to be a few scattered figures dangling, which should be cleaning the road.

"General, the thief army is unaware, it's really God helping me Dawei" Cao Tai came over and shouted excitedly.

He looked at the tower carefully for a moment, but he didn't notice anything unusual, Han Jun and Wang Ping really didn't notice it. It is also said that Wang Ping is just a partial army, how can he observe this situation and the movement of the north, if he can really be detected, Wang Ping is not just Wang Ping.

Seeing this, he drew his sword and shouted: "Order the whole army to start attacking the city, and those who enter the enemy city first will be rewarded with a thousand cattle and sheep." ”

Cao Tai was not very familiar with the attack methods of the Wuhuan cavalry and the somewhat inexplicable reward methods for him, but this did not prevent him from wanting to take revenge. "General, the last general is invited to fight!!"

Zhao Zhao looked at Cao Tai, who was a lap younger than Cao Ren, with a lot of contact with Cao Ren, and knew Cao Ren's bravery, seeing that his eldest son was just as brave as he was 'thin', and he grinned so much that he smiled. "Great! Go ahead!! ”

At the sound of the desolate horn, the two of them led three thousand vanguard troops to blast out and slaughtered towards the defenseless Pusaka Castle.

Although the soldiers were exhausted after a night's march, they mustered up all their strength and shouted to kill the enemy city, inspired by the 'heavy reward'.

Perhaps because it was early in the day, the patrol army at the head of the city did not discover the enemy's movement in time, and when they were frightened to discern that it was not the wind and dust that came to the scene, but the enemy of countless tigers and wolves, it was too late, and the Wei army had already killed the moat in a blink of an eye.

Seeing the enemy, he was shocked that the drawbridge was not allowed to be put down, and the city gate was not closed, as long as he worked harder, he could successfully rush into the city gate.

But the commander was not so reckless, and he shouted, "Flying!" ”

Flying shooting -- is a kind of mounted archery, and it is the most commonly used tactics of the Wuhuan cavalry. With an order, countless Wuhuan knights in the gallop took out their curved bows from their crotches, drew their bows and arrows, and shot at the already deserted city wall as if they were arrayed.

Suddenly the arrows rained down, and it was still the same kind of showers, one after another. The Wuhuan knight was divided into two rounds, the first round was the first shot of more than 1,000 people, and then he slowed down to wash and draw the bow, and the cavalry behind took advantage of the situation to shoot at the city wall, so that the back and forth was called flying shooting.

The rapid rain of arrows almost swept away the city head that there were few people in the first place, but with half a pillar of incense, Cao Tai rushed into the city gate cave with a big sword in his hand, and then three thousand Wuhuan cavalry followed.

Wang Ping is also unlucky, at this time he is resting in a mansion in the city, half-asleep and half-awake to hear the sound of shouting and killing, just open his eyes and hear the urgent report of the guards, the Wei army has invaded the city, the east city has been lost, and now most of the Wei army is killing towards the west city.

Pujin Ferry is located in the east of the Yellow River, so the west of Pugao City is the ferry, the purpose of the Wei army is self-evident is to seize the ferry, otherwise the Han army dog jumped over the wall and burned the boat all the way, and the fish died and the net was broken.

But will Wang Ping choose to die and break the net? The answer is no, as a native of Yizhou, he went to Chang'an to join Cao Cao, and after the battle of Hanzhong, he turned to Liu Bei, Wang Ping is not a person who can give up his life for the sake of the festival, it can be said that he is a general who is eager to make contributions, but such people are generally afraid of death.

When it was learned that the Wei army had entered the city, the battle situation was out of control. Wang Ping decisively abandoned the eastern city of Pugao, gathered the remnants of the army and ran directly to the ferry, set up the only few warships and prepared to cross the river, not caring whether the Wei army would attack Guanlong. Wang Ping's evacuation left the Wei army with an intact eastern city, as well as a number of ships, which can be said to have left the Wei army with the only springboard to attack the Guanlong area.
