Chapter 578: Attacking Yanzhou

Just as Zhuge Liang was seizing Huainan, Lu Bu suddenly launched a fierce attack on Yanzhou. The attacking troops included the Longtao Army, the Hussar Corps, the Luoyang Army and the Pingnan Army, four regular corps, more than 200,000 barbarian troops, with a total strength of more than 600,000, while the Cao army guarding Yangzhou had 460,000 people, of which 210,000 were regular troops, and the other 250,000 were the civilian army that had just been incorporated into the regular army, and 460,000 soldiers and horses relied on Jinchi Tangcheng for defense. Lu Bu's army attacked fiercely for two days in a row, paying the price of nearly 10,000 casualties but not making the slightest progress.

Then LΓΌ Bu's army stopped the attack. The soldiers of the Cao army thought that the city of LΓΌ Bu's army in Yanzhou was strong and resisted, and they were cowardly. However, Sima Yi frowned and said, "Looking at the offensive of Lu Bu's army in the past two days, it is obvious that they have been preparing for a long time... Prepared so well and aggressively attacked, it didn't make sense to fight for two days and give up halfway..."

Cao Pi nodded and asked, "What does Mr. think Lu Bu has in the end?" ”

Sima Yi pondered: "The reason why Yuzhou was lost before was because Lu Bu's army dug tunnels and entered the city, and it was necessary to prevent them from repeating their old tricks... Command the gates of each city to bury the vats in the ground next to the walls, and send men day and night to listen to the movements, and report at once if there is any sound of excavation..."

Cao Pi thought so, and immediately ordered people to send orders to the four city gates.

……

That night, Xu You led Han Meng and his three thousand soldiers and horses to the north city gate. The captain of the city gate saw many horses coming in the dark shadows, and hurriedly shouted, "Who is it?" ”

Xu You responded: "It's me, Xu You." ”

The captain saw Xu You's face by the light of the torch, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "The villain greets the adult." I wonder why adults came here all of a sudden? ”

Xu You looked up at the city wall that was waiting for him, and said, "I came to inspect the city defense on the orders of the lord. Nothing, right? Xiaowei hurriedly clenched her fists and said, "There is no situation." ”

Xu You nodded, looked around, and said to Han Meng, "You go up and have a look." Han Meng clenched his fists and promised, and immediately led two thousand people along the wall ladder to the city wall. Xu You suddenly looked at the back of the captain with a look of surprise, and pointed, "What is that?" The lieutenant subconsciously turned his head away, but saw nothing, and then felt that his chest was pierced by a sharp blade... The captain was shocked, turned his head, and saw Xu Youzheng holding a steel knife with a hideous face..."You ......"

Xu You kicked away the captain, raised his knife and shouted: "Do it..."The soldiers around him immediately attacked, and slashed at the Cao soldiers at the city gate, and the Cao soldiers were caught off guard, and they all fell in a pool of blood in a blink of an eye. At the same time, Han Meng also captured the city gate tower, killed all the soldiers on the city gate tower, and then ordered people to raise the iron gate...

When Xu You saw the iron gate rise, he immediately ordered someone to remove the latch and push the gate open.

The city gate was opened, and outside the gate of the black hole, countless torches were lit up at once, like a long star, and the 'formation' converged into a torrent and poured into the city...

The sound of the alarm bell in Yanzhou was loud, and Cao Pi and the two concubines who accompanied him woke up. Seeing the fire flickering outside the window, and hearing the mighty killing sound from far and near, I couldn't help but feel fear in my heart.

Cao Pi hurriedly got out of bed, put on his clothes and pants on the bed, and rushed out of the bedroom. As soon as he came out, he met Sima Yi who was rushing towards him. Without waiting for Cao Pi to ask, Sima Yi hurriedly said, "Oh no, lord... Xu You's fight with foreign enemies opened the north gate, and Lu Bu's army has already entered the city..."

Cao Pi was stunned, and then scolded: "Xu Yupiff... I swear to kill you..."

Sima Yi said urgently: "Now is not the time to worry about this, the top priority is to get out of danger and preserve your strength... I have ordered a part of the newly formed army to go and fight, and at the same time ordered the other large forces to retreat quickly, the lord hastened to withdraw, it will be too late..."

Cao Pi nodded, ignoring the two concubines in the room who were still intimate with him not long ago, and left in a hurry with Sima Yi.

The two concubines expected that things were not good, so they hurriedly put on their dresses and went out, wanting to flee with Cao Pi, but Cao Pi was missing. At this time, the terrible sound of killing had already arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the two women were so frightened that their faces were pale, and the younger one said: "Sister, I heard that Lu Bujun has strict military discipline and will never kill the people and surrender the army. At this moment, the soldiers are in chaos, and it is really dangerous to run around, so it is better to surrender Lu Bu..."The elder Zheng Liushen had no master, and when she heard that her sister made sense, she quickly nodded and agreed. The two girls then knelt outside the room and waited for Lu Bujun to arrive, although they had already made up their minds, they were still very uneasy in their hearts.

A moment later, the sound of horses' hooves appeared at the arch in front, and the two women subconsciously looked up, only to see a powerful general leading a large group of cavalry rushing in. The two women were extremely nervous, and hung their heads down, waiting for fate to come. The two girls didn't know at the moment that the mighty general they saw was actually the legendary mighty general Lu Bu.

Zhang Lang led the guards of the Tiger Ben Army to the two women, glanced around, and asked the two women, "Who are you?" ”

The older woman was too frightened to speak, and trembled incessantly; The young woman hurriedly bowed down and said, "We are Prime Minister Cao's Kabuki." The prime minister fled and left us all behind. ”

Zhang Lang immediately asked, "Where did Cao Pi flee?" ”

The young woman straightened up, pointed to a side door behind her, and said, "I went from there, I don't know where I went..."

Zhang Lang immediately ordered Wang Yi beside him: "You lead a team of female soldiers to stay, no one is allowed to leave without my permission, and no one is allowed to come in without my permission..."

Zhang Lang immediately led Dong Ying and other pro-army generals to lead the tiger Ben pro-army to chase in the direction of Cao Pi's escape.

At this moment, Lu Bu's army, which had entered the heavy load, broke through the enemy in front of them one after another, and scattered around to occupy the key departments.

Zhang Lang led his men to chase to the East City Gate, but did not catch up with Lu Bu, and learned from the captives that Cao's army had withdrawn from the East Gate. Immediately said to Dong Ying: "Yingying, you sit in Yanzhou for me...", turned his head and said to Xiao Long: "Immediately transfer Huang Zhong's hussar army to me... Hurry..."Xiao Long clenched his fists and promised, turned the horse's head and beat the horse and galloped.

Soon after, Huang Zhong led a 100,000 hussar corps to feel the East City Gate, and Zhang Lang led the 100,000 hussar corps out of the East City Gate to pursue Cao Pi without saying a word.

100,000 war horses rushed out, caught up with the tens of thousands of Cao troops who fell behind, and immediately launched a charge... Before the battle was engaged, Cao Jun, who was already flustered, had already messed up on his own...
