Chapter 566: Rushing to the aid of Xuanyuan

The army of Li Yang's army attacking Tiger Prison Pass was the Taishan Army led by Guan Yu.

The Taishan Army was originally stationed outside the Tiger Prison Pass in case Cao Cao raided Yanzhou.

Within two days of receiving Li Yang's order to attack, Guan Yu led his army to launch an attack on Tiger Prison Pass.

This is the condition for Li Yang to negotiate with Guo Yan and Li Dao.

The two sides launched an attack on Cao Cao at the same time, taking advantage of the fact that Cao Cao's main force was not in Si Li!

As for where each side can fight, it depends on their respective abilities.

The guard of the Tiger Prison Pass is Xiahoudun.

Xiahoudun's ability is still very strong, although his subordinates are not many, but they occupy the danger of the Tiger Prison Pass, and still firmly prevent the surprise attack of the Taishan Army.

After the first surprise attack, the Tarzan army did not launch another onslaught, but ordered the army to camp in place and station.

Looking at Xiongguan in front of him, Guan Yu sighed with emotion.

I remember the last time I attacked the Tiger Prison with the army, I was still a pawn, lonely and nameless, and I had no achievements.

Now he is the commander of an army, leading an army of more than 100,000 to attack this pass.

This reminded him of his big brother again!

"Hey~" Yoyo sighed, shook his head, and walked back to his big tent.

"Yun Chang, come quickly!"

A scribe in the account saw Guan Yu walk in, and hurriedly greeted him.

Guan Yu saw the scribe, and his red face put on a smile again, "Yuan Zhi, what's wrong?" ”

This scribe is Xu Shu, he nodded at the sand table in front of him, and said to Guan Yu: "According to the order of the lord, we need to take one of the Tiger Prison Pass and Bishui Pass before we can make the next move. ”

"Xiahoudun, I have talked to him, he has outstanding ability, he is a general, I am afraid it will not be so easy to seize the pass of natural danger from him." Guan Yu frowned, his face solemn.

"Yun Chang doesn't have to worry too much!" Seeing this, Xu Shu hurriedly smiled and said: "The lord has a word, so we don't have to be too anxious, we need to wait for the progress of Guo Yan's side!" ”

Guan Yu nodded, and said, "With Guo Yan and Li Wei, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with Su Qin!" ”

"This is okay, the lord has already arranged it! You and I just have to do our part. ”

In this regard, Guan Yu agrees with himself, his lord and the second general have a very deep strategy, and they must have been arranged a long time ago.

So, the Taishan army camped safely and stationed like this.

During these months, although the siege continued, there were no major siege casualties.

Such a calm battle situation also made Cao Cao a lot more stable.

A boulder in his heart also fell to the ground, and he said in his heart, "Sure enough, Li Yang no longer has so many available soldiers. ’

In the past few months, he led a large army to storm the army left behind by Zhang Hua.

In addition, there was a military horse of hundreds of thousands, but it was detoured to Xihe County, and without the slightest obstacle from the defenders, this army swept north and directly hit the rear of Zhang Hua's left-behind army.

The two flanked and directly ate this force.

The combined forces then marched north, almost unhindered.

When Zhang Hua heard the news, he was naturally angry, and hurriedly ordered Zhang Yan of Wei County to return to the army to defend.

Zhang Yan did not dare to slack off, and led the remaining 200,000 troops to retreat to Huguan and go to Shangdang County to prevent Cao Cao.

The army of Xuanyuan Honglie, who was at war with Zhang Yan, did not lead the army to pursue when Zhang Yan evacuated, because now Zhang Hua's army in Changshan has developed to a million dollars, and the army led by Xuanyuan Honglie himself has been completely unstoppable.

Zhang Hua of Changshan County did not play according to the routine, he besieged Xuanyuan in Changshan Zhending, and directly led the main force to continue to attack other cities.

Zhang Hua's strategy was to feed the war with war, and with the continuous fighting, his forces would not only not decrease, but would gradually increase.

He is also not afraid of entering the enemy's hinterland and running out of supplies, because food, like troops, is fooled or robbed, which is also the reason why he can make Xuanyuan anxious.

To be honest, if Xuanyuan's main force is like this, he really can't look down on these miscellaneous soldiers.

But who said that now he is leading the county soldiers, and there are very few of them.

In the previous few battles, he had already beaten himself with less than 100,000 people left, so he could only hold on to the truth.

Now just wait for Zhang He's 600,000 troops to arrive, and his side can start a counterattack.

That's right, not two hundred thousand, but six hundred thousand.

The news that Xuanyuan Honglie was trapped in Zhending also reached Sima Wenliang's ears, and Sima Wenliang was naturally anxious, so he sent Zhang Liao again to lead more than 400,000 troops to join Zhang He and go north together, one is to attack Zhang Hua, and the other is to rescue Xuanyuan Honglie.

The two abilities and historical records are there, and the ability is proper, and I thought it was a foolproof situation, but suddenly there was a change.

The 600,000-strong army, on the way to Changshan County through Wei County, was ambushed on the border between Zhao County and Julu County.

There were not many enemy troops in ambush, in the eyes of Zhang He and Zhang Liao, but more than 200,000 people.

However, because they marched too eagerly, the soldiers were a little tired and unprepared, so they also suffered great damage, and directly threw the bodies of more than 30,000 people on the spot, but did not even catch a single enemy.

The two knew that this must be to prevent them from rushing to the aid of their lord's troops, which made Zhang He and Zhang Liao angry, and at the same time, the march had to slow down to prevent the next surprise attack.

As it turned out later, Erzhang's decision was correct, and the enemy attacked again, but they underestimated the enemy's combat effectiveness.

The soldiers and horses of the second sneak attack became a cavalry force of more than 20,000.

This cavalry, rushing with a swift momentum, before approaching, shot out a large rain of arrows, killing countless wounds, and then, more than 10,000 rushed out of the formation, directly killing the Xuanyuan army.

After two more crossings of the Xuanyuan army, he joined up with the 10,000 cavalry who were still shooting arrows and fled.

The 600,000-strong army marched for dozens of miles, and when Erzhang led the army over, he could only see the dust of the enemy in the distance.

Although there were not many enemies this time, the casualties of our own army were comparable to the previous casualties.

The previous time it was nearly 200,000 troops, but this time there were only 20,000 cavalry, if the previous cavalry attacked together, then the first time their casualties may increase several times.

The two glanced at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

On the rest of the journey, the two of them traveled more cautiously.

But no matter how they guarded, these 20,000 cavalry would rush out from an unknown place, intercept and kill tens of thousands, and then leave in style.

Erzhangqi's face turned red, and he even wanted to call Ju Yi and Xiandeng over and completely strangle this army, but they were helpless, after all, they were going to rush to the aid of Xuanyuan Honglie, and they had no time to spend here.

By the time they finally reached the border of Changshan County, the 600,000-strong army had already suffered a third of the casualties, and the morale of all the soldiers was low.

Erzhang thought that after entering Changshan, the enemy's sneak attack would probably become more violent, after all, now this Changshan County has almost fallen into the hands of Zhang Hua.

But unexpectedly, the terrifying cavalry never appeared again, and did not even encounter any other sneak attacks.

Although Erzhang was puzzled, this was good news for them, and they resumed their original travel speed and quickly rushed towards Zhending City.

Then, they collided with Zhang Hua's main force who rushed back.

In this way, the main force of Zhang Huajun and Xuanyuan Honglie's reinforcement war officially kicked off.
