Chapter 1338 Puyang changed hands and retreated to Bai

The battle of Puyang can only be described as dull, not that the battle is not fierce, but the battle is decent, both sides are fighting with the most stable way of fighting, the city is naturally a river of blood, every day Puyang City is surrounded by choking smoke, both sides die in the battle every day more than 3,000 soldiers.

After holding out for seven or eight days, the Iron Army finally couldn't hold on, the key is that the task completion rate on the Iron Army's side is getting lower and lower, this is like a balance, when it starts to be unbalanced, the speed of imbalance will be faster and faster.

Whether in the eyes of the members of the Iron Army or in the eyes of other players, Puyang's loss is only a matter of time.

As the saying goes, trapped beasts are still fighting, the more at this time, the more cautious Yuan Shao becomes, Puyang is too important to Yuan Shao, as long as Puyang takes, Yuan Shao's supply route can be greatly shortened, and Jiyin County, which was originally lonely, can be connected with Hebei through Dongjun, and the entire strategic situation will be stable.

In order to avoid the death of the Iron Army to cause too much loss to himself, Yuan Shao deliberately vacated the west side of Puyang, playing a siege of three missing one, but quietly placed a cavalry in the camp near the west side, as long as the Iron Army really dared to go out of the city, Yuan Shao would take the city with one hand and send cavalry to beat the water dogs with the other.

However, Song Hufeng is not stupid to that extent, besides, it is obviously not so easy to play such a superficial trick under the nose of the player.

On the night of February 27, the 11th year of Guangxi, the late night of early spring was still very clear, and the smell of blood and smoke of the day's battle was still in the air.

The soldiers who had fought all day were tired, and the city and outside seemed very quiet, except for the faint sound of the horses' hooves of scouts, only the light sound of the wind blowing the blades of grass, and the grass that had just sprouted under the starlight gently trembled. It seems to dance with the night wind.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Dangdang"

"Woohoo! ~”

"Boom~"

The rapid and piercing alarm shattered the calm night, and the Iron Army commando team that slipped out of the city wall quietly suddenly raided the camp on the west side of Yuan Shao, although they were still discovered when they approached, but these commandos were all composed of players, and their attack and defense capabilities were quite strong, using the cover of skill volleys. They rushed under the fence, and then countless oil canisters were thrown directly into the camp by their hands.

Yuan Shaojun was caught off guard, and more importantly, this was originally the camp where Yuan Shao hid his cavalry, and in order to hide the existence of the war horses, Yuan Shao put the war horses into the big tent. So there were a lot of tents and forage in this camp, and now a fire was burning, and with the wind fueling the fire, the fire in the camp gradually became out of control.

"Quick, take the horses out, and drive them to the rear camp.1

"Beware of startling horses1

"The sword and shield soldiers assembled, and they went out of camp through the north gate.1

The Iron Commando attacked the north. Because tonight it was a north wind, of course, even if it wasn't a north wind, they would have attacked the north gate.

"Traps, traps around the camp gates! Fast 1

"At any cost, block the other party's north gate 1

At the same time as the assault team launched the attack, the west gate of Puyang City opened. Amid the rumbling sound of war horses, the cavalry of the brigade rushed along the road to the west towards White Horse City.

It turned out that the goal of these commandos was to block the door so that their troops could escape smoothly.

The cavalry was followed by the infantry, which was probably the defender of the city.

Yuan Shao received the news, and the lingering drowsiness disappeared without a trace.

"Cavalry? Cavalry? Not cavalry, dragoons. Was it their heavy infantry, ran? And what about our cavalry? ”

"The western camp was set on fire, and the horses were frightened and stormed the camp. Coupled with the fact that the Inhumans are blocking the door and delaying time, we can't catch up? ”

"The infantry behind must be the defenders of the city, quick, the whole army set out to pursue 1

"No1

"Wait, come back! Command the troops, assemble the whole army and immediately attack the city1

"No1

"Lord 1

"Zhengnan, Yuantu, came just right, Zhengnan immediately led Pan Feng and the headquarters to attack the city, be careful of traps when entering the city, Yuantu, you go to the West Camp with the official to have a look, where is Ziyuan?"

"Probably still asleep drunk1

"Humph! Ignore him1

When Yuan Shao came to the West Camp with the guards and Jiang Yiqu, the fire in the West Camp had been extinguished, the cavalry had completed the assembly, and the small troops had been embellished with the moving Iron Army infantry!

"What about the losses?"

Lu Weihuang, who had a smoky face, replied a little timidly: "Lord, the loss of personnel is not large, but the war horses have scattered a lot, I have sent people to look for them, and there are about 15,000 cavalry that can be used now."

Yuan Shao glared at Lu Weihuang, and said in a deep voice: "Set off immediately to pursue Shili, but be careful of the opponent's counterattack, the sky is dark, pay special attention to the opponent's traps, put more scouts, and don't be careless 1."

"No1

"Return immediately after ten miles of pursuit, don't go deep alone, I have ordered Zhang Jaw to lead the army to intercept it."

"The last will understand1

"Assemble the infantry of the Western Battalion and attack Simon 1 with this officer

"No1

Lu Weihuang led the cavalry to chase all the way along the avenue, carefully put enough scouts along the way, except for the iron army running in front of him, he did not find any abnormality, and made sure that there was no enemy trap on the battlefield, Lu Weihuang accelerated his speed, ready to catch up and attack the fleeing iron army.

Who knew that when the iron army saw the cavalry behind him approaching, he actually let the side of the road and lined up, Lu Weihuang was a little uneasy when he saw this posture, and he slowed down and didn't dare to attack.

Seeing that Lu Weihuang did not dare to attack, these infantry moved forward in a phalanx of rolling forward, although the speed was slower, but they were also advancing towards the white horse, seeing that ten miles of land was about to arrive, Lu Weihuang couldn't help but be entangled, if he didn't even dare to fight, he just watched the infantry of the Iron Army run away, plus the previous attack on the camp, Yuan Shao had to do it heavily.

After thinking about it, Lu Weihuang gritted his teeth and rushed. Whether it succeeds or not, you can't get a stigma of cowardice!

"Formation, cone formation, charging formation 1

"Out of the shield! Spear flat 1

"Heavy crossbow ready! Put 1

"Skill volley, trap! Put 1

"Heavy crossbow round shot 1

"The left and right wings are spread! The paper note continues 1

It wasn't until he rushed closer that Lu Weihuang discovered that these infantry were not the light infantry he imagined, but the elite of the heavy infantry of the Iron Army. Heavy infantry with high attack and high defense!

A round of heavy crossbow attacks made Lu Weihuang understand that he had kicked on the iron plate, and if he rushed forward, he would fall into the control area of a trap skill, and after the horse speed was reduced, the killing of the heavy crossbow was even more terrifying, and then the two wings of the iron army suddenly opened, and the crossbow arrows were as tight as a burst. Lu Weihuang saw that it was not the right way, so he immediately stopped the charge, made a sharp bend and turned around and ran backwards.

The Iron Army was not dismayed, and when they saw the cavalry leaving, they continued to march in their whole formation, and did not even clean the battlefield.

Lu Weihuang counted a little roughly, just such a charge. He has less than 2,000 cavalry, and the difference between the bonus of attack and defense is too large, coupled with the dense formation of the conical formation, so that the heavy crossbow attack can receive an excellent killing effect.

Lu Weihuang followed for a while, saw that the distance was about the same, sent a few scout teams to decorate the iron army, and led the army back directly.

Yuan Shao rushed towards Puyang with his military horses, but there was no resistance. It seems that the defenders in the city have all run away, and Yuan Shao does not dare to enter the city, especially now that it is still dark night, who knows if the iron army has left any deadly traps in the city? Even if Cao Cao, who was treacherous like a ghost, was almost killed in the fire in Linying, Yuan Shao didn't want to follow in Cao Cao's footsteps.

He sent people into the city to pacify the people and maintain law and order, and guarded the four gates and the city walls. Yuan Shao rested on the tower of the city gate, so that he could retreat in case of emergency.

Soon, Lu Weihuang came back dejected and told the story in detail. Yuan Shao didn't know what to do with Lu Weihuang, and in the end he simply rewarded twenty military sticks, which was over.

Zhang Jaw near the white horse received the news, and originally wanted to use cavalry to intercept and kill the opponent's troops disguised as elite heavy infantry, but waited left and right, but did not see the cavalry arrive, and when the cavalry finally appeared, Zhang Jaw did not dare to act rashly.

Moreover, Dian Wei in the city has also come out, if Zhang Jaw insists on attacking, it is likely to be sandwiched in the straight by the front and rear and be wiped out by two heavy infantry.

In desperation, Zhang Jaw could only watch the two troops of the Iron Army converge and slowly enter White Horse City.

After getting Puyang, Yuan Shao's heart was settled, and when the discussion was held, Yuan Shao's good mood naturally infected everyone, and everyone in the lobby had smiles on their faces.

Yuan Shaozhi stroked his beard proudly, glanced at the ministers in the hall with a smile, and said in a suffrage of words:

"Puyang is down, the supply route from Yecheng to Dunqiu, and then to Puyang has been opened, so you don't have to worry about it, the next step is to concentrate on taking Baima and Yanxian, and then attack Chenliu."

Before Yuan Shao's voice fell, Xu You immediately spoke:

"Originally, if the logistics took this line, the distance would be short, but the importance of Dunqiu was highlighted, and it was necessary to send a capable general to guard it

Yuan Shao thought about it and thought so, after all, Chaoge is still in the hands of the enemy, it is difficult to guarantee that the iron army will not have the idea of raiding his logistics line, Dunqiu is not very stable, Yuan Shao passed the generals in his heart, and suddenly felt that his generals seemed to be a little insufficient, is this because his territory is getting bigger and bigger? It seems that Gaozu Liu Bang sighed that 'Ande warriors guard the Quartet' is still very reasonable!

After a little hesitation, Yuan Shao still chose Jiang Yiqu, a general who could reassure Yuan Shao.

"Then let Jiang Yiqu go, by the way, he will be responsible for supervising the grain and grass, and you will supervise it."

Jiang Yiqu and Guo Tu came out to respond.

"LΓΌ Weihuang stayed in Puyang, and the other troops repaired for one day, and the day after tomorrow marched to Baima with his own officer.1

The crowd agreed! To be continued...
