Chapter 168: Take Hefei at All Costs (Four Thousand Subscriptions)

If there is only Guan Yujun in front, Manzhong may really be able to stabilize the situation and slowly retreat.

But now it's different.

Because when the two sides were fighting fiercely, a team of soldiers and horses suddenly came out of the rear.

There are not many of them, only a few hundred people.

But they are fully armed, and they are extremely elite, and they are the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry under Xue Li, this elite cavalry.

The battle has begun, and it's time for them to take the stage.

Xue Li did not hesitate, and immediately asked the soldiers to use the Zhuge Repeater Crossbow to attack, and the crossbow arrows shot one after another, within a certain distance, caused by the lethality that could not be ignored.

As the bolts were fired, people kept falling.

They did not expect that the enemy army would suddenly be killed in the rear, and that a few hundred people would have the momentum to match the ten thousand armies.

A wave of crossbow arrows hit each other, which made Cao Jun's formation scattered.

Man, who was organizing soldiers and horses to fight against Guan Yu in the front, finally realized that the situation was not good.

It was an organized and premeditated ambush.

The enemy forces before and after the killing, he couldn't deal with it at all, especially the impact of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, which directly broke through the formation, making them no longer able to deal with Guan Yu's offensive.

Xue Li held Fang Tian's painting halberd, he led the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to charge forward, and the indomitable momentum made Cao Jun tremble, they did not dare to face such a powerful enemy.

Even if they didn't flee directly, the fear in their hearts intensified.

"Damn it, it's a trick!"

Man Zhong didn't know that this ambush was not premeditated, but Xue Li learned the news and made a temporary decision.

But since the opportunity was delivered to him, Xue Li certainly wouldn't miss it.

After taking down the soldiers and horses of Manzhong, it is much easier to capture Wancheng, after all, he is the defender of Wancheng.

"Retreat!"

Although he was unwilling, he quickly made a wise choice at this moment, the enemy was flanked in front and back, and it was difficult for them to organize a counterattack, so they could only evacuate as soon as possible.

In any case, there are not many soldiers and horses in the rear, as long as you run fast enough, you have a chance to fight here.

After receiving the order of full favor, everyone suddenly became a pot of porridge.

They scattered and fled.

The same is true of Manzhong, who certainly does not want to be taken prisoner.

But it's not that simple.

Because Xue Li had already locked on to the target, he came directly after Manzhong, and it was difficult to leave if he wanted to.

Sensing a strong aura approaching, Manzhong's face changed greatly, and he panicked and wanted to meet it. But he was taken down by Xue Li without any power to fight back, and was completely reduced to the status of a prisoner.

Other routs, naturally, also pursued.

But whether you catch up or not, in fact, is not so important, as long as you win the full favor, you will succeed.

In fact, Xue Li didn't know Manzhong either.

But as the commander of the army, Man Chong commanded the soldiers and horses, but Xue Li could see it clearly.

Wouldn't it be ridiculous if none of this could determine identity?

The other side.

Guan Yu rode his horse.

He also saw the divine power of Xue Li and the Xuanjia Iron Horse, and he didn't expect that Xue Li would only bring a few hundred people this time.

This is really the audacity of an artist.

If the enemy finds its tracks, what will happen to the army?

However, looking at Xue Li's performance, he doesn't seem to have any scruples, maybe he has absolute certainty.

The cavalry is indeed too elite.

As a famous general of Cao Ying, this full favor still has the ability, and he arranged the troops and almost blocked Guan Yu's offensive, but with the addition of Xue Li and the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, the battle was reversed in a short time.

It is enough to show that the Xuanjia Iron Rider is powerful.

And Xue Li's performance made Guan Yu eager to try, and he wanted to compete with him.

The talented Xue Li gave him a feeling of Lu Bu in the past.

Of course, the situation of the two is completely different, although Lu Bu is superior in martial arts and invincible, he is arrogant and arrogant, and there is no one in his eyes, unlike Xue Li, who has a strategy and a good way to advance and retreat.

In terms of force, the two have similarities.

After all, they all used Fang Tian painting halberds.

In other aspects, it is completely different, anyway, in Guan Yu's opinion, this Xue Li should not be underestimated.

Coming to Xue Li's side, Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said:

"General Xue is really extraordinary, and he easily won the enemy general, Guan Mou wants to have a fight."

Glancing at Guan Yu, Xue Li knew what he was thinking, and said:

"General Guan is modest, but now that the war is not over yet, it is better to wait for Wancheng to be taken, and you and I will find a chance to have a good discussion, I don't know what General Guan thinks?"

Xue Li gave enough face, Guan Yu nodded and said:

"Okay, then I'll do my best to take Wancheng."

The full pet who had been tied up was full of chagrin on his face, knowing that this was the case, he should have defended Wancheng and waited for reinforcements, instead of recklessly coming to support.

Now it's okay, I planted it myself, and Wancheng is also in danger.

The conversation between Xue Li and Guan Yu just now made Man Chong a little annoyed, this was not taking him seriously at all!

But if you think about it carefully, you have already become a prisoner, what is there to be valued by others?

Full of pets simply didn't say a word, waiting to be disposed of.

And at the moment.

After winning the full favor, their next task is still to take down Nieyang and Jianyang as soon as possible, and take down the two bridgeheads, so that they can capture Wancheng in one go.

It was precisely because Cao Cao requisitioned the main force to Hanzhong that the troops in the Central Plains were empty, and in a short period of time, they had no time to support, which was their best opportunity.

The Nanyang battlefield has opened up the situation.

On the other side, Gan Ning led the Jiangxia naval army, as well as the Jiangdong infantry led by Lu Meng and Lu Xun, and began the task of attacking Jianghuai.

Those who stayed here were one of the good generals.

Although there are no good generals yet, Le Jin is under Cao Cao, and he is definitely a general who is highly used.

For Jingzhou, Cao Cao did not attach so much importance to it.

After all, Liu Qi attacked Yizhou, and basically mobilized the Jingzhou army, which greatly reduced Jingzhou's combat strength.

But Cao Cao didn't expect Zhuge Liang to be so decisive.

Let Xue Li and Guan Yu go north together.

His neglect of Jingzhou has become an opportunity.

In fact, Cao Cao did not completely ignore Jingzhou, after all, he left tens of thousands of troops in Wancheng, and it was no problem to delay time, but he was full of favor and gave Xue Li a chance.

In short, the Jiangxia naval army was strong, which made Cao Cao very jealous. Of course, he knew the importance of the Jianghuai land, and if this place was taken away by Liu Qi, the north would be in trouble.

It is a safer arrangement to let Lejin stay here.

Since the confrontation between the two armies, Lejin has not taken it lightly, and he is well aware of the importance of his mission.

If the land of Jianghuai is lost, Jiangdong will be in danger to defend, but Cao Cao's territory will fall into disadvantage.

Na Gan Ning is a fierce general under Liu Qi.

The ability is extraordinary.

If you underestimate this person, the result will be unpredictable.

Since taking the land of Koto.

Now that Gan Ning is under him, there are a lot more people available.

Prior to this, Gan Ning ordered LΓΌ Meng and Lu Xun to go to Misukou, and then sent people to transport them to Hefei by warship, and this time the core target was Hefei.

Hefei City is the key place for Cao Cao's southern line defense.

If Gan Ning takes Hefei, it can be attacked, retreated and defended, and at the same time can maximize the advantages of his own naval army, although Cao Cao also has a naval army, but compared with the Jiangxia naval army, it is only a water army, and the combat effectiveness is not half a star.

It can be said that after taking Hefei, it is only a matter of time before Ganning seizes the land of Huainan.

Soon, the army arrived near Hefei.

In a makeshift camp.

The generals gathered here, and Gan Ning said in a deep voice:

"How can the main force of our army gather in Hefei, and there are 10,000 soldiers and horses in Hefei City, and the generals under Cao Cao are willing to garrison the station, so you can have a strategy to break the enemy, you might as well say it bluntly?"

The crowd was lost in thought.

The city of Hefei is not so simple to take.

Because of the terrain, even if they have an advantage in numbers, it is difficult to play it.

However, when everyone was silent, young Lu Xun said:

"Qi Yu Taishou, although the city of Hefei is strong, our army is now full of soldiers and horses

Many, if the enemy army does not take the initiative to fight, I am afraid that there is only one option to besiege the city and storm it.

Now, Jingzhou has also sent troops to attack Wancheng, Wancheng is close to Luoyang and Xuchang, Cao Jun will not dare to slack off, they will send reinforcements as soon as possible.

And our army to Hefei, can use catapults to attack, and forcibly dig tunnels, so that it will not take a month, even if the Cao army sticks to it, this Hefei city should fall. ”

Knowing that Lejin was not easy to deal with, Lu Xun did not come up with any clever plan, but only described in detail his plan to break the city, and their troops were much more abundant than the defenders of Hefei.

Moreover, because it is not only Koto that is doing it now, but also the land of Koto. Even if Cao Jun gets the news, in a short period of time, it will be overstretched, and he will definitely take care of one and lose the other.

Although Hefei is also very important, holding Hefei basically blocked the route of Jiangdong's Northern Expedition. Although it is not without other options, the road is difficult and it is inconvenient to use troops.

In this case, Cao Cao's camp will definitely put more forces into Wancheng's side. Reinforcements to Hefei are not something that can be done in a day or two.

What he has to do is to take advantage of this time to do everything he can to get the city.

No matter how strong a city is, there is a limit.

After thinking for a while, Gan Ning finally nodded, in fact, he just asked to know if there was any quick way to take Hefei quickly.

But looking at everyone's reactions, it is not possible to clear the customs quickly.

can only storm Hefei.

Now is a rare opportunity, they must seize the opportunity and go all out to take Hefei.

As long as Hefei is taken, Gan Ning can build a water village in Chaohu Lake, and even if the Cao army attacks, they can't help it, and this will become their home advantage.

Soon, Gan Ning said seriously:

"Okay, then the next army will directly surround Hefei, before the arrival of Cao's reinforcements, Hefei must be taken at all costs, this is a key battle, you should not take it lightly."

When he said this, Gan Ning behaved very seriously.

Naturally, everyone would not slack off, and hurriedly said yes, since they took refuge in Liu Qi, there had not been any major wars, and as military generals, they naturally wanted to make meritorious contributions.

The situation is now clear.

Although Liu Qi destroyed Sun Quan, they followed Liu Qi and already divided half of the world, and if they went further, they could also become one of the fathers of the Han Dynasty.

It's all on this, and you don't have to think about it at all.

Anyway, it is also a life for Sun Quan, and it is a better choice to charge for Liu Qi at this moment.

Ready, the army rushed to Hefei.

The small city is densely surrounded.

City.

The guard general Le Jin only learned the news.

This time, the enemy army actually moved seriously, and the army went straight to Hefei, which is not a joke.

It was because he did not dare to slack off, and while reorganizing the army for war, he sent someone to inform Xuchang and ask for reinforcements.

After all, now in Hefei, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses.

In the face of a menacing enemy army, it is not easy to hold on if there are no reinforcements coming.

The day after Lejin sent the message.

Hefei was completely surrounded.

Looking at the large number of enemy troops outside the city, Le Jin's face was a little ugly, and he could feel the determination of the enemy army.

"The prime minister and Liu Qi fought a decisive battle in Hanzhong, and now Jingzhou and Jiangdong are also raising troops to the north, does Liu Qi want to directly divide the victory and defeat with the prime minister, how is this possible?"

Thinking of this, Lejin felt a little incredible.

But no matter what, the enemy army has come, no matter what Liu Qi's plan is, what he has to do now is to completely own his mission and ensure the safety of Hefei.

Next, Gan Ning fully expressed his attitude.

The army forcibly attacked the city.

The large number of siege equipment transported through the treasure ship came in handy at this moment. If it goes on like this, it will be a matter of time before Hefei is breached, even if Lejin has made sufficient preparations.

The reason why Sun Quan was deflated in Hefei was not because his strength was too poor. It's that he doesn't have enough determination, and the first time he conquered Hefei, he was almost about to take it.

As a result, because of rumors, he believed that Cao Cao's reinforcements were coming, and then retreated in a hurry.

But in fact, Cao Cao's reinforcements did not arrive at all.

The same was true for the second time, although Zhang Liao fought bravely, but after all, the disparity in numbers was huge, and he could not reverse the situation at all, because he could not take Hefei because of the delay, and chose to retreat.

At the same time, he also said that he was broken.

As a result, he was pursued by Zhang Liao's troops, which was the famous Battle of Xiaoyaojin.

As for the third time, that is, he was killed by the full favor of rushing into battle and killing hundreds of people, but Sun Quan thought about running away again.

But Sun Quan has enough determination.

He still has a good chance to take Hefei.

Now it is not Sun Quan who is attacking Hefei, there is no Zhang Liao in the same city, and it is difficult for Lejin to support alone, and Gan Ning has made up his mind and will not retreat easily.

The outcome of the battle seems to have been decided.

The situation in Hefei is grim, but Le Jin can't think about it so much, he can only do his best to do his own thing.

Cao Cao handed over Hefei to him and spared no effort.

At the same time, he prayed in his heart that reinforcements would arrive sooner rather than later, but he was destined to be just delusional.

The urgent reports from Wancheng and Hefei were all sent to Xuchang.

Now that Cao Cao is not in Xuchang, all kinds of affairs can only be decided by Xun Yu. It's not that Xun Yu can't do it, the current situation, even if Cao Cao is here, there is nothing to be done.

Unless Cao Cao is straightforward and chooses to give up Hanzhong, there may still be some chance of redemption.

There will be no problems in Wancheng and Hefei.
