The city of Hefei is broken, even if Lejin is determined to fight to the death, there is no way but to evacuate.

Moreover, even if Hefei is taken, the battle is not over, the enemy army will definitely take advantage of the situation, and then the land of Lujiang and Huainan will fall into the hands of the enemy.

The situation is already quite bad.

Cao Cao led his troops to confront Liu Qi in Hanzhong, and Wancheng and Hefei were attacked by soldiers and horses at the same time, and if they could not stabilize the situation as soon as possible, they would definitely pay greater losses.

After Lejin led people to withdraw from Hefei, he went straight to Xuzhou, and went to Xuchang to ask for reinforcements at this moment, the distance was too far after all, and he needed to rectify the troops and horses in Xuzhou as soon as possible.

to hinder the enemy's offensive.

However, before Lejin arrived in Xuzhou, he saw soldiers and horses rushing all the way, and they were Xuzhou reinforcements.

After reporting his identity, Le Jin frowned and asked in a deep voice:

"Where did you come from?"

At this moment, it was not Xiahou Shang who led the troops, Xiahou Shang asked for orders to go to Xuzhou, that is, he first transferred people and sent his generals to support Hefei, and he was still mobilizing the army.

After all, the people of the district can only relieve the pressure, but they cannot defeat the enemy army, or even gain an advantage.

It's just that Xiahou Shang never expected that the enemy army on this road not only took advantage of the situation to attack, but also had absolute determination, and did not give Lejin a chance to breathe at all, plus Tiangong was ruthless, Hefei had fallen.

The general hurriedly clarified the situation and said:

"General Qiyu, the last general and others are from Xuzhou, and they are ordered by General Boren to support Hefei."

Le Jin sighed and replied:

"No need, now that Hefei has fallen, it won't help to go again, what is the situation now?

Why didn't you send reinforcements directly from Xuchang, but from Xuzhou, and what happened? ”

The general said respectfully:

"What the general said is extremely true, because the enemy not only sent troops to attack Hefei, but also sent troops to Wancheng, the situation in Wancheng was critical, so Jun first mobilized the elite of Xuchang to Wancheng to support.

General Yi Boren can only go to Xuzhou to rectify the matter of troops and horses trying to support again, please forgive the general. ”

Hearing this, Le Jin completely understood.

However, he didn't bother to blame Xun Yu, because he also knew that from the direct strategic significance, Wancheng's position was higher and more important, and it was easy not to lose.

If he had to choose, it would have been arranged like this.

With a sweep of his eyes, Le Jin stopped talking nonsense and asked:

"Where is Xiahou Boren at this moment?"

Xiahou Boren is Xiahou Shang, he is Xiahou Yuan's son and nephew.

Laijiang replied:

"General Boren is also mobilizing troops and horses in Xuzhou."

Le Jin waved his hand and said:

"Okay, then without further ado, let's go and join Xiahou Boren first, now that the enemy army occupies Hefei, they will never give up, and the entire Lujiang River and Huainan are in danger."

The crowd immediately took action.

Meantime.

Li Dian led his soldiers and horses to Wancheng to support.

Compared with Hefei, the defenders of Wancheng were much more stubborn, and without the help of time, it was not easy to attack.

This allowed Li Dian to arrive at the battlefield before Wancheng was broken, but Wancheng was already heavily surrounded, and he was not given a chance to enter the city at all. Li Dian, who was helpless, could only camp on the flank.

The formation of horns delays time.

After all, now Li Dian is only the first way to reinforce, and it is impossible for Xun Yu to send troops and horses to come in the future. Jingzhou is determined to take Wancheng, and they naturally will not give it to others.

The sudden change made Xue Li and his party stop attacking Wancheng.

I have to say that the reinforcements arrived in time, and if it is delayed for another two days, I am afraid that the city has changed hands.

However, even if Cao Jun reinforcements arrived, they would not be able to withdraw easily. Wancheng is so close that it is only one step away, and even if they try their best, they will have to take it.

Although they didn't know the situation in Hefei, wouldn't it be a joke if the army attacked here and gave up halfway, no matter Xue Li and Guan Yu.

In the midst of the camp, the generals gathered.

Xue Li said in a deep voice:

"This Wancheng is worthy of being a heavy city of Cao Ying, and the city defense is so strong,

After spending these days, it was still impossible to take the city, and at this moment, Cao Ying's reinforcements had arrived.

If you still attack the city with all your might, it will inevitably give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it. Our army pays so much attention to Wancheng, and so does the enemy's army, if it continues to delay, more soldiers and horses will surely come.

It is because we must seize the time, strike first, take the reinforcements first, and concentrate all the forces at that time, and be sure to seize Wancheng in one go, so as not to cause another accident. ”

They killed Wancheng, which was already close to Cao Ying's basic plate.

Under this premise, the Cao army, which can be mobilized, will definitely spare no effort to support Wancheng.

If they can't take it down at this moment, the chances behind them will be even slimmer, and when Cao Cao rearranges the defensive line, it will be even more difficult, and this will become a difficulty preventing them from going north.

If Wancheng is taken at this moment, the situation will be completely different.

Next, whether it is to go north to Luoyang or to Yanzhou, it is up to Liu Qi's decision.

Cao Jun could only defend passively.

Hearing Xue Li's words, Guan Yu also understood the seriousness of the matter, after all, his hatred for Cao Jun had reached a certain level, and he couldn't wait to defeat Cao Cao.

Only by completely solving Cao Cao can Liu Bei be rescued.

"General Xue, since the reinforcements of the Cao army have arrived, why don't we take advantage of their unstable foothold and send troops to attack the camp tonight, and the soldiers and horses from both sides will advance together, and we will definitely take it in one fell swoop.

This reinforcement must have come from Xuchang, even if the journey is not far, it is exhausting. At this moment, the attack is the best opportunity, I don't know what General Xue wants? ”

Xue Li stood up, his expression was firm, and he said without hesitation:

"General Guan is right, since we want to do it, we must not delay time, and we will personally lead the troops tonight.

If Cao Jun was in the city, he might not be able to take him for a short time, but now that he is camped outside the city and wants to stop us and other elites, it will not be so easy! ”

The discussion has been decided, in the night.

Xue Li and Guan Yu each led their soldiers and horses, and even directly left Wancheng and went all out to kill Li Dian.

came from all the way to support Xuchang, and Li Dian was certainly not unprepared. He had already expected that the enemy might take advantage of the situation to attack, after all, his own foothold was not stable, and it was indeed very troublesome.

But Li Dian never expected that Xue Li and the others would be so resolute that they would directly ignore Wancheng and mobilize all the soldiers and horses to attack them.

It was when Li Dian arranged for the scouts to come back and report.

Li Dian's expression changed greatly.

Even if he made some preparations, how easy was it to face so many enemy troops?

He didn't dare to slack off, it was destined to be a difficult battle.

Don't seek a big victory, as long as you stabilize your position, it is a victory.

Immediately, Li Dian issued an order for the three armies to prepare to meet the enemy.

Xue Li and others led the soldiers and horses to appear.

The battle began, and in the darkness of the night.

But it's extraordinarily intense!
