"Why is the lord arranging it like this?"

Jia Xu asked puzzled.

Even if you feel unstable, you can concentrate your forces to come to Liyang, and then cross the river with all your strength to fight it, but putting your troops in Chenggao is not in line with the current strategy.

Xun You seemed to think of something, and asked, "Lord, is this what you want, Yingchuan?" ”

"That's right!"

Yang Zhao nodded and said: "I have an idea, but I'm not sure if it works, how to implement it, I'll tell you later, you can give it a try, and the shadow will pass my order first!" ”

When the shadow people around him heard this, they went down to spread the news.

"Early tomorrow morning, we will go to Liyang again, we have 20,000 people in Yecheng, Zhao Fan, you will lead, how about it?" Yang Zhao said again.

The young general back then, under the command of Tai Shici, has completed his transformation and has become a general who can lead the troops.

"Subordinates take orders!"

Zhao Fan nodded.

With these arranged, they are ready to send troops.

——

Meantime.

"Lord!"

Cheng Yu found Cao Cao and said worriedly: "According to the news of our spies, Yang Zhao is concentrating grain and grass in Liyang, as if he is going to cross the river to attack Yanzhou. ”

"Yang Zhao wants to attack Yanzhou?"

Cao Cao put down the official document in his hand, frowned and said: "I thought that this time we were defeated, Yang Zhao would temporarily rest his troops, and he would not go south in a short time, he actually came so fast!" ”

Their artillery, after only one test, ended in a bore.

If you don't have enough weapons, how can you fight Yang Zhao?

"Pass everyone on." Cao Cao said anxiously.

Cheng Yu soon called Xi Zhong, Chen Gong and others, concentrated in front of Cao Cao, and then told them the news.

Xi Zhong first said: "If I guessed correctly, the first thing Yang Zhao should do is to cross Baimajin and attack Baima, if he succeeds and Baima is lost, he can open up the situation in Yanzhou, occupy an advantage, and then take Dongjun." ”

"What does Zhicai think?"

Cao Cao asked.

Xi Zhong said: "If he can cross Baimajin, we can also cross Yanjin and attack Yang Zhao's rear, forcing him to divide his troops to Yanjin." At this time, we will gather our forces again, attack with cavalry, and kill into Yang Zhao's army as quickly as possible to prevent Yang Zhao from using those weapons, and the siege of the White Horse can be solved! However, it should be noted that crossing Yanjin is only a feint, and our main force must be placed on a white horse. ”

"It's a brilliant plan."

Cui Yan agreed.

Cao Cao asked again: "Who can do a feint?" ”

Dong Zhao, his subordinate, said: "The Yellow River is wide, it is difficult to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river, and you can only use warboats, so you can let Cai Mao, who is proficient in water warfare, lead the troops to feint." ”

Cao Cao pondered for a while and agreed: "Then follow Zhicai's plan, transfer Cai Mao back, and prepare to fight." ”

After a pause, Cao Cao continued: "Let Miss Huang do more, and the more powerful explosives will be sent to our army." ”

Fighting with Yang Zhao, they are still under a lot of pressure.

The artillery hadn't been made yet, so they had to take the explosives with them, hoping they could use them.

If that doesn't work, they'll have to fight for their lives.

——

Yang Zhao came to Liyang.

Everything is ready here.

Even the warships used to cross the river are docked on the shore and can be killed on the other side at any time.

"Cross the river!"

Yang Zhao said loudly.

All the grain and grass he moved to the boat, and the soldiers also got on the boat and sailed to the other side of the river, and there were no problems or accidents in the process of crossing the river, until all the soldiers landed, and no one in Yanzhou could be seen to intercept them.

The shadow has long been on the south bank of the Yellow River, from the White Horse Ferry, to the distance from the White Horse City, there is no problem at all, all the way is safe, Yang Zhao ordered to continue the march, approaching the White Horse, and soon the army will come to the city.

After receiving Cao Cao's order, Dongjun Taishou Liu Yan first brought troops to Baima to defend and cooperate with Cao Cao's actions.

The defenses in White Horse City have been almost prepared for a long time.

The general practice is to block the city gate with stones, and then stalemate with Yang Zhao, and at the same time use a trebuchet to throw explosives out to combat Yang Zhao's attack, and these are probably the only methods they can use.

Crossing Baimajin, Yang Zhao ordered to immediately control the ferry.

After the soldiers approached the white horse, they did not go to battle immediately, but just surrounded the city and waited for Cao Cao's next move.

Yang Zhao remembered the process of the battle of Guandu, but it is not clear whether Cao Cao would resist like that, just wait for Cao Cao's reaction.

After the army was stationed, Yang Zhao looked up at the White Horse City Wall and said, "I want to see how Cao Cao will come to resist us." ”

"No matter how much Cao Cao resists, he can't be the opponent of the lord, and Yanzhou and Yuzhou will definitely be lost."

Zhou Yu said confidently.

This is his confidence in Yang Zhao.

Fu Zhu, who also went to war with the army, agreed: "According to the time, Cao Cao is almost coming. ”

Yang Zhao nodded and said: "It's true that we can almost come, the shadow will arrange it, and when Cao Cao enters Dongjun, we will attack Baima." ”

"Yes!"

The shadow went down to action again.

Time flies.

The next day at noon.

The shadow had news that Cao Cao had come back to the south of Puyang.

"Cao Cao's march is not slow."

Yang Zhao analyzed: "He should have found out a long time ago, we gathered grain and grass in Luoyang, and the action was so fast, since this is the case, we began to attack the city." ”

"Artillery, go first!"

Hearing Yang Zhao's order, Fang Rui first led the striker to move.

More than a dozen artillery pieces were pushed out of the camp, and the muzzles of the guns were unanimously aimed at the gate north of Hakuba.

At the same time, the drums of war were beaten.

The guards of the white horse, seeing such movement outside the city, beat the war drums.

The sound of drums echoed inside and outside the city.

Liu Yan saw that the artillery was in front of him, and hurriedly asked people to prepare the trebuchet, these trebuchets had been improved by Huang Yueying, and the throwing distance could be farther, which was better than the previous one, and shouted: "Throw!" ”

He prepares, and strikes first.

Make a move first and fight back against Yang Zhao.

With a shout from him, more than a dozen trebuchets started at the same time, throwing explosives at Fang Rui and them in front.

"It's not good, get back!"

Seeing this, Fang Rui squinted his eyes, and he could instantly judge the distance of the enemy's throw.

The explosive packets were thrown from the castle tower, and the impact area was larger than the previous ones, more than they had expected.

The current siege is first bombarded with artillery, then the artillery will advance forward, a little closer to the city wall, this distance is enough for Liu Yan to throw the explosives down.

Fang Rui hurriedly led his troops back, but as soon as he withdrew, the explosives fell and exploded, making a deafening sound, and one of the cannons was affected by the explosion, igniting the shell and being blown up.

Seeing the scene under the city, Liu Yan's heart was stable, and he felt that he had the ability to fight back against Yang Zhao, and said excitedly: "Come again!" ”

"Go and take the artillery!"

Fang Rui said loudly.

Hundreds of soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and pushed the artillery back, and those shells, all placed on a board cart, were also pushed backwards, but they were also a step slower......
