172 Reinforcements arrived

Zhang He's side was rectifying the military horses, and after Cao Hong and Le Jin escaped for more than ten miles, they made sure that there were no pursuers behind them, so they dared to stop.

Cao Hong stopped and counted his soldiers and horses, and the man, who was more than seven feet tall, shed tears on the spot.

Cao Hong has never cried in his life, and this time he really cried.

Cao Hong's crying is sad! Tears crackled and fell.

Seeing this scene, the musicians on the side were stunned!

Le Jin thought to himself, why are you crying when you are idle?

After thinking about it carefully, Le Jin understood that Cao Hong was escaping from heaven and ascending to heaven, and he was grateful for Lejin's life-saving grace, so he cried.

If Cao Hong knew Lejin's thoughts, he would definitely tell him, I am grateful to your sister.

"Zilian, why are you crying?" Le Jin comforted Cao Hong and asked.

Cao Hong eased his emotions and said to Le Jin: "I'm crying with my brothers!" ”

"I brought three thousand men, and now, there are only two or three hundred left! I am ashamed of these brothers, and I am ashamed of their parents, their wives and children. ”

Hearing Cao Hong's words, Le Jin couldn't help but feel a little sad.

As a general, the soldiers under his command were almost wiped out, and out of three thousand people, there were only two or three hundred left.

Don't say it's Cao Hong, if it's any person, his heart is unbearable.

is also a general, Le Jin understands Cao Hong's mood very well, he patted Cao Hong's shoulder and comforted: "Zilian, this matter is not your fault." ”

"In this matter, instead of your fault, you have made great contributions."

"If it weren't for you and these brothers, I'm afraid that Yecheng had been captured by Zhang He last night, and if that's the case, I would have lost everything."

Although these brothers died in battle, they saved Yecheng. They have shed blood and sacrificed for the hegemony of the lord, and I believe that the lord will not treat them badly. ”

Cao Hong wiped his tears, nodded, and responded: "Wen Qian, I know what you said. ”

"These brothers under my command cannot die in vain under any circumstances."

"We can't run away, we have to send some scouts to keep an eye on Zhang He, if he wants to attack Ye City, we have to harass them."

"Su Ming Gongzi only has 800 trapped camps, and when I think about it, the situation he encountered is even more embarrassing than I encountered yesterday."

Cao Hong rode with three thousand leopards, and Su Ming only had eight hundred traps in the camp, so Cao Hong was still very worried about Su Ming's situation.

Although Su Ming only had 800 trapped camps, his troops were even smaller than Cao Hong's.

However, the advantage of Su Ming is that he refused to defend the city, and his design persuaded the big families in the city to help.

If it weren't for this, relying only on the 800 trap camp to defend Yecheng, this Yecheng would have been lost 800 times a long time ago.

Le Jin patted Cao Hong on the shoulder and said, "I still have more than a thousand people here, if Zhang He is attacking Yecheng, I will be the vanguard and rush to his camp." ”

"Even if you and I pay for our lives, we will definitely protect Yecheng."

Cao Hong sighed and said, "Hey! ”

"I hope Mancheng can arrive sooner, as soon as Mancheng arrives, he will not be able to tolerate Zhang He's arrogance."

Cao Hong and Le Jin, even if they join forces, it will be a drop in the bucket, and it will be difficult to be of great use.

If Li Dian comes, it will be different.

Le Jin and Li Dian were the vanguard officers of the second route sent by Cao Cao, and the two of them led 30,000 cavalry.

Last night, after Le Jin saw the fire in Yecheng, he took 2,000 people and rushed to Yecheng first.

The remaining 28,000 cavalry were led by Li Dian to Yecheng by the main road.

Although the path is fast, it can't accommodate too many people.

It is precisely because of this that these two pioneers have also been divided into two waves.

Lejin, who arrived first, saved Cao Hong by chance, and as soon as Li Dian, who arrived later, came, then they were really not afraid of Zhang He.

Zhang He's army of 50,000, after two days of siege, plus Cao Hong's attack on the camp last night, there are not many troops available.

As soon as Li Dian's nearly 30,000 cavalry arrived, they would immediately be able to counter-encircle Zhang He, making it difficult for Zhang He to escape.

"Man Cheng is steady, and there shouldn't be any stubble."

"I think he'll arrive with a large army in a few hours at most." Le Jin said to Cao Hong.

Le Jin and Li Dian are old partners.

Cao Cao will send a general, and he will let the two of them together. It is often Le Jin who is the main general, and Li Dian is the deputy general.

This time, the same is true, Lejin is the second road pioneer, and Li Dian is the second road deputy pioneer.

This is exactly what Cao Cao is so clever about.

Lejin is reckless, impulsive, capable, and daring.

Li Dian, on the other hand, has a steady character, he is cautious and rarely makes mistakes.

Le Jin and Li Dian's partner just formed a complementary personality.

Meanwhile.

Under the city of Yecheng, Zhang He's camp.

After Zhang He finished rectifying the soldiers and horses, his whole face turned green.

This battle was really miserable.

When Zhang He came, he had more than 50,000 horses in his hands.

So far, there are only more than 10,000 people who are not injured and can stand there with all the beards and tails.

Including those who were lightly injured and seriously injured, it would be 178,000 when the full fight was full, less than 20,000.

Casualties are still one thing, and now, the barracks can be described as panicking.

Not to mention that Yecheng was not captured, it was also attacked by Cao Jun last night.

Now, no one knows when Cao Cao's army will arrive.

Once Cao Cao's army arrived, they would be all finished.

At this time, a fast horse hurried into the barracks, and the scout dismounted and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army, and reported to Zhang Heyu: "General, something is wrong!" ”

"Li Dian led 30,000 elite cavalry, and it is less than thirty miles away from us."

Zhang He had already spread scouts outside, just to keep an eye on when Cao's reinforcements would arrive.

Cao Hong and Le Jin are both small groups of soldiers and horses, who came from the road, and they both came at night when they came.

Therefore, the scouts arranged by Zhang He did not find out.

However, Li Dian is different.

Li Dian is a full 30,000 army, and these 30,000 troops are mighty, and they can only come from the official road.

Therefore, as soon as Li Dian approached Yecheng, he was immediately discovered by the scouts scattered by Zhang He.

"Pass the order!"

"You can storm Yecheng, thirty miles! I'll bet on these thirty miles, I can capture Yecheng! Zhang He gritted his teeth and gave a military order.

Obviously, Zhang He is in a hurry!

Now, he didn't think about it at all, he just gave this order with a breath.

Zhang He doesn't think, Tian Feng, as a military advisor, it is impossible for him not to think!

Thirty miles away, if the cavalry is fast, it is an hour's appearance.

Even if Li Dian led 20,000 cavalry at a speed of not being fast, he would be able to reach Yecheng in two hours at most.

How hard it is to gnaw on this bone in Yecheng, they have already seen it yesterday.

In an hour or two, no matter what, they couldn't capture Yecheng.

Even, Su Ming only needed to put another fire on Yecheng to be able to stop them for an hour or two.
