Chapter 351: Yecheng is besieged

On the city wall of Pucheng, Yuan Tan and other defenders also endured the horror of the boulders thrown by the thunderbolt and looked at the direction of the explosion.

They didn't see the gates blown open.

However, they saw countless broken corpses scattered along with the rain of blood.

Yuan Tan and the others stopped breathing.

This is?!

Cao Cao was the first to come back to his senses.

Looking at the city gate that was blown open by the explosive pack, Cao Cao almost shouted at the top of his voice: "Cavalry siege!" ”

The cavalry on both sides suddenly poured into the city walls like a tidal wave along the blasted city gates.

Without the defense of the city wall, how can Puyang City be able to resist the attack of the cavalry?

After the cavalry entered the city, they quickly rushed to the city walls.

Suddenly there was a battle on the city wall.

Cao Cao again told the Thunderbolts to stop attacking.

The archers also entered the city.

The battle ended quickly.

Not even half an hour.

In the face of the attack of the thunderbolts, the defenders of Puyang City could only be beaten passively.

Now that the city gate has been blown open, in the face of the Wu army that is several times its size, more than half of the defenders of Puyang City have directly chosen to surrender.

Yuan Tan was even directly killed by the generals around him.

His body was divided into six parts: the head, the limbs, and the torso.

After the army broke the city, Lu Yi ordered it to be stationed outside the city and forbade disturbing the people.

After that, he stayed in Puyang City for three days and cleared the remnants of the forces.

Lu Yi also personally collected Pang Tong's body.

Yuan Tan was killed, Puyang City was captured, and Xun You made people go around preaching that the army of Wu was innocent.

Other cities in Yanzhou have descended from the wind.

Lu Yi kept Dong Xi and Chen Wu to lead an army of 2,000 each to take over Yanzhou, while he personally led the army to continue north, and finally stationed in Baima.

After that, Lu Yi personally wrote to Zhuge Liang in Julu and Lu Bu in Bingzhou, asking them to launch an encirclement and suppression of Jizhou and cooperate with their actions.

Zhuge Liang led the Xuzhou Legion and waited for news from Lu Yi.

After receiving Lu Yi's letter, Zhuge Liang did not hesitate, and immediately divided the army into three routes, and attacked in the direction of Yecheng at the same time.

All the way Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.

All the way to Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren.

All the way to Tian Yu and lead the move.

The three-way army almost swept the entire east of Jizhou with a devastating force.

And Lu Bu of Bingzhou also dispatched a three-way army.

The three armies were:

All the way to Lu Bu.

All the way to Zhang Liao.

All the way to Zhang He.

The three armies were all cavalry.

Coupled with Zhuge Liang's Xuzhou Army, the Sixth Route Army is like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang and Lü Bu had attacked, Lu Yi led his army north this time, crossed the Yellow River, and went straight to Liyang Port.

Yuan Shang originally thought that he had united with Wuhuan, and with the assistance of Wuhuan's 30,000 cavalry, he would be able to resist the attack of Wu.

It was only then that he realized that he had overthought it.

Wu Huan's 30,000 cavalry was transferred by him to the west of Jizhou to resist the three-way cavalry of Lü Bu, Zhang Liao and Zhang He.

However, the Wuhuan cavalry, which was very brave on weekdays, faced the attack of Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Zhang He's three-way cavalry, and had almost no power to counterattack.

Lü Bu and Zhang Liao were both from Bingzhou, and in their early years, they had been fighting with the cavalry of the Wuhuan, Huren, and Xiongnu.

Facing the Wuhuan cavalry, both of them have rich combat experience.

In their early years, they were not afraid of Wuhuan and Hu people.

Now, with such a solid backing of Wu Guo, they are even more fearless.

The two and Zhang He gathered in House County and broke out the biggest cavalry confrontation with Wu Huan.

The battle lasted three full hours.

The 30,000 cavalry of Wuhuan were almost wiped out!

The remaining less than 3,000 cavalry fled in disarray.

Lü Bu ordered Zhang Liao and Zhang He to lead 30,000 cavalry and continue to pursue the Wuhuan deserters.

Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, this is what Lu Bu has learned from studying the art of war over the years.

Now Wuhuan has sent 30,000 cavalry to aid Yuan Shang, and the strength of the Wuhuan territory has definitely been greatly reduced.

In this case, he will finish his work in one battle, completely destroy Wu Huan, and do not give Wu Huan any respite.

Zhang Liao and Zhang He selected dozens of Wuhuan people among the Wuhuan army, used both soft and hard, and interrogated them separately to understand the terrain and weather of the Wuhuan territory in detail, and then launched an all-out attack.

And Lü Bu led the remaining 5,000 cavalry to attack in the direction of Yecheng.

Yuan Shang had already been beaten by Zhuge Liang and Lu Bu without the slightest ability to parry.

Originally, he still wanted to be stationed in Liyang Port in person.

Hearing the news that Lu Bu and Zhuge Liang were about to march to Yecheng City, he could only lead the army back to Yecheng in a hurry, leaving less than 5,000 soldiers and horses in Liyang Port.

Lu Yi's army barely took much effort and captured Liyang Port.

Leaving Xiahoudun to clean up the battlefield of Liyang Port, Lu Yi led the army to continue north.

Two days later, Lu Yi led a large army to the south of Yecheng.

And Zhuge Liang and Lu Bu also led the army to the east, west and north of Yecheng respectively.

The entire Yecheng has become a lonely city.

After Lu Yi arrived, Zhuge Liang and Lu Bu respectively led hundreds of civil and military officials to arrive and meet Lu Yi.

Lu Yi met with Zhuge Liang, Lu Bu and others outside the tent.

Cao Cao, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ren, Tian Yu, Zhao Zhao, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu and others saluted one after another.

Jia Xu, Chen Gong, Xun You, Zhong Xuan, Zhuge Liang and other civil officials gathered together and whispered and laughed.

Lu Yi was about to introduce everyone into the tent, but he saw a soldier rushing over and said, "Report!" The Sima family in Hanoi came with 50,000 pieces of grain to treat! ”

Lu Yi looked at the soldiers and said, "Let them come over!" ”

The soldiers galloped away.

After a while, I saw a middle-aged man arrive with several high-spirited young people.

There are Sima Yi and Lu Xun.

Previously, Lu Xun was ordered by Pang Tong to send the dead soldiers to separate Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and after success, Lu Xun did not go elsewhere, and directly rushed to Hanoi County with other dead soldiers to quickly gather grain and grass.

Lu Xun knew that there would soon be a big war in Jizhou, and sufficient grain and grass were needed.

Although Sima Fang, the head of the Sima family, has gone to Wu County, Sima Fang's eldest son Sima Lang is still there.

Hearing that Lu Xun was going to prepare grain and grass for Wu Guo, Sima Lang didn't say a word and agreed directly.

As a family in Hanoi County, the Sima family has extremely strong family assets.

Now that the Wu State has the potential to dominate the world, they are the last family members to join the Wu State, supplying grain and grass, which is their last opportunity to show their determination to the Wu State, and they will not miss it.

Preparing grain and grass, and learning that Lu Yi personally led the army to arrive, Sima Lang took his five younger brothers to personally escort the grain and grass.

Sima Yi was also inside.

The previous assassination of Qian Zhao and Zhang Fei failed, which made Sima Yi very embarrassed.

Facing Lu Yi's personal reception this time, Sima Yi felt trembling.

What made him feel relieved was that Lu Yi did not pay too much attention to him, but still let him work under Zhuge Liang.

Lu Yi and the others listened to Lu Xun's report for a while, and learned some of the last things Pang Tong did before his death.

Although Pang Tong did not leave any words, everyone guessed what Pang Tong's wish was.

Why he was killed.

Lu Yi's expression was also a little sad.

This Pang Tong exchanged his life for the opportunity for Wu Guoming to justifiably take down Yuan Tan and take Zhao Guo!
