Chapter 554: Jizhou
At this time, Cao Cao also led his army across the river, but he could not relieve the siege of Nanpi and hastily withdrew his troops to Yecheng. The siege of Yuan Tan was solved, Tan saw Cao Cao, Cao Cao Xu was a woman, Tan asked Cao to attack Jizhou, "If the public does not go, then Jizhou will be returned to Bai and the state." However, Cao Cao thought twice about it and did not allow it after all, "Fang Jin's grain and grass are not accepted, carry the labor, I will help the river, curb the water into the white ditch, to pass the grain road, and then march into the army." ”
And more than 10,000 soldiers of Bailang have occupied the entire Wei County, and the light troops have rushed to the foot of Yecheng. Yecheng is Yuan Shao's lair for many years, the city is high and thick, and the defenders are quite sufficient. At this time, Yuan Shang had not yet returned to the city, and Bai Lang was too tired to attack the city immediately. "One person can't take Yecheng. So Bai Lang ordered to set up camp by the water, wait for a few days of cultivation before attacking the city, and at the same time ask the soldiers to build siege equipment.
Bai Lang is not in a hurry, it doesn't matter if he can't capture Jizhou, he is not in Jizhou to plunder the people. "I came here to hang the people and fight the crime of Kuang to help the Han family, just kill Hu, what is it to plunder the people of the Han family?" Or someone persuaded Bai Lang to take away some people to enrich the population of the state, Bai Lang replied. Although his people were careless in governing the army, his subordinates did not dare to violate military discipline in the end, so they did not disturb the people. Bai Lang sent back 1,000 cavalry and 7,000 foot soldiers, and escorted the military rations and goods he obtained from the Jizhou treasury back to Bingzhou, leaving only 3,000 foot soldiers and 2,000 cavalry to prepare for the siege.
At this time, Yuan Shang also came back from the east, and did not dare to enter the city directly, but only set up camp outside Yecheng as a horn. "This young son of the Yuan family is okay, he knows that if he enters the city in a hurry and is chased by a certain tail, he will break the city in one fell swoop, and now the garrison outside the city has become a full force. Let's see me break through its forces. Bai Lang said that, and directly led eight hundred cavalry to attack Yuan Shang. There are still three generals, Zhu Yan, Huang Liu, and Ma Biao, all of whom brought their own military horses to kill.
"Don't go to that white wave!" the three of them shouted together, one holding a phoenix-tailed knife, one holding a steel spear, and the other holding a long axe, and hundreds of horsemen followed behind them. Bai Lang just smiled, looked back at his subordinates and said, "Let's see that you kill these three generals!" With a long lance, Ma Biao, who was wielding an axe in front of him, had to block it, but where could he block it......
Bai Lang was like a lightning flash, a stab and then pulled out, the blood was already gushing out directly, Ma Biao was pierced through the throat by the palm-wide long lance blade, and his neck was almost completely cut, only the flesh of the breadth of the fingers on both sides still pulled the head of a dead man, and the head was directly covered by blood, and hung on the back of the back. The white wave swept with the long lance, and the strength was surprisingly great, while the Huangliu dance knife slashed at the white wave, but the white wave spear came first, and the blade and the lance blade directly hit a huge spark.
The phoenix tail knife was swung away, and Huang Liu just shouted, "Defeated." The horse was swept away, but the body was swept by the white wave lance, and the entire upper body was cut off along with the horse's head, and the last Zhu Yan spear stabbed with all his might, and the white wave reached out to the side of the body and grabbed it, holding the gun body just as soon as he pulled the Zhu Yan to fall off the horse, and the white wave lance reversed and used the lance to break the Zhu Yan into two. Jiao Ma Yihe killed three generals in a row, and Bai Lang directly took advantage of the situation to kill the three generals' personal guard cavalry.
The white wave lance circled and flew, directly killing a bloody alley, and there was no enemy in front of him. Eight hundred cavalry behind him also entered, and Sumeru scattered the cavalry in front of him, and followed Bai Lang into Yuan Shang's camp. Bai Lang's long lance picked a point of stabbing, that is, Yuan Shang shot with a heavy crossbow and was also half of Bai Lang's block, and a few shots on Bai Lang's body could not go deeper, which aroused this guy's ferocity even more. When the white tiger roared, the sharp sword qi shot out, directly causing a wide range of casualties.
At this time, Bai Lang had turned into a phantom of a white tiger wreaking havoc in Yuan Shang's camp, and he took eight hundred horsemen to directly kill Yuan Shang's camp, so Yuan Shang ran directly to Yecheng regardless of it. This person left the defeated army and dragged Bai Lang, but he fled into Yecheng with his guards, Bai Lang captured more than 20,000 prisoners in one go, "What's the use of someone like this?" Bai Lang saw that each prisoner was given dry food for a few days, and their armor soldiers were all sent back.
The next day, Bai Lang attacked the city, and he led dozens of guards to push the only ladder to rush to the city. Lang never thought that he could take this city, he just tried it one or two. Yecheng has a population of hundreds of thousands, where can Bai Lang's thousands of people capture, even his entire army can't fall into the city in one go. Bai Lang pushed the cart over and gestured a few times, "Sure enough, it can't be done, even if you can fly to the city, you can't grab the city without backup." ”
One day later, Bai Lang led the army to retreat, and he wanted to return to the state. "There are a lot of bad things in this state, so it's better to find someone to take care of it. It's not bad to hand it over to Xuande. On the way back, Bai Lang found a personal guard, and wrote a letter directly ordering him to go to Jingzhou to find Liu Bei, and in the book, he wanted to give up the position of the pastor of the state to Liu Bei.
Bai Lang retreated, and Yuan Shang attacked Yuan Tan's heart again. This person counted 100,000 soldiers and horses and went to Qingzhou to attack Yuan Tan again, and Yuan Tan sent a letter to Cao Cao for help. At this time, it was already the spring of the ninth year of Jian'an, and the white ditch had been opened, and Cao Cao's grain and grass could be directly transported by water.
Cao Cao led the army to attack Yuan Shang, and at this time, Bai Lang once again led the light cavalry to march for three hundred days and nights, and arrived dozens of miles outside Jizhou City without a sound. "Cao Gong attacked the two Yuans, and I expect that the two Yuan will inevitably lose together this time. When Cao Gong breaks this city, he can start an incident in the middle......" Bai Lang let out a hehehe Sure enough, among the two Yuans, Yuan Shang was defeated first, and was defeated by Cao Cao's army before reaching the plain.
However, Cao Cao did not pursue Yuan Shang, but directly led his army to capture Handan and then arrived in Jizhou. Bai Lang saw Cao Cao's military spirit in the distance, "I look at this qi, the big thing is harmonious!" ordered the light cavalry to enter secretly, and arrived more than ten miles away from Jizhou City to wait for Cao's army to break the city. After several months of siege, Cao Cao deceived Yuan Shang to defeat the reinforcements, causing Yuan Shang to flee to Zhongshan. Then Cao Cao dug up Zhangshui and attacked the city. "Sure enough, do it, absolutely not. Bai Lang said.
Xin Bi was outside the city, picking Yuan Shangyin's clothes with a gun and recruiting people in the city. The judge was furious, and beheaded more than 80 people in the Xinbi family house on the city and threw off his head. The Simpi wept. Seeing that Xinbi's family was killed, he was angry in his heart, so he secretly wrote a book of dedication, tied it to an arrow, and shot it down the city. When Cao Cao learned about it, he prepared. At dawn the next day, Xianrong opened the west gate and let Cao Bing enter.
Bai Lang was overjoyed, "The opportunity is here! All the kings will go with a certain one, this time it will be successful!" Bai Lang urged the war horse, this time he knew that there was going to be a big battle, but he never wore fish scale heavy armor, in order to retain horsepower. Cao Cao was rejoicing, but he heard the sound of thunderous horses' hooves coming from the rear, and the generals of Cao Jun looked at it but saw a white tiger flag with a "white" character written on it. "Meng De broke the water to attack the city, don't you feel that it hurts the sky and huh?" a tiger's roaring voice came from afar.
