Chapter 230: Capture the City
Chaoping and Feiyan took the lead in rushing into the enemy formation, and then cooperated with the vanguard troops under Cao Xinyang, who arrived, and quickly defeated this group of enemy troops.
Cao Xinyang led a large army to the front, and Chaoping shouted: "Feiyan, Youyun soldiers, follow me to find Brother Cao." After finishing speaking, everyone rode to Cao Xinyang's Chinese army array, and the flag officer asked Cao Xinyang for instructions under the flag, Cao Xinyang waved his hand, and a small soldier under his command naturally sent a message to let them go.
Soon Chaoping and they saw Cao Xinyang, Cao Xinyang said excitedly: "Donkey, why did you come, how did Miss Feiyan get to the border pass?" Chaoping said: "We heard that you led troops to fight here, and we came to respond." Cao Xinyang said with a smile: "Okay, you are in my Chinese army, and the top priority now is to capture that city." Cao Xinyang pointed to the small city in front of him, Chaoping clasped his hands into fists, and said: "Brother Cao, you can't delay now, why don't I be your vanguard and attack the city first, how about you follow?" Cao Xinyang was worried about Chaoping's safety, and didn't want them to go to the front to kill, usually this Chaoping is very gentle, and never asks for battle, but now Chaoping has said so, Cao Xinyang is not easy to refuse, so he won him, so he said: "Don Ma, how many people do you use?" Chaoping said:" As long as you send your left vanguard to lead his cavalry in a feint. Cao Xinyang didn't say a word, and gave an order, ordering the cavalry to follow Chaoping and them.
The reason why Chaoping wants cavalry is because he has already sent this Youyun soldier to inquire about the situation of the city, although the city is strong, but because of repeated battles, the city is all gone, and the city gates are all gone, all of them are damaged, and now the people defending the city are using a pile of wood to build a barricade, and then cooperate with the defensive formation of the troops to guard the city gate, these people have been fighting for several days, because there are constantly our stragglers harassing them, but they can't be attacked for a long time, and now Cao Xinyang's army has arrived, and is narrowing the encirclement.
Chaoping took Feiyan and Youyun soldiers to detour to the west, at this time Chaoping had already ordered those vanguard cavalry to attack from the east gate, Chaoping told them that as long as they could hold out for half an hour, the large army could arrive, and none of the enemy troops inside could escape.
Those cavalry arrived at the east gate, came up and rushed to kill without saying a word, but did not expect the enemy's defense to be very solid, both sides lost some troops, but they just couldn't get in, the vanguard officer rode a horse and led the troops to withdraw and carry out a second round of attacks, still couldn't get in, this vanguard officer understood what Chaoping told him to hold on to for half an hour, it turned out to be to let them hold this gate, afraid that they would escape, the north and south directions are deserts on one side, and the encirclement on the other, and they can't run in either direction, but the two city gates in the east and west are the most critical, which is the real intention of Chaoping。
Chaoping and Feiyan were behind, and the Youyun soldiers quickly killed all the guards at the city gate in front, and they entered the city, Chaoping told them to only kill the enemy soldiers wearing armor, and the rest, whether they were civilians or spies, as long as they did not carry weapons, they should not be harmed.
After Chaoping and Feiyan arrived in the city, the two people jumped out of the horse, jumped over the ridge, and performed the peerless light skills of the two people to explore the enemy everywhere, and soon they found several strongholds of the defenders in the city, Chaoping used the horn number, the unique contact code of the Youyun soldiers, to tell them the direction, they killed back and forth, these enemies could not be killed by a few of them, their intention was to see the location of the enemy, and soon Cao Xinyang's troops poured into the city, and the Youyun soldiers scattered and took them straight to the enemy's lair.
Soon there will be no enemy army in the whole city, the speed of this battle made Cao Xinyang unexpected, Cao Xinyang saw Chaoping and said: "You are fighting too fast in this battle, if you don't lead the way first, brother and I will lead the troops to rush and kill I'm afraid it will take a few hours, which has been captured in two and a half hours since you came." Chaoping said to Cao Xinyang: "Big brother, now that the soldiers are tired, it is better to quickly rest and eat something, and then lead the army to continue marching." The adjutant next to him asked, "General, should this place be searched?" Cao Xinyang roared angrily: "How can I have time to clean up the battlefield now, hurry up and let the three armies bury the pot and cook, rest for an hour, and then we will continue to march." After the adjutant received the order, he went down to give the order, and Chaoping said to Cao Xinyang: "Brother Cao, since the city has been lowered now, a few of us will leave, and we will join the army tomorrow." Cao Xinyang said: "Why is this?" Chaoping explained: "Brother Cao, now the military situation is changing rapidly, and the spies can't report the military situation in time. Cao Xinyang naturally knew what Chao Ping meant, and also understood that this matter was of great significance, Cao Xinyang then said: "Okay, brother, I may open the entire army formation tomorrow, and it will be impossible to contact the entire army in time at that time, and now there are still a lot of people stationed outside the city, do you need me to give you a token, so that you can transfer a whole battalion of troops at will?" Chao Ping naturally knew that he couldn't do this, he said: "Brother Cao, no, the enemy is in front, we are in these four turnovers, and it is useless to ask for troops." Cao Xinyang nodded, and then said goodbye to Chaoping and them.
Chaoping and Feiyan didn't go far, but the twenty of them looked into the distance on the city wall, a whole battlefield, corpses everywhere, Chaoping couldn't help but sigh: "I really hope the war ends soon." "Some of the corpses on this battlefield were even left days and months ago, and they haven't had time to bury them, there is Cao Xinyang's mighty army under the city, Chaoping asked the Youyun soldiers: "If you want to pass through this city, what will you do?" They naturally knew what Chaoping meant, Chaoping wanted to say that they passed through the defense line of these enemy troops, and what should the entire enemy army camp do.
The third said: "Master, the camp of this army is temporarily stationed here, so neither a military tent nor a wall is built, these people rest here grain and grass are stacked in blocks, although there are sentinels to defend, the soldiers are not unarmoured, but most of the people are resting, and we are cavalry, move quickly, I think as long as we attack with fire, and then ride through quickly." Chaoping nodded and said, "Yes, in this case, it will be easy to escape by avoiding the enemy's crossbowmen." Feiyan asked again: "How can you avoid the enemy's crossbowmen?" Chaoping said: "Those who have been in the army can naturally easily identify the position of each branch of the army in the military formation, okay, let's go down and go out of the city." Then the party went down the city wall and rode out of the city.
