Unparalleled Huaxiong of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 276 The Master's Order

On the top of the mountain, the two men, one man and one man, are Cao Cao's two powerful helpers—Cao Ren and Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu looked at Su Butai, who was galloping out with a horse, and sneered:

"Everyone knows that Huguan is the gateway of Jizhou. Huaxiong's plan is huge, so he will definitely send people to guard it. That death order from Chang'an really becomes a death order when it comes to this battlefield!"

Cao Ren lowered his head and said in a low voice, "It's just a pity for Zilian."

"General Zixiao, don't be sad. If General Zilian hadn't attacked Anyi and disrupted the enemy's food supplies, how would we have succeeded now? After we capture this enemy general, we will replace him with Hua Xiong."

Cao Ren nodded silently, secretly hoping to catch Su Butai alive this time.

On the battlefield ahead, Cao Jun's attacking soldiers suddenly stopped, and then turned around and ran back one by one. The Subutai on the opposite side did not chase after them, and was about to withdraw their troops and return to the pass.

The two armies are facing each other, and the opponents are infantry. They advance halfway and then retreat. Subotai, as a cavalry general, should lead the cavalry to rush up to surprise the enemy at this time. This behavior of giving the back to the enemy cavalry can be said to be Giving away the head, but Su Butai did not forget that the order given to him by both Hua Xiong and Xu Huang was - guard the Huguan!
Originally, Yang Chun had already taken away two thousand cavalry from Huguan last night, and if he took away some more, there would only be 3000 people left in Huguan. Su Butai dared not make mistakes, and the other party's behavior was obviously too abnormal , so Subotai did not order the pursuit.

However, just as Subotai and others turned their horses, Cao Jun came back again. Subotai looked coldly at these Cao soldiers who ran back again, and couldn't figure out what these people were thinking for a while.

A strategy for exhausting soldiers?

But running around like this, it seems that they are more tired, right?

Cao Jun's soldiers on the opposite side are all infantry, and Subotai's side is all cavalry. Subotai ordered all the soldiers to stand by at the same time, watching the enemy army on the opposite side approaching step by step.

Subotai secretly calculated the distance in his heart, as long as the opponent stepped within a hundred steps of himself, he would immediately order another attack.

Two hundred steps, 150 steps, one hundred steps
Subotai raised the scimitar in his hand, and a rough voice sounded:

"kill!"

Immediately behind Subutai, the three thousand cowardly Xue troops rushed towards the Cao army again, and just when Subutai led the cowardly Xue army and the soldiers of Cao Jun were about to fight together, from outside the Huguan, a line outside the horizon The black line suddenly rose.

In the slightly cold morning wind, a large banner with the words "Hejian Zhang Yun" written on it slowly appeared!
Followed by a team of strong and vigorous infantry, the front row of infantry is still carrying the ladder for siege, the two wings of the infantry are thousands of murderous Jizhou cavalry, and the soldiers in the rear are holding longbows, The quiver on his back was filled with feathered arrows, and the leading general held a majestic spear. It was Zhang He Zhang Junyi who was later hailed as one of the four court pillars in Hebei!

When the news of Qu Yi's defeat in the early stage came back to Yecheng, Han Fu was shocked. It happened that people from Yanzhou at this time actually proposed to Han Fu to jointly fight against Hua Xiong.
At that moment, Han Fu and Cao Cao hit it off, and they both wore the same pair of trousers.

In fact, Cao Cao had already started planning when the Huaxiong soldiers entered Hedong, including Han Fu in Jizhou, Zhang Yang in Taiyuan at this time, Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, and even Zhang Yan from the Black Mountain Army received Cao Cao's invitation.

At this time, Zhang He led a total of [-] horse infantry to the outside of Huguan. He looked at Huguan, and sure enough, there was no one in the city. It seems that the information given by Cao Cao before was accurate. How to defend the city on the wall?
According to the information from Cao Cao and Qu Yi’s defeated soldiers who fled back from the previous battle, the opponent’s cavalry is extremely powerful, with about ten thousand cavalry. Of the 2000 people who were robbed of food, there were at most six or seven thousand cavalry in Huguan at this time.

With such a large number of cavalry, how could they be able to withstand the siege of their own 3 people if they had to divide their troops to face the attack of Cao's army on the other side of the pass?

But thinking of these cavalrymen, Zhang He suddenly felt terrified. In order to hunt the scouts outside the Huguan last night, Zhang He personally led the team into the battle, not to mention the loss of dozens of people, and just like that, a few of them escaped!
Therefore, the siege plan that was originally agreed to wait for the soldiers in Huguan to run out before starting the siege plan had to be advanced, which led to the current scene. At this time, Zhang He clenched the spear in his hand, waved it in the direction of Huguan, and ordered loudly:
"attack!"

"Kill!"

Immediately, the [-] Jizhou Army's frontline infantry ran towards Huguan, and the ladder carried by the crowd did not encounter any obstacles, and they reached the foot of Huguan easily!
On the tower of Huguan City, as early as when Zhang He and his troops first appeared, a partial general who was timid with Xue Jun ordered someone to send a message to Subotai, but at that time Subotai had just killed Cao Jun. In the past, Cao Jun suddenly turned his head and fled before the battle, and the person who reported to Subutai has not returned yet!

At this time, several lieutenants in the pass discussed it, and immediately they decided to gather troops and horses to fight out!

Qu Yi, who was at the side, became impatient when he heard the general's decision. He had already surrendered to Subutai. If Huguan was captured by the Jizhou army outside the pass, how could Han Fu treat him kindly?
Qu Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said to those few generals among the cowardly Xue army: "Right now the enemy is encircling on both sides, we should gather all the cavalry to break through in one direction, so that we can survive!"

"With the strength of our cavalry, no matter which direction we break through, we can tear a hole and rush out!"

As soon as Qu Yi said this, those generals who were timid about Xue Jun immediately looked at Qu Yi coldly. It seemed that Qu Yi had said something very rebellious just now, and one of the generals said to Qu Yi in a cold voice:

"My lord's order is for us to guard Huguan, not break out."

Qu Yi was startled. He looked at the other generals, and found that these people had the same meaning as the general who spoke to him just now. Qu Yi stamped his feet anxiously. Are these people fools?
Right now Qu Yi almost pointed at these cowardly generals and scolded them as idiots*, but he was only a surrendered general and he didn't make any achievements, so he obviously had no right to speak in front of these generals at the moment.

In the end, Qu Yi was really angry, and he asked a few people in a dark voice: "If the general ordered you to die, will you go too?"

Several generals looked at each other, their voices were filled with determination:
"My lord's order, I swear to obey it to the death. If the lord lets us die, it doesn't matter if we die!"
