The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 469
Dongli Gun and Zong Ziqing also had a hard time defending, and they might not be able to defend in another two days. Then Hou Yin saw that he could not make a strong attack, so he sent Wei Kai to lead some soldiers out of the city to detour outside the north gate, and carried out front and rear flanking attacks.

Cao Ren caught a few people on the road and learned about the situation. He was overjoyed and speeded up to the north gate. When he saw a group of people holding a banner with the word "Wei" blocking the gate and attacking the defenders on the city, he knew it. This is another rebel leader Wei Kai here, so he led a charge of cavalry to disperse the rebels, and then it was time to hunt.

The infantry was unable to resist the cavalry after being dispersed. Wei Kai was rushed to the front by Zhang Liao and hacked to death.

Dongli Gun, who was defending on both sides, saw a cavalry suddenly approaching from outside the city, and quickly defeated the Wei Kaibu who had stabbed his chrysanthemum. He was still holding a banner with the word "Cao", so he knew that Cao Ren was coming, and quickly sent people to open the city. The door let Cao Ren's cavalry enter the city.

Zhang Liao took the lead and led his cavalry into the city. He then ordered people to remove the fences, earth bags and other defenses blocking the road, preparing to wipe out Hou Yin's rebels.

Hou Yin heard the soldiers on the opposite side suddenly cheering loudly, and saw many cavalry suddenly appearing in the opponent's formation.

But those with two legs could not run faster than those with four legs. After Cao Jun cleared the road, Zhang Liao led his cavalry to chase Hou Yin. After a while, he caught up with the deserters and defeated them. Even Hou Yin was captured alive by Zhang Liao. .

Wei Kai was dead, Hou Yin was captured, and the rebels fled everywhere. However, under the pursuit of the cavalry, few people could escape, and most of them were killed or captured.

After Cao Ren entered the city, Dong Ligun and Zong Ziqing hurriedly came to see him. Dong Ligun was still a little clever, and immediately knelt down to plead guilty after seeing Cao Ren.

At this critical juncture, Cao Ren still needed Dong Li Gun to stabilize the order in the city. Besides, if this guy hadn't occupied the north gate to defend, he would not have entered the city so easily, so Cao Ren scolded Dong Li Gun first, and then After affirming his contribution, he finally said that he would report it to King Wei for decision.

Zong Ziqing said: "General Cao, when Hou Yin rebelled, he sent someone to send a letter to Fancheng. I am afraid that the Chu army is already on the way now, so I ask General Cao to send someone to investigate quickly."

After Cao Ren received the news in Runan, he had expected this when discussing with Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Le Jin, Man Chong and others. This was also what he was most worried about.In case he was unable to take back the city after arriving at Wancheng, Nanyang would no longer belong to Cao Cao when the Chu army arrived.

Fortunately, Dongligun guarded the north gate and created an opportunity for Cao Ren. So while Cao Ren wiped out the rebels and took over the city defense, he sent cavalry south to investigate the situation.

Cao Ren had just set up the city defenses and stabilized the order in the city, when he received information from scouts that the soldiers of Chu army came to Wancheng in two ways, one by the water and the other by land.

The army from the water flew the banner with the word "Fu", and the army from the land flew the banner with the word "Guan".

Cao Ren had fought with the Chu army for many years, and he was familiar with Zhang Wu's generals. The army on the water should be led by Zhang Wu's general Fu Xun.Although this Fu Xun was not very powerful in force, he defected to Zhang Wu very early, and he was proficient in water station and land warfare, fought bravely, and was very cautious.

As for the troops coming from the land, either Guan Yu personally came or they were led by Guan Ping. Both father and son were difficult to deal with. Cao Ren knew that not only could he not defeat Guan Yu, but he could not defeat Guan Ping as well.

It's really dangerous. If Dongli Gun and Zong Ziqing hadn't held on to the north gate, it would be very difficult for the [-] cavalry to capture the city. In two days, when the Chu army arrives, Wancheng will be destroyed again. I can't get it back either.

However, the current Wancheng is still in great danger. After a rebellion just now, people's hearts are unstable and the city's troops are insufficient. If the Chu army attacks aggressively, it may be lost again.

It's best to think of a way to boost morale.

So Cao Ren ordered Zhang Liao to lead [-] cavalry to station outside the city, and he left [-] cavalry to maintain order in the city, and then asked Dong Ligon to send strong men from the city to go up to the city wall to help defend the city.

There is an elite cavalry outside to support them, which can prevent the opponent from attacking the city boldly. As long as they persist until Le Jin's [-] infantry arrive, the crisis will be over.

To Cao Ren's delight, Cao Zhen rushed to Wancheng with [-] cavalry the next day.

In order to eliminate hidden dangers, and also to deter those who are uncertain, Cao Ren ordered the beheading of hundreds of people from the Hou Yin and Wei Kai clans, and all those who participated in the rebellion, whether military or civilian, were executed.

Thousands of people were executed in one stroke, blood flowed into rivers at the execution place, and corpses piled up into mountains.

Dongli Gun couldn't bear it, but he didn't dare to intercede. He is still guilty of a crime. Although the death penalty is exempted, he still doesn't know how King Wei will punish him.

The navy led by Fu Xu moved quickly and arrived near Wancheng first, which was right on the edge of the Jishui River.He left 500 men to guard the ships, first sent scouts to Wancheng to inquire about the situation, and then ordered the remaining soldiers to go ashore to assemble and march towards Wancheng.

As soon as the team was assembled here, the scouts came back to report that everything in Wancheng was normal, and the defenders had gone to inform Hou Yin, and urged them to speed up their march to take over the city.

After Fu Xun led his troops to the south gate of the city, he made people shout loudly to let the other party open the city gate, and at the same time let Hou Yin come out to meet each other.

The south gate of Wancheng slowly opened, and the defenders on the wall shouted: "General Hou will be here soon, please enter the city quickly!"

Fu Wei still retained some caution and did not enter the city first. Instead, he ordered one of his lieutenants to lead five hundred soldiers to go in first to see the situation.

When the five hundred soldiers entered the city, the south gate of Wancheng suddenly closed, and Fu Wei shouted: "No! There is an ambush!"

At this time, the ground shook for a while, Fu Xun was shocked, there were cavalry!

At this time, encountering cavalry in this kind of place is simply terrible. There is neither terrain to rely on nor heavy long-range weapons. If you are rushed by the cavalry, you will be finished immediately!
Fu Xun didn't care about the five hundred soldiers who were tricked into the city anymore. Most of the time, the most important thing now was how to deal with the incoming cavalry!
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat to the boat!"

There was no other good way but to run away, because the soldiers under him were all sailors. Without heavy armor and weapons, they were unable to fight against the cavalry.

If it was the heavy infantry of the Wuwei Battalion, they would not be afraid of the cavalry coming to charge the battle, but these sailors who went ashore were no good. Zhang Liao's [-] cavalry defeated Sun Quan's [-] army, and it was the sailors who went ashore that broke.

It was Zhang Liao who led the cavalry to make a surprise attack. Seeing that the opponent was fleeing desperately, he immediately led the cavalry to rush in from the middle of the opponent's formation to penetrate the enemy's formation and divide the opponent into two. Chase and kill the Chu army in front.

Fu Xun didn't dare to resist. In this situation, no one could stop him, not even Zhang Wulai.No matter how strong a person's military strength is, it is impossible for one person to single out two thousand cavalry, let alone Zhang Liao, a top cavalry general.

Fortunately, Wancheng was very close to Feishui. Fu Xun led his people to run desperately, and finally ran to the edge of Feishui. The Chu army didn't care about other things, and jumped down the river to escape for their lives. pursuit.

Once the Chu army boarded the boat, Zhang Liao had no choice but to turn around and continue chasing and killing the Chu army who did not escape.

After Fu Xun fled to the boat, he was afraid for a while, and he was almost doomed. If they hadn't been close to the water, no one, including himself, would have been able to escape.

After counting the number of people, Fu Wei almost fainted. There were only less than 3000 people left out of 500 at the time of departure.In addition to the 500 people who stayed behind, of the 500 people who came ashore, 2000 were tricked into the city and must have been killed. The remaining 500 people were attacked by the opponent's cavalry, and less than [-] escaped.
