The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 380

Today, the Xiaojie River is in the hands of the officers and soldiers.If Zhang Chenghua sent Du Yu and Guo Huai to lead troops from the Xiaojie River to attack Langya City, the situation would be very unfavorable to them.

He regretted it now, he shouldn't have listened to Kong Weilin's words and made such a big gamble.

If the army were left in Langya, Xiaojiehe could be taken back easily.Now there are less than 15 troops left in the city, and the new army from Pingqu is too powerful to send 5 people to assist in the defense.

Support is needed everywhere, if he cannot join forces with the Kong family, he will be in danger of failure.Originally, he only learned from Yan Baihu that Shi Xinghe was stationed in Chaoge, with a force of no more than one hundred thousand.In Jizhou, Du Yu's 6 horsemen will go south to support, and most of the local soldiers and horses in Qingzhou have fallen into his hands.

Unexpectedly, tens of thousands of new troops suddenly came out from Pingqu. If not for the rebellious warships of the Bohai Navy and their encounter at sea, they might have landed directly in Langya.

It has been more than ten days since I received a letter from Yan Baihu, I am afraid he has been discovered.Now that the Wang family has no eyeliner inside the court, they don't even know what the court will do next.

Wang Fan paced around the room: "Tune Deng Chengze's 5 people to take back the Xiaojie River. Even if we can't take it back, we must find a way to destroy the two bridges on the Xiaojie River."

"No, this way. Zhang Chenghua's army will be attracted, and we will be disadvantaged in the decisive battle in Xiaojiehe. We can only send elite soldiers to take back Xiaojiehe." His order was immediately vetoed by Wang Xiang.

Wang Xiang continued: "It's better to send 1 troops from Hou Anbu to take back the Xiaojiehe River, and then send troops along the Xiaojiehe River to set up a defense line. As long as the officers and troops can't attack the city, there will be no major problems."

Hearing Wang Xiang's words, Wang Fan nodded: "Your child is reckless. As long as we keep the Xiaojie River, we can continue to stop Zhang Chenghua's troops.

When Shi Xinghe's troops are defeated, we can join forces with the Kong family's troops to defeat Zhang Chenghua.There is no official army in Langya territory that can stop us! "

"Hurry up and take the soldier talisman to dispatch troops!" After speaking, he threw the soldier talisman to his son Wang Zhenghong.

After Wang Zhenghong left, Wang Xiang said to Wang Fan: "The situation in Langya is very delicate now, we must defeat Shi Xinghe's army as soon as possible. The new imperial army's combat power is too strong, and over time, there may be changes. "

Wang Fan nodded and said, "Father, don't worry too much. There are 4 people in Xuzhou who have already marched north. Wei Liang's army is about to be attacked, and our pressure will be reduced.

As long as the road to the flat and curved roads can be guaranteed, we have a way to replenish firearms and ammunition.If our hundreds of thousands of troops can use firearms, what else do we have to fear? "

Hearing his words, Wang Xiang nodded and did not continue speaking.

Now that Xuzhou's navy is fighting against the Bohai Navy at sea, their pressure is much less.Although it is possible to transport supplies to Xuzhou along the coastline, it is still a drop in the bucket for daily expenses.

Hou An's troops arrived late at night, and were spotted by a sentry post in the dark, and Di Cang was notified.Di Cang ordered people to enter the position, and the artillery began to adjust its angle.Just wait for Hou An's troops to come into range, and then attack them.

Hou An's men also found the ranger scouts with officers and soldiers, knowing that they had been exposed.Simply stop deliberately slowing down the speed, and lead the army to speed up and gallop towards the official army's position.The infantry in the back was pulled away for a distance, led by his lieutenant general to charge behind.

Seeing that the rebels had entered the firing range, Di Cang decisively ordered: "Fire!"

There were six artillery pieces captured, plus more than 20 mortars they brought.Before Hou An led the cavalry into the range of the infantry, the people who were bombed by the artillery turned their backs.It was difficult to attack the Xiaojiehe position for a while, so they had to turn their horses around and regroup.

There were not many shells in the first place, but Di Cang shouted vigorously just now, and now they are almost used up, only the mortars and dozens of shells are left.That is to say, if you can shoot twice intensively, you will need to face Hou An's army directly.

Di Cang was a little worried, he was suitable for annihilation battle.In the field, he can make full use of the mobility of the cavalry to destroy the enemy guerrilla.But now that he has transferred to the position, without the support of artillery, it will be difficult for him to resist Hou An's [-] troops.

"General, why don't I take someone to charge once. I will wipe out the cavalry of the rebels, and then I will harass their infantry from the outside. As long as our people arrive, there will be no problem." Lieutenant General Dong Shang said.

Di Cang shook his head: "You are a person who has studied in the Military and Political Academy, and you are more knowledgeable than me. You stay and lead the troops to defend. I will do the work immediately."

Dong Shang cupped his hands and said: "Obey! Before the last general dies, the Xiaojiehe position will not lose an inch!"

The soldiers behind also shouted: "Stay!"

"Defend!"

Di Cang led 1000 men and rushed out from the side of the position, rushing forward to Hou An's cavalry.Hou An had less than [-] cavalry, and lost hundreds of people during the charge just now.Now there are only a few hundred more people than Di Cang, but Hou An is very tough, leading his men to fight with Di Cang.

With a short distance of hundreds of meters, the two sides only had time to shoot each other for a round, and they fought hand-to-hand.Di Cang is now charging left and right among the rebel cavalry, the saber in his hand is flying, a cold light flashes, no one around him can stop him for a moment.

Looking at Hou An again, a spear is as graceful as a swimming dragon. Every time it comes out of the wall, it flashes like a cold light and can take away a life.The two soon noticed each other, and they started fighting each other, back and forth. For a while, neither could do anything to the other.

The strength of the official cavalry was much stronger than that of the rebels, and the melee gradually stopped after a while, and there were less than 500 rebels who could ride horses.Hou An also saw that the situation was not good, so he blocked Di Cang's knife with his horizontal spear, and urged his horse to run back.

Seeing that Hou An was about to escape, Di Cang wanted to lead his men to chase after him, when "bang bang bang" gunshots rang out.Hou An's infantry had already caught up, and several people around Di Cang were shot. He could only lower his body on the horseback and retreat with his men.

Cannons sounded from the Xiaojiehe position, and the shells fell on the rebel formation. Hou An, who had just returned with his men, was almost killed by the shells falling beside him.

The shock wave of the shell explosion shook Hou An off his horse, and he was carried back by his own soldiers.

Hou An didn't have artillery support, so he scolded his mother angrily: "Damn, wait for their artillery fire to stop. Let's rush up and chop them all!"

Soon the artillery stopped firing, and Hou An ordered his men to charge, trying to rush to Xiaojiehe's position in one go.Seeing that the rebels charged again, Dong Shang asked his men to shoot.There are not many shells left, and they can only be used at critical moments.
