Han counter current

Under the night, Cao Chun led [-] cavalrymen under his command to attack, while the Xiliang army relied on the camp to counterattack in search of a breakthrough.

In a certain corner, a pair of eyes were staring coldly at the distant fire, like a wolf watching its prey.

When the Xiliang army turned their attention to Cao Chun, and when Han Sui was thinking about how to repel the enemy army in front of him, the wolf lurking in the night finally made his move.

The first target Cao Zhen chose to attack was the camp of Qiang soldiers and horses. Since he had inquired clearly before and knew the locations of these camps of Qiang soldiers and horses, he indicated that Cao Zhen's attack route was very clear.

"Another enemy army? Not good, they are coming for us, sons and daughters, take up your weapons and fight back with me..."

Compared with the calm Han Sui, Shaodang Pharaoh's personality was much more irritable. When he learned that someone was attacking his camp, he immediately led the [-] cavalry around him to launch a countercharge.

"Great opportunity, there is no way to hell, you send it up, come, the crossbowmen are ready..."

For this surprise attack, Cao Zhen was well prepared. He had gathered two thousand crossbowmen by his side. This was his secret weapon.

"shoot,,,,,,"

The penetrating power of the crossbow arrows is very strong. Although it is more difficult to wind the string after using it once, the power of two thousand crossbow arrows in salvo directly caused heavy losses to Laowang Shaodang, and even Laowang himself was hit by one. Crossbow arrows.

Cao Zhen, who came prepared, seems to have gradually grasped the initiative on the battlefield.

Chapter 471 The Oriole Is Behind 1

In Pengcheng, the main force of the Cao army has completely besieged the place, and the main force of the allied forces in the city can only shrink within the city wall to seek comfort.

"Damn it, Cao Jun is still unwilling to retreat. If this continues, the food and grass in the city will not be able to support it."

On the city wall, Liu Bei was complaining. Cao Jun's attack frequency was not high, but he successfully consumed the physical strength and morale of the defenders.

In particular, there are more than [-] soldiers and horses gathered in the city, and the food and grass consumed every day is a terrifying figure. If Liu Bei had some food reserves, and if Yuan Tan hadn't abandoned the food and grass when he led the army to break through, I am afraid that the defenders in the city would have collapsed long ago.

"My lord, is our army attacking the city today?"

In the camp outside the city, Cao Cao was observing the map. Most of Xuzhou had been captured by him. Except for Pengcheng, the no-man's land in the south, and a few cities in the north, the rest of the places had obeyed his orders.

"No hurry, Miaocai, just keep an eye on the city gate and the main roads leading to Pengcheng. There are many ways to take Pengcheng, and we can choose the easiest one."

With more than [-] soldiers and horses, trapping more than [-] allied troops, such a thing, I am afraid that only Cao Cao can do it. Looking at the world, who has the courage.

"The enemy army did not dare to go out of the city, nor did they dare to break through the siege, so they are the turtles in the urn, but our army is always wasted here, and we will also consume a lot of food and grass.

If Pengcheng is captured as soon as possible and the enemy forces in the city are eliminated, our army's plan to attack Hebei can be implemented ahead of schedule.

Besides, my lord, Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Yuan Shang still have a lot of soldiers and horses in their respective territories. We are wasting here, giving the defenders more time to prepare.

At that time, even if our army takes Pengcheng, I am afraid that if we continue to go north, the resistance will only be greater. In the opinion of the general, it is better to take Pengcheng as soon as possible. "

Xia Houyuan is considered a veteran on the battlefield, and he is also one of the generals under Cao Cao who is good at thinking. From the perspective of the entire battle situation, there is nothing wrong with his suggestion.

"Hehe, Miaocai, when we fight on the battlefield, we should broaden our horizons, how can a mere Pengcheng be our goal.

As for the rest of the defenders in Hebei, hehe, they are just local chickens and dogs, so there is nothing to worry about. Once our army defeats Paipengcheng, how can those miscellaneous fish stop our army's advance. "

Cao Cao is very confident. These years of war and experience have already formed him into a calm character.

Hearing this, Xia Houyuan seemed to understand something, and his intuition told him that his lord did not seem to be interested in Pengcheng.

"Well, the envoy sent to northern Xinjiang has returned."

Guo Jia carried a jug and staggered into the big tent. Behind him was the envoy who had just rushed back to the camp.

"My lord, my subordinates have lived up to my lord's trust and have returned from Youzhou."

"Get up, have you seen Chen Feng before on this trip to the north?"

Cao Cao put down the map in his hand, turned to stare at the envoy and asked, "I don't want to take so long to go to the north this time, but what happened?"

"There was no accident, it's just that the subordinate followed the lord's order and went to Bingzhou at the beginning. When he was in Shangdang, he found out that General You rushed to Zhuojun, Youzhou not long after he returned to Bingzhou.

Afterwards, the subordinates went all the way to Zhuojun at full speed, met many caravans on the way, and they all said they were going to congratulate General You on his wedding.

So, my subordinates also bought some gifts, and wanted to pay a visit to General You in the name of congratulations. Who knows, when I arrived in Zhuojun, I didn't know that the happy event had just ended.

General You also led his wives to the area around the Great Wall, so his subordinates went around several times, but they never saw General You himself, which also took a lot of time. "

"Happy wedding? At this juncture, he still wants to get married? Interesting, what does this guy want to do? Do you know who he is marrying?"

Cao Cao had a playful smile on his face. After besieging Pengcheng again, he sent envoys to the north.

Because, he heard that Chen Feng had returned from the grassland, which was not a good signal, especially at this juncture, if Youzhou sent troops, it was very likely that all his arrangements would be disrupted.

Therefore, he had to figure out Chen Feng's intentions.However, who would have thought that the first thing this guy would do when he came back from the grassland was to get married.

"General You married the former concubine of Marquis Wen."

"Oh? That woman? This Chen Feng is also a man of temperament. After all, he can't escape the beauty pass. But why did he rush to the Great Wall?"

The concubine of Marquis Wen is naturally Diao Chan. At first, Cao Cao imprisoned her in his backyard, waiting for the day when she would surrender. Unfortunately, Cao Cao let Diao Chan run away before she could wait.

A mere woman is nothing compared to his great career. Although he missed this stunning beauty, Cao Cao is just a little regretful.

"It is said that Budugen, the king of Xianbei in the middle, has the posture of gathering troops and horses, threatening the safety of Meiji City in Hetao.

In addition, according to the report of the spies, a magic medicine sent by General You to search for it was found and is about to be sent back.

This medicine was prepared for his wife, Gongsunyue. After being attacked by the Huns last time, Gongsunyue not only had a miscarriage, but also suffered from the root cause of the disease.

It is very likely that she will be infertile from now on, so General You sent someone to find the magic medicine. It is said that this medicine must be taken as soon as possible, otherwise it will lose its effect. "

Cao Cao nodded after hearing this. It was not easy for the envoy to get so much information. Chen Feng's sudden return and then his hasty departure really made Cao Cao very puzzled.

In this attack on Hebei, except that Chen Feng did not personally lead the army to participate in the battle, and Yuan Shang hid in Yecheng and did not go south, the rest of the Hebei princes were trapped in Pengcheng by Cao Cao.

To a certain extent, those Hebei princes in Pengcheng are just a group of pigs he raised in captivity. As long as the time is right, he will slaughter them all unceremoniously.

However, Cao Cao always felt that things were not that simple. Chen Feng would not lose sight of the overall situation, and he would certainly not sit back and watch the princes of Hebei suffer.

"Feng Xiao, what do you think of this matter?"

"What do you think? Hehe, Yuan Shang'er is nothing to worry about, but Chen Feng has to be on guard. Whether he is in Youzhou or outside the Great Wall, we have to be careful.

I believe that he will not watch us slaughter the Hebei Allied Army, but he also does not want to be caught by our army's strategy of encircling the spot to fight for aid.

Perhaps, at this moment, he is thinking of a way to get the best of both worlds, but I am sure that this person, like a wolf lurking in the night, will rush out to bite us at any time. "

"It seems that I didn't fight hard enough. If that's the case, then our army should solve Pengcheng as soon as possible. Miaocai, attack the city and drain the morale of the enemy army for me."

After taking the order, Xia Houyuan immediately went down to make arrangements. No matter what, there were still the main forces of the Hebei Allied Forces in Pengcheng. If this group of people could be dealt with as soon as possible, it would be of great help to Cao Cao's great cause of going north.
