Han counter current

On the right wing, there was a general shouting at Zang Ba's side. If Zang Ba's speed was followed, he might be able to rush into Yuan Jun's formation in a short while.

"Dry tongue,,,,,,"

Zang Ba bent his bow and shot an arrow, and killed the general seventy paces away with one blow, and then led [-] men behind him to charge towards Yuan Jun.

"What, Zang Ba, you, you actually..."

The situation changed too fast, and Zang Ba led his army to attack him, which made it difficult for Yuan Tan to accept. Moreover, behind Zang Ba's army, there were [-] Cao troops approaching in formation.

An hour later, the soldiers of both sides were still fighting hard, but Yuan Tan's side had already fallen into a disadvantage. Even if he had the superiority in numbers, he still couldn't save the defeated situation.

"Leader, don't panic, Zhang Xiu is here,,,,,,"

In the midst of a crisis, a large group of cavalry came from the north. Yuan Tan, who was in a state of anxiety, never expected that someone would come to rescue him, and it turned out to be Zhang Xiu.

"Huh? Zhang Xiu? Hmph, unexpectedly, Chen Feng still kept a hand here. It seems that Yuan Tan's life is not worth dying for."

After fighting for several days, although they all won, Cao Jun also lost some soldiers and horses. This is the main reason why Guo Jia wanted to use Zang Ba.

Moreover, taking down such a large area in Xuzhou and capturing many prisoners required soldiers to garrison them. Therefore, the Cao army that Guo Jia brought this time was only more than [-] people.

Originally, according to his resourcefulness, coupled with the desperate efforts of the soldiers, it would not be difficult to keep Yuan Tan, but unfortunately, now there is an extra Zhang Xiu, which ruined his plan.

Not long after, Zhang Xiu led the army to attack Li Dian's formation first. There was no hope of winning, so Guo Jia had to order the troops to retreat.

"Leader, I was ordered by the military division to come to the rescue. On the way, I got the news that Zang Ba had surrendered to Cao Cao, and the defeated generals of the Jizhou army led by Han Rong had already fled back."

"What, that's the way it is. Hmph, I hate that Zang Ba, you're such a fool. General Zhang Xiu, thanks to you this time, it's a good thing Cao's army didn't come here too much, otherwise, I'm afraid I'm going to be in trouble this time."

"Leader, don't panic. My lord has sent troops to threaten the rear of Cao's army, forcing Cao Cao to divide his forces. In a short time, Cao's army is unable to go north.

The alliance leader's return this time can strengthen the city's defenses and resist Cao's army. Our Hebei army will be able to resist Cao Cao's army together. "

"Okay, when I go back to Qingzhou, I will definitely train my soldiers and horses, and show Cao Cao some strength. General Zhang, thank you for your kindness, and there will be rich rewards in the future."

After repelling Cao's army, Yuan Tan and Zhang Xiu didn't stay too long. They retreated fifty miles together and then divided up. One returned to Qingzhou, and the other ran towards Bingzhou.

Chapter 485 The Arrival of Cao Cao 1

In the wilderness, a large group of soldiers and horses were advancing, and within a radius of ten miles, everything appeared barren to the human eye. Occasionally, birds and beasts appeared, and they were frightened and fled away by the army.

"Come on, where are you now?"

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, we have already passed the boundary of Xudu, and we can reach the territory of Suanzao in half a day's journey."

"No wonder, no wonder there is no one inhabited here, it turns out that we have arrived at Suanzao."

Running all the way, Cao Cao finally led the army to the west of Xuchang. With the arrival of this group of soldiers and horses, coupled with Cao Cao's banner, the hearts of the people near Xudu became more stable.

"At the beginning, the princes of the [-]th Route sought Dong, and they also took this path. After more than ten years, things changed and people changed, but this meeting place has become so depressed."

Looking at the scene outside the carriage, Cao Cao couldn't help feeling emotional.If you want to say which place suffered the most serious disaster in the Huimeng meeting against Dong, it must be Suanzao.

Compared with Luoyang, which was forcibly relocated, Suanzao has not recovered its vitality until now, and even a single family cannot be found.

Back then, tens of thousands of people were stationed here, and people ate horse chews every day, which was an astronomical figure. In addition, all the princes did not restrain their subordinates very much, and the people nearby were also affected by military disasters.

Cao Cao himself knew this very well. Those righteous men who kept saying that they wanted to attack Dong Zhuo did not show mercy to the local people in private. Even Cao Cao participated in it.

"Speed ​​up the march, send someone to Miaocai to order him to build a camp, the main force of our army will arrive soon..."

Putting aside those thoughts in his mind, Cao Cao turned his attention to the battle in front of him. Over the years, many princes have withdrawn from the stage, and many have become new princes. This Chen Feng is one of them.

Although the plan to conquer Hebei and unify the north this time is not perfect, Cao Cao has calculated every step, and Guo Jia also racked his brains to stabilize the north for Cao Cao.

It's a pity that Chen Feng made troubles many times, and finally even led the army to attack Chang'an himself. Now, he has captured most of Xiliang and besieged Cao Chun's troops.

In this way, after several years, Chen Feng was going to confront Cao Cao head-on again.For this opponent, Cao Cao also had the idea of ​​​​contesting with him very early.

"Report, report, Cao Jun is here again..."

Outside the Hulao Pass, a group of scouts whipped their horses and shouted all the way. Hundreds of steps behind them, a large group of cavalry cavalry galloped wildly, billowing dust and smoke into the sky.

"Hey, Cao Cao is here in person, it's interesting."

Looking at the handsome flag in the distance, and the conspicuous word Cao, there was a sneer on Chen Feng's face. He was about to meet the strongest opponent of this era. In Chen Feng's heart, there was only countless fighting spirit .

"Hey, everyone on the city wall is listening, now the prime minister is personally leading the troops to arrive, and those who are sensible should quickly open and close the door and surrender, otherwise, our army will break through the Hulao pass, and no chicken or dog will be left behind..."

Cao Zhang waved the long halberd in his hand, and the three hundred soldiers around him also roared like a show of power, and that posture seemed to be able to break through the Hulao Pass at any time.

"Cao Cao, long time no see, how can you play this kind of child's tricks? If you are really capable, you can come to attack, why use your mouth."

On the pass, Chen Feng waved his hands, as if he was greeting Cao Cao, but he didn't know, he thought they were very familiar.

This roar made Cao Cao laugh angrily. After driving the horses, Cao Cao looked up at the pass in the distance, and could vaguely see the shadow of Chen Feng.

"The Battle of Liyang in the past, let you take advantage of the loopholes, I thought you would improve a little over the years, but I didn't think you would still only be so stealthy.

Chen Feng, this Hulao Pass cannot stop my footsteps. In the past, when the [-] princes sought Dong, I broke through Hulao Pass. Today, you can't hold it either. "

"Hahaha, Cao Cao, anyone can say big things. If you are really capable, let your horse come here. Back then, you were almost killed in Liyang. This time, you have to be careful."

Both of them were arrogant and arrogant people, and they refused to give in when they played tricks. Before the war started, the two current princes shouted directly from the air.

"Father, this Chen Feng has closed the door tightly. It seems that he is determined not to leave the pass to face the battle. Are we really going to attack?"

Cao Zhangce stepped forward immediately, but kept his eyes on Hulao Pass. On the pass, thousands of enemy soldiers bent their bows and set arrows, and some were busy setting fires and pots.

Judging by that posture, it is indeed necessary to stick to the end.Moreover, the enemy's commander, Chen Feng, just stood on the pass and commanded, and he had no intention of leaving the pass to fight.

"This shows that Chen Feng's troops are not enough, hmph, it seems that he went south in a hurry and cannot lead too many troops, that's why he was in such a hurry to take down Hulao Pass.

It's nothing more than wanting to use the Hulao Pass to stop our army from advancing westward. My son Chen Feng, these years have passed, and we haven't made much progress.

After passing the order, the archers stepped forward, ready to fight the enemy, first to test the enemy's details, and then make plans. "

Cao Cao's eyesight is so sharp, although it seems that there are many defenders on the pass, so many people and horses running back and forth, but Cao Cao can't hide this.

He also knows Chen Feng very well, and he knows that this person belongs to the wolf.When the strength is sufficient and the timing is right, he will definitely find a way to take advantage.

When his own strength is not strong enough and the timing is ordinary, he will hide and peep.Therefore, Chen Feng's tenacious defense of Hulao Pass could only prove that he was short of troops and dared not go out of the city to fight in the field.

"Testing? Hehe, Cao Cao is Cao Cao. I'm afraid he will figure out the reality on my side after some shooting.

Li Ru should have arrived in Chang'an. He should understand the situation here. Presumably reinforcements are on the way. If so, then I will stick to it to the end. "

In fact, Chen Feng did not have enough soldiers and horses. The cavalry who followed him to Hulao Pass were only about [-], which was far behind Cao Cao's [-] elite. If he dared to go out to fight in the city, he probably would not be able to return. .
