Han counter current

If those Hebei soldiers were to attack the city, they would inevitably be suspected of killing people with a knife, so what Chen Feng could do was to send slaves from the north to the south, and use their lives to spend with Cao Cao.

Over the years, Chen Feng captured a large number of foreign captives in Sanhan and other places on the grasslands, and most of those who survived became his slaves.

Under normal circumstances, the work of these slaves is to reclaim wasteland and repair infrastructure. When it comes time to go to the battlefield, these slaves have no choice.

Most of the slaves who were arranged in Youzhou came from Sanhan and the east of the grassland. They had little contact with wars in the past, and now they have to hurry up and march in order to reach Yecheng as soon as possible.

This time the incident happened suddenly, most of the generals around Chen Feng were excellent cavalry generals, and none of the military advisers under him were present for the time being. It can be said that Chen Feng had to rely on Chen Feng himself in the end if he wanted to wipe out the enemy army.

Fortunately, Gao Zhong happened to be training troops near Le Lang. After getting the news, he immediately led [-] men to the south by boat, while Lu Xun and Mu Fu had arrived in Youzhou before, and when Chen Feng besieged Yecheng, they set foot again. the territory of Jizhou.

In this way, the embarrassing situation that Chen Feng had no one to use was temporarily avoided, but if he wanted to use the manpower in front of him to encircle and wipe out Cao Cao, it seemed to be too difficult for him.

"Report, my lord, the [-] slaves transferred from Bingzhou arrived earlier and are waiting outside the camp."

"Report, my lord, General Gao Zhong came from the east, thirty miles away from here."

Two reports in succession finally made Chen Fengxi smile. Originally, he wanted to wait for the [-] slaves from Youzhou to arrive, but who knew that the slaves from Bingzhou would arrive sooner.

"Haha, my brother-in-law is really quick at handling things, not bad, not bad, Cheng'er, on behalf of Wu, go and settle those slaves, let them have a good rest, and don't treat them badly.

Meng'er, Xiao'er, on behalf of the two of you, immediately go to meet Zhong'er as a father. In terms of the ability to attack cities and villages, General Gao Shun was second to none.

Zhong'er has learned a lot about General Gao Shun's abilities in these years of training outside, and now is the time for him to show his talents. '"

"No, the child takes orders,,,,,,"

Hearing that Chen Feng would let a young doll take command of this battle, some people in the tent were still not convinced.

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are not bad, after all they have to command most of the cavalry, and they also have the task of patrolling Yecheng and supervising the south.

As for the Hebei generals who had just surrendered, their minds became active at this time, and some people already wanted to use this opportunity to improve their advancement.

"My lord, the last general has made a new vote, and he has not made any achievements. Now that the Cao bandits are trapped, we will go to battle to kill the enemy. Please allow me, my lord."

It was Lu Kuang who spoke first, and his brother Lu Xiang also came out to ask for orders. Originally, Chen Feng was too embarrassed to order them directly, but now, he just took the opportunity to give orders.

"Here, two generals, Cao's army is fierce. You are very tired waiting for your subordinates. Why don't you take a rest and wait until your strength recovers before attacking the city."

"My lord's words are wrong. Our army is exhausted, and Cao's army is even more so. When we are resting, Cao's army is also resting. Therefore, we cannot give the enemy a chance.

Besides, the lord has dispatched [-] slaves to arrive, and we can just select the young and strong from them to form a death squad, in order to defeat Yecheng as soon as possible. "

"Well, the general is really a warrior. Come here, get some wine. I want to toast General Lu Kuang. This is a good man from Hebei."

Since Lu Kuang insisted so much, Chen Feng naturally wouldn't shirk anything, and he really didn't want Cao Jun to rest, the siege battle had to be on all the time.

After the fierce battle started, Gao Zhong led [-] subordinates into the camp in a low-key manner. If Chen Feng hadn't specially sent two adoptive sons to welcome him, others would probably have known about the young general's arrival.

"Come on, Brother Mu, this is General Gao. I told you that, back then, he was ordered by the lord to go south and established a huge territory in the south."

Outside Chen Feng's handsome tent, Lu Xun explained to Mufu with a smile that he had been to the south before, so he was very familiar with Gao Zhong, so the lord introduced him to Mufu.

"After General Gao Shun, then I really want to get to know each other, and I hope I won't be disappointed."

Mu Fu nodded with a smile, and then went forward with Lu Xun to welcome the young general.

With the arrival of troops from the north one after another, the Cao army in Yecheng is now becoming more and more dangerous.

Chapter 661 The Siege of Hetao 1

Time passed quickly, and when Chen Feng was busy attacking Ye City and wanted to kill Cao Cao in one fell swoop, the bandit army from the northwest also arrived at the outskirts of Meiji one after another.

Zhang Liao had already moved the nearby people and herdsmen into the city ahead of time, so he was ready. The soldiers and people in the city also knew that there was a bandit army coming to plunder, and they were very excited and scared.

This is really the first time after Chen Feng took down Meiji, an enemy army was able to lead an army to kill here. Over the years, many people have already thought that this is the rear.

"Come on, it really is the remnants of the Huns, Liu Bao, if you dare to trouble me, I will kill you. Come on, I, Zhang Liao, are waiting here."

Since he was young, Zhang Liao has often participated in wars against alien races. When he was Ding Yuan's subordinate, he had accompanied the army to attack the Huns many times.

There were also many times when the cavalry of the Huns marched southward, besieged Yanmen Pass, or crossed the Great Wall into the interior to burn, kill and loot. It can be said that Zhang Liao knew the Huns very well.

Outside the city, teams of thieves ran back and forth whipping their war horses, and the dust from trampling was flying everywhere, creating a terrifying atmosphere of an enemy coming.

It has to be said that although the Huns lag behind the Central Plains in civilization, they have their own way of marching and fighting.

For example, in front of them, many Hun cavalry don't actually know why they did this, but they will automatically create an atmosphere every time the battle starts.

If they were facing an ordinary Han army, they would probably be frightened by the sight in front of them. After all, cavalry were running back and forth, and it was impossible to count their numbers.

Back then, Liu Bang led an army of hundreds of thousands to attack the Huns, but was besieged by Maodun on Baideng Mountain.

In many stories that have been handed down, they all tell that the Huns were so powerful in that battle that they dispatched 40 cavalry to completely surround the Han army.

But in fact, if the Huns could really gather 40 cavalry at that time, it is estimated that Liu Bang would have nothing to do.

The main reason is that the army commanded by Liu Bang lacked experience in fighting grassland cavalry, and Liu Bang's commanding ability was really average, so he was besieged.

From many sources of information, it can be roughly inferred that the number of cavalry in Maodu's hands at that time was at most 10,000+.

That time against Liu Bang, there were tens of thousands of cavalry at best.It's just that Mouton is too cunning, and each cavalryman carries one or two more horses, and it takes up more space and area when arrayed.

It made it impossible for the Han army at that time to estimate the number of the opponent, and only believed that the opponent's army was all over the grassland.

Some people have even proved with reason and evidence that at that time, the cavalry led by Mao Dun was probably more than 4 points, but they surrounded hundreds of thousands of Han troops.

The Huns were galloping on horseback just outside the city. They wanted to have a psychological warfare first, so as to knock down the morale and courage of the defenders inside the city.

But they overlooked one thing. Most of the troops guarding the city came from the frontier or grasslands, and the grassroots officers among them had all experienced bloody battles.

Many lieutenant colonels scoffed at these little tricks played by the Huns.In their view, if the Huns were really capable, they should attack the city directly, so why put on a show.

"Soldiers, the thieves are nothing more than that. General Hussars has led his army and will wipe out the enemy army in a short time. Our army will surely win..."

Just as the two sides were confronting each other, a crisp voice sounded from the tower, and Gongsun Yue walked up the tower under the protection of a group of ghost-faced soldiers, constantly cheering up the defenders.

When Zhang Liao saw it, he immediately stepped forward to salute. This was his mistress. Originally, Zhang Liao should have sent her away first.

"Mistress, the tower is dangerous, the enemy is about to attack the city, please take care of the mistress, just stand back and watch the battle."

"General Zhang just takes command and doesn't need to worry about me as a woman. The soldiers have all gone up to the tower to fight. As one of the members of Meiji City, how can I back down.

General Zhang, you have been in battle for a long time and have rich experience. Please tell me the truth, how long can our army last in this battle? "

"This, to be honest, the enemy came in a surprise attack, and our army was unprepared. Originally, there were 10,000 elite soldiers and [-]+ slaves in the three major camps near Meiji.

If they can enter the city, defeating the enemy is a breeze.However, the three major garrison camps were unable to protect themselves, so they retreated hastily, before returning to Meiji in time.
