Han counter current

Right now, the most important thing for us is to return to the Central Plains, but, my lord, the situation in Xuchang is a bit wrong, and my subordinates always feel a little strange, ahem. "

"I understand, you have a good rest, I will take care of the next thing."

Cao Cao naturally understood the meaning of Guo Jia's words. He left [-] elite soldiers in Xuchang, and there were many soldiers in the Central Plains.

But why did Xuchang refuse to send reinforcements when he was besieged?Could it be that Cao Cao's life is more important than Wancheng?

Now that he has broken through, Cao Cao naturally has to deal with these matters, but he is not in a hurry to go back to Xuchang.

When passing through Qingzhou, Cao Cao did not rush to march, but instead sent troops to plunder. The people of Qingzhou who had suffered so much were suffering again.

As for Gao Gan, he didn't even dare to say a word at this time, he just hid in Beihai with his tail between his legs.

Chapter 676

In the territory of Hetao, Gongsun Xu led the soldiers and horses under his command to hurry up and finally got close to the enemy's flank. At this moment, Meiji City was still in Zhang Liao's hands, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were still safe.

It's just that the civilians who hadn't had time to withdraw into the city suffered from the military disaster. Wei Yue led the army to sneak attack that day, and after a big battle with the enemy, it only temporarily relieved the pressure on Meiji.

Zhang Liao, who is also responsible for defending the city, hasn't slept well these days. Thanks to the expansion of Meiji City, the enemy's wish to capture this city on the grassland is simply wishful thinking.

In fact, even if Gongsun Xu doesn't come, Zhang Liao can hold out for at least two months. Jia Xu is also in the city. Although he is recuperating recently and has not been able to make suggestions, but when it comes to danger, he can still let these enemy troops break through the city. .

However, this Hetao can be regarded as a big rear area for Chen Feng. At the beginning, he spent so much energy to win it, and spent so much manpower and material resources on construction, because he wanted to build it into a big granary.

But the enemy army went south and burned, killed and looted all the way. If they can't be stopped as soon as possible, even if Meiji City can be saved, what about the people near Hetao?What about the fertile land minerals in Hetao?

When besieging Yecheng and attacking Jizhou, Chen Feng guessed that he might only get a dilapidated Jizhou in the end.

In other words, he took such a big risk that he might just gain some territory. If he wants to keep his own territory, he must ensure a stable rear.

This is also the reason why Gongsun Xu rushed into the Hetao. His mission is not only to defeat the enemy to resolve the crisis of Meiji, but more importantly, to ensure the integrity of the Hetao.

"Report, general, our army has arrived at the flank of the enemy army. The enemy army has a total of more than [-] people, twice as many as our army. They are currently camping and resting."

After the spies reported the information they had found to Gongsun Xu, they waited for Gongsun Xu's order. They killed 4 people, while the enemy had [-], almost twice as many.

"7 people? It seems that there is a discrepancy with the information we got at the beginning. Could it be that Liu Bao has recruited many helpers from other places.

Or, did this person instigate many slaves?Hmph, no matter what, now that I'm here, I won't allow him to be presumptuous. "

Gongsun Xu was not discouraged by the strength of his opponent. Although he only had less than 4 people, and although slaves accounted for more than half of his subordinates, this did not stop him from thinking of attacking.

In fact, Liu Bao did recruit a lot of helpers. Apart from Jiehu and other small tribes, he even contacted the Northern Huns.

At first he was in a hurry to go south, so the other tribes couldn't come at the same time, but now that Liu Bao has gained the sweetness in Hetao, and after getting the benefits, the other tribes became more enthusiastic, so they rushed here one after another.

Now, the remnants of the Southern Huns, part of the Northern Huns, the Jie tribe, Xianbei, and even the Di tribe have rushed to Hetao.

If Chen Feng were here, after learning the information, and contacting the enemy troops who were attacking the western part of Xiliang, he would definitely be amazed whether Wuhu Luanhua had arrived earlier.

If the enemy troops from Xiliang were counted, Chen Feng would have to face no less than 20 enemy troops in total.

There was a hint of determination in Gongsun Xu's eyes, the enemy army has 7 people, so what, he is going to attack now, to defeat the enemy army.

"Pass my order, the soldiers of the three armies set up camp on the spot, buried pots and cooked food, which gave me enough energy. The enemy army is ahead, and the battle achievements are also ahead."

As soon as this order was passed on, most of the officers and men in the army understood what Gongsun Xu meant. After traveling such a long distance, it was time to rest and then attack.

"Slow down, general, the enemy's army is powerful and our army is small, it is unwise to attack at this moment, in my opinion, it is better to send someone to contact General Zhang Liao and ask him to support our army.

In addition, General Meng Zhan has brought back the slaves, and now he must count the troops and go north to rescue. General Zhang Xiu is rushing from Mobei, and when our reinforcements arrive, they will definitely wipe out the enemy. "

Zhang Yan does not agree to attack now, and to attack with such a small number of people is a bit courting death.Furthermore, when Zhang Yan ruled the world, almost every time he waited until the strength of his side was several times that of the opponent before attacking.

Over the years, he has also developed this habit. It can be said that he never thought that he would use such a small force to take the initiative to attack.

"There is only one commander in the army, and that is me. You only need to obey orders, no need to say too much. My lord entrusted us with the heavy responsibility of rescuing Hetao, in order to let us resolve the crisis as soon as possible.

Hmph, if we wait here for reinforcements, what will the lord think of us, and what will the brother troops think of us? "

The other generals obviously had the same thoughts as Zhang Yan, but Gongsun Xu immediately spoke to stop the thoughts of his subordinates.

It's not that he doesn't want to wait for reinforcements, but he knows that if these enemy troops stay in Hetao for one more day, the infrastructure of Hetao will be destroyed a little more.

What Chen Feng wants is a complete river loop, a river loop that can provide food and grass to feed millions of people, cattle, sheep and war horses.

If the two sides wait until the arrival of other reinforcements, the two sides will fight again. By then, the Hetao will be full of holes.

The most important thing is that Gongsun Xu has learned that there are more enemy troops on the way, that is to say, Liu Bao also has reinforcements, and there are countless foreign tribes who want to come to Hetao for a share.

Under such circumstances, he, Gongsun Xu, could wait, but the people in Hetao couldn't wait, and neither could Chen Feng, so he had no choice but to attack.

After resting for one night, Gongsun continued to reward the three armies, and then commanded his subordinates to launch an attack on the enemy. Judging from this posture, he seemed to want to directly attack from the enemy's flank all the way to the city of Meiji.

The brutal hand-to-hand combat began, and Gongsun Xu promised a heavy reward to the slave army, which made the slaves who had just tasted the sweetness excited, and each of them wished to chop off a few more heads and return to their lives.

"Look, our reinforcements have arrived..."

On the tower, sharp-eyed soldiers saw chaos in the enemy's camp outside the city, as if the two armies were at war.

Gongsun Yue, who was cheering up the soldiers on the city tower, also ran to a vantage point to wait and see after hearing this.

"It's my brother, it's my brother's banner, my brother is here..."

At a glance, Gongsunyue saw the big flag with the characters of Gongsun rushing to kill in the enemy formation. Looking around the world, no one except Gongsun Xu would dare to resist such a handsome flag.

The soldiers and civilians on the tower quickly cheered. After being besieged for so long, they finally got reinforcements. Many people wept with joy, wishing to go out to cooperate with the reinforcements.

Outside the city, Liu Bao never expected that he would meet another formidable opponent. Whether it was personal bravery, resourcefulness, or military strength, Gongsun Xu was far above Wei Yue. This time, Liu Bao suffered a lot. up.

Chapter 677 Rescue Hetao 1

For several days in a row, Gongsun Xu led his army to launch a fierce attack on Liu Bao's camp. Although the slave army under his command was not very effective in combat, they had a strong will to fight.

Moreover, after each battle, the slave army under Gongsun Xu's command would cut off the heads of the enemy troops, and even they did not want to take prisoners alive, because Gongsun Xu only used the head to calculate the military exploits.

In this way, although the slave army on Gongsun Xu's side suffered a lot of losses, it also made Liu Bao's subordinates terrified. After all, no one wants to step forward when they encounter this group of head-grabbing lunatics.

Seizing this opportunity, Zhang Liao also organized several small-scale sneak attacks, which made the enemy troops outside the city suspicious.

If he hadn't shouldered the important task of defending the city, Zhang Liao might have led some soldiers in the city to launch a counterattack against the enemy. However, there was also an undercurrent in the city, and Zhang Liao didn't dare to make too much moves.

"General Qi, after fighting for several days, our army has suffered a lot of losses, and the soldiers are also very tired. So far, more than [-] slave troops have been killed or injured."

In the big tent, Gongsun Xu was listening to the reports of his subordinates. The fighting in the past few days was very tragic, and Gongsun Xu also noticed it.

He did not expect that the slave army under his command would be so excited just to compete for military exploits. Of course, he, Gongsun Xu, also fulfilled his promise in the shortest possible time. As long as someone can bring back the enemy's head, he will immediately give with corresponding rewards.
