Han counter current

It was a completely correct decision for Zhang Xiu's troops to attack the weakly defended cities.Keeping Pengcheng from attacking was also expected by Guo Jia.

However, what Guo Jia didn't expect was that there would be a group of soldiers and horses coming from the sea, and after landing from the East China Sea, they would defend this place, and the Cao army in Xuzhou could not counterattack.

In less than half a month, the East China Sea has become the rear of Zhang Xiu's army. A large amount of logistics materials have been transported from the sea, and the wounded and spoils have been transported away from the sea. The Cao army in Xuzhou can only look forward to it. look at.

"Chen Feng, Chen Feng,,,,,,"

Inside the camp, Guo Jia's complexion was very bad, it could even be said to be pale.He wasn't surprised that the situation in Qingzhou had become so deadlocked. After all, Gao Zhong was already the No. 1 of the younger generation, and he had so many advantages.

But Zhang Xiu's more than [-] soldiers and horses were the beginning of disrupting the entire battle situation.The fall of Xuzhou cut off a source of food and grass for Cao Jun who was going north, and even the back road was in danger of being cut off.

Cao Cao, who was attacking Jizhou, felt something was wrong now.Although the troops Chen Feng dispatched were not many, their effect was even comparable to that of the [-] troops on the frontal battlefield. Most importantly, the troops only focused on Xuzhou and were not at all arrogant Means to attack Yanzhou or Yuzhou.

Cao Cao's headaches were far more than these. Liu Bei, who was far away in Jingzhou, not only sent Guan Yu to lead an army north to attack Wancheng, but also sent Zhang Fei to lead [-] to Yuzhou to attack Runan and other places.

As a result, there are now three other forces on Cao Cao's territory, and these three forces have seized part of the territory, which is actually fatal to Cao Cao.

In Hanzhong, a lot of caravans have come from Xiliang recently, and the brigades have also moved over. After Wei Yan escaped from Wancheng, Chen Feng wanted him to guard Hanzhong because of his hard work.

For more than a year, Wei Yan has built Hanzhong like a railway, and even specially formed a mountain army composed of local elites, mountain hunters, and barbarians. This guy obviously focused his attention on Yizhou.

"Here we come, we come, go and report to General Wei."

On the city tower, a sentry saw a cloud of dust rising in the distance, and a large group of cavalry came galloping from the northwest.Such a large formation is really rare.

"Wen Yuan, you came too slowly. If you come one day later, I won't wait for you."

On the school field in the city, Gongsun Xu, who was supposed to lead the army to fight in the Western Qiang territory, was smiling at the dusty Zhang Liao at the moment, and Ma Chao, Wei Yan and other generals beside him were also smiling.

"Forgive me, forgive me, everyone, Mobei is far away from here, and I took a detour through the western grasslands and drove here through the mixed grasslands of Hu and Qiang. This journey is really dusty every day.

It is my fault for making you wait so long. After this battle is won, I will definitely offer wine to you to make amends.Hahaha, but, don't leave me alone in this battle. "

At this military academy field, most of Chen Feng's generals who stayed in Xiliang and Chang'an were here. Except for Xu Huang guarding Xiliang, the others such as Gongsun Xu, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Wei Yan, Pang De, etc. All of them are fully armed.

"Everyone, the lord and the military adviser spent two years and spent countless manpower and financial resources to lay out this situation. Now we will complete it. The important task of unifying the north will be completed by us.

I, Gongsun Xu, have been training soldiers in Xihai for almost two years. These two years can be regarded as suffocating me. Let me say it first, Xuchang must be mine. "

"Hahaha, General Gongsun is so proud. It's just that, attacking a city depends on ability and luck. If I arrive in Xuchang first, I won't wait for you."

Ma Chao's face was also full of excitement. Last month, he suddenly received a transfer order, and then led the elite of the headquarters back to Yongliang Camp, and then arrived in Hanzhong in disguise for training.

It was only after he arrived that he discovered that Pang De and Ma Dai also led the elite of the headquarters to arrive almost at the same time. The strangest thing is that they all received the transfer order at the same time, but no one could understand why.

It wasn't until Gongsun Xu led the elite of the headquarters to arrive, and then the 3000 fully armed Tabai Army came from the north in five batches. At this moment, everyone realized that something big was about to happen.

Now, they waited until Zhang Liao arrived at the end. A plan about unifying the north and making contributions was finally about to start. The excitement in everyone's hearts can be imagined.

"My lord, the final general will never let you down..."

Gongsun Xu and Zhang Liao looked at each other, and then smiled knowingly together. It seems that among the generals present, they were the only ones who really knew about this plan.

Chapter 718 The Power of Whale Devouring Part 1

To the west of Jingzhou, in the territory of Weixing, thousands of elite soldiers from the northern border have been stationed.It is adjacent to Hanzhong, Chang'an in the north, and Wancheng in the east. It can be described as a strategic location for the Xiliang garrison and Chang'an garrison.

After all, if you go south from Weixing, you can directly enter the hinterland of Jingzhou, and if you go east, you can storm Wancheng. After Chen Feng captured this place, he strengthened his defense in order to control this strategic point in his hands.

In the past two years, outsiders didn't care about this territory. After all, the Northern Border Army had already occupied such precious lands as Hanzhong and Chang'an. Places like Weixing could not be compared with Chang'an or Hanzhong.

But now, Gongsun Xu led the generals and [-] troops to arrive. In addition, tens of thousands of slaves came from Chang'an and Hanzhong continuously. After passing through this place, the territory can be expanded.

"Wen Yuan, you and I will divide our troops here. The military commander is unparalleled in resourcefulness, and the master is very courageous. Such a big plan is set up for the purpose of unifying the north. You and I must implement a key step in the plan."

"General Gongsun, don't worry, the general will definitely defeat Jingzhou soldiers and horses in the end, and don't let those Jingzhou native dogs mess up the master's plan."

"Hahaha, Wen Yuan, after you have been in Mobei for two years, your courage has become weaker. Let me tell you first, Xuchang is mine, and you will definitely not have a share by then.

If the lord hadn't wanted to attack Xuchang and Wancheng at the same time, heh heh, the credit for hindering the Jingzhou army would certainly not be yours.According to intelligence, the chief general of the Jingzhou army who attacked Wancheng was Guan Yu, and he is an old acquaintance with you. When the time comes, you must not show mercy. "

Gongsun Xu had a smile on his stern face. To be honest, if he hadn't been incapacitated, he would not have given Zhang Liao the credit for attacking Wancheng.

In order to ensure the success of Zhang Liao's side, Gongsun Xu left the two generals Ma Chao and Ma Dai to Zhang Liao, and at the same time asked Yan Cheng to be Zhang Liao's deputy.

In contrast, although Gongsun Xu himself kept the white army by his side, the only famous fierce general was Pang De, and there was also a young Wen Meng.

Zhang Liao has more than 8000 elite soldiers and horses, and another [-] slaves. Judging from the number, it is indeed smaller than Guan Yu's [-] army, but in terms of the combat effectiveness of the army, Zhang Liao's side is probably no worse than Guan Yu's. .

"Hahaha, General Gongsun is really good at joking. I have a personal relationship with Guan Yu. How can I, Zhang Liao, abolish the public for personal reasons? Don't worry, since Guan Yu is here, he will definitely not be able to leave. Then Wancheng, I will make a decision." .

General, at that time, let me break Wancheng first, and then help you break Xuchang, and take Cao Cao's hometown for the Lord, what do you think? "

"Wen Yuan, speak as you say, don't brag, whoever will help at that time may not be sure."

Gongsun Xu has 2 white troops, and another [-] elite cavalry. As for the slave army, there are also [-] soldiers.In addition, there are tens of thousands of slaves on their way.

Although Xuchang, which Gongsun Xu wanted to attack, was stronger and more troublesome, he was not worried at all.In these years, Gongsun Xu led the white army to fight in the north and south. He has gone through countless battles and is very familiar with everything on the battlefield. For him, this battle is not too difficult.

A few days later, the two armies appeared near Wancheng and Hulao Pass almost at the same time.The already chaotic situation became even more chaotic because of the appearance of these two soldiers and horses.

Guan Yu led his soldiers and horses to storm Wancheng for some time. The Cao army in the city suffered heavy casualties.

However, just when Guan Yu had just won the victory and finally reached the completion, a cavalry force of more than [-] men attacked the rear of Guan Yu's army and burned most of the food and supplies.

After Ma Chao led the troops to raid the back camp of the Jingzhou Army, he led the army to charge for a while until Guan Yu led the main force back to rescue. Although this sneak attack did not cause much damage to the Jingzhou Army, the food, grass and supplies were almost destroyed.

In desperation, Guan Yu had to lead the remaining soldiers and horses to hide in Wancheng, and at the same time strengthen the city defense to prevent the sudden appearance of the Northern Xinjiang Army from attacking Wancheng.

This kind of scene is the same as the scene when Chen Feng just captured Wancheng and soon fell into the siege of Cao Jun, but this time, it was the Northern Border Army who took the initiative.

On the other side, Gongsun Xu led the army through Weixing, passed through the northern part of Jingzhou, and detoured to the east of Hulao Pass. General Pang De led [-] cavalry to set off first, cutting off the road between Xuchang and Hulao Pass.

As a result, the thousands of Cao troops in Hulao Pass were cut off from their source of food and grass.As for the west side, it had already been blocked by Hao Zhao's army. As a result, Yu Jin, who was already in an embarrassing situation, became a lone army.

After Gongsun Xu led the main force to arrive, Yu Jin's hope of breaking through was completely wiped out.Xuchang is controlled by Sima Yi, so he will never send reinforcements over.

Moreover, in order to be able to control Yu Jin's soldiers and horses, Sima Yi had been extremely strict in terms of food and grass, in order to be afraid of Yu Jin's hoarding of military rations. .

After several days of siege, Gongsun Xu sent people to surrender while collecting information about the surrounding area.With no food stored inside and no reinforcements outside, Yu Jin had no choice in the face of the powerful enemy Gongsun Xu and his army.

In the end, Yu Jin had no choice but to lead thousands of soldiers and horses under his command to surrender.Of course, he can choose to resist to the end, and Gongsun Xu won't bother him at all. As long as he is trapped for a few more days, everyone in the forbidden department will starve to death.

So far, Gongsun Xu has pulled out the nail of Hulao Pass and opened up the connection with Chang'an.Hao Zhao was ordered to lead his troops to Hulao Pass to ensure the supply of food for Gongsun Xu's army.

"Pang De listens to the order. In the name of the commander, I order you to lead five thousand horses and kill them to Xuchang now. Remember, Xuchang is Cao Cao's lair. There must be no shortage of food, grass and supplies. Your task is not to attack the city, but to attack the city." Create the illusion that the main force of our army has arrived.

Also, the lord has mentioned many times that Sima Yi is insidious, cunning, and resourceful. Although he has never been in a war, his viciousness and strategy are no less than that of a military adviser.
