"Our army is short of food and grass, should we retreat without a fight? To attack the city, the city must be captured within three days."
"Boom boom boom!"
Xia Houyuan personally commanded the siege. After two days of tragic siege, nearly [-] soldiers were lost. In the evening of the second day, Xia Houyuan really captured Yangquan.
Guards Liang Gang and Wu Gang led more than 3 soldiers to escape from Yangquan City. Cao Cao's lieutenants praised Xia Houyuan as a famous general in the world.
The chief book exclaimed: "The general is brave, and he can definitely be called the number one general in our army."
Xia Houyuan said proudly: "A group of mobs, what's the point of worrying about it, wait for our army to take the lead in breaking through Lu'an, and then think about the Lord's merits."
"Report, General, some food and grass were found in the city, enough for our army for ten days."
Xia Houyuan thought for a while, the soldiers spent a lot of energy these two days, and they had to have a full meal.
"Let the soldiers have a good meal tonight, take a rest tomorrow, and then lead the army to attack Anfeng."
"promise!"
Chapter 305 Xiahouyuan was burned, Cao Ren was flooded, and Liu Ye shocked Cao Jun
Two hours before Yangquan City was broken, Liang Gang, who was commanding his soldiers to stop Cao Jun from attacking the city, suddenly received a secret letter from Liu Ye.
"The general prepares fire starters to hide on roofs and beams. When the sun goes down, he withdraws from Yangquan, leaving two thousand soldiers behind, hiding in the city, and letting them set fire to the city in the middle of the night when Cao's army is sleepy, but see the fire in the city. , the general can lead his army back and surely defeat Cao’s army.”
Liang Gang undoubtedly followed Liu Ye's instructions and hid many fire starters in the city.
In the middle of the night, the soldiers hidden in the cellar sneaked into the street. Seeing that the soldiers in the city were resting and there were very few patrols, they ignited the nearby houses!
"Go to the water!"
"Go to the water!"
"Go to the water!"
"Dangdangdang!"
"what……"
"Help me..."
The city was in chaos, and the fire was so intense that it could not be extinguished at all. Xia Houyuan looked at the sea of flames in front of him and gritted his teeth angrily.
"Quickly retreat outside the city!"
"Kill it..."
Just when Xia Houyuan was about to leave the city, Liang Gang and Wu Gang led the army and came back.
Xia Houyuan's soldiers panicked. They didn't expect that they would be attacked twice in a row by the opponent.
"No one is allowed to escape, kill me!"
Liang Gang and Wu Gang, seeing that Xia Houyuan's soldiers had no intention of fighting, had already forgotten Liu Ye's instructions, and committed suicide in person.
Seeing the two men, Xia Houyuan gritted his teeth with hatred, took off his bow and arrow, and aimed at Wu Gang with an arrow.
Among the chaotic army, the sound of shouting and killing was so loud that Wu Gang never heard the sound of the bowstring, not to mention that even if he heard it, he might not be able to avoid it.
"Pfft!"
Wu Gang was shot in the chest by Xia Houyuan's arrow, and fell off his horse with a plop. Liang Gang looked at Xia Houyuan in horror, and quickly hid among the soldiers.
The two armies fought until the early morning. Liang Gang couldn't resist Xia Houyuan's bravery, and led more than 1 remnants of the army, and retreated to Anfeng County.
Seeing that he had less than three thousand troops left, Xia Houyuan was so angry that his veins popped out, and his seven orifices smoked.
"Check it out for me, Liang Gang definitely doesn't have such a plan, let's see who is behind it."
After Cao Ren crossed the Huaihe River, he saw that no soldiers were intercepted along the way, so he became suspicious and ordered the army to station near the Weishui River, which is fifty miles away from the west bank of the irrigation water.
The scouts searched around and found that there was no ambush, so they boldly came to the bank of irrigation water.
"General Cao, the south is currently suffering from dry water nodes, and the irrigation water is only about three feet, so it is completely possible to walk across the river."
Cao Ren thought for a while and said, "Let the soldiers cross the river quickly. We must camp outside Anfeng City today."
"promise!"
The Anfeng he attacked was farthest from the Huaihe River, and he was afraid that Xia Houyuan and Li Dian would take the lead.
Ten thousand troops crossed the river collectively, and when they had just crossed halfway, they suddenly heard a rumbling sound.
Cao Ren was puzzled, did the other party send cavalry over?
"water!"
"Big water!"
Cao Ren's soldiers saw the river flowing down like ten thousand horses galloping down from the upper reaches. They were so frightened that they cried for their parents and ran towards the bank in a hurry.
Seeing his soldiers struggling in pain and suffering in the water, Cao Ren said angrily, "Kill that terrain officer!"
After the river stabilized, Cao Ren counted the soldiers and horses. Fortunately, the loss was not too much, only more than 800 people.
With this sneak attack, Cao Ren became more careful, marched slowly all the way, and sent more scouts to investigate.
Fortunately, there was no danger on the road. Outside Anfeng City, Cao Ren built a big camp.
According to their scouting news, Liu Xun's army was concentrated in Yangquan and Liao County, and Anfeng, where he was located, had only [-] defenders.
"Siege!"
In the early morning of the next day, Cao Ren led an army to Anfeng City. He sent 6000 people at one time to attack the four city gates at the same time.
Guard General Anfeng looked at the army outside the city and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Liu Ye asked him to guard here for a day, but it looked like it would be difficult for half a day.
However, he has principles, and he must not surrender at the beginning.
The two sides fought fiercely until noon, and the guard couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly shouted: "I am willing to surrender!"
"I am willing to surrender!"
When Cao Ren heard that the other party was about to surrender, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he ordered his soldiers to withdraw and regroup to prepare to enter the city.
Liang Gang, who had retreated from Yangquan, came to Anfeng County, and Tan Ma rushed to report.
"Report, General Liang, Anfeng County is being attacked by Cao Jun, and the situation is critical!"
Liang Gang was startled, how could there be Cao Jun here, this is the rear.
"How many people are there?"
"Six 7000 people!"
"Follow me to kill!"
"Kill!"
When Cao Ren was about to enter the city, he suddenly heard shouts of killing behind him, and his face turned pale with fright.
"Fake surrender!"
"I'm stupid, how dare you fuck me!"
Cao Ren hacked to death the Anfeng defender who came out of the city to meet him, and then led his soldiers to meet Liang Gang.
Cao Ren's army had been attacking the city for three hours in a row, and he was exhausted. No matter how brave his [-] cavalry were, they could not withstand the impact of Liang Gang's [-] cavalry.
The two sides fought fiercely until evening, each leaving the corpses of [-] soldiers. Cao Ren retreated to the camp, while Liang Gang retreated to Anfeng City.
"General, there are only more than 500 people left in our army, and there are 8000 defenders in the city. Let's withdraw."
Cao Ren was very depressed. He felt that Yuan Shu's soldiers were more difficult to deal with than before. Could it be that Yuan Shu recruited some famous people?
"Let me find out about all the counselors and followers under Liu Xun's account in Lujiang."
Chapter 306 Zhang Fei Suspects Dong Bai's Identity
"Reporting to General Zhang, more than a hundred soldiers wearing Dong Zhuo Feixiong's uniforms are seen in front of them, and they are rushing here."
Zhang Fei led a thousand soldiers to the mountains to the north of Fengxiang City. After going deep for [-] miles, they encountered a group of bandits.
Zhang Fei asked the soldiers to hide behind a tree and observed carefully.
Yin Kui explained that their soldiers were wearing the clothes of the Feixiong Army, and Dong Zhuo's soldiers were most likely wearing the clothes of the Feixiong Army, so he had to be careful.
If Cao Shuo's people are killed, then their agreement will be gone, and the elder brother will definitely blame him.
"Look, general, there is a woman in their team!"
"Woman?"
Zhang Fei looked surprised, the pursuers would definitely not bring a woman to chase them, they must be Cao Shuo's soldiers and horses.
But why did they bring a woman out of Chang'an?
Don't they hate trouble?
Or is there something special about this woman?
"Xiao Lizi, you go to contact them and tell them that we are our own people!"
"promise!"
"Hey, are you Jizhou Mu Caoshuo's subordinates?"
Xiao Lizi's voice spread throughout most of the forest, and the leader frowned, looking at the person standing in front, who was not wearing the clothes of Dong Zhuo's soldiers, he was puzzled.
"Whose subordinate are you?" Zhao Lan from Qianhu of Jinyiwei asked loudly.
"We are the subordinates of Yuzhou Mu Liubei!"
Yuzhou Mu?
This should be the Sili area. Even if they lost their way, they should have gone to Yizhou or Jingzhou.
Zhao Lan asked vigilantly, "Why did Yuzhou Mu come here?"
Zhang Fei on the side was full of embarrassment. How did he know why they came here? Obviously, the other party didn't ask him, but his elder brother Liu Bei.
Zhang Fei stood up and said, "Your master asked us to pick you up!"
"Is there evidence?" Zhao Lan still didn't believe their words.
"Evidence? This face of Lao Tzu is the evidence! Zhang Fei from Yan is unique in the world."
Zhang Fei glared at the other party angrily, and Zhao Lan finally believed Zhang Fei's words a little bit. He said with a sly smile, "I'm sorry, General Zhang, but we were also afraid of being ambushed by Dong Zhuo's men, so we had to be cautious."
Zhang Fei thought to himself, since they can come here from Chang'an, does it mean that they can also pass the defense of Wuguan from here?
"Let me ask you something, did you come here from behind Wuguan?"
Zhao Lan glanced at Zhang Fei in surprise, and said, "We entered the mountain from Shangluo!"
Zhang Fei looked excited, and hurriedly asked: "Can the mountain road here lead to Shangluo?"
"Yes, but the road is rough and difficult, and we came here only after a narrow escape."
"Can you leave two soldiers behind and show me a way, I'm going to Shangluo."
Zhang Fei looked at Zhao Lan eagerly, and Zhao Lan looked puzzled: "We have an important task to return to Luoyang, if the general can prepare a few carriages and fast horses for us, I can keep two people behind .”
Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Okay, Fengxiang City has already prepared the necessary supplies, and I will send a few people to take you there."
Zhao Lan hurriedly asked: "The general intends to use such a small number of troops?"
Zhang Fei asked, "Could it be that there are still many soldiers and horses in Shangluo City?"
Zhao Lan said angrily, "Shangluo city didn't have many troops, but after we entered the mountain, there were [-] more defenders, led by Dong Zhuo's general Yang Feng."
"Ten thousand?"
Zhang Fei was very surprised. If there were so many people, his thousand soldiers were really not enough. After all, they were all infantry.
Zhao Lan suggested: "If the general is trapped in Shangluo, wouldn't he be in danger without soldiers to support him? It's better to go back to Fengxiang City first and mobilize some reinforcements before it's too late."
Zhang Fei thought for a while, and felt that what Zhao Lan said was reasonable, so he returned to Fengxiang City with Zhao Lan.
"Little Five, Little Six, you two stay here and show General Zhang the way!"
"promise!"
Zhao Lan was about to drive the carriage out of the city when Zhang Fei suddenly stopped him and asked, "Who is this little beauty in the carriage?"
