Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

"Quick, hurry back to the city."

Zhao Yun sneered, still want to go back to the city?

"Fire arrows!"

Puff puff!

The White Dragon Army is equipped with newly developed hand crossbows, which can shoot three rounds at a time. Although the arrows in the quiver need to be loaded manually, it only needs to be pressed once, which is very convenient.

After two rounds of crossbow arrows, there were only more than 3000 people left in Su Fei's army.

"Surrender, as long as I order again, you will not be able to survive."

Chapter 432 Kuai Liang came to support, Xia Houyuan was defeated

"General, I don't want to die!"

The soldiers behind Su Fei began to throw away the weapons in their hands. If they fought with the opponent's soldiers, there was no possibility of surviving.

But now that they are shooting arrows directly, they have no chance to contact the opponent's soldiers. It is really aggrieved to die here like this.

Su Fei had no choice but to throw away the weapon in his hand. The opponent had too many cavalry, and he didn't fight them in close quarters. How could this battle be so big.

After Su Fei surrendered, Zhao Yun said, "How many soldiers and horses are there in the city?"

"Except for the soldiers who went out of the city, there are only more than 6000 people left."

Zhao Yun thought for a while, if Wenpin could escape back, the number of soldiers in the city would be close to 3, which still cannot be attacked by force.

"Do you have reinforcements?"

Su Fei returned and said, "General Wen sent someone back to Xiangyang, saying that he wanted one of the two brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue to come."

"Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue?"

Zhao Yun smiled slightly, these are rich people, if they are caught, they can be exchanged for a lot of things.

Now that the number of soldiers in the city has been reduced by half, Zhao Yun feels that there is no need to keep so many soldiers.

He called Zhao Feng and Xu Chu over, and said: "Zhongkang, you lead three thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry to support the generals."

"promise!"

After Xu Chu left, Zhao Yun asked Zhao Feng to remove the northern camp and the western camp to give Wenpin a chance to escape.

When Wenpin saw that the two camps outside the city had been withdrawn, he was immediately curious. The other party managed to surround him, but then they withdrew again. What was he trying to do?

"News, General Wen, General Su Fei is outside the gate of the east city, and the entire army has been wiped out."

"what?"

Wenpin was horrified, 8000 men and [-] cavalry were able to wipe out the entire army. How many enemy troops are there?

The soldiers replied: "The enemy's camp is full of cavalry, General Su Fei has surrendered."

"This……"

Wenpin was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat, he didn't expect his strategy to be seen through, could there be counselors in the other party's camp to help?

Wen Pin summoned the remaining generals and ordered: "Strictly guard the four gates, and never go out easily."

The young general Qi Wukai asked puzzledly: "General, the opponent has already abandoned two camps, why don't we take this opportunity to rush out of the city?"

Wen Pin shook his head and said, "The opponent did it on purpose. We only have a hundred cavalry left in the city. Once we abandon the city, we will be directly exposed to the opponent's iron cavalry."

He had already seen through Zhao Yun's scheme, and wanted him to escape from the city, and then sneak attack on the road, so he wouldn't be so stupid as to attack the city directly if he had the guts.

It is really whimsical to want to take advantage of the cavalry advantage and earn the city.

After Wenpin's request for help reached Xiangyang, Liu Biao still sent Kuai Liang to support him, and asked him to lead [-] cavalry and [-] infantry to cross the Yangtze River and rush to Wan County.

When Kuai Liang passed by Xinye, he encountered many deserters and asked hurriedly, "Where did you come from?"

"Sir Sikong, we retreated from Yuyang, which has been captured by the enemy."

Kuai Liang was horrified, Yuyang was only fifty miles away from Xinye, and Zhao Yun's marching speed must have been too fast.

"Where is General Wen?"

The soldier replied: "General Wen is besieged in Chi County."

Pheasant County?

Kuai Liang took out the map and looked at it. When Wenpin asked for help, Luyang and Ye County were still standing firm. He annexed Chi County as the backing of the two counties, and there was no problem at all.

But now that Wenpin is besieged in Zhixian County, the problem will be serious. Wanxian County is short of troops, and other counties have lost command and are fighting on their own.

It is easy to be defeated one by one by the opponent, Kuai Liang asked again: "Is the opponent a city forcibly attacking, or a city gate that was opened by fraud?"

"The other party pretended to be our soldier and opened the gate of the city!"

"not good!"

Kuai Liang secretly called out, if the city gate was opened fraudulently, it means that the opponent did not lose many soldiers at all.

While Kuai Liang was thinking about this countermeasure, an army of [-] cavalry and [-] infantry arrived at the foot of Xinye City.

Kuai Liang looked at the soldiers wearing their Han army uniforms outside the city, and was amazed. So many people, are they all deserters?

"Open the city gate quickly, the pursuers will come soon."

As soon as the voice of calling the door fell, a group of cavalry rushed in not far behind. Kuai Liang couldn't help frowning. He found a problem with these soldiers. A few looked nervous and fearful.

This is by no means what a defeated army should look like, Kuai Liang immediately ordered his lieutenant general to let them in later, and then shot them with random arrows.

"Open the door!"

Kuai Liang shouted loudly, the gate of the city slowly opened, and the soldiers from outside the city came bravely. When they were about to enter the city, many arrows were shot from the surrounding walls.

Xia Houyuan, who led the team, was startled, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to withdraw from the city, and he had a chance to withdraw when the cavalry behind him arrived.

More than 5000 people of 3000 people were shot dead by the opponent at once, making Xia Houyuan stomp his feet in anger. He had never encountered such a situation in four or five counties.

Xia Houyuan asked his soldiers to rest outside the city, and planned to go to Yuyang to rest for a while. However, the gate of Xinye suddenly opened, and many cavalry rushed out of the city.

"Kill it!"

"Kill this group of Wei Jun!"

"Never let the other party escape."

Xia Houyuan wiped off his cold sweat, and led the soldiers to retreat quickly. He personally led hundreds of cavalry to cut off the rear.

But the opponent's cavalry was too many, and they could also ride and shoot, which made Xia Houyuan suffer a lot.

When Xia Houyuan retreated to Yuyang, there were only a dozen cavalry left, and all the pawns were scattered by the opponent.

Xia Houyuan was very fortunate in his heart. Except for the cavalry, the others were soldiers.

Chapter 433 Kuai Liang succeeded in countermeasures, but Cao Shuo's army is powerful

The Xuanjia troops they brought were all new recruits who had come to the battlefield to practice, and their equipment was also eliminated fifty-smelting armor, which had very limited resistance to arrows.

After Xia Houyuan returned to the city, he found that the opponent's cavalry hadn't pursued him. He was very surprised. The opponent didn't pursue Chen Sheng?

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is most appropriate to attack the city while one's own soldiers are greatly damaged and morale is low.

But since the other party didn't come to attack the city, he didn't bother to pay attention to the other party. He sent his deputy to the camp in Zhi County to let Zhao Yun pay attention to the fact that the other party had a large cavalry outside.

In the evening, when Xia Houyuan was about to take a rest, three or four thousand troops suddenly came from the north, all dressed in their Wei army uniforms.

"Quickly open the city gate, General Zhao's reinforcements have arrived."

Xia Houyuan was overjoyed, he didn't expect Zhao Yun to send reinforcements so soon.

"Open the gate."

Just as the city gate opened, the sound of cavalry charging suddenly came not far away, and the soldiers who had just entered suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the Xuanjia army in the city.

Xia Houyuan was horrified, the other party actually used their tricks to gain their city, it was really abominable.

"Kill! Block the door for me."

The three thousand Xuanjia troops in the city are not comparable to the group of soldiers he led before. Although these soldiers are all new recruits, they still deal with them well.

The bows and arrows in their hands kept shooting, and the sword and shield soldiers blocked several important entrances to prevent the opponent from going up the city wall. The people in the city were not their people, and they didn't care at all.

Xia Houyuan personally led people to block the north gate, hacking and killing the puppet soldiers who rushed in.

The cavalry outside the city turned around in a hurry, and the soldiers at the gate blocked their way of charging, so they couldn't charge in at all.

"Let me get out of the way!"

The leader of the cavalry outside the city shouted loudly, and the soldiers blocking the door retreated one after another.

Xia Houyuan came to the door, stood there alone, and shouted loudly: "Xiahouyuan in Qiao County is here, who dares to fight."

When the cavalry leader heard that it was Xia Houyuan, he couldn't help taking a step back in fright.

The leader of the team was Cai Zhong, the left general of the Han army. He was ordered to attack the city, but he didn't expect that the opponent would be Xia Houyuan.

The soldiers who withdrew reminded: "General Cai, there are not many soldiers in the city, only three to four thousand."

"Ok?"

Cai Zhongzhong was overjoyed, what are three or four thousand people afraid of? He has five thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry behind him.

"Come in for me!"

Cai Zhong ordered a commander-in-chief, leading more than 1000 cavalry, to charge directly towards Xiahouyuan.

The two sides fought until the early morning of the next day, and the corpses of soldiers at the city gate were piled up like a mountain, blocking the way into the city.

Xiahou Dun paid the price of two thousand soldiers and resisted for nearly four hours.

Cai Zhong looked at the [-] cavalry and [-] infantry behind him, and he regretted endlessly. He knew that he would not have rushed to the city gate. Such a narrow location was simply not suitable for a large army to charge.

If he attacked the city wall, he felt that Xia Houyuan had already been taken down.

"Boom!"

Just when Cai Zhong was hesitating whether to attack the city again, another cavalry team came from the north, about ten thousand, and the leader was Zhao Feng.

When Cai Zhong saw that it was the Xuanjia Army of Wei State, he was so frightened that he led his soldiers and fled in a hurry.

"General Xiahou!"

Zhao Feng yelled outside the city, and Xia Houyuan strutted his body and walked towards the city wall. Seeing that it was Zhao Feng, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to open the east and west doors.

The north gate has been blocked, and it will take a lot of time to get in.

When Zhao Feng saw Xia Houyuan covered in blood, he couldn't help but wonder how many people he killed that night.

Xia Houyuan sat down on the ground and said: "You are here, this city will be handed over to you. I want to rest, and my soldiers need to rest."

Zhao Feng nodded and said: "I will leave 3000 people to help you defend the city, and then lead the rest to support the other generals. They encountered the same situation."

Xia Houyuan narrowed his eyes, and it seemed that the opponent had come to someone capable. He kindly reminded: "You have to be careful, the opponent not only saw through our strategy, but also used our strategy to deal with us."

Zhao Feng said to himself: "Don't worry, the cavalry I lead will not attack the city."

Kuai Liang divided his troops into five groups and used Zhao Yun's strategy to pretend to be the Wei army and earn the county town they captured. However, due to their limited clothing, they only captured one county town.

All other county towns were repelled by the tough Xuanjia army.

Kuai Liang in Xinye City was furious when he saw Cai Zhong, Cai He, Pang Ji, and Zhang Hu retreating back from defeat.

Fortunately, Wang Wei did not disappoint him, and beat back Gongsun Zan from Rang County.

However, this battle caused them heavy losses. Although they knew the opponent's strategy and cheated to open the city gate, the opponent's generals were too fierce, and they rushed into the city and were killed again.

Kuai Liang counted the soldiers, and there were only more than 4000 infantry left, and only more than 3000 cavalry left.

"Report, Zhao Feng, the general of Wei State, led the cavalry to kill outside the city."

"what?"

Kuai Liang hurriedly boarded the city wall, and was horrified when he saw the well-formed cavalry outside.

If the opponent is all cavalry, even if they don't besiege the city, they will not dare to leave the city easily.

Cai Zhong said: "Lord Sikong, Zhao Feng is an unknown young general, let me lead the cavalry and repel them."

Kuai Liang thought for a while, he had never heard of Zhao Feng, but he would never be like Cai Zhong, with a single mind, and he needed to send a young general to test it out.
