The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Niyang is located on the northeast bank of Nishui, and the south and north of Guyun Mountain are Yang, so it gets its name.

Moreover, Niyang is located in the hinterland of Jitou Mountain, surrounded by steep mountains.

There is only a slightly flat road in the west of the city, which leads directly to Yiju City in Beiyuan.

Therefore, when the army was still three miles away from Niyang, Ling Tong suddenly called Huchuquan Shanyu over.

"Chan Yu, Ben has a task for you, I hope you can complete it!"

Hu Chuquan thought that Ling Tong would send him as the vanguard of the siege, so he immediately looked forward to it.

However, Ling Tong's words instantly disappointed Hu Chuquan Shanyu.

"Shan Yu, I ordered you to lead five thousand Huns to go around Niyang City and lay an ambush three li along the road west of Niyang.

Don't let anyone pass! "

Hu Chuquan looked puzzled, but he himself was under the jurisdiction of Ling Tong, and he could still meet with his peers on weekdays.

But in wartime, military orders are like mountains, and they can only be executed unconditionally.

But he was so far away from the main battlefield, how could there be any experience?

Before leaving, Ling Tong noticed the emotion on his face, and comforted him: "Shanyu, don't be confused. When the battle starts, you will know the purpose of this general! Go!"

Hearing this, Hu Chuquan had no choice but to lead the Huns to the location designated by Ling Tong.

In fact, the reason why Ling Tong sent him there was to block the escape route of Cao Jun in Niyang City.

Because when it came time to attack the city, some of Cao's troops must have seen that the situation was not good, and fled out of the city in the chaos, rushing to Cao Cao's camp for help.

In the chaos, it is very likely that you will not notice it, and maybe Cao Jun really escaped.

Therefore, Ling Tong arranged in advance for Huchuquan Shanyu to wait on the only way to escape from Niyang to the west.

In this way, those fleeing troops will definitely throw themselves into the trap, and it is impossible to escape.

The reason why Huchuquan Shanyu was sent there was mainly because the Huns were good at field battles and not good at siege.

So when attacking the city, they were useless at first.

Instead of making them dismount and attack the city, encircling deserters can give full play to their mobility and flexibility.

After watching Huchuquan Shanyu's soldiers and horses disappear into the distance, Ling Tong finally ordered loudly: "The whole army marches, take Niyang in one fell swoop, and then have lunch, and eat beef today!"

When all the soldiers heard this, they immediately cheered loudly, and their pace quickened instantly.

Finally, the city wall of Niyang County slowly emerged on the ground. The city is located between two mountains, just guarding the road that goes in and out of Beiyuan.

It wasn't until this moment that the defenders in the city finally discovered the appearance of Ling Tong's army.

But the defenders in the city were not tense, and even the alarm was not sounded.

Because they were very confused about the army that suddenly appeared from the mountain, and they didn't know whether it was a friend or an enemy.

Seeing this, Ling Tong accelerated his speed without hesitation, and finally the army came to the city.

At this moment, the old, weak, sick and disabled in the city finally saw the flag and clothes of the opponent clearly, and only then discovered in horror that it was the enemy army.

At this time, it was too late to sound the alarm, because after Ling Tong arrived, he immediately started attacking the city without the slightest hesitation.

Niyang City is located in the rear of Cao Cao, and the defenders in the city are not vigilant at all.

Coupled with the fact that they are old, weak, sick and disabled, they have not formed effective resistance at all.

Although Ling Tong's army rushed all the way, they did not carry siege equipment.

But the opponent's situation is even worse, even Rolling Stone and other defensive equipment are not complete.

It wasn't even until Ling Tong's army had begun to attack that the city gate finally closed slowly.

Without the siege ladder, Ling Tong directly focused on the city gate.

A fierce battle for the city gate began under Niyang City.

The sparse bows and arrows shot down from the city wall could not effectively kill the army holding shields at all.

On the contrary, those Cao Jun who leaned out were continuously shot and killed by Ling Tong's army, and the number of them became smaller and smaller.

After less than an hour of charging, the city gate was finally breached by Ling Tong's army.

Then the army rushed into the city immediately. At this moment, those Cao troops had already lost the will to continue to resist.

Terrified, they quickly raised their hands and surrendered, and a fortified city was taken by Ling Tong by surprise.

When Ling Tong cleaned up the defenders who were still resisting in the city, he found that the west gate of Niyang City was actually open.

As expected by Ling Tong, someone has already escaped from here.

However, although those fleeing troops reacted quickly, they escaped the fate of being wiped out by Ling Tong.

But they didn't know that there was a killing god waiting for them ahead.

Hu Chuquan Shanyu had already arrived at the designated place, but his heart was still full of doubts.

At the moment, he was bored and was shooting arrows for fun. Looking at the arrows on the big tree directly in front of him, it seemed that he had been shooting for a long time.

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes coming from the direction of Niyang City attracted Hu Chuquan's attention.
