In addition, they are fighting locally, so supplies are very easy,
However, Cao Jun's supply line is long, and if he is not careful, he will be dragged into the quagmire, and it will be difficult to get out of the whole body.
It may be difficult to encircle and fight for reinforcements. Yuan Xi of Youzhou is likely to go south with Yuan Tan and Wuhuan people. If Cao Cao allocates too many troops to stop them, Yuan Shao may come out here directly.
If Yecheng is captured in a short period of time, Yuan Shao will surely perish; if he fails to capture Yecheng before reinforcements arrive, Cao's army will be in a dilemma.
Seeing that Lu Yan was silent, Cao Cao thought that even Lu Yan could do nothing for the time being.
In order not to embarrass Lu Yan, Cao Cao immediately turned to Guo Jia and asked, "Feng Xiao, I remember that when Shouchun was captured, Mr. Lu and Yingwei Liying opened the city gate. Can we repeat the old trick?"
Guo Jia thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not..."
Seeing Lao Cao's puzzled face, Guo Jia explained: "At the beginning, Changsheng was able to complete the strategy of coordinating internally and externally, because Yuan Shu's general, Lei Bo, had long been dissatisfied with Yuan Shu. After receiving Changsheng's order, the shadow guard successfully instigated rebellion. Lei Bo opened the city gate, not by the Shadow Guard himself.
Although now Yuan Shao's subordinates are some people who try to catch fame and fame, it is undeniable that these people are all loyal to Yuan Shao. "So, this path doesn't work either.
Cao Cao nodded slightly, and said, "That's it...we can only take a step forward now."
Seeing Cao Cao's frowning look, Xia Houyuan strode forward, clasped his fists and said, "Brother, give me 5 horses, and I will attack Yecheng tomorrow and capture and kill Yuan Shao!"
Hearing the words, Yang Xiu couldn't help but babbled, thinking: "Is it possible that these warriors have stuffed muscles in their brains? Forced siege of the city consumes a lot of energy, so it's not the best choice...
Cao Cao thought, "No matter what, we still have to try the city defense.
So he opened his mouth and said to Xia Houyuan: "Since that's the case, you will attack from the south gate tomorrow, and try how the city's defenses are." Xia Houyuan didn't expect that Lao Cao would really agree, and after being slightly taken aback, he clasped his fists and responded, "Here! "
After Xia Houyuan retreated to his position, Cao Cao looked at the others and shouted: "Le Jin, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan!" "Wei Jiang is here!"
"Let the three of you attack from the other three gates at the same time! Remember, we are just testing, don't put all your eggs in one basket."
"The commander-in-chief!"
Yecheng.
It has been almost a month since Cao Jun besieged Yecheng, and the siege of the city has been continuous.
During the month,
Lao Cao piled up earth mountains, dug tunnels, and lost nearly half of his trebuchets, but he was still unable to break through Yecheng.Yuan Jun's tenacity is beyond the imagination of everyone in Cao Ying.
Today, just when Cao Cao was about to continue to grind the city, a spies came to report that Jiang Qi, the general who reported the battle in Wei County before, was now leading [-] soldiers and horses towards Yecheng. , should have stepped into Ye County at this moment.
Cao Cao hurriedly ordered Cao Chun and Cao Xiu to lead 1 tiger and leopard riders to delay, and ordered Cao Ren to lead [-] people to stop Jiang Qi.
At the same time, Cao Cao ordered people to dig ditches around Yecheng day and night, diverting water to besiege Yecheng, so that the defenders in the city could not leave the city, and the reinforcements from outside could not enter the city.
Lao Cao seemed to want to trap Yuan Shao until he ran out of ammunition and food and gave up resistance.
On the second day of excavation, Cao Chun was only ten miles away from Jiang Qi's troops.
After the scouts reported Jiang Qi's exact location, Cao Xiu suddenly had an idea: "General, we might as well pretend to be Yuan Jun's rout and approach Jiang Qi's army.
If we take Yuan Jun to fight General Pingbei (Cao Ren) and catch them by surprise from behind, maybe we can throw them into chaos and defeat Yuan Jun in one fell swoop!"
Cao Chun felt that Cao Xiu's idea was good, so he said: "Wen Lie, your plan is good, then let's go back and discuss with General Pingbei, he should have many captured Yuan Jun's armor and flags."
Cao Ren was leading the army in a hurry, when a scout came to report that Cao Chun and Cao Xiu had returned.
While Cao Ren was surprised, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu had already arrived hand in hand.
"Brother!" Cao Chun greeted from afar.
When he got there, Cao Xiu also clasped his fists and said, "I met General Pingbei!"
Cao Ren patted Cao Chun's arm first, then helped Cao Xiu up and said, "Why did you two come back so soon? Did something happen?"
"It's not that there's anything, but that Wen Lie thought of a plan." Cao Chun said here, and then expressed Cao Xiu's thoughts.
Cao Ren turned his head to look at Cao Xiu, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You are worthy of being called by the elder brother as the younger generation of Cao's Qianliju. It's a good habit to use your brain more!"
Although Cao Xiu got the compliment, he was very happy in his heart, but he still acted very humble, "Thank you uncle for the compliment!"
"There happen to be quite a few Yuan Shao Banner Armors in our army, you just go and get them."
"Here!" Cao Chun clasped his fists in his promise, and asked again: "Brother, do you think we can break through Yecheng this time?"
Cao Ren seemed to have a plan in mind and replied: "Don't worry, there has never been a hurdle that the eldest brother and the mister have to overcome!"
Seeing Cao Ren's confidence, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu felt at ease,
"Well, let's get ready first.
"Go.."
Chapter 279 The Enemy Meets Extremely Jealous
The tiger and leopard riders found Yuan Jun's armor from Cao Ren's army and put them on, and deliberately made themselves embarrassed, pretending to be Yuan Jun's rout.
Cao Chun and Cao Xiu were afraid that they would be recognized, so they ruthlessly stabbed themselves twice, using blood and dust to smear their faces in such a mess that even their own mother could not recognize them.
After re-starting, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu's team soon encountered Jiang Qi's troops who came to rescue Yecheng.
Jiang Qi saw a broken cavalry soldier running towards him in front of him, so he ordered the soldiers to shout loudly: "Stop advancing! Who are you subordinates?"
Cao Chun rolled his eyes and replied loudly: "We are under the governor of Bingzhou, and we were ordered to rescue Yecheng. However, Cao's army is too powerful, and the governor has already been defeated. We can only flee in all directions."
Jiang Qi was surprised when he heard the words, "General Gao arrived in Yecheng so soon? And he was defeated?"
Although Jiang Qi had some doubts, he finally chose to believe in Cao Chun.
However, he looks at the eyes of tigers and leopards riding war horses from the corner of his eye from time to time, which shows that he actually has other thoughts in his heart.
Seeing that Jiang Qi didn't speak, Cao Chun felt that he might be suspicious of himself, so he immediately asked, "Did the general go to rescue Yecheng? If that's the case, I'd better persuade the general not to go, then Cao Jun is really too much." It's better!'
When Cao Chun spoke, his eyes dodged a little, but in Jiang Qi's view, his expression happened to be an expression of guilty conscience.Hey! You think I'm a coward like you?
What a mob, Jiang Qi felt a little contemptuous.
However, the horses of this group of people are really good. Judging from Jiang Qi's vicious eyes, even if the horses of these people can't reach the level of top horses, they are at least high-quality horses.It also just confirmed Jiang Qi's conjecture in his heart, "It's not the most elite subordinate of the senior cadre, it should be a team of partial generals."
Jiang Qi thought about it, and then said with a smile: "Although Cao's army is numerous, our army also has a lot of reinforcements. Although General Gao was defeated for a while, we still have the eldest son, the second son, and the Wuhuan cavalry.
You don't have to be too afraid, and go to Yecheng with me, and when Cao Cao is repelled, the credit will naturally be indispensable to you!" Jiang Qi's words meant to absorb 5000 of them.
When Yuan Shao was defeated before, many teams also absorbed a lot of defeated troops who fled back, which is considered normal behavior.
Even if these people are useless, wouldn't it be a pleasure to just find an excuse to snatch their horses for their own use? And with the addition of these 5000 people, Jiang Qi's team will number [-]. Lu Yan's battered team can now become more solid again.
It's just that Jiang Qi never dreamed that these 5000 people were actually pretended by Cao Jun
Jiang Qi hastily absorbed them into his team, it was like lighting a lantern in the latrine, looking for shit!
After Cao Chun and Cao Xiu heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the surprise in the other's eyes that they tried their best to conceal. They really didn't expect that Jiang Qi would be so easily fooled.
Jiang Qi easily fell for the trick, mainly because of his own greed.
When you are thinking about other people's horses, you don't know that they are already thinking about your head!
"Thank you, General!" After getting Jiang Qi's consent, Cao Chun quickly clasped his fists in salute.
Then, he and Cao Xiu led their own "remnant soldiers and defeated generals", bypassed the vanguard of the army, and walked into the rear of Jiang Qi's army from the side and rear.
Jiang Qi watched Cao Chun and Cao Xiu walking towards the rear army, feeling contempt once again in his heart, "I don't know how the governor of Bingzhou trains troops, these people are too cowardly...
After absorbing the [-] defeated troops, Jiang Qi was in a good mood, so he urged the soldiers to head towards Ye City again.
Not long after walking, a scout suddenly came to report from the front, saying: "Report! The rear general! A group of Cao soldiers and horses appeared ten miles ahead!" Jiang Qi reined in the horse, raised his hand to stop the army from moving forward, and asked: "Can you see Who is Qing? How many people are there?"
"The banner is General Pingbei, and there are only about 1 people in total."
"General Pingbei, Cao Ren?!" Jiang Qi immediately thought of this guy who made him extremely 'disgusted'.
When he was in Yanjin, it was Cao Ren who came to attack him in the middle of the night.
Although Jiang Qi didn't let Cao Ren take advantage at that time, he almost caught Cao Ren,
But in the end, it was Cao Ren who created the opportunity for Gan Ning, causing Jiang Qi's camp and [-] to [-] stones of grain and grass at the Yanjin Ferry to be burned.
Now, Qiu's family is naturally extremely jealous when they meet, Jiang Qidang even pulled out his sword, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me to kill Cao Ren!"
Jiang Qi waved his long sword and drove his horse forward. Following his order, the army began to speed up the march.
Cao Chun and Cao Xiu didn't know the grievances between Jiang Qi and Cao Ren, they just thought that Jiang Qi wanted to fight Cao Ren quickly so that they could go to Yecheng to support Yuan Shao.
After following Jiang Qi's army for less than ten miles, Cao Ren's team in front has experienced it vividly!
Seeing that Cao Ren had only about [-] soldiers and horses, and all of them were infantry, Jiang Qi couldn't help being overjoyed and said, "Including the newly surrendered [-] cavalry, I now have a total of [-] cavalry! Cao Ren is all infantry, really. God help me too!"
Jiang Qi no longer hesitated, and ordered again: "Pass my military order, the whole army will attack!!!"
"Army attack!!"
The order for Jiang Qi to go out was issued.
But at this moment, Cao Chun, who was hiding in the rear army, nodded towards Cao Xiu, and then they both jumped up at the same time, shouting: "Brothers, kill me!"
Five thousand tigers and leopards suddenly stabbed the surrounding soldiers of Yuan Jun with their guns, and the soldiers of Yuan Jun were caught off guard and fell down a large area! "Kill!!!"
"Oh!"
"Despicable! Shameless!"
Jiang Qi's front army had already contacted Cao Jun's army at this time, but he suddenly heard a burst of shouts, screams and curses from behind.
"What's going on?" Jiang Qi Jiang Qi was shocked, turned around and saw his rear army in a mess!
"It's not good! General!" A soldier from the rear army came to report: "It's not good, general, that newly recruited defeated army suddenly launched an attack on us!"
"What did you say?!!" Jiang Qi stared angrily when he heard the words, and soon, he realized that he had made a mistake, "Damn it! I got caught!'
Jiang Qi already knew that he had been tricked by Cao Jun, and when he was about to order to retreat, unexpectedly, the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Chun and Cao Xiu had already killed the rear army and charged into the middle army!!
Jiang Qi was not known for his bravery. He was caught off guard by the sudden cavalry, and was stabbed in the chest by Cao Chun, knocking him off his horse.
When Jiang Qi fell off the horse, Cao Chun's soldiers rushed forward and chopped off Jiang Qi's head.
The soldiers sent Jiang Qi's head to Cao Chun. Cao Chun picked up Jiang Qi's head with a spear and shouted: "Jiang Qi is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed! Anyone who dares to stand up to the corner and resist will be killed!"
The enemy's main general was beheaded, and the morale of Cao's army was greatly boosted.
"The descendants do not kill!"
"The descendants do not kill!"
"The general is dead!"
"The general died in battle!!!"
When Jiang Qi died, Yuan Jun was thrown into chaos.
Cao Ren took the opportunity to press forward with the whole army, forming a pincer attack with Cao Xiu and Cao Chun's cavalry, and soon completely defeated the remaining Yuan army soldiers.
2 Chapter Eighty Concerns After Breaking the City
After Jiang Qi's death, the remaining soldiers of Yuan Jun, led by the rest of the generals, could barely resist Cao Jun's attack.
But in the face of Cao Jun's front and back attacks, coupled with the low morale of the main general who died in the battle, the situation is over after all.
A soldier who was on the fringe dropped his weapon and ran away while Cao Jun and his general were not paying attention.
When someone took the lead, it was like knocking down the dominoes, and then more and more people began to escape from this position.
The main general died in battle, and now some soldiers started to flee. Under the double influence, the other soldiers could no longer hold on, and simply started to run for their lives in all directions.
However, compared to those who fled, many people chose to lay down their weapons and surrender to Cao Jun.
And these soldiers of Yuan Jun who chose to surrender, not only had no burden in their hearts, but also felt a sense of relief.
Without it, Cao Ying treats prisoners preferentially!
Before the war started, the shadow guards started to move around.
They not only spied on intelligence, but also secretly publicized Cao Jun's positive policies everywhere.
Preferential treatment of prisoners is one of them. It is said that prisoners who are willing to surrender to Cao Jun will not only have food, drink and medical treatment, but also be able to share a few acres of fertile land, exempt from taxes for several years, and even receive military pay.That's the real thing, a heavy yellow copper coin!
These soldiers of the Yuan army are satisfied with their daily meals, and it is impossible to imagine that the army can still send money.
Now that they have the opportunity to join Cao Jun to "enjoy" the preferential treatment, they naturally have a glimmer of expectation in their hearts.
As Yuan Jun's soldiers fled and surrendered, the battle soon came to an end.
Cao Jun beheaded Yuan Jun's general Jiang Qi, killed [-] enemies, and captured more than [-] enemies, winning a complete victory.
