A personal guard stepped forward to take the secret report from the messenger and handed it to Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shangqiang calmed down and browsed through it in a hurry.
"Damn Cao thief!" Yuan Shang tore the letter paper into pieces, as if tore Cao Cao into pieces.
Seeing that Yuan Tan was about to capture Qinghe, Cao Cao led an army of [-], and with Zhao Yun and Lu Lingqi as the vanguard, he invaded Jizhou.
Guo Tu, who was always by Yuan Shang's side, looked solemn.
Yuan Shang was restless and undecided, so he could only turn his head to look at his mastermind, and asked, "Mr. Wen Ze, what should we do?"
After Guo Tu heard that Cao Jun sent troops, he had already started to think about countermeasures.
When Yuan Shang asked, he already had a rough plan in mind.
Guo Tu suppressed the ups and downs in his heart, pretending to be calm and said to Yuan Tan: "Master, in fact, we don't need to panic."
Seeing Guo Tu's calm and composed appearance, Yuan Tan felt at ease. He cupped his hands and said to Guo Tu: "I also ask Mr. Wen Ze for advice!"
Guo Tu even forced a smile, and said: "Cao Cao just saw the lord and Yuan Tan fighting each other, so he decided to go to Jizhou on the spur of the moment. In a hurry, he must have not prepared much food and supplies at all."
Yuan Shang heard that Guo Tu's analysis made sense, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Yuan Shang was relaxed, Guo Tu continued to analyze: "Even if Cao Cao can quickly march under Yecheng, but Yecheng is guarded by Shenzhengnan and Fengyuantu, Cao Cao wants to capture Yecheng in a short time. Not realistic."
"What if Cao Cao uses the thunder to destroy the city wall again?"
"What thunder..." Guo Tu shook his head and said with a sneer, "It's just a trick played by Lu Yan."
"Oh? Could it be that Mr. Wen Ze already knew something secret?"
"My subordinates secretly sent a lot of spies to Chenliu to inquire about the news... Although I don't know what exactly destroyed the city wall, I can already confirm that it is a new type of weapon.
And it's a weapon that's powerful enough only at close range.That is, it must be buried under the city wall in order to completely destroy the city wall as before. "
Seeing that Yuan Shang was still a little dazed, Guo Tu continued: "When Lu Yan was able to destroy the city wall, he must have used the cover of night to bury this weapon under the city wall.
Because no one in this world except him knows the characteristics of this weapon, so no one can discover his movements at all.
But now that we have preparedness, as long as there are soldiers patrolling the city walls all the time and keeping enough vigilance, it will be almost impossible for Cao Jun to bury new weapons under the city walls. "
Yuan Shang praised: "Mr. is thoughtful, I admire you!"
Guo Tu cupped his hands and said modestly: "Don't dare to be the lord to praise!" Although he was humble on the surface, Guo Tu was extremely proud in his heart.
"So, what Mr. Wen Ze means now is..."
"Strike the county seat! Take down Yuan Tan in one go, and we will never have any future troubles!" Guo Tu stared into Yuan Shang's eyes and replied decisively.
When Yuan Shang heard the words, he no longer hesitated, nodded immediately and said: "Okay! Just follow what Mr. said!"
Pulling out his sword, Yuan Shang immediately ordered: "All officers and men obey the order! Take down Qinghe City with one go!"
"Whoever kills Yuan Tan will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold and made a Marquis!"
"Ho Ho! Kill!"
"Kill! Kill Yuan Tan!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Chapter 3 Bloody Battle in Qinghe City
Following Yuan Shang's order, after the trumpets sounded, the war drums began to sound.
Numerous soldiers with large shields walked in the forefront, behind them were archers with bows and arrows, and finally, infantry with swords and ladders on their shoulders, preparing to climb the city.
Yuan Shang led the reserve team and the supervising team and rode behind the battle. The cold wind blew his hair, but his heart was burning like fire at this moment!
"If you get rid of Yuan Tan today, no one in Hebei will compete with me again... After I recover my strength, I will compete with Cao Cao. This world will eventually belong to us young people!"
At the same time, Yuan Shang's generals Su You, Ma Yan, and Zhang Wei attacked the city from the other three sides.
Attacking from all sides, Yuan Shang vowed to complete the one-hit kill against Yuan Tan!
"Boom boom boom!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
When the drums of war sound, murderous intent begins!
The siege of Yuan Shang's army was like shaking the ground, it was very majestic and shocking!
The soldiers on Qinghe City were captured by the momentum of Yuan Shang's army, and they couldn't help but all changed their faces, so that the fear of being unable to resist rose in their hearts.
But compared to the fear of the soldiers,
Yuan Tan, Xin Ping, and Xin Pi on the city wall can still be at ease, all because they still have a hole card that Yuan Shang doesn't know!
"The momentum is not bad." Seeing Yuan Shang's army getting closer and closer, Yuan Tan strengthened his composure and commented.
Simpi looked into the distance, and said, "My lord, we have to be steady... Yuan Shang's reserve team has not been completely suppressed, we have to wait for him to completely let go before Cao Jun can raid from behind and kill them all." Big defeat!"
Xin Ping and Yuan Tan Qiqi nodded in agreement. So far, the two of them have not seen that Xin Pi has betrayed.It has to be said that Simpi's methods and acting skills are very online.
As Yuan Shang's siege army continued to advance, the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, two hundred steps, 180 steps, 150 steps...
When Yuan Shang's army came 120 steps outside the city wall, Yuan Tan finally waved his right hand and ordered, "Fire the arrow."
"Fire arrows!"
Yuan Shang's order was conveyed,
Immediately, countless archers loosened their bowstrings,
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The sound of arrows raining through the air bursts, and the sky seemed to be dark for a moment, and then countless arrows fell from the sky.
"Puchi, puchi."
"Ah, ah, ah."
Arrows rained down from the sky, and the front row protected by large shields was fine, but the archers and siege soldiers behind Yuan Jun were hit by arrows one after another, and were killed on the spot, or fell to the ground screaming again and again.
The range of the archers on the city wall was farther than that on the ground. Yuan Shang's archers had to go forward another twenty steps if they wanted to fight back.
For just these twenty steps, Yuan Shangjun paid a great price.
Finally within a hundred steps, the general in charge of the siege immediately shouted: "Archers shoot arrows, cover the siege!"
"Shh!"
Uniform arrows flew out from Yuan Shangjun's formation, and the soldiers on the city wall began to look for places to hide.
The personal guards carried large shields as tall as a person, and completely covered Yuan Tan, Xin Pi, and Xin Ping.
Hearing the sound of the arrow being bounced off the iron shield, Yuan Tan suppressed his trembling voice and asked, "Mr. George, can't you dispatch the cavalry?"
"My lord, wait a little longer!"
"Okay!" Yuan Tan gritted his teeth and said.
Yuan Shang's army on all sides had already reached about eighty paces, and the two sides had now started shooting each other, but generally speaking, the archers on the city wall had a certain advantage.
Just as the two sides were shooting each other, Yuan Shang's siege team finally approached the city wall under the cover of his own archers.
Since Qinghe City was not protected by a moat, the pawns carrying the ladders could easily reach under the city wall.
"Siege!"
"Whoever kills Yuan Tan will be rewarded with five thousand pieces of gold and sealed as Marquis of Thousand Households (thousands of households for the big ones, and five hundred households for the small ones)!"
With Yuan Shang's increase, the siege posture of Yuan Shang's soldiers has once again increased by a small amount.
"Tsk tsk... My head price has increased again!" Yuan Tan smiled wryly.
"My lord, don't worry, the official siege battle has just begun, and our advantages have not yet been revealed." Simpi has been comforting Yuan Tan, because only when the two sides enter into hand-to-hand combat, the consumption of each other will reach the maximum.
When the ladder reached the city wall, countless siege soldiers climbed up the ladder with hands and feet.
At the same time, the rolling logs and stones on the city wall began to be thrown; then hot boiling water and even boiling oil were also poured on the siege army under the city wall.
The soldiers who were hit by the rolling logs and stones all screamed and fell from the siege ladder to the ground.
The shorter ones are okay, and they can even jump away and escape by themselves, while the ones that climb too fast and too high can only fall to the ground and die with regret.
It was even more miserable to be splashed with boiling water and oil on the soldiers. They were burned to pieces on the spot, rolling and screaming on the ground.
Although rolling wood, stones and boiling oil are not as lethal as bows and arrows, the consequences caused by these things are extremely bloody, and those who are scalded by boiling oil and boiling water are even more miserable.
This is a great blow to the morale of the attacking side, and it can also make the soldiers on the attacking side fearful, thereby reducing the pressure on the defenders.
Yuan Shang saw that the morale of his soldiers was frustrated, and he saw that the aggressive first attack had not even climbed the city wall, and he was about to be repelled. How could he swallow this breath?
"Reserve team, supervising team, let me go!"
"Continue to attack the city!"
"Anyone who dares to retreat without authorization will be killed without mercy!"
Yuan Shang's supervisory team and reserve team finally arrived, and after beheading more than a dozen fleeing soldiers, the attacking soldiers stabilized again.
Anyway, the left and right are all dead, so it's better to climb the city wall and fight the enemy. Maybe if you are lucky, you can survive, or even confine your wife and son?
"kill!"
The morale of Yuan Shang's army was revived, and the soldiers, whether they were really fearless or stubborn, started to climb the siege ladder again, and swarmed up the city wall.
Yuan Tan had already seen Yuan Shang's soldiers climbing up the female wall through the gap in the shield. He looked at Simpi beside him and said, "Mr. George... Yuan Shang's reserve team has already entered!"
Naturally, Simpi didn't dare to procrastinate too clearly, he nodded and said: "Master Huiyan, this is a good time to launch a surprise attack!"
"Hahaha!" Yuan Tan burst out laughing, "This general has been waiting for this moment for a long time!"
Yuan Tan parted from the guards in front of him, pulled out his sword and shouted loudly: "Pass me to the general, blow the horn to attack!"
"Woooooo!!!"
The desolate sound of the horn seemed abrupt and distant amidst the tragic fighting.
After Yuan Shang and Guo Tu suddenly heard the sound of the horn from the city, an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in their hearts, "Not good! Yuan Tan still has a backup!!!"
"kill!!!"
Just when Yuan Shang and Guo Tu were looking at each other, there was a rumbling sound of thunder in the distance!
"It's cavalry!!"
"Yuan Tan actually hides a large number of cavalry!"
"Not good! My lord, quickly order the army to retreat quickly!"
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Yuan Shang shouted to retreat, regardless of whether the soldiers who attacked the city would retreat for a while, anyway, he led the guards and the supervising team to retreat first.
Zhang Liao and Wei Yan led [-] cavalry each, regardless of Yuan Shang, who ran faster than a rabbit, first broke up Yuan Shang's attacking army at the west gate, then attacked the north and south gates in two directions, and finally finished at the east gate. join forces.
Yuan Shang's siege army was attacked by cavalry from behind, and it was powerless to stop it.
Cao Jun's cavalry was as powerful as a broken bamboo. Wherever they went, Yuan Shang's army fled to death, and the siege of the city collapsed in an instant.
Chapter 3 Maocheng Ambush!
Cao Cao personally led an army of [-], marched out from the white horse, and attacked Jizhou.
Cao Jun dispatched two vanguards this time.
On one side was the Battalion of Eight Thousand Dragon Riders led by Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan; on the other side was the Battalion of Ten Thousand Wolf Riders led by Lu Lingqi, Hao Zhao, and Gan Ning.
The Dragon Riding Battalion went all the way north, and the front of the soldiers pointed directly at Wei County.After they wiped out the enemies in the eastern part of Wei County, they began to prepare to intercept Yuan Shang's army returning from Qinghe.
The wolf cavalry battalion went straight up from the west road, preparing to capture Maocheng guarded by Yin Kai and cut off the food road leading to Shangdang.
After taking Maocheng, they will also defend the city, preparing to intercept the reinforcements from Bingzhou.
Youzhou is still some distance away from Wei Commandery, and it is hard to say whether Yuan Xi will send troops to help Yuan Shang, so Cao Cao, the reinforcement of Youzhou, will not consider it for the time being.
Cao Cao, Lu Yan and others, led a main force of [-], marched lightly to capture Yecheng.
With the benefit of Baigou to transport grain, and the army of Cao Ren and Zhang Yan to protect the grain roads, in fact, the pressure of Cao Jun's supplies is not as great as Yuan Tan imagined.
