Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World
Chapter 99: Pacification of Youzhou
Suo Chao's army, like a gust of wind, conquered Shanggu County with lightning speed, completely breaching the gates of Youzhou. The 20,000 Han soldiers, high in morale, pursued the enemy, while Zheng Hewen remained in Shanggu County, waiting for Huangfu Song to take over the city.
"Soldiers! We must travel light and make a long-distance assault!" Suo Chao shouted from a high point, his voice as resounding as a bell. His eyes were firm, filled with confidence and determination.
"Let's make a concerted effort to capture Yuyang County and completely cut off the Xianbei army's retreat!" The soldiers shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the sky, as if to shatter it.
"Mr. Zheng, you will stay in Shangjun for the time being. I will lead 10,000 light cavalry to quickly capture Yuyang County." Suo Chao turned to look at Zheng Hewen, a hint of determination in his eyes. His tone was full of trust and admiration.
"I obey your command!" Zheng Hewen bowed and accepted the order, his eyes full of trust and admiration.
At this moment, the soldiers' faces were filled with determination and courage. They knew that only by moving forward courageously could they achieve victory. Suo Chao's heart was also filled with anticipation and pressure. It would be difficult to quickly capture the entire Yuyang County. But he was confident that his army would be able to overcome all difficulties.
Sleeping in the open air, galloping their horses, the Han light cavalry began their long-distance assault. Traveling lightly, with simple equipment and rations, they were filled with unwavering determination. They traversed mountains and forests, trekked across rivers, all in a desperate attempt to reach Yuyang County as quickly as possible.
Suo Chao led 10,000 light cavalrymen, moving like lightning behind enemy lines. They avoided the main Xianbei force and sought the enemy's weak points. In their wake, they left behind a trail of deep hoof prints, a testament to their resolve and bravery.
The walls of Yuyang County gradually came into view. There weren't many troops in the county, many of whom had been dispatched to the Youzhou front. Suo Chao felt a strong urge in his heart, and he retrieved his ladders and battering rams from his system.
Suo Chao raised the Nine-Glory Thunder Spear in his hand and shouted loudly:
"Soldiers! Attack the city with all your might! Kill!"
Ten thousand light cavalry formed up at the gates of Yuyang Commandery, while 5000 Han troops, transformed from cavalry into spearmen and sword and shield soldiers, escorted ladders and battering rams as they charged towards the gates. Their cries of war resounded through the air, terrifying the enemy.
"Kill! Kill!"
With the help of Suo Chao, the county was quickly captured. Suo Chao led this brave and fearless army, galloping all the way, advancing relentlessly towards the various county towns in Yuyang County.
Every county town was unable to withstand Suo Chao's fierce offensive and fell one after another. Then, the 15,000 elite troops responsible for taking over the city arrived as scheduled, led by Zheng Hewen himself, which greatly boosted Suo Chao's confidence.
"Mr. Zheng, how is the defense of Shanggu County?" Suo Chao asked with concern.
"General, General Huangfu has sent people to take over." Zheng Hewen said respectfully.
"That's good!" Suo Chao said with relief.
Without the worry of defending the city, Suo Chao could devote himself fully to the battle of siege and conquest. He led his troops with unstoppable force, continuously conquering new cities and expanding his victory. In a series of thrilling battles, Suo Chao's troops demonstrated their tenacious fighting spirit and outstanding combat effectiveness, successfully occupying most of Yuyang.
However, the enemy would not give up easily. Upon learning of the situation in Youzhou, Mijia and Suli marched urgently. They dispatched 80,000 reinforcements to reinforce Yuyang County. Facing such a massive enemy force, Suo Chao showed no fear. He calmly analyzed the situation, formulated a sophisticated strategic plan, and personally commanded the battle.
In this life-or-death battle, Suo Chao once again demonstrated his formidable strength, unleashing his divine bow and killing the Xianbei generals Mijia and Suli with two stunning arrows.
"Micah!"
"Su Lizu!"
The morale of the Xianbei reinforcements collapsed, and Suo Chao's army, with its relentless offensive, broke through the enemy's defenses one by one. In the end, Mijia and Suli's 80,000 reinforcements were completely defeated by Suo Chao's army and fled in panic.
"Report!"
"General Chui, General Tuoba Tao's life or death is unknown, and Shanggu County has been lost!"
"Suo Chao's army is attacking Yuyang County urgently, and the entire area is in danger of falling!" A soldier came running to report.
"Report!"
"Generals Miga and Suli were killed in the battle, and our 8 reinforcements were defeated by Suo Chao." Another soldier said worriedly.
As if it weren't bad enough, Murong Chui and Yuwen Tai were shocked when they heard the news. They realized that the Xianbei army was about to be surrounded.
Murong Chui frowned, bit his lip, and thought to himself:
"Something has happened in Yuyang County! Due to Tuoba Tao's defeat, Shanggu County has fallen, and the army faces the fate of being surrounded and annihilated."
"The battle situation is extremely urgent! Immediately notify General Yu and General Yuwen, and the army will immediately break out in the direction of Yuyang County."
"I will obey your orders!"
......
When Yuwen Tai heard the news that Suo Chao had occupied Shanggu County and had launched a lightning raid on most of Yuyang, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying:
"Mikazuli deserved to die! An army of 80,000 was destroyed by them so quickly!"
"Now is not the time to complain. We must organize a breakout immediately. It will be too late if we delay any longer."
"The entire army prepares to retreat!"
Yuwen Tai and Murong Chui understood each other tacitly and both issued orders to retreat. They retreated towards Yuyang County overnight.
During the withdrawal, the two Xianbei armies reunited. Murong Chui and Yuwen Tai were filled with grief. They knew the war situation had become extremely serious. If they did not take effective measures in time, their armies would face catastrophic destruction.
Murong Chui sat on his horse, his brow furrowed as he pondered a countermeasure. Yuwen Tai, on the other hand, kept urging his soldiers to march faster while keeping a close eye on the surrounding movements.
"Warriors, maintain formation and retreat at full speed!"
After Gongsun Zan, Taishi Ci and Huangfu Song learned about the battle situation in Shanggu County, they immediately understood the Xianbei army's intention to retreat.
Gongsun Zan frowned, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He turned to look at Taishi Ci and Huangfu Song and said:
"The Xianbei army suddenly retreated. Could this be a trick?"
Taishi Ci shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"Our army has won a great victory in Shanggu Commandery, and the General Zhengbei has launched a surprise attack on Yuyang. The Xianbei army is in danger of being ambushed from all sides, so a retreat is reasonable at this time."
Huangfu Song nodded and said in agreement:
"Ziyi is absolutely right. The Xianbei army is retreating now to preserve their strength. We should seize this opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop!"
As he spoke, Huangfu Song's face showed excitement. He raised the spear in his hand and shouted loudly:
"Pursue with the whole army!"
Following Huangfu Song's command, the Han soldiers rushed towards the Xianbei army like a tide, each of them fighting bravely and shouting for help, their cries of killing resounding through the sky.
Gongsun Zan and Taishi Ci also led their respective troops and followed closely behind Huangfu Song. Their faces were filled with the joy of victory, as if they had already witnessed the scene of the Xianbei army being annihilated.
Murong Chui's retreat was orderly, and he set up ambushes and decoys along the way, so the Han army did not dare to pursue him with all their strength.
"Murong Chui is very cunning. We have been ambushed by his troops several times." Taishi Ci said in a deep voice.
Behind Murong Chui lay a shattered battlefield. Smoke filled the air, corpses littered the ground, revealing the cruelty and brutality of war. Ahead, the outline of Yuyang County gradually became clear. They knew that there would be a decisive battle, a battle of life and death.
The Han troops from all directions pursued them relentlessly and gradually approached the armies of Murong Chui and Yuwen Tai. Murong Chui and Yuwen Tai knew that the situation was critical, so they desperately urged their soldiers to speed up.
"Soldiers, full march!"
As night fell, both armies took a break. Murong Chui and Yuwen Tai discussed countermeasures and decided to use the cover of darkness to launch a surprise attack.
Late at night, Murong Chui led a group of elite soldiers to quietly approach the Han army camp. They carefully sneaked in, trying to create chaos. However, the enemy was well prepared and responded quickly.
A fierce melee broke out, with flames shooting up into the sky. Murong Chui fought bravely, but the enemy was outnumbered and they were in trouble.
At this critical moment, Yuwen Tai arrived with his troops to support them. Together, the two sides fought their way out of the encirclement. They continued to flee north, hoping to escape their pursuers.
The Xianbei troops in Guangyang Commandery received the order to retreat, and Yu Lidi immediately ordered the army to retreat towards Yuyang Commandery. Seeing this, Yan Zhong also began to pursue the Xianbei troops.
Just when Suo Chao was preparing to encircle and annihilate Murong Chui's army, battle reports arrived from Mo'nan County.
"Report--" A quick and sharp voice broke the tense atmosphere in the tent.
"General, the Xianbei and Xiongnu coalition forces of 300,000 are urgently attacking the north!" The spy presented the latest intelligence with an anxious look on his face.
Suo Chao's face instantly became solemn. He knew very well the importance of the North. If the North fell, the entire war situation would become passive.
"Generals Ran Min, Yan Yan, and Zhao Yun are currently engaged in a bloody battle against the enemy coalition. The situation is extremely critical!"
Suo Chao clenched his fists tightly and prayed silently in his heart:
“Hopefully they can hold on!”
He knew that he had a heavy responsibility, but at this moment, he had to make a wise decision.
Suo Chao looked at Zheng Hewen with a determined gaze and said:
"Mr. Zheng, I leave the army to you. You must fully cooperate with General Huangfu to pacify Youzhou!"
Zheng Hewen nodded seriously and replied:
"I obey your orders! I will definitely live up to your trust!"
Suo Chao took a deep breath, turned around and left, using his supernatural powers to move immediately towards Monan County. Thus, Murong Chui and Yuwen Tai also had a chance to catch their breath. The three Xianbei armies joined forces and continued to break out to the north.
At the same time, Murong Chui, Yuwen Tai, and Yu Lidi gradually fell into trouble under the pursuit of the armies of Huangfu Song, Yan Zhong, Gongsun Zan, and Lu Bu. They were forced to withdraw from Youzhou and retreat to the Xianbei base camp in Liaodong.
"Yuyang County is restored!"
"Liaoxi County is liberated!"
"Liaodong County is restored!"
"Xuantu County is liberated!"
"Lelang County is restored!"
After Youzhou was pacified, Huangfu Song began to deploy his troops in preparation for returning to the imperial capital. He ordered Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan to garrison Youzhou and station heavy troops on the border to strengthen the defenses of Youzhou.
Liu Bei's four brothers performed well and were entrusted with important tasks. Wei Qing and Guan Yu were stationed in Xuantu and Lelang Commanderies respectively. However, this war had just begun...
