Chapter 498: Zhao Yun's Surprise Attack
Zhao Yun had just broken through Chengyang County.
Zhao Yun came to Yecheng according to Liu Yu's order and asked Huang Zhong to give him the troops to rescue Guan Yu.
As soon as he heard that Guan Yu, who was attacking Xuzhou, was in trouble, Huang Zhong of course did not delay, and quickly transferred 30,000 soldiers and horses to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun originally wanted to rescue Guan Yu as soon as possible, but Tian Feng stopped him, and he gave Zhao Yun a suggestion, that is, not to rescue Dongguan first, directly attack Chengyang County, and then attack Cao's army in Xuzhou from the flank.
Tian Feng felt that with the ability of Guan Yu, Guo Tu and others, it would be no problem to hold this Dongguan City for a while, Zhao Yun did not have to rush to the rescue, or took advantage of the fact that Xuzhou Cao Jun was attracted by Guan Yu and suddenly attacked Chengyang County, which could expand the sphere of influence, compress the opponent's activity area, and at the same time achieve the purpose of rescuing Guan Yu.
After listening to Tian Feng's suggestion, Zhao Yun felt that this strategy was very good.
So Zhao Yun crossed the Yellow River with 30,000 soldiers and horses, and in order to prevent the Cao army in Xuzhou from finding out about his arrival, Zhao Yun divided the 30,000 soldiers and horses into dozens of parts and divided them into three days to enter the North Sea.
After a short rest in Beihai, Zhao Yun sent multiple spies to find out the news, and the final result made Zhao Yun feel reassured. Cao Jun in Xuzhou did not notice Zhao Yun's arrival, and Liu Bei was still fighting Guan Yu. And Zhao Yun's target Chengyang County has not changed much, it still maintains its previous state, and there is no sign of strengthening the defense. When Guan Yu invaded, the Taishou and the guard general of Chengyang County sent heavy troops to guard the border, and then after Guan Yu attacked Dongguan County, he felt that Chengyang County was not in danger and Liu Bei's order to transfer troops, so he deployed his troops and horses to Liu Bei's side.
The opportunity could not be missed, Zhao Yun quickly seized this opportunity. The 30,000-strong army directly entered Chengyang County.
The Cao army of Chengyang County was stunned by Zhao Yun's sudden attack, when did Beihai City have so many troops.
Zhao Yun seized the loophole in the border defense of Chengyang County, continued to attack and kill, and inexorably entered the hinterland of Chengyang County.
Beihai Taishou Cao Hong and garrison general Hao Wen were terrified, this army should be Liu Yu's reinforcements to rescue Dongguan County, but they attacked Chengyang County first. In the end, they knew that the main commander of this army was the world-famous Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong.
They reacted immediately, transferring all the troops that could be used by Chengyang County to Chengyang City, the place of governance, and preparing to block Zhao Yun's army.
But their wishful thinking was learned by Zhao Yun, who took advantage of the strong cavalry in his hand to annihilate the other reinforcements gathered in Chengyang City one by one.
In the end, Zhao Yun's army came to the city of Yang.
Garrison General Hao Wen is not a greedy person who is afraid of death, but his brain is not so bright, and he actually led his troops out of Chengyang City. Taishou Cao Hong's many dissuasions did not change Hao Wen's decision.
Hao Wen thinks very highly of himself, and always feels that he has only been a Chengyang County garrison general for so many years, which is really too condescending. A talent like him should be resounding all over the world. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat Zhao Yun, use Zhao Yun as a stepping stone, and achieve the reputation of Hao Wen in his life. Cao Hong's golden and jade words, how could he listen to it.
Well, Hao Wen wants to die himself, and no one can stop him. Cao Hong could only come to the city gate tower to watch, hoping that a miracle would appear.
Hao Wen slaughtered out of Chengyang City with a murderous spirit, and the soldiers pointed directly at Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun, who was preparing to attack the city, was stunned by this posture. Zhao Yun felt that his reputation was still very loud, although he could not be said to be invincible in the world, but he could be regarded as a famous party, a military general who dared to go out of the city and fight with himself was definitely not an idle person. Zhao Yun compared his heart to his heart, and felt that if he was a defender, he would definitely use the city to hold on and wait for help.
Presumably, the generals who came to challenge must have a few brushes, so Zhao Yun was ready to use 100% combat power to fight Hao Wen.
"Hao Wen, the general of the Chengyang garrison, is here! Zhao Zilong is here! Hao Wen danced his spear fast and stabbed at Zhao Yun's chest, thinking that he would kill Zhao Yun with one move.
"Good time!" Zhao Yun has never heard of such a military general in Xuzhou, after all, many talents are buried, I am afraid that this person is a hidden general. Zhao Yun was not a small cavalry leader under Gongsun Zan before, who would know you before you became famous.
Zhao Yun cheered up his spirit, swept vigorously, and blocked Hao Wen's spear.
Zhao Yun used eight points of strength this time, but he swept away the spear in Hao Wen's hand.
Hao Wen finally understood that he was overestimating himself, and at the same time underestimating Zhao Yun too much, the other party only needed one blow to let his weapon go, and it was still very clean and neat, Hao Wen's tiger's mouth burst out, and blood was dripping.
Zhao Yun didn't expect that his blow could have such a good effect, and he didn't care about anything else, so he stabbed him directly.
Hao Wen was still in a daze, and was stabbed in the throat by Zhao Yun, and he couldn't die anymore.
The defenders were stunned, they didn't expect the garrison general to take the initiative to challenge Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun did it in two clicks. Is this the legendary light of fireflies competing with the bright moon? Can you hold off an army led by such a brave general?
Cao Hong, the Taishou of the City Gate Tower, scolded Hao Wen to death in his heart, no one cares about you if you die, but because your death hits your own morale, it is your fault.
Zhao Yun thought that Hao Wen had a lot of ability, but his shot just now contained several changes, but he didn't expect to kill the other party with one shot.
The most important thing is that the defenders of Chengyang City were so frightened that they didn't even close the city gate.
Such a good thing, how could Zhao Yun let it go. I saw Zhao Yun rushing to the city gate. The troops behind him also ran quickly, as long as the city gate was captured, then Chengyang City would belong to them. The soldiers brought out by Hao Wen have all run out, and the main generals are dead, they can't stop a fierce man like Zhao Yun.
Taishou Cao Hong reacted, and he hurriedly shouted: "Close the door quickly!" ”
Unfortunately, it was too late, and Zhao Yun captured the Chengyang City Gate.
The situation took a turn for the worse, and Cao Hong could no longer hold Chengyang City. In the end, he chose to surrender, he was a civil official, and he didn't joke with his net worth.
Cao Hong's happy surrender reduced the unnecessary sacrifices of Zhao Yun's troops.
Zhao Yun saw this and spared Cao Hong's life. Cao Hong even said that he was Cao Bao's cousin, and euphemistically said that his family was in Picheng, Xuzhou.
Zhao Yun is very knowledgeable about human feelings, and knows that Cao Hong's surrender now is very detrimental to his family. Therefore, Zhao Yun announced that Cao Hong was defeated and captured, so that Cao Hong's family would not be embarrassed.
Cao Hong is grateful, it seems that he is very right master, Zhao Yun is so generous, presumably Liu Yu is also a benevolent monarch.
Chengyang City, Tian Feng was ready to come to take over the civil and military officials were soon in place, and Cao Hong continued to be his guard, but it was kept secret. With the help of Cao Hong, the head snake of the land, the area occupied by Zhao Yun in Chengyang County soon fell into the warm embrace of Emperor Liu Yu of Shenwu. Others who do not obey Emperor Shenwu will be taught how to behave in the future.
As soon as Chengyang County stabilized, Zhao Yun sent troops again and killed Dongguan County and the Xuzhou Cao Army led by Liu Bei and Cao Hong.
