Chapter 422: The Battle Tide Changes
But Cao's army was overwhelming, and they fell one after another to catch up, making it difficult for Li Jun to stand out.
Seeing this, Wei Yan shouted loudly: "Put the signal, hurry up!" ”
Hearing the order, the guards who followed Wei Yan quickly took out a small firework and wanted to light it, but at this moment, an arrow quickly pierced his chest.
"Bang!"
"Plop!"
With the entry of the feather arrow, the guards fell off their horses weakly, and the fireworks that had just been lit in their hands were also thrown aside and launched into the crowd.
"Bang!"
Bright fireworks rang out in the crowd, and Cao Jun was stunned.
And Li Jun has already seen it, for this sudden situation, it is just a moment, and he continues to fight forward.
The sudden stunned made Li Jun seize the opportunity and burst outward.
But Cao's army also reacted quickly, and under the command of Cao Hong, they besieged Wei Yan and others again. "Don't let them rush out, entangle them!"
The battalion commander who was waiting outside had not heard the signal for a long time, but he heard the faint sound of Cao Jun's shouting and killing, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
After thinking about it for a while, the battalion commander decided to send someone to check it out so as not to have any accidents.
After waiting anxiously for a while, the soldiers who went to investigate reported that Wei Yan was surrounded, and the battalion commander was frightened and hurriedly led his troops to support.
With the arrival of the battalion commander and the cooperation of Wei Yanli, he finally broke through the encirclement of Cao's army, and Wei Yan led the remnants to flee back to the city.
Seeing this, Cao Hong did not pursue, and ordered all his troops to go back to the camp to rest, and went to restore his life.
When the news reached Huang Zhong's ears, Huang Zhong did not punish him, but comforted him and let Wei Yan go to rest.
The camp failed, Huang Zhong ushered in the dawn uneasily, and after breakfast in the morning, he hurried to the city tower.
It is conceivable that the scene of Cao's army frantically attacking the city did not appear, but was calm.
Puzzled, Huang Zhong sent clever people to lurk out of the city to investigate, only to learn that Cao's army had attacked the camp last night, which caused the soldiers to be in high spirits.
Cao Cao was helpless, so he ordered to delay the siege time.
Seeing that Wei Yan's sneak attack had achieved results, Huang Zhong was also very satisfied in his heart, after all, he lost more than 1,000 people last night to win this short period of stability.
After spending the morning peacefully, Cao's army was halfway through noon, and finally the army assembled and began the mighty siege.
Under the fierce attack and defense, Cao Junyou threw down thousands of corpses and returned to Dazhai in vain.
Seeing that Cao's army had been attacking, Huang Zhong sent someone to send the news back to Li Huiyi again.
For the next three days, Cao's army continued to attack the city desperately, leaving thousands of corpses behind every day.
But on the fourth day, Cao's army suddenly changed its actions and sent a large army to besiege the city on all sides, but did not attack, and put on a siege appearance.
Seeing that Cao's army was besieging but not attacking, Huang Zhong also breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, after all, the grain and grass in the city were enough for him to hold on for a month.
Although he suspected that Cao Jun was trying to engage in some conspiracy, Huang Zhong did not dare to go out of the city to fight, after all, the defenders had suffered heavy losses after defending the city for days, and now there were less than 8,000 people.
As the two sides stood still, the battle situation calmed down for a while, as if the fierce fighting a few days ago was a dream.
Li Huiyi, who was far away in Yingxian County, received several battle reports from Huang Zhong, and immediately couldn't sit still anymore and decided to send troops.
Knowing that Li Huiyi wanted to send troops, Guo Jia repeatedly stopped him before he interrupted the idea of sending troops.
On this day, Li Huiyi summoned Guo Jia again to discuss whether he could send troops.
In the wing, Guo Jia said confidently: "Lord, isn't it strange that Cao Jun is so busy besieging the city, but Huang Zhongxin didn't mention a word in his words?"
"Tsk." Li Huiyi said: "The White Tiger Legion is extremely brave, and it is common sense to defend the city, and now Huang Zhong is involved in Cao Cao's main force, this is a great opportunity, if you open up contact with Qi County, our army can be mobilized at any time to fight Cao or kill Liu." ”
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "This is a good statement, but Cao Cao must also understand how he could mobilize the Laiwu defenders at this time." ”
"Hmm." Li Huiyi thought for a while and said: "But Chixian is also reused, and it is reasonable for Cao Cao to want to take it, is Feng Xiao thinking too much." ”
The opportunity is rare, although Guo Jia guessed that Cao Cao wanted to attack the west, but he couldn't withstand Li Huiyi's repeated thoughts of sending troops, after all, he was the master.
Seeing that Li Huiyi must want to send troops, Guo Jia pondered for a long time and said: "It's better to be like this, the lord asked Zhang Liao to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to come to support in case something happens." ”
"Then leave 5,000 troops in the city, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will be sent to take the border of Laiwu and open up contact with Qi County."
Seeing that Guo Jia finally agreed to send troops, Li Huiyi immediately said: "Okay, it's decided like this, Ben Hou immediately sent someone to inform Zhang Liao." ”
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Defending the city this time is very important, who is the lord going to let stay?" ”
Li Huiyi thought for a while and said: "Since this is the case, it is better to guard it with filial piety." ”
Although Li Huiyi's intention to send troops dominated, his head was still sober, and if the city was lost, he was afraid that he would be blocked in Taishan County.
Seeing Li Huiyi personally ordering himself, Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "Okay, but there is no one under the lord's command to solve his worries, so you should be careful in everything." ”
Li Huiyi nodded and said: "Don't worry, Fengxiao, there is evil, even if there is any accident, you can kill it unharmed." ”
Since he decided to send troops, Li Huiyi did not waste time, and immediately arranged for someone to go to inform Zhang Liao, and then gathered a large army and rushed to the border between Laiwu and Qi County.
But as soon as Li Huiyi's army was dispatched, the Cao army spies who were lurking outside immediately transmitted the news back.
When Li Dian learned the news, he also personally went to Dazhai on the border of Laiwu to preside over the overall situation and wait for Li Huiyi to arrive.
A few days later, Li Huiyi's army arrived, set up camp five miles away from Li Dian Dazhai, and hurriedly gathered his subordinates to test Cao's army.
Knowing that Li Huiyi personally came to call for battle, Li Dian did not come out to greet him, but only strictly ordered all departments to defend the camp.
Seeing that no one in Cao's army should fight, Li Huiyi insulted for a while, lost interest, and led the army away.
Cao's army avoided fighting, and Li Huiyi even concluded that Cao Cao's main force was still in Chixian.
After a day's rest of the whole army, Li Huiyi left 2,000 soldiers and horses to defend Dazhai, and led the rest of the army to pour out of the nest and besiege Cao's army camp.
But Cao Jun had been preparing for a long time, and the outside of the village had already been full of traps, and Li Jun had been attacking hard for half a day before he could clear a safe road.
And when entering the hand-to-hand encounter, Cao Jun was not chaotic at all, and the defense was not leaky, so that Li Jun had nowhere to break through.
As the sun set in the west, Li Jun left behind more than 2,000 corpses and had no choice but to retreat.
In the face of such a result, Li Huiyi had already thought of it, and he was not discouraged, but instead summoned the three armies to encourage him and boost his morale.
After doing everything, Li Huiyi returned to the camp, thought for a long time, and decided to change his strategy tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Li Huiyi summoned the army to assemble and did not rush to attack.
On the platform, Li Huiyi looked at the soldiers who were on standby, and shouted loudly: "In yesterday's battle, our army suffered more than 2,000 casualties. ”
"In order to reduce unnecessary sacrifices, Ben Hou decided to organize a stormtroopering army, numbering a regiment, led by Dian Wei, to break through the enemy's Dazhai."
"Those who participate in the stormtrooping army will be rewarded with ten acres of fertile land after the war, and they can intermarry with the Han people early and enjoy all the benefits they deserve."
"If you unfortunately die, this candidate will set up a monument in Youbeiping, so that you can be admired by future generations."
