Chapter 1020: Shouchun changes hands

Cao Cao is a decisive person, Cheng Yu proposed a sneak attack on Shouchun City, and he dared to agree and make this determination.

You must know that this Sun Ce is still their quasi-ally, in this case, this Cao Cao still said that he would fight, and he had no affection at all.

In fact, Cao Cao also understood that in the north, he was no longer Zhang Yu's opponent, and he had to prepare his own back road according to Cheng Yu's strategy.

Cao Cao prepared for two days, then led the army north and personally led the army to fight against Zhang Yu.

After Cao Cao left, Cheng Yu also led a large army to attack Hefei City.

There were only more than 60,000 defenders in Hefei City, and Cao's army had been attacking for several days at this time.

It's just that these Cao troops didn't attack on a large scale, and they only feinted before, disrupting Zhang Yu's arrangement.

Now, after receiving an order from Cheng Yu, he stormed Hefei City.

Zhang Yu's generals were all transferred to the north to fight.

There is only one young general in Hefei City.

"Why did Cao Jun suddenly launch such a fierce attack."

A few young generals rushed from the city to the city walls.

"Maybe it's going to be a real fight."

"They must be blocked, they are trying to force the lord to withdraw his troops in the north, and they can't let them succeed."

Several young generals went to several city walls to defend.

Cao's 150,000-strong army began to launch onslaught in turn.

After Zhang Yu's long-term operation, this Hefei City has been very strong.

Cao's army stormed, but the city of Hefei was still very strong.

Cao's army attacked fiercely for three days in a row, and for three days it was a day and night attack, without a moment's pause.

The military and civilians in Hefei City were linked, and a large number of people helped the defenders transport various materials.

With the sincere cooperation of the military and the people, although the defenders only had 60,000 men, they were able to rest and not be physically exhausted.

After three days of defense, thousands of people were killed, and Cao's army also lost more than 10,000 people.

As if he wanted to break through Hefei City, Cao Jun began to organize a new round of onslaught.

Shouchun City, defended by Jiang Qin at this time, had 50,000 troops in the city.

Jiang Qin has also been paying attention to the battle situation.

"General, a batch of grain and grass from Cao Jun wants to pass through us and pass directly through the city." A herald came over and said.

Jiang Qin frowned and thought and said, "Directly into the city? How many of them are there? ”

"10,000 people, 5,000 soldiers, the rest of the army detours." The soldier replied.

Jiang Qin hesitated, it was not a trivial matter for fifteen thousand people to enter the city, these heavy grains and grass were indeed difficult to transport, and if they entered the city directly, it would be much more convenient.

"Okay, but let them do our bidding."

Jiang Qin knew that the battle on Cao's side would definitely be tight and in urgent need of support, so he agreed.

Jiang Qin had no way to ask Sun Ce, who was thousands of miles away, so he could only make his own decision.

Jiang Qin placed 3,000 men outside the city, and then the city also sent additional troops.

At the same time, Jiang Qin stipulated that they could only enter from where they could enter and come out.

On both sides of the road, important places, Jiang Qin also sent a lot of soldiers and horses to defend.

Everything was ready, and this Cao army was already waiting for miles away, waiting for Jiang Qin to agree to pass by.

After preparing for a long time, Jiang Qin agreed to Cao Jun's borrowing.

After receiving the news, Cheng Yu was greatly relieved, and said to a general beside him: "It must be strictly controlled, and they must not be allowed to know that I am in the army, and I will attack when I enter the city halfway." ”

"Also, let those soldiers who pretend to be civilians be careful, they will be exposed."

Cao will say that he understands.

On the other side, Jiang Qin personally defended the city.

The arrangement has been completed, and Jiang Qin is confident that he will block the enemy.

Cao Jun's baggage came over.

Jiang Qin observed at the top of the city that there were indeed only 15,000 people, and there was no army behind them.

The baggage stopped at the door, and Jiang Qin asked people to inspect it, and only those who passed the inspection could be released.

I checked several cars in a row without any problems.

"Let the soldiers get ready, find out that something is wrong, and take it directly." Jiang Qin said to the soldiers beside him.

The soldier hurried away and went to give the order.

These Cao Jun are very cooperative, whether it is an inspection or something else.

Everything went smoothly and no surprises were found.

"Kill."

Suddenly, there were shouts of murder inside and outside the city.

Jiang Qin's face immediately darkened.

"Hurry up and report to Lu'an City."

"The archers release their arrows and close the gates."

"Order the armies of the other walls to come and support."

When Cao's army began to attack, Jiang Qin issued several orders in succession at the head of the city.

He didn't expect Cao Jun to suddenly attack.

He didn't understand why, but now he had to beat these Cao troops.

The archers at the head of the city began to attack.

But this could not stop Cao Jun from frantically pouring into the city.

They also had 3,000 soldiers outside the city, and Cao's army pounced on both sides, blocked them, and then surrounded them.

The rest of the soldiers rushed into the city.

After Jiang Qin gave the order, he went down to the city with his own soldiers.

The most important thing now is to get these armies out.

Cao's army, which entered the city, counterattacked back and attacked the city gate.

"General, the city gate can't be closed, and they blocked it with their baggage."

"General, Cao's army uses the baggage to block the reinforcements coming from other directions."

Hearing this, Jiang Qin's face darkened slightly, which was obviously carefully planned.

Cao Jun must win Shouchun.

Jiang Qin personally led people to fight Cao Jun.

Half an hour later, Cheng Yu led an army of 100,000 to kill.

The city gate could not be closed, and Cao Jun rushed directly in.

Jiang Qin led his army to resist, but soon half of the city fell into the hands of Cao's army.

"Go, abandon the city."

Cao's army had 100,000 people, and they were already difficult to stop without the defense of the city walls.

Jiang Qin had no choice but to give up the city.

By night, Cheng Yu had completely taken control of Shouchun City.

This Shouchun City is controlled by Cheng Yu, so in the face of the Jiangdong region, Cao Jun has a strong place to support.

"Tell the soldiers, be careful of your defenses." Cheng Yu said.

It was a big deal, but now it's happening.

If they fail to capture Shouchun City, and they offend the Cao army, the final result is that their hundreds of thousands of troops attacking Hefei City are in danger.

After taking control of the city, they began to check the situation in the city.

"Strategist, great joy. We found a lot of grain and grass in the city. ”

Cheng Yu was happy to hear about the grain and grass, not only went to see it in person, but also asked the soldiers to count it.

After some statistics, the results were amazing, there was too much grain and grass in the city.

"This Poyang Lake is really a big granary."

Cheng Yu understood that these grains and grasses must have been accumulated when Poyang Lake was still in Sun Ce's hands before.

There must be a reason for Jiang Qin to agree to pass through here, so he let the Cao army that attacked Hefei City storm for three days and three nights in a row, just to make Jiang Qin believe them.

"Zhang Yu's army will definitely be driven away, take control of this place, and become a new rear." Cheng Yu got a lot of grain and grass, and suddenly said confidently.
