Chapter 91 The strong city is difficult to fall, and the belly and back are under the enemy!

Knock knock! ~~ Break through Yecheng and capture Yuan Shang alive!

Whining! ~~ Break through Yecheng and capture Yuan Shang alive!

Jizhou ~ Yecheng, the war drums are like thunder, the horns are continuous, a fierce offensive and defensive battle is underway, as far as the eye can see, the battlefield is like a sea of flags, people and horses are like a tide, the sound of shouting and killing is earth-shattering, the soldiers of the two armies are fighting bloodily, no one is willing to take half a step back, only the corpses that are killed are piled up like a mountain, and the blood flows into a river ~~~

Hundreds of thousands of Cao troops poured out, the men and horses were divided into four teams, under the leadership of the general and the captain, the dead soldiers carried the ladders, waved their blades, and took turns to impact the Yecheng defense line, the offensive wave after wave, and hundreds of thunderbolts, constantly throwing boulders, smashing the defenders at the head of the city!

In order to boost the morale of the whole army, Cao Cao was neatly draped, waving the order flag in one hand, holding the sword in the other, standing on a horse chariot, personally commanding the battle, facing the arrows and stones, there was no fear on his face, and when he saw the cowardly, he drew his sword and stood before the battle.

The art of war is cloudy: the upper army is wise, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the next attack is the most unwise, at the cost of heavy casualties, to storm the opponent's city, Cao Cao is familiar with military books, has been on the battlefield for a long time, and naturally understands this truth, but under the pressure of the battlefield situation, he has to make this decision!

Cao Jun's original plan: to encircle the points and send reinforcements, and each one to break through, is to besiege Yecheng, attract all walks of life of the Yuan army, and then set up an ambush to annihilate them one by one, and finally concentrate on taking Yecheng in one fell swoop!

The tactical plan is good, you can wait for the enemy to send you, but no, I wanted to catch a grass carp, but as a result, a shark, Karasuma, Xianbei, Liaodong, Youzhou four troops combined, a total of 180,000 horses, went south to support Yecheng!

At the same time, Yuan Tan gave up Qingzhou, commanded 40,000 troops to return to Jizhou, stationed in the upper reaches of Zhangshui, threatened the flank of Cao's army's camp, and took advantage of the geographical advantage to send a small group of men and horses to constantly attack Cao's army's grain road, harassing day and night, and it was impossible to prevent it!

In front of the fortified city to the south, there was a strong enemy outside to help, and the rear was harassed, to this point, the battlefield situation took a sharp turn for the worse, Cao Jun suffered from the enemy on his back, it was difficult to support, the soldiers were panicked, and Cao Cao also had the intention of retreating!

At the critical moment, the good news came from the Western Front, Xiao Yi won a complete victory, killed Gao Gan, Liu Bao, Uwei ~~ annihilated 100,000 Huns, completely pacified the state, and then, Jia Xu, Cao Pi waved his army to the east, supporting the middle of the road, after the two armies converged, morale was restored, the strength increased greatly, and finally stabilized the battle situation!

The battle situation has stabilized, if you want to defeat a strong enemy, it is still difficult, since the Northern Expedition of the Cao army, it has been a fierce battle for more than half a year, the men and horses are very tired, the ordnance, grain and grass are also consumed, and the rear supply is becoming more and more difficult, and the opponent's 180,000 horses, but the new force, iron hooves scimitar, strong combat power!

In addition, Cao Jun is Yan, Yu, Si, Xu Zhizhong, not adapted to the water and soil of Hebei, there are many sick soldiers, once the war drags on, into the middle of winter, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, Cao Jun's combat effectiveness, will inevitably plummet, even if you want to return with your whole body, I'm afraid you can't do it!

In desperation, Cao Cao had no choice but to mobilize men and horses to storm Yecheng with all his might, hoping to capture Yuan Shang alive and break the stalemate on the battlefield, with three purposes:

First, after breaking through Yecheng and capturing Yuan Shang, the enemy army has countless dragons, and it will inevitably retreat, and the whole territory of Jizhou can be down!

Second, Yecheng is the old nest of the Yuan family, and it is the richest town in Hebei, storing a large amount of money, ordnance, grain and grass, after seizing it, it can supplement the needs of the army!

Third, after occupying Yecheng, Cao's army has a foothold, and can survive the winter safely, recuperate, recuperate from war wounds, and wait until the spring of the next year to bloom, and then continue the Northern Expedition!

The Prime Minister's Jun Order: Who can break through Yecheng and capture Yuan Shangxiao'er alive, the old man will play the Son of Heaven and crown him as the lord of Jizhou.

In the face of the grim battle situation, Cao Cao also let go, and in order to boost morale, he offered a sky-high reward~~ Jizhou Mu's official position!

Jizhou is fertile for thousands of miles, with a household registration of one million, it is the largest state in the world, and it is also the foundation of the king, who did Jizhou pastor, it is equivalent to becoming the emperor of the soil, and he will not change it for a prince, so the morale of the Cao army is greatly boosted, everyone is brave, and everyone is vying for the first!

Knock knock! ~~ Stick to Yecheng and fight to the death!

Whining! ~~ Forward is rewarded, backward kills!

Yecheng ~ The city wall is tall and indestructible, the arrow tower is dense, the trench is heavy, the four corners are built with the acropolis, echoing each other from afar, and attracting the water of the Zhanghe River, surrounding the city wall, forming a perfect defense system, with which the city defense can be blocked, and millions of heroes can be blocked!

Yuan Shang, Guo Tu, wearing strong armor and carrying a sword, supervised the battle at the head of the city, they moved out the gold, silver and jewelry, rewarded the soldiers, and boosted morale, while setting up a supervision team, holding a ghost head knife, killing the retreaters, so on the up, Yuan Jun is also a surge in combat power, and the city defense will not retreat!

Cao Jun shouted to kill the heavens, the offensive wave after wave, Yuan Jun did not retreat, the defense line was as stable as a rock, every fierce collision between the two sides, it was the stumps flying around, blood gushing like a spring, I don't know how many lives were killed and wounded!

Woo! ~~ Woo! Woo!

In the midst of the fierce battle, the horn sounded in the north, and I saw the Jin Ge Iron Horse, lined up in a row, quickly pressed over, and rushed to the two wings of the Cao army's large array, it turned out to be Karasuma, Xianbei, Liaodong, Youzhou four people, under the command of Yuan Xu, came to the rescue of Yecheng!

180,000 coalition troops, most of them are nomadic cavalry, iron hoof scimitars, strong bows and crossbows, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, as for the people who lead the army, they are not incompetent, Karasuma Leader ~ Badun, Xianbei Leader ~ Kebineng, Liaodong Shizi ~ Gongsun Du, all are resourceful, brave and good at fighting!

Kill! ~~Kill! Kill!

Prosperous! ~~Prosperous! Prosperous!

Jizhou is fertile for thousands of miles, the terrain is flat, just suitable for the cavalry to show off their might, Karasuma, Xianbei two people, iron hooves trampling, slashing and killing, quickly broke through the left and right wings of the Cao army, and then threatened the hoplites of the Chinese army, Liaodong, Youzhou, immediately followed up, and continued to expand the results!

Cao's army is in the plain, there is no danger to defend, and he is tired from a long battle, so he has to keep retreating, and let the generals and captains fight desperately, and it is difficult to recover the situation!

In desperation, Cao Cao had no choice but to transfer men and horses to support the left and right wings, and the troops used to attack the city were sharply reduced.

Yecheng is as solid as a rock, the soldiers can't attack for a long time, they are already quite tired, Karasuma, Xianbei, Liaodong, Youzhou people, take the opportunity to attack the flank of our army, and then want to fight, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the army, please also ask the prime minister to collect the troops!

Guo Jia stood on the side of the chariot and saw the form on the battlefield very clearly, so he suggested that he collect the troops, return to the camp to rectify the people, and decide the winner again in the future!

Qiyu Prime Minister, Yuan Tan led the Qingzhou people to storm the base camp of our army, and several barriers have been broken, Li Dian and Le Jin will not be able to resist, please return to help quickly!

A messenger for help came, covered in blood and embarrassed, reporting bad news, and if he didn't return to the division to rescue, the base camp would be shaken!

Pass the old man's order: Cao Ren and Cao Hong broke off the two parts, blocked Karasuma, Xianbei's cavalry, the whole army marched in turn, slowly retreated to the camp, and there were those who did not listen to the order~~ beheaded!

The siege was frustrated, the enemy was attacked on the back of the abdomen, the battle situation was extremely unfavorable, and those who were as strong as the traitorous male Cao Cao could only endure for a while and issued an order to retreat!

In an instant, the Cao army stopped attacking the city, retreated like a tide, and then lined up the team, reorganized the army formation, and the various departments retreated in turn, slowly returning to the camp, looking around, the forerunner was not panicked, the latter was not afraid, and the Cao army was trained strongly, which can be seen in general!

Wansheng! ~~ Wan Sheng! Wansheng!

Seeing Cao Jun retreating, Yuan Jun waved his blade and cheered, but they shouted loudly, but they didn't go out of the city to pursue, as if they were collectively farewell~

On the one hand, although the Cao army was frustrated, but the formation was strict, the army's morale was not chaotic, and the Yuan army was defeated repeatedly, and it was already afraid, where it dared to go out of the city to chase and kill!

As for Karasuma, Xianbei, and the people of Liaodong are called sending troops to help the war, but in fact, they are here to reap the benefits, just to grab more beauties, food, and cloth, so they naturally refuse to fight hard!

On the other hand, the various departments are jealous and deeply afraid of a person, a murderous demon ~ Xiao Yi!

In the battle of Bingzhou, Xiao Yi won more with less, killed Liu Bao, Uwei, Gao Gan, and annihilated 100,000 Xiongnu elites, after the news came, Karasuma, Xianbei, and Liaodong were panicked, for fear of encountering the killing god and following in the footsteps of the Huns!

But the arrival of reinforcements from the West Road, Ma Liu, Da Niu, Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu, Yu Ban~~ and all the generals appeared on the battlefield, but Xiao Yi was not seen, no one knew where he was and what he was doing, this mysterious and unpredictable feeling made the departments more afraid!

Therefore, no matter what the people of each department do, they are all cautious, reserving three points of strength, so as not to let Xiao Yi suddenly appear, even if they can't resist it, they can retreat with their whole body!

Under the two reasons, although the coalition army won, but did not pursue the killing, the Cao army marched in turn, slowly returned to the camp, and the two sides confronted each other again, entangled endlessly, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser!

And one more!
