Chapter 0809: Besieging the White Horse

"Only a thousand people. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Yuan Sheng covered his nose and looked at him with a look of disgust.

"A thousand?" Xu You closed his eyes, shook his way and said, "What's the use of a thousand people?" When the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army arrived, we couldn't hold it for half a day. Quick, go for help, call for help from the army closest to us. ”

"Someone has been sent." Yuan Sheng was not angry and said, "Brother Ziyuan, how did the Northern Frontier cavalry quietly kill here?" Could it be that they ate Cao Cao and Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops in one bite? ”

"Impossible...... Xu You turned his head again to look at the northern cavalry under the city, shook his head and said, "Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army together has more than 100,000 people, they can't defeat Li Yi, they can also retreat across the Jishui River and stick to the line of Dongduan and Jiyang." This may be the outflanking strategy of the Northern Xinjiang Army, intending to block our army from advancing eastward to rescue Cao Cao and Liu Bei, so as to buy time for their main army to encircle and annihilate Cao Cao and Liu Bei. ”

A few people were speculating on the city tower, only to see the cavalry of the northern frontier under the city suddenly dispatched and killed the mighty side of the city.

"It's not good, the Northern Frontier Army is going to attack the city." Yuan Sheng shouted in fright.

"Withdraw, withdraw, quickly withdraw...... Xu You turned around and ran, and suddenly had the strength in a hurry, rushing down the stone steps like a rabbit, shouting loudly, "The Northern Xinjiang Army is going to shoot arrows, quickly dodge, quickly dodge ......"

There was a piercing roar in the sky, and batches of long arrows showed hideous smiling faces in the air, killing the sky overwhelmingly.

Yanzhou East County, White Horse City.

Under the command of Zhang Fei, the Northern Xinjiang Army rushed to the bank of the Yellow River as quickly as possible.

Thousands of large ships are waiting at five ferry crossings.

The soldiers boarded the ship one by one and rushed to the south bank of the Yellow River. Hundreds of rebels stationed on the banks of the Yellow River flew out of the sky and fled back to White Horse City, forty miles away.

At this time, Gao Gan was commanding a large army outside the city to block Li Jing's attack, although he also knew that the number of ships on the Yellow River had increased recently, but he thought that these ships were transporting grain and grass to the northern army in Hanoi County, and did not expect Zhang Fei's army to cross the Yellow River south to attack Baima in such a short time.

"Urgently tell Yan Liang, ask him to support the white horse quickly, quickly, quickly......"

While ordering the army to withdraw to White Horse City, Gao Gan hurriedly sent fast horses to Yancheng and asked Yan Liang to lead the army to support. If the white horse is lost, the line of Fengqiu and Chenliu is under the attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and the Central Plains is in danger.

Koyi's army was the first to cross the river and rush to White Horse City to meet Li Jing.

At dusk, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, Yu Ban and others led their troops to the city one after another. More than 60,000 northern Xinjiang troops besieged the White Horse City.

Zhang Fei and the generals carefully inspected the terrain outside the Nancheng Gate, and decided to choose the main attack direction in the Nancheng.

"When will the siege equipment arrive?" Zhang Fei turned his head to look at Xu Miao behind him, and asked in a cold voice, "I'm going to attack the city tomorrow." ”

"The siege equipment of the various departments is being transported across the Yellow River by boat. Due to the large number of soldiers and civilians accompanying them, the number of ships is limited, so there is a delay in time. Xu Miao said, "General Chang Yuchun also considered this problem, so long before the army crossed the river, he had urgently transferred a batch of ordnance from the Handan arsenal to Puyang. Just wait for the army to start crossing the river, that is, from the direction of Puyang. It is estimated that this batch of ordnance will be transported here tomorrow morning. ”

Zhang Fei nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It's still thoughtful, and there is no delay for a minute." ”

"It's time to grab now, and we can't afford to delay." Guo Jia said with a smile on the side, "After we withdraw from the Henan battlefield, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao's troops can be transferred to the Yanzhou battlefield immediately. If we can hit the front line of Yanjin and Suozao as soon as possible and threaten Henan, we will definitely be able to hold back some of the rebels, so that we can buy time for the main army to defeat Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and hit the front line of Fengqiu and Chenliu. ”

"It's not a problem to fight a white horse." Yu Ban pointed to the city in front of him, and said to Li Jing with a smile, "Pharmacist, this time we will help you vent your anger and eat this kid Gao Gan alive." ”

"It's hard to deal with high-level cadres." Li Jing waved his horsewhip with a serious expression, "He has nearly 20,000 horses, sufficient grain, grass and armaments, and Yan Liang who came from the direction of Yancheng to support, if you want to eat him, it will take a lot of strength." We can't afford to lose too much, and we can't afford to delay too long in Hakuba, because this battle is not easy to fight. ”

"Is there any news from the direction of Yancheng?" Zhang Fei asked Li Jingdao.

"There is no update. Based on the time, the scouts should be rewarded tonight. Li Jing said, "I'm worried that the attack will be too fierce and attract Yan Liang's army to Baima too soon, so I've been fighting with Gao Gan for the past few days." Yan Liang probably didn't expect you to cross the river so quickly, and you have been standing still in Yancheng. ”

"Yan Liang's immobility was not due to a miscalculation, but because Cao Cao on the battlefield in Yanzhou might need his support." Yu Ban smiled, "Of course you have to make a mistake." When we defeat the white horse, Yan Liang's kid will cry. ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and Guo Jia suddenly said: "Yancheng is one hundred and sixty miles away from Baima, if Yan Liang wants to support, he will not be able to reach Baima until the day after tomorrow at the earliest, you see......"

Guo Jia raised the horsewhip, nodded in the middle of the horsewhip, and asked everyone, "Shall we hit Yan Liang first?" ”

"Surround the white horse and attack Yan Liang's reinforcements." Koji Yi perked up and said happily, "After defeating Yan Liang, we can directly kill Yanjin and Suojube, and complete the attack on Henan in the fastest time." Fengxiao, this method is good, first send reinforcements. ”

"After defeating Yan Liang's reinforcements, Gao Gan lost his support, I see how long he can hold out." Yu Ban also waved his hand excitedly and said, "No matter how much food he has, he will have a day when he will finish eating." After eating the grain, what else can Gao Gan eat? Cannibalism? Gao Gan pampered him, and asked him to eat people, but he was afraid that he would not be able to swallow it. ”

The generals burst into laughter.

"Yide, give the order, let's go south overnight." Tian Kai looked at Zhang Fei and said excitedly, "We were heavily surrounded by rebels on the battlefield in Henan, and we were attacked everywhere, with many casualties. This battle must make up for the previous losses. ”

"Okay, let's go overnight." Zhang Fei waved his hand vigorously and said categorically.

Then he turned his head to look at Li Jing and said, "Medicine Master, you attacked all the way, and the soldiers were very tired, so you stayed to surround White Horse City." ”

Zhang Fei glanced at the rest of the generals again, and said loudly: "The rest of the troops, follow me south to Pingyang and besiege and kill the rebels." ”

………………

Yanzhou East County, Zhongmu.

The Henan battlefield was immediately quiet after the retreat of the Northern Xinjiang Army. The armies of all divisions immediately went south to Zhongmu to assemble and prepare to attack the Yanzhou battlefield.

After arriving in Zhongmu, Yuan Xu and more than a dozen generals of the unified army went out of the city to greet them.

Yuan Xuan is handsome and elegant, outstanding in writing, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, coupled with a prominent family, making him quite famous in Luoyang, Ying, and Ru.

Yuan Shao thought that Yuan Xuan was too frivolous and flashy, so he deliberately drove him out of Luoyang and let him go to Nanyang for training.

In the few years that Yuan Xi was in charge of Nanyang, Corporal Lixian recruited a lot of talents and governed Nanyang very well.

Yuan Xu himself liked scriptures and was good at debate, and often went back and forth to the schools in Nanyang and Xiangyang, discussing scriptures with the famous scholars and scholars in the two places, and talking about current affairs.

His practice greatly improved the relationship between Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, and Yuan Shao was deeply pleased.

What made Yuan Shao especially happy was that Yuan Xun had an indifferent temperament and turned a deaf ear to the inheritance. Although Yuan Tan repeatedly wooed Yuan Xi with brotherly love, he was politely rejected by Yuan Xu.

Yuan Xi's efforts finally paid off. This time, Yuan Shao sat in Xuchang and handed over the power of front-line command to Yuan Xu. No matter what the victory or defeat of this battle is, Yuan Xu's position in Yuan Valve will leap up and surpass Yuan Tan.

Yuan Shao not only gained Yuan Xu's trust and loyalty, but also successfully solved the heir problem with Yuan Xu's help.

The generals of Luoyang keenly saw the mystery, and their attitude towards Yuan Xi was suddenly respectful, and even more so, they had begun to quietly "visit" Yuan Xi with heavy gifts to deepen their feelings.

In the past, he had always been Yuan Shao's cronies, participated in and helped Yuan Shao establish a hegemony, and his status in Luoyang was very high. At this moment, Yuan Shao released the trial from prison and asked him to assist Yuan Xi in commanding the overall situation, and of course Yuan Xi knew his intentions.

With Yuan Xu's talent and prestige, he couldn't command this big battle at all, but he could. As long as there is a trial on the front line, Yuan Xu, the commander, will not only be safe and sound, but also be able to make meritorious contributions.

Yuan Xi took the gift of his disciples and welcomed the trial into Zhongmu City.

The trial mate stayed in prison for a while, and his complexion was obviously very poor, and he was exhausted from the day and night journey. Yuan Xi planned to let the trial and match rest for a day before proceeding with the discussion, but the trial refused, he said: "The Central Plains War is entering a critical moment, time is everything, and there must be no delay. ”

Yuan Xu, Jiao Touch, Wen Ping, Han Heng, Ma Yan, and others respectively gave detailed explanations of the many battles that took place on the battlefield in Henan in the past month or so.

Sima Liangqi explained the situation on the battlefield in Yanzhou.

"At present, the imperial court requires us to advance rapidly eastward, along Junyi and Xiaohuang, and rush to Gongjiangju between Dongdui and Waihuangcheng." Liang Qi pointed to the map and said to everyone, "In this way, the army can not only go north, meet Cao Cao and Liu Bei's retreat on the front line of Dongduan and Jiyang, but also go south to the front line of Waihuang and Kaocheng, block the attack launched by the Northern Xinjiang Army from the area of Bocheng and Jishi City, and protect Chenliu, which can be described as a strategy that kills two birds with one stone." ”

"Give up this strategy, give it up immediately." As soon as Liang Qi's words fell, the judge stood up, waved his hand and said urgently, "Immediately write to Xuchang, we will go north to the front line of Fengqiu and Yancheng, go north to support Baima, and go south to attack Dongduan and Jiyang, in order to respond to the retreat of Cao Cao and Liu Bei." ”

Yuan Xuan and the generals were dumbfounded, not knowing why the trial had said this, and they were so eager. (To be continued.) )
