Chapter 549: Raid on Hedong

In the camp outside the city of Shangdang, a trumpet echoed.

The cavalry was ready to go, and behind them were groups of infantry and baggage.

Zhang Liao rode in front, behind him was Xi Zhicai, and in the back were Gao Shun, Ma Dai, Ma Chao and Gan Ning.

This time, 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry were sent out to occupy Hedong first, and Zhao Jiu and Zhang Jaw and other generals of Chaoge Wei County occupied Hanoi together, strangling the retreat of Cao Cao's Hebei army and forcing them into the Yellow River.

After Ma Dai was captured by Shangdang, he was imprisoned for a long time before agreeing to surrender, and stayed in the recruit camp to train recruits until today, when he sent troops to Hedong, and was transferred out by Zhang Liao.

"General, the Hedong Wei clan is the general of Wei Qing, quite famous, if we attack, we will definitely make a surprise attack, catch all the people of the Wei clan, and not let go of a single person, otherwise with the reputation of their Wei family, although Cao Cao will send troops for them, but the people of the world will definitely stand up for the Wei family!"

There was a glint in Xi Zhicai's eyes, and he hugged his hand and said to Zhang Liao, since today, Xi Zhicai's health is not very good, if it is not for the military order, Zhang Liao will send Xi Zhicai to Changshan to recuperate.

Zhang Liao nodded, turned his head to look at Xi Zhicai, clasped his hands and said: "Zhicai, the Lord is building a hospital in Changshan, and after this big victory, you will go back to Changshan to see a doctor!" ”

"Hey! It's an old problem, the general doesn't have to worry about me! ”

Xi Zhicai's heart moved, and he hugged his hand gratefully and said.

This problem of his was caused when he was a teenager, and although he has rarely had seizures, the seizures are extremely painful and unbearable.

At this moment, Xi Zhicai's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his body on the horse trembled.

"It doesn't work! Someone came, escorted the general division down, and sent a carriage to Changshan for treatment! ”

Zhang Liao sighed, seeing that the appearance of the drama Zhicai was no longer able to follow the march, he smiled with his hands, and hurriedly shouted to the herald behind him.

Suddenly, more than a dozen horsemen and guards caught up from behind, and they had to protect Xi Zhi before going down.

"General, when it is not easy to make a contribution this time, please let Zhicai follow! I can still hold on, but I just have to ask the general to prepare a carriage for me! ”

Xi Zhicai stubbornly looked at Zhang Liao and hugged his hands and said.

These days, although Chang Shan has just stopped fighting, but they are mainly on the defensive, and the military merits they have not obtained are very many, Xi Zhicai is very grateful to Chu He for giving him this great position of military advisor, and he wants to return a big gift, this time the feat of driving Cao Cao's troops into the Yellow River, but he has to participate in it no matter what.

Zhang Liao knew Xi Zhicai's temper, hugged his hand and saluted, and said to Xi Zhicai: "Then please follow the infantry behind, and we will follow Jihua and take the first step!" ”

"Just go, general, I'll be there later!"

Xi Zhicai squeezed out a smile, looked at Zhang Liao and said.

Zhang Liao clasped his hands, raised the sword in his hand, and said loudly: "The cavalry brigade will go first, and it will arrive in Hedong in two days!" ”

"Let's go!"

After hearing this, all the soldiers were overjoyed, and they raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

The army marched forward quickly, bringing up a whirlwind, and rushed straight to the east of the southern river.

Two days later!

Under the gray sky, the sound of horses' hooves woke the soldiers guarding Hedong Town from their daze.

Zhang Liao led the army to come non-stop, first broke Pingyang, and then occupied Jiangcheng, and then divided the troops into two places, respectively to Xie Liang and Wenxi.

After spending a day and conquering the cities, he finally came to the east of the river when the city gate was opened at dawn.

Cao Cao's army in Hedong City did not have any sense of it, because the speed of the city in front of them was too fast, so they did not receive even a little information on their side.

When the soldiers at the head of the city found Zhang Liao's army, the army had already come to the city, like a whirlwind, and did not give the soldiers of Hedong City any time to think, so they rushed away from the crowd entering the city and entered the city directly.

"Changshan Zhang Liao again, the resisters kill!"

The army rushed straight into Hedong City with a cloud of smoke and dust, and fought with the enemy generals inside.

Gao Shun was invincible with the trapping camp, and the big axe pointed to it, almost without a breakdown, and soon the north gate was breached.

At the same time, in the other three gates, Ma Dai, Ma Chao, and Gan Ning led a thousand cavalry to wait outside, but all the enemy troops who withdrew towards the outside were killed together.

"Surrender or kill!"

"Surrender or kill!"

The army screamed frantically, and the defending army in the city was instantly disintegrated without reacting, completely losing the power to resist.

After Hedong was occupied by Cao Cao, a total of 10,000 defenders were stationed, but these 10,000 defenders were not completely in Hedong but had 8,000 people stationed in Puzhou and Dayang, both of which were important riverbank cities, and were the two major fortresses that Cao Cao used to defend Dong Zhuo.

Zhang Liao and the others easily entered the city, and soon found the place where the Wei clan lived in Hedong from the guards, and sent 5,000 soldiers to firmly control the Wei family compound.

Bang!

The gate of the Wei Mansion was smashed open, Zhang Liao walked into the inner middle with his personal guards, and Gao Shun led the soldiers trapped in the camp to pacify the people, guard the four gates, and lead the generals outside the other gates into the city.

There were not many guards in the open air, but at first some people resisted, but after being killed, the maids and servants inside fell to their knees one after another, and many of the guards abandoned their armor and surrendered.

"What about you people who defend the house? Why is it that there is only a group of minions, but there is no master? ”

Zhang Liao grabbed a chief manager and asked in a deep voice.

The chief said tremblingly: "After the people of the Wei family were recruited by Cao Cao, they moved one after another, except for the prince of Wei Zhongdao who was still in the inner courtyard, and more than a dozen clan elders have not left, the rest of the people have already moved to Yanzhou to settle down!" ”

Zhang Liao's brows furrowed, he let go of the chief steward, and led the people to stride towards the inner courtyard.

There are more than 300 houses in total, more than a dozen courtyards, and it will take at least a moment to go from the first to the first one.

The soldiers kept moving towards the inside, opening the doors one by one.

When I opened the door of Zuihou, I saw more than a dozen corpses kneeling on the ground, who had already cut themselves, and a sick young man, stepping on a stool, holding silk in one hand, ready to hang himself.

"Are you Wei Zhongdao?"

Zhang Liao walked inside and asked with a sneer.

Wei Zhongdao nodded, haha smiled, looked at Zhang Liao in front of him and said, "Go back and tell Chu He that I will use the Wei family elder and my body to make him ruined!" ”

"Humph! It's a good idea to be dead, but ......"

Zhang Liao said in a deep voice, before the words fell, a soldier on the side of the wall raised his sword and shot it, directly breaking the silk satin, Wei Zhongdao's body shook, and he fell directly from the stool.
