Chapter 1169: The Qin Army that Suddenly Killed
Cao's army besieged the city for several days and launched a fierce attack on Li Yangcheng all day long.
The soldiers of the Yuan army guarding Liyang had almost exhausted all the arrows, and there was nothing on the city to defend against the stones and boiling oil of the Cao army.
Liyang City is in danger.
Yuan Tan, who had just repelled an attack by the Cao army, held a blood-stained long sword, staring at the large array of the Cao army outside the city, and his sword hand was trembling slightly.
The attacks of the Cao army became more and more fierce each time, and the casualties of the Yuan army on the head of the city were nearly half.
Judging from the current situation, at most, in five or seven days, Cao's army can break through Liyang.
"General!" Staring at the Cao army's large array outside the city, Xin Ping came behind Yuan Tan, hugged his fists and said to him: "The Cao army's offensive is fierce day by day, and our army is afraid that it will be difficult to last, and it will not take a few days to break the city of Liyang!" ”
Turning his head and glaring at Xin Ping, Yuan Tan asked in a very cold tone, "Aren't you afraid?" ”
"General Mingjian!" Clasped his hands into fists, hurriedly bowed to Yuan Tan, and Xin Ping said to him: "The subordinates already have the determination to die, how can they be afraid that Cao Jun will break the city." Just the general......"
Looking up at the clear blue sky, the expression on Yuan Tan's face was lonely, and after a long time, he said: "General Ben knows what you want to say, it's nothing more than abandoning the city and leaving, and I'll do it later!" But look at the Cao army outside the city, surrounding this Liyang like a bucket, how can we evacuate? ”
Looking at the Cao army's large array outside the city, Xin Ping was also silent for a while.
Although the Cao army outside the city did not launch an attack for the time being, it was trapped in Liyang City, in this case, it was impossible to break through during the day, even if it was night, it was absolutely impossible to escape at night.
With entanglements on their faces, Yuan Tan and Xin Ping were speechless to each other.
Just when they were looking at the Cao army outside the city, already expecting the end of the city break, a soldier nearby suddenly raised his hand and pointed outside the city, shouting: "General, the Cao army is retreating!" ”
At the same time as the soldiers shouted, Yuan Tan had already noticed that Cao Jun's array had changed somewhat.
The Cao army, which was originally facing the city wall, suddenly changed its formation, and the soldiers all turned their faces to the direction with their backs to Li Yangcheng.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Tan furrowed his brows tightly, and he didn't understand why Cao Jun was like this for a while.
"Could it be the ...... of the son of Xianfu" Looking at Cao Jun outside the city who suddenly changed the direction of the array, Xin Ping also said with some hesitation: "But there are few soldiers in Yecheng, how dare the son of Xianfu send troops to the rescue?" ”
In his heart, he also felt that it was impossible for Yuan Shang to send troops, but Yuan Tan didn't say anything, just stared at Cao Jun outside the city silently.
Shortly after Cao Jun turned around, a fluttering battle flag appeared at the end of the horizon.
The ink-colored battle flag appeared at the end of the horizon, and as the battle flag advanced, Yuan Tan clearly saw a straight red line, rapidly advancing towards Liyang.
"Qin Jun!" Seeing the ink-colored battle flag and straight red line that appeared at the end of the horizon, Yuan Tan's eyes suddenly opened, and he said to Xin Ping beside him: "Could it be that General Ben is dazzled?" How did the Qin army come to Liyang? ”
Qin Jun's figure clearly appeared in his field of vision, and Xin Ping was also stunned, but he didn't respond to Yuan Tan on the spot.
"General, the Qin army is here!" Xin Ping looked out of the city with a stunned face, Guo Tu ran over from the side, and as soon as he arrived next to Yuan Tan, he raised his hand and pointed out of the city and shouted at Yuan Tan.
Turning his head to look at Guo Tu, Yuan Tan nodded and said, "I already know that the Qin army is here, but I don't know why they came!" ”
"Hebei is adjacent to Great Qin, once Cao Cao can go, the King of Qin must also have no food to sleep!" Holding his fists and arching towards Yuan Tan, Guo Tu said: "The Qin army is here, presumably specifically to relieve the siege of Liyang!" ”
"Do you want to lead the army out of the city?" Turning his face to look at Guo Tu again, Yuan Tan asked him.
Twisting his eyebrows and pondering for a while, Guo Tu said to him: "The general does not move, the Qin army is strong, since it has come from afar, there must be a way to break Cao!" Our army is waiting on the city wall for the time being, and it is the Qin army that is determined to come, and it is not too late to go out of the city and attack from both sides! ”
After listening to Guo Tu's words, Yuan Tan nodded, and then didn't say anything more, but his eyes were staring at the outside of the city.
The Cao army outside the city did not advance towards the Qin army, but lined up in formation, waiting for the Qin army to arrive.
The flying ink-colored battle flags and the Qin army wearing big red armor quickly advanced towards Liyang City, but it was only half an hour, and Yuan Tan on the city wall could already faintly see the figures of the generals at the front of the Qin army's large array.
Looking at the Qin army from afar, which gradually stopped his pace, Yuan Tan's brows furrowed, and he said to Xin Ping and Guo Tu behind him: "You two look at the Qin army in front of the big array, those generals are so good-looking?" ”
As soon as Yuan Tan said this, Guo Tu and Xin Ping also hurriedly looked at the three generals in front of the Qin army's big array.
When they saw the three generals, Guo Tu furrowed his brows and said to Yuan Tan: "The one riding the big red war horse under his crotch is undoubtedly Lu Bu." There were two beside him...... Why do you look so familiar? ”
"Isn't that Yan Liang and Wen Chou!" Xin Ping, who was standing on the other side of Yuan Tan, looked at the Qin army who was confronting Cao Jun, and shouted loudly: "I heard that the two of them have served the King of Qin, Lu Bu and the two of them are here, and there is no doubt that it will be the Qin army who comes from behind the Cao army!" ”
"Soldiers!" Xin Ping shouted, just to remind Yuan Tan, he fixed his eyes to see that the two were really Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers of the Yuan army at the head of the city: "King Qin sent troops to come to help, Liyang is saved!" ”
After being attacked by Cao's army for several days, the soldiers of the Yuan army who defended the city had long held the idea of death in their hearts.
Suddenly hearing that it was the Qin army outside the city, the soldiers of the Yuan army shouted in unison, and many of them even took off their helmets excitedly and threw them high.
Yuan Jun was excited at the head of the city, but Cao Jun outside the city was full of anxiety at this time.
After besieging the city for a few days, he saw that he was about to break through Liyang, but he didn't expect a Qin army to suddenly kill behind him.
Looking at the Qin army arrayed opposite, Cao Cao asked Xun Yu beside him: "Didn't Gongda say earlier that the Qin army would definitely not send troops to Hebei?" Why is it a sudden kill? ”
Looking at the Qin army who suddenly appeared behind him with Cao Cao, Xun You's brows were also tightly locked.
He expected that Hebei would not be pacified by Cao Cao, and Liu Wei categorically would not send troops to participate in the war, but he did not expect that before Yuan Tan was defeated, the Qin army had already been killed in the back.
"Presumably, King Qin already has the grasp of controlling Hebei!" Looking at the array of the Qin army, Xun You said to Cao Cao: "The Qin army is already approaching behind our army, Cao Gong should make a decision as soon as possible, how to withdraw from the Liyang battlefield!" ”
"What should I do with the meaning of the public?" Turning his head to look at Xun You, Cao Cao asked him a question.
"Our army is backed by Liyang, if Yuan Tan recognizes that it is the Qin army, he will definitely kill from behind!" Twisting his brows, Xun You thought for a while, and then said to Cao Cao: "Duke Cao can order the army to meet the Qin army, and a small number of soldiers and horses will be behind, once the Yuan army is killed, our army will advance to the Yuan army on the whole line." The number of Yuan's army is already small, and if our army is pressed on all fronts, it will be difficult for them to resist the enemy! At that time, Cao Gong could take advantage of the defeat of Yuan's army and lead the army to withdraw. Since the king of Qin sent soldiers and horses, what he wanted was Liyang. Our army withdraws, and the Qin army will not chase too much! ”
Xun You's words did not completely dispel Cao Cao's concerns.
After all, he had expected that the Qin army would not participate in the war in Hebei, and finally the Qin army came.
Just as Cao Cao was staring at the array of the Qin army, a military general walked out of the Qin army's large array.
The military general who walked out of the big array rode a northern yellow horse, holding a big knife in his hand, and when he was thirty or fifty steps away from Cao Jun, he restrained his war horse and shouted to Cao Cao: "Cao Apu! A certain person was ordered by the king of Qin to come to take Er's head, but he didn't come to die quickly? ”
It was none other than Yan Liang, one of the four court pillars in Hebei that year, who left the Qin Army's big array.
He carried a big knife and stood not far in front of Cao Jun's array, his eyes sweeping towards Cao Cao like a pair of sharp blades.
"Yan Liang is bold, I will meet you sometime!" Before Cao Cao could open his mouth, Cao Jun rushed out of a fast horse.
Cao Jiang on horseback carried a halberd and rushed straight towards Yan Liang.
This Cao Jiang's left eye was covered with a black veil, and the only remaining eye was shining, and before Yan Liang could get close, Yan Liang already felt a fierce murderous aura.
It was none other than Xiahoudun who rushed out of Cao Jun's array.
Yan Liang stationed his horse and scolded, and Xiahoudun, who was standing behind Cao Cao, was already on fire in his heart, and without waiting for Cao Cao's order, he rushed out without permission.
Seeing Xiahoudun rushing out, Cao Cao did not stop him.
He had seen Yan Liang's bravery, although Cao Cao didn't think that Xiahoudun could defeat him, he was not worried that Yan Liang would behead Xiahoudun under his horse.
Seeing Xiahoudun rushing over, Yan Liang shouted, "It's good!" He put his legs on the horse's belly and rode up to meet him.
The two war horses intersected, and Xiahoudun and Yan Liang each picked up their weapons and beckoned to each other's heads.
Seeing that the big knife was about to be cut down, Xiahoudun stepped sideways, and the blade was close to his body and slashed downward.
When he let this, the halberd in his hand was also deviated, and Yan Liang twisted his waist and avoided this halberd.
The two of them made a mistake with each other, and when they staggered by, they glared at each other fiercely.
After staggering, the war horse only took a dozen steps, and the two of them took the reins, turned the horse's head again, and launched a new charge towards each other.
The two of them rushed back and forth three or four times before they finally fought in one place.
Swords come and go, and every move beckons to the other party's vital point.
The rise of Xiahoudun and Yan Liang's killing, but Cao Cao, who was watching the battle, was in a cold sweat.
When Cao Cao raised his army, Xiahoudun was one of the first generals to follow him, and he was excellent in martial arts, and among the generals of Cao's army, he was also a fierce general.
If Xiahoudun was broken on the battlefield, for Cao Cao, it would undoubtedly break one of his arms.
Looking at Xiahoudun and Yan Liang who were fighting, before they knew it, Cao Cao was already sweating nervously.
