Chapter 146
When Zhao Yun led the army back, Xia Houlan, Ma Chen, Feng Xi and the others had already cleared the battlefield. The Cao army captured a total of more than 3,000 people, and the Han army in the city, including Ma Chen and Feng Xi's personal soldiers, had less than 600 soldiers capable of fighting. The light wounds on both sides were about four or five hundred, and above the city head and under the city wall, dead bodies were already piled up, and in the moat, blood flowed, and some heads, arms, broken legs, intestines and other internal organs floated on the bloody water, all of which told people how cruel and tragic the battle was.
As the weather had become hot and the stench was pervasive, Ma Chen, Feng Xi, and Xia Houlan were directing the soldiers and Cao Jun's captives to bury the bodies to prevent the plague.
"General Zhao, thank you for showing up in time, otherwise the new city will not be safe!" Ma Chen came over and bowed to Zhao Yun.
Although it was the first time to see Zhao Yun, the name of the hero of Changsaka Slope was known by the entire people of Jingzhou, so Ma Chen respected Zhao Yun very much.
"It's all the hegemony of the lord, how to talk about the word thanks!" Zhao Yun also bowed his hand to Ma Chen.
"Why is General Zhao here? Have you ever met two generals, Wei Yan and Niu Jin?
"I came to reinforce Xincheng on the order of the Pang Junshi, and the two generals Wei Yan and Niu Jin are confronting Xiahou Yuan in Wei County!"
"Confrontation with Xia Houyuan in Hao County?" Ma Chen frowned, "Where is Xu Huang's army now?" Wancheng...
"General Ma doesn't have to worry, General Pang and General Liu Pan have already led five thousand soldiers and horses to Wancheng, and Xu Huang can't break it!"
"Oh..." Ma Chen let out a long breath, as if there were 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they could indeed be safe and sound.
Xu Huang paid a great price for several days of continuous assault on Wancheng, but the Han army in Wancheng also suffered heavy casualties. Just when Xu Huang felt that he was about to break the city, Pang Tong and Liu Pan came with 5,000 soldiers and horses.
Since Xu Huang used the siege of three and one of them, five thousand soldiers and horses entered the city smoothly.
In the handsome tent, Xu Huang and Liu Ye sat opposite each other.
"How did the combat power of the Han army become so strong?" Xu Huang looked very depressed.
Their strategy of attacking the east and the west was perfect, and they also successfully transferred Wei Yan's army out of Wancheng and were trapped by Xiahou Yuan in Wei County. He had thought that capturing Wancheng would be easy.
Unexpectedly, with only five thousand soldiers and horses, and in the absence of the main general, Wancheng's defense was so strong. Several times the soldiers who attacked the city had rushed to the head of the city, but they were forced down by the Han army.
"The Han army is strong, not only in soldiers, but also weapons!" Liu Ye's face was not only regret, but also worry.
"Yes, their knives look thin and narrow, but they are so sharp and hard, how the hell is they made of it?" Xu Huang picked up a Han knife, which was much lighter than the ring-headed knife and the chopping knife. But they did try, and this knife could cut the heavy chopping knife in two.
"General, although Wancheng has not been taken, but our plan remains unchanged, Pang Tong and Liu Pan have been transferred out, at this time Xinye is empty, Cao Chun, Zhang Hu and others can easily take it, but the cavalry is not good at defending the city, we still have to send a large army to reinforce." As long as we can hold Xinye, this city will be ours sooner or later.
"Okay, immediately give the order, let Lu Zhao lead five thousand soldiers and horses, and go to Xinye!"
"No!" The herald immediately went to give the order.
"Zi Yang is really strategizing, winning thousands of miles!" Xu Huang sincerely admired Liu Ye, these two times the tiger left the mountain with a succession of schemes, not to mention the phoenix and pangtong, even if it is Zhuge Liang, he will be led by the nose!
"The general is wrong!" Liu Ye arched his hand to Xu Huang, "Now we only need to use static brakes, Xincheng, Haoxian, Xinye, any place moves, and the Pang Tong of Wancheng will definitely move!"
"Okay, let's use static brakes!"
Shangcai County Lingfuzhong.
Fa Zheng, Deng Ai, Liu Hu, Liu Jun and others gathered together.
"Lord, we have occupied Shangcai for three days, and according to the plan, all the soldiers and horses should arrive at the designated place. And no matter how long the time here is, it will definitely attract Tian Yu's attention, and it is time for us to act.
"Okay, Deng Ai, immediately gather all the soldiers outside the gate of the county order mansion!"
"No!"
Soon, all the five thousand soldiers and horses were gathered outside the gate of the county commandery, and Liu Jun sat on the war horse, drew the sword at his waist, and raised it high.
"Soldiers, Cao Cao's army is in Nanyang at this time, and the rear is empty, and we have an army of 30,000, sending troops to Yingchuan, taking Yangzhai with a bang, and then smashing Xudu, eliminating traitors, rescuing Your Majesty, reviving the Han Dynasty, and returning the capital Luoyang!"
"Eliminate the traitors, rescue Your Majesty, restore the Han Dynasty, and return the capital Luoyang!" Deng Ai, Fa Zheng, Liu Hu and the other three shouted loudly.
"Eliminate the traitors, rescue Your Majesty, restore the Han Dynasty, and return the capital Luoyang!" Five thousand soldiers and horses shouted in unison, and the sound spread throughout Shangcai City.
"The army is going!"
With an order, the five-day Han army set out.
The county soldiers and government soldiers in Shangcai City, about seven or eight hundred people, were also wrapped in the army by Liu Jun, and they were mainly responsible for escorting grain and grass.
The direction of Liu Jun's march was Yangzhai in Yingchuan County, and their speed was not fast. However, the news of the march spread rapidly throughout Yuzhou like wings.
Ru Nan Taishou Tian Yu was leading his army to surround and suppress the remnants of the yellow turban bandits in Woniu Mountain, and suddenly received the news that the Han army appeared in Shangcai.
"Han Jun? How could there be a Han army here? "Tian Yu is a hundred people don't believe it, Nanyang Xu Huang and Xia Houyuan have a total of 60,000 troops, Yique Pass is a one-man blockade, ten thousand people can not open the dangerous pass, can the Han army fly over?"
But the scouts came to report one after another, making him half-believed. Qin, who followed the order of Shangcai County, reported that it was indeed 30,000 Han troops, and they captured Shangcai in three days, and now they are killing Xiangyang Zhai.
"What? Sha Xiangyang Zhai? "This time Tian Yu panicked, Yang Zhai does not have many soldiers and horses, once Yang Zhai passes, it is really a sword to Xu Du!"
If Xu Chang had an accident, it would be difficult for him to atone for his sins by dying in vain!
"Quick, herald the order, all the soldiers and horses in Runan, all the counties, immediately led by the county captain and the county commander personally, rush to Yangzhai!" Those who disobey the order are chopped! "
No!" Dozens of soldiers immediately went to the counties to give orders.
Tian Yu hurriedly wrote two more letters, and sent them to Cao Cao, the king of Wei in Yuzhou and Xudu.
"Pass the order to the whole army, immediately pull up the camp, throw away all the grain and grass, and rush to Yangzhai!"
"No!"
Tian Yu led a total of 1,000 soldiers and horses, and after several days of suppressing bandits, there were more than 800 people. The grain and grass, the tents, including some equipment used to attack the mountain, were too late to ask for, so they were all thrown away, and Xiangyang Zhai rushed to the aid of Xiangyang Zhai lightly.
This time it was cheap for those remnants of Woniu Mountain, who was already going to be wiped out, who knew that the officials and troops suddenly retreated, and left them so much food and grass, so that they could resurrect again.
