Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

The three generals Ma Chao, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu entered Jia County, but they did not come in alone. They also brought fifteen hundred elite infantry.

Knowing that Zhao Yun was fighting hard, and that the five generals who besieged Zhao Yun were all masters, the third general Ma Chao handed over the command to Qin Qian, and only brought nearly a hundred soldiers to support Zhao Yun.

After Qin Qian took over the command of the infantry from Ma Chao and other generals, he immediately attacked the south gate tower again.

Before, he had cavalry under his command, dismounted and fought on foot without a shield, so it was difficult for him to resist the bows and arrows of the Wei army. In the end, he had to be forced to retreat by Cao Wenzhao. Now that he has [-] elite swords and shield soldiers, he naturally cannot let Cao Wen go. Zhao continued to occupy the commanding heights.

Qin Qian's reaction speed was not slow, but it was a pity that Cao Wenzhao was very fast. Before Qin Qiangong went up the tower, he brought in dozens of catapults and a large amount of kerosene.

"put."

Following Cao Wenzhao's order, a large amount of kerosene poured down from the city tower, instantly turning the gate of the south gate into a sea of ​​flames, and temporarily isolated the Qin army inside and outside the city.

Seeing this scene, Qin Qian, who was in the middle of the rush, couldn't help cursing: "His grandma's Cao Wenzhao, besides setting fire, doesn't he know other tricks?"

Qin Qian didn't care about continuing to attack the tower, and immediately ordered people to use sand to put out the fire first. After all, the Wei army in the city had more troops.

Ever since Cao Wenzhao met the Qin Army during the day, he was worried that there would be an internal response from the Qin Army in the city, so he set up a lot of refusal horses at the street entrance four gates away to prevent the Wei Army from being killed in case the Qin Army's iron cavalry entered the city. There is no way to fight back.

When Yuan Huan rebelled, opened the city gate, and let the Qin army enter the city, Cao Wenzhao immediately mobilized troops and horses, using defensive equipment such as rejecting horses, supplemented by spear formations, knife formations and other formations, and blocked them layer by layer. The Qin army who entered the city was firmly blocked in Nancheng District.

Now that the Qin army's iron cavalry offensive has encountered a mistake, it has been unable to break through the southern city for a long time, but the back road has been blocked. Under internal and external difficulties, morale is hard not to be affected.

Therefore, Qin Qian's decision to put out the fire first cannot be said to be wrong, but it is a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution.

First of all, the act of extinguishing the fire restrained nearly a thousand troops of the Qin army and weakened the Qin army's offensive in the city.

Secondly, if Cao Wenzhao on the city tower is not resolved, the Wei army will continue to pour kerosene, and the fire at the city gate will not be extinguished at all.

Qin Qian obviously didn't expect this, but just as he organized his people to put out the fire, the Wei army on the tower began to use catapults, heading towards the Qin army in the south city from top to bottom.

Dozens of catapults fired stone bombs continuously, and occasionally threw a barrel or two of kerosene bombs. The Qin army screamed again and again, and the offensive became weaker.

Seeing that the army entering the city was suppressed by the Wei army at high altitude, and the casualties increased rapidly, Qin Qian also realized that if Cao Wenzhao did not deal with it first, even if the fire at the city gate was extinguished, it would be re-ignited by Cao Wenzhao.

Immediately, 500 people were left to continue to put out the fire, while Qin Qian was carrying thousands of swords and shield soldiers to attack the tower for the third time.

Cao Wenzhao knew that Qin Qian would definitely come to attack the tower, so he arranged nearly a thousand archers around the steps in advance, and as soon as the Qin army appeared, they would immediately shoot and kill.

This move was fine against dismounted infantry, but against Qin soldiers holding swords and shields and laying down shield formations, it was not that much of a threat.

Seeing that Qin Qian was approaching step by step with a log under the rain of arrows, and when he was about to attack the tower again, Cao Wenzhao repeated his old tricks and calmly ordered the soldiers to rush up the stairs to dump fire oil.

"But general, there is not enough fire oil. If you use it here, once the fire at the gate of the city is extinguished, there will be no fire oil to isolate the Qin army inside and outside the city."

"Don't be afraid, the general has already sent people to continue to transport the oil."

Cao Wenzhao said pretending to be relaxed, but he was extremely dignified in his heart. After all, the fire oil reserves in Jiaxian County are limited.

Dozens of barrels of kerosene were poured down. Seeing this, Qin Qian's face immediately changed, and he ordered an emergency retreat.

As a rocket fell, another large area of ​​fire formed, and dozens of Qin soldiers who had no time to withdraw were instantly burned into burning men, screaming horribly until they fell into the sea of ​​flames.

Qin Qian had already guarded against Cao Wenzhao's ability to use fire this time, so before he stormed the tower, he asked the soldiers to prepare sandbags in advance, so he asked the soldiers to block the steps with sandbags to prevent the fire from spreading, and then let the soldiers continue to attack the tower. Dump the sand to extinguish the fire.

On the city tower, Cao Wenzhao saw that the fire was under control by Qin Qian, but the kerosene around him had been used up, and the spare kerosene had not yet arrived, and he did not care about attacking the Qin army below the city, so he immediately ordered the catapult array to turn around direction, ready to attack Qin Qian's troops.

However, due to the distance between the two sides, changing positions requires re-moving the catapult, and the need to calculate the distance, both of which are extremely troublesome.

When Qin Qian directed the fire fighting, he was also paying attention to the movement on the city tower. Seeing that the position of the catapult had changed, he immediately realized that Cao Wenzhao was going to use the catapult to deal with him. .

Facing Cao Wenzhao's crossbow array, fire array, and catapult array, even if Qin Qian could capture the tower, his men would suffer heavy casualties.

But if the commanding heights cannot be won, the Qin army will always be under the suppression of the Wei army, and the casualties may be even greater.

Therefore, no matter how much sacrifice he made, Qin Qian must first get rid of Cao Wenzhao.

When Qin Qian and Cao Wenzhao were fighting wits and courage, the fire at the gate of the city was about to be extinguished by the Qin army, but at this moment, the Wei army brought in a large amount of kerosene.

"Haha, God is helping me, continue pouring kerosene at the gate of the city."

Cao Wenzhao laughed and gave the order, but before the order could be passed on, stones and bullets washed the ground on the tower, but the attack came from outside the city.

It turned out that when Zhao Yun, Qin Qian, Ma Chao and others were about to enter the city to fight, Qin Liangyu who stayed outside the city was not idle.

Qin Liangyu saw her husband Zhao Yun and the three thousand Qin Tieqi who had already entered the city, but still failed to capture Jiaxian County. She immediately realized that there must be a master in the city, and her husband was fiercely resisted by the Wei army. , That's why it was too late to capture Jia County, so he immediately mobilized the catapult troops to support the Qin army inside the city outside the city.

Seeing that not only the city was full of flames in Jiaxian County, but also the fire on the south gate tower, Qin Liangyu thought about it for a while, and decisively decided to attack the position close to the fire source, because there must be Wei Jun there.

Thousands of stone bombs washed the ground, although it caused a lot of trouble for the Wei army, but due to the darkness and lack of accuracy, it did not kill too many Wei troops, but it destroyed the newly transported kerosene bucket.

Immediately afterwards, after a soldier holding a torch was hit to death by a stone bullet, the torch fell to the ground to ignite the kerosene, and then detonated the oil barrel.

Boom, boom, boom.
On the tower of the south gate, explosions sounded one after another, engulfing a large area of ​​the south gate in an instant. Hundreds of Wei soldiers were either killed by the blast or burned to death.

Seeing that the place where the kerosene was placed turned into a sea of ​​flames, Cao Wenzhao's face was full of disbelief, and he murmured, "It's over, it's over."

The accumulated kerosene has been completely ignited, and the next batch of kerosene will not arrive until half an hour later, but the fire at the city gate will be extinguished immediately, and Qin Qian's troops will soon attack the city tower, everything is already beyond recovery up.

Cao Wenzhao never expected that even Yu Hualong and his son hadn't been defeated yet, but he couldn't stand it anymore.

At this moment, Yu Hualong let out a mournful and stern roar because of the death of his three sons, and the sound actually reached Cao Wenzhao.

After Cao Wenzhao heard about it, he knew that Yu Hualong and his son were probably more fierce, and if Yu Hualong and his son didn't stop Zhao Yun, Jia County would definitely fall.

Now that things have come to this point, it is impossible for Jia County to hold on, and it is just a sacrifice in vain if he continues to stay.

Before Qin Qian extinguished the ladder fire, Cao Wenzhao made a decisive decision and decided to abandon the city and flee, returning to Yangdi.

But before leaving, he had to burn the grain depot and all the ordnance to prevent these materials from falling into the hands of Daqin and being used by the Qin army against the Wei army.

Qin Qian finally extinguished the fire and rushed to the tower, but there was no shadow of Cao Wenzhao on the tower except the fire, charred corpses, and the burned catapult.

Naturally, Qin Qian would not be so naive. If he couldn't see Cao Wenzhao's body, he thought he was burned to death by fire or stone bullets. Most likely he retreated early because he saw the situation was not good.

"Chasing, we must never let Cao Wenzhao go."

Qin Qian gritted his teeth and ordered, but before chasing him, he had to send a signal to Qin Liangyu outside the city to stop firing stone bombs, otherwise there would be no reason to hit his own people.

After Cao Wenzhao fled back to the city, he immediately sent people to burn the grain depot and material depot. When he fled to the east gate, there were less than [-] soldiers left around him.

As for the remaining [-] troops, they were all restrained by the Qin army at the south gate, and they could not withdraw completely.

Once Cao Wenzhao ordered a retreat, it would definitely cause a complete defeat. It would be better to let them stay at the south gate and continue to consume the Qin army.

Boom, boom.
Fires broke out in grain depots, armory and other warehouses.

Seeing this, Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but feel certain, and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, preparing to retreat, but at this moment Yu Hualong retreated alone.

"General Yu."

When Cao Wenzhao saw Yu Hualong, he was naturally overjoyed. He was about to step forward to ask him, but Yu Hualong didn't even look at him, but said coldly, "Open the city gate."

"Uh, this"

Cao Wenzhao showed embarrassment on his face, but he did not disobey Yu Hualong. After all, his five sons died in a row. It is normal to be in a bad mood, so he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.

Yu Hualong immediately rode his horse and prepared to go out, but the feeling came again on a whim. He knew that his youngest son Yu De might have died in battle, so he looked at the burning Nancheng with grief, and roared to the sky: "De'er, no! .”

[Ding dong, Yu De died in battle, the combo skill 'Flesh and Flesh Connection' effect 2 is activated, the basic force is permanently +1, and the force is +7.

Currently: Yu Hualong's basic force has increased to 106 (+1), and his force has increased to 134;]

[Ding dong, Zhao Yun beheaded Yu Da Yude, Xu Chu beheaded Yu Guang, Ma Chao beheaded Yu Xian, Dian Wei beheaded Yu Zhao, and they all formed a feud with Yu Hualong to kill their sons, and they will never die. The task is completed.

Anyone among the four including Zhao Yun, as long as they can kill Yu Hualong, or Yu Hualong can kill any one of the four, they will be rewarded: skill enhancement;]

In one night, five sons died, and a good family was gone.

Yu Hualong couldn't cry anymore, he rushed out of the east gate full of anger and resentment without looking back.

"Hey, General Yu"

Seeing this, Cao Wenzhao wanted to stop him, but he was afraid of being angered by Yu Hualong, so he could only let him go, and then retreated with two thousand troops.

When Cao Wenzhao fled to the east for 3000 miles, a Qin army suddenly appeared in front of him. There were more than [-] people, and the leader was Hua Mulan.

Cao Wenzhao didn't want to fight Hua Mulan, but wanted to break through and escape, but at this moment, another [-] cavalry came after him, led by Qin Liangyu.

Qin Liangyu and Hua Mulan teamed up to attack back and forth, not only wiped out the two thousand Wei troops who escaped from Jia County, but also captured Cao Wei general Cao Wenzhao alive.

So far, the 7000 defenders in Jiaxian County have been wiped out, and nearly 8000 of them died in battle. [-] people including the general Cao Wenzhao were captured. Only Yu Hualong escaped without a trace, and the Qin army also suffered [-] casualties. More than five hundred people, including more than a thousand cavalry.

After Zhao Yun captured Jia County, he immediately ordered the army to put out the fire, calm the people, strictly guard the prisoners of war, and immediately reported victory to Yinghao.

The next day, as soon as the genius came out, Ying Hao received two great news.

The first one is naturally the news that Zhao Yun and other four tigers beheaded the five gods of pox and captured Jia County.

The second is that after Ji Ling failed to swindle Jia County, he continued eastward with Jiang Jiong, and with the cooperation of Huang Zhong, he repeated the same trick and swindled the two cities of Gaoting and Juntai one after another.

Since the Qin army broke through Yangyin City, after only two passes, the Qin army broke through the three cities of Jiaxian, Gaoting, and Juntai.

So far, the defense line in the west of Yingchuan has been completely broken by the Qin army, and there is no longer any place to defend to the west of Yangzhai City.

Next, the Qin army can attack Yangdi directly and look at Xuchang in the distance.
