Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 480 Maocheng Ambush!

Cao Cao personally led an army of [-], marched out from the white horse, and attacked Jizhou.

Cao Jun dispatched two vanguards this time.

On one side was the Battalion of Eight Thousand Dragon Riders led by Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan; on the other side was the Battalion of Ten Thousand Wolf Riders led by Lu Lingqi, Hao Zhao, and Gan Ning.

The Dragon Riding Battalion went all the way north, and the front of the soldiers pointed directly at Wei County.After they wiped out the enemies in the eastern part of Wei County, they began to prepare to intercept Yuan Shang's army returning from Qinghe.

The wolf cavalry battalion went straight up from the west road, preparing to capture Maocheng guarded by Yin Kai and cut off the food road leading to Shangdang.

After taking Maocheng, they will also defend the city, preparing to intercept the reinforcements from Bingzhou.

Youzhou is still some distance away from Wei Commandery, and it is hard to say whether Yuan Xi will send troops to help Yuan Shang, so Cao Cao, the reinforcement of Youzhou, will not consider it for the time being.

Cao Cao, Lu Yan and others, led a main force of [-], marched lightly to capture Yecheng.

With the benefit of Baigou to transport grain, and the army of Cao Ren and Zhang Yan to protect the grain roads, in fact, the pressure of Cao Jun's supplies is not as great as Yuan Tan imagined.

In just a few days, the main force of Cao's army had arrived under Yecheng.

Fengji and Shenpei stood on top of Yecheng, looking at the gradually erected Cao Jun camp in the distance.

Feng Ji asked the interrogator, and said: "I don't know how the battle is going on, my lord. Now that Cao Cao is besieging the city, we are under a lot of pressure!"

The judge replied: "Our army has been strengthening the city wall since last year, widening the moat, and hoarding enough food and grass for an army of [-] for more than a year. The city is nothing more than a fool's dream."

Seeing that the commissioner was full of confidence, Feng Ji felt at ease.

To tell the truth, he and Guo Tu were just talking about it at most, and if they were to lead the army to fight with real swords and guns, they still had to rely on the big man in front of them.

When Cao Cao was building the camp, he led a cavalry team of 500 people to Yecheng [-] paces away to spy on Yecheng.

Yecheng in the binoculars, the part of the city wall that was bombed and repaired, seemed out of place with the surroundings.

"emmmm" Cao Cao put away his binoculars and said to Lu Yan beside him: "There are a lot more turrets and arrow towers on the city wall. Sure enough, the city defenses of Yecheng have been strengthened again. I regret giving up Yecheng now."

"There is no regret drug sale in this world, and Yecheng is not invincible, so what are you afraid of?"

Seeing Lu Yan's confident look, Cao Cao said, "Why don't you command the siege this time?"

"Impossible!" Lu Yan glanced at Cao Cao in disgust, and said, "When your side is almost stable, I have to go north to support my wife."

"." Lu Yan wanted to leave.
Cao Cao suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he quickly persuaded: "Don't, you are our card. If you are not here, the morale of the soldiers will drop a lot.

Otherwise, you can put on your golden lacquer armor and stand in front of the formation when you are attacking the city. As long as the soldiers know you are there, their morale will definitely be high! "

The corners of Lu Yan's eyes twitched, and he said, "Do you think I'm your mascot?"

"Yecheng is even more important. As long as Yecheng is broken, Yuan Shang and Bingzhou's reinforcements will retreat without a fight."

Cao Cao is right.After thinking for a while, Lu Yan replied: "In this case, let's break through Yecheng as soon as possible."

"Haha! Good!" Cao Cao clapped his hands and laughed, and said, "It's getting late today. After we rest for a day, we will start attacking the city tomorrow!"

"However, before officially attacking the city, I still want to test the reality of Yecheng."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he rode forward.

Lu Yan and others followed closely behind, until they reached a distance of 130 steps outside Yecheng.

Seeing that Cao Cao still wanted to go forward, Xu Chu immediately came to Cao Cao and said, "My lord, you can't get any closer. If Yuan Jun has a sharpshooter, 120 steps is enough to kill someone!"

After hearing Xu Chu's words, Lu Yan smiled in his heart: "Old Huang can shoot other people's dog's head in 150 steps."

When Cao Cao heard this, he reined in his horse and stopped.

He squinted his eyes, staring at the vaguely visible figures of Fengji and Shenpei on the city wall, and shouted loudly: "Shenzhengnan! I will attack Yuan Shang under the order of the emperor. If you can open the city and surrender, I can I plead for you in front of the Son of Heaven, let me spare you!"

After hearing this, the judge immediately cursed at the city, resolutely not surrendering.

Cao Cao was humiliated and made himself feel bored. He smiled contemptuously and said to Lu Yan: "Stubborn, it's useless to keep such a guy."

But she said that Lu Lingqi and her party went straight to Maocheng.

Walking ten miles outside Maocheng, I can finally see the outline of Maocheng from a distance.

Maocheng is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is a large forest outside the city. The mountains rise from the depths of the forest, winding and winding with no end in sight.

Lu Lingqi frowned slightly, and said: "I didn't expect the terrain of Maocheng to be so complicated. There is only one road in the east that can lead to the army. It is really a dangerous pass that is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

At this time, Zhao Xue, the guard commander beside Lu Lingqi, suddenly said:
"General, there are forests on the left and right sides of the road ahead.

If it were me, if I knew that there was an enemy army coming, I would definitely ambush an army here.

Just wait for the enemy army to rush out of it and cut off the rear."

Lu Lingqi nodded, and replied: "At that time, the army in the city came out together, under the attack from two sides, our army will definitely be defeated!"

Zhao Xue has been in the shadows for many years, and has never seen any conspiracy.

Now that she is by Lu Lingqi's side, she not only serves as Lu Lingqi's personal bodyguard, but also happens to be Lu Lingqi's dog-headed military advisor.
"Xiaoxue, do you have a way to break the enemy's ambush?" Lu Lingqi asked Zhao Xue.

Zhao Xueqing's cold face showed a dignified look.

In the past, only a few people did things by themselves, and even if the decision failed, there was a high chance of getting out.

But now, her strategy will be related to the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people, Zhao Xue suddenly felt an invisible pressure on her heart, and she couldn't help being careless.

After more than ten breaths, Zhao Xue finally said: "General, I think we can be divided into two armies, front and rear.

The front army is used as a bait to lure the enemy's ambush to appear; the rear army waits for the enemy's ambush to appear, and immediately joins the front army to attack the ambush back and forth.In this way, the enemy army can be broken! "

Lu Lingqi was about to ask something more, when Hao Zhao suddenly asked, "But how should the front and rear armies be divided? You must know that if the front army is too small, the enemy will see through it. If the rear army is too small, it may not be possible to break through. The enemy's interception. At that time, the enemy will hit the superior force and wipe out the front army first." Although Hao Zhao didn't finish his words, he already understood what he meant.

"Rear army, I, Gan Xingba, have [-] cavalry!"

Gan Ning naturally wanted to support his woman, so he took on this arduous task alone.

Lu Lingqi and Hao Zhao had no doubts about Gan Ning's bravery, and it was no child's play to be able to march and fight.

Out of concern for Gan Ning, Zhao Xue asked, "Is 800 people too small?"

Gan Ning stared into Zhao Xue's eyes, smiled and said, "Trust me."

After Zhao Xue stared deeply at Gan Ning, she nodded slightly and said nothing.

"Then it's settled!" Seeing Gan Ning's confidence, Lu Lingqi also said decisively, "Give me the general's order, and the whole army will rest for an hour before marching into Maocheng!"

Lu Lingqi looked at Gan Ning again, and said: "Xingba, the success or failure of our army depends on you!"

Gan Ning took off the bell on his body, put it in Zhao Xue's hand, and said to Lu Lingqi: "If you can't break through the enemy army, I, Gan Ning, come and see you!"
