Three Kingdoms: The blind box draws Da Qiao at the beginning

Chapter 352 Yecheng is besieged

On the wall of Pucheng, Yuan Tan and other defenders also endured the fear of the boulders thrown by the Thunderbolt Chariot and looked towards the direction of the explosion.

They did not see the city gates being blown open.

However, they saw countless broken corpses scattered in the rain of blood.

Yuan Tan and others stopped breathing.

This is? !

Cao Cao was the first to come to his senses.

Looking at the city gate blown open by explosive charges, Cao Cao almost shouted at the top of his lungs: "Cavalry attacks the city!"

The cavalry on both sides suddenly poured into the city wall like a tide along the blasted city gate.

Without the defense of the city wall, how could Puyang City withstand the cavalry attack?

After the cavalry entered the city, they quickly swarmed toward the city wall.

The battle suddenly broke out on the city wall.

Cao Cao asked Pili Cha to stop attacking again.

The archers also followed into the city.

The battle ended quickly.

Not even half an hour.

Facing the attack of the Pili Chariot, the defenders of Puyang City could only passively take the beating.

Now that the city gate was blown open, facing the Wu army that was several times larger than theirs, more than half of the Puyang City defenders simply chose to surrender.

Yuan Tan was even killed directly by the generals around him.

His body was divided by the Wu soldiers who stormed the city wall and divided into six parts: head, limbs and torso.

After the army broke through the city, Lu Yi ordered to guard outside the city and prohibit disturbing the people.

After that, they stayed in Puyang City for three days and eliminated the remaining forces.

Lu Yi also collected Pang Tong's body himself.

Yuan Tan was killed and Puyang City was captured. Xun You made people go around to spread the word that Wu's army had committed no crimes in autumn.

Other cities in Yanzhou looked down one after another.

Lu Yi left Dong Xi and Chen Wu to lead two thousand troops each to take over Yanzhou, while he personally led the army to continue northward, eventually stationing in Baima.

Afterwards, Lu Yi personally wrote to Zhuge Liang in Julu and Lu Bu in Bingzhou, asking them to launch an encirclement and suppression campaign against Jizhou and cooperate with his actions.

Zhuge Liang led the Xuzhou Army and had been waiting for news about Lu Yi.

After receiving Lu Yi's letter, Zhuge Liang did not hesitate and immediately divided his army into three groups and attacked Yecheng at the same time.

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei all the way.

Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren all the way.

Tian Yu and Qian Zhao all the way.

The three armies almost swept across the entire east side of Jizhou with overwhelming force.

Lu Bu from Bingzhou also dispatched three armies.

These three armies are:

Lu Bu all the way.

Zhang Liao all the way.

Zhang He all the way.

The three armies are all cavalry.

Coupled with Zhuge Liang's Xuzhou Army, the Sixth Route Army was like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Seeing that both Zhuge Liang and Lu Bu were launching attacks, Lu Yi led his army northward, crossed the Yellow River, and headed straight for Liyang Port.

Yuan Shang originally thought that by uniting with Wuhuan, with the assistance of Wuhuan's 30,000 cavalry, he would be able to withstand Wu's attack.

Only then did he realize that he had thought too simply.

Wuhuan's 30,000 cavalry were transferred to the west of Jizhou to resist the three cavalry groups of Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Zhang He.

However, the Wuhuan cavalry, which is usually very brave, had almost no counterattack against the attacks of Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Zhang He.

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were both from Bingzhou. In their early years, they had been fighting with Wuhuan, Hu people, Xiongnu and other cavalry.

Facing the Wuhuan cavalry, both of them had rich combat experience.

In the early years, they were not afraid of Wuhuan and Hu people.

Now, with such a solid backing from Wu State, they are even more fearless. The two men and Zhang He gathered in Fangfang County, and the largest cavalry confrontation broke out with Wuhuan.

The battle lasted for three full hours.

Wuhuan's 30,000 cavalry were almost completely wiped out!

The remaining less than three thousand cavalrymen fled in panic.

Lu Bu ordered Zhang Liao and Zhang He to lead 30,000 cavalry and continue to pursue the Wuhuan deserters.

Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, this is what Lu Bu has learned from studying the art of war over the years.

Now that Wuhuan has sent 30,000 cavalry to assist Yuan Shang, the number of troops in Wuhuan's territory has definitely been greatly reduced.

In this case, all his efforts were accomplished in one battle, completely destroying Wuhuan and not giving Wuhuan any chance to breathe.

Zhang Liao and Zhang He selected dozens of Wuhuan people from Wuhuan's surrendered army, used both soft and hard tactics, and interrogated them separately to learn more about the terrain and weather of the Wuhuan territory before launching an all-out attack.

Lu Bu led the remaining five thousand cavalry to attack Yecheng.

Yuan Shang had already been beaten by Zhuge Liang and Lu Bu and was unable to resist at all.

Originally, he thought of stationing himself at Liyang Port.

Hearing the news that Lu Bu and Zhuge Liang were about to attack Yecheng, he could only lead his troops back to Yecheng in a hurry, leaving less than 5,000 troops and horses in Liyang Port.

Lu Yi's army captured Liyang Port with little effort.

Xiahou Dun was left to clean up the Liyang Port battlefield, and Lu Yi led the army to continue northward.

Two days later, Lu Yi led a large army to the south gate of Ye City.

Zhuge Liang and Lu Bu also led their armies to the east, west and north of Yecheng respectively.

The entire Yecheng became an isolated city.

After Lu Yi arrived, Zhuge Liang and Lu Bu led the civil and military officials to arrive and met Lu Yi.

Lu Yi met Zhuge Liang, Lu Bu and others outside the commander's tent.

Cao Cao, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ren, Tian Yu, Qianzhao, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu and others all saluted.

Jia Xu, Chen Gong, Xun You, Zhong Yao, Zhuge Liang and other civil servants gathered together, talking and laughing in low voices.

Lu Yi was about to lead everyone into the commander's tent, but he saw a soldier rushing towards him and said: "Report! The Sima family in Hanoi came with 50,000 dendrobium grains to reward them!"

Lu Yi looked at the soldiers and said, "Let them come over!"

The soldiers galloped away.

After a while, I saw a middle-aged man arriving with several high-spirited young people.

Surprisingly there are Sima Yi and Lu Xun.

Previously, Lu Xun was ordered by Pang Tong to send dead soldiers to drive a wedge between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang. After the success, Lu Xun did not go anywhere else and rushed directly to Hanoi County with other dead soldiers to quickly gather food and grass.

Lu Xun knew that there would be a big war in Jizhou soon and he would need sufficient food and grass.

Although the head of the Sima family, Sima Fang, has gone to Wuxian, Sima Fang's eldest son, Sima Lang, is still there.

Hearing that Lu Xun wanted to prepare food and fodder for Wu, Sima Lang agreed without saying a word.

As a wealthy family in Hanoi County, the Sima family has extremely strong family assets.

Now that the State of Wu has the power to dominate the world, they, as the last group of aristocratic families to join the State of Wu, supply food and grass. This is their last chance to show their determination to the State of Wu, and they will not miss it.

When preparing food and grass, they learned that Lu Yi had arrived in person with an army. Sima Lang and his five younger brothers personally escorted the food and grass there.

Sima Yi was also inside.

The previous assassinations of Qianzhao and Zhang Fei failed, which made Sima Yi very embarrassed.

Facing Lu Yi's personal interview this time, Sima Yi felt trembling.

What made him feel relieved was that Lu Yi did not pay too much attention to him, but still let him work under Zhuge Liang's banner.

Lu Yi and everyone listened to Lu Xun's report for a while, and learned some of the last things Pang Tong did before his death.

Although Pang Tong did not leave any words, everyone guessed what Pang Tong's wish was.

Why was he killed.

Lu Yi also looked a little sad.

This Pang Tong sacrificed his life in exchange for the opportunity for Wu Guo to take down Yuan Tan and Zhao Guo!
