Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 613: Ma Chao Battle

In Le'an, Wen Chou ignored the advice of his advisers and repeatedly went out of the city to fight the main force of Cao's army in order to defeat Cao's army as soon as possible so that he could return to Pingyuan County. The Xiliang Army's [-] reinforcements were in Pingyuan County, which was in Jizhou. In the eyes of the generals, it is absolutely impenetrable. Where the Xiliang army is present, it seems that there is only victory.

At the beginning, Cao Ren showed no support, and under Wen Chou's offensive, there were signs of retreating steadily, so that in the first three days, once he saw the Jizhou army leaving the city, he ordered the soldiers to be on strict guard, so that Wen Chou's heart gradually relaxed down.

In the pitch-black night, you can't see your fingers, and the big tent of the Chinese army is still brightly lit. Cao Ren kept looking at the letter in his hand and studied it back and forth no less than ten times, but he still couldn't come to a conclusion. He was not like the Xiliang army. That way, with the internal support in the city, once there is a change, Cao Ren's loss of troops will be small, and it will be very bad for Cao Cao's plan to capture Qingzhou to be destroyed.

"General, can this person be trusted?" the counselor asked.

Cao Ren nodded and shook his head slightly. He wasn't sure if this was a trap set against Cao Jun. Once he made a rash move, the consequences would be very serious.

In the end, Cao Ren made up his mind. As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and the Xiliang army can sneak attack on the city under heavy forces, so why not Cao Jun.

The Liu family can be regarded as a powerful family in Qingzhou. Two of the children in the family are officials in the government, and one is a general in the army. Their status is prominent. After being attacked by Cao Jun, the strength of his Liu family has long been stronger.

"Patriarch, do we really want to help Cao Jun take Le'an Kingdom?" A middle-aged man asked uncertainly, his eyes full of puzzlement. It is said that with the strength of the Liu family in the city, it is Cao Jun who entered the city. After that, at most, they were treated like this. I don't understand what the Patriarch thinks.

"Well, you have to think more about what you do, Cao Jun or Jizhou Army, which one is stronger?" An old man with gray hair asked. [

"Of course it is the Cao army. Every time the Cao army and the Jizhou army fight, the Jizhou army cannot beat the opponent." The middle-aged man replied.

"That's right. After joining Cao's army, we are in the hinterland of Cao's army. We don't have to worry about the enemies who attack at any time. Opening the city gate to welcome Cao's army in will also make the Liu family's status in the city higher in the future than it is now. It's not certain that those boys in the family can enter the officialdom again, Cao Cao's attitude towards others is much better than Yuan Shao's."

"Having said that, I heard that Yuan Shao has invited reinforcements. It is the Xiliang Army who is assisting the Jizhou Army in Pingyuan County to defend the city. In a short time, I am afraid that Cao's Army will not be able to achieve anything."

"It doesn't matter, if Le'an is lost, the Jizhou army will be shaken, and it will be easier for Cao's army to capture Pingyuan County. After breaking this deadlock, our Liu family will get more benefits."

"The head of the family is wise."

The Liu family has been in Qingzhou for many years. After repeated wars, they have understood more clearly what is the most important thing in troubled times, that is, the military power in their hands, without strength in their hands. Being able to be beaten continuously, after Patriarch Liu understood this, he was an honest businessman on the surface, but secretly trained a lot of private soldiers, in case they could be used in case of changes in the future, but this time, Assist Cao Ren in obtaining Le'an, and the role of private soldiers will be maximized.

After some operations, the generals of the Liu family were also transferred to guard the city gate to facilitate the actions of the Liu family. At this time, Wen Chou was sleeping soundly in the camp, without the slightest feeling that a storm was coming.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, the two are generals in Yuan Shao's mouth, and their status is prominent, but in the eyes of Xiliang Army and Cao Jun, they are not that important. With a passion, can such a person win on the battlefield? I am afraid that the opponent can set up a trick and capture him.

Master Liu led the soldiers to open the city gate quietly, stood on the top of the city and waved the prepared torches a few times, then hurriedly walked down the city wall. In the dark night, the bright torches were naturally eye-catching. It is hard to guarantee that there are no capable people in the Jizhou Army. Once they find out, the strength of the Liu family will definitely be compromised. This is the last thing the head of the Liu family wants to see.

Cao Ren showed a look of excitement on his face. When he was fighting with the Xiliang army, he had to be careful not to open the city gate quietly at any time. Now that he has experienced it for himself, this feeling is really good and makes people feel happy. Feel refreshed.

Two thousand cavalry took the lead in attacking the city, and under the guidance of Patriarch Liu, charged towards the camp. As long as the general's soldiers were calmed down, the entire Le'an Kingdom would be in the hands of Cao Jun.

The soldiers of the Jizhou army who were sleeping were awakened by the sound of rumbling iron hooves, and panicked. Many of them even ran out of the camp without clothes on. Many people just let go of their feet and fled elsewhere.

There was great chaos in the army, and Wen Chou was also woken up by the lieutenant general. After walking out of the camp and seeing such changes, he was furious. He wanted to pick up a long knife and fight Cao Jun to the death, but was stopped by the lieutenant general. The current situation is obviously that Cao Jun has the upper hand , The Jizhou army was in chaos, there was no difference between rushing up and dying, even if your martial arts were high, killing ten or eight would not have any impact on the overall battle situation.

"Then what to do, there are still nearly [-] soldiers in the city." Wen Chou said sadly. He didn't expect Cao Jun to enter the city secretly. If the lieutenant general reminded him, he might be caught.

"General, we won't have to worry about firewood if we keep the green hills. Let's go back to Pingyuan County for the time being. There is the Lord's army there. As long as Pingyuan County is guarded, it will not be difficult to resist Cao's army." The lieutenant advised. [

His face changed for a long time, Wen Chou let out a long sigh, patted his horse and rushed to the direction of the city gate. When Wen Chou escaped from the city, there were only dozens of soldiers following him. In this battle, the Jizhou Army directly lost nearly 1000 soldiers. Among them, there are more than [-] cavalry, and Wen Chou is not willing to use them at ordinary times, all of which are cheaper for Cao Jun.

The harvest was very rich, and Cao Ren was very happy. It seems that the surprise attack on the city gate was really profitable. No wonder when the Xiliang army attacked Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass, the first thing they did was to seize control of the city gate. This is the reason, it seems that in the future, I will suggest to the lord that a special team should be formed in the army to attack the city gate.

His professional level is much lower than that of the Xiliang Army. Cao Ren also understands this. The Xiliang Army was able to capture Luoyang under his heavy guard, and the Xiliang Army did it quietly. Soldiers appeared in the city, which directly led to Cao Jun's defeat. Until now, Cao Ren still can't figure out where these soldiers came from. The men in black who came out of Xianlian Pavilion can explain how the soldiers who captured the city gate came from. thing.

Cao Jun captured Le'an State, captured more than 1 enemies, more than 1000 horses, and the news of the amount of food and supplies made Cao Cao's heart go wild. All along, the generals he valued most were Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan. Unexpectedly, Xia Houyuan He was killed by the Xiliang army, and now Cao Ren captured Le'an country in the first battle, which can be said to be bloodless, which greatly boosted the morale of the army.

The Liu family of Le Anguo gained a lot of benefits because of this wise move. The reward alone made the head of the Liu family very excited, and some children in the family were also sent to other counties as officials. , the status of the Liu family in the city has become even higher.

Gao Lan paced back and forth in the tent with a gloomy expression. Wen Chou was restraining Cao Jun in Le'an Kingdom, and he was able to calmly deal with Cao Jun. There were more than 2 defenders in the city, and it was difficult for Cao Jun to bargain for a while. The loss of Le'an Kingdom means that for many years, the efforts of the Jizhou Army in Qingzhou have been in vain. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have fought for so long in Qingzhou, not for the land, but this time because of Wen Chou's mistakes, It directly caused Yuan Shao's strength in Qingzhou to be reduced by more than half.

"General Gao, I"

Gao Lan waved his hand and said: "There is no need to mention this matter again, now the most important thing is to protect Pingyuan County."

Although Wen Chou felt a little displeased, he still endured it. In the past, Gao Lan would not have dared to do this, otherwise Wen Chou would have passed with a slap. Now that he is a defeated general, he can only swallow this breath temporarily.

"There are [-] soldiers of the Xiliang Army in the city, but these soldiers are very cunning. They just move supplies on the city, shoot arrows occasionally, and don't do their best at all." Gao Lan said with a slight frown.

Wen Chou said angrily: "The Xiliang army is really treacherous, but my lord gave up the entire Zhuo County to the Xiliang army."

"I'll go find them." Wen Chou did what he said, leaving Gao Lan behind, and went to the Xiliang army.

Gao Lan watched Wen Chou leave in astonishment. He had long wanted to find out about the Xiliang Army, but this was a critical period of the war, and he couldn't offend the Xiliang Army because of a trivial matter. It's completely dangerous.

In any case, as long as the Xiliang army is in the city, they will be grasshoppers on the same rope as the Jizhou army, and they will not do anything too outrageous. After all, after the city is breached, they will also be unlucky.

The leader of the army is Ma Chao of the Xiliang Army. Wen Chou was a little displeased when he saw Ma Chao at first sight. The main reason was that Ma Chao was too young. It was hard to believe that this young general was in command of the Xiliang Army. .

"General Wen?" Ma Chao clasped his fists slightly.

Wen Chou said: "That's right. I wonder if the King of Liang had any entrustment before the general came to Qingzhou?"

"Assist the Jizhou Army in defending the Le'an Kingdom." Ma Chao said lightly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. Ma Chao was indeed not interested in helping other princes, and the [-] soldiers under him could not make any mistakes. Otherwise, there is no way to explain after returning to Chang'an.
