Xiliang Iron Cavalry

"Well, pass on the order to let the soldiers stick to the city and wait for the lord's reinforcements. As long as the reinforcements arrive, the Xiliang army will not be afraid. Don't forget, we are also an invincible army." Xia Houdun shouted.

The young and strong people in the city were conscripted by Xia Houdun to defend the Xiliang army. However, these poor people did not have any training at all. They went up to the city wall and didn't know how to defend. Seeing the boulder thrown up by the Xiliang army, there were heavy casualties. Under such circumstances, Xia Houdun would not care about the lives of the people, and kept recruiting the people.

In the middle of the night, Xia Houdun summoned more than a thousand defenders in the city, abandoned the city and left, and all the wounded soldiers stayed in the city.

To be able to resist the Xiliang army in Yuanwu for three days has already done his best, and Cao Cao has sent a letter asking him to go to Jiyin to guard.

Xia Houdun had some complaints about not being able to return to Dongjun and cooperate with Cao Zhen to resist the Xiliang army, but he had just lost Hanoi County, and his counselors also died in the war. There was no bargaining condition, so he could only obey unconditionally.

The Xiliang army was in full swing, and Cao Cao also began to dispatch troops. Soldiers stationed in various places moved closer to Dongjun. The number of defenders in Dongjun reached 3. Cao Zhen's army numbered no more than 4, and the two sides were evenly matched. In order to defend the city, Cao Zhen even divided the defenders in the city into 1 people to station outside the city, forming a corner with the city.

Jia Rong was very satisfied with the movement of Yanzhou. In the majestic palace, Jia Rong was discussing with a group of counselors about attacking Yuzhou. Within Jia Rong's care range, if Yuzhou and Nanyang County can be captured in one fell swoop, the Xiliang Army will have an absolute advantage when fighting against Cao Cao, not only in terms of strength, but also in numbers.

In the era of cold weapons, war consumes population. A team can be pulled out at any time to fight the enemy, and the level of recovery ability determines the situation of the war.

This is also the reason why the strength of a vassal state is measured first by the number of people under its rule during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Yu Dan rushed back to Yuzhou overnight, and began to discuss with Guo Da about joining the Xiliang Army. This matter must be done carefully, and no rumors should be leaked, otherwise Cao Cao will notice a little rumor, and all previous efforts will be wasted. Cao Cao treats his generals , has always been very trustworthy, which has also caused many generals in Yuzhou to be very loyal to Cao Cao. At this time, as long as Cao Cao gives an order, there are definitely not a few generals who obey him.

The Xiliang army captured Hanoi County and sent troops to Dongjun County. While Cao Cao was flustered, Yu Dan felt relieved. To put it more simply, the current Yu Dan would rather be a small county magistrate in Liangguo than a sheriff under the rule of Cao Jun. Even a strong general like Xia Houdun was defeated by the Xiliang army within half a day. The Yellow Turban Army led by Guo Da did not have enough confidence.

While Guo Da shocked the Xiliang army's attack speed, he began to secretly dispatch troops and manage Yuzhou for many years. Although Cao Cao was among them, under Yu Shan's planning, he was confident that he would send the entire Yuzhou to Xiliang Army.

The defenders everywhere are basically his people, as long as there is an order, the banner on the city will definitely belong to the Xiliang Army's sword Daliang Banner.

Zhao Yun secretly dispatched two thousand troops, assisted by Lu Bu, and also Wang Yue to explore the way ahead. This kind of lineup is unprecedentedly strong. Even if there are [-] enemy troops, Zhao Yun is confident that they will be defeated. The main reason is that one thousand of the two thousand cavalry It is composed of lone wolf soldiers, and it is not a problem to fight ten against one on the battlefield.

Wang Yue, as the way forward of the army, naturally fulfilled his duties and exerted his ability to assassinate and espionate information to the extreme. Even if a fly appeared on the road ahead, it could be quickly sent to the rear.

First of all, in Yingchuan County, when two thousand Xiliang troops appeared at the base of the city, it did cause panic among the people in the city, but under the appeasement of the general, the Xiliang army took over smoothly. As for the officials in the city, they were all ordered by Guo Da. secretly seized.

Zhang Bang Anmin, what Zhao Yun did was easy to do. This former general of the Liang Kingdom felt for the first time that the war was so smooth without any loss. How comfortable it was to capture a huge county.

Thinking about how difficult it was to capture a county in those days, it was difficult to win if all the weapons were used and the attacks were kept day and night.

More powerful than explosives, it is probably majesty, the majesty from the Liang country.

The soldiers who surrendered without fighting, the Xiliang army ruled the world, Jia Rong treated the people kindly, and finally got the fruits of victory they deserved.

The people and businessmen in Yingchuan have not even reacted. A series of policies from Liangguo have been issued. Looking at the orderly and chilling soldiers on the street, the people feel very comfortable and have no resistance. How many years have passed? The prestige of the Liang army has long been known to everyone, and paper can never contain fire, and various deeds related to Xiliang army Jia Rong have already spread throughout the world.

After Yingchuan, Chen Guo and other Yuzhou rulers threw themselves into the arms of the Xiliang Army. All of this was done secretly. After occupying Yuzhou, the Xiliang Army increased its strength by more than 5 troops, all of whom were well-trained soldiers. , as the main general joins the Xiliang army, their whereabouts will naturally be decided.

The whole Yuzhou was occupied in an orderly manner. Jia Rong laughed heartily, thinking that Cao Cao attacked Yuzhou back then, but he paid a lot of money, and finally got Guo Da to take refuge in him. After so many years of development in Yuzhou, the people can call it Living and working in peace and contentment means that the economic conditions are not good. Under the impact of the Xiliang Bank, the entire Cao Jun rule was very bleak. If Cao Cao's strong man hadn't cut his wrist and sold the resources, I am afraid that Cao Jun's rule would be even more bleak.

Guo Da eradicated dissidents, and secretly imprisoned all the generals and officials loyal to Cao Jun, waiting for Liang Guo's final decision.

A hundred secrets were sparse, and naturally some generals loyal to Cao Cao were not discovered, and the news of Yuzhou's surrender to the Xiliang Army was spread.

But at this time, the Xiliang army had already approached the city of Nanyang County. In addition to the reinforcements sent by Jia Rong again, there were 8 people, and they surrounded Nanyang County with three floors.

Cao Cao can't describe his mood in words now. Before, his counselors persuaded Guo Da to be careful in Yuzhou, and he praised Guo Da swearingly. He thought that Guo Da could defend Yuzhou well and resist the Xiliang army. Behind the scenes, the flag of Cao Jun in Yuzhou was replaced with the flag of Liang State. The huge gap between the front and the back made Cao Cao dizzy and fell ill in bed.

The doctor who heard the news rushed to treat him, and then he was sure that he was angry, and he would get better after a short rest.

Seeing that Cao Cao was fine, the counselors were relieved. If Yuzhou was lost, it would be lost. If Cao Cao was ill because of this, Cao Jun would be in complete danger.

Some counselors secretly wondered if there were spies from the Xiliang Army in Yanzhou. This kind of thing would deal a fatal blow anytime and anywhere. After recovering from his illness, Cao Cao also became more suspicious. He secretly organized people to investigate officials from various places. Once he found any wrong officials, he would be arrested immediately. There is something wrong.

At this time, Cao Cao would rather kill by mistake than let him go. The loss of Yuzhou hit him hard, and he even changed a group of generals, officials and generals in the army.

When Guo Da did not rebel in Yuzhou, Yanzhou did not have a defense line for Yuzhou. Now Yuzhou belongs to Liang State, and all defenses need to be rearranged. The equipment of soldiers and horses, as well as the guarding of generals, all need Cao Cao's approval.

In Nanyang County, Li Dian yelled at Guo Da, and hurriedly strengthened the city defense. When Cao Jun attacked Jingzhou before, he filled up the moat outside Nanyang County. The army attacked day and night, and the city wall was full of potholes. , is still visible.

"Sir, now that the Xiliang army is under the city, is there a good strategy?" Li Dian turned his attention to Tian Chou. Wan, the Xiliang army guarding against Jingzhou and Sili, who knows that in a blink of an eye, the impenetrable Nanyang County has become an isolated city. It is absolutely impossible to ask for help from Liu Bei's army, and Yuzhou has already belonged to Liangguo. Getting closer to Cao Jun.

"General, there are now [-] Xiliang troops outside the city, and only [-] defenders in the city. Even if all the young and strong help to defend the city, it will be difficult to preserve it. My lord sent a letter earlier saying that the Xiliang army has a powerful weapon." Being able to open the city gate directly is impossible to defend against, and Hanoi County is so lost." Tian Chou said slowly, frowning, originally he wanted to say that Nanyang County is a dead end, but he swallowed the words again.

"Sir, don't you have a good plan?" Cao Chun asked unwillingly.

"General, the grain and grass in Nanyang County have always been provided by Yuzhou. Even the hoarded grain and grass materials are only enough for one month. You can win Nanyang County without fighting." Tian Chou continued.

Li Dian and Cao Chun let out a long sigh, not knowing what to think. The originally good situation was completely broken because of Guo Da's rebellion. It can be said that Cao Jun's efforts over the past few years have all been wiped out, and Nanyang County, which was finally captured with great difficulty, has also become nothing. The things in the Xiliang army's pocket, even if they give up Nanyang County, they will have nowhere to escape. Yuzhou belongs to Liangguo, and the front is Jingzhou. After leaving the city, it will only speed up the speed of destruction.

"Notify the lord of this matter as soon as possible, dispatch fast horses, divide into dozens, each carry the same information, tell the lord all about the situation in Nanyang, and wait quietly for the lord to make a decision." Tian Chou sighed.
