Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 706 The Fall of Taiyuan

_up;

Just when the Han army was concentrating their forces to fill up the moat outside the east city, Zhao Yun had led [-] troops to lie in ambush in a forest one mile away from the west gate, waiting patiently for the west gate to open. Confidence, even more confidence in the Eagle Strike Army, he knows very well that the powerful combat effectiveness of the [-] Eagle Strike Army is no less than that of the [-] Army.

The time passed little by little, and there was still half an hour before the second watch. Zhao Yun turned his head and shouted in a low voice: "Send the order, don't slack off, and be ready to attack at any time."

In the Nan'an Hotel in the southwest corner of Taiyuan City, three hundred soldiers of the Eagle Strike Army had put on their full armor. Each of them had a spear, a sword, a pair of crossbow arrows and a round shield. More than a dozen soldiers were still carrying long ropes. , the soldiers were full of energy and lined up into six rows. Wu Ban said to everyone: "General Zhao Yun is already waiting outside the city. Our mission is to seize the west gate. We must be fast, ruthless, and clean. No mercy is allowed." Heart, do not neglect the military order, those who disobey the order will be executed!"

"Follow the order!" The soldier shouted in a low voice, his voice neat and powerful.

At this time, Zhang Qu hurried over and said, "General Wu, the patrolling soldiers on the street have passed."

Wu Ban nodded and waved his hand, "Let's go!"

Three hundred elite soldiers of the Eagle Strike Army rushed out quickly. Their costumes were exactly the same as those of Cao Jun. They were neatly organized and moved quickly and powerfully.Click!Click! 'Footsteps.

Just as they were approaching the west city, more than [-] soldiers of Cao Jun who had changed their guards came down from the city. They were all exhausted, stretched, yawned, and came to meet them.

"Whose subordinates are you?" asked the leader of the army.

Wu Ban sneered, and a word came out between his teeth, "Kill!"

The three hundred Eagle Strikers raised their crossbows and shot together, and the arrows were dense and powerful. More than [-] Cao Jun soldiers screamed and fell to the ground. The defenders, more than a dozen people leaned on the female wall and looked down. Due to the darkness of the night, they couldn't see the situation below clearly, but they felt a little confused, and an officer asked loudly: "What's going on down there? "

Wu Ban agreed: "It's nothing, a brother stumbled and fell down."

He gave the army Zhang Jin a wink, and said in a low voice: "I'll open the city gate, you bring two hundred brothers and prepare to rush into the Urn City!"

Wu Ban led a hundred people and walked quickly to the top of the city. As he walked, he shouted loudly: "I am here to take over the city gate under the order of the king's governor, and you all evacuate!"

Dozens of soldiers in the city were stunned. The army was in charge of General Qian, and when the Inspector Wang asked, but this army was all armored by Cao Jun. They didn't react for a while, Wu Ban strode up to the top of the city, With a loud shout, "Do it!"

He raised his knife and fell, hacking the chief officer to death on the top of the city. His subordinates rushed forward and quickly surrounded more than [-] soldiers of Cao Jun. Before they could react, more than [-] people were stabbed to death by random spears.

A few soldiers ran to pull the hinge of the city gate, and the city gate below slowly opened. The two hundred soldiers of the Eagle Strike Army who had been waiting under the city for a long time, led by Marquis Zhang Jin, rushed into the urn city and ran towards the outer city gate. .

At this moment, the Jing bell on the inner city suddenly rang. The sound was piercing and loud, echoing in the night sky. When Wu Ban turned his head, he found that a Cao soldier had escaped unharmed and rang the Jing bell. Wu Ban was furious and threw away the spear in his hand. The spear pierced the Cao soldier's chest and nailed him to the ground.

But the sound of the alarm alarmed the defenders of the east city. Some soldiers hurriedly reported to Zhuanzhao, who was stunned for a moment. He suddenly realized that the Han army was attacking the west and filling the moat in the east to attract the defense of the defenders. His real target was Xicheng.

Qianzhao suddenly remembered the spy of the Han army that he hadn't caught. He stomped his feet anxiously and ordered: "Come with me. He got on his horse and led nearly two thousand soldiers to the west gate."

There are more than [-] defenders in the west city, and most of them are concentrated in the outer city. At this time, there is no need for a bell. The soldiers in the outer city have already been violently attacked by the Eagle Strike Army.

On the corridor of the upper city, 150 soldiers of the Eagle Strike Army held shields and spears and fought fiercely with the Cao Army. The corridor was very narrow and less than one foot wide. The killing was retreating steadily, and the corpses were piled up in the corridor.

Twenty Eagle Strike Army soldiers were dismounting their horses and shooting arrows. The arrows were so precise that when one shot an arrow, one soldier would fall to the ground. In just a moment, six or seventy people were hit by arrows, scaring the rest of Cao's soldiers to retreat. , Seeing that the enemy was about to attack the city, more than half of the more than 70 Cao soldiers were killed or injured.

The soldiers of Cao Jun on the top of the city fled in all directions, but the Eagle Strikers of the Han Army occupied the top of the city, opened the city gate, lowered the suspension bridge, and held up the torches as a signal.

Zhao Yun saw the torches on the top of the city from a distance, and was overjoyed immediately. He got on his horse and shouted loudly: "Brothers, go to the city!"

"Kill!"

Ten thousand soldiers of the Han army launched an attack, screaming, and rushed towards the city. In a short while, they rushed to the bottom of the city. Zhao Yun took the lead and rushed into the city gate.

At this time, the army led by Qianzhao was rushing over, and there were still more than two hundred steps away from the west city. He stopped his horse and stared dumbfounded at the surging Han army entering the west city. He knew that Taiyuan had fallen, so it depended on whether he could escape from Beicheng.

........

From the arrival of the Han army in Taiyuan at dusk, to the capture of Taiyuan at two o'clock, it took less than four hours before and after. At this time, Yedu had just been confirmed, and the beacon fire came from the direction of Taiyuan.

Cao Pi restlessly paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. He was extremely anxious. The beacon fire warning from Taiyuan must be the Han army attacking Bingzhou. What should he do at this time?Father mobilized 25 troops to gather in the Central Plains, and there were [-] troops in Guanzhong. In addition, [-] troops were deployed in Youzhou and Liaodong, while only [-] troops were guarding Yedu and Hebei.

Is he going to lead the [-] troops to save Taiyuan?Not to mention that he has no right to mobilize the army, even if he can mobilize the army, what will happen to Yedu if he transfers the army to Taiyuan?

Cao Pi was disturbed, and stopped and looked at the roof and sighed. At this time, a soldier reported, "Xin Changshi is asking to see him outside the mansion!"

Xin Changshi is the counselor Xin Pi, and the official is the prime minister. Cao Cao ordered him to assist Cao Pi. He is one of Cao Pi's most trusted confidants and Cao Pi's right-hand man. He comes in!"

Not long after, Xin Pi walked quickly into the inner hall, Xin Pi came here for the Taiyuan matter, the reason why he was so concerned about it was because his brother Xin Ping was an official in Taiyuan, and he was really worried about his brother's safety.

"See the eldest son!" Simpi bowed and saluted.

Cao Pi quickly waved his hands and said, "Chang Shi, please sit down!"

Simpi sat down and said, "Your eldest son, do you know about the Taiyuan beacon fire?"

"How could I not know!"

Cao Pi sighed and said, "Now I'm upset and don't know what to do. Please teach me Chang Shi."

"It's very simple. The eldest son should send troops immediately and order General Xu Huang to lead 2 people to rescue Taiyuan."

"But" Cao Pi hesitated and said, "I don't have the right to mobilize troops, has Chang Shi forgotten?"

"I know, but you have the prime minister's gold medal, you can use the gold medal to send troops to Taiyuan."

Cao Pi was in a bit of a dilemma. Before he left, his father gave him a gold medal. This was an emergency troop dispatch order to prevent the recurrence of the Fuwan Rebellion. It was only limited to Yedu. Now the accident happened in Taiyuan. Is it okay to send troops without authorization while reporting to your father?

Xinpi knew what Cao Pi was in trouble for, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, don't worry, Bingzhou already belongs to the hinterland of the Central Plains. For Yedu, it is even more important than Guanzhong. If Bingzhou is not protected, there is only one Taihang Mountain between Yedu and Taiyuan. , the Han army can come at any time, if we are forced to move the capital, Hebei will not be guaranteed, so Taiyuan's strategic position is extremely important, if the son insists on waiting for the prime minister's order, once the opportunity is delayed, it will cause serious consequences, and it will have a huge impact on the son's status , no less than the Yuan Clan Remnant Rebellion last time."

Cao Pi's heart was in a mess, and his mind went blank. After a while, he bit his lip and said, "Let me think about it again."

"My lord, stop thinking about it!"

Simpi got up suddenly, glared at Cao Pi and said sharply: "Now is the time to test your decision. It has been half an hour since the beacon fire warning, and you still can't make up your mind. Doesn't it seem that you are indecisive, and you have to transfer troops sooner or later, why not?" If we deploy troops now, even if we can't save Taiyuan, it will at least show the young master's determination, so that the prime minister will not blame the young master for being slow in rescue."

"Okay!" Cao Pi was finally persuaded by Simpi. He took out the gold medal, put on a robe and said, "Let's go to the military camp now!"

Cao Pi and Simpi walked out of the mansion, got on their horses, and under the guard of hundreds of soldiers, they rushed towards the barracks outside the city. After a while, they rushed to the gate of the barracks. The officers came out of the camp to greet them.

"See the eldest son for a humble position!"

Cao Pi and Xu Huang marched to the north of Liaodong together, forged a deep friendship, and also won Xu Huang's support for him. Wan Jingrui rushed to Taiyuan and left now without any delay."

Xu Huang was stunned. To transfer his troops to Bingzhou, he must have a tiger talisman, and gold medals alone are not enough. Gold medals are only limited to the deployment of troops in Yedu.

However, Xu Huang also knew that there was an accident in Taiyuan, and the situation was critical. He looked at the prime minister's gold medal in Cao Pi's hand, bowed his head in thought for a moment, and said resolutely, "I obey the order!"

Xu Huang turned his head and said to the lieutenant general Zang Ba: "I personally led [-] troops to Taiyuan, you can lead the army to stay in Yedu and follow the orders of the eldest son."

"The end will obey orders!"

Xu Huang quickly walked back to the camp, and quickly handed over the military power to Zang Ba. Half an hour later, Xu Huang led [-] elite Cao troops to leave Yedu overnight, marching all the way north, and marched rapidly towards Jingxing, Taihang Mountain.

It was the second watch of the night, and Cao Pi and Xu Huang didn't know that at this time, the Han army had already invaded Taiyuan City.
