The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 156 The Battle of Yiyang

If Wancheng does not move, it will shake the world.Long Fei issued a notice, which described the situation of Cao Jun's attack on Wancheng.At the same time, it also shows that the government's military food is insufficient. If the common people have affluent food, the government can temporarily borrow it, and it will be doubled in the next year's harvest.The people of Wancheng naturally know about Cao Jun these days, and they don't want to go through that kind of life of wandering and wandering without enough food and clothing.The rich contributed money, and the powerful contributed. In just one day, the Wancheng Yamen received [-] dans of grain and rice voluntarily donated by the people, as well as countless items such as cloth and horse grass.

Looking at the pile of grain and grass, Xun Yu didn't know what to say. With an excited face, he stood at the door of the warehouse and bowed to the people who came to deliver the grain.Long Fei personally issued IOUs to every commoner, and someone jokingly asked: "General, this battle must be won, and when you return triumphantly, we will all go to the gate of the city to greet you!"

Long Fei nodded: "We will definitely win! Cao Cao has only tens of thousands of troops, and we have 10,000+ people in Wancheng. As long as we share the same hatred, Cao Cao will not be afraid!"

This word spread in Wancheng. Although the war was imminent, there was no panic, and the people were still living their own lives. The prediction of this war became their talk after dinner.Speaking of the war, the soldiers are the most nervous, and it is completely unknown how many people will come back after the battle.But they didn't flinch. As the saying goes, it is a good thing to raise soldiers for a thousand days. In the past two years, I have lived a good life in Wancheng, and my family has been well taken care of. How can I not come forward when Wancheng is in trouble.

After the army and horses had assembled, Wancheng Yamen was discussing how to fight Cao Jun.Zhao Yun suggested that the troops be divided into battles, so that Cao's army could be kept out of Wancheng and the losses of Wancheng could be reduced.Jia Xu disagreed. Jia Xu thought that his side was short of troops, and if he divided his troops, he would never be sure of winning. Besides, Liu Biao and Liu Pi were not fuel-efficient lights. Shen will fall into a situation surrounded on three sides.

Long Fei didn't speak, and listened to them speak one by one.Guo Jia shook the feather fan lightly: "Why don't you ask the Lord's opinion, didn't the Lord say a few days ago that he has a plan to defeat the enemy?"

"Hahaha..." Long Fei laughed loudly: "Feng Xiao, Feng Xiao, you understand why you bother to ask me!"

Guo Jia chuckled and did not answer.Long Fei shook his head and smiled wryly. He understood that Guo Jia gave him the opportunity to establish his image in front of everyone.He cleared his throat and stood up from the cushion: "Pass me the military order!"

Everyone got up quickly.Long Fei looked around: "Where is Zhang Xiu!"

Zhang Xiu hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists. This was his first battle after coming to Wancheng, so he must gain some strength and let others see that he is not just for nothing!Long Fei nodded: "I'll give you [-] soldiers and horses to go to Yiyang day and night. You must occupy Yiyang before Xia Houyuan arrives. There must be no mistakes!"

"Leader!"

Zhang Xiu turned around and left, Long Fei was a little bit Wenpin.Although I didn't get the first place, the second place is not bad.Long Fei said: "I'll give you [-] soldiers and horses, rush to Mount Lu immediately, block Cao Cao together with Hua Xiong, and don't let Cao Cao advance half a step within five days!"

Wenpin was shocked.Lushan only had 2 soldiers from Huaxiong, and if he brought another [-], he would only have [-]. It is a bit difficult for [-] people to block [-].What's more, there is another urgent problem, Hua Xiong is an old man under Long Fei's subordinate, if something happens, how should he deal with it, this is a big problem.Wenpin didn't speak, but Long Fei yelled again.Then Wen Pin hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "General, this matter is very important. If I disagree with General Hua Xiong, who should I listen to?"

Jia Xu nodded.This Wenpin really has the talent of a general, and the most taboo thing to do when marching and fighting is to order many sects, so it is easy to cause chaos, and it is easy to cause internal instability and internal fighting.Long Fei smiled: "How do you think you compare with Hua Xiong?"

This question is difficult to answer, if Hua Xiong is strong, it will show that he has no level, and if he is strong, those old people who follow Long Fei will feel uncomfortable.Wenpin hesitated for a long time: "General Hua is brave, and I am good at planning. Together, the two of them can be Cao Jun for ten days!"

"Okay!" Long Fei shouted loudly: "Then I will order you to be the chief general and lead Hua Xiong to garrison Lushan to resist Cao's army for ten days! If there is any mistake, come and see me!"

"No!" Wenpin turned and went out without any hesitation.

The next thing is much easier.The soldiers and horses in Anzhong and Anle did not move to guard against Liu Biao and Liu Pi's invasion. At the same time, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Pan Zhang were ordered to lead the navy to patrol the Fei River in case the Jingzhou navy took the opportunity to attack.Mi Fang was left behind to guard the courtiers at Jiaxia, and the rest of the people and the army horses all attacked, aiming at Yiyang.

Yiyang is located in the shallow and hilly area of ​​western Henan, with three mountains, six tombs and one sub-river.It was originally a county of Luoyang, but because of Dong Zhuo's death, this place has long been abandoned.Long Fei also lived here in the past.To the east of Yiyang is Songshan Mountain, and to the south is Xuanyuan Mountain.Xia Houyuan detoured to Xingyang and headed south along the west foot of Songshan Mountain. He had inquired clearly that Longfei had no garrison here.

Cao Cao's dispatch of troops this time was not done on whim.After Lv Bu made troubles in Dongjun, Cao Cao knew that Long Fei was the troublemaker, and when he heard that Long Fei had gone to the south of the Yangtze River, he immediately had the intention of marching into Wancheng.But Dongjun had just suffered a disaster and it was difficult to accumulate strength, so Cao Cao had to suppress the desire in his heart and endure it for the time being.Later, news of Dong Chengzhi's chaos spread to Dongjun. Cao Cao thought the time was right and couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately summoned troops to prepare for a fatal attack on Long Fei.

Xia Houyuan suggested that Cao Cao divide his troops into two groups. Even if Long Fei wanted to resist, he would not be able to figure out which route was the main force. In this way, Long Fei could be defeated one by one.Cao Cao accepted Xia Houyuan's suggestion, and with the assistance of Cheng Yu and others, he came up with this trick that seemed to divide the army, but was actually vicious.Xia Houyuan naturally understood that he was the main force in this way. Cao Cao used the army and himself as bait to let Xia Houyuan quickly kill Wancheng and completely destroy Long Fei's confidence psychologically.

"Report to General! Yiyang City has been occupied by Long Fei's army, do you want to attack by force!"

While Xia Houyuan was thinking, the messenger suddenly came to report.Xia Houyuan immediately frowned, Long Fei was so fast that he even sent someone to occupy Yiyang before himself, and now he can only fight.Xia Houyuan sat up straight at once: "Order the former army to attack immediately, and take Yiyang before it has a firm foothold!"

Zhang Xiu didn't rest all day and night, and finally entered Yiyang City before Xia Houyuan.He didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately ordered people to plant the banners they brought all over the city of Yiyang, hoping to slow down Cao Jun's pace.As soon as he sat down and poured water into his mouth, he heard the people on the top of the city shouting loudly: "General! Cao's army is attacking the city!"

Zhang Xiu threw away the kettle and went to the city with his spear.All the soldiers cheered up and rushed to the top of the city without shouting tiredness.Sure enough, it was Cao Jun, densely packed and boundless, carrying all kinds of siege equipment and rushing towards this side.Zhang Ji waved his spear: "Brothers, don't be afraid! Just hold on for a while and the lord will arrive. Don't let them enter the city!"

Cao Jun's posture was fierce from the very beginning, and many people had already climbed to the top of the wall. Zhang Xiu hurriedly swept those people down with a single shot, and loudly reminded his subordinates to pay attention.Fortunately, Cao Jun also drove for a long time. After Zhang Ji blocked three waves of attacks, Cao Jun slowly retreated.It wasn't that Xia Houyuan didn't want to take Yiyang, but he saw the dust outside Yiyang city, so he knew that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived.

Zhang Xiu was happy when he won the first battle. Looking at the dead and wounded soldiers on the city wall, Zhang Xiu said loudly: "Brothers, this battle was fought very well. Although we were injured, we blocked Cao's army." , if Cao Jun breaks through Wancheng, the people will suffer, do you want to watch Wancheng suffer?"

"I don't want to!" Everyone shouted in unison, and many stood up vigorously: "Even if they die, they can't let them go to Wancheng!"

Long Fei patted Zhang Xiu's shoulder: "You are so brave, General! It's a great achievement to capture Yiyang in one day and one night! There will be a lot of rewards when you go back!"

Zhang Xiu shook his head slightly: "General, there is no need for rewards. I just hope that the general will allow me to lead an army to fight against the enemy, fulfill my dream and avenge me! Today I understand that war is not just about killing but about protecting!"

Xia Houyuan had already faintly felt the danger of this dispatch when he missed a blow.The scouts have found out that there are about [-] troops in Yiyang City, with Long Fei's flag. In addition, Zhao Yun, Jia Xu and others are all gathered here, which should be the main force of Wancheng.Xia Houyuan frowned, so it seemed that Long Fei did not divide his troops to fight according to their plan, but gathered his troops to defeat them one by one.Xia Houyuan sneered, if that's the case, then let's make a noise.But how to defend with only [-] soldiers and horses in his hands is a big problem.

Hastily opened the map, Long Fei first found Yiyang on it, and then looked north: "This is Songshan Mountain, with high mountains and dense forests. If Xia Houyuan breaks into pieces and enters Songshan Mountain, we will be helpless. We don't have a long time to do our best." It's a quick fight, the longer it drags on, the more dangerous Lushan will be!"

"It's not necessary to break it up into parts. The biggest possibility is to rely on favorable terrain to deal with us! There are many mountains and forests here, and soldiers can be hidden everywhere, and it is not conducive to cavalry fighting with large troops. If I were Xia Houyuan, I would definitely divide my troops to harass and make a big army chicken." Don't panic, he restrained us here and couldn't move." Li Ru said.

Long Fei raised his head and looked around: "Wen He, Feng Xiao, what can you two do?"

Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at each other and shook their heads.Xu Shu looked at the map and said: "If there is a surprise attack on Xingyang, Xia Houyuan will definitely lose his position. Once Xingyang loses his retreat and the supply road is cut off, he will naturally retreat!"

"No! What we are talking about now is not to force him to retreat, but to eliminate him here, and let Cao Cao remember that Wancheng is not easy to mess with!" Long Fei slammed his fist on the table: "Let Xia Houyuan fight! Book, the decisive battle tomorrow!"

When Xia Houyuan saw Long Fei's letter of battle, a smile appeared on his face instead: "Okay! It seems that Long Fei is really in a hurry, so I immediately sent someone to inform my elder brother that Long Fei was stabilized in Yiyang by me, so that he can attack Lushan without worry." yes!"
