Chapter 339
Chapter 330 Six Seizing the City

The next day!

The cavalry sent information, and Cao Cao did not show any sign of going west, but continued to go north.

Zhu Jun even bolder led his troops out of the city to pursue Shanyang County, leaving hundreds of lightly and seriously wounded soldiers and private soldiers from various families to guard the county.

As soon as Zhu Jun left, Cao Cao sent troops to the county town, but he came here quietly and arranged for his troops to go out of the city to hide last night, thus avoiding the eyes and ears of Zhang Ji's cavalry sent to support Zhu Jun.

Under Hukou Pass, at the camp of the Han army, a light and agile figure quickly entered Liu Xiezai's tent.

"Your Majesty! Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army has taken the gut board and blocked Yuan Shang's escape route." Ma Ling, who has traveled thousands of miles a day, hurried forward, and said respectfully.

Liu Xiexi said: "Get up! This trip has been exhausting for you. Take a break and walk once to inform Zhang Yan that there has been a change in the east of the river. There is a fear that the army of Jizhou will join forces to attack him. If you can't stop it, you can retreat. I am here today. Let's attack the city and take this pass in a few days."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I'm leaving now. I'm resting on the way." Ma Ling bowed immediately when he heard that he had a mission, and then withdrew, disappearing in the Han camp soon.

Liu Xie got up and wanted to call him back, but seeing Ma Ling walking fast, he had no choice but to say: "Come on! Pass on my military order, beat the drums and gather the generals to attack the city!"

The drums were thundering, and after a while Xu Rong, Guan Sheng and other generals all came over. This siege had been discussed a long time ago. Liu Xie only needed to allocate troops and horses one by one, and the whole army assembled and drove out of the camp in order.

After several days of loess piles, the earth platform built is getting higher and higher, and the situation of the city gate can be seen more clearly, and more information about the enemy can be learned, so that the command and dispatch can be used to know the defensive weaknesses of the city gate.

Liu Xie doesn't know and is good at this kind of hard siege, so he can rest assured that Xu Rong will take full responsibility as the commander. He, Xu Shu and others are waiting for the news.

The news continued to come back, indicating that the attack was going well, and the defense in the city was not strong. After an hour of siege, cheers suddenly came from the front, and then someone came to report:

"Report to Your Majesty! Colonel Guan Sheng climbed up the city wall, our army rushed in, and the city gate was wide open. At this time, Hukou Pass was occupied by our army. General Xu Rong was leading his army to clean up the enemy army. Yuan Jun fled the city without Yuan Shang And Fengji's trace."

"Oh! It's so fast to attack, Yuan Shang lost the city too fast." Liu Xie was a little confused, looked at Xu Shu, Xu Shu said:
"Your Majesty! Perhaps the two had intended to retreat a long time ago. Zhang Yan blocked the way back, and Yang Chou had no hope of disrupting our army's rear. They are dying in the pass city, and sooner or later our army will break through. It should be the time to attack. Just run away."

Liu Xie suddenly lost interest, leaned on the chair and smiled: "So! We scared Yuan Shang and Feng Ji too hard yesterday. If we knew it earlier, we wouldn't pretend to be aggressive. Now we don't know what happened to the battle at Tiaojingguan. .”

Xu Shu also laughed, and replied: "Considering the time, the news from Tianjingguan should be delivered in the afternoon."

Liu Xie nodded, then stood up, moved his body and said: "Go! Let's go to the city too, tell Xu Rong and Guan Sheng not to catch Yuan Shang and Feng Ji, and release them if they catch them. As many generals as you can kill and capture, that's all."

"Your Majesty wants Yuan Shang and Feng Ji to go back, continue to fight for power with Yuan Qin, and consume the internal strength of the Yuan family." Xu Shu immediately understood the reason.

Liu Xie replied: "Yes! Killing or capturing Yuan Shang and Feng Ji will not do anything to us. It is the right way for them to go back and make Yuan Shao entangled. We have captured Shangdang and Hanoi. We are in Taiyuan County, Yuan Shao's Jizhou It is the undefended sheepfold in front of us, when there are too many soldiers and horses, we can go there and grab one, Yuan Shao is no longer a big threat."

The most important thing is that Liu Xie didn't say that after Yuan Shao killed Gongsun Zan, he thought that the north was stable, but in fact there was a bigger shock waiting for him. It is estimated that he would not be able to stabilize the north in his life, so he would naturally be unable to go south and westward.

So now Liu Xie's No. [-] enemy is the various BOSS legions that broke through the level, and the second is Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun. As for the others, they are just scum that can be killed in a single wave.

The Han army captured Hukou Pass and repaired it. After the garrison, a part of the army moved northward to support Jia Xu and Xu Huang in the northern part of the Shangdang.

While chasing Yuan Shang's defeated troops.

Talking about Hanoi!

Cao Jun took a detour to Hanoi County City. In order to capture the city more legitimately, he first let a group of troops disguised as Jizhou soldiers and horses raid the city.

There were not many defenders, and they were really caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the pseudo Jizhou soldiers and horses. In the future, they would have to do too much to resist, and the city would be captured.

As soon as the city was broken, the puppet Jizhou Army took over the city, and within a moment, Cao Jun under the banner of Cao Zi appeared outside the city.

"Yuan Shao of Jizhou, the wolf ambition dare to invade Hanoi, seize the city and kill the people, it is really abominable, attack me...!"

"kill!"

A group of Cao Jun broke out with a loud noise, and the vigorous siege began. The shouts of killing inside and outside the city shook the sky, but the arrows of both sides shot at no man's land. enter.

The puppet Jizhou army cried out for Cao Cao's arrival, hurried back to Jizhou, and slipped out through the north gate in a hurry.

Just after leaving the city gate, I saw an army coming from the northwest, the wind and dust rolled up the loess all over the sky, and the flag of Zhang Zijiang, which was big, smashed the flag of Peking University and fluttered in the wind.

"This is...!" The general who took the lead in fleeing paused, a little surprised: "Is there any cavalry from our army?"

"No! I heard that there is a cavalry called Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that is still training in Dongjun. My lord is not willing to use it."

That will realize that it's not good and hurriedly said: "No! This is the cavalry of the imperial court, Xiliang iron cavalry, let's go back to the city and tell the lord..."

The general's confidants said: "But the lord let us go out of the city, we are flying the flag of Jizhou at this time, and we are going back to the city..."

"Hey! Brainless! If you go back to the city, you will be captured by the lord. If we don't go back to the city, if the Xiliang cavalry rushes over, it will be bad if they enter the city."

The general didn't say much, and returned to the north gate with people. People who didn't know saw it and thought they were going to kill Cao Jun and take back the city.

The puppet Jizhou army entered the city, closed the north gate immediately, and quickly passed the news to Cao Cao.

"The cavalry from Xiliang is here! Aren't the thousand cavalry that Zhang Ji supported Zhu Jun near Nanyang City? Why did they go to the northwest of the county?" Cao Cao pinched his beard and his eyes widened.

Xi Zhicai said: "My lord! It must not be Zhang Ji's men, it may be Zhang Xiu's cavalry, Yang Chou attacked Tianjing Pass, Zhang Xiu was ordered to reinforce, it should be Yang Chou who was defeated and killed, and Zhang Xiu came back to pick up and defend the city."

"It should be so. Zhu Junnai is a famous veteran. He has never revealed anything about his formation. Even if he pursues the enemy, he will definitely arrange for people to defend the city. It's just that we took a coincidence and entered the city first. Otherwise, it would be a missed opportunity if we missed it by an hour." Cao Cao laughed and said:
"Come on! Take over the north gate immediately, if Zhang Xiu attacks, he must block it out of the city."

"promise!"

out of town!

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Come in for me!" Seeing that the city gate was about to be closed, Zhang Xiu shouted anxiously, but he led the cavalry one step too late, rushed to the bottom of the city, the city gate was closed, and before entering the city, possible.

He had no choice but to rein in the reins and shout towards the gate of the city: "I am Zhang Xiu, Colonel of Pobei University. I am ordered to take over the city by the order of the general who rides a chariot, and I have not opened the gate quickly."

In fact, Zhang Xiu wanted to go to Shanyang County, but he received an order from Zhu Jun in Yongcheng on the way, and then came to the county town, and then when he was about to arrive at the county town, he received a report from the official. Only then did he realize that the county town was in danger. .

"Listen, people in the city, stay five miles away from the city, or you will be treated like a bandit. Don't blame our army for offending."

After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, the city replied, and then countless black-clothed soldiers appeared at the top of the city, with the Cao character flag fighting big, and a group of generals planted the flag on the city to swear their sovereignty.

"This is……!"

Cao Zishuai flag?

Does Zhu Jun have any generals surnamed Cao?
Is there a general named Cao in our army?
General Yuan Shaozhi of Jizhou was another bandit.

Looking at the neatly embroidered pennant on the city, Zhang Xiu shook his head and denied it.
