The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 333 Chapter 332 Occupying Li Yang
As soon as Guo Huai's words fell, he jumped out with a stride, and jumped directly to the stairs of the tower. He had just walked down two steps when a deafening explosion sounded in his ears.

The sound of the explosion was so loud that the power generated by the two hundred thunderbolt bombs shattered the entire city gate. Not only that, it also blew away the soldiers hiding in the opening of the city gate, and the fragments of the city gate rushed towards the soldiers The body and face flew away, making the entire city gate completely unrecognizable, and even the city wall near the city gate was blasted with a crack.

Guo Huai and other soldiers standing on the tower were even more stunned by the huge explosion force, their ears were buzzing, and they could only see other people's mouths moving, but they couldn't hear what they were saying.

Guo Huai rolled down the stairs, his head was bleeding and his hand bones were broken.He shouted loudly, but the soldiers all had innocent expressions, as if they couldn't hear what he was saying.

At this time, Zhao Yun led a group of cavalry to rush in from the gate of the city filled with gunpowder. White horses and silver spears killed everyone wherever the spears went. One shot killed one, which was extremely brave.

At this time, Guo Huai seemed to be able to hear some sounds in his ears, the dull sound of horseshoes, chaotic, groups of cavalry entered the city one after another, and as soon as they entered the city, they killed everyone they saw.

However, Guo Huai's subordinates were still terrified by the huge power of the violent explosion just now, and they had no power to fight back, allowing the enemy to act recklessly in the city.

Seeing that the city gate was lost, Guo Huai turned around and ran into the city. Unexpectedly, a white horse galloped up behind him. Put it on the horse's back, and then knocked him unconscious with a heavy blow, and even captured him.

The one who captured Guo Huai was none other than Huwei General Zhao Yun. After Zhao Yun captured Guo Huai, he commanded the cavalry to rush into the city, heading to the east, west and north gates respectively, while he led [-] cavalry to stay behind. Here, occupying the city gate.

The 500 cavalry were divided into three teams, each with [-] men, and rushed towards the three city gates.

There were not many soldiers in the city, and before those guarding the city understood the situation, they saw the enemy cavalry rushing towards them. They failed to organize an effective resistance, and finally fled in defeat under the fierce attack of Zhao Yun's cavalry.

The cavalry then opened the other three city gates to welcome Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others from outside the city to enter the city.

When Zhang Yan led Gan Ning and the iron-chained horse formation to Liyang City, the battle in Liyang had already ended. Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others had already occupied Liyang, killing three thousand enemies and taking five thousand prisoners. Guo Huai, the Jianwei general under Cao Cao's tent, was also captured alive.

After Gan Ning saw such a scene, he was filled with resentment. He just felt that he was one step too late and did not let him go into the city to kill the thieves.

Zhang Yan comforted Gan Ning and told Gan Ning that he would always be the vanguard in this campaign against Cao Cao.Only then did Gan Ning's mood improve slightly, and he stood beside Zhang Yan without saying a word.

Zhang Yan led the army into the city, and had Guo Huai arrested in the county government. He first asked, "You have been captured. If you are willing to surrender to me, I can still let you be General Jianwei..."

"Since I have been captured, I have nothing to say. If I want to kill, I will be killed, and if I want to be cut, I will be cut. I, Guo Huai, only want to be a general who kills my head, and I don't want to be a general who surrenders!" Guo Huai said righteously.

Seeing that Guo Huai had no intention of surrendering, Zhang Yan shook his head and said slowly, "It's a pity, a pity..."

In fact, Guo Huai is still very well-known in history, but Guo Huai belongs to the later period of the Three Kingdoms, that is, the stage after the Three Kingdoms really came together.Guo Huai was a courtier of Cao Wei. He made many military exploits in the attack against the Shu Han and gradually became a general of Cao Wei.

However, at this stage, Zhang Yan doesn't really need talents that much. As the saying goes, if Guo Huai is forced to stay by his side, problems will still arise sooner or later.

It would be better to follow Guo Huai's wishes and kill the matter with one knife, which can fulfill Guo Huai's reputation as a righteous man.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan shouted to the guards outside: "Come here, push General Guo out and kill him, let's leave the whole body."

After hearing this, Guo Huai sneered, cupped his fists towards Zhang Yan and said, "Thank you King Regent for your kindness, for leaving me a whole body. But, before I die, can I ask the King Regent something?"

"go ahead!"

Guo Huai said: "May I ask the regent, what kind of weapon is that black iron ball used in your army? I am not ignorant, and I have studied weapons of previous dynasties, but I have never seen the weapon used by the regent. I also hope that the Regent will give me some guidance."

Zhang Yan laughed and said, "It's okay to tell you. This is a weapon I developed myself. It's called the Thunderbolt. Not to mention you haven't seen it before, even your lord Cao Cao has definitely never seen it. You can put it this way." , No one in this world has seen this thing except me."

Guo Huai asked suspiciously: "Where did the regent meet?"

"In the dream, it was entrusted to me by the immortal."

The more Zhang Yan said, the more mysterious it became. Guo Huai knew the reason, so he stopped asking, but said to Zhang Yan: "Regent, although I, Guo Huai, lost today, I am not convinced at all. I lost to you." This weapon, not your army, if you fight me with real knives and guns, you may not be my opponent."

Zhang Yan laughed and said: "No matter how you lose, you are defeated. This is a fact. No matter how much you defend, it is useless. If you are not convinced, there is nothing I can do. Therefore, I can only wrong you at such a young age. I'm going to hell."

After speaking, Zhang Yan waved to the guards, signaling them to push Guo Huai out and kill him.

Guo Huai went out of the hall under the leadership of the guards. In a corner, someone directly ended his young life. He didn't cry out until he died. He is worthy of being a man.

After the guards killed Guo Huai, they came to report to Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan asked him to bury Guo Huai generously, and that was it.

After Guo Huai's death, his subordinates surrendered one after another. After Zhang Yan rested in Liyang for a day, he left Liyang with Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Gan Ning, Lu Meng and other elite soldiers, and marched towards Yecheng. He killed them, leaving only Wei Xu and three thousand soldiers stationed in Liyang, and the five thousand surrendered soldiers were also taken away.

At the same time, Zang Ba, the great general of the left, led the army into the border of Hebei. From Yanci all the way to the north, the army drove straight into it, like no one's land, passing by villages and towns along the way without disturbing them, and the cities they encountered were also because of Fearing the strength of the enemy army, surrender without fighting.

However, Zang Ba and others still did not enter the city. They just sent people to the city to make some purchases to supplement the military supplies, and then continued to move forward, directly reaching the city of Nanpi.

Zhang He and Gao Lan are the pioneers of the left and right. They are well-known in Hebei, as famous as Wen Chou and Yan Liang. The prefect of Bohai and the county magistrate of Nanpi were both Yuan Shao's subordinates. He left the Yuan family's hiding place, so he was erased from Cao Cao's death list, and he has always held the original official position.

At this moment, when they heard that Zhang He and Gao Lan were leading an army approaching Nanpi, they knew they were no opponents, so they simply surrendered without a fight, opened the gates of the city, and let Zhang He and Gao Lan enter the city.

Zhang He, Gao Lan and the prefect of Bohai are also old acquaintances. After entering the city, they chatted happily. During the period, they even told the story of the regent's division of troops to attack Hebei. It was planned, not to mention that Cao Cao's general situation is over, and you are right to surrender.

After hearing this, the prefect of Bohai had some lingering fears, because at first he wanted to fight, but after thinking about it, he gave up and surrendered.However, it now appears that he surrendered was the right move.

The next day, Zang Ba led his army to Nanpi, and Zhang Yun and Gao Lan directly welcomed them into Nanpi City.

Then, according to the original plan, Zang Ba asked Zhang He to go to Hejian and Gao Lan to Anping to be responsible for recruiting the two counties. He also informed the soldiers and civilians of Jizhou that the regent king had arrived in Jizhou and was ordered by the emperor to come and kill the rebels. Cao Cao, and hoped that the army and the people of Jizhou would cooperate together.In addition, Zang Ba made people publicize the benefits of the Han army, and strictly enforced military discipline, and did not offend the common people.

As for Xia Houyuan, who was far away in the plain, as soon as he got the news that Zang Ba led the army to cross the river, he tried to encircle Wei and save Zhao, so he led the army to attack Gaotang, but Zhang Yan obviously left a hand and let Bao Shao lead the army to garrison Gaotang, deliberately showing Out of Gaotang's empty state, he lured the enemy deep, and then carried out an ambush, which defeated Xia Houyuan. Even Xia Houyuan himself was injured by an arrow, and finally had to retreat to the plain in despair.

However, Xia Houyuan was not reconciled, so he mobilized soldiers and horses, and together with Xun You, went north to Nanpi, preparing to drive Zang Ba out of Nanpi.

……

After a day's long journey, Zhang Yan led the army finally arrived in Yecheng, only [-] miles away from Yecheng.

Along the way, the army did not commit any crimes, and marched forward in a hurry. The cavalry went first, and the infantry was led by Gao Shun. Wherever they passed, the soldiers and civilians of Jizhou all looked forward to the wind and surrendered.

In Yecheng, Xun Yu and Cao Hong never sent troops, but mobilized soldiers and horses from the counties around Yecheng, and all of them were concentrated in Yecheng, preparing to defend Yecheng and wait for Cao Cao's reinforcements.

When the news of Zhang Yan defeating Guo Huai and occupying Liyang reached Yecheng, Xun Yu and Cao Hong were shocked. What they didn't expect was that Zhang Yan's army was so powerful that it only took one day , they defeated Guo Huai's [-] troops and occupied Liyang.

It was precisely because of the news of the battle in Liyang that Xun Yu and Cao Hong decided to fortify their walls and clear the country, defend Yecheng, and wait for reinforcements.

The battle report Xun Yu has already sent out, but it will take a long time to get from Jicheng to Yecheng, so, no matter what, Xun Yu and Cao Hong must stick to Yecheng and wait for Cao Cao's return.

In the evening, Zhang Yan led the four generals Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, and Gan Ning to the outside of the city of Ye, then circled around the city and looked at it carefully.

Ye City stands majestically in front of Zhang Yan and the others. The moat outside is wide and deep. The four city gates are tightly closed.

"Yecheng is the most strong city in Hebei. As long as we capture this city, the rest of the city will be no problem, and we can completely disintegrate Cao Cao's power. Let's go back and make a battle plan. We must attack the city before Cao Cao rushes back to Yecheng." Come down to this city!" Zhang Yan said loudly.
