Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 574 Retreating to Xingyang

Wu Shun's sudden attack, sudden and violent, stunned Cao Jun all of a sudden!
In order to delay the offensive of the Qinglong Cavalry of the Wuling Army, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry of the Cao Army sacrificed a lot!Even the main general died in battle.

Wu Shun was not proud of winning the first battle.He didn't order the pursuit, and the Wuling army advanced layer by layer from Hulao Pass, sweeping away all Cao's strongholds!

When the war started, the land conquered by the Wuling Army would belong to Yizhou, and naturally it would not be hasty like before.

According to Wu Shun's order, the Wuling army pushed all the way to Xingyang before being forced to stop.Because Cao Cao sticks here!

"Everyone, Cao Cao is in the city of Xingyang, and the siege equipment is not in place yet, what can we do?"

Outside the city of Xingyang, Wu Shun looked thoughtfully at the big flag with Cao characters fluttering on the city tower.

Catapults, Jinglan, such siege weapons, are huge in size and slow in movement.Without the assistance of the catapult Jinglan, Wu Shun did not intend to attack the city!
"After Xingyang is Zhongmou and Changsha, and to the south is Yingchuan. Now that Cao Jun is defending Xingyang, my lord can send cavalry to go around and sweep it!"

Xu Shu suggested.

Cavalry is fast and agile, perfect for this kind of thing.

"This plan works!"

Fazheng is also optimistic about this method.

Both military advisers felt that it was feasible, and the cavalry generals present were not calm.

This time, will the lord send me there?
They prayed in their hearts, it must be Ben who will go!
"Meng Qi, Zilong!"

Wu Shun ordered the general, ready to carry out harassment operations deep into the enemy's rear.

"The end is here!"

Hearing Wu Shun's roll call, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun rushed out to respond.

"Did you hear what the two military advisers said just now?"

Wu Shun asked.

"I heard!"

The two were very excited.

Seeing Ma Chao excited and Zhao Yun holding back his excitement, Wu Shun said leisurely:

"The Qinglong cavalry will continue to scare Cao Cao here. Xiliang iron cavalry and Qilin cavalry will go around Xingyang and go deep into the hinterland of Cao's army. It is up to you to decide whether to cut off food or harass it! I only have one request, let Cao's army's hinterland be chaotic!"

"Yes! The final general will definitely live up to my lord's high expectations!"

Ma Chao and Zhao Yun agreed together.

"Pay attention to the characteristics of the cavalry, don't be surrounded by the enemy. We will not rescue you then!"

Wu Shun said very seriously.

It is very dangerous for cavalry to go deep behind enemy lines.If you make a wrong judgment, you will easily be blocked and killed!

"Please rest assured, my lord!"

Zhao Yun, Ma Chao said again.

"Immediately gather troops and horses, let's go!"

Wu Shun gave the order, and the Wuling army immediately dispatched more than [-] cavalry to go around from the outside of Xingyang City, and rolled up an earth dragon along the road...

Upstairs in Xingyang City, Cao Cao watched all this coldly.

He is very angry, but at present he has nothing to do with Wu Shun's method!

Known as a [-]-strong army, he was defeated in a surprise attack by the Wuling army and retreated to Xingyang City, which is really embarrassing.

"My lord, don't worry, the Wuling army's move is just self-destruction."

Guo Jia knew that Cao Cao was unhappy, so he spoke out to comfort him.

"Hey, Feng Xiao doesn't know that the cavalry is moving like the wind and entering my hinterland, it will definitely make people panic. In this way, the future of our army is worrying."

Cao Cao expressed his worries.Now his army can only stick to Xingyang, and Zhongmou still has Changshe!I really dare not divide my troops to intercept those cavalry who do evil.

"The cavalry can come and go freely, but they can't attack the city! My lord only needs to fortify the walls and clear the field, so that the enemy cavalry has no profit, and they will retreat."

Guo Jia said.

"What should I do if the enemy army cuts off my food supply?"

Cao Cao couldn't help feeling a little anxious when he thought of this.

What fights is food and grass!

Now he sticks to Xingyang and consumes a lot of food and grass every day. If the food road is cut off, he will face the embarrassing situation of food shortage.

"My lord, don't worry, Master Xun Yu must have a way to deal with these problems."

With Xun Yu's talent, if he couldn't even guarantee Xingyang's food and grass, then he would be ashamed of his Wang Zuozhi's talent.

Thinking of Xun Yu in the rear of his own, a big talent like Chen Yu sits in charge.Cao Cao's mood was much more peaceful.

The Wuling army's attack came very quickly.Cao Cao was still worried about how to deal with the cavalry of the Wuling Army who circled behind him a moment ago, but now he has to consider how to resist the attack of the Wuling Army.

"Feng Xiao, the Wuling army is marching very fast. We need to prepare the supplies for the defense of the city before their catapults arrive."

Cao Cao ordered.

"My lord, don't worry, this subordinate will do it now."

Guo Jia is the military adviser here, with a low position but great power.Cao Jun's generals can disobey him, but they must obey his orders.

In one day, all the siege machines of the Wuling Army were in place.In order to ensure that these big guys arrived on time, Dongfang Qiang stayed up all night without sleep.

"Dongfang, hurry up and rest, attack the city tomorrow!"

Dongfang insisted on holding on, but was forced by Wu Shun to go back and rest.Many generals who were too excited to sleep were also forced by Wu Shun to rest.

Have a good rest, and be mentally and physically strong, so that you can kill more enemies on the battlefield.

On May 26, under the command of Wu Shun, the Wuling Army launched a fierce offensive against Xingyang City.

thump, thump, thump...

The rapid drumbeat resounded through the sky, and the soldiers of the Wuling Army rushed towards Xingyang City step by step with rapid and steady footsteps!
Boom boom boom!
The catapult roared, and after countless fireballs streaked across the sky, they smashed down on the head of Xingyang City with great force.

For a while, gravel and sawdust flew randomly, and Cao Jun's exclamation and screams were endless...

"The Wuling army attacked the city, the soldiers fought back!"

When the Wuling army's trebuchets stopped roaring, Cao Cao roared and fought back.

Outside the city of Xingyang, there are eight wells close to the city wall, and the archers above keep shooting arrows at the tower.

Because their position is higher than the city wall, they are condescending, providing a strong cover for the soldiers of the Wuling Army who climbed the ladder!
Zhang Xiong and Huang Zhong were hiding in the crowd, and they were observing where it was easier to break through.

"Han Sheng, you cover me with a bow and arrow, I will go first!"

Zhang Xiong ordered.Jing Lan played a huge role, and Zhang Xiong had already found the opening to break through Cao Jun's defense.

"no problem!"

As soon as the words fell, Huang Zhong took off his bow and arrow, preparing to provide cover for Zhang Xiong.

"Whoosh!"

A piercing sound came out.A Cao soldier who aimed at Zhang Xiong for a long time screamed and fell over the top of the wall, and fell to the wall and died immediately.

Zhang Xiong knew it was Huang Zhong without looking back.Because in the Wuling Army, only Huang Zhong and Shi Zhongyu have such sharpshooters with such accuracy.

Knowing that Huang Zhong was protecting him, Zhang Xiong roared angrily, and quickly climbed up the ladder.

"The general is mighty!"

Seeing Zhang Xiong showing off his power, the soldiers were encouraged, and they all accelerated their climbing speed!

"kill!"

Zhang Xiong swung his knife and chopped off several Cao soldiers who wanted to push him down. With a strong left hand, he kicked his feet and flew directly to the top of Xingyang City!
"Beat the drums!"

Seeing this, Wu Shun hurriedly ordered.

thump, thump, thump...

The battle drums sounded again, and Zhang Xiong, the Wuling army, on the tower of Xingyang City, with his own strength, killed a bloody path for the soldiers who came up later!
