The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 22 The siege of the messenger

There is a saying in China, which is called: A big boat turns over in a small river ditch.

But now this sentence is exactly reflected in Xun Yu's body.

In terms of wit, experience, and vision, Xun Yu surpassed this little kid like Yuan Shang by several levels, but by chance, he let this little kid play with him today.

One was Yuan Shang's Qingqi attack on Xudu, which made Xun Yu unable to guard against him; the other was that he knew Yuan Shao very well, so he made a preconceived low-level mistake for a while; the third was that the situation was urgent and he didn't think about it; In his eyes, how could he expect Yuan Shao's son to have such courage?
The final result was that Yuan Shang even used a small bluff to put Xun Yu, a well-known figure in the world, together.

This, perhaps, is the so-called time of day.

So, Xun Yu is depressed now.

After writing the letter not to let Cao Cao retreat, Xun Yu immediately prepared several sentinel horses and ordered them to separate from the four gates, while he climbed the tower to wait and see, ordering them to look for opportunities to rush out of the enemy line to deliver the letter.

The problem is that after going up to the city gate, Xun Yu's heart suddenly went cold.

Thousands of cavalry surrounded the city tower tightly, neither attacking nor retreating, just staying in place, scouts galloping back and forth, closely inspecting every suspicious place in Xudu City
The enemy army is trying to seal all information coming in and out of the city.

After watching for a long time, the attendant at the side said hesitantly: "Mr. Xun Ling, Yuan Jun guarded the four gates and sent scouts to and fro. It seems that this letter is not so easy to send out."

"If you can't send it out, you have to send it!"

Seeing that although the iron cavalry below were good, but had no siege equipment, Xun Yu knew in his heart that Yuan Jun had no intention of attacking the city, but just wanted to use his own words to call Cao Cao back!

This hateful Yuan family boy
"Decree the four gates to open the city at the same time, and the cavalry in the city will cover the messenger to leave the city." After thinking for a long time, Xun Yu made a decisive decision in his heart.

"promise!"

*****************
Under the city of Xudu.

"Reporting to the third son, the gates of Xudu City have been opened! And all four gates are open at the same time!"

Yuan Shang, who had been watching from afar, listened to the report, and there was an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, wanting to fish in troubled waters?Hehe it's not that easy!
"Order Zhang Jaw, Gao Lan and all the soldiers under his command must stop all the troops leaving the city, and not let one go, especially the tightly packed messengers of the other party, they must be killed on the spot at all costs, killing with knives and arrows It doesn't matter, just let them die thoroughly!"

"promise!"

Not long after, soldiers and horses from the four sects of Xudu swarmed out. Although there were not many of them, they didn't intend to fight each other. They all had the will to break through.

Chen Bing's Yuan Jun soldiers outside the four gates of Xudu had been prepared for a long time. Seeing that Cao Jun was about to break through, they swarmed up and blocked his way.

"kill!"

Accompanied by the sound of killing, Gao Lan took the lead and led Yuan Jun's iron cavalry behind him to rush forward.

Cao Jun's elite soldiers were stationed at Guandu, and the soldiers guarding Xudu were all weak. How could they resist Yuan Jun's most elite [-] cavalry?

Cao Jun and Yuan Jun's iron cavalry at the four gates of the city just met each other, and they were defeated by the impact. It was the opposite of the combat power in the battle of Guandu. One by one, the soldiers fell off their horses in public and scattered in all directions.

The commander of the Cao army in the south of the city was called Wang Shuo, and he was the captain of the cavalry school in Xudu. Seeing that his soldiers and horses could not even meet Yuan Jun's face-to-face, he panicked and shouted: "Back, back, back!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a Hebei fierce general with a horizontal knife rushing in front of him, and a copper long knife fell directly on top of Wang Shuo's head.

"Get off for me!" With a terrifying roar, Wang Shuo just felt his eyes turn red, and before he had time to hum, he was cut off from the horse, and his body "thumped" twice on the ground before he stopped moving.

"Bah!" Gao Lan beheaded Wang Shuo with a single knife, then spat fiercely, showing disdain on his face, and said unsatisfactorily: "I can't catch a single knife! It's really useless!"

Seeing that the commander was beheaded by Gao Lan with a single knife, the rest of Cao Jun had no fighting spirit, and even lost the mood of conflict just now.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Jun had a military order long ago, but all those who left the city would be killed and no one would be left alive. Since these people have already left the city, they have already signed the nomination certificate in the Yan Wang's life and death book, how can they run away?

A massacre with little suspense kicked off in many cities, and then quickly came to an end.

Cao Jun who had broken through from the four gates was jaw-opened, and Gao Lan slaughtered them all, leaving no one behind.

Above the city gate, Xun Yu's face was livid, and he couldn't help clenching his fists tightly.

Looking at this situation, I am afraid that the letter to let the lord not need to return to the army for reinforcements will not be delivered!
It's a pity that Xudu doesn't have good soldiers and generals at the moment, if not, how can the people with open jaws and high views be so rampant here?
"Organize the troops and charge again!" Xun Yu half-closed his eyes, and slowly said to the attendants beside him.

"Are you still going to charge?" The attendant was a little confused when he heard the words. Yuan Jun's army is so powerful, while the Cao army defending the city is all weak troops. If a general is Zhang Jaw, Gao Lan's opponent, if he charges again, will he die in vain?

Unexpectedly, Xun Yu had made up his mind, and the attendant felt helpless, but he had no choice but to obey.

Not to mention Xun Yu's anxiety in Xu Capital City, but to talk about Zhang Jaw. After Gao Lan killed all the Cao troops who came in the conflict, he immediately returned to report to Yuan Shang.

"The two generals are very skilled. They are indeed the pillars of our Hebei. They cleaned up Cao Jun so quickly?" Yuan Shang looked at the two generals with a smile on his face, his face was full of joy.

"Hey, the third son praises me so much, what a trifle!" Gao Lan grinned and said, "Cao Jun's elite are all in Guandu, and there are all weak troops here. If we can't even deal with them, what about the two of us?" Can you take on the position of general?"

Compared with Gao Lan's excitement, Zhang Jaw looked calm: "Third Young Master, although Cao's army has been slaughtered in this battle, we should not be careless. The general expects that there will be soldiers and horses in the city who want to break through in a while, so we must be cautious." engaged."

Yuan Shang nodded when he heard the words, although Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan were tied, but only from this mentality of being prepared for danger in times of peace, Zhang Jaw was faintly superior to Gao Lan.

Gao Lan was straightforward and didn't care. He asked, "My lord, how long will we have to hang around here in Xudu?"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly, and stretched out two fingers: "Two days! We only need to hold on for two days, and Cao Jun will start to attack. At that time, if we let any letters pass by, we will be powerless!"

Hearing this, Gao Lan laughed loudly, thrust the saber in his hand towards the ground, and said boldly: "Okay, two days will be two days, third son, don't worry, for the next two days, Zhang Jaw and I will sit guard in shifts and surround you to death." Four gates, even if he wants to break the sky, he will never let him out like a bird!"
