Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 589

In Guangping City, General Xie Jun led Cao Xiu into the city. Cao Xiu counted fifteen thousand men and horses, and there were less than one thousand light cavalry.Jizhou had 12 horses, and the losses in the two battles of Hejian and Julu amounted to [-]. Cao Pi still had to defend against Zhang Jaw, fearing that he would be unable to rescue him. He only hoped that Cao Zhang's Bingzhou Army would arrive as soon as possible.

Wang Ling and Xie Jun reinforced the city's defenses. In order to prevent the city gate from being attacked by vehicles again, they cut down all the trees outside the city and cut through the ice of the moat.

On December [-]th, the horses came to report that Xu Shu's army was approaching the city. Cao Xiu went to the city and saw the banners and dust flying from a distance. He was shocked and said, "Why does Xu Shu have so many soldiers and horses?"

Not only Cao Xiu, but all the generals in Cao's army are all soldiers.Wang Lang reassured: "Don't worry, general. Although Xu Shu has many troops, he has come from a long distance, and the supply of food and grass is insufficient. As long as we hold on to the city, we will be able to break it when General Ziwen comes to help us."

Wang Ling also said: "There is enough food and grass in the city, as long as we can't hold on, Xu Shu has nothing to do."

As the two said, Chen Dao lost nearly 2000 people in the symbolic three-day siege, and the offensive was slightly slowed down, so Cao Xiu was somewhat determined.

Cao Zhang's troops went out of Huguan, with three thousand Qingqi in front, and rushed all the way to Guangping without stopping. The distance was about [-] miles, about a day's journey. Cao Zhang ordered him to camp for a night, sent scouts to inquire about the news, and sent Wu Da to Guangping to deliver the letter .

However, all his scouts and messengers were intercepted by Han Long. When Zhou Cang was in Liaodong, he ordered Guan Hai to recruit visitors and hunters to form a search team. It has become a well-trained reconnaissance battalion, with one man and two horses, equipped with spears and hand crossbows, and has extremely strong combat and reconnaissance capabilities.

"Hahaha, Cao Zhang is already in the game." Xu Shu laughed, Cao Zhang was really cooperative, and the camping place was almost the same as his expectation.Without execution, Wu Da told all he knew.

"Lu Yun, I ordered you to bring 2000 people and more firewood and other firelights to sneak into the enemy camp along the dug tunnel. Then light the fire at the fourth watch. The bigger the fire, the better. Cover up and kill."

"Li Gang, I want you to bring more than 1000 people with war drums. When you see a fire, immediately beat the drums and shout for killing."

"Han Long, you take three thousand light cavalry and two thousand infantry, and when you see the fire, attack the enemy camp immediately."

The three leaders acted according to the order respectively.

"Xu Sheng, take this letter in exchange for the messenger's armor and horse to Guangping to deliver the letter to Cao Xiu, and also give him a message. At four o'clock tomorrow, ask him to see the fire outside the city and go out of the city to attack our army." Xu Shu took it. The letter said to Xu Sheng: "There are more dangers than good fortune, you have to be careful."

Xu Sheng received the letter with both hands: "I was about to die, but my master saved me. I wish I could die in return. I will be useful today. Xu Sheng will not hesitate to die!"

I don't know if Zhang Yan will succeed in sending troops to Taixing, and what is Cao Xiu's situation in Guangping. Cao Zhang has inquired about it. Xu Shu's side can be called a general. Chen Dao, Cao Zhang is still very confident in dealing with Chen Dao.

Cao Zhang had just taken a nap, when he heard the shouts from the back of the camp, he hurriedly got up and put on his armor, and the soldiers came to report: "General, the back camp is on fire.

Cao Zhang went out of the tent and looked one after another, the fire was shining in the sky, when did Xu Shu's men and horses detour behind our army?Before he could think about it, the sound of the battle drums in the front battalion, the sound of the war drums, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering.

"Don't worry about the rear, follow me to meet the enemy!" Cao Zhang urgently gathered his men and rushed to the front camp, and three thousand Qingqi moved closer to Cao Zhang.

Han Long vaguely saw a group of people killing out of Cao Ying, pulled out a spear, and shouted: "Throw!"

A thousand dart players did not aim, and threw their darts in one direction, hitting dozens of riders. "Throw again!" In the second round, more than a hundred riders were shot down.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was already close, and Han Long waved his iron gun: "Come on!" He rushed to Cao Jun first.

Cao Zhang wielded his animated halberd to fight left and right, picking several cavalry off their horses one after another, but Cao Jun was exhausted from running all the way, drowsy and hurriedly assembled, with incomplete armor and unorganized formation; two rounds of spears shot nearly two hundred, and there were enemy troops in front When there is a fire and an ambush, when you are in a panic, how can you withstand the charge of Han Long's three thousand Qingqi.

As soon as the two armies came into contact, Cao Jun's disadvantage was immediately apparent, hundreds of cavalry were beheaded, and Han Long's offensive could not be stopped in the melee, and the camp was captured.Three thousand Qingqi slashed and killed wantonly, and saw countless soldiers advancing towards the camp. It seemed that there were thousands of them. There were tens of thousands of people, and everyone panicked and ran away with their heads in their hands.

After half a shift, Cao Zhang waved his animated halberd while paying attention to his subordinates. He only felt that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable. He wanted to break through the enemy's army and head towards Guangping, but he was also worried that there would be an ambush ahead.Forget it, it seems that there are not many enemy troops in the rear battalion, and they just ignited the fire to disturb our army's morale. We must first go back to Bingzhou to gather troops and horses, and then come to rescue.Thinking of this, Cao Zhang turned his horse's head, waved his halberd, and shouted, "Get out!"

When Han Long saw that Cao Zhang had regrouped his troops and retreated, he did not stop him. Cao Zhang led only a thousand cavalry and fled in embarrassment while the fire was a little weaker.Han Long and Lu Yun then covered up the killing. Cao Jun's [-] infantry were only able to sprint but could not outrun the horses. They were surrounded by all of them.

Inventorying his subordinates, there were more than a thousand horses lost, and nearly a hundred died under Cao Zhang's men. Han Long returned to Xu Shu and sighed: "Huang Xuer's reputation is well-deserved, his bravery is not inferior to hegemony, and his subordinates are also brave. It is inevitable that there will be countless casualties. It is a pity that he cannot be kept here, and he will inevitably become my enemy in the future."

Xu Shu said with a smile: "I heard from Liang Guang that Liaohou once discussed in the Independence Camp what is the enemy of ten thousand people. A mere Cao Zhang is no more than a man. What can you do if you are brave? Your assassin is better than Xianbei, far better than ten Thousand elite soldiers."

"Xu Dudu won the award, but it was just a fluke. I also heard from Commander Zhou that the saying of ten thousand enemies has never been comprehended. I only realized the deep meaning of the Lord today." Han Long said with a little emotion: "Cao Zhang's troops are not many, so it can be seen He has divided his troops too far, I don't know if Bo Dao can hold on."

"In terms of defense, Bo Dao is still above me. If Cao Zhang does not support Guangping, it may be difficult to attack Jingxing with all his strength. Since Cao Zhang divides his forces, Jingxing will have no worries."

Xu Shu ordered the whole army to rest for two hours and leave for Guangping after noon.

In Guangping City, Cao Xiu, Wang Lang, and Wang Ling were questioning Xu Sheng. After reading Cao Zhang's letter, the three of them found that there was no deviation in the handwriting and seal, but they still had many questions. Wang Ling almost took Xu Sheng as the person he claimed to be It was Su Mian's person, Wang Ling couldn't believe anyone at this time.

"Where are you from? What position do you hold?"

"Back to the general, the younger one is General Cao's guard, a native of Daijun, because Xianbei lived in troubled times and lived in Bingzhou. The general saw that I have some martial arts and courage, so he stayed by my side."
