Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 824 Central Plains War (5)

The White Horse was originally an unknown place, but because Yuan Cao fought here, Guan Yu became famous for beheading Yan Liang.Although there is no strong city, Xia Houhui built nine forts with Baimapo as the center, and each fort was stationed with thousands of people.

Xu Gai was eager to make meritorious deeds and stormed for two days, losing more than a thousand people, and was anxious.On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Ting and Wen Qin led the army to arrive. Facing the dotted fortress, Wen Qin laughed and said, "Xia Houhui's move seems to be stable, but in fact the people and horses are scattered, but it gives me an opportunity. An ant needs a bite to chew on a bone." One bite."

Xu Gai realized that he was too greedy and wanted to attack the white horse all at once. Of course, the scattered attack hit Xia Houhui's arms.Immediately ordered a team of 2000 people to attack in turn, only attacking the first base, and the rest were on standby.

Due to the limited area, the Wei army on the first base could only accommodate a thousand people, and only by dragging out the dead could reinforcements enter. The ravine had to move corpses, replenish troops, and transport arrows, which inevitably caused panic.The Han army only attacked the first base. Although the losses were not small due to the strong attack, the replenishment of the fort was gradually unable to keep up. It took only two hours for the Han army to conquer the first base at the cost of losing a thousand people.

The morale of the Han army was greatly boosted, and they made persistent efforts to conquer the second base in only one hour and at the cost of losing 500 people. In one day, they even conquered the fourth base.Xu Gai's spirit doubled, and he ordered torches to be lit, and continued to attack overnight.

Xia Houhui was full of bitterness at this time, why the fortresses he had painstakingly built were suddenly eaten away one by one, and why the Han army was so brave and fearless. According to this progress, they would all fall by the next day.Why are there so many Han troops? Xu Huang, the opponent’s leader, has not yet shown up. There are more than 3 soldiers in front of him. Wang Chang retreated to Chenliu, and his second brother Xia Houba went to Rencheng.If you don't leave at this time, Tianming will not be able to leave. While the Han army is still attacking the fifth base, Xia Houhui quietly led the remaining fourth basemen to retreat to Puyang.

On the fifth day of April, Xu Gai took down the white horse.Qi Mao led Xuan Jiaqi to Baima, and at the same time Xu Huang also gave the next order. Wen Qin led the army to surround Puyang without attacking, and Xu Gai and Zhou Ting went east to Juancheng.

Xuanjiaqi suffered heavy losses, Fang Kai only led [-] Qingqi to the south to Rencheng, Cao Zhang withdrew from Zou County, and Wu Gang left Lu County.On the night of the second day of junior high school, Cao Zhang attacked Wu Gang's camp at night. Wu Gang had already taken precautions. Cao Zhang fought bravely and retreated into Rencheng.

On the fourth day of the lunar new year, Xiahouba led the army to fight. Fang Kai and Xiahouba were invincible. Wu Gang and Cao Zhang joined the melee, and the two armies hurt each other.Xia Houba was outside the city, and Cao Zhang confronted Wu Gang and Fang Kai inside the city, and they fell into a stalemate.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Cao Ren learned that Dongjun was attacked by Xu Huang and the Yanjin Ferry was occupied. He knew that Lu Xun was in Shouzhang only to mobilize the Wei army, but in fact it was for Dongjun. He ordered Dai Ling to continue to garrison Shouzhang under his own banner and personally Lead the army back to Dongjun.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, when Cao Ren arrived at Linqiu, the prefect Linghuyu came to meet him, saying that the white horse had been lost. Xu Huang's army crossed the Yellow River, Xia Houhui retreated to Puyang, and the Han army divided into two groups.

Cao Ren was not like Guan who felt that he was invincible in the world. Nearly 15 Han troops were besieged on three sides, led by Lu Xun and Xu Huang. He clearly realized that Yanzhou was really hard to keep, and losing the city was inevitable, but these soldiers and horses under his command could not be lost. Only by keeping the vitality can we defend Sizhou.But he can abandon Dongjun, but he can't give up Cao Zhang, Xiahouba and Xiahouhui. Cao Zhang is the son of Cao Cao, Xiahouba is the second child of Xiahouyuan, and Xiahouhui is the sixth child. All three are his nephews, and they are also the number one in the Cao family. There are not many generals in the army, the Cao family's country needs the Cao family!

Immediately, Cao Ren ordered that Cao Zhang and Xiahouba abandon Rencheng and retreat westward to Shanyang, and together with Shanyang prefect Wuqiu Jian retreat to Jiyin County, stationed in Dingtao; ordered Dailing to abandon Shouzhang, and Linghu Yu took over to Jiyin to station Chengcheng Positive.

"Although I can't take back Dongjun, Xia Houhui has to save it. Xun Yue, you go to Dongming first and prepare to meet me."

Cao Tai said anxiously: "It's enough for me to save Zhiquan, why bother my father?"

"You must be Xu Huang's opponent, and I must go personally."

Juancheng, Fuxi, Nuwa, Zhuanxu, Yao, and Shun all lived in this land, but juancheng is more famous in the military: the hometown of Sun Bin, the battle of Chengpu between Chu and Jin, Cao Cao also stationed troops here The base area started the great cause of unifying the Central Plains, and now Juancheng has become a land of swords and blood.

On the eighth day of the eighth day, Wei Jun and Han Jun met in Juancheng.

"You two generals, how should we fight?" Qi Mao asked Xu Gai and Zhou Ting.

"What is Cao Ren afraid of?" Xu Gai had no timidity, only excitement. "Why should I wait for meritorious service, kill!"

Qi Mao led [-] Xuanjia to rush forward, Xu Gai and Zhou Ting each led [-] Qingqi to the left and right, and [-] infantry rushed towards the Wei army.

Xuanjia cavalry still had room for an arrow, and the Wei army suddenly split to the left and right, and a thousand halberd soldiers flashed out in the middle, each wearing three layers of heavy armor, standing like an iron tower holding a two-foot-long halberd.

"Roar!" The halberd pointed obliquely, and the Xuanjia cavalry ran straight into the eucalyptus. The halberd soldiers vomited blood but rarely fell. Stab it with a long lance, the horse's lance snaps, and in an instant the person is turned on his back.

Cao Ren thought hard about the strategy of cracking the Xuanjia cavalry in field battles, and suddenly remembered Yuan Shao's halberd warrior, so he selected a strong man with a thousand arms and a round waist from the army, wearing three layers of iron armor.The Xuanjia cavalry is densely packed just to charge the formation, and the euphorbia warriors are scattered only to block. The Xuanjia cavalry and the euphorbia soldiers wrestled together, and they turned into scrap copper and rotten iron in an instant.A few Xuanjia cavalry rushed through the halberd formation but were quickly submerged in the army, and the charge failed!
Everything happened in a blink of an eye, Xu Gai and Zhou Ting attacked with two wings, darts were like rain, and Wei Jun greeted them with big shields.

"Take it!" Seeing that it was impossible to charge forward, the two whistled at the same time, led Qingqi to pass in front of Cao Jun, and gave up the main battlefield to the pawns.

The 5000 Han army and the [-] Wei army started a scuffle. Although Cao Ren had [-] troops, he didn't dare to press them all. He sent [-] troops to the left and right flanks to guard against the Han cavalry.

This scuffle fought from noon to dusk, the sky was dark, and blood flowed like rivers. Although the Han army had the advantage in fighting, Cao Ren's command was slightly superior.

At nightfall, the two armies that had been fighting for a day had a temporary truce. The Han army dragged Qi Mao out of the dead, but he had a slight concussion and needed to rest for a few days.

The Xuanjiaqi were all killed in the first battle, and Xu Huang would inevitably scold them.Xu Gai and Zhou Ting were unhappy, but Zhou Ting was the first to speak: "Cao Ren came here to save Xia Houhui, why don't we lead him to Puyang..."

Xu Gai shook his head and said: "That's not right. If Xia Houhui abandons the city, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop them. Could it be that you want to ask my father for help?"
