Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 508 Yangping Offensive and Defensive Battle
Going down to Biancheng, the Jin army left the city ahead of time, this is a strategy.In order to annihilate Cao Cao's elite in one fell swoop, Han Wu has spared no expense, even the destruction of Xiabian City.

Huang Zhong led his troops in ambush in the forest to the north of Xiabian City, waiting for Cao Ren to lead his troops into Xiabian City.

Cao Ren rushed out of Xiegu, losing troops and generals, but he also found that Xiabian City was empty.Not only would there be no guards from the Jin Kingdom, but there would be no common people around.There are even many corpses of common people on the ground, which is not in line with common sense.

The state of Jin has always pacified the world with benevolence and virtue, and has never slaughtered people. This time Cao Ren was shocked.

"This smell...quickly retreat!" Just as Cao Ren got off his horse to inspect the corpses of the common people, he suddenly asked about the smell of kerosene.

The strong smell of blood covered up the smell of kerosene, and Cao Ren could smell it now.

With cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, Cao Ren understood that Biancheng is a dead city!Han Wu had already torn his face, and used Xiabian City as a trap to ambush Qin's army.As for these people, they must be rebels who were unwilling to leave Xiabian City, and were killed by the general of Jin to deter other people.Moreover, the smell of people's blood can also cover up the kerosene to resist the smell.

Unfortunately, he knew it too late.

Whoosh!
Hundreds of rockets shot out and landed on the houses in Xiabian City.

boom!
The explosion sounded directly, and the entire residential area of ​​Xiabian City was ignited, and the flames instantly rose to the sky.

Huang Zhong showed a sneer outside the city, and directly ordered: "All officers and soldiers listen to the order! Surround the South Gate and West City, and besiege the entire Xiabian City!"

Holding the saber in his hand, Huang Zhong rode his horse and led the troops to the south gate of Xiabian City in person.

A moment later, Cao Ren's army rushed out of the sea of ​​flames, only to see the Jin army intercepting them outside the city gate.

"Damn it! It's Huang Zhong!" Cao Ren coughed fiercely, and the black smoke engulfed many elite soldiers of the Qin State, and the entire city of Xiabian was as bright as day.

"Fire arrows!"

Without showing any mercy, Huang Zhong directly ordered to shoot arrows to kill Cao Ren's army.

Niu Jin frowned and blocked the arrows for Cao Ren, but many soldiers were hit by the arrows.Just breaking through from Xiabian City, the soldiers of Qin State lacked physical strength, coupled with the billowing black smoke, they basically lost the physical strength to resist now.

"Give me the bow and arrow!" Huang Zhong snorted coldly, and asked the lieutenant to hand over the Suzaku Bow, which was a magical weapon bestowed upon him by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Niu Jin continued to resist the arrows and backed up, and shouted to Cao Ren: "General, retreat to the city first! Break through the other city gate, we can't get through here!"

Cao Ren snorted coldly and shouted, "There must be an ambush over there! Get out, go!"

After many battles, Cao Ren was also angry, this time he will fight with his life.

Niu Jin could only take his orders, regardless of whether there was an ambush at the other city gate, if he just circled around Xiabian City in the thick smoke, he might not be able to survive.

Whoosh!
A hidden arrow came, Huang Zhong activated his strongest archery skills, and the three arrows attacked Niu Jin back and forth.

"Block! Ah!" Niu Jin blocked two arrows, but he didn't expect Huang Zhong to be a three-star Lianzhu, and the third arrow directly pierced his neck.

Like a kite with a broken string, Niu Jin fell off his horse and died on the spot.

The morale of the surrounding soldiers was completely blown, and the soldiers in the front row put down their weapons one after another and chose to surrender.

"I surrender! I'm just a commoner in Yizhou. I joined the army as a last resort. I surrender!"

"I surrender too!"

……

Seeing that the situation was over, most of the soldiers chose to surrender.Most of them were not the elites brought by Cao Cao from the Central Plains, but the native people of Yizhou.

Huang Zhong saw that the soldiers under Cao Ren's command were in disarray and they all chose to surrender. He waved his hands to tell the soldiers to stop shooting.

Cao Ren knew that the situation was over, but he would never choose to surrender, because he was a member of the Cao clan!
"Huang Hansheng, you are really powerful! However, my death is not a loss. Cao Hong's army has joined the king. I watched Han Wu being pinched at Yangping Pass under the nine springs! Eat me!" Cao Ren shouted angrily and rode his horse He rushed to Huang Zhong, but this could only be a gift.

Just after rushing out of the thick smoke of the sea of ​​flames, Cao Ren's physical strength has not yet recovered, so he is no match for Huang Zhong at all.

Raising the saber in his hand, Huang Zhong's saber technique was sharp, and he didn't move like a mountain, and directly cut Cao Ren under the horse.

"Hmph! Cao Zixiao, the great general of the Qin State, has always been known as an impregnable wall, but he was so negligent. As soon as he went down to Biancheng, he was ambushed, alas..." Huang Zhong sighed helplessly, feeling unworthy of Cao Ren.

The lieutenant general also nodded, and replied: "Qin's military strength is no match for our Jin's, and the previous battle in Yongliang made their army exhausted. After the war, they found out that they had been tricked and rushed out of the inclined valley. Time to rest. A Xiabian City is the foothold they must obtain, and Cao Ren naturally has no time to think. Congratulations, general, beheading Cao Ren has made a great contribution!"

Huang Zhong didn't have time to listen to the lieutenant complimenting him here, so he directly chopped off Cao Ren's head and let the soldiers deal with it easily.

"Rush to the south entrance of Xiegu, set up a simple horse-repelling formation, and hang Cao Ren's head up. Try to defend the south entrance of Xiegu as hard as possible, and don't let Cao Hong and Cao Cao meet!" Huang Zhong frowned, showing a fierce look.

Cao Ren said that Cao Hong had joined Cao Cao, but Huang Zhong didn't believe it at all.If Cao Hong joined Cao Cao, then Cao Cao's army would have rushed out of the inclined valley long ago.Moreover, Cao Hong was blocked by Yuwen Chengdu, so it was impossible to arrive so soon.

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Cao led the army to solve the last wave of ambush, leaving only [-] elite troops under his command.

"My, Your Majesty! Something is wrong!" Just after dawn, Cheng Yu saw thick smoke in the direction of Xiabian City in the distance. The extent of this kind of smoke is basically that the Jin Kingdom burned the entire Xiabian City.

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao spurted out a mouthful of blood, and immediately calmed down.Now his every move will determine the morale of the soldiers.

Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes and said in shock, "This general of the Jin Kingdom is also quite vicious. General Cao Ren is probably...more ominous than good."

What Xi Zhicai said was the reason why Cao Cao vomited blood just now. Cao Ren was a member of Cao Cao's clan, and he died like this.

"It's not good! Your Majesty, there are enemy troops at the entrance of the valley ahead, and... General Cao Ren's head has been hung up!" The scout chief rushed over on his horse and reported nervously.

Cao Cao had been mentally prepared for a long time, but the headache was unbearable, so he quickly waved his hand to let the scout leader back down first.

Xi Zhicai made a decisive decision and suggested: "Your Majesty, it is better to give up Yangping Pass and join General Cao Hong! Three thousand suanni cavalry are relatively easy to deal with, but Yangping Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we are flanked, then Defeat is certain."

Xi Zhicai's plan is still feasible, but Li Ru is a little confused. He thinks that the Jin army should not just burn Xiabian City like this.In other words, burning Xiabian City was not the best policy. Li Ru believed that Guo Jia should not make such a judgment based on Guo Jia's knowledge.
