The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 284
Zhang Ji allowed Huangfu Song to enter the customs.
This surprised Zhou Cheng.
However, it has already happened, and there is no point in looking for the cause.
What Zhou Cheng has to do now is to defeat Huangfu Song.
So Zhou Cheng led the Dawn Cavalry, Shenshe Camp, Huya Camp, and Panshi Camp, recruited Xianbei and Rouran cavalry, and marched south again.
……
When Zhou Cheng led his army southward, Sishui Pass had already been attacked by Huangfu Song.
Duan Xuan, Xu Rong and others combined more than 20,000 troops to defend Sishui Pass.
"kill!"
"Kill!"
With flying stones and arrows, there were heavy casualties at the Sishui Pass.
At this time, the soldiers with ladders shouted loudly and attacked the Sishui Pass.
Pushed by the soldiers, the wells and Linchongs slowly Move forward.
The arrows are like locusts.
At the same time, the trebuchets on the city wall throw out flying stones and fire oil cans.
At the same time, the crossbows shoot out thick crossbow arrows, hitting the heavy well railings and rushing.
However, the price of fighting back is increased casualties on the city.
Xuan, Xu Rong and others did not dare to be careless at all.
They were all afraid of the Qiu Queen's settlement, but they did not dare to surrender to Huangfu Song.
Moreover, they were still lucky because they decided to seek refuge with Zhou Cheng. Following Zhou Cheng would definitely be much better than surrendering to Huangfu Song.
"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow for me!"
"Don't be afraid, hold up your shield and go up!"
When defending the city, every counterattack means that arrows and flying stones may fall on you.
If you are timid, the efficiency of defending the city will be very low.
The Xiliang army and horses are now holding on bravely.
……
Inside Xu Huang's military tent.
Xu Huang has already received letters asking for help from Duan Xuan and Xu Rong.
At this time, Wang Fang, Li Meng and others were also in the camp.
Wang Fang stood up and said,"I am willing to lead my army to reinforce Sishui Pass."
Li Meng also stood up and said,"I am also willing to go."
Xu Huang then nodded in agreement.
Immediately, Wang Fang and Li Meng led their own troops. As soon as the two of them left, Zhao Yun asked Xu Huang :"Gong
Ming, I don't understand.
"
Yue, why hasn’t Cao’s army run out of food?"
"There is also doubt about this matter."Xu Huang also wanted to know this answer.
Confronted Cao Jun, consumed Cao Jun's food and grass, and forced Cao Jun to attack his own side after Cao Jun ran out of food.
Cao Jun had more infantry and less cavalry. If he took the initiative to attack Zhou Jun, the impact of the infantry would definitely not be as good as the cavalry..
And Xu Huang can use the high mobility of the cavalry to wipe out Cao Jun in one battle.
Or, when Cao Jun retreats, he can follow Cao Cao behind and attack Cao Cao, causing Cao Cao's army, which is short of food, to collapse.
This is Xu Huang's battle Plan.
However, everything is based on Cao Cao's army running out of food.
But Cao Cao still has food surplus now?
This is simply unbelievable.
According to the investigation of the Qingqi battalion scouts, Yuan Shu did not provide Cao Cao with food and grass.
In other words, Cao Cao now All the food and grass in Yingchuan came from plundering Yingchuan.
However, the fields in Yingchuan were now barren. How could there be enough food to last for such a long time?
……
The person responsible for collecting grain in Yingchuan counties was Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu knew that it was difficult to collect food and grass in Yingchuan, and Cao's army and Zhou's army were in conflict and needed food and grass.
If they run out of food, Cao's army will undoubtedly be defeated.
Although Cheng Yu was violent by nature and had many disagreements with others, both Liu Dai and Cao Cao believed in Cheng Yu.
Therefore, Cao Cao handed over the task of collecting grain to Cheng Yu.
Today's Yingchuan has experienced more than ten years of war, the people's livelihood is in ruins, and the fields are barren.
In each county, the amount of food and grass that can be collected is extremely limited.
Now Cheng Yu's conquest of grain is no longer a 'conquest', but a robbery.
Of course, if you can grab enough food by force, it's nothing.
However, Yingchuan had already been squeezed dry.
Nine out of ten houses in the county were empty, and all the aristocratic families who could escape had already fled.
Those who could not escape lived with the refugees in the countryside, eating grass roots and tree bark.
What Cheng Xu is doing now is to arrest these refugees in the countryside.
……
Yingchuan County, Kunyang County.
The scout team of the Qingqi Battalion followed Cao Jun in front of them.
There are a hundred people in Cao's army. At this time, they are driving nearly a thousand refugees.
The refugees are men and women, old and young, all hungry and skinny, with no food on their faces.
"Which batch is this?"
"Today’s fourth batch"
"What did Cao Jun want to do by gathering so many refugees?"
"Do you want to imitate your lord and let the refugees consume our army’s arrows?"
"Impossible, these people also consume a lot of food every day, how could Cao Jun get so much food."
The scouts of the Qingqi Battalion watched from a distance and discussed in a low voice.
"hurry up!"
"I need food when I get to the city."
After Cao Jun took nearly a thousand refugees into the city, they brought them to a mansion in the city.
This mansion was once owned by a wealthy family.
Now the blood in the mansion is soaring, and the ground is covered with blood.
Everyone who was brought to the mansion The refugees were all tied to wooden stakes and their mouths were covered.
What awaited them was the sharp knife of Cao Jun. They killed the refugees and made preserved meat from the refugees into military rations to supply the entire army.
This is Cheng Yu Military rations collected for Cao Cao.
