Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty - Chapter 1017

Pengcheng, late at night.

Most of the ordinary people were already asleep at this time, but the prime minister’s residence was still brightly lit. Cao Cao handled the upper and lower official documents. At this moment, he was in his prime of life, and he was full of energy for working all night long. However, Cao Cao frowned deeply, because the deterioration of the situation in recent days was indeed beyond his expectation.

Cao Cao felt a deep sense of fatigue. To know the battle of Guandu, he wanted to retreat. He wrote to Xun Yu and wanted to retreat to Xudu. Now facing Liu Ye’s offensive is more difficult than facing Yuan Shao. Suffering, naturally can’t support it.

“The prime minister, the prime minister!”

There was a footstep outside the door, and Cao Cao raised his head when he heard the sound, “Wonderful talent, what’s wrong?”

“Prime Minister, Xiapi City was attacked by the Xiliang Army!” Xiahou Yuan said anxiously.

“What, how could the Xiliang Army appear in Xiapi?” Cao Cao frowned when he heard this.

“Quickly tell the prime minister.” Xia Houyuan shouted to the **** Cao Jun dead soldier.

“The Prime Minister, the enemy general Zhang Jai led an army suddenly appeared under the city of Xiapi. The water that was blocked on all sides could not leak out. The eldest son organized hundreds of people to break through. I waited hard to get out. Now Zhang Jai is attacking the city of Xiapi every day. It’s in danger, please the prime minister quickly send troops to rescue!” the dead man shouted.

“what?”

Cao Cao’s expression suddenly changed: “The enemy army appeared under the city of Xiapi?”

Cao Cao also didn’t understand, how did Zhang Jai appear under Xiapi City? Can the counties such as Guangling in the east resist it?

“The Prime Minister! The letter from Guangling Prefect Chen!”

Cao Cao frowned and unfolded the letter, his expression darkened.

“Prime Minister, what did Chen Deng’s letter say?” Xia Houyuan asked hurriedly.

“Chen Deng said that the Xiliang army landed in Dongling, and his Danyang soldiers were all held by the Xiliang army in Dongling, unable to rescue Picheng.” Cao Cao said solemnly.

“Damn it! Chen Deng clearly doesn’t want to work hard, hum!” Xia Houyuan said angrily.

“I didn’t expect the situation to be such a crisis. I really didn’t expect it, alas…” Cao Cao sighed.

“Prime Minister, what should our army do for the current plan?” Xia Houyuan asked hurriedly.

“…”

After Cao Cao was silent for a long time, he made a decision: “Order Zilian to lead the Qingzhou garrison to go south, Miao Cairu as the vanguard, and rush to assist Xiapi with 20,000 troops, and alone lead the army as a backup!”

Xia Houyuan was shocked when he heard the words: “So, is our army planning to abandon Pengcheng?”

“Ten thousand people are left in Pengcheng to delay the offensive of the Xiliang Army, and the rest will all go to Xiapi.” Cao Cao said solemnly: “This time, we will not hesitate to casualties. Our army and Zilian will besiege Zhangja with no hesitation. In the field battle of the enemy, the jaws must be completely destroyed, so let’s talk about the way of abolishing jaws first!”

In fact, Cao Cao faced Liu Ye’s offensive, avoiding field battles as much as possible, but using defensive warfare to consume Liu Ye’s strength and attempt to counterattack. But this time I had to do it. Once Zhang Jai Army couldn’t be eliminated, when Zhang Jai and Liu Ye met, the crisis couldn’t be saved.

“Send my order and start acting immediately tonight. The soldiers are very fast.”

“Here!”

In the evening, Xia Houyuan set off first and led the 20,000 Cao army. Xia Houyuan’s marching speed is known as the first among Cao’s generals. He is best at rapid marching. Therefore, Cao Cao sent him as the vanguard to urgently rescue Xia Pi.

Qingzhou, Beihai.

“What, there is danger in Xiapi City?”

When Cao Hong saw Cao Cao’s autograph letter, he immediately waved his hand: “The whole army will go south, hurry!”

In the direction of Pengcheng and Qingzhou, the two Cao armies set off separately and converged in the direction of Xia Pi. Cao Cao led the army as backup and then set off.

“General, according to the sentinel’s intelligence, a large number of Cao Jun in Pengcheng went eastward and gathered in the direction of Xiangpi.” Guo Jia reported to Liu Ye.

“Oh? The enemy didn’t intend to cast doubt on the formation and attract our army?” Liu Ye frowned.

“General! Zhang Zhengnan has sent troops to surround Xiapi City, and is now attacking it day and night!”

“Oh?”

As soon as Liu Ye’s mind turned, he immediately understood: “Gu understands, no wonder a large number of Cao troops headed east, intending to strengthen Xiapi!”

“Since Cao Cao took the initiative to abandon Pengcheng and support Xia Pi, he might have sent Qingzhou Cao Hongjun to the south, planning to fight a time gap with our army and encircle and annihilate the Zhangja army first.” Guo Jia calculated: “Our army can leave a man to continue. Siege of Pengcheng, the general personally led his army to the east, joined forces with Zhang Junyi, and had a decisive battle with Cao Cao! This was a good opportunity. Cao Cao knew that our army was strong, so he always consumed our army with defensive battles. Now that I am determined to prepare for the field battle, I must not miss it.”

Liu Ye nodded and shouted: “The generals follow the order!”

“The end will be!”

“Yu Jin, Sun Li, and Ru two commanders of 30,000, continue to besiege Xiaoxian County and Pengcheng Cao army, absolutely cannot release the enemy.”

Yu Jin hugged his fist and said: “Please rest assured, the general will never miss one person.”

Liu Ye nodded: “This general led an army of 70,000, and marched in the direction of Pi, ready to fight Cao Cao to the death. Ma Chao and Ma Tieru led 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and Jia Xu accompanied the army counselor.”

Ma Chao clasped his fist and said, “Here!”

Liu Ye nodded in satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: “Everyone, if nothing else, this should be the last battle for our army to unify the world. As long as this battle is over, you will all be famous ZTE generals of the Han Dynasty, no less than The twenty-eight generals of Guangwu Yuntai, the opportunity to stay in history, you should take good advantage of it.”

The generals of the Xiliang Army were full of confidence after hearing this.

“The whole army set off!”

Yu Jin led the 30,000 Xiliang Army to besiege Pengcheng and Xiaoxian, while Liu Ye personally led 70,000 paces to the east for reinforcements.

Outside the city of Xiapi.

“attack!”

“kill!”

More than 40,000 Xiliang army shouted and killed like a mountain whistling a tsunami, launching a full-scale attack on the city of Xiapi. I saw tens of thousands of Xiliang army pushing the ladder truck and the crashed cars rushing forward. The bump wood on the crashed car hit the city gate severely. The ladder truck pushed under the city wall and opened immediately, and the hook on it grabbed it. To the head of the city.

Tens of thousands of Xiliang army shouted loudly, biting the ring knife in their mouths, and using both hands and feet to climb on the ladder, fast.

And under the city head, there are also thousands of archers shooting their bows and shooting at the top of the city head. Countless arrows intertwined in the air into an airtight network, suppressing the defenders on Xiapi City to death.

“Fight back, fight back, fast!”

On the head of the city, Cao Ang personally swung his sword to supervise the battle and called on the Cao Jun to fight back. However, as soon as Cao Jun’s archer showed his head, he was immediately suppressed by the dense arrows and retracted his head again. The number of Xiliang army is four times that of Cao army, which puts considerable pressure on Cao army.
