Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty - Chapter 994

Chapter 994

“What? General Xiahou was beheaded?”

“Then what are we fighting? Run!”

“Just run, idiot, just surrender? If you run away and get overtaken by the enemy, can you survive?”

After the remaining Cao Jun saw Zhang Fei beheading the flag, he basically gave up resistance, either surrendered or fled, and never dared to be an enemy of Yuzhou Army.

“Second brother, third brother, good job!”

Liu Bei gave a compliment and then turned his eyes to the east.

“I don’t know if Zilong can catch Xiahou Dun? If that’s the case, then Huainan’s affairs are settled.”

…

“Chasing! Those who catch Xiahou Dun, reward the daughter, and seal the honor!”

Tatata!

Hearing such a great reward, Xiliang Iron Cavalry was naturally ecstatic, with greedy eyes, speeding up and urging the horses to chase Xiahou Dun and his party.

“The one-eyed one is Xiahou Dun, you must catch Xiahou Dun!”

Cao Jun cavalry ran in front, Xiliang cavalry was chasing behind, and Xiliang cavalry in the back row also used cavalry from time to time, and Cao Jun cavalry would fall down.

“Uncle, I ordered the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to launch a suicidal charge against the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Let’s get rid of the enemy quickly, rush to the city of Hefei, and then rely on Hefei to hold on and stop the enemy!”

“What? But these tiger and leopard riders are all your hard work for many years.” Xiahou Dun frowned.

“If you die well, if you don’t sacrifice them, Huainan won’t be able to keep it!”

Cao Zhen said fiercely, “The tiger and the leopard ride around and charge me!”

The loyal Tiger and Leopard Cavaliers immediately turned around and launched a suicidal charge against the Xiliang Iron Cavaliers.

“Kill!”

Zhao Yun frowned: “The first song, let go of the arrow.”

Whoosh whoosh!

Thousands of arrows rushed towards the head. The tiger rider in heavy armor was okay, but the leopard rider without heavy armor on his body was unlucky. It was lucky to escape the dense rain of arrows. The good ones were shot through the body by the oncoming arrows and fell off the horse.

However, Tiger Leopard Cavalry did not seem to have emotions, and continued to charge towards the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, all indifferent to life and death.

“kill!”

Finally, the two armies collided face-to-face, and the tiger cavalry plunged into the Xiliang cavalry like a sharp knife. With sophisticated equipment and superb martial arts, it abruptly blocked the offensive of the Xiliang cavalry.

“The second and third songs encircle the enemy and fight, don’t stop the first song, continue to chase the enemy, hurry!”

Zhao Yun was naturally unwilling to let go of the big fish Xiahou Dun, if he could catch Xiahou Dun, the whole Huainan would be able to calm down. Therefore, Zhao Yun ordered thousands of people and horses to surround the tiger and leopard in the second and third songs, and he personally led the first song capable of riding and shooting, and followed Xiahou Dun, Cao Zhen and others. She refused to let it go.

Zhao Yun led people to chase after him, Xiahoudun, Cao Zhen and others naturally exploded at a rate of 120% under threat. And because there was no tiger cavalry wearing heavy armor, Cao Jun’s cavalry’s speed was naturally improved, and they ran forward quickly.

After chasing for a whole day and night, Xiahou Dun and others were lucky and rushed into the city of Hefei at a critical moment, which made Zhao Yungong fall short.

“Oh! It’s a pity that Xiahou Dun could not be caught.”

When Zhang Fei heard Zhao Yun’s narration, he couldn’t help but sighed, which was quite a pity.

“It’s okay, now the main force of the Cao army is defeated, and the strength of the remaining cities is quite limited. Our army can attack the counties calmly and gradually calm Huainan.” Liu Bei smiled and comforted Zhao Yun.

“Yun Chang.”

“Yes, what do you want from Brother?” Guan Yu clasped his fist.

“You led an army with 10,000 to besiege Shouchun, you must take Shouchun.” Liu Bei ordered.

Xiahoudun led the 40,000 Cao army and almost attacked Liu Bei, but he still left thousands of Cao Jun guarding Shouchun just in case. It is regarded as a nail that Cao Jun put in Shouchun. Han Hao is the chief coach. Shouchun is the No. If a city wins Shouchun, the impact on Huainan will be subversive.

“Zilong, please leave a thousand cavalry to help Yun Chang, how about the remaining cavalry with the main force of our army?” Liu Bei begged Zhao Yun.

“Since Liu Shijun said so, I naturally agreed.” Zhao Yun nodded.

“Okay, my third disciple, Zilong and I led the remaining 20,000 troops and horses to attack the counties of Yangzhou and sweep Huainan!”

Liu Bei’s Yuzhou Army was divided into two ranks. Guan Yu led 10,000 horses and 1,000 cavalry to besiege Shouchun City. They attacked day by day without giving the enemy troops in the city a respite. The Cao army was under great pressure.

Originally, the army that Xiahou Dun left Han Hao was very weak, and it was only enough to defend the city. The only good news was that because there were only less than 3,000 men and horses left in the city, there was only enough food and grass for 40,000 troops to eat for ten days. , It is enough for Han Haojun’s military use in March and April.

However, Han Hao’s military strength was too weak. Under Guan Yu’s attack, he was losing more and more, and eventually he couldn’t support it. In particular, the defenders in the city had witnessed Xiahou Dun’s main force being defeated by the Yuzhou Army. They had already had no fighting spirit. Under the encouragement of Han Hao, they finally could not support it after a few days.

One night, the defenders in the city couldn’t bear it anymore, and they simply opened the city gate to surrender at night, but Han Hao had not reacted yet, and had been **** by the rebels and sent to Guan Yu.

“Are you willing to surrender?” Guan Yu said with a cold tone, stroking the long beard.

Han Hao sighed and lowered his head: “Hao is willing to come down.”

Guan Yu nodded in satisfaction: “Untie it.”

Han Hao’s surrender caused Shouchun City to fall into the hands of the Yuzhou Army, which was a major blow to Cao Jun.

After Xiahoudun, Cao Zhen and others fled to the city of Hefei, they immediately recruited young men to defend the city. At the same time, they ordered Cao Jun of all counties around Hefei to move closer to Hefei, putting on a posture of intending to defend Hefei firmly.

However, Liu Bei did not attack Hefei City for the first time. Instead, he divided his troops and put down the cities of Lujiang, Jiujiang, Lu’an and other counties, and finally gathered troops to surround Hefei City.

Hefei City is very strong, connected to Chaohu Lake, and convenient transportation. It is the hub of Jiujiang County, and Shouchun is actually located in the northwest of Jiujiang County. On the contrary, the city of Hefei is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

“Liu Shijun, when the Huaiyin Marquis came out and attacked Chencang, he suppressed the Three Qin Dynasty, and besieged Yongwang Zhanghan in the abandoned hill for eight months, besieging but not attacking, and then sent troops to attack Zhanghan.”

Zhao Yun suggested: “Our army might as well emulate the strategy of the Huaiyin Marquis and siege Hefei without attacking. Huainan has been settled. Our army only needs to wait for the victory of other soldiers and horses, and no longer need to damage the soldiers.”

The siege is to fill the lives of soldiers, and Liu Bei also praised this: “Zilong said very well, so it is naturally better to save the lives of soldiers.”
