The materials in Xingyang city are not only accumulated when the princes discussed Dong Zhuo, but also the grain and grass of several cities around Xingyang have been transported to Xingyang for more than a year. Therefore, the present Xingyang city can be said to be enough for people to guard the city for several years. For this county, Huaxiong is also very confused about whether to attack.
Zhao Yun nodded. When the situation of Xingyang was in Luoyang, the shadow guard had already told everyone about it.
However, now Nanyang and Sizhou have reached a consensus that the generals in Xingyang city will still cooperate if they know what they are interested in. Of course, it does not rule out that Xingyang and other city guards are stubborn, so Zhao Yun does not mind killing several county officials. Thinking of this, Zhao Yun motioned Hua Xiong to continue.
Seeing this, Hua Xiong continued: "it's still easy to say that the rest of the cities have about 6000 to 8000 taxi soldiers, and they are all new recruits more than a year ago. In addition, they don't practice frequently, so their ranks are not very high."
As soon as Zhao Yun heard this, he knew the situation of Zhucheng very well. This is basically consistent with the news that shadowguard sent back years ago. It seems that these people are really fearless.
After Hua Xiong introduced the situation of the cities in Guandong, the generals deliberated and decided to send troops to Xingyang tomorrow. If the garrison of Xingyang would hand over the city, it would be all right. If Nanyang army didn't cooperate, it would encircle Xingyang instead of attack, and attack the cities south of Xingyang first. At that time, the captured generals will be escorted to Xingyang City, beheaded and displayed to the public, killing chickens and respecting monkeys.
as for the troops and horses, Zhao Yun's intention is that the war barracks of the tiger's prison are dispatched by Zhao Cen and the Xialong cavalry of Hua Xiong. Zhao Yun's fifteen thousand soldiers from Luoyang bring together a school soldier to guard the customs with the tiger guards.
After everything is arranged, all the generals will take orders. After a night's rest in hulaoguan, the army set out to Xingyang county the next day.
Sure enough, as Zhao Yun expected, Xingyang garrison generals Qiao Rui and Zhang Ling refused to hand over the city on the ground that they had not received an order from the general after Nanyang. Zhao Yun was not angry, but ordered the army to camp. He led Baima Yicong and shiwanlong Xiangying army to stay outside Xingyang City, while the rest of the troops were led by Huaxiong to the south of Beijing County.
As for the ten thousand garrison in Xingyang, Zhao Yun had five thousand white horses and ten thousand dragon troops. He was not afraid of the big army in the city going out to fight. If Qiao Rui and others lead the army to fight, it will also hit Zhao Yun's heart.
Sure enough, Sizhou army did not attack Xingyang, but sent Huaxiong to lead tens of thousands of troops to the south. Qiao Rui's face changed greatly. At first, they thought that the Sizhou army would attack Xingyang in anger, and they would teach them a lesson. But they did not expect that the other party had left 15000 soldiers outside the city, but sent the army to attack other counties.
In other words, the reason why general Qiao Ruiji didn't want to hand over the city was due to Yuan Shu's small temperament. For more than a year, they could be said to be the local emperors of Xingyang city. They were very comfortable in Xingyang city. Now they suddenly received a general's order that Xingyang City would be handed over to the management of Sizhou people. So they were not happy and just worried It's just trying to put it off for a few days.
I didn't expect Zhao Yun to put them in such an awkward position. If they were allowed to fight, they didn't have the courage at all. The war in Luoyang had already come. Ji Ling was defeated and captured in Sizhou army. They thought they were far inferior to Ji Ling, so they didn't have the courage to fight at all.
Besides, there are five thousand white horses out there. They are five thousand cavalry. There are only ten thousand soldiers in the city, and all of them are soldiers. They dare not go out.
When Zhao Yun led the army to camp under the city, Huaxiong led tens of thousands of troops to Jingxian County in the south of Xingyang. Since they joined Huangfu Chaobo, they haven't experienced any war. This time, they didn't take advantage of Huangfu Chaobo's chance to be the governor of Pingdong general. They really don't have any chance of promotion. This time, the Lord obviously took care of them. He only needed two men to fight a few battles and capture a few county towns, and then he could make a lot of military contributions.
All the way, the army rushed to the capital town at noon the next day. After the army had had Chinese food, Huaxiong sent people to persuade them to surrender. Unexpectedly, the magistrate and the captain of the capital County ignored them. They saw that they came from the yuan family, who was the fourth and third Duke behind them. Huangfu Chaobo did not dare to do anything to himself.
What? You said that Xiao Yuan Gonggang and Huangfu Chaobo had a big fight in Luoyang. It was a good fight, but you didn't see that Huangfu Chaobo was lucky enough to capture general Ji of Yuan Gong, but he didn't dare to kill him. Is he just locked up in Luoyang now? What does this mean? It means that Huangfu didn't dare to offend Yuan Gong. What's more, although Yuan Gong has ordered several cities in Guandong to be returned to Sizhou this time, doesn't it imply that we can't have a good time?
Hua Xiong and Zhao Cen were overjoyed by the attitude of the officials and generals in Jing County. There was no mistake. They were overjoyed. They looked at each other and laughed. Finally they could fight.
There were 15000 soldiers in the three schools. Huaxiong Zhao Cen and longxiangying's deputy general Zuo school led one school's army and each was responsible for the attack of one wall. From their point of view, they have tens of thousands of excellent soldiers, and there are only 5000 soldiers in the city. If there is a shortage of one in three, just start working.
With Hua Xiong's order, the battle drum of the Chinese army in the forward was sounded. Under the leadership of three generals, the soldiers of the barracks, who had already prepared the siege equipment, launched an attack on Jing County.Although the county magistrate and the county captain fought to the death, in the face of the Sizhou army, which was three times as many as their own and more than twice as powerful, the battle in Jingxian county was over in less than an hour. Huaxiong array killed the county captain, and then the county soldiers were defeated. In the cry of "surrender will not kill", Jingxian County announced the change of ownership.
After that, the army moved into the county. On the one hand, Hua Xiong sent people to take over the city temporarily, on the other hand, he sent people to Xingyang city to report the victory to Zhao Yun. The next step is to count the losses and the gains in the city. Although Hua Xiong can't bear to do these things, he is the head of the forward. He can only do these things with patience.
After a night's rest in Jingxian County, Huaxiong sent 1000 Xiliang cavalry to escort all the nearly 4000 soldiers captured in Jingxian county to Zhaoyun camp outside Xingyang City, and sent 3000 soldiers to defend Jingxian county.
Hua Xiong himself led the army to the South and headed for Mi County. Of course, along with the army, there were the heads of the generals of Jingxian County, while the county magistrate and the prisoners were sent to Zhao Yun's army.
