Chapter 899

Forty thousand Cao's troops worked together. On that night, they dug out two ditches to limit the city and the garrison in the city. Moreover, many antlers were set up in many places.

In this way, with the restriction of ditches and antlers, even the Xiliang iron cavalry could hardly break through the encirclement, let alone the soldiers of Yanzhou army in the city.

"Mancheng, Ben Xiang is gone, and everything will be left to you." Cao Cao, riding on a dark horse, told Xia Hou yuan. This horse is very beautiful, named "jueying", which means that even the shadow can't catch up with the fast one. It is said that during the war of Wancheng, Zhang Xiu descended and rebelled again and attacked Cao Cao secretly. He rode the horse and fled for his life. After jueying hit three arrows, she could still run fast and finally escaped with Cao Cao.

Li Dian clasped his fist and said, "please rest assured that the prime minister will not be allowed to leave here at the end of the day."

Cao Cao nodded his head with satisfaction. Li Dian was mature in character. Although his offensive ability was insufficient, he was mature and prudent. He was still at ease to intercept Yu ban.

Although Xia Houyuan is a general who can be in charge of one's own affairs, he is more offensive and less defensive. When Xia Houyuan was ordered by Cao Cao to pacify Guanzhong, he successively destroyed Song Jian and defeated Ma Chao. He was known as the right side of Hubu pass. With one hand's rapid maneuvering, Xia Houyuan defeated all the princes in Guanzhong.

As a result, when Xia Houyuan was killed by Huang Zhong at Dingjun mountain, the Cao army in Hanzhong had no control. If Zhang jaw had not come forward to be commander-in-chief temporarily, Cao's army would have collapsed.

After leaving Li Dian to besiege Zhencheng, Cao Cao immediately waved his hand and said, "the whole army will attack Luoyang."

Thirty thousand Cao troops left Zhencheng and headed west.

And the Yanzhou army in the city also found the ditch outside the city at this time, and quickly reported the ban.

"General Yu, Cao's army dug two ditches one after another outside the city and set up many antlers to surround the city."

"Oh?"

Yu Jin did not dare to neglect, so he quickly led his own guards to the head of the city and observed it in person.

Only two ditches, one narrow and one wide, surrounded the entire Zhen City inside and outside, surrounded by deer antlers, which made it more difficult for the enemy to break through.

"No!"

Xu Shu watched the enemy's camp and suddenly his face changed greatly.

"What's the matter, master?" Yu Jin doubted.

Xu Shu said with a gloomy face: "General Yu, Cao's troops seem to be separated from the army. There are not many troops in the camp now."

Yu Jin doubted: "how can we see it?"

"General, look!"

Xu Shu pointed to the continuous Cao army barracks outside the city and said, "the barracks outside the city are full of birds. If the army is in the camp and vigorous, how can there be birds on the camp?"

When the army marches, the plants and plants are startled. The birds and animals dare not get close to them. Because the huge army is like a beast or a predator in their eyes, how can small animals dare to approach the beast?

Yu Jin's face changed greatly: "so, Cao Cao's army has withdrawn from Zhen City and attacked Yanzhou?"

Xu Shu said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid Cao Cao's military front has already pointed to Hulao pass!"

Yu Jin said angrily, "no, this will have to send troops to test."

"Ma tie, you lead Xiliang cavalry, sun Liru leads 3000 troopers to battle to see how the enemy moves."

"Here it is

"Here it is

Sun Li and General Ma Tieer immediately led a thousand Xiliang cavalry and 3000 soldiers to open the gate and kill them.

However, as soon as the 4000 troopers opened the gate and killed them, the first ditch became their obstacle.

At this time, the Cao army also opened the camp gate, and 5000 Cao troops killed out of the camp.

"Intercept the enemy and do not let them kill out of the camp!" Li Dian exclaimed, his white face was full of dignity. Although Li Dian was a military general, he was fond of learning and reading in ordinary days. Therefore, he was called an elder in the army and won popular support.

Two thousand archers immediately arrived at the antlers, and Yanzhou army opened their bows and set up their arrows. The arrows flew out.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two thousand arrows flew out of the bow string. After four thousand steps of riding, they fell down with their heads and faces. Suddenly, the sound of the arrow falling to the ground was heard.

"Ah

Four thousand steps were crossing the first ditch. As a result, the first round of arrows and rain came, killing and injuring hundreds of people.

"Raise the shield, raise the shield!" Sun Li cheered.

At the same time, Sun Li and Ma tie yelled for four thousand steps to quickly cross the first ditch. After several rounds of the enemy's arrow rain, they finally got over the first ditch.

"Cross the second ditch, now!"

Naturally, the faster the Yanzhou army moves, the better. Because the enemy's arrows are covetous here, countless arrows fall from the sky. As long as they have not reached the enemy's front, they are passively attacked.

"Faster, faster!" Sun Li snapped.

At this time, Li Dian also ordered: "after the infantry arrived at the antler immediately, repulse the enemy!"Under the command of Li Dian, the 3000 troopers immediately occupied the favorable terrain and stood behind the antlers, waiting for the battle. The two thousand archers in the rear were pouring down the arrow rain in succession. Although it was said that there were only three shots in front of the enemy, the enemy had to cross the ditch, which wasted a lot of time. Therefore, in this short period of time, 2000 archers had poured out five rounds of arrows, enough 10000 arrows were shot out, and Rao was holding up a leather shield to cover, but Yanzhou army had been killed and wounded 800 times Many people.

Standing on the top of the city, Yu Jin could not help but frown.

"Call it quits!"

Yu ban frowned and said, "it's just a matter of damaging the lives of soldiers. For the time being, I'll order them to return to the city and make a dispute."

More than 800 people have been damaged by the 4000 step cavalry. At least the enemy can send out five rounds of arrow rain. In this way, nearly half of the enemy's cavalry will be damaged in a single 4000 step. The enemy still has 5000 soldiers and there are still army horses in the camp. Isn't this a search for death?

Dangdang!

"The general has an order, take back the troops and return to the camp!"

Ma tie shouts to Sun Li: "Sun Xiaowei, stop the army."

"Damn it!"

Sun Li clenched his teeth and said helplessly, "the whole army retreats!"

As a result, the remaining three thousand steps had to go back against the arrow rain of the Cao army, climb the first ditch again, and retreat back to Zhen City in distress.

"General, the enemy is retreating." One side of the taxi to report.

Li Dian nodded gently: "very good. From today on, our army is divided into two parts. They garrison behind the antlers in turn. When the enemy troops come out, they will shoot back. He would have been entrusted by the prime minister. In any case, there should be no loss. The enemy must not be allowed to come out of the city. "

"Here it is

Li Dian stares at the head of Zhen City, her face unchanged.
