Chapter 1017

Pengcheng, late at night.

At this time, most of the ordinary people have fallen asleep, but the prime minister's office is still full of lights. Cao Cao is dealing with the official documents. He is in the prime minister's prime minister's prime minister's office. He is in the prime minister's prime minister's prime minister's office. However, Cao Cao frowned deeply, because the deterioration of the situation in recent days was beyond his expectation.

Cao Cao felt a deep sense of fatigue. During the war of Guandu, he wanted to shrink back and write to Xun Yu to retreat to Xudu. Now, facing Liu Ye's attack, he was more difficult than facing Yuan Shao. Naturally, he couldn't support it.

"Prime minister, Prime Minister!"

At the sound of footsteps outside, Cao Cao raised his head and said, "miaocai, what's the matter?"

"Prime minister, xiapi city is attacked by Xiliang army!" Xia Hou yuan was in a hurry.

"What, how could the Xiliang army appear in xiapi?" Cao Cao's brows wrinkled when he heard the speech.

"Tell the prime minister quickly." Xia Houyuan cheered on the bloody Cao soldiers.

"Prime minister, the enemy general Zhang jaw and his army suddenly appeared under the city of xiapi, surrounded by water. The eldest son organized hundreds of people to break through the encirclement. We managed to kill them. Now Zhang jaw attacks xiapi city day and day, and xiapi is in danger. Please send troops to rescue quickly!" The dead man exclaimed.

"What?"

Cao Cao's face suddenly changed: "the enemy troops appear under the city of xiapi?"

Cao Cao also some don't understand, Zhang jaw is how to appear under the city of xiapi? Can't Guangling and other counties in the East resist it?

"Prime minister! There is a letter from Chen Taishou of Guangling! "

Cao Cao frowned and unfolded his letter, which made his face even darker.

"Prime minister, what did Chen Deng say in his letter?" Xia Hou yuan asked in a hurry.

"Chen Deng said that the Xiliang army landed in Dongling, and his Danyang soldiers were trapped by the Xiliang army in Dongling and could not rescue xiapi city." Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"Damn it! Chen Deng clearly doesn't want to contribute, hum! " Xia Hou Yuan said angrily.

"I didn't expect the situation to be in such a crisis. I didn't expect that, alas..." Cao Cao sighed.

"Prime minister, what should our army do for the present?" Xia Hou yuan asked in a hurry.

"..."

after a long silence, Cao Cao made a decision: "order Zi lian to lead the Qingzhou garrison to the south, miaocai Ru as the vanguard, led 20000 troops to rush to xiapi, alone led the army as the backup!"

Xia Houyuan heard the speech and was shocked: "so, is our army going to give up Pengcheng?"

"Ten thousand people were left in Pengcheng to delay the attack of the Xiliang army, and all the others went to xiapi." Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "this time, at the expense of casualties, our army and Zilian's two armies have joined forces to besiege Zhang jaw. We will not hesitate to fight with the enemy in the field, but we must completely destroy Zhang jaw. We will first abandon the whole way of Zhang jaw!"

In fact, when Cao Cao faced Liu Ye's attack, he tried to avoid field combat as much as possible. Instead, he consumed Liu Ye's strength with defensive warfare and plotted a counter offensive. But this time, we have to do it. Once Zhang's army can't be eliminated, when Zhang jaw meets Liu Ye, the crisis will not be saved.

"Give me the order to start the operation immediately tonight, and the troops will be very fast."

"Here it is

In the evening of that day, Xia Houyuan set out first and led 20000 Cao troops. Xia Houyuan's marching speed was the first among Cao's generals, and his best skill was rapid march. Therefore, Cao Cao sent him as a pioneer to rescue xiapi.

Qingzhou, Beihai.

"What's the danger?"

When you see Cao Hong, you can write a letter by yourself

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

"General, according to the intelligence of the sentry, there are a large number of Cao troops going out of Pengcheng and gathering in the direction of xiapi." Guo Jia reports to Liu Ye.

"Oh? The enemy is not going to set up doubts to attract our troops? " Liu Ye frowned.

"General! Zhang Zhengnan has sent troops to encircle xiapi city and is now attacking day and night! "

"Oh?"

As soon as Liu Ye's brain turns, he suddenly understands: "I understand. No wonder a large number of Cao troops are going to the east to reinforce xiapi!"

"Since Cao Cao gave up Pengcheng on his own initiative and supported xiapi, he might have sent Cao Hong's army in Qingzhou to March southward. He intended to fight against our army for a short time, and first encircle and annihilate Zhang's army." Guo Jia reckoned: "our army can leave a team of men and horses to continue to besiege Pengcheng. The general personally leads his troops to the East and joins forces with Zhang Jianyi to fight against Cao Cao! This is a good opportunity. Cao Cao knew that our army was powerful, so he always consumed our army's strength by defending the city. Now he has made up his mind to prepare for the field war, and he must not miss it. "

Liu Ye nodded and ordered, "all generals will listen to the orders."

"The end will be there!"

"Yu Jin, Sun Li and you, who are in charge of 30000 troops, will continue to besiege the Cao army in Xiaoxian and Pengcheng, and will never release the enemy."

"Please don't worry, the general will never miss a person."

Liu Ye nodded: "Ben will personally lead the army of 70000, March in the direction of xiapi, ready to fight against Cao Cao. Ma Chao and Ma Tieru led ten thousand cavalry as the vanguard, and Jia Xu joined the army as a counselor. "Ma Chao clasped his fist and said, "here

Liu Ye nodded his head with satisfaction and said in a deep voice: "gentlemen, if there is no accident, this should be the last battle for our army to unify the world. As long as this war is over, you are all famous generals of the Great Han Dynasty, no less than the 28 generals of Guangwu in Yuntai. You should make good use of this opportunity."

The generals of the Xiliang army all rubbed their hands and were full of confidence.

"Let's go

Yu ban led 30000 Xiliang troops to besiege Pengcheng and Xiaoxian, while Liu Ye led 70000 infantry to the East.

Outside the city of xiapi.

"Attack!"

"Kill!"

More than 40000 Xiliang troops broke out with shouts and murders, like a mountain calling tsunami, launched a comprehensive attack on xiapi city. Tens of thousands of Xiliang troops pushed the ladder cars and the crash vehicles to rush forward. The impact wood on the crash hit the city gate hard. The ladder car pushed under the wall and opened immediately. The iron hook on the top caught the city head.

Tens of thousands of Xiliang troops were shouting, holding the ring head knife in their mouth and climbing on the ladder with their hands and feet at a high speed.

Under the city's head, thousands of archers set up their bows and put their arrows on top of the city. Countless arrows interweave into a dense network in the air, which suppresses the garrison in xiapi city.

"Fight back, fight back, come on!"

Cao ang, on the top of the city, personally waved his sword to supervise the battle and called on the Cao army to fight back. However, as soon as the archers of the Cao army showed up, they were immediately suppressed by the dense arrows, and then turned their heads back. The number of the Xiliang army was four times that of the Cao army, which caused great pressure on the Cao army.
