Chapter 1235： : Cao Jun pursues, Xiahouyuan swindles the East China Sea City

The heavy cavalry rushed towards the direction where Zang Ba had left, and Chen Gong, after leaving with his soldiers, chose another road to Donghai County.

Cao Ren is a very strategic general in the Cao army. After chasing for half an hour, he realized that it was wrong. Zang Ba could not just lead the cavalry to leave. In Xiapi City, there were a lot of footmen, some of which were even Zang. The soldiers that Ba brought over from the East China Sea, even if the situation in Xiapi City was critical, Zang Ba would not give up these soldiers easily.

"You led three hundred people to turn back, and you don't need to keep your hands when you meet the enemy on the way." Cao Ren ordered to the lieutenant to the side.

Although the lieutenant did not understand Cao Ren's order, he clasped his fists and called out, ordering the three hundred cavalrymen and heading away from where they came.

Just when the lieutenant led the heavy cavalry to the ambush location, Chen Gong led the infantry just left. The infantry was no better than the cavalry, and the speed of advance was much worse. Moreover, Chen Gong had to be careful of nearby invincible troops ambushing.

When the lieutenant saw there was no trace of the enemy on the way back, his face was puzzled, but since he received Cao Ren's order, he could only lead the cavalry towards Xiapi.

Although I didn't encounter the pawns led by Chen Gong, there were still a lot of pawns who escaped from the city, and the lieutenant had some gains.

Cao Ren ordered the heavy cavalry to stop pursuing, this ambush did not have the expected effect, mainly because of the speed loss, and Zang Ba obviously had a certain degree of defense.

After chasing for more than an hour, Zang Ba's cavalry was completely invisible.

"General, what should I do?" a general asked.

"Withdraw the troops! Zang Ba's servant escaped so fast, if he were replaced by a tiger and leopard rider, it would definitely make it difficult for him to get away." Cao Ren gritted his teeth.

After entering Xiapi, with the help of the family in the city, and the soldiers and horses led by Zang Ba had already left, after Cao Jun took over the city gates, the remnants of Zang Ba had been purged and the city gradually recovered stability at dawn.

Cao Cao was still quite lost without getting the food and grass in Zang Ba's hands. Today, the situation in Yanzhou is not as good as it seems. After successive wars, Cao Jun has a huge shortcoming in food and grass. Xuzhou is not stable and cannot be in food and grass. Provide support to Cao Jun.

In this battle, Zangba only had enough food and grass for March. The attack on Xia Pi was delayed for a month. If Xia Houyuan could not successfully attack Donghai County, perhaps Cao Jun would have to retreat.

Unlike Xiapi, Zang Ba occupied the East China Sea for a longer period of time, and the East China Sea and Langxie approached. Once a war broke out, Zang Ba could transfer Langxie’s troops to the East China Sea to defend against Cao’s army, and Yuan Shao’s view of Xuzhou There must be some ideas, otherwise they won't send someone to meet Zang Ba in secret.

If Zang Ba is pressed into an urgent situation, once he asks Yuan Shao for help, it is even more a hidden danger. Although Yuan Shao is defeated in Jizhou, his background cannot be ignored.

Moreover, after Xia Houyuan led the tiger and leopard rider to the East China Sea, he saw that the guards on the city were quite tight, and the people passing by at the city gate were even more orderly. There was no crowding, and their brows were frowning. If there is crowding at the city gate. A cavalry raid can have a very good effect. It is not difficult to take the East China Sea in one fell swoop. However, in today's situation, if it is a raid, it is very likely to fail. After the failure, it means that they have exposed their traces.

Xia Houyuan has a high status in the Cao army, and he is even more adept at strategy, is a wise general in the Cao army, and his own martial arts is even more impressive.

Xia Houyuan decided to wait until night fell before taking action.

Xun You’s advice to Xia Houyuan is to act according to the situation. If the East China Sea guards are rigorous, wait until dark to pretend to be a cavalry under Zang Ba and earn the city gate. If the defense is not rigorous, you can directly lead the cavalry to attack. A little negligence will be able to seize the East China Sea.

The night was like ink, and the weather looked a bit gloomy, but the guard on the city heard the rumble of horses hoofs coming from outside the city.

The generals who have experienced the battlefield are no strangers to the rumbling sound of the horse charging.

"Be careful, it may be the cavalry of the enemy!" the general shouted.

The sleepy soldier on the city wall, after hearing the movement outside the city, took out the bow and arrow.

Against the backdrop of the fire on the city wall, the gatekeeper found that the cavalry outside the city turned out to be his own cavalry.

"Quickly open the city gate, Cao Cao and the family in Xiapi city should join together outside, and capture Xiapi. I waited desperately to get out of the siege, but we separated from General Zangba, and Cao Jun's cavalry was slaying behind him." Before, the voice shouted eagerly.

The goalkeeper said: "Why didn't the city get any news before."

"The defeat was too sudden. I guess General Zangba didn't have time to inform the East China Sea defenders. Open the city gate quickly. Cao Jun is comingXiahou Yuandao.

The gatekeeper was about to give an order to open the city gate, but Wu Dun led the soldiers to the city wall. Although Wu Dun was born as a thief, he was very useful under Zang Ba. Otherwise, Zang Ba would not guard the East China Sea. The matter is handed over to Wu Dun. Wu Dun's habit is to check the soldiers on each wall before going to bed to see if they are guarding the city with their heart.

For the generals who did not follow the orders, Wu Dun did not hesitate, especially after the battle in Xia Pi started, Wu Dun even beheaded three of the school lieutenants, so that the defenders did not dare to let the slightest slack.

"General Wu is here," a soldier reminded.

The goalkeeper hurried forward and briefly explained the situation outside the city.

After Wu Dun listened, his brows frowned. The news he received yesterday was that Xia Pi was still in Zang Ba's hands. He didn't expect that this change happened in Xia Pi just one day later.

"Who is the general in the army outside the city?" Wu Dun asked cautiously.

"The humble post is a school lieutenant in the army, and luckily led the cavalry to break through the encirclement." Xia Houyuan's tone was eager, and he casually said that he was a school lieutenant. Xia Houyuan believed that as a guard, he would definitely not know him. A school lieutenant.

Wu Dun shouted, "Bring the torch closer. This general knows the cavalry lieutenant under General Zang."

Zang Ba’s cavalry has 2,000 men. Out of the cavalry's relatively strong combat capability, five school lieutenants were established. These five school lieutenants are also well-known figures under Zang Ba’s command. In terms of selecting generals, Zang Ba refers to the Union State Army, but anyone who can become a cavalry is the elite of the various soldiers, and being able to become a cavalry lieutenant is even more remarkable. Not only Wu Dun, it can be said that most of the generals in the army know Zang. A cavalry lieutenant under the dominion.
