Chapter 140

Outside Huaiyin, Xuzhou, in a valley, a cavalry is quietly approaching. The leader is a general in silver armour, Zhao Yun.

At this time, Zhao Yun has already led the way to the mouth of the valley. Not far from the mouth of the valley is Huaiyin City. Zhao Yun's eyes are firmly fixed on the city on the horizon in front of him, instead of flashing light.

According to the servant of MI Zhen who came with the army, the general of the city is Cao Chun, the younger brother of Cao Ren, Cao Cao's senior general. There are more than 3000 garrisons in the city. Zhao Yun, as the vanguard of attacking Xuzhou this time, is not difficult to win Huaiyin City, but the difficulty lies in taking Huaiyin City quickly. Xia Houdun of Pengcheng can not have time to ask Cao Jun of Yanzhou and Qingzhou for help.

According to MI Zhen, Cao Cao left more than 20000 troops in Xuzhou. Huaiyin City is the border with the south of Xuzhou, so there are 3000 garrisons. Besides Pengcheng, Xiaopei and xiapi, the other cities are only a few hundred. Xiaopei and xiapi have 5000 troops respectively, while Pengcheng has more than 7000 troops. However, Pengcheng has not only Cao Cao's garrison, but also more than 3000 soldiers of the Chen family. The Chen family's master Chen Yi and his son Chen Deng were the masterminds of the rebellion against Tao Qian a year ago, and they would certainly help Cao's garrison the city.

However, it is obvious that the news that Chen Ren led the new army into Xuzhou has not been known by Cao Jun, and the gate of Huaiyin City is still open as usual. Zhao Yun inspected the distance. If he was rushing with all his strength, he still had no chance to get to the gate before the other party closed the gate.

If you can't win by force, you have to take by wisdom. Zhao Yun looked at the people who came into the city sparsely in front of him. His eyes turned and he immediately whispered, "where is Duan Yu?"

After a while, a general ran out of the cavalry behind him, clasped his fist at Zhao Yun, and said, "the end will be in!" Duan Yu, however, was a general sent by Sun Jian to the new army before. After passing the examination of Dong attack, he was assigned to Zhao Yun's Thunderstorm riding by Chen Ren and became a team leader with 50 cavalry under him.

Zhao Yun said to Duan Yu, "take off all your armor weapons with your men, wrap them up with parcels, put them on the horse's back, put on the clothes of ordinary people, and go to the gate to pretend to be a caravan!"

As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, Duan Yu immediately called his men to do what Zhao Yun said. After staying in the new army for less than a month, Duan Yu knew that the most important military rule of the new army was to obey orders.

Zhao Yun nodded and continued: "very good! When you get to the gate of the city, do it immediately! In any case, we must guard the gate before we arrive. Can you do that? " When Zhao Yun asks for the last word, he stares at Duan Yu tightly. As long as he has the slightest hesitation, Zhao Yun will immediately change to another group of people.

However, Duan Yu was originally selected by Sun Jian to join the new army, and he was also a few officials who had passed the examination of Dong attack. Naturally, his ability and courage were no worse. He immediately clasped his fist and said, "please rest assured that your humble position will complete the task."

Zhao Yun nodded with satisfaction, and after Duan Yu took people to prepare, he asked him to take more than 50 people who had been dressed up as caravans to set out in front of Huaiyin City. Moreover, he ordered the remaining thunderstorm riders to be ready at any time. As soon as Duan Yu arrived at the gate of the city, he would begin to attack.

Duan Yu, who was entrusted with an important task for the first time, behaved well without being too nervous. With 50 of his subordinates, he moved towards the target city of Huaiyin. As the target city became closer and closer, Duan Yu became more and more relaxed. Looking up, I can see that there are not many ordinary people outside Huaiyin City. There are about 20 garrisons at the gate of the city, and there are more than 10 guards on the head of the city. However, it is said that Cao Cao's army is also one of the few elite troops in the world. Presumably, as long as there is a change in the gate, the 3000 garrisons stationed in the city will arrive in a time of incense.

Duan Yu again estimated the distance between Zhao Yun and the city gate. Half a column of incense was enough. The most important thing is to ensure that the gate is not closed. Duan Yu clenched his fist tightly. This is his first battle in the new army. He must fight well!

Although Duan Yu slowed down his speed, he still arrived at the gate of the city. As soon as the guard saw the group of fifty people, he immediately said, "stop! What a man However, because these people were dressed in ordinary clothes, and the number was not large, these soldiers did not care much. After all, in Xuzhou, such a caravan is not uncommon.

Duan Yu immediately put on a flattering smile, and said to the soldier, "several military masters have worked hard. All the villains are businessmen. They want to enter the city for a night's rest." After all, he was not familiar with Huaiyin City, so Duan Yu chose to say that he was passing by, so as not to expose himself.

"Merchant?" The soldier looked at Duan Yu with a slightly suspicious look on his face, pointed to the large and small packages on his horse's back and said, "what's in there? Open it and have a look

"Ouch! Gentlemen, these are all porcelain. If the paint is opened and stained with dust, it can't be sold! " Duan Yu is still pretending to be a businessman to buy time for Zhao Yun.

"I told you to open the package, didn't you hear me?" The soldier yelled and pushed Duan Yu forward. Originally, with Duan Yu's ability, how could these ordinary soldiers push him? But in order not to expose himself, Duan Yu pretended that he could not resist the push of the soldiers. He even stepped back several steps and fell directly to the ground.Duan Yu, who was sitting on the ground, said with a smile to the soldier, "this military master is so strong! Please Junye. These porcelain wares can't be opened to see the wind. The villain's wealth depends on these things! "

"What a useless thing! White has grown so big Obviously, Duan Yu's flattery made the soldier very comfortable. Seeing that Duan Yu's gang was only a few dozen, he waved his hand and said, "OK! okay! Go away

"Oh! Thank you very much! Thank you very much Duan Yu pretended to be overjoyed. He bowed and took his men to the city gate.

When he was halfway there, another soldier pointed to one of Duan Yu's men and said, "stop! What mark is that on your face For a while, everyone looked at Duan Yu's men. It turned out that there was a long indentation on his face, but it was caused by wearing a helmet for a long time. The soldier came forward and looked at the mark carefully. His face suddenly changed. He stepped back several steps and pointed his hand at the man who just wanted to open his mouth.

"Look! What is that? " A soldier outside the gate of the city pointed to the smoke and dust outside the city and asked, which is the dust caused by Zhao Yun's troops.

"Do it!" Duan Yu burst out a drink, and first of all, he drew out his sword from the back of his horse and began to attack. The cavalry pointed by the soldier kicked the soldier with his mouth wide open and pulled out his weapon to chop him to the ground.

Because Duan Yu's attack was too sudden, and Zhao Yun's activities outside the city attracted him, the 20 soldiers guarding the gate of the city had no time to resist, so they were all knocked down. Duan Yu waved his big hand to his men and said, "all hold the gate! We must wait until General Zhao enters the city! "

As soon as Duan Yu's voice fell, he saw that countless soldiers were pouring into the city. It must have been the garrison at the head of the city who noticed that the gate had changed and informed the garrison in the city to come out and close the gate. Duan Yu had no time to wear armor behind him and said, "prepare to meet the enemy! Thirty men bow and arrow! Twenty spears

It can only be said that the quality of these new troops is indeed high. Before the defenders in the city rush in, the 50 thunderstorm riders quickly follow Duan Yu's instructions and form a simple defensive formation. The 30 men at the back bent their bows and arrows at the surging garrison, and dozens of them were directly shot to the ground.

However, more and more defenders began to rush towards the gate. Although the archers' arrows were sharp, they could not stop the other side. Duan Yu looked back and saw that Zhao Yun's army was still a short distance away from the city gate, and he could even see Zhao Yun's figure clearly. Duan Yu raised his spear and yelled: "brothers! Kill As soon as the words fell, Duan Yu took the lead in hurling his gun at the enemy. The 20 men who had already been ready were also following. The 30 people behind him quickly dropped their bows and arrows, drew out their spears from the mount behind them and killed them in front of them.

The momentum of Duan Yu and others suddenly overwhelmed the defenders, and they clearly occupied the majority in number, but they were killed by Duan Yu and others and were defeated and retreated. But it was only a temporary victory. Not far from the city, a black armour general brandishing a spear, galloping on a horse, followed by thousands of soldiers behind him. These are all the defenders in Huaiyin City, and this black armour general is Cao Chun, the general of Huaiyin City!

Cao Chun was one of the early generals to follow Cao Cao. As Cao Ren's younger brother, Cao Chun's martial arts were also extraordinary. Cao Cao entrusted such an important city as Huaiyin City to him to guard, which shows his trust in him. At this time, seeing that this unknown army occupied the city gate, Cao Chun was heavily entrusted by Cao Cao, but his heart was extremely anxious.

However, years of combat experience kept him calm. He soon found that the morale of the troops with no more than 50 soldiers was higher than that of the defenders, especially the military general who rushed to the front. Under his leadership, dozens of soldiers in that area were able to kill more than 100 garrisons and defeat them. Cao Chun's eyes are cold. Although the general's martial arts are good, he must not be his opponent.

Cao Chun's legs clamped the mount with force, speeding up the speed, and went directly to Duan Yu. He didn't care how many defenders kicked over all the way. At the moment when he was close to Duan Yu, the long gun in his hand quickly stabbed Duan Yu in front of him.

Suddenly he saw a general in front of him. In a twinkling of an eye, a long gun was stabbed directly at his own face. Duan Yu was shocked and raised his long gun in a hurry. Finally, he blocked the sharp point of the gun at the critical moment.
