Chapter 308 (1/2)
The result of the battle did not change because of the morale of the garrison. The battle lasted for six hours and ended in absolute victory of Cao's army. Although there were some problems in the middle, Xia Houdun could accept the result.
At this time, the whole Nanton city was basically under the control of Cao army, and only a few small garrison soldiers on the head of the city still fought and resisted tenaciously. However, the large forces of the Cao army have entered the city, and their weak resistance has been eliminated one by one in front of the wolf like Cao army.
XiahouDun, with Zhang Ying and Gaolan, went up to the head of the city and looked at the corpses all over the ground, most of which were garrisons of Nanton city. The three XiahouDun were veteran generals fighting in the battlefield all the year round. Naturally, they would not pity these soldiers who died in the war. But they came to find the general who led the resistance. If possible, Xia Houdun really wanted to recruit him.
”General! I found it A soldier of Cao's army called in front of him. Xia Houdun's eyes brightened, and they walked quickly along the soldiers' shouts. But when they got to the soldier and looked along the soldier's fingers, their eyes darkened again.
It was true that he had found the general, but XiahouDun could never surrender him. He was standing on the edge of the city wall, facing the outside of the city, with an angry face. In his hand, he still tightly held the big knife which was already incomplete, and several spears had been deeply inserted into the general's chest. Although the guard general's eyes are still staring at the eldest, they are dim. Looking at the blood on his body that is about to coagulate, he should have been dead for a long time.
Xia Hou Dun sighed gently, not only for the spirit of the general's death rather than surrender, but also for the inability to attract such talents. He turned to the soldiers of the Cao army and said, ”bury him well!”
In fact, Nanton was only the first target of the XiahouDun's troops, so we should not delay here for too long. After a little rest, Xia Hou Dun and Zhang Ying Gaolan began to move towards the next target, Cai Cheng.
Cai City is not the same as Nantong city. Although it is the border city of Yuzhou and Yanzhou, but the distance between Caicheng and Yingyang city of Yanzhou is too close, so there are more people and horses stationed than Nantong City, with a total of 50000 people. For the first time, those who stayed in the city arranged two guards, all of whom were Lu Meng. Under the heart of Jiangdong new army, their abilities were not much worse than those of Nanton.
In order to capture Cai City as soon as possible, Xia Houdun decisively transferred the 200000 troops of Xu Rong and Ma Chao, and gathered up a total of 400000 troops, and then directly headed for Cai City.
At this time, Cai City has received the military information of Cao's invasion, the whole city has entered the alert state, and from Runan came the news of LV Meng's assassination. Although it was not said whether LV Meng was dead or not, as LV Meng's confidants, the two generals of CAI Cheng were very anxious. If Cao Jun was not about to kill him, they would like to go back to Runan to see LV Meng's injury.
In the meeting hall, two guards were gloomy. One of them was not sure how to sit down. He simply got up and walked back and forth in the conference hall to eliminate the boredom in his heart. Another white guard general couldn't help it. He frowned and said to his companion, ”Wang San, don't turn. I feel dizzy when you turn! Don't worry. The general is very good at martial arts. Even if he is attacked by a thief, he won't be hurt too much. What's more, the general has been escorted to Jianye! Jianye has governor in! There is nothing to keep the general! ” In the minds of these generals born in Jiangdong new army, the governor is omnipotent. As long as it is in the governor's hands, there is nothing that cannot be solved.
The general, who was called Wang San, heard his companion talk about the governor. Then he looked better. He sat down on the side of the table and said: ”these damn Cao thieves! What a mean thing to do
Another guard general listened to Wang San's words, and his face was a little more ferocious. He said coldly, ”those thieves want to attack Yuzhou while the general is not seriously injured. Laoduan's Nanton city has been sent to them. I think Lao Duan has also been poisoned by them. In my opinion, their next target should be Cai City! ”
”Hum!” Wang San, who finally sat down, stood up again and cried out, ”good come! Pockmarked Liu! This time, our brothers will let these despicable Cao troops know the strength of our Dongwu army! We must avenge general Duan and Lao Duan! ”
”Of course Pockmarked Liu nodded hard. Although his face was not as ferocious as Wang San, the cold light in his eyes was even colder than that of Wang San.
