Chapter 899 (1/2)
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.
