In Yuanyong City, the generals of Cao Wei gathered together. They originally planned to break out of the encirclement at this time, but they didn't know that Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Li Dian, and Yue Jin came from outside with troops led by Yu Jin, so they gave up the original plan.
"Your Majesty, the military counselor ordered us to come first, and the military counselor will personally lead 30,000 infantrymen to arrive later. It is expected to arrive here at midnight tomorrow." Xiahou Dun immediately reported to Cao Mengde as soon as he saw it.
"I can't wait that long. It seems that Gao Fei deliberately let you enter the city to besiege us. If this delay continues, the Yan army's reinforcements will become more and more numerous. We must break out of the siege as soon as possible and then withdraw to Yanzhou.
Compared with here, Jia Xu who is attacking Qingzhou is the biggest problem. Once Qingzhou is captured, Xuzhou and Yanzhou will also face threats. Our army's rear is empty and we must return reinforcements."
Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Li Dian, Yue Jin, Yu Jin and others looked at each other and asked in unison: "Your Majesty, has Jia Xu attacked Qingzhou?"
"Jia Xu led an army of 100,000 men, with Han Meng and Zang Ba as the vanguard. Now they have occupied half of Qingzhou. Don't you know anything about it?" Cao Mengde asked rhetorically.
"We have never received any news from Qingzhou, so we really don't know anything about it!" Everyone replied in unison.
"Well, I don't blame you for this. It takes at least a few days to get here from Qingzhou. It is reasonable for the scouts to be unable to communicate in time. However, Yan Jun's words are not wrong. The man named Bai Yu suddenly
Appearing there was definitely no accident. Jia Xu had followed Gao Fei early in the morning. When Liangzhou put down Beigong Boyu's rebellion, Jia Xu
Xu has shown his extraordinary wisdom. Now as the chief military advisor of the Yan army, it can be seen that Gao Fei trusts him very much. This person can quietly lead his army to attack Qingzhou, Zhu Ling must not be able to resist it, it is very likely
, Jinan County where Zhu Ling is located has been surrounded by Jia Xu, so the news cannot be conveyed." Cao Mengde analyzed.
"Your Majesty, let's break out of the encirclement quickly. This place is only a dozen miles away from the Yan Army's camp. If the Yan Army increases its troops again, it will be difficult for us to break out of the encirclement." Xia Houyuan said.
"Your Majesty, please give the order to break out!" All the generals shouted in unison.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu stood behind Cao Mengde. Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Jin, Xia Houen and Wen Ji all raised their hands together. Cao Mengde stood up after looking at everyone.
.
"Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong, the four of you lead two thousand cavalry as the front, and charge out from the east gate. Li Dian, Yue Jin, Yu Jin, and Cao Xiu, the four of you lead two thousand cavalry, follow closely behind, and the rest of the soldiers
, all follow me out of the south gate, start taking action now!" Cao Cao immediately ordered.
"promise!"
Although the more than 10,000 cavalry brought by Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren were also blocked in the city, in a sense, it increased the strength of the Wei army. The reinforcements of the Yan army did not increase, and they were still more than 20,000 cavalry. In this kind of situation
Under such circumstances, the increase in Wei troops undoubtedly gave Cao Mengde more opportunities to break through.
Cao Mengde's idea was very simple. First, use four thousand cavalry as bait to rush out from the east gate, making the Yan army mistakenly think that the Wei army was desperate to break out from here, attracting troops from other gates, and when the Yan army mobilized its troops, they would immediately attack from the south gate.
Break out the door.
The Wei army re-examined the strength of the city, and found that there were 20,000 people in total, including 12,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry. So, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Yue Jin, Yu Jin, and Cao Xiu were the eight generals.
Each led five hundred cavalry to gather at the east gate, while Cao Mengde led the rest of the infantry and cavalry to gather at the south gate.
At this time, the rain was getting lighter and lighter, as was the case with thunderstorms in summer. When the rain gradually stopped, the east gate of Yuanyong City suddenly opened, and Xiahou Dun was the first to rush out with five hundred cavalry.
The Wei army's breakout was anticipated by the Yan army. When they saw Xiahou Dun rushing out with his troops, Taishi Ci, who had been waiting outside for a long time, was the first to greet him. The cavalry behind him immediately swarmed up and blocked Xiahou Dun.
Taishi Ci held the Wind and Fire Hook Heavenly Halberd tightly and faced Xiahou Dun directly. They immediately fought in a melee with Xiahou Dun. Xiahou Dun waved his spear in his hand and fought hard, resisting Taishi Ci's attack.
In Yuanyong City, Xia Houyuan led five hundred cavalry to rush out, and together with Xiahou Dun, they fought against Tai Shici. The five hundred cavalry under his command also acted like a new force and began to break out.
Taishi Ci was able to cope with the Xiahou brothers' flanking attack at first, but after a few moves, he found it a bit difficult. After all, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were the two generals of the Wei army. It was naturally more difficult for them to attack Taishi Ci together than to fight alone.
More likely to win.
Gao Fei was riding on horseback, looking at the battlefield ahead through the telescope, and immediately shouted to Wei Yan behind him: "Chang Wen, go quickly to support Tai Shi Ci, and be sure to resist the breakout of the Xiahou brothers... Hey... Wen Yuan, you
We also went out to fight. The Wei army went out in an echelon formation. Cao Ren led his troops to kill them. You go and block them!"
"Nuo!" Generals Wei Yan and Zhang Liao shouted in unison, each wielding a sword and riding out, leading hundreds of cavalry behind them to kill.
Wei Yan rushed into the battle circle and after killing several Wei cavalry, he galloped to Taishi Ci's side. Seeing that Taishi Ci was being forced by Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan hurriedly swung his sword and struck Xia Houyuan in the back.
, and shouted at the same time: "Wei Yan is here, and I came here to ask for some advice!"
Xia Houyuan was cooperating with Xia Houdun and was fighting with Tai Shici. Suddenly he heard a loud roar from behind and felt a sharp force coming from behind.
Under his belly, he saw Wei Yan coming out with a fierce look. He got on the horse again, raised a knife and fought with Wei Yan.
Taishi Ci suddenly lost the threat of Xiahou Yuan, and the Wind and Fire Hook Sky Halberd immediately regained its former prestige and began to counterattack Xiahou Dun.
Xiahou Dun's force was not weak. When he saw Taishi Ci starting to counterattack, he hurriedly resisted. Facing Taishi Ci's fierce attack, he could only resist at present.
Cao Reng just rushed out with his troops and immediately met Zhang Liao. As soon as the two met, they immediately started fighting together.
At this time, there was chaos outside the east gate of Yuanyong City, shouts of killing were everywhere, lightning was still flashing in the air, the rumble of thunder sounded again, and then the disappearing rain began to patter again.
Later, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Jin, and Cao Xiu led their troops to fight out at the same time. Gao Fei asked Pang De, Chu Yan, Zhang He, Lu Heng, and Wenpin to resist, making the battle at the city gate even more chaotic.
, blood splattered everywhere, limbs flew around, corpses of humans and animals fell one after another, shouts of killing rose into the sky in the dark night, the battle was extremely fierce.
Gao Fei was riding on horseback, looking at the chaotic battlefield in front of him against the lightning, and turned around and asked: "Feng Xiao, the Wei army charged so fiercely, but Cao Mengde was never seen. Have you ever seen any difference?"
"My subordinates believe that this is Cao Mengde's plan to cover up his attack from the east and attack the west. Now that the main force of our army is concentrated at the east gate, Gan Ning is stationed at the west gate, Huang Zhong is at the north gate, and Zhao Yun is at the south gate. Cao Mengde will definitely break out from the south gate, and the Wei army
The number of troops in the city and
Our army is basically at an equal level. If Cao Mengde leads an army to break through from the south gate, General Zhao will definitely be unable to resist it. Please give an order quickly, my lord, and ask Gan Ning and Huang Zhong to rush to the south gate. Your lord also leads the army to the south gate. This place is left to your subordinates.
Just put it down." Guo Jia analyzed.
After Gao Fei heard this, he thought it made sense, so he immediately passed on the order, leaving a thousand cavalry behind to protect Guo Jia. He personally led the army to the south gate to support Zhao Yun.
At this moment, Cao Mengde heard the loud shouting of killing outside the east gate in the city, and hurriedly ordered: "Open the city gate and rush out!"
With an order, the city gate opened. Dian Wei took the lead, wielding his double iron halberds, and rushed out of the city gate. Cao Mengde rushed out under the protection of Xu Chu, Cao Zhen, Xia Houen, and Wen Ji.
It was difficult to distinguish in the dark night, but Dian Wei was particularly conspicuous in the dark night. As soon as he left the city gate, he immediately entered Zhao Yun's sight.
Zhao Yun led two thousand cavalry to station here. When he saw a white-haired man rushing out on horseback, he knew that the man was Dian Wei without even thinking about it. He remembered that he was deceived by Dian Wei who pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool.
At that moment, he felt extremely angry in his heart, raised the moon-gazing spear in his hand, rushed out, and faced Dian Wei directly.
"kill!"
Zhao Yun only shouted once, and the cavalry behind him immediately went to block the door, temporarily blocking the Wei army at the door, and he also stabbed the white-haired Dian Wei with his spear.
It’s not surprising that Dian Wei turned bald overnight. He looked very much like Wu Zixu during the Warring States Period. When Dian Wei saw Zhao Yunting stabbing him with his spear, he fought with Zhao Yun while wielding his double iron halberds. He knew very well in his heart that Zhao Yun’s force was not there.
Under him, he must try his best to entangle Zhao Yun. In this case, Cao Mengde will have a greater chance of breaking out under the protection of Xu Chu and others.
"Ghost Li! No matter what you say this time, I won't let you escape again. Either you die today or I die!" Zhao Yun and Dian Wei were fighting each other, with guns and halberds going back and forth. It was like two people who had hated each other for thousands of years.
People who meet each other will fight to the death.
A smile appeared on the corner of Dian Wei's mouth and he said: "With a good opponent like Zilong, Dian Wei will never back down. I also have this intention, and I will know how powerful the leader of the five tigers of the Yan Kingdom is. Come on!"
Zhao Yun's anger played into Dian Wei's plan. As soon as the two men finished speaking, they immediately started fighting fiercely. The sound of the clash of weapons never stopped.
At this time, Cao Mengde came out with the Heavenly Sword and was guarded by Xu Chu. Cao Zhen, Xia Houen, and Wen Ji also rushed out with their soldiers. When everyone saw Dian Wei fighting Zhao Yun, they immediately started charging.
Xu Chu wielded the Ancient Moon Sword, killing Buddhas when he encountered them, and demons when he encountered them. He was like a sharp blade, cutting directly through Yan Jun's blockade. Just when he was about to rush out, he suddenly saw Gan Ning coming out and killing him.
A group of cavalry moved from the west gate to the south gate and blocked the gap. Gan Ning waved a large ring sword and immediately blocked Xu Chu. At the same time, he shouted: "Gan Ning is here, the enemy generals should not be so rampant."
.”
At the same time, Gao Fei came over with his army. When he saw the melee at the south gate, he immediately ordered his soldiers to cover up and block the Wei army in front of the south gate.
