Chapter 489: Battle of Yanzhou III
In Peijun Xiangcheng, the war was roaring and the roar continued.
The originally majestic Xiangcheng City Wall has now become ragged, with one piece missing in the east and one piece missing in the west. Just a single look at it, you will know that the city wall may not last long.
This is also inevitable. Although the Thunderbolt Car is not as powerful as the Red Refining War Tank, it cannot withstand such a long period of bombing.
Of course, in addition to constantly throwing stones at Xiangcheng, Cao's army also launched several siege battles, but they were all repelled by the defending army.
Due to the news from Pengcheng a few days ago, Cao Cao also knew that he had been fooled. While he was angry, he also began to start a real fierce attack on Xiangcheng.
The north gate of Xiangcheng, which is where Cao Cao's main force is located, is also the place where Cao's army sieges the most violently.
After a day of hard fighting, blood stained the city walls, the two armies also deceived the death and injuries. Since it was almost dusk, Cao's army retreated under Cao Cao's order.
On the north gate city wall, two people stood in the wind, looking at Cao Cao's army in the park.
Both of them held long swords, one with a slender and beautiful body, and the whole body was crystal clear and dazzling, and it could not be seen directly. The other with a slender body, but it only had one side to open the blade.
Although the two swords were different, they were constantly dripping blood. It was obvious that they had just killed someone. As for the two sword-holders, they were covered in blood and kept breathing heavily. It was obvious that they had just fought together.
"I have known that Liu Hou's strategy is amazing, but I have thought that his force is so good." One of the middle-aged men stood on the ground with a sword and looked at the young man next to him with admiration.
The young man, Zhang Liang, smiled and said, "Before my eldest brother went north, he often praised Duke Wei's achievements in my ears. Now it seems that what my eldest brother said is almost the same."
"Liu Houyan laughed." Li Jing waved his hand quickly, how dare he claim to be a great achievement in front of this 'predecessor'?
"Mr. Liu Hou released me like this and gave me weapons. Are you really not afraid that I will escape?" After returning to peace, Li Jing asked Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang looked at him deeply, then haha, "Of course I'm afraid. According to what my brother said, if you are letting you be an enemy and letting you do your best, we may have unprecedented trouble."
Li Jing said he didn't dare to do anything that happened more than a month ago.
The Marquis Liu in front of him had already guessed everything that was about to happen before leaving Jiujiang County, no, before leaving Shouchun.
He first asked Wu'an Jun Bai Qi to lead the 400,000 Legion of the Underworld Gods to go first, and instructed Bai Qi to go directly from Jiujiang to Xiapi County, and then detoured Xiapi to Pengcheng to prevent the Cao army from advancing eastward in Pengcheng.
Subsequently, he mobilized the surrendered soldiers in Shouchun and conscripted some people, and slowly set out towards Pei County with the marching arrangements of the soldiers in his hands, including the people and the surrendered soldiers.
He even seemed to have taken into account the fact that Xiangcheng's grain was emptied, so he allowed the people who were marching inside to transport a large amount of grain.
It is precisely these foods that allow me to stay safe in this empty city until now.
Zhang Liang waved his hand and listened to Li Yang's story about Li Jing, Zhang Liang admired the war god in the early Tang Dynasty, and naturally wanted to leave the war god in Tianyun.
"Duke Wei does not have to be humble. You must know that if our army had not occupied the power of the Red Refining Chariot, it would have been quite troublesome."
"Liuhou's words are heavy, just call me a pharmacist."
"Okay, Senior Brother Yao!" Zhang Liang hugged Li Jing and continued to explain with a smile: "I'm afraid you will run away, so I didn't dare to release your personal guards. Otherwise, with your hundreds of personal guards, it wouldn't be so hard today. But please rest assured that the third brother did not kill him at the beginning. Although there were several casualties, more than 800 people left. In addition to restricting personal freedom, everyone else was serving him."
This is inevitable. Zhang Liang has naturally seen the combat effectiveness of Li Jing’s personal guards. Now that Li Jing is not his own, it is naturally impossible for him to let them out easily.
Li Jing naturally understood Zhang Liang's concern, and shook his head with a wry smile and said thank you.
"Luhou, look at the Cao army's offensive today, I'm afraid Wu'anjun has made contributions." Li Jing blinked his eyes and looked at the Cao army camp where lights had already risen in the distance, and said to Zhang Liang: "Now, Xiangcheng, I'm afraid I can't stand such an attack several more times!"
"Senior Brother Yao is at ease, there will be a turnaround soon." Zhang Liang looked at Beifang and said with a firm look on his face.
Li Jing asked Zhang Liang before, and even though he knew there was an ambush here, he resolutely walked here. Is it to be used as bait to attract Cao Cao's firepower and allow Bai Qijun to successfully rescue Pengcheng?
Zhang Liang replied to him, "Yes, not all," such an ambiguous answer.
Now, Li Jing looked at Zhang Liang's firm eyes and understood that the reason why Zhang Liang did this was probably related to his elder brother who was in the north.
…………
In early October, a secret letter ran out from Puyang City.
Then in just a few days, the originally calm Yanzhou suddenly became smoke.
Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Xu Si and Wang Kai gathered together to reveal the villain Cao Cao. Then Zhang Miao led 600,000 troops to welcome Lu Bu into Chenliu County.
This was a great joy for Lu Bu. Lu Bu, who was originally wandering around, finally had a foothold, so he naturally took his Bingzhou army to take over Chenliu County.
In mid-October, a letter from Zhang Miao and Lu Bu was sent to Chen Gong and Li Yang.
The content inside is nothing more than that Zhang Miao has already defected to Lu Bu according to the agreement. Why is your Chen Gong still holding his troops? Hurry up to welcome me, Lu Bu, into Dongjun? Time is urgent now. If Cao Cao comes back, it would be too late.
Looking at the letter, Li Yang and Chen Gong looked at each other and smiled. Then, a letter came out of Puyang and headed straight for Chenliu.
This letter was written by Li Yang, and the content was roughly that we learned from the letters that we would attack Cao Cao together, and then we would conquer the territory of Yanzhou by our own ability. Since you, Lu Bu, have entered Yanzhou, it means that we accepted my invitation, so we would fight for the land of Yanzhou by all our ability.
I have handed you a letter early, but you have been hesitating, but I, Li Yang, didn't. When you took over Chenliu, I had already taken over the water and quietly took down Dongjun. Not only that, now I have gathered a 500,000 army and ready to go south to seize Jiyin County. At that time, I will ask Marquis Wen to help me with one or two. Li Yang will never forget Marquis Wen's kindness.
After hearing Chen Gong say this, Li Yang couldn't help but be worried, "Okay, this time he not only successfully introduced Lu Bu to Jiyin County, but also helped him lead the Cao army of Jiyin County to him. Is this a self-inflicted person?"
After reading this letter, Lu Bu was furious. Chenliu Dongjun, which was originally within reach, was suddenly half gone. He had negotiated with me and negotiated. I didn't agree to you at all.
Not to mention Lu Bu, even Zhang Miao looked angry, "Your sister, we have said it well before. If we defect to Lu Bu together, Chen Gong suddenly turned against you."
But when he thought about it, Zhang Miao was a little happy. Now that Chen Gong no longer surrendered to Lu Bu, wouldn’t he be the most hero? His status in Lu Bu’s heart will naturally rise.
