"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"The brigade of cavalry rushed into the city, run!"
"Youzhou rushes to attack the city, those who resist stubbornly die, and those who go out die!"
"Boom, rumble!"
Amid the rolling sound of hooves and various shouts, the sound of Youzhou rushing cavalry siege in the city was neatly shouted, as if it was a notice of death and a declaration of the deadly robber!
The people in the city who had originally wanted to go out to fight the enemy were stunned. They hid behind the door and listened to the loud hooves running back and forth in the city. From time to time, screams and howlings came. The warm air began to fill with a strong smell of blood, which made the courage they had just plucked up quietly.
This is the troops of General Pingbei, known as the God of Han military. Can he really compete with them? Besides, Yuan Shao's troops are not their soldiers. Apart from collecting more taxes, Yuan Shao did not bring any changes to them. Therefore, most of the militia retreated, and a small number of them were stunned. As soon as they left the door, they were knocked away by the speeding horse, or their heads were cut off by a black sword. Looking at this cruel scene, the people who had never experienced such scenes were so scared that they howled loudly, or they were slumped to the ground.
The defenders in the city were attacked without any preparation. The command system in the city was paralyzed at the first time. The city was not a hot spot, so naturally there were not many players. After some good things were killed, other players were tactfully out of the city, waiting for the war to end, or simply stayed in the inn and didn't come out, and there was nothing.
The defenders who had completely lost their command had to follow their instinct and companions and hurriedly escape from the east and north gates. Of course, there were also western gates. Anyway, they just fled and fled, so Fang Zhiwen did not chase them. On the contrary, they closed the city gates and then searched for the remaining soldiers everywhere in the city. Most of these remaining soldiers surrendered obediently.
The chaotic city was turbulent until dawn, and finally became quiet. Then, under the custody of Fang Zhiwen's troops, the prisoners began to slowly clean the battlefield. However, the city was still martial law and the city gate was also confined. Until the sun rose high, a large group of cavalry appeared outside the city. This was Zhen Xiang's return. The reason why he came back so slowly was because he was still suppressing tens of thousands of prisoners. This small city with 30,000 people defended was easily broken by two thousand people because the guy guarding the city was too careless.
Originally, Fang Zhiwen just planned to besiege Xiaoxian and mobilize Gao Lan's mobile troops to return to the rescue. Then he ate the 20,000 mobile troops halfway. Who knew that when he came to Xiaoxian, he saw that the enemy was so relaxed in defense. It would be better to take Xiaoxian directly and threaten Gao Lan from the flank, forcing Gao Lan to retreat voluntarily.
Fang Zhiwen then began to use his powers to issue government orders, announcing that the city was officially incorporated into Pengguo's management. All the original government orders of Yuan Shao were abolished and replaced by Xuzhou's government order system. He also called on residents and grassroots officials in the city to return to normal living and management order.
Then after the prisoners had eaten, they began to maintain the city defense. Fang Zhiwen checked the treasury and found that he had made a lot of money. Gao Lan had stored a large amount of food and grass here, and now they were all accepted by Fang Zhiwen intact. This time, Gao Lan couldn't help but withdraw his troops.
In the afternoon, the Yiren troops, who had already followed Fang Zhiwen to fight, finally followed, but they didn't expect that Fang Zhiwen had easily taken Xiaoxian. They were surprised and inquire about it, and only then did they know that the opponent's slackness made Fang Zhiwen get a big advantage.
Then Fang Zhiwen issued a large number of tasks in Xiaoxian County, making full use of players to consolidate Xiaoxian’s city defense. He led his team out of Xiaoxian and wandered around the periphery. On the one hand, he drove the surrounding villages and towns to Xiaoxian, and on the other hand, he was preparing to attack Gaolan’s mobile troops who came to support.
However, Fang Zhiwen still looked at Gao Lan's courage. After receiving the news of the loss of Xiao County, Gao Lan was furious and killed several guards who fled back. After repeated consideration, Gao Lan asked Yuan Shao to retreat, end the battle to attack Pengguo, and defend Liuxian, and exchange Liuxian for Xiaoxian. This is an acceptable situation, because Liuxian is very close to Peixian, which can be said to be the gateway to Peixian. On the contrary, Xiaoxian is very close to Pengcheng, making it easy to attack and difficult to defend.
....................................................................................................
More than 200 miles west of Wuxi County, there is a small town called Xu Town. Now Guo Jia and Yuexi's troops are here, and use it as a stronghold to support the player's troops to search and loot around. However, the people and wealthy families in Qiao County have also learned their skills. Like Xuzhou, they have all escaped into the big city. Yuexi's troops have a total of 20,000 people, so it is impossible to capture those cities. Of course, a small town like Hu Town is naturally no problem.
However, as the surrounding walls became more and more solid, Guo Jia and Yue Xi’s activity space became smaller and smaller, and it was almost time to retreat.
Yuexi's command center is not set up in the city, but outside the city. A small city of this size is not only difficult to defend but also seriously limits the combat power of Yuexi's cavalry, so it is better not to enter the city.
"Military Advisor..."
"General Yue, just call me a military advisor, so sir, please spare me."
Guo Jia was holding a small gourd in his hand, but it was not wine, but ginseng dew. When Guo Jia came to Yuexi's camp, Fang Zhiwen specifically told Yuexi that if he found out that Guo Jia had drunk wine, he would have to practice Yuexi's military skills. Guo Jia could not do it, and it would be difficult to implicate Yuexi, so he had to endure it.
"Haha, then okay, Military Advisor Guo, why did the lord leave Cao's army and head north? Are you not worried that Cao Cao suddenly turned around and attacked and made trouble?"
"This problem... In fact, you can't look at war purely from the perspective of war. War must have a purpose. Cao Cao launched the Xuzhou Battle, and the fundamental purpose of the fundamental purpose is to solve the problem of food and grass. Now that Cao Cao's food and grass problem has been solved, why should he attack Xuzhou again? At this time, it would be a bit of a loss."
Yue Xi blinked. Guo Jia had explained to him what Cao Cao was doing now, so Yue Xi knew what Guo Jia said that Cao Cao had solved the food and grass problem. However, from a military point of view, it was in military interests that Cao Cao took the initiative to attack and mobilize his lord's troops to return to aid.
"Besides, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have a grudge. Why do you have to help Yuan Shao? If Cao Cao attacks and takes the lord south to clear the siege of Wu, Yuan Shao takes the opportunity to take back Xiaoxian and even capture Pengcheng. This will not have any practical benefits for Cao Cao, because even if Yuan Shao takes Pengcheng, he will not have the strength to go south. He will even be besieged from all sides because of the large stall. It is impossible to put continuous pressure on Xuzhou. In other words, this teammate is basically a waste and is purely here to get a bargain."
Yue Xi nodded seriously, indicating that he had been taught. His humble attitude is indeed very popular. No wonder he could become a general of a ** legion at a young age.
"What about us, should we retreat at the right time?"
"Basically we can retreat, but the enemy may not let us go back easily."
"Huh? The military advisor means that Xiahou Dun will ambush us?"
"The position of our army has been exposed now. It is located between Sucheng and Wucheng County. If Cao Cao easily missed this opportunity, it would be unlikely. Therefore, Cao Cao should now set up a trap and want to put us in."
Yue Xi turned his head seriously and looked at the map hanging on one side, his eyes wandering back and forth on the map. Then he nodded.
"Indeed, if Xiahou Dun and Cao Cao cooperate, we can block the road to retreat to the east. After all, the rivers here can still be fully utilized to limit our route of movement."
"Well. Their start is probably to block us along the river, forcing us to detour southwest or northwest, consume our food and equipment, and finally block our mobility after we drop."
"Then we can cross the river at night, otherwise the route to the east will be blocked, and it is really possible that the situation the military advisors mentioned. Our army's current food and grass can only last for five days."
Guo Jia smiled strangely and shook his hand:
"Who said? Our food and grass can last at least ten days, so we can use our own tricks to lure and kill a part of Cao's army. Besides, it may be a bit late to cross the river at night. If you really want to run, you have to run south and cooperate with General Huang Zhong to find a way to annihilate Xiahou Yuan's troops."
Yue Xi blinked, thought about it carefully, and then suddenly realized and understood where the military advisor said that the ten-day food and grass came from.
"Military advisor, then we will return east as they expected tomorrow, and then attack on the river bank and retreat unfavorably?"
"No, that's too obvious. We will turn south tonight and ask Xiahou Dun to chase us, while temporarily avoiding Cao Cao's troops."
"Isn't the Huai River in the south harder to get through?"
Guo Jia glared: "Who said we were going to pass Huai River? In fact, we can't get through then, and Xiahou Yuan can't get through either."
"But, Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu's troops can press us against the Huai River. In this way, we will lose our mobility?"
"Haha, they will definitely think so, and in this way, our plan will be done."
"plan?"
"Yes, a plan! This time, Xiahou Yuan will suffer a big loss. Every time this guy encounters our Miyun Army, he will be in trouble. I wonder if he is a result of a rush!"
Guo Jia smiled proudly, raised the little gourd and took a sip, and let out a satisfying sigh.
Yue Xi looked at Guo Jia in confusion, and saw that Guo Jia had no idea of explaining at all, and was angry. However, there was no way, so he had to look back and study the map. He wanted to find clues about Guo Jia's plan from Guo Jia's previous arrangements and analysis. However, Yue Xi broke his head and still couldn't see any strange tricks here. No matter how he looked, he looked like a desperate dog.
