Chapter 409 The Battle of Wan City Breaks Out
In the fourth year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty, in the winter of November, Cao Cao ordered his [-] troops to set off from Huainan and Xudu respectively to attack Nanyang County under Liu He's rule. Go down to Nanyang.

"As long as we take down Nanyang, we can completely guarantee the safety of Xudu, cut Liu and Xiao'er's connection with Chang'an, and even possibly trap this boy to death in Nanjun completely! And as long as Liu and Xiao'er die, his strength will be reduced." It will fall apart, and when the time comes, I will use the emperor to command the princes and seize Yongliang, Sili, Youbing, Qingji and other states in the name of the emperor, who else in the world can stop my rise?"

Cao Cao's heart was fanatical. He had previously fought a battle of Guandu where he won more with less. Many counties and counties in Xuzhou and Yangzhou were destroyed, and the key to that battle was to kill Yuan Shao's generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou in the Battle of White Horse. Another white horse, laying the foundation for his big victory.

Cao Cao started the road from Huainan. He has a total of [-] troops under his command. These [-] troops are all elites in the army, including some generals under his command. Cao Xiu, Xia Houen, the sword general, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, the commanders of Cao Cao's elite tiger and leopard cavalry, and the generals Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen, the generals of Yuan Shao and his son who joined him after the Battle of Guandu, etc. wait.

The road in Xudu was led by Cao Ren, and the generals under his command included Li Dian, Le Jin, Shi Huan, Niu Jin, etc. They believed that this time it can be said that the best of the best, except Xia Houyuan who was leading the army to guard Yanzhou and Xiahou Dun who was leading the army Apart from guarding Yuzhou, all the generals under his command who could be dispatched were dispatched. They put on a desperate posture and decided to take Nanyang at all costs.

The two armies made rapid progress and arrived at the city of Wancheng soon one after another. However, what is unimaginable is that even though the [-] army almost seemed to be in a frenzy to attack Wancheng, the two armies attacked day and night for a day, and lost Thousands of troops were mobilized, but Wancheng was still unable to be captured.

"This damn Zhang Xiu actually built Wancheng so strong. What's even more hateful is that although there are not many soldiers in the city, it seems that there are only 1 soldiers at most, but they have the help of the people in the city. Regardless of his life, he ran to the top of the city to help defend, this is the reason why it was so difficult for me to capture Wancheng."

Cao Cao was very angry in his heart, and said through gritted teeth.

At this time, Cao Hong said: "My lord, don't worry. When Hong attacked the city today, he found that the southeast corner of the city wall was loose. You only need to give me a horse, and I can attack the city from here in the middle of the night. "

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he asked, "Really?"

"Of course it is true. After observation, Hong found that the city wall was an old city wall. After our impact, it was indeed a little loose. It only needs a little force to break through."

"Haha, okay, if that's the case, then we will act at night, Zi Lian, I will give you five thousand soldiers and horses, and then you will attack the enemy's northwestern wall." Cao Cao smiled proudly.

"Ah? West, the northwest corner? My lord, we found that the loose part was the southeast corner." Cao Hong thought Cao Cao had misheard, and quickly corrected him.

But Cao Cao said: "It is precisely for you to attack the northwest corner, Zi Lian, don't you know? The way of war is that if you are false, you will be real, and if you are real, you will be false. If I let you attack the northwest corner, the enemy will think we are The one who is attacking is the northwest corner, so the main force will be dispatched to guard this place, so that the southeast corner will be empty, and in this case, I will personally lead the army to attack the southeast corner, and I will definitely be able to break through Wancheng."

"I see, my lord is really a clever plan." When Cao Hong heard what Cao Cao said, he suddenly woke up from a dream and said to Cao Cao with admiration: "General, take your orders! Haha, with my lord's clever plan, I believe that we can easily defeat Wancheng today." .”

"My lord, Zhang Xiu is fine, but this Jia Xu is not an ordinary person. At the beginning, he stirred up the world with a single word and caused chaos in Li Jue and Guo Si. Therefore, I am afraid that he will be able to see through your plan. Seeing this, Cheng Yu on the side suddenly said worriedly.

But Cao Cao said with a smile: "No matter how powerful Jia Xu is, Li Jue and Guo Si will be wiped out in the end? Don't worry, even wise men have limited wisdom. Zi Lian found that the city wall is loose, but it doesn't mean Jia If Xu can find out, if he can't, then he will definitely not know about my trick, you just wait to enter Wancheng tonight."

That night, Cao Hong led 5000 troops to suddenly attack the northwest corner of Wancheng. Zhang Xiu was very anxious when he heard the report, and immediately decided to go to the northwest corner to defend against the enemy in person.

But Jia Xu asked with a smile, "Where are you going, General?"

"Sir, why do you need to ask this question? Naturally, we want to defend against the enemy in the northwest corner. What Hu Che'er said just now is very clear. The enemy army is attacking wildly there. If we don't go there, it will be too late." Zhang Xiu said in a hurry. , is about to leave.

However, Jia Xu continued to laugh and said: "This time the general was wrong. Although Cao Cao attacked the northwest corner in performance, his main force was not here. The Chinese army's big attack was just false. Xu knew that the city wall at the southeast corner of Wancheng was loose. , so it is expected that Cao Cao must lead the army to attack there, so I advise the general to lead the people to support there, otherwise once the city is broken, we will not be able to explain to the master."

"But once the thief Cao breaks through from the northwest corner, how should I explain to the master?" This was Zhang Xiu's first encounter with a strong enemy after he was stationed in Nanyang, so he was a little nervous, and asked back after Jia Xu finished speaking. road.

But Jia Xu said solemnly: "If there is a problem, Xu will apologize to the lord alone! General, don't miss this opportunity. Once Cao Cao breaks through the city wall, with our limited number of thousands of troops in the city, we will not be able to defend Wan Wan. City, and once Wancheng is lost, I am afraid that the entire Jingzhou will not belong to the lord."

Zhang Xiu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "In that case, I will trust you once."

Then he said to Hu Che'er beside him, "Hu Che'er, immediately mobilize the army to the southeast corner to defend against the enemy. But in order to ensure the safety of the northwest corner, you need to lead a thousand soldiers to stand firm, and the opposite side has several times or even ten times the number of troops , I don’t know if you dare to go or not?”

"Haha, big brother, it's not like you don't know me. The master has raised me for so many years. He not only taught me martial arts, but also took care of my food and made me an official. How can I not repay him well? Don't say It’s just a small number of people, even if it’s 20 to [-], Hu Che’er will still ignore it, don’t worry, I’ll take a thousand brothers and have fun with them.”

After speaking, Hu Che'er led a thousand soldiers to the northwest corner.
