Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 350 Cao Hong had no choice but to die Chen Guo

After Lu Guang arrived in Chen County, he, Ma Chao and Pang De began to attack the city.

Ma Chao is very good at commanding cavalry, but he is not very good at siege.When Ma Chao was in the Academy of Military Sciences, when he was conducting siege drills, his grades were the last. If it weren't for his superb cavalry skills, he might not be able to graduate.Therefore, among the opinions given by the Ministry of War is that, unless it is absolutely necessary, do not personally command the siege.

Pound's siege performance was much better than Ma Chao's, but not much better, only two higher than him, and Ma Dai was sandwiched between the two of them.

This is similar to when they seldom siege cities in the Yongliang area, and there are very few studies on sieges.In history, it took Ma Chao eight months to attack Ji County. You must know that he had at least 2 troops (he had tens of thousands himself, and Yang Ang sent by Zhang Lu had [-]). It is only a medium-sized county town, and there are not many soldiers in the city, which shows how Ma Chao's siege ability is.

And after Yang Fu and the others rebelled, Liang Kuan and Zhao Qu secretly occupied Ji County.Secretly, pay attention to this adjective, it can be described as secretly, there will not be many soldiers and horses to form two people, maybe not even 1000 people.Driven by the hatred of killing his wife and son, Ma Chao still couldn't conquer Ji County.

However, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Dai are all very capable cavalry, and coupled with their own bravery, he is not afraid of anyone at all in field battles.

But Cao Hong was afraid of them. Cao Hong had only 5000 people. When he heard that Ma Chao was leading an army of [-], he didn't dare to go out of the city to fight.He knew Ma Chao's name. Cao Cao was almost killed by Ma Chao back then, and Cao Cao ran rampant in Guanzhong, shaking Qiang and Hu. What kind of prestige is it?Cao Hong knew how many catties and taels he was, and he would die in a field battle, so it was better to defend the city.

Fortunately, when Lu Guang came, Ma Chao immediately handed over the matter of siege to Lu Guang. Otherwise, he could only hand it over to his lieutenant to command, and any lieutenant would be better than him.Lu Guang learned a lot under Su Lie, and he still has some experience in siege, and his siege results were fairly average when he was in the Academy of Military Sciences.

Ma Chao had built a lot of siege equipment before this, and all of them were handed over to Lu Guang.After Lu Guang got these siege equipment, he immediately launched an attack on Chen County.

Catapults and well curbs showed their power outside the city, and Pound and Ma Dai even went up first in person.Ma Chao didn't go, his reputation is too great, many people know what he looks like.

On the first day of the attack, the morale of the soldiers in Chen County was not strong. Facing the trebuchet, few people could talk and laugh happily.

However, Cao Hong personally took command at the top of the city and led his soldiers to watch the attack.But at night, he couldn't stand it anymore. Although he was not injured all day, the casualties of the soldiers in the city were too great, more than 500, and the casualties and losses had exceeded [-]%.If he hadn't personally commanded on the city wall, someone might have escaped long ago.

But Cao Hong has no choice. He doesn't even dare to leave the city and escape.Ma Chao was waiting for him with his cavalry outside the city, and even if he could escape Ma Chao's pursuit, he would certainly not be able to escape Cao Pi's persecution in the end.

It's not that Cao Hong didn't think about surrendering, but when he thought about surrendering to Zhang Yi, he couldn't accept it.Cao Hong and Cao Cao are the best. Among these princes, Cao Cao hates Zhang Yi the most. If Zhang Yi hadn't betrayed him, Cao Cao would have ruled the world long ago.Cao Hong has always been dissatisfied with Zhang Yi, he does not want to surrender Zhang Yi.After so long, he could only hold on. The next day, Cao Hong let the soldiers who participated in the battle yesterday rest, and replaced them with another group of soldiers who did not participate in the battle.

Cao Hong's trick made him survive another day, but on the third day, he couldn't stand it anymore.Pang De led people to the city, controlled a section of the city wall, and then Lu Guang quickly sent people up to support.

Relying on Pound's bravery, he only occupied a cup of tea on the city wall, and dozens of soldiers climbed up the wall to help him withstand the attack, and quickly gained a firm foothold on the city wall.

When Cao Hong saw the enemy climbing the city wall, he immediately organized a counterattack, trying to take the city wall back.But after trying several times without success, Zhang Yijun controlled a large section of the city wall instead.

As more and more Zhang Yi's troops were on the city wall, Cao Hong immediately retreated into the city.It was impossible not to retreat, and the soldiers in the city had already begun to flee.Zhang Yijun, who occupied the city wall, immediately cleared the city wall and shot arrows on the city wall to block reinforcements from Cao's soldiers below the city.With the inherent advantage of bows and crossbows, and the advantage of the city wall, Cao Jun could not resist at all.

Cao Hong finally defended the county government. There were only more than a hundred soldiers, and the remaining Cao soldiers either surrendered or fled.

Soon, Lu Guang commanded the soldiers to control the whole city, and Ma Chao took the cavalry to stop Cao Jun from deserting.

Lu Guang led people to surround the county government office, used pillars to knock open the gate, and rushed in easily.Cao Hong led his men to guard for half an hour. In the end, he refused to surrender and was hacked to death with random knives.

A few hours later, Ma Chao also drove Cao Jun to escape and returned to Chen County. Lu Guang was considered to have completed his attack on Chen County.After capturing Chen County, Lu Guang launched an attack on Chen State.Ma Chao led Ma Dai westward from Chen County, attacked Changping, entered Xinji County in Yingchuan County, threatened Yanling, joined Su Lie, and threatened Cao Chun.Pang De went north from Chen County, took Xinping to attack Yangxia and Fule to deter Chenliu County.

Lu Guang himself attacked Ningping to the east, then Kuxian, Wuping, and Zhexian to the north, and then attacked Liang Guo to the north.Liang Guo is the last Yuzhou county that Zhang Yi has not touched. As long as it is taken down, Zhang Yi can establish another state-level government.

Lu Guang attacked Yan County of Liang State from Zhe County, Ningling, Meng County, Yu County, Suiyang, and Gushu, and finally stationed in Suiyang, and sent Xiaowei to the east to attack Yi and Dang County.

Zhang Yi got Shouchun's nomination list, and finally named Pang Shanmin as governor of Yuzhou, Xu Huiyan as prefect of Yingchuan, Zhang Su as prefect of Peijun, Peng Yi as prefect of Liangjun, and Wang Lian as prefect of Chenjun.Pei Guo, Chen Guo, and Liang Guo were all changed to Pei Jun, Chen Jun, and Liang Jun by Zhang Yi.

After one month of dispatching troops, two states were captured. Zhang Yi was very satisfied with the progress.This time he planned to fight the war for five months, and the target was set to the south of the river.

As for the place north of the river, it will be placed in a few years.Zhang Yi wants a stable world, not a chaotic unity.If he wanted a chaotic unification, he would have beaten Cao Cao long ago.Zhang Yi dared to say that the group of generals under him could easily kill even three opponents like Cao Cao.

At this time, things started to happen in Luoyang.
