Chapter 129 Unraveling the Siege of Xinji

The scouts came to Cao Cao and said in fear: "My lord! We saw a large number of troops in the distance!"

Cao Cao's body shook when he heard this, and he looked at the scout kneeling on the ground and said.

"who are they?"

The scout looked at Cao Cao tremblingly and said, "Master Hui, I don't know!"

"Could it be Tao Qian's army?"

When Cao Cao heard that there was an army, the first thing he thought of was Tao Qian, who was the closest, but Cao Cao quickly dispelled this idea. After all, although Tao Qian had a feud with Cao Cao, with Tao Qian's character, he would not and would not dare to do so. Late to support.

At this time, Cao Cao couldn't control so much and hurriedly ordered: "Everyone, speed up and attack the city!"

Although Han Xin gave the order to fight and retreat before, many people still had no time to retreat in the face of the cavalry's charge.

Those who did not retreat included Bai Qi and Yue Fei. At this time, Yue Fei was holding a spear in his hand on the white horse and picked countless enemy guns off the horse.

He raised his head tiredly and looked ahead. He knew that the sudden night attack would be a huge blow to morale, but he didn't expect it to be so severe.

As a result, many recruits were so frightened that they could not hold their weapons steadily, and some recruits were killed just like this.

Not far away at this time, Cao Cao's soldiers began to pour into the city like crazy.

After repelling a group of people, Yue Fei and others got a respite, and Han Xin also saw the opportunity and led his men to kill them after counting the soldiers.

Soon the three of them met at the warehouse in the outer city, where all their rations and equipment were stored.

"General Han, this time I blame Bai for his lack of strict management of the army, which led to a surprise attack by thieves."

Bai Qi came up to Han Xin and said, Han Xin looked at Bai Qi with blood on his face and shook his head and said.

"It's not your fault, General. Even I didn't expect them to attack at night. The plan now is not to admit their mistakes but to kill the enemy."

When Bai Qi heard this, he nodded in agreement. At this time, Cao Cao's third wave of shock was coming.

The iron hooves of the cavalry began to approach them continuously with the shaking of the torches.

"I don't want to die."

A soldier saw the scene in front of him, dropped the weapon in his hand and ran back, just as he was about to run out of the queue.

A spear pierced his chest, the soldier fell down in terror, and the owner of the spear drew out the spear and shouted.

"If anyone dares to step back, this person is an example!"

Frightened by Yue Fei, no one dared to retreat anymore, and Cao Cao's soldiers entering the city at this time kept accelerating.

They knew that as long as all the remaining people in the city were dealt with, Xinji County would be theirs.

What Cao Cao promised before was about to be fulfilled, thinking about the money and food in the city, their pace accelerated again.

At this time, an army stood neatly outside Xinji County.

"Everyone is ready to fight!"

Following Ye Xiao's order, countless soldiers marched in the direction of Xinji County in neat steps.

"My lord, it's Ye Xiao, he personally led the crowd to come here!"

Hearing the scout's report, Cao Cao looked at Han Xin and the others in the city, and at Ye Xiao who was getting closer behind him. At this moment, he entered the most important choice in his life.

Should he choose to attack Han Xin in the city, or attack Ye Xiao behind him.

But Cao Cao knew that if he could not capture Han Xin within a quarter of an hour, then he would face a double attack.

Cao Cao said with a long sigh of relief: "Everyone speed up and capture Xinji!"

After ordering, the generals of various departments no longer cared about the death of soldiers and began to rush in.

Time passed by every minute, but the Han Xin troops in front of them didn't mean to be defeated at all.

"My lord, Ye Xiao is less than a hundred meters away from us."

"Xia Houyuan listened to the order, you take 5000 people to intercept, be sure to hold them back."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Xia Houyuan led 5000 people towards Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao sat on the horse and saw Xia Houyuan approaching in the distance, and said to the cavalry.

"The cavalry obeyed the order and turned to the right, the infantry attacked slowly, and the archers were ready to shoot arrows!"

After receiving the order, the cavalry detoured back to Xiahouyuan's right side, and then the infantry began to march forward in an orderly manner, and soon the two sides were about to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Ye Xiao ordered to the archers: "Everyone shoot!"

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

Countless bows and arrows were shot out, and the infantry on the opposite side also fell to the ground. At this moment, Ye Xiao saw the opportunity and gave orders to the semaphore soldiers beside him.

After receiving Ye Xiao's order, the semaphore soldiers began to wave their flags at the cavalry. In an instant, [-] cavalry rushed out from the right side of Xiahouyuan's infantry.

The impact of five hundred infantry made the ground tremble.

"kill!"

The cavalry shouted and rushed into the formation of Xiahouyuan's infantry, and the cavalry slaughtered the infantry like wolves into a flock of sheep.

Slowly Xia Houyuan's troops began to collapse, and Xia Houyuan ran towards Xinji County with only 300 people.

"My lord, we are defeated."

Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan who had returned in defeat, and he knew that Xinji County would not be taken down.

"Everyone retreat!"

Following Cao Cao's retreat, Ye Xiao brought his people to Xinji County.

Seeing Ye Xiao, Han Xin hurried forward to salute and said, "Thanks to the lord for saving me this time."

Ye Xiao looked at the people covered in blood and smiled and said: "Okay, let's count the wounded, and prepare to attack after dawn."

Han Xin was taken aback when he heard Ye Xiao's words: "My lord, what are you doing?"

"Now that winter is coming, we'd better take this opportunity to kill Cao Cao, otherwise we won't have enough food and grass when the snow comes down."

Han Xin naturally knew that Ye Xiao was right, so he turned around and went to count the wounded.

At this time Cao Cao returned to his tent, and angrily threw the jug on the table to the ground.

"Almost! Almost! Xinji County is mine, and I can enter Yanzhou!"

Facing the angry Cao Cao, Xun Yu didn't dare to speak. When Cao Cao's anger disappeared, Xun Yu stepped forward and said.

"My lord, today's defeat may not necessarily be a good thing."

"How to say."

After calming down, Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and asked.

"My lord, if Ye Xiao has come this time, it proves that there is no one defending Yuzhou. If Zhang Xiu sneaks into Ye Xiao's rear at this time, Ye Xiao will definitely return to help."

Hearing what Xun Yu said, Cao Cao said excitedly.

"That's right, as long as I write a letter to Zhang Xiu, then we will attack from both sides. How can Ye Xiao be undefeated?"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he came to write a letter to Zhang Xiu. At this moment, Wen Chou came in and said.

"Cao Gong, I just received a letter from my lord Feige, and I learned that my lord has led [-] elite soldiers to cross the Yellow River and arrive at Chenliu in a few days!"

"Okay! God help me too!"

This news wiped away Cao Cao's sense of defeat and defeat.
