Chapter 213 Entering Youzhou
"Oh?" The sudden report made Cao Jun's big tent quiet for a while, and then Cao Cao sounded suspicious, and immediately said: "Submit the secret letter!"

"No!" Responding, I saw that the military officer took out a blood-stained letter and presented it respectfully. Cao Cao didn't need to do it himself. General Cao Ren had already accepted the letter and handed it to Cao Cao for his own reading. .

"En." After reading the secret letter in his hand, Cao Cao couldn't help squinting his eyes, but there was no expression on his face. After pondering for a while, he said to the military officer: "Where is that spy? Bring it here too! I have something to ask him!" After that, he directly handed the letter in his hand to Cheng Yu who was next to him, expressing his intentions at the moment.

Cheng Yu took the letter in his hand, and started to look it up. Then, Dang even showed a little joy on his face. It turned out that what was written in the letter was exactly what everyone had discussed about the princes and ministers in Chang'an City. information!
Apparently, the princes and ministers in the city had received the news that Cao Cao led the troops to attack Chang'an, so they specially sent someone to inform them this time, hoping to cooperate with the inside and outside, break through Chang'an, and rescue the emperor!
After reading the letter in his hand, Cheng Yu was inevitably excited. After passing the letter to other generals for review, he smiled and said, "My lord, it seems that we can break the city this time!"

Cao Cao said calmly: "Whether it is really hopeful to break the city, we need to meet that person to know."

It didn't take long for two soldiers to escort a bound soldier into the big tent. As soon as the soldier came in, he saw Cao Cao and the others inside the tent, and immediately shouted: "My lords! My little man!" I came out of the city to find some adults under the order of Taiwei Master Yang!"

"Shut up!" Cao Cao frowned slightly, snorted coldly, stopped the soldier immediately, and asked in a deep voice, "To be honest, who are you? What's the point of fleeing the city and sneaking into our army?" Intention? If you dare to deceive even half of it, be careful with your head!"

After being threatened by Cao Cao, the soldier was so frightened that he couldn't help but shuddered. He looked at Cao Cao with fear on his face, and then responded tremblingly: "Master... my lord, my villain He is a general from the residence of Lord Taiwei Yang, and this time he came out of the city on Lord Yang's order."

"Oh?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, but he stared at the soldier's expression. Cheng Yu and others were about to say something, but Cao Cao waved to stop him. He smiled and asked: "It's a matter of business." Important, you said you were sent by Taiwei Yang Biao? What evidence do you have?"

"Yes! Yes! Of course there is!" Seeing Cao Cao's majesty, the soldier hurriedly said: "The villain brought Master Yang's autographed letter, and I have already handed it over to him. If you still don't believe me, I will There is Master Yang's private seal on the man's chest! The general can use it for verification!" After that, the soldier puffed out his chest, and when everyone saw his chest bulging, they realized that there was something hidden inside.

With a wave of Cao Cao's hand, one of his personal guards stepped forward to untie the rope for the soldier, and took out the private seal from the soldier's arms. After a little identification, he can be sure that it is indeed the personal seal of the current Taiwei Yang Biao. print.

Until this time, Cao Cao finally showed a complete smile on his face, and said in his mouth: "Tell me, Lord Yang sent you out of the city, but what do you want to tell us?"

The soldier hurriedly said: "My lord, my lord has united with many ministers who are loyal to the Han Dynasty in the court, and is preparing to launch an attack at midnight tomorrow night. At that time, my lord will send someone to open the city gate and use a torch as a sign. Welcome your lord's rebel army to enter the city, let's kill Dong Bandit's henchmen together!"

While the situation inside and outside Chang'an City was surging, Youzhou, Daijun, and Gaoliu City were completely in panic at this moment. Countless Gaoliu County soldiers gathered in panic on the top of the city, looking down from a high position and looking into the distance. The enemy troops began to arrange their troops in an orderly manner.

As a county government, the soldiers of Gaoliu City should not be so miserable. In the past, even in the face of the looting of the Hu people outside the Great Wall, they have never been afraid. The elite troops baptized with blood, but at this moment, they really panicked, because the enemy they faced was too strong and their reputation was too great.

The Taiping Army, which swept and occupied most of the Han Dynasty, finally entered Youzhou. In other words, the Han Dynasty is about to cease to exist, because the land that originally belonged to the Han Dynasty has basically been occupied by the Taiping Army. Now, with the outcome of the Battle of Jieqiao decided, the Han Dynasty no longer had the power to resist the Taiping Army.

Facing Huqi on the grassland, in order to defend their home and country, and for the glory in the bones of the Han army, they can put life and death aside, even if they die in battle, they will not hesitate. But at this moment, what they have to face is the Han army. The Taiping Army did not belong to the Han Dynasty, but they were all in the name of Huaxia. Therefore, this time, it was a civil war. Invisibly, before the war started, they had already lost three points of their vigor.

On the top of the city tower, Gongsun Xu, the general of Daijun, led a group of soldiers to stand on the top of the city, watching the Taiping Army's rigorous formation and mighty momentum in the distance, with a serious look on his face.

The Taiping Army swept across the world. As we all know, there are many fierce generals under Xiao Lan's command, not to mention Huang Zhong who can confront Lu Bu head-on, but Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Tai Shici, Gao Lan, Chen Dao, Zhou Tai and others , are all first-class brave generals in the world, with extraordinary force.

Chen Dao and Xu Chu, who came to attack Dai Jun this time, were both rare and fierce generals in the world. Although Gongsun Xu considered himself to be a first-class military general, he really had no respect for Chen Dao and Xu Chu. Odds.

"General, the enemy army has moved, and they have begun to attack the city!" Several soldiers beside Gongsun Xu couldn't help screaming when they saw the movement in the opposite barracks.

"Woo-woo-woo-" The sound of the heavy horn echoed continuously on the battlefield, but all soldiers who were familiar with the battlefield knew that this was the signal of the impending development.

Immediately, the sound of war drums thundered, and tens of thousands of Taiping troops were pushing forward with siege equipment, and soon, they were about to enter the siege defense boundary.

Gongsun Xu suddenly became alert and shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "Brothers, we are all Han frontier troops, and it is our duty to guard the Han Dynasty. Now, the invasion of Taiping rebels is imminent, and we must be mentally prepared at all costs. At all costs, repel the bandit army!"

"Promise!" The city guards are by no means ordinary soldiers, they are the real elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty. Following Gongsun Xu's shout and call, they immediately broke out with a high fighting spirit. As long as the Taiping Army enters the attack limit, they will obey the general's order , launching their most violent attack.

However, at the moment when they were about to enter the attack limit, the Taiping Army suddenly stopped attacking, and then one after another, the catapults were pushed up.

That's right, it is the catapult, to be precise, it is an improved long-range catapult. In this era without gunpowder, this long-range catapult is the most terrifying war machine.

"Let go!" Following Chen Dao's order, dozens of long-range trebuchets were launched at the same time, and dozens of huge stones were thrown out in unison, like a shower of locusts, heading straight for the top of Gaoliu City. Booming to.

Facing this terrible scene, the defenders on the top of the city couldn't help but turn pale with fright. They used to face wild horses from the prairie, but they had never seen such a sharp weapon for siege, a huge stone smashed on top of the city, The city wall that was smashed immediately shook, and the defenders who couldn't escape in time, if they were a little careless, they would be smashed to death on the spot.

Seeing this scene happening, Gongsun Xu couldn't help but feel his eyes tearing apart, but he knew in his heart that this was probably just the first attack by the Taiping Army. I'm afraid I can't keep it no matter what.

Sure enough, his idea was correct. With Chen Dao's shout, dozens of long-range trebuchets from the Taiping Army launched attacks one after another, and huge boulders kept falling on the top of the city, shaking the city wall. The people who smashed it were terrified, and for a moment, the offensive and defensive battle of Gaoliu City began...
