The Qi army in Dang County is not a generation of wine bags and rice bags.When Zhang Liao started his strategy, these soldiers also acted according to the plan, and buried a large amount of food and grass on the spot to prevent it from being burned by the Wei army when the battle broke out.
The Qi and Wei armies continued to deploy defenses in this small area.
In the evening three days later, the army led by Cao Hong Yujin finally arrived under Dang County.And set up camp outside the city of Dang County, ready to attack the city.
As the commander-in-chief, Cao Hong naturally focused on military affairs.Ever since, the work of setting up camp was left to the experienced Yu Jin. He led a team of elite soldiers and rushed to the city of Dang County to check the city defenses and make a plan to break the city quickly.
Cao Hong was overjoyed by this investigation.
Unlike other cities, this Dang County is really a small town.
The city wall less than two feet in front of Cao Jun was like a flat ground.Although the city has been reinforced, its thickness is only more than one foot, and it cannot accommodate too many soldiers to guard it.Among the four gates, except for the Urn City in the east, which can act as a buffer, the other three gates have no buffer.And most importantly, the moat outside the city unexpectedly bottomed out, and the land of Yanzhou, which had not rained for many days, gave Wei Jun the best chance to win the first battle.
If the river is filled, maybe they will lose the opportunity.
But after observing right now, Cao Hong can be sure that within an hour, he can break through the city within an hour.
The morale and fighting spirit of the Qi army defending the city above the city gate were not very high, and the banners were rather messy. When Cao Hong led the army to investigate, there was already a commotion above the city gate, and the voices of yelling and shouting were endless.The generals and soldiers are running around, and the orders are chaotic and not neat, which is a typical performance of second- and third-rate troops.
Such an army is far from the "hundred battle elite soldiers" under Cao Hong's command.
After observing for a while, Cao Hong said decisively: "After the soldiers have lunch, there must be no mistake in attacking the city immediately!"
The lieutenant returned with orders.
There were no more than three to 4000 people in the city of Dang County. While the Wei army was camping, rumors began to spread in the city that after the Wei army broke through the city, they would massacre all the soldiers and civilians in the city.
Although there are a few people who refuse to believe this rumor.But most of the people are still skeptical, and at the same time, for the sake of their own lives, these people also began to fully support the Qi army to defend the city.
The guard guard did not organize all of them into the guarding team, but according to Zhang Liao's general order, he organized all these people into a brigade, so that they could be used as surprise soldiers in case of unforeseen circumstances.
At the same time, after lunch, the Wei army outside the city began to get ready to attack the city.
Attacking the city naturally requires siege vehicles, siege vehicles and other siege equipment.But facing the small Dang County in front of him, Cao Hong didn't even think it was necessary to prepare for these things.
All the soldiers, lined up, only need to carry the ladder to attack quickly, and they will be able to capture the city without any effort.
Just when all the Wei soldiers were in high spirits, they were looking forward to the feat after breaking the city.
At this moment, the city gate opened by itself.
Not only that, among the city gates, the people lined up, either leading oxen and sheep, or carrying burdens, sparsely, calmly, and walked out with a smile on their faces.
"Surrendered?" The smile on Cao Hong's face was self-evident.
Although Dang County is a small city, if it can defeat others without fighting, it will not only set off the power of Wei State, but also save them from a lot of fighting, why not do it!
Because of this, he did not stop these people, but let them run around.
For a moment, at the gate of the city, shouts, animals' chirping, and people's cheers all mixed together, making it look extraordinarily chaotic.
Because people brought too many things, when they reached the gate of the city, it became crowded and became a mess.
Cao Hong couldn't help laughing at the "interesting" scene in front of him.
But Yu Jin beside him was secretly worried.
The east gate was not the main location for their attack, but at this moment, the city gate opened, the news of the surrender of the Qi army leaked out, and the Wei army at the other gates quickly gathered.Many Wei Jun watched the "performance" of these common people as if they were watching a play.
The previous attack preparations seemed to be gone, and now if the Wei army wanted to enter the city, they had to wait for all the people at the gate of the city to leave the city.
One in and one out not only put Wei Jun in a dilemma; moreover, they lost every minute of their time.
"General, I'm afraid there is fraud here, we must let the people out of the city quickly."
Cao Hong didn't take it seriously, and laughed loudly: "The people are afraid of our army's power, so they go out of the city and surrender. How can it be fraudulent?"
Yu Jin asked rhetorically, "Since it is a surrender, why do we only see the people but not the soldiers? From this, it can be inferred that these people must have surrendered falsely, and the purpose is to delay time."
A cold light flashed in Cao Hong's eyes, and he was about to speak when suddenly an arrow fell from the sky.
Chapter 804 Encircling Dang County
"Pfft!" There was a scream, followed by blood spatter.
Looking intently, I saw the soldiers of the Qi army suddenly appearing on the top of the city, and the crossbowmen attacked quickly.The soldiers of the Wei army all focused their attention on the common people, and no one paid any attention to the actions of other people on the top of the city.
Although the soldiers in the city are all local soldiers, they have not fought for a long time.But under the random shooting at the moment, many soldiers of the Wei army still fell under the bows and crossbows.
As soon as the offensive started, the people under the city gate immediately lost their effect.They fled in all directions, cattle, sheep and other livestock lost control and ran around, making the gate of the city even more chaotic.
"Seize the city gate, quickly seize the city gate, and enter the city!" Cao Hong shouted.Unfortunately, in the current situation, his words alone were completely covered by the noisy voices.
The soldiers were at a loss and just instinctively dodged the incoming arrows.
It was previously predicted that Dang County would be broken by tens of thousands of Wei troops if it persisted for an hour at most.But right now, relying on the confusion of the people, Dang County actually held on for an extra hour.
An extra hour, for the Qi army, the odds of winning are even greater.
Among the rebellious army, Yu Jin couldn't bear it anymore, and finally made up his mind and said to Cao Hong: "General, you can't be more merciful. These people are collaborating with Qi, and their crimes are unforgivable. You must kill them all, and kill them all. Keep."
Cao Hong pushed aside several arrows with a knife, and said angrily, "Beat the drum, attack, kill them all, leave no one behind!"
The war drum sounded suddenly.
When the generals of the Wei army heard the sound of the drum, they waved their weapons mercilessly one by one, madly massacring the people in front of them.
The total number of people is more than 3000.How could they withstand their crazy behavior, and after a while, they all fell into a pool of blood.
Cao Hong finally removed all obstacles and was about to lead his army into the city. At this moment, the rear army suddenly became agitated.
A flying horse rushed over quickly, went straight to Cao Hong and bowed to report: "General, something is wrong, Qi army, Qi army is here!"
"Qi Army? Where did the Qi Army come from?" Cao Hong was confused.You know, I have already sent troops here before the Qi army left.It stands to reason that the Qi army still has at least hundreds of miles to go at this time, so how could they arrive now.
"From a distance, it looks like Zhang Liao's general flag."
"Zhang Liao?" Cao Hong frowned deeply, his eyes were full of anger, and just as he was about to explode, another fast horse came galloping from the northeast.He bowed and saluted and said: "General, in the northeast direction, there are defeated soldiers from our army, the number is about 5000."
"What?" Cao Hong only felt that his head was not enough.
He can still understand that the Qi army outflanked the rear.But in this northeast direction, where did the friendly army come from?It seems that I didn't arrange soldiers and horses there.
Suddenly, he thought of something, his eyes widened, and he looked at the messenger in front of him in disbelief.
"Flag, what is the flag?"
"Xu, it seems to be Huhou's general flag!"
