The last glimmer of hope in Cao Hong's heart was completely wiped out.Xu Chu's failure shows that the Qi army has completely grasped the opportunity, and the advance of their own army is under their control.

It's ridiculous that I'm still like a clown, celebrating here, and thinking about it now, it's really ridiculous.

"General, this is not the time to talk about these things. The Qi army has surrounded us, and we are in a desperate situation. Right now, it is better to break through the city and enter, stick to Dang County, and wait for work with ease."

"The city of Dang County is narrow, I'm afraid it's not easy to defend!" Cao Hong looked at the city in front of him, his eyes full of helplessness.

Even if their tens of thousands of troops entered the city, they used manpower to make up for the dilapidated city.But the Qi army outnumbered them, and it was impossible to rely on crowd tactics to make up for everything.

"The Qi army came from afar, it must be for the food in the city. As long as we control this batch of food, no matter how strong the Qi army is, they will retreat sooner or later without food!"

Yu Jin's words caught the crux of the matter, Cao Hong stopped thinking about it, and quickly led the soldiers into the city.

At this time, the Qi army in the city also withdrew from other city gates.

Dang County was completely handed over to Wei Jun.

Cao Hong gathered his soldiers and stood firm in the city, including the five thousand soldiers led by Yang Zaixing himself.

It's just that Wei Jun, who was in a panic, never expected at this moment that enemy troops would be mixed into his team.

Outside the city, Zhang Liao quietly looked at Dang County in front of him, his eyes full of ferocity.

Not for anything else, just because of the many people who died in battle under the city gate.

Pei County is the place where they have been operating for many years, and the people here are also the people of Qi State.When the enemy attacked, these people were not afraid of the strong enemy and fought fiercely. There were less than 3000 survivors out of more than 500 people.

And all of this was brought by Wei Guo and Cao Hong.

As the chief general, Zhang Liao secretly vowed in his heart that he must make Wei Jun pay for his debts with blood.

At this moment, Zhao Yun pulled on his horse and came quickly, and when he came close to Zhang Liao, he slowed down and said in a low voice: "General Yang has already entered the city, I believe the city is about to be broken."

Zhang Liao nodded slightly.

The Qi army went out three ways, although they all won big victories.

But right now, the most successful party must be himself.

Cao Hong led more than 6 elite soldiers of the Wei army into Dang County.It seems that they have pinched their own lifeline and grasped the food, but they don't know that this city is the huge tomb that Zhang Liao prepared for them.

Entering it, there is only one dead end.

"How are the preparations in the city?"

Zhao Yun waved his hand to signal the Dang County guard who broke out from the siege.

This Dang County guard general is only seventh-rank in terms of military rank, and he probably never dreamed that he would meet Zhang Liao this day.

He came to the front full of excitement, bowed and saluted to show respect.

"Lieutenant Zhou, how are the preparations in the city?"

"The last general has received the general's order before, and has buried a large number of fire starters in various places in the city. As long as the Wei army in the city cooks food, it will definitely cause a fire and create panic. However, the last general has something to do in advance. , failed to inform the general, I hope the general will forgive me."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Liao frowned slightly.

Burning Dang County was what he planned. If he succeeded, it would be enough to hold tens of thousands of troops.If he fails, Cao Hong will definitely become a bird of fright, and it will be much more difficult to win.

"The general originally asked the general to burn all the grain and grass stored in the city, but the general did not burn it."

"What!" Zhang Liao was furious when he heard this.

Food is very important to them, as is the Wei army in the city.

If the food and grass fall into their hands, they can wait for work with ease and slowly fight a war of attrition with themselves.And this is what I don't want to see.

Encircling but not attacking is the way to win.

"The general ordered you to burn the food and grass again and again. If you don't follow the general's order and act like this, how can I keep you. Someone, push Zhou Man out and chop it up."

"Slow! General, although I didn't burn the food and grass, I hid the food and grass in a suitable place, so I can be sure that nothing will go wrong."

Zhang Liao's face brightened when he heard the words, and quickly arranged various armies to prepare for a fire attack, breaking through the Wei army in the city in one fell swoop.

Chapter 805 Burning the Wei Army

When Wei Jun entered the city, he was relieved to see that Qi Jun was not in a hurry to attack.

The only thing that displeased Cao Hong was that, after searching in the city, he did not find the ten thousand stone grain and grass hoarded by the Qi army.

Food and grass are extremely important to both Qi and Wei.The Wei army rushed, in order to speed up, the accompanying soldiers and horses did not carry much food and grass, and it was five days' food if they were full.Excluding the previous consumption, they only have three days of food left.

If the food and grass of the Qi army in the city cannot be found, their tens of thousands of troops may fall into a situation where there is no food to eat.

Cao Hong sighed for a while, there was a saying in Buddhism that everything has a cause and effect, and the cause and effect are elusive.They originally used food and grass to destroy the Qi army, but they didn't expect that the offense and defense would be reversed in just a short moment, and now they are standing on the same starting line with the Qi army again.

The outcome suddenly became elusive.

As evening approached, even though there was a shortage of food and grass, Cao Hong could not keep his soldiers fed. Moreover, the Qi army was setting up camp, so they would not be in a hurry to attack for a while. They could take advantage of this time to rest and recover the energy consumed by the previous raid. physical strength.All camps and villages, upon hearing the news, took out grain and buried pots to make rice.

In Dang County, there are many houses, and every household has ready-made dry firewood and stoves, which saves the soldiers the hard work of digging stoves to find firewood.

What is strange is that only the defeated soldiers of Tiger Marquis Xu Chu sat and rested in a group from the beginning to the end. They didn't bother to make a fire and cook food, and they all took out the dry food in their arms and ate it.

Although dry food is very filling, it is not a hot mouthful after all.

Long-distance raids can satisfy hunger temporarily.If it is eaten day and night, it is difficult for anyone to accept it.

"Hey, brothers, why don't you cook with fire? But there is no food. If you don't have any, you can get some from me!" A Wei Jun dressed as a school lieutenant came over.

Yang Zaixing, who was dressed as a school captain, glanced at the other party, then slowly stood up and bowed his hands, saying: "I'll wait for you, brother."

The name Xiongtai seems to have aroused the other party's interest.Not only did he not leave, but he even walked over here.

The two lieutenants beside Yang Zaixing inadvertently put their hands on the accessories around their waists, ready to attack at any time.

Yang Zaixing shook his head at them, signaling everyone to calm down.

"Brother, is there anything else?"

The Colonel Wei Jun in front of him looked Yang Zaixing up and down, his face full of doubts.After thinking about it, he asked again and again: "Hu Hou's subordinates are all the elite of the Huben Army, and I am familiar with all the lieutenants and generals, but this brother seems a little strange."

When Yang Zaixing heard this, a fierce light flashed across his face.

It was still early, and there was still an hour left in the time agreed with Zhang Liao.

If the news leaks out at this time and disrupts all the deployments, it may affect the whole body and cause chaos on the entire front.
