Chapter 732

Meng Gang handed the letter from Huangfu Chaobo to Tao Qian, and then said, "my Lord, please rest assured that although our army is the only one coming, tens of thousands of other armies will advance into the territory of Cao thief together with the army of Chen liuzhang, and the two strategies will go hand in hand to force Cao thief's army to retreat."

Tao Qian and all the people in Xuzhou were very happy. General Huangfu's plan was feasible. After discussing the military situation, Meng Gang left the city and returned to his camp.

Before he left, Tao Qian stopped it and encouraged Haosheng. At the same time, he also revealed that he wanted to recommend it to the imperial court. This news made him very happy and proud. There was a top counselor who could consider everything for himself.

This time, the night incense originally wanted to lead three or five thousand soldiers to the scene, but Xi Zhicai strongly opposed it. After carefully analyzing the gains and losses of the night incense, he convinced the night incense to do its best and almost suppressed it. Sure enough, when Tao Qian saw his situation, he began to draw the cake.

However, night incense also knows that it's not so easy to eat this cake. It depends on your next performance.

On December 8, the first snow in the Central Plains stopped. As the snow stopped, the war started again. Under the Tan county seat, Cao Cao decided to retreat in the near future after consulting with the generals. However, even if he withdrew, Cao Cao decided to eat the 30000 reinforcements under the city.

With the sound of the bugle in Cao's camp, the whole world suddenly boils up. As the camp door opens, a group of soldiers come out of the camp and slowly approach the city wall.

The movement of Cao's camp outside the city shocked the garrison in the city and the reinforcement camp in the north of the city. A moment later, Tao Qian, who got the news, led the people of Xuzhou to the wall. When he saw the governor, the general Cao Bao quickly welcomed him and said, "I've seen you, my Lord!"

"General Cao is free. Is Cao Cao ready to attack the city?" Tao Qian waved his hand;

although Cao Bao was jokingly called "Cao Bao" in history, since he is a son of an aristocratic family and a captain of Xuzhou, Qi Shizhen has nothing to do with talent and learning, but has a certain gap with those famous historical generals.

He had seen the movement of Cao Ying for a long time. Seeing Tao Qian's inquiry, he quickly bowed down and said, "Lord Hui, the bandits of Cao are going to attack the city, but there are 30000 reinforcements outside the city, so it seems that we have spare strength in this attack."

With that, Cao Bao pointed to Cao Cao's army outside the city, and everyone looked in the direction of his fingers. Sure enough, although Cao Cao's army was preparing to attack the city, it set aside nearly 30000 troops to defend the north of the city, and only 50000 troops were used for frontal attack.

Tao Qian also fought all his life, but he was too old to dance, and he still had some vision. It's a pity that although Xuzhou is rich in soldiers, there is no general who dares to fight. Otherwise, there is no room for Cao's bandits to run wild. It seems that this strange man of night incense really should be reused.

Seeing that the war was about to start, they quickly asked Tao Qian to go down to the city wall to prevent injuries caused by bows and arrows.

Less than a quarter of an hour after Tao Qian left the city wall, the cry of killing sounded again at the head of Tan county, which had been quiet for two days. This time, not only Cao Bao's generals, but also Xuzhou's soldiers and soldiers were much braver than before. Everyone knows that there are 30000 elite reinforcements outside the city to support themselves, so the war was very exciting at the beginning.

At the beginning of the battle at the head of the city, three miles northwest of the city wall, the armies outside the city began to confront each other. The leader of Cao Cao's army was Xia Houdun, with lejin and LV Qian as deputy generals. The siege generals are Cao Ren and Jia Kui. Cao Cao's idea is to use the siege to draw 30000 reinforcements out, and then say that there is a chance to destroy them in the wild.

Sure enough, as Cao Ying's generals expected, at the beginning of the war on the city wall, reinforcements from outside the city were forced to the direction of XiahouDun's army. Unfortunately, only 20000 troops came out of 30000 troops, and 10000 troops were still defending the camp. However, the generals were not worried. Their 30000 troops were against each other's 20000 troops, not to mention Kong Rong's Northern Navy. They were not worried about Xia Houdun's army.

The 30000 troops in the north of the city went out to fight against the first school of menggang after the war and the first school of the Northern Navy, plus the elite of the two schools of yelaixiang, while the soldiers of the other two schools of the Northern Navy stayed at the camp.

As early as before leaving the camp, yelaixiang seconded Guan hai to menggang and gave him a troop. As early as before sending troops, yelaixiang told Yuexi and Guanhai. After the Second World War, he didn't have to worry about the casualties, so he could kill the generals directly. This kind of play is the most popular among the two generals, and they are very happy.

There are two reasons for this. One is to train troops. After the war in Beihai, yelaixiang has seen that although its troops are elite, they are still far behind the elite of Huangfu Chaobo and imperial overlord. Therefore, yelaixiang wants to train thousands of elite soldiers from these 10000 soldiers, who have really gone through the war.

The second is to show Tao Qian that even if there are three or five thousand soldiers left in the end of the ten thousand soldiers, if he can change the position of prefect, yelaixiang will not lose. Even if Tao Qian does not appoint him as prefect at that time, these soldiers will make up for him. Xi Zhicai is very determined to tell yelaixiang, so he dares to gamble with his ten thousand talents.At the beginning of the war outside the city, just like the city wall, it became white hot in an instant. As a matter of fact, the ten thousand soldiers and horses of yelaixiang are not weak. Although they don't reach the level of forbidden guard above level nine, they are much better than the ordinary high-level arms of level seven. They have basically reached level 40.

Yuexi and Guanhai were both strong generals. With the permission of yelaixiang, they led a group of soldiers and horses and directly entered the army of lejin and LV Qian. Although both of them led 10000 troops, they were both commanding generals. Facing the fierce attack of the two strong generals, they were in a dilemma although they barely blocked it.

XiahouDun, who was in charge of the ten thousand troops behind him, soon saw the clue, but when he was ready to support, the ten thousand troops of menggang and Zongyu, who were pressing down on both sides, immediately attacked. A school of soldiers at the level of guard and a school of high-level soldiers and horses crushed the ten thousand ordinary soldiers of XiahouDun to death.

The situation of XiahouDun's 30000 troops was soon discovered by Cao Cao. To his great surprise, Cao Cao ordered Cao Charlie's 5000 tiger guards and Cao Xiu's 10000 Qingzhou soldiers to support.

He managed to save XiahouDun's army. Cao Cao was very angry when he counted it. In less than an hour, XiahouDun's 30000 army lost nearly 10000 people, while the 20000 army on the other side lost only 10000 people.
