Chapter 748

Now that someone has escaped, Puyang will be ready. According to the information from the shadow, Puyang is the residence of Xia Houdun, the governor of the East County. Generally, there are about 20000 troops stationed in Puyang.

This time, he has led the army, but there should be at least ten thousand soldiers left behind, and his army is only forty thousand now. Therefore, it is too risky to attack the city with ten thousand soldiers. Instead of doing so, it is better to transfer the army to make plans.

After discussing with Pang Tong and Huang Zhong, they decided to take a two-day rest in Baima and attack Puyang after Chen Liu's reinforcements arrived.

According to the arrangement of Huangfu Chaobo, after the departure of the army, there will be another 20000 follow-up soldiers and horses to join. At the same time, Chen Liu's Taishou Zhang Miao will also send a team of soldiers and horses to join him. Probably the troops should also be 20000. By this time, the army should have almost reached Pingqiu.

After arranging for the troops to enter the city, Huangfu Chaobo began to arrange. The Sizhou army in the first World War of Baima city had almost no war damage, but it increased nearly 2000 prisoners for the army. With the first 3000 prisoners, now the number of prisoners of Sizhou army has reached 5000, which must be used well.

Two thousand of them will be transferred back to Baima port to strengthen the defense of the port, and the remaining three thousand will be used to dredge the moat of Baima city and strengthen the city. Now that they have occupied the port and the county, Huangfu Chaobo is not ready to let them out. The Sizhou army is fully capable of guarding the port city near the river.

Five thousand cavalry of huyandu were sent out to be used as marquis. The area around Baima, from Puyang in the East, Yan County in the west, and Changyuan in the south, was within his exploration scope. Huang Zhong's Huben cavalry was sent back to meet the 40000 troops.

As early as yesterday morning, he had received the news that Huang Zhong's army had left Pingqiu. Soon afterwards, news came from Yan county that tens of thousands of cavalry had passed through Yan County and headed east.

XiahouDun immediately realized that Huangfu Chaobo was going to attack Baima, so he immediately ordered the army to withdraw to Changyuan. Sure enough, in the evening of that day, Chihou came back with news that there had been no news from Baima for a day.

XiahouDun, who had been in war for a long time, knew that the white horse had been captured by Sizhou army nine times out of ten. Even if it had not been captured, it was estimated that it would not last long. What he worried about was Puyang, the county city. Now there are only 10000 soldiers in Puyang, and other elite soldiers have been brought to attack Chen Liu.

In consideration of this, Xia Houdun immediately summoned the generals to discuss the matter. After discussion, Xia Houdun decided to lead the troops back to defend Puyang, leaving ten thousand soldiers to lejin to guard Changyuan and contain Chen Liujun. Xia Houdun led 5000 Qingzhou soldiers and Cao Charlie's 5000 tiger guards back to Puyang as soon as possible.

As Xia Houdun had expected, when he arrived at Lihu with ten thousand troops, he received an urgent report from Puyang. Baima city had been lost. Puyang garrison general asked him to rush back to take charge of military affairs as soon as possible.

War is on the verge of breaking out. For this war, many people are waiting to see, not only all the princes, almost all the players are watching, the first player's strength has reached what degree, and the first collision with Cao Cao, the first overlord of the Three Kingdoms, although it is still in the growth period.

As for the previous Luoyang defense battles, everyone knows that defending the city is much easier than attacking the city, and the two times of sending troops to Hedong, who is Jiang Pei? Few players have heard of it, so no one cares.

Three days later, that is, on October 13, 80000 troops under Puyang were ready, while on the city wall, XiahouDun's troops were all ready.

"General, it has been confirmed that Xia Houdun had led 10000 troops back to Puyang last night. That is to say, there are 20000 Cao Cao troops in Puyang today." Shi a goes forward to Huangfu Chaobo;

at this time, Huangfu Chaobo is leading the generals to inspect the situation of the city one mile away from the city. Puyang is the governor of Dongjun County, and Yanzhou has several big cities. Puyang, as the name suggests, is located in the city of pushui. Puyang City is about four feet high. Fortunately, Huangfu Chaobo used a lot of siege equipment brought by the water army from Luoyang, and during the rest of the army, he arranged a number of craftsmen to make them.

Today, under Puyang City, Huangfu Chaobo has gathered 80000 troops, including 10000 of his own guards, 150000 of Huang Zhong's Huben camp, 30000 of Henan Prefecture guards, 20000 of Zhang Miao's soldiers, and about 10000 of captured folk craftsmen.

As for Baima harbor and Baima City, they were all defended by Zhou Tai's navy.

After careful observation in Puyang City, Huangfu Chaobo handed over the command of the army to Huang Zhong.

After some discussion, Huang Zhong divided the army into three groups, with 10000 garrison soldiers staying in the camp. Huang Zhong led 10000 HUBEN Battalion soldiers and 15000 garrison soldiers to attack the west gate of Puyang City, and 20000 Chenliu troops to attack the north gate of Puyang City. The leader was Dong Xiang, Dong Zhao's younger brother. Wang Ran, deputy general of Huben battalion, led 5000 HUBEN Battalion soldiers and 15000 garrison soldiers to attack from the east gate of Puyang City.

As for the South Gate of Puyang, because the south gate is less than two miles away from pushui, it is impossible to send a large army to attack the city, so it is simply reserved for the Puyang army as a way out. You know, Huang Zhong has 5000 Huben cavalry and 5000 Tui cavalry.

With the order of the Chinese army, the three armies set out to attack the city.Of course, before the siege, the first thing was to fill the river. Huang Zhong divided the five thousand prisoners into three groups, two thousand in the west gate, one thousand in the east gate and one thousand five hundred in the north gate.

Huangfu Chaobo had already explained to them that as long as they performed well in the Puyang war, Huangfu Chaobo would cancel their captivity status and promise to include them in the Sizhou army. Of course, there must be no good end for those who cheat and cheat.

At the beginning of the operation was Huang Zhongbu outside the west gate. Under the cover of nearly a hundred Jinglan cars and catapults, thousands of shield soldiers escorted the prisoners, carrying bags that had already been loaded with earth, and came towards the moat.

Puyang City is close to pushui, so in addition to using pushui directly as the moat in the south, the other three sides are excavated, and then directly introduce live water from pushui. Therefore, the flow of the moat is much faster than that of Baima City, and the difficulty of river reclamation is much greater.

However, Huangfu Chaobo invested more troops and other siege equipment than when he attacked Baima city.

When Huang Zhongbu began to fill the river, the two divisions of the north gate and the east gate were also rapidly moving towards their goals. At this time, the pro guard camp of Huangfu Chaobo and the cavalry of huyandu had spread to more than ten miles around Puyang City, providing a guard for the army to attack the city.
