Chapter 749

Huang Zhongbu's Huben cavalry guards thousands of civilians. Their task is to build camps for the two armies in the north gate and the east gate. After today's attack, the two armies do not need to return to the camp to rest, but just stay outside the city.

The war of the first day passed in the process of preparing to siege the city. At the end of the day, dozens of siege channels have been filled in the moats outside the three walls.

At this time, Meng Yi from Shuanghe city also came back the news of Xuzhou: Cao Cao's army captured Tancheng, and the unprepared Xuzhou army was defeated by Cao Cao's army after only two days.

Tao Qian was also injured by liuya when he was guarding the city. Finally, under the protection of general Cao Bao and Danyang soldiers, Tao Qian and Xuzhou civil and military officials were able to escape from Tan county. Among the 50000 guards of Tancheng, there were 10000 Cao Bao soldiers and 10000 Danyang soldiers. The rest of the troops were either captured or killed. Of course, some of the soldiers fled.

The Xuzhou officials who escaped from the South Gate of Tan county, escorted by the army, retreated to xiapi state in a hurry. As soon as he entered xiapi City, Tao Qian only had time to give a few orders to strictly guard the city, and then he was unconscious.

It's true that the state can't be without a monarch for a day. But, people in Xuzhou had to support Tao Qian's eldest son, Tao, to be a temporary state shepherd. After discussing with the public, Mr. Tao ordered the soldiers of xiapi and Guangling to close the city and not go out to fight. On the other hand, he asked the surrounding princes for help again. As for Langya county and Langya state in the north, he had no time to take care of them.

At this time, yelaixiang, the Langya prefect, had already led his troops to Jiqiu County of Langya state, but he got the news that Tancheng had been lost and that the life and death of Zhou Mu was unknown.

At the suggestion of military strategist Xi Zhicai, yelaixiang's army moved into Jiqiu, and then sent Chihou to Tan county to inquire about the news. While waiting for the news from Tancheng, yelaixiang began to control Langya.

Today's Langya country is full of people's panic. Most of Xuzhou's warlike soldiers are in Tan county. Now Tan county has been captured, and the state herdsmen don't know whether they are alive or dead. If Cao Cao moves his troops northward, Langya basically has no fighting power. At this time, yelaixiang leads the army to help, which makes the whole Langya country feel at ease.

In addition, in recent years, it has won a great reputation in Xuzhou, and its army is strong. It is in this case that the process of making it control Langya is very smooth.

A day later, Chihou finally brought back the news of Tan county. Tan county had been lost. Tao Qian, the state herdsman, was seriously injured and retreated to xiapi. Langya's contact with the state herdsman's government was completely interrupted. Cao Cao's army might go north to attack Langya at any time.

Chihou's return not only brought back the news of Tao Qian, but also brought back thousands of Xuzhou rout soldiers and several officials. Among them, two were Xu Xi and Mao Hui, who were subordinates of Liu Dai, a herdsman in Yanzhou. Yelaixiang was overjoyed and immediately came forward to receive them personally, and then made a speech to solicit them.

They came to Xuzhou after Liu Dai's death. Although they worked in Tao Qian's Prefecture, they could not be reused. This time, after breaking through the encirclement, they did not go south with the army. After several difficulties, seeing that the army under the command of the incense was strong, they agreed to the invitation of the incense very soon.

At the suggestion of Xi Zhicai, yelaixiang decided to recommend Xu Xi as the Prime Minister of Langya and Mao Hui as the prefect of Langya county. In this way, the night incense finally let himself out of the heavy government affairs, concentrate on rectifying the armaments of the two counties with xizhicai and Yuexi.

What makes yelaixiang even more happy is that he found a famous general among the soldiers of Langya state. In the future, there will be a young Xu Sheng, the "tiger Minister of Jiangbiao".

With the participation of these people, the Nightingale finally has enough officials and generals to support the two counties.

Although Cao Cao was very happy to capture Tan county, he had a feeling that he had not done his best. The main reason is that although he conquered Tan county, Tao Qian successfully broke through the encirclement and retreated to xiapi under the protection of 20000 Xuzhou elite guards, and Langya state in the north of Donghai state was also well prepared by the 20000 troops of the Langya prefect yelaixiang.

In this way, although the two prefectures of Xuzhou were achieved, they failed to achieve all their goals. Tao Qian is still alive, and the rest of Xuzhou's three counties seem to have to give up for the time being. Moreover, the Sizhou army would attack Yanzhou at any time, so Cao Cao had no time to stay in Xuzhou.

On October 12, Cao Cao, a general of Fenwei in Yanzhou, appointed Cao Ren, his younger brother, as the governor of Donghai, and LV Qian as the Prime Minister of Pengcheng. Each of them led a school of elite Qingzhou soldiers to guard the two counties, while Cao Cao led the army back to Yanzhou as soon as possible to prepare for the possible attack of Sizhou army.

In fact, Cao Cao had no choice but to leave the Qingzhou army to LV Qian, because LV Qian's command of the Qingzhou army could not give full play to the maximum combat power of the Qingzhou army. However, he had only Qingzhou soldiers in Xuzhou. In order to let LV Qian control Pengcheng smoothly, he had to do so. When the time came, he would send a large army to replace Qingzhou soldiers.

What Cao Cao didn't expect was that when he was ready to lead the troops back, the Sizhou army of Huangfu Chaobo had begun to attack Puyang City.

At this time, in Puyang City, XiahouDun had only one school of elite soldiers, one school of Qingzhou soldiers and two schools of ordinary soldiers, totaling 20000 troops.

On the 14th, the fierce ant siege war finally started between the armies of Siyan and Changzhou.

In yesterday's war, the equipment of the Sizhou army attacked the Puyang City Wall continuously, causing great losses to the city wall. Fortunately, Xia Houdun responded quickly and quickly adjusted the layout of the city head, which made the loss of the garrison very small.Today is different. With the war drums and bugles of the Chinese Army attacking the city, the soldiers began to attack the city wall.

Under the command of thousands of soldiers and generals, they divided into dozens of siege teams and ran towards the city wall with attack ladders and other equipment. Behind them, the siege equipment of Sizhou army attacked the city once again.

As a result, Puyang City once again shrouded in the flames of war. Arrows and catapults fly in the air, and then pounce on their respective enemies. From time to time, there are spatters of blood and mist, as well as the screams and shouts of soldiers.

Standing on the top of the city, XiahouDun looked coldly at the sergeant soldiers who were shouting to attack under the city. Beside him, all the other generals in Puyang City, except the other three generals, stood beside him.

Cao Charlie said: "general Xiahou, have you heard from the main army?"

Instead of following Cao Cao's army to Xuzhou, Cao Charlie's tiger guards were arranged under Xia Houdun to attack Chen Liu and defend against the attack of Sizhou's army.

After returning to Puyang, the tiger guards were arranged to the east wall. Xu Chu and Xu Ding were responsible for the defense of the east wall. The north wall was handed over to Puyang deputy, while Xia Houdun was personally responsible for the west wall.
