Chapter 772

Yuan Shao also wanted to send cavalry to destroy Wei county when the troops were mobilized and reorganized. However, after Huaxiong's Xiliang cavalry arrived in Wei County, Han Fu's original cavalry was selected by Zhang Ying, but there were more than 15000.

Huang Zhong's and Huaxiong's cavalry, plus these cavalry, add up to 25000 cavalry. Yuan Shao's 20000 cavalry can't take advantage of them at all, especially there are 5000 Xiliang iron cavalry and Huaxiong's cavalry generals.

On the Hebei Plain, you come and you go, killing each other, but in the cavalry war, Yuan Shaojun still won less and lost more.

Time soon to September, the dark clouds of War slowly shrouded in the division of state over.

On the 6th of September, Cao Cao, general mufenwei of Yanzhou, issued an address, saying that general Anton's Department, Huangfu of zhoumu, had wronged the court decree and had placed Hanfu and zhangmiao, the prefect of Chenliu, under house arrest. Cao Cao called on the world's heroes to fight against the enemy, to obey heaven's order and to settle down the common people.

After that, Qingzhou Mu Xia Hou yuan, Jizhou Mu Che general Qi Xiang Hou Yuan Shao, Yangzhou Mu Zuo general Yuan Shu, Bingzhou Mu Wen Hou Lu Bu, Zhendong general Nanyang Taishou Zhang Ji successively launched troops to express their response.

On the 8th of September, Cao Cao launched an army of 80000, known as 150000, to attack Huangfu Chaobo in two ways.

One of them was Cao Hong, the prefect of Qiaojun County, who led 30000 troops to attack chenliuxiang from the state of Liang. On the other hand, Cao Cao personally led the way, and Xia Houdun, the governor of the East County, was the vanguard, leading 50000 troops, known as 90000 troops, to attack Puyang.

Two days later, Yuan Shao, a general of motorcycles, set up an army of 100000, known as 200000, to attack Wei County in three ways.

On the same day, Lv Bu, marquis Wen, set up 50000 troops, known as 80000 troops, and sent troops from Taiyuan to Hedong.

After general Yuan Shu sent 30000 troops, known as 80000 troops, from Shouchun to Runan.

Zhang Ji, a Zhendong general in Nanyang, set up an army of 30000, known as 50000, to block the city.

For a time, there was a dense cloud of war around Sizhou, and the war was imminent.

On the contrary, Guo and Li of Yongzhou had not moved for a few days after the troops in Guandong, as if they had forgotten their agreement with Cao Cao.

On the day of Cao Cao's address, Huangfu Chaobo led his 10000 guards to Chenliu to help longxiangying and Chenliu's garrison defend Chenliu.

On September 12, Cao Cao's army arrived at the foot of Puyang City and encamped at Wuli in the east of the city. Cao Cao's army has a total of 50000 troops, including 10000 tiger and leopard riders, 10000 Qingzhou soldiers, 5000 heavy infantry, and the rest 25000 ordinary soldiers. Of course, there are more than 20000 people in the 50000 army, auxiliary soldiers, civilian men and craftsmen.

After arriving at Puyang City and setting up camp, Cao Cao did not arrange for the army to attack the city immediately. Instead, he ordered the army to rest and prepare for tomorrow's attack, while he gathered people in the tent for discussion.

After making arrangements for the siege tomorrow, Cao Cao dismissed the generals, but he left XiahouDun.

"Yuan rang, how are things going?" Cao Cao asked;

Xia Houdun arched his hand and replied: "the other party has promised that it will open the gate for us at the right time, but Zhao Yun is a great general valued by Huangfu Chaobo. He is cautious and is expected to wait patiently."

Cao Cao nodded, he also knew that such things can not be urgent, Puyang such a big city, not three or five days time to attack down.

The next day, just after dawn, Cao's camp outside Puyang City began to be lively. The army began to eat, and then prepared to attack the city.

For this city, it can be said that it was a thorn in the heart of XiahouDun. Twenty thousand troops defended such an important town, but they were captured by the State Army. So this time, for him, it was a must.

With the roar of war drums, Cao Cao's army began to attack Puyang City. This time, Cao Cao's army only attacked the eastern and Northern walls.

Because in the west of Puyang was Baima city and Baima port controlled by Sizhou army, and in the South was pushui, Cao Cao simply let go of the two walls and set his attack on the East and North walls.

It was Xia Houdun who was in charge of the attack on the north wall, while on the east side were Cao Cao's two other generals, Cao ang, Cao Cao's eldest son, and Cao Anmin, Cao Cao's nephew.

They are very satisfied with Cao Cao, Cao Ren brothers and Xiahou brothers. They are the best of their generation in terms of combat power and military command ability. In time, when they grow up, it will be a great help to Cao Cao's power, especially Cao ang, Cao Cao's eldest son.

Xu was Cao Cao. In order to bring other forces into the war as soon as possible, the war was extremely fierce at the beginning. Because he was holding his breath, XiahouDun attacked fiercely. A group of soldiers were driven to the city wall and attacked the successors at the head of the city.

On Cao Cao's side, because he had the idea of training two young generals, Cao Cao did not intervene in their use of troops. They led the soldiers to attack the city.

In this way, the two armies fought to death in Puyang City for two days, and each army had its own casualties. Two thousand people died in Cao Cao's army, and hundreds died in Sizhou.

On the 14th, with the sound of Cao Cao's army outside the city, the day's war ended again. After arranging for the replacement of a taxi at the head of the city, Zhao Yun returned to the city building for dinner. After dinner, he had to lead his soldiers to inspect the defense above the city wall before he could go back to the tower to rest.In two days, Cao Cao Jun's desperate attack exhausted Zhao Yun. However, the cautious nature of him has been staying in the tower, has not left the city wall for two days.

After inspecting the city wall, Zhao Yun was ready to rest in the tower. Just then, outside the tower came the voice of Pro guard: "general, the magistrate of Wei county is coming."

As soon as Zhao Yun was inspired, he thought why the magistrate came to the city wall so late. Although he was puzzled, he was not slow. After quickly equipping himself with weapons, he walked to the city tower and happened to see Puyang County Magistrate Weizi leading dozens of Pro guards to the city tower.

"What's the matter with magistrate Wei going to the city building late at night?"

"General Zhao, I have nothing else to do with you," weiz said with a salute. "I just saw that Cao thief's army attacked the city for two days, but the general didn't go down the city wall all the time. So I went up to the city to see what I can do on the city wall."

"Lord Wei has a heart. Everything is good in the city, but the people in the city still need to be appeased by him. There are 25000 people in our army, and only 50000 or 60000 people in Cao's army. It's not so easy to invade the city. But Zhao Yun suddenly said;

"but how?"

"The army of Cao bandits is out of the ordinary. They attack the city with all their strength as soon as the war starts. Some people suspect that there must be a reason for this. Please be careful of the changes in the city. "
