Chapter 775

Soon, the captain of Nanmen sent for Zhao Yun's instructions.

At this time, although Zhao Yun was angry and Weizi surrendered to the enemy, his heart was not flustered. Between lightning and flint, he made up his mind that since the city could not be preserved, he had to save as many troops as possible for Huangfu Chaobo.

"Come on, send orders to the generals of all the sects. Some soldiers are left to stop Cao's army. Other departments retreat to Ximen. All the wounded soldiers who can retreat by themselves retreat to Ximen. We retreat to Baima city. Other people with mobility difficulties hide themselves in the city, waiting for the army to fight back. "

With Zhao Yun's order, all departments of Sizhou army began to withdraw to Ximen in an orderly manner, while Zhao Yun led thousands of white horse soldiers from Helong Xiangying to block Cao's army.

With the withdrawal of most of Zhao Yun's troops, Cao Cao's army soon controlled the two gates of Northeast China. However, the vanguard of Cao Cao's army who entered the city was soon ambushed by Zhao Yun, and less than 100 of the 2000 troops escaped. After getting the news, Cao's troops slowed down their attack and gradually controlled all parts of the city.

Zhao Yun, on the other hand, took advantage of this time to gather the troops who had retreated to the west gate, then opened the west gate and took advantage of the cover of night to withdraw to Baima City, which was ten miles away.

Cao ang and Cao Anmin were very excited when they entered the city. After meeting with Cao Cao, they heard that Zhao Yun had led the disabled soldiers to evacuate from Ximen. They asked Cao Cao for orders and wanted to lead the soldiers to pursue them, but Cao Cao refused.

Zhao Yun is a former general under Huangfu Chaobo. His status is only under Huang Zhong, and he is not prepared for the opening ceremony. If two people chase rashly, they may fall into his ambush.

You know, when he entered the city, 2000 soldiers and horses were almost destroyed by him in the first World War. How could Cao Cao make such a mistake. This time, if it wasn't for Weizi, it would be so easy for Puyang Chengqi to attack.

When the sky is dim, Zhao Yun has led the army back to Baima city.

On the 15th, Wei Zikai, Puyang County Magistrate, turned to Cao. The Puyang City captured by the Sizhou army at the cost of more than 20000 dead and wounded, changed its ownership again. In desperation, Zhao Yun led Baima Yi to retreat to Baima city with 6000 Garrison and 10000 guards.

Of the 35000 troops in Puyang City, only more than 20000 safely withdrew from Baima.

After leaving the soldiers in the city, Zhao Yun arranges the left school to reinforce the city defense and reorganize the troops, while sending someone to report the detailed battle situation of Puyang to Huangfu Chaobo in Chenliu.

Huangfu Chaobo, who stayed behind Chen Liu, got the news that Weizi opened the gate of the city and surrendered to Cao Cao. Regardless of the opposition of Chen Liu's Taishou Dong Zhao, he took all of Chen Liu's relatives in custody.

After learning the details, Huangfu Chaobo ordered more than 40 of Weizi's immediate family members to be beheaded and displayed to the public. At the same time, he ordered the governor of Hedong to detain all the more than 400 members of Hedong's family. Huangfu Chaobo was going to escort them to Hedong Salt Pond to bask in salt. By this means, Chen Liu's officers and soldiers were awe inspiring.

At the same time, Huangfu Chaobo left Yuanrong crossbow soldiers in Chenliu to assist Zaozhi people to guard the city. He personally led other pro guard battalion troops to Baima and helped Zhao Yun defend Baima city and Baima port.

On the day Cao Cao captured Puyang City, Yuan Shao's army arrived at Ganling city. At this time, Ganling city was defended by Min Chun with 20000 troops, and the war in Jizhou was finally ignited.

Min Chun's 20000 troops were attacked by Yuan Shao's 50000 troops, and they only lasted two days. Min Chun led 10000 rout troops to escape from Ganling City, and then they were pursued by Yuan Shao's cavalry. Fortunately, Huang Zhong led Huben cavalry to meet him quickly. In the end, only more than 6000 of the 20000 troops retreated into Qingyuan City.

Almost at the same time, Zhao Guoxiang County, Ren county of Julu and Guangzong were also attacked by Yuan Shaojun. The three cities all lasted for a few days and were successively captured by Yuan Shaojun.

Huang Zhong, Hua Xiong and Zhang Ying, each with 10000 cavalry, ran between the cities like a fire brigade to meet the rout. In only ten days, Jizhou army retreated to Handan and Chiqiu.

The two cities of Qingyuan and Taoguan on the south line are even more on the lookout. After withdrawing from the Taoguan, Huang Zhong's cavalry still has 8000 soldiers, but min Chun's soldiers have already reached 15000.

After the two leaders retreated to Wei County, Huang Zhong negotiated with min chun to reorganize the 10000 garrison of Wei county and the 15000 troops min Chun brought back.

Because of Huang Zhong's 5000 Huben cavalry's shock and awe, there was not much change even though they were reorganized. Two days later, Yuan Shao's 60000 troops appeared in front of the crowd again.

After conquering several cities of Ganling Pottery Museum, Yuan Shao reorganized the soldiers who surrendered and captured, and then marched with the army to drive Han Fu's army out of Jizhou.

It was because of the reorganization of these troops, together with Li Li and other local families of Taoguan that Yuan Shao slowed down the pace of attack. What he didn't expect was that he just gave Huang Zhong and min Chun time to reorganize the army of Wei county.

A few days later, Zhang Ying led the troops into Handan, and Huaxiong and Zhao Fu led the troops into Chiqiu county. By this time, the war in Jizhou finally entered the area of full defense that Huangfu Chaobo discussed with all the counsellors.

According to what Huangfu Chaobo had discussed with Pang Tong, Tian Feng and Ju Shu in advance, nearly 20 cities in the periphery could not be defended under the full attack of Yuan Shaojun. Therefore, everyone agreed to trade space for time and use the 20 cities for time. In the three cities of Handan, Chiqiu and Weixian, we stepped up preparations for the war, but no one expected that Li Li would suddenly unite with his family to surrender.Fortunately, Yuan Shao was very successful. When he saw the decline of Jizhou aristocratic family, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Despite the opposition, he stopped attacking to appease the aristocratic family, which gave Huang Zhong and min Chun time.

If these three cities can't defend, Huangfu Chaobo may consider giving up Jizhou and returning to Hanoi.

Facing the fierce attack of Yuan Shaojun, Huangfu Chaobo found that he underestimated yuan Shaojun's fighting power. Fortunately, Pang Tong suggested that Huang Xu lead the cavalry of the control crane camp in Longhua to Jixian, and asked Gongsun Zan to send troops to support him. Of course, he didn't expect Gongsun Zan to send troops to attack Jizhou directly. He just wanted to ask him to send cavalry from one or two schools to enter the hinterland of Jizhou with Huang Xu to harass Jizhou army, which could also hold some Yuan Shao's attention.

Now more than ten days have passed, Huangfu Chaobo estimates that Huang Xu has entered the hinterland of Jizhou. According to the news from the shadow, Gongsun Zan is still loyal enough. After meeting Huang Xu, he immediately agrees to his request and sends his younger brother Gongsun Yue to lead 5000 white horses to fight with Huang Xu.

Ten thousand cavalry and twenty thousand horses are nothing if they are involved in the war on both sides of the Yellow River, but if they are in the hinterland of Jizhou, they can do a lot of things.
