Chapter 995

Different from the Yuzhou army, sun CE army had different ideas. Sun CE's primary goal was to capture the whole county of Jiujiang. Although Cao Cao didn't care that sun CE army would take all the cities of Jiujiang, Cao Cao still had to use several cities of Jiujiang to slow down sun CE army's attack. At the same time, Cao Cao didn't mind giving up Jiujiang cities and then handing them over to sun CE. Anyway, since last year, Cao Cao has been transferring the personnel and materials of Jiujiang cities.

However, what surprised Huangfu Chaobo was that there was no movement on the other side of Langya night incense, but he was not worried. At present, Cao CaoJun's reaction has not been shown, and it is normal for night incense to have no movement.

Chen Liu was about 200 li away from YuanJu County in Jiyin county. After Chen Liu left, the army arrived at five li west of YuanJu county at noon on the fourth day. Huangfu Chaobo ordered the army to camp while leading several generals to observe the situation of YuanJu city.

YuanJu County, about 60 miles west of Dingtao, is the defense point of Dingtao. In other wars, YuanJu county must be the place where Cao Cao's army must guard. But this time, it's different. Cao Cao's purpose is to contain the army of all prefectures in the East, so he didn't arrange heavy troops for these cities, instead, he transferred their elite A part of the army was built up in the county.

YuanJu: there are only 3000 soldiers in the city. The city is not big, but just the size of an ordinary county. Looking at the garrison on the city wall, Huangfu Chaobo suddenly turns to Huang Wudi and says, "little butterfly, uncle wants to spend the night in the city today. Is there a problem? And no more than a thousand casualties. "

"It's an ordinary county garrisoned by three thousand soldiers. Now it's just noon, and it's still two hours before dark. Dancing butterfly will capture the city for her uncle before dark, but the army needs to be dispatched with me." The female general, who is already a woman, looks at Huangfu Chaobo with a proud face.

originally, Huangfu Chaobo was not prepared to let her lead the army this time, because she has been married to Xu Shu for several years, but she has no children all the time. Xu's mother is sensible and doesn't say much, but she sighs when chatting with MI Huan's daughter occasionally. Mi Huan also took heart, personally led fan a to treat Huang wudie and Xu Shu twice, but found no problem, so he had to give up.

Because this war was too important for the East army, and Huang Wudi's ability already belonged to the upper middle level in the East army, so Huangfu Chaobo had to let her lead the army again.

In fact, it's not only that Huang wudie has not given birth, but Huang Xu and his wife, who are far away from Youzhou, have no children, which makes Huang Zhong worried. They have asked Mi Huan several times.

Huangfu Chaobo nodded slightly, indicating that Huang wudie was ready to attack the city.

With the permission of Huangfu Chaobo, Huang Wudi didn't do anything. He ordered directly, "come on, order Yuanrong crossbow soldiers to be ready, close to a hundred steps shooting distance, and cover the city!"

"Order a thousand men to be ready to fill the siege channel of the moat!"

"The trapped camp and Tiebi camp are ready. Once the siege channel is filled, they will attack the city. After the trapped camp and Tiebi camp attack the city, they will quickly follow up and control the city."

"When the cavalry attacked the city, they surrounded all the other three cities and were not allowed to leave a Cao army."

After her series of military orders came out, Huangfu Chaobo could not help but feel dumb. Except for 1000 civilians filling the moat, all the rest of the soldiers used their own guards, and 17000 of the most elite soldiers went to attack the ordinary counties defended by 3000 ordinary soldiers. It would be strange if they could not win quickly.

As Huangfu Chaobo had expected, the gate of YuanJu county was opened in less than two hours. To be exact, it took one and a half hours. One hour in front was used to fill the moat, and the other half was used to attack the city. Less than 300 soldiers were lost, more than 200 were injured, and only more than 100 were killed.

Looking at Huang Wudi's proud smile, Huangfu Chaobo shakes his head and orders the army to rest outside the city. He leads the guards into the city to have a rest.

Two days later, at noon, Huangfu Chaobo's army arrived ten miles west of Dingtao city and ordered Huang wudie to build the camp. Huangfu Chaobo led the general and several military divisions to the west of Dingtao city under the escort of 5000 Turkistan cavalry. The party did not stop until they reached the place two miles away from the city wall, where they carefully observed the situation of Qiding pottery city.

Dingtao, located in the north of Jishui, is the seat of Jiyin county. The city is strong and tall, surrounded by a wide moat, and the river of the moat is directly connected with Jishui in the south of the city, which is a relatively large city in Yanzhou.

Dingtao, known as Taocheng in ancient times, is an ancient city with a long history. As early as the Neolithic age, human beings were fishing, hunting, farming and breeding here. Yao, Shun period for the ancient pottery. There were three he states in Xia and Shang Dynasties.

In the 12th century B.C., King Wu of Zhou granted his sixth younger brother Zhenduo the title of Cao Bo, who established the state of Cao and built Taoqiu. Shuowen: "there is Yao City in Taoqiu, where Yao lived." The site of Taoqiu ancient city is 200 meters north of feizhuang village, Maji town. In 221 BC, the first emperor of Qin set up Dingtao County.

After a long time of development, Dingtao has now become about eight Li in length and width, three Zhang in height, five Zhang in width at the bottom, and more than three Zhang in width at the top. There are turrets about five Zhang in height at the four corners of the city wall. It can be said that its scale is comparable to that of Changyi City, Yanzhou's governing center.Huangfu Chaobo looked at the scale of Shouchun city and Shouchun city which was once attacked by the eastern expeditionary army. He could not help sighing that it was the first obstacle to attack Cao Cao's forces. If he could not capture it quickly, it would be more difficult to fight in the future. Fortunately, I still have secret weapons.

After looking at the three walls of Dingtao in the west, North and East, Huangfu Chaobo said, "let's go back to camp and discuss how to attack the city."

Then, without waiting for other people's reaction, he stepped off the horse with his legs clamped, shook the reins lightly, and ran towards the camp.

A moment later, the party returned to the camp. After entering the tent, Huangfu Chaobo looked at Shi a and said, "how long will it take for Zhang Ying's army to come to Dingtao to join us?"

Shi said: "General Zhang's Army started from Lihu yesterday morning, and it is estimated that they will arrive at the north of Dingtao tomorrow morning."

"OK," Huang Fu Chao Bo nodded, turned his head and looked at Huyan. "From now on, the surveillance around Dingtao will be handed over to the Tujia soldiers, especially the situation in the direction of Changyi in the East. We must report it every other hour."

Huyan immediately came forward to receive orders.
