Chapter 1025

In addition to the tight defense facilities, there are 40000 Chinese soldiers of Cao Cao's army and 40000 soldiers of prefectures in Changyi.

It can be said that without the 50000 troops of the Li Department of Huangfu, there was no need for Huangfu Chaobo to send troops to Changyi. Of course, with these troops alone, Huangfu Chaobo was not sure that he could capture Changyi, because in fact, there were only 80000 soldiers and 20000 guards in these troops, followed by 15000 civilians and 15000 Cao Cao Army prisoners.

In fact, there was no advantage in attacking the city with such forces. However, Huangfu Chaobo once again dispatched 40000 garrison troops from Chenliu and the three counties of Yuzhou to support. With these garrison troops, Huangfu Chaobo's forces were barely twice that of the garrison in Changyi City, which was basically certain.

According to Huangfu Chaobo's idea, after a period of time, as soon as the flood season is over, 50000 to 80000 troops will be transferred from Hebei, and then it will be no problem to capture Changyi city.

In the Chinese Army's tent in the west of Changyi City, Huangfu Chaobo sat on the throne and looked at the following people: "the army has already set up a camp. Is there any news from general Huangfu Li's headquarters?"

Guo Jia said: "there was a kuaimai newspaper early this morning. The army has begun to attack Fangdong county. It is estimated that it will take two or three days."

"Is there any news from Hebei? How is the army getting ready? "

"General Zhao Yun's Flying Pigeon rumor says that the 50000 troops collected by Hebei Province have begun to gather in Liyang. Once the flood season of the river is over, they can arrange to cross the river, go ashore from Baima port, and then come all the way south to join the army in Changyi."

Huangfu Chaobo nodded and fell into meditation. It's not impossible for Hebei's reinforcements to rush to Qingzhou for rescue. It's just that the number of 50000 troops is too small. But if these 50000 troops are put into Yanzhou battlefield, the chance of victory will be much better. So after repeated discussions, several people decided to abandon the two counties of Qingzhou for the time being and try their best to capture the counties of Yanzhou If it's duizi, then add more.

According to the original document, he led the troops under the Changyi city to contain the main force of Cao Cao's army. The Li troops of Huangfu first attacked Fangdong and Dongluo, in order to cut off the reinforcements from the southeast of Changyi City, and then joined the forces to attack the city. Of course, Huangfu's Chaobo army was not idle when it arrived at the foot of Changyi city. More than 10000 civilians and more than 10000 prisoners could do a lot of preparatory work in the early stage of the war.

For example, the burying of moats, the preparation of siege equipment, and the excavation of tunnels can be carried out first. After the arrival of the Li troops of Huangfu, the siege will begin. At that time, the 50000 troops of Hebei should be arriving soon. After the arrival of the 50000 troops, the siege will be launched on a large scale.

Of course, if Cao Cao suddenly went out of the city to fight during this period of time, Huangfu Chaobo would be more than happy. You know, there are 60000 soldiers around him, not to mention 17000 special arms which are more elite than ordinary soldiers. Although he has the strength to attack the city, he is not afraid of anyone in the field.

However, we all believe that Cao Cao would not do such a mindless thing, but the relevant preparations still need to be done. After the camp was set up, 15000 cavalry went back and forth for 20 miles around Changyi, staring at the movement of Changyi city. The Golden Eagle also went out to the sky every other hour. Once a large number of troops approached, it would not take a moment Zhong Huangfu will get the news.

"From tomorrow, we should be ready for the attack. Dugu Ba and Dugu Tian will start to look for a place suitable for digging tunnels tomorrow. This time, we don't have to be in such a hurry. We will have more time. Moreover, Cao Cao Jun in the city will certainly be ready, so we can dig more tunnels, even if it doesn't work in the end."

"Another thing is that from tomorrow, we will arrange the craftsmen to start making a large number of siege equipment, so that the prisoners can use it, and the siege channel for burying the moat should also start. All these things must be done well before the army of Li Department of Huangfu arrives."

When they heard this, they all agreed.

Dozens of miles to the south of Changyi, Fangdong county is the southernmost County of Shanyang County, less than 20 miles away from Danfu County of Jiyin county. Although the city is not big, it is the only way to the north of Changyi. If we don't attack this city, the army of huangfuli can only make a detour to the north, so all the way to the north, huangfuli must attack this city first.

At this time, the 50, 000 troops of the Li Department of Huangfu had already arrived at the Fangdong city. In the Fangdong City, Cao Cao had originally arranged 5000 prefectures and soldiers. However, after Lou's transfer, there were only two thousand old soldiers left. During this period of time, with the arrival of the two generals' recruitment orders, two thousand new soldiers were recruited, but the longest one was less than one Within a month, the highest level was about level 25, which was more than ten levels lower than the elite soldiers of Li Department of Huangfu. Of course, this kind of taxi guard can barely be used.

After arriving in Fangdong, huangfuli didn't stop there much. He ordered to attack the city directly. After a day's fighting, he captured the city. Then, the army had a rest in Fangdong for a night, leaving 1000 people to defend the county. After all the wounded soldiers were handed over to the soldiers guarding the city, they were escorted by 2000 prisoners, and the army continued to move toward Dongluo County in the northeast.

Dongluo county is located more than 30 Li to the east of Changyi city. If it controls Dongluo, it will cut off the way for Cao Cao's army to help Dongluo. If Cao Cao's army wants to send troops to help Dongluo, unless it conquers Dongluo, it will have to help the north. In this way, the reinforcements will be more painful.Two days later, Dongluo county was also captured by Huangfu Li's troops. This time, Huangfu Li left a total of 5000 soldiers to defend the city, 2000 soldiers and 3000 guards. Even in the face of tens of thousands of Cao Cao's attacks, it could last at least three to five days. Once Cao Cao's reinforcements were dragged under the city, without the protection of the city, tens of thousands of East conscription army barracks would be destroyed in a flash, and even completely annihilated under the city.

After arranging the defense of Dongluo, Huangfu Li led the army to the foot of Changyi city and joined with Huangfu Chaobo.

At the head of Changyi City, Cao Cao is leading the people to watch the situation of the East army outside the city. An hour ago, the general on duty at the head of the city sent someone to report that the East army was coming to the south. Cao Cao, who got the report, immediately led the people to the city and looked at the tens of thousands of troops slowly approaching in the south. The two main general flags were "general Huangfu of the right army of the Zhengdong army" and "General Wang Jianwei of the Zhengdong army". Next to them was a slightly smaller deputy general flag, "general Guan of the right area of the Zhengdong army". Next to them were the general flags of more than ten generals at all levels.
