Chapter 1199

Time in the past day by day, all the preparations are in an orderly manner.

On August 24, Lv Bu, the king of Zhao, issued a royal decree, saying that Zhao Zilong, the governor of Wuyuan County, and the Xiake, the governor of Shuofang County, did not respect the king's decree, and acted in defiance of the king's decree. As a result, the Xianbei army invaded Bingzhou, causing heavy losses to Daijun and Yanmen. The king of Zhao declared the two prefectures to be Taishou and rebellious, and ordered Zhang Liao, the general of the north, to lead the army to levy.

On the second day, Zhang Liao's 50000 troops appeared in the east of Fuyang City, the easternmost part of Wuyuan County. Later, 50000 Zhao envoys launched a fierce attack on Fuyang City.

Outside the city of Fuyang, Zhang Liao looked at several general flags rising at the head of the city with a gloomy face. In addition to the two big flags with the characters of "Xia" and "Zhao", there were also two general flags with the characters of "Gao" and "sun". At this time, Zhang Liao did not know where the opposite side had already been on guard. Gao Zi's flag was Gao Lan, the number one general of Shuofang's Xiake, and Sun Zi's flag was Sun Jin, the general of Zhao Zilong. Both of them were infantry generals, and the two good cavalry generals, qubei and Zhaozhao, disappeared. They must have led the cavalry to peep on the side.

But now that the arrow was on the way, Zhang Liao had to order the army to attack Fuyang. Almost at the same time, there were 20000 Zhao cavalry soldiers on the Wuliangsu beach to the north of Wujia river city. Twenty thousand cavalry are the twenty thousand ordinary cavalry of Zhao state led by general Cao Xing of Zhao state. Their task is to attack the two counties from the grassland in the north of Yinshan Mountain.

After arriving at xijiahe City, Cao Xing arranged 10000 cavalry troops to dismount and take part in the battle, trying to find out the defense situation of Wujiahe city. In his opinion, the defense here should be average. Because Xianbei army was not good at attacking the city, it did not attack the hinterland of the two counties quickly. Although the 20000 troops he led were cavalry, their ability to attack the city was better than that of Xianbei people For example, I don't know how many times stronger.

However, Cao Xing soon found that he was wrong. The first round of attack cost nearly half of the 2000 cavalry. The city guards not only had tight defense, but also had a large number of crossbows in the city, at least more than 1000. Seeing that the soldiers lost so much, Cao Xing had to stop attacking. Now he can only wait for the battle in Fuyang.

It's a pity that Cao Xing is doomed to be disappointed. There are about 20000 troops in two counties in Fuyang City, almost all of them soldiers. In the face of the crazy attack of Zhang Liao army, Gao Lan easily repels them every time. Think about it. Since Zhao Zilong took over Fuyang Town, he has been constantly strengthening the defense of the town, and has never stopped. Especially after he upgraded to a city, he spared no effort to strengthen the defense. In addition, there are nearly 5000 crossbow soldiers in it, and Gaolan is also one of the five excellent generals of Cao Wei in history. Compared with Zhang Liao, the difference is not too big, so the defense is very important It's not hard at all.

Ten days later, Zhang Liao had already lost more than 5000 people. As a last resort, Zhang Liao had to order the army to retreat ten li and set up camp, waiting for further orders from Lv Bu, king of Zhao. If Zhang Liao's idea was followed, there would be no need for the war to continue. But Lu Bu is absolutely not allowed to retreat. In that case, it means that he has failed twice in this city. How can he swallow this tone with his character.

Sure enough, a few days later, Lv Bu personally led 30000 Bingzhou wolf riders to Zhang Liao's camp. With him came 20000 soldiers gathered by Zhao state in Yunzhong county. After arriving at the camp, Lv Bu immediately led the army to attack Fuyang city again.

With the addition of Lu Bu, the pressure on the city of Fuyang was almost doubled. However, this was expected by Zhao Zilong. In order to deal with the attack that Lu Bu may appear, no, Lu Bu is bound to appear, several families have deployed the most elite soldiers, equipped them with the best armour and weapons, and armed them all to deal with Lu Bu. Every time Lu Bu attacks the city, there will be a number of elite soldiers in the city In front of Lu Bu, they were all dressed in heavy armour and formed a tight formation to deal with Lu Bu alone. At the same time, there was a more than one elite crossbow soldier to provide support for them.

So every time Lu Bu was able to attack the city wall smoothly, but in the face of the siege of hundreds of elite soldiers with heavy armour, he could not sustain for half an hour, so he had to return to the army under the city. There's no way. Although Lv Bu is called the God of war, he is not the God of war riding on the red rabbit horse. In the crowded city, it's amazing that he can exert 70% or 80% of his strength. After all, he is not a real God.

The battle in Fuyang was like a huge magnet, which attracted hundreds of thousands of elite troops of Zhao state. It also attracted all the eyes of Zhao Junchen. No, not all of them. At least two of Zhao Junchen occasionally looked at the Tang army in the south, that is, Chen Gong, the prime minister of Zhao state, and Zhang Liao, the general of the northern expedition They feel a little relieved that there is still no movement in the Tang Kingdom, and the news from the wolves has not found any changes in the Tang kingdom.

……

In Luoyang City, the battle of Fuyang is constantly transmitted back from the city by the shadow guards every day. As time goes on, the pressure of the garrison in the city is increasing, so Gaolan has to transfer more and more troops to the city to deal with the more and more fierce attack of the Zhao army.

On the main hall, Huangfu Chaobo is gathering all the ministers for discussion. Today is the last meeting. After today's discussion, he will lead the last two thousand guards in Luoyang City to Hanoi. Tomorrow, Tian Yu, who is already ready, will break through the last 20 miles of Baixing and go directly to Gaoping pass. By this time, the 25000 Tang army led by Tian Yu had reached the high mountains more than 20 miles west of Gaoping pass.Just as Huangfu Chaobo is about to end the court discussion, Huang Wudi, who is on duty outside the main hall, suddenly asks for a meeting and says that the shadow guard has 100000 fire fighting intelligence to report.

All the people in the hall were worried, and Huangfu Chaobo was in a frenzy. It seemed that something was going to happen. Hearing Huang Wudi's request, Huangfu Chaobo winked at the servant around him. The servant immediately said, "the king has an order, pass it on!"

A moment later, a captain in charge of shadow guard in the palace rushed in with a tube of red pigeon letter in his hand. The carrier had been opened, and the pigeon letter in it was already in the captain's hand. He should have been running all the way. Now he was in some rags, but he didn't notice at all. After running to the palace, he went straight to the jade steps and rushed all the way He stopped in front of the attendant on duty.

While kneeling on the ground, the captain handed the pigeon letter to the direction of the duty officer, and reported aloud: "king, you Zhou has 100000 urgent intelligence. Ten days ago, sun Zan, the king of Yan, had led 30000 cavalry and 50000 soldiers, totaling 80000 troops to Hebei to attack the state of Wei!"
