Chapter 240: The Speedy General's first appearance

Cao Cao personally persuaded Qiao Rui to surrender, but in the end he failed.

In the next two days, there was a lot of war around Tuoxian.

There were already piles of corpses on the city and under the city, with blood mottled colors.

Under the setting sun, the blood stained with red on the top of the city became more dazzling and dazzling.

But the tragic offensive and defensive battle is still not over yet.

Cao Cao ordered Yu Jin to command the attack on the city, and he himself supervised the battle to boost the morale of the entire army.

Between the chaos.

Ladders of clouds are tightly hooked with the city wall.

The Cao army soldiers climbed up with their weapons.

In the front, teams of swords and shield soldiers were protecting the rain of arrows and covering siege vehicles heading straight towards the city gate.

The arrows and rains of arrows and rains on both sides intertwined.

It seemed like a net of arrows was formed.

At this moment, the strong combat power of the Cao army soldiers was fully reflected.

Even under the strong attack of thousands of arrows, it is a battle forward with high spirits and no fear.

But even so.

With Qiao Rui personally taking charge, Tuo County has long been reinforced. Moreover, since this city is the junction of the Central Plains counties, it has always been an important town in the Central Plains.

City defense should not be underestimated!

Under the continuous attacks, Tuoxian still stood firm.

This made Cao Cao feel shaken his determination to break through the city with a strong force.

He then launched his plan to continue to attack Tuoxian on the surface to confuse Yuan's army so as to prevent the enemy general Qiao Rui from seeing the clues.

But in the secret, Xiahou Yuan was suddenly sent as the general and Le Jin was the deputy. Three thousand infantry and cavalry led straight into the flank, and the troops were aimed directly at Wuping and Laixiang.

Cao Cao had already heard the news in detail.

Since the main force of the Yuan army is still gathering, Qiao Rui's troops, currently located in Chen State, are facing their own attacks and are still slightly short of troops.

Therefore, except for the stable defense line of the important town Tuo County that Qiao Rui personally defended, defense lines such as Wuping and Laixiang are all weak links of Yuan's army's garrison, and the troops left by Yuan's army were not too strong.

Cao Cao believed that as long as Xiahou Yuan could take advantage of Qiao Rui's reaction, the two cities would definitely be able to be put down every day!

The situation on our side will be extremely favorable.

Lai Township and Wuping are located behind Tuo County. Once they are lost, the connection between Naqiao Rui's troops and Chen County in the county will be cut off and the grain channels will be controlled.

By then, facing the pressure of attack on both sides and the overturn of the grain channel, even though the defense line in Tuoxian was strong, Qiao Rui had no choice but to give up.

Cao Cao naturally did not have to spend a lot of force to invade this portal that marched into Chen State.

The strategy has been formulated, and it will be up to you to see whether Xiahou Yuan can implement it perfectly.

only.

Just as Xiahou Yuan and his people left less than a day, the scouts who were scattered outside were responsible for spying on the news quickly sent the army back to the city.

When Qiao Rui learned about the division of Cao's troops, he showed a look of gratitude on his face and said angrily: "It's okay, I discovered the conspiracy of Cao's army in time."

"If Cao Cao's plan to divide his troops is not discovered, the consequences may be unimaginable!"

After a while, the words were finished.

Immediately, Qiao Rui immediately sent someone to Wuping and Laixiang to order Liang Gang and Leju to take timely precautions to prevent them from being attacked by Cao's army, and they were about to collapse due to panic.

From Qiao Rui's perspective, he is still confident at the moment.

Even though Cao's army had already divided its troops, it would take about one day to take a detour if it could not reach the city and rush to attack the side and rear.

When you rush to Tuoxian, the normal route only takes one and a half days.

If you fight a time difference, you can enter the city before Cao's army reaches its full position.

Whenever Wuping and Laixiang were prepared, Qiao Rui firmly believed that Cao's army could not be broken.

It's a pity.

Qiao Rui was right. If he marched at normal speed, this would be the ending.

But the leaders this time were Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin.

After this time, Qiao Rui's perception will be completely subverted.

Along the way, Cao's army traveled twice the way, and the marching speed was extremely fast.

The journey from Tuo County to Wuping and Lai Township is about 170 miles. It takes two and a half days to travel at a normal speed of 60 or 70 miles per day.

Even if you go twice the way, it will take two days to walk a hundred miles a day.

But if this is the case, I am afraid that Yuan Shoujun will get the military newspaper that he wants to be attacked in advance.

But at this time, Cao's army's daily travel speed reached a terrifying 120 miles.

At noon the next day, the Cao army's vanguard was only about ten miles away from Wuping.

On the other hand, the messenger of Yuan Jun was still dozens of miles away at this time.

In other words, the Yuan army's garrison at this moment was still unaware of his own movements.

Seeing that the outline of the city ahead had already appeared loomingly, he had a strong body on his body, and the horned bow was on his back, and the commander Xiahou Yuan, who had begun to issue various military orders at this time.

"Wen Qian, this time our army only has 3,000 infantry and cavalry troops. If we want to take advantage of the situation to capture Wuping, Laixiang will only have a few chances of winning if we launch a sudden attack."

"I think that at this moment, Yuan army in Tuoxian has already noticed the plan of our army, but they must have never expected that our army would cross more than 170 miles in one and a half days."

"At this moment, our army will make good use of this time difference and tear this line of defense before the enemy gets the news."

"I hope Wen Qian can break it!"

After the words were finished, Xiahou Yuan showed a serious and serious expression on his face, and said to a general beside him who was short but very tall, holding a long sword and a shield.

This general is naturally Le Jin, one of the five good generals who were famous in the original history.

Le Jin in this life has also begun to show his strength.

During the pacification of Yanzhou, Le Jin achieved a record of breaking through more than 15 camps of Lu Bu's army in three days, and directly tore the Lu army's defense line from it.

It provided convenience for the subsequent major advance of the Cao army.

It is precisely because Le Jin has made some progress in the attack that Cao Cao's division of troops has just activated the combination of Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin.

Compared with ordinary generals, Xiahou Yuan's marching speed will have a qualitative leap.

When Le attacks the toughest, no matter how strong the city defense is, any attack can be broken in a very short time.

This time, Cao Cao was able to say that he was full of his talents and strived to break through Wuping and expand these two cities in the county in the shortest time.

The city has been lowered.

At this time, the first war in Wuping was launched.

At this moment, Cao's army attacked the city wall like a tide, carrying temporary ladders to attack the city wall.

During this period, Le Jin even held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, wearing ordinary military uniforms, using a shield to block the flying arrows, and then quickly helped the ladder up and advanced.

He had the courage to look at death as if he was ready to go, charged forward, led the suicide squad to the city first.
