Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Hongnong City has fallen!

    Those few lines of words on the silk book instantly froze Le Jin there.

    Isn¡¯t Hongnong City located to the west of Shaanxi County? The Chu army has never been seen on the Yellow River. How could the Chu army capture Hongnong? Could it be that Yan Thief¡¯s soldiers all have wings?

    Le Jin was frightened, and Le Jin couldn't understand it.

    And when Le Jin saw the last few sentences of the letter, his whole body turned from panic to trembling all over.

    Because Le Jin saw the bad news that his beloved son had killed Huang Zhongzhen for the enemy.

    In an instant, Le Jin felt as sad and angry as if his liver and gallbladder were about to be broken.

    "You thief, you dare to kill my beloved son. I, Le Jin, will not give up until you behead your head -" Le Jin, extremely sad and angry, roared angrily.

    That roar shocked Cao Jun on both sides. They were deeply frightened. They all thought that General Le's son was not in Hongnong City. How could he be harmed by Yan Liang?

    Soon, the soldiers guessed that something happened in Hongnong City. Otherwise, how could General Le be killed by Yan Liang.

    This shocking guess immediately shocked the morale of Cao's army at the top of the city.

    At the foot of the city, Yan Liang's wild laughter had just subsided, and the murderous intent in his eyes was already burning like a raging fire.

    "All the troops, attack -" Yan Liang pointed forward with the Qinglong Sword in his hand and gave a long shout.

    With the fall of Hongnong, the enemy forces in Shaanxi City must be greatly frightened. If Yan Liang does not take advantage of the opportunity to attack the city, how long will it take?

    At this moment, the news of Huang Zhong's surprise attack on Hongnong City has spread throughout the entire army. All the soldiers in the army were inspired by the good news, and all of them were excited and full of murderous intent.

    The order was passed, the drums rumbled, and the battle flags waved.

    Without any encouragement, the morale-boosted soldiers roared and surged towards the Shaanxi County town with a chilling power.

    The army attacked the city with great force, and Cao Jun on the city was so frightened that they looked panicked.

    Le Jin, who was in grief and anger, finally woke up from the pain of losing his son.

    Looking at the Chu army who suddenly launched an attack, Le Jin suddenly understood that all the actions of the Chu army in the past few days were originally a cover for the sneak attack on Hongnong.

    "Could it be that the bandit army actually crossed the Kuzong Mountain in the south and attacked Hongnong from behind?" Le Jin finally came to his senses and guessed the truth.

    It¡¯s just that at this moment, he has no time to think carefully. The Chu army¡¯s flood is approaching the city. He must first overcome the difficulties in front of him.

    ¡°You all fucking move, stop the rebel army for me, anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed without mercy!¡± Le Jin put aside his grief and anger, raised his sword and roared at the soldiers.

    Under the threat of Le Jin, Cao Jun could only suppress fear and reluctantly muster the courage to fight.

    A fierce offensive and defensive battle began.

    This siege battle did not last long. Before an hour passed, Yan Liang ordered the withdrawal of troops.

    Yan Liang knew that it would take at least a few days for the news of Hongnong's fall to spread throughout Shaanxi County, which would deal a heavy blow to the enemy's morale.

    At that time, it was time for Yan Liang to launch a general attack, and with today's attack, Yan Liang just wanted to show off his force and scare Le Jin and his Cao army.

    After withdrawing his troops and returning to the camp, Yan Liang spread the news of Hongnong's attack to all the generals.

    The generals were all in high spirits and eager to try. They generously requested the battle, vying to be the first to break through Shaanxian County and win great achievements.

    Yan Liang was not in a hurry, and told the generals to maintain their fighting intentions and rest and reorganize themselves. Only after the enemy troops in Shaanxi City were defeated, he would take the opportunity to attack the city again.

    When the troops of Chu were up and down, their morale was high, they rode Juechen and headed straight for Guanzhong.

    Late at night, Huayin, Cao Jun camp.

    In the big tent, Cao Cao slept soundly. Since moving to Huayin, Cao Cao rarely slept peacefully.

    This was also because Lejin in Shaanxi County was well-defended, and Yan Liang's soldiers were in the strong city. He was unable to advance a step for nearly half a month. This optimistic situation made Cao Cao feel greatly relaxed. With his mind relaxed, he naturally ate well and slept well.  fragrant.

    Cao Cao, who was sleeping soundly, had a proud smile on his lips.

    In the dream, he dreamed that he was marching eastward, defeating Yan Liang, avenging his previous humiliation, and holding Yan Liang's head high on the tip of his sword. What a joy and relief

    Just when he was dreaming of being proud, the noise outside the tent woke Cao Cao from his sleep.

    "The prime minister has fallen asleep, no one can disturb him." Outside the tent, Xu Chu coldly rejected someone.

    "I have an urgent matter, please Zhongkang must inform the Prime Minister."?Listening to the voice, it seemed to be Liu Ye's.

    "It's rare for the Prime Minister to have a peaceful sleep. Even if he comes down from his bed, no one is allowed to disturb him. Mr. Liu, please go back first. It won't be too late to report back tomorrow morning."

    "It will be too late tomorrow morning."

    Liu Ye's anxious voice wiped away all the joy in Cao Cao's dream. His nerves suddenly became tense and he hurriedly said: "Zhongkang, let Ziyang come in."

    Xu Chu outside the tent heard this and knew that Cao Cao had woken up, so he let Liu Ye in with a livid face.

    Liu Ye walked in in a hurry, without even giving him a courtesy, he cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, something bad has happened. Huang Zhong, the general of the Yan thief tribe, led his army to sneak across Kuzong Mountain and attacked Hongnong City by surprise the day before yesterday.  ¡±

    ??A bolt from the blue, five thunders.

    Cao Cao felt dizzy and his feet were weak. He just stood up from the couch and fell down again.

    "Prime Minister¡ª¡ª" Liu Ye screamed in surprise, and was so frightened that he rushed forward to help him.

    Cao Cao took a few big breaths and finally regained his composure, holding on for a while without spitting out blood.

    "You talk about Yan Thief, how did he attack Hongnong City?" Cao Cao, who looked pale, asked breathlessly.

    Liu Ye had no choice but to repeat: "The Yan thief sent a light army to cross the Kuzong Mountain trail from Lu's City and invaded Hongnong from the west gate. The son of General Le Wenqian was killed unexpectedly and became a thief general.  Killed by Huang Zhong."

    At this moment, Cao Cao finally understood.

    Previously, he once laughed at Yan Liang's plan to attack Shaanxi County from the Yellow River. Only now did he suddenly understand that it was just Yan Liang's plan to mislead the enemy.

    Yan Liang actually dared to send people across the vast Kuzong Mountains, using this incredible method to severely humiliate him once again.

    "Yan Liang, Yan Liang, why did he fool me again? It's hateful¡ª¡ª"

    Cao Cao was shocked and angry. His face turned pale and blue, and he was so angry that he was already going crazy.

    "Prime Minister, your health is important. Don't let your anger hurt your body." Liu Ye advised anxiously.

    Cao Cao took a few breaths, put his hand on his chest, tried his best to suppress the surging blood, and finally managed to calm down.

    "I never expected that Thief Yan would be so cunning and bold that he would dare to use such a dangerous trick." Cao Cao sighed helplessly.

    Liu Ye then sighed: "The Yan thief dared to attack Liaodong by sea. It is only natural that he could use such a dangerous strategy. It's just that we were stupid and failed to uncover the Yan thief's treacherous plan for the Prime Minister."

    Liu Ye put the responsibility on these counselors.

    "You don't have to blame yourself. For Hongnong's fall, it's hard to escape the guilt." Cao Cao shook his head and sighed, stood up slowly, waved his hands and sighed: "Immediately give the order, and the whole army will set off to leave the customs immediately, and go  Let¡¯s take Hongnong back.¡±

    Helpless, Cao Cao led 30,000 Cao troops that night, marched eastward from Tongguan under starry night, and rushed to Hongnong City.

    What Cao Cao has to do is, of course, to retake Hongnong City and open up the connection with Shaanxi County.

    At this time, four days had passed since Huang Zhong successfully attacked Hongnong City.

    Four days were enough for Huang Zhong to complete his persistent deployment.

    Hongnong City was strong, and Huang Zhong used 5,000 troops to resist Cao Cao's 30,000-strong army. He was actually not at a disadvantage.

    For Huang Zhong, his biggest weakness is food and grass.

    Although Hongnong is the seat of the county government, because Shaanxi County was the forefront of the war, a large amount of grain and grass were all gathered in Shaanxi County earlier. Most of the grain and grass in Hongnong County relied on transportation from Guanzhong.

    In order to avoid the dilemma of running out of food, the day after Huang Zhong entered the city, he "ransacked" the large families in the county and requisitioned their food for military use.

    At the same time, Huang Zhong drove all the residents of the city out of the county, lest these civilians who were short of food become a hidden danger after the city was besieged.

    After some tricks, Huang Zhong finally collected nearly ten days of food and grass for his five thousand soldiers and horses. As long as they save a little bit, they can last at least ten days.

    Huang Zhong believed that his King Chu would not let him be besieged for too long, and holding on for ten days was enough.

    As Yan Liang expected in advance, Cao Cao's army arrived immediately and surrounded Hongnong City. The 30,000-strong army continued to attack day and night.

    With a glimmer of hope, Cao Cao tried to remedy the situation, but soon painfully discovered that Huang Zhong, an old man, was not so easy to mess with.

    After five days of violent attack, Hongnong City remained motionless. Huang Zhong proved with facts that he was not only good at attacking, but also good at defending.

    ??Hongnong was unable to attack for a long time, but news came from Shaanxi County that the people in Shaanxi County had collapsed, and the soldiers began to show signs of fleeing across the city.

    If the situation continues like this, Shaanxi County will collapse without a fight before Yan Liang takes the initiative to attack the city.

    With the situation in Shaanxi County, Hongnong's attack could not be defeated for a long time. Cao Cao endured the double torture painfully.

    It was dusk, and the siege of the city had failed again. Cao Cao, who withdrew his troops and returned to the camp, sat down. The confidence he had in the past was no longer there, and his face was full of discouragement and heaviness.

    Both the civil and military officials on the left and right remained silent. At this point, they didn¡¯t know how to deal with this predicament.

    "Fengxiao, what should I do?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia for help. At this moment, he could only count on Guo Jia.

    Guo Jia has been silent, with his brows furrowed and thinking hard.

    Cao Cao didn't even dare to speak out loud. He held his breath and looked at Guo Jia with hope, hoping that this top counselor could bring him a glimmer of hope.

    If Shaanxi County is lost, all 30,000 troops will be lost, and Cao Cao's already weak strength will be severely damaged. At that time, he will not have the confidence to withstand Yan Liang's attack of more than 100,000 troops.

    After a long while, Guo Jia finally raised his head and sighed: "Now that things have come to this, it seems there is only one way to go." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
