As soon as Xu Huang's army moved, Wei Yan and Cui Zhouping of Wancheng got the news. Cui Zhouping was a very cautious person. He immediately wrote three letters and sent them to Xincheng, Xinye and Xiangyang respectively.
At the same time, Wei Yan was quickly summoned to the prefect's mansion to discuss countermeasures.
"Chang Wen, Xu Huang led an army of 40,000 men and came to seize Nanyang with great momentum. How should we deal with it?"
"Ha" Wei Yan chuckled a few times, without any worry on his face, "Don't worry Zhouping, the lord left 20,000 troops in Nanyang, stationed in Xincheng and Wancheng respectively. And those prisoners of Cao's army who repaired Xincheng, After excluding the old and weak, there are still five thousand. I have retrained them and dispersed them into our Han army. Now, Wancheng has an army of fifteen thousand. Even if Xu Huang's forty thousand troops attack the city at the same time, We can hold on. What¡¯s more, we still have the control of Xincheng.¡±
"That's great!" Cui Zhouping finally relaxed after hearing Wei Yan's words.
"Zhou Ping, you lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city. I will lead 5,000 soldiers and horses out of the city and pull out their vanguard to weaken their spirit!"
"Chang Wen, Xue Ti and Cao Xiu, the vanguards of Cao's army, are both wise and brave generals. They must be prepared, and the ambush may not be successful!" Cui Zhouping immediately understood what Wei Yan wanted to do.
Xue Ti is a native of Yanzhou. He followed Cao Cao very early and made outstanding military exploits. Although Cao Xiu was Cao Cao's disciple, Cao Cao regarded him as his own son and often praised him as the Cao family's horse.
Cui Zhouping and Wei Yan naturally know their names.
"We know how powerful Xue Ti and Cao Xiu are. But they don't know how powerful I, Wei Yan, am!"
Cui Zhouping saw that when Wei Yan said these words, there was no arrogance in his eyes, but a kind of confidence, so he nodded. Of course, Liu Cong has already made regulations on the military aspect. Under normal circumstances, Cui Zhouping will not interfere.
"Wen Chang should also be more careful. If you can't do it, just retreat. We will reject the city and defend it!"
"good!"
Xue Ti and Cao Xiu led five thousand soldiers and horses to attack Nanyang. Along the way, the march was very fast.
"Zi Lie, we have left Yique Pass for more than a hundred miles. Counting the time, General Xu's army has just set off. How about we set up camp and let the soldiers repair themselves?" Xue Ti said to Cao Xiu.
"Xiaowei, I wish I could grow wings and fly to Wancheng!" Cao Xiu's face was as cold as frost, "I want all the Han troops in Wancheng to die to avenge my uncle!"
Cao Ren¡¯s death was a huge blow to the children of the Cao family. At the same time, they also hated Liu Cong, the herdsman of Jingzhou, and all the Han troops.
Xue Ti was a veteran general. Of course he knew that the general was jealous of his anger and raised troops, so he quickly advised: "Zi Lie, according to the report from the scouts, there are 15,000 troops and horses in Wancheng, and there are also 10,000 troops stationed in the new city. They echo each other!¡±
"Fifteen thousand troops and horses, there is nothing to be afraid of!" Cao Xiu disagreed. "The troops and horses in the new city are controlled by the two generals Zhao Yan and Zhu Ling. Wei Yan is an unknown rat. If he huddles into the city, I will definitely break it! If he If you dare to leave the city, I will behead him immediately!"
"Zi Lie, when marching and fighting, don't underestimate the enemy!"
"Xiaowei, you are getting older and older, but your courage is getting smaller and smaller. If you are afraid, stay here and camp here to wait for the news of my victory!"
"Alas!" Xue Ti sighed and shook his head, knowing that it was useless to persuade him, so he had no choice but to stop talking.
"Send my general order to speed up and reach Wancheng before dark!" Cao Xiu saw that Xue Ti no longer insisted and gave the order loudly.
"Promise!" The herald immediately went to deliver the order.
We walked forward again, about ten miles, and entered a valley.
"Zi Lie, the road ahead is narrowing and there may be an ambush. We need to be more careful." Xue Ti reminded Cao Xiu again.
Cao Xiu is also experienced in battles. Although he is eager to avenge his uncle Cao Ren, he does not completely relax his vigilance. He looked up and looked around, and immediately ordered the soldiers to stop.
The valley here is quite wide, and the afternoon sun shines in, making it very bright. But going forward, it becomes obviously narrower, and the trees are lush, blocking out the sky and the sun.
You can hardly hear the chirping of birds in the mountain forest, which makes people feel eerie and terrifying.
"Xiaowei, we each lead a team of soldiers and horses, one mile apart, and pass slowly. If we encounter an ambush by the enemy, we can support each other!"
"good!"
The two men quickly separated the five thousand soldiers and horses, and first sent some scouts to explore the road. After a while, the scouts came back to report that no ambush was found.
So Cao Xiu led his army of 3,000 soldiers and marched slowly towards the valley. After walking about a mile, Xue Ti led the remaining 2,000 soldiers.?? also set off.
The valley is not long, but they walked very slowly and carefully, so it took them about an hour to pass smoothly.
After the two armies merged, Xue Ti breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiaowei, am I right? Wei Yan is a cowardless person. I am afraid that when he heard our army coming, he would have been so frightened that he cowered into the city and did not dare to come out, ha" Cao Xiu laughed.
"Zi Lie, let's not be too careless. When marching and fighting, there is nothing wrong with being careful!"
"I have my own sense of propriety!" Cao Xiu disagreed very much, "The army must speed up. We must reach Wancheng before dark!"
With an order, the army began to run.
But after running less than three miles, they all stopped suddenly. They saw a group of soldiers and horses in front of them lying in the middle of the road, blocking the way.
In front of the soldiers and horses, there was a general, wearing black armor, riding a big black horse, holding a big sword in his hand. Behind him is a big flag with the word "WEI" written in big letters.
It is Wei Yan, the guard general of Wancheng of the Han Army!
"Ha" Cao Xiu laughed when he saw Wei Yan, "Xiaowei, it seems that Wei Yan doesn't understand the art of war at all. If he sets an ambush in the valley, he can cause us some trouble. But in this open area, To block the attack is to seek death!"
Xue Ti also felt that what Cao Xiu said was reasonable. Judging from the fact that Wei Yan had only three thousand soldiers, how could he stop their five thousand tiger and wolf troops?
"Soldiers, rush over and kill all these Han troops!" Cao Xiu ordered.
"Kill!" Cao Jun shouted, rushing forward like a tide.
The Han army stood there motionless.
Xue Ti felt a little uneasy. He always felt that something was wrong. What was wrong?
It¡¯s Wei Yan, it¡¯s the Han army whose expression is wrong! There was no trace of fear or panic on their faces!
"Zi Lie"
Xue Ti wanted to remind Cao Xiu, but at this time, the shouts of killing were loud, and all the soldiers rushed forward, unable to stop him even if they wanted to.
Just when he was about to rush to Wei Yan's formation, Wei Yan waved his sword, and saw the Han soldiers in front quickly move to both sides, and many strong buffaloes appeared in the formation.
"What are they going to do?"
As soon as Cao Xiu and Xue Ti were stunned, the buffalo charged.
The buffalo had sharp knives tied to its two horns, its tail was on fire, and it rushed towards Cao Jun's soldiers like crazy. And two buffaloes were pulling a thick rolling log with nails nailed on it! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
