Zhang Xiong carefully took Liu Ke's handsome flag from his father and kept it cherished.
Afterwards, Zhang He gave Zhang Xiong a few more words, and Zhang Xiong took a thousand soldiers and horses and quietly rushed to the mountains where Haizhaigou is located at night.
In order to avoid being discovered by the approaching Cao army, Zhang Xiong directly led the thousand soldiers and horses over the mountains and into the mountains.
Only a dozen scouts were left, lying in ambush around the main road, to detect the movements of Cao's army.
After Chang Diao, the leader of the army, was beheaded, the thousand soldiers and horses he brought with him were also wiped out.
Fortunately, the lieutenant general who was guarding the camp was prepared in time, so that all the troops and horses were not lost.
Under the command of the deputy general, a messenger was sent out that day to report what happened here back to Cao Ren¡¯s camp.
"I didn't expect Chang Diao to show his courage and lose his life in vain!"
After Cao Ren got the news, he was very shocked.
He originally just arranged for the other party to go to Wushi County to find out the truth, but he never expected that he would be killed in the city.
However, this also shows that Wushi County has indeed been controlled by the enemy, and it seems that the strength is not small.
In this case, Cao Ren would have to make changes.
Wushi County is of great importance, and it has blocked the only way for him to contact and cooperate with the King of Wei. He must not let it go.
Cao Ren immediately raised the issue to discuss the matter and arrange the next step.
"I want to retake Wushi County, who dares to lead troops there?"
"I will go there eventually!"
A uniform response came from under the tent, which finally made the anxious Cao Ren feel a little relieved.
After scanning everyone's faces, his eyes finally stopped on one of them.
"General Han Hao, I heard that Liu Ke's famous general Zhang He is guarding Wushi County. Do you dare to go?"
When Han Hao heard this, his heart suddenly trembled.
He has heard of Zhang He's reputation. He is not only brave, but also resourceful. He is definitely a difficult opponent.
However, Han Hao is also confident in his own strength.
He immediately replied: "Although Zhang He is strong, I am not a vegetarian! General, I would like to capture Wushi and capture Zhang He alive!"
"good!"
Cao Ren couldn't help but admire.
He picked up the wine glass on the table and came to Han Hao.
"Yuan Si, I wish you immediate success. I will use this wine to support your career. Please drink this cup to the full!"
Han Hao took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The generals in the tent immediately shouted hello for him.
Subsequently, Cao Ren ordered 15,000 troops to combine with the army that had rushed to Wushi County to form 20,000 troops, and marched towards Wushi County that day.
When the scouts sent the news back to Wushi County, Zhang He's expression immediately became cautious.
After Zhang Xiong took away a thousand men and horses, there were now less than 4,000 people left in the city.
Although the city is not big, four thousand people can cover it.
"But facing 20,000 Cao Jun, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for a few days.
And when he heard that the leader was Han Hao, his expression became even darker.
Han Hao is both wise and brave, and he is by no means as brave and foolhardy as Chang Diao. This is a difficult opponent to deal with.
Therefore, Zhang He quickly climbed to the top of the city and checked the city defense again to make sure everything was safe.
After three days, Han Hao¡¯s army finally arrived.
However, he did not immediately attack the city. Instead, he sent an envoy to the city alone.
It turns out that what the envoy brought was a letter from Han Hao urging him to surrender.
Han Hao pointed out in the letter that the other party could not go deep alone for long.
¡°If he opens the door to offer the city, it is guaranteed that he will definitely receive high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
After Zhang He saw it, he couldn't help laughing.
Because he has already seen the opponent's plan.
At this time, Han Hao sent a letter to persuade him to surrender. In fact, he was asking the messenger to find out his true identity.
Since Zhang He captured Wushi County and cut off the contact between Cao Ren and Cao Cao's army, it was impossible for the other party to know the situation on Cao Cao's side.
In other words, the letter called him a lone soldier, just to bluff the other party and get a glimpse of the truth from his performance.
That messenger is living proof that as soon as he entered Zhang He's tent, he kept secretly observing everyone's expressions.
Fortunately, Zhang He's palace was very deep, so he didn't catch any flaw.
Afterwards, Zhang He scolded the other party loudly, and then wrote back a letter and dismissed him.?Go out of town.
Zhang He returned the favor by telling him that your majesty's army was coming, but instead persuaded Han Hao to abandon the secret and surrender to the light.
After Han Hao saw the letter, he also laughed.
He knows that the other party has seen through his conspiracy, and now it is useless to talk more, only to see the truth in his hands.
These days, Han Hao has not been idle.
As soon as he arrived here, he arranged for his sergeants to cut down trees and make siege equipment.
After several days of working day and night, it was finally completed.
That day, Han Hao finally began to formally attack the city.
Wushi County itself is an ordinary county town, covering an area of ??less than two square kilometers, and the city wall is only two meters high.
Not only are there no turrets or urns, but even the parapets and crenellations are in disrepair and have suffered a lot of damage.
If it weren¡¯t for Zhang He¡¯s repairs during this period, I¡¯m afraid it wouldn¡¯t even be able to hold on for half a day, and the city would be destroyed.
And Han Hao has also done enough preparations in the past few days.
Catapults, ladders, and rams were all available. Surrounded by 20,000 troops, they rushed towards the city in a mighty manner.
In fact, to attack such a small town, there is no need to dispatch so many troops at once.
But Han Hao still does this, just to shock the other party psychologically.
As expected, when the defenders on the city wall saw the Cao army all over the mountains and plains, their faces changed drastically, and some even had their teeth trembling with nervousness.
When Zhang He saw this, he felt worried.
He took the initiative to come to the city wall and shouted to encourage the soldiers to dispel the fear in their hearts.
With the sound of earth-shaking drums, Han Hao finally commanded Cao Jun to formally attack.
In the first round, he did not immediately command the army to attack.
Instead, they ordered the catapults to be launched first, and the huge stones flew toward the city head in an instant.
"Bang! Bang! Bang"
Violent crashing sounds continued to be heard, and for a while people on the city wall fell onto their backs.
Some stones flew straight into the city, destroying countless houses.
The catapults in the city also started to counterattack, and all kinds of stones also hit Cao Jun with thunderous momentum.
Before the two armies formally engaged in battle, they had already suffered casualties from each other.
Since Han Hao came with a military order, the battle became intense as soon as it started.
Under the cover of catapults, the ground troops quickly rushed towards the city wall.
But as soon as they reached the distance of three miles outside the city, someone suddenly lost his footing and fell into the trap that Zhang He had dug in advance.
There were countless sharpened sticks buried in the trap. Anyone who was unfortunate enough to fall would have a few sticks stuck on his body and lose his life completely.
But these traps can only serve a one-time purpose.
After receiving the lesson, Cao Jun immediately became mentally prepared.
They quickly slowed down and used the spears in their hands to explore the path and see through all the remaining traps.
Finally broke through the trap and arrived a mile outside the city! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
