Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 1234: The city of Xiapi is broken

Since Xun You took refuge with Cao Cao, he has shown outstanding strategies. Cao Cao agrees with this, but in the past, Cao Cao relied more on Xi Zhicai.

After Xia Houyuan listened to Xun You's instructions, he led the tiger and leopard cavalry and disappeared into the night. With the speed of the tiger and leopard cavalry, he could attack the East China Sea before Zang Ba.

At the third watch, the private soldiers of the aristocratic families in the city suddenly took action and attacked the city gate. At this time, there were many private soldiers of the aristocratic families on the city. With the combination, there was chaos at the city gate. The heavy cavalry waiting outside the city swarmed.

And enter.

When Zang Ba heard the news that the city gate was lost, his expression changed drastically. If the city gate was lost, it would be difficult to stop Cao's army with the defenders in the city at this time. The elite of Cao's army was already reflected on the battlefield.

Chen Gong appeared in the Chinese army tent with slightly disheveled clothes.

"Gongtai, now that the city gate is lost, what should we do?" Zang Ba's voice was a little urgent. From Cao's army's attack on the city to now, although there are not a few troops lost, most of them are the original defenders of Xiapi, which really belong to Zang Ba's troops.

But there was not much damage. If Xiapi City could not be defended, Zang Ba could choose to withdraw from Xiapi and retreat to the East China Sea, constantly consuming Cao's army's strength.

Chen Gong said: "Now that the city gate has been lost, it must be the fault of the aristocratic families in the city. The most important thing at the moment is the withdrawal of the army in the city. As for the food, grass and baggage, all of them have been burned." When talking about this, Chen Gong looked a little fierce.

Food and baggage are very important to a large army, and they will never be burned unless necessary.

Zang Ba was also a decisive person and immediately issued the order.

The place where grain and grass were stored in the city soon burst into flames, and the entire city of Xiapi looked red against the light of the fire.

Xiahou Dun, who led the heavy cavalry into the city, sighed slightly when he saw this scene.

The heavy cavalry caused a bloody storm in the city. When Cao Jun entered the city, the city suddenly fell into panic. Panic soldiers ran around in the city. When facing Cao Jun, many soldiers chose to surrender.

Under Zang Ba's order, the soldiers in the city quickly gathered, opened the city gate and left directly.

Cao Cao also did not expect that Zang Ba would be so decisive and choose to retreat as soon as the city gate was lost. No matter who faced the situation of the city being breached, they would inevitably have thoughts of resisting. If they could drive away the enemy

If you leave, you will still be the master of the city.

Zang Ba led nearly three thousand soldiers and headed towards the East China Sea.

"General, order the army to stop advancing!" Chen Gong said suddenly.

Zang Ba asked in confusion: "What does Gongtai mean by this?"

"General, Cao Cao is a very good man. After occupying Xiapi, he will not let the general leave easily." Chen Gong's voice was a little low. There is no doubt that the counselors under Cao Cao are extremely powerful.

Zang Ba was shocked and said, "Please ask Gongtai to teach me."

"General, you can be like this..." Chen Gongfu whispered.

After listening to this, Zang Ba nodded repeatedly. He had just experienced the defeat of Xiapi. If the enemy were to ambush again, you can imagine what kind of situation the army would face. Moreover, the soldiers who followed him out of the city were elites trained by Zang Ba.

, it will also be his main force to resist Cao Cao in the future. Once the damage is too serious, it will be extremely detrimental to the war he will face after returning to the East China Sea.

"General, Cao's army has now captured Xiapi, and Cao's army has an absolute advantage in numbers. If Cao's army sends cavalry to sneak attack on the East China Sea, the East China Sea will be in danger." Chen Gong said worriedly.

Zang Ba said: "Cao's soldiers are numerous and powerful, but Wu Dun, the defender of the East China Sea, is not an easy person."

Chen Gong nodded and could only temporarily place his hope on Wu Dun to be more cautious. Otherwise, losing Xiapi and Donghai one after another would be a huge loss for Zang Ba.

Cao Ren was ordered to ambush in the mountains and forests. This was the only way for Zang Ba to retreat to the East China Sea. Thousands of heavy cavalry were enough to defeat Zang Ba head-on.

"General, the enemy has appeared."

The news from the scout shocked Cao Ren. "Get ready. Once the enemy appears, defeat them as quickly as possible. If you dare to go against Duke Cao."

"Here." The generals around said in unison.

At this moment, a group of cavalry appeared in the sight of the heavy cavalry. The destructive power of the heavy cavalry charging on the battlefield was undoubted. However, the advantage in protection made them inferior in speed.

The cavalry under Zang Ba's command were all light cavalry, and the cavalry were all wearing leather armor. Zang Ba led the cavalry and rushed forward without hesitation.

When it comes to the ability of scouts to gather information on the battlefield, the cavalry under Zang Ba's command is no weaker than the cavalry under Cao Ren's command.

"Kill!" Cao Ren gave the order without hesitation.

After receiving Zang Ba's order, these cavalry did not engage in battle with the heavy cavalry. After a brief exchange, they headed towards the East China Sea.

Cao Ren sneered. If he chose to ambush here, how could he not have some means? There were two hundred heavy cavalry in front. Once these heavy cavalry could stop Zang Ba's cavalry, Zang Ba would be defeated.

This battle was a huge test for Zang Ba. Having just experienced the defeat at Xiapi, his cavalry were already a little panicked, and now they had to face enemy interception.

"General, enemy cavalry has appeared in front." A general said with a slightly changed expression.

Zang Ba snorted coldly: "So what if there are enemy troops? The cavalry behind us are still far away from us, leaving a hundred people to entangle these cavalry, while the others retreat with my general."

Zang Ba took the lead and attacked these heavy cavalry. He waved the long sword in his hand one after another and was invincible among the heavy cavalry. Seeing this, the cavalry behind him followed Zang Ba closely and did not get entangled with these heavy cavalry.

Chen Gong's strategy was to have the cavalry suddenly appear to lure away the ambush troops. After all, time was urgent and they did not have much time left. If these ambush troops could not be dispatched in time, once Cao Jun in the city chased them, they would

What we are facing is very likely to be the annihilation of the entire army.

The cavalry under Zang Ba suffered heavy losses in the battle with the heavy cavalry. After more than a hundred cavalry entangled the heavy cavalry, Zang Ba led the cavalry away without any hesitation.

Cao Ren led the heavy cavalry to arrive, and after defeating the cavalry left by Zang Ba, he looked a little gloomy. From Zang Ba's behavior in the face of the surprise attack, it can be seen that Zang Ba must have known in advance that there would be an ambush here, and in such a critical situation

Under such a situation, he was able to respond so calmly. It must be said that Zang Ba is an opponent worthy of attention.

Cao Ren issued the order to pursue. Only by destroying the cavalry in Zang Ba's hands would it be beneficial for Cao Cao to seize Donghai and Langxie. Otherwise, if the cavalry under Zang Ba's command were preserved, it would be a big deal in the next battle.
