Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

The heavy cavalry excitedly pursued Zang Ba in the direction he left. After Chen Gong led his soldiers to leave, he chose another road to Donghai County.

Cao Ren was a very strategic general in Cao's army. After chasing for half an hour, he realized something was wrong. Zang Ba could not just lead the cavalry and leave. There were many infantry in Xiapi City, some of which were even more like Zang Ba.

Even if the situation in Xiapi City is critical, Zang Ba will not give up these soldiers easily.

"If you lead three hundred men and turn back, if you encounter enemy troops on the way, there is no need to hold back." Cao Ren ordered to the deputy general on the side.

Although the deputy general did not understand Cao Ren's order, he clasped his fists in greeting, ordered the three hundred cavalry, and headed off in the direction from which they came.

Just when the lieutenant general led the heavy cavalry to the place where the ambush was previously made, Chen Gong led the infantry and just left. The infantry was not as fast as the cavalry, and it was much slower than the cavalry. Moreover, Chen Gong had to be careful that there were invincible troops ambushing nearby.

When the deputy general saw that there was no trace of the enemy on the way back, he looked suspicious. However, since he had received Cao Ren's order, he could only lead his cavalry in the direction of Xiapi.

Although they did not encounter Chen Gong leading the infantry, there were still many soldiers who escaped from the city, and the deputy general made some gains.

With an ashen complexion, Cao Ren ordered the heavy cavalry to stop the pursuit. This ambush did not have the expected effect, mainly because it suffered a big loss in speed, and Zang Ba was obviously prepared to some extent.

After chasing for more than an hour, Zang Ba's cavalry could no longer be seen at all.

"General, what should we do?" a general asked.

"Withdraw troops! Zang Ba escaped so fast. If it were the tiger and leopard cavalry that came forward, it would be difficult for him to escape." Cao Ren gritted his teeth and said.

After entering Xiapi, with the help of the aristocratic families in the city, and the fact that Zang Ba had already led his troops and horses to leave, Cao Jun took over the city gate and wiped out the remaining Zang Ba's men. At dawn, the city gradually returned to stability.

Cao Cao was still relatively disappointed without the food and grass supplies from Zang Ba. The situation in Yanzhou is not as good as it seems on the surface. After successive wars, Cao Cao's army has huge shortcomings in food and grass. Xuzhou is not stable and cannot rely on food and grass.

Provide support to Cao Jun.

This time they went to fight Zang Ba, and they only had enough food and grass for three months. The attack on Xiapi was delayed for a month. If Xiahou Yuan failed to attack Donghai County, Cao's army might be forced to retreat.

Unlike Xiapi, Zang Ba has occupied the East China Sea for a longer period of time, and East China Sea is close to Langye. Once a war breaks out, Zang Ba can transfer Langxie's troops to the East China Sea to resist Cao's army, and Yuan Shao has great control over Xuzhou.

He must have some ideas, otherwise he wouldn't have sent someone to secretly meet with Zang Ba.

If Zang Ba is forced into a hurry, once he asks Yuan Shao for help, it will be a big hidden danger. Although Yuan Shao was defeated in Jizhou, his background cannot be ignored.

Let us also say that after Xia Houyuan led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to the East China Sea, he saw that the defenders on the city were quite tight, and the people passing by the city gate were even more orderly, and there was no crowding. He frowned. If there was a crowd at the city gate,

, using cavalry to raid can have a very good effect, and it is not difficult to capture Donghai in one fell swoop. However, in the current situation, if it is a raid, it is very likely to fail, and failure will mean that their traces are exposed.

Xia Houyuan had a high status in Cao's army, and he was good at strategy. He was a wise general among Cao's army, and his martial arts were even more impressive.

Xia Houyuan decided to wait until nightfall before taking action.

Xun You's advice to Xia Houyuan was to act according to the situation. If the guards in the East China Sea are strict, they can wait until dark to disguise themselves as Zang Ba's cavalry and gain the city gate. If the defense is not strict, they can directly lead the cavalry in a surprise attack. As long as they guard

With a little negligence, the East China Sea can be seized.

The night was dark and the weather seemed a bit gloomy, but the guards on the city heard the rumble of horse hooves coming from outside the city.

Generals who have experienced battlefields are no stranger to the rumble of charging horses.

"Be careful, it may be the enemy's cavalry!" the general shouted.

The drowsy soldiers on the city wall took out their bows and arrows after hearing the noise outside the city.

Against the backdrop of the firelight on the city wall, the gatekeeper general discovered that the cavalry outside the city turned out to be his own cavalry.

"Hurry up and open the city gate. Cao Cao and the aristocratic families in Xiapi City should join forces and capture Xiapi. We fought desperately to break out of the siege, but we got separated from General Zang Ba. Cao Cao's cavalry was coming from behind."

In front of me, the voice shouted urgently.

The gatekeeper general asked: "Why didn't the city get any news before?"

"The defeat was too sudden. I guess General Zang Ba didn't have time to inform the defenders of the East China Sea. Hurry up and open the city gate, Cao Jun is coming." Xia Houyuan said.

The gatekeeper general was about to order the city gate to be opened, but Wu Dun led his soldiers to the city wall. Although Wu Dun was a bandit, he was highly regarded under Zang Ba. Otherwise, Zang Ba would not guard the East China Sea.

The matter was handed over to Wu Dun. Wu Dun's habit was to check the soldiers on each city wall before going to bed to see if they were guarding the city attentively.

Wu Dun showed no mercy to generals who did not follow orders. Especially after the war in Xiapi began, Wu Dun even killed three captains, so that the defenders did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

"General Wu is here." A soldier reminded.

The general guarding the gate hurriedly stepped forward and briefly explained the situation outside the city.

After Wu Dun heard this, he frowned. The news he got yesterday was that Xiapi was still in Zang Ba's hands. He didn't expect that Xiapi would change like this just one day later.

"Who are the generals in the army outside the city?" Wu Dun asked cautiously.

"My humble position is that of a captain in the army. I was lucky enough to lead the cavalry to break through the encirclement." Xia Houyuan's tone was filled with eagerness that could not be concealed, and he casually said that he was a captain. Xia Houyuan thought that as a guard general, he would definitely not recognize him.

A captain's.

Wu Dun shouted: "Keep the torch closer. I know the cavalry captain under General Zang."

There were 2,000 cavalrymen under Zang Ba's command. Because the cavalry's combat capabilities were relatively strong, five captains were set up. These five captains were also well-known figures under Zang Ba's command. In terms of selecting generals, Zang Ba

Ba is referring to the Bingzhou Army. Anyone who can become a cavalryman is an elite among the soldiers of each department. Being able to become a cavalry captain is even more remarkable. Not only Wu Dun, it can be said that most of the generals in the army know Zang Zang.

The cavalry colonel under Ba's command.
