Chapter 354 Confrontation
"General, the surrounding terrain has been investigated." A scout came to report.
According to the information sorted by the scout, Cao Cao reduced the surrounding terrain and mountains to create sand tables.
"The enemy has created a blockade here. The Former Yan army is ready to work with us and relies on the right place to change lives with us." Cao Cao pointed to this area and said.
Zhuge Liang nodded, "Brother Meng De's words are reasonable, but he still needs to fight. He can send a general to test the enemy's defense. If there are any flaws, he will increase his strength and take it down in one fell swoop."
"You can try it, but which general can take on this important task." Cao Cao frowned.
"Maybe General Cao Ren may be the chief general, and General Cao Zhang serves as deputy general, leading elite young stocks to attack the city." Zhuge Liang suggested.
"It should be a two-pronged approach." Cao Cao looked at the other side of the sand table.
There was a blank space, with no miniature mountains and terrain on it, and only a vague word "Northern Yan".
"The Former Yan just attacked Beiyan not long ago, so they can join forces with Beiyan to attack from front and back." Cao Cao said.
"Murong Yun, the monarch of Northern Yan, was originally named Gao Yun. He was adopted by the Murong family. Later, due to family struggle, he was surrounded by his subordinate Feng Ba to establish Northern Yan." Zhuge Liang said. "Feng Ba has a ravine and ambition, and may use his person to persuade Gao Yun to send troops."
"Yes." Cao Cao said, "but who can do it is possible for Beiyan to serve as an envoy."
"Before Jia Wenhe left, he sent some elite troops to accompany the army. It is said that Wenhe's secret envoys had contacts among the countries in the north and south regions." Zhuge Liang said.
"It's up to the military advisor to handle this matter." Cao Cao smiled.
"A large army is coming to Baihe City outside the city." Murong Ke received a report from the scout.
A large army?
When Murong Ke put down the brush in his hand, it can be seen that Murong Ke is writing a letter.
"Can you see the flag clearly? How many people are there?"
"There is only one word Cao on the flag, and the number of troops is about 40,000."
Could it be Cao Cao who led the army himself?
Murong Ke pondered in his heart.
But Cao Cao led an army of 800,000. If only 40,000 people were in charge, he would not have led the army himself. This army was mostly just here to test the information.
The commander-in-chief of the army is probably Cao Cao's general Zong.
Qianyan also has its own intelligence channels. Although it is not comparable to Da Yong, it still has relatively detailed information about the generals of the Da Yong military.
Murong Ke climbed the city tower.
I saw the end of the horizon in the distance, and a large number of cavalry came from afar, and then stopped in the open space several miles away from the city.
Under the city, in Cao Ren's army.
Cao Ren held the sword in one hand and looked up at the city wall.
This level is not very high, only a height of more than ten feet. There are still many farmers and soldiers repairing the city tower to increase the height, but it has stopped at this time.
The city tower is covered with flags and guarded closely.
[Cao Ren's command is 106, steady 2, follower 2, current command is 110]
Next to Cao Ren was Cao Zhang holding a spear in his hand and was full of energy and had yellow beards.
"Uncle, why not let me go and choose the general." Cao Zhang said impatiently.
"But." Cao Ren thought. He remembered that there seemed to be no powerful generals in the Former Yan. The powerful generals in the Northern and Southern regions were basically concentrated among the five countries of Northern Zhou, Northern Qi, Northern Wei, Former Qin and Eastern Jin.
Apart from that, there are not many powerful generals in other countries, and they are basically generals who are good at commanding troops.
It's also good to let Cao Zhang go and provoke and attack the enemy.
Cao Zhang was allowed to squeeze his legs and go out with a single hand with a spear in his hand.
"Cao Zhang is here, who dares to fight me!"
Cao Zhang rode a yellow puppet horse, holding a spear in his hand and wandering back and forth in Baihe City. The spear in his hand was raised high, pointing the tip of the spear to the city tower to provoke everyone.
A subordinate general behind Murong Ke clasped his fists with his hands, "I am willing to fight!"
This general came out of the city with two hammers in his hand, and was stabbed by Cao Zhang in one round.
The atmosphere on the city tower is a staggering one.
This general was considered a good player in the army, but he couldn't even go for a round in Cao Zhang's hands.
"This person is afraid he is an enemy of ten thousand people." Murong Ke's eyes were fierce.
"It's just a fight-free sign." Murong Ke said lightly.
Just show off the courage of an ordinary man.
The army has never been a place where one can show off one's own courage. There are more than one person in Huixu who has been strangled by his army over the years.
"Haha, why don't you hang a free battle card? The yellow-haired child is arrogant. Just let me teach him a lesson." Helian said with a laugh.
Helian Bobo said lessons, not killing.
Obviously, even Helian Bobo dared not assert that he would definitely defeat Cao Zhang.
It's just that he rarely meets an opponent of similar standards, and Helian Bobo is a little itchy.
"Get my sword left and right." Helian Bobo called out.
The personal soldiers carried a big sword forward. The sword was nearly two meters long and the blade was nearly two feet wide.
Helian Bobo grabbed with one hand, and held the knife on the ground and rushed out of the city gate.
[Helian Bobo's basic force value is 106, fierce 2, current force value is 108]
[Cao Zhang's basic force value is 110, Huang Xuer 2, current force value is 112]
Cao Zhang stormed Helian Bobo with a spear, and his pale yellow eyes looked like a ferocious tiger.
The light yellow energy wraps the spear.
Helian Bobo slashed hard with a big knife in his hand.
Clam
Helian Bobo's sword was shaken.
The spear in Cao Zhang's hand remained unabated, and the heavy shot fell on Helian Bobo's blade.
The two of them went back and forth.
Cao Zhang suppressed Helian Bobo's five-point force value and had a level of great realm.
We will fight for thirty rounds soon.
Helian Bobo gradually fell into a disadvantage, used a false move, and fled back to the city.
"This yellow-bearded child should be brave." Helian Bobo said.
"But no one has ever heard of this man being brave before. He is eight feet tall and yellow bearded and curly-faced. He should be Cao Zhang, the son of Cao Cao." Murong Ke said.
Murong Ke then ordered people to hang up the battle sign.
Cao Ren then tentatively launched an attack on the city and was repelled by Murong Ke.
Thousands of people were killed or injured and then led their troops back to the camp.
"General, Baihe City is closely guarded, and Na Helian Bobo and Murong Ke are both in the city. I'm afraid it's difficult to win the battle." Cao Ren said.
"But the enemy should not have any powerful generals. Ziwen went to provoke him or Helian Bobo was defeated in person."
"Waiting for Northern Yan." Cao Cao said calmly.
A few days later, Feng Ba was convinced, and then Feng Ba persuaded Murong Yun to agree to lead troops to attack Former Yan after Cao Cao sent troops to surround Baihe City.
Cao Cao immediately led his troops to surround Baihe City.
At the same time, Xiahou Yuan was sent to 300 liters of troops to attack Murong Ke's rear, hoping to cut off all supply lines on the back road of Baihe City.
"Reported to the enemy, there are 20,000 elite cavalrymen approaching."
"Give the orders and the soldiers in the city wall should step up their defense." Murong Ke said calmly.
etc.
Murong Ke suddenly stopped, how did the cavalry attack the city, and there were only 20,000 cavalrymen.
Then the purpose of this cavalry is definitely not to attack the city, but to marche and bypass the city.
"Cao Cao wants to cut off our army's retreat." Murong Ke made a quick decision and attracted Helian Bobo.
"General Helian, we cannot let the enemy cut off our army's retreat, otherwise our army's advantage will definitely be lost if we lose supply."
Helian Bobo has a strategic vision and knows the importance.
He immediately went to summon cavalry and led 50,000 cavalry out of the city to intercept Xiahou Yuan.
