Just when the general was thinking this, Cao's army had already climbed onto the wall of Jixian City.
Cao Jun was truly a force of tigers and wolves. After charging up the city wall, Cao Jun's officers and men launched a frantic fight against Yuan Jun on top of the city wall. Yuan Jun was Cao Jun's opponent. After a moment of fighting, Yuan Jun could no longer hold on.
Seeing this situation, the defender really didn't know what to do. He thought he could hold on for a while with his numbers, but the strength of Cao's army was obviously directly proportional to the weakness of Yuan's army. Compared with Cao's army, Yuan's army was his opponent, and Yuan's army was defeated.
It's very fast.
After Yuan Xi got the news, he became extremely angry. However, after hearing that the city wall was now in some danger, Yuan Xi finally realized that he could no longer hide it secretly. Yuan Xi frowned slightly, and then ordered people to lead 10,000 elite Yuan troops to support them.
Cao Jun.
After the elites of Yuan's army joined, Cao's army's offensive slowed down significantly. The elites are elites after all. Even though the combat effectiveness of Yuan's army is not as good as that of Cao's army, it is obviously difficult for Cao's army to exert its combat effectiveness in the slightly narrow place of the city wall.[
Moreover, looking at it, most of the entire Jixian city wall is filled with soldiers of the Yuan Army. At this moment, it is dizzying, and it is difficult to tell which soldier is the elite of the Yuan Army, and which soldier is the cannon fodder of the Yuan Army.
At this moment, Yuan Xi's strategy finally paid off, and the numerous Yuan Jun soldiers finally stabilized the situation. Not only that, Yuan Jun gradually began to gain the upper hand. After all, Cao Jun had been fighting on the city wall for a long time, and his physical strength was naturally somewhat exhausted.
There was an endless supply of Yuan Jun soldiers on the Yuan Jun city wall. Killing one could make up for at least two more. Such a situation made it difficult for Cao Jun's soldiers to continue killing. In the end, Cao Jun chose to withdraw his troops with gold. After all, Yuan Jun had already occupied the city.
If they continue to fight, Cao's army will suffer heavy losses.
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Fei ordered his troops to retreat. Zhao Fei did not want Yuan Jun to suffer heavy losses. After all, Cao Jun still had a secret weapon. The chief clerk named Zhao Xuan has not yet contacted Cao Jun, but it is not too late to predict.
Zhao Fei's idea was not wrong at all. In the dead of night, a hanging basket was quietly hung from the city wall. There was a lean man on the hanging basket. After the hanging basket landed, the man looked around cautiously.
Then quietly disappeared into the night.
Soon after, this lean man appeared in front of Cao Jun's camp. He explained his purpose and was brought to Cao Cao and Zhao Fei.
Zhao Fei looked the person up and down, and felt that the man in front of him was shrewd in his eyes. Zhao Fei nodded slightly, and then asked: "Did Zhao Xuan ask you to come?" Zhao Fei's tone added
A little bit of majesty, and this is what Zhao Fei can add.
The visitor bowed deeply to Zhao Fei and Cao Cao, and then said loudly: "Yes, Master Zhao is my master!" The visitor's tone was full of respect, but Zhao Fei didn't pay much attention.
"Why did your master ask you to come here?" Zhao Fei asked loudly. Zhao Fei was actually very concerned about capturing Jixian. He was not as indifferent as he showed, and kept telling Cao Jun's soldiers to stand still. Cao Jun would do it every day
It consumes a lot of food and grass. Zhao Fei knows this better than anyone else.
"My master asked me to ask the Prime Minister, did the Prime Minister receive the message he sent?" the lean man asked flatteringly.
"Well!" Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully, but didn't say much. At this time, Zhao Fei said again: "Time is precious, so let's talk about the important things. It's getting dark now, and I don't want to continue to waste time.
On top of this!”
The lean man was obviously stunned. He obviously did not expect that Zhao Fei would say this. The man pondered for a moment, and then said: "Return to your lord, my master said that he can open the gate of Jixian for Cao Jun, but if we capture Jixian, my family
The master can’t help you much!”
Zhao Fei grinned, and then said in a deep voice: "As long as Chief Zhao can open the gate of Ji County for our army, it will be a great achievement."
"My master also said that all the elite Yuan troops in Ji County are under Yuan Xi's control. Even if my master can open the city gate for Cao Jun, it will still be up to Cao Jun himself after he attacks the city!" the man said loudly.
Regarding this matter, Zhao Fei obviously did not take it to heart. Yuan Xi's elite was just a joke in Zhao Fei's eyes. With equal strength, Yuan Jun could not even defeat Zhang Yan's soldiers, let alone
Cao's army became elite.
"In this case, just reply to your master and ask your master to open the city gate tomorrow, and leave the rest to Cao Jun!" Zhao Fei said in a deep voice.
The lean man nodded, then excused himself and left. Returning to the hanging basket, the man was hung up on the city wall. After saying hello to the generals guarding the city, the man headed directly towards Zhao Xuan's mansion.
At this moment, in Zhao Xuan's secret room, Zhao Xuan and several generals were waiting for the news from the man. At this moment, the entire secret room was extremely quiet, no one spoke, and they were just waiting quietly, waiting for the news from Zhao Xuan's confidants.
information.
Finally, there was a knock on the door, and the lean man appeared in front of everyone.[
Zhao Xuan was obviously the most anxious person. He took a step forward and asked in a deep voice: "How is the situation?"
"Lieutenant Zhao asked me to tell you that the city gate will be opened at noon tomorrow and the rest will be left to Cao Jun!" The man hurriedly told Zhao Xuan what had happened.
/
After listening to what his confidants had said, the people in the secret room immediately began to talk. At this time, a general was heard saying in a deep voice: "Open the city gate, but can Cao's army occupy the county seat of Jixian? If not, we will be deeply affected."
It’s harmful!”
There are many Yuan Jun soldiers in the city. If Cao Jun cannot capture Jixian, the generals who opened the city gate will definitely suffer. Although they know that Cao Jun is powerful in combat, the city wall was knocked down by Yuan Jun today. This makes Yuan Jun's generals suffer a lot.
Somewhat disappointed.
"If you want to achieve something big, you need to take risks. If you are really afraid of death, then what is the purpose of gathering here!" Zhao Xuan said in a deep voice. Now the arrow is on the line, but I didn't expect that someone would be afraid at this time.
Zhao Xuan was very helpless. Why didn't they think about it? If Cao's army could capture the city wall of Jixian in one battle today, then what use would they have to Cao's army? Only in this case would they have the value of existence.
Otherwise, it would have nothing to do with Cao Jun really taking Jixian for his own convenience.
"The combat effectiveness of Cao's army is obvious to all. Although Yuan's army defeated Cao's offensive today, Yuan's losses were huge. If the elite of Yuan's army could really match Cao's army, would Yuan Xi have to recruit troops everywhere to resist Cao's army?" Zhao Xuanchen
said the voice.
Hearing what Zhao Xuan said made sense, everyone pondered for a moment, and then someone took the lead and said: "We all listen to you, sir. We will do whatever you tell us to do!"
"I know that what you are most worried about is the safety of your family members. If this is the case, we need to plan carefully, so that we can not only rescue your family members, but also help Cao Jun capture Jixian!" Zhao Xuan said in a deep voice.
"After you go back, you and others will arrange five hundred soldiers to hide around their homes. As soon as Cao's army enters the city, you and others will command the soldiers to seize the mansion. After seizing the mansion, you and others will stay behind closed doors until the entire Jixian County
After the war subsides, you should try to find a way to contact me!" Zhao Xuan asked everyone.
Everyone nodded one after another. They were naturally worried about their families, so Zhao Xuan's arrangement made everyone very happy. As long as the family members were protected, that would be fine. Moreover, Zhao Xuan was definitely trustworthy. If he made the arrangements, he should be fine.
Zhao Xuan asked everyone to disperse, and then he fell into deep thought. Zhao Xuan knew that tomorrow's battle was related to his life safety, and whether he could survive would depend on his fate. If his fate was greater, then
Everything is easy to say, but if one is not careful, everything will be lost.
Time passed very quickly, and a day passed in the blink of an eye. In the early morning, Cao Jun launched an attack again. Cao Jun swarmed towards Jixian, but Yuan Jun's reaction today was obviously faster than yesterday.
But Zhao Fei didn't care about this at the moment. He was waiting quietly for the arrival of noon. In order to successfully capture the city of Ji County, Zhao Fei naturally arranged for the soldiers of the wolf pack to be on standby. After all, their elite level is worthy of trust.
, with them here, as long as the city gate is open, there is no possibility of closing it.
Noon gradually arrived, and the gate of Jixian, which had been closed for a long time due to the ban, slowly opened. Seeing the city gate wide open, Zhao Fei obviously had no doubts. He quickly ordered the wolf pack of soldiers to attack, hoping to capture Jixian
.
Cao Jun's army rushed into Jixian County, but Yuan Xi was obviously unaware of it. It was not until Cao Jun completely occupied the city gate of Jixian County that Yuan Xi realized that something was wrong.
Now that the city gate is broken, the city wall that Yuan Jun relies on for survival is useless. Without the protection of the city wall, Yuan Jun's low combat effectiveness is instantly exposed. With the city wall, they may still have some self-confidence, but without the city wall,
They suddenly lost their support.
When Yuan Xi received the news, the entire Ji County was under legal control. Cao's army had already entered the city and was swarming towards him.
Knowing that the city wall of Ji County had failed, Yuan Xi immediately made the decision to break out. His arrangement saved him. The elite soldiers in Youzhou were all under his control. With the existence of these soldiers,
Then you have the possibility of breaking through.
Commanding these elites, Yuan Xi began to break through to the north of the city. However, Cao Jun obviously did not want to let Yuan Xi go easily, and launched a pursuit and interception of Yuan Xi.
After a fierce battle, the sky was dark and the earth was dark. Under the strong fighting power of Cao Jun, the number of soldiers around Yuan Xi gradually decreased. They were either killed by Cao Jun, or abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Even though they were elites, they were still afraid of death.
Now Yuan Xi was clearly in a stalemate. Even though he had protruded through the city gate, Cao Jun had already formed a force to surround him. And at this moment, a cavalry force suddenly arrived. This person was none other than his own general Jiao Chu.
