The first thousand and sixty-five chapters turn and go
News of the fall of Pingqiu County came, and Cao Cao was stunned again, but Cao Cao was a hero after all. He was stunned for a while because of this message, and immediately reacted.?<?<(
"Send a quick horse to send a command to the garrison commander Mao Jie, Le Jin, and hang out the battle-free sign, and the reinforcements of Hulao Pass within the commander city; send commander Xu Huang, and Sima Lang, and hang out the battle-free sign, and the reinforcements of Hulao Pass within the commander city; send commander Li Dian, and hang out the battle-free sign, and the reinforcements of Jiyang, and hang out the battle-free sign, and hang out the battle-free sign, and hang out the battle-free sign, and hang out the battle-free sign, and hang out the battle-free sign, and hang out the battle-free sign, and the reinforcements within the commander city..."
Cao Cao came to his senses, stared at the combat map hanging on the wall and thought for a while, and then issued a series of orders.
After receiving the news that Yang Rui had broken through Pingqiu County, Cao Cao felt more and more that he was in danger. After measuring the left and right, he was preparing to mobilize the main troops from all over the place, hoping to gather Yang Rui's troops to annihilate them in the area east of Hulao Pass.
Hulao Pass had just been attacked by Yang Rui. According to the movements of the 50,000 soldiers commanded by Yang Rui at this time, Cao Cao judged that Yang Rui might intend to occupy Hulao Pass and block his retreat to Silizhou.
According to the news sent back by the 6th Secret of Tamma, Cao Cao had learned that Yang Rui's troops did not carry food and supplies. This was a taboo in Cao Cao's opinion. Once Cao Cao could dispatch generals from all sides to siege Yang Rui's troops in Chenliu, the rest would be consumed to death even if it was consumed.
Of course, Cao Cao's actions were not as simple as encircling Yang Rui's troops. If the purpose of encircling could not be achieved, or the war was not going smoothly, Cao Cao also had the intention to gather his troops and retreat to Silizhou.
At the same time, Cao Cao certainly understood that whether it was encircling Yang Rui or strategic retreat, Hulao Pass would play an important role in it. Whether before, during or after the war, losing control of the Hulao Pass would make him in a great passive position.
However, Yang Rui mastered a powerful method of tackling key problems. Just the day before, Yang Rui used this difficult method to deal with to turn Hulao Pass into a sea of fire. The soldiers of Cao Cao's army suffered heavy losses, almost ten times.
Based on the information feedback from the soldiers who escaped by chance, although Cao Cao did not experience the fire personally, he roughly inferred that Yang Rui used his flying pet to attack, which was Yang Rui's naval ship.
Since Cao Cao was unable to make breakthroughs in the navy in a short period of time and lacked effective air defense methods, Cao Cao felt that Yang Rui's attack method was very difficult.
You should know that Yang Rui's flying pet only dropped a round of "fireball" to attack, and the entire Hulao Pass fell into the sea of fire. Not only did the troops suffer huge casualties, but even Hulao Pass, as the most powerful pass, the level itself suffered great damage.
Except for the two extremely strong city walls on both sides of Donghulao Guanxi, most of the annexes inside the level were almost burned out, let alone various materials.
Therefore, even if Cao Cao wants to station his troops in Hulao Pass at this moment, it is very difficult. First, he is deterred by Yang Rui's flying pet fire attack methods, and second, due to the losses of the annexed buildings in the pass, Hulao Pass itself is temporarily unable to station a large number of troops.
It can be said that Hulao Pass has temporarily lost its role as a hero, whether in terms of safety, food and accommodation.
In this situation, even if Cao Cao was full of strategy, he could not think of any good countermeasures for a while. After the news of the fire in Hulao Pass came, Cao Cao just sent some brave generals and other soldiers to scatter the east and west sides of Hulao Pass.
Although this has reduced the risk of being annihilated by the fire, it is not enough to truly face the large number of Yang Rui's troops.
It was precisely because Cao Cao saw this that he dispatched the troops previously stationed in the five frontier cities to Hulao Pass and Jiyang in order to cooperate with Xiahou Dun and other Hulao defenders.
Cao Cao's plan to kill two birds with one stone was temporarily put aside, but after Yang Rui pushed Pingqiu County, he led the army to the direction of Fengqiu County without stopping, and just as the night was shrouded, he reached 500 miles outside the east side of Fengqiu County.
Although it was not too far from Fengqiu County, the Operation Committee of the Army was too difficult at night, so Yang Rui asked Cheng Yu to choose a suitable place and camped for a night.
As for whether the defenders of Fengqiu County will notice it in advance, usually the scope of exploration of horses between the two sides of the war is around O, and it is generally not easy to be discovered.
Having said that, Yang Rui's 50,000 troops have approached Fengqiu County. Even if the defenders inside are aware of it, they cannot dispatch troops to assist in defense in a short period of time. Therefore, Yang Rui does not care much about this.
After a night of rest, before the sky was dawn the next day, Yang Rui, the commander-in-chief, had already touched the foot of Fengqiu County and immediately attacked Fengqiu County.
The number of defenders in Fengqiu County is also not much different from Pingqiu County, and there are only more than 10,000 people. In this case, Yang Rui's siege was also very smoother than that in Pingqiu's battle.
After spending more than half an hour again, Yang Rui had successfully controlled Fengqiu County. Next, he was to search for supplies from the treasury, pack up gold coins that exploded on the battlefield, skill books for soldiers' transfers, and other valuable items.
Since Yang Rui would not be stationed in Fengqiu for the time being, the war in the entire Fengqiu County was very short. More than an hour later, Yang Rui had already left the west gate of Fengqiu County as the commander.
Before leaving Fengqiu County, Yang Rui left a backup plan and specially sent a letter from his troops to spread a lot of news in the city, so that a large number of NP residents and players in the city knew that he would rush to Hulao Pass next.
The direction where Yang Rui's troops left was Hulao Pass. I believe that what Cao Cao learned first would be the news that Yang Rui had gone to Hulao Pass.
Yang Rui did this, of course, to confuse Cao Cao's audio-visuality, and to add to the strategic position of Hulao Pass, he forced Cao Cao to mobilize troops to help Hulao Pass.
In this way, as long as Cao Cao's troops were dispatched on a large scale, Yang Rui's flying pet could play more roles. When Cao Cao's troops were defending the city, it was difficult for Yang Rui to act like a fire to attack the city.
Of course, Yang Rui's move was based on the limitation of information transmission. If Yang Rui knew that Cao Cao had begun to dispatch troops, it would not matter whether he would do it or not.
However, Yang Rui's commander went out of the west gate of Fengqiu City, and did not go straight to the direction of the Sour Zao and Hulao Pass. Instead, he turned north after traveling for more than 10 miles.
