Chapter 172

The two armies encountered each other less than ten miles from Taiyuan County.

With the white horse and silver spear, Zhao Yun took Yu Jin directly. Yu Jin also saw Zhao Yun rushing towards him, and he also faced Zhao Yun.

"Clang!" The two war horses flew past and fought each other.

Afterwards, the Qin soldiers and Cao soldiers under the two men also fought with each other.

The number of Cao's army was 18,000, and the number of Qin army was 17,000. The difference between the two soldiers was negligible. And those who could station in Hexi County were all war-making soldiers in Cao's army. The elite level of Cao's army was no worse than that of the Qin army who returned from the battles in Yizhou.

The fighting between ordinary soldiers is evenly matched, and no party can gain a significant advantage.

This depends on the battle between the generals.

Zhao Yun and Yu Jin called back the war horses and rushed towards each other again.

"Clang!" The two of them had another attack on their weapons, and Yu Jinhu's mouth became numb and his face changed drastically.

Yu Jin's martial arts are not as good as Zhang He, so how could he be Zhao Yun's opponent?

After only seven rounds, Yu Jin did not dare to fight again and fled with his horse.

"Where can you go!" Zhao Yun shouted angrily and chased after him.

Yu Jin was shocked and fled to a place where Cao's soldiers were densely packed. Along the way, Cao's soldiers blocked Zhao Yun's path. Zhao Yun failed to catch up with Yu Jin, so Yu Jin fled.

Once Yu Jin was defeated, Cao's morale was greatly reduced.

At the same time, Zhao Yun was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, constantly rushing to the dense areas of Cao's soldiers.

When the white horse and silver spear passed, there were many pieces of Cao army soldiers killed. So fierce, coupled with Yu Jin's defeat, Cao army was defeated. Zhao Yun led the Qin army to chase and kill, and along the way, there were corpses of Cao army soldiers killed everywhere.

Yu Jin was defeated and fled back to Hexi County, and suffered more than 10,000 troops and generals. Together with the soldiers of Hexi County, there were only more than 9,000 troops left.

After Zhao Yun won the victory, he ignored Yu Jin who fled back to Hexi County. Instead, he joined the Qin army of Zhang Xiu's troops and attacked Taiyuan County first.

More than 32,000 Qin troops were under the city of Taiyuan County, which put great psychological pressure on the defenders in the city.

Zhao Yun shouted to Ji Fan, the general of Cao's army on the city tower, and said, "Yu Jin has been defeated. I will go to Hexi County to take his head in the future. If you, the Taiyuan defenders, have not opened the city gate quickly and surrendered, I will prevent you from dying!"

It is definitely the best to persuade surrender. You can take down the largest city in Bingzhou without a single soldier. If you fail to persuade surrender, you will attack the city.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu were disappointed, and Ji Fan, the general of Cao's army in Taiyuan County, was unwilling to surrender.

Ji Fan said to Zhao Yun under the city: "Don't waste your words. The King of Wei has great kindness to me. I would rather die than betray the King of Wei!" Not only is it a matter of loyalty, but his family is still in Chenliu County, not far from Xu. If he dares to surrender to the Qin army, not to mention his betrayal of King of Wei, Cao Cao, the whole family will definitely be killed by the King of Wei in anger.

Zhao Yun was furious: "I will not surrender, and after breaking the city, I will definitely take your head!"

"Siege the city!" Then the order was ordered to start the siege.

"Kill!" Thousands of Qin soldiers rushed towards Taiyuan County City with ladders and other siege equipment.

Although Ji Fanning, the governor of Taiyuan County, refused to surrender, Yu Jin was defeated and left. There were only a few more than 4,000 defenders in Taiyuan County, and the Qin army had more than 32,000 people, which was eight times that of Cao's army. The morale of ordinary Cao's soldiers was very low. How could such a situation be possible to defend Taiyuan County under the fierce attack of the Qin army?

In just over an hour, Taiyuan County City was destroyed.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu led the Qin army into Taiyuan County.

"Where is the governor of Taiyuan County? He won't come out to die yet!" Zhao Yun shouted angrily, looking for Ji Fan's figure. He had said before that if Ji Fan refused to surrender, after breaking the city, he would take Ji Fan's head and be unable to speak without trust.

Ji Fan knew that Zhao Yun would not let him go. After Zhao Yun found him, Ji Fan roared and took the initiative to attack Zhao Yun.

"I don't know how to live or die!" Zhao Yun snorted coldly, and the Yunlong spear pierced Ji Fan's chest with one shot, killing Ji Fan.

After capturing Taiyuan County City, Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu spent two days to divide their troops and sweep across other counties in Taiyuan County, and soon captured the entire county.

The next step is two directions: to attack Hexi County where Yu Jin is located, and to attack Shangdang County and Leping County in the east. The ultimate goal is to capture the entire Bingzhou.

Zhao Yun said to Zhang Xiu: "General Zhang, you and I will divide our troops into two groups, leaving two thousand troops to guard Taiyuan County, and there are 30,000 troops left. I will lead 15,000 of them to Hexi County. You will lead 15,000 to Shangdang and Leping the two counties, can you?"

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "General Zhao is just right!"

Immediately, the two of them divided their troops, Zhao Yun killed him to Hexi County, and Zhang Xiu killed him to Shangdang County first.

Hexi County.

Yu Jin heard that Taiyuan County had been lost and Zhao Yun was about to come to Hexi County. He had a hint of fear on his face. Obviously, after a battle outside Taiyuan County, he was defeated by Zhao Yun in seven rounds, and he felt fear of Zhao Yun in his heart.

Yu Jin faced two choices, and went out to fight or guard Hexi County.

When he goes out to fight, he is no match for Zhao Yun. But if he doesn't even go out, he will be surrounded by Zhao Yun. By then, the food and grass in the city will be exhausted and it will be difficult to defend the city.

In the end, Yu Jin chose to stay in Hexi County and not leave.

Zhao Yun killed him at the city of Hexi County. When he saw Yu Jin not staying there, he went to the city to contempt and said to Yu Jin on the city tower: "You are a rat! You are as timid as a rat, and you are a general in vain. Cao's command will all be the rats who are greedy for life and fear death!"

Zhao Yun cursed, and Yu Jin was so angry that he gritted his teeth and his face turned pale, but Yu Jin still refused to go out of the city to fight.

Seeing that he was in a state of excitement, Zhao Yun was not in a hurry to attack the city, but left only five thousand Qin soldiers to monitor the city of Hexi County, and he led the remaining 10,000 Qin soldiers to sweep across other counties except the county towns in Hexi County.

On that day, Lin County, the closest to Hexi County, was captured.

When Yu Jin heard the news, he was furious. He stared at the five thousand Qin troops under the city, grabbed his fists tightly, and endured it.

Finally, Yu Jin couldn't help it and ordered the city gate to open and lead Cao's army to break out of the city. According to his opinion, if Zhao Yun was asked to capture other county towns in Hexi County, then the city of Hexi County would become an isolated city, and the so-called lonely city was difficult to defend. Instead of being trapped to death in the end, it would be better to take the initiative to attack while Zhao Yun led most of the Qin army to capture other county towns and defeated Zhao Yun's five thousand Qin troops left outside Hexi County. There might not be no possibility of counter-defeating Zhao Yun.

"Kill!" Yu Jin left only hundreds of Cao's troops in the city, and after taking the other nine thousand Cao's troops out of the city, he rushed straight to the location of five thousand Qin troops.

The five thousand Qin troops were not afraid of Yu Jin and the nine thousand Cao troops. They fought with Yu Jin and the nine thousand Cao troops without panic.

Just as the two armies were fighting together, Zhao Yun led three thousand cavalry to the south and suddenly appeared. He instantly penetrated the rear of Yu Jin and other nine thousand Cao troops, blocking the road connecting Yu Jin and other nine thousand Cao troops with Hexi County City, and at the same time attacked Yu Jin and other Cao troops from the rear.

"Yu Jin died!" Zhao Yun took Yu Jin directly.

Yu Jin was shocked. He knew that he had fallen into a trap. It turned out that after Zhao Yun captured the two counties closest to Hexi County, he led three thousand Qin troops to ambush the south, waiting for him to lead the troops from the city out of the city.

The retreat was cut off and attacked from behind again, and Cao's army was in chaos in an instant.

Yu Jin did not dare to fight with Zhao Yun, so he fled and led Cao's army to the north and fought and retreated.

Zhao Yun chased after him and killed Cao's army again, and Yu Jin led less than 3,000 Cao's remaining troops to continue fighting and fleeing north. However, Taiyuan County was already occupied by the Qin army, and Yu Jin had no way to escape north, and was eventually besieged by Zhao Yun in a valley.

At this time, Yu Jin was hungry and tired, and had already reached a dead end. When he thought of surrendering, Cao Cao, and even more, when he was a family in Xudu, he was the first general to follow Cao Cao. Cao Cao trusted him and he was also loyal to Cao Cao.

"I can't betray the King of Wei!" Yu Jin gritted his teeth and was unwilling to be besieged in Guzhong and wait for death. So he led the remaining less than two thousand Cao troops and killed them again and fought with Zhao Yun and other Qin troops.

While fighting with Yu Jin, Zhao Yun snorted coldly: "There is only a dead end to fight, and you will not surrender!"

Yu Jin did not answer, and he slashed at Zhao Yun with three sharp knives in his hand.

Zhao Yun was furious and stopped hiding his hand. After six rounds, he pierced Yu Jin's chest! This was the real general under Cao Cao's command.

After killing Yu Jin, Zhao Yun captured Hexi County. Zhang Xiu, who was killed from Taiyuan County, also captured Shangdang County and rushed to Leping County. As long as he captured Leping County again, all the six counties in Bingzhou were captured by Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu!

After several days, the news of the Battle of Bingzhou spread to Luoyang, and Liu Yu and Cao Cao all learned about the situation of the battle.
