Chapter eight hundred and eighty seventh: take advantage of the victory to attack
"Save me!"
When Xu Mi saw Ma Chao coming, he ran back desperately, and kept calling for help.
As the main general, he turned around and ran away, and the other soldiers had no desire to resist. The moment the Western Liang Iron Cavalry rushed into the city, the defenders were in chaos.
"If you don't have the courage, killing you will only dirty my general's magical weapon!"
Seeing Xu Mi's cowardly appearance, Ma Chao grabbed the reins of the horse and turned to other places, stop chasing him.
However, if Ma Chao doesn't kill him, it doesn't mean that others won't take action.
When Ma Dai saw the opportunity, he raised his hand and arrowed. Xu Mi, who was still running in the distance, felt a piercing pain in his vest, and then he fell to the ground and died unwillingly.
"General Xu is dead, run away!"
Someone shouted, and the chaotic Yuan Jun began to flee back frantically.
In this dark night, there were shouts of killing everywhere. They didn't know how many people had arrived in the Wuling Army.
When they fled, most of the Yuan soldiers thought so while the Wuling army had just rushed in.
If they continue to fight and fight the Wuling Army out, they do not have such a high awareness. Besides, they may not have the chance to escape if they really continue fighting.
There is only one life, and these defenders cherish it very much.
The situation in Guandu surprised the Wuling Army soldiers who were attacking. They thought they had to pay a certain price to break the city, but who knew that they would open the city gate in an instant.
Now, the defenders are running away and are only a handful of them are still resisting.
"Soldiers, rush in and occupy this city!" On the city tower, Zhang Xiu stabbed an enemy general to death, raised his spear and shouted.
"kill!"
The soldiers were called by the commander and roared into the city, chasing Yuan's army to kill! Because they did not suffer much resistance, in the middle of the night, Guandu was taken down by Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao.
"Meng Qi, Yuan's army has no combat power. We can continue to attack forward tomorrow morning!"
Zhang Xiu said to Ma Chao.
"Didn't the king say that you should guard it after taking Guandu?" Ma Chao said.
After taking Guandu, they have made great contributions. If they attack rashly and give Yuan's army a chance to fight back, it would not be wonderful.
"Meng Qi, think about it, how will Yuan Jun perform tonight?" Zhang Xiu asked.
"Vulnerable!" Ma Chao replied truthfully, since he entered the city, he was so thrilling.
"The Yuan army has no desire to fight, which is a great opportunity for us to take advantage of the victory. It would be a pity to miss it." Zhang Xiu said.
Zhang Xiu really didn't want to waste such a good opportunity before her.
"Okay, we will continue to attack tomorrow, but Guandu must leave enough people here." Ma Chao said.
Their mission has been completed, and to earn other contributions, the first thing they have to do is to guard Guandu well.
"Brother, I'll stay here. You and General Zhang Xiu can act together!" Ma Dai said.
The speed of attacking forward must be fast. Ma Chao's command ability is a little stronger than Ma Dai and his prestige is higher. Therefore, Ma Dai is willing to stay at Guandu.
"General Ma Dai Gao Yi!" Zhang Xiu said sincerely. With Ma Dai left behind, there will be no problem with Guandu.
"General Zhang, how to attack tomorrow? The nearby Yuan army should have learned the news here." Ma Chao asked.
Since Zhang Xiu is eager to attack, there should be a solution.
"Meng Qi, let's pretend to be a defeated army in Yuan's army to go to the city to deceive!" Zhang Xiu said.
As Yuan's army fled, countless people were separated, which provided conditions for Zhang Xiu and others to deceive the city.
Moreover, there were many Yuan soldiers who died in Guandu, and their clothes and weapons were ready-made.
"Okay, that's it!" When Ma Chao heard this, Zhang Xiu had a solution and felt relieved.
The next morning, Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao led 10,000 troops to leave Guandu and move towards Wuchao.
After Wuchao, Yanjin was Yanjin. Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao's plan was to open the city gate and enter Wuchao, and then take Yanjin if you have the chance.
If it goes well, the Wuling Army will not have to worry about the ships crossing the river!
There were hundreds of soldiers wearing Yuan Jun's clothing in the Wuling Army's ranks, and their mission was to go to the deception.
Once Yuan’s army opened the city gate, they would have to defend it to the death so that the subsequent army could enter the city smoothly.
In the battle last night, Yuan's army was defeated too quickly and was not enjoying enough. The soldiers still had enough energy and were ready to fight in Wuchao.
"Meng Qi, you lead the cavalry to hide here, and wait for me to open the city gate!" Zhang Xiu said.
Zhang Xiu brought infantrymen, and the soldiers who were cheating were under his command.
"Be careful, come back if you don't do anything!" Ma Chao explained.
"Haha, don't worry Meng Qi!" Zhang Xiu said with a smile.
Wuchao, after a fire burned, Yuan Jun no longer dared to continue storing grain here. However, the guards who should be kept must be kept.
As a defeated army, there were hundreds of defeated soldiers who ran here, and they brought news that the Wuling army attacked Guandu.
The guard of Wuchao was the nephew of the high-ranking cadre and Yuan Shao. Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang fought for power and profit, and they all wanted to take him under their command.
However, the senior officials did not easily agree to any of them, leading troops to guard Wuchao, and were ready to wait until the three of them decided to make plans.
However, the defeated soldiers who fled from Guandu last night made the senior officials understand that if the Yuan family in Hebei continued to fight intra-fight, they would be defeated by the Wuling army that came across the river.
"Have the person who sent the message back?" the senior official asked the small school beside him.
"Go back to General, I've set off last night."
"That's good. I hope they can unite at this critical moment!" said the senior official.
After so long infighting, Yuan Xi was the strongest among the three brothers of the Yuan family. The senior officials didn't want to sort out the various traits.
He sent news to all three of them. To this extent, the senior officials did not feel sorry for the Yuan family.
"General, there are soldiers at the city gate who are trying to enter the city, saying that they are the defenders of Guandu." Some soldiers came to report.
"Eyes are wider and see clearly, don't let the Wuling Army sneak in!" the senior official ordered.
Afterwards, he was still worried and decided to go and take a look.
At the gate of Wuchao City, hundreds of ragged Yuan Jun were wailing.
"Open the door quickly..."
"Let us in..."
"I'm so hungry, I'll give us some food."
"We finally escaped from Guandu, why don't you open the door!"
Someone cried, his face full of sadness and despair.
"General! It's them!" Seeing the high-ranking officials coming, Yuan Jun on the city tower hurriedly made way out of his position so that the high-ranking officials could see the people under the city clearly.
"Who are you? Why did you come here?" asked the senior official.
"General, we are soldiers under General Xu Mi. Last night, General Xu Mi died in a fierce battle. We couldn't stop the Wuling Army's charge and were killed and scattered. We ran here after dawn. General, let's go in..." A soldier cried.
The high-ranking cavalry did not answer, but looked carefully at the defeated soldiers under the city, trying to see their identities from it.
"Brothers, kneel down to the general and ask the general to let us enter the city!"
The soldier who had just spoken turned around and shouted, and then the high-ranking officials saw the soldiers kneeling on the ground with each other, and raised their heads to look at him.
This scene was deeply touched by the high-ranking officials, and he saw a pair of panicked, hopeful and desperate eyes.
"Open the city gate and let them in!"
The senior official ordered! The eyes of the defeated soldiers under the city affected him.
Are those weak and desperate defeated soldiers really Yuan Jun?
no!
They were pretended to be Zhang Xiu, the Wuling Army. In order to play the role of the defeated soldiers, these soldiers did not sleep last night.
Only in this way can we perform fatigue and numbness so that we can't even stand the high-ranking officials.
They didn't sleep all night and had to fight today, which was extremely dangerous for these soldiers, but in order to succeed, they did so.
The city gate opened, and Zhang Xiuxin, who was mixed in the crowd, was in his throat. The next thing would be the most tragic...
