King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 533 Capture Puyang
Tai Shici and Lu Qian confronted each other around Mount Tai, and no one could do anything to them. The three thousand Wuhuan cavalry under Tai Shici's command were extremely brave, and they came and went like the wind, but after dismounting and entering the mountain, they were finished. Tai Shici's Bohai Navy was also strong. Incomparable, but Lu Qian's few small tricks made Tai Shici circle around Mount Tai and the surrounding mountains. Tai Shici suffered a big loss, and winter was coming, so Tai Shici had no choice but to stop fighting. , retreated to Zhangqiu to observe Lu Qian's movements.

And Li Lin had already entered Yanzhou from the western front. Before Li Lin set off, he had communicated with Tai Shici. Tai Shici immediately sent troops with Li Lin to attack the counties of Taishan County, but Li Lin also understood that Tai Shici, let alone Tai Shici, Even if the elite around him go, as long as Lu Qian leads the army into Mount Tai, he will not be able to be at peace. Li Lin has never trained soldiers fighting in the mountains. This blocking of Mount Tai can be regarded as an exception for Li Lin If I knew about the problem, I should have consulted Zhang Yan. The old boy has been tossing in the Black Mountain for many years. He must know the method of fighting in the deep mountain and the method of solving it. Otherwise, it is like Yuan Shao and Lu Bu who have fought against Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan, who also took one into the mountain, had no choice.

Li Lin ordered that Tai Shici pretend to attack Mount Tai, just to draw Lu Qian's troops on Mount Tai, and don't let Lu Qian suddenly hide in the mountains and disappear. Li Lin's blitzkrieg will take down Yanzhou within a few days. Even if Lu Qian had great ability, those who were surrounded to death would undoubtedly die.

But Li Lin didn't know that one thing was that Xun You's strategy for Cao Pi was to give up Yanzhou and protect himself. If Li Lin's blitzkrieg was not too fast, Cao Jun might have retreated now, and Li Lin even had the opportunity to retreat. None were given to Cao Jun.

Tian Yu led the vanguard to go straight to Puyang, while Zhao Yan, the defender in Puyang city, was already anxious like ants on a hot pot. The Youliao army was still west of Yingshui, and it took only a few days to attack his own Puyang city. It is estimated that his urgent report has not been spread far, and he is about to fight to the death with the Youliao army.

It can be regarded as the remaining senior generals of Cao Jun. Zhao Yan also thought about whether to surrender. Half of Yanzhou is already in Li Lin's hands. But he was also dead.

When Zhao Yan was in an infinite tangle, a messenger flew in and shouted, "General! General!"

Zhao Yan glared immediately, pointed at the messenger and shouted, "But did your lord send you a letter?"

The messenger shook his head and said, "No! It's a letter from General Lu Qian of Mount Tai!"

Only then did Zhao Yan come to his senses. It had only been a few days since he sent the urgent report to the lord. How could it be so fast? His eyes obviously did not fall, and he wondered in his heart. Wasn’t Lu Qian resisting Tai Shici on Mount Tai? What do you mean, said: "Letter to me!"

The messenger handed the letter to Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan opened the bamboo slips and looked at it. When he was already surprised, he said "Plop!" and sat down on the ground.

"General!" The guard on the side jumped, and ran over quickly to help Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan said in a daze, "My lord... My lord gave up guarding Yanzhou..." Zhao Yan's tone was very depressed, Although I know that even if the soldiers are in command of Yanzhou, Cao Jun still can't defend Yanzhou, but at least he can't just give up, and in Lu Qian's letter, it has been clearly written, "My lord will not send reinforcements, brother Yu If you still want to survive, you should quickly abandon the city to break through and rush to Shanyang County. Afterwards, you will cross Wenshui, come here, join forces and go straight to Jiuli Mountain. As long as you retreat into Xiaoguan, you can block the soldiers of the Youliao Army Feng!"

Lu Qian had a good relationship with Zhao Yan, so Zhao Yan knew that Lu Qian would not deceive him, let alone surrender to the Youliao army easily, otherwise he would not block Tai Shici at the foot of Mount Tai. Knowing the rapid attack of the Youliao army, Yanzhou had already lost half, so he hurriedly sent someone to warn him, otherwise he would definitely be trapped to death in Puyang.

Zhao Yan was still thinking about all this in a daze. Mr. Cao was so mighty before he was alive. The overlord of the Central Plains was killed by Li Yuanjie just like this. Now, Yanzhou, Cao Cao's earliest root, will also be brought down by Li Linda. Could it be that Is God so closed-eyed?

"General! General!" Before Zhao Yan recovered from his shock, he heard a soldier running towards him shouting, the voice was very anxious, and in Zhao Yan's ears, it was like an announcement of a funeral. The soldier had arrived. In front of Zhao Yan, he knelt down on the ground, pointed to the door, and shouted, "Youliao Army...Youliao Army...Youliao Army has arrived at the city!"

At this moment, Zhao Yan jumped up without being surprised, but muttered blankly to himself, "So fast, so fast!"

"General!" The guard on the side was anxious, and immediately reacted to Zhao Yan who hadn't reacted much, and said, "General! The soldiers are approaching the city! Hurry up and order troops to defend the city!"

Zhao Yan was already in a panic, and looked at the letter from Lu Qian in his hand, why are you still guarding the city?How can you hold it, but Li Yuanjie!Zhao Yan immediately shouted: "Call the army! Break out from the east gate!"

"Ah?" Everyone was shocked, Zhao Yan saw it, and immediately shouted: "Hurry up!"

"No!" The guard immediately cupped his hands, and then went to deliver the order, and Zhao Yan also got up immediately, went to collect his gold and silver, and fled with his wife and children.

Outside Puyang City, Tian Yu had already led an army of [-] troops, of which [-] were battalions of killing soldiers and [-] of cavalry were Li Lin's elite troops. The army behind him will pave the way, so the army behind him will also reduce a lot of losses. Of course, the commander of the army behind is Li Lin, and the spearhead of the blitzkrieg, because Zhao Yun still needs to cultivate, although he thinks he can fight in this way, but Li Lin still didn't give way, so Tian Yu was the commander.

"Boji! I will lead Qingqi to ambush to prevent a breakout, and the rest is up to you!" Tian Yu looked at the tall city of Puyang and said to Guo Huai, he is not an expert in attacking the city, but the real Experts here, although I am a commander, I still have to trust other experts. Tian Yu is very self-aware. Li Lin chose Tian Yu as the former army commander because Tian Yu is good at employing people and has both civil and military skills.

"Promise!" Guo Huai cupped his hands, and Tian Yu led the three thousand Xiao cavalry battalion to leave, while Guo Huai waved at the smashing battalion behind him. After a while, the siege formation against Puyang was already lined up. Guo Huai is not unprepared, otherwise, the broken barracks would have already suffered heavy losses. Since the broken barracks began to be used in Li Lin's actual combat, Guo Huai has studied various city structures, all kinds of With such a method of defending the city, Guo Huai even made himself better at defending the city instead of attacking the city, knowing himself and the enemy, and winning every battle, so that he can be hopeless.

As for the formation of the Shashaying Battalion, Li Lin made Guo Huai the coach, and directly allocated 1 people to Guo Huai for training. After the merger, Guo Huai's position as the leader of the killing battalion is not only due to Li Lin's respect and trust, but Guo Huai's skills are also tested. Although Guo Huai is not very old, he is younger than Li Lin, but his character has passed through so much. Years of tempering have already surpassed ordinary people, especially Guo Huai will not be like Li Lin, who often has an affair with his children, because Guo Huai's home in Bingzhou has long been slaughtered by high-ranking officials, leaving Guo Huai alone. After Li Lin helped Guo Huai to avenge his revenge, Guo Huai decided that he had only one relative in the whole world, and that was Li Lin.

Going south to Henan, every time he attacked a city, Guo Huai took the lead and charged forward, without fear of life or death, because his only relative, Li Lin, gave him an order to capture the city in front of him and break the enemy camp in front of him , even Li Lin asked Guo Huai to kill the captives, Guo Huai did not hesitate.

After successfully capturing Xuchang, Li Lin made a truce and formed the Shashaying Battalion. In three months, Guo Huai not only merged the three battalions into one, but also led the Shashaying Battalion with many newcomers into a very stable and very heroic group. Guo Huai has already studied the big cities in Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Yuzhou. Although he can only rely on a little information, Guo Huai has also designed his own battalion to attack the corresponding cities. The most effective formation.

"Kill!" Guo Huai waved his hand and ordered the siege. The battalion's siege troops moved slowly, and the current battalion can become an independent battalion without the cooperation of any arms. Because Guo Huai had already completed the preparations, he raised his shield and moved forward slowly. When he reached a certain distance, Guo Huai shouted: "Siege crossbow!"

I saw the sound of pulleys turning behind me. It turned out that ten bed crossbows were operating under the cover of shields. Jian Rui's arrow was a three-sided hook made by Li Lin, and it was hung on the top of the city at once, and the ladders with braided ropes were right on the city wall. Guo Huai roared angrily. Said: "Go!"

I saw that the broken barracks approaching in an orderly manner, accelerated in an instant, and rushed towards the city, "Kill!" He flew to the bottom of Puyang City, and quickly climbed up.

On the city gate of Puyang, there are more than 3000 defenders. How could it be possible to block the attack of the Shashaying camp? In addition, Zhao Yan was about to flee, but he ordered them to defend the city to delay time for himself, and he From the east gate where there was no enemy army, he led the remaining soldiers to escape. When the soldiers on the city wall realized that something was wrong, Zhao Yan had already opened the east gate and fled, and the Posha camp had already attacked the city wall. The defenders who were abandoned by the general surrendered without the ability to resist...
