Zhang He¡¯s judgment was very clear. If Cao Cao wanted to escape from Yiju to the west, there were only two ways.
Although the main road is easy to walk, Wushi County has been lost.
Therefore, after Cao Cao was defeated, he must flee through another path.
And that is the last hurdle to guard on the path.
As long as Zhang He holds this position, Cao Cao will be unable to escape.
After he explained it, the soldiers under his command suddenly realized.
They were full of regrets because they were not qualified to participate in the decisive battle, and they regained their confidence again.
On the second day, Zhang He and Ma Chao parted ways, each leading 50,000 troops and horses toward their respective goals.
At the same time, the army led by Liu Ke was also engaged in a tug-of-war with Cao Cao's main force.
Before this, due to the terrain restrictions between Qixian and Yiju, Liu Ke had not made any big moves for the time being.
But since Zhang He captured Wushi County, in order to contain Cao Cao, he was prevented from devoting his troops to attack Wushi County.
Liu Ke¡¯s offensive suddenly increased.
It¡¯s just that from Qixian to Yiju, you can only go along the muddy and low-lying Jingshui River Valley, and the conditions are very harsh.
Therefore, by the time Zhang He and Ma Chao met, Liu Ke's army had only marched forty miles.
Stopped at a location called Pavilion Kou.
The entrance to the pavilion is a very narrow and difficult pass, with the surging Jingshui River in the middle.
It was the rainy season and the river surged, leaving only a rugged mountain road more than ten feet wide on the south bank for passage.
Guarding here is Cao Cao's general Cao Hong. This man is brave, courageous and proficient in the art of war. He has blocked Liu Ke's army here for ten days.
But this is also related to Liu Ke waiting for news of another army, not launching a general attack, and forcing too much.
Today, Liu Ke finally got the long-awaited good news.
Ma Chao has defeated Cao Hong's 100,000-strong army. Starting from Wushi, he led an army of 50,000 people along the Jingshui River Valley toward Cao Cao, who was living in Yi.
The two armies will soon be able to attack from both sides and defeat Cao Cao.
Liu Ke was very happy. He took the envelope in his hand and said to the generals in the tent:
"Everyone, Meng Qi has defeated Cao Hong and taken over Wushi County. He is now leading his army south and will form an encirclement with our army soon!"
"That's great. Meng Qi is really talented. It's worthy of my confidence in him."
"Your Majesty, can our army launch a general attack? I've been holding it in here for a while, but it's really frustrating my subordinates!"
When the generals heard this, they were all overjoyed and asked for battle one after another. Their morale was high for a while.
Liu can see that everyone is so positive, so naturally he will not dampen everyone's enthusiasm.
Speaking of which, he has indeed stayed in Qixian for a long time.
If we don¡¯t advance, not only will our morale be damaged, but Cao Cao on the other side will also underestimate himself.
Therefore, Liu Ke finally made up his mind and started making the next arrangements.
"Okay! Since you all have this idea, I will not hesitate any longer. Dianwei, I order you to lead an army of 30,000 to attack Tingkou Pass.
It must be captured within three days. "
Hearing this, Dian Wei immediately stood up and said with great joy: "Yes! Your Majesty, it doesn't take three days, just one day, and I will take down the entrance of the pavilion."
"Capture Cao Hong's son alive and offer it to Your Majesty!" "
Dian Wei was full of confidence and promised, patting his chest.
In fact, you can¡¯t blame him for underestimating the enemy, because there has been no progress during this period.
But the craftsmen under his command were not idle.
A lot of warships such as bed crossbows, boulder-returning cannons, and even stern ships and building ships were built.
Previously, he just didn't want to push too hard, so as not to frighten Cao Cao and flee west before Ma Chao arrived.
Now that the encirclement has begun, Liu Ke finally has no hesitation.
The next day, Dian Wei led a mighty army to attack the defenders at Tingkou.
"My lord, it's not good, Liu Ke's army is attacking again!"
The sergeant on the top of the city saw the scene on the other side and immediately hurried to report.
When Cao Hong heard this, he did not panic. Instead, he laughed and said: "Hahahaha, why are you panicking!
It¡¯s not just once or twice. The general guarded the natural barrier at the entrance of the pavilion and had repelled Liu Ke's five or six attacks.
Which time is not the opponent who kills his helmet and armor and hugs his head.
Pass the order, just follow the previous arrangements and get ready! The general then went to the city to personally supervise thewar! "
Cao Hong¡¯s reaction is actually within normal limits. It cannot be said that he underestimated the enemy.
Because Liu Ke¡¯s army has attacked Tingkou several times.
But there is still no progress, and every time we lose troops and generals.
This also made Cao Hong despise Liu Ke's strength even more.
¡°However, today¡¯s situation is completely different.
Because it was just a feint attack before, just for show, today is the official attack.
This time, the drums were beating loudly and the momentum was soaring.
The defenders who closed the gate still looked down upon them, and were ready to give the opponent a head-on attack.
However, what surprised everyone was that this time the people walking in front were not siege infantry, but rows of equipment they had never seen before.
What shocked Cao Jun even more was that on the turbulent Jingshui River, more than a dozen warships actually sailed.
Together with the ground troops, they rushed towards the entrance of the pavilion in a mighty manner.
The completely different formations from the past completely woke up Cao Jun.
Lu Zhao, the deputy general who was originally commanding at the top of the city, quickly ordered someone to report to the general Cao Hong, asking him to come over and take command personally.
Cao Hong had just put on his armor and was about to walk out of the tent.
A soldier came running from outside and bumped into him.
Cao Hong is tall and burly, but only slightly swayed.
But the soldier couldn¡¯t bear it anymore. He received such a big impact that he bounced back instantly and sat down on the ground.
"What's going on, you're in such a panic?"
Although he did not lose his composure, Cao Hong was still startled by the other party and immediately frowned and asked.
The soldier didn¡¯t expect to bump into the general.
He didn¡¯t even bother to get up from the ground and kowtowed quickly to beg for mercy.
Cao Hong didn't suffer much damage, so he didn't continue to blame him, but asked him why he was in such a hurry.
Xiaobing then quickly told the reason why he came.
When Cao Hong heard this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
"Strange equipment? And a big ship? This is completely different from the other party's previous routine.
Is it a change of strategy? Hurry up and take this general to check it out! "
As Cao Hong said, he walked towards the pavilion gate under the leadership of Xiao Bing.
At this moment, Lu Zhao was wandering anxiously. When he saw Cao Hong coming, he immediately went to greet him.
"General, you are here. Looking at this battle, the other party seems to have bad intentions! Do you want to send an early warning to the king?"
Lu Zhao¡¯s face was very anxious, even though he didn¡¯t recognize the opponent¡¯s equipment.
But watching the battle, you can feel the huge crisis contained in it.
However, Cao Hong just arrived and is not too familiar with the situation here.
So he waved his hand to stop him and said: "Wait a minute! It's not clear yet what kind of medicine the other party is selling in the gourd.
It¡¯s better not to alarm the king for the time being. "(Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
