Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

Chapter 456 Breaking through 3 levels in a row, Cao Shuo's army entered Guanzhong



When Cao Shuo came to Tongguan, he saw that the gate had been opened, and when he was about to lead a large group of people in, all the soldiers tried to dissuade Cao Shuo and let him enter last.

Together with Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan led five thousand Xuanjia troops to rush in, and suddenly there was a shout of killing in Guanzhong.

Countless archers poured out from the surrounding city walls. Duan Yan laughed and said, "We have captured Yang Xiu's defection to the enemy, and the general of Wei State is ready to die."

"Fire arrows!"

"dismount!"

Xia Houyuan immediately ordered his soldiers to jump off their horses, and then took out a small shield to protect his head.

The armor on their bodies can definitely withstand arrows, but they are all rockets, so it is necessary to prevent some of their clothes from being ignited.

"fight back!"

Cao Ren let out a loud shout, and the cavalry hiding in the middle took out their crossbows and started shooting back.

Puff puff!
The two sides shot at each other for a quarter of an hour, and each suffered losses, but overall, the Qin soldiers on the city walls suffered the most losses.

The armor of the Xuanjia Army is made of [-]-year-old steel. It is no problem to block their arrows from the front, but the armor is not airtight, and many soldiers were shot in the arms.

"Cao Ren, take your men and kill them on the city wall!"

"Rush me!"

Cao Ren took the lead and rushed directly to the city wall closest to him. Duan Yan on the wall was terrified.

These soldiers were able to hold down several rounds of arrows, which was truly terrifying.

"Stop them!"

Fighting in close combat was even more of a nightmare for the soldiers of the Qin State. The Hengdao Modao in the hands of the Xuanjia army was like chopping melons and vegetables, and quickly slashed towards the city wall.

Seeing that Cao Ren had succeeded, Xia Houyuan ordered his son Xia Houheng, "Bo Quan, lead a thousand Xuanjia troops to attack the southern city wall!"

"promise!"

An hour later, Duan Yan couldn't withstand Xia Houyuan's attack, and led the brigade to withdraw from Tongguan.

Duan Yan, who escaped from birth, looked regretful. He could have killed Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren, but the opponent's equipment turned out to be so powerful.

"Hey, I was entrusted by the Taiwei, and I let the other party escape."

Duan Yan integrated his troops and found that he still had more than 3 troops, so he stationed a camp twenty miles west of Tongguan.

At the same time, they sent people to Chang'an and asked Dong Zhuo to send soldiers here to support. Once Cao Shuo led the army to attack, Chang'an would be in danger.

Xia Houyuan welcomed Cao Shuo into Tongguan, and praised his eldest son Xia Houheng. Cao Shuo patted Xia Houheng on the shoulder and said, "Boquan, my army is short of a commander. You stay in my army for the time being." Let's go to the Chinese army."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

From the deputy general Rong Sheng to the commander of the Chinese army, although he was only one of the commanders, his promotion was not slow.

This time, Cao Shuo not only focused on his achievements, but also took care of his relatives more or less.

Cao Shuo looked at Cao Ren and said, "General Zixiao, the defense of Tongguan is entrusted to you. You must guard Tongguan for me."

"The last general takes orders!"

"Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, and Xun Chen, the three of you led [-] Xuanjia troops and [-] infantry to Huayin County immediately, and surrounded Duan Yao's camp."

"promise!"

After the three men led the soldiers to leave, Cao Shuo released Yang Xiu who was imprisoned in the cell, "Dezu, how is your father now?"

Yang Xiu cried: "Your Majesty, Li Ru has already seen my motives, so my father must not be spared."

Cao Shuo sighed, it was a pity that such a talented person was killed by Dong Zhuo.

"Dezu, I lack a master book by my side, so you can stay by my side and be a master book."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"How many soldiers are there in Chang'an City?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Chang'an still has [-] cavalry, [-] infantry, and innumerable amounts of money and food. Dong Zhuo scavenged these from outside the pass."

Guo Jia reminded: "Your Majesty, Tongguan has been captured by our army. Dong Zhuo will definitely send reinforcements to Duan Yan. Why don't we lie in ambush along the way?"

Cao Shuo thought about it, and felt that Guo Jia's guess was correct. Although Tongguan was not the last barrier in Guanzhong, its geographical location was extremely important. Zheng County, Huayin, and Baling were all flat.

"Yan Liang, I will allocate five thousand Xuanjia troops to you, and you will detour to Zheng County and ambush the other side's reinforcements there."

"promise!"

"At noon tomorrow, the army will continue to move forward and arrive at Zheng County before dark."

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Shuo was still asleep when he was awakened by Zhao Yu.

"Your Majesty, Nanyang County and Hedong County sent good news at the same time."

Cao Shuo took a look at it, and said hello three times.

Under the leadership of Zhao Feng and Zang Ba, the sneak attack soldiers sent by Zhao Yun from Fengxiang City successfully bypassed Lantian and captured Lantian County by surprise, leaving Li Su, the guard of Gaoguan, as a lone army.

But the next battle is the cruelest. Lantian's defenders are only 2000 people. If Dong Zhuo attacks the county at all costs, it's hard to say how long they can last.

If Zhao Yun can conquer Gao Pass in a short time, then the southern gate of Chang'an will be completely opened.

Cao Shuo took out a pen and paper, quickly wrote a letter, handed it to Zhao Yun, and explained: "Send the horse to Luoyang quickly, and let Xu Rong who stays in Luoyang lead [-] Xuanjia troops to support Nanyang."

He transferred Xia Houyuan away, and Zhao Feng and Zang Ba were not in Nanyang, leaving Zhao Yun with Wang Ling and Wang Chen brothers.

Once Guan Yu leads an army to attack Nanyang County, neither of them can stop it.

Cao Shuo opened another battle report, which surprised him even more.

Gao Shun and Liu Ye built plank roads to cover Chencang secretly, mobilized [-] troops in Puban and Fenyin respectively, and dragged Li Jue, the guard of Xiayang, and Li Ru, the guard of Linjin, who were on the other side of the river.

Then Gao Shun personally led [-] people into the camp, crossed the Yellow River from the direction of Jayang, and attacked Li Ru in Linjin.

Li Jue was worried that Li Ru would be lost, so he led an army to support him. Tian Yu, who was in Fenyin, took the opportunity to cross the Yellow River and took Xia Yang.

The army of Hedong County opened the passage to Zuo Fengling, and the soldiers rushed towards Zuo Fengling like a tide, while Li Ru and Li Jue defended the Luoshui coast.

Cao Shuo immediately summoned all the soldiers in the camp and said, "Gao Shun's army has crossed the Yellow River, and Lantian has been captured by Zhao Feng and Zang Ba. Next, we will give Dong Zhuo a different place."

Deng Zhan has been hiding in Chang'an City since he acted alone, and Shi A's team is also in Chang'an City. They must be given enough time to make arrangements.

Xi Zhicai said: "Your Majesty, there is news from the Jinyi Guard in Chang'an City that Dong Zhuo wants to recruit [-] new soldiers to support Zuo Fengling."

Fifty thousand recruits?

Cao Shuo looked disdainful, even if his soldiers were all the Feixiong Army, they couldn't stop the current Xuanjia Army.

Cao Shuo looked at Huang Zhong and said, "General Han Sheng, you lead [-] Xuanjia troops to build ships on the Yellow River section of Rui Township, and give Li Ru a signal to cross the river."

"promise!"
