Wen Ping and Cao Di were ordered by Cao Cao to lead 30,000 horses to leave Yecheng and go to Wei County to garrison and guard the only way for Guan Yu to advance westward.
In order to complete Han Xin's plan to break the Han army all the way, Cao Cao gave up everything, directly abandoned the former national capital Yecheng, leaving only 2,000 soldiers to garrison, and ordered Wen Ping and Cao Di to block Wei County, a necessary checkpoint leading to Hanoi, and prevent Guan Yu from reinforcing Xu Huang.
Guan Yu led his troops to cross the Yellow River two days ago, and trapped Yangping, Yuancheng, Guantao and other places all the way, and the troops approached Yecheng, but they were strongly blocked by the Wei army in Wei County.
The 150,000 Han army advanced from east to west, waving flags all the way, covering the sun with dust, and slaughtering the city of Wei County until four or five miles east of the city did not stop the pace of advance and stand by in array.
At the opening of the banner, Guan Yu lined up surrounded by the generals, raised his eyes and looked out, but saw that the head of Wei County was lined with armor, swords and guns, and it seemed that there were at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses: "Mr.
Gongtai, since Cao Cao has a heavy army to guard Wei County, it seems that the information of the scouts is correct, and the main army of Cao Wei really went west, but Cao Cao gave up Yecheng and marched westward, what did he want?"
Chen Gong reined in the reins with one arm and muttered: "Cao Cao most of the time adopted the strategy of concentrating his forces to storm our army all the way, and nine times out of ten he attacked Xu Huang or Xu Da. ” "In this case, our army must quickly break through Wei County and reinforce Xu Gongming to the west" Guan Yu suddenly had an epiphany, stroked his beautiful hair and ordered loudly, "The whole army listens to the order, tries its best to attack the city, and must take Wei County within twelve hours" Under the command of Guan Yu, the Han army launched a wheel offensive against Wei County according to a phalanx of 20,000 people, commanded by six people, including Long Ji, Yang Yanzhao, Guan Ling, Guan Ping, Guo Huai, and Wei Yan, while Guan Yu and Chen Gong chose a high ground to watch the battle, and ordered Guan Xing and Zhang Bao to lead 15,000 people each.
"Siege" Guan Yu gave an order and personally beat the drum to cheer.
With Guan Yu's order, the first wave of Han soldiers launched a fierce offensive towards Wei County under the leadership of Long Ji, and caused strong pressure on the defenders with weapons such as well fences, thunderbolts, battering rams, bed crossbows, and Zhuge crossbows.
For a while, arrows rained down, the two sides shot each other up and down the city wall, countless casualties, screams one after another, although the Han army paid huge casualties, but the Wei army was also dizzy by the boulders thrown by the thunderbolts.
From the fierce battle from early morning to noon, Guan Yu saw the Wei army on the city wall showing a tired posture on the high slope, and immediately shook the flag to order the dragon to retreat, and Yang Yanzhao, who was waiting for work, led his headquarters to storm the city.
Long He received the order to quickly withdraw from the battlefield to rest, and the Wei army on the city wall did not have time to catch his breath before it was attacked by Yang Liulang's fierce attack, crossbow arrows wave after wave, thunderbolt car like a surging wave, endless, countless soldiers carried ladders across the moat and launched a fierce attack on the city wall.
From the fierce battle from noon to evening, Guan Yu once again passed down the order, asking Yang Liulang to lead his troops back, and Guan Ling led his troops to attack overnight.
The tired Wei army at the head of the city could barely spare time to fill their stomachs, so they could only continue to fight with the Han army.
"Ding Dong Guan Ling is affected by broken metal, Guan Yu, Guan Ping, Guan Ling, Guan Xing father and son are fighting on the same field, all the force is 1, and Guan Ling's current force has risen to 102" Guan Ling led his troops to attack Wei County for two hours, Wei County was already crumbling, Guan Yu waved the flag again, and ordered Wei Yan, Guan Ping, and Guo Huai to storm the city at the same time, "The Wei army is already sleepy and lacking horses, give me all the strength to attack the city, and take Wei County before dawn" In an instant, the sound of killing shook the sky, the sound of fighting suddenly increased several times, the dense catapults threw boulders at the city wall, and countless Han crossbowmen shot at the city wall, and the firepower overshadowed the Wei army on the city wall many times; There are more powerful bed crossbows that shoot out a half-zhang long strong crossbow towards the city wall, and the canine teeth are intertwined and densely packed, providing convenient conditions for the Han army's first dead soldiers to climb.
After fighting until the early hours of the morning, Wei Yan was the first to go to the city with a sword in his hand, slashed the surrounding Wei troops with his sword, and shouted to the Han troops under the city to follow, "Soldiers, keep up with my pace and cut the drawbridge" "I'm coming to Zhou Cang" Zhou Cang, who was separated by 100 zhang, was not to be outdone, jumped up with a long crossbow nailed to the city wall, met Cao Di on a narrow road, fought without a three, slapped a knife on Cao Di's back, spit blood when he landed, fell on the city wall, and was tied up by the Han army.
With the footsteps of Wei Yan and Zhou Cang, more and more Han troops climbed the city wall, from tens to hundreds to thousands, gradually controlling the city wall, cutting the drawbridge, opening the city gate, and letting the Han army enter the city.
As soon as the city gate was opened, Long Ji, Guan Ling, Yang Liulang and others, who had rested for a long time, led their troops to rush to the city gate, like a mighty torrent as unstoppable, fifty or sixty thousand Han troops brandished weapons, and instantly flooded the city of Wei County.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, Wen Ping hurriedly turned over his horse and went down the steps of the inner city wall, preparing to abandon the city and leave.
In the midst of the chaos, he was meeting with Long and narrow, and in desperation, he could only urge Ma Wudao to meet him: "I am Nanyang Wen Zhongye, and those who stand in my way will die."
Long He snorted coldly, urged the crotch to scratch his head and Shixue, and waved the tiger tooth and shattered the star to meet him: "The general of the defeated army dares to speak wildly, forgive you for being just an enemy."
"Ding Dong Dragon and Strong Kill Attribute Activation, Force 3, Base Force 99, Weapon Tiger Tooth Shattered Star Slash 1, Mount Scratching Head Lion Snow 1, Current Force Rises to 104, Instant Kill Chance Rise Condition Decreased" The two horses intersected, and there was no one in the battle, Wen Ping slashed the air with a knife, and was hit by the dragon and when he was hit in the chest, the head fell to the ground, and he was killed on the spot.
The remaining Wei soldiers saw that the main general was killed in battle, and the army's heart collapsed, and the dead died, and the surrender fell, and Wei County fell At dawn, the battle ended, and the Han army had conquered the checkpoint of Wei County at the cost of 15,000 casualties, annihilated more than 15,000 Wei troops, captured more than 10,000 people, and beheaded the main general Wen Ping, and captured the deputy general Cao Di.
Guan Yu waved his big sword and ordered the whole army to march towards Hanoi non-stop, reinforcing Xu Huang and Xu Da, and at the same time allocating 10,000 horses to Guo Huai, and ordering him to conquer Yecheng in the north: "This is a great achievement for God to help us, this time Yecheng belongs to our corps, please work together to destroy Cao Wei in this battle" Under the leadership of Guan Yu, more than 100,000 Han troops passed through Wei County, rushed to Hanoi, and entered the territory of Dangyin County in the evening. t1706231537:
