Yuyang County.
Yuyang prefect Xian Yufu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
He was now Cao Cao's subordinate in name, but he actually had quite a lot of autonomy, which was equivalent to a small duke.
Due to his special location, Tadun had tried to rope him in.
But he didn't expect that Tadun would suddenly send troops to attack him.
Looking at the Wuhuan cavalry on the horizon, Xian Yufu frowned.
"Milord, the Wuhuan cavalry is coming at us with such ferocity. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold them for long!”
Beside him, his subordinates were also worried.
Indeed, his troops were not elite to begin with, and he had dealt with the Wuhuan for many years, so he knew how terrifying the Wuhuan cavalry were.
"I've already sent someone to ask Cao Zheng for help. I promised that after we defeat the Wuhuan, Yuyang Prefecture will submit to Cao Cao.”
"Cao Zheng is invincible. As long as he sends troops to save us, he will definitely be able to defeat the Wuhuan Cavalry.”
Hearing Xianyu Fu's words, the generals under his command felt slightly relieved.
However, there was a hint of worry in Xianyu Fu's eyes.
Cao Zheng only had 20,000 cavalrymen. Would he really dare to lead troops to save him?
Even if they came, could they stop the Wuhuan cavalry?
Seeing the Wuhuan people gradually approaching, Xianyu Fu raised his hand. The soldiers behind him had already drawn their bows like a full moon.
No matter how ferocious the Wuhuan were, they had to defend against them. If the Wuhuan attacked them, they would all die.
"Milord, the city walls are dangerous. You should go down first. We will definitely be able to block it.”
Xian Yufu's deputy said loudly.
"It's fine. I want to live and die with the soldiers.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow fell from the sky, brushed past Xianyu Fu's hair, and pierced the forehead of a soldier behind him.
The soldier's eyes widened. He was about to draw his bow, but he didn't have the time to release it.
The Wuhuan people were already very close.
"Kill!"
The strange cries of the Wuhuan people rang out, and the earth buzzed.
The one who had shot the arrow was a general at the forefront.
He was Chief Su Puyan's Left General Amman, a famous warrior of the Wuhuan.
He was Su Puyan's most trusted general and a famous master archer.”
"Release the arrows!"
After experiencing the fright just now, Xianyu Fu did not retreat but shouted loudly.
Thousands of arrows were fired from the city walls, but the Wuhuan soldiers were not stopped at all. They were about to reach the city walls.
"These are the most elite troops of the Wuhuan. We can hold them off for three days at most.”
Xianyu Fu was filled with despair, but he had no other choice.
As the Wuhuan people charged over, the battle began.
Because the Wuhuan's attack on the city was too intense, Xianyu Fu had no choice but to transfer the civilians in the city to guard the city walls.
For two consecutive days, every time the Wuhuan charged, he suffered heavy casualties.
"Milord, if this continues, I'm afraid the city will fall in half a day at most.”
"Will the general really come to save us?”
The deputy general's eyes were bloodshot. He had not rested for two days and two nights.
"I will."
Chen Xuan's rescue was their only hope now. Even if this hope was very slim, it was the only motivation for all the soldiers to persevere.
"Milord, Amman is attacking again.”
A soldier came in to report.
Xian Yufu, who had just rested for a while, picked up the weapon in his hand and was about to leave.
"General, you should rest for a while. You are now the spiritual pillar of our city. What if you fall?”
"There's nothing to rest for. If the city falls, we'll all lose our lives. Rather than lying at home and waiting to die, it's better to die on the city walls.”
Xianyu Fu came to the city wall with his weapon.
He saw corpses piled up everywhere on the city wall.
Many people looked into the distance in fear.
The Wuhuan people were too savage, and it would take more than ten people to kill a single Wuhuan soldier.
If it wasn't for the fact that they would die if the city was breached, the soldiers would have long lost the courage to defend the city.
Xian Yufu stood on the city wall and looked at the dense Wuhuan cavalry in the distance. He knew that he would probably have to fight until he was out of oil and the city would not be able to hold on any longer.
However, the commoners and their families in the city would all be turned into dead souls under these iron hooves.
Xian Yufu pulled out the sword in his hand and said coldly,"Today, I will live and die with the city!"
The general was not afraid of death, and the soldiers were also motivated to fight.
"Let's go all out!"
"Let's go all out!"
They shouted loudly.
At this moment, the deputy general suddenly exclaimed,""Sir, what do you think that is?"
Xian Yufu didn't need the deputy general to say anything as he saw the abnormality in front of him.
The charging Wuhuan army suddenly stopped and turned around, looking back warily.
In the sky, a white line was approaching like a rolling wave.
"Charge!"
A high-pitched shout came from the sky, shaking the clouds.
It was a cavalry.
Xian Yufu finally saw the true appearance of this cavalry.
All of them were holding spears and wearing white robes as they charged towards Amman's army. The black flag had the image of a skull on it.
At the front was a young general. He was wearing a white robe and riding a white horse. He held a long spear in his hand and looked majestic.
"Cao Zheng's army is here! It's really here!"
Sun Yufu was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
At this moment, Amman's cavalry was also in formation.
The Wuhuan Cavalry that dominated the north finally faced Cao Zheng's Ghost Owl Army.
On the city wall, Xianyu Fu had already clenched his fists.
He knew how fierce the Wuhuan Cavalry were.
Of course, he had also heard of Cao Zheng's Ghost Owl Army.
At this moment, he was praying that Cao Zheng would win, but he was more worried.
If Cao Zheng's Ghost Owl Army lost, then no one would be able to save him and Yuyang County.
Amman panicked when he saw the enemy behind him, but he quickly calmed down.
He thought of the elite cavalry he had used to roam the north, and then he thought of the sheep-like Han Chinese army.
Amman couldn't help but laugh out loud."If you kill a Han, you will be rewarded with ten fat sheep. If you kill a general, you will be rewarded with ten cows.
"What are you waiting for? There are so many cows and sheep waiting for you.”
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The Wuhuan soldiers roared.
"Let's go!"
Amman was the first to charge at Cao Zheng.
"This should be the Cao Zheng that Yuan Xi spoke of. If we kill him, we can let the Han people know that our Wuhuan warriors are truly invincible.”
Amman shouted and rushed toward Cao Zheng, raising his scimitar high.
Cao Zheng, who was at the front, naturally noticed Amman and couldn't help but sneer.
When Amman rushed over, Cao Zheng thrust his spear forward and collided with Amman's scimitar. With a clang, the scimitar was sent flying into the sky.
Amman's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to react, Cao Zheng had already drawn his sword and was already charging at him.
"Puchi!"
Amman's head was chopped off by Cao Zheng.
The six thousand cavalry used Cao Zheng as an arrow and charged at the Wuhuan soldiers.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people on the city walls, the two armies collided like two surging waves.
From afar, on the city wall, Xianyu Fu could hear the sound of weapons piercing into flesh, as well as the sound of weapons colliding.
Then, they saw the Wuhuan Cavalry, who had dominated the Northern Lands without fail, fall in groups.
Cao Zheng's army was like a flood of steel, tearing a hole in the Wuhuan cavalry and charging in.
The hole grew bigger and bigger, and in less than half an incense's time, it had completely pierced through the Wuhuan cavalry formation.
Cao Zheng then turned his horse around and charged forward a few times. The Wuhuan Cavalry were completely routed.
Under the iron hooves, there was only merciless slaughter and harvesting.
The usually mighty and ferocious Wuhuan cavalrymen had now become sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
In the end, they were so scared that they fled in all directions, but Zhao Yun did not intend to let them go.
Under the pursuit of the Ghost Owl Army, the entire Wuhuan army was wiped out.
By the time the battle ended and the area was cleared, nearly ten thousand Wuhuan soldiers had died. Not a single one had managed to escape. The Ghost Owl Army had wiped them all out. It was a massacre.
"Place the corpses of all the Wuhuan people on the plains and build a capital to show off your martial arts.”
The corpses of the Wuhuan people were piled up on the plain. The tallest one was a Jing temple, which was three zhang tall, like a small mountain.
"Let's go to White Wolf Mountain."
"Giddyup."
"Giddyup."
Cao Zheng did not enter the city. Instead, he went to meet up with Zhang Liao, Cao Zhen, and the others as planned.
Looking at the pile of corpses, Xianyu Fu was extremely shocked.
The Wuhuan Cavalry swept across the north, and to many Han people, it was a nightmare.
Back then, Gongsun Zan's White Horse Righteous Follower was so excellent, but he was still defeated by Yuan Shao with the help of the Wuhuan people.
But now, the Wuhuan Cavalry, who were like demons in their eyes, could not even withstand a single blow from Cao Zheng's Ghost Owl Army.
At this moment, Zhang Liao's troops were already stationed at Binhai Road.
Gao Lan and Cao Zhen were drinking with Chen Xuan in the big tent.
"Wenyuan, elder brother has been away for two days and should be back soon. But are we going to attack Willow City without waiting for uncle to send reinforcements?”
Cao Zhen was still a little uncertain.
Zhang Liao only smiled." The General said that speed is the most important thing in war. If we wait for the Prime Minister's army to arrive, I'm afraid it will take half a month. I can't wait that long."”
"But there are 100,000 Wuhuan soldiers stationed in Liu City…"
Gao Lan had only said half of his sentence when he saw Zhang Liao's relaxed expression. He knew that Zhang Liao would not listen to him even if he said it out loud, so he could only sigh.
Previously, when they had swept through Youzhou, they had fought against the remnants of Yuan Shao's army. Many of the enemies had already been frightened out of their wits before Cao Zheng's army had even appeared. The two of them had never had the chance to witness the true combat strength of the Ghost Owl Army.，It was normal to be worried.
……
At this moment, in Willow City, Wuhuan King Tadun was sitting in the main seat. Below him were his subordinates, Lou Ban, Wu Yan, and the Three Kings Nanlou.
Yuan Xi was also present.
Only Su Puyan, who had led his troops to attack Nanpi, was not here.
"An Mai should have already taken down Luoping City by now. In a few days, he will be able to completely occupy Yuyang Prefecture. At that time, we will form an encirclement with Su Puyan and wrap Cao Zheng up like a dumpling. After we destroy him, we will form an offensive and defensive alliance with Yuan Xi. The entire Jizhou will be mine.”
Tadun was very proud. As the saying goes, the fisherman benefits from the fight between the snipe and clam. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought in the dark, but in the end, he benefited.
As long as he occupied Youzhou, he would be able to look down on the entire Jizhou Prefecture.
It might even replace Yuan Shao's position.
At this moment, a soldier rushed in.
After seeing the soldiers, Ta Dun's face immediately revealed an excited expression. These were the scouts he had sent to investigate the battle in Guoping.
"How's the war going? Has there been any good news from Yuanping?”
Ta Dun laughed.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, when General An Mai led his troops to attack Gouping, Cao Zheng personally led his troops to reinforce him."”
"In the end, General An Mai was killed by Cao Zheng in front of the battle. The 12,000 soldiers were completely defeated, and none survived.”
"Cao Zheng also ordered people to pile up the corpses to build a capital temple. There are more than ten of them.”
"What?"
Tadun slammed the table and stood up. In his anger, he pulled out his scimitar and split the wooden table in front of him into two.
"Trash! Bastard!"
After cursing, he suddenly looked at Yuan Xi who was standing at the side.
Meanwhile, Yuan Xi was already trembling in fear.
"Young Master Yuan, didn't you say that Cao Zheng's army wasn't strong? Is this what you mean by not strong?"
"This…"
Yuan Xi could no longer utter a complete sentence.
After Tadun calmed down, he placed the knife beside him and said,"Wu Yan, Lou Ban, I order the two of you to lead 30,000 men each. I want to tear Cao Zheng into pieces!”
