    Chapter 2680: Breaking three cities in two days and attacking Yangdi and looking for Xu Chang


    Ma Chao, Dian Wei and Xu Chu entered Jia County, but they did not come in alone, and they also brought 1,500 elite boys.


    When he learned that Zhao Yun was fighting hard and that the five generals who besieged Zhao Yun were still masters, Ma Chao and the third general handed over the command to Qin Qian and only brought nearly a hundred personal soldiers to support Zhao Yun.


    After Qin Qian took over the command of the infantry from Ma Chao and other generals, he immediately launched an attack on the South Gate Tower again.


    Previously, because he was a cavalry and had no shields to fight, he was unable to resist the Wei army''s bows and arrows. In the end, he had to be forced to retreat by Cao Wenzhao. Now that 1,500 elite swords and shields are in hand, he naturally could not allow Cao Wenzhao to continue to occupy the commanding heights.


    Qin Qian''s reaction was not slow, but unfortunately, Cao Wenzhao was very fast. Before Qin Qiangong came to the city tower, he transported dozens of catapults and a large amount of tinder oil again.


    "put."


    With Cao Wenzhao''s order, a large amount of turmeric oil poured down from the city tower, and instantly the gate of the South Gate turned into a sea of ??fire, which temporarily isolated the Qin army inside and outside the city.


    After seeing this scene, Qin Qian couldn''t help but curse: "His grandma Cao Wenzhao, there are no other tricks besides setting fire."


    Qin Qian didn''t care about continuing to attack the city tower, so he immediately ordered people to use sand to put out the fire first. After all, the Wei army in the city had more troops.


    Since Cao Wenzhao met the Qin army during the day, he was worried that there would be internal support from the Qin army in the city, so he set up many refusals at the streets outside the four gates to prevent the Wei army from fighting back if the Qin cavalry entered the city.


    When Yuan Huan rebelled, opened the city gate and let the Qin army enter the city, Cao Wenzhao mobilized troops as soon as possible, used defensive equipment such as resisting horses, and supplemented with gun formations, knife formations and other formations to block the Qin army entering the city tightly in the southern city area.


    Now that the Qin army''s iron cavalry has encountered a mistake in the offensive, it has been unable to break through the Nancheng for a long time, but the retreat has been blocked. In the internal and external difficulties, it is difficult for morale not to be affected.


    Therefore, Qin Qian’s decision to put out the fire first cannot be said to be wrong, but this is a measure of treatment but not the root cause.


    First of all, the fire-fighting action restrained nearly a thousand Qin troops and weakened the Qin army''s offensive in the city.


    Secondly, if Cao Wenzhao was not dealt with on the city tower, the Wei army would continue to dump the turtle oil, and the fire at the city gate would not be extinguished at all.


    Qin Qian obviously didn''t expect this, and just as he organized people to fight the fire, the Wei army on the city tower began to use the catapult cart and headed towards the Qin army in the south from top to bottom.


    Dozens of stone casters were continuously firing stone bombs, and occasionally one or two barrels of turbulent bombs were thrown, which made the Qin army scream and the offensive became weaker.


    Seeing that the army entering the city was suppressed by the Wei army at high altitudes, and the casualties increased rapidly, Qin Qian also realized that if Cao Wenzhao was not dealt with first, even if the fire at the city gate was put out, Cao Wenzhao would be ignited again.


    Five hundred people were left behind to continue extinguishing the fire, while Qin Qian, with thousands of shield soldiers, launched a third attack on the city tower.


    Cao Wenzhao knew that Qin Qian would definitely come to attack the city tower, so he arranged nearly a thousand archers on the stairs in advance, and as long as the Qin army emerged, they would immediately shoot.


    This move is fine against the dismounted infantry, but it is not that great threat to the Qin soldiers holding swords and shields and setting up shield formations.


    Seeing Qin Qian approaching step by step with the rain of arrows and rolling wood, and about to attack the city tower again, Cao Wenzhao used the same trick again and gave orders calmly to let the soldiers rush to the stairs to pour out the turbulent oil.


    "But general, there is not enough tincture. If you use it here, once the fire at the city gate is put out, there will be no tincture oil to isolate the Qin army inside and outside the city."


    "Don''t be afraid, I''ll have someone to continue transporting the irrigation oil."


    Cao Wenzhao said lightly, but he was extremely solemn in his heart. After all, the turbid oil reserves in Jia County are limited. If consumed like this, it will be consumed sooner or later. How can we resist the Qin army?


    Dozens of barrels of turmeric oil were poured down. Qin Qian suddenly changed his mind when he saw this and quickly ordered an emergency retreat.


    As a rocket fell, another large area of ??fire was formed. Dozens of Qin soldiers who had no time to withdraw were instantly burned into firemen and screamed in a shrill manner until they fell into the sea of ??fire.


    Qin Qian had been on guard against Cao Wenzhao''s use of fire this time, so before rushing to the city tower, he asked the soldiers to prepare sandbags in advance, so he asked the soldiers to use sandbags to block the stairs to prevent the fire from spreading, and then let the soldiers keep dumping the sand to put out the fire.


    On the city tower, Cao Wenzhao saw that the fire was controlled by Qin Qian, but the turtle oil around him had been used up, and before the spare turtle oil could be transported over, he did not care about attacking the Qin army under the city anymore. He immediately ordered the stone casting formation to change direction and prepare to attack Qin Qian''s troops.


    However, due to the distance between the two parties, the catapult car needs to be relocated again when changing the location, and the distance needs to be calculated. Both of these are extremely troublesome things.


    When Qin Qian was directing the fire to put out, he was also paying attention to the movements on the city tower. Seeing that the position of the catapult had changed, he immediately realized that Cao Wenzhao was going to use the catapult to deal with him. He couldn''t help but complain in his heart, but he had no intention of retreating at all.


    Faced with Cao Wenzhao''s crossbow formation, fire formation, and catapulted car formation, even if Qin Qian could capture the city tower, his subordinates would suffer heavy casualties.


    But if the commanding heights cannot be taken down, the Qin army will remain under the suppression of the Wei army, and the casualties will probably be greater at that time.


    Therefore, no matter how much sacrifice he made, Qin Qian must first deal with Cao Wenzhao.


    Just as Qin Qian and Cao Wenzhao were fighting wits and courage, the fire at the city gate was about to be extinguished by the Qin army, but at this moment, the Wei army transported a large amount of turmeric oil.


    "Haha, God really helps me, continue to pour turmeric oil into the city gate."


    Cao Wenzhao laughed and gave the order, but before the order could be passed down, the city tower was washed by stone bullets, and the attack came from outside the city.


    It turned out that just when Zhao Yun, Qin Qian, Ma Chao and others were about to enter the city to fight, Qin Liangyu, who was left outside the city, was not idle either.


    Qin Liangyu saw that her husband Zhao Yun and the three thousand Qin cavalry had already attacked the city, but she still failed to capture Jia County. She immediately realized that she knew that there must be masters in the city. Her husband was fiercely resisted by the Wei army, so she was unable to capture Jia County. So she decided to mobilize the stone-catted troops to come and provide support to the Qin army in the city outside the city.


    Seeing that not only were there fires everywhere in Jia County, but also on the South Gate Tower, Qin Liangyu decided to attack near the fire source after thinking for a while, because there must be Wei troops there.


    Although thousands of stone bullets were washed under the ground, they caused considerable trouble to the Wei army, but because it was dark and there was insufficient accuracy, they did not kill too many Wei army, but they destroyed the newly transported turtle oil barrels.


    Immediately afterwards, a soldier holding a torch was hit by a stone bullet and the torch fell and lit the tinder on the ground, which then detonated the oil barrel.


    Boom, boom, boom...


    On the South Gate Tower, explosions rang one after another, instantly swallowing a large area of ??the South Gate. Hundreds of Wei soldiers were either bombed or burned to death. Seeing that the place where the tincture oil was placed turned into a sea of ??fire, Cao Wenzhao''s face was full of disbelief and murmured to himself: "It''s over, it''s all over."


    All the accumulated tincture oil is ignited, and the next batch of tincture oil will be transported at least half an hour, but the fire at the city gate will be extinguished soon, and Qin Qian''s troops are about to attack the city tower, and everything is hard to come back.


    Cao Wenzhao never expected that Yu Hualong and his son had not yet defeated, but he could not stand it.


    At this moment, Yu Hualong let out a sad and shrill roar due to the death of his three sons, and the voices actually reached Cao Wenzhao.


    After Cao Wenzhao heard this, he knew that Yu Hualong and his son were probably more violent, and without Yu Hualong and his son blocking Zhao Yun, Jia County would definitely be lost.


    Now that things have come to this point, Jia County is no longer able to defend it, and it is just a waste of sacrifice to continue to stay.


    Taking advantage of the fact that the fire in the stairs had not been extinguished by Qin Qian, Cao Wenzhao made a quick decision and decided to abandon the city and flee and retreat to Yangdi.


    However, before leaving, he had to burn the grain warehouse and all the weapons to prevent these materials from falling into the hands of the Qin army, which was used by the Qin army to deal with the Wei army.


    Qin Qian finally put out the fire and rushed to the city tower, but there was no trace of Cao Wenzhao on the city tower except for the fire, burnt corpses, and the burned catapult cart.


    Qin Qian naturally would not be naive. He could not see Cao Wenzhao''s body, so he thought he was burned to death by a fire or was hit by a stone bullet. It is likely that he would retreat in advance when the situation was not good.


    "If you chase, you must not let Cao Wenzhao go."


    Qin Qian gritted his teeth and ordered, but before pursuing, he had to send a signal to Qin Liangyu outside the city to stop firing stone bombs, otherwise he would have no place to make any decision when hitting his own people.


    After Cao Wenzhao fled back to the city, he immediately sent people to burn the grain warehouse and material warehouse. When he fled to the east gate, there were less than two thousand soldiers left by his side.


    As for the remaining 13,000 troops, they were all trapped by the Qin army at the south gate and could not be withdrawn.


    Once Cao Wenzhao ordered his retreat, it would definitely lead to a complete defeat. It would be better to let them stay at the South Gate and continue to consume the Qin army.


    Boom, boom...


    Fires were lit in warehouses such as grain warehouses and armorys.


    Seeing this, Cao Wenzhao couldn''t help but feel relieved and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened and ready to retreat. At this moment, Yu Hualong rode alone and retreated.


    “General Yu.”


    After Cao Wenzhao saw Yu Hualong, he was naturally overjoyed. He was about to come forward to ask, but Yu Hualong didn''t even look at him, but instead said coldly: "Open the city gate."


    “Uh, this…”


    Cao Wenzhao showed a look of embarrassment on his face, but he did not disobey Yu Hualong. After all, he died five sons in a row, and it was normal for him to feel bad, so he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.


    Yu Hualong immediately rode his horse and prepared to go out, but the whim came again. He knew that his youngest son Yu De might have died in battle, so he looked at Nancheng with a sad face, and roared to the sky, "De''er, no..."


    [Dingdong, Yu De died in battle, the combination technique "Flesh-to-Flex" effect 2 is activated, basic force permanently +1, and force +7.


    Currently: Yu Hualong''s basic force has increased to 106 (+1), and his force has increased to 134;]


    [Dingdong, Zhao Yun killed Yu Da Yu De, Xu Chu killed Yu Guang, Ma Chao killed Yu Xian, Dian Wei killed Yu Zhao, and they all formed a feud with Yu Hualong to kill his son, and the task of "never die" was formed.


    Anyone of Zhao Yun and other four people can kill Yu Hualong, or Yu Hualong can get a reward: skill enhancement;]


    Within one night, five sons died, and a good family was gone.


    Yu Hualong could no longer cry at this time. He rushed out of the east gate without looking back with anger and resentment.


    "Oh, General Yu..."


    Seeing this, Cao Wenzhao wanted to stop him, but he was afraid that Yu Hualong would be angry, so he could only let the other party leave, and then led two thousand troops to retreat.


    When Cao Wenzhao fled twenty miles eastward, a Qin army suddenly appeared in front of him, with a population of about 3,000, and the general who led the army was Mulan.


    Cao Wenzhao did not want to fight with Mulan and wanted to break through and escape, but at this moment, eight hundred cavalry were chased by the rear, and the general who led the army was Qin Liangyu.


    Qin Liangyu and Mulan joined forces and attacked each other from the front and back, not only wiped out the two thousand Wei troops who escaped from Jia County, but also captured Cao Wenzhao, the general of Cao Wei, alive.


    At this point, the entire army of 15,000 defenders in Jia County were wiped out, of which nearly 7,000 were killed in battle, and 8,000 people, including the chief general Cao Wenzhao, were captured. Only Yu Hualong escaped and disappeared, and the Qin army also suffered more than 1,500 casualties, including more than a thousand iron cavalry.


    After Zhao Yun captured Jia County, he immediately ordered the army to put out fires and calm the people, strictly monitor the prisoners of war, and quickly reported the victory to Ying Hao.


    The next day, as soon as the genius dawned, Ying Hao received two great news.


    The first one is naturally the news that Zhao Yun and four other tigers killed the five-sided pox gods and captured Jia County.


    The second is that after Ji Ling failed to defeat Jia County, he continued to go east with Jiang Jiong. With Huang Zhong''s cooperation, he used his same trick again and successively defeated Gaoting and Juntai.


    Since the Qin army captured Yangyin City, only two passed, the Qin army has successively defeated three cities, namely Jiaxian, Gaoting and Juntai.


    At this point, the western defense line of Yingchuan has been completely broken by the Qin army, and there is no more place to defend west of Yangdi City.


    Next, the Qin army can attack Yangdi and look at Xuchang from afar.
