Chapter 757 Cao Jun Joins Forces

The gate of Wu County City was open, and there was no movement inside. It seemed very safe.

Xia Houshang stared at the dark door and waved without hesitation: "Enter the city!"

"promise!"

More than two thousand Cao Jun quickly entered the city gate. Because they were worried about an ambush set by Jiangdong's army in the city, the Cao Jun who entered the city looked stern and remained on alert. They held their weapons firmly and were on guard everywhere, for fear of saying A Jiangdong soldier suddenly appeared somewhere.

However, after more than two thousand Cao troops entered the city, no trace of Jiangdong soldiers was found for a long time.

"Quickly control the city gates on all sides, the treasury, and the granary!"

Seeing that there was no movement, Xiahou Shang immediately issued an order. Cao Jun took action everywhere and controlled important facilities in the city one after another. Then Xiahou Shang sent people to tell Xia Houyuan.

"Jiangdong Army really retreated?"

Xia Houyuan still couldn't believe it. Zhou Yu's ability to lead troops was extraordinary. How could such a person escape without a fight? And you must know that once Wu County is abandoned, it means abandoning Danyang County and Wu County, and only Kuaiji County remains. Kuaiji County is located in the far south, with a vast territory and sparse population. It will be impossible for Sun Quan to feed tens of thousands of horses by then, so Xia Houyuan feels a little difficult to understand.

"Uncle, don't worry. Maybe Zhou Yu and Sun Quan are just short-sighted people."

Xiahou Shang confidently said: "As long as the Prime Minister's army arrives, we will be able to defeat the Jiangdong Army in one fell swoop."

Xia Houyuan nodded noncommittally. Rather than leading the army alone to fight against Zhou Yu, it would be better to join forces with Cao Cao's main force before attacking.

Danyang County, Wanling City.

"kill!"

Shocking shouts of killing spread into the city, and the darkness outside the city was like dark clouds covering the sun. Tens of thousands of Cao's troops surrounded the city on three sides and launched a fierce attack on Wanling City.

Whoosh whoosh! Arrows as dense as locusts were released and landed on the city head. Almost every gap between the city head bricks was filled with arrows. The Jiangdong soldiers on the top of the city gritted their teeth and resisted, holding up a huge shield and shrinking their bodies for fear of being hit by arrows.

Thousands of Cao's soldiers climbed up from the ladder to the top of the city first, roared angrily, raised their swords and charged forward to kill.

"Cao's army is on the city, drive them down!"

Seeing Cao Jun attacking the city, the Jiangdong soldiers guarding the city roared, pulled out their shields, raised their swords in their right hands, and charged forward fiercely, entangled with Cao Jun.

Buzz! Poof!

The sword struck the big shield, and half of his body was shaken. He put aside the shield, and suddenly slashed out with the long sword in his right hand, cutting a wound on the Cao soldier on the opposite side.

Jiangdong soldiers fought tooth and nail to defend the city, but their numbers were too small and completely insufficient to compete with the steady stream of Cao troops ascending to the top of the city, causing more and more casualties.

"Come on, everyone, we must protect our home!"

Fortunately, the prefect Sun Jing organized a group of young men in the city, issued them weapons and armor, and asked them to go to the city to help defend.

but

A young man wearing a cloth shirt, holding a wooden shield and a ring-headed sword in his hand, shrank.

Cao Jun on the other side cast a ferocious gaze on him.

"Organizing young people? Hehehehe."

The ferocious Cao Bing walked towards Qing Zhuang with a ferocious expression and sneered. Every time Cao Bing took a step, Qing Zhuang took a step back in fear.

Qing Zhuang kept retreating, and suddenly his heel was blocked. When he looked back, he saw that it was the corpse of a Jiangdong soldier. He had no way to retreat.

"Boy, suffer death!"

Cao Bing shouted, suddenly jumped forward, and slashed out the long sword in his hand.

A sharp flash of sword light flashed from Qing Zhuang's eyes, and he was stunned, as he was about to die under this sword.

"ah!"

"snort!"

Cao Bing let out a scream, and a body that was not tall but very majestic appeared in front of Qing Zhuang.

"Boy, if you don't want to die, use a shield to block it and use a ring-headed knife to cut it, do you know?"

Jiang Qin turned around and roared, Qing Zhuang nodded in confusion.

"kill!"

After saying that, Jiang Qin directly got into Cao's army and slashed left and right with a thick-backed sword, just like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. The fierce soldiers of Cao's army were killed in front of him and blood flowed like rivers.

Qing Zhuang tightened his grip on the Huanshou knife and shouted loudly.

"kill!"

For example, this young man was lucky enough to be saved by Jiang Qin, while more young men died directly under Cao Jun's sword. They had no time to study at all. How could they be able to fight through hundreds of battles and be fierce? Where is the brave Cao Bing?

Half of the young corpses fell to the ground, with expressions of disbelief on their faces. Sun Jing looked at these young men who fell to the ground. Although she was a little heartbroken, there was nothing she could do.

Only after a real bloody battle can usable elite soldiers be born.

Under the leadership of Jiang Qin, Jiangdong soldiers fought bloody battles, and with Qing Zhuang also participating in the defense of the city, they finally managed to repulse Cao Jun's attack. However, the top of the city was already covered with corpses, and there were blood and arrows everywhere.

"Gongyi."

Panting, Jiang Qin took a sip of water and then replied: "You Tai Gong, what's wrong?"

Sun Jing's face looked a little ugly: "Gong Yi, Zhongmou ordered us to withdraw our troops."

"What? Withdraw troops?"

Jiang Qin glanced at the letter and raised his head.

"You Taigong, if our army wants to drive Cao Jun out, we can only decide the outcome in a battle!"

"All right."

That night. Jiang Qin and Sun Jing struggled to resist the fierce attack of Cao's army. However, after receiving Sun Quan's order, they slipped out of the city with more than 2,000 soldiers that day. Cao's army occupied Wanling City without bloodshed. After a short rest, they continued to attack. Wu County marched.

"The last general, Xia Houyuan, pays homage to the Prime Minister!"

"Hahaha, Miaocai, get up."

Cao Cao picked up Xia Houyuan and said with a smile: "The expedition across the sea, the attack of thousands of miles, the first success in pacifying Jiangdong this time was Miaocai."

"The general will not dare to take the credit. Thanks to the prime minister's great talent, gentlemen, you have formulated the strategy. How can Yuan dare to take the credit?" Xia Houyuan said modestly.

"Hahaha, okay, let's go into the city."

Cao Cao personally took Xia Houyuan's hand and walked into Wu County.

After sitting down, Cao Cao asked: "So, after Zhou Yu led his army to reinforce Sun Quan, he retreated south again?"

"Yes."

Cheng Yu said in confusion: "The south of Wu County is Kuaiji County, which has a sparse population. It is impossible for Sun Quan to support tens of thousands of troops with Kuaiji County."

"I heard that the Shanyue people in Kuaiji County rebelled before?"

Cao Cao asked: "Does Zhou Yu want to join the Jiangdong Army that suppressed the rebellion in Kuaiji County before and then fight to the death with our army?"

"It's not impossible." Cheng Yu nodded.

Xia Houyuan asked for instructions: "Prime Minister, do our troops want to pursue you?"

"Of course we have to pursue him!"

Cao Cao said proudly: "No matter what Zhou Yu's plan is, our army has only one plan!"
