Chapter 1233: Cleaning
Borrow strength, target Death Knight!
Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath and stood behind Rage Claw Broad. In his eyes, only the city gate.
Bai Xiaowen turned a blind eye to the arrows flying towards the city.
Even if he was hurt by a few arrows, it would only add some extra strength to Bai Xiaowen's severe pain potential.
As for life-threatening, it's not.
Bai Xiaowen's bad luck bracelet on his left wrist kept reminding him.
Finally, Bai Xiaowen rushed to the gate of Xudu City, only ten meters away from the moat. The hussars behind them also began to ride their horses, trotting forward to follow.
Grass Flow Ancient Martial Arts Mystery - Super Big Snake!
A huge wave of flames surged out, engulfing the city gate of Xudu in front of them.
Since Bai Xiaowen's strength value is super high at this time, it has already broken a hundred, so the impact force added by the big snake is extremely amazing! It is no less powerful than a battering hammer.
Boom!
The two doors suddenly collapsed.
However, the expected flat streets were not seen.
Behind the collapsed city gate of Xudu, thick sandbags of earth and stone appeared unexpectedly.
"Retreat!"
Bai Xiaowen urgently ordered.
On the city wall, Xu Du's defenders laughed, cursing and shooting arrows.
Fortunately, the hussars hadn't started to accelerate yet, and they all reined in their horses and returned. After eating the arrows on the city wall, there were only a few sporadic losses.
But... It's a bad start!
Bai Xiaowen activated the auspicious cloud shield and finally withdrew it.
"What's going on... It seems that Xu Du is already prepared?" Li Shuyi said depressingly.
"Did the Awakened Ones warn us about our attack on Xudu?" Cecilia said.
Qiao Rui shook her head: "If the Awakened Gods are really here, the best way for them to 'export' us is to pretend not to know, let our first troops enter the city, then close the city gates, and send our troops out of the country. Cut it into two pieces, and then assist the defenders in strangling one of them."
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly and said, "Yes, there shouldn't be any interference from the awakened people here, it's simply Xun himself's vigilance."
Seeing the eyes of his teammates cast over, Bai Xiaowen said slowly:
"Our whereabouts should have been exposed at Yanling Pass."
"How could it be? We were obviously very cautious, and we didn't let the flames ignite." Li Shuyi said.
Bai Xiaowen said: "Yanling Pass is the barrier of Xudu. If Xun can design two generals to defend, one light and one dark, he can design other methods! After all, it is not very reassuring to pin your hopes on a beacon tower.
"Perhaps Xun also devised other means of warning, maybe when Deng Tong or Zhou Ding died, Xu had some way to get news?
"After all, this is the Three Kingdoms of the Spirit World, and there is such a supernatural power as Taoism, so this kind of warning method is not unusual.
After learning the news of the death of Yanling Gatekeeper, Xun immediately ordered to prepare for the battle, and sealed the city gate with sandbags prepared in advance... This is also suitable in terms of time. "
Qiao Rui said: "It's pointless to discuss why it was exposed now. The point is how to deal with it now."
Bai Xiaowen took a breath and said, "There is no way. The cavalry attacked the city without any advantage. This is the next strategy. Now that Xu Du is prepared, there is no way to attack directly, so he can only change his strategy."
"Wait for the 20,000 Youzhou Army led by Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan to arrive." Li Shuyi said knowingly.
Bai Xiaowen nodded: "That's the backup insurance we prepared, and it's time to use it."
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said again:
"We arrived at Xudu ahead of schedule. Although we couldn't break through the city, it wasn't meaningless! Let me say two things now. This is what we should do next, before the Youzhou Army arrives.
"First, destroy the garrison guards in the suburbs of Xudu and kill the garrison soldiers.
"Second, seal the four gates of Xudu and strictly isolate internal and external news.
"Third, the day and night raids made Xu Du's defenders restless!"
Bai Xiaowen's mentality changed quickly.
Originally, the hussars were the main force in the surprise attack on Xudu.
Now, the enemy is on guard, the plan is frustrated, and the depression is meaningless.
You should immediately change your mind and use the hussars who arrived earlier as the vanguard!
Do well what the vanguard troops can and should do, and prepare for the storm after the arrival of the 20,000 troops in Youzhou.
Qiao Rui reminded: "We try our best to block the news, but the news that Xudu has been invaded will inevitably spread. Yingchuan and even the remaining troops in Yuzhou will come to rescue you. How long will Jiaochu be here?"
"Estimate, it's about two days later than us."
Bai Xiaowen got up and said: "Go, I will mark the directions around Xudu to everyone. You each lead a hundred cavalry and divide the guards; I will lead the remaining 400 cavalry to clean up the farm guards. The news of Xudu, As long as it can be blocked, it will be blocked for as long as possible!"
...
Bai Xiaowen led the winged cavalry in the outskirts of Xudu, walking around the city, seeing houses demolished, let alone enemies.
What needs to be explained is that those killed in Tuntianwei were not ordinary people, but old and weak soldiers sent by Cao Cao to Tuntian.
The soldiers in the field were unlucky, but the defenders on the battlements of Xudu did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Among them, there are also elite-level corporal leaders and special leaders, but none of them are Bai Xiaowen's all-in-one enemy.
There are also more clever soldiers in the field, taking advantage of the dawn and before it is bright, they escape secretly. These cunning veterans in the farm did not flee to Xudu, but to other counties in Yingchuan!
Their calculations were very shrewd. If they fled to Xudu, it would be impossible for Xu to open the city, but a dead end. Fleeing to other counties, you can also convey news, call for reinforcements, and maybe you can get a lot of rewards.
It's a pity that Bai Xiaowen made the deployment one step ahead of time.
Not long after, news came from teammates on all paths that they had captured varying numbers of soldiers in the field, and when they carried out Bai Xiaowen's order to keep no prisoners, there was no room for mercy.
Bai Xiaowen led four hundred winged cavalry to speed up the cleaning progress.
Finally, at the last garrison guard, a big fish was caught.
Well, it's just a big fish in relative terms: the "Dian Nong Zhonglang General" appointed by Cao Cao is named Ren Jun.
Ren Jun was in charge of the transportation of grain and grass logistics at Guandu. This time he went back to Xudu to urge the grain, and went back to his family's one-acre and three-point farm to take a break and inspect it by the way.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen took a look with his insights. Ren Jun was not a fighting leader, but an auxiliary one. He was not a big threat. He also had logistics skills such as farmland and resources, which could be regarded as a talent.
"You have special talents, so it's a pity to kill them. I am Yuan Xi, the governor of Youzhou. This time I lead an army here, and I will destroy Xudu in a few days. Cao's bandits will be wiped out in the palm of my hand. Let me ask you, are you willing to surrender? "Bai Xiaowen made an exception and gave Ren Jun a chance.
