The stalemate of the Northern War is just a temporary phenomenon. Everyone knows that behind the stalemate, there is often a storm brewing behind the stalemate, just like the darkness before dawn and the tranquility before the storm.

The war machines of the three princes behind the front were running at high speed, and Cao Cao's soldiers and materials were continuously transporting to the north and east. The rural towns around the front had become ghost domains, but the cities were filled with people, and the city walls and defensive facilities were vigorously constructed.

The entire Central Plains is filled with a strong smell of war. Huainan and Qiao County, which have been calm for many years, are no longer as peaceful as before.

Huang Xu led the cavalry and kept running slowly. The four fields were very quiet. Apart from the sound of horse hooves rumbling by the cavalry, there seemed to be no other sound in the world. This area is close to the border of Xuzhou, and the people here have already run cleanly. Even if they want to stay, the Cao army will not let you stay, otherwise what is a strong wall and clear field!

From the time of thinking to Fu Li, on the way, he could see the brave alien troops and wild monsters, and could hardly see the moving things. Therefore, Huang Xu had the illusion that he felt that the surroundings were terrible and that Huang Xu, who was uncomfortable, ordered the expansion of the scout range and increased the frequency. The result was that he was just suspicious.

Fu Li was watching. According to the scout's report, there was no abnormality around Fu Li. A small group of enemy scout cavalry and scout troops were active outside the city, and there was no abnormality in the north and west directions of the city.

But Huang Xu was still very careful and arrived ten miles outside Fuli City. Huang Xu gathered troops to repair it, restored the horse's horse's power, and penetrated the scout behind Fuli.

Although there was still no problem with the scout's reward, Huang Xu was still not in a hurry to approach Fu Li, and he did not look like he wanted to attack the city.

Huang Xu's calmness made Li Tong, who was guarding the city, feel a little anxious. It was because Li Tong had carefully arranged something outside the city and was waiting for Huang Xu to arrive. Not to mention defeating Huang Xu, at least he would give Huang Xu a warning, so that the guys in Youzhou knew that the people in the Central Plains were not that easy to mess with.

Seeing Huang Xu slowly and carefully investigated everywhere, Li Tong couldn't help but feel his heart. If Huang Xu discovered an ambush outside the city, Li Tong would be stunned. Fortunately, he had done enough preparations and the troops outside the city were hiding very well. Huang Xu's scouts passed through the small town hidden by the troops several times but did not find any troops hidden in it.

Although Li Tong let go of his worries a little, Huang Xu's delay in attack made Li Tong feel overwhelmed. If this continues, the hidden troops will suffer. If Huang Xu continues to delay, will the Yiren troops come up? These Yiren are different from Huang Xu's scouts. They like to burrow around in the empty town and loot any valuable things. It is hard to say whether their troops can still be hidden.

Just as Li Tong was uneasy, Huang Xu's troops moved, but Huang Xu did not attack the city, but passed around the city. Li Tong was stunned. What does this mean? Didn't it be agreed to attack the city? Why did he pass around the city? Isn't Huang Xu's target not Fu Li? But if he didn't take Fu Li, Huang Xu would not dare to go deep into Qiao County? The cities behind were also strong, cleared and waited for the battle. Huang Xu could not get any supplies at all. At that time, he might even be surrounded and annihilated in Qiao County. Huang Xu wouldn't be so stupid, right?

Huang Xu quickly told Li Tong about his choice. Huang Xu did not really plan to bypass Fu Li's plan to raid deep in Qiao County, but instead surrounded Fu Li. Li Tong secretly called Huang Xu a cunning, but he didn't know that Huang Xu just followed the battlefield rules and must clear the surroundings of the city before siegeing the city, and was completely familiar with the situation within twenty miles of Fangyuan.

When Huang Xu turned around, it was already late. Huang Xu led his troops to find an empty town to prepare for the camp. Who knew whether Huang Xu could choose or not, so he happened to choose the town where Li Tong ambushed the ambush. This time he had fun!

The scouts had just walked around the town and confirmed that there was no sign of movement and left. This time they had to camp, so they had to check carefully to prevent any insidious traps set by the enemy, and even the ground and underground. This was clearly stipulated in the marching regulations, and Huang Xu dared not not to implement them.

After this search, the problem was immediately discovered. Huang Xu's large army had not entered the town at all. The scout had discovered the enemy's hidden troops and immediately issued a warning. Huang Xu figured out the situation and immediately surrounded the town with cavalry. Li Tong was also ambushing the cavalry here, with a small number of cavalry, only four thousand. He dug an underground military hiding hole in the town in advance, and even hid the war horses.

When he was discovered at this time, it was not easy for the hidden troops to come out from the relatively narrow exit of the Tibetan military cave. Huang Xu discovered this problem and personally blocked it with cavalry in front to prevent the opponent's cavalry from rushing up. He quickly arranged heavy crossbow soldiers on both sides, completely blocking the door of these poor ambushers.

Li Tong's ambush struggled for a while, and finally found that this was an action that was hopeless. Moreover, Huang Xu also asked someone to shout outside that if they did not surrender, they would burn it with tinea oil. In desperation, the remaining more than 3,000 cavalry had to surrender. Huang Xu got thousands of prisoners and thousands of war horses in vain, and his eyes narrowed when he smiled.

However, the scouts responsible for inspecting the town were in trouble. All of their military achievements were confiscated this time, and they were punished for cleaning the stables for ten days.

Li Tong in the city was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. All the plans to deal with Huang Xu were solved by Huang Xu by accident. Speaking of which, Li Tong's plan was still good. If Huang Xu did not find out, at night, these ambushers suddenly attacked and might be able to catch Huang Xu off guard! If you really want to blame him, you can only blame the gods for helping Huang Xu.

Li Tong went down the city wall depressedly and went back to think about his past. Besides, Huang Xu occupied the town and arranged troops to set up camp. Huang Xu issued a mission in the town to summon the Yi Ren troops and defeated Li Tong's backhand arranged outside the city. Huang Xu wanted to try to raid Fu Licheng at night to see if he could take advantage of the enemy's unfamiliar way of fighting against the opponent.

................

From the end of Shen Shi, Huang Xu's cavalry began to be dispatched. Cavalry sieges did have the advantage at night, and Li Tong was also inexperienced. If he first caught traps where the cavalry were active outside the city, or simply dug the ground to pieces, he would not be so harassed by the enemy's cavalry at night.

This harassing war using the darkness is a trick used by the Youzhou army. In fact, Pengcheng was broken like this. Li Tong was not unaware of this situation, but he wanted Huang Xu to attack the city before, so he deliberately did not take these precautions. Who would have thought that now it has become a rope he put on himself.

When he heard a large number of enemy cavalry were active outside the city, Li Tong, who had just returned to the command center, quickly came to the city wall in a neat manner. Then he discovered in pain that the enemy cavalry took advantage of the night and light problems and kept flashing in the darkness. After splashing a rain of arrows, they quickly disappeared into the darkness, which made the soldiers guarding the city very depressed. It was really uncomfortable to be beaten so passively.

The attack lasted for a while, and it seemed that the defenders on the city were on high alert and had no choice but to take advantage of it. Huang Xu's troops slowly left. As the sound of hooves disappeared, the heavy night returned to quiet, and the defenders on the city breathed a sigh of relief.

But within half an hour, Huang Xu's cavalry came again, and then Huang Xu's cavalry kept coming and going, returning, making Li Tong and the troops guarding the city enjoyed a lot. Every time, they used cavalry to use night to attack the three defense lines in the east, south and west, and they only used crossbows to attack, and never approached the city walls.

This action gradually paralyzed the defenders on the city. In the early morning, Huang Xu suddenly attacked the northern city wall that had never attacked. Before that, the Yiren who had taken the mission had quietly penetrated into the vicinity of the city wall. In conjunction with Huang Xu's assault, the Yiren suddenly launched an attack. Several rounds of skilled volleys immediately caused heavy losses to the defenders on the city wall.

Huang Xu took the opportunity to climb the city. Huang Xu, who was in the lead, rushed to the top of the city first. Then his guards followed up to expand the results of the battle. The cavalry and the alien troops focused on blocking both ends. When Li Tong arrived in a hurry, the north gate had fallen. Huang Xu occupied the north gate and was not in a hurry to advance into the city. Instead, he guarded the north gate and arranged a sniper team in a favorable position, and then set up a catapult position outside the city, which in turn lured Li Tong to attack.

Li Tong started not to investigate. After attacking a few times, he realized something was wrong. The troops were not in good shape. There were also opponents' sniper troops on the commanding heights, which specifically shot and killed grassroots generals. After attacking several times, Li Tong suffered heavy losses and did not dare to continue attacking. What's even more pitiful is that Li Tong did not dare to retreat. The opponent was a cavalry. If he chose to retreat, he would definitely be chased by the cavalry, and the result might be even worse.

Li Tong, who was still full of confidence during the day, is now a little crazy. Why is this young Huang Xu so difficult? He deserves to be the guy who defeated Xiahou Yuan. After thinking about it, Li Tong finally decided not to retreat, and even if he fights to the last person, he cannot retreat.

However, this decision is not a good idea. After dawn, street fighting began, with enough numbers and more and more support from Yi Ren. In addition, the Youzhou army's continuous improvement of unique and effective street fighting technology on the battlefield in Yingzhou made Li Tong suffer a lot. No matter what Li Tong uses, the enemy will soon make effective responses and easily crack the methods he had figured out, which made Li Tong completely desperate.
