He stayed in Zhiyang for a short rest, and then he was loyal to Dong Zhao, a talented man.

Yuan Yao was filled with joy for a moment.

But this is just a small episode!

By the time of sunset, the heat has declined.

Yuan Yao immediately rushed to continue running along Yao Mountain.

Now not only Yuan Jun is going here with all his might.

It is only said that Cao Cao and his subsequent main force arrived at Guangcheng Pass. He heard that Xiahou Yuan had led his troops south first and after he got the defense line that was stepping up to attack Yaoshan.

It was also a sudden moment that his thoughts arose.

Then he immediately summoned someone to start an military discussion.

At the parliament, Cao Cao and everyone looked closely at the map hanging in the screen with anxious eyes.

Under discussion among the counselors.

They naturally would not be confused about how important the terrain of Yaoshan was to guide Nanyang.

After receiving this battle report, Cao Cao did not hesitate at all. He immediately sent the crowd without stopping, left Guangcheng Pass, and walked straight along Yao Mountain to support Xiahou Yuan's troops.

In an attempt to conquer the Yaoshan defense line as soon as possible to prevent the main force of the Yuan family from entering.

As the goals between the two armies were surprisingly consistent at this time~

Looking down at the overall situation, you will find that the main troops of Yuan and Cao quickly approached Yaoshan.

And this ordinary mountain also quickly became the focus of the two armies.

Who can laugh to the end?

...

In the Yao Mountain.

At this moment, the main forces of both sides have not gathered here, but the intensity of the war is not affected at all.

It was said that after launching several tentative offensives and thoroughly finding out that the size of Yuan's army was not large, Xiahou Yuan also made up his mind to make a decision.

We must seize the Yaoshan defense line before the main force arrives.

Therefore, in the following offensive, one wave after another, the battle situation quickly moved towards a white-hot stage.

But even so!

How could Zhou Cang easily abandon the Yaoshan defense line?

Even though the enemy was large and we were few, he still stubbornly divided his subordinates into more than ten, and each used the unique terrain of Yaoshan to resist the enemy.

It is precisely because of the steep terrain that the Cao army was unable to capture this for a long time!

Therefore, the mountain paths in the area were too rugged and steep, and there were not many soldiers who could be used to siege the city at a time. Moreover, Yuan's army was divided into more than ten units, each of which counterattacked and raided from different directions.

This also caused a slight stalemate in the battle.

A mountainous area.

The main general Zhou Cang was stationed here with a unit himself, and he had just repelled another attack from Cao's army.

But his eyes did not show a look of joy, but a very sad look.

It is probably because the size of his soldiers is really different from that of the enemy.

After every attack by Cao's army, our side will suffer considerable losses.

If this continues, even if Cao's army relies on its consumption tactics, it will eventually break the Yaoshan defense line.

He looked at the corpses lying on the mountain road below, and his eyes were inexplicably sad.

Most of these soldiers who died were followed when they became bandits.

Now, one sergeant after another was killed.

How could people who are loyal to Zhou Cang feel good?

Then, he couldn't help but summoned the scout and said anxiously: "I'm going to order you to quickly turn back south again and go to find the main force sent by the young master."

"Just say: If reinforcements don't arrive, our troops may no longer exist!"

This speech ended.

Zhou Cang's expression suddenly became extremely serious.

He had already made a vague decision in his heart.

Swear to live and die with Yaoshan Defense Line!

Even without birth, it will not make the Cao army feel better.

Zhou Cang agreed firmly.

After arranging the scout, he couldn't help but think of the trust of the young master Yuan Yao in him.

Although his military post has not changed much since his resignation.

But Zhou Cang could feel that this was not targeting him, and the young master Yuan Yao did not suppress him because of his Yellow Turban background. On the contrary, he boldly appointed him and treated him equally!

How lucky is this for those who have been thieves?

The so-called "A gentleman dies for his confidant."

Now, it is naturally time to be loyal to Yuan.

But just as the scout left, he quickly turned back.

Seeing this, Zhou Cang suddenly felt suspicious and asked, "Why did you turn back again?"

Hearing this, the scout immediately bowed and replied:

"General Qi reported to you, shortly after leaving Yaoshan, the villain met the scout sent by the young master..."

"Oh? Can the young master have any instructions?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Cangdun looked moved and he hurriedly asked.

"Report to General, the young master has led the elite cavalry to gallop here first. He ordered the general to guard against the Yaoshan defense line to wait for his arrival."

A piece of words slowly fell.

The scout quickly bowed and explained the situation.

When Zhou Cang heard about this military situation, he seemed to be full of fierce ambitions.

So he immediately encouraged the morale and morale of the soldiers under his command.

When the soldiers of all departments heard that their young master had arrived in advance, the fatigue and loss almost disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, there were waves of roars.

The morale of the army was greatly boosted.

With the news of reinforcements, it was naturally a heart-warming agent for the Yaoshan garrison at this moment.

Next, Cao's army continued to attack.

But what surprised Xiahou Yuan was that not only did Yuan Jun not fight the trapped beasts, but his back was much more powerful than his previous offensives...

Seeing this, Xiahou Yuan at the foot of the mountain waved his hand and looked at the scene carefully, and couldn't help but become more and more confused, and then said:

"Mancheng, what seems to be something wrong with this branch?"

Upon hearing this, Li Dian from the side also looked closely and said deeply: "Well, General Xiahou said so much. According to common sense, the enemy's troops are not large in size, and now they are being attacked by our army in a steady stream of attacks."

"Even though the enemy's fighting will is fierce, it is still extremely difficult to compete with our army."

"At this moment, the morale of the army should gradually decline, and the soldiers are not determined to fight!"

"Why is the resistance gradually increasing?"

These words were gone.

For a moment, Li Dian and Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but look at each other, and they couldn't figure it out!

This...what is going on?

After thinking for a long time, Xiahou Yuan seemed to have thought of something, so he couldn't help but say, "Can it be that the enemy reinforcements came from...?"

After hearing this, Li Dian agreed with the comments.

But the next second he also had new doubts and said:

"But it seems wrong. From the Nanyang Basin to Yaoshan, the distance is far further than the southward going to Guangcheng Pass!"

"According to common sense, the lord should lead the main force to arrive first."

"Why did the enemy come first?"

As soon as this statement was spoken, Li Dian slowly raised his confusion.

The two were talking slowly.
To be continued...
