Chapter 775: Frontal Assault

"Everyone, what do you think of Yanmen City?"

Zhao Yun sat on the main seat of the camp tent and said with a majestic face. Although Yuan Chang is the boss of Youzhou, but now that Zhao Yun is the commander of the Battle of Bingzhou, he will sit on the sidelines and will not take the lead, otherwise, how can Zhao Yun establish his prestige?

After Li Yun tested the defense of Yanmen City, Zhao Yun directly ordered the army to retreat for twenty miles, and did not rush to attack the city. Previously, other cities in Yanmen County surrendered without a fight, but now there is resistance in Yanmen City, which seems to be a little inconsistent with the lofty style, so it is necessary to discuss.

"If it is not bad as expected, Yanmen City has changed hands, and the person who is in charge is by no means lofty. ”

As the chief military advisor and political commissar of the army, although Guo Jia has a lazy temperament, he will not slack off when it comes to business. According to the news from the previous detailed work, Gao Yuan was a greedy person who was afraid of death, and was as timid as a mouse, how could he dare to fight them? And the reaction of the other cities in Yanmen County to surrender without a fight also indirectly reflected Gao Yuan's personality, so the abnormality of Yanmen City can only show that the master in the city has changed.

"I think that Political Commissar Guo is right, and I will also order the city to look for opportunities to pass the news, and then I will know the reason!"

Zhao Yun nodded approvingly, no one doubted Guo Jia's talent. Of course, there is no need to worry about what the reason is, as early as when he and Cao Cao were preparing to jointly attack Yuan Shao, Youzhou had already taken corresponding measures, and placed detailed works in important places in Bingzhou and Jizhou, at that time, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had not yet expressed their intentions to Yuan Shao, and various occupations such as disguised as homeless people or merchants and mixed into the city naturally did not attract attention. After Yuan Chang and Cao Cao started a war against Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao ordered Jizhou, Qingzhou and Bingzhou to strengthen inspections, and any unfamiliar faces would be strictly scrutinized, just to prevent the fine work from getting in, and Yuan Chang's manpower was mixed in before, so naturally he would not be subjected to too strict scrutiny. Come to think of it, Cao Cao and Yuan Chang's approach should be the same, after all, Cao Cao is not an ordinary overlord, he must have been prepared.

"Report, there is news in Commander Zhao City!"

When Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and others were still discussing, there were guards outside the tent who came to report the news, obviously the details in the city had already sent the news.

"Sure enough!"

After Zhao Yun read the news, he suddenly realized that, as Guo Jia predicted, Yanmen City had changed its owner. The original Yanmen County Taishou Gao Yuan was killed by the secret guard Zhang Li arranged by Yuan Shao, and seized the military power of Yanmen City, and the entire Yanmen City showed an attitude of fighting to the death with Youzhou.

"Yuan Shao really can't be underestimated, it is rumored that he has arranged secret guards under the forces under his control, just to prevent this from happening. If you look at it in this way, the next battle will not be easy. ”

Zhao Yun frowned and said helplessly.

A person like Gao Yuan, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, is naturally everyone's favorite opponent, and who doesn't like this kind of good thing by exchanging the smallest loss for the greatest gain? It's just that if each county has a secret guard arranged by Yuan Shao, it will not be so easy. After all, the county guards and county commanders have no intention of resisting, and the secret guards arranged by Yuan Shao will kill the other party, and then seize the military power to confront them, and this kind of person will inevitably do his best to resist.

"Yuan Shao can empty gloves and white wolves, and he can win Jizhou from Han Fu without paying anything, so naturally it will not be a simple role. However, it is not too much to pay attention to. Although Yuan Shao's move of installing a secret guard can ensure the control of the city, it will naturally cause some backlash, after all, the secret guard is hiding in the shadows like a rat and cannot show his identity, this kind of thing is not something that everyone is willing to accept. Therefore, this kind of practice is just a little Doyle, it is not worth mentioning, and it is the master who has full power to let go like the chairman of the committee!"

"Ahem!"

At the meeting, tea is naturally indispensable, and many people are drinking tea at the moment, and after listening to Guo Jia's words, they are so hung that they are choked. Guo Jia's last sentence seemed to be praising Yuan Chang, but who couldn't tell that he was mocking Yuan Chang for being like a shopkeeper, simply put, he was lazy. Although everyone knows it, but if you say it so blatantly, you can only do it if you think about it, of course, Guo Jia has ridiculed Yuan Chang a lot, and everyone is not surprised.

"Uh-huh!"

Yuan Chang didn't seem to hear the meaning of Guo Jia's words, and nodded with a look of approval, Guo Jia saw this, he sighed in his heart, and always felt that he had dug a pit for himself, only to hear Yuan Chang continue: "What Political Commissar Guo said is good, I have always pursued people to make the best use of their talents and achieve the Ming Lord that everyone expects in their hearts." With your talents, it is clear that you have not yet fully developed your abilities. Therefore, in the future, I will give you more places to display your talents, especially Political Commissar Guo, who needs more space to show himself. I believe that with everyone's efforts, we will be able to do better!"

Guo Jia felt as if his back had been pierced by the cold light, and he didn't need to look to know what everyone's eyes were like at the moment. Yuan Chang is a cheater, he just teased, and as a result, Yuan Chang found an opportunity to dump the pot at them. Yuan Chang was originally a lazy character, and when he went back, he would definitely take the opportunity to throw all the tasks to them, although the more power in his hands, the more people would naturally like it. However, Guo Jia and others, who are more and more familiar with the new system, have understood that the greater the power in their hands, the greater the responsibility they need to bear, and the greater the corresponding pressure. You don't have to think about it to know that after you go back, everyone knows that because of his words, they have been put under more pressure, Guo Jia shuddered a little when he thought about that scene.

"Ahem!"

With a dry cough, Guo Jia said decisively: "The chairman of the committee has shown us the demeanor of the Ming Lord, and our spirit has been sublimated. Personally, I feel that the chairman of the NPC National Committee should set an example in the future and take the lead with more concrete actions. Moreover, we all feel that our talents are limited, and we need the leadership of the chairman to make us stronger and more brilliant!"

"Political Commissar Guo is right!"

"It's extreme, it's extreme!"

lest Yuan Chang really dump the pot on them, the others listened to Guo Jia's words and immediately responded, although it was a happy thing to have enough rights. However, when they met a boss like Yuan Chang, they also felt very desperate, and for the sake of their own happiness, they still hurried to stop Yuan Chang's thoughts.

"Alas, it seems that you still can't do it without me! Since everyone has asked so strongly, then I will reluctantly continue to serve as a guiding light for everyone, leading everyone forward. However, you also have to work hard, you can't always expect it to be not, after all, I am also a human being, not a god, and there is always something that cannot be done. ”

"Yes, yes, the chairman is right, we will work hard!"

"Study hard and make progress every day!"

Everyone is accustomed to Yuan Chang's shamelessness, and in order to stop Yuan Chang's thoughts, at this time, all kinds of nice words are naturally thrown out as if they don't want money.

Of course, it was just a joke, so I was relaxed.

Zhao Yun's face was straight, he looked at Guo Jia and Xu Shu and asked, "Political Commissar Guo, Political Commissar Xu, how do you think you should take Yanmen City?"

Guo Jia didn't answer, and looked at Xu Shu with a slight smile. Previously, Xu Shu had stepped into the ranks of top strategists after some realization, and in this battle of merging states, Guo Jia was not prepared to perform too much, but handed over the opportunity to Xu Shu, so that Xu Shu could gain experience and stabilize the status of top strategists.

Xu Shu obviously understood this, and his chin gestured, and then said: "Commander Zhao, originally captured Yanmen City, you can take it with a plan. Xizuo had already dug a tunnel in the city, and it was only easy to send elites to join forces with the outside through the tunnel, and it was only a matter of easy to take Yanmen City. However, wars have always been won by righteousness, but blindly using tactics to win, this will only make soldiers lose their bloodiness and lose their enterprising spirit in the face of real wars. In addition, Yanmen City is not a male city, and the city walls are not as tall and strong, so that the soldiers can attack strongly, first, to hone the soldiers, and secondly, to show the strength of our Youzhou soldiers, in the next battle, to hit the enemy's morale and reduce their resistance. ”

Xu Shu expressed it very clearly and clearly, Zhao Yun nodded frequently, but he did not immediately take Xu Shu's plan, looked at Yuan Chang and Guo Jia, and asked, "What do the chairman and political commissar Guo think?"

"Political Commissar Xu is very good, it should be so!"

"Right!"

As Xu Shu said, using tactics to win victory is just a small road, although it can reduce the casualties of the soldiers, but it will make the soldiers less bloody and lose their enterprising spirit, and in the long run, it will obviously do more harm than good. Using intrigue and trickery is a small way after all, and it is not as good as a dignified victory to win people's hearts.

Just like the various battles written in the Three Kingdoms, such as the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao burned the grain and grass of Wuchao, and then Yuan Shao was defeated; In the face of absolute strength, what is the use of stratagem? The main reason why this is so is that Luo Guanzhong is not to show the picture of war, after all, it is a romance, and it is to express that he thinks Liu Bei is orthodox and that all kinds of clever schemes are wonderful. In addition, in World War II, when the Chinese and Japanese invaders were in a positional war, and you threw hundreds of thousands of soldiers back and forth and suffered heavy casualties, what was the role of the strategy during this period? If it were not for the Chinese soldiers who fought one after another and resisted the Japanese attack from the front, how could they maintain the unity of the country and protect the independence of the nation?

Therefore, Yuan Chang naturally would not oppose Xu Shu's proposal, and it is still necessary to be tough and tough.

Then, Zhao Yun's gaze swept over the other people present, and they all got the same answer from their eyes, obviously, everyone thought that what Xu Shu said was right.

"Good!"

Zhao Yungao shouted, stood up, and ordered: "In this case, order all armies to bury pots and cook tomorrow and attack the city at the end of the day, and there must be no mistakes, and those who violate the order will be engaged in military law!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Zhao Yun's order was conveyed to the whole army, and all the soldiers were gearing up and preparing to do a big job. There is no shortage of soldiers in Youzhou, so those who can enter the army are carefully selected elites, and I dare not say that everyone, at least most of them are willing to accept the war and will not have the slightest fear.

The next day, the soldiers in the camp got up from their beds, quickly dressed and armoured, and returned to their ranks, and after breakfast, they waited quietly for the time to attack the city.

"Knock knock!"

"Woooooo

As soon as the hour arrived, the earth-shattering drums and horns sounded, and the army, which had already lined up in formation, slowly advanced towards Yanmen City, and all kinds of siege equipment were also pushed to the foot of Yanmen City with the team.

"Woooooo

The horn on the city wall also sounded, obviously Yanmen City was also paying attention to the movement of Youzhou soldiers and horses, and at this time, seeing the Youzhou army approaching, he immediately warned him. Zhang Li was also resting on the city wall last night, and when he heard the sound of drums at this moment, he immediately took his position, and when he saw the actions of the Youzhou army under the city, he understood that the other party was preparing for a real siege, not a temptation like yesterday.

"All the soldiers are in place, arrows, sasswood, rolling stones, and fire oil are ready!"

"The overseer team is in place, but there are those who are afraid of the enemy and retreat, and they will not be forgiven!"

The tension on the city wall is preparing, and the Youzhou army under the city is also in full swing. After a short time, the formation was already arranged, although the soldiers in the city did not dare to go out of the city to fight, but it was still necessary to be fully prepared just in case of emergency, so that there would be no mistakes.

"The 1st Infantry Division is ready to storm the city!"

Zhao Yun, as the first commander of Youzhou, was also the only commander under Yuan Chang before Yuan Chang seized other territories, and he could be said to be the highest-ranking boss in the army. Therefore, at present, the soldiers and horses in Youzhou can be said to be under the command of Zhao Yun, and the establishment of the ten armies in Youzhou is under the control of Zhao Yun. Of course, after the capture of Bingzhou and Jizhou, this situation will naturally change, and there will undoubtedly be two commanders again, and Zhao Yun's command will shrink accordingly. However, Zhao Yun obviously doesn't care about this.

"All the soldiers come forward with me and let the enemy see the demeanor of our first division!"

Huang Sheng, the commander of the first division, was a veteran in his forties, and his military strength was not first-class but he was also very close; in addition, he used to be a scholar, and when the chaos in the DPRK and China was revealed, he had a premonition that the world would soon be in chaos, so he threw his pen into Rong. The team that joined was the army of Gongsun Chan in the early days, thinking that it was to fight with other races.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The soldiers of the first division roared loudly, which showed the strength of morale, and also showed the talent of Huang Sheng to lead the troops. From a scholar, it is obviously not easy to do this step. In addition, it is worth mentioning that Li Yun, who was in the first group, was the first to be discovered by Huang Sheng, and then recommended to Zhao Yun, which shows that Huang Sheng is not an intolerable Shangguan, it can also be said that Li Yun is lucky, when he meets such a Shangguan, otherwise, his talent may not be able to be brought into play.
