After exterminating Zhu Fu's men and horses outside Hepu City, Liu Zheng didn't even stay here too long.

Although he defeated Zhu Fu's army, he was not able to slaughter all of Zhu Fu's men and horses, and many people still escaped from the camp by night.

It is conservatively estimated that there are at least three or four thousand people who have fled, and this part of the people, in case there is Zhang Ying's people, will spread the news that Zhu Fu has been defeated and died to Zhang Ying's ears.

Zhang Ying, who went to Yulin's army to deal with Gan Ning, was afraid that he would also give up attacking Gan Ning and fled from Jiaozhou instead.

Therefore, in order to prevent Zhang Ying from being prepared in advance, Liu Zheng planned to pretend to be Zhu Fu's person and hit Zhang Ying by surprise.

By night, Liu Zheng only left thousands of people, guarding the side of Hepu City, and ordered the Zhou Dynasty to be responsible for guarding Hepu, so he took Xu Huang and Zhou Cang, as well as 15,000 soldiers and horses, and marched quickly from this Hepu City to the position of Yulin County.

The distance from Hepu County to Yulin County is actually not very far, but because it is a night march, and Liu Zheng is not very familiar with this area, he walks a little slowly.

When he was about to arrive at Yulin County, Liu Zhengcai let the army rest for a while, and at the same time asked Shiwu and Shihui's people to go to Zhang Ying's troops in advance to see if Zhang Ying already knew the news that Zhu Fu and others had been killed.

After the people sent out did not send back any bad news, Liu Zheng let the army continue to advance towards Zhang Yingbu.

In less than two days, Liu Zheng's army was not far from Zhang Yingjun.

At this time, Zhang Yingjun had just arrived outside the city of Yulin County, and planned to rely on his 30,000 soldiers and horses to storm the county seat of Yulin County.

In the county town, Gan Ning let his 10,000 troops guard Yulin County, wanting to have a good fight with Zhang Ying's people, but Zhang Ying was not in a hurry to attack at this time.

The camp of Zhang Yingjun.

"Yu Mi, Chen Heng, how are the soldiers under your command preparing, are you sure that you will take down this county town?"

When Zhang Ying led his 30,000 soldiers to the city of Yulin County, he had actually launched a round of small-scale attacks on the city gate.

However, thousands of soldiers went to attack the city, but they did not break the city gate as easily as he had hoped.

On the contrary, he was strongly defended by the soldiers in the city, and he was defeated without taking any advantage.

Therefore, Zhang Ying ordered people to retreat the men and horses besieging the city, and discussed how to attack this Yulin county city.

And Yu Mi and Chen Heng are Zhang Ying's generals and are deeply trusted by Zhang Ying.

"My lord, the defender in the county town of Yulin County, his strength is quite difficult, and our attack is not fierce, but it is still held by the tenacious defenders, so that our attack does not take advantage of half a point."

"Yes, I didn't expect the defenders in this Yulin County city to be so difficult, and the people under Liu Zheng's command really have some ability, but even so, we still have to take this city as soon as possible."

Zhang Ying replied to Yu Mi's words, and the expression on her face seemed to be a little unpleasant. When he left Hepu City, he promised Zhu Fu that he would clear Liu Zheng's wings in the shortest possible time.

At that time, he will lead the army back to Hepu City again, and unite with Zhu Fu to start a big battle against the main army of Liu Zheng at the end of Hepu City.

Originally, Zhang Ying thought that such a thing should not be difficult for him, even if Liu Zheng placed nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yulin County and Cangwu County, it should not be difficult to rely on 30,000 troops, but the result was quite embarrassing for him.

"My lord, in fact, it is not particularly difficult to take this Yulin county town with the strength of our army, but if you want to take this county town as soon as possible, it is inevitable that the loss of troops will be lost, so that the gains outweigh the losses for our army, if the city is besieged for three or five days, it can reduce the casualties of the soldiers under his command by using other methods to attack the city, but then the time will be delayed for a long time, I am afraid that it will not be good for the Zhu Fu assassination history of Hepu City."

"Yes, I was concerned that the casualties of our soldiers and horses would be too large, so I didn't order all the soldiers to charge just now."

Seeing Zhang Ying, he was entangled at this time, and Chen Heng immediately stood up. Said a word.

"My lord, I have a plan, maybe I can reduce the casualties of our army, but if you want to take this city, it is certain to attack."

"General Chen Heng, what can you do? Speak up. ”

"This is Yulin County, there are many barbarian villages, those barbarian villages, usually have little contact with the imperial court, are self-reliant, and the development is good, if we can say that those barbarian village owners will move troops with us to this county, and then let those barbarians send troops to contain them, and our army will enter the city in one go, it will definitely reduce the losses of our army."

Chen Heng's method is actually very simple, he observed that there are many barbarians in Yulin County, these barbarian villages, there are also many soldiers responsible for protecting the village on weekdays, they take up arms are soldiers, put down weapons are farmers, if you can let these barbarian soldiers participate in the war, even if the number is not large, only a few thousand or even more than 10,000 people can contain most of the troops in the city.

At the same time, Zhang Ying only needs to send the 30,000 soldiers and horses he will order, miss the main defensive area of the defenders in the city, and find one of the weakly defended city gates, so that he can attack the city in the shortest possible time.

In this way, the losses are shared by the barbarians, who can break the city in the shortest possible time.

Although this plan is not a foolproof strategy, it is currently a way to break through the gates of Yulin County in the shortest possible time with the least amount of damage.

So as soon as Chen Heng said it, he got Zhang Ying's approval.

"Okay, just use your method, go to those barbarian cottages and lobby those barbarian people, we must let them join us, no matter what method is used, even if it is a fraud, we must deceive them!"

Zhang Ying immediately ordered Chen Heng to act according to the method he just said, but at this moment, the sound of a herald came from outside the big tent.

"Report! There is an emergency military situation. ”

The herald outside the battle shouted, and then quickly walked in through the door curtain, knelt on the ground, and reported the military situation to Zhang Ying, who was sitting on the main seat.

"What's going on?"

"Back to my lord, in the direction of Hepu City, there is an army moving rapidly towards our army, and it is less than 50 miles away from the position of our army!"

"What!"

As soon as Xiao Bing's words came out, Zhang Ying's face on the main seat immediately turned slightly pale, and he quickly asked the herald again.

"Have you found out who it is? How many centaurs? ”

"I don't know whose soldiers and horses it is? But the number of people is about 10,000 people? ”

"Probe, find out and tell me!"

Zhang Ying didn't ask much, but quickly gave an order.
