Chapter 278: Guo Jia's Clever Plan

Although Sokov saw Zhang Bao and another general standing on the city wall, he couldn't see their expressions clearly, and at this moment he thought to himself: It would be nice to have a pair of binoculars, so that even if he was farther away, he could see the expressions of everyone on the city wall clearly. With-Dream- . lā

In order to find out whether Cui Yong was willing to open the city gate and return to obedience, he turned his head to Huang Zhong and said, "Han Sheng, arrange a few people for Benhou, I want to get closer and take a look." ”

Huang Zhong looked at the city wall in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and then called the two chiefs and ordered them to take their subordinates to escort Han Zhan to the city to see what was going on.

Han Zhan came to the moat and looked up at the city wall, only to see Zhang Bao and another general standing behind the battlement, and behind him, there was also a group of soldiers with bright armor. Han Zhan shouted loudly at the top: "Captain Zhang, is Cui Yong and Captain Cui Qidu next to you?" ”

Zhang Bao didn't speak, and the military general beside him said with a smile: "I didn't expect Tinghou to have heard of the villain's name, the villain is really flattered!" ”

When Han Zhan heard Cui Yong say this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and secretly thought: "Listening to Cui Yong's tone of voice, it seems that he doesn't want to submit to himself. Since he refused to submit, why didn't Zhang Bao come back in time to report? ”

Just when he wanted to ask, he heard Cui Yong say: "A certain person has received the great favor of the great Sima, even if he is broken to pieces, it is difficult to repay him, how can he be willing to surrender to you, a rat." Someone! ”

With his shout, Han Zhan saw that Zhang Bao was pressed against the battlement by two soldiers with his hands cut behind his back. Cui Yong pointed at Zhang Bao on the side and said: "I'll let you see today, what is the fate of those who betray the Lord and seek glory!" After saying that, he waved his hand down sharply and ordered loudly, "Chop!" ”

A soldier next to him, after hearing Cui Yong's order, came over and raised the big knife in his hand high, and after swinging it down, Zhang Bao immediately turned his head in a different place, and blood spurted out from his neck.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Han Zhan secretly screamed in his heart, and then turned around and ordered the cavalry guarding him: "Hurry back, hurry back." ”

However, his shouting was still half a beat slower, and after Cui Yong killed Zhang Bao, he issued an order, and the archers, who had long been ready to attack, immediately rushed to the battlement and shot arrows at the city. Countless sharp arrows shot down from the city, instantly shooting several cavalrymen who did not react into hedgehogs, and when Han Zhan was galloping on his horse, he felt as if someone had smashed his back with his fist, and he immediately realized that he had been hit by an arrow. But this place was still within the range of the defenders' bows and arrows, and if he continued to stay, his life would be in danger, so he could only swing his horsewhip desperately in order to get out of danger as soon as possible. Huang Zhong saw the defenders in the city release arrows, and secretly screamed that it was not good, and then rushed out with a team of cavalry and came to meet Han Zhan.

After Han Zhan fled back to his main formation, he found that of the twenty cavalrymen who followed him to the edge of the city, only four or five returned alive; And the cavalry that Huang Zhong brought out to meet him also suffered more than a dozen casualties.

Seeing such heavy casualties among his subordinates, Han Zhan couldn't help but jump to his feet in anger, he pointed at the city wall in the distance with his horsewhip, and scolded loudly: "Cui Yong, this revenge is not shared with the sky, he will break your body into thousands of pieces......"

failed to persuade Cui Yong to surrender, not to mention Zhang Bao's life, and killed and injured more than 30 people, which made Han Zhan furious. However, he did not blindly order the cavalry to attack the city, but ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp. Guo Jia and Huang Zhong didn't say anything about his approach, because they understood that if they wanted to capture this fortified city, the cavalry would not be of much use, and it was the infantry that decided the final victory.

As soon as he returned to the barracks, Huang Zhong took the initiative to say to Han Zhan: "Lord, it seems that if we want to enter Chang'an, we must send troops to attack the city. ”

"Lord," Hearing Huang Zhong say this, Dian Wei stood out of the queue and took the initiative to ask Ying, "The last general is willing to take someone to supervise the construction of siege equipment." When the equipment is completed, it will be able to capture the Jingshi. But the last general must personally cut off Cui Yong's head and vent the evil anger in his heart for the lord. ”

Han Zhan saw that it was already impossible to enter the city through internal response, and using a strong attack might be the only effective method. Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Guo Jia and Xun You, and asked, "Two, how do you think we should capture the Jingshi?" ”

The first to express his position was Xun You, who said with some concerns: "Lord, if we lead our troops to attack the city, Li Dao and Guo Yan's soldiers and horses may join forces and harass the flank of our army, and then the enemy will be attacked on the back of the abdomen, I am afraid that it will ......."

Without waiting for Xun You to finish his concerns, Guo Jia stood up and said: "Lord, Jia has a plan to break Li Dao and Guo Yan's soldiers and horses. ”

Hearing Guo Jia say this, Han Zhan was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "What is Fengxiao's clever plan, tell me quickly!" ”

"Our army can be led by General Dian Wei to make a feint at the east gate to attract Li Dao and Guo Yan's soldiers and horses. And Zilong and Hansheng led their troops to ambush them in the middle of the road, ambushing them......"

After Han Zhan waited for Guo Jia to finish speaking, he did not immediately express his position, but considered the feasibility of this plan. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "Fengxiao, if the soldiers and horses of Li Guo's two thieves come around the city, the ambush we set up will be useful." But if they go directly into the city and help Cui Yong's soldiers and horses defend the city, then how will we deal with it? ”

"The lord is too worried." Guo Jia said with a smile: "Now that Li Dao and Guo Yan are in flames, even if the two of them temporarily withdraw their troops and join forces to deal with our army, they will still have suspicion in their hearts." Whoever enters the city, the other side will not be sure, so they will surely come around the city. ”

Regarding Guo Jia's statement, Xun You only thought for a moment, and then nodded in agreement: "What Feng Xiao said is extremely true, even if Li Guo and the two thieves join forces, they are forced by the situation, and they are still suspicious of each other, and they will never enter the city." If they want to deal with our army, they will definitely come around from the north and south sides of the city and attack the flanks of our army. ”

"I heard that Li Guo's two thieves have a strategist named Jia Xu." Although the two strategists under his command reached an agreement, Han Zhan felt furious in his heart when he thought of Jia Xu, who was known as a poisonous man. So he said to the two of them worriedly, "What if he sees through our plan?" ”

Guo Jia was silent for a moment, and then said in an affirmative tone: "My lord, judging from the recent melee between Li Dao and Guo Yan, it seems that there is no military division in the army at all, otherwise one of them would have been defeated. According to Jia's estimate, Jia Xu may not be in Beijing at the moment. ”
