Chapter 260: Burned Clean

Not the Acropolis

Yuan Shao, who was supported by Gao Gan and stepped onto the city wall, was extremely pale, thirty sticks, not any thirty sticks of military sticks that did not release water, or Zhu Jun's personal hand, it was really not so easy to suffer, plus after a wave, he also rushed back to Buwei City in a carriage overnight, and he was injured and injured, so that he now even has to lie on his stomach to sleep and eat.

Now that the Kushan army has appeared, he can only forcibly get up and preside over the overall situation.

"How's it going?"

"It's not optimistic, Guishan has an army of 100,000 people staying ten miles outside the city of Buwei"

"Only 100,000? Looking down on me Yuan Benchu like this?! ”

Yuan Shao was a little surprised, although their number is not much, but all of them are elite soldiers, Guan Yu and the others will not say it, they have started the campaign from the northern Xinjiang, and even his own 5,000 headquarters are selected by the old Yuan family from the soldiers who should be discharged from the army for various reasons

If you really want to calculate it, the combat effectiveness of their 20,000 horses in Buwei City is really not much lower than Yongchang Chen's 80,000 or 90,000 Han soldiers, plus due to the influence of Yuan Shao, there are enough 60,000 private soldiers, slaves, and young people to join Buwei City, although these people are not very good in combat power, they can be used to assist in defending the city is still quite useful.

"What is the situation of the generals now?"

"Xu Rong guards the south gate, ready to resist the attack of the main force of Guishan, Guan Yu guards the east gate, Yan Liang guards the west gate, and we guard the north gate."

Yuan Shao nodded slightly after hearing this, among the soldiers and horses, the thorn shield guards belonging to Xu Rong were the best at defense, wearing precision-cast chain mail and holding a large shield of iron, wood and steel, it is not an exaggeration to say that these soldiers standing in a row is a human-shaped city wall.

Although Guan Yu Yanliang, who has two pennies in the east and west, does not belong to the defensive arms at all, but after all, the quality is there, and it is also a strong force to get off the horse and go up to the city wall.

"What's going on with Guishan?"

"There hasn't been any major movement, and now I'm trying to find a way to move timber from elsewhere to form a camp."

Saying that, the corners of Gao Gan's mouth couldn't help twitching, this fire was really burning a little terrifying, the large jungle to the south of Yongchang City was burned clean, and even a complete piece of wood could not be found, and it has not been completely extinguished until now, but the jungle leading to Yongchang City has been burned out, and it is still burning on both sides of the east and west in the distance, which also leads to the fact that Guishuang now wants to find wood and has no place to find it,

"Hahaha,"

Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing heartily after hearing this, his cheeks twitched randomly, and a sharp pain from his buttocks made him grin uncontrollably.

"Invite Guan Yu here, I have something important to discuss."

"What?"

Soon, Guan Yu, who was carrying the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife, strode over with an indifferent face

"Now it is not easy for Guishan to build a camp, I want to ask the general to lead the army out of the city to attack!"

Yuan Shao did not have the slightest dissatisfaction, and said with a solemn face, he has been staying with Guan Yu for a while, so he naturally knows that this big guy's temperament is like this, and everyone is wearing this cold face.

"When?"

Guan Yu, who squinted his eyes and pondered slightly, did not refuse this dangerous task, he has always been a knife, not a shield, killing the enemy, which is exactly what he wants!

"How's the time?"

Yuan Shao obviously had a calculation and said very simply

"At that time, the senior cadres will lead our troops to fight with the general, and everything will be based on the general, and the general will act according to the general's orders! I wanted to fight in person, but now this~"

Anyway, Yuan Shao shook his head a little ashamedly, not only these plans, as early as the march on the way, he began to study the possible actions after their arrival, and made a series of plans, in the original plan, he was originally going to lead the soldiers and horses to attack the Guishan camp first, suppressing the morale of Guishan, but now, the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, and there is no way to even walk, how to go into battle to kill the enemy?

"No, just let my headquarters attack"

It's not that Guan Yu looks down on Yuan Shao's headquarters, those are indeed the soldiers in the army, but one is too old and lacks the ability to continue fighting, and the other is that he has been out of the battlefield for a long time, and his combat power is no longer what he used to be.

After listening to Guan Yu's short words, Yuan Shao was suddenly a little speechless, okay, don't think about it, people don't mean that, nature is like this, besides, people have the qualifications to be proud.

"That being the case, hard work general"

Yuan Shao bowed to Guan Yu seriously, Guan Yu is not his subordinate, and even on the official position, he can't be compared to Guan Yu, but he Yuan Shao is famous, the prestige of the old Yuan family is behind, and the gambling contract is in front, so he can barely mobilize these three generals now.

"Damn the Han Army!"

When the fire was extinguished, he was still a little happy, after all, these jungles were burned clean, and it was much easier for them to march and hurry, but when they were ready to set up camp, they found that the wood that had never been lacking in the past was now impossible to find at all! If you can't build a camp, they all have to fight the northwest wind tonight!

"There is no choice but to bring wood from other places, or we have to move the troops and march to the north of Yongchang City."

"What to move? You want to die, but I don't want to! ”

For the sake of some wood, move the troops to the north of Yongchang City, the center of Yizhou? The enemy's abdomen, once the Han family comes to help, the Han army in Yongchang City attacks at the same time, and comes back and forth, will it still be alive?

"Then don't talk nonsense, let your Vaishyas transport the wood."

Campbell, who was also covered in ashes, strode over, when was it, and a few blind! Isn't it just a few more days to build Dazhai, how big is it?

Even he felt that the fire of the Han army was also very good, at least it avoided a potential deadly threat to them, if they went crazy, sent enough soldiers and horses to contain them in this jungle, and if there was another fire, 100,000 soldiers and horses in exchange for his more than 400,000, this deal was actually very profitable, if he was desperate, he would definitely be able to do it!

"Beck, the task of guarding the camp and preventing the Han army from attacking will be handed over to you"

Campbell waved his hand casually, and the two generals behind him smiled, and even nodded at him with a little reverence,

"Command!"

Baker instantly understood in seconds, these two were the help given to him by Campbell, in other words, he was also promoted in disguise, sure enough, with the merits of the battle, it is easy to say anything, when his record of the surprise attack on Yongchang came out, the attitude of several lords such as Hindrei and other city lords towards him should be even a 180-degree change, not only on the same day to replenish his soldiers and horses, but also all replaced with the best equipment, and now he has given him two troops for him to drive, 15,000 people, he now has 15,000 Kshatriya pawns!

"Alcott, you and Luna are in charge of patrolling a radius of twenty miles!"

"Understood!"

Alcott's wound has not yet healed with his face excited, this is Baker giving him a chance, as long as he can run in with Luna, in the future, Luna's subordinates will naturally transfer to his subordinates, with him as the master of the army, becoming the first pro-army under Baker's command!
