Chapter 365: Reinforcements from the North

It is said that Chen Long disposed of Tao Sheng, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, cut his hair and acted as the head, and for a time the three armies were purged, despising Tao Sheng's actions. Even the bystander Guo Tu secretly praised in his heart, although some women are benevolent, but the main generals are not easy to kill, and it is rare in this cannibalistic country. Guo Tu was full of worries, said goodbye to Erlu with his eyes, and slowly beat the horse and disappeared on the horizon.

After Guo Tu left, the grain road was opened, but for a while, where to raise so much grain and grass to burn? Chen Long broke the covenant of Yecheng on the 10th, but he was also forced to be helpless, because Chen Long really didn't want to withdraw from the army.

In terms of military strength, the Montenegrin army has a certain advantage, but in the face of attacking the fortified cities of the world, the advantage in military strength will be gone. Attacking Yecheng on his back, the arrows and stones on the city were like rain, and the picture of the Black Mountain Army's dead and wounded pillows appeared repeatedly in Chen Long's mind, and it seemed that it was unavoidable.

Chen Long is not a brave and unscrupulous reckless man, and with a top military advisor like Zhou Budo by his side, he will naturally consider the battle situation comprehensively in order to seek the greatest advantage and turn decay into magic.

On the night of the battle against Guo Tu, Chen Long's cavalry team camped in the local area to rest, and Chen Long and Zhou Budo made an assessment of the battle situation. As the so-called sharpening knives do not mistake woodcutters, if you want to destroy Yecheng within ten days, this night's planning is absolutely crucial.

Zhou Budo took out the carefully drawn map of Jizhou as usual and analyzed: "There is no information at present, indicating that Yuan Shao recalled his two sons, I don't know where he got his confidence?"

Chen Long said: "With the back of the strong city, the soldiers are full of food, the hundred officials are complete, and the talents of the strategists and generals are still sufficient, so I naturally have the bottom in my heart." ”

Zhou Budo slowly shook his head and said: "Guo Tu folded his feathers and returned, Yuan Shao must not be able to use it." Guan Yu has been able to fully suppress Chun Yuqiong, and this army has no need to worry. ”

"Yan Liang and Wen Chou are outside, and what Yuan Shao relies on is nothing more than a group of second-rate generals, and we have the advantage in this regard. However, the number of troops in Yuan Shao City is still more than 100,000, and the people are sufficient, if the main attack is one, it will be difficult to break through at all, not to mention that there is only ten days of food and grass. However, the siege of the city was attacked by four gates, and the troops were scattered, which made it even more unfavorable to attack the city. I mean, the main attack on the southeast two gates, each gate more than 100,000 people, see who can succeed! ”

Chen Long nodded and said: "It stands to reason that it can only be arranged like this, I will lead an army to attack the east gate, Tai Shici and you will lead an army to attack the south gate, one echelon for every 20,000 troops, day and night to take turns to attack, with simple catapults, or have a chance to break the city wall." ”

"However, I always feel that this style of play is too formal, or a little stupid, and it hurts the soldiers, which is not what I want." Zhou Budo was also silent, this ten-day gambling contract, it is actually more difficult to win.

Chen Long looked at the map of Jizhou and was fascinated, the north of Yecheng is connected to the big city of Handan, and then to the north until Zhending, it is a small city. Chen Long was very familiar with the geography of Jizhou, and his eyes finally stayed on Cangzhou.

Chen Long muttered: "It's a pity that Gongsun Chan was dragged by Yuan Tan and Wen Chou, otherwise he would be a strong reinforcement." However, Cangzhou has been guarding itself behind closed doors, and if it can get the help of Liyi and Tian Feng to sneak attack the north gate of Yecheng, the chances of victory will be much greater. ”

Zhou Budo didn't think so at first, Lu Yi and Tian Feng kept their own doors behind closed doors, and never claimed to be out of the control of Yuan Shao in Jizhou, how could they suddenly come to help the Montenegrin army attack Yecheng, this plan may not be successful.

Zhou Budo considered another possibility, and said: "Yuan Shang took Yan Liang out of the pot to attack the party, and I heard that Sun Qing and Wang Dang were under a lot of pressure. If we can make a fake letter from Yuan Shao and recall Yuan Shang in the name of Yecheng's crisis, let's set a trap and kill this Yuan Shao's favorite son first. At that time, are you still afraid that Yuan Shao will not be able to attack?"

When Long Chen heard this, his heart was also a clever plan, but it was a pity that Zhong Xuan, a master of forgery, was not around. I thought in my heart, there was no food and grass for ten days, and Yuan Shang hadn't come back yet. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his heart, and he said with a smile: "I think Yuan Zhi's plan is the best, Yuan Shang has already killed a Yuan Xi, why don't we release the news, break through Yecheng within ten days, and make a gesture of attacking Yecheng, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang Whoever rushes back to Yecheng first to save his father will be able to inherit the lord of Jizhou." In this way, I am afraid that the two sons will be faster than the other. Haha, brilliant plan! ”

Zhou Budo was overjoyed and said: "What does the lord mean, is the old Yuan family stewed?" That's a good idea. Then he frowned and said, "Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are back, don't Yan Liang and Wen Chou have to come back with them?"

Chen Long patted his head and said: "There is a chance to win in the chaos, and there are also in the grain and grass Ye City." I immediately wrote a letter to Gongsun Zhan, saying that if Yuan Tan withdrew his troops, it must be Yuan Tan in front and Wen Chou behind, please Gongsun Chan must lead the troops to drive straight in, I ambush the head of Yuan Tan's soldiers, he attacks the tail of Yuan Tan's soldiers, and he will win a big victory. Yuan Shang also operated in this way, letting Sun Qing pursue the enemy army to camp outside Huguan, and I personally set up an ambush to deal with Yuan Shang. The two sons were hit hard at the same time, dare to ask Yuan Shao if he really saw death or not?"

Zhou Budo gave a thumbs up and said, "As long as Yuan Shao can't help but open the city gate and go out to save his son, our chance will come!" ”

Long Chen was also a little proud, and finally said: "As for Tian Feng and Ko Yi, I still want to test their intentions, whether they are willing to support my Dragon Ball." When I also write a letter to Tian Feng, I will say that my army's grain and grass have been burned and I need hundreds of stones of grain and grass for emergency relief, and see how Tian Feng reacts, will he give me food?"

Zhou Budo couldn't help but praise it, but he didn't expect that the lord was a last resort, and he took the opportunity of the war to test even Tian Feng's intentions. Zhou Budo personally selected overnight and sent more than a dozen squads of people, each running to a different goal.

Three days later, Chen Long and Tai Shici divided their troops and began to kick off the attack on Yecheng. The soldiers divided into several groups did not stop day and night, attacking wildly, regardless of life and death, and finally failed because the city was too strong and the defenders were too many, and after two days and two nights of fierce attack, Chen Long's army seemed to be unable to continue, and the siege battle was rested.

At this time, five days have passed, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan have begun to circulate a piece of news that Yecheng is in danger, and whoever can return to the city first to relieve the siege of Yecheng can inherit Yuan Shao's position and become the new lord of Jizhou. The eyes of the two Yuan Gongzi immediately turned red, and they immediately abandoned the front line, and immediately marched at full speed, approaching in the direction of Yecheng day and night.

Yuan Shang fought outside Huguan, closer to Yecheng, and traveled under the stars and nights, but in one day, he returned to Huguan. Yuan Shang did not stop, and crossed the Huguan with Yan Liang, driving the army straight towards Yecheng.

Yuan Tan's troops, but pulled into a long snake, Yuan Tan was anxious in front, and ordered the general Wen Chou to break the rear to resist Gongsun Zhan, who came later. Gongsun Zhan's army pursued the enemy, and his momentum was like a rainbow, and he really became the northern reinforcement in Chen Long's mouth.

On the seventh day after Guo Tu was released, there were still three days left in Chen Long's grain and grass, and a letter suddenly came from Tian Feng's side. Before Chen Long had time to open it, his subordinates reported that Yuan Shang had already arrived at Niutou Gorge, which was a hundred miles away from Yecheng, and this was the ambush circle carefully designed by Chen Long for Yuan Shang, and now Chen Long was standing on top of the bull's head in Niutou Canyon.
