Guanzicheng is located on a small piece of flat land in the Yanshan Mountains, with vast mountains in front and a passage into western Liaoning in the back. Gongsun Chan can be surrounded here, which shows that he has run a long way. When Qiu Liju's army arrived, they besieged Guanzi City.

It is ridiculous to say that the Han army under Zhang Chun's command is no more than 10,000 people, but there are 50,000 or 60,000 miscellaneous people of all kinds. He stationed his army mainly in the west and east of Guanzi City, and the troops in the south and north were relatively weak. As long as the road of Gongsun Chan to escape back to Han is blocked, he is not afraid that he will fly into the sky.

But Gongsun Chan is extremely iron-clad, and he doesn't go to the other three roads, and he wants to run to the east. The road to the east is wide enough for large armies, and it is the fastest way to enter the Han land. Several major battles broke out between the two sides on the east side of Guanzi City, and Gongsun Zhan's army suffered a lot of losses because of the war horses, and the impact was greatly weakened, although they killed many enemies, they were never able to break through.

Tactically, Gongsun Chan was victorious, but strategically, he was completely defeated. The army consumed a lot of arrows and supplies, but failed to achieve the goal of breakthrough, and the morale of the city inevitably weakened. What's even more terrifying is that most of the food they carried with them has also been lost, and the food in the city is about to bottom out.

During this period, Zhang Chun also commanded soldiers and horses to launch a siege, and after being shot by a strong bow and crossbow to kill hundreds of people, he wisely abandoned this idea. The Han army has always been famous for its bows and crossbows, and he does not have much armor on his hands, and the siege of the city is just a loss of soldiers and horses in vain.

Of course, now Gongsun Chan has no supplies, and the arrows are one less than one, as long as the dead people run out of the opponent's arrows, they can win in the end. But people are not steel, they not only have to eat, but they will also rebel. If he dared to force his soldiers to fill the ravine, he was afraid that his head would be cut off by the people below in a few days.

Zhang Chun couldn't capture the city, and Gongsun Zhan couldn't break through, so the two sides couldn't help each other, and the situation was deadlocked.

For Gongsun Zhan, it is also a good thing that wounded soldiers die every day, at least there is one less mouth for eating. But morale in the city was so low that he had to patrol the city day and night, which ensured that there was no mass escape. And for Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju, things can't be considered good. They have a lot of troops, but they also have a lot of mouths to eat.

Although the Hu people can drive cattle and sheep around, how much pasture do tens of thousands of cattle and sheep have to be able to feed. After a month or two of siege, the ground near it was gnawed bald. When Chen Cheng led two cavalrymen to look down from the mountainside, all he saw were countless dilapidated tents and large areas of bare ground.

In the vicinity of Pipe City, more than a dozen humble camps were built. Outside the camp a trench was dug and a fence was erected, but it was not very well-organized. But there are also advantages of not being strict and tidy, Chen Cheng looked at it for a while, and he didn't see where the main general's big tent was. In some places further afield, the arrangement of the tents is not strict at all, and it can only be seen that many tribes are united together.

He looked closely, and when he saw a small river with many cows and horses huddled together to drink, he had a good idea. Good idea? Chen Cheng suddenly thought of something else, it is said that every bad idea looks like a good idea before it becomes bad.

Ahh Chen Cheng spat twice on the ground. Xindao: How could our family's idea become rancid? Even if it's getting rancid..... That must be the fault of the world, and you can't rely on me!

He drove back with his cavalry and found a large army in a valley that was being repaired. The Hu people under Qiu Liju were happy to go east to graze, and few of them went into the mountains. The cavalry drove into the barracks, and Chen Cheng turned over and dismounted, and walked to Tian Yu's side.

"How's it going?" Tian Yu's beard grew a little longer, and his face looked tired, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and he asked in a deep voice, "Is Guanzicheng still holding on?" ”

Chen Cheng said: "The situation is not bad, the Hu people will not attack the city, and there is no way to take Guanzi City for a while." ”

A smile appeared on Tian Yu's face and said, "That's good." Wenzheng, how do we march into the army? ”

Chen Cheng said: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored. Why don't you call all the lieutenants and discuss it together? ”

Tian Yu nodded and said, "It's exactly what I want." ”

Soon, the four lieutenants arrived. These officers are all heroes of Youzhou, and they are grateful for Gongsun Zhan's kindness, so they followed Tian Yu to rescue Guanzi City regardless of life and death. Chen Cheng broke a tree branch, roughly drew the terrain around Guanzi City on the ground, and drew a few circles, representing the place where the enemy army gathered.

"This is Guanzi City," Chen Cheng nodded on the square and said, "These places are all enemy camps, there are thirty or twenty thousand people in the barracks, and there are tens of thousands of people outside. This is the river, as I saw just now, the enemy army is very numerous, and they have to go to this river every day to get water, so there are several camps along the river. Because it is far from the city, most of the people in the camp are old and weak. ”

Tian Yu and several lieutenants all looked at the ground with serious expressions, and their eyes followed the branches in Chen Cheng's hands to move continuously, this was a major matter related to the life and death of more than a thousand of them, and there was no room for negligence.

Chen Cheng continued: "I intend to set up a camp here. ”

He stretched out his hand and nodded at a place on the west side of the river, and said, "This place is about ten miles away from the river, the terrain is dangerous, there is living water on the mountain, and there is a mountain peak in front of it, which can block the view below." Let's chop some wood and get ready, and then we'll go and set up the camp when it's getting late. If we are discovered during the day the next day, we will hold on here, divert the enemy's main force, and create a chance for Taishou to break through. If it's not discovered, it's even better. ”

Chen Cheng moved the branch to the river and said, "If we are not discovered, we will rest for a day, and in the early hours of the morning, I will take thirty people along the river to sneak into the enemy camp and set fire." Captain Tian led people outside, and waited until dawn to rob the enemy's cattle and sheep. Even if they can't snatch it, they will be broken up, leaving them scrambling. ”

Tian Yu stared at the figure on the ground for a while, and said, "If you don't find out, why don't you let me lead someone to sneak in, Wenzheng, you are leading the troops outside, how about it?" ”

Chen Cheng threw down the branch and said with a smile: "The captain is the master of an army, how can he personally lead the troops to death?" Let me do this pioneer task. ”

Tian Yu thought for a while, and said in his heart: How can you not be discovered when you set up a village in front of the enemy?

So he stopped discussing the issue, but asked the other lieutenants, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

Several captains were promoted because of their combat bravery, and their martial arts were good, but they didn't have any good opinions on tactical issues, they looked at each other, and said together: "How the captain commands, we will do it well." ”

Tian Yu didn't care, it was the norm for low-level officers and soldiers to be illiterate, and it would be good to be able to complete the order, and it would be extremely difficult to get them to come up with countermeasures. He was used to this. After thinking about it, he asked Chen Cheng again: "Why don't you go in and join Zhonglang?" ”

Gongsun Zan was named Zhonglang General by the imperial court because of his defeat of Zhang Ju, and Tian Yu called him Zhonglang General again.

Chen Cheng said: "The enemy's defense is mostly facing Guanzi City, and it is easy to kill it while it is unprepared, but there are still tens of thousands of troops in the city, and it is estimated that there is a shortage of armor, weapons and war horses, and it is difficult to kill them." We came here to rescue Taishou, but what can we do after we kill them? Instead, it will consume the grain and grass in the city. In a short period of time, the state could no longer send reinforcements. ”

Tian Yu thought about it and felt that this idea was really like a bad idea, but even if it was a bad idea, no matter how bad it was, it would not be so bad, at most it would be the annihilation of the whole army, so he agreed with Chen Cheng's opinion.

The plan was decided, and the army began to operate in an orderly manner. Tian Yu led people to cut down trees at the foot of the mountain, preparing to take advantage of the night to erect a camp on the selected site. Chen Cheng set off first, with a dozen soldiers, abandoned his war horse, took a bow, crossbow, short knife and throwing spear, and touched the hill in front of him.

He observed for a long time during the day, and there was a faint smoke on the top of the mountain, most likely the spies placed by the enemy army on the top of the mountain to light a fire. Killing the spies above will greatly delay the enemy's reaction. He added all the skill points to the skills that can directly increase the combat effectiveness, such as "reconnaissance" and "guide" and other auxiliary skills have no points, so the range shown on the minimap is very limited, until it reaches the foot of the mountain, less than a kilometer away from the enemy, and only four small red dots are displayed on the minimap in the upper right corner of the virtual screen.

If there were only four people, it would be easy to do. What Chen Cheng was most afraid of was that there were dozens of people on the mountain, so even if he could kill all the enemies, he might not be able to stop the enemy from passing on the news. He breathed a sigh of relief lightly and whispered to the soldiers on the side: "Come and follow me, and the others will be on guard on both sides, and be careful not to be discovered." ”

He put away his bow and arrows, carried two throwing spears on his back, and bit the ring-headed knife in his mouth, and climbed up with his hands and feet. The three men who followed him also bit the knife in their mouths and chased after him.

The peak is not too high, just over a hundred meters above the ground, so the temperature above it is not much lower than on the ground. Four Wuhuan people in sheep's clothing were hiding in a sheltered corner, boredly catching insects and ants on the ground, and when they caught them, they put them in their mouths and bit loudly.

They were ordered to come to the mountains to watch the wind, and if they found the Han army, they would light cigarettes during the day and set fires at night. A few balls of poisonous smoke made of wolf dung were placed on the side, and they could be reached out for. In the beginning, they were more serious about patrolling. It's been more than a month, and I don't even have a hair, so I sent it down and wrote it down.

After a month of siege, the people in the city were demoralized, and the people outside the city were exhausted. Their rations were reduced again and again, and now they were dizzy from hunger every day, and they could not leave their posts to hunt without permission, so they had to lie on the ground and lay down on their corpses, so that their stomachs would not be hungry so quickly.

When a few people were lying on the ground humming, the sound of breaking the air behind the rocks sounded. Chen Cheng stuck the knife on the ground, holding a throwing spear in his left hand, and with a wave of his right hand, the black shadow broke through the air, and the throwing spear had pierced into the stomach of a Wuhuan man. He then handed the spear in his left hand to his right hand and threw it again.

Two spears killed the two Wuhuan people, he drew his knife with his backhand, and was about to rush up to the hand-to-hand fight, when the bowstring around him vibrate, and three crossbow arrows flew out, knocking down the two Wuhuan people who grabbed the spear and bow and arrow and jumped up from the ground. Several Wuhuan people were not dead for a while, they fell to the ground and screamed, and their voices came out in the wind.

Chen Cheng rushed to the Wuhuan people's side, and stabbed them down a few times, making them completely turned into corpses, and they could no longer make a sound. The three soldiers behind him threw down their crossbows, picked up the ring-headed knife and rushed over, slashing at the Wuhuan people on the opposite side, until the flesh and blood were blurred, Chen Cheng shouted in a low voice a few times, and the soldiers gasped and stopped.

"Don't cut it, it's dead!"

Chen Cheng poked his head out as he spoke. On the grass below, the Hu people kept coming and going, but no one looked up the mountain. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's far away from here, and you can't hear it below." You ........."

He pointed to a random person and said, "Go back and tell Captain Tian that the enemy's sentry has been killed by us, but I don't know how long they will change shifts, let the captain hurry up." ”

As soon as the soldier left, Chen Cheng said to the other two: "You go and contact the other people, let them go back first, and I can watch it here." ”

One of the soldiers said, "Isn't that okay? What if the enemy is gone? ”

"Hey," Chen Cheng filled the strong bow he didn't know when, and said, "With our archery skills, a thousand come, and a thousand die!" ”

The two soldiers were surprised, when they rushed up before, they clearly didn't bring bows and arrows, where did they get them?

They looked at each other, wisely did not ask, but quietly retreated along the mountain road.

Chen Cheng opened the system screen and saw that the red and green dots on the minimap had disappeared, so he took out the shovel from the "inventory" and dug a pit, preparing to bury the corpses of the four Wuhuan people in it. He had a lot of strength, and when he went down with a shovel, it was a big pit, and he dug it in three or two strokes.

He thought about it before throwing the corpses in, and still peeled off the stinking sheepskin from them. Three of them were thrown into a wooden box and put away, and the remaining one was put on his own body. I don't know how long the sheepskin jacket hasn't been washed, maybe it hasn't been washed since it changed from sheepskin to jacket, and there is a strong smell and smell on it, and there are a lot of greasy and some unknown ingredients, and you can smell the smell from a few meters away.

Chen Chengsheng has a clean sex, but he can't take care of it at this time, and he puts on the sheepskin jacket without changing his face. Then he leaned against the rock and narrowed comfortably. Because of the plug-in, he didn't need to look carefully with his eyes wide, as long as an enemy entered a kilometer range, he would be discovered, which was much more reliable than looking at it with his eyes.
