A few days later, the troops led by Zeng Yu had arrived in Changzi County, Shangdang County, and they were three days later than the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army led by Zuo Zhangba.

When they arrived outside the county town of Changzi, they thought that the Yellow Turban Army would directly coerce the people to retreat to Huguan, leaving an empty city for them. But what they saw was not like this, the entire Changzi County was closed at this time, and the city walls were full of Yellow Turban Army.

Regarding this situation, whether it was Zeng Yu, Guo Jia, or Wang Qing and others, they didn't know for a while how Zuo Zhangba had pulled together a group of men and horses who seemed to have a certain combat effectiveness in the past three days, and the first thing they thought of was that the reinforcements of the Yellow Turban Army had arrived.

Because during this time, the intelligence investigation of the army was mainly focused on Shangdang County, and Zeng Yu and others were not aware of the war in other states and counties, in case Jizhou and Youzhou all fell into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, then it was entirely possible for them to send a Yellow Turban Army to support Shangdang County.

Soon, though, they learned the real reason. The scouts sent by Wang Qing found the scout camp led by Zhao Yun in the west of the county seat and brought him back.

After Zhao Yun joined them, he told Zeng Yu that he had been ordered to ambush on the road between Tunliu and Xiangyuan. But he didn't wait for the Yellow Turban Army, and after getting Zeng Yuxin's order, he went directly to Tunliu County to support.

Tunliu County was also attacked by the 10,000 horses of the Yellow Turban Army, and when Zhao Yun led the cavalry to arrive, it happened to encounter the Yellow Turban Army attacking the city. The fighter plane was rare, and Zhao Yun immediately led the cavalry to charge, defeated the Yellow Turban Army, and relieved the siege of Tunliu County.

Because the rations carried were not much, the cavalry battalion resupplied them in Tunliu County, and tracked the Yellow Turban Army all the way to Changzi County. He arrived a little earlier than Zeng Yu and others, but he led all the cavalry and was not good at attacking the city, so he kept waiting under the city.

When he was about to send someone to ask for instructions on what to do next, he saw a remnant of the Yellow Turban Army entering Changzi County from the south. Zhao Yun expected that Zeng Yu and the others would also arrive soon, so he kept standing still outside Changzi County.

After Zeng Yu learned about Zhao Yun's experience, he also knew why there were so many people in Changzi County at this time, and why they did not abandon the city and flee.

The northern part of Changzi County is flat, and if you rush out of the city, wait for the pursuit of the cavalry battalion of the Yellow Turban Army. In the absence of cavalry on their own side, they can't beat it head-on, and the only thing the Yellow Turban Army can do at this time is to defend the city. As soon as he came, he believed that reinforcements would definitely arrive, and then there would be more than 10,000 men and horses outside the city, and they would definitely not be able to stop the army of the Yellow Turban Army. Second, in the past few days, he sent people to the surrounding towns and villages of Changzi County, and brought all the population and grain of these counties to Changzi County, and with these grains, it was enough for Changzi County to last for several months.

Zuo Zhangba knew that the food supply of Zeng Yu's team was their only weakness, Zeng Yu was only the head of a county after all, and there was not much grain and grass to carry on this expedition, and he had to rely on the county seat on the road to supply during the period. So if you have to stick to it, the first thing that is short of grain and grass must be Zeng Yu's side.

Zeng Yu asked people to bring the cavalry battalion over, and then asked his own soldiers to invite Guo Jia and others to come over to discuss how to attack next. In less than a quarter of an hour, Guo Jia and the others entered Zeng Yu's tent one after another, and they all knew from their own soldiers that the cavalry battalion was stationed on the other side of Changzi County.

In the camp tent, Zeng Yu sat on the top, and his face was not too excited because of the arrival of the cavalry battalion. Guo Jia and the others first bowed to see each other, Zeng Yu nodded in response, and then said, "Everyone is here, come, sit." ”

"The lord summoned us this time, presumably to discuss how to take the eldest son county, right?" Guo Jia asked.

"That's right, although we know the approximate strength of the Yellow Turban Thieves in Changzi County, and the enemy's reinforcements, it is impossible to arrive in a short period of time. But our goal is to take it down and ask you guys if you have any good ideas? Zeng Yu nodded solemnly and said.

Wang Qing took the lead and said: "Big brother, there shouldn't be many defenders in the city, if we attack strongly, I have a 100% chance that we can take it." “

"There were originally 2,000 Yellow Turban thieves left behind in the city, plus more than 1,000 remnants of the left bearded Zhangba, and there were attacks on Tunliu County that were blocked by Zilong and retreated to Changzi County, adding up to at least 7,000 people. We also have only more than 10,000 soldiers on our hands, and if we attack by force, the losses will be very large. Zeng Yu did not immediately agree to Wang Qing's proposal.

"Although what Commander Wang said is right, with the combat strength of our unclothed army, even if we have less than twice as many men and horses as the other party, we will still be able to capture the city. But if we continue to attack, the Yellow Turbans will definitely force the people in the city to defend the city, and then we will attack and kill the ordinary people in the city. In this way, even if we take the county seat, the people in the city may resist us, and even affect our reputation. Guo Jia also did not agree with Wang Qing's proposal.

Zeng Yu looked at Guo Jia and said to him: "I plan to leave a group of men and horses to keep an eye on the Yellow Turban Thieves in Changzi County, and then send a few soldiers and horses to subdue the northern counties first, what do you think of Fengxiao?" "Yunnan

"My lord, several county towns in the north have just fallen into the hands of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and their control over these counties is not strong, as long as our men and horses arrive, they can be recaptured soon. As long as this yellow turban thief is eaten, and then the pot is taken, those county towns can be taken quickly. ”

Zeng Yu frowned, his fists clenched, if he attacked, the loss would be too great. If they give it up for the time being, if they want to recover the entire Shangdang County in the end, they still have to take the eldest son county, which is a hurdle they can't get around, and he can't think of any good ideas for a while.

Everyone couldn't come up with an idea for a while, and suddenly Guo Jia suddenly smiled, he approached Zeng Yu and said to him: Lord, I have an idea about this siege. ”

"If you have any good ideas, let's hear about them." Pei Yuanshao said that he had no clue about the siege, but he was also very anxious.

Guo Jia saw that everyone was looking at him, so he slowly explained the strategy, and after everyone heard it, they saw Guo Jia's smiling face, and they all felt that this smiling face seemed to be very sinister.

After Zeng Yu heard it, he was very happy with Guo Jia's proposal, this was the strategist he wanted, he laughed and said: "Next, everyone will do what the military advisor says, and strive to enter Changzi County in seven days." “

After the discussion, Zeng Yu asked Wang Qing to order his soldiers to cut down trees and build siege equipment, while Zhao Yun led the cavalry battalion to guard the side to prevent the Yellow Turban Army from sneaking out of the city.

Zuo Zhangba learned of the actions of the officers and soldiers, and was afraid that Zeng Yu would order someone to attack, so he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to strengthen their vigilance.

That night, the sky was just dark, from outside the county came a huge sound, war drums, gongs, and the shouts of the soldiers, the whole eldest son county suddenly fell into a panic, all the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army woke up one after another, everyone walked to the city, Zuo Zhangba personally led the team, led the people to resist the attack of the officers and soldiers.

The Yellow Turban sergeant was on the city wall, and from a distance, he could see the fire below the county town illuminating the ground as if it was daylight, and the officers and soldiers set up siege equipment and attacked the city wall. However, as soon as he gave the order, the officers and men stopped attacking and retreated one after another, and some of the Yellow Turban sergeants shouted: "We have repelled the enemy!! The crowd shouted and their morale was boosted.

In one night, the Han army charged five times, or rather, feinted five times, and in the early morning of the next day, Pei Yuanshao led his soldiers back. The feint attack this night was led by Pei Yuanshao and the battalion was in charge, and the rest of the men and horses rested early.

The Wushu battalion was busy all night, and began to rest after returning to the camp, but Zeng Yu sent the Ruishi battalion and the shooter battalion to the outside of the city wall, making a state of being ready to attack at any time, so that the Yellow Turban Army did not dare to relax at all.

Zuo Zhanghachi also understood the intentions of the officers and soldiers, so that the Yellow Turban Army did not have to pay attention to the feints of the officers and soldiers. But once they relaxed, when the officers and soldiers feinted, it turned into a real attack, and even once, taking advantage of the slackness of the Yellow Turban Army, the ladder was almost erected to the city wall, and in such a situation, it was impossible for the Yellow Turban Army to rest.

And even more at night, the officers and soldiers tried to make a big move, in all directions, are playing gold and drums, in the sound of war drums, you can still vaguely see the figures of the officers and soldiers, occasionally they feint, occasionally it is a real siege, without saying a word, directly set up a ladder, the siege vehicle directly hit the city gate, several times in the night, almost let the officers and soldiers climb the city wall.

But the officers and soldiers did not attack the city with all their might, and if there was a slight mistake, they would immediately retreat, but this kind of false siege method made the Yellow Turban Army in the city miserable. Zuo Zhangba thought of letting the people in Chengcheng defend the city, but these people were originally dissatisfied because the Yellow Turban Army had coerced them here, and the aborigines in the city had been robbed by the Yellow Turban Army not long ago, so they did not work hard when defending the city, because of this reason, on the night of the fourth day, they almost let the soldiers of the Wushu battalion climb the city wall.

Since then, Zuo Zhanghachi has also broken off the idea of letting the people defend the city, but just kept encouraging the soldiers under his command, telling them to persevere, and telling them that he had sent someone to Jizhou to ask for help, and asked them to wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

But until the seventh day, the Yellow Turban Army in Changzi County was driven crazy, and most of them were tired and inhuman, including Zuo Zhanghachi himself, who also became emaciated because of these days. The reinforcements were delayed, but the soldiers under his command were almost unable to hold on, and he now had some hopes that the officers and soldiers would attack the city as soon as possible, and really attack the city.

Guo Jia saw that the time was almost up, and told Zeng Yu that he could start the real siege today. Zeng Yu ordered the three major battalions of the unclothed army to act together, and used all the siege equipment built in the past few days to start the attack on the city.

When he saw the large army gathering outside the city, Zuo Zhanghachi knew that something was wrong, and the enemy was going to attack the city in an all-round way! Although he himself was exhausted, he still stood at the head of the city, constantly encouraging the Yellow Turban Army under his command.

"This is their last attack! They can't hold on! Fight them off! Victory!! He shouted as he brought in a large amount of possessions from the homes of wealthy men in the city, and now he rewarded his Yellow Turban soldiers with the last remaining strength to repel the attack.
