After Zhang Ming won the two counties, he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill other places.

It's about building defenses, redeploying.

Zhang Ming wants to mobilize the soldiers and horses in Youzhou and turn this place into a front-line position.

In this way, the only force available can be used to the fullest.

Some cities in Youzhou abandoned their defenses and concentrated their forces.

So Zhang Ming stayed in Zhongshan County for several days, and after the grain, grass, soldiers and horses in the rear were transported over and stabilized, Zhang Ming began to study the map again.

Zhang Ming and Guan Yu have already coordinated to attack Hejian County together.

At this time, Hejian County had been surrounded on three sides, all of which were surrounded by Zhang Ming and them.

Yuan Shao: Their core area has been threatened.

Hejian County certainly won't last long.

The third son of the Yuan family has been arresting people everywhere, arresting people as soldiers, and frantically expanding his troops.

However, people of insight know that this will only reduce the combat effectiveness of the army, and the effect is not very large.

Zhang Ming's army quickly rushed towards Hejian County.

The army in Riverland had been very worried a few days earlier.

They called for help three times a day.

Hejian County, which is Zhang Ming's territory on three sides, was almost surrounded.

As soon as Zhang Ming occupied two counties, they asked for help.

Later, when he couldn't ask for help, he simply asked for a retreat.

Yecheng, at this time, Yuan Shao was no longer able to serve and was dying.

The three brothers and the people gathered together to discuss important matters.

"The three sons, we can't let the troops of Hejian County withdraw, they can delay time there."

"It should be withdrawn and the defenses of Yecheng should be strengthened."

"You can't withdraw it, you can't withdraw it, in less than five days, Zhang Ming will be in the city, and we will all be trapped here."

"The three sons should retreat to the west now, resist step by step, and if they can't do so, they should retreat into the state."

There is no consensus at all.

At this time, there is no way to agree which of the three brothers is older and who is smaller, and all kinds of subordinates have soldiers and horses, and no one obeys anyone.

Yuan Shao was seriously ill and it was difficult to even speak at this time, so he couldn't do it at all.

Yuan's Group is facing a major crisis.

The three sons of the Yuan family, at this time, everyone wants to dominate, and everyone wants to inherit Yuan Shao's position, but at the same time, none of them obey anyone.

It turned out that Yuan Shao's subordinates began to choose sides, and the internal division was divided into three forces.

Some people who understand have already seen that the Yuan family is not long from extinction.

In Yecheng, everyone hasn't come up with a plan yet.

And Zhang Ming and Guan Yu have already entered Hejian County.

Watching the wind all the way, many cities did not need to be fought at all, and the enemy opened the city gates themselves.

Xu Huang complained: "Lord, this is the fourth county town we have conquered, three of them directly opened the city and surrendered, and one attacked the enemy in less than half an hour. ”

Xu Huang, who may have been with Zhang Fei for a long time, is also very belligerent.

Warlike and belligerent, Zhang Ming ignored him and continued to lead the troops.

Guan Yu and the others are relatively close to Lecheng, the county town of Hejian County, and they have already arrived there.

"A group of stunned people, open the city gate for Lao Tzu." As soon as he arrived, Zhang Fei couldn't wait to call for battle.

Zhang Fei shouted, his voice was loud, and the people in the city were really frightened.

At this time, they had no support, facing the army.

The defenders in the city also knew that they had gathered the forces of the surrounding cities before, and there were more than 30,000 defenders in the city at this time.

However, more than 30,000 people, when there is no hope for foreign aid, they are also very afraid.

"Second brother, their strength must not be strong, we might as well fight first, so as to save trouble with the eldest brother."

Zhang Fei was afraid of troublesome Zhang Ming, but worried that there would be no battle to fight when Zhang Ming came.

"Don't try to mess around, everything is up to Big Brother."

Zhang Fei was afraid that Zhang Ming and Guan Yu would not be able to fight, so Zhang Fei called the battle and had a good time.

He kept shouting and scolding under the city, and when he was tired, he asked a few soldiers to come.

The people of the city were scolded to the fullest, but no one dared to fight.

If this continues, their morale can only plummet.

Other places were bulldozed all the way by Zhang Ming.

Yuan's army was unstoppable, and a few days later, Zhang Ming was killed under the city.

At this time, in Lecheng, the officers and soldiers were very afraid.

Zhang Ming arrived.

Put on a position.

Guan Zhang and Zhao all came to visit.

"Big brother, it's coming, when will we attack the city."

Zhang Fei couldn't wait.

Zhang Ming glanced at everyone, and then said: "In this battle, try to minimize casualties, Cao Cao has already gone north, and we will definitely meet it." ”

"That thief, he actually dares to grab land with us, Lao Tzu wants to fight with Lu Bu for three hundred rounds." Zhang Fei said angrily.

Zhang Ming didn't bother to pay attention to him, he said to everyone: "Set up a formation, coerce for two days, let them open the city and surrender, if they don't surrender, attack from all sides, and break the city as soon as possible." ”

The armies began to swing out, and the soldiers called for battle.

Naturally, the army in the city did not dare to fight.

Faced with nearly 100,000 enemy troops, the army in the city was already afraid.

They have been terrified for days.

There were deserters in some other counties for a long time, and when Taishou ordered them to come to the county seat, some of them fled directly.

A message for help was sent very early, but Yecheng did not come to a single soldier and did not let them retreat.

Without support, the morale of the soldiers in the city was quite low.

Zhang Ming asked Zhang Fei to challenge.

"The shrunken turtle in the city, come out and fight with your grandfather Zhang."

"If you don't fight, open the city gate quickly, and wait for your grandfather Zhang to enter, regardless of the soldiers, all the officers will be arrested and castrated, and they will work as coolies for another ten years."

"Listen to the soldiers in the city, we will not kill the prisoners, but if we can't fight, we will surrender quickly, so as not to die in vain."

Zhang Fei called for two days outside the city and passed on everything Zhang Ming wanted to say.

The officers in the city were immediately panicked.

Is the city about to be castrated?

It's cruel, isn't it?

And the soldiers are also afraid, if they really surrender, they will not kill?

For two days, it was very tormenting, and Zhang Ming directly broke through their fragile psychological defense.

Two days have passed, and the city gates have not been opened, and the people in the city are already panicking.

At this time, Zhang Ming began to prepare for the attack.

Four city gates, several generals with a large army to attack together.

"It's coming, it's coming."

"The enemy is too strong."

"It's so strong."

As soon as they started to charge, many people in Yuan Jun were scared, and they couldn't help but think about how powerful Zhang Ming and them were.

The officers also had no confidence at all, because they knew that without reinforcements, they really couldn't hold much.

The rain of arrows opens the way first.

Many soldiers were so frightened that they ran around, and some of the officers were immobile.

The soldiers are all new recruits, and they are not very cooperative.

"Kill."

"Rush, rush up to Lao Tzu and kill these useless guys."

Zhang Fei scolded and let the soldiers charge.

The other generals also gave a death order to let all the soldiers charge.

The armies burst out with strong combat effectiveness and charged with arrows.

In the beginning, the soldiers at the head of the city could still fight under the command of the generals.

When deserters appeared everywhere, many people were scared.

"Run."

"Surrender, surrender will not die."

"The enemy is too strong."

The powerful impression has been deeply rooted in their hearts, and the psychological warfare has been fought for a long time, and at this time, some people can't hold it anymore and then they infect others.
