Chapter 80: The Wuhuan Cavalry Arrives

Then everyone entered the city one after another, and returned to the Thorn History Mansion, Zhang Yan asked some things about Chu Feiyu and Huzi, Zhang Yan is now Zhang Jie's eldest brother, there was a bit of estrangement before, but now it has also opened, after all, he is also Feiyu's sister, Zhang Jie is Huzi's father.

Zhang Jie had a total of 60,000 people, but 2,000 were killed and wounded when crossing the river, and more than 5,000 were killed and wounded during the siege of the city, plus Qi Zhou, Wei You, 8,000 people, and Gongsun Zhan's 10,000 captured 3,000 people were willing to join the Jizhou army, and the rest were all released after the city wall was repaired. Most of the more than 10,000 people brought by Zhang Yan are in Shanggu, so Zhang Jie's current troops in Jixian County are more than 65,000 people.

Zhang Jie appointed Hao Zhao to guard Jixian County and gave him 15,000 men.

With the remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses, he went to attack Youbeiping, and at this time Zhang Jie didn't know that Gongsun Zhan had asked Wuhuan to help in the battle.

The 50,000-strong army stretched for several kilometers, and of course it couldn't be hidden from Gongsun Zhan. When the army was about to arrive at Tuyin City, Gongsun Zan repeatedly asked Shan Jing, where did the Wuhuan army go? Shan Jing had no choice but to say that the army was about to arrive, and it can be seen that Gongsun Chan has now become a frightened bird.

Tian Kai was really disappointed to see him like this, there were 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city who were scared like this, Tian Kai said: Please personally lead all the cavalry out of the city, and when Zhang Jie attacks the city, use the cavalry to contain him, but don't fight with him.

Now Gongsun Chan still has more than 5,000 cavalry in the city, and it would be an absolute waste if so many cavalry were put in the city, so Tian Kai asked Gongsun Chan to personally lead the team, but he didn't expect Gongsun Chan to hesitate. In fact, in history, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao also had an advantage at the beginning of the struggle for hegemony. However, after the Battle of Longcuo, Gongsun Zhan's spirit suddenly decreased, and he adopted a self-preservation strategy, gradually losing the trust of his subordinates and was defeated by Yuan Shao.

In the end, he was trapped in a high-rise building and set himself on fire. It can be seen that Gongsun Chan is not a person with a ruined character. He is far worse than Liu Bei, Liu Bei is more and more courageous and never gives up. And Gongsun Chan only needs to lose once or twice before losing confidence.

Tian Kaidao: Tuyin City is not as tall as Jixian County, if all the accommodation in the city will be the same as Jixian County, only let the horse contain the enemy army to attack the city, in order to hold it, and the garrison force is enough, too much can not accommodate ah. Of course, Gongsun Chan knew this, but now he was a little afraid of death, so he hesitated. But Tian Kai said that when it came to this, he had no choice but to say: Okay, I will personally lead the cavalry outside the city, and go with me, Tian Kai, Guan Jing, and Zou Dan will defend the city. The crowd called No!

When Zhang Jie's soldiers and horses came to the right Beiping Tuyin City, he saw that the Tuyin City was smaller than Jixian County, and the city wall was shorter, but it was not easy to attack. Because the defenders are not less than Jixian, and the city wall is much shorter, which shows that the density of defenders on the city wall is higher, if you guard four city walls, you can put 5,000 people on each wall, and you can almost stand on the city wall next to each person.

Zhang Jie said to the soldiers: It seems that it is another vicious battle! The army set up camp five miles outside the city. Send more scouts to check the surrounding situation.

Soon there will be reports from Tanma: Gongsun Chan has a cavalry not far outside the city, numbering about five or six thousand.

Zhang Jie said to Jia Xu: It seems that Gongsun Chan has learned wisely, and knows that he has been harassed by cavalry, Wen Chang, you go and arrange the defense of the camp tent, don't let Gongsun Chan sneak attack. Promise!

Zhang Jie said: If there are only these thousands of cavalry, I won't be afraid, what I'm worried about is that Gongsun Chan has no bottom line and will attract the Wuhuan cavalry.

Frustrated: No, Gongsun Chan is the merit of pacifying Wuhuan, it was Zhang Chun who lured Qiu Liju, the leader of Wuhuan in Liaoxi, to rebel in the first place, and it was Gongsun Chan and others who pacified it, how could he collude with Wuhuan?

Zhang Jie said: People are sometimes like a gambler, when they lose everything, no one knows whether he will put his life on the line.

So let's send more cavalry detectives to investigate, no matter what, pay attention to any situation in the surrounding dozens of miles.

Gongsun Zhan also set up camp ten miles away from Zhang Jie, he listened to Tian Kai's advice, did not take the initiative to find Zhang Jie for a decisive battle, and only planned to harass Zhang Jie when he attacked the city.

And Zhang Jie and Jia Xu in his own tent were discussing how to deal with Gongsun Zhan's cavalry. If you don't solve this cavalry, there is no way to attack the city with peace of mind, and Gongsun Chan is now starting to fight guerrillas, so it's not easy to do.

Jia Xu said: General Zilong also has nearly 5,000 cavalry, but if he fights with Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, it is not advantageous, Gongsun Zhan's white horse Congyi still has more than 1,000 in Jixian County last time, and he has rich experience, and he has been fighting with Gongsun Zhan for many years, so he can't let the cavalry take risks, it's not worth it. Otherwise, let's make an ambush and let General Zilong besiege and kill Gongsun Chan from behind.

Zhang Jie said: How to ambush, the mountains in this place are all small soil, and it is not easy to ambush. Jia Xu said: The reason why Gongsun Chan didn't look for us to fight a decisive battle was because he wanted to wait for our army to attack the city and then kill from behind, so that our army could not attack the city with peace of mind. Since this is the case, then fulfill him, let's let some soldiers and horses feint first, let General Ju's crossbowmen lie in ambush behind the siege troops and spread their nets, and when Gongsun Zhan's cavalry comes to attack the siege troops, General Ju shoots head-on, and then let Zilong's cavalry surround Gongsun Zhan's back road in a roundabout way. Zhang Jie listened and said: Good, as long as Gongsun Chan is fooled, he will definitely lose a lot. It's hard to let Zilong shoot him.

At this moment, the scout came to report that a large number of cavalry were coming to the mound thirty miles to the north, which should be Wuhuan people, and the number was about 20,000.

Zhang Jie couldn't help frowning when he heard the news. Dao: Damn, Gongsun Chan is really a traitor.

Jia Xu said: If there are really only 20,000 riders, and you can still deal with it, I'm afraid there will be one later. Zhang Jie said to the scout: Reward him with ten gold, and order to send more scouts to investigate and see if there is a large team of people behind Wu Huan. Promise!

Jia Xu said: We are about to rearrange the camp tent and let Zhang He do it, and keep it well.

Zhang Jie said: Come on, call all the generals to come to discuss the matter, go quickly. In a few moments, everyone came to the tent.

Zhang Jie said: Gongsun Chan has become a traitor, and the 20,000 cavalry of Wuhuan are already thirty miles away, and they are about to arrive at Tuyin City. You can do it when you build a camp, and the generals will listen to your arrangement, and you must do more to reject the horse deer village, mainly to prevent the cavalry from attacking. Ju Yi, your crossbowmen must be ready to meet the enemy at any time, and take a defensive position first to guard against a sneak attack by Wuhuan. Zilong, don't take the initiative to attack the Wuhuan cavalry for the time being, we don't understand the situation yet, take precautions first, and wait until we find out the situation. Everyone cheer up, we must have the confidence to win, and we will kill Wuhuan with one word.

After the generals went down, Zhang Jie said to the two military advisors: How can we destroy these 20,000 cavalry?

Jia Xu said: If Wuhuan only came with 20,000 horses, it means that Wuhuan only intends to help Gongsun Chan hold the existing territory, and does not plan to destroy us all, so it can be seen that Wuhuan does not fully trust Gongsun Zhan, but it is too much to underestimate us if he wants to drive away our army with only 20,000 people.
