Chapter 269: A Defense Desperately Strong

"I have also heard about this matter, and later many people speculated, saying that this was actually Li Su's Taohui technique, and he deliberately pretended to be mediocre before, but he was actually unwilling to work for Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, until Pei Qinghui saw Ying and recruited him into his account, and he really revealed his ability." Gao Ran still didn't want to believe Zhang He's speculation, so he told the most reasonable explanation he had heard about the changes in Li Su's ability.

However, Zhang He shook his head and said: "Things will not be so simple, since this Li Su was willing to fight bravely with Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo, this proves that he has shown his ability, but that's all, later when he fought with Pei Qing in Feng County, he didn't see him brilliant, if he didn't want to take refuge in Pei Qing, he later became the commander of Pei Qing's guard, if he wanted to take refuge in Pei Qing, if he wanted to take refuge in Pei Qing, would he be able to show his ability?" So it can be seen that he didn't have much ability at that time, but later he became so strong, isn't it strange that the changes before and after? ”

"That's exactly what I said." Gao Ran nodded after hearing this, but he still felt incredulous, and then said, "But this kind of thing is too strange, right?" I still can't believe it. ”

"Hehe, what if you believe it or not? Anyway, Pei Qing's command is full of talents, this is an indisputable fact, in this case, if our army wants to win, it is simply impossible, in fact, what I am more worried about now is that Gao Taishou will suffer a greater fiasco this time. ”

"Huh? How is this possible? Brother Jun, you must know that this time Gao Gan himself brought 15,000 troops, how many people are there in Hanoi City? Now Xun You has brought out at least two or three thousand people, right? In other words, there are at most one or two thousand people in the city, right? Such a large comparison of troops, even if it is a direct attack, I am afraid that a meal can break through Yewang City, if it is calculated in this way, it is estimated that Yewang City has already been captured by our army, speaking of which, I suddenly thought of a point, this is actually the real purpose of Gao Gan, right? Relying on us to drag Xun You's main force, and then he led the main force to storm Yewang City, so the fault is all ours, and he has the great merit of attacking the city alone, I really didn't expect this guy to be so bad. ”

The more Gao Ran spoke, the more angry he became, and in the end, he couldn't help but scold, he fought with all his heart and soul, but this Gao Gan kept calculating them, and even sacrificed the lives of thousands of people in exchange for his own merits, which is chilling to think about.

However, he saw Zhang He and said lightly: "Brother Gao Xian, these are just your own guesses, and there is no factual basis, why are you so excited?" Besides, even if our guess is correct? Although Gao Gan has calculated us, but he will definitely not be able to capture Yewang City, think about it, how cautious and meticulous is Xun You? Since they can all guess that I will attack Xun You's military formation, so that the elite soldiers who will be specially subordinate there are waiting for our attack, then it is impossible for him to have no arrangements in Yewang City, and even I believe that his deployment there will also be beyond our imagination, that is to say, Xun You will be ten percent sure that Yewang City will not be captured, and such a deployment will definitely not be much worse than what we encounter here, and it may even be even worse. ”

"Ten percent? So sure? Gao Ran's heart was shocked, thinking that Zhang He's statement was unbelievable.

And in fact, Zhang He was not right at all, Gao Gan launched a fierce attack on Yewang City with several times the advantage of the defenders, but the result was not as easy as he imagined, the head of the city was just a young man of about twenty years old, weak and weak, and the milk smell had not dried up, but he commanded the soldiers to block his successive waves of attacks, so that he suffered heavy losses, these waves of attacks, Gao Gan had nearly 3,000 soldiers killed and wounded, which made his soldiers lose nearly 20%.

However, Gao Gan still gritted his teeth and personally supervised the battle, ordering the soldiers to capture Yewang City at all costs.

However, Gao Gan was helpless to find that no matter how fierce his offensive momentum was, he could never firmly occupy the city, and the defenders fought back against the siege soldiers as if they were crazy.

"Although it is only one step away, but this step away is like a moat, the opponent's defense is so tight, it can be said that it is solid, solid as a rock, this city defense is so strong that people are desperate, it's not that I don't do my best, it's really our army's losses are too serious, it's only less than half an hour, and nearly 5,000 people have been lost, if I continue to fight, I'm afraid I have to explain all my men and horses here."

Although Gao Gan can not care about the lives of the soldiers, but nearly thirty percent of the casualties are too amazing, even if he captures Yewang City, he still needs to rely on these soldiers to help defend the city, and because of the large number of casualties of the soldiers, now the army's heart has been shaken, even if he really orders to continue the attack, how many soldiers will still obey the order? Even he has no bottom in his own heart.

"I don't know what happened to Zhang He and Gao Ran, but I think that even if they encountered an ambush, they should have broken through early with the skills of the two of them, but why is there no trace yet? If they can come first, I still have hope of attacking the city, after all, without Zhang He Gaolan, the combat power of the generals in the army will be greatly reduced, which will give the defenders a chance, if Zhang He Gaolan comes back, maybe they can capture Yewang City today. ”

Gao Gan has never been more eager for the arrival of Zhang He and Gao Ran than now, but they have not arrived for a long time, which makes Gao Gan even more worried, if in another half an hour, Zhang He and Gao Ran have not arrived, then he can only choose to retreat.

Just when Gao Gan was worried, he suddenly saw the smoke and dust rolling up in front of him, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, it seemed that Zhang He and Gao Ran had finally returned, and he saw through the smoke and dust that the army was relatively neat, which meant that they were not defeated, which was naturally good news, because in this way, he could reorganize his troops and horses and fight again.

But almost at the same time, Gao Gan's heart became uncomfortable, he lost his troops this time, but Zhang He and Gao Ran were not defeated, so where did he put his face?

After some thought, Gao Gan finally figured it out, when he reported his exploits to Yuan Shao, he said that this was his own plan, and he dragged the defenders in the city with a small number of troops, which was in exchange for a big victory for Zhang He Gaoran, but the two did not fully listen to their orders, resulting in a complete victory in this battle.

And just when Gao Gan was still thinking about how to use conspiracy and trickery to frame Zhang He and Gao Ran and save his face, he saw that the other party's army suddenly sounded drums, and then saw that the army rushed towards them who were unprepared like a tide.

"It's not good, the thief Zhang He Gaolan has surrendered to the thief army, everyone retreat quickly." Gao Gan didn't react until this time, and hurriedly ordered a retreat, but even then he didn't forget to slander Zhang He and Gao Ran to find an excuse for his defeat.
