Chapter 496

Looking at the defenders who were still holding on to the city wall, Yan Shao couldn't help but show a helpless expression.

|β€œ I didn't expect the soldiers and horses under Yuan Shao's account to be so tenacious, and they are still holding on for so long..."No wonder Yan Shao sighed like this, in his impression, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses have always been not very strong.

Let's not mention the Hebei soldiers and horses for the time being, after all, it is still very different from reality, and Yan Shao will not be the kind of person who confuses it with reality. Over the years, most of the conflicts between the Qingzhou Army and the Jizhou Army ended in the victory of the Qingzhou Army, and the performance of the Jizhou Army can only be described as unsatisfactory.

This can be regarded as deepening Yan Shao's impression that the Jizhou army cannot fight, and Yuan Shao's frequent defeats in battles with Gongsun Zan of Youzhou also seem to confirm his opinion. In terms of property, Jizhou is much richer than Youzhou, and there are two or three times more soldiers and horses. But now Gongsun Chan is still alive and well, except for the incompetence of the Jizhou army, Yan Shao can't think of any other reason.

But now?

The stones thrown by the trebuchet were almost piled up on the city wall, and the soldiers and horses of the Jizhou army were still resisting stubbornly, and the number of arrows fired was no less than that of the Qingzhou army. Looking at the dense arrow shafts under the city wall, Yan Shao rubbed his head.

|β€œ Lord! At this moment, a young looking general came on horseback, came to Yan Shao, rolled off his horse and knelt down on one knee.

"What's the matter?"

The general clasped his hands into fists and said respectfully. "The spies came to report that they had discovered reinforcements from Plains City!"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Yan Shao and the people around him suddenly refreshed.

The reinforcements that may appear in Plains City have always been the object of Yan Shao's key concern. No one wants to be attacked on both sides when they are attacking a city, and that's no joke.

Although Yan Shao didn't value Yuan Shao very much, he would not despise this overlord of Hebei. Especially how Yuan Shao didn't say it, those advisers under him were by no means easy to behold, and they couldn't be despised either.

Now that he heard the news, Yan Shao suddenly had an idea in his heart that he was still coming.

"Where are they?"

"I don't know yetβ€”" The general shook his head, his face a little confused. The spies found only traces of their horses' hooves, but this trace suddenly changed direction about thirty miles from us..."

The movement of thousands of cavalry must be very large, this does not need to be considered...

No matter where they are, thousands of people pass by, and the traces are difficult to hide. But this is not to say that it really can't be done, compared to this world, the whereabouts of thousands of people are nothing, not to mention that there are such strategists in the company this time?

The plain has always been under the control of the Jizhou army, and the review is well aware of the surrounding geographical environment, so it is not very difficult to get rid of the tracking of the spies.

Those spies who were waiting for them all the way followed the trail, but after chasing for a long time, they still lost the chase, and they could only run back to report the news...

"I don't want the Jizhou army to be so cunning...", glancing at the city in the distance again, Gan Ning said beside Yan Shao. Lord, it's just a few thousand rides, and I can't get anything out of it..."

"Thousands of cavalry, naturally, they can't be compared with my tens of thousands of troops..."Yan Shao shook his head, his expression was slightly serious. But to say that you can't get any trouble out of it, this is to underestimate them..."

Thousands of cavalry, no matter what the circumstances, is definitely not a small force. Such a force may, to some extent, even change the outcome of a campaign. I can't help Yan Shao not to pay attention to it, he still wants to be the winner.

If he knew that there was a match among the people who led the army this time, he was afraid that he would pay more attention to itβ€”β€”β€”β€” if it was just Wen Chou, then there would be nothing to pay attention to.

There's no way, there are brave and unscrupulous horsemen in these years, only suitable for charging into battle, and someone still needs someone to hold the rope, otherwise if you are not careful, you will hit your head and break your blood. And Wen Chou, even among the puppets, is notoriously unwise.

"Triple the number of scouts and find out this cavalry for me..."After being silent for a while, Yan Shao said softly.

Although the sound was not very loud, and there was a noise around, the people around could still hear it clearly, and they didn't dare to take it as a deaf ear.

"Yes!"

Yan Shao didn't continue to pay attention to these people, just looked at the city in the distance, and muttered silently in his heart.

"What are these thousands of people going to do..."

At this time, Yan Shao really missed his strategists very much. If they were around now, they could ask for advice, at least a few people could help them think about it, and they wouldn't have such a headache.

Unfortunately, several of his advisors are not around now, and even if they are called back, it will take some time. Now before these strategists come back, the only thing Yan Shao can hope for is that the scouts under his command can find those cavalry of the Jizhou army as soon as possible...

After receiving Yan Shao's order, hundreds of scouts began to divide the number of more than thirty batches and began to spread in the direction of the surrounding plains, hoping to find these hellish Jizhou cavalry.

However...

Maybe in the game, Plains City isn't very big, at best it's a one-block position, or a few rounds of travel distance. But in this damn real world, the area of the plains is a little scary.

In fact, it's also simple, as long as you imagine the city you are in, together with the surrounding suburbs, you can imagine how big the area of Pingyuanjun is. Damn it, this era is very primitive, and the highest thing around it is the so-called mountain. In addition, it is a relatively primitive era, and the forest and other vegetation are very dense, and there is no trace of artificial cutting, which directly leads to a problem. If thousands of people are hiding, it is really difficult to find.

What the? You say that there are too many thousands of people to hide at all?

In fact, you just have to think about it, when you go to school, the number of people when you go out for exercise, it's about the same...

Those schools with a large number of students can almost have thousands of students, and the so-called thousands of cavalry are only the number of students in a few schools. Considering the size of the plains, wouldn't it be difficult to hide?

However, at this time, the judge did not deliberately hide, on the contrary, after taking Wen Chou and them for a while, they came to the north bank of the Yellow River and started to be not very happy lumberjacks.
