Chapter 500

It should be said that the strategy of the trial is still very simple and rude, first using rolling logs to attract the attraction of the defenders, and then letting Wen Chou rush up with soldiers and horses to burn the bridge and the surrounding baggage.

"What about the loss?" Seeing that Yan Shao's face was not very good-looking, Huang Zhong hurriedly asked.

The others also turned their heads to the side, which was the one they were most concerned about at the moment. The burning of the bridge meant that in the short term, it would be difficult for the soldiers and horses crossing the Yellow River to get sufficient food and grass supplies. If we don't get back to the same state as soon as possible, it's hard to say if anything will change here.

"The loss is very large..."Sneaking a glance at Yan Shao, the general bowed his head and said. Almost all of the bridges were burned, leaving only some wreckage still on the river. The baggage that had been transported from the south bank, except for what had been stored, was also burned..."

Na Wenchou led the soldiers and horses to rush over, and the first one to rush was to cross the bridge.

In this northern expedition to Jizhou, Yan Shao mobilized the forces of the whole state, including most of the troops in Qingzhou. The amount of grain and grass that needs to be consumed is astronomical, and many of the grains and grasses are transported from the south shore and stacked directly on the shore. It stands to reason that this is nothing, after all, Yan Shao's troops in front have besieged Pingyuan City, and no matter how powerful Zhang He is in the city, he can't threaten the Qingzhou army on the shore. Moreover, the consumption of materials is so great that many materials are piled up on the shore today and transported to the plain the next day.

Who would have thought that Wen Chou and the trial would actually play this hand.

As for Wen Chou? Although this guy is a little reckless, he is not an idiot, he can mix with the general of the Jizhou army, it is impossible to rely on extraordinary bravery alone, and he always has a little ability. When burning the bridge, seeing the mountains of materials piled up next to it, how could Wen Chou not start. Anyway, the burning of the bridge is also burning, and the burning of materials is also burning, and it does not take any time in itself, of course, it is burned all of them.

As for choosing one or the other? Only children can do multiple-choice questions, and adults will of course choose them all!

So after a fire, all the supplies that had been transported across the shore were burned to the ground...

"Zhang Qing! What about that bastard! Why didn't he come to see me! ”

Receiving such an answer, Yan Shao trembled angrily.

Not to mention those materials for the time being, the importance of crossing the bridge is self-evident, Yan Shao also told Zhang Qing about the importance of this pontoon bridge many times after crossing the Yellow River. Let him be careful and ensure the safety of the pontoon. After discovering Wen Chou and the 3,000 cavalry who were judged, he sent people to advise him several times, for fear that they would be negligent and negligent.

Who would have thought that such a thing would happen after such an admonition, how could this not make Yan Shao angry.

Especially Zhang Qing is still a subordinate general who has followed him for many years, which makes him even more angry.

After listening to Yan Shao's words, the general glanced at him with some embarrassment and replied hesitantly. "Back to the lord, when Wen Chou's army attacked, General Zhang led his troops to resist the enemy, but he was defeated by Wen Chou, and was beheaded by Wen Chou and died..."

In fact, Zhang Qing's arrangement is still very useful, and it has also brought a lot of trouble to Wen Chou, and what really makes Wen Chou able to treat the Qingzhou Army as nothing is Zhang Qing's death.

When there were rolling logs flowing down the river upstream, Zhang Qing had already realized that there would definitely be soldiers and horses to raid the direction of the pontoon bridge next, and hurriedly gathered soldiers and horses to prepare to meet the enemy, but he didn't expect Wen Chou to come so fast, in a hurry, Zhang Qing could only take the lead with his soldiers and horses. This can be regarded as a means of coping, as long as the enemy generals who come to attack at night can be killed, the current crisis will naturally be solved. And can be valued by Yan Shao, Zhang Qing still has some skills. The Qingzhou Army is known as a fierce general, although not all generals can be called fierce generals, but at least they still have some ability in their hands. This Zhang Qing's martial arts can almost be compared with Pei Yuanshao and others, and the martial arts are quite good. is also a little confident in his own ability, and he asks himself if the average military general is not his opponent.

I have to say that he can't be wrong about this idea, at least it is difficult for him to meet opponents in normal times. It's a pity that this time he met no one else, but Wen Chou...

Hebei Siting Zhu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Zhang He, how the ability of these four people to lead the army is not mentioned for the time being, but the martial arts are extraordinary. Among them, except for Gao Lan's evaluation, which may be a little controversial, almost all of the rest are fierce generals who have proven themselves, Zhang Qing's ability is not bad, but it can't be compared with Wen Chou at all.

Zhang Qing had just led the soldiers and horses to rush up, and he had already been cut off by Wen Chou in one round.

The Lord will be beheaded, and it is conceivable how big the blow to morale will be, except for a few Qingzhou troops led by Zhang Qing who are still trying their best to resist the enemy, the rest collapsed in an instant. The Qingzhou army on the shore was like a lamb when facing Wen Chou's three thousand iron horsemen, if it weren't for this, Wen Chou's hand would not be so easy...

After "........." heard that Zhang Qing had been killed, Yan Shao fell silent.

If Zhang Qing was still alive, needless to say, Yan Shao would definitely hold him responsible, even if he was an old subordinate who had followed him for many years. But what if a man dies like a lamp goes out, and now that all men are dead...

"How long will it take for the pontoon bridge to be rebuilt?" After being silent for a while, Yan Shao raised his head again.

"It will take about two or three days, because all the boats used to build the pontoon bridge before were boats to cross the river, and now we don't have enough boats in our hands, and we can barely build one, so it may take more time..."

"That's good..."Yan Shao bowed slightly. You continue to build the pontoon..."

After speaking, Yan Shao looked at Huang Zhong and the others. "We continue to increase the pressure on Pingyuan City, we must seize the city before Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses arrive, I want them to understand that this kind of stealing methods will not change anything..."

"Understood!"

Under Yan Shao's order, the army moved again. Because of the restrictions on information, few people in the army knew about the burning of the pontoon bridge, and when the war began, not everyone was in the mood to care about these issues. Dozens of trebuchets roared under the operation of the soldiers, and one after another stone bullets were smashed on the city wall. After the city wall was smashed into a mess, a large number of soldiers gradually approached the city wall under the cover of trebuchets and well railings, and the ladder was like the limbs of a centipede, frequently erected on the edge of the city wall, and there were even iron hooks and other things on it to help fix it.

The Jizhou army on the city wall didn't care about bowing their heads to avoid the baptism of stone bullets and arrows at this time, and they got up one after another, trying in vain to drive down the Qingzhou army that climbed up from the ladder, and even wanted to overthrow the ladder. Under the city walls, the number of fallen soldiers is also visible to the naked eye.

It's just that this time Yan Shao seemed to have made up his mind, and in the face of the gradually increasing casualties, he sent more troops...
