Chapter 979 Target Changshan County

Zhang Yu held a meeting in front of the tent for more than an hour, and then let those young generals go back to rest, and only after resting could they have the energy to fight the next day.

The information continued to be sent to Zhang Yu.

The Yuan family was very sad at this time, and fought several big battles with Cao Cao in the south, lost several cities, and even lost hundreds of thousands of troops.

More than 100,000 troops, although the Yuan family has now recovered to seven or eight hundred thousand troops, but this combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the previous army.

The Yuan family no longer has a famous general to lead them, so the training naturally can't keep up.

To equip so many troops, money and food are also consumed.

The Yuan brothers sincerely cooperated, and they just wanted to keep their own family, but now how could Cao Cao allow such a situation to exist.

Cao Cao attacked quickly, and several tiger generals came out of prison like fierce tigers, quickly sweeping away several cities.

Zhang Yu held the information in his hand, and his army gradually moved into place.

Zhang Liao also led a large army to attack.

Zhang Yu and they were divided into two ways.

"You can't be compared to Cao Cao."

There is no need for this kind of competition on the battlefield, but Zhang Yu just wants to fight.

If nothing else, the outcome of this battle has no effect, even if Zhang Yu wins Cao Cao, it will be like a fighting spirit.

But the army needs a dynamism to make them competitive.

"Tell the soldiers that Cao Cao has fought more cities in the south than we do." Zhang Yu suddenly yelled and said to the guards outside the door.

When the guards heard this, they all hurried to give orders.

When the soldiers heard the news, they all held their breath.

"This Cao Cao has a lot of soldiers and horses."

"Tomorrow we must take down the city, and we can't disappoint the lord."

"How can the lord be worse than Cao Cao, and he will attack the city in one breath tomorrow."

"Whoever doesn't give me a hard time tomorrow, Lao Tzu will whip him."

"Tell the soldiers that tomorrow the city must be broken."

Zhang Yu's simple words mobilized the emotions of the soldiers.

The morale of the soldiers was high, and after a night, it was still so.

The next day, the army re-entered the battle, but above the military formation, there seemed to be a thick murderous aura.

Yuan Jun at the head of the city looked at the bottom and was very surprised, why there was a significant change overnight.

The general defending the city was a little worried, he had long known that this city could not be defended, but he had to defend it for a few days if he surrendered or broke through.

Originally, the 50,000 defenders were expected to be able to hold for a while, and if they were broken through on the second day of the battle, his generals would not be of much value.

Zhang Yu naturally didn't expect that there would be several changes in the guard's mind, and after the army set up a formation, Zhang Yu gave the order to attack.

"Kill."

The shouts of killing were louder several times, and the army rushed forward.

It was Fusang's army that went up first, and they set up a ladder and began to storm the city.

At the same time, Dian Wei also launched another attack.

"If you don't break through the city today, go back and train you to death." Dian Wei roared, and with his dark face, he was extremely imposing.

The soldiers were also mobilized, shouting, and rushing to kill.

The walls were under heavy assault on all sides, as if they were not allowed to live.

Bearing such an attack, the defenders were helpless, he couldn't take care of a few city walls alone, and some other generals were not very capable.

But so what, so much more.

As soon as the offensive began, it entered a white heat, and the army defending the city was under tremendous pressure.

After a few rounds of arrows, the soldiers on the city were emptied a lot.

Then Zhang Yu's army pounced again, and then another fierce attack of arrows.

After going back and forth several times, the city was already crumbling.

At the same time, several places in the head of the city were breached.

After the breakthrough, those young generals let their armies go up.

Although the Fuso people are crazy, they have not been trained for a long time, how can their combat power be compared to them.

When Youzhou's army joined, its combat effectiveness immediately increased.

More and more soldiers were slaughtering the city.

The head of the city turned into a bloody battle.

In the end, one of the city walls was occupied by Zhang Yu's army, and at this time, Dian Wei couldn't help it and led people to climb the city wall.

Once they had reached the walls, they attacked the other walls.

With the strict military formation and the crazy Fusang army, the bloody battle at the head of the city began.

The guards tried to stop them, but they couldn't, so they could only retreat one after another.

More and more of the city was occupied by Zhang Yu's army.

The defender already knew that it was over, and that he was not capable of driving the enemy down.

The army was again compressed, and in the end they were driven off the city walls instead.

After being driven off the city wall, the defenders gave up and retreated around the county government first, preparing to break through after concentrating their men.

But it was no longer possible, the army from outside was still surrounding it, and after the city gate was breached, the army came in.

Yuan's army was defeated, and without a general to lead them, these soldiers immediately collapsed.

Zhang Yu didn't kill too much, he killed for a while, and broke more than 10,000 people.

When it was still two hours before dark, Zhang Yu and the others broke through the city.

As soon as this city was breached, this Zhongshan County was divided into two halves.

Zhang Yu rode into the city, this kind of siege battle does not require him to personally lead people to climb the city, and he is in control of the overall situation.

"These soldiers will be escorted back, and they will all participate in the construction of roads, and they can be released after three years." Zhang Yu ordered the disposal of this group of surrendered troops.

Killing and surrendering soldiers has no effect, and it will not be safe to live if they are released, so it is better to pull them all to build roads, and they will be released after three years.

These are free labor, and they don't even need wages, and of course, in terms of food, Zhang Yu will not abuse them.

Zhang Yu quickly captured the city, and then let the army rest in the city.

Just a day later, Zhang Yu turned his troops to the west.

In the south, Zhang Liao led a large army to attack, and he was not needed yet.

Wangducheng is not far from the past, and it is Changshan County.

Changshan County is very important, and Zhang Yu is bound to win.

Because of the occupation of Changshan County, Zhang Yu was able to form a kind of suppression in the north and comprehensively suppress the south.

The south is where the essence of Jizhou is located, and not far away is Cao Cao's rear.

With the formation of a huge suppressive force in the north, Zhang Yu can take the initiative strategically.

Cao Cao naturally also understood that if Changshan County was occupied by Zhang Yu, then Zhang Yu would also form a semi-encircled circle against them in the north.

Zhang Yu can drive all the soldiers and horses in Youzhou, and Youzhou doesn't need to put many soldiers and horses.

Zhang Yu's front line expanded outward for hundreds of miles.

Once a strategic suppression is formed, as long as Zhang Yu puts more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou, the rest of the soldiers and horses can be pulled out.

In this way, Youzhou has become a large rear, as long as it can prevent the Huns from sneaking attack, then there is no need for many troops.

It is not so easy for the Huns to sneak attack, even if they sneak attack, they can't threaten Zhang Yu, at most they will loot and leave, which has no impact on strategy.

"Cao Mengde, in this north, we still have to compete for the high."

Zhang Yu rested for a day and then led the army to Changshan County, if this Changshan County was in hand, Zhang Yu's rear would be stable.
