Chapter 341: Fight a tough battle

Yan Liang immediately hurried back.

However, this time he also thought that Zhang Yu might ambush him halfway, after all, Zhang Yu had several days to prepare, so he waited a little for Wen Chou and Gao Lan, who were only two hours away from them.

Yan Liang didn't believe that Zhang Yu could eat him in two hours.

Even if he has the ability, Yan Liang also admits it, the reason is very simple, he still has about 10,000 troops, how can it be delayed for two hours, and in the desperate situation, he is sure to fight Zhang Yu's thousands of men, and when Wen Chou and Gao Ran arrive, Zhang Yu will only have a dead end.

That's why Yan Liangcai quickly ordered to move forward.

And Zhang Yu in Yuanshou County had nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses in hand at this time, and he was laying a trap waiting for Yan Liang.

With the training talisman, Zhang Yu is not afraid of consumption, and he can fight with them a few times.

Previously, because he was afraid of too much loss of soldiers and horses, Zhang Yu retreated early when he ambushed Yan Liang, and this time he would not retreat easily.

Three days later, Yan Liang approached Yuanshou County, but to Yan Liang's expectation along the road, he was not attacked by the slightest, which surprised him.

Close to Yuanshou County, Yan Liang was more cautious, sending a lot of scouts, and he would also send people in to investigate the canyons and dense forests and other places.

"Could it be that Zhang Yu ran away?"

According to the news, Zhang Yu has not left in Yuanshou County all the time, but Zhang Yu did not ambush him on the road, which made him very strange.

Continue to move forward cautiously, and after another day, they are already more than twenty miles away from Yuanshou County, and they will soon be able to kill.

This time, Yan Liang acted cautiously, and Wen Chou and Gao Ran behind him hadn't caught up yet, so he stopped to rest.

At dawn, Yan Liang's army rested for half a night, and his strength recovered a lot.

"I have to go to the county seat." Yan Liang led his troops to the county seat.

He was very careful on the way, and sent scouts within twenty miles of each other.

"No ambush? Could it be that Zhang Yu and the others are all hiding in the county town, planning to defend to the death? Yan Liang thought.

Approaching the county, he saw that the gate of the county town was open, and the city was empty, and there were no pedestrians.

"Send a team of 100 people in and have a look." Yan Liang was afraid that the enemy would have an ambush, so he sent someone in.

"Sure enough, there was an ambush, Zhang Yu naively thought that I would be fooled by this simple scheme." The people who went in did not come out, and Yan Liang knew that there was an ambush in the city.

"Well, I found out, and I didn't come out?" Yan Liang waited outside for a quarter of an hour, but there was no movement inside, which made him very strange.

After waiting for a while, Yan Liang thought again: "Could it be that Zhang Yu just ambushed a small number of soldiers and horses inside?" The army is already hiding, or is his whole army inside? ”

Yan Liang became suspicious, because he couldn't understand what Zhang Yu was doing at all.

"No, I can't let Zhang Yu run, I will kill it, I will naturally know if I run, I will fight with him if I don't run, as long as I defend carefully, Wen Chou and Gao Ran can come in more than an hour." Yan Liang thought.

Yan Liang naturally informed the two of them when he set off.

"Attack."

In the end, Yan Liang still ordered to attack, he knew that Zhang Yu must have an ambush inside, but he still attacked.

Zhang Yu used Yang Mou, if Yan Liang didn't attack, when the time came, Zhang Yu would also retreat, anyway, there was an opportunity.

And Yan Liang was afraid that Zhang Yu would run away, so he attacked.

Yan Liang and the others were very careful, and the 2,000 people of the front army entered first, and then the army followed.

After the front army entered, Zhang Yu did not make a move until the rear army also entered thousands of people.

"Kill."

Zhang Yu gave an order, and the whole army attacked.

"Sure enough, there is an ambush, but will I be afraid of you?" Yan Liang had already guessed and immediately ordered the army to go on the defensive.

"Put."

At this time, a large number of archers suddenly appeared on the head of the city and fired arrows at the army in the city.

As soon as the archer appeared, Yan Liang's face darkened.

He always thought that Zhang Yu and they didn't have enough arrows, so they dared to do this.

Because Zhang Yu and they were alone in the depths, there were no supplies, and all the way over, the arrows should have been almost consumed.

But Yan Liang's estimation was wrong, Zhang Yu has a system, and he has as many arrows as he wants.

"Hold on, reinforcements will arrive soon." Yan Liang deserves to be the number one general in Jizhou, and immediately stabilized the army.

The army's position was steady, but the casualties continued to mount, and the archers at the head of the city kept attacking.

Then Zhang Yu and the others came from three directions, all the way to Yan Liang's formation.

"Hmph, arrogant, although I suffered heavy casualties, you are not comfortable, and you are the ones who suffer in the end."

Yan Liang commanded in the back, and when he saw Zhang Yu and their desperate attack, the casualties on both sides were very large.

His own casualties are large, Jizhou is so big, he can replenish anytime and anywhere, but Zhang Yu can't, so what Yan Liang is not afraid of is this kind of war of attrition.

Half an hour later, Yan Liang suffered more than 3,500 casualties, and Zhang Yu and them suffered about 1,000 casualties.

An hour later, the casualties increased further, Yan Liang's army suffered more than 5,800 casualties, while Zhang Yu's army also suffered more than 2,200 casualties.

The two sides fought for about half an hour, Yan Liang suffered more than 8,600 casualties, and Zhang Yu also suffered more than 4,000 casualties.

"Prepare to retreat." Zhang Yu calculated the time, and it was about the same, so he ordered a retreat.

"If you want to run, it's not that easy, kill me."

Seeing that Zhang Yu and the others wanted to run, Yan Liang commanded the few remaining soldiers and horses to kill them.

"Not good, there is an ambush."

After chasing two streets, more than a thousand archers suddenly appeared on both sides and attacked them.

At this time, Yan Liang had more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, and he couldn't stop it at all, so he was pressed back.

Yan Liang didn't dare to pursue, so he could only stop.

"Lord, why are you running, in half an hour, we will definitely be able to eat them all." Dian Wei said remorsefully.

"There is no point in eating them, the most important thing is to preserve the strength, today we have 8,000 men and horses to destroy them, Yan Liang is a waste all the way, find a chance to eat them all the way to the soldiers, Yuan Shao will have nothing to do with us." Zhang Yu said.

It will take about half an hour to eat Yan Liang, and in another half an hour, Wen Chou and Gao Ran will definitely be able to rush over, and then Zhang Yu will have to face more than twice as many soldiers and horses as them, and if they want to kill them, the casualties will definitely be very large.

Dian Wei didn't say anything more, Zhang Yu led them out of another city gate, and then ran away with the army.

Zhang Yu and the others ran out for about a quarter of an hour, and Gao Ran came with soldiers and horses.

"General Yan Liang, it's too late." Gao Ran arrived and couldn't help but palpitate when he saw the tragic battlefield.

Yan Liang's face was somewhat angry, he was ambushed, and the casualties were so great.

"General Gao, Zhang Yu just left, and it's still too late to catch up at this time." Yan Liang said.

"Okay, General Yan guards the city, I'll chase after it."

Gao Ran calculated, although Zhang Yu and the others won, but the casualties were also more than 4,000, thinking that Zhang Yu had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, so he chased after them.
