Chapter 628: Night Attack
Zhang Yu has been away for a few months, and the changes are huge.
When I return to Jiangdong, I will soon become a father.
However, Zhang Yu does not have much time to spend with his wife and children.
After going ashore at night, Zhang Yu took the soldiers and horses to the front line.
On the front line, there is still a big war.
Gao Shun joined forces with Ling Cao, and there were about 150,000 soldiers and horses.
A few days ago, Guo Jia returned and began to recruit militia.
Zhang Yu quietly approached under the cover of night.
Guo Jia was already leading the battle, Zhang Yu told the soldiers to rest, and he met Guo Jia.
"Bonghyo, how's the situation?" When Zhang Yu saw Guo Jia, he began to inquire about the battle situation.
Guo Jia bowed to Zhang Yu first, and then said: "Lord, the overall situation is under control, as long as Sun Ce cooperates, it is very likely that Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses will be completely annihilated." ”
At this time, although Yuan Shu already knew that the Xiongnu had retreated, he had already penetrated deep into the hinterland, and he didn't believe that Zhang Yu could quickly return to help.
Not only did he not retreat, but he also intensified his attack, and kept urging Sun Ce to speed up and take down the entire Jiangdong before Zhang Yu returned.
After attacking Jiangdong, he realized how rich Jiangdong really was, these places were not the core areas of Jiangdong, but the level of wealth made people jealous.
If Yuan Shu occupied these places, he felt that he could immediately recruit a million troops and dominate the world.
Yuan Shu was very active, and had been storming the city defended by Gao Shun and Ling Cao, and he thought that if he eliminated the army in front of him, then there would be nothing to hinder him.
However, Yuan Shu suddenly left the Jiangdong area a few days ago and went back.
He didn't find anything when he went back, but planned to go back to organize more soldiers and horses, and take charge of the overall situation, preparing to invade Jiangdong on a large scale, and when he attacked Jiangdong, he moved the administrative office from Shouchun to Jiangdong.
Yuan Shu went back to prepare for these, he already regarded Jiangdong as his own dish, and when he was defeated, he would find a way to squeeze out Sun Ce and monopolize the core area by himself.
His idea was very good, and the situation on the front line made him swell, and he actually wanted to annex Jiangdong.
After Zhang Yu understood the situation, he was sure to eat Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses.
"Okay, notify Sun Ce immediately, let him cooperate, and choose the opportunity to attack."
Since it is ready, then Zhang Yu must attack as soon as possible, end this war, and then settle the accounts one by one.
Yuan Shao's account was calculated, Cao Cao's account was also partly calculated, and the Xiongnu's account was also settled, and then Yuan Shu, then Liu Bei, and some others.
As for Sun Ce, if he cooperates well, then let him go first, and then find an opportunity later.
Guo Jia immediately went to arrange and contacted Sun Ce to launch a sneak attack from behind.
At this time, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses had already invaded the central part of Danyang County, and Sun Ce's soldiers and horses were behind their flanks, so that a semi-encirclement was formed.
"My lord, as long as our cavalry attacks from the other side, in this way, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses will be surrounded by us, and it will be impossible to escape." Guo Jia said.
Once you've got it arranged, it's time to act.
Zhang Yu set off with the cavalry, and a day later, he made a detour to the side of Yuan Shujun's side.
This operation must be fast, the news of Zhang Yu's departure from Liaodong Yuan Shu will know sooner or later.
Guo Jia coordinated the three parties in the middle, and the army quietly surrounded Yuan Shu's army.
Yuan Shu was in his hometown, and he got some scattered news, but now he is bent on breaking through Jiangdong, and he has been arranging matters after the occupation of Jiangdong, and he has ignored the changes in the front line.
Sun Ce, he had already received the news, and then retreated from the city that was fighting with the soldiers and horses of Jiangdong and began to prepare.
At this time, only a few generals knew what they were going to do, and ordinary soldiers did not know yet.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu personally went into battle, and this time the stakes were significant.
"Let's go." After sorting out the army, Sun Ce asked the major generals to control the army before setting off.
At night, Sun Ce's soldiers and horses were separated by Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses for more than forty miles, which was also their intention to distance themselves before, and at this time, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses did not notice it at all.
Sun Ce quietly moved with 120,000 soldiers and horses, and when he began to plan the operation, he also began to add some soldiers and horses.
On the other side, in the city, Gao Shun and Ling Cao also organized soldiers and horses.
It is worth mentioning that in the city, there are more than 100,000 temporarily recruited militiamen, who are mainly responsible for defense.
Who knows if Sun Ce is true or not, if he wants to deceive Zhang Yu and their army, it will be dangerous at that time.
Although it is unlikely, it has to be guarded against to prevent Sun Ce from colluding with Yuan Shu to deal with Zhang Yu.
The enemy is not credible, although now it is a partnership.
Night, covering up a lot of things.
Zhang Yu was still in a hurry with his soldiers and horses, he wanted to make a detour, and he had not yet completed the final arrangement, but according to calculations, as long as he maintained a normal marching speed, he would have time to surround the enemy.
Just after midnight, there was a great commotion in the city.
A city gate that Yuan Jun had been trying to break through quietly opened, and several black shadows flashed inside.
Then, there were more and more black shadows, and they joined together.
Ling Cao was in front, Gao Shun was in the middle, and the two soldiers and horses headed towards Yuan Shu's military camp.
"Attack the camp, the enemy attack the camp."
"Hurry up, the enemy is attacking the camp."
The barracks that had just approached Yuan Shu were discovered.
"Hmph. It seems that the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong can't hold on, and they want to attack the camp, but fortunately, I have been prepared. "Ji Ling is very proud, after attacking for so many days, it finally has an effect.
In Ji Ling's opinion, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses must have been unable to hold on to the camp.
Ji Ling was not in a hurry, and let two armies of 50,000 soldiers and horses outflank him from both sides, and he sorted out the army in the rear.
"I'll eat you all tonight, and then the whole of Jiangdong will be ours." Ji Ling thought.
Ji Ling is excited, and victory is about to be achieved.
"Kill."
Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses were also inspired.
Yuan Jun poured out of the barracks and killed Gao Shun and Ling Cao.
Gao Shun and Ling Cao hurriedly changed their formation, they didn't expect Yuan Shujun to be so strict with their defenses, they could only change their offense to defense.
The two formed a formation to block the enemy's attack.
Yuan Jun also kept pouring towards Gao Shun and Ling Cao, as if to overwhelm them.
However, the heavy infantry defense was extremely high, and after forming a formation, it had already blocked their attack.
Gao Shun blocked the main direction and let them attack wildly, while Ling Cao defended and attacked at the same time.
After a long time of cooperation, the two have a very tacit understanding.
A rainstorm of attacks struck, high as a rock, leaving the enemy to the wind and waves.
And Ling Cao protected the archers in the middle, allowing the archers to keep attacking.
Zhang Yu's army was a luxury, even ordinary infantry had to learn to shoot arrows, and some of them would always carry bows and arrows, and pikemen could also be used as archers when necessary.
There is no way for other people's armies, bows and arrows are very expensive, and training is also a lot of waste, and they are generally rationed to specialized archers, but Zhang Yu is different, rich is capricious.
Under the powerful attack, Gao Shun and the others were not at a disadvantage, and the two sides were evenly matched.
