Chapter 222: Preparation
There are 30,000 Wuhuan troops, while Zhang Yu and they only have 10,000, plus a ruined city.
After two days of preparation, several deep trenches had been built outside the city.
With these trenches, Zhang Yu and the others would not be attacked by the Wuhuan people, and they would even face a strong impact as soon as they engaged in the battle.
The walls of Xiangping City are not high, and if the Wuhuan people attack strongly, it will be difficult to defend at that time.
And with the ditch several battles wide outside the city, the Wuhuan people had to fill the trench first.
Zhang Yu checked the city wall, although it was reinforced, it was still difficult to deal with the strong impact of Wu Huan.
"Fengxiao, do you have any good ideas?" Zhang Yu found Guo Jia and asked for advice.
Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said: "The time is too short, we have no time to prepare, for the sake of today, we can only delay the pace of the Wuhuan people's attack as much as possible, we can first show the enemy weakness, disperse their forces, and finally find a way to annihilate a part." ”
"Well, that's all it has to say now." Zhang Yu was a little disappointed, this Guo Jia didn't have any good way.
As soon as three days passed, Zhao Yun brought some back.
"Zilong, how's the situation?" Zhang Yu asked.
"General Zhang, please be sure to destroy these beasts." Zhao Yun knelt on one knee and said with red eyes.
"Zilong, please get up quickly, what's going on." Zhang Yu also realized that something big must have happened, otherwise an iron-clad man like Zhao Yun would not be like this.
Zhao Yun stood up, eased his emotions and said: "The Wuhuan people went south, looted villages and towns along the road, killed people, I don't know how many villages were reduced to ashes under their butcher's knives. ”
Zhao Yun didn't say much, but Zhang Yu could imagine what kind of human tragedy this was.
The Wuhuan people were good at looting, and they went south along the road, and they even looted along the road.
None of the villages on their way were spared.
And there is also a county town along the way.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun sent someone to inform the county seat first, and most of the people in the county town escaped, but there were still some people who were unwilling to flee who died under the butcher's knife of the Wuhuan people.
"Damn." Zhang Yu slapped the table and scolded loudly: "Wuhuan people, now that I am here, you will never be allowed to continue to slaughter my compatriots." ”
Zhang Yu said again: "I will definitely let you pay for your blood debts." ”
Zhang Yu is really angry, fighting is a war, slaughtering the city, slaughtering ordinary people is nothing.
After scolding, Zhang Yu gradually calmed down, and at this time, they must be beaten back first, otherwise there is no way to talk about revenge.
"Zilong, according to your estimate, what will happen to the Wuhuan people?"
Zhao Yun clenched his fists and said, "Their vanguard has about 5,000 people, and it is expected to arrive in two days." ”
Zhao Yun continued: "I also arranged for some to watch them, and more information will come back in the evening." ”
Zhang Yu nodded and called several of his subordinates over.
After listening to Zhao Yun's words, several people hated the Wuhuan people to the core, and wanted to destroy them and avenge the dead people.
"We must avenge this revenge, but now that the Wuhuan army is heading south, we must solve it first." Zhang Yu said.
Guo Jia first said: "Lord, the enemy is outnumbered, and the enemy is a cavalry capable of fighting, if you want to repel them, you must concentrate all your forces, and the subordinates have found that there is a big family in Liaodong through the investigation of the past few days, and the strength is very strong, we should let them also contribute." ”
Zhang Yu was very surprised, there is still a great family in Liaodong.
"Bong-hyo, please speak." Zhang Yu said.
"The biggest family in Liaodong is the Gongsun family, their strength is very strong, compared with some big families in the Central Plains, this Gongsun family has at least 3,000 people in their hands, if they can support us, it will be more certain to defeat Wuhuan." Guo Jia said.
Zhang Yu also remembered at this time that there were two grandson families in this Youzhou.
One is the family where Gongsun Chan belongs, and his strength naturally does not need much, so he can defeat Liu Yu and become the biggest force in Youzhou.
In addition, the Gongsun family is the family where the Gongsun Du of Liaodong is located.
Historically, Gongsun Du controlled Liaodong for decades, because of its remote location and strength, he has always divided one side and become a prince.
Because this Gongsun Du has not participated in the struggle for the world and has been separating Liaodong, his reputation is not so great.
"Okay, I'll personally visit this Gongsun family in the evening, do you have any suggestions?" Zhang Yu asked again.
Huang Zhong hesitated for a moment and said: "Lord, the enemy is strong, can we eat their five thousand pioneers, if we can eat them, our pressure will be reduced." ”
Zhang Yu pondered for a while and said: "You can try, now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, if they join forces, we will have no chance at all." ”
Five thousand cavalry, the pressure on Zhang Yu and them is actually very huge.
It's just that no matter how difficult it is, you have to try.
Several people were trying to figure out a way, and then they discussed.
Guo Jia first said: "Lord, with the strength of our army, plus the ambush, it is not difficult to eat five thousand Wuhuan cavalry, the difficult thing is that their vanguard is only dozens of miles away from the army, and the cavalry can arrive in two hours, we have to annihilate them and escape, it is too late." ”
Zhang Yu clasped his hands, stood up and said, "No matter how difficult it is, you have to do it." ”
"Evil, I order you to lead two thousand soldiers and horses to intercept the Wuhuan army, block them along the road, delay them along the road, and hide directly in the mountains after the fight." Zhang Yu ordered.
2,000 men and horses, to block the enemy's more than 20,000 people, the situation can be imagined, and there must not be many people who can come back in the end.
"Zilong, I order you to lead two thousand men to attract the enemy's vanguard to pursue, be sure to let them pursue, open up the distance between you and their army, and then, you hide, detour behind them, and intercept their scouts. Wait until the start of the war, in the attack from the rear. ”
"Yes, Yun Ling."
The task that Zhang Yu gave Zhao Yun was also very dangerous, but Zhao Yun also agreed without hesitation.
Zhang Yu continued: "Hansheng ambushed them with me. ”
This time, Zhang Yu's whole army attacked, and only in this way can he win this battle as much as possible.
The crowd began to split up.
And Zhang Yu took Guo Jia directly to Gongsun Du's house.
Gongsun's family is a prominent family in Liaodong, and the mansion is very large.
"In the next new Taishou Zhang Yu came to find the patriarch of Gongsun, please let me know." Zhang Yu said directly before coming to Gongsun's house.
The gatekeeper quickly went in and then came out again.
"The head of the house is invited." Zhang Yu asked people to take it in.
At this time, the head of the Gongsun family was not Gongsun Du, but Gongsun Du's father.
"The head of the Gongsun family, the situation is urgent, I won't talk nonsense with you in the future, I came to ask the Gongsun family for help this time, what losses will the Gongsun family have, I will bear it after the war, and I will definitely not let the Gongsun family suffer losses." Zhang Yu said bluntly.
The head of the Gongsun family is named Gongsun Shu, an old man in his early fifties.
"Lord Taishou, the predecessor Taishou has run away, do you have the confidence to hold on?" Gongsun Shu asked.
