Chapter 332: Sneak Attack on Zhongshan Country
Although Zhang Yu changed his itinerary, he did not attack immediately.
He led the army close to the junction of Jizhou and Youzhou, and found a place to hide.
After hiding, Zhang Yu ordered someone to find out the news.
After some investigation, Zhang Yu understood why Gongsun Chan was in a hurry to ask for help.
Zhang Yu pinched the information in his hand and said: "Yuan Shao is aggressive, his strength is far stronger than in history, and his ambition has also swelled. ”
Intelligence shows that Yuan Shao had 300,000 troops at this time, and he actually transferred 150,000 troops to deal with Gongsun Zhan, of course, Gongsun Zhan's troops were more than in history, and there were tens of thousands.
In the face of the powerful Jizhou Corps, Gongsun Zan is under great pressure, and asking for help from Liaodong is actually a kind of mentality of trying.
"Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, I definitely can't let you have a good time." Zhang Yu tore up the information in his hand and made up his mind in his heart.
Zhang Yu and Yuan Shao are mortal enemies, when dealing with Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao stabbed him in the back, and he could seize the opportunity to take revenge, of course Zhang Yu would not miss it.
"Ning'er, you first take your things and return to Liaodong with five thousand men, and I will go to meet Yuan Shao." Zhang Yu came to Zhang Ning, held her shoulder and said.
Zhang Ning nodded obediently, she understood that Zhang Yu had something important to do, and the large fortune extorted from Dong Zhuo was a burden and needed to be sent back.
Zhang Yu's willingness to help Gongsun Zan naturally has his selfishness, in history, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou were all swallowed by Yuan Shao, Zhang Yu will have to face Yuan Shao sooner or later, and it is of course the best to cause him trouble in advance.
Zhang Yu acted quietly, without even informing Gongsun Zhan.
"Lord, what's going on?" After sending troops, Dian Wei asked.
Zhang Yu shook the reins easily and said, "Hit the snake and hit the seven inches, while no one knows our whereabouts now, just go behind Yuan Shao and give him a look." ”
It's okay to help Gongsun Zhan, but it's impossible to ask Zhang Yu to spend a lot of money.
Zhang Yu and the others concealed their whereabouts all the way and marched towards the junction of Youzhou Daijun and Jizhou Zhongshan Kingdom.
"Lord, why are we taking this road, these are all mountain roads, and the cavalry is too difficult to move." Dian Wei grumbled.
"Just because it's difficult to walk, the enemy can't think of it, so it can work wonders, and there is the Great Wall ahead, and it's much better to cross the Great Wall." Zhang Yu looked ahead and said.
Huang Zhong on the side wiped his sweat and said: "Lord, the Great Wall here was built by the Qin Dynasty, it has been hundreds of years, it is very dilapidated, it is not difficult to cross, and then it will enter Zhongshan Kingdom." ”
That's right, Zhang Yu was going to cross the Great Wall and attack Yuan Shao's rear.
This is the Great Wall built by the Qin Dynasty, the capital of the Qin Dynasty is not in Beijing, and it is not the focus here, and the Great Wall of the Luoyang generation in Chang'an was mainly strengthened in the Han Dynasty.
Most of the Great Wall in Hebei and Beijing was built during the Ming Dynasty, so it was not difficult to cross the Great Wall at this time.
There is no war here for the time being, and Yuan Shao's focus is not here, and the Great Wall has not been repaired and garrisoned, so Zhang Yu plans to secretly climb over here.
Despite this, the mountain road is still difficult to walk, and Zhang Yu and they often have to dismount and lead the horses to walk.
Zhang Yu and the others crossed the Great Wall in a few days and arrived at Zhongshan Kingdom.
Entering the territory of Jizhou, Zhang Yu and the others first hid in the mountains to rest and restore the physical strength of the soldiers.
When the soldiers regain their strength, it is time for them to act.
An army of 20,000 is a big goal, and when it enters Jizhou, it will soon be exposed in front of everyone, so Zhang Yu's speed must be fast.
In Zhongshan, Yuan Shao only arranged 20,000 soldiers and horses, and they were scattered among various cities.
Zhang Yu called a few generals and said: "The most important thing in this battle is fast words, we must tear apart the defense of Jizhou at once and disrupt all the enemy's arrangements." ”
Zhang Yu pointed to the paper with a simple map and said: "We are divided into four routes, ambush at night, and after they open the city gate during the day, they will raid and attack, and they must be fast and accurate, and they will immediately attack and control the city after breaking through their county seat." ”
Zhang Yu gestured the route with his hand, arranged the attack plan, and then said: "After occupying the city, I will collect it, regardless of whether I am the enemy or me, the wealth of the government and the family will be scraped for me, and I will not kill people as much as possible, and all the food that cannot be taken away will be given to the people." ”
Zhang Yu arranged, and the eyes of several generals lit up.
"Okay, this time our purpose is to sweep through Zhongshan Kingdom within a few days and surprise Yuan Shao." Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu used the method of blitzkrieg, which quickly swept through the entire Zhongshan, so that Yuan Shao had no time to react.
Make a plan, and they get into action after dark.
Zhang Yu set off with 5,000 people.
When they arrived at an ambush outside a county seat, hundreds of people approached the city gate hundreds of meters away.
After the ambush is set, it is time to wait for the opportunity.
The time soon came, and at dawn, the gates would open.
Zhongshan was not a battlefield at this time, and there were no enemies around, so they were all very slack.
"The gates are open, ready to charge."
The gates were opened, and no pedestrians were entering or exiting at this time.
After a while, the gates of the city were opened, and the soldiers in the lead charged.
"Kill."
Hundreds of people suddenly killed.
Rush to the city gate a few hundred meters away.
The city gate was so heavy that it took a dozen people to close, and it was too late to prepare for it.
The soldiers rushed out and made a quick assault.
"Look, who are they?"
"yes, where did the army come from? I don't hear of any other troops moving over. ”
"No, they're enemies."
"Not good, enemy attack."
The soldiers at the head of the city finally reacted, and then quickly shouted, and at the same time asked the soldiers at the city gate to close the city gate, but it was too late.
When the city gate was halfway closed, Zhang Yu and his soldiers rushed to kill them, and they rushed into the city gate at once.
"Quick, go tell the general, and the rest of me will go down with me to stop them." The young general guarding the city gate hurriedly ordered.
But it soon made him despair, for a cavalry appeared in their eyes and charged at them.
If there are a few hundred people below, they can still block it, but in the face of the rolling iron flow, even all the soldiers in the city combined are not opponents.
The city gate was controlled, and Zhang Yu led the soldiers to rush in.
After entering, Zhang Yu did not stay, and directly attacked the county government and other places, and wanted to eliminate or control the army in the city first.
There were only about 3,000 soldiers in the city, and their combat effectiveness was relatively poor, and they were scattered in various places, so Zhang Yu and they could wipe them out in less than an hour.
Taking control of the city, Zhang Yu ordered again: "Quickly, move all the useful things in the city, and don't leave Yuan Shao at all, if there is resistance, kill it." ”
Zhang Yu ordered, and some experienced soldiers immediately led people to start scraping the city.
At the same time, Zhang Yu also took a team of soldiers to patrol the city to see if his soldiers were messing around.
It's okay to scrape the family, but you can't kill people indiscriminately, let alone bully the people, if you find someone who is lewd, Zhang Yu will not hesitate to kill them.
