Chapter 338: Take Yuanshou County
Zhang Yu and the others hid in the valley, and then Zhao Yun continued to go out with five thousand people and ten thousand war horses.
This time, according to Zhang Yu's request, Zhao Yun made a lot of noise, they waved out the flags, and looted some villages and towns along the way.
After another half a day, Yan Liang and the others arrived, and they immediately received a message from Zhao Yun.
Yan Liang directly led people to chase after him, and he didn't find anything wrong.
"This Zhang Yu is too blind."
Yan Liang received some news that Zhang Yu dared to loot on the way to "escape", and he didn't pay attention to them at all.
Yan Liang has been huffing and puffing, leading people to catch up quickly.
But if you only have one person and one horse, everyone will be tired, and if you don't rest, your speed will slow down, and you will lose time when you rest.
However, Zhao Yun's speed was not fast this time, because they also attacked many villages and towns along the road, and even wanted to hit the county seat.
Yan Liang hurriedly chased after him again.
After Yan Liang and the others had passed for half a day, Zhang Yu and the others had already slept and rested enough.
"Let's go, let's go back, angry and good, and want to surround us."
Zhang Yu and the others came out at night, and then went back along the previous road.
After rushing all night, at dawn, Zhang Yu and the others found a place to hide.
At this time, Yan Liang and the others were three days away from Zhang Yu.
After resting for a day, Zhang Yu and the others set off again.
"Lord, why did we return to Yuanshou County again?" Dian Wei asked.
Zhang Yu called Dian Wei and said to Huang Zhong: "This is our goal, Yuanshou County, attack the county seat when it is almost dawn, and directly attack a gate, this time they are defenseless, and they can be defeated in half an hour." ”
Dian Wei happily rubbed his hands, and Huang Zhong was also happy.
"Okay, let's go and rest, we will attack before dawn and take Yuanshou County in half an hour." Zhang Yu said.
Huang Zhong hugged his fists to arrange, and then Dian Wei also went happily.
Before dawn, about two hours before dawn, Zhang Yu and the others had assembled.
"I order, attack Yuanshou County, regardless of priority, attack the West Gate together, and take the city within half an hour." Zhang Yu ordered.
Soon, the team set off.
At this time, the guards of Yuanshou County were very relaxed, because Zhang Yu had just been driven away, and tens of thousands of their own troops were chasing after Zhang Yu.
According to Taishou Hu Feng's words, it is impossible for Zhang Yu to come back.
But Zhang Yu came back, and at this time he was already close to the city of Yuanshou County.
When Zhang Yu arrived, they were found two miles outside the city.
"Well, the enemy didn't find out, it's a good opportunity for us." Zhang Yu ordered: "Attack on all fronts." ”
More than 10,000 horses ran and slaughtered the city.
At a distance of two miles, it doesn't take a few minutes for the war horse to run.
The defenders of the city in a daze heard the sound of war horses.
"Several generals have returned, this Zhang Yu's army must have been wiped out."
"The two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, are powerful."
"In the middle of the night, I won't let me sleep."
"The general should have come and told us to open the door."
The defenders in the confusion thought it was their own when they heard the sound of the war horses, and they didn't even look at it.
In fact, I don't blame them, since Zhang Yu and they left, they didn't care about Hu Feng too much, the army guarding the city was originally more than 3,000 people, and there were only a few hundred people on duty at night.
"Kill."
Approaching the city wall, Zhang Yu roared, and then led people to kill him.
"Where's the shouting to kill?"
"Not good, enemy attack."
The defenders of the city finally reacted, but it was too late, and Zhang Yu and the others had already begun to attack.
More than 10,000 arrows shot up into the sky and slaughtered the city.
Many of the defenders at the head of the city hurriedly rose up to resist, but by the time they stood up, the arrows had already been killed, and they were all killed.
Yes, almost all the defenders of the city were killed.
Just those few hundred people, under the terrifying attack of the dense arrow array, where did they have a chance to live.
If they had prepared earlier, they might have survived by hiding under the battlements, or resisting with shields, but they had nothing to prepare, this Yuanshou County was not a big city, the head of the city was so long, under the attack of dense arrow arrays, where was there to hide.
There was no resistance from the city, so Zhang Yu ordered the soldiers to ram the city gate.
In the night, this great noise was heard by the whole city, and they were immediately awakened.
"Impossible, impossible, how could Zhang Yu kill it back." Hu Feng, who was pulled up by the soldiers, said with a shocked face.
"Lord Taishou, hurry up and run, otherwise it will be too late." The guard said.
"No, immediately concentrate the troops and horses to block it, General Yan Liang, they will come back immediately, and they will come back immediately." Hu Feng didn't know if he hadn't woken up yet, or thought that Yan Liang and the others could come back to save him and keep him in the position of Taishou.
If he runs away, there is a good chance that the position he guarded will be gone.
"Bang~"
There was a loud bang at the city gate, and the city gate was knocked down by Zhang Yu and them, and then they killed in.
"Evil came to control a few city gates, Han Sheng went to control the military camp, and the others followed me to the county guard's mansion." After entering the city, Zhang Yu immediately ordered.
Zhang Yu led people to kill them, and Hu Feng was arrested by Zhang Yu and their people not far from leaving the county guard's mansion.
At this time, it was not yet dawn, and there were no people on the streets, so as long as all the people outside were arrested.
After some arrests, the city was controlled by Zhang Yu.
"Lord, we found a large amount of grain and grass in the warehouse, according to the soldiers in the city, it was for Yan Liangwen to use them." Huang Zhong came over to report and said.
"Haha, this is cheap for us, when Yan Liang comes back, he will definitely be half angry." Zhang Yu said happily.
"The old rules, I looted all the families in the city, giving Yuan Shao a headache." Zhang Yu said.
This is the county seat, the place is not small, and there are many rich families in the city.
"This Jizhou is really rich, I really envy Yuan Shao, I'm so rich." Zhang Yu personally took people to the county treasury and saw a large amount of silver in the treasury.
There were hundreds of pounds of gold and silver, and copper coins piled up like hills.
In this era, gold and silver, although not currency in circulation, were also valuables that could be used among the nobility.
Of course, Zhang Yu would not be polite and took all the things.
"Hansheng, our soldiers and horses are getting smaller and fewer, although the losses after entering Jizhou are small, but we have also killed more than 2,000 soldiers, we might as well recruit on the spot and strengthen ourselves." Zhang Yu thought about it and asked Huang Zhong's opinion.
Huang Zhong thought about it and said: "My lord, now that we have been fighting repeatedly, the army is moving quickly, recruiting new soldiers, and there is no time to train, which will seriously reduce our combat effectiveness." ”
"Of course, I also took this into account, the recruited soldiers will not participate in the battle, as long as they are suspicious soldiers to confuse the enemy, and if you have time, you can train it, and then you can fight a good fight." Zhang Yu said.
