At night, on the Yangtze River, many ships come and go.

The ship was loaded with horses and soldiers.

Zhang Yu stood on the bow of the boat, blowing the cold wind and feeling the cold wind.

Zhang Yu's landing site is close to the mouth of the Yangtze River, which is relatively far away from the enemy, and it is also a place where Zhang Yu and their control is very strong.

In fact, after crossing the Yangtze River, he entered the territory of Xuzhou, and the reason why Zhang Yu did this was to go around the enemy's rear from the other side of the Yangtze River.

(There was a mistake in the previous chapter, the enemy should have come from the west, and the north of Wu County was Xuzhou.) However, Yangzhou also has several counties in the north of the Yangtze River. ）

Cross the Yangtze River and join Dian Wei.

"Lord, where are we going to kill?" After the convergence, Dian Wei began to argue for a fight.

Zhang Yu shook his head, looked into the distance and said, "Let the enemy fight first, the happier they fight, the higher the price they will pay in the end." Zhang Yu said.

This time, Zhang Yu not only wanted to repel the enemy, but more importantly, to grab territory.

There are so many counties in Yangzhou, and Zhang Yu only has the territory of two counties at this time.

Zhang Yu and the others began to conceal their whereabouts, resting during the day and setting out again at night.

In Danyang County, the enemy's advance troops and horses have arrived.

100,000 troops, stationed in Danyang County.

Qu, Dantu two counties, Ling Cao according to Dantu, and Gao Shun in Qu'a.

The two cities on the edge of the Yangtze River have become barracks at this time.

The enemy stationed troops in Jurong County, Hushu County, and Jiangcheng County, which were also on the Yangtze River, forming a three-legged posture.

The two sides were dozens of miles away and began to confront each other.

Chen Wen commanded in Danyang County, and the county guards and generals who led the troops in each county also entered Danyang County one after another.

In Qu'ah City, Gao Shun was inspecting the city defenses and checking the preparations for war in the city.

When Gao Shun was inspecting the city, his subordinates reported that the enemy sent a forward to test Dantu County, and Ling Cao sent someone to send a message.

Gao Shun pinched the paper in his hand and fell into deep thought, frowned for a while, and muttered to himself: "The military advisor asked me to defend the city, don't act rashly, otherwise I will be able to eat this vanguard by sending troops to sneak attack." ”

The two sides began to make contact, but Gao Shun soon spotted the fighter.

The other party came from several counties, and although he was led by Chen Wen, he was not much better, and he was even more unbearable than the original Eighteenth Route Alliance.

Assassin Shi, if he doesn't really have military power in his hands, he doesn't have much power at all.

The Assassin's control over the county guards was weak, and there were problems with the movement of troops and horses.

The shrewd Gao Shun immediately saw the opportunity, their forward rushed forward, and there were no soldiers and horses in the rear, if they sent troops to sneak attack, it was easy to eat.

However, Gao Shun had to obey the military order and did not go to war.

Looking at Dantu County again, Ling Cao was also defending the city, and at this time, the soldiers around the city were still digging a second trench, as if they were going to hold it for a long time.

Ling Cao also saw an opportunity, but without Guo Jia's order, he didn't fight.

"The lord and the military judgment are right, the patchwork army is not much better than the original alliance of the princes, if the lord's plan succeeds, they will inevitably fall apart." Ling Cao looked at the intelligence and said.

Guo Jia also received the news, it was not that he didn't see the opportunity, but he ate the front army, at most let them lose thousands of soldiers and horses, and they couldn't hurt the opponent's muscles and bones, so it was better not to move them and let them underestimate the enemy.

Guo Jia was preparing grain, grass and various supplies in the rear, and had not yet arrived at the battlefield.

Two days later, the enemy massively increased its forces in three county towns.

The three county towns already have 100,000 soldiers and horses, ready to attack at any time.

A few days later, the 200,000 soldiers and horses gathered in Danyang County, and Chen Wen gathered all kinds of people and horses.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhang Yu's thieves are rebellious, and now we are all gathered together, and we will definitely break through Wu County and Huiji County in one fell swoop, capture Zhang Yu alive, and welcome back the Queen Mother." Chen Wen sat down and ordered.

More than a dozen people below said in unison: "Break through Wu County and Huiji County, and capture Zhang Yu alive." ”

Chen Wen nodded with satisfaction, feeling extremely proud in his heart, as if he was the leader of the alliance, as beautiful as Yuan Shao back then.

At the beginning, the eighteenth princes attacked Dong Zhuo, and now he leads more than a dozen princes to attack Zhang Yu.

"Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu, you deserve to be my stepping stone." Chen Wen is serious on the surface, but he is very happy in his heart.

Many of the people below are not soldiers and horses from Yangzhou, but soldiers and horses from other places.

For example, Guangling County in Xuzhou also sent 10,000 soldiers and horses, and Guangling is opposite Wu County, across the Yangtze River.

Guangling Taishou will send soldiers and horses to come, because they are at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and every day they see the ships of Wu County coming and going, and the goods are throughput, how can they not be blushing.

Very red-eyed, so this time they are here to pick up the cheap, if they win, they can directly occupy the Yangtze River estuary, and then this huge benefit will be theirs.

These soldiers and horses all came with a purpose, and each had a different purpose.

"Okay, now set off immediately and attack Wu County." Chen Wen was satisfied, so he ordered the army to be deployed.

People from all walks of life began to head towards several county towns along the Yangtze River.

Three days later, Dantu County and Qu'a County began to be attacked by the enemy.

In Dantu County, Ling Cao was at the head of the city, his face was heavy.

"Remove half of the men, and hold on." Ling Cao ordered.

In the vanguard of the enemy, 10,000 soldiers and horses slowly dispatched, and the formation and military appearance were strictly organized.

"It's just empty." Ling Cao said calmly.

The 10,000 soldiers and horses dispatched by the enemy were neat and imposing, but in an old army like Ling Cao, he immediately saw the problem.

The military parade must be neat, and the military formation that really fights is not very neat, and blindly pursuing neatness can make the formation look bigger, but it is not necessarily a good thing.

Ling Cao saw that although the enemy was neat, he was stiff, and his steps were not very steady.

"Kill."

When the generals in front approached the city, they ordered an attack.

There was no fierce confrontation at the beginning.

The enemy began to fill the trenches, and the defenders at the head of the city began to fire arrows.

"The arrows are so sparse that they can be broken in two days." The local generals were overjoyed.

The city despised Ling Cao because the arrows on the city were too sparse.

Ling Cao at the head of the city also despised them.

"Just a small plan, remove half of the men, and you will fall for the plan." Ling Cao said softly.

The so-called middle plan is not that the enemy has a light enemy against Ling Cao.

Instead, the enemy sees the arrows sparsely and does not pay attention to protection, and from time to time someone falls to the ground with an arrow.

If it comes up, Ling Cao and they will attack with an arrow array, not to mention the huge consumption, the enemy will definitely defend it to the death, and it is really hard to say how many enemies can be killed at that time.

Nowadays, arrows are sparse and not very lethal to the opponent, the enemy is only killed by arrows from time to time, and the enemy's generals do not have a good grasp of the casualties of the army.

The enemy is nervously filling in the trenches and also counterattacking with bows and arrows.

Ling Cao commanded easily, replacing tired archers from time to time.

One day, sure enough, in the evening, the enemy's soldiers and horses withdrew, and according to some statistics, there were more than 1,000 casualties.

The battle was not fierce during the day, but they did not expect that more than a thousand people would be killed or wounded.
