Chapter 743 sees through the enemy's strategy
Outside the city of Xuchang, Yuzhou, the sound of "booming" war drums resounded across the land, and the two armies were now facing each other outside the city.
At this time, the atmosphere between the two sides was extremely solemn, and a big war was about to be staged.
For Yuan Xijun in the city to take the initiative to fight, Huang Zhong, the commander of the Jizhou Army, felt very strange.
Previously, when he first began to attack Yuan Xijun's city, Yuan Xijun, who was defending the city in the city, had gone out of the city several times to fight him.
But with his own hands, after annihilating the troops under Yuan Xi.
It has been a long time since Yuan Xi's subordinates dared to go out of the city to fight, not to mention that at this time, in Yuan Xi's hands, only Xuchang was left.
Although this city is a fortified city, and the Yuan army in the city is as many as tens of thousands, according to the comparison of strength between the two sides, they are more than several times stronger than the other party.
According to such a comparison of strength, even if Yuan Xijun in the city is unwilling to defend the city, he should not take the initiative to go out of the city to seek a chance to fight him.
This makes the decision of the enemy general seem extremely strange.
But this decision was definitely a great thing for Huang Zhong, otherwise he would have started the most brutal siege battle.
At this time, the enemy army was able to take the initiative to get out of the fortified city, which just gave him an opportunity to annihilate the enemy army at the lowest cost.
So for the enemy general's decision, Huang Zhong was happy in his heart.
But just as he was about to take his subordinates to fight, a small black dot suddenly fell from the sky, and this small black dot flew directly into his tent.
Huang Zhong took a look and found that this small black spot was one of the batch of carrier pigeons that they had cultivated at a great cost in Jizhou.
Huang Zhong didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly walked to the carrier pigeon, took out a small note two finger wide from the pigeon's leg, and nodded thoughtfully after a cup of tea.
This carrier pigeon flew from Jizhou, and the news brought by the carrier pigeon was Guo Jia, who was far away in Yecheng, and it was urgently transmitted to him after several confirmations.
Judging from the news brought by the carrier pigeon, Yuan Shu, who was already about to break out a big war with Yuan Shang, chose to shake hands and make peace after the mediation of Cao Cao in Qingzhou.
This point is not important to Huang Zhong now, but the next piece of news makes Huang Zhong feel a little worried.
Guo Jia's letter mentioned that Huang Zhong must be careful that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shanglian join forces.
Thinking of Yuan Xijun's strange actions in Xuchang City at this time, Huang Zhong immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
It is very likely that it is not just Yuan Shang and Yuan Shu joining forces now.
Yuan Xi in the city should have also made contact with Yuan Shang and Yuan Shu, otherwise they would never dare to swagger and fight with themselves like now.
The other party's purpose in doing this was to attract all his attention to Yuan Xijun in Xuchang City, so as to create a good opportunity for Yuan Shang and Yuan Shu to attack him.
Now that everything is completely right, Huang Zhong's brows furrowed tightly again when he thought that he was likely to be attacked by the enemy on his back, especially when he didn't know when the enemy behind him would appear.
If it is said that there is a head-to-head battle, even if it is Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang brothers and their uncle Yuan Shu, they do not have the slightest fear.
However, this is not the case now, and the enemy will never choose to confront him head-on.
But there is a great possibility that they will launch a surprise attack from behind them when they attack Xuchang.
Once such a situation happens, even if the troops under his command are extremely elite, it is inevitable that there will be huge sacrifices.
In that case, the lord's combat intention this time will not be fully realized.
In order not to have such a situation, Huang Zhong sat in his handsome tent and pondered for a long time, and just when he was at a loss, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
At that time, Huang Zhong's face showed a smile of great joy, and he knew that he had finally found a way to break the enemy.
As long as it can be carried out according to its own strategy, then this battle can completely take Yuzhou into its own hands!
After making a decision, Huang Zhong immediately sent someone to call all the generals under his command, and half an hour later, Huang Zhong walked out of his tent with his subordinates.
At this time, outside his barracks, Yuan Xi's subordinate Jiao Touch had been calling for battle outside for a long time.
Just when Jiao Touch was already waiting a little impatiently, a horn cannon rang out from the opposite barracks.
Jiao Touch immediately became nervous, he knew that their biggest enemy this time was about to appear, and the prestige of Huang Zhong, the shadow of the famous tree, could be said to be resounding throughout the Great Han.
Although Jiao Touch is also an extremely conceited person, he is not arrogant enough to think that he can compete with Huang Zhong.
Now he is mainly looking for an opportunity for Zhang Nan to break through the enemy formation.
As long as he can send Zhang Nan out, then he will immediately lead his army back to Xuchang, and then they will rely on Xuchang's city defense and Huang Zhong to maneuver.
Just when Jiao Feng was about to think about how he would be used under Cao Cao in the future, Huang Zhong had already brought someone to him.
As soon as he saw the enemy general opposite him, Huang Zhong pointed at the other party with the big knife in his hand, and then said to Jiao Jian in an extremely contemptuous tone:
"Out of nowhere, you don't know how to live or die, you dare to take the initiative to come to the old man's camp to fight! Today, the old man is in a good mood, so he will give you a ride! The thief gave the old man his life! ”
After speaking, Huang Zhong slapped his war horse and quickly rushed towards Jiao Touch, who was not far away.
Seeing Huang Zhong come up, he rushed up without even having time to give himself an answer, and Jiao Touch was shocked into a cold sweat at that time.
Originally, he also wanted to entangle with Huang Zhong for a while between words, so that he could also buy some time for Zhang Nan, who was looking for the weak parts of the enemy.
But now, things didn't go as he expected.
Seeing that Huang Zhong was about to kill in front of his eyes, he was so helpless that he could only raise the blade in his hand and fight with Huang Zhong.
Soon Jiao Touch's face was covered with cold sweat, and if it wasn't for his own experience, he couldn't believe that his opponent was actually an old man who was about to pass the age of six.
Now he was feeling a lot of pressure, which made his nerves extremely tense.
At this time, he must be extremely careful with every move, because if he is not careful, he will definitely die under the sword of the enemy general.
After holding on to less than twenty moves, Jiao Touch felt that he was about to lose his hand, which made his eyes look to the left and back of him.
That is where Zhang Nan was before, and the two of them had already agreed that as soon as they fought with Huang Zhong on their side, Zhang Nan would find an opportunity to break through from there.
When he saw that there was no longer there at this time, Zhang Nan's figure, Jiao Touch breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that soon, he would not have to fight this terrifying opponent any longer!
