Chapter 574: Reoccupy the city
Liu Biao's calculation is undoubtedly very clever, and he will be the biggest beneficiary of success, even if he fails, there is not much loss in calculation.
However, Liu Biao was destined to be a soldier, and after Huang Zu suffered a defeat, he did not dare to enter the army, so Ye Chen quietly went north with a large army.
In Ye Chen's camp, Guo Jia has already been arranged, the camp tent has not decreased, the cooking smoke has not decreased, and there are even cavalry wandering and patrolling around.
Huang Zu's spies couldn't get close, they could only observe from a distance, and after observing, they didn't find that Ye Chen had left with the main force.
"Second brother, Yuan Shu's army is too slow, we can choose from a lot of places, where are you going to ambush?" On the way north, Tai Shici asked.
Ye Chen thought for a while and said, "Let's start tonight, day and night, don't let Yuan Shu and them get the news in advance, and then I will naturally have a way to hit them hard." ”
Tai Shi Ci and the others nodded, and did not continue to ask, since Ye Chen already had a plan in his heart, he would definitely be able to defeat Yuan Shu, so that they would not dare to pursue south again.
Yuan Shu's army was still three or four days away from Ye Chen and them, and they could be arranged calmly.
After two nights of marching, Ye Chen and the others were not far from Yuan Shu's army.
"Ahead is Chaoyang County, according to the speed of Yuan Shujun, we should be able to reach Chaoyang County tomorrow, we will take the county seat tonight, and then ambush them in the city." Ye Chen said.
Ye Chen continued: "Tonight's operation is important to be hidden, and we can't let Yuan Shujun get the news in advance, so we must act quickly and covertly. ”
Chaoyang County, Ye Chen and they occupied it once, and there were not many troops inside, plus the environment was familiar, it was not difficult to occupy it at all, but it was difficult to occupy it quietly.
"Second brother, I'll take someone to touch it quietly, it shouldn't be difficult to open the city gate." Zhao Yun stood up and said.
"No, you are not familiar with the work at night, let the eldest brother bring people over, they must not have many defensive forces, bring people to the city quietly, arrange the archers, if they are discovered, they will be quickly annihilated, and at the same time block the four gates, so that none of them can run out."
When they left, Ye Chen ordered people to confiscate their weapons and dismiss all the soldiers at the same time.
Although they can re-recruit soldiers, but the people have a lot of food at home, many people may not necessarily go to the draft, and Ye Chen They have not left Nanyang yet, and many people are also very scared and dare not go to the draft, so even if the city wall is defended, the number will definitely not be large.
Sure enough, when Tai Shi Ci led people to quietly approach the city wall, there were only a few dozen people defending the city, and some were still holding wooden sticks.
"Quick, get up." Tai Shi Ci began to let the soldiers go up to the top of the city, while he himself climbed the improvised ladder and went up.
It is easy to understand that there are no soldiers in the city to defend, it is already ten in the middle of the night at this time, plus Ye Chen and they came to collect and scrape, there is nothing to scrape at this time, so the county order is too lazy to care, just get some people to make a show, after all, Yuan Shu is about to take over these cities, and it is not good not to make a show.
"Who?"
A soldier guarding the city was dozing, and then rubbing his eyes to continue dozing, but when he saw a figure on the city wall, he thought it was a mistake at first, so he asked.
"Poof~"
It was Tai Shici who came up, and when the other party found out, he threw the weapon in his hand to finish off the soldier, so that he couldn't shout.
"Surrender or kill."
Tai Shi Ci jumped on the top of the city, and then the soldiers of the other guard battalions also went up to the head of the city.
Dozens of soldiers from the guard battalion rushed up at once, and the soldiers defending the city dared to resist and immediately abandoned their weapons and surrendered, they all knew that as long as they threw their weapons and then squatted, the guard battalion would no longer embarrass them.
Tai Shi Ci successfully occupied the city wall, and then opened the city gate.
"Blockade the city, from now on only enter, not out."
Entering the city, Ye Chen said.
The Liaodong Army reoccupied Chaoyang County, which made many people inside uneasy, although Ye Chen did not kill a single person last time, but they made them suffer heavy losses.
Especially the county order, he hurriedly and obediently gave up the county office, and asked what he needed, and he became Ye Chen's subordinate.
"Yun Chang, Zilong, you two will ambush on the left side of the city gate tomorrow."
"No."
"Big brother, tomorrow you are responsible for ambushing outside the city, and after they enter the city, you can't let them have another chance to go out."
"No."
"Okay, then I will ambush the city gate tomorrow, and at the same time ambush a group of archers at the head of the city, and when all the enemies have entered the city, we will attack and annihilate them on the spot." Ye Chen said.
Ye Chen's strategy is very simple, it is nothing more than an ambush in the city, and the most important thing in the whole process is to keep it secret, so that Yuan Shujun does not get the news in advance.
"Young family master, why is this Yuan Shu army so slow, what are you doing slowly, why don't you hurry up and die." After lying in ambush for more than an hour, the tiger head asked boredly.
Ye Chen and the others began to ambush as soon as dawn, but they waited for more than an hour, and they did not see the arrival of Yuan Shu's army.
At this time in Chaoyang County, the city gate is open, and there are more than 20 soldiers guarding the city, and there are occasional pedestrians entering the city, which seems to be normal.
But if you look closely, you will see that only people entered the city, and none came out.
It looks like there are only about twenty soldiers guarding the walls, but in fact there are two thousand archers squatting under the battlements, just waiting for the enemy to come in, they will be the enemy's nightmare.
"With Yuan Shu's marching speed, they still want to pursue us." Ye Chen also shook his head helplessly, this Yuan Shu's speed was too slow.
In fact, this can't be blamed on Yuan Shu, Ye Chen and the city they have swept have left a lot of troubles, and their army usually has to stay to solve some troubles, and they have to search the city inside and outside to prevent ambushes or something, so the speed is naturally slow.
Near noon, a group of about 8,000 soldiers and horses appeared on the road leading to Chaoyang County, which was Yuan Shu's vanguard force.
As soon as they appeared, Ye Chen and they received the news.
The abnormality of the county town did not attract the attention of Yuan Shujun, and they did not find any signs along the way, and the Liaodong Army did not appear.
This Chaoyang County is one of the more than a dozen county towns they received, so they didn't care very much, and when they arrived at the city gate, they saw more than 20 people posing on the head of the city, the city gate was wide open, and no one checked it, which was similar to the city they received before.
No one left the city without attracting their attention, and they entered Chaoyang County, which had already been ambushed on all sides.
