Not long after Yuan Lang returned to the county guard to rest, scouts who had returned to the city came to Yuan Lang to report the military briefing they had spied on. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Princess Wannian has already declared her support for Yuan Lang to resist Yuan Shao, Yuan Lang's last concern has also been dispelled, the next thing to do is to defend and counterattack, as long as Yuan Shao does not give up on Changshan County for a day, he Yuan Lang will not give up fighting against it for a day.

Yuan Lang analyzed the current defense situation of the lower county town, and he found that the county town of Changshan was not dangerous to defend, with open plains on three sides, and only the north was covered with hills and ravines, and the army could not launch a large-scale siege operation. From this point of view, the county town is easy to be attacked on all sides, and the southeast, west and west are the most dangerous, but the north should not be careless, after all, surprise is a trick often used by strategists, Yuan Shao's army has a lot of talents, Yuan Lang is careful after all, and his slightest mistake may lead to the final defeat of the war.

The information brought back by the scouts was scattered, but it was gathered here by Yuan Lang, and after his patchwork, he finally got the deployment of the enemy's troops he wanted and who the main general was.

According to the scout's report, they preliminarily calculated from the number of Yuan Shaojun's military tents that the Yuan Shaojun stationed thirty miles away from the county town this time was about 30,000 people, and Zhang Tong said that there were 100,000 people before he died, which seemed to be a threatening word, and it also made Yuan Lang worry for a long time.

In this way, the number of enemy troops is 10,000 more than his own, but he has a strong wall as a barrier, and losing 10,000 men is not a fatal flaw.

As for the generals of the enemy army, as Yuan Lang knows, the main will be Yan Liang, and the deputy will be Wen Chou, both of whom are tiger generals, not comparable to those mud legs under Yuan Lang's hands, Yuan Lang knows this self-knowingly.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Yuan Lang is not very afraid, after all, they are tiger generals on the battlefield, as long as Yuan Lang relies on the solidity of the city to close the city without fighting, no matter how brave they are, they can't do anything about themselves.

However, Yuan Lang was very reluctant to hear the name of another person, and the role of this person was reported by the scouts to be Yan Liang and Wen Chou's strategists, this person was Guo Tu.

Guo Tu, Guo Gongze is also one of Yuan Shao's early important strategists, is the cradle of celebrities and scholars Yingchuan people, this person's greatest credit history says that he and Xin Ping, Xun Chen with three inches of incorruptible tongue, persuaded Han Fu to give the Jizhou soldiers to Yuan Shao, but now it seems that these histories in Yuan Lang, to be rewritten.

Although Guo Tu is now unable to achieve the glorious moment of history to persuade Han Fu to surrender, but this person is a qualified strategist, history records that in the early days of the battle of Guandu, it was this person who assisted Yan Liang to launch the first offensive of the white horse, it is conceivable that Yuan Shao's trust in Guo Tu has been able to hand over the burden of improving morale in the first battle to him, which shows the weight of this person in Yuan Shao's heart, and it is enough to prove that Guo Tu is a bit of a real ability.

Yuan Lang couldn't sit still in the county guard mansion at the moment, although he had already dispatched troops to make the defense of the county town to the extreme, but this time the enemy was different after all, Yuan Lang must be cautious and not tolerate the slightest mistake.

Zhang Ning didn't say a word about Yuan Lang's request to rush to the city tower to supervise the battle, until Yuan Lang was about to leave the palace with his personal guards after wearing his uniform, Zhang Ning, who was also in military uniform, had quietly appeared at the door of the county guard's mansion, and behind him was the women's guard team she had carefully trained.

"Let's go, the destination is Xicheng!"

Yuan Lang didn't have the slightest objection to Zhang Ning following, because he knew that if the city couldn't be defended, he Yuan Lang would die, and his beloved wife Zhang Ning would not survive.

There is a reason why he chose to go to Xicheng to supervise the battle of Yuan Lang, firstly, Xicheng is the closest to the enemy's camp, and the terrain is open, and the terrain is open, which is very suitable for the enemy's large-scale siege and is not easy to be ambushed, and secondly, in addition to Xicheng, Yuan Lang has ordered Zhang Baiqi and other generals to arrange ambushes for suspicious soldiers, and the terrain on three sides is shallow and uneven, and there are many hills and ravines, plus the enemy army is large, they will definitely choose the most appropriate and direct way of attack, and Yuan Lang is also hoping to put the main battlefield of the decisive battle in Xicheng, After all, the west city is higher than other cities, and if you can't even defend this place, then the other three sides will collapse at the touch of a button.

When Yuan Lang arrived in Xicheng, the soldiers who were ordered to rush here had already begun to strengthen the fortifications and prepare to resist the siege of the city with rolling wood and stones, especially the large oil pots that were being erected, reminding Yuan Lang of the cruelty of war.

In this world, either you die or I die, I don't know how many fresh lives will be buried under these oil pots, but in order to protect himself, Yuan Lang has ignored this impending hellish slaughter.

Yuan Lang ascended the battlements, here has been three steps and a post, five steps and a sentry, the soldiers defending the city are now already on standby in the city tower, once the enemy situation is discovered, these archers-based defense groups will rush out of the city tower, appear on the battlements to give a deadly attack to those who dare to attack.

"Where's Bai Shuai?"

Needless to say, the importance of Xicheng was needless to say, so Yuan Lang sent Zhang Baiqi to sit here in person, and when he arrived here, he naturally found Zhang Baiqi first to understand the preparations.

Yuan Lang asked where Zhang Baiqi was and took Zhang Ning to hurry there, as for the personal entourage brought by the two, he selected two or three people, and the rest stayed in the city tower to standby.

When they arrived at the city tower where Zhang Baiqi temporarily lived, Yuan Lang and Zhang Ning stayed with him, and then the two entered side by side.

"Go and prepare according to my orders, and if there is anything to do next, listen to the military order, go down!" Zhang Baiqi was explaining the matter to his adjutant, and then he saw Yuan Lang and Zhang Ning coming in and quickly got up and said, "Huang Shuai and Tiannu are waiting in the county guard's mansion, why did they come here in person, where can they stand the cold!" ”

Zhang Baiqi is right, although the winter has passed, but the weather in Changshan County has not warmed up in the slightest, but it has become colder in the past few days.

"Meet Huang Shuai and the Heavenly Maiden!"

"Meet Huang Shuai and the Heavenly Maiden!"

The adjutants who came to receive the order saluted Yuan Lang and Zhang Ning one after another, and the two of them returned the salute one by one, and after these adjutants left, Yuan Lang said: "Everyone, including you Bai Shuai, is suffering from the cold and cold on the tower of this city, and we have no reason to enjoy happiness in the mansion." Bai Shuai, don't persuade you, we have decided to win this tough battle with everyone! ”

Zhang Baiqi understood Yuan Lang and Zhang Ning's intentions, and he had no choice but to say anything he wanted.

"Huang Shuai, Heavenly Maiden, sit down and talk!" Zhang Baiqi led Yuan Lang and Zhang Ning to sit down around the charcoal stove, and then said, "Huang Shuai and the Heavenly Maiden have this heart, I thank you for the soldiers!" The enemy is strong and I am weak, it is the time when everyone is in the same boat, I believe that as long as we Yellow Turban people have one heart, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed! ”

Yuan Lang and Zhang Ning nodded yes to Zhang Baiqi's words, and Yuan Lang just wanted to add two words of encouragement, but it happened that someone outside the door shouted happily at this time: "Daddy, you see what I found, it's sweet potato, it's so fragrant ......" (to be continued.) )
