Chapter 263: Night Attack on Yan Liang
Zhang Ji and Hu Che'er pressed the formation, led the army to withdraw to Shanyang City, and as soon as he entered the city gate, Zhang Ji shouted: "Close the city gate, release the arrows!" ”
With Zhang Ji's order, the city gate was immediately closed, the drawbridge was also pulled into the air, and the sharp arrows shot down from the city wall temporarily forced Yan Liang's army back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Ji came to the city wall, looked at the black army outside, frowned, and didn't seem to relax at all.
Hu Che'er also came to his side and said, "General rest assured, Yan Liang will definitely not attack him." ”
Zhang Ji shook his head and said: "Yan Liangnai is a general under Yuan Shao's account, this time I came, I must not underestimate it, the city wall of Shanyang is low, the moat is shallow, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist for a long time." ”
"As long as the main general's reinforcements arrive, are you afraid that he will not be good? Even if Yuan Shao is in person, it's nothing! Hu Che'er said.
Zhang Ji sighed and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for that long." ”
The two discussed defensive countermeasures on the city wall, while Yan Liang was thinking hard about how to break the city under the city.
Seeing the moat outside Shanyang City, which was not wide, Yan Liang shouted and said, "Come on, transport soil to fill the moat!" ”
When the military order was issued, the army immediately divided a part to carry earth and stones.
Although the effect of pouring soil into the river is not immediate, there are many people who can't stand Yan Liang, and this soldier keeps pouring soil and filling stones into the moat, which is definitely not a good thing for Zhang Ji.
"Shoot the arrows!" Zhang Ji hurriedly shouted.
There was another rain of arrows on the city wall, and the soldiers who came to fill the moat did not have time to dodge, so they were hit by arrows and fell into the river.
Yan Liang saw it in his eyes, snorted coldly, and shouted: "Get on the shield to cover!" ”
Then, one by one, the soldiers continued to pour earth and stones into the moat, but Zhang Ji's bows and arrows did not work at all.
"General, what should I do?" Hu Che'er said anxiously.
Zhang Ji's brows were already twisted into a ball at this time, and he said, "Throwing stones!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a soldier took some simple stone throwers, saying that they were stone throwers, but in fact they were a simple lever.
One person is responsible for filling the rocks, and two are responsible for firing, although the range is not far, but since it is above the city wall, it is enough.
Stones are different from bows and arrows, and if a bow or arrow is shot at a shield, it will not do any damage, and if a stone is hit on a shield, it will also kill people.
Sure enough, with this simple stone thrower, Yan Liang's sergeants began to suffer casualties again, but this was really nothing to the army.
Although the moat of Sanyo Castle is neither wide nor deep, it is not easy to fill it up in a short period of time.
Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, the time was not early, Yan Liang ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and fight again tomorrow.
The next day, Zhang Ji still held on to the city, waiting for reinforcements, while Yan Liang still ordered the sergeant to fill the moat with a shield on his head.
After a day's hard work, the filling of the moat is still very effective, at this rate, it will be completely filled in less than two days, and when the time comes, relying only on the walls of Shanyang City, I am afraid that it will not be able to resist Yan Liang's army.
After two days like this, Zhang Ji's brows furrowed more and more, according to the time calculation, even if the reinforcements from Jinyang could not arrive, the reinforcements from Luoyang and Shangdang should also arrive.
It was supposed to be tomorrow, however, the moat had already been filled in during the day, but Yan Liang saw that it was already dark, so he withdrew his troops.
Early tomorrow morning, Yan Liang will come to attack the city, with Shanyang City, can he hold out until the reinforcements arrive?
Zhang Ji's heart was full of doubts.
"General, it seems that Yan Liang will definitely attack the city tomorrow!" Hu Che'er said.
Zhang Ji nodded and said, "Yes, a section of the moat has been filled, and it will definitely be a siege tomorrow morning." ”
"Then I wonder what Yan Liang's soldiers will do tonight?" Hu Che'er asked.
Zhang Ji said impatiently: "What else can I do?" Of course, it's to sleep, nourish your spirits, and capture this Shanyang City in one fell swoop tomorrow! ”
"Then why don't the general go to attack the camp tonight?" Hu Che'er said again.
Listening to Hu Che'er's words, Zhang Ji's eyes lit up, he thought about it carefully, and said, "That's right! Although Yan Liang is brave, he is brave and unplanned, if he attacks the city tomorrow, he will not be defended tonight, so he will go to rob the camp tonight according to your wishes! ”
After the discussion was over, Zhang Ji and Hu Che'er went to order the soldiers and horses, and when they arrived at the third watch, they led 5,000 elite soldiers, went out of the city gate, and went to Yan Liang's camp to kill.
Along the way, the horses were bound and the people were getting closer and closer to Yan Liang's camp, and at this time, a dark cloud covered the moonlight, making the surroundings even darker.
Zhang Ji looked up at the sky, and said in his heart, God will help me tonight, and I will break the good face!
When he approached Yan Liang's camp, he saw that the camp was quiet, and it was obvious that the battalion sergeants were defenseless.
Zhang Ji and Hu Che'er glanced at each other, nodded, and shouted: "Kill the thief!" ”
Then, Hu Che'er took the lead, picked up the heavy iron mace in his hand, and rushed towards the camp gate.

The antlers placed at the gate of the camp were directly knocked away by Hu Che'er with a mace, and a group of soldiers behind him rushed in.
The sergeants in charge of guarding the camp were finally awakened and hurried to resist, but with their intentions or not, how could these sergeants who came in a hurry be the opponents of Zhang Ji and Hu Che'er.
After repelling the sergeants guarding the camp, Zhang Ji did not hesitate and immediately ordered his soldiers to set fire.
The fire was together, and there was a sudden chaos in the camp, and Yan Liang in the big tent of the Chinese army was also awakened, knowing that it was not good, he dressed up in armor, picked up a big knife, and walked out of the tent.
What caught my eye was a sea of fire and soldiers running around.
Yan Liang grabbed a soldier who was scurrying around and asked, "General Ben asked you, what happened?" ”
"General Qiyu, Zhang Ji is here to rob the camp!" The soldier said in a panic.
Yan Liang frowned, and asked sharply, "How many people are here?" ”
"I don't know!"
"Rubbish!" Yan Liang was furious, pushed the soldier to the ground, looked at the messy camp, and was furious in his heart.
Without any hesitation, Yan Liang stepped onto his mount and tried to drink the panicked soldiers, but to little avail.
Yan Liang was furious, and directly slapped his horse to kill the enemy who robbed the camp, and went back and forth several times, and the big knife in his hand ruthlessly harvested the lives of dozens of people.
Yan Liang's bravery finally played a deterrent role, Zhang Ji's sergeants couldn't help but frustrate the offensive, and Yan Liang also took this opportunity to gather some of his sergeants together.
Zhang Ji saw that there were not many sergeants around Yan Liang at this time, so he wanted to take this opportunity to kill this Jizhou general to prevent future troubles.
"Come with me!" Zhang Ji shouted, and then led the sergeant to kill Yan Liang.
When Hu Che'er next to him saw it, he was taken aback and shouted: "General, be careful of deception!" ”
