Chapter Twenty-Seven: Reinforcements Arrive

In the morning of the next day, the peculiar camp with a width of twenty rods completely surrounded the entire Yecheng, Zhao De tried to let the catapult go out of the city to destroy the only wooden circle-shaped camp, so that they could break through and continue to stay in the city, no different from waiting for death, the clanging sound in the camp did not stop except at night, every day a cart of supplies was pulled in from the outside, and the strange camp looked like a coiled snake, The entire Yecheng is constantly tightened. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the afternoon, a row of arrow towers was erected again, and they could see far away, and then a layer of partitions was erected here, so that the people in Yecheng could not see the situation behind the partitions at all.

The wolf smoke continued to burn, and there was already a Wei County reinforcement appeared, but it was only a small force, and it was not even able to get close, it was dispersed by the men and horses sent by Zhang Liao, Zhao De knew that it was definitely Zhang Liao's intention, this person who was known as the number one general under Lu Bu had a bad stomach.

"What do those white birds do?" Another pigeon flew up from the circle camp, fluttering its wings and flying away into the distance, and disappeared in an instant, Zhao De asked a little irritably.

"I don't know." Several of the subordinates looked at each other blankly, and every day pigeons kept flying in from outside, and then flying out again, and they were also curious about what these white birds were doing, obviously not flying over for food.

"Find a way to knock down a few!" Zhao De snorted coldly, he felt that these white birds were definitely unusual, but he couldn't think of any use for these white birds.

Several subordinates looked at each other, how to fight?

"Yo~" "Yo~"

In the sky, several war eagles were constantly circling in the air, constantly emitting strange eagle cries, Zhao De looked up, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Woo~Woo~Woo~"

The desolate horn sounded in the distance, and under the dusk sunset, a group of men and horses gradually appeared at the end of the official road, accompanied by the desolate horn sound constantly approaching the direction of Yecheng, the main army of Jizhou is coming!

Zhao De's heart sank, although he knew that after Zhang Liao defeated a few reinforcements, the main force would definitely come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, for the first time, Zhao De didn't want reinforcements to arrive.

"General, here it is!" A lieutenant rushed to Zhang Liao's side with an excited look in his eyes.

"Watch Yecheng tightly, don't let them come out to make trouble, the others will go up with me." Zhang Liao took a deep breath, let the irritable hot blood pressure in his heart go down, and took the generals at all levels to the fortifications.

"It's Xiahou Yuan!" After retracting the clairvoyant mirror, Zhang Liao said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for some years, but now I meet it, it's fate!" ”

When they were in Xuzhou and Puyang, as the two generals under Lu Bu and Cao Cao, the two had never fought each other, and now they met again, this time, Zhang Liao wanted to surprise Xiahou Yuan.

"Return to the team, and act according to the order later, without my order, you can't release arrows!" Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.

"Whoa!" When the generals heard this, they quickly dispersed, and small phalanxes were set up on this fortification.

Looking at Cao Jun who was slowly approaching, Zhang Liao licked his somewhat dry lips, the new combat method that he had trained for five years wanted to see if it was effective this time.

"Stop!"

In the distance, Xiahou Yuan and the army slowly stopped three miles away, frowning at the circle of military camps.

"What's that?" Xiahou Yuan frowned, and turned his head to look at the deputy general beside him: "Scout out out formation!" ”

"Whoa!"

The order flag waved, dozens of scouts galloped out quickly, galloping around the circular camp, and soon after, the scouts came back and said to Xiahou Yuan: "General, the entire Yecheng is surrounded by this strange military camp, and there are partitions to block it, and it is impossible to see how many soldiers and horses there are inside. ”

Xiahou Yuan nodded silently, but his eyes fell on the handsome flag, and he saw that the five big characters of General Zhendong Zhang on the handsome flag were extremely eye-catching.

"It's Zhang Liao!" Xiahou Yuan's eyes lit slightly, Zhang Liao was not an easy opponent to deal with.

"If you want to besiege Yecheng, if this camp is full of troops, I'm afraid there will be no less than 80,000 people, right?" One of the strategists exclaimed.

"Bluff!" Xiahou Yuan sneered: "There are only 80,000 soldiers and horses in Youji, if there are 80,000 horses, why bother?" It is enough to directly attack Yecheng, and order the three armies to camp and repair, and then break the camp tomorrow. ”

"Whoa!" When the generals heard this, they bowed down and took orders, and retreated to the bank of Zhangshui.

"General, why did Cao Jun leave?" One lieutenant general wondered.

Zhang Liao glanced at the direction of Xiahou Yuan's retreat, and said with a smile: "This is leading us to attack, he failed to see through the reality of our army, and did not dare to attack rashly, so all departments should be strictly guarded against, and they should not be taken lightly!" ”

"Whoa!"

After the two sides met, they did not immediately start the war as expected, both Zhang Liao and Xiahou Yuan, both knew that their opponents were not easy to deal with, and they were very cautious with each other, Xiahou Yuan did not see Zhang Liao to attack until he set up a camp, and he was a little disappointed, and after arranging the defense, he entered the military camp.

"General, according to my observation, Zhang Liao besieged Yecheng this time, probably not for Yecheng, but for the general." A staff member bowed to Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan nodded, he naturally saw that the circle of camps was simply for reinforcements, and he thought about it and said, "Li Zhao." ”

"The last general!" Deputy General Li Zhao stepped forward and bowed.

"You take a detachment of divisions upstream to find out if it is possible to dig up the Zhangshui." Xiahou Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Lu Bu suffered a loss here back then, and I'm afraid Zhang Liao will not repeat the mistake this time." The staff shook their heads.

"You have to give it a try." Xiahou Yuan nodded, on the desktop, someone had already drawn the current layout of Yecheng and placed it in front of Xiahou Yuan.

"This circle of ghost things really makes us unable to see through Zhang Liao's reality at all." Xiahou Yuan frowned and said, "Let's test it tomorrow." ”

Pick up the pen and draw three lines on the paper: "Order three groups of men and horses to attack in three places, if he really scatters his forces, he will definitely not be able to take care of them, we can avoid the real and destroy this ghost thing first!" ”

"The general is wise!" The staff looked at the map and nodded approvingly.

Early the next morning, Xiahou Yuan lined up outside Yecheng, Zhang Liao took a group of people to the fortifications, the two looked at each other from a distance, Xiahou Yuan stepped forward, came to an arrow away, and said coldly: "Why did Wenyuan invade my city for no reason?" ”

"For no reason?" Zhang Liao snorted coldly, and said loudly: "Your lord sent to assassinate my lord at this moment for no reason, how can it be for no reason, my lord has an order, in order to show sincerity, you should give up the entire territory of Jizhou, and my lord will not pursue it with you!" ”

"Shut up!" Hearing the assassination, Xiahou Yuan's face was a little gloomy, the previous assassination, but covering the entire territory under Cao Cao's rule, Jizhou is naturally no exception, and as the top general of Jizhou, Xiahou Yuan is even more focused on taking care of, in three days, he suffered seventeen assassinations in succession, and the guards around him were almost wiped out, so he had to reorganize the personal guards, and now when he heard Zhang Liao take this, he couldn't help but be furious: "I don't know if my lord sent someone to assassinate Lu Bu, but Lu Bu sent someone to assassinate innocent officials before, how should this account be calculated?" ”

"Ridiculous, how do you know that those assassins were sent by my lord?" Zhang Liao sneered.

"Then what evidence do you have that my lord once sent someone to assassinate Lu Bu!" Xiahou Yuan glared.

"One of those assassins was captured, and now he has confessed." Zhang Liao said disdainfully.

"I won't argue with you, but if you want us to get out of Jizhou, we can only step over my corpse!" Xiahou Yuan said angrily: "Let's come up to the battlefield to see the real chapter!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Liaolang said.

Xiahou Yuan turned his horse's head, returned to his true nature, waved his hand, the horn sounded, and a team of 1,000 people quickly formed a phalanx and began to approach the circle attack, with one shield in front, and the archers behind began to bend their bows and arrows under the protection of the shields.

"General, a phalanx appeared on the left and right battalions and began to approach." The deputy general came to Zhang Liao's side and bowed.

"Heh~" Zhang Liao glanced at the direction of Xiahou Yuan and sneered: "If you want to explore my reality, it's not so easy!" Order both sides to attack Cao Jun, and the middle fortifications must not release arrows! Gather the archers here! ”

"Whoa!" The adjutant general agreed, and soon, rows of archers gathered behind Zhang Liao, and seeing that the soldiers and horses in front of the opponent had already entered the firing range, he waved his hand at the moment: "The archers release their arrows, and the crossbowmen below are on standby!" ”

The archers began to shoot at the opponent's shield array, and rows of shield soldiers stepped forward to shield the archers from the clusters of arrows fired by Cao's archers.

"Newspaper~"

A scout rushed to Xiahou Yuan's side and said in a deep voice: "General, the enemy forces on both sides have encountered strong resistance and heavy losses, and the formation has been broken up and withdrawn. ”

"Humph!" When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he glanced at the more and more archers gathered on Zhang Liao's side, although he also shot a lot of people, but he was not able to break up the phalanx, he couldn't help sneering, waved the command flag and said: "Concentrate your forces, attack!" ”

"Kill!"

Four or five storming carts were pushed over, and a group of Cao Jun began to charge in the direction of Zhang Liao with shields on their heads.

"Keep firing the arrows, the crossbowmen are on standby!" Zhang Liao watched Xiahou Yuan's army begin to press on this side, a look of excitement flashed in his eyes, but he did not immediately order the arrows to be released, the vanguard of the other party had already rushed to the bottom of the wall, began to climb, and fought with the soldiers standing on the wall, and for a while, they were entangled.

Zhang Liao ignored the vanguard, just coldly watched as the main force of Cao's army began to approach this side.

Three hundred steps, the vanguard is still entangled with the soldiers guarding the wall, with only a few hundred people, even if the various crossbowmen hidden below do not move, it is not enough to break through Zhang Liao.

Two hundred steps, some people began to want to destroy the wall, but this is specially designed, there are three layers of wooden piles inside, with manpower, it is impossible to destroy the wall.

In a hundred steps, Xiahou Yuan's vanguard began to retreat, and the main army began to sprint.

"Steady!" Zhang Liao snorted coldly and slowly raised his right hand.

"Fifty steps!" The vanguard that had just been driven down began to turn around and attack again, and Zhang Liao's raised right arm slashed down fiercely: "Crossbowman, shoot me!" (To be continued.) )
