The siege continued. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info from noon to dusk. The corpses were stacked like a mountain in front of the pot. The Zhou army suffered more than 1,000 casualties. But not one of them was able to capture the city.

Today's siege is only tentative. Zhang Yuan has seen the danger of Huguan. and no more vain soldiers. Ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Night. King's Tent.

"The terrain of that pot is too narrow. Our soldiers were crowded under the city. Half of the dead were wounded by arrows from the city. Such a strong attack is not the best policy. Du, who was in charge of the attack, sighed.

Zhang Yuan and the others nodded slightly. You don't need to say it to see it.

Then. Li Cunxiao said: "King Zhou." It is better to postpone the siege. Wait for the thunder cannon to arrive. Break the pot in one fell swoop. ”

"This pot is taken from the rocks on the spot. And the walls shall be exceedingly strong. I'm afraid that the thunder cannon won't help. Du pre shook his head.

"It's not going to work either. That won't work either. What should I do? Li Dingguo was impatient. He shouted, "It took us a long time. It's just to take the pot off unexpectedly. If it drags on any longer. Waiting for Yuan Shang's miscellaneous reinforcements to arrive. Wouldn't we be even more unable to hold the pot? ”

After a while of discussion. looked at Zhang Yuan in unison.

Zhang Yuan, who has been groaning for a long time. Slowly stand up. Walked over to the map and scanned a few points. Pointing to the point, he said: "Li Cunxiaotian Shan Zhong is here." ”

"The end will be." The two of them are busy out of the ranks.

Zhang Yuan's hand pointed to the north of the map. He ordered: "This king has ordered you to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses each. Bypass the kettle. Sweep the cities to the north. Hold back the Vietnamese troops who come to their aid. ”

"No."

"The number of soldiers is the advantage of our army. If you can take the rest of the cities of Shangdang. can stop Yuan Shang's reinforcements. Enclose the pot into a lonely city. Attack again at the right time. It's a good idea. Li Si nodded.

Zhang Yuan smiled. He waved his warrant again: "Our true intentions have been exposed. Xiao Maha's soldiers and horses all the way don't need to act anymore. Give him a quick order. The fate rate led the army of Kasaka to the north. Give me another break from attacking. Drag Yuan Shang. ”

This time, Yan attacked Shangdang County. Zhang Yuan led nearly 80,000 main forces. Xiao Maha is on the line of Kasaka. There were still more than 30,000 troops. The bluff is in the middle of the attack. Zhang Yuan ordered him to attack the boundary all the way. is to firmly hold Yuan Shang. He was unable to send troops to rescue Huguan.

The order was handed down. Li Cunxiao and Tian Dan each led 5,000 elite soldiers. Over the mountains and mountains. Bypass the kettle. and went to conquer the cities of the north.

The soldiers and horses of the Shangdang are all gathered in Huguan. The rest of the counties were empty of garrisons. Yuan Shang's reinforcements did not arrive in time. Where the Zhou army passed. Lu County, Xiangyuan, Tonglu and other counties. Almost bloodless. All of them were trapped by the Zhou army.

Two days later. Li Cunxiao led 5,000 elite soldiers. Kill the northernmost county of the Supreme Party. is with Yuan Shang's orders. Yan Liang, who led 3,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce him, met.

Yan Liang's force is not as good as Li Cunxiao's. The ability to command troops is not as good as Li Cunxiao's. The number of soldiers and horses is also inferior to Li Cunxiao. The outcome of this encounter can be imagined.

Fierce battle for half an hour. Nearly 1,000 Vietnamese troops were killed or wounded. Yan Liang was defeated by Li Cunxiao. Defeated and fled.

Li Cunxiao also did not chase after Yan Liang's defeated army. According to Zhang Yuan's prior order. After capturing Nexian, the army stopped. Blocked the route from Yueyang to aid Huguan.

Now. Yuan Shang has led more than 10,000 main forces. Rushed back to Yueyang. is waiting for the news of Yan Liang's reinforcements to Huguan.

Pity. I waited uneasily for a few days. Yuan Shang waited for the defeated Yan Liang. There is also the bad news of the fall of Nexian.

"The city of Nirvana has been lost. Zhang Yuan used his troops so quickly. Yuan Shang gasped.

"Nee County is lost. The road to Huguan was blocked. It's even harder for us to save the pot again. Tian Feng said with a frown.

Yuan Shang's ministers. I panicked for a moment. Everyone has the word solemn written on their faces.

Yuan Shang clenched his fists. Gritted his teeth and said, "It's so far." It seems that Bengong can only use the troops at hand to recapture Nirvana. No matter how good it is, you have to save the pot. ”

The voice fell. A horse scolding Wen galloped over. exclaimed: "Yu Yue Gong." Xiao Maha, who was located in Pusaka Castle, suddenly led his army north. Attack our realm again. ”

Zhou Jun committed another offense.

This amazing news. made all the ministers present change color in shock. Yuan Shang's figure shook even more in shock.

"Xiao Maha is a soldier all the way. It was clear that Zhang Yuan wanted to hold us back. So that we can't divide our forces to save the pot pass. Tian Feng said in a deep voice.

Yuan Shang hated it. I only hate myself for having too few soldiers. was killed by Zhang Yuan to the point that the two could not take care of each other. I don't know which way to save.

Saving the world is still saving the pot. Yuan Shang could only choose one way.

Salvation Hugh. The pot closes the first line. The Zhou army could go north unhindered. After entering the Yueyang side from the southeast. Yuan Shang painstakingly managed the boundary rest line of defense. Turned into Li You.

If you go to save the pot. And there are only more than a thousand soldiers in the realm. If broken. Zhang Yuan's army can be from the south avenue. All the way to Yueyang. He relied on the strength of his troops. There is simply no way to stop.

The danger of two paths. It's all about survival. Yuan Shang did not have enough troops at hand. I really can't decide which one to save.

"Let's go save the pot first. After all, the enemy of Huguan is the main force of the Zhou army. And the Xiao Maha Department of the Jie Xiu. But more than 10,000 people. Tian Feng persuaded.

Yuan Shangsi thought about it. It's right to think about it. He was ready to order to lead the army to save Huguan. So he looked at Sima Yi again. I want to hear his opinion.

Yuan Shang thought. Sima Yi will also support to save the pot pass. After all. In addition to the reasons that Tian Feng said. The Sima clan. and his fiancée, the Zhang family. All remain in the kettle. Out of concern for the safety of his family. Sima Yi should also advocate to save Huguan.

"Yue Gong. Yi thought. We should go to the salvation of Hugh. Sima Yi gritted his teeth. Deep voice.

Yuan Shang's expression changed. Obviously, Sima Yi's reminder was quite surprised.

Sima Yi pointed to the south and said, "The direction of the boundary is closed." Since ancient times, it has been the main road to conquer Yueyang. The roads are relatively smooth. Once Zhang Yuan captured the Netherworld, Hugh. Grain and grass soldiers can enter Taiyuan County unimpeded. Take the sun directly. Therefore, it is necessary to guard the sun. The first thing to do is to keep the border. ”

"All the way to Shangdang County." Sima Yi pointed to the southeast again. "Although it can also lead to Yueyang. The road is even rougher. It is not conducive to the transfer of grain and grass. Although Zhang Yuan captured the cities of Shangdang. It even cut off the passage of our rescue pot. But the most important thing is the pot off. But it's still firmly in our hands. ”

Speaking of which. Sima Yi's young face. Add a bit of pride. "Huguan Chengtun has enough grain for April. The castle is built of rocks. Even the Zhou army's heavenly thunder cannon was extremely difficult to break. Yi thought. With Guo Yuan's ability. Three thousand soldiers and horses were enough to hold it. ”

Sima Yi said. Yuan Shang's anxious mood. Gradually, it eased up a lot. I couldn't stop nodding. Regained his composure.

At last. Sima Yi took a light breath. Said coldly: "As long as Zhang Yuan can't take the pot." The flanks of the sun are as steady as a rock. We can concentrate our main forces. Go to Jiexiu to repel Xiao Maha's thief army all the way. Then wait for the spring rains. The Taihang road was stuck in mud. When Zhang Yuan's grain and grass transportation was poor. Then move to the pot off. Aren't you afraid that you can't break Zhang Yuan? ”
