Chapter Seventy-Five: The Black Mountain Army Attacks Yecheng
Yun Sheng stood on top of the castle tower and looked into the distance......
My mind gradually emptied......
According to the spies, there is still half a day before Yuan Shao's army is in the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, a person suddenly came up, and this person was Xiahou Yuan.
"There is still half a day before Yuan Shao's army arrives." Xiahou Yuan stepped forward and stood side by side with Yun Sheng, and suddenly spoke.
Yun Sheng nodded, with no expression on his face.
Xiahou Yuan didn't seem to feel the embarrassment of the atmosphere, "What you said has been done." It's just that when they purchased oil, I don't know if they knew it in advance or something, and the price of oil was doubled. We'll buy fifty barrels first, and if you don't think it's enough, we'll buy it again. ”
For Yun Sheng, the oil is only used on the enemy troops who climb the ladder, and the quantity does not need to be too much.
What's more, the collection of big stones ordered by Yun Sheng has already been completed, and when the time comes, as long as the big stones are alternately used with boiling hot oil, they will not be used too much.
It's just that I don't know how many soldiers and horses Yuan Shao brought here, and whether Yang Feng can successfully harass Yuan Shao's rear. There is also the fact that the reinforcements sent by Meng De will not arrive in time.
That's all Yun Sheng was more worried about, he wasn't worried about whether the rest could hold Yingchuan, or he didn't think that Yuan Shao would be able to break through Yingchuan's defense in a short time.
According to Yun Sheng's estimate, Yuan Shao will send a maximum of 20,000 horses this time, although the defenders of Yingchuan are only 5,000 at this time, but Yun Sheng believes that Xiahou Yuan will not let him down.
Taking a step back, even if Yingchuan could not withstand the fierce offensive of Yuan Shao's army, it would at least be able to hold the city gate for three or five days.
Three or five days is enough time for Yang Feng to harass, even if Meng De's reinforcements are the slower, they will arrive on the fourth day.
Yun Sheng still nodded and did not reply to Xiahou Yuan's words.
Looking at the terrain outside the city, Yun Sheng thought that the problem that was more difficult to solve now was the plain of at least five miles around the outside of the city.
These five miles of land are really empty!
This is of great help to the besieging side, and the open terrain can not only make the numerical advantage of Yuan Shao's army greater, but also allow Yuan Shao's large siege equipment to exert greater power.
But fortunately, through the Yingchuan map provided by the eldest brother Li Hao, it is marked that there is a forest five miles away. After Yunsheng's observation, as long as he passed through this forest, he could always rush to Jizhou in the shortest distance in a straight line.
Next to this grove there is a river, not very big and not small, about twenty or thirty meters wide.
According to Eviansheng's calculations, Yuan Shao's army should have chosen to camp near the river when it arrived.
A river, a wood, and five miles of open land......
These three conditions couldn't help but flash in Yun Sheng's mind. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but whisper out, "A river...... A forest of trees...... Five miles of open ......"
Xiahou Yuan on the side looked at Yun Sheng suspiciously, "What were you talking about just now?" ”
Yun Sheng was reminded by Xiahou Yuan's question, "No, it's nothing." ”
Although he was interrupted by Xiahou Yuan just now, Yun Sheng had a new idea for the next battle, as long as he went back and thought about it quietly, he should be able to use it in the near future.
"Let's go, let's go back. Yuan Shao's army will not arrive for the time being. Turning around calmly, Yun Sheng said as he walked back.
After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan glanced at the open space outside the city a few more times, and suddenly felt more pressure. didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly kept up with Yun Sheng's pace of walking.
......
The man who drank with Yang Feng that day appeared in Wei County at this time.
In a large mansion in Wei County.
The nine people in the lobby were clearly divided into two factions, sitting on one side.
One of the five people opposite the man should be a middle-aged man led by five people, and asked in a deep voice, "What about the 50,000 soldiers and horses you said?" ”
The man waved his hand, "Don't think we're the kind of villains who don't keep their promises. The 50,000 brothers I brought with me have already set up an ambush outside the city. The three next to me are all my generals, and they will lead my 50,000 soldiers and horses in this operation. ”
"Your Montenegrin army has been cornered by Yuan Shao, why are you still like this?" The leader asked the man.
The man frowned, and said with a displeased expression: "Our Black Mountain Army was indeed crushed by Yuan Shao, but it is different from what is being discussed now. Besides, this is a joint decision within our Montenegrin army, so I won't bother with you. ”
"Zhang Yan! Don't think that without us, the Montenegrin Army will not dare to rebel! ”
It turned out that the man who drank with Yang Feng was Zhang Yan.
For a moment, both sides were a little tense.
In the end, it was Zhang Yan who took a step back first, "The time is almost up, let's go back and mobilize the troops first." When the time comes, you will help open the gates and let us in." ”
The leader on the other side was obviously a more rational person, and he also took a step back, "Okay. We also need to replace the guards guarding the gates, and when the gates are opened, we will loot and talk about other things. ”
The bigwigs on both sides spoke, and of course the lowly people didn't dare to choke on anything anymore.
It didn't take long for Zhang Yan to lead 50,000 Montenegrin troops to attack Wei County, and with the help of the rebellious soldiers in the city, he effortlessly took the four city gates.
The army has always entered, and under Zhang Yan's prior explanation, the Montenegrin army first ransacked the county's treasury, and then robbed the clans in the city.
After that, Zhang Yan led 50,000 Montenegrin troops and soldiers with the rebellious Wei soldiers. After a brief discussion between the two sides, the army drove straight to Yecheng.
After a hurried journey, the army arrived at Yecheng in less than half a day.
Yecheng is thirty miles away.
Zhang Yan rode a horse and looked at Yecheng from afar, in his eyes, Yecheng was indeed difficult to conquer in normal times, but today there are rebels of Yuan Shaojun.
As long as the rebels pretend to be the scattered soldiers and horses who fled from the ruined Wei County City, and then lead the army to attack Yecheng after they have all entered Yecheng.
Then he joined forces with Yuan Shao's rebels in the city to take Yecheng in one fell swoop. You must know that in Zhang Yan's intelligence, Yuan Shao's family is all in it.
If there are these people, he will definitely be able to make him throw a rat trap in the future, and he will not dare to act rashly.
Whether it is really used to threaten Yuan Shao or say something in the future, it is very valuable.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yan discussed it with the leader of the Yuan Shao rebels, and the Yuan Shao rebels dressed up, hey! Not to mention that the exhaustion after the Great War is real.
After dressing up, Yuan Shao's rebels went directly to Yecheng City.
"Stop! Who are you? The Yecheng gatekeeper who was on duty shouted at Yuan Shao's rebels and asked.
