After Zhang Bao got the news of the invasion of Zhang He's army, he immediately led his army of 20,000 to Jinan County and Jizhou, the county seat adjacent to Jizhou, to defend Zhang He. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info including 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry. At this time, the army of Dian Wei and Guan Hai had not yet arrived.

When Zhang Bao's army came to the county seat, Zhang He's army also came outside the county. After Zhang Bao got the report, he led the infantry to the city wall of the county seat non-stop and ordered the cavalry to rest. In Zhang Bao's opinion, the infantry was enough to defend the city.

As soon as Zhang Bao's army stood firm on the city wall, Zhang He commanded his soldiers under the command of Ta to begin the siege. didn't even give Zhang Bao time to breathe.

Seeing this, Zhang Bao said to Chen Gong beside him: "Strategist, do you say that this Zhang He's brain is not lacking in tendons!" His subordinates are sleepy and tired, and they don't rest much, but directly attack the city, and he is not afraid of exhausting his subordinates to death! ”

Hearing this, Chen Gong said with a heavy expression: "Lord, I'm afraid we're in big trouble!" Zhang He is not stupid at all, on the contrary, he is very smart. Although his men are tired, our men are also tired. And we're not ready to defend at all, plus the opponent's soldiers are more elite than us. This battle is very hanging! ”

Zhang Bao laughed when he heard this: "What are you afraid of! We have 200 guards from the Zhang family, as well as my special combat team, all of which are very powerful existences, what can Zhang He do to me? ”

Chen Gong frowned and said nothing when he heard this, because he found out from Zhang He's siege method: Zhang He was not blindly attacking the city, but prepared in advance. Maybe this is also the reason why he came to the county seat with his father-in-law.

Zhang Bao doesn't know much about offensive and defensive warfare now, and he is also full of confidence in his personal guards and special combat team. He directly handed over the defense task to Hou Da, and took Li San back to the city tower to rest. He was in a hurry all the way, and he was really sleepy. Chen Gong did not dare to rest, he insisted on defending the city with the army.

Zhang He did slow down his pace of coming to the county seat. He was ready to attack the city on the way, and Tanma had been reporting to him the location of Zhang Bao's army. He controlled the army and Zhang Bao's army came to the county seat at about the same time. That's what he wants.

Zhang He first sent 3,000 infantry troops to attack the city, and he wanted to test the combat strength of Zhang Bao's army. When he found that the 3,000 troops besieging the city had come under the city walls almost without any damage, Zhang He smiled, he knew that Zhang Bao was really not prepared for defense. So Zhang Bao pulled out his sword and shouted: "Everyone will attack the city with me, we must take the county seat at one time, and those who dare to retreat will be killed!" ”

After Zhang He finished shouting, he took his personal guards and took the lead in killing the county seat. At this time, the low city walls of the county seat were full of siege ladders. Although the soldiers defending the city struggled to destroy the ladder, they were really tired.

Although Zhang Bao's army has a lot of people, most of these people are from the Yellow Turban Army and have not undergone decent training. Although the five captains are all veterans, the recruits have no combat effectiveness at all.

Zhang He's army under the city also discovered this situation, and shot those brave veterans with bows and arrows accurately. As soon as the veteran died, the recruit almost didn't even dare to stick out his head, and the consequences can be imagined - Zhang He's army climbed the city wall one after another.

"The lord is not good! The lord is not good! The enemy has climbed the walls! Let's get out of here! Chen Gong saw that the general trend had gone, and hurriedly rushed into the city tower and shouted Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao was shocked when he heard this: "How is this possible? After saying that, Zhang Bao picked up his trumpet Qinglong Yanyue Knife and walked out.

Zhang Bao came outside and saw that the guards and special combat teams were fighting hard to the death with the enemy, and the soldiers of his own side in the distance were dying and surrendering. Seeing this, Zhang Bao knew that the general trend had gone, and shouted: "Quickly retreat, withdraw from the county seat with me, and retreat in the direction of the west gate." ”

After Zhang Bao finished shouting, he quickly withdrew under the city wall. Fortunately, Zhang Bao evacuated quickly enough, and Zhang He's army was still cleaning up Zhang Bao's remnants on the city wall at this time, and he didn't have time to capture the city wall.

The shouts of killing on the city walls had already alarmed the cavalry in the city. As soon as the cavalry came to the city wall, they saw their lord Zhang Bao leading people to retreat to the city.

When Zhang Bao saw the arrival of the cavalry, he wanted to fight back, but Chen Gong said loudly: "The lord must not, the morale of our army is low, the enemy is numerous, you can't fight, evacuate quickly." ”

Zhang Bao then got on his horse, and after seeing all the members of the special combat team withdrawing, he saw with his own eyes that more than half of the 200 guards were killed and wounded, and sadly led the cavalry to quickly evacuate the county seat.

An hour ago, 20,000 people entered the county. An hour later, only half of the people came out of the county. Zhang Bao suffered this defeat, and his mood was not ordinarily bad! However, what made him depressed was still behind, because he found that Zhang He personally chased after him from behind with 20,000 cavalry.

"Withdraw! Everyone accelerated their evacuation to the nearest battalion. Zhang Bao shouted loudly.

However, because Zhang Bao's cavalry was also recently established, these people were all newly turned into cavalry, and their riding skills were not at all the opponents of Zhang He's 20,000 elite cavalry. Many people were nervously turning on their backs. And with the full pursuit of Zhang He's army, more and more people under Zhang Bao made mistakes. was chased by Zhang He's army for a hundred and ten miles, and only 2,000 people with superb riding skills remained. There are also Zhang Bao's special combat team and dozens of personal guards.

Fortunately, there is the Yellow River between Zhuxian and Yingxian. Although there are pontoon bridges on the Yellow River, they are not suitable for large groups of cavalry to pass through. After Zhang Bao's 2,000 horsemen crossed the Yellow River, Zhang Bao said to Hou Dadao: "Hou Da, take everyone in the special combat team to the pontoon bridge to block Zhang He's army." Remember to use more bows and crossbows, after the crossbow arrows are used up, you quickly catch up with me, and we will meet in the county and county at the latest. ”

When Hou Da heard this, he raised his right hand, and all the special combat team members took the initiative to break away from the brigade, and then followed Hou Da to counterattack the pontoon bridge. The special forces team is really not Gaide! Zhang He chased dozens of riders across the pontoon bridge, and all of them died in one shot. Then Hou Da 43 people raised their crossbow arrows and fired. With one arrow and one person, Leng prevented Zhang He's cavalry from crossing the bridge. This is also the reason why the bridge is too long, and Zhang He's army can't attack on the narrow pontoon bridge.

After Hou Da waited for the brothers to release the arrows, he smiled coldly, and then quickly evacuated with the special combat team.

Zhang He was really shocked by the combat power displayed by Hou Da's forty people: tough! It's really tough! If the Qingzhou army is all such a strong soldier, who else can defeat them.

"General, the enemy has fled far away, should we still chase after it?" Zhang He's deputy saw Zhang He looking at the back of Hou Da and his party in a daze, and hurriedly hugged his fists and asked.

Zhang He shook his head when he heard the words and said, "Don't chase anymore!" But we can't rest yet. Enemy reinforcements could arrive at any moment. If we can't take the opportunity to take the county seat of Yingxian, then it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in Qingzhou. The order was given, and the cavalry continued to advance towards the camp and county, ordering the infantry to speed up. Be sure to take the county seat of Yingxian tonight. After that, let's have a good rest in Yingxian.

"Yes!" The lieutenant general took the order and left.

After Zhang Bao led the army to retreat to the county seat of Yingxian County, he joined the 1,000 defenders defending the city. Knowing that Dian Wei and Guan Hai's reinforcements had not yet arrived, and Yingxian was not ready to defend, Zhang Bao was suddenly a little frustrated, this was the most unsuccessful battle since he crossed.

Chen Gong saw that Zhang Bao was not very interested, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "Lord, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers!" It's just that his subordinates are too greedy! If we abandon the county and directly defend the county seat of Yingxian, how can Zhang He take advantage of it! It's all the fault of his subordinates, so that the lord has suffered such a big loss! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bao hurriedly sobered up, helped up Chen Gong, who had fallen down, and said, "Don't blame yourself!" I'm fully responsible as the manager! It's all my fault for underestimating the heroes of the world. What do we do now? ”

Hearing this, Chen Gong hurriedly said: "My lord, after we wait for the special combat team to return, we must quickly evacuate the county seat of Yingxian. If we force us to stay, it will give Zhang Jaw a chance to take advantage of it! We can't afford to make the same mistake a second time. ”

"My lord! The subordinate is back! At this time, Hou Da rode a horse to Zhang Bao's front and said.

Zhang Bao nodded when she heard this: "Are the brothers injured?" ”

"Please rest assured, my brothers, are all right!" Hou Da hugged his fists.

Zhang Bao nodded when he heard this: "Okay!" It's okay! Passing on my order, the army quickly withdrew from the county seat of Yingxian and withdrew to Taixian. Hou Da led people to pay close attention to the movements of Zhang He's army. Even if you take a break, take turns to rest. ”

Chen Gong frowned when he heard this: "Lord, Zhang He's army shouldn't be chasing after you!" His men are also exhausted! ”

Zhang Bao shook his head when he heard this: "Let's be careful." Hou Da, thank you for your hard work. ”

"Please rest assured! The subordinates undertook to closely monitor the enemy's every move. Hou Da hugged his fists.

Zhang Bao nodded, and then quickly withdrew from Yingxian County with a large army. Hou Da also took his five subordinates to hide around Yingxian.

Zhang Bao's worries were superfluous, after Zhang He's army came to the county seat of Yingxian, he found that Yingxian was no longer defended by Zhang Bao's army, so Zhang He ordered the army to rest for two days. He also admired Zhang Bao's ability to make wise choices quickly.
