Throughout the late Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms era, grain and grass are particularly important for the army, if nothing else, just say Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, these people, almost every war has to face the threat of running out of food. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Grain and grass have always been a heart disease, but Zhang Cheng knows that now that these are there, it is obviously not something he needs to worry about.

After the discussion was over, Zhang Cheng came to the big tent and walked around and learned a little about the situation.

Only then did I know why Zhang Niujiao had 500,000 troops, but in the end he was trapped in Taihang Mountain.

Zhang Niujiao's subordinates, almost no decent armor, the weapons in their hands, are even more varied, have their own bows and arrows, hunting is OK, on the battlefield and the strong bows and crossbows of the official army are still a lot worse, as for other weapons, it is even more regrettable, some of them are still holding vegetable rakes, shovels and other things, relying on these things, want to break through the wall to make the city thick Yecheng, if it is not to occupy the absolute advantage of troops, I am afraid it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

That's it, in Zhang Niujiao's army, Zhang Cheng even saw a lot of children and old people, the good and the bad were uneven, and it was definitely difficult to make a difference if the armor was backward.

Although Zhang Cheng is not a master of the art of war, he still understands the principle that there are not many soldiers but fine, and he still understands the principle that he will not be brave but strategic.

But Zhang Cheng also knew that it was too early to think about this, his army of 50,000 seemed to be a lot, but in the face of Zhang Niujiao's army of 500,000, he was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no trace at all.

After arranging a place for Zhang Cheng and the others, Zhang Chengcheng returned to his big tent to rest.

"Qu Shuai, this horn is not an ordinary character," Zang Ba reminded.

"Oh? How so? Zhang Cheng asked.

"Qu Shuai didn't know, when the cavalry of General Tiangong swept the world, it also attracted the attention of the people of the world, and at this time, Zhang Niujiao also led the army to revolt, General Tiangong only gathered more than 300,000 people, but he had 500,000 troops, it can be seen from here that this person is very good at forbearance"

Zhang Cheng knew these for a long time, but when he heard the word forbearance, Zhang Cheng's heart suddenly tightened, throughout the ages, people who are good at forbearance are terrible heroes.

Zhang Niujiao in history died too early, and he didn't know what kind of person he was.

"Then you say that Ben Jiang should be forbearant now, or should he be sharp?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"Qu Shuai, you don't have to think about it at all, of course you have to be sharp, this is a den of thieves, not the imperial court, if you want to win back the hearts of the people, you must show your ability, because as a thief, your status is based on promotion"

"Push?" When Zhang Cheng heard this, he realized that after the death of Zhang Niujiao, it was not passed on to Chu Yan, but later, this gang of thieves elected Chu Yan as the leader, and it can be seen from here that the current Taihang Mountain Bandits are a bit like the votes of later generations, and only respected people can be elected.

"Got it"

“.........”

Early the next morning, Zhang Niujiao convened everyone to discuss the matter, and Zhang Cheng was also in the list.

When they came to Zhang Niujiao's Chinese army tent, several people were gnawing on the leg of mutton, eating a greasy mouth, Zhang Cheng simply took the leg of mutton and gnawed it, and finally picked up the wine bottle and drank a big sip of wine, and then exclaimed: "It's so fucking cool"

Everyone was speechless when they heard this, even Chu Yan stared at Zhang Cheng in surprise, of course, in their opinion, Zhang Cheng was all motivated by feelings, and they saw that Zhang Xiang had been suppressed for a long time.

"After you have eaten, continue to attack the city," Zhang Niujiao said.

"The big leader, I am willing to lead the cavalry and press the battle for the big leader" Zhang Cheng immediately got up and said.

In the siege battle, it seems that the besieging side is the most important, but in fact, the cavalry behind the formation is the most important, because once the army in the city implements a surprise attack, if there is no cavalry, it will definitely be beaten into chaos.

"Pressing the array? No, I have an army of 300,000, can Guan Chun in the city still dare to come out? "Zhang Niujiao is obviously not the same thing.

When Zhang Cheng heard this, he was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect that this horn didn't even understand this bit of common sense.

"Big leader, this Guan Chun is a famous general in Jizhou, besides, the big leader has besieged the city for so long, it is difficult to guarantee that Guan Chun will not break through, if there is no cavalry to suppress the formation, I am afraid it will ......."

"Hmph, it's okay if he doesn't come out, if he comes out, I'll let him die without a place to bury" Zhang Niujiao was a little unhappy.

Zhang Cheng is not easy to persuade again.

After everyone cleaned up, they saw Zhang Niujiao's subordinates in the formation under the city, saying that they were in formation, but in fact they were standing in line.

Compared with Huangfu Song's military formation, it was simply more than a step behind, and what surprised Zhang Cheng even more was that Zhang Niujiao's subordinates had almost no siege equipment, only a few old thunderbolt vehicles, which made Zhang Cheng wonder, what did he take to attack the city?

I saw Zhang Niujiao standing on the middle of the general's platform, shouting: "Siege the city"

Someone on the edge of the "siege" suddenly shouted at the top of their voices, and in this way, one person passed from one person to another, and the mighty army, some of which had already run fifty paces, and some of the phalanxes had just attacked, and they were in chaos for a while.

Zhang Cheng looked at it, and was speechless for a while, no culture, it's really terrible, there is not even a command flag, the general leader of the battle, each phalanx is equipped with several flag soldiers, the middle master will wave the command flag, the flag soldiers of the other phalanx will wave the order flag, the army is like an arm, I didn't expect that today's horn really opened Zhang Cheng's eyes.

Hundreds of thousands of troops, in no particular order, and there were no feints and assists, they just surrounded them in all directions, carrying the ladder and rushing online.

Guan Chun at the head of the city is a famous general in Jizhou, but he is not a vegetarian, although there are less than 10,000 people, but he is in order.

As soon as they approached the city wall, the officers and soldiers at the head of the city ordered to release arrows, and for a while the arrows were like flying locusts, and Zhang Niujiao's subordinates suddenly fell to the ground.

In some places, a vacuum was even ejected, and no one survived.

This time, Zhang Chengdu couldn't stand it, in fact, it is no wonder that every time he attacks the city, he has to face the rain of arrows at the head of the city, but the casualties are not so big? Why? Because everyone has armor, most of them are light armor in the late Han Dynasty, but even if it is light armor, it has a certain defensive power, and if there is a shield, the damage caused will not be very large.

Where is there such a thing as a bull's horn? They are all dressed in coarse cloth, and some are even shirtless, this is obviously a death squad, where is the siege?

No wonder Zhang Niujiao's hundreds of thousands of troops have been attacking the city for several days, and they haven't even touched the head of the city.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Chu Yan didn't know when she appeared next to Zhang Cheng, and when she saw Zhang Cheng's brows tightened, she asked.

"Big brother, why do you think my uncle chose this way to attack the city?"

"Alas" Chu Yan sighed, and then said: "Actually, my father-in-law was forced to do this."
