At night, it was dark and dreary, without a trace of light, just like Zhang Xun's bleak mood. =Gold==Leaderboard=

People have directional thinking, during siege warfare, after the attacking side captures a city gate, it will generally stop the attack on the rest of the city walls, and turn to enter the city from the city gate that has already been captured, because after all, it is much easier to enter the city through the city gate than to climb over the city wall. Because of this, Zhang Xun is full of confidence in this war.

A city gate that is not spacious, a urn city that is not large, the number of troops that can be invested at a time is limited, and it is impossible for the Xuzhou army to put all the troops into battle. With sandbags and partitions, the city should be relatively safer.

However, he didn't expect Tian Fan to still attack the city in an all-out way! Inside and outside the city, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and he sent out all the soldiers who could be sent out, but he still couldn't recover the decline. In the end, after a day's time, his sergeants suffered heavy casualties, accounting for more than one-third of the total number of troops, and at the same time, the four walls of Liyang City were completely lost, except for the gate tower of the north city and the urn city below, all of which were occupied by the Xuzhou army. All the places near the southern city wall were occupied by the Xuzhou army, and they advanced more than a mile into the city, only two miles away from Zhang Xun's general's mansion.

It's a disaster! This is the only thought of Zhang Xun now!

Zhang Xun's house, in the main hall.

The generals from all walks of life were in a bleak mood, and one by one they no longer had the high momentum before the war, and they had no intention of drinking and meat on the low table in front of them, but sighed, and their faces were full of mourning.

Zhang Xun rubbed his temples that were jumping suddenly, glanced at everyone, and said, "Everyone, let's talk about it, what should we do to keep the city?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, no one could say anything for a while, the battle was all over this, and they still wanted to keep the city?

Zhang Xun's eyes showed a deep disappointment, he could see that these generals were frightened by the combat strength and fighting spirit shown by the Xuzhou army in today's battle, if the battlefield situation did not change, he was afraid that they would soon collapse!

When he looked at Yuan Yin, he found that Yuan Yin was still calm and smiling. Zhang Xun's eyes couldn't help but light up, looking at this, Yuan Yin had an idea in his heart!

He hurriedly asked, "Mr. Yuan, do you have any ideas, might as well talk about it?" ”

The rest of the crowd immediately fixed their eyes on Yuan Yin's face and waited for him to speak. Gold List Novel

Yuan Yin smiled and said, "General, everyone! When the war reached such a situation, our army was indeed in decline, but ......" glanced at everyone, and he continued: "We are not without a chance of victory! ”

Zhang Xun's eyes lit up and asked, "Oh? Is there a way for Mr. Fei to turn the situation around? ”

Yuan Yin smiled slightly, and said: "Everyone, in today's battle, although we lost the East City and the West City, the North City Tower and the Urn City are still in our hands. That said, we still have a way out of town! ”

When Zhang Xun heard this, his face suddenly fell, he waved his hand like a fly, and said, "Escape?" I Zhang Xun can't do it! ”

Yuan Yin shook his head slowly and said, "General, it's not to run away, it's to go out of the city to attack the enemy's camp!" ”

Zhang Xun was stunned for a moment, only to hear Yuan Yin continue: "I have watched today's battle, and I have also found many sergeants and soldiers to understand. The number of troops sent by the Xuzhou army is conservatively estimated to be more than 50,000 people, and even Zheng Bao's Chaohu water army has participated in the war! What does this mean? ”

Zhang Xun and the others shook their heads, looked at Yuan Yin intently, and did not speak.

Yuan Yin smiled and said with a slight triumph: "The combat power and equipment of the Chaohu Water Army cannot be compared with the Xuzhou Army, it is completely two grades!" Tian Fan sent them all, which shows that the entire Xuzhou army has participated in the war! ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "So, their whole army is very tired! As long as we go out of the city through the north gate and attack their camp, they will be difficult to defend against! Hehe, when the time comes, the Xuzhou army camp will catch fire, and the Xuzhou army officers and soldiers in the city will inevitably be in chaos, and we will attack on all fronts, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Xuzhou army and take back all the positions in the city! ”

Zhang Xun nodded slowly, thinking about it for a long time, but he felt that this move was very feasible, as long as it could be successful, he would definitely be able to recover the decline.

Suddenly, he thought of something, his face fell, he slowly shook his head, and said, "Sir, the Xuzhou army is very tired, but our brothers are not tired?" Hehe, this plan...... Our brethren are all in the war today! ”

Yuan Yin smiled and said, "The general doesn't have to worry!" Well, General, not all of our brothers participated in the battle, the soldiers located in the city, and the soldiers in the obstacles that the Xuzhou army could not attack, they were idle all day! ”

Zhang Xun's eyes lit up, and he made a silent calculation in his heart, he found that there were more than 10,000 soldiers stationed in various obstacles in the city today, and there were more than 10,000 soldiers who did not participate in the battle today, which was completely enough!

After thinking about it, he said in a deep voice: "This battle is dangerous, but once it is successful, it is also a miracle, I don't know which of you is willing to command the brothers who go out of the city to fight?" ”

The generals avoided Zhang Xun's sharp eyes one after another, and couldn't help lowering their heads to their chests. {Gold} The battle is really dangerous. The Xuzhou army camp outside the city is likely to be prepared, and if it is blocked by the Xuzhou army as soon as it leaves the city, it will be miserable!

Seeing that no one was willing to go, Zhang Xun couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart! These people are usually more ruthless than anyone else in grabbing credit, but they want to throw their heads and spill their blood, but they have all become turtles with shrunken heads! At this moment, Zhang Xun felt very lucky that all the middle- and low-level officers in his generals were replaced by his own soldiers. If you don't do this, I'm afraid that in today's battle, all the armies will collapse!

Yuan Yin glanced at everyone, but he was also helpless. He clenched his fists and said to Zhang Xun: "General, the lower official can take on this important responsibility!" ”

Zhang Xun's eyes flashed and said, "Oh? I don't know which general it is? ”

Yuan Yin spit out two words expressionlessly: "Xia Lei!" ”

Zhang Xun looked stunned, and after a while, he said loudly: "Someone!" ”

Two colonels turned out of the door, clasped their fists and said, "No! ”

Zhang Xun said: "You go to prison and bring General Xia Lei here!" ”

The Colonel took the order and left.

After a while, Xia Lei was brought over. This person is the deputy general who Zhang Xun ordered to defend the city gate tower when Tian Fan deceived the city a few days ago. Because he lost the city gate, he was arrested by Zhang Xun and put in prison.

In fact, Zhang Xun likes this person very much, this person is brave in battle, and his mind is also very lively, and he is Zhang Xun's right-hand man. But in the midst of the war, not punishing him will affect the morale of the army, and Zhang Xun had to detain him.

Xia Lei is a happy person, as soon as he heard Zhang Xun's order, this person didn't say a word, agreed loudly, and strode away after putting on his helmet and armor. Zhang Xun ordered the rest of the generals to return to their respective positions, and prepare to counterattack on all fronts after the fire broke out outside the city!

Torches were lit everywhere in the city, and the whole city was lit up.

Except for a few who were in charge of vigilance, the soldiers in Xuzhou all fell asleep. On this day, they were really tired, especially the Xiandeng camp and the trapping camp who were responsible for seizing the city wall, as well as Tian Fan's three hundred iron guards.

At the end of the day, the only ironclad infantry in these armies suffered considerable losses, almost half of their men. Especially the soldiers of the first battalion, after the 800 first to go through several wars, there are only more than 200 left who still have the strength of the first battle. Fortunately, their mission has been basically completed, and the rest of the battle does not have to be completed by them. Koji is very distressed, but he also feels that this loss is worth it! The death of each of his soldiers was exchanged for the death of more than ten enemies, and most importantly, they completed their tasks.

In the urn in the south of the city, in Tian Fan's temporary tent. When he was approaching, all the generals were driven away by Tian Fan and took charge of their respective positions, but he still didn't sleep. The big tent was still brightly lit, and Tian Fan was discussing things with a few ministers.

Yuan Lian's eyelids were fighting, his eyes were bloodshot, and his temples were pounding. Resisting the urge to sleep, he said, "...... General Tian, everything has been arranged. The soldiers should be on duty at night, and they should sleep at night, and they should have all packed up. The people were all ready, and the officials promised them food and money......"

"Report ...... Emergency military intelligence! ”

A small school suddenly flashed outside the door, and Tian Fan, Yuan Lian, Li Ren, Wang Xiu and others couldn't help but look at him.

After the little colonel saw Tian Fan, who was sitting on the main seat, he clasped his fists and saluted, took out a mud-sealed wooden cylinder from the bag he was carrying behind him, and respectfully handed it to Tian Fan.

Tian Fan bowed slightly, took the wooden tube, and after checking that the mud seal was intact, he looked at the little colonel with a smile and said, "This brother, you have worked hard, hehe, go down and rest!" ”

The little colonel saluted again and said, "General Tian, the villain can't rest, and he has to rush back." The lord said that the situation is urgent, so let you reply immediately after reading it! ”

Tian Fan's eyes froze, and the hand that was about to open the wooden tube paused slightly. He nodded and said, "Okay, you sit down and wait for a while!" Shia, find some food for this brother! ”

The little school saluted with his fists, thanked him, and sat down at a place near the door.

Tian Fan dismantled the wooden tube, took out a roll of bamboo slips inside, and after watching it carefully for a while, his heart suddenly jumped.

There were four pieces of information in the letter, all of which were found by night spies located in Cao Cao's territory.

First, in mid-September, Li Dao Guo Yan was killed by Duan Xuan.

Second, Cao Cao sent Shang Shufu to shoot Zhong Xuan to Chang'an, and appointed him as the lieutenant of Si Li, the purpose of which is unknown.

Third, Cao Cao took the general Xiahoudun as the main commander, Xu Huang and Le Jin as the deputy generals, gathered 20,000 troops, and the army has set off, see where it is going to be the division!

Fourth, Cao Cao is located in Yuzhou's Tuntian land has changed, and now it is moving from tun to tun one by one, looking at the direction, it is also the Sili area. By the time the spies noticed that the message had been sent, it was estimated that tens of thousands of people had been relocated, but there was still no intention of stopping.

At the beginning of the year, Cao Cao sent his servants to shoot Pei Mao to supervise the Guanzhong group of heroes, and united with Ma Teng, Han Sui, Duan Xuan and other warlords in Guanzhong. According to this matter, it should be Pei Mao who moved Duan Xuan and others, and they jointly killed Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Zhong Miao went to Chang'an, and concurrently served as the lieutenant of Sili, which should be to persuade Ma Teng and other Guanzhong heroes to attach themselves to Cao Cao.

But the third one, Tian Fan is a little puzzled! Since Zhong Xuan was sent to Chang'an, why did he send Xiahou Xuan? And with an army of 20,000? Could it be that Lao Cao wants to have a big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, and he can't come to martial arts? However, he is too anxious, right? There's no news from Zhong Xuan here, so I'll send Xiahoudun there?

Fourth, based on Tian Fan's speculation, Cao Cao should be preparing to emigrate to enrich the population of Luoyang. Luoyang is a good place, but it's a pity that after Dong Zhuo's scourge, the population is too small now, and there is no value of rule at all!

Thinking about it, Tian Fan wrote his analysis into a letter, sealed it with cement again, and returned it to the little school that he had been waiting for. In any case, Cao Cao's movements at this stage have no impact on Xuzhou's established strategy, and it is not worth spending too much energy on it, as long as Zang Ba pays a little attention to Cao Jun's things. For the time being, it is true to destroy Yuan Shu!
