Now that two months have passed since that time, it is conceivable that Xinfeng City must have been ready to wait for them to go? At this moment, it is undoubtedly more difficult to use any strategy to attack the city, and only a hard attack may be possible to break the city.

Fortunately, both the generals and soldiers of the Fourth Army Corps are bent on making meritorious contributions at this moment, and although the siege of the city will be difficult, it is indeed not impossible.

"No." After hearing the words of the military advisor, the corps commander Zhang He and the deputy corps commander Gao Gan on the side, they all hugged their fists, and immediately turned around and went out of the tent to prepare.

Eat dinner now and rest. After the third watch, you can rush to the front of Xinfeng City at the fifth watch, and then you can rush to the city with all your strength by taking advantage of the strong morale of the army.

After the battle mission was issued, Gao Gan began to discuss with the corps commander Zhang He, who wanted to take the lead.

"Legion Commander, please give me such a chance. For the sake of us all having served for the sake of the Ji Hou. Gao Gan said with a sincere face, this battle is of great significance to him.

Zhang He is also a general who later joined Zhang Chao's side, and he is very clear about what Gao Gan thinks now. He understands that a defeated player needs a victory to wash away his shame.

"Okay, General Gao, I'll give you such a chance, but I want to make it clear in advance, once the siege is blocked, you can't force it, you may agree." Zhang He said earnestly.

"Yes, yes." Gao Gan nodded hurriedly. What he wants is to win the task of attacking the city in the first battle, as long as he can be satisfied with this, the rest is naturally no problem.

Seeing that Gao Gan agreed, Zhang He immediately said: "Okay, then I will allow you to have an army of 50,000 as the vanguard, and you can set off first as soon as you arrive at the third watch." ”

After Gao Gan received the military leader, he was overjoyed. After returning and sleeping for a while, he gathered his generals together at the second watch, and then announced the military order, and began to arrange combat missions. Even before he arrived at Xinfeng City, he made a decision on which division would attack first.

Naturally, the division commanders who drew lots to attack first were all excited, and those who were not very lucky, and those who drew the back attack showed unwillingness on their faces. It's just that this is what they have chosen, and even if they don't want to, they can only do so.

As soon as the third watch arrived, the vanguard of the 50,000 and 4th Army Corps set off and fell, and then galloped all the way in the direction of Xinfeng.

Just about half an hour after Gao Gan and the others left, Zhang Heye and the military advisor Fu Zhu went in the direction of Xinfeng City with the remaining 100,000 troops and grain and grass baggage.

The army had already been mobilized before the war, and the marching speed was very fast, but it was only half an hour late, and Zhang He and Fu Zhu came to Xinfeng City.

It's just that when I arrived here at the beginning of the year, I saw a scene that was indeed unexpected, that is, the entire Xinfeng City wall had been planted with a banner and the battle flag of the four legions.

"What's going on?" After seeing that Xinfeng City was captured so quickly, Zhang He, or frustrated, all had expressions of disbelief.

"Haha, military division, corps commander, fortunately, Xinfeng City has been captured." A loud laugh came, and Gao Gan, who was riding on a horse, rushed over with an excited watch.

Seeing Gao Gan appear in front of him, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General Gao, what the hell is going on." ”

"Hey." Gao Gan's face at this time was indeed a little bitter and said: "Don't hide it from the military division, I rushed to Xinfeng City with an army of 50,000 in less than five watches, and then lined up the troops, and then set up a ladder to attack the city, I originally thought that there would be a vicious battle, but I never thought that there were only less than 500 Dong Zhuo soldiers above the city gate, we were just a wave of siege, and those people couldn't stand it, and they knelt on the ground and begged to surrender." Saying this, he also had an unwilling look on his face.

Obviously, although Xinfeng City was captured, it came too easily, which made Gao Gan feel dissatisfied.

"Only five hundred soldiers defended the city." Hearing Gao Gan say this, he frowned slightly, and this move really made him a little incomprehensible. And in order to know enough about the truth, he immediately asked out loud: "Can General Gao bring the surrendered army?" ”

"Someone, take the surrender army." Gao Gan had long known that the military advisor would definitely ask this question, so he had been prepared for this for a long time, and with a wave of his hand, a soldier in a navy blue suit was soon brought up.

Looking at his attire, he seemed to be a small leader, and he asked in a loud voice, "What is your position?" ”

"Back to the adult, the villain is a Qu Chang, and he was ordered to be stationed in Xinfeng City." When this person raised his head to answer, he immediately showed a blue expression, it seems that he should have been "special care" before this, otherwise how could he be injured.

"Well, are there any other soldiers in the city?" I believe that at this time, the other party will not say any lies. After all, that's blocking with your life.

"No, just my five hundred." Qu Chang bowed his head and replied very obediently.

"What about the rest of Dong Zhuo's army?" He asked the question that several people wanted to ask.

"They left two days ago." The chief was also happy, and he didn't hesitate to answer the question, obviously he decided to cooperate well for the sake of survival.

"Left, where did you go?" Hearing this, he also asked with a serious expression.

"I heard that it was heading towards the Yin City and joined Liu Bei's army." When he talked about this matter, the Qu Chang still had a yearning look on his face, obviously he also thought that if he could follow the army there, he should not be captured like now.

Knowing the general situation, he waved his hand, obviously not preparing to ask anything. First, the words of this music chief cannot be fully believed, and secondly, this person's status is low, even if he knows, it will not be the core content.

"Strategist, what are we going to do next? Will you storm the city again? Zhang He, the legion commander on the side, asked in an inquiring tone.

"No need. The army came, and the momentum was extremely strong, but this time we came out of the first battle, that is, we returned without attacking, and now it is not suitable to attack the yin. After saying that, the Sixth Legion is behind us, and it must be coming soon, so I think it's better to wait for them to talk. This time he shook his head.

When he left Jinyang City before, he discussed with Li Ru, the military advisor of the Sixth Legion. The decision they made was to attack Xinfeng City first, give Dong Zhuojun a heavy blow, and then use this as a basis to discuss the next move.

But now, Xinfeng City has been captured like this, although it has not experienced any difficulties, but it has achieved the early goal. In the future, it is necessary to discuss it with the Sixth Legion. You must know that if what Qu Chang said is true, I am afraid that there are enough enemies of 300,000 in the Yin City, and it is obviously irrational to storm a city with 300,000 people with the strength of a legion.

Frustrated that he would wait for the first class Sixth Legion, although Zhang He and Gao Gan were a little unwilling, they could only agree, in Zhang Chao's regulations, the rules in the legion have always been that the military division is the greatest, and they dare not disobey this.

In this way, the 150,000 people of the Fourth Legion stayed in Xinfeng City, and while waiting for the arrival of the Sixth Legion behind him, Zhang He also sent a lot of scouts to Yin City to inquire about the news.

Three days later, Xinfeng City welcomed 150,000 men from the Sixth Legion.

The commanders of the two armies and corps met very smoothly in the city. As soon as everyone met in the temporary mansion, Li Ru, the military commander of the Sixth Army Corps, arched his hands and said with admiration, "Brother Fu, congratulations, you have taken Xinfeng City so quickly." ”

"Hey." Regarding Li Ru's congratulatory words, he shook his head with a look of embarrassment, "Brother Wenyou, Xinfeng City was given to us by Dong Zhuo on his own initiative." ”

"Oh, why is that?" As soon as Li Ru heard this, a puzzle flashed in his expression. On the way when he came, he heard that Xinfeng City was occupied, and he was also a little unconvinced, no matter how bad Dong Zhuo's army was, there were also 100,000 troops here, how could it be captured so quickly. When I hear it now, it really has something else.

Fu Zhu didn't intend to hide it, so he told the story that there were only five hundred Dong Zhuo defenders in Xinfeng City.

"What? So, Liu and Dong are all in Yin City? Hearing this, Li Ru's complexion also became bad.

He had carefully analysed the situation before. Judging from the comparison of the strength of the two sides, both are 300,000 people, which is quite quite. But in fact, the advantage is still on their side. Not to mention anything else, it is impossible for the coalition forces to be truly united in the end, and in contrast, the Fourth Army Corps and the Sixth Army Corps may cooperate closely.

It was precisely because of this that Li Ru agreed with what Fu Zhu said about attacking Xinfeng City. The original intention was to hit Dong Zhuojun hard, and then leave Liu Bei alone, in that case, the advantage would be completely obvious.

It's just that I didn't think that things would still change, Dong Zhuojun retreated without a fight and joined Liu Bei's army, so that the two sides were still 300,000 people, and one was defending the city and the other was attacking the city, so the difficulty naturally increased a lot.

The two military advisors who knew the situation were much more solemn, and the two army commanders Zhang He and Xu Rong on the side silently retreated to the side when they saw this. It's not that they don't think of a way, but it's really something that they are good at, even if someone is tired, why bother?

The two military advisors stood in front of the map like this, holding their chins and thinking, and one plan and idea after another flashed in their minds, but then they were denied again and again.

After a full two quarters of an hour passed like this, Li Ru moved his arm, and then pointed to the small city of Gaolu in the northwest.
