Build high walls and accumulate grain. These two sentences were obviously applied to practice by Zhang Chao. With such a tall city wall and a wide moat, it is equivalent to several more insurances for guarding Jinyang City. This is also the reason why Zhang Chao dared to gather the main force to go to Yanmen County to find trouble with the Huns.

After getting Zhang Yan's order, he took 40,000 Montenegrin troops to the east gate of Jinyang City, stopped at a distance of three miles, and set up camp.

I had heard that Jinyang City had been strengthened by Zhang Chao's arrival, and I had also heard that a moat had been built. But everything is just what people say, and there is no too specific imprint. When he actually came to the front of him, he looked at it from a distance, and he knew everything about this rumor, and only then did he know that the original city wall could be so tall.

Riding a horse, he came to a distance of three hundred meters from the front of the moat, and saw the moat eight meters wide in front of the city gate, and his eyes were crinkled together.

Such a wide moat has become a natural barrier, and if you want to rush through it, you will have to pay a lot of price. Seeing the city defenders standing on the city wall from a distance, he knew that this battle was not as easy as he imagined.

The army was encamped, and Zhang Yan behind him also rushed here with an army of 40,000, and when he saw that the former army did not attack immediately, but began to set up camp, he immediately stepped forward, and asked why he did not attack immediately with the high morale, but waited.

It's just that when Zhang Yanzhen's cavalry came to the position where he was standing, he was silent after seeing the moat that was eight meters wide and the tall city wall of Jinyang City, which was more than ten meters high behind him.

Knowing that Zhang Chao's subordinates have a lot of intelligence, for his own safety, Zhang Yan has not come to Jinyang City for a long time, which makes him ignorant of the construction of the city wall here. Now that he really saw the most real scene, he didn't know what to say at this moment.

"Forget it, settle down the military camp first, and then arrange for someone to build a wooden ladder, and attack the city in three days." After Zhang Yan patted the solid shoulder, he slowly turned back.

When the Montenegrin army came to the city, it did not attack immediately, but arranged for people to start camping and preparing the wooden ladder for the siege. Under the city wall, Jia Xu and Lu Su saw everything in their eyes, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

It's all in their calculations. Facing such a high wall, such a wide moat. Even if they want to lead an army and want to attack, they also need to be fully prepared.

"There are still three days to go, so let the people of the city speed up the process of making arrows." Jia Xu glanced at the Black Mountain Army, which was being stationed in an orderly manner, and said to Lu Su on the side.

"Okay, I'll go down and make arrangements, it's just that they want to stop and prepare, we can't do what they want." Although Lu Su agreed, he did look at Jia Xu expectantly.

"Zijing, rest assured, I have my own arrangements." Jia Xu also smiled. Even if the enemy is coming, how can he, as the master, not make arrangements? The so-called coming and not being rude.

That night, Zhang Yan and Zheng Gu in front of the East City Gate settled the army and began to look for wood to make longer wooden ladders. In front of the South City Gate on the other side, Yu Poison and Bai Huan were also preparing, and they were also looking for wood to do the same thing.

Originally, the two who were in high spirits and wanted to avenge the revenge of Chaoge came to the south gate with an army of 50,000, but they were indeed dumbfounded. With such a wide river and such a high wall, it is impossible to climb it without a ladder of sufficient length.

The original ambition was taken aside, and both of them returned to the camp with an unhappy face and drank alcohol.

The ladder has its own subordinates to make it. The two generals drank their own wine. In their opinion, although they can't attack immediately, Jinyang City is already a turtle in an urn, although they can't get in now, but the other party can't get out.

On the first night, it passed peacefully. It seemed to be unusually quiet inside and outside the city, and everyone seemed to be preparing for a big battle.

On the second night, the Montenegrin army, who had been busy all day, found a lot of wood, but to find an eight-meter-long ladder, it was still impossible, so they could only reluctantly tie up a few pieces of wood with ropes and strive for their own use.

During the day on the third day, more wooden ladders were connected. In the evening, it is ready. Yu Poison and Bai Huan, who had been depressed for three days, carefully inspected these ladders, although the number was not very large, but fortunately, they were still strong, as long as they could rush into the city gate, they would have the hope of capturing Jinyang City with the strength of the people. At that time, they will surely loot the city for three days to avenge their depression for these three days.

The things were almost ready, and it was decided that the city would be attacked after breakfast tomorrow, so Yu Poison and Bai Huan arranged for the soldiers to go to bed early, striving to maintain a more vigorous mental state. And the two generals themselves also rested and slept in the camp early.

In their sleep, both of them seemed to dream of capturing Jinyang City, seizing the treasure and killing Zhang Chao's family.

In the dream, the women in Zhang Chaozhou's mansion were all looted by them, just waiting for them to enjoy it, and both of them had smiles on their faces that only men can only show in their unique periods...

"Kill!" Just as the dream was about to go deeper, suddenly there was a shout of killing in my ears.

The sound of the sound stimulated Yu Poison and Bai Huan's expression was nervous, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he got up and sat down.

"What happened?" Yu Poison, who was the first to react, yelled loudly outside the tent.

Soon, a personal soldier ran in, knelt on the ground and said, "General, it's not good, someone has come to rob the camp." ”

"Raid the camp!" Yu Poison's expression was first tight, and then he said with joy: "Haha, okay." Robbery camp is good. Even if someone robbed the camp, it should be Zhang Chao's department in Jinyang City, that is, if they rushed out, they would definitely find a way to go back. So at once give me three thousand soldiers and horses, and I will take advantage of the situation to rush into the city. ”

To say that Yu Poison did not think that someone would rob the camp during the day. It was only after careful consideration that such an idea was abandoned.

Now the soldiers in Jinyang City are besieged troops. There are not many troops, so I'm afraid it's not enough to defend the city? Where did you get the courage to rob the camp? Of course, if they did that, it wouldn't be a bad thing, maybe he could follow the path they had come from and go back into the city, so he wouldn't need those ladders to enter the city.

It was with this idea that Yu Yu did not arrange too many troops to patrol the night. Now when I suddenly heard that someone had robbed the camp, I was immediately overjoyed, and I said loudly to the soldiers who entered the tent.

The soldiers agreed, and went to prepare, and Yu Poison quickly put on his armor, picked up the big knife, and walked out of the tent.

At this moment, the army of Yu Poison and Bai Huan has long been in chaos because someone robbed the camp.

After three days of tiring work and cutting down an unknown number of trees, every soldier felt very tired, so they went to sleep in their tents very early. Suddenly, someone robbed the camp, and this completely unexpected situation caught them by surprise. Next, there was the noisy sound of people shouting and roaring.

To be honest, there are not many people who rob the camp, but they are the thousands of light cavalry of the Zhang family army led by Zhang Liao.

Since being reused by Zhang Chao, Zhang Liao himself has not built an inch, and he thought that this time he could bring himself with him in the northern expedition to Yanmen County, and it would be useful at that time. But I never thought that I still didn't bring myself, but let myself stay in Jinyang City.

There was some grievance in his heart, he was mentioned several times by his eldest brother Zhang Fan, and Zhang Liao, who has always wanted to make contributions, has been holding a breath. Finally, this afternoon, the military advisor Jia Xu found himself, arranged the stealing camp this time, and also handed over thousands of elite Zhangjia light cavalry to himself.

Zhang Liao, who was very excited for a while, began to practice the plan of a sneak attack at night with the ten company commanders of the Zhang Jiajun light cavalry who had been summoned in the afternoon.

It wasn't until all the plans were pushed back and turned backwards three times that Zhang Liao was relieved, and this was the robbery tonight.

According to the plan, the two centurians were responsible for burning the warehouse where the Black Mountain Army stored the ladder; Three squads were responsible for setting fires everywhere, burning the Montenegrin military camp and causing chaos. And Zhang Chao himself began the bloody killing with a team of five hundreds.

In the previous three days, the members of Tianyan who had entered the Black Mountain Army had already drawn out the distribution of forces in this camp, so that Zhang Liao could accurately find the main camp of the Black Mountain Army, and at this time he aimed at the camp of the White Ring Army.

After hearing the chaotic sound outside, Bai Huan also hurriedly walked out of the barracks wearing armor. He wanted to gather troops and horses to deal a heavy blow to the campers, and he imagined that there would not be many people on the other side, and if he could organize a certain number of troops, he might be able to wipe out all these enemies.

Different from Yu Poison's counteroffensive idea, Bai Huan wanted to take down the people who robbed the camp, but he had just come out of the military tent, and he saw the menacing general Zhang Liao who rushed towards him on a war horse with two teams of 100 people.

Bai Huan didn't know Zhang Liao, but Zhang Liao confirmed that he knew him.

After staying in Bingzhou for all these years, Zhang Liao knew a little about some high-level figures in the Montenegrin Army. It's just that because he follows the little-known Ding Qi, he is well known. Now seeing Bai Huan appear in front of him, how could he miss such an opportunity for meritorious service, and immediately after a loud shout, he whipped his horse and rode the Yi Qun horse sent by Zhang Chao and went straight up.

Bai Huan had just gotten on the war horse brought by his own soldiers, took the big knife, and saw a black shadow galloping towards him in the darkness.

"What people!" Out of instinct, Bai Huan asked loudly.

But the man did not answer, but continued to go on until he was more than a foot away, and he was holding a halberd and stabbing it.

When he got closer, Bai Huan could also see that the person who came was black-clothed and black-armored, and under the moon, his face was like purple jade, and his eyes were like stars.
