Text Chapter 261 Straw Picks Up Arrows
Seeing that Zhang He must fight, Lu Bu was naturally not afraid, holding Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, and sandwiching the red rabbit horse between his legs, he also rode up.
As the two of them advanced, soon, a halberd and a gun collided in mid-air.
To say that Zhang He's martial arts are indeed not low, and he still belongs to the kind of person who is both wise and brave, and he seems to be a talent like Zhao Yun.
When he followed Cao Cao in history, he also made a lot of military exploits and was a general who was relied on. It's just that Yuan Shao doesn't know how to use people for himself, and now he is facing the first fierce general Lu Bu, and he will fight immediately, and it is even more difficult to be his opponent.
Seeing that after a halberd and a gun hit in mid-air for dozens of rounds, the speed of Zhang He's gun slowed down.
Lu Bu fought against people, not only the halberd technique was exquisite, but the strength was also amazingly great, and it was difficult for ordinary opponents to withstand the heavy blow of a halberd. Zhang Yiyi blocked dozens of times, and he had surpassed most people, which made Lu Bu, who was constantly out of the halberd, also sigh, this person is also a hero.
Forty rounds later, Zhang Heji saw the disadvantage, and under the heavy blow, he felt that the hand holding the gun was also very heavy, and at this time, another heavy halberd was smashed, making his Jiuqu gun unable to bear, and a mouthful of blood in his throat could not be suppressed.
Blood spurted from his mouth, which was already a sign of being seriously injured, but Zhang He still did not retreat, in order to be safe at home in the city, and to prove that he did not betray Yuan Shao, he roared angrily, and rushed to the horse in this time.
Seeing that Zhang Heji was seriously injured and hit his horse, Lu Bu hung the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand towards the horse, and stretched his hands forward empty.
Lu Bu had no weapon, Zhang He had a chance to shoot him at this time, but at this time he did hesitate, he knew that the other party did not want to kill him, otherwise he only needed a halberd, and he was afraid that he would give his life under three moves.
People don't kill him, he does kill people, this is not the husband's doing, and during this hesitation, Lu Buji came to the front, and then saw that he grabbed the Jiuqu gun, and with a force, the gun was held in his hand, and even Zhang He, who was holding the gun, was thrown out.
Zhang He was seriously injured and fell to the ground, and immediately a vanguard cavalry stepped forward to tie him up. The other Yuan Shao soldiers, seeing that the Lord was about to be captured, were in turmoil. At this time, Hou Cheng, who had already gone downstairs, gave an order, and the vanguard army came out, and 10,000 soldiers suddenly became meat fish on the chopping board and were slaughtered.
Zhang He was tied up, and the 10,000 soldiers he brought with him, in addition to fleeing back to 3,000, 2,000 were killed, and 5,000 were captured.
At this time, Xu You hurriedly said that Zhang He must have intended to surrender, so he borrowed the donkey to go downhill, not only was he captured, but also made 10,000 soldiers suffer from black hands.
Yuan Shao, who was furious, asked Zhang He's family members in the city to kill all of them to relieve his anger. At the same time, he ordered people to go to Hanoi to ask for troops, where there were also 100,000 of his soldiers and horses.
...... ......
Hanoi.
Zhao Rui replaced Zhang He as the main general here, and after hearing that an enemy army suddenly appeared in Liang Period City, he guessed that he was likely to use himself, so he prepared early. In order to show himself in front of Yuan Shao, he decided to personally lead 50,000 troops to go, leaving half of his troops to be handed over to Fu Shao.
For this reason, as soon as the news arrived, he led his troops to attack. The entire Hanoi military power was given to the Emperor.
In the frustrated mansion, at this time, the frustration was just a look of difficulty, there was not only one person in his study, there were three people standing opposite.
One of them was none other than his son, Fu Hu, who was now a battalion commander with 500 troops in the Bingzhou army. The other is his friend Tian Feng, who has now joined Zhang Chao's camp, and the other is Guo Jia, the chief strategist of the Bingzhou Group, who is looking at Fu Zhu with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Fu, what the situation is, you must be able to tell, how to choose, you should also have a decision. Of course, if you don't agree to surrender, my army will immediately enter Hanoi, and at that time, you will also be defeated, and with Yuan Benchu's character, how he will treat you, I think you know better than anyone else. It was Guo Jia who spoke, and at this time he was speaking on behalf of Zhang Chao in his frustration.
As soon as Guo Jia said this, he closed his eyes in some pain.
He knew very well in his heart that Guo Jia had appeared here, so presumably the state army was not far away from here, and now that Zhao Rui led the troops away, Hanoi was empty, if it was an attack by the state army, there must not be much power to fight back, once he really lost here, he would return to Yuan Shao, Guo Tu and Xu Yu and others would also fall into the well for him, if so, his life would be in danger.
Fu Zhu is not a person who is afraid of death, but he has ambitions, so it is a pity to die unjustly.
was a little hesitant in Frustration, and his friend Tian Feng and his son Frustration on the side also persuaded each other.
Frustrated with knowing that Yuan Shao had no possibility of becoming a big thing, under the persuasion of his son and friends, he finally made a decision in front of Guo Jia, that is, to surrender, and at the same time he would gather all the generals who left 50,000 troops to persuade them.
Zhao Rui had just arrived in Yecheng with an army of 50,000, and the news came from behind him that he had surrendered and that all 50,000 people had been merged into the state army.
Hearing this, Zhao Rui was surprised. Of course, Yuan Shao was even more nervous and angry.
After hearing that Hanoi had surrendered and annexed the state, Yuan Shao was furious and equally afraid, he was worried that Yecheng would also be captured, so he hurriedly asked Guo Tu and Xu You and others for advice. So, soon there was a military order, that is, Wen Chou was urgently summoned to bring a large army back to help, he was going to kill LΓΌ Bu in Liang Period City, and then go to Hanoi to recover the lost territory.
...... ......
Wu County.
It's been seven days since he was attacked.
For the first five days, I have been defending with bows and arrows, and the effect is still good. But five days later, when the prepared bows and arrows ran out, a fierce siege began, and the casualty figures on both sides began to soar under the battle.
In just two days, the 60,000-strong Second Army Corps lost more than 20,000 people, and of course, the Wenchou Army also paid the price of more than 30,000 people.
After seven days of attack, there were only 190,000 people left of the 260,000 army, and Wen Chou naturally did not like this result. Fortunately, today's siege was almost into the city, which made him have a glimmer of hope in his heart.
And at this time, Yuan Shao's flying pigeon spread that it was in danger, and asked him to bring troops back to help. A little later than that, Feng Ji's letter for help came from the direction of Hejian County, saying that Zhao Yun, the general under the seat of the general, suddenly attacked with 50,000 dragon and tiger troops, and asked for timely reinforcements to retreat.
After receiving two distress letters in a row, Wen Chou was in a dilemma, and he sent people to ask the other generals in front of the city gate at dusk to ask them to come and discuss. And at night, there are dark shadows under the gates of the four cities in Wuxian County.
This was discovered by Yuan Shaojun, who was on patrol, and immediately fired a salvo of bows and arrows, and before he knew what the other party's intentions were, it was the best way to break it with a bow and arrow.
In front of the four gates, there were dark shadows laid down on the towers, and they were all shot with bows and arrows. As soon as the news came back to Wen Chou's tent, which was discussing a major matter, several generals stood up nervously at the same time. Half an hour later, they learned that no one had broken out of the city, and they were all relieved.
"Look, Zhang Chao can't hold it and wants to break through, that's it, I think it's better for me to wait for a day to attack, what do you say?"
Facing Wen Chou's inquiry, Yan Liang and the others all nodded in agreement, that is, Zhang Chao had a late-night breakthrough move, and he really couldn't hold it out. Maybe give them a day to attack the city. In this way, all other crises will be solved.
When the meeting was over, the crowd was so bewildered by the move that they were going to flee across the city tonight that they decided to abandon the pleas for help elsewhere and try their hand at it tomorrow.
In the middle of the Wuxian County Office, Pang ran in with an excited face and was catching up with Zhang Chao who was standing in front of the sand table.
Zhang Chao saw Pang Tong's excited face, and said with a smile: "It seems that the results are good!" β
"Yes, we made ten thousand scarecrows according to the method that the lord said, and lowered them with ropes from under the four gates, and it was only half an hour, and they were all covered with bows and arrows, and when we came back, we probably counted them, and there were 300,000 bows and arrows, which was enough for us to last for a few days." When Pang Tong said these words, he still looked at Zhang Chao with admiration.
For the scarecrow mentioned earlier, Pang Tong quickly guessed what to do. It's just that the straw man is good, Zhang Chao really didn't mention this matter, until tonight, he said that he wanted to take it out, and now it seems that the timing is very accurate, so that the bow and arrow are enough, and it will be easy to defend the city.
"Well, it's going to last a few days. In this way, let everyone have a good rest, and send all the soldiers to the castle tower tomorrow, and the enemy will surely attack fiercely because of tonight's actions, and we will give them a good dismount, so that they can taste the might. Zhang Chao also said with a smile, it is conceivable that tonight's actions will definitely stimulate the other party, and tomorrow will be another big battle.
That night, 300,000 bows and arrows were distributed to every soldier defending the city, and the next morning, sure enough, people in dense light green uniforms began to attack the city from all sides.
Zhang Chao's army, which had been prepared for a long time, was to take a bow and arrow, and killed and injured a lot of people within a hundred steps before the enemy army arrived at the city gate, and then the other party set up a ladder on the city wall, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others will be brave to take the lead, with a hundred, killing countless enemies.
Finally, when it was nearly dusk, Wen Chou saw that the momentum of the besieging army was dissipated, so Ming Jin withdrew his troops and the army retreated.
As soon as the army retreated, Yan Liang and other generals came to Wen Chou's tent to discuss the next thing.
There is a saying that if you rebel, you won't succeed in three years. It's that they're too literate. But with only a group of generals, it is also difficult to negotiate any good schemes. Although Zhang Chao appeared on the tower of Wuxian County several times, it was like a tempting delicacy that could only be seen but not eaten, which made people sigh.
