"Well, last night, they don't know how many bows and arrows they got their hands on, and it's hard to continue the siege. It would be better to fence them up first, and not believe that they can last long without food supplies and water sources. In this way, General Yan, I want to trouble you to lead the army to guard here, supplemented by General Gao Gan. As for General Gao Ran, I went to support Yecheng and Hejian separately. Wen Chou finally admitted that Wu County was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and had no choice but to issue such an order.

It is said that a Wu county is not a military powerhouse, and there is no high enough city wall, even if Zhang Chao stepped up the repair after he came, it was also difficult to support under the strong attack. And the reason why we have been able to persist until now depends on morale.

Zhang Chao is here alone, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is easy to say that he has thousands of troops on top. As long as the soldiers can see Zhang Chao, it is equivalent to seeing hope, so that no number of enemies can fight bravely to kill the enemy. Coupled with the bravery of Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others, it is not too much to guard for ten days and a half months.

After Wen Chou could not attack the city for eight consecutive days, he brought the army back to help. In yesterday's battle, Yuan Shao's army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and Zhang Chao also lost 5,000 soldiers. In this way, after Wen Chou returned to Yecheng with an army of 80,000 and Gao Ran returned with an army of 40,000 to aid Hejian, only the 40,000 people led by Yan Liang and the 40,000 people led by Gao Gan remained, a total of 80,000 people aimed at Zhang Chao's 35,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry of Zhang's army in Wuxian City.

Zhang Chao defended the city for eight days, killed more than 60,000 people of Wenchou's army at the cost of 25,000 people, and defended Wuxian County with a small victory, which well completed the mobilization of the enemy's troops and horses, and won time for other changes in the battle situation.

...... ......

River-gun.

It is also called the country between the rivers. After Yan Liang went to besiege Zhang Chao in Wu County with an army of 50,000, Feng Ji stayed here to take charge of everything.

For the situation in Wu County, Feng Ji is very concerned, and at the same time he is also paying attention to the nearby Youzhou Department, he knows that there is a Wenchen named Jia Xu there, and it is said that this person is scheming, and he is the best at sneak attacks.

But there will always be flaws in the defense, when Zhao Yun suddenly appeared in front of him with 50,000 dragon and tiger troops traveling four hundred miles a day, it really startled Feng Ji, and when he began to deploy troops, Hejian had already been occupied. In desperation, he had to personally lead 20,000 horses to meet the attack, hoping to inflict heavy damage on the distant division, and at the same time arrange for someone to send a message to General Wenchou to ask for reinforcements.

Before Hejian Lecheng City, Feng Ji's 20,000 horses and Zhao Yun's 50,000 troops finally collided together, and a heavy battle followed.

Originally, I thought that after running so far, the cavalry of these Youzhou Army should be weak. But after a contact, Feng Jifang knew that he was wrong, these are basically the division of tigers and wolves, after meeting, one by one, the guns and knives are fast, and he doesn't blink an eye when he kills people, although he has done a lot of propaganda work on the soldiers, but in the face of the facts, he was quickly defeated. After the battle in one morning and two hours, only 5,000 of the 20,000 horses followed him back to Lecheng.

As soon as he entered the city, Feng Ji hurriedly arranged for people to defend the city wall, and then began to prepare for the fire oil and bows and arrows used by the enemy to prevent the enemy from attacking the city.

Zhao Yun killed 5,000 enemy troops under the city and captured 10,000 enemies, then took the initiative to retreat.

In this battle, all the soldiers were so vigorous, most of them were because the lord was surrounded, and the soldiers and saviors were heartbroken. It is said that cavalry has a natural advantage over infantry, and Zhao Yun is bound to win this battle. In contrast, he will not be able to do siege warfare.

Using cavalry to attack the city is not a wise move, and the other party is prepared, so Zhao Yuncai will not joke with the lives of the soldiers. is saying that the task given to him by Jia Xu is to shock the river and lead Yuan Shao to divide the troops by himself, since the goal has been achieved, he can ignore it.

Gu Fengji waited for a long time in Lecheng and did not see Zhao Yun lead troops to attack, and finally when Gao Ran entered the city with an army of 40,000, he never saw Zhao Yun's shadow again.

Although he couldn't see the figure of the Dragon and Tiger Army, Feng Ji believed that as long as Gao Ran left with his troops again, the other party would still appear. For this reason, Yuan Shaojun, who had more than 50,000 troops, was contained here.

Back to the situation in Yecheng. Frustrated and surrendered, Hanoi changed hands, not only made Yuan Shao lose his territory, but more importantly, Yecheng was also completely exposed to the iron hooves of the Bingzhou army.

With no troops in his hands, Yuan Shao had to order the transfer of Wen Chou. Wen Chou launched an operation one day after receiving the order, and led 80,000 troops to the city of Liang two days later.

Running all the way, it would have taken three days normally, but Wen Chou arrived in two days. It was precisely because of the early arrival that his soldiers were very tired, and at this time, Lu Bu suddenly came out with the vanguard cavalry, which gave him a blow to the head.

To say that Wen Chou is also brave, knowing that the other party is prepared, he still rushed forward with his own soldiers and fought with the first fierce general Lu Bu.

Wen Chou's force value is also ranked very high in the entire Three Kingdoms period, this time he met Lu Bu, it can be said that he met an opponent in chess, and the two fought together without saying a word after they met.

Wen Chou was very brave, the Savior was earnest, and with the advantage of the number of soldiers under him, he fought with the vanguard army.

The army led by Wen Chou can be said to be the elite of Hebei sergeants, and it is also Yuan Shao's family background, and they once went to Youzhou to fight Liu Yu together.

With these elites, the two armies fought together.

There were still 20,000 cavalry in the city of Liang period, but this time Lu Bu only brought 30,000 for himself. I thought that these people were enough, but I never thought that the Hebei Army would be so fierce, and the war was in a stalemate for a while.

Under the First Battle, from morning to evening, Lü Bu won the victory after injuring Wen Chou's arm with a halberd, and finally forced Yuan Shao's army back, causing it to throw down 30,000 corpses, but the cavalry of the vanguard army was also killed and wounded nearly 10,000 horsemen.

This is still the most tragic battle fought by Lu Bu after leading the army into Jizhou, and seeing this result, he has to admit that Hebei is still a land of heroes and warriors.

After Wen Chou killed 30,000 soldiers in the battle, he suffered a big loss, so he bypassed the Liang period that night, and continued to recruit soldiers in the counties he passed through, and soon replenished 10,000 middle-aged soldiers, and finally entered Yecheng three days later.

As soon as Wen Chou appeared in Yecheng with 60,000 soldiers, Yuan Shao was overjoyed and personally went out of the city to greet him, but he could see that he was indeed a general with a white cloth wrapped around his arm.

"General Wen, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that the general was injured, Yuan Shao was very surprised, he knew the strength of this general very well, and he had tens of thousands of troops, and he could injure him, which was very human.

Asked by Yuan Shao, Wen Chou also said with a guilty face: "Lu Bu is worthy of being the number one fierce general in the world, and the vanguard army is also worthy of being the elite iron cavalry under Zhang Chao. ”

As soon as he heard that he had encountered the vanguard cavalry led by Lu Bu, Yuan Shao was shocked again, and then said: "It's okay, this is not General Wen's fault, it's really the other party's iron hooves are too sharp." ”

Originally, Yuan Shao meant to wait for Wen Chou to arrive, and then take the army in the city to attack Liang Period, besiege Lu Bu, and then go to Wu County after defeating this person, so that Zhang Chao could be captured alive to relieve the whole siege, but now it seems that what he thinks is still too simple, and even the elite brought by Wen Chou has made up for the heavy damage, how easy is it to recover the situation?

The reinforcements entered the city, but Yuan Shao's idea of wanting to fight back was indeed forced to go bankrupt, so he called Guo Tu and Xu You and other strategists to discuss what to do next? Faced with the problem of the lord, Xu You suggested: "Lord, the combat power of the state army is far stronger than we imagined, and now it will only be a defeat for both sides if it is fought hard, and let others take advantage, so it is better to talk about reconciliation first." ”

"Yes, my lord, so does the picture. The gentleman is not brave for a while, this time it is completely Zhang Chao in the sneak attack, we are not prepared for this is the current chaos, that is, we have lost the first hand, it is better to stop first, and when we are ready, we are fighting, at that time, in addition to the influence of the lord in Hebei over the years, just raise your arms and shout, there will be many counties and counties to respond, at that time we re-recruit, can be expected to fight again. Guo Tu also spoke on the side.

The reason why the two of them say this is mostly for themselves. Seeing the strength of the Bingzhou army, they were already afraid, and they really didn't dare to have much hope for the outcome of the battle between Yuan Shao and Zhang Chao, especially worried that Yuan Shao would break with Zhang Chao in anger. Their families and possessions can be more here, even so, it is better to stop the war first, as long as the fighting stops, everyone will be safe.

The two advisors both said this, and Yuan Shao asked with a hint of puzzlement when he heard this, "In this way, how can Zhang Chao agree?" ”

If peace can be negotiated, it will be good. This is also what Yuan Shao expected, this time he lost one-third of Jizhou, and lost Hanoi, and lost his troops, which can be described as a great break in his heart. The most important thing to do now is to stop fighting and recuperate, and the so-called gentleman's revenge is not too late for ten years.

But the question is whether Zhang Chao can agree to come down and give him time to prepare.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was already thinking about this issue, Guo Tu and Xu You looked at each other quietly, and said at the same time: "Lord, presumably Zhang Zhiyuan's battle is also extremely dangerous, we have been hit hard, and he is not much better, he should agree." As I said, now Jizhou is wholeheartedly devoted to the lord, even if others occupy it, it will take a long time to calm down, even if it is so, it is not Zhang Chao's wish. ”
