Chapter 175 Siege of the city

It's a sense of pride. Just imagine, if everyone has such a feeling, they will be proud of their existence under Zhang Chaozhi's land, at that time, wouldn't the people who defected to themselves be as countless as the carp crossing the river? This is equivalent to having a passport in your hand, and it is written on the passport, but if you provoke me, it is equivalent to provoking the entire Zhang Chao Group, and then it will be a thunderous blow.

And in the process of realizing this idea step by step, now that his own soldiers have been killed and will be killed, isn't this a slap in the face, so where is the pride of being the people of Bingzhou?

Under the anger on Zhang Chao's face, Zhao Yun got up and said, "Lord, Yun Yuan led the cavalry of the Dragon and Tiger Army to pursue the enemy and give him a powerful one." ”

"Liao is also willing to go." Zhang Liao stood up and said.

"Loyalty, too." Huang Zhong got up and said.

Next, even Gao Shun and the injured Tai Shici also stood up.

Seeing that all the generals looked like they wanted to take revenge, Zhang Chao nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Guo Jia on the side and asked, "Where is Hou Luohou now?" ”

"Lord Yu, according to the report from the members of Tianyan, they also appeared in the area of Mayi yesterday, it seems that they should not be able to find the root, and they are ready to go back." Guo Jia replied with a fist.

"Go back, the one who killed me. I hurt my general, I want to go back now, where is there such a cheap thing? Hum! General Huang listened to the order. Zhang Chao heard that the enemy wanted to retreat, and immediately said with an angry face.

"Huang Zhong is here."

"General Huang, now I promise you a new army of 3,000 cavalry, pursue the enemy, and avenge the dead soldiers of the first legion."

"No." Huang Zhong said with a happy face.

Seeing that Zhang Chao called Huang Zhong's name instead of himself, Zhao Yun stood up with a look of anxiety.

"Don't worry, you have other tasks." Zhang Chao raised his hand lightly and arranged for Zhao Yun who stood up.

The military general was silent, and Wenchen Guo Jia and Lu Su got up together again and said: "Lord, now that Yuan Shaozheng is uniting with Kebineng, we will attack them, will we..."

"What will be? We are fighting against the Huns in Fuluo, and we have already offended Yuan Shao. Attacking Hou Luo Hou now is just taking revenge. Saying, do you think Yuan Shao will let us go once you recover Youzhou? Zhang Chao asked with a sneer on his face.

Zhang Chao has never regarded Yuan Shao as a friend, even for Cao Cao, even so, it is not impossible to try the other party's attitude first.

Hearing Zhang Chao say this, the two senior strategists closed their mouths. Jia Xu, who was sitting there, got up at this time and said, "My lord, even if we plan to be an enemy of Yuan Shao in the future, then we should unite the forces that can be united now." ”

"Oh? Who? Zhang Chao asked with a smile on his face.

"Step root. According to the information we have, he has at least 50,000 Xianbei cavalry under his command, and if it can be used by us, it will also be a great help. Jia Xu also said with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, the meaning of Wenhe is very much in my heart. That is the case, you will go with me, Zilong, and Wen Yuan to find this step root. Zhang Chao laughed, he had this intention, but he didn't expect to think of it with Jia Xu, so it seems that the general direction should be good.

Zhang Chao's order, Huang Zhong led the 3,000 cavalry of the first army, which had just been established, from Jinyang City to the direction of Mayi. In order to inflict heavy losses on this enemy army, Zhang Chao also released a message from the Black Eagle to Yanmen County Shoudianwei, asking him to lead his troops to block it.

At the same time, Zhang Chao also decided to take Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Jia Xu to find the place where Budugen was. In the city, Yi Guo Jia and others were left behind, and their task was to redistribute the Montenegrin army captured in this war. Except for some people who were in good health who were left as soldiers, the others were distributed to them to contribute to the construction of the state.

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

On the official road from Mayi County to Pingcheng, a large army with no end in sight was marching here.

This army is the Xianbei cavalry and the infantry of the Black Mountain Army, and it is also the person Zhang Chao intends to target.

Among them, there are more than 4,500 Xianbei cavalry and more than 5,000 infantry of the Montenegrin Army. They are the ones left after the battle with Tai Shici.

In the first battle of the day, Tai Shici used infantry against cavalry and infantry, and still achieved a record of killing 500 enemy cavalry and 5,000 infantry with 1,000 deaths.

It was precisely because of this result that the Xianbei cavalry general Tho Luohou felt the horror of his opponent, so he gave up the idea of looking for Budugen and led the army back to Youzhou.

After Mayi, it is equivalent to leaving Taiyuan County and entering Yanmen County, which also proves that it is not far from home, and Yu Xuan, the general in the army, breathes a sigh of relief.

Yu Poison's relieved appearance was seen by Hou Luohou, and he immediately smiled and said, "General Yu Poison, you can rest assured now." After Pingcheng, you can enter the boundary of Zhongshan County, which belongs to the land of Yuan Gong, and then it is not far from Dai County, which is our homeland, what do you say you have to fear? ”

"Yes, yes, what the general said was, I was too careful." Yu Poison looked ashamed at this time.

Looking at Yu Poison's teachable appearance, Hou Luohou continued: "I told you a long time ago, what a great general, his courage is just like this, I hurt his general, and the people who killed him dare not chase me." My eldest brother is now uniting with Yuan Gong, you must know that Yuan Shao's army is known as 300,000, how can a small state pastor resist. ”

Saying these words, Hou Luohou was proud, as if the 300,000 army was his subordinates.

"Yes, what the general said is right, all right." Yu Poison said without any pride.

The Montenegrin army was completely defeated, even Zhang Yan was captured, and the other generals were also killed and captured. Yu Poison had no idea for a while, originally wanted to flee to the west of Bingzhou to beg for a living, but he didn't want to meet General Tho Luohou, and then Zhang Chao's pursuers arrived, so there was after this battle.

After the first battle, although he seemed to have defeated Zhang Chaojun, Yu Poison was even more panicked in his heart, he didn't know if this general would send someone to pursue him, so he kept persuading Hou Luo Hou to leave quickly.

When Yu Poison talked about some of Zhang Chao's past events, Hou Luohou was also a little scared, after all, the Xianbei cavalry around him was less than 5,000, and in order to prevent being besieged by the Bingzhou army, they went to the base camp. Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, and now it seems that Zhang Chao really plans to let them go, and he is going to suffer a dumb loss.

The army is far away from Mayi, and the closer it is to Pingcheng, it is equivalent to getting closer and closer to Zhongshan County, and there is more smile on the face of Hou Luohou, in his opinion, the so-called great general of the Han Dynasty is nothing more than that.

Yu Poison saw that he was about to leave the boundary of the state, and his heart relaxed a lot, looking at how much he still had five thousand soldiers, and he thought about what kind of position he could get once he arrived in Daijun, or he had the opportunity to defect to Yuan Shao, after all, as far as the princes were concerned, this person was now the most powerful one.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and marched forward with a large army, and by evening, they were less than five miles away from Pingcheng.

"We're going to rest in Pingcheng tonight." When Hou Luohou heard the report from the fast horse scout, he said to Yu Poison.

If it had been before, Yu Poison would definitely have made a suggestion. But now that he was about to go out of the state and go to Zhongshan County, Zhang Chao really didn't even have any movement there, so he was relieved and said, "Everything is under the orders of the general." ”

"Haha good! In this case, the former army immediately entered the city, and if they did not open the gates, they would slaughter the city for me. Hou Luo Hou said confidently.

Along the way, he slept in the open air, and what he did was to prevent him from being surrounded by Zhang Chao's army. Now that you're safe, it's time to enjoy it. Anyway, he hasn't touched a woman in a few days.

Hou Luo Hou made a decision, and the Xianbei cavalry below was naturally excited, they knew what would happen after entering the city, and they looked forward to it one by one, and patted their horses towards Pingcheng.

Pingcheng.

It is the city where Yanmen County and Zhongshan County of Jizhou meet. In the past, under the command of Zhang Quan, he was often harassed by the Xiongnu, so that the population of the city was getting smaller and smaller, and the city walls were also very low. Even though Zhang Quan was killed and the Huns were driven out now, it was not so easy to build a city, so that the city now is no different from the past.

When some of the B-level soldiers of Zhang Chao's group who were guarding the city saw that some Xianbei cavalry were coming, they followed the notice they had received before and abandoned the city. Many of them also withdrew from the city.

In this way, when the Marquis of Tho Luo entered Pingcheng with a large army, all he got was an empty city.

got an empty city, and there were no women for him to play with, and Tho Luohou's face was a little unsightly. I found a spacious place for the county office, slept down, and left here for Zhongshan County as soon as it was dawn.

A good place was chosen by Hou Luohou, and Yu Yu had no choice but to take the remaining soldiers to the humble military camp of the county government to rest here.

After a few days of running, everyone was very tired, and soon fell asleep. And after nightfall, the west gate of the city was secretly opened, and the thirty Montenegrin soldiers who were in charge of guarding it were captured without any reaction because they did not expect anyone to enter the city.

"General Huang, the door is open, and then it's time for us to start killing." A thick man's voice sounded, and I saw him holding a pair of iron halberds, with a look of anticipation.

This person is the Yanmen County Shoudianwei. After he received the Black Eagle message from Zhang Chao, he rushed over with the 4,000 infantry of Yinguan City, and joined the 3,000 cavalry led by Huang Zhong on the road.
