"Yuan Benchu is a good calculation, if you don't let me feel better, I can't let you live in peace." Lin Sen said: "Come on, send someone to order Gan Ning to give up Le'an Kingdom, turn around and go straight to Donglai County, tell him how to fight the battle is up to him, there is only one, if Yuan Shao sends an army to Donglai County, he only needs to drag this army in Donglai County when he is free to advance and retreat." ”

Lin Sen changed his strategy again, the soldiers and horses suspended the attack, and stuck to Jinan, he was going to go to Bingzhou, defeat Li Dao and Guo Yan, and then come back to compete with Yuan Shao.

The army was all left in Jinan, and all the generals also stayed here, he only took away his own soldiers, Dian Wei and Pan Feng also accompanied him, there were Yulin Shenwei and Thunder Daoist, no matter how strong the Xiliang army was, he would definitely defeat them.

For Lin Sen, the unfavorable news came one after another, Lin Sen just came out of Qingzhou, he received the news of the Xiliang Army's additional troops, and the remnants of the Baibo Yellow Turban Army in the original state Yang Feng and Han Xian led the troops and horses to respond to Li Dao and Guo Yan, and the combined army attacked Jiguan.

Lin Sen has not yet left Anping County, another news came, the Xiliang army added troops again, and the Sili Guild, which had been attacked by him, united together, and sent millions of troops to help Li Dao and Guo Yan attack and merge the state, and brought countless siege equipment, and the materials were abundant, so that there were more than two million before and after, and Jiguan was lost in less than half a month.

It is not because Chen Zhi is not effective in defending the city, it is really because the Kei Pass is not as tall and strong as the Tiger Prison and Hangu Pass, it is only a medium and low-level pass, and the enemy does not hesitate to wear and tear the siege equipment, and fills it in vigorously, and the city pass has been seriously damaged, and he is helpless. Chen Zhi and Shi Tao could only lead the army to return to the party, and then discuss strategies to block the enemy.

In fact, the Sili Players Guild has a grudge against Li Dao and Guo Yan. But the reason why they help in the war is very simple, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. They also heard that Bingzhou had developed very well in the past two years, and the grain output had also increased accordingly, and they could also get a sum of food after taking it, which was beautiful.

Under the city of the eldest son of Shangdang County, Zhang Ji, the general of the Xiliang Army, and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew have led 100,000 vanguard iron cavalry to besiege for two days. Therefore, it is not difficult to defend the city when Chen arrives for a while.

A few days later, Zhang Liao and Xu Shu led the main army of 100,000 to support the eldest son city, and Huangfu Song also led the troops to arrive, and then the army went out to battle, and the vanguard army of Zhang Ji was defeated outside the city, and Zhang Ji retreated to Hedong County to round with Li Dao and Guo Yan's army. Zhang Liao led his army into the city to discuss with Huangfu Song and others how to resist the Xiliang army.

"Although the vanguard of the Xiliang Army has been defeated, the basic situation of the enemy's strength and weakness has not changed, the Xiliang Army has more than 2 million, and we only have 500,000. What should you do? Huangfu Song, as the general of the state, said first.

Everyone pondered for a moment, and Xu Shu said, "Although the Xiliang Army is coming with great momentum. However, its army is huge, and the daily consumption of grain and grass is an astronomical amount, and the wars in Sili and Yongzhou have been continuous in recent years, and most of the fields are barren. Therefore, they must lack food and grass, and now it is summer, and the sweet potatoes planted in the fields have also matured. Together with the people, we can harvest the grain immediately, and move all the supplies and people to the rear. If we can't hold this city, we can break through to the rear city and continue to hold on. In this way, for two months at most, the Xiliang army will definitely run out of food, and when the army's morale is disrupted, when the time comes, we will raise the whole army to fight a decisive battle with it, and we will definitely win. ”

Huangfu Song felt that what Xu Shu said was very reasonable, and asked everyone: "What do you think of Yuanzhi's plan?" ”

Zhang Liao, Chen Zhi and Shi Tao also nodded in agreement. Huangfu Song said: "Then according to Yuan Zhi's plan, he immediately began to collect the grain in the field." Then the people were mobilized, and the men and soldiers went to the fields to collect grain, while the women and children gathered their possessions at home and prepared to move.

The city of the eldest son has a main force of nearly 300,000, and there are tens of thousands of garrisons in the surrounding cities, plus the common people, the speed of collecting grain is very fast, and all the grain in the field is harvested in one day.

Then the people began to migrate, and they all knew that the Xiliang Army was tyrannical, and who wanted to die in the hands of the Xiliang Army, so the process of migration was also very easy, and the people had no objections.

Zhang Liao led the army to camp in the area of Yangtou Mountain, Chen Zhi led the headquarters of 200,000 troops to guard the county, guarding the eldest son county from the flank, and Huangfu Song continued to stay in the city of the eldest son, although the Xiliang army could drive straight into Shangdang County directly, but in this way, Zhang Liao and Chen Zhi could both cut off their support and besiege the Xiliang army from the flank.

Zhang Ji's defeat in the first battle made Li Dao and Guo Yan very angry, and they unconsciously accelerated their march and rushed to Shangdang County at great speed. Jia Xu has been silent since the beginning of the war, Li Dao and Guo Yan asked him several times, and he shook his head and said that there was nothing he could do.

The Xiliang army quickly attacked the county seat, without a moment's delay, and then began to attack the city, and the forces of the Sili Guild provided siege equipment, and they didn't take Zhang Liao and Chen Zhi seriously at all. Xu Shu's fortified wall and clear field strategy Xiliang army didn't know, because their grain and grass were really insufficient, and they still wanted to quickly capture the city in order to seize the supplies, grain and grass inside.

Huangfu Song has 300,000 soldiers and horses, the preparation time is long, and the city has sufficient reserves, especially 200 catapults and ballistas, but what Huangfu Song didn't expect is that the enemy's catapults and ballistas under the city are not much worse than those on his own side, the difference is that the grade of wood used in manufacturing is only ordinary, but the number is very large, as if it cannot be consumed.

Zhang Liao and Chen Zhi are still holding their troops, and they have to wait for the battle situation to reach a state of anxiety and suddenly attack the Xiliang army, so as to achieve the best effect.

It has been emphasized several times, the siege war is a war of attrition, the competition is not a strategy, not the number of soldiers, but the solidity of the city, the elite degree of the soldiers, the most important thing is the heavy grain and grass, although the Huangfu Song Department is less than one-fifth of the Xiliang Army, but relying on the eldest son of a large city to defend it with ease, the Xiliang Army Headquarters soldiers and horses are mostly iron horses. It is not possible to participate directly in the battle, and can only sweep in the rear army. The imperial guards Zhang Liao and Chen Zhi were the two divisions, and it was Yang Feng and Han Xian's Baibo army that actually participated in the siege. There are also those soldiers and horses from the Sili Guild.

After seven days like this, Huangfu Song felt some pressure, the enemy army under the city was a little afraid of death, in the past few days, more than 100,000 floating corpses under the city, according to his previous combat experience, the enemy died so early and retreated, but now the offensive has not decreased at all, which he did not expect.

Equally. The pressure on Li Dao and Guo Yan is also great, Lin Sen deliberately announced on the way that he was coming to Merge with an army of 500,000 people, Jizhou After years of development, the people are attached, and even the players are very supportive of Lin Sen, so Lin Sen said so, those players also said so, and everyone knows about this matter, and the Sili players heard about it and told Li Dao and Guo Yan about it.

In fact, as long as you are a person with a bright mind, you will know that it is true and false. However, the Sili Guild did not send high-level cadres, but a group of middle- and low-level members led ordinary soldiers and horses to help, but there were more siege equipment, and Jia Xu, who was the great strategist, guessed some. But he kept silent, and it was useless for anyone to ask, which caused Lin Sen to really send a large army to merge the state. Make the fake come true.

Li Guo and the others couldn't help but get anxious, and it was only at this time that they remembered the scene when the princes were discussing Dong. Scene after scene appeared in their minds, tens of thousands of troops were stubbornly guarding Hangu Pass. The two of them and that Lu Fengxian have led a million army and have not taken it, and now there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses here, and Lin Sen personally led an army of 500,000 to come, if they can't attack the eldest son and plunder the heavy grain and grass, then when Lin Sen comes, they will definitely be defeated, and even it is even more difficult to withdraw from the division safely.

For today's plan, they can only storm the city, it is impossible to attack the rear, Zhang Liao and Chen Zhi are located on both sides, set up in the mountains, and Xu Shu has arranged the formation before and after, completely blocking their way, it is to fight, it is to retreat, two options are placed in front of them.

Of course, Si Li's guild forces want to continue the war, otherwise their siege equipment and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses have not been lost in vain, and they have not gained any benefits. The warlords Yang Feng and Han Xian were also in the same mood, originally they were in the prosperous and rich land of Taiyuan, and their lives were comfortable, but they were forcibly driven out by Lin Sen, the army suffered heavy losses and was displaced, they hated Lin Sen so much, and always wanted to defeat Lin Sen and recapture Taiyuan.

"Two generals, although Lin Sen led a large army to come, but according to the schedule, he still needs a few days to arrive, if we go all out to capture the eldest son, eat the army of Huangfu Song, and then go straight to the Taihang main road, set up a heavy defense, Lin Sen can't help it even if he wants to, isn't this a clever plan?"

Yang Feng stood up and said: "This brother is right, no matter how many garrisons there are, there are only a few hundred thousand, how can we take a small eldest son city with more than two million permanent soldiers, so tomorrow I will send my own soldiers and horses to participate in the siege of the city, and ask for the order to personally come forward to supervise the army, and hope that the general will be favorable." ”

Everyone expressed their invitation to fight, and Li Guo and the others, who had already retreated, were instantly aroused by everyone's passion, how could they be cowardly as heroes.

"Okay, all the generals are loyal and courageous, and they are very arrogant, and they are very admirable, tomorrow, they will attack the city with all their troops, and they will take their eldest son within three days, and then go straight to the Taihang Road."

"The Last General Commands ......"

I have to say that Lin Sen's stroke of genius played a decisive role, and the Xiliang army was afraid of confronting him head-on, so he turned the whole army into a decisive battle, so that he happened to fall into the strategy set by Huangfu Song and several people, and Zhang Liao and Chen had the opportunity to send troops.

After listening to the results of their discussion, Jia Xu couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, already knowing in his heart where he should go.

"Mr. Xu, you are here, look, this is the military report that the sentinel has just sent back, Li Dao and Guo Yan have attacked the eldest son city with their whole army."

Zhang Liao and Chen Zhi received this military intelligence report almost at the same time, and the two of them each found Xu Shu and Shi Tao to discuss the details of the battle.

"Great, the lord is really wise, a clever plan forced the Xiliang army to mess up, which is really admirable."

"Since I threw myself into the lord's account, fought in the south and the north, under the master's divine strategy, every battle has been very easy, and it is really a great blessing in life to be able to serve the lord."

"Hahaha." Xu Shu said with a smile: "I also feel it below, our Jizhou army and people are united, tightly united under the main account, and we have long been invincible, so why not be afraid of the Xiliang thieves." ”

Zhang Liao said: "This is inevitable, now that the Xiliang army has shown its defeat, tomorrow I will lead the army to the rear of the Xiliang army." I believe that Uncle Zhi will also fight tomorrow. ”

Zhang Liao and Chen Zhi at the other end took out a large amount of wine and meat in the warehouse, killed cattle and set up wine, and rewarded the three armies. Then they each led 100,000 main troops of Jizhou and rushed to the Xiliang army to kill.

Zhang Liao is a famous general in the world, and his 100,000 troops are all divisions of a hundred battles, and he is well-equipped with Zhang Liao's southern and northern wars. Zhang Liao was dressed in purple armor, holding a dark blue crescent halberd, taking the lead, killing the rear army of the Xiliang Army from the right side, charging in the enemy camp, killing one hundred and ten people, killing several generals of the Xiliang Army, and shouting in the Xiliang Army: "I am Zhang Liao, the general of Jizhou, who dares to fight with me!" His soldiers were all inspired by it, and a killing wind blew in the Xiliang army......
