Chapter 262: Zhao Yun's New Tactics
Yuan Shu's panicked deployment of defense, in the eyes of Yan Xiang and the others, this was pure nonsense.
However, they did not dissuade them at this time, and after following Yuan Shu for so many years, they all understood Yuan Shu's temperament.
Everyone couldn't commit it for the sake of Yuan Shu, and completely buried their future.
Some people secretly decided in their hearts whether to take refuge in Zhao Yang or not.
They can see clearly that Yuan Shu is a gentleman, and there is nothing worthy of praise except for having a good background.
Yuan Shu didn't know that what he had done in the past made the ministers under his command begin to deviate from him in their hearts.
As the Flying Dragon Guard advanced in parallel, Yuan Shu's territory continued to shrink.
In fact, if you stick to the city and don't go out of the city to fight, there will not be much loss at all.
It's just that these guards, like Yuan Shu, are all of the same temperament, and their martial arts are mediocre, and they were provoked out of the city by Zhao Yun and Gao Ran.
Since Zhao Yun divided his troops from Guanyang, he attacked the city all the way, and the cavalry was used by him as infantry, and he took thirteen cities in three days.
This makes other forces feel incredible.
Zhao Yun was not proud and proud of these achievements, he understood that such a record could not be replicated.
Replaced by other princes, Zhao Yun thought that it would be good to take four cities in three days.
"Newspaper... General, the city of Bedhill in front of him was wide open, and all the officials in the city knelt at the gate of the city, as if waiting for surrender. ”
Zhao Yun was still pondering, and he rode in front of him, bringing the news that made everyone laugh.
They had never fought such a battle, and the defenders of the cities they encountered along the way either ran or surrendered, not so much fighting as sightseeing.
Zhao Yun was not carried away by these victories, he was always vigilant, and at the same time, he often ordered the generals, but he should not take it lightly.
As one of the few remaining princes today, even if Yuan Shu is incompetent, it is impossible for none of his subordinates to dare to fight.
Although a lot of achievements have been made at this stage, Shouchun, as Yuan Shu's lair, the defense of the surrounding cities is definitely not comparable to these border towns.
Zhao Yun gave the order to the army, regardless of those incompetents, directly bypassed the sleeping hill and rushed towards Xiang County.
This time he changed his strategy, retreating when he encountered a strong enemy, and pinching a soft persimmon wildly.
As long as Yuan Shu's territory is chaotic, it can be regarded as achieving the ultimate goal.
Zhao Yun didn't know at the moment that this change of direction allowed him to avoid the pocket set by Yuan Jun and indirectly sabotage Yuan Jun's plan to encircle and suppress him.
After three days of stop-and-go, Zhao Yun led the army to Xiang County.
Zhang Yi, the commander of Xiang County, looked at the Feilongwei under the city, although he was nervous, he did not open the city and surrender.
He ordered his soldiers to guard all parts of the city wall, and told everyone that the other side was cavalry, and without the cooperation of the infantry, the city could not be captured.
It's a pity that he doesn't know that Zhao Yun wants to break Xiang County, so it's really not a difficult thing.
Zhao Yun looked at the defenders who were waiting for the battle, and he was quite appreciative of the guards standing downstairs at the city gate.
He didn't know what this person's ability was, but this courage was the first time he had encountered it since Guan Yang divided his troops.
Zhao Yun ordered the whole army to retreat eighty miles, light a fire to cook and rest.
He took the escort team and walked around the city, and the defenders didn't know what they were doing, and they all stared at Zhao Yun nervously.
After a circle, more than an hour passed, and Zhao Yun also figured out the terrain around Xiang County.
He returned to the camp, convened the generals, and told him what he was thinking.
Although the generals did not directly oppose it, Zhao Yun could still feel their doubts.
He pointed to the map, and the northwest of Xiang County told the generals that the city wall in this place was old, which was the result of a long period of no repair.
These rammed earth walls are no longer as strong as they were at the beginning, and as long as the bolts are inserted into the gaps, they can form a ladder to climb the city.
Zhao Yun also pointed out that this location is not on the main city wall section, and the concealment effect is excellent.
"General, the last general, please lead the team to the city!"
As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, Zhao Xuan on the left directly asked for battle, and Zhao Yun was very relieved to see this.
Zhuang Yong of Zhaojiazhuang at the beginning, as long as he is alive now, has been reborn, and this person in front of him is like this.
Looking at Zhao Xuan's expression, Zhao Yun still asked Feng An to go with him.
It's not that you don't trust his abilities. It's just that this battle is not trivial, and Zhao Yun wants to verify this way of attacking the city.
If it succeeds, it will be a new tactic to start with.
Zhao Yun quickly assigned the task, and all the generals performed their duties, waiting for the battle at night.
Little by little, the day passed into the night, and the stars filled the entire sky.
In the Feilongwei camp, the soldiers were busy, and the Huotou army pushed the dinner to the camp tent, and the tempting fragrance made everyone's speed increase a lot.
Xiang County's guard Zhang touched the battlements, looking at the little fires in the distance, not knowing what the other party was doing.
He looked at it for a while, always feeling a little uneasy, and he carefully checked along the city wall, and found nothing wrong, before leaving the city wall.
Zhao Yun stood on the high platform and looked at the soldiers who had finished preparing below.
He didn't say anything grandiose, but he said that he hoped that they would be able to open the gates of the city and welcome the army into the city.
Zhao Xuan and Feng An hugged their fists and saluted, and did not say anything else, directly led the team, went out from the Nanzhai Gate, and made a detour to the northwest.
Zhao Yun watched them disappear in front of him, led the remaining soldiers, and immediately set off for Xiang County.
Looking at the fire dragon coming from afar, the junior colonel on night duty in the city immediately sent someone to inform Zhang Touch, and at the same time prepared for defense.
Zhao Yun stopped outside the range of his bow and arrows, watched for a while, and found that the defenders were already in full battle.
He didn't give any orders, so he was stunned here, which made Zhang Yi, who came over, almost overly nervous.
"Hey, the leader below, you're here to attack the city! I'm just here with a pestle, am I scared? Haha..."
Zhang Touch faced Zhao Yun and shouted arrogantly.
In fact, he can't help it, if he stays like this, he is afraid that he will be too nervous, resulting in a lack of qi and blood.
Zhang Jian saw that no one answered below, so he laughed even more, and laughed bits and pieces in his mouth.
This angered the generals around Zhao Yun, and I saw a young general bending his bow and arrows, and facing Zhang Touch is an arrow.
However, there was a lot of wind in Xiangxian at night, and the feather arrows that flew out deviated from the track and flew past by wiping their ears.
Zhang touched his aching ears, so frightened that he immediately squatted under the battlements, not daring to provoke in the slightest.
Zhao Yun looked at his performance, and his attitude towards him in his heart directly decreased by more than half.
This guy looks very tough during the day, but I didn't expect it to be all pretended.
Zhao Yun smiled bitterly and was speechless, praying that this guy must not be frightened by his own side, otherwise his attempt plan may be ruined.
