Chapter 1002: 100,000 Troops Trapped

The army from Xuzhou to attack Xuchang was originally a feint attack army.

Although it was a feint attack, they were well prepared, bringing a large number of siege equipment and logistics.

This is to make Xuchang dare not ignore it.

But they actually mobilized the surrounding army and forcibly surrounded the army.

One hundred thousand people were besieged on the mountain.

Leading the army are a few young generals, because it is expected that there will not be too strong a battle, so young generals are arranged to lead.

Although he is a teenager, he has fought many battles.

Cao Jun built layers of defense under the mountain, trying to trap them in the mountain.

Several young generals led their troops to attack separately. After fighting for a day, both sides suffered heavy losses and failed to break out.

At night, several teenagers were having a meeting.

"Cao Junzhong, they won't be able to fight for a while. They made it clear that they want to trap us to death on this mountain." A young general said.

"They used 200,000 troops and a large number of archers to surround this area to death. It is really difficult to rush out."

"What I'm most afraid of is that there is not much water on the mountain, or if the conditions are ripe, they will set fire."

"We must plan for a long-term battle. Even if the rescue is not timely, if we stick to it here, we can make Cao Jun fall into a passive position."

They pretended to attack Xuchang in order to contain the enemy's soldiers and horses. Now they can contain 200,000 soldiers and horses, which is also a victory.

Everyone did some research to make sure.

"I remember the lord taught us that we only need to dig more isolation zones for fire prevention. In addition, we need to dig more wells for water sources. There are springs on them, and there should be a lot of groundwater."

Several of them have studied in colleges of higher learning, and have learned a lot about natural science, which can be used at this time.

They set out to attack the city, and they brought a lot of tools.

To fill the trench, the sack, the shovel is a must.

In order to build siege equipment, they also brought many logging tools.

After discussing overnight, they started to act.

Several trenches were dug on the mountain, and many trees were cut down to form bunkers and rolling logs, and also to prevent the enemy from setting fire.

At the same time, they also dug wells and pools, as if planning to fight for a long time.

The young generals are smart. They judged that if Cao Jun was just besieging them, then it doesn't matter, just spend time with them.

If you want to eliminate them, then you must be prepared.

Cao Ang really wanted to set fire to the mountain, but Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses were defending at the foot of the mountain, so they failed.

The 100,000 troops camped, so naturally they took a lot of protection.

After the young generals figured out the situation, they felt relieved a lot.

As the night passed, the young generals began to split up to act. Several people set up defenses at the foot of the mountain, and a few people arranged things on the mountain.

At this time, they were faced with a more important problem, which was how to report the situation here to Gao Shun.

Let Gao Shun know their situation, then he can arrange things, and he will not be attacked by the enemy.

There is no good solution for the time being, but I believe that Xuzhou will not carry out rescue easily, and will definitely find out the situation.

With the arrival of a new day, the situation at night was unclear, and Cao Ang did not dare to attack rashly.

When it was daytime, they suddenly found that there were many fewer trees on the mountain.

The trees are still declining, because they can see the big trees falling.

"I'm afraid Huo Gong is impossible. They may be my classmates at Jiangdong College, and they know how to set up the isolation zone." After watching for a while, Cao Ang figured out what the army on the mountain was doing.

If you can't attack with fire, you have to attack by force. At this time, Cao Ang and the others can't judge whether the soldiers on the mountain have enough food and grass, or whether there is any water source.

"My lord, let's siege for two days first. If they are in a hurry, they will take the initiative to break out of the siege. If there is no movement for two days, I'm afraid this battle will be difficult." Jia Xu said.

Cao Ang said: "Okay, but we need to send more people to prevent being attacked by the army rescued by Zhang Yu."

Fear of being attacked is a given.

Gao Shun soon found out about the situation, but instead of going to the rescue, he further strengthened the defense of Xiapi City and sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhang Yu.

Even if all of the 100,000 troops were lost, Gao Shun understood that nothing would happen to Xiapi City.

If something happens to Xiapi City, the whole of Xuzhou will be in danger.

Gao Shun sent many people out to investigate the situation.

According to his estimation, the army has brought food and grass for a month, and it will be no problem to stick to it for a month, and then send people out to meet them after they have made arrangements.

Cao Ang besieged them for two days. Within two days, Zhang Yu's army was strengthening the defense for a while, digging a lot of trenches and isolation belts, but there was no sign of breaking out.

Cao Ang was very disappointed. This battle was intended to be a sneak attack, but he didn't expect that the opponent would set up camp on the mountain at night, which made them very difficult.

"My lord, we can only attack by force, but our losses may be huge." Jia Xu said.

Facing Zhang Yu's army who was planning to defend to the death, Jia Xu had no choice.

They attacked Zhang Yu's army along the way because they wanted to break Zhang Yu's offensive and let them have a major loophole in the direction of Xuzhou.

However, if this army cannot be quickly broken through, Zhang Yu can arrange it calmly.

When Zhang Yu received the message, it was already a few days later. At this time, Zhang Yu had already discussed with Zhang Yan and began to attack Cao Jun.

The more than 40,000 Cao Jun was uncomfortable. After they were found, they were surrounded by Zhang Yu with the cooperation of Zhang Yan.

Surrounded in the mountains, Cao's army was not as powerful as Zhang Yu's army, and it turned out that they couldn't even beat the yellow scarves.

After persisting for two days, he was wiped out in the mountains.

Zhang Yu finally took Taishan County completely.

But at this time Zhang Yu was also entangled, and the hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves were not so easy to deal with.

Zhang Yu couldn't leave for a short time.

However, Cao Jun of Lu State in Yuzhou had a hard time, and Taishan County was defeated so quickly unexpectedly.

They estimated that it would take Zhang Yu ten days and a half months, or even a month or two to solve it. If the south had wiped out 100,000 Zhang Yu's troops by that time, they would be able to turn things around.

In the end, Zhang Yu solved it first.

"Zhang Yan, if you want to continue to lead troops, I can give you an army of 50,000. I, Zhang Yu, will treat everyone equally and will not break my promise." After recruiting the Yellow Turban army, Zhang Yu said to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yu gave them two choices, one is to live the life of a rich man, Zhang Yu gave them money, land, and a mansion.

One is to continue to lead troops to fight.

Zhang Yan folded her fists and knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of me. This subordinate is willing to continue to lead the army to fight. With this strength, I'm afraid it's not suitable for him to leave the army."

"Okay, but I can't let you bring the original army. Please forgive me. You will train with your army for two months. After two months, you will reorganize an army for you." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu's army has undergone unified training. An army that has not undergone unified training cannot understand their combat methods at all, and there will be major problems in coordination. Zhang Yu must retrain and reorganize the Yellow Turban.
