Chapter 1003 Taking the Initiative to Set Fire to the Mountain

Zhang Yu settled the matter of Mount Tai, and then he was studying the matter in the direction of Xuzhou.

One hundred thousand troops were besieged, this is a big deal, how could Zhang Yu not care.

Zhang Yu's army is not so easy to train.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Yu wrote back to Gao Shun: "Trust them, they can block Cao Jun's attack, as long as we last more than ten days, we can take the initiative."

As a general, you can't be soft-hearted.

Zhang Yu had already planned to suffer a relatively large loss. The army had to go through the experience of blood and fire, and there was no one who would not die in a war.

Gao Shun has been preparing, mobilizing the surrounding militias to defend the city, and then adjusting the number of surrounding defenders.

He is preparing, if necessary, he can lead troops out of the city to rescue them.

Gao Shun collects intelligence from all parties at the same time, and Zhang Yu adjusts the intelligence system so that information from Yanzhou and Yuzhou will also be sent to Gao Shun.

The situation became very complicated, it was chaos.

There is a war in the west, and two battlefields in the east.

Zhang Yu stayed in Taishan County for three days and handed over the work of this stall to his subordinates, while he went to Lu State.

When Zhang Yu had just set off, Ling Cao began to attack, heading towards Lu Guojun.

Ling Cao finally attacked, and Cao Jun's hanging heart sank. At this moment, what they had to face was Zhang Yu who had been killed from the other side.

Zhang Yu led an army of more than 100,000 troops to the south quickly, and would attack their rear.

The situation is critical.

Cao Angna has not made any progress for a long time, and if this continues, the situation will be very unfavorable to them.

When Cao Ang and the others received the news that Zhang Yan had returned to Shun Zhang Yu, they knew something was wrong.

Jia Xu said: "My lord, we can only attack by force, or give up. If we continue to entangle here, the situation will only become more unfavorable."

"Fight, it must be fought. I will immediately send someone to notify the father and make him ready." Cao Ang said.

If Zhang Yu didn't come to rescue the army besieged by them,

In this way, they have no choice but to attack by force.

With the cooperation of several generals, Cao Ang divided into several groups and wanted to attack fiercely.

"kill."

The mighty army advances up the hillside.

There are young generals leading in several directions.

"That's it, don't even think about attacking up, order the soldiers and horses at the front to retreat slowly, wait for them to come up, and give them a violent blow."

The army at the foot of the mountain fought and retreated, supported by not-so-violent arrows from above.

Cao Ang and Jia Xu watched from a distance.

"They are not even willing to use arrows. They want to stick to it for a long time. I'm afraid this battle will be difficult." Cao Ang said.

Zhang Yu's army gives the impression that it has strong firepower. If there is support, their soldiers never hesitate to shoot arrows.

But now they are surrounded, their arrows are limited, and their attacks are not so violent.

The progress of several soldiers and horses was relatively smooth, which relieved Cao Ang a lot.

But Jia Xu said: "My lord, my subordinates suggest withdrawing some soldiers and horses, and the follow-up support should not follow up quickly. There is obviously something wrong with this intense attack."

Their soldiers rushed tens of meters, but the opponent's resistance was not very violent.

Jia Xu is also relatively familiar with Zhang Yu's army, it is a fight to the death without retreating, and it will not give up until it is exhausted.

But now they voluntarily gave up some positions, not because of conspiracy.

Cao Ang didn't think much, and sent someone to deliver the order.

Orders take time.

At this time, their army has killed more than ten meters.

Sudden

Many people rushed out on the gentle slope of the mountain.

"Kill, destroy them."

"Get out."

An army came out abruptly, charging from top to bottom.

Being attacked suddenly, he rushed down from top to bottom.

Cao Jun couldn't resist immediately.

"Let the arrows go."

A large number of archers from above also appeared. They stood on the gentle slope and shot arrows down. The attacking position was the rear of Cao Jun.

Many Cao soldiers couldn't resist and ran down the mountain, only to be shot down by the rain of arrows.

The archers took control of an area below the mountain, which was an area of ​​death.

"Don't run, hold on."

"Can't run, kill it."

Many Cao Jun understood that this run was to leave the enemy behind and die faster.

But there is no way, rushing down from above, the impact is too strong.

The powerful impact makes them irresistible.

Cao Ang clenched his hands, he understood that the loss this time was not small.

The army that went up was beaten down again.

They backed off.

After a count, more than 4,000 people were killed and injured, and a wave of attacks was disintegrated.

Cao Jun took a rest and planned to continue the attack.

But at this time, a big fire broke out on the hillside, just over a hundred meters above the mountain.

The fire was naturally set by Zhang Yu's army.

They have cleared the isolation zone and burned these trees, on the one hand to prevent Cao Jun from killing them and lighting them up.

Instead of keeping them on fire, it is better to burn them all when you can control them.

Burning also cleared the shooting range, making it easier for the archers to attack, especially when they prepared a large number of logs on the mountain. These logs and stones were their reliance. With these things, it would be difficult for them to rush up.

Cao Ang's face was dark, this day's time was wasted, and they didn't even think about attacking this day.

The fire on the mountain is useless to attack. They can only watch the show at the foot of the mountain.

The fires were not extinguished until evening.

In this way, one day is wasted.

The next day, another fire broke out on the upper circle of the mountain, which was also set by the army above.

They've got a fire barrier, and they're watching again.

Helpless, another day wasted like this. Although the fire was extinguished in the afternoon, that area should still be very hot, and it was impossible to go up.

Cao Ang was in a very bad mood down there.

Two days were wasted, they don't have so much time to waste, and now they are just rushing for time.

On the third day, the fire was finally stopped from above.

But they started logging, and some big trees were burned bare, leaving only thick trunks.

They were cutting down these big trees, as if ignoring Cao Jun at the foot of the mountain.

Cao Ang wanted to attack, but at this moment he didn't know where to start.

"Sir, they have dug a lot of places to hide soldiers on the mountain, if they attack rashly, they may suffer a lot of losses." Cao Ang said.

Cao Ang still had a fresh memory of the sudden rush of soldiers and horses from the gentle slope before. At this time, he didn't know how many traps were hidden on the mountain.

It is very unfavorable for them to delay one day at a time.

"My lord, we can only move forward slowly and compete with them little by little. If we do this, we will lose a lot," Jia Xu said.

Cao Ang and the others had no choice but to fight recklessly, so they mobilized a large number of shields.

Call all the shields of the army, and arrange more archers at the same time.

Cao Jun's relatively scattered formation slowly went up the mountain.

"That's it, within ten days, don't even think about attacking." Several teenagers judged after evaluating.

The young generals were not afraid at all at this time, and they also judged the current situation after analyzing it.
