Chapter 222 Preparation

Wuhuan had an army of 30,000, while Zhang Yu and the others had only 10,000, plus a dilapidated city.

After two days of preparation, several deep trenches have been built outside the city.

With these trenches, Zhang Yu and the others will not be attacked by the Wuhuan people, and they will even face a strong impact just after the battle.

The city wall of Xiangping City is not high, if the Wuhuan people make a strong attack, it will be difficult to defend at that time.

And with the trenches several battles wide outside the city, the Wuhuan people had to fill up the trenches first.

Zhang Yu checked the city wall. Although it has been reinforced, it is still difficult to deal with Wuhuan's strong impact.

"Feng Xiao, what can you do?" Zhang Yu asked Guo Jia for advice.

Guo Jia said with a wry smile: "The time is too short, we didn't have time to prepare. For the present plan, we can only delay the Wuhuan people's offensive pace as much as possible. We can show the enemy's weakness first, disperse their forces, and finally find a way to annihilate some of them." .”

"Well, that's the only way to do it now." Zhang Yu was a little disappointed, Guo Jia didn't have anything to do.

After three days, Zhao Yun brought back some of them.

"Zilong, how is the situation?" Zhang Yu asked.

"General Zhang, please destroy all these beasts." Zhao Yun knelt on one knee and said with red eyes.

"Zilong, please hurry up, what happened." Zhang Yu also realized that something big must have happened, otherwise a tough man like Zhao Yun would not be like this.

Zhao Yun stood up, calmed down and said, "The Wuhuan people went south, looting villages and towns along the way, and killing people in the wild. I don't know how many villages were reduced to ashes under their butcher's knives."

Zhao Yun didn't talk much, but Zhang Yu could imagine what kind of human tragedy this was.

The Wuhuan people are fond of looting, and they went south along the road, and even ransacked along the way.

None of the villages on their way must have been spared.

And along the way also through a county.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun first sent someone to notify the county seat, and most of the people in the county seat escaped, but there were still some who were unwilling to escape and died under the butcher's knives of the Wuhuan people.

"Damn it." Zhang Yu slapped the table and cursed loudly: "People of Wuhuan, now that I'm here, I will absolutely not allow you to continue slaughtering my compatriots."

Zhang Yu said again: "I will definitely let you pay with blood."

Zhang Yu was really angry, wars belong to wars, massacres of cities, massacres of ordinary people are nothing.

After cursing, Zhang Yu also gradually calmed down. At this time, they must be beaten back first, otherwise there will be no talk of revenge.

"Zilong, according to your estimation, when will the Wuhuan people arrive?"

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "Their vanguard has about 5,000 people, and they are expected to arrive in two days."

Zhao Yun continued: "I also arranged for some of them to watch them, and more information will be sent back at night."

Zhang Yu nodded and called several of his subordinates over.

After hearing Zhao Yun's words, several people hated the Wuhuan people to the bone, and wanted to destroy them and avenge the dead people.

"We must avenge this grudge, but now that Wuhuan's army is heading south, we have to deal with it first." Zhang Yu said.

Guo Jia first said: "My lord, the enemy is outnumbered, and the enemy is all cavalry capable of fighting. If you want to repel them, you must concentrate all your strength. Through investigations in the past few days, I found that there is a big family in Liaodong. The strength is strong, and we should let them contribute as well."

Zhang Yu was surprised that there are still big families in Liaodong.

"Bongxiao, please tell me." Zhang Yu said.

"The largest family in Liaodong is the Gongsun family. Their strength is very strong. Compared with some big families in the Central Plains, the Gongsun family has at least 3,000 troops. If they can support us, it will be even more important to defeat Wuhuan. Be sure." Guo Jia said.

Zhang Yu also remembered at this time that there are two grandson families in Youzhou.

One is the aristocratic family that Gongsun Zan belongs to. Naturally, it doesn't need much strength. It can defeat Liu Yu and become the biggest force in Youzhou.

The other Gongsun family is the family of Gongsun Du in Liaodong.

in history,

Gongsundu has controlled Liaodong for decades. Because of its remote location and strength, he has always separated one side and became a prince of one side.

Because Gongsun Du has never participated in the struggle for the world, he has been separatist in Liaodong, so his reputation is not so great.

"Okay, I will personally visit the family of the grandson tonight, do you have any suggestions?" Zhang Yu asked again.

Huang Zhong hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, the enemy is strong, can we eat their five thousand pioneers, if we can eat them, our pressure will also be reduced."

Zhang Yu thought for a while and said: "You can try it. Now the enemy is strong and we are weak. If they join forces, we have no chance at all."

Five thousand cavalry, actually put a lot of pressure on Zhang Yu and the others.

Just try no matter how difficult it is.

Several people are trying to find a way, and then discuss it.

Guo Jia first said: "My lord, with the strength of our army and ambushes, it is not difficult to kill five thousand Wuhuan cavalry. What is difficult is that their vanguard is only tens of miles away from the main army, and the cavalry can arrive in two hours. , we're going to annihilate them and escape before it's too late."

Zhang Yu clasped his hands, stood up and said, "No matter how difficult it is, I have to do it."

"It's evil, I order you to lead two thousand troops to intercept the Wuhuan army, block them along the way, slow them down along the way, and hide in the mountains directly after fighting." Zhang Yu ordered.

Two thousand troops, going to stop the enemy's more than 20,000 people, the situation can be imagined, and there must not be many who can come back in the end.

"Zilong, I ordered you to lead two thousand people to attract the enemy's forwards to pursue. Make sure to let them pursue and keep away from their army. Then, you hide, go around behind them, and intercept and kill their scouts. Attack from the rear."

"Yes, Yun takes the lead."

The task Zhang Yu gave Zhao Yun was also very dangerous, but Zhao Yun also agreed without hesitation.

Zhang Yu went on to say: "Han Sheng ambushed them with me."

This time Zhang Yu's whole army attacked, only in this way can he win the battle as much as possible.

Everyone began to split up.

And Zhang Yu took Guo Jia directly to Gongsun Du's house.

Gongsun's family is a famous family in Liaodong, and the mansion is very large.

"The next new prefect, Zhang Yu, is looking for the patriarch Gongsun, please inform me." Zhang Yu said directly before arriving at Gongsun's house.

The gatekeeper went in quickly and then came out again.

"Patriarch welcomes you." Zhang Yu asked someone to take him in.

At this time, the head of the Gongsun family was not Gongsundu, but Gongsundu's father.

"Patriarch Gongsun, the situation is urgent, and I won't talk nonsense with you. This time I came here to seek help from the Gongsun family. If there is any loss to the Gongsun family, I will bear it after the war. I will definitely not let the Gongsun family suffer any losses." .” Zhang Yu said bluntly.

The head of the Gongsun family is named Gongsun Shu, an old man in his early fifties.

"Lord prefect, the former prefect has run away, do you have the confidence to defend?" Gongsun Shu asked.
