Three Hundred and Thirtieth Chapters: Yan Liang Falls in the Middle
Zhang Yu and the others surrounded Yuanshou County with a fierce beating, completely blinding the defenders on the top of the city.
After fighting for half an hour, Zhang Yu and the others killed more than a thousand defenders in the city, which can be said to be very intense.
If it is so strong, it can definitely be captured in a day and a half.
The main reason is that Zhang Yu and the others have no infantry and no siege equipment. Otherwise, if someone goes to the city, it only takes half a day to capture the city.
The defenders on the city were able to counterattack at first, but later they just shot arrows at the bottom indiscriminately, with limited lethality.
After Zhang Yu and the others attacked vigorously for half an hour, some people retreated, leaving only about 5,000 people to continue to attack the city.
The remaining 5,000 people could not maintain a strong siege, so they attacked after a while.
At this time, Zhang Yu hid with nearly 15,000 troops, ready to ambush.
"My lord, this is not the most ideal place to ambush. There are several places where we come to ambush, which is enough to wipe them all out." Dian Wei asked puzzled.
On the way Zhang Yu and the others came, there were indeed many places that were conducive to an ambush for the army, but Zhang Yu had no choice, but chose to be here.
There are dense forests on both sides here, where people can hide, but the forest is not big, and the terrain is not dangerous, the enemy can break through the encirclement completely.
Zhang Yu said: "This place is just right. According to the calculation of the distance, it will be almost night when the enemy arrives here. In addition, we don't require the enemy to be completely wiped out, as long as they are seriously injured."
It is very difficult to wipe out Di Renjie completely, because Zhang Yu and the others do not have an advantage in strength, and may be entangled by the opponent instead.
But attacking them in a wave and severely injuring the enemy is perfectly fine.
Zhang Yu and the others went deep into the enemy's rear, and the most important thing was to survive. They had to keep a distance from the enemy, so that they could deal with various problems calmly.
Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong listened to Zhang Yu's analysis quietly, nodding their heads from time to time.
"So, we chose to attack the enemy here, and we can retreat calmly. After a wave of attacks, we retreated immediately, so as not to give the enemy a chance to entangle us." Zhang Yu said.
"My lord, it's too cheap for them, why don't you wipe them all out?" Dian Wei was upset when he heard that he couldn't wipe them all out.
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "There are opportunities. Since we have come to Jizhou, we won't leave easily. When there is trouble on our side, if Gongsun Zan can seize the opportunity and hurt Yuan Shao, some Yuan Shao will suffer."
In fact, Yuan Shao is very uncomfortable now, because many aristocratic families came to him, crying and asking Yuan Shao to be the master for them, and some relatively powerful aristocratic families even asked Yuan Shao to compensate for their losses.
Yuan Shao has a big head, but he can't offend these aristocratic families. After all, he didn't treat Jizhou well.
"Zhang Yu must die, must die." Yuan Shao said sullenly as he sent away another group of visiting families.
Guo Tu and Shen Pei accompanied Yuan Shao, Guo Tu said: "Master, with the two generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou leading the army in person, Zhang Yu will definitely be taken down."
The examiner also said: "My lord, Zhang Yu dared to enter without hesitation. He really thought that we had no one in Jizhou. This time we must keep them in Jizhou."
After hearing this, Yuan Shao's face became better, and he continued, "When Gongsun Zan is defeated, I will personally lead the troops to conquer Liaodong."
Yuan Shao's hatred for Zhang Yu had happened several years ago, but this time the battle against Dong made the two of them enemies of life and death.
Yuan Shao wanted to kill Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu and the others had already ambushed and waited for Yan Liang to come.
On the second night, Zhang Yu and the others set up the ambush site and entered a fighting state.
Yan Liang has been chasing with soldiers and horses. He was very happy when he heard that Yuanshou County was attacked.
"Haha, Zhang Yu died early, and he still wants to attack the city at this time, don't let me catch up, let me catch up, none of you can escape."
Yan Liang was very fast, constantly urging the soldiers to speed up.
They gradually distanced themselves from Wen Chou and Gao Lan, but the distance was not very far, only a few dozen miles away, and it would take more than two hours for the cavalry to arrive at full speed.
For more than two hours, Yan Liang was not afraid. Even for half a day, he felt that he could block the attack.
At night, Yan Liang didn't rest and was still on his way.
"Hurry up, Yuanshou County is more than 30 miles ahead, we must wipe out the enemy under the city." Yan Liang shouted excitedly.
"Zhang Yu, the Battle of Luoyang made you stand out. Our brothers were not there at the time. Otherwise, when you show off your prestige, you will be wiped out in Jizhou this time, and our brothers will be fulfilled." Yan Liang became happier as he thought about it. The speed couldn't help but became much faster.
Hearing the sound of horseshoes, Zhang Yu also became excited, and he had already given the order to prepare to attack.
"Here we come." Zhang Yu clenched the Overlord Halberd and roared, "Attack."
With an order, the arrows flew like locusts and rushed towards the approaching Yan Liang army.
"No, there's an ambush." Yan Liang was startled, but he wasn't afraid or flustered.
"Hurry up, form an formation and counterattack." Yan Liang ordered again.
Soon, three waves of arrows fell on Yan Liang's army, killing and injuring thousands of people at once.
The arrows continued, and after two rounds of arrows were shot, Zhang Yu let out a roar.
"Kill, attack the army formation."
Zhang Yu directly led his men to rush out and headed straight for the enemy's army formation.
Yan Liang didn't expect that there was an ambush here. He was careful everywhere before, but the enemy didn't set up an ambush along the way. For this reason, Yan Liang despised the enemy, and he didn't expect the enemy to ambush here.
"If you really dare to ambush me, it's okay, I'll wipe you all here." After Yan Liang stabilized the army, he showed a cruel smile, intending to entangle Zhang Yu and the others, waiting for Wen Chou and Gao Lan to arrive.
"The messenger immediately went to inform Wen Chou and Gao Lan to go, and the others fought back with me." Yan Liang ordered people, and then led them to kill them.
The two armies collided and immediately started fighting.
Zhang Yu led his men to break through the enemy's formation and began to charge inside.
At the same time, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong also started to charge, making several breaches in the enemy's formation.
In the darkness, the two armies fought together.
Blood splashes, iron horse Jinge.
Zhang Yu fought hard, and the number of enemies who died under his Overlord Halberd had already exceeded a hundred.
The attack power of several powerful generals was very high, and Yan Liang's army immediately suffered heavy casualties.
"I underestimated you, the attack power is so strong." Yan Liang was shocked.
Although he is frivolous, he is also capable. When fighting an enemy, he immediately knows that the opponent is difficult to deal with.
"Shrink the troops and entangle them." Yan Liang had to change his strategy and turn to defense.
"This Yan Liang made another move." Zhang Yu, who was fighting, did not cut open the enemy's army formation all at once as expected, but was blocked by Yan Liang's army.
If you can't penetrate the enemy's army formation, you can only kill slowly.
"It's evil, come and help me." Zhang Yu called out and asked Dian Wei to come and help.
When Dian Wei heard this, he charged in Zhang Yu's direction.
