Chapter 359: Night Breakthrough

"Haha, Yuan Shao, did you fall to your death?"

On the top of the city, Zhang Yu happened to see this scene, so he laughed and shouted.

Many people saw Yuan Shao fall off his horse.

Coupled with Zhang Yu's shout, Yuan Jun's attack on the city was stopped.

Why did Yuan Shao fall down?

The reason was that Zhang Yu's army suddenly captured a county town not far away and killed them.

Not only Yuan Shao fell off his horse in shock, but the generals around him also looked incredible.

"Impossible, impossible, why does Zhang Yu still have an army, how many troops does he have?" Yuan Shao was carried into the back tent, still muttering non-stop.

Yes, it was all too sudden.

Seeing that the city was about to fall, Zhang Yu had support.

Yan Liang did not follow, but responded immediately.

While continuing to attack the city, of course, the intensity immediately dropped, because he had to divide his troops to prevent Zhang Yu's reinforcements from sneaking in, and he had to reserve enough reserve troops, so his strength was not much.

Yuan Shaoyou woke up, and after waking up, his eyes widened and he looked up, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Zhang Yu, I'm so mad." After a long time, Yuan Shao cursed loudly, making everyone around him jump.

Many generals gathered in Yuan Shao's big tent, waiting for Yuan Shao's order.

Yuan Shao got up angrily, then summoned all the generals and said, "How is the situation now? How many reinforcements does Zhang Yu have?"

"General, according to information, Zhang Yu has 15,000 reinforcements, and the main generals are Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun who escaped. At this time, they left 5,000 troops to defend Quyang County, and another 10,000 troops are already approaching the battlefield, ready to meet Zhang Yu. , the two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou have responded." A lieutenant reported.

Yuan Shao's heart twitched a few times. In this situation, even if he wanted to take down Zhang Yu, it would not be so easy. If the time is long, Gongsun Zan may take the opportunity to launch a fierce attack and put a lot of pressure on himself.

"Can we stop Zhang Yu's reinforcements and quickly take Yuanshi County?" Yuan Shao asked.

None of the generals in the room dared to answer.

So many troops stormed the city before but failed to break through the city. Now that the enemy has come to reinforce them, and their morale has plummeted, it is difficult to win the opponent in a short time.

Before the time was on Yuan Shao's side, Yuan Shao could slowly attack Zhang Yu.

But now, time is no longer on Yuan Shao's side. Gongsun Zan's massive attack on the border between Youzhou and Jizhou has put tremendous pressure on them.

Not to mention Yuan Shao's side, Zhang Yu and the others stabilized the situation and began to counterattack in an orderly manner.

Yuan Shao's plan to destroy the city failed. At this time, Zhang Yu mobilized a large number of people to demolish the county government and some warehouses, and transported a large number of stones and rolling logs.

On the other side, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun had already arrived.

When they reached the periphery of the battlefield, the two of them led soldiers and horses around in circles, waiting for opportunities to act, but they just refused to confront Yan Liang and the others.

The two were not in a hurry to enter the battlefield, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were very anxious.

The two even took the initiative to attack, but once they attacked, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun immediately retreated.

But Yan Liang and Wen Chou didn't dare to catch up.

"Haha, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, we've been fighting for so long, don't you know something? If you don't have a chance, retreat right away, you can't do anything to us." Huang Zhong ran back and said provocatively.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou were furious, but they had nothing to do with each other. They dared not stay away from here for fear of being tricked.

In this way, the battlefield became stalemate like this, and Yuan Shao and the others were powerless to break the situation.

In the city, Zhang Yu called Dian Wei and said: "Come on, smash down our rocks and rolling logs, and kill Yuan Jun more. We are going to break out at night, and these things will not be needed."

Zhang Yu said again: "If you don't leave, once Yuan Shao goes crazy and confronts us, he really won't be able to leave."

Zhang Yu has made a fuss in Jizhou for almost two months, and his goal has been achieved.

At this time, Gongsun Zan took the initiative, and Yuan Shao's goal of quickly eating Gongsun Zan and occupying Youzhou could no longer be achieved.

At this time, Zhang Yu would not continue to fight to the death with the opponent, and it was reasonable to run back quickly.

However, there are more than 60,000 Yuan Jun outside, and it is not so easy to retreat safely.

You also need to find the right time to retreat.

The two sides stalemate for a long time to no avail.

At night, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun retreated.

But they didn't take off their armor, and they didn't leave too far. After all, Zhang Yu and the others were still surrounded by the enemy.

At night, Yuan Jun didn't dare to attack, so he surrounded them.

Zhang Yu let them rest early.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Yu called Dian Wei and asked, "Evil, are you ready?"

"My lord, according to your order, the soldiers have started to eat. In addition, we have piled up a lot of wood in the county government." Dian Wei reported.

Zhang Yu nodded, everything was ready.

After midnight, the soldiers were full.

The team assembled in the city.

"My lord, just let those aristocratic families go like this, just kill them." Dian Wei said without anger.

"No, no, no, we have to be honest, and we can't hurt them after collecting money, otherwise how will we do business in the future."

Zhang Yu was trapped in the city and didn't know who paid the money and who didn't, so he let them all go.

Seeing that the army was ready, Zhang Yu did not delay.

"Open the city gate."

With an order, the city gate slowly opened.

It was the north gate that Zhang Yu and the others opened. As soon as the city gate opened, Zhang Yu led the people out slowly.

Yuan Jun outside was still surrounded, but Zhang Yu went out like this, not afraid at all.

"Not good, Zhang Yu is going to break through."

"Go and stop them."

When Zhang Yu and the others left the city, they were discovered.

At the same time, a fire broke out in the city.

Of course, Zhang Yu would not burn the city down in a frenzy.

He just piled up a lot of wood on the open space where the county government was demolished, and then set it on fire.

The purpose of setting off this fire was to signal Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun to respond.

Sure enough, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun soon found out, because they had deployed many spies outside the city.

"Go, meet the lord."

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun immediately led their soldiers and horses to kill them.

But Zhang Yu and the others began to charge.

Yuan Jun surrounded them, trying to stop them.

Yuan Shao was also alarmed and got up quickly in the middle of the night.

"We must not let Zhang Yu run away." Yuan Shao shouted while putting on his clothes.

Yuan Jun surrounded him from all sides, and Zhang Yu and the others began to rush out.

Zhang Yu and Dian Wei, soaked in blood, opened the way ahead.

The enemies kept coming, trying to overwhelm Zhang Yu and the others.

Zhang Yu and Dian Wei stood firmly like boulders.

In this way, the war broke out in the dark night.

In the distance came the rumbling sound of war horses trampling the ground, as if to shatter the night.

"Reinforcements are coming, follow me." Zhang Yu didn't forget to motivate the soldiers while fighting, so that they could exert stronger fighting power.
