Chapter 526: The Siege Begins
Cao Cao was in trouble, and discussed with the two for a while, but to no avail.
The next day, he summoned all his staff to start deliberations.
As a result of the discussions, there was still no consensus.
In the past two days, Guo Jia has been very calm, eating, sleeping, drinking, doing whatever he likes, not in a hurry at all, and there is no atmosphere of soldiers oppressing the situation at all.
However, Cao Cao and the others have been discussing, but they have not been able to form a unified result.
After discussing and discussing, three days passed.
Cao Cao became impatient and told everyone to go back.
Cao Cao thought about it, so he summoned Guo Jia again.
"Brother Feng Xiao, I heard that you are doing well these few days." Cao Cao asked with a smile.
"Naturally, unlike General Cao who is busy with affairs, there are still many problems to consider." Guo Jia said.
"Haha, brother Fengxiao is interesting, don't worry at all." Cao Cao said.
Guo Jia smiled lightly and said, "Why am I in such a hurry, the lord has already made perfect arrangements for Youzhou, and Yuan Shao can't break through at all. As for whether you and Liu Bei send troops or not, it's not something I should worry about. I'll just run errands." Yes, do what you should do."
Cao Cao was startled. Could it be that Zhang Yu was not worried at all that he would not send troops to him, and he had to deal with Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of troops alone.
"Haha, Brother Feng Xiao is really a wonderful person, so I don't know if you have any suggestions." Cao Cao asked.
Guo Jia leaned back on the chair leisurely, then took a few sips of tea and said: "General Cao, I decided to ask you to do it, but I can tell you about the situation."
Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, waiting for Guo Jia to speak.
Guo Jia waited for a while and said: "Based on what I know about my lord, Yuan Shao will definitely be forced to increase or retreat troops. General Cao can wait until then to make a decision."
Cao Cao didn't continue to say that there were many things involved, and it was impossible for him to let an outsider influence his decision.
The two talked for a while, and then Guo Jia said goodbye and left.
Guo Jia arrived at the door,
Then he shook his head self-deprecatingly and said, "I have to do what I have to do, and I should leave too."
Yes, Guo Jia was about to leave, so he scolded Liu Bei first, and then came to Cao Cao. At Cao Cao's place, it seemed like he was asking for help, but it didn't look like he was asking for help.
Guo Jia left the next day, but Cao Cao was still suffering from a headache.
The dispatch of troops is certain, but when and how intensely should the troops be dispatched?
Not long after Guo Jia left, Cao Cao received the news that Yuan Shao sent another 200,000 troops to Youzhou.
The scope of Yuan Shao's deployment of troops is from Qingzhou and Jizhou. Obviously Cao Cao got the news early.
After getting the news, Cao Cao immediately began to mobilize troops.
Yes, Yuan Shao made a move. He mobilized troops from Jizhou and Qingzhou. This is their chance.
Cao Cao didn't hesitate, and immediately mobilized his troops.
And Cao Cao's move, mobilizing troops and horses, Liu Bei immediately became nervous.
Liu Bei was always afraid that Cao Cao would kill him again, so when Cao Cao mobilized his troops, Liu Bei was naturally anxious.
He immediately assembled troops, no matter whether Cao Cao came to deal with him or not, he had to be prepared first.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei assembled troops, and under the use of those who cared, they quickly spread to Yuan Shao.
After Yuan Shao's troops were assembled, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were also gathering troops when they heard that there was movement in the rear, but their intentions were unknown.
Yuan Shao immediately became entangled.
Yuan Shao immediately called his subordinates.
"Tell me, what Cao Aman and Liu Bei want to do, can you stop it?"
All the subordinates started to quarrel again, Yuan Shao's subordinates love to quarrel.
Argued for a long time to no avail.
Ju Shou came out and said: "Master, you can send someone back to take charge of the overall situation. We still have hundreds of thousands of horses there, which can completely block it."
Guo Tu came out and said: "This is obviously a conspiracy. Zhang Yu knew that they would send troops, otherwise he would not be so calm. We have been besieging the city for more than a month, and this Zhang Yu is still leisurely, wandering around the top of the city from time to time."
Jushou Tianfeng advocated a fierce attack, because 500,000 soldiers and horses have assembled, so there is no reason to give up.
However, Guo Tu Shenpei and others believed that this was a conspiracy and should be dealt with carefully. They should surround rather than attack, trapping Zhang Yu to death.
Guo Tu and others said lightly, how can an army of 500,000 people consume a lot of food and grass every day, how can they sustain it.
Finally, Yuan Shao ordered a fierce attack.
"Fight, I have an army of 500,000. I don't believe that I can't conquer a small city." Yuan Shao said.
Yuan Shao ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou to immediately form an army and prepare for a fierce attack.
Yan Liang quickly acted, dispatched a large army, and began to attack.
At the beginning, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses attacked together, with great momentum.
"kill."
"The first one to reach the city wall will be rewarded,"
"Catch Zhang Yu alive and be promoted to five ranks."
Yuan Jun chanted slogans, and under the temptation of heavy rewards, he went to the top of the city one after another.
Zhang Yu also came to the top of the city when he heard the movement.
"Finally it's true, as long as Yuan Shao is beaten this time, I will beat him next time."
Zhang Yu handed over the city wall to Zhang Liao and Tai Shici. He did not participate in the specific command, but he did not leave the city, but was watching the battle.
This time Yuan Jun is serious.
"My lord, Yuan Jun's army formation in the distance is what you said to guard against our cavalry. Look at their appearance, how can they stop us?" Dian Wei said.
Yes, Zhang Yu took a look. Not far behind Yuan Jun's attacking army formation, there was an army formation, guarded with shields and spears, just because they were afraid that Zhang Yu's cavalry would attack suddenly.
In addition, Yuan Jun's cavalry was preparing a little further back, and as long as Zhang Yu's cavalry dared to come out, they would rush up immediately.
Shields and spears are used to guard against heavy cavalry, while other cavalry are used to guard against light cavalry.
It can be said that Yuan Jun was well prepared, so he mobilized half of the soldiers and horses from several states to attack Zhang Yu.
Under such circumstances, Yuan Shao himself would not allow him to give up fighting.
When Yuan Shao came to the battlefield, he saw hundreds of thousands of troops attacking the city wall, and the scene was spectacular.
The soldiers rushed forward, as if they could knock down the city wall with one blow.
But on the top of the city, Zhang Yu and the others had already made preparations.
As soon as the enemy came up, all arrows were fired, and they suffered a lot.
At the city gate, Yuan Shao and the others prepared a lot of siege equipment, and the siege vehicles began to hit the city gate.
But soon their city rush car was unusable because the whole car caught fire.
Zhang Yu and the others filled clay pots with alcohol and smashed them on their siege vehicles, and then set them on fire with arrows. The raging fire forced them to abandon the siege vehicles, and at the same time hindered the surrounding siege teams.
Similarly, the soldiers who used the ladder also encountered the same thing. Zhang Yu and the others poured alcohol down and lit the fire.
In this way, Yuan Jun returned without success and had to suspend the siege.
"Why did this happen? Where did the fire come from? Why did it all start?" General Yuan Jun was very puzzled, why he ignited the fire so easily. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
