Chapter 567 Surrounding Nest County

It took Zhang Yu less than a day to destroy the city. There were about 60,000 troops in the city, but the combined casualties of Zhang Yu and the others were only more than 4,000 people.

The casualties were a little higher on the first day, and the enemy couldn't hold on without attacking the enemy for two rounds on the second day.

At the same time, the casualties of the archers were greater than that of the rushing team, which is extremely rare in siege battles.

After entering the city, Zhang Yu ordered the 20,000 harassing troops from last night to station here, resting while controlling the city.

Zhang Yu and the others rested inside for a little while and then rushed to a nearby county town.

It also took a day to capture the city.

In this way, the county towns around Chaohu Lake were taken by Zhang Yu and the others, and the rest of the county towns were relatively far away, and Zhang Yu had no plans to attack for the time being.

On the way, Sun Ce and the others received news that Zhang Yu and the others were the first to attack.

"Bo Fu, it's cheap for us, Zhang Yu actually attacked so early." Veteran Huang Gai said.

Zhou Yu on the side remained silent.

Sun Ce turned to Zhou Yu and said, "Gong Jin, this Zhang Yu didn't attack after we launched an attack, but created opportunities for us, but what kind of conspiracy is there?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Yuan Shu knew that we were going to attack him a long time ago, and he was ready, but we sent troops secretly this time, and Yuan Shu didn't know the exact time when we sent troops."

Cheng Pu asked, "So what?"

"Whoever attacks first will have a chance to make a surprise attack. Zhang Yu attacked Yuan Shu first and gained the upper hand, but we lost the chance to make a surprise attack," Zhou Yu said.

"Hey, this Zhang Yu is really treacherous." Huang Gai said.

"Otherwise," Zhou Yu pondered for a while and said, "Zhang Yu will attack first, and Yuan Shu will naturally send a large army to encircle and suppress them. This will also share a lot of pressure for us."

In short, there are advantages and disadvantages, but Zhou Yu still doesn't understand Zhang Yu's purpose in doing this. If Zhang Yu chooses to attack when both sides are anxious, he can definitely get the most benefits. Zhang Yu's attack at this time is definitely not the most favorable time.

Sun Ce and the others didn't understand what Zhang Yu was going to do, so they could only continue to attack.

And Zhang Yu and the others,

Captured the county people next to Chaohu Lake, and then disappeared.

"Hurry up, it must be set up within a day, and the camps must be built in the other two places."

"Have the arrows from the rear been sent up, tell them to speed up and bring more arrows over."

"Erasure all traces on the road, and send out scouts to monitor a radius of thirty miles."

Zhang Yu gave orders again and again, nervously began to arrange.

After Zhang Yu and the others captured the city, they left and went to the side of Chaohu Lake.

On the Chaohu side, there are many water systems and the terrain is complex.

In many jungles, reed marshes and other places, it is too easy to hide a hundred thousand people.

After Zhang Yu and the others arrived here, they set up camps and transported a large amount of supplies from the rear.

Zhang Yu and the others have been here for two days.

"Reporting to my lord, the military adviser has sent a message that General Ling Cao and the others can arrive at the designated location tonight." The soldier reported.

Zhang Yu immediately spread out the map in his big tent, and looked at it.

Ling Cao was on the other side, tens of miles away from them.

"Okay, keep in touch, just wait for Gao Shun to arrive." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu wants to set up a big picture here and win Jiujiang County in one fell swoop.

When Yuan Shu's territory was attacked, he was undoubtedly very anxious and angry, and immediately ordered the army to kill him.

His main focus was on Xuzhou. In Xuzhou, Yuan Shu also occupied Huaiyin and other places. Yuan Shu himself was in Shouchun and was planning to attack Cao Cao and Liu Bei's territory, but at this time he was invaded by Zhang Yu and the others.

Yuan Shu reacted very quickly, and immediately organized an army of 300,000 to go south, and soldiers and horses from other counties also moved.

An army of one million, Yuan Shu is a man with an army of one million.

Zhang Yu paid close attention to all the movements.

"Report, my lord, General Ling Cao has led people into Chao County fifty miles away to hide." The soldier reported.

"Where is General Gao Shun?" Zhang Yu asked again.

"My lord, according to the distance, General Gao Shun and the others still have two days to go." The soldier asked.

"Let the scouts keep an eye on Sun Ce immediately, I need to know their progress."

According to Zhang Yu's calculations, Sun Ce should have fought them long ago.

At this time, Sun Ce's progress was also very smooth. Although Yuan Shu had made preparations, he had not completed the preparations, and the army was still training in Huaiyin and other places.

This was Yuan Shu's miscalculation. They all thought that Sun Ce had just obtained weapons and equipment and would need to train for three to six months. What they didn't know was that Sun Ce's soldiers and horses began to train when they had no weapons and equipment.

And Zhang Yu was even earlier, making preparations a long time ago.

In this way, Yuan Shu underestimated and was hit by a time lag.

However, the area of ​​Poyang Lake is also the place where Yuan Shu focused on defense. Yuan Shu bought that place from Zhang Yu at a high price, and that place is a big producer of grain. The grain there alone is enough for Yuan Shu, so the place was arranged Nearly half a million troops.

On the contrary, Yuan Shu deployed more than 200,000 troops in Jiujiang County, most of which were second-line troops.

Zhang Yu and the others attacked suddenly, attacked from three directions, and soon captured half of the county.

Three groups of soldiers and horses slowly gathered around Chaohu Lake.

Two days later, Gao Shun arrived and immediately surrounded Chao County.

Chao County is next to Chaohu Lake, which is also a place for grain production, and the water system of Chaohu Lake is also well developed.

Gao Shun surrounded Chao County and was not in a hurry to attack.

And Zhang Yu and Ling Cao were on both sides, dozens of miles away from Chao County.

It is not difficult to capture Chao County. Although Chao County has a good defense, there are more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and they are all well-equipped and well-trained troops.

But Zhang Yu didn't want to just capture Chao County.

It is not difficult to capture Chao County, Zhang Yu set up a bureau for their troops in Jiujiang County.

Gao Shun surrounded Chao County, but instead of besieging him to death, he let go of a city gate.

When he arrived outside Chao County, Gao Shun asked the soldiers to set up camp and rest there.

Most of Jiujiang County has been captured by Zhang Yu.

Chao County was besieged by a large army, and it was very frightening.

Immediately a fast horse reported the nearest city of Hefei.

General Yuan Jun was in a mess in Hefei City.

They are arguing over whether to save Chao County.

"Chao County must be saved, otherwise Zhang Yu will drive straight into Hefei."

"It can't be saved. Sun Ce is attacking in the south. Once we send troops, Hefei will be empty."

"My lord has already sent an army to support us. Starting from Shouchun, we can reach Hefei City in three days. We should go to save Chaoxian County first."

Several generals had different opinions, quarreled endlessly, and finally did not reach a unified opinion.

But they immediately reported the news to Yuan Shu and let Yuan Shu decide.

Yuan Shu was also in a hurry at this time. He had already received news that Sun Ce and Zhang Yu might jointly attack him, so he has been training soldiers and making preparations, but Yuan Shu thought they would attack in two or three months. Unexpectedly, before he finished his preparations, Zhang Yu and Sun Ce had already killed him. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
