Chapter 600 Raiding Pinggu County

(The former Liaoxi County should be changed to Youbeiping County)

Zhang Yu arranged everything, conveyed a few orders to other troops, and then he waited for the opportunity.

The next day, the opportunity appeared, and all his troops withdrew from Youbeiping County, that is, Yuan Jun completely occupied Youbeiping County.

Yan Liang was the commander of this battle. He decisively ordered the army to move forward and continue to attack Liaoxi County.

The army moved forward, and the food and grass had to keep up. At this time, Yuan Jun transported a batch of food and grass from Pinggu County, Yuyang County.

This batch of grain and grass is very large, and it will be escorted by 15,000 troops. It will be sent to the front line so that Yan Liang can continue to attack Liaoxi County.

Zhang Yu was not interested in this batch of grain and grass. Although there was a lot of grain and grass in this batch, it was not enough to change the whole situation of the battle.

The most critical thing is the 15,000 troops.

This army came from Pinggu County. Zhang Yu sent people to investigate before, and there were only 50,000 troops in the county.

Although 50,000 troops are not a lot, but with the careful defense of the county, it is no problem to block Zhang Yu and the others for a few days, but it will be very difficult for the surrounding soldiers and horses to come to support and break through the county within a few days.

But now, there are 15,000 troops coming out of the city. As long as this army is eaten, there will only be 35,000 defenders in the city, and it will be much easier to break through the county.

Pinggu County, Yuan Shao's key defensive area, because this was once the place where Zhang Yu and his hundreds of thousands of troops faced each other, so Yuan Shao carefully arranged for it.

Today, they have hoarded a large amount of military supplies here as a base for attack.

If Zhang Yu breaks through here, then Yan Liang's 200,000-odd army will lose supplies and be in danger at that time.

Zhang Yu's goal is Pinggu County, and the invasion will start from here.

Pinggu County was originally just a small county seat, but it was reinforced after Yuan Jun's army moved in.

There were originally 50,000 defenders inside, and it would be no problem to hold them for a few days until they were supported, but now 15,000 troops are escorting food and grass.

Zhang Yu naturally would not let go of such an opportunity.

"Han Sheng,

You go to the front to ambush, and attack one day later, the rest of the army will surround the county with me, and we will attack at the same time, without giving them a chance to react. " Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu waited for the army escorting the food and grass to leave before doing anything.

Zhang Yu had carefully considered the possibility of fighting in a day later. Although time is precious now, several places are going to war at the same time.

But it is still difficult to eat Yan Liang's army of more than 200,000 troops.

Zhang Yu wanted the retreating army of Youbeiping County to join the army of Liaoxi County. With the addition of the militia organization temporarily recruited, the two counties of Zhang Yu could bring together 80,000 troops.

With an army of 80,000, it is enough to disperse part of Yan Liang's army.

When the news of Zhang Yu's attack on their rear reached Yan Liang, Yan Liang must have retreated urgently, and the army in western Liaoning would pursue them at that time.

The 80,000 troops pursued, but Yan Liang had to leave tens of thousands of troops behind to stop him.

In this way, the troops are scattered, and Zhang Yu and the others have more opportunities.

Huang Zhong led people to set off first, and went to the front to ambush.

The escort army of 15,000 is not very powerful. Facing Huang Zhong's 50,000 heavy cavalry, it must not have much resistance.

If it weren't for the fact that heavy cavalry were not suitable for attacking the city, Zhang Yu would not have sent Huang Zhong there.

A day later, Zhang Yu and the others came out of their hiding place and quietly rushed towards Pinggu County.

At this time, Pinggu County is very peaceful, because the entire Youbeiping County has fallen, and it is surrounded by its own territory. Pinggu County has also become its own hinterland, not the previous front line.

From the front line to the hinterland, this has greatly changed the psychology of the defenders inside.

If it wasn't for this, it would be impossible for them to send 15,000 troops to escort food and grass.

This will greatly weaken the defense of the city.

But now they don't care so much.

"Haha, I can finally let go of the burden on my heart. As a guard, I used to face Zhang Yu's heavy soldiers every day, and I was worried all day long."

Xie Fu, the guard of Pinggu County, talked to his subordinates while drinking.

"Yes, General, there were tens of thousands of enemy troops facing us before, who knows when they will make a surprise attack, we are on duty every day, and we haven't had a sip of wine for a long time." A lieutenant general said in agreement.

The pressure on the defenders in Pinggu County is indeed very high. Before that, they did not dare to relax at all, fearing that Zhang Yu would sneak attack.

But now they don't have this worry, because Zhang Yu and the others don't have an army to attack.

The most important thing is that even Youbeiping County was captured by them.

The front line has turned into the hinterland. This change is too great, which makes them relax all of a sudden.

So, this time they drink together and relax together.

Usually they really dare not drink alcohol, but Yuan Shao is quite strict with this place, with strict requirements, no one dares to mess around.

But this time, no one cares about them. The army has gone to the front line, and they only need to ensure the supplies of the army.

When there are no enemies around, they just drink and drink.

But what Xie Fu didn't know was that there were already enemies around, and Zhang Yu stayed there with the army approaching them, waiting to strike.

"It's all hidden. Seeing how lax their guard is, this battle shouldn't be difficult." Zhang Yu and the others easily approached the county town for more than ten miles and hid in one place.

"My lord, just push them over. They must be defenseless." Dian Wei said.

What Dian Wei said was not unreasonable. Zhang Yu sent people to investigate and found that they were not very prepared. However, Zhang Yu planned to launch an attack after dark and strive to capture the city within two days for the sake of caution.

With an army of more than 30,000, it is not difficult for Zhang Yu to capture Pinggu County within two days as long as he risks casualties.

The army lurked for more than two hours, and the sky gradually darkened.

In Pinggu County, Xie Fu's banquet has been going on all the time. In the past, there were other main battle troops. Although he was a guard, there were a bunch of people in charge of him. Now that the troops have all gone out, he is the biggest here.

Only at this time did he dare to summon his deputy to drink.

"Happy, happy." Several people had already drunk high, and the more they drank, the happier they became.

"Come again, if you don't get drunk tonight, you won't go home."

"Yes, who dares to be lazy tonight, I won't drink with him in the future."

A few people shouted loudly again, as for being on duty, it doesn't exist, there are no enemies around, so why go on duty.

Not to mention these generals, many soldiers below also deserted.

There are still soldiers on the top of the city, they are on duty, there is nothing they can do, the soldiers who are not on duty are either going out to have fun or sleeping in the barracks.

The officials on top didn't care about them, why are they still so serious, the discipline of the garrison army is average, if no one cares, of course they have to herd sheep.

"God help me, Yuan Jun's vigilance is so poor." Zhang Yu and the others were not found five miles away.

"Change the battle plan, make a surprise attack with the whole army, and break the city tonight."

Zhang Yu saw the opportunity and decisively ordered a surprise attack. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
