Chapter 228
When Zou Dan said this, everyone realized how terrifying their opponent was, and they all broke out in a cold sweat. If it was true that Youbeiping was occupied and Gongsun Zan failed, then what's the point of them defending Yuyang?

At this time, the previous joy and anger had long since disappeared, replaced by an extremely depressing atmosphere, no one spoke anymore, and the entire hall could hear a needle drop in silence.

This silence lasted for as long as a cup of tea, when suddenly a person stood up and said loudly: "Since that's the case, the general is willing to break out of the siege and send troops to the lord to rescue Lu County."

Zou Dan saw that it turned out to be the young general Wan Ming who was the first to say that he would stick to Yuyang City, and he was overjoyed and said, "It's fortunate for Dan to have a loyal and brave general like General Wan assist him, but General Wan, don't worry, it should be We have the only chance to break through the siege, so we must plan well. Only by being caught by surprise can we succeed. In this way, tonight I will lead five thousand soldiers out of the city to rob the Eastern Camp and create chaos for the enemy. The army broke into the West Camp, and I believe that in this way, the probability of breaking through the siege can reach more than [-]%."

"Promise! I will obey my order." Wan Ming knew that if he broke through forcefully, the chances would never be too high, but now with Zou Dan's cooperation, he was fully confident that he could break through.

That night, Zou Dan ordered his general Zou Ping to lead an army of [-] troops to the outside of Xu Huang's camp. He raised torches, beat drums and shouted, and sang a fake show of robbing the village, in an attempt to arouse the panic of the enemy and cover the Wan Ming broke through.

At this time, Xu Huang was resting in the tent, when suddenly Fang Yue, the general of the Ministry, came to report that someone had robbed the camp and asked Xu Huang for instructions.

Xu Huang sneered slightly when he heard this, and Fang Yue said: "I expected that with Zou Dan's temperament, he definitely didn't intend to rob the camp to win. The reason why he did this must be because he guessed our army's intentions, so on the surface It's a camp robbery, but it's actually a screener breaking out, reporting to Gongsun Zan, reminding Gongsun Zan of the affairs in Lu County, we must not let him succeed, and at the same time, we must take the opportunity to teach him a lesson, Fang Yue, you must lead your troops to fight immediately. Let Zou Dan pay a price, and he will never break out of the encirclement."

"Promise." After Fang Yue got the order, he immediately led his soldiers to fight. Although he only had 2000 soldiers under his command, [-] were enough for him. Although there were many people in Zou Dan's army, most of them were temporary recruits. , if it is used to defend the city, it can barely be used, but it is used for field battles, and it has no combat effectiveness at all.

So Fang Yue didn't make too much preparation at all. He led his army to the front of the camp, formed a formation, and directly led the soldiers under his command to kill them. Fang Yue is now considered a first-class fierce general. Even Gongsun Zan is no match for him, let alone Zou Dan. This mediocre general with a group of weak recruits?
And the result was indeed as Fang Yue expected. There was no suspense in this battle. It was a one-sided massacre. The soldiers under Zou Dan suffered heavy losses and blood flowed like rivers. Yue was killed, but fortunately the soldiers under his command were all veterans, and they fought desperately to protect him and break out of the encirclement.

"I didn't expect just Xu Huang to have such a powerful combat power. This time, our army lost more than 1000 soldiers and injured more than [-] soldiers. If it weren't for me, I wouldn't dare to enter the camp rashly. I'm afraid that even if the entire army is wiped out in this battle, it is not impossible. Alas, it seems that I don't have the ability even if I want to fight head-on. From now on, we will have to stick to this city.”

After fleeing back in embarrassment, Zou Dan had a wry smile on his face. In fact, he had no time to care about his failure. He just prayed that Wan Ming's breakthrough would be successful.

However, Zou Dan didn't know that Xu Huang had seen through his plan a long time ago, and after Fang Yue left, he immediately asked his own soldiers to inform Li Tong, the guard of the West Camp, and watched carefully with his eyes wide open. Can't let it fly over camp.

After Li Tong got the order, he immediately ordered people to be on guard. Sure enough, he saw a person rushing through the camp after a while. That person was naturally Wan Ming. He thought that most of the soldiers in the west camp had gone to support the east camp, so he rushed in with confidence. Come in, and shout loudly: "Get out of the way quickly, but spare your life. If you forcefully stop it, not only will it be useless, but it will cost a life in vain."

However, this time he took the initiative to disappoint Wan Ming, because none of the tens of thousands of troops in the entire West Camp made a move. Even if each of these people spit, it would be enough to drown him, and these soldiers couldn't even spit. Because their leader, Li Tong, personally stopped them, and beheaded Wan Ming in just one move.

Early the next morning, when Zou Dan was praying for Wan Ming to break through the siege, he suddenly saw a report from his own soldiers that a troop had arrived not far from Yuyang City. Tong Tong, holding a head in his hand, shouted loudly: "Where is Zou Dan, the prefect of Yuyang? Are you expecting someone to break through the siege and rescue soldiers for you? But you don't have to report this hope, because our General Xu has a clever plan." , I have already calculated that you will send people to break through from the west camp, and send this general to strictly defend, but the unnamed general you sent didn't know it at all, and actually broke in. As a result, before my subordinates walked a round, they were killed. A certain owl went to the first level, look at this, don’t you?”

After speaking, Li Tong shook the head in his hand, then ordered a soldier to ride down to the city and threw the head on the top of the city.

The soldiers on the top of the city caught the head with quick eyes and quick hands, and after just one glance, they decided that this was Wan Ming's head.

Zou Dan didn't believe it when he heard the words, but he couldn't believe it until he checked the head himself. He sighed and said: "I really didn't expect things to develop to this point. General Wan is so loyal and brave. With the death of General Wan, who will be able to break through again? In the future, my Yuyang City will not have any problems, but Lu County will be in danger. At the beginning, the Lord made our two cities horns of each other to guard against Liu. and the army, but now it seems that our plan will come to nothing."

Li Tong retreated after throwing the head over, and never mentioned the matter of attacking the city again. Instead, he ordered the army to continue to defend and defend tightly, absolutely not giving the enemy any chance to break through.

Zou Dan, who was not reconciled, organized several breakouts later, but they failed every time. Not only that, but also lost more than 3000 soldiers and horses. Now Zou Dan dare not act rashly, because the soldiers in his city He lost less than half of it. If he dared to continue like this, it is estimated that the opponent could wipe out his entire army with a strong attack, and he would not even need to be trapped.

"From then on, I can only find ways to defend this Yuyang City. The only hope now is that my lord can think of this and take the initiative to send more reinforcements to Lu County." Zou Dan shook his head and said with a wry smile.
