"Wen Chou! Immediately gather troops and horses, let's go out of the city and fight that Guan Yu to the death!"
An angry Yuan Shao was planning to take people out of the city to make friends with Guan Yu.Still, he was quickly stopped by the allocation officer.
"My lord, don't do it. Guan Yu's soldiers and horses are all elite. We have seen that he is not easy to deal with in the first battle of Xiapi. Now our army is in a state of decline. If we go out of the city and fight with Guan Yu, there is little chance. !"
The judge yelled at Yuan Shao nervously, poured cold water on Yuan Shao, and immediately sobered up Yuan Shao who was in a rage.
That's right, Yuan Shao, who didn't have many soldiers and horses, was at a stage of low morale at this time. If he went out of the city to fight Guan Yu at this time, he would have almost no chance of winning.
Let alone a decisive battle out of the city, even relying on Tan County's defense, it is not easy to face Guan Yu's [-] troops.
Even Wen Chou was shocked when he heard what Yuan Shao said just now, he was really a little scared.
Fortunately, Yuan Shao came to his senses very quickly, and gave up the idea of taking people out of the city to fight Guan Yu.
"Damn it, although we can't fight Guan Yu at this time, Tan County must be defended!"
Yuan Shao said angrily, the order cannot be doubted.
Wen Chou responded immediately after listening.
"Yes, my lord! The general will swear to the death to defend Tan County!"
After Wen Chou finished speaking, he immediately went down and began to command the soldiers and horses in the city to climb up the tower, ready to welcome the arrival of Guan Yu's army at any time.
And Yuan Shao himself was not idle. On the one hand, he sent people to Qingzhou, and ordered Qingzhou Governor Gao Gan to send people to support him. On the other hand, he quickly sent people to Yanzhou, hoping to let his eldest son Yuan Tan increase his attack on Yanzhou. .
After the situation in Xuzhou did not have any advantage, Yuan Shao could only pin his hopes on Yanzhou.
Chapter 816 Anxious Oriole
After all, Yuan Shao attacked Liu Bei this time, but Xuzhou and Yanzhou sent troops at the same time. He personally commanded the battle in Xuzhou, and Yanzhou was led by his eldest son Yuan Tan, the other two of the Hebei Four Court Columns.
Now that Yuan Shao has attracted Liu Bei's full attention, Liu Bei can dispatch a lot less soldiers and horses to Yanzhou. In this way, it will be much less difficult for Yuan Tan to take down Yanzhou.
As long as Yuan Tan can threaten Yanzhou, Liu Bei on Xuzhou's side has to be concerned about it, and even dispatches troops from Xuzhou to Yanzhou for support.
In this way, Yuan Shao's pressure will be reduced.
Yuan Shao has just finished his busy work here, and has taken some defensive measures.
Guan Yu, who was outside the city, had joined forces with Zhao Yun to lead an army of [-] troops to the city of Tan County.
Although Tan County is the seat of Donghai County, Donghai County is not a big county in Xuzhou, and the county seat is not a big city with strong walls.
It's just an ordinary small city, and it's not as good as Picheng.
However, it is a county town anyway, and it is not easy to take it down.
After Guan Yu and Zhao Yun's [-] troops appeared in Tan County, they did not immediately start attacking the city, but after setting up camp, they began to form troops.
After preparing all the preparations, Guan Yu began to let soldiers and horses appear under the city one after another, and beat the drums to attract the attention of Yuan Jun on the tower.
Wen Chou and Jiang Qi glanced back and forth on the tower. On the one hand, they were checking how many enemy troops there were under the city, and on the other hand, they were also considering how their own troops could defeat the attack of Guan Yu and others.
Guan Yu appeared at the foot of the city, sitting down on a jujube-colored warhorse, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife with one hand, and wearing a green robe with majesty.
After smoothing his extremely long beard with his hands, Guan Yu raised his strength, roared, and started shouting towards the tower.
"Listen to the defenders on the tower, wait for an hour to open the city and surrender, otherwise you will be killed when you enter the city."
Guan Yu is still considered gentle, and he didn't say arrogant words such as massacring the city.
After all, this Tan County was also under Liu Bei's rule, and the people in the city still had a little liking for Liu Bei, so Guan Yu would naturally not do such bad things.
However, regarding Yuan Shao's anger, Guan Yu was no less angry than others. After all, Yuan Shao took advantage of others' danger and led the army to attack Xuzhou at this moment, which made Guan Yu very shameless. The Liangzi formed before must be seen at this time.
"Stop thieves, don't be rampant. If you have the ability, you can attack and attack the city. What kind of hero can you be if you are in the city?"
Despite being at a disadvantage, Wen Chou also hates Guan Yu very much, and he can't even describe it as hate, he just hates it.
After all, his good brother Yan Liang was killed by Guan Yu.
If it wasn't for them being at a disadvantage at this time, according to Wen Chou's temperament, he would have to go out of the city and fight Guan Yu for [-] rounds.
Guan Yu at the bottom of the city was called out by Wen Chou on the tower, but he didn't answer Wen Chou immediately.
Guan Yu was not in a hurry to attack the city.
Because they had an advantage at this time, Guan Yuzhi needed to encircle Tan County and cut off the food and grass in the city. Without the support of food and grass from other places, Tan County couldn't hold on for long, and within two months, he would take the initiative to leave the city. surrender.
Two months may be a long time for others, but for Guan Yu, he can afford to wait, and he knows that there are generals such as Wen Chou in this city, trapping these people is tantamount to breaking Yuan Shao's arm.
At this time, Guan Yu didn't know that Yuan Shao, the commander-in-chief of Yuan Jun, was also in this Tan county. If he knew that Yuan Shao was also here, Guan Yu would bring over even the 1 horses who stayed in Xiapi City and attack them by force. In this Tan County, as long as Yuan Shao is beheaded, the battle of Xuzhou can be settled.
The reason why Guan Yu was not in a hurry to attack the city was also because Guan Yu knew that Yuan Jun only sent 6 troops here in Xuzhou.
In the battle of Xiapi City, Yuan Jun suffered heavy losses, and now there are less than 2 soldiers and horses in Tan County.
If such a small number of people went out to fight in the city, they would not be Guan Yu's opponent at all.
So they will definitely stick to the city and wait for Guan Yu to take the initiative to attack.
And they couldn't wait for reinforcements in a short time. After all, there were no soldiers near Xuzhou. If they wanted reinforcements, they could only mobilize troops from Qingzhou at the earliest.
In this way, Guan Yu didn't have to worry, these men and horses would have reinforcements, they only needed to besiege Tan County, and when the people in the county couldn't take the initiative, they would go out of the city to fight them.
After Guan Yu was not in a hurry to attack Tan County, he just let his troops surround the whole Tan County.After waiting for two days without attacking, the two sides temporarily confronted each other in Tan County.
Guan Yu was not in a hurry.Naturally, Yuan Shao was not in a hurry, he was just waiting, waiting for Qingzhou's nephew Gao Gan to lead an army of 2 to come to support.
But they were not in a hurry, and Liu Zheng, who was waiting to act as the oriole, was extremely.
If the mantis and the cicada don't fight, he, the oriole, won't be able to make a move.
Two days later, after seeing that Guan Yu and Yuan Shao's men were still standing still, Liu Zheng couldn't stand his loneliness and was ready to make the first move.
It's not that he doesn't want to wait.It's that his soldiers and horses have already been dispatched, and he can still hide for a day or two, but it will inevitably be exposed after a long time.
Once Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Yuan Shao and others noticed his troops, it would be impossible for him to make a surprise attack and catch his opponent by surprise.
Therefore, Liu Zheng was a little anxious and didn't want to continue waiting here for Guan Yu and Yuan Shao to fight. If they didn't fight, then Liu Zheng would help them fight.
Guan Yu annexed Tan County and confronted Yuan Shao's men, but the city of Xiapi was empty, leaving only [-] remnants led by Sun Shao to guard.
At this time, Liu Zheng led Zang Ba's 1 horses, as well as his own [-] elite camp and [-] Jinyiwei.
If these men and horses want to attack Xiapi City, although they are a little overwhelmed, they may not be unable to succeed.
After thinking about it again, Liu Zheng sent someone to issue an order to Guan Hai, ordering him to lead 1 horses to cooperate with Zang Ba in attacking Xiapi.
At the same time, Zang Ba's 1 people were sent to besiege Xiapi City.
Then, Wenpin's men were ambushed on the way from Xuzhou to Xiapi to prevent Liu Bei from continuing to increase troops in Xuzhou to support Xiapi.
And Liu Zheng himself, at this time, led his own camp and the [-] army of Jin Yiwei to guard the road between Tan County and Xiapi City.
He wants to set up an ambush here to attack Guan Yu's army that is returning to aid.
Once something happens in Xiapi, it is impossible for Guan Yu not to return to help.
Chapter 817 Attacking Xiapi Again
Actions began soon after the plan was released.
Guan Hai and Zang Ba had stayed together for a long time, and they had developed a tacit understanding with each other. After Liu Zheng gave them the order to attack Xiapi City, the two of them moved towards Xiapi City at the same time. Of course, Zang Ba's position is closer to Xiapi City, so Zang Ba's troops arrived at Xiapi City first.
Before Guan Hai, he had already led his troops to go between Xiapi City and Xuzhou. It would take a while for Liu Zheng to convey the order to him, so it took Guan Hai's [-] troops to arrive in Xiapi City in Zangba for a day and a half. Afterwards, Guan Hai hurriedly brought people to Xiapi City.
However, even if it was a little late, the battle situation in Xiapi City did not drop.
The 1 horses led by Zang Ba had already surrounded the entire Xiapi City a day ago.
Although Zang Ba only had more than [-] troops, when he arrived at Xiapi City, he did not attract the attention of the defenders on the tower and Sun Shao. After all, there were tens of thousands of troops in Xiapi City at this time. That is to say, they are on par with these people in the city, and Sun Shao is occupying the city wall for defense, so naturally he will not be afraid.
However, Sun Shao is still very interested in the identities of people like Zang Ba.
When Zang Ba led his troops to Xiapi City and announced the siege of Xiapi City, Sun Shao in the city had already appeared on the tower of Xiapi City, and began to look gloomy, paying close attention to any movement under the city .
"Listen, defenders in the city, you are already surrounded by our army. If you don't want to die, you should leave the city and surrender now. Otherwise, when my army enters the city, you will have no way out."
Is Zang Ba the same as those who arrived in Xiapi City? As soon as he arrived in Xiapi City, he began to shout at the tower to show his aura.
Although such shouts are useless, the enemy soldiers will not be scared to surrender just because of a few shouts.
But this behavior is still necessary.
One is to show the momentum of the attacking troops to the defenders on the tower.
Secondly, it can also give a good blow to the morale of the defenders in the city and make them feel panicked. After all, this city has been attacked one after another, and these people will be a little tired of war after being busy these days.
Not to mention the guards in the city, even Sun Shao, the guard who has been staying in the city, was stunned when he saw people like Zang Ba and came to Xiapi City.
On the one hand, they don't know who Zang Ba and these people are, but they know that they are the enemy army, and they still wonder in their hearts that a group of Yuan Jun just left, could it be that another group of Yuan Jun has been killed?
On the other hand, these guys have encountered too many attacks these days, and now there are not enough defenders in the city. In addition, only Sun Shao is here alone, and Sun Shao is also a little hesitant. He doesn't know how to deal with these enemy troops. .
"Who are you?"
While Sun Shao was puzzled, what he wanted to know was actually who were the identities of this group of people who appeared outside Xiapi City?
Of course, Zang Ba didn't intend to hide it all the time. Since Sun Shao on the tower asked the question, he told them mercifully.
"Want to know who we are? Haha, it doesn't matter who we are. The important thing is that your city of Xiapi will soon change hands."
"Let me tell you the truth, we are the army under His Majesty Liu Zheng's command. If you are sensible, open the gate of the city immediately and let us in. Otherwise, when the main force of our army arrives, a mere Xiapi city will be ignored at all. .”
One word from Zang Ba yelled at the tower, and Sun Shao, who was still guessing Zang Ba's identity, immediately sank.
Especially when he heard Zang Ba say that Liu Zheng won the team, Sun Shao's face became even more ugly.
Originally, Xiapi City was Liu Bei's front line against Yuan Shao. With Liu Bei's current power, it seemed a little difficult to deal with Yuan Shao, but if Liu Zheng was added, he would have no ability.
Fighting Yuan Shao alone, Liu Bei has such strength, but with Liu Zheng, Liu Bei's strength can be seen to be a little stretched.
After Sun Shao heard Zang Ba's words, he didn't have any doubts. After confirming that these people under the city were Liu Zheng's men, even Sun Shao didn't bother to talk nonsense with these people under the city.
Because Sun Shao also knew that the hatred between Liu Zheng and Liu Bei could not be expressed clearly in a few words.
Since it is not clear, Sun Shao and his subordinate Zang Baduo said that it would only increase their troubles.
Zang Ba saw that he revealed his identity, and the people on the tower ignored him instead.
This time, Zang Ba felt a little angry, and immediately roared a few words towards the tower.
It's a pity that the people on the tower still ignored Zang Ba and didn't answer Zang Ba's question, just dealt with it coldly.
Zang Ba didn't intend to attack the city directly, but after seeing Sun Shao's attitude, he immediately ordered his troops to start building the equipment for the siege.
Liu Zheng's siege troops always have such things as see-through devices, because when Liu Zheng attacked Linyi, he had set up a catapult himself.
This kind of catapult is easy to make. You only need to carry the dismantled brackets in batches, and then assemble them directly when you need to use them. It is much lighter than those thunderbolts and catapults. The power is not much worse than those catapults called Thunderbolt Chariots.
So Zang Ba only needs to order people to assemble the catapults he brought over, and then he can use the catapults in a short time, and then send people to move some big stones nearby, or cut down some branches, and then he can make a light shot things.
In Zang Ba's slightly angry mood, Zang Ba directly ordered people to launch a projection at the tower of Xiapi City.
There was a swish of throwing, although there were not many catapults.
But the city tower was still bloodbathed by Zang Ba and his men.
Although there were no particularly heavy casualties, it had already put some pressure on Sun Shao on the tower.
Sun Shao was too frightened to stay on the city tower for too long, so he could only order people to close the city gate tightly so that he could wait for reinforcements here.
The news of Zang Ba's siege of Xiapi City did not intend to be kept secret. Even if he wanted to keep it a secret, this is Liu Bei's territory after all, and he would definitely not be able to hide it. The spies in Xuzhou quickly spread the news to Liu Bei in Xuzhou And in the hands of Guan Yu of Tan County.
The residence of Liu Bei in Xuzhou City.
Liu Bei has always been worried about the battle situation in Xiapi City, but after sending Zhao Yun to support Xiapi, Liu Bei is not so worried.
Chapter 818 The Frightened Liu Bei
He was discussing with Cheng Yu how to deal with Yuan Shao in the next battle.
Cheng Yu was also a celebrity recruited by Liu Bei in Yanzhou. Cheng Yu was originally a counselor under Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, but unfortunately Liu Dai died at the hands of Zhang Miao. As a counselor, Cheng Yu escaped and returned to the After Yanzhou, it happened that Liu Bei took over Yanzhou.
Cheng Yu's impression of Liu Bei was not bad. In addition, Liu Bei was short of talents at this time. After learning about Cheng Yu's ability, Liu Bei naturally regarded him as a guest of honor, and naturally treated Cheng Yu with courtesy. Moved by his appearance, he naturally joined Liu Bei's subordinate to assist Liu Bei.
After going back and forth, the relationship between the two became more and more intimate.
"My lord, General Zhao Yun sent back a message just now, saying that our army had repelled Yuan Jun in the battle of Xiapi City. Now that he has rested all night, General Guan Yu decided to go to Tan County to pursue Yuan Jun. According to what they said, I am afraid they will be in Tan County. Let's fight Yuan Jun again and completely defeat Yuan Jun."
