The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 500 The Battle of Lu County
Bohai County, Nanpi.

The confrontation between Zhao Yun and Yan Liang had lasted for a month. Although Yuan Shao sent Gao Lan to lead his troops to reinforce them, and Cao Cao also sent Cao Hong and Cheng Yu, the confrontation between the two sides remained unchanged.

When Gao Lan and Cao Hong first arrived, they also thought about joining forces with Yan Liang to attack a wave of Nanpi in order to test Zhao Yun's defensive strength.

It's a pity that the result was not good. Zhao Yun did not choose to go out to fight in the field when his troops were not superior. Although Zhang Fei and Guo Jia's voices were loud, the two sides finally fought a siege battle.

This battle lasted for four or five days, and finally ended with the loss of soldiers and generals of the Cao Yuan Alliance.

Although the loss was not large, the generals of the Cao Yuan Alliance could not see the hope of capturing the city, so they could only return to Lecheng with a sigh and continue to confront Zhao Yun.

Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were somewhat dissatisfied with this, they could only accept it. After all, the situation did not continue to deteriorate.

On the tower of Nanpi City, Zhao Yun stood solemnly in silver armor, looking into the distance.

Although the enemy had not attacked for more than half a month, Zhao Yun did not relax his vigilance at all. He insisted on wearing armor and patrolling the city defense every day, and refused to use his hands on others.

"Before the expedition, the supervisor had said that the battle would be limited to two months, but now almost two months have passed, and the battle is still at a stalemate, which is a bit embarrassing. I don't know how to arrange the follow-up..."

Zhao Yun whispered to himself, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Although this expedition has achieved fruitful results, the timeline has obviously been lengthened a lot.With his [-] troops in the Bohai Sea, he can only communicate with Xuzhou by letters every time, which is no less than being isolated, which makes Zhao Yun a little worried.

And if they withdraw now, the results of the battle will be ruined at once, which also makes Zhao Yun more concerned about the direction of the follow-up battle.

However, he also understands that there will definitely be follow-up arrangements for Lin Chao, and the best choice right now is to wait for Liu Bei's military order.

Compared with Zhao Yun's prudence, Guo Jia and Zhang Fei lived comfortably these days.After Zhao Yun rejected the initiative to attack the request, Guo Jia concluded that there would be no more wars in the next month.

So, he opened it directly.

Although the young ladies in Nanpi County were beautiful and handsome, it was still a time of war, and because of Zhao Yun's military order, Guo Jia didn't dare to go out and hook up, so he could only drink for fun.

Zhang Fei was even more of a drunkard, the two hit it off immediately and drank like mud all day long.

After drinking for a few days, Guo Jia suddenly felt that the two of them were not enjoying drinking, so he dragged Zhang Liao, Zhang Yun, Shen Pei and others together.

Although the judge is upright, he is not stupid. He knows that he will probably work under Liu Bei in the future, so naturally he will not refuse Guo Jia's kindness.He came to the banquet with the mentality of dealing with errands, but after drinking a few times, he began to like Guo Jia and Zhang Fei from the bottom of his heart.

Although Guo Fengxiao was unrestrained and unruly, he was frank and sincere.Although Zhang Yide was extremely vulgar, he was able to show respect to himself.

I don't know how much stronger these two people are than Jia Wen and those people who are greedy for life and fear of death!

That's right, my judge Zhengnan just looks down on you, Jia Wenhe, and I will look down on you all my life!

Naturally, Jia Xu doesn't have the same knowledge as him, but every time they meet, it is inevitable to bring up the matter of being hacked by Wen Chou, and by the way, he is concerned about how his injury is now.

Then the judge picked up his own crossbow, and when Jia Xu saw this, he resolutely fell silent.

Just when everyone was getting along very harmoniously, a military order came from Tan County.

After Zhao Yun read the content inside, he was immediately puzzled, and hurriedly called everyone to discuss together.

This military order is very concise and clear - divide the troops and attack!

Seeing the two completely different orders, everyone scratched their heads and were a little puzzled.

If you can attack, then gather enough strength to fight there. No matter what you can fight, there is no reason to divide your troops to attack!

Dividing troops is also fine, either detour or retreat, generally only in this case will divide troops.

Rao Zhao Yun and others are veterans in the battlefield, and they have never heard of this kind of gameplay.

At this time, Zhao Yun's lone army went deep into the enemy's rear, and there were not many troops in his hands. If he divided his troops again, he might not be surrounded and wiped out by the enemy, so Zhao Yun even thought that the military order was transmitted incorrectly.

"Jia Xian... Gentlemen, what should I do with this military order?"

After the content of the military order was announced to everyone, Zhao Yun originally wanted to ask Jia Xu for his opinion, but now everyone in the room is full of talents, so he had to change his words hastily.

"This military order is somewhat interesting." Guo Jia said first, "For such a big move, the lord should call everyone to discuss it, and to make such a decision in the end, it must be Lin Zichu playing some tricks."

"This order came from Zichu's hand, there is no doubt about it." Ju Shou next to him said, his eyes full of doubts. "It's just why Zichu did this. Cao Yuan has already formed an alliance and is planning to unite all the princes to attack Xuzhou. According to common sense, we should retreat to Mount Tai and defend the city at this time. After all, the princes are numerous and powerful. But... ..."

Everyone knew what Jushou hadn't finished speaking—but at this time, Lin Chao gave an order that ran counter to it.

Unlike everyone who was thinking hard, Zhang Fei expressed his opinion straightforwardly.

"Zichu must have a plan, what he says, we just do it." Zhang Fei laughed, "In my old Zhang's opinion, if gentlemen can't figure it out, then don't think about it, there will always be a battle. The last time Yan Liang got away by chance, this time he won't have such good luck, he must poke a few transparent holes in him!"

Zhang Fei's words were really contagious, and he managed to make everyone laugh.

Ignorance has always been a kind of convincing, because there is no need to work hard.

Zhao Yun took advantage of Zhang Fei's laughter and asked Jia Xu, "Mr. Jia, what do you think?"

Jia Xu looked at the people around him, then said with a smile: "As the commander of an army, General Zhao should make his own decision, so why bother to ask someone."

Zhao Yun was not surprised by Jia Xu's cautiousness, so he had to turn his attention to Xun You, who had not spoken all this time.

Compared with Jia Xu's slickness, Xun You was much more honest, and immediately replied: "General Zhao, if you have any doubts, you can directly send a letter to the state government to inquire whether it is true or not, but right now we still have to divide the troops. Zichu's letter has made it very clear , this division of troops to attack is to provide opportunities for the Taishan side. Therefore, not only must the division of troops be divided, but also the offensive must be strong enough to make the defenders in Lecheng think that reinforcements are coming from our side, forcing them to defend the city and even attack the city. Cao Yuan asked for reinforcements."

"Yes, it is risky to split up the attack, but right now we are going to fight Cao Yuan head-on." Guo Jia said, "This battle, Taishan County is the main battlefield. Let's share more of the enemy's strength. The winning rate can be much higher.”

"Second!"

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Ju Shou continued to speak.

For a while, everyone in the room also handed over their hands and seconded.

Hearing this, Zhao Yun no longer hesitated, but said loudly: "Okay, then divide the troops!"

……

Taishan County, South Wuyang County.

When Jian Yong arrived with food and grass, Lin Xi had already summoned 1 troops under his command. As soon as the military order arrived, he led the army across Mount Tai and approached Lu County.

Once Lu County is captured, the soldiers will direct their attack to Dongping County, where Cao Cao's lair is!

Lin Xi was naturally aware of the importance of the first battle, so he sent 500 of his personal soldiers ahead of time to sneak into Lu County.

Right now, the two armies have not formally fought, and the city defense system of Lu County has not yet been established. This group of [-] soldiers from the school office soon sneaked into the city, and only waited for Lin Xi's order to seize the city defense as internal agents.

Just like what Yangqi did to Nanwuyang City back then, Lin Xi is also planning to make a move to Lu County.

In the second year of Chuping, May [-]th.

Lin Xi ordered Zhang Xiu and Huang Zhong to lead [-] infantry as the vanguard, while he, Xu Huang and others led [-] troops to the rear to raid Lu County at night.

It was a surprise attack, so it went smoothly.

Zhang Xiu is well versed in the essence of blitzkrieg. Although he has lost his way successfully, Huang Zhong is much more stable.When the two arrived at the gate of Lu County, Dang even launched an attack.

The defenders in the city were unprepared and were almost captured on the spot.

However, Zhang Xiu and Huang Zhong only had 2000 men, while the defenders in the city had 3000 men. After the initial period of panic, they began to defend in an orderly manner. With the forces in Huang Zhong and Zhang Xiu's hands, they naturally captured the city.

But at this moment, the dark things Lin Xi arranged in the city before played a key role.

After [-] personal soldiers assembled in the city, they rushed towards the gate of the city at an extremely fast speed.

Although there were more soldiers defending the city in Lu County than in Nanwuyang, they were still torn open by these 500 people and had a chance to open the city gate.

Seeing the city gate slowly opening, Zhang Xiu's face was filled with excitement, and he shouted, "Come on, get in from the city gate!"

He understood the meaning behind the opening of the city gate, and how many lives those five hundred soldiers paid for it!
The fighter opportunity is fleeting, if you can't seize it, there will be no next time.

At that moment, Zhang Xiu and Huang Zhong took the lead and rushed into the city on horseback, clearing the way for the army behind them.

Soon after, Lin Xi's army arrived.

Seeing that the city gate was wide open and Huang Zhong and Zhang Xiu had led their troops to fight the enemy to death in the city, Lin Xi immediately ordered Xu Huang to bring 5000 people into the city to support him, while he left 3000 people outside to support him.

In the face of an attack, even if the combat power is far inferior to the enemy army, as long as the city is defended, it is common for a fortified city to be unable to take it down for a few months.

But once the enemy troops entered the city, the siege battle was over, and there was no longer any suspense about the outcome.

Just like Lu County right now, when the two sides fought until dawn, the Xuzhou army in the city had completely controlled the city defenses, most of the enemy troops surrendered, and all the stubborn ones were beheaded.

When Lin Xi's army entered the city, the battle was completely over.

In this campaign, Lin Xi lost a thousand men, wiped out 500 defenders in Lu County, and incorporated [-] soldiers.
