Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 485 Three Strong Men
Yuan Shang and Guo Tu thought they had broken Cao Cao's deployment, so they ordered to discard the excess food and grass, take only three days of rations, and go straight ahead with light clothes, intending to reach Yecheng before Cao's army occupied Yangping County and completely sealed off Wei County.

Passing through Guangping County, Yuan Shang got some supplements along the way, and also replaced many weak and wounded.

Afterwards, he led his army straight to Yecheng.Since Zhao Yun's cavalry had already left, Yuan Shang's army marched unimpeded all the way to the north of Weijun.

Five days later, Yuan Shang came ten miles north of Yecheng, preparing to surprise Cao Jun from behind at nightfall.

After nightfall, Yuan Shang ordered his soldiers to eat up the last bit of food he had left, rest for half an hour, and prepare for the next battle.

After everything was ready, Yuan Shang ordered Su You, Zhang Wei, and Li Fu to follow [-] soldiers to sneak towards Cao Jun's camp, which was uncertain in the light of the fire.Yuan Shang himself led the remaining [-] troops to suppress him, and also served as a support.

In ancient times, when besieging a city, it was impossible to surround the city wall with people at night. Usually, camps were set up about two miles away from the city.If you don't want the people in the city to come out, you will usually build various fortifications such as trenches and horse refusals, supplemented by soldiers watching the situation, which is enough for the army to deal with the enemy who wants to leave the city.In ancient times, the ancient Romans did even better. When they attacked the city, they often built a wall outside the enemy's city, let alone people, and even mice couldn't get out.
Cao Jun has been loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and he has never stopped spying on the outside.

When Yuan Shang's army was still about a mile away from the camp outside the city, a loud shout broke the tranquility of the night.
"who!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Seeing that their side had been exposed, the three leading generals decisively ordered: "Soldiers, charge with me!"

"kill!"

"kill!!"

"Eh?"

When the army of Su You, Zhang Wei, and Li Fu rushed into the camp, they found that the Cao Jun camp was empty!

"There is an ambush!!!"

"Not good! I've been tricked!" Li Fu was the first to react and shouted.

"Back, get out quickly!" Su You turned the horse's head and then shouted.

Just when Yuan Jun wanted to withdraw from Cao Jun's camp in a mess, countless torches suddenly lit up around the camp.

"Hahaha! Yuan Shang, your third grandfather has been waiting for you for many days!" Zhang Fei rode a black horse and held a zhangba snake spear, blocking the retreat of Yuan Shang and others.At the same time, countless archers and crossbowmen in the camp emerged from the corners, shooting at Yuan Jun indiscriminately.

Zhang Wei's mind was still calm, and he immediately shouted to the soldiers around him: "Don't be afraid, the lord is outside, rush out with me!"

After Yuan Shang mentioned the suppression of the first army, he wanted to guard against Cao Jun's ambush.

At this moment, seeing that Cao Jun really had an ambush, he ordered to rush to the camp and rescued Su You and others' army.

Zhang Fei knew that he was invincible, so he got out of the way after coping with it for a while.

"Rush to the west!" After picking up the ambushed soldiers, Yuan Shang commanded the army to turn around and head west.

After walking for several miles, an army suddenly stood in front of them.

I saw the visitor holding the Green Dragon Saber in his right hand, and a three-foot-long beard in his left hand, and a stunning horse under his crotch.
"Guan Yu is here, and the little boy of the Yuan family still kneels and begs for surrender?"

After discussing with Cao Cao and others, they agreed that the north was the direction most likely to be attacked by Yuan Shang, so they placed the three most capable soldiers in the current army on the north of Yecheng.

"There are also enemy troops here, retreat, retreat quickly!"

Yuan Shang was obviously in a panic and didn't dare to attack Guan Yu's position at all.

Turning around again, Yuan Shang tried to go back to the north gate of Yecheng towards the east.

When they ran another three to five miles, unexpectedly another person rode a Dawan horse and led a group of soldiers to rush out and stop them in the middle of the road, "Yuan Shang! Huang has been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Guan Yu! Zhang Fei! Huang Zhong!"

Yuan Shang secretly groaned in his heart, dodged one Zhao Zilong, but couldn't dodge the other three fierce generals under Lu Yan's command!

Just when Yuan Shang was at a loss, Li Fu came to Yuan Shang's side and suggested: "My lord, don't panic, the enemy's scattered numbers are definitely not many. Our top priority is to find a direction and charge out with all our strength!"

Yuan Shang had run out of ideas, he could only ask instinctively: "Where should we charge?"

"Go south!" Li Fu gritted his teeth and said, "Once Supervisor Shen finds out about the battle under the city, he will definitely send troops out to escort him!"

"But."

"We have an army of [-]. It is impossible for Cao Jun to stop us in a hurry. As long as we join Shen Jian's army before Cao Jun from the rest of the city gates comes to support us, we can successfully break into the city!"

"Okay! Just follow what the general said!" Yuan Shang finally made up his mind and led the army to the city gate.

In fact, Cao Jun at the North Gate only had more than 2 soldiers, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were divided into three groups. They alone had an average of only about [-] soldiers.

Before Guan Yu and Huang Zhong had time to support, Zhang Fei could only face Yuan Shang's [-] army alone!

"Come on! Let's have a good fight!!!" Seeing that the enemy army was finally rushing towards his defense line, Zhang Fei's voice sounded like thunder on dry land in the dark night.

"Kill!" Although Yuan Jun was startled by Zhang Fei's voice, he still charged at Zhang Fei and the army behind him!

The soldiers standing guard on the city wall of Ye City immediately noticed the commotion outside the city.

They saw Yuan Jun and Cao Jun fighting together, and they could even see Yuan Shang in bright armor, so they quickly reported the situation outside the city to the judge.

At this time, the judge was still reviewing the official documents. After receiving the news, he immediately mobilized all the soldiers in the city that could be taken away, opened the city gate immediately, and prepared to go out of the city to meet the reinforcements!
"My lord! The judges are here!!" The gates of Yecheng opened wide, and the leaders of the judges came out to help with torches held high!
After leaving the city, the Shenpei army waded through the trench, jumped over the Juma, and then attacked Cao Jun from behind Zhang Fei.

Faced with the enemy attack behind him, Zhang Fei did not panic, but shouted loudly: "Try to stop Yuan Shang, don't worry about what is behind, there will be brothers to deal with them!"

This is Zhang Fei's absolute trust in Guan Yu and Huang Zhong.

Sure enough, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong led the troops to arrive when the trial and distribution army was still a hundred steps away from Zhang Fei's position.

Regarding Yuan Shang's army and the defenders of Yecheng, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong were undoubtedly more inclined to kill and wound the defenders of Yecheng.

They each sent [-] soldiers to Zhang Fei's formation, and then led their respective teams, one from the left and the other from the right, rushed towards the army of the judge!
"Kill me! Kill me through Cao Jun!" Yuan Shang's eyes were red from the killing, and there were no more than [-] steps ahead of the trial army, but these [-] steps seemed to be a gap that could never be crossed!

The Zhangba Snake Spear in Zhang Fei's hand flew up, and Yuan Jun around him would be injured if he touched it, and he would die if he touched it.

But Yuan Jun is more than twice as many as Cao Jun, and they still have the numerical advantage.

Seeing his own line constantly moving back, Zhang Fei raised his head in desperation, and saw Yuan Shao flashing like a revolving lantern under the light of the fire.

Gritting his steel teeth, Zhang Fei picked up the lieutenant general and said, "You command the army, and I'll take Yuan Shang's head!"

After finishing speaking, regardless of the lieutenant general's shout, Zhang Fei held the Zhangba Snake Spear, urged the black horse under his crotch, and charged in the direction of Yuan Shang!
