I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 251, Zhang He's Support
This time, if the Tengjia Army had not had a large number of spies in Youzhou, who used the method of flying pigeons to pass on the news of Huangfusong's arrival to him, he might even be raided by Huangfusong.

This is a bit like Sima Yi's capture of Meng Da. Meng Da thought it would take two months for Sima Yi to come to Xicheng, so he didn't take precautions against Sima Yi's army, but he didn't expect Sima Yi to send out the army directly before reporting to the Luoyang City court. , and even at full speed, he marched 2 miles in 12 days and led a large army to attack the west city, catching Meng Da by surprise and killing him!
But now Wang Yong is better than Meng Da. He already knows that Huangfu Song's army is approaching Yuyang City, and he won't be caught off guard by Huangfu Song. Coming so fast, he didn't have to die like Meng Da, but this time made it a lot of trouble for him to conquer Yuyang!

Moreover, Captain Wan Lang and Song Yi, after knowing that Huangfusong's army was coming to Yuyang, began to dissuade Wang Yong and save their strength. When the reinforcements were the main force, they were also worried that they would storm Yuyang and be raided by Huangfusong. Don't say anything at that time If you are meritorious, you might be punished!

However, Wang Yong wanted to continue fighting. In his opinion, Yuyang City could not hold out for a few days. If they could conquer Yuyang before Huangfusong arrived, the battle to attack Youzhou would be opened, and the subsequent war would be over. Much easier to fight!Otherwise, even if their Rattan Armored Army could dispatch hundreds of thousands of troops, they would be blocked from the Yanshan defense line, and it would be difficult for them to take advantage of the Rattan Armored Army's cavalry!

Then Wang Yong continued to attack Yuyang with his army for three days, but because he had to take into account the upcoming Huangfusong army, he did not dare to attack with all his strength like the previous two days, and the offensive was a bit procrastinated.Moreover, Wan Lang and Song Yi saw that they did not succeed in persuading Wang Yong, but they themselves slowed down the frequency of attacking Yuyang City, mainly to preserve the strength of the army, and mostly used crossbow arrows to kill the defenders, and the frequency of attacking the city wall was greatly reduced. It's just that it will be even more difficult to conquer Yuyang City in this way!

"Song Yi, how about Wan Lang's attack?" Wang Yong saw that there were more and more Yuyang defenders on his wall. He suspected that the Yuyang defenders had transferred soldiers from other directions to his wall, so he asked His own messenger said.

The messenger said: "Although Captain Wan Lang and Captain Song Yi fought very fiercely, they were not as fierce as you, General!"

Wang Yong said angrily: "These two people actually played me the trick of repairing the plank road and hiding the old warehouse! They are delaying the war opportunity, and they are wasting the lives of more than 3000 brothers. When I look back and take Yuyang City, I must report to him!" How handsome they are!"

Wang Yong's personal guard Sima Zhou Jun said: "General Yuyang City is well-defended, and Liu Yu is even more popular. Last time we almost captured Yuyang City, but tens of thousands of civilians supported Liu Yu with swords, which drove us away. down the wall."

"So my subordinates feel that what we are facing is not the 3 Youzhou army, but also the hundreds of thousands of people in Yuyang City. Even though our [-] army has the advantage of weapons and equipment, we are facing more than a dozen people who support Liu Yu. Thousands of people, we do not have an advantage in terms of military strength!"

Even Wang Yong is convinced by this point. Liu Yu is indeed a clear stream among the Han officials, relying on a barren land of Youzhou, which has resettled millions of refugees over the years. He is also frugal and frugal, wearing shabby clothes, Not eating more than one meat dish for a meal, it can be said that it perfectly fits the image of Mr. Sunshine in the minds of the people!That's why he is so popular. With such an official in Yuyang, the people of Yuyang will naturally support the big man's army!
Zhou Jun continued: "Furthermore, Tian Kai and Yan Gang, the defenders of Yuyang City, are veterans who have experienced many battles. They have fought against the Karasuma people and Xianbei people for more than ten years, and they have won and lost each other. We are richer than us! And Huangfusong is a famous general who has fought in hundreds of battles. He is now coming with a force of 5 troops, and his subordinates feel that the general should stop as soon as he is ready, and wait for the reinforcements to arrive before thinking of a way to attack Yuyang County!"

The generals of the Tengjia Army were basically trained by Xu Wei. Although they had different personalities, under the influence of Xu Wei, they counted defeat before winning, which became the military code of most of the generals of the Tengjia Army.

Most of them are conservative generals who prefer not to win big or to lose big. They like to fight hard and fight dull battles. They are good at crushing opponents with the strong strength of the Rattan Armor Army. This is what Xu Wei hopes they can do. Yes, Xu Wei is no longer looking forward to their online, otherwise Xu Wei would know their names, but since Xu Wei doesn't know their names, they are obviously cannon fodder in troubled times, Xu Wei only asks them to go offline to exceed A general of a big man!

Wang Yong saw that his confidants did not agree to continue to attack Yuyang. Wang Yong could only slow down the intensity of the attack on Yuyang, but the power threatened the Yuyang defenders, making it difficult for them to repair. At the same time, Wang Yong still had a little hope in Yuyang defenders. The army showed its flaws and he conquered the city, so Wang Yong still commanded the army to surround Yuyang City on three sides, and at the same time kept asking for support in the direction of Mayi!Obviously, with the arrival of the army led by Huangfusong, his 3 army has been unable to cope with the current situation!

And in Hunu County, which is less than a hundred miles away from Yuyang City, Zhang He led 3000 cavalry to march all the way to come here. At this time, Hunu County has a lot of troops, about 3000 people, but they all stop!

When Zhang He saw them, he said angrily, "Youzhou Mu is besieged in Yuyang City, but you are hiding here and watching, are you still officials of the big man?"

Lieutenant Zou Dan of Guangyang County is the most senior officer here. He smiled wryly and said, "We are too few in number. The governor is worried about Guangyang County comforting him. Most of the soldiers in Guangyang County are left by him in the city. I just want to Bring 1000 soldiers.

Under the rule of Yuyang, Lucheng and Yongnu each brought 200 people under the leadership of the county captain, and then Pinggu, Anle and other places also sent hundreds of people to support them one after another. All of us added up to 3000 people, and There are 3 people in the Rattan Armor Army, and we dare not take these troops to hit the rocks with eggs, so we gathered in Hunu County, hoping to support Yuyang City together after there are more reinforcements in other places! "

Zhang He said unhappily: "I'm afraid that Yuyang City will be attacked by the rattan armor army when you support me!"

No wonder Zhang Xi was annoyed, he, a Jizhou army, traveled thousands of miles all the way to rescue Liu Yu, but he didn't expect that the Youzhou army who was close at hand was overtaken by him, a Jizhou army thousands of miles away!These Youzhou soldiers are not ashamed either!
Zou Dan said with a wry smile: "Everyone knows Lei Gong's notoriety among the big men. Everyone knows that Lei Gong has always been invincible when he sent troops. The Minister of State felt that even if Gongsun Zan, the number one general in Youzhou, had been defeated, it would be even more impossible for the state shepherd to be the opponent of the Tengjia army. The prime ministers of the country began to concentrate their forces to protect the cities under their own rule."

This idea is dead, even Zhang He doesn't know what to say, don't they know that Yuyang City is the gateway of Youzhou, Yuyang City has been conquered, what's the use of them defending a city that is safe to defend? When Lei Gong's army comes over, with their strength, they will be attacked by Lei Gong and hanged to death by Lei Gong!

He has also heard of Liu Yu's name. It is said that Youzhou is governed very well. Apart from other things, the food price in Youzhou is actually lower than that in Jizhou. Zhang He admires Liu Yu very much based on this point.

But now it seems that Liu Yu is only suitable for governing the interior, and he is much worse than his own general in military affairs, and he can't persuade his subordinates.
Zhang Yun looked at these people with a cold face and said: "Now I have the final say here, whether you accept it or not!"

Zou Dan was the first to salute and said, "We are willing to obey the commander's command!"

Originally, Zhang He, the school lieutenant, had the largest official position and the most troops, and Zhang He had the strongest fighting spirit. These captains and county lieutenants have long wanted such a thigh to hug, so no one is not convinced by Zhang He. command!

Zhang He said solemnly: "Facing Yuyang, the whole army sets off!"

Youzhou Army and Jizhou County joined forces, and these 6000 soldiers marched to Yuyang under the leadership of Zhang Yun!

When approaching Yuyang, Zhang Yun sent a large number of scouts to investigate the situation around Yuyang City!
Then Zhang He summoned all the officers in the army and said: "The current situation is not bad. The Tanma just came to report, and the flag of our big man is still planted in Yuyang City, which means that the Tengjia Army has not broken through Yuyang yet! "

Zou Dan and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, this is the best news for them!
Zhang He continued: "But now the Tengjia Army is still surrounding Yuyang City on three sides, and the crisis in Yuyang City has not yet come into contact. I plan to surprise them before the Tengjia Army has discovered our army, and try to defeat the Tengjia Army." The troops will lay the foundation for victory in the follow-up battle!"

But Zou Dan persuaded: "Lieutenant Zhang, the Tengjia Army did not surround Yuyang City, so we can directly enter Yuyang City. Yuyang already has 1 defenders, and with our 6000 troops, there will be With 1.6 people, the Tengjia Army is only twice as large as ours at most, it is impossible for them to break through the city with such a force!"

But Zhang Xi said: "My men are all cavalry, and they can exert their greatest power on the plains. Entering the city will waste most of their combat effectiveness. Although the Tengjia Army has 3 troops, they did not bring them this time. The cavalry is coming, this is our good opportunity, they cannot resist the attack of our cavalry on the plain!"

Zou Dan thought for a while and said, "But they have 3 men. Even if the siege consumes some soldiers, there should still be 7000-8000 men in one army, and we have a mixture of cavalry and infantry. The other two armored armies surround us, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape!"

Zhang He said angrily: "I, a Jizhou native, is not afraid of death to save your state shepherd, but you are here to push back and forth. Do you still want to save people! What's the use of us rushing into Yuyang? Yuyang City is still under the control of the Tengjia Army In the midst of the siege, the only way to defeat a part of the Tengjia Army is to prevent them from continuing to besiege Yuyang!"

Zou Dan naturally didn't have much to say after Zhang He said that!I can only nod and agree, if word gets out today, they won't even be able to be an official!

Zhang He continued: "We raided the enemy in the west, and the time for the raid was set at Banwan. When they were exhausted from attacking the city, I led the cavalry to charge on the front line and completely smashed the Tengjia army. Follow me to encircle and suppress the Tengjia army. The remnants of the army, we defeated the Tengjia army at the west gate and entered Yuyang from the west gate!"

Everyone else nodded in approval of Zhang Yun's battle plan!
So 6000 of them hid in the valley not far from Yuyang City!

Waiting for the evening time, Zhang Yun led 4000 cavalry straight to the Tengjia army at the west gate of Yuyang!

The captain of the west gate of the Tengjia Army is Wan Lang. He planned to lead the army back to the camp, but he saw smoke billowing towards them from the south!

Hearing the sound of galloping horseshoes, he knew that this was the cavalry of the big man, and there were a lot of them, because the reinforcements from their rattan armor army could only come from the north!

Wan Lang shouted: "The whole army is assembled in a diamond shape. The swords and shields are outside, the crossbowmen are inside, and the catapults in the center are ready to attack. Put the ladders and rushing carts at the front of the formation, and immediately go to Wang Yong and Song. Call for help!"

Following Wan Lang's order, the soldiers of the Tengjia Army continued to carry the ladders, and the ladders intersected with each other to form a simple triangular Juma. At the same time, the soldiers kept approaching each other, and soon a giant diamond formation appeared under Yuyang City!
And the defenders in Yuyang City kept cheering, and they also discovered that the reinforcements had arrived!This means that the siege of Yuyang is about to be lifted, and they have finally survived. How can this not make these soldiers who escaped from death excited!
Liu Yudu asked Xian Yufu excitedly: "Should we send soldiers to support them, so that we can attack the Tengjia army from both sides, maybe we can completely wipe out the enemies in the west!"

But Xian Yufu thought for a while and said: "The Tengjia Army is powerful. The battles these days have exhausted our army, and the Tengjia Army has two other armies from other directions. It may not be a good thing for us to attack rashly. Yuyang City is now the most important line of defense in Youzhou, we can't take this risk, from the point of view of our subordinates, we should meet the support army at the gate of the city."

Xian Yufu shook his head and said, "The combat power of the Rattan Armored Army is beyond imagination. We don't take much advantage by relying on the city walls, and even though our reinforcements are cavalry, I'm afraid they can't take much advantage of the Rattan Armored Army!"

From Xian Yufu's point of view, the reinforcements should go directly into Yuyang City to strengthen Yuyang's defense. This is the best choice!

Liu Yu thought for a while and stopped talking about the attack. He had seen the fighting power of the Rattan Armor Army these days. Even if they attacked the city, they still suffered a lot of casualties. Such a strong fighting power was simply unprecedented!

But Liu Yu worried again: "The Tengjia Army is so powerful, nothing will happen to them!"

Xian Yufu said: "Most of this army is cavalry, even if they are difficult to defeat the Tengjia army, there is no problem in escaping, as long as Minggong is here to watch!"
