Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 185
In Beihai Prefect's Mansion, Zhang Rang was sitting where Zhang De usually took.At this time, a man in black came in, knelt down and said, "My lord, Wujian killed more than 200 local generals today, including a lieutenant general!" Zhang Rang nodded and signaled the man to go down.

"Wu Jian" is the spy organization established by Zhang De and managed by Zhang Rang.According to the experience of later generations, "Wu Jian" not only bears the heavy responsibility of detecting intelligence, but also learns to assassinate.A good spy can take years to train, but an assassin trains much faster.

However, an assassin needs to see some real blood to become a real assassin, so this time Zhang Rang sent out the assassins in "Infernal Affairs" to snipe and kill soldiers in Changxi's army.These assassins are equipped with high-precision crossbow arrows, and all of them can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps.

At the beginning, the assassins were actually assassinating soldiers, but later they discovered that shooting a small school was far more meritorious than killing a soldier, so the assassins involuntarily learned how to identify those with relatively high official positions, so when they arrived Now, these assassins have become "general killers"!
Facing Beihai City, Chang Xi felt that his chances of a strong attack were still very slim. Many generals under Chang Xi did not dare to take the lead in attacking the city anymore. Chang Xi felt very helpless, so Chang Xi decided to repeat the old trick and use the method of attacking Linzi To attack Beihai, Chang Xi began to order people to dig tunnels.

……

Zhang De galloped on the land of Qingzhou with a battalion of three thousand warriors.The Wuqi Battalion has now removed their armor, and did not carry the heavy mace. Each of the Wuqi Battalion carried nothing but three days of dry food, a saber, a short crossbow, and three arrows .A group of people rushed to Beihai day and night.

The Wuqi Battalion has not been dispatched during the siege for the past few days. After all, the cavalry is useless in the siege, so all the Wuqi Battalion who came with the army this time are recharging their energy in the battalion.This time back to aid Beihai, Zhang De's army marched slowly. Zhang De was worried that time would be too late, so he had to lead the Wuqi Battalion to lightly pack and rush back to Beihai in the starry night, while the army was handed over to Commander Huang Zhong.

When Zhang De heard that there were nearly 3000 troops in Changxi's hands this time, and Linzi had already been captured, he immediately realized that even if the [-] troops in his hands rushed to Beihai, the effect would not be so obvious.Moreover, Beihai City is Zhang De's old nest, and there are plenty of food, supplies, and defense equipment. Zhang De has been operating in Beihai for many years, and the people in Beihai City have the aspirations of the people, so Zhang De has sufficient confidence in Beihai.

Zhang De's advantage is the cavalry, although there are not many, but they are very mobile.So Zhang De chose to make full use of the mobility of the cavalry to harass Changxi's grain transportation.The food in Linzi city had been burned clean, and the food in Changxi had to be transported from Jinan. The supply line was very long, which gave Zhang De many opportunities.

Chang Xi is not a reckless person. Chang Xi also knows that his grain transportation route is too long and the pressure is very high, so he has long adopted the method of transporting more troops and transporting more food and grass each time, and each time he dispatches Lots of escorts.As for the escorting soldiers, Chang Xi didn't have to worry. Chang Xi, who was originally a bandit, was very good at pulling strong men.

The military commander escorted this time was named Yan Zheng, who was originally a remnant of gold. Wanted and desperate, Yan Zheng had no choice but to take refuge in Chang Xi.

Escorting food and grass is the most important thing for Chang Xi. After all, Chang Xi's army is a mob. If such a team wins all the time, it is terrible, but if it encounters some setbacks, such as lack of food and grass, it will inevitably lose people's hearts and may collapse.Therefore, Chang Xi decided to send Yan Zheng, a general with rich combat experience, as the escort officer.

On an official road in Linzi, Yan Zheng is leading more than 5000 people to escort a large amount of grain and grass to Beihai.When Yan Zheng left Jinan, Jinan had not yet been captured by Zang Ba, and the 5000 men were the strong men captured by Yan Zheng and those who had recently defected to Changxi.Most of these young men who were captured were from Qingzhou. Most of them came from Yanzhou and Yuzhou. After all, there are wars in Yanzhou and Yuzhou now, and many refugees have flowed into Qingzhou, which is relatively peaceful.

A refugee has very low requirements, as long as he can give him a full meal and a way to survive.In order to win people's hearts, Chang Xi is not stingy with money and food.What's more, these people were not from Qingzhou in the first place, had never received Zhang De's favor, and were not so superstitious towards Zhang De, so they were relatively easier to control.

Now that Linzi has become his territory, and now there are 5000 people under his command, there shouldn't be any young people on the road who are so short-sighted and looking for trouble.

At this moment, the people in front stopped suddenly.Yan Zheng immediately sent someone to check it out, and after a while he reported back that the road ahead was blocked by a big tree, making it impossible for vehicles to pass.

"Isn't it just a tree! Just move it away!" Yan Zheng roared.But at this moment, someone shouted from both sides of the road, followed by the sound of "swish" bows and arrows, Yan Zheng hurriedly looked around, and saw that dozens of people had fallen into a pool of blood.

"Enemy attack!" Yan Zheng yelled and fell off his horse, hiding behind a grain truck beside him, while the surrounding soldiers were in a mess.

Yan Zheng glanced around, thinking that these refugees are not good enough without training, and they are much worse than the original Yellow Turban soldiers.But at this time, Yan Zheng didn't have much time to complain, Yan Zheng looked at the men who fell on the ground, and immediately recognized that there were not many enemies, so Yan Zheng swung his spear and shouted: "There are not many enemies, rush over! Get rid of them!"

Hearing the commander's call, the soldiers rushed forward, but found nothing except a few messy footprints.

Damn it, the enemy is gone!It seems that the number of enemies is not very large, at most dozens of people.Could it be an ordinary bandit, but why would the bandit attack his own army? If it wasn't a bandit, then it must be Zhang Dejun, but if it was Zhang Dejun, how could there be such a small number of people?Yan Zheng's mind was full of doubts.

In the distance, Zhang De is resting with 3000 people.After several days of rushing, Zhang De's soldiers were exhausted, so not only people needed rest, but horses also needed rest.However, Zhang De still sent Zhou Cang and dozens of people to investigate the situation of the enemy.

"Zhou Cang, have you seen clearly, there are more than 5000 enemies?" Zhang De asked.

Zhou Cang nodded his head: "There is nothing wrong with that. The general who leads the army is called Yan Zheng. He used to be the Yamen General under General Rengong. This man is quite talented and not very easy to deal with!"

Zhang De frowned.Zhou Cang's brain is stuck, since he said it was 5000 people, there is nothing wrong with it, and Zhou Cang used to be Zhang Bao's bodyguard, so the information about Yan Zheng can't be wrong.The current situation is very bad for Zhang De. The first is that there are as many as [-] grain transporters. Of course, Zhang De can use the advantage of cavalry to eat up the enemy regardless of the cost. However, the martial arts battalion is Zhang De's elite men. Moreover, Zhang De didn't have many cavalry, if they all hit here, Zhang De couldn't afford to lose.

Another problem is that the enemy's general is Yan Zheng, a general with experience in leading troops.
