Chapter 488 ?? Yuan Shao's performance changes his face(1/2)
The strategists heard it.
Yuan Shao wants to eat Taishi Ci. Is it worth mentioning? It must be supported.
And Yuan Shao was right.
If there are other troops, attack the northern camp from the north, east, and west.
Then it can only be the soldiers outside the city. Perhaps it was the Liang army in the south who came to take a detour, or there were rebels somewhere in Hebei.
When Taishici sent troops to attack the northern camp from the south, it could only be Taishici's soldiers and horses. How many Taishici had?
Moreover, Taishici actually defeated a small camp. Xiaosheng did not leave for a while and confronted their army. Isn’t this just a sheep entering the tiger’s mouth?
"What the lord is talking about is Taishi Ci, you can capture it in one battle."
"What the lord said is very good. Taishi is a reckless man. If he kills him, he can seize Huaicheng. Once Huaicheng is lost, Pinglu will be difficult to protect Anyi. The lord occupies all the land north of the Yellow River, and can drink horses and peek at Luoyang."
"Master..."
One of the strategists counted the other, and they all agreed to compliment Yuan Shao.
A personal soldier also went down immediately to convey Yuan Shao's orders.
.........
The Yuan army soldiers in the central army camp were shooting arrows with Taishici's soldiers. Taishici did not have the upper hand.
He also had no ability to organize 10,000 elite soldiers to challenge Yuan Shao's other four small camps.
He can only succeed unless he has heavy siege equipment and equivalent force.
Taishici was just waiting for Zhang Xiu to break through to the southern camp and succeed, and came to the north. Both sides worked together to capture Yuan Shao alive.
Yuan Jun's side.
Yan Liang did not show up, but just stood outside the range of the archer's shooting range by holding his sword, commanding the army. After listening to Yuan Shao's order, Yan Liang was very moved.
Because Taishici had no reinforcements, it would be a good opportunity to eat Taishici now. After thinking for a while, Yan Liang said, "I ordered Li Tie from the Left Back Army to lead thousands of troops from the left to the south. From the direction of Taishici's attack on our camp, he launched an attack on Taishici."
"Shit Li Wang from the Right Back Army to lead thousands of troops in the headquarters to attack Taishici from the right."
"Sir Xiong Hua from the front army led his troops to attack Taishici from the front."
"The central army did not move, and only shot against Taishici."
"promise."
The personal soldiers silently recited Yan Liang's order in their hearts, and after they agreed, they immediately went down to pass the order. Yuan Shao's four small camps.
The central army did not move, and the other three armies rushed out from all directions, and for a moment they surrounded Taishi Ci in a small camp of Yuan Shao that he occupied.
At the same time, Yuan Shao's messengers also went to the east and west of the city and called for reinforcements.
This is also because the Yuan army arranged four camps in the southeast, northwest and northeast, and the troops were dispersed, otherwise there would be no need to be such trouble.
Taishi Ci still kept his troops and relied on the fortifications of Yuan Shao's small camp to fight with the other side.
...........
Yuan Shao’s camp in the south of the city.
The sound of fighting is still magnificent.
However, Yuan Shaojun's resistance became weaker and weaker, and he was even shaking.
Inside the Central Army's tent.
Yuan Xun couldn't sit still, so he stood up and paced back and forth. A personal soldier broke in from outside and reported: "Report to the general. Chen Junhou and Wang Junhou were all killed in battle. The central army could not defend it. Wu Junhou asked me to support the general and get on the horse, go to the camp through the back door, and leave the camp."
Yuan Xun's face changed drastically, pale, and he said shakingly: "I can't hold on?"
"I can't defend it. The Liang army is so elite and good at fighting, and we are caught off guard." The personal soldiers shook their heads and said with a wry smile.
"Walk."
Yuan Xun took a deep breath. Although he was very unwilling to accept it, he no longer insisted. After all, saving his life is important. He immediately waved his hand, then left the big tent and turned over to the horse. Surrounded by his personal soldiers, he left the back door and headed towards the camp.
When he left, he also ordered the second battalion of the Later Army to withdraw his troops. After leaving the camp, he scattered left and right, and went to the east and west camps.
With Yuan Xun's departure, the resistance of the central army finally collapsed. Under the leadership of the officers, the soldiers fought and retreated, and were eventually defeated.
Gao Shun and Fan Chou successfully entered the central army. The two of them agreed without pursuing the fleeing Yuan army.
One soldier fought hard, but his physical strength decreased and he could not catch up.
Second, I was afraid of being ambushed late at night.
The two of them just ordered their soldiers to clean up the camp and ordered people to put out the fire.
Not long after, Zhang Xiu led civil and military ministers into the central army's tent.
Zhang Xiu sat in Yuan Xun's position by pressing his sword, looked around at Wenwu, and said in a deep voice: "Taishi Ci in the city did not send troops to respond, I don't know why."
He looked up at Dian Wei, who was outside the account, and said, "Brother, we are inseparable. When we see you, the defenders will know that I am here. You can take people to the city to see."
"promise."
Dian Wei Yingnuo said, and immediately led some of his personal soldiers to the city to take a look.
"Your Majesty. General Taishi may have been guarding the city for too long and had not seen reinforcements. This time he mistakenly thought it was Yuan Shao's trap, so he did not send troops to respond."
Sima Yi bowed and said.
Zhang Xiu and the strategists both nodded, which was an explanation.
"How is the situation?" Zhang Xiu raised his head and asked Gao Shun, and Fan Chou said.
Fan Chou was the general of Xiliang, and was close to Zhang Xiu, thinking that he was above Gao Shun. He quickly said: "Report to Your Majesty, it's too dark. We don't know how many Yuan soldiers were killed. We have surrendered about one or two thousand people. However, the matter suddenly happened, and the Yuan army did not have time to burn the food, grass, and supplies, and the number was very large."
At the end of the day, Fan Chou showed a real smile on his rough face.
Zhang Xiu and his advisers also laughed.
There must be still food in Huaicheng City, but they brought 30,000 people, and the pressure on food and grass increased sharply. Now, food, supplies, and perhaps weapons and armor have been seized from the Yuan army.
It's really a great thing.
"Okay. Get a delicious meal and reward the soldiers. Tonight, you will stay in this camp and strengthen your vigilance. I will lead the Qimen, Yulin and Huben army to enter the city to meet with Taishici."
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "When Yuan Shao learned that I was coming, he would definitely gather his troops and retreat for dozens of miles. The siege of Huaicheng was lifted."
"Hahahaha." The civil and military officials laughed loudly and were full of confidence in Zhang Xiu's words.
Then Zhang Xiu asked Gao Shun and Fan Chou to do the work. He sat in the tent with the rest, waiting for news from Dian Wei. Not long after, Dian Wei walked in from outside and said with a serious look on his face: "Your Majesty. The defenders said that Taishi Ci led 10,000 troops to attack Yuan Shao's northern camp. Now the two sides are fighting fiercely."
"Hmm?!!!" Zhang Xiu and the counselors all changed their faces slightly, showing a shock. Fa Zheng's mind was very fast and he sighed: "General Taishi Ci is a real general."
"Yes." Zhang Xiu took a deep breath, showed a little smile, and nodded.
Everyone was smart and immediately knew Taishici's worries and attempts.
"Brother, I'll send an order to enter the city immediately. The soldiers of the three armies of Qimen, Yulin and Huben will cheer up. After entering the city, they will come out of the North City Gate. Perhaps, they can really capture Yuan Shao alive."
Zhang Xiu stood up and ordered.
"promise."
Dian Wei Yingnuo said, turned around and went down.
Let's not mention the strategists for the time being. Zhang Xiu took the long-lost gun from Ma Dai. After turning over the horse, he immediately led more than 10,000 troops of the Guards into the city.
The army followed the straight city avenue to the north city gate.
...........
Yuan Shao's camp in the north of the city.
Yuan Jun launched a fierce attack on Taishici.
Taishici relied on the fortifications of Yuan’s camp to take arrows and supplies and resisted tenaciously. Yuan’s army needed to use some siege equipment to attack Taishici.
Although Yuan's army was elite and had a large number of people, they could not do anything to Taishi Ci.
The fierce battle between the two sides only resulted in continuous casualties.
Central Army camp, in the tent.
Yuan Shao's face became a little ugly, and his advisers were well-behaved and silent.
Taishici is really a weird person.
After successfully attacking, he refused to leave. He thought he could easily eat Taishi Ci, but he didn't expect Taishi Ci could defend so tenaciously.
"Send the order and quickly defeat Taishici, otherwise the general will come to see you." Yuan Shao finally couldn't help it and stood up and shouted.
"No." The personal soldiers agreed and went down to pass the order.
Yuan Shao was angry, and the strategists were even more afraid to speak.
Just then, a rapid sound of horse hooves sounded.
Yuan Shao felt a little irritable, but he didn't think much about it. Soon after, a personal soldier rushed in from outside and said with an ugly face: "Report to the lord."
"General Yuan Xun of the Southern Camp sent people to report. The Southern Camp was suddenly attacked by the Liang army. The number of enemy soldiers was no less than 20,000, and they were all elite soldiers."
