Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 149

Chapter 149 The Army Pressed Down on the City
Jinyang City.

Zhang Chao brought his army to Yanmen Prefecture in January. This news was not concealed for long. On the seventh day after the incident, the spies of Heishan Army knew that Zhang Yan had held a military meeting in the cave between the mountains.

Zhang Yan was dressed in armor on the first seat. She looked around her subordinates and said, “Brothers, Zhang Chao brought the main force to Yanmen Prefecture. It can be seen that his goal this time is to recover the entire Bingzhou City.” Once he becomes a true Bingzhou City Shepherd, we will become his next target. At that time, a great battle will be inevitable. Rather than waiting for him to come looking for us, why don’t we take advantage of his absence to forcefully attack Jin Yang City? As long as we can take down his lair, Bingzhou City will be in chaos. At that time, we will be safe. ”

Zhang Yan did not want to be enemies with Zhang Chao, and she was indeed somewhat afraid of his strength. Especially after he found out that the legion was Zhang Chao’s army, the chess pieces he had arranged here two to three years in advance, he became even more farsighted and fearful.

Such an enemy was not easy to defeat, so it would be best if they could not fight. It was just that Zhang Chao’s ambition had truly threatened him. First, he took down West River Prefecture, then he took Hedong. Now, he had to use troops in Yanmen Prefecture. This was something that Bingzhou City Mu had never been able to do, but now, it was going to happen one by one.

In other words, once Zhang Chao possessed the entire Bingzhou City, he would probably have to deal with himself next. If that was the case, then a great battle would be inevitable. Even so, he could only make his move first.

Zhang Yan advocated to use force against Zhang Chao, this proposal was quickly passed by the people below. This time, even Zhou Cang, the liaison messenger who had a good relationship with the 1st legion, also agreed.

Since the faction was different, the things they were considering were naturally different. Zhou Cang was a member of the Montenegrin Army, and his starting point was to consider the Montenegrin Army.

However, although Zhou Cang had agreed, Zhang Yan had considered the relationship between him and the 1st legion, so she did not allow him to fight this time. Even his good friend Pei Yuanshao was implicated and arranged to be a guard general at home.

Zhang Yan ordered, in poison, white around into a, from the south attack jinyang city; Sui Gu and himself attacked Jinyang City from the east; Guanhai Division blocked Zhang Chao reinforcements from the direction of Huguan in Zhongshan Prefecture; Bian Xi Bu blocked Zhang Chao’s reinforcements from the direction of Hedong and Xihe Prefectures; Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshaoliu Family Guards; Other generals could take the opportunity to plunder the warehouses of the counties of Bingzhou City.

This year, Bing Zhou obtained a bumper harvest. I heard that the granaries of the counties are full. If they can be used for their own purposes, then the Montenegrin Army’s grain in the next year will not be a problem.

Zhang Yan’s arrangement was approved by most people. After the meeting was over, everyone was busy. Not long after, the Heavenly Eye members planted inside Heishan Army spread the news to Jin Yang City.

Jin Yang City’s City Lord’s Mansion.

It was an existence second only to the Shepherd’s Mansion. Normally, there would be decisions about the big and small matters of Bing Zhou here. And now, guarding here is giffin and lu su.

After receiving the information from the Heavenly Eye members, the two of them gathered a few generals staying at home, including tardif, zhang liao, seibel, hansei four generals.

A member of the Heavenly Eyes had entered the Montenegrin army four years ago, and because of his performance, he had become a personal soldier beside Zhang Yan. The information he had transmitted was not only accurate, but also very detailed, allowing Jia Xu and Lu Su to formulate the most appropriate countermeasures according to the situation.

“Master is wise. The Heavenly Eye Organization has indeed played a powerful role.” Looking at these specific and true information, both Giffin and Lu Su had the same feeling in their hearts.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing your enemy is invincible. Being able to predict the opponent’s situation in advance meant that they had a 30% chance of winning. The two senior advisors were filled with confidence in this battle. The four generals were summoned to arrange their respective missions.

“The will. This time master with army to recapture wild goose gate, attack the huns arrogance, is our Chinese nation proud. “What’s hateful is that Heishan Army actually chose to attack us at this time. This proves that they don’t have a national concept in their hearts. That is to say, that’s why we have to give them a head-on blow. Let them know how powerful we are. Do you have confidence?” Looking at the four generals of Taishi Ci, Lu Su asked earnestly.

The four generals naturally rubbed their hands together, their eyes shining.

This time, Zhang Chao brought the main force to the Yan Gate and indeed left them behind. This caused the four of them to feel uneasy. As generals, they also wanted to make contributions.

For this matter, the night before Zhang Chao left, he even specially invited four people to a banquet. A confidential conversation made the four of them know their intentions.

At that time, Zhang Chao said, “A battle can achieve the final victory, there is a great reason.” Some of them were strategically arranged, some of them risked their lives, some of them had timely logistical supplies, some had correct intelligence sources, and some of them were united and stable at the rear. All the four of them had to do was to protect the stability of the rear. Although we can conceal ourselves in the first place, we will definitely be known by everyone after a long time. At that time, we don’t know who will come after us. After knowing that the main force would leave, Jin Yang City would become the target of the election. At that time, it would be up to the four generals to show their might. “In a word, I have given my family to you. I hope that the generals will not betray my trust.”

The words’trust ‘made the four of them feel the burden on their shoulders. At the same time, they felt relieved that they could not follow the army to make contributions.

Now, everything was as Zhang Chao had expected. Heishan Army was indeed the first to jump out. When did the four of them still have the reason to fight without their lives?

“Military counselors, please rest assured that the Montenegrin army will not allow them to take advantage of us this time.” Taishi Ci spoke on behalf of the four generals.

“Alright, that’s all. Everything is up to you generals. Please announce your battle plan now, Brother Wen He.” Lu Su nodded to tardif four people, then gave everything to giffin.

“Let me announce the battle plan. General Taishi…”

In time to get the Montenegrin army movement, lu su and giffin on behalf of bing prefecture jointly sent a notice to the counties under the prefecture, that is, the prefecture to guard the city, to prevent the attack of the Montenegrin army.

As soon as this decree was issued, the gates of some prefectures and counties began to become connected. The Second Grade and Third Grade armies began to gather, and the situation in Bingzhou City instantly became grim.

At the same time, Zhang Yan’s army also emerged from the mountains, heading straight for Jinyang City and Bing Prefecture.

The gates of Jin Yang City were also closed. The citizens of the city were also notified that they should not go out if they had nothing else to do. Fortunately, it was winter and the twelfth month. There was nothing to do with farming, so they would not delay anything serious.

This was also the result of discussions between Jia Xu and Lu Su. In order to ensure the absolute safety of Jinyang City, closing the city gates was the best thing to do. This was the capital of Bingzhou City, where Zhang Chao was based, and there was absolutely no room for loss.

When Zhang Yan and her army arrived ten miles to the east of Jinyang City, the scouts in front reported the situation in front of them.

Upon hearing that the city gates of Jinyang City were closed, General Sui Gu, who was accompanying Zhang Yan, burst into laughter. “General, looks like they’re scared. Do you think they can stop our army from entering just by closing the city gates? What a joke.”

‘”That’s right, Zhang Chao’s main force is not here. Jin Yang City is no different from Kong City. I was worried that they would run away and take away money and food when they got the news. Now it seems like it’s a lot more reassuring.” Zhang Yan laughed heartily after hearing the information.

As far as Zhang Yan was concerned, Jin Yang City, without Zhang Chao’s main force, was something that could be easily obtained. What he was worried about was that the other party would escape. He was indeed the least afraid that the other party would defend the city.

According to the intelligence, Zhang Chao entered Yanmen Prefecture this time with more than twenty thousand infantry and nearly twenty thousand cavalry. This was almost equivalent to emptying out all the troops in Jinyang City. Even so, how many people could defend the city, and what was there to be afraid of?

Knowing that the four gates of Jinyang City were closed, Zhang Yan was overjoyed, so he agreed to Sui Gu’s request, allowing him to lead forty thousand soldiers to attack Dongcheng first, and then he led forty thousand soldiers to the rear of the palace.

In order to take down Jin Yang City at once, Zhang Yan had put in a lot of money on this trip. He had brought eighty thousand troops along the way, and Yu Du and Bai Luan had brought fifty thousand troops along the way, a total of one hundred and thirty thousand troops attacking Jin Yang City. No matter how one looked at it, this was a stable victory.

In fact, there were only 10,000 infantry in Jin Yang City at this time. The Zhangjiajun army had 1000 heavy cavalry, 1000 light cavalry, and 500 fallen soldiers. Even with the addition of a few City Defense Forces whose combat strength was only Second Grade, the number was only around 15,000.

With 15,000 to 130,000, no matter how one looked at it, it was a difficult game to win. But defending in the city giffin and lu su do have confidence to defend the city, what is the reason?

This was naturally due to the lack of combat power of the Montenegrin army, as well as the tall walls of Jin Yang City and the wide moat surrounding them.

As early as last year giffin with zhaoyun marotta and lyu3 bu4 attack west river county hedong, zhang chao in the city began to build a moat.

Originally, according to Zhang Chao’s request, Jin Yang City had more than doubled the size of the city, and the city wall was less than twice as high as before. However, he still needed to use limited manpower to build the moat. Someone had questioned this matter.

However, Zhang Chao did not answer those who had doubts. Instead, he insisted on continuing to build. He even attracted the river water from afar to completely fill the moat.

It wasn’t until the day when all the moats were built that everyone looked forward from the city gates that they realized the importance of this move. With this wide moat, the entire Jin Yang City would have at least 50% more defensive capabilities. This was also where Jia Xu and Lu Su were confident in resisting the enemy.
