Chapter 696: Guo Fengxiao's Insight
Whether it was when Wen Chou was out of the city or when Xun Chen was out of the city, they deliberately made the queue a little looser and not very tight.
I want the scouts sent by Guo Jia to estimate the number of Yuan troops out of the city.
But Guo Jia was very careful, he counted them all by the lowest amount.
Another hour passed, and Tian Feng said: "Lord, I will lead 5,000 people out from the north of the city to the south of the city.
When the time came, the lord personally led the rest of the people from the north gate, marched along the Anmu Road, turned west around the prison mountain, and then went south into Yanzhou, from Yanzhou back to Yecheng. ”
"If after I leave the city, the Zhao army enters the city directly, the lord does not resist, and leaves the city immediately."
This is the first time that Tian Feng has called Yuan Tan the lord.
This time, he himself was not sure that he would be able to safely retreat to Yecheng.
Whether it was Wen Chou, Xun Chen, or himself, the purpose was to disperse the forces in Guo Jia's hands and create the best opportunity for Yuan Tan to retreat.
Tian Feng didn't know how many people Guo Jia had already sent out.
He didn't know if Yuan Tan would be pursued by the Zhao army when he left the city an hour later.
But that's all he can do.
Attract more Zhao Jun.
If it is said that every way, there is a fifty percent probability of safely withdrawing to Yecheng, Tian Feng does this, and he also spreads the risk.
The probability that everyone will safely retreat to Yecheng is low, but the probability of total annihilation is also low.
Tian Feng didn't want to take risks.
If Yuan Shao is still there, with the current situation, Yuan Shao will definitely retreat with the whole army.
Tian Feng and Yuan Shao are two completely different personalities, and the choices they make are also very different.
So when Yuan Shao was still there, Tian Feng would always oppose Yuan Shao.
But now, the decision was made by Tian Feng, and Yuan Tan has become humble again, and he will not oppose Tian Feng.
watched Tian Feng set off from the south gate with five thousand soldiers and horses.
Although Yuan Tan finally heard the two words he wanted to hear the most, he was not happy at all now, but felt empty in his heart.
In his heart, he was ready to surrender to Cao Cao, but he still didn't tell Tian Feng.
He didn't know if Tian Feng would agree.
I suddenly felt a little sorry for Tian Feng in my heart.
But he still quickly put these distracting thoughts away from his heart.
Although Tian Feng laid out a route for him, Yuan Tan still had his own ideas in his heart.
Outside the south gate and the north gate, there are Zhao Jun's camp tents, but they are five miles away from the city gate.
Whether it is from the south gate or the north gate, it is actually easier to be discovered by Zhao Jun, and it is easier to be caught up by Zhao Jun.
But before Wen Chou and Xun Chen, they had already attracted most of Zhao Jun.
When Tian Feng went out of the city, he was also discovered by Zhao Jun's scouts.
Guo Jia asked Guan Hai to lead 15,000 men in pursuit.
Tian Feng's 5,000 people also disguised themselves as 15,000 people.
This number was the largest number estimated by the scouts, so Guo Jia also asked Guan Hai to lead 15,000 people.
"According to the least calculation, only 5,000 people left the city this time."
Guo Jia held the brush, and on the paper on the desk in front of him, six sets of numbers had been written.
"There are five thousand men in the city." Guo Jia writes numbers in a square.
"Continue to keep a close watch on the gates, especially the north gate." Guo Jia not only did not withdraw the scouts, but added some more.
The east gate, the west gate, and the south gate, have already had Yuan Jun come out now.
There is only one north gate left, and Guo Jia believes that in the next hour, someone will definitely come out of the north gate.
He is now in the camp north of the city.
Although Guan Hai, Zhao Yundian, and Wei have already been sent out.
But Guo Jia still has Zhang Yan in his hands, as well as more than 15,000 soldiers and horses.
There were more soldiers than Yuan's army, and everything was well arranged.
In the north of Yuncheng City, there were already more than a dozen scouts staring.
From the city gate to the camp where Guo Jia is located, there are several scouts every five miles of road.
As long as someone comes out of the north of the city, within a quarter of an hour, it can reach Guo Jia's ears.
The Zhao army camp, the remaining fifteen thousand soldiers, are ready at this moment and can fight at any time.
Of the three batches of Yuan Jun who left before, Guo Jia didn't know who was in command.
Who is left in the city now?
As long as it's not Wen Chou, Guo Jia has nothing to worry about.
Four groups of people, Guo Jia guessed that Wen Chou should be the first wave to go out of the city.
The first wave out of the city is the most attention-grabbing, and therefore the most dangerous.
A general is needed.
Even if Wen Chou did not go out of the city in the first wave, the possibility of the second and third waves going out of the city would be higher at night than the fourth wave.
In the city, Yuan Tan waited for an hour, and when the time came, he finally took the rest of the soldiers and horses out of the city.
He didn't wait for the Zhao army to enter the city, there were only five thousand Yuan troops in the city, and Yuan Tan didn't dare to wait until dawn.
After dawn, he may not be able to walk if he wants to.
This is the first time that Yuan Tan has personally commanded the army in a real sense.
He used to have other people around him.
And now he's the only one.
Yuan Tan suppressed the nervousness in his heart and tried his best to make himself expressionless.
There were only 5,000 people in his hands, so Yuan Tan couldn't feel any security.
"Speed up."
Although it was the first time to lead the army in the real sense, there were only 5,000 people, and Yuan Tan was still able to command well.
It's just that in a hurry, Yuan Tan didn't take care of the formation, and forgot what Tian Feng said, let the team disperse a little, so that the gap between each soldier is a little bigger, only 5,000 people, but it should give people the feeling of 15,000 people.
He will surely be found when he goes out of the city.
Even if Guo Jia had sent out all the Zhao troops, Tian Feng knew that there must still be scouts of the Zhao army outside Yuncheng.
Unless Yuan Tan only brought a few hundred people, and did not go through the city gate, but went down with a hanging basket at the corner of the city, it was possible to avoid the scouts of the Zhao army.
"Five thousand?" Guo Jia received the news as soon as possible.
He could confirm that she wasn't wrong in her estimate tonight.
So he immediately asked Zhang Yan to lead 10,000 men to pursue the Yuan army that came out of the north of the city.
Guo Jia himself took 5,000 people and entered Yuncheng before dawn.
When Guo Jia entered Yuncheng, there was no Yuan army in the city, and there was not a Yuan army even at the city gate.
Even if Tian Feng and Yuan Tan still had their hands left, but as soon as they left, the people who stayed behind immediately opened the city gate and fled.
Zhang Yan took the order.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
At the beginning, he took the Montenegrin Army to Zhao Hui, and all the Montenegrin Army was absorbed by Zhao Hui, but he was not reused.
This time, he was finally given a chance.
If it weren't for the fact that he brought back Jia Xu and Xu Huang before, Zhang Yan would probably have become a transparent figure in Zhao Huijun.
Although Zhang Yan has no chance to lead the troops alone, he still has the name of a general.
He took refuge in Zhao Hui too late.
His own ability is not at the level of Zhao Yundianwei.
What is the task, Dian Wei Zhao Yun is naturally Zhao Hui's first consideration.
If the task is not very important, it is also Zhou Cang Pei Yuanshao who has been following him.
In the end, it will be Zhang Yan's turn.
