Chapter 398: Civil Strife
The hearts of the allied armies were shaken, and Chen Wen was unconscious.
Some are already preparing to leave.
Guo Jia saw the opportunity and immediately sent troops, and the three armies were integrated to advance towards the enemy.
Yes, this time it was Guo Jia's turn to attack.
60,000 soldiers and horses slowly dispatched and pressed towards the enemy's city.
And Zhang Yu's actions were also very fast, after controlling the city, he left 5,000 men and horses, and then led 15,000 people to kill in the direction of the coalition army.
As for Huang Ren, he ran away, and no one had time to pay attention.
Zhang Yu swept some of the strongholds of the coalition forces along the road, and once he found that the place where the grain was stored was burned.
Burned, the light of the fire can give a major blow to the morale of the coalition forces, and make them psychologically broken.
On Guo Jian's side, they did not attack, did not besiege the city, but only drove the army to thirty miles below the enemy's city.
Yes, Guo Jia doesn't attack, the cost of attacking the city is too great, and they just need to do this, put a lot of pressure on the enemy, and the enemy will naturally collapse.
They were also on the verge of collapse, because the grain base was occupied, and the food in the three cities could only last a few days.
Zhang Yu killed him from another direction.
The pressure on these troops in the city is increasing, and some have begun to think about escaping.
"Strategist, are they really going to have civil strife?" Ling Cao asked uncertainly.
In the big tent, Guo Jia was very calm, dealing with official business on the desk and said: "Naturally, the ingredients in them are too complicated, and Chen Wen's prestige is not enough, and many of them can attack us together for the sake of interests, but now not only do they have no interests, but the situation is so unfavorable that collapse is inevitable." ”
The generals in the big tent, Ling Cao, Gao Shun, Zhou Cang and others all behaved very easily, although the other party was fierce in this battle, it seemed that people from all over the world came to attack them, but in the end, they didn't even beat a city.
Zhang Yu continued to capture the city from the other side, and the threat became bigger and bigger.
In fact, their first reaction should have been to send troops to recapture the city, but Chen Wen vomited blood and fainted, and did not send anyone to hide back.
And who wants to go with the other armies?
No one wanted to go, so they cowered in the city, ready to die.
"No, you can't wait to die in the city."
"Gotta leave."
"Chen Wen has been in a coma until now, and if we continue to wait, we can only die."
Many foreign armies and some of the most powerful armies in Yangzhou have begun to stop working, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that if they continue to wait, it will inevitably collapse in a few days.
There is no hope for this battle.
Originally, if Chen Wen responded quickly, he would have mobilized grain and grass from the outside or sent troops to recapture Wanling, but Chen Wen just couldn't stand the blow and fainted.
Now that the soldiers are coming to the city, they have done nothing but wait for death.
Three days later, Zhang Yu was dozens of miles away, and they were surrounded on both sides.
With the Yangtze River on one side, they were left with one last place to retreat.
Exit Danyang County and retreat to other places.
But this way, the road is long.
Three days later, Chen Wen woke up leisurely.
At this time, Chen Wen suddenly became an old man, and he was weak.
"Kill, kill me."
"Go and kill Zhang Yu."
"Kill them all."
When Chen Wen woke up, he shouted that he wanted to kill Zhang Yu.
He quickly gave the order to send troops to attack Zhang Yu.
When the order was given, many people fell silent.
The general of Danyang County has 15,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.
Their Taishou had already been captured by Zhang Yu in Wanling City, and most of the entire Danyang County fell into Zhang Yu's hands.
Moreover, Danyang County is connected to Zhang Yu's Wu County and Huiji County, and if this battle is lost, there is no need to think about it, and the entire county will fall into Zhang Yu's hands.
Therefore, several generals in Danyang County moved their minds.
"It's better for us to lower Zhang Yu, even if we don't, we have to flee, and many of our family members have fallen into Zhang Yu's hands." Said one of the generals.
"What General Wu said is that if we don't surrender, we have to run to other places, it is better to stay in Danyang County, and we can also bring our family out."
"But will Zhang Yu kill us? Will he accept surrender? ”
"I heard that Zhang Yu is the Great Demon King, killing innocents indiscriminately, what if he kills us all when the time comes?"
A general shook his head and said: "No, Zhang Yu's indiscriminate killing is just a rumor, we are near Huiji County, we have a certain amount of research on him, he has never killed indiscriminately, at most he will abandon us, and he will not kill us." ”
After hearing this, several generals nodded and said: "Okay, then we will surrender, otherwise even if we run to other places, it will be boring to be alone, and when the military power is taken away, we will only have a dead end." ”
These people are still relatively rational and know their current situation.
"Since we want to surrender, we should have a letter of surrender, why don't we open the city and welcome Zhang Yu's army in." One of the generals proposed.
Another general shook his head and said: "No, if Zhang Yu and they can't arrive in time, we will fall into passivity, it is better for us to burn grain and grass, and then go directly to surrender." ”
"Okay, that's it."
Several generals have finished their deliberations, and then they have begun to operate secretly.
The other two cities also had people moving in private.
In the middle of the night, in Jiangcheng County, an army inside secretly began to act.
"We set fire to the warehouse, as well as the barracks at the south gate, and then went directly out of the west gate to find Zhang Yu to surrender."
"Okay, let's split up."
They were the defenders of the city, moving around the city, and no one cared, just some people were curious.
The west gate was the gate they defended.
In the middle of the night, although the city is quiet, there are too many elements of unrest.
"It's on fire, it's on fire."
"Fight the fire."
"It's on fire, the grain is burning."
"Dead, dead."
They burned the granary, and they also burned the barracks at the south gate, so that they could not understand the situation, and because of the fire, it was too late to pursue them.
There were fires in two places at the same time, these were Danyang's troops, and it was naturally much easier for them to act in their own cities, so they easily lit the fires.
"Let's go."
The fire burned, the gates of the city were immediately opened, and an army ran out of it.
There was chaos in the city, and no one had discovered their situation yet.
The fire quickly alarmed everyone.
"Oh no, the enemy is coming."
"Zhang Yu has been killed."
Panic, from the fire to the enemy to kill, the city is in chaos.
Several nearby armies rushed to put out the fire, but the fire was so strong that it soon flooded their granaries.
Many people are desperate, they have lost their logistics, and now the only food they have has been burned.
The situation is very bad.
"Danyang's army has all fled."
"It's the fire they set on fire."
Soon two more pieces of news came, and these two pieces of news collapsed the army in Jiangcheng County at once.
