Chapter 414: Liaodong Battle Situation

Now it is March 192 AD, and it is the snow that has melted, and Wuhuan is preparing to move south.

They had already sent the forward forwards and drove a batch of cattle and sheep to the front line to prepare for military rations.

It can be said that a big war could break out at any time.

Zhang Yu adjusted Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, and was planning to lead his troops north to support.

After the arrangement, Zhang Yu took Gao Shun, Dian Wei and 40,000 soldiers and horses to prepare to go north.

40,000 soldiers and horses, according to the capacity of today's big ships, there are also several round-trips.

Zhang Yu let Gao Shun go over first.

Ling Cao was assigned to guard Danyang County and train the defenders at the same time.

Although the defending army is a second-line army, it is not lacking in training, and they must be able to immediately integrate into the main force to fight when the main force needs it, so the requirements are also quite high.

After that, Zhang Yu arranged other things and left Huiji and went to Liaodong, where Zhang Yu went with Zhang Yu in addition to Gao Shun and Dian Wei, as well as Zhang Ning.

When Zhang Yu and their troops all arrived in Liaodong, it was already April.

Several generals were preparing to fight the enemy in Shenyang City, and Zhang Yu asked Gao Shun to stay in Liaodong to destroy Goguryeo.

Goguryeo attacked, but their army was not good, it was not cavalry, it was poorly equipped, and it was poorly trained.

If it weren't for Goguryeo and them hiding in the dense forest, Zhang Yu might have directly led his troops to level them first.

After that, Zhang Yu led the cavalry to Shenyang City.

In Shenyang City, the atmosphere was very tense, because the news had just come that the Wuhuan army had begun to assemble and would move south in a few days.

There are 100,000 in the forward, and I don't know how many troops there are.

However, after Zhang Yu arrived in Shenyang City, he was not worried at all when he saw their preparations.

It was a big city that could accommodate millions of people.

More than 300,000 people around Shenyang City have all moved into the city, and there is an empty field outside, and the enemy has nowhere to resupply, and there is no place to even capture prisoners.

And there were no more troops in the city.

Several of the generals in the city were there.

Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, and Huang Zhong were all there, and they each led 20,000 cavalry, and there were 50,000 defenders in the city, so there were 110,000 troops, plus 20,000 soldiers and horses supported by Zhang Yu, and there were 130,000 soldiers and horses in the city.

An army of 130,000 is a huge army.

The most important thing is Zhang Yu, they still have Shenyang City.

Shenyang City has a huge amount of materials in reserve, and it is no problem to hold on for a year, and the city wall is high and thick, and the Wuhuan people who don't have much experience in attacking the city probably don't know how to fight.

"Meet my lord." After Zhang Yu arrived, he raised his account in the city lord's mansion.

Gu Yong and other ministers were on the side, and Dian Wei was on the side of their generals.

After saluting each other, Zhang Yu said: "It is conservatively estimated that there are more than 650,000 Wuhuan people, and all of them are soldiers, excluding the elderly, women and children, and there are at least 300,000 people who can go south to plunder, or even more. ”

Zhang Yu first introduced the situation of the enemy, but everyone was not surprised, as if the enemy was not 300,000, but 30,000.

Morale is available, several generals are in blood, and this test is nothing.

There is no need for Zhang Yu to say much about the pre-war mobilization, all the generals have high fighting spirits, and they will naturally transmit it to the soldiers.

Zhang Yu didn't say much, and let them each prepare.

Within two days, the news came further, Wuhuan was 100,000 in the front, and another 150,000 troops in the rear, and Wuhuan was also gathering.

Their army may have exceeded three hundred thousand.

In the past few months, Zhang Yu has to exchange the basic population twice a month, so that Wuhuan will also increase the population by tens of thousands.

The total number of troops may exceed 300,000, and it is impossible for Zhang Yu to have no pressure, but they are not afraid.

Liaodong arranged tens of thousands of defenders to defend the city, while Xuansu County had cleared the wilderness, leaving only one Shenyang city.

The Wuhuan army officially went south, and they endured a winter, and if it weren't for Zhang Yu's trade with them and the accumulation of some grain, they didn't know how many people would starve to death.

However, they have been unable to make ends meet, and they cannot afford to buy goods from Liaodong.

After all, their needs are too great, and they need food, salt, tea, etc.

Robbing without money, that's their logic.

Qiu Liju, the king of Wuhuan, personally led, and after the 250,000 troops converged, they slowly moved south.

"The cunning Han people have all run away." After entering Xuansu County, they found that they couldn't grab a grain of food, let alone money and population.

The Wuhuan people continued to move south, and finally discovered the city of Shenyang.

"Damn, the Han people actually built such a city." Seeing Shenyang City, the Wuhuan people were dumbfounded.

The high walls made them not know how sad they were.

100,000 forwards surrounded the city of Shenyang, and they also carried out a tentative attack, but there were two trenches outside the city to block them.

It wasn't just the trenches, there were also bunkers built on the side of the trenches near the walls, and the soldiers could fire arrows in the bunkers to kill them and prevent them from filling the trenches.

This city is newly built, and Zhang Yu personally participated in the design, not only thick, but also has many thoughts of later generations in it.

If the Wuhuan people can successfully fill the trench, then there will be other unexpected things waiting for them.

After the Wuhuan people tried to attack to no avail, they cursed outside the city, and then had no choice but to wait for the army to arrive.

Zhang Yu stood at the head of the city, looking down, and the dense enemy army in the distance seemed a little small.

Zhang Yu brought a few generals up to observe the enemy's situation, and the rest of the generals were also carefully observing the enemy's situation.

The city wall of Shenyang City is very high and very thick, nearly 20 meters high, and the thickness has reached more than 10 meters, which is comparable to Luoyang.

Zhang Yu has seen the Chang'an City of later generations, when Chang'an still retains the city wall, more than ten meters high, and the width can be four cars in parallel.

And Zhang Yu also established such a city.

"Lord, these barbarians, it's a dream for them to want to fight Shenyang City like this." Dian Wei said disdainfully.

Zhao Yun continued: "Lord, according to our internal report, the enemy came to plunder because of the lack of food, according to our calculations, it will be difficult for them to support them for a month, and they may go to other places to plague at that time. ”

The Wuhuan people lacked food, and although they brought a lot of cattle and sheep when they went south, they had an army of more than 200,000 people, and the consumption was huge.

Zhang Yu also thought about many possibilities, if they blocked them in Shenyang City, some of the Wuhuan people would definitely have to plunder other places, otherwise they would not be able to support so many troops.

Zhang Yu began to worry about Gongsun Zhan, at this time he did not have much advantage in the battle with Yuan Shao, and if the rear was attacked at this time, it was likely to collapse.

Once Gongsun Chan collapses, the situation Zhang Yu will face will be even more complicated.

"I hope Gongsun Chan can block it, and if Liu Yu watches from the wall, he will find a way to force him to join the war when the time comes."

In the face of the Wuhuan army, Zhang Yu was thinking more about the situation in the entire Youzhou.
