Chapter 1003: Taking the initiative to set fire to the mountain

Zhang Yu solved the matter of Mount Tai, and then he was studying the matter in the direction of Xuzhou.

One hundred thousand troops were besieged, this was a big deal, how could Zhang Yu not care.

Zhang Yu's army was not so easy to train.

Zhang Yu pondered for a while and then wrote back to Gao Shun: "Believe them, they can block Cao Jun's attack, as long as they survive for more than ten days, we will be able to take the initiative." ”

As a general, you can't be soft-hearted.

Zhang Yu already planned to bear large losses, the army had to go through the experience of blood and fire, how could there be immortals in battle.

Gao Shun has been preparing, mobilizing the surrounding militia to enter the city to defend, and then adjusting the number of surrounding defenders.

He was preparing that if he needed to, he could lead his troops out of the city to rescue them.

Gao Shun collected information from all parties at the same time, and Zhang Yu adjusted the intelligence system, so that the information from Yanzhou and Yuzhou would also be sent to Gao Shun.

The situation became very complicated, it was chaos.

There is a war in the west, and two battlefields are open in the east.

Zhang Yu stayed in Taishan County for three days, leaving this mess to his subordinates, while he went to Lu State.

When Zhang Yu had just set off, Ling Cao began to attack and kill Lu Guojun.

Ling Cao finally attacked, and Cao Jun's hanging heart also sank, and at this time they were facing Zhang Yu who was killing from the other side.

Zhang Yu led an army of more than 100,000 to the south quickly, and would attack their flanks and rear.

The situation is crisis.

Cao Angna has not made any progress for a long time, and if this continues, the situation is very unfavorable for them.

When Cao Ang and the others received the news that Zhang Yan had returned to Zhang Yu, they knew that something was wrong.

Jia Xu said: "Eldest prince, we can only attack or give up, so if we are entangled here, the situation will only be more unfavorable." ”

"Fight, must fight, I will immediately send someone to inform my father and let him get ready." Cao Ang said.

Zhang Yu didn't come to save the army besieged by them, so they had no choice but to attack.

Cao Ang, with the cooperation of several generals, divided into several roads and wanted to storm up.

"Kill."

Mighty armies advanced up the hillside.

There are young generals in several directions.

"In this way, don't think about attacking, order the soldiers and horses in the front, slowly retreat, wait for them to come up, and give them a fierce blow."

The army at the foot of the hill fought and retreated, and there were not very violent arrows from above to support them.

Cao Ang and Jia Xu watched from a distance.

"They are not even willing to use arrows, they have to hold on for a long time, and I am afraid that this battle will not be easy to fight." Cao Ang said.

Zhang Yu's army gives people the impression that they have strong firepower, and if there is support, their soldiers never hesitate to shoot arrows.

But now that they were surrounded, their arrows were limited, and their attacks were not so violent.

Several troops and horses are progressing relatively smoothly, which makes Cao Ang feel a lot more relieved.

Jia Xu said: "The eldest prince, my subordinates suggested that some soldiers and horses should be withdrawn, and the follow-up support should not be followed quickly, this fierce attack is obviously a little wrong." ”

Their soldiers rushed up several tens of meters, but the resistance of the other side was not very fierce.

Jia Xu is also relatively familiar with Zhang Yu's army, which is to fight to the death and not retreat, and not to give up without fighting.

But now they have taken the initiative to abandon some positions, and it is not strange that there is a conspiracy.

Cao Ang didn't think much about it and sent someone to give the order.

It takes time to give a herald.

At this time, their army killed more than ten meters.

suddenly

A lot of people rushed out of the gentle slopes of the mountain.

"Kill, destroy them."

"Kill it."

An army came out abruptly and rushed down from above.

Suddenly attacked, or rushed down from above.

Cao Jun suddenly couldn't resist.

"Shoot the arrows."

A large number of archers from above also appeared, standing on the gentle slope and shooting arrows downward, attacking from the rear of Cao's army.

Many of Cao's troops could not resist and ran down the mountain, only to be shot down by a rain of arrows.

The archers took control of an area below the mountain, which was a dead area.

"Don't run, hold on."

"You can't run, kill it."

Many Cao soldiers understood that this run was to leave the enemy behind and die faster.

But there was no way, the top rushed down, and the impact was too strong.

The impact is so powerful that they can't resist.

Cao Ang clenched his hands, he understood that this loss was not small.

The army that went up was beaten down again.

They retreated.

After some counting, more than 4,000 people were killed and wounded, and a wave of attacks was disintegrated.

Cao Jun rested for a while and planned to continue the attack.

But at this time a fire broke out on the hillside, just over a hundred meters from the mountain.

This fire was naturally set by Zhang Yu's army.

They have cleared the fence and burned the trees, on the one hand, to prevent Cao Jun from killing and lighting fires.

It is better to keep them on fire, than to burn them all when you can control them.

Burning it also cleared the shooting boundary, making it easy for the archers to attack, especially since they also prepared a large number of rolling logs on the mountain, which were based on stones and stones, and it would be difficult for them to rush up with these things.

Cao Ang's face darkened, this day's time was a waste, and they didn't want to attack this day.

There was a fire on the mountain, and it was useless to attack it, they could only watch the play at the bottom of the mountain.

It was not until late afternoon that the fires were extinguished.

In this way, the day is wasted.

The next day, a fire broke out in the circle up the mountain, which was also set by the army above.

They've got a fire barrier, and they're watching.

Helplessly, the day was so wasted, although the fire was extinguished in the afternoon, but that place should still be very hot, and it couldn't go up at all.

Cao Ang was in a very bad mood down there.

Two days were wasted, they didn't have that much time to waste, and now they are just rushing for time.

By the third day, there was finally no fire on it.

But they began to cut down trees, and some of the big trees were burned bare, and only thick trunks remained.

They were cutting down these big trees, as if they were ignoring Cao Jun under the mountain.

Cao Ang wanted to attack, but at this time he didn't know where to start.

"Sir, they have dug a lot of places to hide soldiers in the mountains, and if they attack them rashly, they may suffer a lot of losses." Cao Ang said.

Cao Ang still remembers the soldiers and horses who suddenly rushed out from the gentle slope before, and he didn't know how many traps were still hidden on the mountain at this time.

It drags on day by day, which is very bad for them.

"Eldest Prince, we can only advance slowly and fight with them little by little, so the losses will be great." Jia Xu said.

Cao Ang had no choice but to fight hard, so they mobilized a large number of shields.

Mobilize the shields of the whole army, and arrange more archers.

Cao Jun's relatively scattered formation slowly ascended the mountain.

"That's it, within ten days, don't think about attacking." Several youngsters judged after evaluation.

Several young generals were not afraid at all at this time, and several of them also judged the current situation after analysis.
