Chapter 741: Xu Xian came to help

In Yanmen County, after the success of Zhang Liao's camp, it fell into an eerie calm.

In this robbery, there were 5,000 casualties and escaped Jizhou soldiers, even for Fu Zhi, it was a big blow.

More importantly, the camp was almost burned down, and most of the grain and grass in the army were also burned, which was simply impossible to supply to the morale of the Yuan army.

After the war, Wen Chou was furious, and repeatedly asked for orders from Fu Zhi to lead troops to attack the Yin Pavilion, but he was refused.

He re-established the camp that had burned most of it, and expanded it several times, and then boosted morale every day and secretly licked his wounds.

As a result, the entire Yanmen County fell into calm all of a sudden.

Yanmen County, the county guard's house.

Even if a few days have passed, the generals of the state are also very excited at this time, and they will sometimes mention that night, a thrilling battle.

The first general said regretfully: "It's a pity that I couldn't go with General Zhang to rob the camp that night, otherwise I would be able to appreciate the Yuan army, like a lost dog." ”

When the rest of the generals heard this, they also burst into laughter.

"Stomp, stomp!"

Just as they were talking about the victory unscrupulously, a sound of footsteps rang out in the county guard's mansion.

"General!"

When everyone saw Zhang Liao striding in, they all stood up and saluted, their eyes full of respect.

Zhang Liao had a high prestige in the army, and a big victory that night pushed his prestige to the peak.

At this time, the generals of the state were even more respectful of Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao waved his hand and said with a serious face: "After the camp was robbed, Yuan Jun has not made the slightest movement, and he is only boosting morale and expanding the camp every day. ”

"The soldiers are fast, originally I was a little incomprehensible to Yuan's actions, after all, the longer this war drags on, the more beneficial it will be for our army."

"However, when the Jinyang messenger arrived, I learned the cause and effect of the incident."

Zhang Liao looked around at everyone and saw that they all focused their eyes on him, and continued: "The messenger sent by the envoy said that the main direction of Yuan's attack this time is not Taiyuan County, but Yanmen County. ”

"Boom!"

When the words fell, the whole house was shocked.

"Could it be that the Yuan army is ready to attack Yanmen County with only 20,000 soldiers and horses?"

Faced with the general's question, Zhang Liao explained: "Originally, the scout heard that there were only 20,000 soldiers and horses attacking Yanmen County. ”

"But in fact, these 20,000 soldiers and horses are just pioneers."

"Yuan Benchu asked Gao Ran to use his banner to lead 20,000 troops to blwart and attack Taiyuan County."

"He himself led 50,000 soldiers and horses, and quietly touched Yanmen County."

Speaking of this, Zhang Liao's face became more and more solemn, and he said: "If it weren't for the envoy Jun sending a messenger to report the news in advance, when Yuan Benchu led the army to kill him by surprise, we would have been in a hurry." ”

"Rao knows Yuan Jun's true intentions, but in the face of the powerful Yuan Jun, it may be very difficult to defend the Yin Pavilion."

"So from today onwards, you will continue to recruit people every day to strengthen the city walls and help hoard strategic materials."

"Not only that, but we also need to organize the strong people in the city and teach them some simple defense skills, and these people will most likely be the key to our future defense of the city."

The reason why it is not easy to defend the city is not only because of the advantage of the city walls, but also because if the people in the city are loyal, they can quickly organize some people.

With a little training for these people, although they can't go out of the city to fight, they can barely help defend the city.

Therefore, as long as there is enough food and grass in the city and the generals are shrewd enough, the more people in the city, the easier it will be to defend the city.

Of course, the premise of everything is that the people are more loyal.

Otherwise, even if the people were forcibly requisitioned, the people would not necessarily do their best to help defend the city, and in some cases, they might even turn against them.

The people in Bingzhou are naturally loyal to Wen Zhao, and Yinguan is the capital of Yanmen County, and there are not a few people in the city, such as grain and grass.

If the mass forces can be fully mobilized, even if Yuan Shao leads a large army to attack, Zhang Liao will not be afraid.

With Zhang Liao's order, all the generals took action, and the entire Yin Pavilion also became turbulent.

Just when Zhang Liao was in full swing and preparing to resist the Jizhou army, Yuan Shao finally led 50,000 soldiers and horses over.

At this time, Yuan Shao had already learned about the robbery of the camp, and he was naturally angry in his heart.

However, Yuan Shao in this time and space is not as proud as in history, the environment can create a person, but Yuan Shao at this time is also working hard.

Therefore, although he was extremely angry in his heart, he did not overly criticize frustration and ugliness.

When the Jizhou army, after resting in the camp for a few days, began to launch a fierce charge towards the Yin Pavilion, but Zhang Liao led the Yin Pavilion soldiers and civilians to resist stubbornly.

Although the Yin Pavilion is not like Wuguan, it can completely block the road for the state army to go north, but it also has the advantage of a large population.

Although Wuguan is steep, there are not many people in the city, so there are not many strong people that Zhang Xiu can recruit at that time.

Under the command of Zhang Liao, he repelled the charges of the Yuan army again and again, and defended the Yin Pavilion as impregnable.

Rao is like this, under the fierce attack of the Yuan army, the soldiers defending the city also suffered heavy casualties.

On the city wall, Zhang Liao leaned on the side of the battlements, looking at the corpses all over the city, and felt extremely heavy in his heart.

"The offensive of the Yuan army was so fierce, especially the Xiandeng camp led by Ju Yi, which was extremely fierce during the siege, causing great casualties to our army."

"Although there are a lot of strong men recruited in the city, they have not been trained after all, and it seems that they are a little stretched to kill the enemy."

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao's eyes showed a hint of melancholy.

"If there are no reinforcements, the Yin Pavilion may be conquered before the cold winter comes."

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Liao did not rest in the empty space of Yuan's retreat, but was worried.

No matter how brave he was, when facing the absolutely strong Yuan Jun, he felt great pressure.

Just as he frowned and pondered, he suddenly heard a shout of killing coming from a distance.

Zhang Liao raised his eyes and found a figure of a white horse and a silver spear, leading a group of men and horses to rush over here.

The leader of the general was unstoppable, and he took the lead in tearing through the encirclement of the Yuan army, gradually approaching the city wall.

Although Zhang Liao saw clearly that those people were all wearing the armor of the state army, he still did not dare to be careless, and ordered the soldiers to be cautious.

"We are the reinforcements sent by the envoy, and I ask General Zhang to let us enter the city after verifying my identity!"

The leader of the generals was Xu Xian, and he knew that famous generals like Zhang Liao would definitely guard against Yuan's army coming to defraud the city, so he was not in a hurry to open the city gate.
