The sky gradually darkened, and Yuan Shao saw that the county seat of Wu'an was solid, and batch after batch of Yuan soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and his heart was immediately very irritable.

Fu Zhu was not only a strategist, but also a Confucian general.

He looked up at the sky, then at the already exhausted soldiers, and couldn't help but come to Yuan Shao and said, "Wu'an City will definitely not be able to be conquered today, so let's collect the troops first." ”

The soldiers led by Yuan Shao first went to Liaodong to fight Gongsun Zhan, and then fought with Liu Bei, and now they are even rushing to Wei County to attack Wu'an.

The current Yuan army has already become a tired army, how can it conquer a city with 30,000 elite garrisons?

Looking at one corpse after another, being thrown off the city wall, Yuan Shao suddenly felt a violent twitch in his heart. After hearing the frustration, he said helplessly: "Mingjin withdraws his troops." ”

"Woooooo

The sharp sound of gold sounded, and the exhausted siege team of Yuan's army suddenly receded like a tide. Many soldiers also showed relieved expressions on their faces.

Fu Zhi frowned and sighed softly: "The army has no fighting spirit." ”

Although the soldiers under Yuan Shao's command are not as elite as the Guanzhong soldiers, they are not a rabble, but the southern and northern wars have been exhausted for so long.

Strategically speaking, attacking a city garrisoned by elite troops with a tired army would have been a big mistake.

However, the Guanzhong soldiers led by Wang Yan were like sharp blades piercing the heart of Jizhou, even if they had to pay a big price, Yuan Shao would pull them out.

On the city wall, Wang Yan, who was dressed in military uniform, raised his eyes and looked over, and only after he saw that Yuan Jun receded like a tide, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning his head, Wang Yan looked at Gao Shun who was waiting to stand, and said with a smile: "Yanzheng, Yuan Jun once again returned in vain." ”

Gao Shun also showed a rare smile on his face, and said: "Jun Ge is impeccable in defending the city, even if Yuan's army is strong, Wu'an is also impregnable." ”

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "If you defend it for a long time, you will lose, there is no city that can never be conquered." It's just that Yuan Jun is indeed tired from a long battle, and since this is the case, it is better to make them more tired. ”

It's night, the autumn wind is bleak, and the moon is in the sky.

The exhausted Yuan army fell asleep in the tent. At this moment, the horn of the charge suddenly sounded, and a deafening shout of killing came.

For a time, the entire Yuan army camp began to riot.

Yuan Shao hurriedly finished putting it on, holding a sharp sword and shouting loudly: "All the generals restrain the subordinates in the tent, don't let them panic, if the thieves dare to come and rob the camp, they will definitely make them come and go." ”

Yuan Shao's composure stabilized the morale of the army, coupled with the fact that Yuan Jun was already well-trained, even though there was some commotion when he heard the sound of war drums for a while, there were still no major problems.

One order after another was conveyed, and although the soldiers of Yuan were still a little disheveled, they were quickly assembled.

Fu Zhu and the others also hurriedly came to Yuan Shao and asked, "Lord, but the thief army robbed the camp?" ”

Yuan Shao frowned and said: "We only heard that in the southeast of the camp, there were war drums and shouts of killing, but until now, the thief army has still not moved. ”

Guo Tu said: "This must be a thief who wants to rob the camp, but it depends on the commander's command and the soldiers in the camp are not chaotic, so they dare not attack." ”

"If what I expect is correct, it won't be long before the enemy forces in the southeast will retreat."

Sure enough, not long after Guo Tu finished speaking, the war drums and shouts of killing stopped.

Wen Chou hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Lord, the thief army is retreating, do we want to take advantage of the situation to chase and kill?" ”

Yuan Shao stroked his beard and said, "Now that the soldiers are tired, and it is night, if the thief army sets up an ambush in the southeast, rash pursuit will be defeated." ”

"Pass the order, let the soldiers keep their knives in their hands, keep their armor on their bodies, and keep enough vigilance before going to rest."

Yuan Jun's civil and military forces all praised: "The lord is wise! ”

But it was said that Yuan Shao had just fallen asleep when he returned to the camp tent, and suddenly heard a burst of war drums and shouts of killing again, so he hurriedly turned over and got up and asked the generals to gather soldiers and horses again.

After Yuan Jun was tossed, the sound of war drums actually stopped again.

Yuan Shao yawned a lot, and said with some irritability: "The thieves are just beating the drum, but they don't rob the camp, what is it for?" ”

Xu You thought for a long time, and then said: "This must be the thief's tired strategy, and if you want to disturb our army, there is no way to rest." If what I expected is correct, the thieves will do it again tonight. ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he said angrily: "The thief is so despicable, can Ziyuan have a clever plan to break it?" ”

Xu You stroked his beard and said, "This matter is easy to hear, the lord can divide the soldiers into four parts and order the vigil in turn." ”

"In this way, we can not only ensure the rest of the soldiers' rest, but also prevent the thieves from coming to rob the camp."

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and immediately adopted Xu You's strategy, dividing the soldiers into four teams and taking turns to keep vigil, while the rest of the men and horses rested in the camp.

Sure enough, it was the sound of night war drums that came and went.

It's just that there are enough soldiers and horses to guard the village, but the rest of the soldiers have their ears blocked, lying in the camp and falling asleep, without worrying about the Guanzhong soldiers robbing the camp.

Rao is like this, after Yuan Shao got up the next day, he was still yawning, and his face was very haggard. After all, it's not easy to fall asleep in a noisy situation.

Even if you plug your ears with something, it is very difficult to sleep well.

"Huh? How can there still be the sound of war drums? ”

Yuan Shao was calm, and vaguely heard the sound of war drums coming from the direction of Wu'an, and immediately couldn't help but ask.

A personal soldier came to Yuan Shao's side and said respectfully: "Since the second half of the night, there has been a faint sound of war drums in the direction of Wu'an. ”

Yuan Shao was stunned and asked, "Don't Guan Zhongbing need to sleep?" ”

The pro-soldier said: "The villain doesn't know. ”

With a big yawn again, Yuan Shao waved his hand and motioned for his soldiers to retreat, he felt a little lacking in energy.

"Presumably this is the case for the rest of the soldiers, Wu'an City is so difficult to overcome, and the thieves have already taken precautions, so it is better to let the soldiers rest for a day."

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao did not rush to wash up as before, and led his troops to attack Wu'an, but shrugged his eyelids and wanted to sleep for a while.

Fu Zhi and the others were waiting for Yuan Shao to give an order to attack the city, but they didn't want to wait left and right, so they didn't wait for the order. They came to Yuan Shao's tent hand in hand, only to find that Yuan Shao was actually asleep on top of the desk.

After fighting in the south and north for such a long time, not only the soldiers of Yuan, but even Yuan Shao himself felt deeply tired.

At this moment, a scout suddenly ran over in a panic and shouted loudly: "Lord, the soldiers in Guanzhong have withdrawn!" ”
