Chapter 965: Besieging Gao Tang
At two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, a guard came to report that Xu Huang's department had crossed the river safely.
With the reinforcements of Xu Huang's troops on the other side of the river, even if the Montenegrin Army reorganizes a large army to attack, it will be enough to resist.
And in the morning, the casualties of Zhang He's department and Wenchou's department were also sent to Zhao Feng.
Among them, more than 3,000 people were killed in the Zhang He Division, and more than 1,500 people were killed in the Wenchou Division.
Killed more than 7,000 Montenegrin troops.
The reason why the Montenegrin army died more than Zhao Feng was mainly because the Montenegrin army was defeated and retreated, and the number of dead people was increased on the way to defeat.
In addition, if it is not the main task of Zhang He and Wen Chou, it is to protect Xu Huang's troops to cross the river safely.
Keep chasing and killing, and the results can be expanded!
Early the next morning, Zhao Feng led the Tiger Battalion, that is, the infantry battalion, to start crossing the river.
Because of yesterday's defeat, the Montenegrin army did not come to harass today.
After that, Lu Su's troops, Zhao Feng's Chinese army, and Zhongshan Wang's lieutenant troops crossed the river at the same time.
With enough troops on the other side of the river to garrison, in the afternoon all the boats were gathered and Hua Xiong's cavalry department, Zhao Feng's leopard battalion, and war horses crossed the river together.
After all the troops crossed the river, Zhao Feng set up camp near the ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River.
At noon the next day.
Lu Su ran into the big tent of the Chinese army and waved at Zhao Feng: "Enlighten the lord!" ”
"The sentry cavalry came to report that the Black Mountain Military Headquarters near Gaotang was all stationed in Gaotang."
Zhao Feng nodded: "Do you know how many people there are in the Black Mountain Army near Gaotang?" ”
Lu Su shook his head: "There is no way to know the exact number of people. ”
"According to the information found, on the whole, the defenders near Gaotang should be around 15,000 people."
"The day before yesterday, when we crossed the river to resist our army, I was killed by Zhang Duwei and Wen Duwei, and more than 7,000 people were killed."
"Now the guards of Gaotang should also be more than 7,000 people!"
After Zhao Feng heard this, he groaned.
Gaotang is just an ordinary county seat, the city wall is about three zhang high, and there are only two city gates.
Therefore, there are more than 7,000 people stationed in Gaotang, almost a city gate, with a garrison of 3,500.
If you count the original number of county soldiers in Gaotang, there should be about 4,000 people at a city gate.
For an ordinary county, it's already quite a lot!
Zhao Feng pondered for a long time: "Inform Zhang He and Wen Chou, let them go to my Chinese army, select soldiers, and replenish the establishment." ”
"The Chinese army was selected like this, and it is estimated that there are not many people left, and the remaining Chinese army will be allocated to you."
"In addition, the former captain of the King of Zhongshan will also be allocated to Xu Huang."
Lu Su waved at Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”
Then he asked: "After the redivision of forces, how is the lord going to deal with Gao Tang?" ”
Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "I intend to let Zhang He lead his troops to surround the north gate of Gaotang." ”
"I will lead the personal guards, stationed in the rear of Zhang He's department, and can support at any time."
"Let Wen Chou lead the headquarters and besiege the southern gate of Gaotang."
"Xu Huang will lead the army of the headquarters and be stationed in the southeast of Gaotang, and he can respond to the Wenchou Department at any time."
Zhao Feng's arrangement looked as if he had surrounded Gao Tang with 10,000 soldiers.
But in fact, Zhao Feng's personal guards and Xu Huang's army were all on the side.
After all, after successfully crossing the river, Zhao Feng is now not only under Gaotang City, but also facing other Montenegrin troops, and will send troops to reinforce him.
Zhao Feng's subordinates now seem to be hiding behind, but once there is an accident in the front army, Zhao Feng's location is to ensure that the army can successfully cross the river and return to the north of the Yellow River.
In addition, to prevent the Montenegrin Army, a small force will be sent to sabotage the ships near the ferry.
Otherwise, Zhao Feng's army will not only have a difficult situation to retreat in the future, but also a crisis of food shortage.
After saying his opinion, Zhao Feng asked, "What does Zijing think?" ”
Lu Su pondered for a while: "The lord's arrangement is very proper, Su has no opinion." ”
Then the conversation changed: "Each part has corresponding arrangements, but General Hua's cavalry has no arrangements. ”
Zhao Feng nodded: "Huaxiong's department, I didn't think of how to arrange it for a while. ”
"Does Zijing have any suggestions?"
Lu Su pondered for a moment: "General Hua's department can lead the cavalry to inspect the area of Luoyin and Zhu'a." ”
"First, it can prevent the Montenegrin Army from sending reinforcements to Gaotang and reduce the crisis of our army."
"Second, the Gaotang defenders can cut off the idea of abandoning the city and breaking through."
"This way you can force Gao Tang to surrender earlier!"
"In addition, the lord can also let out the rumors, just say that Gao Tang Ling has surrendered."
After hearing this, Zhao Feng thought for a while, and then nodded: "Just according to what Zijing said!" ”
"Tell the order."
Lu Su waved at Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”
After speaking, he withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.
Zhao Feng knew that Lu Su's approach was actually to provoke the relationship between Gao Tangling and Zhang Yan.
After all, except for Banxian County and Yici, the rest of the counties in Pingyuan County all surrendered to Zhao Feng.
So it is not too surprising that Gao Tang surrendered.
Even if Gao Tang Ling did not surrender, Gao Tang Ling could not send soldiers back to inform Zhang Yan.
Because of the area from Luoyin to Zhu'a, there are Huaxiong's cavalry patrolling, which will obviously intercept the soldiers sent by Gao Tang Ling.
Under pressure from all sides, maybe the Gaotang County Order will surrender directly.
The reason why Zhao Feng wanted to storm the plain at the beginning was mainly because he was worried that Lu Bu would recruit Gao Shun back.
Now that Gao Shun has been transferred to Youzhou, Zhao Feng is not too anxious.
Of course, the main thing is that Zhao Feng killed too many soldiers in the storming of the plains and forcibly crossing the Yellow River.
Zhao Feng's current infantry is less than 30,000, and it can only be slowly consumed.
Time passes slowly.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
this day.
Lu Su hurriedly ran into the big tent of the Chinese army and waved at Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi." ”
"News came back from Youzhou, General Zhao led General Zhou, General Taishi, General Bao, and Gao Shun to unite with Gongsun Zhan's department."
"In the area of Yangxiang Township, Zhuo County, defeat Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou, Xian Yuyin and others."
"Among them, Qi Zhou was beheaded by Gongsun Zhan, Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin, and was captured by General Zhao and others."
"Yan Rou led the Xianbei army and retreated to the area of Beiping County."
"King Wuhuan Cliff, lead the Wuhuan army and retreat to Shanggu County."
Zhao Feng nodded and motioned for Lu Su to continue.
After Lu Su got the signal, he continued: "There is news from Yanzhou. ”
"Cao Cao led an army of 150,000 to the west to conquer Yuan Shao."
"There is also news that Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu were detained by Yuan Shao on the way north."
Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "Yuan Shao has just defeated Li Dao not long ago. ”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand Cao Cao's 150,000 army!"
"You can't let Cao Cao continue to be bigger!"
