Chapter 596

(Liaoxi county should be changed to youbeiping county)

Zhang Yu arranged everything and sent several orders to other troops. Then he waited for the opportunity.

The most important thing is the 15000 troops.

This army came out of Pinggu County. Zhang Yu had sent people to investigate before. There were only 50000 troops in the county.

Although 50000 troops are not a lot, with the careful defense of the county, it's no problem to block Zhang Yu for a few days. Within a few days, the surrounding soldiers and horses come to support, and it's very difficult to break through the county.

But now, with 15000 troops coming out of the city, as long as we eat this army, there will be only 35000 garrison in the city, and it will be much easier to attack the county.

Pinggu County, Yuan Shao's key defense place, was once the place where Zhang Yu confronted with hundreds of thousands of his troops, so Yuan Shao carefully arranged it.

Today, they have accumulated a large number of military materials here as a base for attack.

If Zhang Yu breaks down here, Yan Liang's 200000 troops will lose supplies, and then they will be in danger.

Zhang Yu's target is Pinggu County, where the invasion will begin.

Pinggu County used to be a small county, but it was reinforced after Yuan's army moved in.

There used to be 50000 garrisons in it. It's no problem to hold them for a few days until they are supported, but now 15000 troops are escorting food and grass.

Naturally, Zhang Yu will not miss such an opportunity.

"Hansheng, you go to ambush in front of us. One day later, the rest of the army will surround the county with me. We will both fight at the same time, and we won't give them a chance to react." Zhang Yu said.

When the troops escorting the grain and grass are far away, Zhang Yu will start again.

Zhang Yu also carefully considered that he would fight in a day's time. Although time is precious, several places are fighting at the same time.

But there are still some difficulties in eating Yan Liang's 200000 strong army.

Zhang Yu wants the retreating army of youbeiping county to join the army of Liaoxi county. With the temporary conscription of the militia, Zhang Yu's two counties can join 80000 troops.

There were 80000 troops, enough to disperse part of Yan Liang's army.

When the news of Zhang Yu's attack on their rear reaches Yan Liang, Yan Liang is bound to retreat urgently, and then the army of western Liaoning will pursue him.

After 80000 troops pursued, Yan Liang had to leave tens of thousands of troops to stop.

In this way, Zhang Yu's troops are scattered, so they have more opportunities.

Huang Zhongxian set out to ambush ahead.

The 15000 escorting troops are not very powerful. Facing Huang Zhong's 50000 heavy cavalry, they certainly don't have much resistance.

If it wasn't for the heavy cavalry, Zhang Yu wouldn't send Huang Zhong to attack the city. It's like killing a chicken with an ox knife.

One day later, Zhang Yu came out of their hiding place and quietly killed Pinggu County.

At this time, Pinggu County was very peaceful, because the whole right Beiping County fell, surrounded by its own territory, and Pinggu County became its own hinterland instead of the front line.

From the front line to the hinterland, this makes a great change in the defensive psychology.

If it had not been for this, they would not have sent 15000 troops to escort food and grass.

This will greatly weaken the defense in the city.

But now they don't care that much.

"Ha ha, the burden of my heart can finally be put down. As a general, I was worried about Zhang Yu's heavy soldiers all day long."

Xiefu, the general of Pinggu County, said after drinking wine with his subordinates.

"Yes, general, there were tens of thousands of enemy troops in front of us before. Who knows when they will attack us? We are on duty every day and haven't had a drink for a long time." Said a deputy.

The pressure of the garrison in Pinggu County is really great. Before, they didn't dare to relax, for fear that Zhang Yu would sneak attack.

But now they don't have this worry, because Zhang Yu has no army to sneak attack.

The most important thing is that even right Beiping county was attacked by them.

The front line has become the hinterland, which has changed so much that they are relaxed all of a sudden.

So, they drink together and relax together.

Usually, they don't dare to drink. Yuan Shao is strict and strict here. No one dares to mess around.

But this time, no one cares about them. When the army goes to the front line, they just need to ensure the supply of the army.

When there are no enemies around, they drink.

But what Xie Fu doesn't know is that there are already enemies around. Zhang Yu and his army are close to them, waiting to fight.

"It's all hidden. Seeing that they are so lax, this battle should not be difficult." Zhang Yu they easily close to the county more than ten miles, hiding in a place.

"Lord, just push it. They must have no defense." Said dianway.

What Dian Wei said is not unreasonable. Zhang Yu sent people to investigate and found that they really didn't guard against it. However, for the sake of caution, Zhang Yu planned to launch an attack after dark and try to capture the city in two days.

With more than 30000 troops, it is not difficult for Zhang Yu to attack Pinggu County in two days at the risk of casualties.

The army lurked for more than two hours, and the sky slowly darkened.

In Pinggu County, Xie Fu's banquet has been going on all the time. In the past, there were other main fighting troops. Although he was a garrison general, there were a lot of people in charge of him. Now the troops are out, and he is the biggest one here.

Only at this time did he dare to call his deputy to drink.

"Happy, happy." Several people have been drinking too much, and the more they drink, the happier they are.

"Again, don't get drunk tonight."

"Yes, who dares to be lazy tonight? I won't drink with him any more."

A few people began to drink again. As for duty, it did not exist. There were no enemies around. What duty did they go to.

Don't mention these generals. Many soldiers at the bottom have deserted.

There are soldiers on the top of the city. They have no way to be on duty. The soldiers who are not on duty either go out to play or sleep in the barracks.

The officials on the head didn't care about them. Why are they so serious? Originally, the discipline of the garrison was general. No one cared about it. Of course, they had to herd sheep.

"Heaven helps me, but yuan Jun's vigilance is so poor." Zhang Yu and they were not found five miles away.

"Change the battle plan, surprise the whole army, break the city tonight."

Zhang Yu saw the opportunity, decisively ordered a surprise attack.
