Guanzicheng is located on a small piece of flat land in the Yanshan Mountains, with vast mountains in front and the passage into western Liaoning behind. Gongsun Zan can be surrounded here, which shows that he has traveled a long way. Qiu Liju's army
After arriving, Guanzi City was completely surrounded.
It is ridiculous to say that the Han army under Zhang Chun's command was only ten thousand, but there were fifty or sixty thousand miscellaneous men. He mainly stationed the army in the west and east of Guanzi City, and the troops in the south and north were relatively weak.
As long as Gongsun Zan's escape back to Han is blocked, there is no fear of him flying into the sky.
But Gongsun Zan was extremely stubborn and refused to go to the other three roads. He was eager to run to the east. The east road was wide and could accommodate a large army. It was also the fastest road into Han Dynasty. Both sides were in Guanzi City.
Several battles broke out in the east. Gongsun Zan's army lost a lot of horses and its impact was greatly weakened. Although it killed many enemies, it was never able to break out.
Tactically, Gongsun Zan won, but strategically, he was completely defeated. The army consumed a lot of arrows and supplies, but failed to achieve its goal of breakthrough. The morale in the city inevitably weakened. What's even more terrifying is
Yes, most of the food they brought with them was also lost, and the food supply in the city was about to run out.
During this period, Zhang Chun also commanded soldiers and horses to launch an siege. After hundreds of people were killed by strong bows and crossbows, he wisely gave up the idea. The Han army has always been famous for its crossbows, and he did not have any.
Too much armor, and attacking a city will only result in the loss of troops and horses.
Of course, now Gongsun Zan has no supplies, and he is using one arrow at a time. As long as he uses up the opponent's arrows with all his strength, he can win in the end. But people are not steel. Not only do they have to eat, they will still rebel. If
He dared to force his soldiers to fill the ravine, but he was afraid that his head would be chopped off by the people below within a few days.
Zhang Chun could not attack the city, and Gongsun Zan could not break out. The two sides had no choice but to do anything, and the situation became a stalemate.
For Gongsun Zan, it was a good thing that wounded soldiers died every day. At least there was one less mouth to eat. However, the morale in the city was really low, and he had to patrol the city day and night to ensure that there would be no large-scale escapes.
.For Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju, things are not good either. They have more troops, but they also have more mouths to eat.
Although the Hu people could drive cattle and sheep everywhere, how much pasture would be needed to support hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep? After a month or two of siege, the ground nearby was gnawed bare. When Chen Cheng led
When the two cavalrymen looked down from the mountainside, they saw countless tattered tents and large tracts of bare ground.
A dozen simple camps were built near Guanzi City. Trenches were dug outside the camps and fences were erected, but they were not very neat. However, lack of strictness also had its advantages. Chen Cheng looked at it for a while.
, Leng didn't see where the general's big tent was. In some places further outside, the tents were not arranged neatly at all. It could only be seen that many tribes were united together.
He observed carefully, and when he saw many cows and horses huddled together to drink water by a small river, he had a good idea in his mind. Good idea? Chen Cheng suddenly thought of something else. It is said that every bad idea has its own consequences.
It looks like a good idea until it goes sour.
Ah, bah, bah, bah! Chen Cheng spat on the ground. He thought to himself: How could our idea turn sour? Even if it does... it must be the world's fault, and it cannot be blamed on me!
He led the cavalry all the way back and found the army being repaired in a valley. The Hu people under Qiu Liju were willing to go east to graze, and few people went into the mountains. The cavalry entered with their horses.
At the military camp, Chen Cheng got off his horse and walked to Tian Yu's side.
"How is the situation?" Tian Yu's beard has grown longer, and his face looks tired, but his eyes are getting brighter. He asked in a deep voice: "Can Guan Zicheng still persist?"
Chen Cheng said: "The situation is not bad. The barbarians will not attack the city. They will be unable to do anything about Guanzi City for a while."
A smile appeared on Tian Yu's face and he said: "That's good. Wen Zheng, how should we advance the army?"
Chen Cheng said: "Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. How about calling all the captains to discuss it together?"
Tian Yu nodded and said, "It's exactly what I want."
Soon, four captains arrived. These officers were all heroes from Youzhou. They were grateful for Gongsun Zan's kindness, so they followed Tian Yu to rescue Guanzicheng regardless of life or death. Chen Cheng broke a branch and dropped it on the ground.
The terrain around Guanzi City was roughly drawn, and several circles were drawn to represent the places where enemy troops gathered.
"This is Guanzi City," Chen Cheng clicked on the square and said, "These places are enemy camps. There are thirty to twenty thousand people in the military camps, and there are tens of thousands of people outside. This is a river. I just saw
There are a lot of enemy troops, and they have to go to this river to get water every day, so there are several camps along the river. Because it is far away from the city, most of the people in the camps are old and weak."
Tian Yu and several captains all looked at the ground with serious expressions, their eyes following the branches in Chen Cheng's hands. This was a major matter related to the life and death of more than a thousand of them, and there was no room for any negligence.
Chen Cheng continued: "I intend to set up camp here."
He stretched out his hand and clicked on a place on the west side of the river, and said: "This place is about ten miles away from the river. The terrain is difficult, there is running water on the mountain, and there is a mountain peak in front, which can block the view below. Let's chop some wood first and prepare.
Let's set up the camp while it's getting dark. If we are discovered during the day the next day, we will hold on here to divert the enemy's main force and create a chance for the prefect to break through. If we are not discovered, that would be better.
"
Chen Cheng moved the branches to the river and said: "If we are not discovered, we will rest for the whole day. In the early morning, I will lead 30 people to sneak into the enemy camp along the river and set fire to it. Colonel Tian and others are outside,
Wait until daybreak to rob the enemy's cattle and sheep. Even if you can't take them away, break them up and leave them in a hurry."
Tian Yu stared at the graphics on the ground for a while and said, "If you are not discovered, how about you let me lead people to sneak in, and Wen Zheng, you lead the troops outside?"
Chen Cheng threw down the branch and said with a smile: "The captain is the leader of an army, how can he personally lead the troops into death? Let me do this vanguard task."
Tian Yu thought for a while and thought to himself: If we set up a stronghold in front of the enemy, how could we not be discovered?
So he stopped discussing the issue and asked several other captains, "Do you have any suggestions?"
Several captains were promoted because of their bravery in combat. They were all good at martial arts, but they didn't have any good opinions on tactical issues. They looked at each other and said together: "We will do what the captain tells us."
alright."
Tian Yu didn't take it seriously. It was normal for low-level officers and soldiers to be illiterate. It was good to be able to complete orders. It was extremely difficult for them to come up with countermeasures. He had long been used to this. After thinking about it,
He asked Chen Cheng again: "Why don't you go in and join the Zhonglang general?"
Because Gongsun Zan defeated Zhang Ju, he was named Zhonglang General by the imperial court, so Tian Yu also called him Zhonglang General.
Chen Cheng said: "Most of the enemy's defenses are facing Guanzi City. It's easy to get in when they are not prepared. But there are tens of thousands of troops in the city. It is estimated that they are short of soldiers, weapons, and horses, so it will be difficult to fight out. We are here.
In order to rescue the prefect, what will happen after we fight in? On the contrary, it will consume the food and grass in the city. In a short time, the state will no longer be able to send reinforcements."
Tian Yu thought about it and felt that this idea really seemed like a bad idea, but even if it was a bad idea, no matter how bad it was, it wouldn't be that bad. At most, the whole army would be wiped out, so he agreed with Chen Cheng's opinion.
The plan was decided, and the army began to move in an orderly manner. Tian Yu led his men to cut down trees at the foot of the mountain, preparing to set up a camp at the selected location during the night. Chen Cheng set off first, leading a dozen soldiers and abandoning his horses.
Armed with a crossbow, dagger, and throwing spear, we headed toward the mountain ahead.
He observed for a long time during the day, and there was a faint smoke on the top of the mountain. It was probably the enemy's spies on the top of the hill who were lighting fires. As long as the spies on the top were killed, the enemy's reaction speed could be greatly delayed. He had previously sent all
The skill points are all added to skills that can directly increase combat effectiveness. None of the auxiliary skills such as "Reconnaissance" and "Guide" are used. Therefore, the range displayed on the mini map is very limited. It reaches the foot of the mountain and is far away from the enemy.
Less than one kilometer away, four small red dots were displayed on the small map in the upper right corner of the virtual screen.
If there were only four people, the matter would be easier to handle. What Chen Cheng was most afraid of was that if dozens of people were released on the mountain, even if they could kill all the enemies, they might not be able to stop them from spreading the news. He breathed a sigh of relief.
, whispered to the soldiers on the side: "Come three people and follow me. The others will be on guard on both sides and be careful not to be discovered."
He put away his bow and arrows, carried two throwing spears on his back, held the ring-head knife in his mouth, and climbed up on his hands and feet. The three men who followed him followed his example, and also held the knives in their mouths and followed his movements.
The moving trajectory caught up.
This mountain peak is not too high, only more than a hundred meters above the ground, so the temperature above is not much lower than on the ground. Four Wuhuan people wearing sheepskins were hiding in a corner to avoid the wind, bored and helpless.
Catch bugs and ants on the ground, put them in your mouth, and make a clicking sound.
They were ordered to come to the mountain to watch for wind. If they found Han troops, they would light cigarettes during the day and set fires at night. A few poisonous smoke balls rolled out of wolf dung were placed nearby, within easy reach. At the beginning, they were relatively
I inspected carefully. It had been more than a month, and there was not even a hair, so I wrote it down.
After a month of siege, the morale of the people in the city is low, and the people outside the city are also exhausted. Their rations have been reduced again and again, and now they are dizzy with hunger every day, and they cannot leave their posts without permission to hunt, so they have to lie down on the ground.
corpse, so that the stomach will not get hungry so quickly.
When several people were lying on the ground and groaning, the sound of breaking through the air was heard from behind the rocks. Chen Cheng inserted the knife into the ground, holding a throwing spear in his left hand. With a wave of his right hand, a black shadow broke through the air, and the throwing spear had already pierced into a
He then put the throwing spear in his left hand into his right hand and threw it again.
Two spears were thrown and two Wuhuan men were killed. He pulled out the knife with his backhand and was about to rush forward for a hand-to-hand fight. The bow string around him vibrated and three crossbow arrows flew out, killing the two Wuhuan men who jumped up from the ground while grabbing the spears and bows.
The Huan people shot them down. Several Wuhuan people were not completely dead for a while. They fell to the ground and screamed, and their voices were carried along the wind.
Chen Cheng quickly ran to the Wuhuan people and slashed them several times, turning them into corpses and making no sound anymore. The three soldiers behind him dropped their crossbows, picked up the Huanshou sword and rushed over.
As the Wuhuan soldiers on the opposite side slashed at them until they were bloody and bloody, Chen Cheng shouted several times in a low voice before the soldiers stopped breathing heavily.
"Stop cutting it, it's dead!"
While Chen Cheng was talking, he poked his head out. On the grass below, Hu people were coming and going, but no one looked up the mountain. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, we are far away here, so we can't hear from below."
your turn........."
He pointed at a random person and said: "Go back and tell Captain Tian that we have killed the enemy's sentry, but we don't know how long it will take for them to change shifts. Let Captain Tian hurry up."
As soon as the soldier left, Chen Cheng said to the other two people: "You go contact the other people and ask them to go back first. I'll be here to watch."
One of the soldiers said: "Isn't this bad? What if the enemy is killed?"
"Hey," Chen Cheng fully drew the strong bow he had taken out at some point, and said, "With our shooting skills, if one thousand come, one thousand will die!"
The two soldiers were surprised. When they rushed up, they clearly didn't have bows and arrows. Where did they get them?
They looked at each other and wisely did not ask any further questions, but quietly retreated along the mountain road.
Chen Cheng opened the system screen and saw that the red and green dots on the mini-map had disappeared. He took out the shovel from the "inventory" and dug a hole, preparing to bury the four Wuhuan corpses in it. His
He was very strong, and when he shoved the shovel down, he found a big hole, and he dug the hole in two or three strokes.
Before throwing the bodies in, he thought for a moment and peeled off the stinky sheepskins from their bodies. Three of them were thrown into the wooden box and put away, and the remaining one was put on himself. Sheepskin jacket
I don’t know how long it has been since it was washed. Maybe it has never been washed since it was changed from sheepskin to a coat. It has a strong smell and odor, and there is a lot of greasiness and some unknown ingredients.
You can smell the smell from a few meters away.
Chen Cheng was clean by nature, but he didn't care much at this time. He put on the sheepskin jacket without changing his expression. Then, he leaned on the rock and squinted comfortably. Because of the plug-in, he didn't need to
Keep your eyes wide open and look carefully. As long as an enemy enters within one kilometer, he will be discovered. It is much more reliable than looking with your eyes.
