Chapter 338 Taking Yuanshou County
Zhang Yu and the others hid in the valley, and then Zhao Yun continued to go out with 5000 men and [-] horses.
This time Zhao Yun followed Zhang Yu's request and there was a lot of commotion. They unfurled the flags and looted food from some villages and towns along the way.
After another half day, Yan Liang and the others arrived and immediately received news from Zhao Yun.
Yan Liang led his men to chase after him, but he didn't find anything wrong.
"This Zhang Yu is too arrogant."
Yan Liang received some news that Zhang Yu and the others dared to plunder on the way to "escape", and they didn't take them seriously at all.
Yan Liang was furious all the time, leading his men to chase after him quickly.
But there is only one person and one horse on your own side, and the horses will be exhausted, and the speed will drop if they don't rest, and the rest will waste time.
But this time Zhao Yun's speed was not fast, because they also harassed many villages and towns along the way, and even wanted to hit the county seat.
Yan Liang quickly chased after him.
Half a day after Yan Liang and the others passed by, Zhang Yu and the others had already slept and had enough rest.
"Let's go, let's go back, Yan Liang is so mad that he wants to surround us."
Zhang Yu and the others came out at night, and then went back along the previous road.
After rushing all night, Zhang Yu and the others found a place to hide again at dawn.
At this time, Yan Liang and the others were three days away from Zhang Yu and the others.
After resting for a day, Zhang Yu and the others set off again.
"Master, why are we back here in Yuanshou County?" Dian Wei asked.
Zhang Yu called Dian Wei and said to Huang Zhong: "This is our target, Yuanshou County. We will attack the county seat at dawn and directly attack a gate violently. This time they are unprepared and can defeat them in half an hour. "
Dian Wei was gearing up happily, and Huang Zhong was also beaming.
"Okay, let's go take a rest. We will attack before dawn and take Yuanshou County within half an hour." Zhang Yu said.
Huang Zhong clasped his fists to arrange, and then Dian Wei also went happily.
Before dawn, about two hours before dawn, Zhang Yu and the others had assembled.
"I order to attack Yuanshou County, regardless of priority, to attack Ximen together, and the city must be captured within half an hour." Zhang Yu ordered.
Soon, the team set off.
At this time, the guards in Yuanshou County were very relaxed, because Zhang Yu had just been driven away, and tens of thousands of his own troops were chasing Zhang Yu and the others.
According to the prefect Hu Feng's words, it is impossible for Zhang Yu to come back.
But Zhang Yu came back and was already near the foot of Yuanshou County.
When Zhang Yu and the others arrived two miles outside the city, they were still found.
"Okay, the enemy didn't find out, it's our good opportunity." Zhang Yu ordered: "Attack from all fronts."
More than 1 horses started running towards the city.
The distance of two miles can be reached within a few minutes by the horses running.
The garrison army in a daze heard the sound of war horses.
"The generals have returned, Zhang Yu's army must have been wiped out."
"The two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou are formidable."
"In the middle of the night, don't let me sleep."
"The general should come and ask us to open the door."
The bewildered defenders thought they were their own when they heard the sound of the war horse, and didn't even look at it.
In fact, I don't blame them. Since Zhang Yu and the others left, the prefect Hu Feng didn't care. The army guarding the city originally had more than 3000 people, and there were only a few hundred people on duty at night.
"kill."
Approaching the city wall, Zhang Yu yelled loudly, and then led his men to kill him.
"Where did the shouting come from?"
"Not good, enemy attack."
The city defenders finally reacted, but it was too late, Zhang Yu and the others had already started attacking.
More than 1 arrows shot up into the sky and headed towards the city.
Many of the defenders on the city hurriedly stood up to resist, but when they stood up the arrow array had already arrived and killed them all.
Yes, almost all the defenders on the top of the city were killed.
For those hundreds of people, under the terrifying attack of the dense arrow formation, there is no chance for them to survive.
If they had prepared early, hid under the battlements, or resisted with shields, they might have survived, but they had no preparations. This Yuanshou County was not a big city, and the city head was only so long. Under the attack of the dense arrow formation, where could they survive? Have a place to hide.
There was no resistance at the top of the city, so Zhang Yu ordered his soldiers to attack the city gate.
At night, the loud noise was heard by the whole city, and it woke them all up immediately.
"Impossible, impossible, how could Zhang Yu come back?" Hu Feng, who was pulled up by the soldiers, said with a shocked look on his face.
"Master Taishou, run quickly, or it will be too late." The guard said.
"No, gather troops and horses to block it immediately. General Yan Liang and the others will come back immediately, right away." Hu Feng didn't know if he was still asleep, or he was thinking that Yan Liang and the others could come back to rescue him and keep his position as prefect.
If he runs away, it is very likely that the position of governor will be gone.
"Bang~"
There was a loud bang at the city gate, and Zhang Yu and the others knocked down the city gate, and they rushed in.
"Evil came to control a few city gates, Han Sheng went to control the barracks, and the others followed me to the county guard's mansion." After entering the city, Zhang Yu immediately ordered.
Zhang Yu led people to kill him, and Hu Feng was arrested by Zhang Yu's men not far from the county guard's mansion.
It was still dark at this time, and there were no common people on the street, as long as all the people outside were arrested, it would be right.
After some arrests, Zhang Yu took control of the city.
"My lord, we found a large amount of grain and grass in the warehouse. According to the soldiers in the city, it is for Yan Liangwen Chou and the others to use." Huang Zhong came over and reported.
"Haha, this is an advantage for us. When Yan Liang comes back, he will be furious to death." Zhang Yu said happily.
"As usual, I ransacked all the families in the city, which will give Yuan Shao a headache." Zhang Yu said.
This is a county town, the place is not small, and there are many rich households in the city.
"This Jizhou is really rich. I really envy Yuan Shao. He is so fucking rich." Zhang Yu personally took people to the county treasury, and saw a lot of money in the treasury.
There are hundreds of catties of gold and silver in pieces, and there are copper coins piled up like hills.
In this era, although gold and silver were not circulating currencies, they were still valuable items and could be used among nobles.
Of course Zhang Yu would not be polite and took everything away.
"Han Sheng, our soldiers and horses are getting fewer and fewer. After entering Jizhou, although the losses were small, more than 2000 soldiers were killed. We might as well recruit on the spot and strengthen ourselves." Zhang Yu asked Huang Zhong for his opinion after thinking about it. .
After thinking about it, Huang Zhong said: "My lord, now we are fighting continuously. The army is moving very quickly. We are recruiting new soldiers and there is no time to train. This will seriously reduce our combat effectiveness."
"Of course I have also considered this point. The recruited soldiers will not participate in the battle. We only need to let them be suspicious soldiers to confuse the enemy. In addition, we can train when we have time. It is also possible to fight with the wind." Zhang Yu said.
