Chapter 701

After the siege equipment entered the attack area, it began to attack the city. At this time, the prisoners of Hedong army, who had been ready to fill the river, carried the prepared bags and rushed to the moat of Anyi city. Although they were captured to fill the river, Huangfu Chaobo didn't think of them as cannon fodder. The shield man who guarded them had been ready for a long time. With an order, he raised his shield to protect the prisoners below.

At the same time, all kinds of equipment at the head of the city also began to shoot against the attacking equipment at the bottom of the city. On both sides, you come and go, arrows and boulders flying in the air, and all kinds of shouts and screams also sounded up and down the city wall.

Ten thousand captured soldiers were divided into ten waves and assigned to three sides to fill the river in turn. It took one day and nearly 3000 people were lost. Finally, more than ten siege channels were filled in each moat of the three walls. After this day's war, the Sizhou army also lost more than 1000 people. There were no 300 people in the war, and more than 200 people were seriously injured. The remaining 500 people were slightly injured to varying degrees.

The next day, the really fierce ant siege war began. After the ant attack began, the prisoners could no longer use them in the siege, so Zhao Yun sent them to cut down trees to assist the auxiliary soldiers and craftsmen of the rear camp in making all kinds of equipment.

With the help of a lot of equipment, the loss of siege was slightly reduced, but after three days of fighting, there were still nearly ten thousand casualties, which was not the most depressing. What made Huangfu Chaobo most depressed and puzzled was that every time the soldiers attacked the city wall, they could not hold the city for a long time. As a result, in the past three days, they attacked the city several times and were driven down by the Hedong army.

In Zhao Yun's later understanding, they found that there seemed to be a strong group of soldiers in Hedong city. Although there were not many, they were always able to stabilize the situation of the city at the critical moment, and the soldiers who attacked the city were driven down.

Huangfu Chaobo meant to send soldiers from the barracks or the pro guard camp to attack for a try, but Zhao Yun and Pang Tong refused. Because now the soldiers in the city have not lost their spirit, they will send their own strongest soldiers, which will not help the war situation. Maybe they will lose their elite in the city.

After discussing with the public, Pang Tong proposed the strategy of dividing forces. Since Anyi city could not be captured in a short time, some soldiers and horses would be left to monitor Anyi city's soldiers and horses, and some soldiers and horses would be separated from the camp to capture all the cities around Anyi first. At that time, a lonely city would be left, so it would not be able to defend Anyi city for a long time.

Pang Tong's proposal was approved by Zhao Yun's generals. After a night's rest, the army was divided into three groups. Zhao Yun led Baima Yicong and a school's soldiers, and Yang Feng led 15000 guards. A total of 25000 troops crossed the river and attacked Wenxi northward. Su Zhi and zuojiao led 10000 soldiers and 15000 guards, bypassing Anyi city and attacking Yi County westward. In order to attack the necessary equipment, the two departments also took 5000 auxiliary soldiers and prisoners.

The rest were under the command of Huangfu Chaobo and besieged Anyi city. Although there were only 50000 troops left in the camp, there were 10000 soldiers from Huangfu Chaobo, 35000 soldiers from one school, and tens of thousands of wounded and auxiliary soldiers in the camp. After a few days of war, the soldiers and horses in Anyi city were not much damaged, but there were only less than 40000 troops. In addition, there were no cavalry, so all the people in Sizhou were not afraid of the actions of the army in the city.

On the contrary, we all thought that it would be better if the Hedong army could go out of the city to attack their own camp. However, for the sake of safety, Huangfu Chaobo still ordered he ruolong's golden sculptures to go up to heaven from time to time to inspect the situation around Anyi. Fortunately, two days after the division, there was no sign of the activities of most soldiers and horses in Hedong.

On the third day after the division, Zhao Yun sent someone back to report that the army had arrived at the foot of Wenxi city and began to fill the river for the attack tomorrow. But Su Zhibu didn't arrive at the foot of Yi's city until the evening of the third day, preparing to fill the river tomorrow. It is estimated that he can attack the city the day after tomorrow.

However, Huangfu Chaobo didn't care about it. Since jindiao didn't find any abnormality, it should be implemented according to the established plan. However, when Huangfu Chaobo gave Pang Tong the information returned by the two generals, he watched the two pieces of information fall into meditation.

Huangfu Chaobo felt very strange and asked, "what's wrong with Shiyuan?"

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "there's nothing wrong."

"What about Shiyuan?"

"It's nothing wrong that makes Tong feel strange. Lord, is Jiang Pei so unpopular in Hedong? No matter it is the county town or the county town under the rule, there is no one to help when our army attacks it! "

Huangfu Chaobo was stunned and said, "but no exception has been found, no matter it's Chihou or jindiao."

"No abnormality is the biggest abnormality!" Pang Tong murmured to himself. After a long time, he got up and saluted Huangfu Chaobo. He said with a straight face: "Lord, from tomorrow on, please order that the range of warning against Marquis be extended to 50 Li, and at the same time, he ruolong's golden carving be extended to 200 Li. They also ordered the remaining generals to strengthen the defense of the camp. At the same time, they dispatched a group of soldiers to reinforce the floating bridge where General Zhao crossed the river a few days ago and protect it closely. Someone always feels as if something has been left out. "

"Oh, is that necessary?"

"Be careful not to make a big mistake..."After listening to Pang Tong's words, Huangfu Chaobo was stunned, but he also accepted his suggestion and arranged what he said seriously.

The next morning, the left behind officers will act according to his arrangement. Huyandu divided five thousand cavalry into two thousand groups, with 100 people as a team, and 20 teams of Tujue cavalry warned back and forth within 50 Li around the camp.

The left school led a school guard to the north of the camp and came to the floating bridge where Zhao yunbu crossed the river a few days ago. He escorted 2000 auxiliary soldiers and prisoners to reinforce the floating bridge. Then he built a camp at each end of the floating bridge and arranged 5000 soldiers in two camps to protect the safety of the floating bridge.

The generals in the camp reinforced the camp and ordered the soldiers to strengthen their guard.

In the next two days, although Huangfu Chaobo was said to be suspicious by Pang Tong, fortunately, nothing happened. Neither the Tujia soldiers of huyandu nor the gold carving of he ruolong found anything abnormal, which made Huangfu Chaobo very relieved, but Pang Tong's look was more and more suspicious.

However, it was Zhao Yun and Su Zhi who made progress. It must be Zhao yunbu who has made rapid progress. Although he has 5000 cavalry, Su Zhi is much better at Zhao Yun's ability and experience. Therefore, when attacking the county, the difference between the two was reflected.
