Chapter 1281

As Guo Jia expected, the Handan guard general left school in Luoyang received the warning, he has found the wrong. Two days ago, he received a warning from Luoyang. He immediately sent hundreds of cavalry patrols to inspect the situation around Handan. However, of the 200 patrols sent last night, the 100 cavalry in the West and South returned to the city this morning, but none of the 50 cavalry in the north and East returned.

So left school immediately sent 100 cavalry to the East and North, and ordered them to divide into several waves separated by several miles. Sure enough, in the afternoon, less than 10 cavalry of 200 cavalry returned to the city. The news was that at least 20000 to 30000 Zhao cavalry were found in the northeast, including the King's flag of Lv Bu, king of Zhao.

After receiving the news, the left school immediately ordered the whole city to guard, and then arranged soldiers to warn the other city passes of Wei County while personally leading them to the north wall of Handan.

An hour later, in the northeast of Handan City, there were nearly 100000 enemy troops in the dark.

Looking at the enemy troops slowly approaching under the city, the Tang soldiers above Handan city were silent. Handan city was originally an important city for the Tang Dynasty to defend the Wei state. Originally, there were ten thousand soldiers from the left school and one school guard in the city. After a series of adjustments, Huangfu Chaobo added another school of soldiers. However, 5000 soldiers were not in Handan City, but distributed in Wu'an, fukouguan, Shexian and wuzhishanguan around Handan.

After the Tang Dynasty occupied Shangdang last year, Zhao Yun wrote to the court and adjusted his troops. Two thousand soldiers from Shexian county and wuzhishanguan were withdrawn and incorporated into Handan city. Now there are only two thousand soldiers from fukouguan and one thousand soldiers from Wuan city. The number of soldiers in Handan city increased to 8000, and at the same time, 1000 cavalry were added to the left school.

Today, there are 13000 troops in Handan city. After getting the warning from Luoyang, the left school immediately ordered the city to prepare for defense, and all the materials were ready. Handan city was originally the seat of the state of Zhao, belonging to the county city level. In addition, since the control of the Tang army, Handan city has always been an important city to defend yuan Shaojun, so its defense has been constantly strengthened and improved.

Because of this, left school in the face of 100000 enemy outside the city, not too nervous, he knew that he only need to keep the city, at least three or five days, at most ten days and a half months, Wei Jun's reinforcements will come.

Outside the city of Handan, Yan Liang led 35000 soldiers and 30000 ordinary soldiers, as well as 15000 auxiliary soldiers and craftsmen, with a total of 80000 troops and horses. After meeting with Lu Bu's 30000 cavalry, he slowly approached the city of Handan.

In the middle of the army, Yan Liang looked at the city in the distance. He frowned and said to one of the literati beside him, "don't you think you can help someone to capture Handan? Now that the army is at the foot of the city, what shall we do? "

"Don't worry, general. Next, the general will attack the city according to his own idea. When the opportunity comes, he will inform the general." The scholar was Xu you, one of Yuan Shao's military advisers.

As early as before the departure of the army, Xu you and Yan Liang said that he would help him then. That's why Yan Liang asked.

Seeing Xu you's reply, Yan Liang stopped asking, turned to Lv Bu and said, "please ask the king about the Tang army's reinforcement."

"Don't worry, general. If Zhao Yun doesn't come, he will be good-looking." Lu Bu's Halberd is a long halberd that he raised his hand, which he said moriran;

Zhao Yun's leader had a big fight with Lu Bu's cavalry last year, which made Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf ride lose more than half. Now he has gathered 20000 wolf riders. This time, Lu Bu is looking for Zhao Yun's trouble.

With the order of Lu Bu, thirty thousand Zhao cavalry bypassed Handan and headed for Liangqi and Yecheng in the south of Handan. Lu Bu didn't pay much attention to the cavalry of the Tang army. According to information, among the cavalry of the Tang army, Huaxiong's 10000 Xiliang iron cavalry had gone to Shangjun. In Hanoi and Weijun, besides Zhao Yun's 10000 white horses, there were only about 10000 ordinary cavalry. This time, Lu Bu led an army of 15000 wolf cavalry, plus Cao Xing's army Fifteen thousand ordinary cavalry, which is 30000, is more than that of the Tang army.

Just when Yan Liang's army arrived in Handan, Geng Wu, another deputy general of longxiangying in Weixian County in the south, also saw tens of thousands of Wei troops rolling from the East several miles away.

Wei county is Wei county. It is an ordinary county. Together with Chiqiu and Handan, it forms the defense line against Wei County in the East and the last defense line around Ye City. Once these three cities are broken, there will be no barrier in the east of Ye City and it needs to face the army of Wei state.

The army of Wei, which appeared outside the city of Weixian, was 80000 troops led by general Wen Chou. The number of troops led by Yan Liang was the same, and there was also a military division accompanying him. He came with Feng Ji.

In Yecheng, Zhao Yun has already received the urgent information from Handan and Weixian county. With the information sent back by two deputy generals, Zhao Yun quickly goes to the direction of the prefect's mansion. At this time, the whole Yecheng has entered a state of war readiness. Although the gate has not been closed, the city guards have begun to climb the city and arrange the defense at the head of the city. Five thousand of Zhao Yun's Baima Yicong have been sent out by Zhao Yun to inspect the situation within a hundred Li around Yecheng.Zhao Yun leads 50 bodyguards to the prefect's mansion in a hurry. After getting off the horse, Zhao Yun ignores everything else, throws his rein to his bodyguards and walks all the way to the prefect's mansion.

Go to the front hall, Taishou is Yi and Jun Cheng Yan Xiang and Jun Du Wei Chen Lan three people are waiting there, see Zhao Yun come in, three people quickly welcome up.

"General Zhao, what's the situation now?" It was Yi who asked;

the others also looked at Zhao Yun.

"The Wei and Zhao allied forces have appeared outside Handan and Weixian. According to the information sent back by general Zuo and general Geng, the two armies add up to about 200000, including the 30000 cavalry led by Lv Bu, king of Zhao." Zhao Yun handed the information to Shiyi and said solemnly,

"Yan Liang and Wen Chou led the army to attack Handan and Wei county respectively. General Zhao, the situation is not optimistic!" After reading the information in his hand, he handed it to Yan Xiang, but Yi took a cold breath;

"in fact, it's still good. The most troublesome thing is the 30000 cavalry under the command of King Zhao. With their threat, even if there are reinforcements in Yecheng, they dare not send them out easily. They can only watch the two armies attack the city." Yan Xiang pondered
