Three Hundred and Fortieth Chapters Fight Tough
Yan Liang hurried back immediately.
But this time he also thought that Zhang Yu might ambush on the way. After all, Zhang Yu had several days to prepare, so he waited for Wen Chou and Gao Lan, who were only two hours away.
Yan Liang didn't believe that Zhang Yu could eat him within two hours.
Even if he has the ability, Yan Liang admits it. The reason is very simple. He still has an army of about 10,000. When Gao Lan arrived, Zhang Yu had no choice but to die.
That's why Yan Liang quickly ordered to move forward.
At this time, Zhang Yu in Yuanshou County held nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, and was setting up a trap to wait for Yan Liang.
With the military training talisman, Zhang Yu is not afraid of exhaustion, and can play a few good games with them.
Zhang Yu retreated early when he ambushed Yan Liang because he was afraid of too much loss of soldiers and horses. This time he will not retreat easily.
Three days later, Yan Liang approached Yuanshou County, but Yan Liang was surprised not to be attacked at all along the way.
As it was close to Yuanshou County, Yan Liang was more cautious and sent out many scouts. He would also send people in to investigate carefully when encountering places such as canyons and dense forests.
"Did Zhang Yu run away?"
According to the news, Zhang Yu has not left in Yuanshou County, but Zhang Yu did not ambush him on the road, which makes him very strange.
Continue to proceed cautiously, and after another day, they are already more than 20 miles away from Yuanshou County, and they can be killed soon.
This time Yan Liang acted cautiously, Wen Chou and Gao Lan hadn't caught up behind him, so he stopped to rest.
At dawn, Yan Liang's army rested for half the night, and their physical strength recovered a lot.
"We must go to the county seat." Yan Liang rushed to the county seat with his troops.
He was very careful on the road, and sent scouts within twenty miles in all directions.
"There is no ambush? Could it be that Zhang Yu and the others are hiding in the county town, planning to defend to the death?" Yan Liang thought.
Approaching the county city, he saw that the gate of the county city was open, and there was no one on the top of the city, and there were no pedestrians.
"Send a hundred people in to have a look." Yan Liang was afraid that the enemy might be ambushing, so he sent people in.
"Sure enough, there was an ambush, Zhang Yu naively thought that I would be fooled by this simple trick." Yan Liang knew that there was an ambush in the city before the people who entered came out.
"Well, I found out and didn't come out?" Yan Liang waited outside for a quarter of an hour, but there was no movement inside, which made him very surprised.
After waiting for a while, Yan Liang thought again: "Could it be that Zhang Yu just ambushed a small number of soldiers and horses inside? The army has already hidden, or is his entire army inside?"
Yan Liang became suspicious because he couldn't understand what Zhang Yu was doing.
"No, I can't let Zhang Yu run away. I'll go in, and I'll know if I run. If I don't run, I'll fight him. As long as I guard carefully, Wen Chou and Gao Lan will come here in more than an hour." Yan Liang thought.
Yan Liang naturally notified the two of them when he set off.
"attack."
In the end, Yan Liang still ordered to attack. He knew that Zhang Yu must have ambushed inside, but he still attacked.
Zhang Yu used Yangmou. If Yan Liang didn't attack, Zhang Yu would retreat when the time came. Anyway, there were plenty of opportunities.
And Yan Liang was afraid that Zhang Yu would run away, so he attacked.
Yan Liang and the others were very careful. Two thousand people from the front army entered first, and then the army followed.
After the front army entered, Zhang Yu didn't do anything until the rear army also entered thousands of people.
"kill."
Zhang Yu gave an order, and the whole army attacked.
"Sure enough, there is an ambush, but will you be afraid of you?" Yan Liang had already guessed, and immediately ordered the army to enter a defensive state.
"put."
At this time, a large number of archers suddenly appeared on the top of the city and shot arrows at the army in the city.
As soon as the archer appeared, Yan Liang's face darkened.
He always thought that Zhang Yu and the others didn't have enough arrows, so they dared to do this.
Because Zhang Yu and the others went deep alone without supplies,
Along the way, the arrows should be almost consumed.
But Yan Liang was wrong. Zhang Yu has a system, and he can have as many arrows as he wants.
"Hold on, reinforcements will be here soon." As expected of Jizhou's number one general, Yan Liang immediately stabilized the army.
The army's position was stabilized, but the casualties continued to increase, and the archers on the top of the city kept attacking.
Then Zhang Yu and the others came from three directions, attacking Yan Liang's formation all the time.
"Hmph, arrogance, although my casualties are heavy, you are also uncomfortable, and you will suffer in the end."
Yan Liang commanded from behind, seeing Zhang Yu's desperate attack, both sides suffered heavy casualties.
His own casualties are huge, Jizhou is so big, and he can replenish anytime and anywhere, but Zhang Yu can't, so what Yan Liang is most afraid of is this kind of attrition war.
Half an hour later, Yan Liang had more than 3,500 casualties, and Zhang Yu and the others had about 1,000 casualties.
An hour later, the casualties increased further. Yan Liang's army suffered more than 5,800 casualties, while Zhang Yu's army also suffered more than 2,200 casualties.
The two sides fought for another half an hour. Yan Liang suffered more than 8,600 casualties, while Zhang Yu and the others also suffered more than 4,000 casualties.
"Prepare to retreat." Zhang Yu counted the time, and it was almost the same, so he ordered to retreat.
"If you want to run, it's not that easy, kill me."
Seeing that Zhang Yu and the others wanted to run away, Yan Liang commanded the few remaining troops to kill them.
"No, there is still an ambush."
After chasing two streets, more than a thousand archers suddenly appeared on both sides to attack them.
At this time, Yan Liang had more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, and he couldn't stop him at all, and was pushed back.
Yan Liang didn't dare to pursue, so he could only stop.
"My lord, why are you running? In half an hour, we will definitely eat them all." Dian Wei said regretfully.
"It's meaningless to eat them. Preserving our strength is the most important thing. Today we eliminated them with 8,000 troops. Yan Liang's journey is useless. If we find a chance to eat them again, Yuan Shao will have nothing to do with us." Zhang Yu Said.
It will take about half an hour to eat Yan Liang, and Wen Chou and Gao Lan will definitely be able to rush over in half an hour. By then, Zhang Yu will face twice as many soldiers and horses as them. big.
Dian Wei didn't speak any more, Zhang Yu led them out through another city gate, and then ran away with the army.
Zhang Yu and the others ran out for about a quarter of an hour, and Gao Lan came with soldiers and horses.
"General Yan Liang, I'm late." Gao Lan rushed to see the tragic battlefield and couldn't help but palpitate.
Yan Liang's expression was somewhat angry. He was ambushed and suffered so many casualties.
"General Gao, Zhang Yu has just left, there is still time to catch up," Yan Liang said.
"Okay, General Yan guards the city well, I'll go after him right away."
Gao Lan calculated that although Zhang Yu and the others won the battle, the casualties were more than 4,000. He thought that Zhang Yu had only a soldier in the early 10,000s, so he chased after them.
