Chapter 950 Yuan Shu's Army Prepares to Break Out

Huangfu Chaobo knew that this must be the most elite imperial army that Yuan Shu had never used. According to the news from the shadow, Yuan Shu had the most elite 20,000 imperial army, which was the most elite army in Yuan Shu's army. However, it had never participated in the war. It is said that some of them have gone on an expedition with Prince Yuan Yao, while the rest have been guarding the imperial city.

After hearing Huang Zhong's introduction, Huangfu Chaobo asked again: "How is the situation of the soldiers?"

"The morale of the army is high, but after a day of fighting, they are already a little tired. Today's battle is not like usual. The whole army is dispatched today, so the soldiers do not take turns to attack and replace. From this morning, the army began to attack the city until Now, all the soldiers have almost no rest, so the general thinks it is not appropriate to fight again tonight. It is best to let the soldiers rest for a day before fighting again, but it seems that Sun Cejun has the intention to fight all night. "

Huangfu Chaobo waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about them. Order the soldiers to camp and fight again tomorrow. However, we need to prevent Yuan Shu's army from leaving the city to attack and counterattack at night."

Just as he was talking, Sun Ce led a group of generals towards this side, and Huangfu Chaobo immediately led Huang Zhongdian and Wei generals to greet them.

"General Anton!" Sun Ce cupped his fists and saluted;

"General Sun!" Huangfu Chaobo also returned the salute.

"Yuan Shu's army has been newly defeated, so I want to lead his troops to fight at night and attack the inner city in one go. I wonder what General Anton wants?" Sun Ce said;

In fact, this is just Sun Ce's own opinion. Zhou Yu and the generals in Sun Ce's army do not agree very much. The reason is similar to Huang Zhong's. The soldiers have been fighting fiercely for a whole day and are now exhausted. However, Yuan Shu's soldiers on the inner city wall are all exhausted. It seems that they are soldiers who have not yet participated in the war, waiting for work. The losses of their own army will definitely not be too small. This is still a small matter. If the inner city is not captured by the loss of soldiers and generals, the damage to morale will be too great.

Huangfu Chaobo listened to Sun Ce's words, shook his head and said: "General Sun, the soldiers are exhausted after a day of fighting. On the other hand, Yuan Shu's soldiers at the head of the city are all elites who have been sharpening their skills for a long time. If we attack the city overnight, I'm afraid The casualties are too great. Instead of attacking the city overnight, it is better to let everyone rest overnight and start the attack again tomorrow. The general has already sent cavalry to closely monitor the outside of the north city. Unless Yuan Shu leads dozens of people to escape overnight, they will not be able to escape. of."

Seeing that Anton's army was unwilling to attack the city overnight, Sun Ce was unwilling but had no choice but to do anything. If it was just his army that attacked the city, he had no confidence at all. He could only look at Yuan Shu's soldiers showing off their power on the city wall with dismay.

While the two were talking, Dian Wei said from the side: "General, Cao Ren is guarding Cao Cao and Nasi is coming this way."

When Huangfu Chaobo looked up, he saw Cao Ren leading hundreds of people to guard Cao Cao and coming here. Soon a group of people arrived here. Cao Cao bowed his hands and said: "Marquis Cangting, the army has been fighting fiercely for a day and the soldiers are exhausted. Do you want to attack the inner city again tomorrow?"

"This is the general's intention. Will tomorrow's attack on the city also be carried out in the direction assigned to the outer city?"

After listening, the two of them nodded in agreement, which was as it should be. However, because the conflict between Sun Ce and Cao Cao was too deep, Cao Cao did not stay long and confirmed that he would not attack the city today, which had achieved his goal. After that, the troops of the three parties dispersed, and after arranging patrol posts to monitor the inner city of Shouchun, the armies retreated to their respective areas to camp and rest, waiting for tomorrow's battle.

The original area of ​​the inner city of Shouchun City was less than a quarter of the outer city. After excluding the area of ​​the imperial city, the inner city was less than one-fifth of the area. Nowadays, although some people have fled into the inner city, coupled with the troops who have withdrawn from the inner city, the population of the inner city now exceeds 100,000, which can be said to be overcrowded.

Although the three armies of princes in the outer city did not attack the city immediately, the inner city did not calm down because of this. After Yuan Shu's three armies retreated from the inner city and set up camp hundreds of steps away, Yuan Shu did not stop on the city wall anymore. Instead, he returned to the palace to summon the civil and military ministers for discussion again.

However, like last time, only a few civil and military ministers came to the hall, only his group of ministers from the Dragon were all present.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Shu didn't care. After confirming that no one was coming, Yuan Shu announced to everyone the decision to retreat led by Ji Ling. When everyone heard this, they all felt like E Ran, but many of them breathed a sigh of relief. At first everyone thought that the emperor was retreating under the protection of Ji Ling's army, but as they listened, they realized something was wrong. The emperor didn't run away?

After hearing that the emperor did not run away, more than half of the people from Conglong were willing to follow Yuan Shu and defend Shouchun. Think about it, the four generations and three princes have been in business for so many years, and there will be a group of die-hard loyalists anyway. Not to mention how many there are, at least there are some.

However, for these people, Yuan Shu still selected some people to break out with Ji Ling and let them continue to be loyal to the prince. On the other hand, Lei Bo, the guy who rebelled with Chen Lan in the novel and then took over the mountain as king, is now determined to coexist with Shouchun. If Huangfu Chaobo and other players knew about it, they would be shocked. of.

After agreeing on the arrangements for breakout and defense personnel, Yuan Shu arranged for the generals to begin preparations. In a short time, Ji Ling and a group of generals and officials who had broken out transported the prepared materials to the water gate, where Yuan Shu had already prepared them. Dozens of ships of various types waited until it got a little brighter before boarding and leaving the navy.

Someone originally proposed to board the ship and leave overnight, but Ji Ling said otherwise. People could not be seen at night. If dozens of ships left without torches, they were afraid that they would collide with the ships. Then the ships would be destroyed and people would be killed. The gain would not be worth the loss. Light the torches. If so, didn't Qi tell the three princes to break out of the encirclement?

Instead of doing this, it would be better to set off when the sky is just bright, and then there is no need to worry about something happening to the fleet. Moreover, Yuan Shu also felt that daytime was more suitable, because during the day, he would go to the city to fight Cao Cao and others. The purpose was also to attract the attention of the three princes and create conditions for Ji Ling's army to break out.

The generals responsible for defending the inner city rushed to send all their family members to the imperial city and left with Ji Ling's army. As a result, although Ji Ling's army had 10,000 troops, there were nearly thousands of family members. Fortunately, Yuan Shu had already prepared dozens of ships of various types, so there was no shortage of ships.

The next day, Yuan Shu's emperor's ceremonial staff appeared on the top of the city early in the morning. When the five-clawed golden dragon's umbrella appeared on the inner city wall, the soldiers on the wall were shocked.
