Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 545
5Chapter 16: Siege of Yuguo
In the 27th year of Qianyuan, on October [-]th, Guangling County, Yuguo City, Zhao Jun Camp, after Zhang Jie arranged everything, he led the main force of the [-] Zhao Army to retreat northward and return to Xiapi County. Wen Hong, who stayed behind after the break, took people off in person.

"General, take care all the way!" Wen Hong said to Zhang Jie. Wen Hong knew that this was the last time he and Zhang Jie got together. Resent Zhang Jie, after all, this is also his own decision.

But facing Wen Hong, Zhang Jie still said with guilt on his face: "General Wen, you only need to block Deng Jun for one month. After one month, if you have a chance, break out. As long as you return to Xiapi territory, you will be fine." gone."

"Don't worry, general, the last general is not afraid of death, but it doesn't mean he wants to die. If there is a chance, he will definitely break through. I hope we can meet again with the general." Wen Hong said with a smile, although Wen Hong said so, But how easy is it to break out of Deng Jun's heavy siege?Not to mention breaking through, it is a fluke to be able to block it for a month.

"Report!" Just as Wen Hong and Zhang Jie were about to say goodbye, a spy came to him quickly and said, "General, Deng Jun's vanguard is less than twenty miles away from here!"

"Deng Jun came so fast!" Wen Hong murmured, and then said to Zhang Jie: "General, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, please leave quickly, otherwise you will be dragged by the vanguard of Deng Jun, and when the main force of Deng Jun arrives, you want to come back and leave." It won't be so easy to go."

Zhang Jie nodded. He didn't expect Deng Jun to come so fast. It seemed that there was really no further delay, so he said to Wen Hong: "General Wen, take care!" Then he turned around and shouted: "The whole army obeys orders!" , and then I will return to Xiapi!"

With an order, [-] Zhao troops marched towards Xiapi County in a mighty manner. After watching Zhang Jie's army leave, Wen Hong said to the lieutenant general: "The whole army will retreat to Yuguo City with this general!"

Using Yuguo City to resist Deng's army was Wen Hong's idea from the very beginning. After all, facing Deng's army far superior to his own, it is difficult to block it for more than a month in the wild. Only the city defense of Yuguo has a chance to be realized.

As for whether he was worried that Deng Jun would bypass Yuguo City and directly pursue Zhang Jie's army, Wen Hong expressed that he was not worried at all. After all, he had [-] elite troops here. If Deng Jun dared to pursue the whole army, he could attack Guangling City directly. Give Deng Jun a bottom line. If Deng Jun leaves a force to besiege Yuguo City, there must not be many soldiers that can be sent to pursue it. With Zhang Jie's [-] troops, it can be solved completely. So, no matter what, Even Deng Jun couldn't get around Yuguo City.

An hour later, Deng Jun's vanguard army had arrived outside Yuguo City. In order to pursue Zhao Jun, Guan Yu sent Yang Zongbao and Gao Xingzhou to lead [-] soldiers and horses as the vanguard. Ren led [-] soldiers and horses to follow, but the distance between the two armies was not too far.

It is said that when Yang Zongbao and Gao Xing led their troops to Yuguo City on Tuesday, they looked at Yuguo City with its gates tightly closed. The Zhao army on the city looked like they were facing a formidable enemy. Formation, at the same time send spies to inquire about the news.

An hour later, the spies came back and reported: "Generals Yang and Gao, according to the surrounding people, two hours ago, a large number of Zhao troops left their camp and went north."

"Zongbao, it seems that Zhang Jie has led the main force of the Zhao army back to Xiapi, and the only ones left in Yuguo City are Zhang Jie's abandoned sons. What should we do now?" Gao Xingzhou asked Yang Zongbao asked.

Yang Zongbao lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Although the Zhao army in this city is just the abandoned son left by Zhang Jie, we don't know how many Zhao army there are in the city. It would be wrong to attack rashly, and Zhang Jie didn't He is a famous general of the Zhao Kingdom, and he is well aware of military affairs, so he can be entrusted with important tasks, and the one who leaves behind must be a brave and resourceful general, we should wait for the general to arrive before making a long-term plan."

Gao Xingzhou nodded approvingly, and then sent someone to report to Guan Yu who was not far behind. As for him, he and Yang Zongbao led troops to wait for Guan Yu's arrival in Yuguo City.

Two hours later, Guan Yu finally arrived with his troops, and Gao Xingzhou and Yang Zongbao went up to meet him and bowed, "I pay my respects to the General!"

When Guan Yu saw Gao Xingzhou and Yang Zongbao, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Where are Xingzhou, Zongbao, and Zhang Jie's army?"

Yang Zongbao replied: "Back to General, when we arrived at Yuguo City, Zhang Jie had already led the main force of the Zhao army to retreat northward, and there was only one Zhao army left behind in Yuguo City. The exact number is unknown. The last general is afraid that he will be caught in Zhang Jie's trick, so he garrisons here, waiting for the arrival of the general."

Guan Yu nodded, and said: "You have done a good job, military adviser, immediately send someone to investigate Zhao Jun's reality, and we must break through Yuguo City as soon as possible, otherwise Zhang Jie will go far away."

"Here!" Jing Xiang replied.

Jingxiang went down and sent people to investigate the truth of Zhao Jun. It would not take a while to figure out the truth. It is impossible for tens of thousands of troops to wait here against the cold wind, so Guan Yu ordered to set up camp on the spot.

After Jingxiang finally found out what was true about Zhao Jun, he went to the tent of the Chinese Army and reported to Guan Yu, saying: "General, there are about 2 Zhao Jun in the city, and the leading general is Zhang Jie's Zuo Jun." Wen Hong, one of his right-hand men."

"Wen Hong?" Guan Yu groaned, and then said: "Since Zhao Jun entered Guangling County, Wen Hong has fought against our army many times. With [-] elites and Yuguo City being guarded, it may be very difficult to take them down quickly."

"General, this is exactly the effect Zhang Jie wanted. Leaving Wen Hong and the 2 troops in Yuguo City is to prevent our army from continuing to pursue. After all, there are [-] people here, and we want to bypass the north of Yuguo City. It is impossible to go up, and it is not possible to break through Yuguo City overnight. When our army breaks through Yuguo City, I am afraid that Zhang Jie has already returned to Xiapi, and it is impossible to continue the pursuit Yes, it seems that we can only watch Zhang Jie return to Xiapi safely." Jing Xiang said with a sigh.

"Hmph!" Guan Yu snorted coldly, and said, "Zhang Jie is really cunning, anyway, since Zhang Jie can't be caught, then Wen Hong and the [-] elite Zhao troops under his command should be kept here. It is suitable for our army to attack the city, military commander, you should contact the people of Mingjing immediately, and want to use Yuguo City to make this general lose his troops, it is simply wishful thinking!"

It is not a matter of a day or two for Deng Guo to manage Guangling County. There are spies from Mingjing in all the cities of Guangling. These cities are simply as easy as flipping the palm of your hand.

Soon, the person in charge sent by Mingjing to assist Yongpingwei in the battle came to the main tent of the Chinese army.

"Ming San has met General Guan, Military Division Jing, and all the generals!" Ming San, one of the top ten secret agents of Ming Jing, was also a subordinate who Su Hong painstakingly cultivated back then. Later, after the war in the Central Plains, Yao Guangxiao sent him to Guangling to rule Guangling County. All Spiegel agents assist Yongpingwei.

"Mr. Mingsan, I would like to know how many spies Mingjing has in Yuguo City?" Guan Yu asked Mingsan.

Ming San replied: "Back to General, Yuguo City is not the main business place of Mingjing, so there are not many spies in the city, there are about a hundred people, but most of them are just some non-staff personnel, real elite spies There are only a dozen of them, but some rangers and ruffians in Yuguo City can use them."

"Is there only this kind of people?" Guan Yu and others felt a little disappointed immediately, but thinking about it, after all, the entire Guangling County is the territory of the Deng Kingdom. The business places are located in important towns such as Guangling, Gaoyou, and Jiangdu, or in important border defense towns like Haixi, Lingxian, and Dongyang. It is not bad for a small Yuguo to have a hundred people.

"General, it seems that it is impossible to rely on the power of Mingjing to knock on the gate of Yuguo. Now we can only rely on ourselves." Jing Xiang said with a sigh.

Guan Yu nodded and said: "That's true, but there are a total of 2 Zhao troops in the city. If we attack by force, even if we can finally break through the city, our army's losses will be immeasurable. What advice does the military advisor have?"

That's right, if 5 people storm a city guarded by 2 people, the loss will definitely not be small. Maybe at least half of the [-] army will be left behind. After all, Zhao Jun's strength is not bad.

Jing Xiang thought for a while and said, "General, there was a problem with Zhao Jun's food and grass, but now that Zhang Jie led the main force back to Xiapi, there must be not many soldiers and horses left behind. The first thing after Xiapi must be to pacify Xiapi Yuqi, and we will not go south in a short time. If we leave a soldier and horse stationed outside Yuguo City, we will recover other cities in Guangling County first, and wait until Zhao Jun After running out of ammunition and food, how about attacking the city again?"

"That's all we have to do. Then we will wait until Zhao Jun runs out of ammunition and food. I don't believe that Zhao Jun's food and grass can last for a long time." Guan Yu nodded and said.

After deliberation, it was finally decided that Deng Ping and Yang Zongbao would lead their troops to recover the cities of Guangling County that had been lost by the Zhao army, while Guan Yu and Gao Xingzhou would lead [-] elite troops to station outside Yuguo City. Jing Xiang returned to Guangling City to escort a batch of grain and grass.

After Yang Zongbao and Deng Ping led their troops to leave, within a short period of ten days, they successively recovered Gaoyou, Dongyang, Tangyi, Ping'an, Haixi, Lingxian, Sheyang and other places, and recovered the entire Guangling County. However, the reason why they were able to march so quickly was because after the Zhao army retreated to the north, there were very few defenders left, which was like an empty city. Yang Zongbao and Deng Ping recovered all the cities almost effortlessly.

While Yongpingwei started to recover the lost ground, the Jinwu Guard in Dongcheng, the Spirit Snake Guard in Peijun, and the Shence Guard also started to move one after another.
