Han counter current

But if it is to defend the city, then the initiative is entirely in the hands of others.What's even more unfortunate is that Yuan Shang only now knows that Youzhou's secret work has a strong penetrating power.

Many aristocratic families in the city have been bought, and the defense of the city is not as safe as imagined.

Chapter 297 Whose Territory 1

Only after Zhan Chou died in battle, the Hebei soldiers turned more attention to Zhang He and Gao Lan. Gao Lan's name was known to everyone in Hebei.

Therefore, when Gao Lan appeared in the sight of the defenders, the soldiers in the city whispered to each other, pointing and talking about something.

Perhaps, Gao Lan's prestige is nothing compared to those better generals, but in this city, there seems to be no one who can be compared with Gao Lan.

"It's General Gao. I'm in trouble now. I'm afraid the city won't be able to be defended."

The guard smiled awkwardly. He was not considered to be Yuan Shang's direct descendant, nor could he be said to be loyal to Yuan Shang. After all, people live for themselves first.

If his family was not quite influential in Bingzhou, I'm afraid he might not be able to stay in this position, but his family does not belong to the inner circle of the Yuan family.

In addition, the general clearly felt that the morale of the soldiers under his command was weakening, not to mention all of them, and he himself knew how powerful Gao Lan was.

Compared with the former Yuan Shao, the current Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan are obviously not good at winning people's hearts, especially those generals left behind by Yuan Shao do not have that deep affection for Yuan Shang.

At least, those descendants of aristocratic families have to consider the interests of their own families more. In the face of life and death, Yuan Shang can also be betrayed.

"Come down,,,,,,"

It's not that the guards don't want to fight. There are only [-] defenders in the city, all of whom are old, weak and remnant soldiers. In addition, there are only more than [-] young and strong soldiers. The enemy army outside the city has thousands of cavalry, which is extraordinary in terms of momentum.

The most important thing is that Gao Lan's appearance has already wiped out the morale of the defenders in the city. This war cannot be started.

Of course, the guard can also fight first to express his loyalty and ability. In this way, he may have more capital to surrender.

However, in front of Zi ah Gao Lan, when the fighting spirit of his subordinates was about to lose, he really didn't dare to do this.

Who knows if Gao Lan will kill him in the first battle, who knows if his subordinates will point their weapons directly at him.

"Report, report to the lord, and report urgently to the state."

A soldier put the battle report on the table in front of Yuan Shang. It seemed that the situation in Bingzhou was indeed urgent.

"What to do, what to do?"

Yuan Shang didn't dare to read the battle reports, because the table was already full of battle reports from Bingzhou and Jizhou.

He could guess what was in the battle report, it was nothing more than a plea for help.Yuan Shang has had enough of this battle report for food and reinforcements.

If he had enough reinforcements and food, how could he have given up on Youzhou, and how could he have allowed Chen Feng to run wild on his territory.

Originally, Yuan Shang believed that Bingzhou could hold on to some extent, at least like when the Huns went south last year, the garrisons in various places should fight back tenaciously.

But the actual result was beyond Yuan Shang's expectations. For some reason, many cities surrendered directly, which disrupted Yuan Shang's plan at once.

Although there were some city defenders who wanted to fight to the end, they were defeated in the shortest time without exception.

Those generals and local aristocratic families who advocated sticking to the end were all met with bloody revenge, ransacking their families and exterminating their families. These four words were too powerful.

So strong that the remaining city guards and aristocratic families are considering what consequences they will bear if they continue to resist.

"Bingzhou can't be lost, Youzhou has already been robbed by Chen Feng, if Bingzhou is allowed to be robbed by him again, then he will surround Jizhou, no, absolutely not, I want to increase troops, increase troops,,,,, ,"

For Yuan Shang, the choice he is facing now is the most difficult in his life.Especially in such a critical situation, making choices made him very troubled.

The enemy continued to cause trouble in Hejian, Bingzhou, Changshan and other places, but his subordinates did not dare to go out of the city to fight back. Even though they had accumulated enough strength to attack out of the city, the enemy left on horseback.

Facing Youzhou's elite cavalry, Yuan Shang has been unable to grasp the initiative on the battlefield, so until now he has been led by the nose by Youzhou's soldiers and horses.

"My lord, the spies have come to report that [-] troops have been dispatched from Yecheng, and they are now heading towards Bingzhou Jiuyuan."

Zhang He reported the intelligence obtained by the spies to Chen Feng, and then waited for Chen Feng's instructions.

"It's only 2 people, not too much. There should be about [-] defenders in Yecheng."

Chen Feng spat out the grassroots in his mouth. Fortunately, the caravans have been traveling to and from various places in the past two years, and a huge intelligence system can be established. In this way, Chen Feng is also relatively clear about the approximate number of defenders in various places.

If not, how could he formulate such a detailed and complete plan in such a short period of time.

"Wenyuan knows what to do. Bingzhou is now a vortex, and more Jizhou soldiers and horses will participate in it. Then, they will all fall into this vortex."

Regarding the war in Bingzhou, Chen Feng was at ease.There is absolutely no need to worry about Zhang Liao's ability.

In addition, his familiarity with Bingzhou may far exceed that of Yuan Shang's subordinates, so fighting in Bingzhou is Zhang Liao's main battlefield.

Chapter 298 Whose Territory 2

Looking at Chen Feng's confident expression, the generals and soldiers beside him were already impatient. They are the only ones who are still idle when everyone else is fighting.

"My lord, aren't our troops going to fight now? It's a rare opportunity."

Zhang He has long been itchy. Only the battlefield can reflect his value. Only through the battle can he gain military exploits and get a chance to rise.

"Our army is hiding in Changshan, if we just loot some of the enemy's logistics team, wouldn't it be an overkill.

The lord led [-] elites to the battle. If there is no result, hehe, turn around, and let Wenyuan and the others make fun of him. "

"No hurry, no hurry, I know you can't help but want to make a move, but, now, it's really not the time to be anxious."

Chen Feng shook his head and smiled, he didn't know the meaning of Zhang He's words, but he wouldn't do it until the best time came.

"This plan was formulated by Wenhe. I believe that Wenhe considered the current situation when formulating this plan.

Yuan Shang has about [-] elite soldiers and horses. We must avoid the main force of the enemy army. These elite soldiers are all the foundation Yuan Shao left for him.

Yuan Shang has more than 3 soldiers in Bingzhou, and now he has sent another 2 troops. A total of [-] troops will participate in the battle in Bingzhou, and there are [-] troops in Yecheng.

In other words, the regular army in other cities will not exceed 2, of which, Hejian accounts for [-].

If you think about it, the regular army in other cities adds up to 1 people. Even if they will call in the young and old in the city to help defend the city, but when it comes to our army's attack, will they be able to withstand it? "

"My lord, you mean to attack the territory outside of Yecheng?"

"We are in Changshan now, so there will be some commotion. Besides, Changshan, Zhongshan and other places are close to Youzhou.

If it can be successfully won, it will also be conducive to the transportation of our army's supplies and the arrival of reinforcements. This is much better than snatching the territory in southern Jizhou. "

"Since that's the case, what are we waiting for? My lord, the general will invite you to fight. As long as the lord gives the general [-] elites, the general will guarantee to win the entire territory of Changshan."

"I said it all, no hurry, no hurry."

Chen Feng still shook his head. The battle must be fought, but it is definitely not now. The time has not come, so you can't take it lightly.
