Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 341 Start of War (Part 2)
There are only [-] troops in Beiping New City.

[-] train daily, and [-] guard the city gates to patrol the city.

Zhang Ming doesn't need to put too many troops here.

This new city of Beiping was carefully built by Zhang Ming for more than two years, and it is very solid.

This arrangement was made in such a way that the enemy would really split up and attack Beiping New City.

In this way, the enemy's army was divided into four waves.

A group of troops, guarding their grain and camp, this part of the army is [-].

And the other group is outside their barracks.

There is another group, and they also have to divide their troops. It is a fortified city in Youzhou five miles away. They don't know how many troops are in the city, and whether they will come out to attack them.

Then, it depends on whether they will divide their troops to attack Beiping New City.

"General Yan, do you want to send someone to warn them to give up the imperial examination?" Zhang He said.

"No, this army just needs to be dealt with. If no one takes care of them, they won't know how to bow their heads."

Yan Liang knew that it was impossible to make them give up the imperial examination without winning the battle.

"Send [-] troops to surround the city, and prepare to attack the rest."

Yan Liang didn't know how many enemy troops there were in the city, so he sent Zhang Yun to go there, with [-] troops, and he personally commanded [-] troops, ready to attack.

This division of troops, 14 troops, has left [-] troops.

[-] is still an obvious advantage.

"Start testing and send [-] troops."

Yan Liang immediately ordered [-] troops to attack.

The ten thousand troops, divided into three parts, rushed to the camp on the hillside.

"Fire arrows."

As soon as he rushed up, Xi Zhicai ordered to release arrows, and many arrows poured down, immediately knocking down the army, leaving hundreds of dead bodies.

Looking at it, Zhang Fei slapped his thigh and said, "Military Master, it's too early to attack. If we wait for them to get closer, at least 2000 people will be left behind."

However, Xi Zhicai said: "Don't worry, what I did was to give them the illusion that I don't know how to fight, and they underestimated us, and they would send people up to die."

The hill they were on was not high, and it was very gentle, so the advantage was not obvious.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou really underestimated Xi Zhicai's attack just now.

Wen Chou said: "Yan Liang, the enemy released their arrows early, obviously they are afraid of us. They rushed out of the city, so they must not bring many arrows with them. If we consume them first, we will attack them by force."

Yan Liang took it seriously, and ordered: "Let the infantry go up again and bring their shields."

Yan Liang sent another army up.

Not long after going up, the enemy really started to shoot arrows.

The arrows struck, and this time, with preparations, most of the arrows were blocked by the shield.

A round of arrows came down and couldn't kill a few people.

Yan Liang said: "If the enemy has rolling logs on it, our army will suffer a lot of losses. These arrows alone can't threaten us."

Indeed, a round of arrows kills a few people, but Youzhou's army will lose thousands of arrows.

There are thousands of arrows in one round, and the Youzhou army can attack for several more rounds.

Seventy to eighty thousand arrows were lost in a row, and only a few hundred people were killed.

The army moved up slowly, slowly approaching the camp.

"Military division, if you don't attack at this time, when will you wait?"

Zhang Fei was in a hurry, the enemy was tens of meters away, and he could see their expressions clearly.

However, Xi Zhicai just refused to order.

"Yun Chang, Yi De, you two, get ready."

The enemy continued to advance, but Xi Zhicai was still talking slowly.

After a long time, Xi Zhi said, "Attack."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were already ready, and the soldiers were getting impatient for a long time.

Immediately, each led thousands of people to fight out.

The two were as fierce as fire.

Taking a breath, the two rushed out.

And the enemy also pulled down his shield and killed him.

Immediately, the two armies fought.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei used the most violent attacks to kill the enemy with fear.

The lethality of the two is huge, and often one attacking the enemy will kill a few people.

The Youzhou army was so powerful that Yuan Jun couldn't stand it.

"Archer ready."

Xi Zhicai ordered the archers to prepare, and then said: "Ming Jin retreats."

The soldiers immediately struck the gong.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard the order to withdraw their troops, they quickly led the army to retreat.

"Fire arrows."

As soon as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei retreated, Xi Zhicai ordered the archers to attack.

This time, more than 3000 archers were attacking.

Suddenly, a large number of arrows rained down.

The enemy has withdrawn their shields, and a large number of them have been killed.

Several waves of arrows were released, killing and injuring more than 2000 enemies.

"Military division, what did you do? Why is Mingjin withdrawing troops at this time?"

"I'm about to kill them back. It's better for you to call me back."

The military order was like a mountain, and Xi Zhicai ordered to withdraw the troops. No matter how unwilling Zhang Fei was, he had to come back.

But this does not mean that Zhang Fei has no anger in his heart.

"General Yide, don't worry, this battle is not about killing the enemy, but holding them back."

When Zhang Fei heard this explanation, he was not happy at all.

"So what, if we kill the enemy, can't we hold them back?"

"General Yide, please be calm and don't be impatient. There will be battles. This arrangement can make the enemy be fooled step by step. When they find out that they don't have enough time and rush to deal with it, they will inevitably make mistakes everywhere."

"Humph."

Zhang Fei was still angry, snorted coldly, and sulked aside.

Xu Huang on the side smiled and took out a cigarette and a lighter and said, "This is a gift from the lord. General Yide extinguished the fire and came to smoke."

Zhang Fei snatched the cigarette, took one and returned it to Xu Huang.

"This dog-headed military commander, it would be great if the elder brother was here. The elder brother directly led us to fight in and out, so he didn't deal with these ghost ideas."

Xu Huang smiled and pulled him aside.

Just as Yuan Jun withdrew, Ju Yi said: "It's a pity, if my army goes up and attacks with bows and crossbows, it can greatly injure the enemy."

Wen Chou said: "You are right, but your army is too small and the enemy is strong, so your army is wasted in vain. It is really not worth it."

Bows and crossbows are very expensive. Facing such an enemy, the first to ascend the dead may only have to die.

"The enemy consumes a lot of arrows. We will attack a few more waves, and they will have no more arrows to use. Only then will the dead soldiers go up first."

Yan Liang ordered to attack again.

This Xi Zhicai is indeed a prodigal, as if he doesn't know how to fight, he shoots arrows indiscriminately.

In fact, what they didn't know was that since Zhang Ming hadn't fought for so long, he didn't know how many arrows he had made.

Their arrows are not afraid of being wasted, they are just for fun.

After several more attacks, Yan Liang estimated that Xi Zhicai had wasted more than 20 arrows.

At this time, it was already dark, and Yan Liang ordered to rest.

The whole army camped, and Yan Liang discussed with several generals about such an attack.

At this moment a scout came running.

"Report to the general, we found that Zhao Yun's cavalry, numbering about [-], lingered outside the camp for a while, and then headed for the hinterland of Jizhou."

The scout's report immediately attracted Yan Liang and Wen Chou's attention.
