Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 381 Cao Cao's Dilemma

Attack at this time, the enemy will definitely find out soon.

But so what, they were transporting food and grass, so they couldn't escape.

Zhang Ming went straight out. On the way, they had already arranged all the bows and crossbows.

Zhang Ming led 600 people, and Zhao Yun's 50 people, together, went against each other.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the two sides approached, and at this time the other party found Zhang Ming.

"There are enemies ahead."

"Be alert, be alert."

"Defend in place."

A group of food transport teams hurriedly prepared.

"Report, General, there are about five or six hundred enemies."

When the first report was made, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was just a bandit.

Five to six hundred people, what is there to be afraid of.

"Report, General, the enemy is well-equipped and is coming to kill us."

Soon, more detailed news will come from the soldiers.

A regular army of 600 people?

They came here for food, and everyone became more careful.

Soon, Zhang Ming and the others arrived.

Suddenly, Cao Jun was taken aback when he saw a very strict team coming.

"kill."

The army transporting food is all heavy soldiers, and Zhang Ming took the lead to kill them.

"put."

Immediately, arrows shot out, attacking row by row.

Immediately, the opponent fell down a lot of people, and all the previous preparations were useless.

Before, what they prepared was only to deal with the general army, or to deal with bandits.

But Zhang Ming and the others are special forces, well-trained and well-equipped, and they even play differently.

"kill."

Zhang Ming and Zhao Yun rushed into the crowd, killing from left to right.

This group of people has never seen such a cruel person, how can they resist.

A group of soldiers from behind rushed up and directly gave you a crossbow.

After the bows and crossbows were used up, some people immediately started to kill with knives, while some people loaded arrows again.

"Get out, get out."

Not long after the battle, hundreds of people died, and the enemy was still so tough.

If he couldn't resist, the general wanted to retreat first and reorganize his troops.

"Burn the food and grass immediately."

The enemy retreated, so Zhang Ming didn't pursue them.

Everyone brought a small jug of alcohol and poured it directly on the grain.

Then, take out some lighters, ignite the food and grass, and retreat immediately.

"Oops, they burned the food and grass."

"Extinguish the fire immediately."

Cao Jun reacted too slowly.

They just wanted to retreat and reorganize their forces and formations, but Zhang Ming would have smashed it.

Moreover, the grain and grass were almost burned, and they couldn't save them.

After Zhang Ming led the people to burn the grain and grass, he immediately evacuated from the path.

Half an hour after they retreated, Cao Ren arrived with a cavalry.

But it is already late.

Now, if he wants to chase Zhang Ming, he doesn't know where to go.

Cao Ren cursed angrily and asked about the situation of the enemy.

"This is the elite of Zhang Ming's subordinates. They may have discovered that we are short of food and grass."

"Go back, you don't need to go to the front line."

Cao Ren directly told these people to go back the same way.

Their combat effectiveness is not good enough, and it is useless to let them go, and it will consume more food.

Cao Ren sent a soldier back to report, while he was thinking about where to go next.

He knew that there was still some grain and grass to be delivered later, but it was too scattered.

There will not be too many people transporting food and grass. If there are too many people, there will be more food on the road, and not many people can reach the front line.

The best way is to concentrate transportation and send more people to protect it.

But they couldn't wait to get together, and some of them rushed to send a batch, otherwise Cao Cao's side would mutiny.

Soon, Cao Cao received the news.

His complexion is not very good.

Sitting at the top, he said with a heavy face, "Zhang Ming started to attack our grain road, but there is a way to take Yecheng as soon as possible."

Several people discussed for a while, depending on the situation in the city.

If the army in the city continues to defend, they will not be able to defeat it.

"My lord, we can give the defenders in the city a promise to let them abandon Yecheng, and not attack other counties after we enter Yecheng, and help them block Zhang Ming." Cheng Yu suggested.

Cao Cao said casually, "Will they believe it?"

"Won't believe it, but they'll take advantage of it."

Cao Cao nodded and asked Cheng Yu to continue talking.

"To put it simply, the Yuan Group wants us to fight Zhang Ming, but this requires an opportunity, so we will give them this opportunity."

After a while of planning, everyone felt that it was feasible.

When Cao Cao and the others were planning, Zhang Ming attacked everywhere and destroyed their four food transport teams in three days.

However, there were still several grain transport teams that delivered the grain and grass.

Cao Cao's collection of grain and grass was very scattered and collected from all over the country.

After three days of delay, Cao Cao had to save every day.

Cao Cao finally got in touch with the people in the city.

After making contact, Cao Cao began to plan.

"My lord, according to the news in the city, they promised to open the south gate, and then they went out through the west gate."

"But they demanded that the gates be opened at nightfall."

Xun You reported the news to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao sneered and said, "I'm sure that when they opened the south gate, they would also open the north gate, allowing Zhang Ming's army to come in too."

"That's right, that's what they think. They plan to open the city gate the night after tomorrow and let them in."

Cao Cao knew it well.

At this time, his food supply has been insufficient, and there is no way to supply it on a large scale.

But Zhang Ming's rear was very safe and well prepared. At this time, grain and grass were being delivered continuously.

Cao Cao had a hard time.

Zhang Ming hit his grain and grass, and after burning it several times, Zhang Ming withdrew temporarily.

Because Cao Ren led an army of [-] to hunt him down.

It is confirmed that Cao Cao cannot transport grain and grass in large quantities, and they have plenty of opportunities.

Back at the barracks, Zhang Ming called the generals.

"We can be sure that Cao Cao's food and grass are insufficient. Next, we will directly send troops to interfere. In addition, we will mobilize more food and grass to the front line. The three parties are ready to consume it."

At this time, Zhang Ming analyzed that among the three parties, the most beneficial one was himself.

Zhang Ming took three counties and quickly controlled them.

The method of control is very simple, that is, all officials are replaced from top to bottom.

Replace all the officials. If the aristocratic families here dare to mess around, they will be killed.

Changing his strategy, Zhang Ming sent [-] troops directly to the rear of Cao Cao the next day.

This made Cao Cao very anxious, and hurriedly sent troops to keep up.

Once Zhang Ming was allowed to destroy the food and grass, they would be very passive.

The two armies saw each other for a day and did not fight.

Zhang Ming drove the army back, but sent a large number of scouts. Once Cao Cao had military supplies, Zhang Ming would send troops to rob.

Cao Cao felt threatened.

"It must be gambled once. Once entering the city, the two armies will fight a bloody battle. We are ready in advance."

Cao Cao has already agreed in his heart to the plan of fighting head-on with Zhang Ming in the city.

The next day, Zhang Ming's team burned some of Cao Cao's grain and grass, which made Cao Cao angry and helpless.

"Everyone is ready, regardless of Zhang Ming's squad, tomorrow night, we will have a decisive battle with them."
