Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 392
In Langya County, Cheng Yu only deployed 1 people.

Because, if they were all arranged in the city, Zhang Ming would definitely surround them, then attack the city violently, and finally wipe out 4 of them.

In this way, the whole Xuzhou is in danger.

Langya County City will definitely not be able to stop Zhang Ming's soldiers. If too many soldiers and horses are placed inside, Zhang Ming will only find a chance to annihilate their vital forces.

Cheng Yu placed 1 people in the city, and another 3 people were placed in a place that was easier to defend, more than a dozen miles outside the city.

Here, Cheng Yu's goal is to block Zhang Ming for a while.

Guan Yu's army soon arrived at the county town.

After arriving in the county, Guan Yu did some investigation and found out the opponent's arrangement.

With 1 people guarding the city and 3 people supporting them outside the city, Guan Yu had no way of attacking.

In the rear, Zhang He's army arrived soon after.

Although they have a lot of troops, they also face a rather troublesome problem.

They only need 5 people. If 3 people go to guard the enemy outside the city, and the remaining 2 people attack the city, it is unknown how long the attack will take.

Of course, 1 people can guard the army in the city, and the rest can attack [-] enemy troops.

However, the army outside the city is also difficult to deal with.

Guan Yu did not dare to attack, and after joining Zhang He, they did not take any action, but sent someone to notify Zhang Ming first.

At this time Zhang Ming had entered Yuzhou with 2 people.

Yuzhou does not have heavy troops, but important cities also have defenders. If Zhang Ming wants to fight, he may not be able to reach Xuzhou in two months.

Now, it is time to compete with Cao Cao, two battlefields, to see who can win first.

Zhang Ming had no enemies to intercept him along the way, nor did the enemies have such strength.

Fast forward all the way.

Soon, Zhang Ming received the news.

"This Cheng Yu is really capable."

Cheng Yu's arrangement immediately stopped the army.

"Cheng Yu, although you are smart, I can't follow your plan."

Zhang Ming thought for more than an hour, and then said to the soldiers around him: "Send someone to inform Guan Yu and Zhang Yun, so that they don't have to attack the enemy. As long as they keep watch, I will go to Xuzhou and make a big mess."

Zhang Ming went around from Yuzhou and went behind them, to see how Cheng Yu and the others would respond.

Zhang Ming moved forward quickly.

A few days later, it has already made a detour to the edge of Xuzhou.

When Cheng Yu received the news, he was immediately worried.

"Zhang Ming brought 2 people, and dared to go directly to Xuzhou, he is really arrogant." Cao Ren said angrily.

Cheng Yu didn't say anything, but was very worried.

Zhang Ming wants to enter Xuzhou directly, what exactly is he trying to do?
With 2 people, there are not many soldiers in Xuzhou at this time, which is very dangerous.

"We just need to stop their army here." Xiahou Dun said.

Cheng Yu was not so optimistic.

With 2 people, no one can say what can be done.

"Continue to pay attention, and send a letter to the lord quickly. Zhang Ming is the main force, and he came in person."

Before they judged that one Zhang Ming might be true and the other false, they did not expect Zhang Ming to disperse their forces.

When the elite soldiers are separated, the strong generals are also separated.

In other words, Zhang Ming plunged all the way into the hinterland of Xuzhou.

He appeared directly behind Cheng Yu and the others.

Cheng Yu thought that Zhang Ming would attack back and forth.

The result was not, Zhang Ming went directly to the city in Xuzhou.

First, Zhang Ming went to a county town and directly forced the defenders inside to open it.

There are only hundreds of defenders in this city, how can they dare to stand against Zhang Ming's soldiers.

"Tell the people in Xuzhou that I, Zhang Ming, have come to make the decision for them."

After occupying the first city, Zhang Ming stood on the street and shouted.

"Gao Shun, lead your troops to attack Pengcheng immediately, and take Pengcheng as soon as possible."

"Yes, the last general will go here."

Zhang Ming gave Gao Shun [-] troops to attack Pengcheng.

And Zhang Ming himself is still here in the county.

"Order, order the cities to open the city to welcome my master Wang."

Zhang Ming wants to give it a try. Cao Cao has a bad reputation in Xuzhou, and now he has a large army.

With Zhang Ming's order, hundreds of scouts started to move.

Hundreds of scouts radiated to the surrounding area.

Zhang Ming quietly waited for the news.

A day later, good news came that two cities, Kaesong, received Zhang Ming's army.

Zhang Ming immediately sent 500 people to take over the city, and at the same time incorporated part of the defenders.

The defenders usually have only a few hundred people, and some of them were sent by Cao Cao and ran away.

Some of the defenders were retained from the Xuzhou army, or some people were recruited on the spot.

The common people in Xuzhou hated Cao Cao deeply.

Of course, this is also due to Zhang Ming.

Previously, Zhang Ming took away many refugees, which left a great impression on the people in Xuzhou, that is, Cao Cao made them displaced, and the people were in dire straits.

Everywhere, who has not become a refugee, wanders everywhere.

Yes, that is eternal pain.

Then, during the war in Jizhou, Cao Cao was short of food and grass, so he was forcibly confiscated in various prefectures. Xuzhou, which is rich, was naturally the focus of forcible conscripts.

Therefore, the people of Xuzhou were angry with Cao Cao.

Naturally, the hearts of the people are not good.

At this time, Zhang Ming killed here, and many people began to cheer.

Down several cities in a row.

On Gaoshun's side, the army headed towards Pengcheng.

There are [-] defenders in Pengcheng, arranged by Cheng Yu.

This is a place relatively close to Qingzhou, so a troop was arranged.

Gao Shun headed quickly, extremely fast.

Soon, they reached the bottom of the city.

After arriving at the city, Gao Shun asked the army to rest.

In the city, a guard general convened several deputy futures to discuss matters.

"Our army is blocking the front. I never thought that Zhang Ming's army would dare to bypass our army and directly kill Pengcheng."

The guard sighed and said: "Although we have five thousand soldiers and horses, we don't have much preparations. We haven't had much defense equipment since we have been stationed here."

Here, it was originally the rear, and the front line was tight, so Cao Cao would naturally not station more troops here.

There used to be only [-] defenders here, most of them recruited locally.

Now including those 1000 people, there are only 6000 people, and the defender didn't count those 1000 people in it.

"General, we should immediately mobilize the people to help us defend the city, otherwise I'm afraid we won't last long."

Without defensive equipment, they can only fight recklessly. It is not so easy for their 5000 people to fight against the enemy.

"Okay, everyone will prepare separately."

Cao Jun went to prepare immediately.

Soon, news came from Cao Jun's soldiers.

Except for a few aristocratic families in the city who responded, most of the people were very resistant.

If the people don't cooperate, they can't do anything.

Some aristocratic families were originally cooperative, but when they were resisted by the people, some aristocratic families also retreated.

"How dare you not cooperate. No one can stay out of the situation when the enemy is at hand."

The guard was angry, they were fighting, and the people didn't cooperate.

"Let the soldiers urge them to cooperate," said the guard.

A lieutenant general said: "My lord's management is very strict. We will damage my reputation and lose popular support. I'm afraid my lord will blame me."

In fact, Cao Cao is still very good to the people, but under special circumstances, he will go too far.

"I don't care about so much, the city is lost, so what's the use of talking so much."
