Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1626 Storm Five

Yuan Tan is not a fool, on the contrary, Yuan Tan is very smart, otherwise he would not be able to win over his confidants to fight against his father's eccentricity, but there is one thing, his fear of his father Yuan Shao has always occupied most of his heart.

That's why he was easily fooled.

If he knew the current situation on the Guandu battlefield, he would not be fooled by the judge, and he would even kill the judge directly, and turn his troops to eat Yuan Shang.

Yecheng will not run away here.

But Yuan Shang is definitely an enemy of his succession.

Not to mention being unanimous to the outside world at this time, for Yuan Tan, there is no so-called unanimity to the outside world, he is more willing to toad Yuan Shang, so that even if he loses, he still has the greatest value in Jizhou.

But now he didn't know anything about Guandu, and his fear of his father made him fall into the lies of the interrogation. In order to obtain his father's forgiveness, he had to storm Yecheng and take back Yecheng.

It didn't take a day, after the preparations were made, the soldiers under Yuan Tan's command lined up, and Ye City immediately set up an offensive formation, one by one square formation, rushing towards them.

"March with all your strength, and after a quarter of an hour, forcefully cross the moat, cover with archers, charge with trebuchets, and push up the Jinglan ladder!"

Yuan Tan went to battle in person, he had to take back Yecheng before his father came back, so as to make up for his mistakes, so at this time, he didn't have too many ideas.

All the troops were pressed up.

And the city soon got the news.

dong dong dong! ! ! !

The drums sounded.

Pan Feng kissed on the city wall. Although he hadn't been on the battlefield for many years, he was not unfamiliar with the battlefield, and had a sense of intimacy, as if he was born to belong to the battlefield.

"Who is coming?"

Pan Feng stared at the city with sharp eyes, while indifferent voices sounded around.

"Reporting to General, Yuan Tan's soldiers are under the city. They came out from the eastern suburbs and are less than five miles away from my city wall. They are about to step into the moat!"

The Marquis of the Scout Army reported: "There are about ten thousand soldiers and horses. The exact number is being inquired, but they have siege equipment, trebuchets, well rails, and ladders!"

"Explore again!"

"promise!"

"Pass our military order, each department goes straight to the city wall, separates the defense, and sets up a queue at a distance of five steps. Before there is no military order, you are not allowed to take the lead, and beware of the enemy's bow and arrow attack!"

"promise!"

The two captains bowed their hands and took orders.

Tatata! ! !
At this time, Han Tao, a heroic young man, walked up to the city wall. He was a little unfamiliar with war, and his eyes were fixed on the evil spirit coming from the city, his face was slightly pale.

But the footsteps are still standing firm.

"Whose soldier is it?"

Han Tao asked in a low voice.

He looked forward to it.

"It should be Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses outside the city, they still can't hold back!"

Pan Feng said softly.

"It really is him!" Han Tao clenched his fists: "Father is sure to behead him!"

"He has a strong army. If I go out to fight, I won't be able to protect the gates. After all, there are not many soldiers in my city, and they may not be on the same side with us. In addition, the city is also uneasy!"

Pan Feng shook her head: "Don't dare to take risks!"

He dares to fight.

But I dare not take risks. If it is too risky, it is not a problem to put myself on it. The problem is that Han Tao will get into trouble again.

He smiled wryly, and then continued: "And the current situation in Yecheng is not his family's soldiers. I don't worry about them. Yuan Tan's ability is just like that. As the saying goes, a raging soldier will be a raging pot. His ability is far inferior to that of the generals under his command, and it is difficult to gain a foothold. As long as I defeat him for a while, I will surely break his army's morale, and even if I don't attack, the walls are as thick as the city of Ye. Five thousand soldiers and horses can hold the city wall, but I am worried about the north, if Zhang Yan responds to Yuan Tan's strategy at this time and directly launches an attack and breaks into the city, I may not be able to stop it."

Zhang Yan's main force is already approaching the city.

Compared with the regular army, the Montenegrin Army's combat effectiveness is still inferior, not only the individual combat effectiveness, but the most important thing is the cooperation on the battlefield and the integration of the army formation.

But too many ants can kill an elephant, and Zhang Yan has a lot of troops. If he really wants to attack, he must be vicious. At that time, he may not be able to cope with the two-faced battle.

"Zhang Yan is actually not difficult to deal with!"

Han Tao thought for a while, then said suddenly.

"Does Xiao Tao have a good strategy?" Pan Feng turned his head and looked at Han Tao. He knew that Han Tao was young, but he was good at studying. He had inherited Han Fu's knowledge, and he was a very intelligent young man. It was Han Tao who made up his mind, he did the work.

"I have also studied some military arts over the years, but I don't have any experience on the battlefield. It's just Zhao Kuo's talk, but I can give my father a reference. If my father thinks it can be used for reference, I will discuss it again. If it is not accurate Actually, father should veto it, and don't let Tao fall into Zhao Kuo's sorrow!"

Han Tao was a little nervous, after all, it was his first time on the battlefield.

"Xiaotao, please tell me!" Pan Feng nodded.

"I have read a lot of books, fighting is not as good as fighting people. I don't know much about battlefield warfare, but I have a little bit of ability to judge people. I have studied a few people in Hebei. Although Zhang Yan has He has a heroic spirit, but he has been suppressed in the Black Mountains for many years, hiding in the mountains, daring to fight but avoiding wars, and he has lost more than half of his vigor!"

Han Tao said: "If you fight him head-on, if you are entangled, you will definitely lose. If you have absolute combat power, if you break it in a battle, you will be defeated. But if you fight, then we don't have such combat power. Then I think, maybe Let's increase our momentum and scare this person away, even if we can't force him to retreat, it can buy us some time!"

"Scared off?"

Pan Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this, it was a good strategy, but he didn't know how to lay it out, and he was a little scratching his head. He can command the army to respond to various battle formations, but compared to these tactical layouts, he is not very good at it.

"This is called an empty city strategy!" At this time, a faint voice came from behind, it was Tan Zong who went up the city wall, and the person pushing his wheelchair was Shi A.

"Empty city plan?"

Han Tao suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Empty the city is a plan to respond to the momentum, so as to force the enemy's army not to enter half a step, what you said is true!"

Tan Zong looked at Han Tao's eyes with a little more appreciation, and said softly: "Mr. Han, you are a very capable person. Perhaps it was the downfall of Han Shijun that year, which made you lose the stage to perform. Friend, I can remind you in a friendly way, for your personal future, I suggest that after you go to my Ming Dynasty, go to the Armed Forces Hall for further studies, and maybe you can become a famous general in the world in the future!"

In Tan Zong's view, Han Tao may have such qualifications.

Even if you can't become a first-class general.

There is also the ability of first-class generals.

To be a general is a military post established by the Ming Dynasty, and it is mostly replaced by the position of military adviser. Nowadays, in the Ming army, there are not many people who can be called outstanding generals.

Even if Tan Zong is not as sophisticated as Mu Jing, he is very sharp in judging people. The Han Tao he saw was a young man who was studying, talented, and had a keen sense of touch. On the battlefield, courage is very important, and daring to think is the most important thing.

There is only a thin line between so-called geniuses and lunatics, success and failure may also be separated by a thin line, and the famous general Lian Po and Zhao Kuo, who talk about the art of war, are only a little bit short.

Although Zhao Kuo has been notorious throughout the ages, it is undeniable that his talent is enough to qualify him to be a general like Lian Po and Li Mu.

"Commander Tan, I don't know what is an empty city plan?"

Han Tao asked modestly.

"Empty city plans are actually meant to scare people. A city full of soldiers and horses cannot stop people, but an empty city may make people worry!"

Tan Zong said: "Your Majesty often says that those who can sing empty city tactics must first be bold; If someone sees through the strategy of putting it to death and then reviving it, they will break into the city without any effort to destroy it!"

"Scary?"

Pan Feng and Han Tao looked at each other.

"Do you dare to withdraw troops from Beicheng?"

Tan Zong asked.

"If the troops are withdrawn, what should Zhang Yan's troops do to attack?" Pan Feng said with a frown.

"The so-called empty city strategy is a bet that he dare not attack!"

Tan Zongdao: "I'm not good at the art of war. I'm just giving General Pan an idea. How to fight depends on General Pan. In my opinion, we can withdraw troops from Beicheng, let them in for a wave, and then open the city gate. At this time, They need to guess whether there is an ambush in the city, as long as they don't have the guts to rush in, we will have time to turn around, concentrate our main force to defeat the battle in the east of the city first, and turn around to defend!"

The problem of time difference.

After all, Pan Feng was a famous general, and Han Fuzhi valued him not only because of his bravery, but also because of his ability to command troops. His command ability was not weak.

If there are shortcomings, it is more of a lack of strategy, but with Han Tao and Tan Zong here, it can make up for all his shortcomings.

Han Tao was very talented. He gathered his learned art of war and recalled Tan Zong's suggestion. His eyes were burning and bright, and an idea was born: "Father, what Commander Tan said, I have some ideas. Maybe we can fight like this." ..."

Hearing Han Tao's quick description of a series of responses to the empty city plan, Tan Zong affirmed his own thoughts even more. This is a general with strategy and ambition.

His thoughts on Han Tao have also changed. In the past, he only wanted to take advantage of him, but if he is a talent, a rare talent, then he is the one that Daming needs.

The Ming Dynasty has always been tolerant to all rivers and rivers, and it is great to be tolerant. It absorbs talents from all over the world, strengthens itself, and prepares for the unification of the country in the future.

And what Daming lacks the most is actually talent.

"If we proceed step by step, I may not be able to withstand the situation for a few days, especially the attack of Zhang Yan's department will bring us a lot of trouble. The plan of empty city is a good strategy!"

Pan Feng was still decisive. He just pondered for a while before deciding to fight according to Han Tao's idea.

He went to set it up immediately.

On the city wall, Han Tao and Tan Zong stood side by side. Their eyes were all staring at the city, and they even saw the figure of Yuan Tan under the city.

"This will allow you to see more clearly!" Tan Zong took out a pair of binoculars.

"Sure enough, it's much clearer, like half of it!"

Han Tao looked into the binoculars and saw a familiar and unfamiliar figure, and said in a low voice: "In fact, the Han family and the Yuan family had a good relationship in the past. Yuan Shang was young, so I am not familiar with it, but Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are both There is friendship!"

"Don't you want to kill him?" Tan Zong asked.

"I thought about it before!"

Han Tao said: "Even if I don't care about Yecheng, I'm going to let my father directly attack the army outside the city and kill Yuan Tan, so as to make my thoughts clear!"

His voice changed: "But after I killed Yuan Xi, I felt that the hatred for the Yuan family is not as strong as it was before!"

He sighed: "In troubled times, maybe killing or being killed is something helpless. My father was in the chaos, so how could he not die? Even if there is no Yuan Shao, there are others , but all the princes must be entrusted to Jizhou, and my father has no ability to keep Jizhou, so sooner or later there will be such a day!"

After killing Yuan Xi, he thought through a lot of things. Of course, it doesn't mean that the hatred is gone. The enmity between him and the Yuan family is irreconcilable, and the one who should be killed is still killed.

But rationally, he now has a clearer understanding of what to do and what not to do.

"Mr. Han, you are a talent. Daming is a place where talents can be displayed. After passing this test, you will have a bright future in the future!" Tan Zong said softly.

"I didn't think so far!"

Han Tao said: "I just want to complete this plan. To be honest, I felt a little ridiculous about your plan at the beginning, but it's amazing to participate in it personally. If one day in the future, the Ming army comes in , What a scene, there will be people who will remember that this is our credit!"

This plan is not only about recruiting talents, but also about infiltrating them. Ming people are infiltrating.

"The attack has begun!" Tan Zong said, looking outside the city.

"kill!"

Some of Yuan Tan's soldiers were brought out from Qingzhou, and they could be regarded as elite soldiers in a hundred battles. Although Tai Shici had been beaten by Tai Shici in Qingzhou, Tai Shici himself was one of the famous generals, and Jiangdong was even more elite and strong. Giving it to Tai Shici does not mean that Yuan Tan is incapable.

He has been in charge of Qingzhou for many years, so he naturally has his own extraordinary side.

Yuan Tan still had a good understanding of Yecheng, and he chose the east gate, the weakest place to attack, so naturally he had his intentions.

Although the East City Gate has a moat, the moat is relatively small. In addition, the city wall of the East City Gate has been in disrepair for many years, and some places have begun to collapse.

It doesn't look clear from the outside, but Yuan Tan knows that he knows Yecheng well, if not he has a relatively deep understanding.

So after he set up his formation, he directly launched an attack on the east gate. The attack was not on the main city, but on the two wings of the city wall. Pan Feng was a little confused at first, but he quickly realized it.

"boom!"

Yuan Tan naturally prepared some siege equipment when he hid in the suburbs for a long time. He even brought two trebuchets with him when he withdrew from Qingzhou.

There are not many trebuchets. Logically speaking, it is difficult to affect the high and thick walls of Yecheng, but his attack

"Are those places newly built?" Pan Feng came back, stood on the top of the city, grabbed a military lord next to him, and asked in a cold voice.

"Last year, the flood collapsed once, and it was not repaired. It was a casual bedding!" Junhou said.
