Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 37 Huang Zu's Strategy

That night.

Cai Mao, under the protection of a group of soldiers, came to the bottom of the East Gate Tower and shouted loudly to Zhang Yun on the tower:

"Brother Zhang Yunxian, Anlu City has been surrounded by our army and will be captured tomorrow!

"I know that you do not want to surrender to the enemy, but as long as you surrender voluntarily and make meritorious contributions, I will guarantee your safety.

"Otherwise, once Anlu is forcibly taken by our army, the nature of your surrender to the enemy will be completely different!"

Seeing that Cai Mao really came to find him as Zhang Liao said, Zhang Yun's heart moved slightly.

But when one thinks of the menacing force of Lu Bu's army, both Zhang Liao and Wei Yan are rare and powerful generals.

In addition, Wei Yan was staring at him not far away.

He knew very well that if he had any ill intentions, he would soon be beheaded!

Zhang Yun could only persuade Cai Mao to surrender:

"Brother Degui, Liu Biao has no great ambitions. All he wants in his life is to be the governor of a state. We cannot rise to a higher position.

"And Lü Wenhou is both intelligent and brave, and has lofty ambitions. Following him will surely lead to great success!
"Brother Degui, listen to me. If you can take the initiative to join our army, with your water training skills, you will definitely be valued!"

Cai Mao's face suddenly turned red:

"You shameless bastard! You don't want to serve the Lord, but only want to be promoted. I am ashamed to be associated with you!
"Since you are stubborn and refuse to change, when the city is destroyed, that will be the day you lose your head!"

After saying this, Cai Mao returned to the camp angrily.

Zhang Yun looked at the other person's departing back with a complicated expression.

At this time, Wei Yan walked straight towards him with a playful smile on his face:
"General Zhang Yun is really ambitious."

Zhang Yun smiled bitterly:
"Life is only a few decades long, and I don't have any noble pursuits. I just want to be rich and comfortable."

Wei Yan glanced at Zhang Yun, sneered, and walked straight past him.

……

The Chinese military tent.

Looking at Cai Mao's angry expression, Huang Zu snorted coldly:
"Zhang Yunzhen is a scum! Since he wants to die, when we capture the city tomorrow, we will kill him first to protest!"

Cai Mao sighed:

"But in this case, it won't be so easy to capture the city..."

Huang Zu drank a glass of wine and smiled calmly:
“Although the enemy’s defense is tight, I have seen their shortcomings in today’s battle.

"Tomorrow we will attack the city from four directions simultaneously.

"The enemy army has no more than 3,000 men. After being divided into four, each side can only have 700 to 800 men.

“We still have 9,000 troops left in our army. I will send 2,000 troops to each of the three sides to launch a feint attack to attract the enemy commander’s attention.

“On the other side, I personally led 3,000 men to attack.

“The enemy only has three generals: Zhang Liao, Wei Yan and Zhang Yun, and they can only defend three sides of the city wall.

“We can use this opportunity to separate Zhang Yun and the other two generals, so that we can have a chance to persuade them to surrender again.

"Even if the enemy still refuses to surrender, I can still forcefully attack the side without a defender.

"Once I use this strategy, the enemy will be exhausted and will not be able to hold out for long.

"By then, it will be easy to capture the city!"

After hearing Huang Zu's plan, Cai Mao's eyes lit up:
"Great, great! With the general's brilliant plan, I'm sure we'll win a great victory tomorrow!"

Huang Zu laughed out loud:

"Let the soldiers rest well today, and launch a fierce attack tomorrow morning!"

Cai Mao responded and left the tent.

……

On the city floor.

Zhang Liao looked at the brightly lit camp in the distance, wondering whether he should take this opportunity to rob the camp.

But after thinking for a long time, he gave up this impulsive idea.

After all, they don't have enough troops, and if they go out rashly, they may never come back.

Moreover, there were not enough defenders in the city, which was the biggest drawback. If he made a mistake, the city would be even more difficult to defend tomorrow.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Liao suppressed his restless heart.

The only thing we need to do now is to delay time as much as possible!
……

The next morning.

Before the sun rose completely, Huang Zu had already led his army to surround Anlu County.

When Zhang Liao saw this scene, his brows slightly frowned, but he could only divide his troops into four groups to guard the four city walls.

He originally wanted to search for the enemy generals' banners among the enemy troops to find the locations of Huang Zu and Cai Mao.

However, after looking around, he couldn't find the chess piece.

Zhang Liao frowned and soon guessed the other party's plan.

But even if he guessed it, he couldn't make an effective response.

In the past, to guard Yanmen Pass, one only needed to defend one side of the city wall.

But this was the first time he had to defend all four sides like he was doing now, and he suffered a loss.

Although I have read a lot of military books, the actual operation is still different from what I imagined.

Experience is something that can only be slowly summarized after suffering losses.

Next, he could only divide his troops into four parts and let Zhang Yun guard one side alone.

However, the 800 soldiers assigned to Zhang Yun were all his own people, which could effectively prevent them from surrendering to the enemy.

But the remaining side without a defending general could only be guarded by one hundred elite cavalrymen led by nine hundred surrendered Anlu soldiers.

He and Wei Yan each led only 500 people to guard one side.

This can be regarded as balancing the city defense strength on each side as much as possible.

But it is undeniable that Zhang Yunhe's side without a defender was the easiest to attack.

Now we can only send signalmen to promptly report the situation of the city defenses on all sides.

If either side shows signs of being unable to hold on, he will immediately go over to support them!

Zhang Liao took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.

Although he felt a huge pressure in his heart, he once again found the burning feeling of excitement he had yesterday!

Looking at the enemy launching another fierce attack, a bloody arc appeared at the corner of Zhang Liao's mouth.

He waved his hand and started a new round of attack and defense!
……

Cai Mao led two thousand people and came to the East Gate where Zhang Yun was again.

Hearing the fierce shouts and screams coming from the other two sides, we did not take action immediately.

Cai Mao came to the city gate again and persuaded Zhang Yun:
"Brother Zhang, there are no outsiders now. If you are willing to open the city gate and surrender, it will be a great achievement!
"We are brothers. I will definitely ensure that you are not held accountable and may even be rewarded!"

Hearing this again, Zhang Yun smiled bitterly in his heart.

Wei Yan is indeed not here this time, but the soldiers here are all elite troops brought by Zhang Liao and Wei Yan.

If I dare to surrender, I will probably be hacked to death by this group of people immediately!

Zhang Yun responded with a wry smile:

"Brother Cai, there is no need to say more. I have already surrendered to Marquis Lu Wen. If I change again, I am afraid that no one will be able to tolerate me."

Cai Mao's face suddenly turned gloomy.

He waved his hand and retreated while countless soldiers passed by him and rushed straight towards the city!

Although Zhang Yun was helpless, he could only command his soldiers to defend.

……

Huang Zu hid among the group of soldiers and arrived at the side of the city wall where there was no guard.

Although there are obviously more soldiers on the city wall on this side than on the other three sides.

However, without a defending general, no matter how many soldiers there are, the effectiveness of defending the city will be greatly reduced.

Huang Zu is confident that he can capture the city and take Anlu today!
