Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 48 The Battle of Ye City (10) - Preparations

Since the 10,000 yellow scarf soldiers led by Guan Hai came to Yecheng, Zhang Jiao's confidence increased greatly. He ordered the [-]+ army to move forward and set up a camp three miles away from Yecheng.

Zhangjiao camp.

"My lord said that you were repeatedly ambushed by the enemy when you were fighting Zhao Lei, and none of your generals could beat Zhao Yun. Therefore, I suggest that you attack Yecheng directly, so that Zhao Lei's two advantages will no longer exist. And we have an absolute advantage in numbers, as long as we make a strong attack, Yecheng will be destroyed." Guan Hai analyzed.

When Zhang Jiao heard this, he thought it was reasonable, so he ordered people to build siege equipment, and prepared to attack Yecheng by force.

Zhao Lei's side.

"Zhang Jiao and Guan Hai are now raising troops together. The soldiers are approaching the city, and they will not leave for a few days. His subordinates are worried that they are building siege equipment, and they are going to attack Yecheng by force." Jia Xu told Zhao Lei.

"I'm not so worried about other aspects, but I'm afraid that Zhang Jiao will attack Yecheng with the advantage of numbers. This is our most fatal weakness." Zhang Han analyzed.

Zhao Lei also deeply agrees in his heart.In siege warfare, strategy is less important, and numbers are more important.

"My lord, it looks like we have to get ready." Zhang Han said.

"How to prepare? Second brother, please tell me clearly." Zhao Lei asked

"Le Jin, Li Tong and two generals will bring five hundred soldiers to boil several large barrels of boiling water in every corner of the tower tomorrow. When Zhang Jiao attacks the city, order some soldiers to pour the boiling water down the tower. I will scald those soldiers to pieces. Zhou Cang took out the wooden pointed pillars I had stored in the warehouse before, and each soldier guarding the tower held one. Once the enemy climbed the tower, he would stab them down with this thing; Dispatch, Gao Shun guards the west gate and Gao Lan guards the south gate. Although there is no enemy attacking the two gates, they must be treated with caution to prevent a small number of enemy troops from sneaking in. Dian Wei guards the north gate, there may be a few Some of Guan Hai's army and horses were ready to move back, and Zilong and his lord were guarding the east gate with the most powerful troops. Mr. Jia asked Mr. Jia to take 500 people from the west gate and go straight to Changshan, and carry more stones from Changshan to Yecheng to attack Get rid of those yellow turban thieves who used the ladder to strengthen the city. With my previous mandala juice, I believe Zhang Jiao should not be able to take down Yecheng even if he attacked." Zhang Han said.

"My lord, I would like to add something." Jia Xu waited for Zhang Han to finish speaking.

"Mr. Jia, please tell me." Zhao Lei motioned.

"Part of the land in the eastern part of Yecheng is relatively soft. In order to prevent the enemy from digging tunnels and sneaking in, I suggest that the Lord send some soldiers to strengthen local patrols." Jia Xu added.

"Okay, then implement according to your plan." Zhao Lei said.

Suddenly, a messenger came to report.

"Report, tell my lord that Zhonglang will send a letter to Mr. Huangfusong." The guard handed the letter to Zhao Lei for review.

"What did the Lord's letter say?" Zhang Han asked.

"Huangfusong said that because of Zhang Jiao's secret operations in Luoyang, he led the Yellow Turban Army who had ambushed a long time ago to attack the palace. As a result, Huangfusong's army had to return to Luoyang to rescue them when they reached the Yellow River Ferry, so it was delayed for some time. Now that the army is ready to cross the river, he asked me to wait ten more days and stick to Jizhou." Zhao Lei read the general situation in the letter to everyone.

"My lord, although we only need to stay for ten days, the pressure of the [-] people is not small on us." Zhang Han said.

"Zizhou is right. If Zhang Jiao comes to attack the city every day, it will put a lot of pressure on the soldiers defending the city." Jia Xu also agreed with Zhang Han's point of view.

"No matter what, if we can't hold it, we have to hold it. We have no way out. If we are united, we will definitely defeat the Yellow Turban Bandit." Zhao Lei encouraged his morale.

"The subordinates will definitely do everything they can to keep the city of Ye." They said.

After the meeting, Jia Xu immediately led a group of people to Changshan to carry large and small stones for the defense of the city; Lejin and Zhoucang dispatched people to boil hot water in every corner of the tower; Wei guarded the south, west, and north gates respectively, while Zhou Cang distributed the wooden pointed pillars to every soldier guarding the tower according to Zhang Han's instructions. Many soldiers patrolled some areas with relatively soft soil in the east of the city.All the archers and axemen on the towers have first-level combat readiness.The entire city of Ye was put on high-level alert. Zhao Lei ordered the people not to leave the city or enter the city. At night, they must all go home and not hang out on the street. Angle spy processing.

The night soon came, and Zhao Lei, accompanied by Zhang Han and Zhao Yun, went up to the tower, and felt the cold wind. He looked around and saw that the Yellow Turban Barracks was brightly lit, and countless torches illuminated half of the sky outside Yecheng.

"It seems that the number of the Yellow Turban Army has indeed increased a lot. If they attack the city, we will definitely fall into a hard fight." Zhang Han said with emotion.

"I don't know how I will feel when I see the scene of the siege?" Zhao Lei said to himself.

"Anyway, it won't be a good feeling." Zhang Han joked.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, when defending the city, don't be merciful to the enemy. My master told me that people must have a benevolent heart, and do more good deeds to accumulate virtue. But when encountering danger, the kindness to the enemy It is cruel to oneself." Zhao Yun said to Zhao Lei and Zhang Han.

The two nodded. After all, they came from modern times and had never seen any bloody scenes, so they were terrified in their hearts.Zhao Yun may have seen the fear in the hearts of the two, and reminded them.

After staying for a while, Zhao Lei walked down the tower. He wanted to rest early and wait for the coming of this big battle.

Zhangjiao barracks.

"My lord, the siege equipment has been built in the past few days, and the city can be attacked in a few days." Guan Hai said to Zhang Jiao.

"Well, then tomorrow we will lead the army to capture Yecheng in one fell swoop." Zhang Jiao said.

"My lord, I see that the number of guards on the city towers in Yecheng has increased today, and the defenses are tight. It seems that we will attack Yecheng, and a hard fight is inevitable. But fortunately, we have a large number of troops, and we have the biggest advantage in the siege battle." Guan Hai analyzed.

"No matter how hard the battle is, or how many people there are, Yecheng must be taken. I have received news that the army and horses deployed in Luoyang have been wiped out, and now Huangfusong's troops are ready to cross the Yellow River. If we can Huangfusong would not dare to enter Jizhou easily if the imperial army captured Yecheng before crossing the river. If the reinforcements from Jizhou arrive, we will not have the advantage in numbers, so the situation will be very passive.” Zhang Jiao said.

"My lord Mingjian, my subordinates will definitely do my best to help my lord capture Yecheng and Jizhou." Guan Hai clasped his fists and said.

"It's getting late, General Guan should go down to rest too! Let's take Yecheng together tomorrow." Zhang Jiao said, waving his hand.

"Yes, this subordinate is resigning." Guan Hai withdrew.
