Chapter 290 Entering the Central Plains Famous General Zhang He
Just after Cao Cao regained Guanzhong with lightning speed, the battle in the Central Plains was also going on fiercely.

After a whole month of non-stop offensive and defensive battles, whether it was Sun Can's army or Yuan Shao's army, their respective soldiers were exhausted and almost powerless to fight.

The mountains of corpses under the city and the blood-red ground all showed the cruelty of this war.There were stumps and broken arms all over the place, the burning flames, the wet blood on the ground, like hell on earth, the breath of death filled the battlefield.

Sun Can watched the whole team fighting Yuan Shaojun sternly, feeling very uncomfortable.It's been a month, and for more than thirty days and nights, apart from eating, drinking, and sleeping, the rest of the opponent's work is to attack the city, attack the city, and attack the city again.

The generals who commanded the siege changed one after another.From Gao Lan at the very beginning, to Lu Bu, Jiang Yiqu, Chun Yuqiong, Lu Weihuang, Zhao Rui, and now Zhang Yun, they all failed to do anything against themselves.

However, the opponent's tenacity obliterated [-] of his own [-] troops. Although the opponent's casualties were five or six times that of his own, this huge casualty also made Sun Can's heart ache.

If it weren't for the cold season at this time, the soldiers who were buried under the city of Xu Capital might have caused a rare plague.

The simple fact is that the common people are very resistant to the war. Once the battle started, they did not need to be persuaded, and they all went south to seek protection.

According to letters from Xun Yu and Gu Yong, the number of refugees received by Jing and Huai during this month has reached more than 200 million.

This is indeed good news for myself, who knows the importance of population.Originally, his bloody battle against Xudu was just to carry out the first step of Guo Jia's general plan.Unexpectedly, the long-term war made the people who didn't plan to move couldn't bear it anymore, and they took refuge in Jing and Huai one after another.

This point is unprecedented for myself and even Guo Jia.

At this moment, what Sun Can is worried about is the secret road in Xinji County by the Weishui River. The construction has started as early as January, but there is no news so far.Although Jia Xu's confidentiality work was done very well, she still felt a little uneasy.

While he was in a daze, his ears were suddenly filled with the sound of a huge horn, and another round of siege teams rushed towards him with deafening shouts.

After shooting through a burst of rain, more than 800 Yuan Shaobing successfully rushed to the city.Their military discipline is strict, and the proficient skills and battlefield intuition honed in the battlefield for many years have made most of them escape the arrow rain with ease.They flew to the city and took their places.

Taking advantage of the difficulty for the soldiers in the city to come out and shoot arrows straight down, they held their shields high, erected many ladders quickly and methodically, and began to climb upwards.

Another five or sixty people, pushing carts nailed with large wooden stakes, also came to the city gate and hit the city gate of Xudu. up.

Several people even rushed up the city wall.

Sun Can's expression tightened. If anyone in Yuan Shao's army put him under the greatest pressure, it would undoubtedly be Zhang He.This person is flexible and changeable in the use of troops, good at opportunism, and is very difficult to deal with.

A few days ago, he let himself suffer a great loss, so that his arm, which was already healed, relapsed again, which was even more serious than before.

Just six days ago, when Zhang Yun had just received the siege order from Zhao Rui, he launched a fierce offensive against Xu Du. The battle lasted for five and a half hours, from dawn to night.It was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and the corpses accumulated under the city were almost tens of thousands.

According to the custom, in order to prevent the plague from happening.After each siege battle, both sides are allowed to clean up the battlefield.

Soon after, a thousand Yuan Shao soldiers came to the city to carry the corpses of their own soldiers.

Sun Can just asked people to be careful, and did not shoot arrows.Because cleaning up the battlefield and stopping the plague is not only good for Yuan Shaojun, but also good for himself.

After Yuan Shao's soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, it was already very dark.

Sun Can also began to send soldiers to open the city to clean up the remaining battlefields, so that the soldiers who died heroically for him would have a home, so that they would not die in the wilderness.

However, when the gate of the city was wide open and the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, a few living people suddenly jumped out of the pile of dead people. There were not many people, only more than 150 people, but all of them were elites.

They hold halberds and are invincible.Killing the soldiers who cleared the battlefield is not enough.

Sun Canjun was defenseless, and the city gate fell in an instant.In the distance, Zhang Xi, who had already been on standby in the distance, also took advantage of the situation and charged over.

At that time, Gao Shun, Zhang Fei, Hua Xiong and other generals were all absent, and the only general who could fight was Liao Hua, who was defending the city.Liao Hua is a steady and loyal man, he is a tough guy who is not afraid of life and death, and bravely steps forward in a battle.However, the ability to direct changes is mediocre.

Where could it be Zhang He's opponent?Although he fought hard to the death, he could only be forced to retreat slowly.

At that time, Sun Can was patrolling the city wall with Guo Jia, Jia Xu and other counselors, and happened to encounter this incident.

Time is not with me, Sun Can has no idea, only knows that if the city gate falls, his [-] soldiers will be completely wiped out by the opponent's hundreds of thousands of troops.Immediately rushed down the city wall, commanding the rebel army to resist Zhang He's offensive.

As a general, Sun Can personally fought side by side with the soldiers, and the morale of the soldiers greatly improved.

Sun Can's martial arts are not weak at all. He has a golden battle armor to protect him, and a magic soldier with a lightsaber to help him out. He immediately became an invulnerable killing machine.

With Sun Can's efforts, the defenders finally held on to the battle until Zhang Fei's arrival.

Charged into the battle, Zhang Fei was naturally more skilled than Sun Can, took over Sun Can's burden, and stuck Zhang He at the gate of the city. Only then did the city gate guard Xudu.

Sun Can has a treasure armor to defend himself, and it is difficult for ordinary swords to touch him, but the fierce slashing caused his wound that was about to heal to burst open, and his shoulder injury worsened.For this reason, he was nagged by the doctor Qiao Ying for a long time.

Zhang Yun's battle was extremely beautiful, if Sun Can hadn't happened to be nearby, perhaps Xu Du would already belong to Yuan Shao at this moment.

This time his sword took a slant, which was unexpected.Even thinking about it now, Sun Can couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, feeling admiration in his heart.Pretending to be dead, he used it when dealing with Cai Mao back then, but he didn't think it could be used in this place.

Similarly, for Sun Can, Zhang Xi also had to obey. As a commander, at such a critical juncture, when he might lose his head at any time, he joined the battle without hesitation and saved the defeat. This kind of courage is indeed among the many princes. rare.

Zhang Xi put his mind on the battlefield, and saw two soldiers who had climbed the ladder first, dancing and falling from the top of the city.Then came the third, fourth... After a little effort, all the soldiers who had just rushed up turned into corpses and were thrown off the city wall.

Zhang Xi's eyes widened, feeling a little strange, the most important thing is to rush to the city's vanguard.Generally speaking, those who take up this position are either warriors with outstanding martial arts skills who regard death as home, or death row prisoners who violated military laws and were pulled closer to the front line because they were supposed to be executed. , unstoppable.

These soldiers of mine originally belonged to the direct line of Qu Yi, the number one general in the Yuan camp, and they were the first to die.Because Qu Yi was captured, Yuan Shao assigned Xiandeng's dead man to his third son Yuan Shang.

The dead man Xiandeng followed Qu Yi for many years, and he was loyal to Qu Yi, and Yuan Shang was a child of a family, full of arrogance.First climb to the dead man's place and obey Yuan Shang's discipline.

Later, Yuan Shang executed three Xiandeng dead men for some trivial matters.

The strength of a team does not lie in their individual strength, but in group strength.

The reason why the trapped camp is always invincible, the key lies in the tacit cooperation between them.

Simply put, one tiger can kill three wolves, but a hundred tigers may not beat eighty wolves.The gap between them is fit.

Wolves live in packs and are good at fighting in groups. The more people there are, the more powerful they are.Tigers like to act alone, the more the number, the weaker the strength.

The Xiandeng dead soldiers are also a team that is good at fighting in groups. Their cooperation is very tacit, so the relationship is also very harmonious.Seeing that his brother who was born and died together was killed by Yuan Shang because of a trivial matter, he was very dissatisfied, and his temper simply turned against him, screaming to save Qu Yi, and rushed out of Jizhou.

However, there were only about 70 dead soldiers who ascended first, which was nothing in Yuan Shaojun's [-] army.To put it bluntly, one pee is enough to drown them.Not long after, a group of people were captured.

Knowing the combat effectiveness of this group of people, Zhang He rescued them from Yuan Shao's sword and sent them as attack vanguards, and he promised these people that as long as they captured Xudu, they would persuade Yuan Shao to release Qu Yi.

As a result, the morale of these first ascended dead soldiers was greatly shaken, and they rushed towards Xu Du like wolves and tigers.

With tacit cooperation and strong strength, they killed the city wall in the first time.Obviously succeeded, but he didn't expect these dead soldiers to be cut off like melons and vegetables by the guards.

At this time, a dead man who climbed first just jumped onto the top of the wall. Before he could stand still, his head flew into the air amidst the blood splattering. Several soldiers behind took it down together.

A burly man appeared on the city wall. He waved a spear and no one could pass in front of him.

Just when Zhang Fei killed the soldiers off the city wall, more than 20 ladders were held up by long poles, one with a person and one ladder, and they were overturned one by one.

At this time, hot oil fell from the top of the city, followed by lit torches and hay, and the city immediately became a sea of ​​flames, and screams were heard endlessly.

Zhang Yun sighed: "Defending the city is based on wounding and killing the enemy! Sun Can will not let go of any opportunity that can be used."

"Withdraw!" The siege campaign failed again. (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please visit www.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
