The infantry advanced to the bottom of the camp, and ropes were tied around the wooden fence of the camp. Then, with the force of hundreds of people, there was a loud bang, and the wooden fence was pulled down directly.

"Kill!"

"kill!"

As the infantry advanced, the sergeants of Wen Chou Army, in extreme fear, wanted to make a final resistance.

Suddenly, shouts of 'Whoever surrenders will avoid death' rang out in the military formation!

The sergeants of Wen Chou Army wanted to risk their lives. Those who were determined to fight to the death surrendered one after another when they heard that surrendering would save them from death.

When Wen Chou saw this, he knew that the situation was over, so he led some soldiers and horses to fight out from one side of the camp gate.

At this time, Taishi Ci, Dian Wei and others led He led the cavalry in pursuit.

One night later, although Wen Chou escaped by chance, there were less than a hundred soldiers and horses around him.

The soldiers and horses under his original command either escaped, were captured, or were killed.

Wen Chou originally wanted to gather the defeated troops as much as possible, but Zhou Cheng's troops The cavalry was still chasing them.

Wen Chou had no choice but to give up gathering the defeated troops and go south to Guangzong.

Guangzong had surrendered to Yuan Shao and fled to Guangzong, but he could gain temporary safety.

……

After Zhou Cheng defeated Wen Chou, he was not in a hurry to continue southward, but first prepared to conquer Yitao.

Because he had the experience of conquering Yitao City beforehand.

Therefore, Zhou Cheng was very confident in capturing Yitao.

In Yingtao City, the current Julu Governor is called Zhao Ping. He is quite capable, otherwise he would not be able to defend Cherry City.

At this time, Zhou Cheng sent Taishi Ci to Yitao City and asked Zhao Ping to surrender.

At the same time, Zhou Cheng also took up a posture to attack the city.

Unlike Wen Chou, Zhou Cheng had a large number of siege equipment. If he wanted to attack the city, it would not be very difficult.

Taishi Ci rode his horse to the outside of Yitao City and shouted towards the city:"Where is the Julu Prefect?"

Zhao Ping stuck his head out of the wall and shouted:"I am the Julu Prefect, what do you want?!"

Taishi Ci shouted:"My lord is the shepherd of Jizhou. He defeated Wen Chou last night. I sent someone to recruit you to surrender. I hope that the prefect will put the people in Yingtao City first and not start another war."

After hearing this, Zhao Ping replied:" I, Yuan Benchu, will not surrender to thieves!"

Taishi Ci frowned, then rode back to Zhou Cheng.

Zhao Ping refused to surrender.

This is also reasonable.

He would rather die in battle than surrender to the thieves, but he has the character of a scholar.

However, in this case, Zhou Cheng would have to order an attack on the city and lose some troops and horses.

Fortunately, many prisoners surrendered yesterday. We organized them into death fighting camps and attacked the city together with the Rouran and Xianbei people to minimize our losses.

……

When Yitao City was captured, Yan Liang and Zhang He joined forces in Guangzong.

At this time, Zhou Cheng asked Xu He and Sima Ju to lead their own troops and stay at Ying Tao while the large army continued to move south.

The scouts had already investigated, and Yan Liang and Zhang He joined forces in Guangzong, so Zhou Cheng went straight to Guangzong.

Inside Guangzong City.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang He were discussing how to fight.

Zhang He said:"Zhou Cheng is good at fighting, his soldiers are brave, and he is not afraid of death. If we fight with him in the wild, we will definitely lose."

Yan Liang had a displeased expression on his face.

He and Wen Chou were Yuan Shao's most trusted generals.

Zhang He used to be Han Fu's military commander, but now he is a new ally. He doesn't think about how to defeat his opponent, but he uses other people's ambitions to destroy his own prestige.

However, Wen Chou did not rebuke Zhang He, but said:"The moth thieves have elite troops and horses, and their cavalry and infantry are better than our army. They also have a large number of siege equipment. If they defend the city, I am afraid that Guangzong will also find it difficult to defend it."

Yan Lianghe Wen Chou was a close friend. At this time, Wen Chou recognized Zhou Cheng's power, and Yan Liang could not pursue Zhang He.

Yan Liang said:"Jun Yi is guarding Guangzong, and I will lead the army to station outside the city. If the moth thieves come to attack Guangzong, I will lead the army to attack them."

Zhang He felt that something was wrong, so he persuaded him:"The moth thieves have a strong front. If we divide our troops to intercept them, Our army, it is difficult for our army to win. It is better to temporarily withdraw from Handan and Maocheng to lure the moth thieves deeper. We can use the terrain along the way to set up ambushes and drain their energy. We will wait for the lord to reorganize the troops and horses in each county and then look for opportunities to defeat the enemy."

Zhang He He uses his troops skillfully, arranges his camps well, and is good at making use of the terrain. He will not rigidly defend a city and worry about the gains and losses of a city at the same time.

Yan Liang frowned and said,"My lord ordered us to resist the enemy. How can we retreat before fighting?"

After all, Zhang He is a new ally of Yuan Shao. He has a humble position and can only obey Yan Liang's orders.

……

Zhou Cheng led his army and horses and stationed them twenty miles outside the north gate of Guangzong.

A scout had just reported that Yan Liang had led his army to leave Guangzong and set up camp on the hilltop outside the city.

It seems that he wants to protect the horns with Guang Zong.

If Zhou Cheng attacked Guangzong, Yan Liang would lead his army to attack Zhou Cheng's rear.

If Zhou Cheng attacked Guangzong and Yanliang's camp at the same time, he would need to divide his troops to fight, and the siege equipment could not be combined in one place.

However, in Zhou Cheng's many years of fighting, he had seen too many such formations.

Just as the officers and soldiers like to rob strongholds and attack with fire at night, when the officers and soldiers defend the city, they must divide their troops outside the city and act as horns to each other.

It's all just routine, without much heart.

Zhou Cheng said:"Ziyi, I order you to lead the three battalions of dare to die, Yongrui and Death Dou to attack Yan Liang with all their strength."

"Here!"Tai Shi Ci took the order.

As Tai Shi Ci led his troops to the foot of the mountain, the horn sounded, and the air of murder came to the top of the mountain.
