The next day, nothing happened again.

Cheng Yu still sent three messengers out of the city to "deliver the message", but they were still blocked by Zhang Liao's troops and then returned to the city.

Zhang Liao did not take this seriously, but he did not underestimate the enemy either. He ordered his soldiers to sleep with their clothes on at night and pay close attention to the situation in the city to prevent the messengers sent by Cao Zhen and Cheng Yu in two days from being blocked, which would lead to a crisis.

Forced a breakout.

However, when it comes to reinforcements, they are a little more relaxed.

After all, even if Cao Zhen and Cheng Yu had sent messengers in advance, the messengers might not have arrived in Juancheng at this time, and there would be no reinforcements at all...

Unless the messenger can fly!

Or maybe the reinforcements can fly!

In this way, the time soon came to night.

There was peace in the valley city. Except for some torches used for lighting on the city wall and soldiers standing guard, there was nothing different from the previous two days.

"Prefect, let's go and rest first. The general has followed the order today and dug three horse-repelling trenches outside the two city gates. He also arranged a large number of archers behind the trenches. Even if the enemy forces in the city want to break out at night, they will definitely be defeated.

These three horse-repelling trenches were delayed, and our troops, sleeping in their clothes, had no time to react. At that time, we could take the lead and shoot randomly with bows and arrows, which could injure at least half of the enemy."

The general on duty at night raised his hands and said, "I'm not afraid of the enemy's breakthrough, I'm just afraid that they won't dare to break through."

"Still don't be careless and arrange our main army near the city gate."

Zhang Liao pondered for a while, but couldn't think of any other possibility, so he gave the instructions again and returned to the military tent to rest.

Gradually, it became quiet outside the city, and even the light from the torches became much less intense.

At least half of Zhang Liao's soldiers fell asleep, and some of the remaining half dozed off.

On such a quiet night, if there was any movement at the city gate, they would be alerted immediately, and those horse-repelling ditches would be enough to provide them with enough reaction time.

As for those outside the encirclement, that is, behind them, no one was worried at all.

Because...it's impossible.

result.

The night is getting darker.

It was just after Hai hour.

"kill--!"

"Kill--!"

A large fire suddenly lit up, and overwhelming shouts of killing came from outside the encirclement. Thousands of soldiers and horses swarmed towards Zhang Liao's troops like a black tide in the night.

!!!

???

The sweet dreams of every soldier under Zhang Liao were suddenly awakened at this moment.

The archers and main troops who were placed near the city gate immediately stood up.

The archers have already developed muscle memory in battle after battle, and they can bend the bow and arrow in one go, but when they aim the arrow in the direction of the city gate, they are completely confused.

Where is this... person?

The city gate didn't open at all, and there wasn't a single person there?

The soldiers of the main force holding weapons also looked confused.

yes?

Why is there no one there?

"Behind! Behind! Enemy attack! Return to rescue quickly!"

…

"what happened!?"

Zhang Liao ran out of the tent in a panic with his crescent halberd in hand. He happened to meet the general who was running to tell him, and immediately grabbed him by the collar and asked loudly.

"Back to the prefect! A large number of troops suddenly came from behind us. Unfortunately, our main force was all arranged in the front. We were unable to resist for a while. The general has already ordered the main force to be brought back to defend with all our strength!"

The general didn't even have time to straighten his crooked helmet, and quickly frowned and replied.

"Have you figured out who these soldiers are from?"

Zhang Liao immediately asked again.

"Okay, it seems like reinforcements from Juancheng..."

The general said somewhat unconfidently.

"impossible!"

Zhang Liao immediately shouted loudly, "I said, if the messenger or Juancheng reinforcements hadn't grown wings, they would never have appeared here at this time, absolutely impossible!"

"..."

The general did not dare to speak nonsense. At this time, several more generals rushed to report: "Prefect, we have found out clearly that these people are indeed Juancheng soldiers, but why they can appear here at this time is unclear.

And you know, we really can’t figure it out!”

"snort--"

Zhang Liao made a dull nasal sound. Everyone could hear the annoyance in his heart, but most of them were still puzzled.

"Prefect, we have ordered the main force to turn back for rescue. Please take charge, Prefect!"

The situation is urgent, the generals said quickly.

"Save the ass!"

Zhang Liao immediately shouted, "Now that the reinforcements have arrived, our army is completely unprepared. As a result, we cannot look at each other and fall into chaos. Seeing this situation, the defenders in the city will definitely go out of the city and besiege the reinforcements. How can we rescue them?"

"Withdraw troops!"

"Liao Yun, Zhang Qi, you two lead a main force to the rear, fight and then retreat. The remaining people will immediately evacuate with me to the west. No one is allowed to fight, otherwise they will not be able to leave!"

The words just fell.

"kill--!"

"Kill--!"

The walls of Gucheng were illuminated by fire like daylight. The city gate below opened immediately, and the defenders in the city swarmed out. The shouts of killing shook the heaven and the earth...

…

Early next morning.

"Emmm...the north should be as stable as an old dog now."

Wu Liang read the contents on the silk cloth and nodded slightly.

The legendary Zhang Liao was defeated easily.

In the end, they could only break through the encirclement with the few remaining troops and fled westward.

This victory is of great significance. It will definitely make the wavering city guards in the north see the strength of Cao's army. Very few people will dare to continue to cause trouble, unless they don't want their lives, and it is the life of the whole clan.

With this in mind, Wu Liang called Chen Jinshui over again: "Old Chen, could you please go to Sima's house and give this thing to Xun Sima, so that he can be happy as well."

This time, Xun Yu did not go out personally to help Gucheng.

Instead, he sent one of his generals to do the job for him, and he continued to stay in Juancheng to guard him at all times.

Next comes the time of the Civil War, which is divided between Puyang and Juancheng. This war should not last long. When Boss Cao, who was in full swing, led his army back to join the war, it was the time when Yanzhou calmed down completely.

And next.

It's time to reward your merits.

If he could completely control the Hu army this time, Wu Liangzhong already had a plan.

He wanted to take advantage of the approaching winter to go to Yuzhang County in the south.

There is a tomb of Haihunhou with the largest amount of gold discovered in later archaeological history. It is reported that a total of 115 kilograms of gold were unearthed in it.

This is enough to prove that... the tomb of Haihunhou was stolen before it was officially excavated in 2015!

Because Wu Liang has discovered two Han tombs so far, and he has never encountered one that is poorer than the tomb of Haihunhou. After all, Haihunhou was also the emperor for 27 days, how could he be so poor!

Emmm... So the tomb of Marquis Haihun must be protected in advance!

Do this.

First of all, it’s because there is no heating in this era, and you know how difficult the winter in the north is.

Secondly, it is to finish this matter before Yuzhang County is still a neutral land without ownership.
Chapter completed!
