New Story of Lv Bu

Yuan Shao's army came later than Zang Hong expected. Zang Hong attacked Changyi County in early September, immediately rectified the warfare equipment, and took strict precautions to prepare for the attack by Cao Cao or Yuan Shao. However, until the early morning of the third day of September, Cao Cao's army was still missing. It stands to reason that Changyi is only a hundred miles away from Dingtao. Cao Cao should have heard the news of Changyi's fall. But why didn't he return to his teacher immediately? For a while, the defenders in Changyi City were a little confused.

In the prefect's mansion, Zang Hong led a group of staff, his eyes fixed on the huge map hung on the screen, and he was discussing the matter. The people discussed it for a long time, and the opinions were different. In desperation, Zang Hong had to sigh. "Cao Cao is as cunning as a fox, and Yuan Shao won't sit back and watch this. Let's wait a little longer. It's time to come, sooner or later, so hurry up and prepare for war."

Zang Hong's words were also helpless words, and at this moment, he couldn't understand most in his heart. Many people have already understood the general trend of the world. If nothing happens, King Wen will rule the world just around the corner. The generations of Yuan Benchu, Cao Mengde, and Yuan Gongdao are just ants on the hot pot, and they will not be able to jump for a few days. When they were at their craziest, Zang Hong stepped in, destroying the situation that had already been done, and was bound to be madly retaliated against. Although Zang Hong had long been determined to die, he still hoped that his subordinates would survive.

At noon, I saw the smoke and dust billowing from the east, and it seemed that tens of thousands of horses and soldiers came rushing forward. After a quarter of an hour, Wen Chou's general and flag appeared in the yellow dust. According to Yuan Shao's military order, Wen Chou should lead Qingqi both day and night, rush to the city of Changyi as soon as possible, and encircle Changyi ahead of Cao Cao. However, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou suffered severe droughts, and almost no crops were harvested, and food was extremely scarce. Even Yuan Jun had to feed his hunger with mulberries. When passing by Rencheng State, Wen Chou ordered a raid, which was only two days late.

Wen Chou's military discipline has always been poor, and he has another problem, that is, he is extremely short-sighted. For this reason, he once met with Ju Yi. Yuan Jun came all the way to the west, grabbing wherever he went, and wherever he went, it was like a grates, grabbed clean. Enraged, the civilians rose up to resist, and were killed by the Wenchou army. Thousands of people were killed before they scattered around crying. Only then did Wen Chou remember Yuan Shao's general order, slapped his head, and ordered the whole army to go out. Five thousand Qingqi, but there were more than a thousand large vehicles, in desperation, had to move forward slowly.

After Wen Chou led the army to Changyi City, he immediately opened his posture, surrounded the Changyi County Town Tuan Tuan, and then ordered a camp, waiting for Lord Yuan Shao's army. After learning the news, Zang Hong in the city hurriedly went up to the city to watch the enemy. Looking down from the head of Changyi city, he saw the Wen Chou army killing sheep and cattle, and there was a burst of joy. Zang Hong couldn't help but sighed: "Hey! In the troubled times, it is the people who suffer!"

Now, the last boot also fell, and the soldiers and civilians in Changyi had to prepare desperately for the attack by Yuan Jun.

On the fifth day of September, Yuan Shao's army finally arrived at the city of Changyi, five days later than his expected arrival date. The reason is still the lack of food in the army. From the Junzhiju County of Beihai Country in Qingzhou all the way to the west, it came along the red land for thousands of miles, the farmland was dry, and almost no crops were harvested. The people ran out of their shadows long ago. They helped the old and the young and fled a few months ago. Yuan Jun was already short of food and had to feed his hunger with mulberries. What he saw and heard along the way was extremely miserable, and he couldn't find a grain of food.

The army was short of food and the soldiers could not eat enough, and the marching speed was much slower. Seeing that he couldn't reach Changyi on time, Yuan Shao felt extremely anxious. What he feared most was that Cao Cao immediately returned to his teacher and attacked Changyi with lightning speed. Without the food and grass stocked in Changyi City, his army would definitely not support it for long. In desperation, Yuan Shao had no choice but to spend his money, adding 50% of his daily food and grass supply, and his marching speed was much faster. However, after arriving in Changyi, the army's food reserves had bottomed out.

In the early morning of the sixtieth day of September, Yuan Shao let his subordinates feast and prepare to attack the city. After breakfast, Yuan Shao led the generals of the subordinate officials to the city of Changyi, and shouted to Zang Hong in the city. "Zang Hong, I asked Yuan Shao how you were treating you badly, but you raised your flag to rebel and led your army to take Changyi. Not only did you destroy my major event, but you also met me in battle. Why did you betray me like this? Say!" By this point, Yuan Shao was already angry. At this time, he still had illusions in his heart, hoping that Zang Hong would surrender to Kaicheng.

Zang Hong held the walls of Changyi with both hands, his eyes widened, and he roared loudly, "You Yuan family served the Han Dynasty, and there were five people in the four generations who served as the Sangong, which can be said to have been deeply favored by the royal family. Now the royal family is weak, but I didn’t mean to help, but I wanted to take the opportunity to plot wrongdoing and build my prestige by killing Zhongliang more. I saw you call Zhang Miao a brother, then my old master, Zhang Miao’s brother Zhang Chao, is also your brother. Everyone should Work together to kill the country, how can you stand still and watch him be killed! I hate my weakness and cannot avenge the people of the world with a knife, talk about betrayal and not betrayal. You and I are absolutely righteous, saying more is useless, and let me come here. Right! Since the day when I started my army, I Zang Hong has regarded myself as a dead person!"

Yuan Shao originally liked Zang Hong very much, but after trying to make him surrender, he would let him down. Now, seeing Zang Hong's fierce words, knowing that he would never work for himself again, he had to sigh and prepare to attack the city. "Order the whole army, prepare to attack the city! Those who first ascend to the head of the city will be promoted to the third rank, and they will be rewarded with ten stones!" In the year of great famine, the reward of ten thousand dollars for fighting rice and ten stones for food is already a rare reward. . After hearing this, Yuan Jun's entire army went crazy immediately. Everyone was gearing up and vowed to be the first ascendant.

Chen Rong, a county resident of Zang Hong’s county, came close and admired Zang Hong since he was a child. He happened to be present at this moment. When he heard this, he immediately rushed forward and said to Yuan Shao: "The general has a great responsibility and he wants to kill the world, but he first punishes him. How can you kill the loyal and righteous? Zang Hong raised his army for his old master, why should he kill him!" Yuan Shao was ashamed, sent someone to pull Chen Rong out and said to him, "You are not like Zang Hong. People, what's the use of saying these words again!" Chen Rong turned around and said, "Benevolence and righteousness do not have a certain form. Following benevolence and righteousness is a gentleman, and betraying benevolence and righteousness is a villain. Today I would rather die on the same day with Zang Hong than with the general. Born on the same day!" So Chen Rong was also killed. Everyone on the left and right sighed and talked to each other privately: "How can we kill two martyrs in one day!"

At this moment, everyone thought that under Yuan Shao's army attack, Changyi City would definitely not be able to support it for a day, so they already regarded Zang Hong as a dead person. The feats of Chen Rong and Zang Hong deeply moved them, but everyone had different positions, so they wept secretly. Looking at the Changyi county seat in front of them, many people have been thinking in their hearts, is it right or wrong to follow Yuan Shao?

After beheading Chen Rong, Yuan Shao immediately ordered an attack on the city, and Yuan Jun began a fierce attack on Changyi. Yuan Jun surrounded Changyi Tuan Tuan, first suppressed the defenders at the head of the city with bow and crossbowmen, and then the pawns screamed ants attached to the city. Yuan Jun's offensive was extremely fierce. Within a day, he ascended to the top of the city seven times. Zang Hong held the sword and took the lead, with more than a hundred swords in his hand. Inspired by him, the county soldiers in Changyi City all worked bravely, vying for the first place. On the top of the city, the corpses piled on top of each other and piled up like a hill.

The two armies fought decisively, killing more than three hours in a row, and Yuan Jun still failed to capture Changyi. Yuan Shao was in a hurry, and he ordered a non-stop attack. Generals such as Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Chunyuqiong, and senior officials all took the lead and went to the battlefield in person. The most brave and brave is Wen Chou, who must be first in every battle. He has been to the city five times, and his whole body is stained red with blood. Even the trial partner took part in three onslaughts with a sword. If it hadn't been for the guards on the left and right to stop him, Yuan Shao would have boarded the city himself. Even so, he advanced five hundred steps away from the city wall, personally directing the battle. Seeing that the generals are so brave, the soldiers and soldiers of Yuan Sergeant are excited, yelling and rushing upward one by one.

Yuan Jun's offensive was like a tide, one wave after another, they braved the dense arrow rain, and they attached to the city from all directions. The county soldiers above the city were busy sweating profusely, pouring hot oil and golden juice with a huge iron spoon, at the same time. The rolling wood and stone also poured down like a point. Yuan Jun's infantrymen who were climbing to the city from the Ants let out a horrible scream, and fell to the city one after another.

"Fork team, come on! Push down the ladder!" Zang Hong held a sword, and under the protection of a dozen soldiers, he boarded the tower and commanded the battle. The armor on his body was soaked in blood, it had become filthy, and he looked like a blood man at first glance. The county soldiers counted in groups, holding a huge fork, stretched out the head of the city, pressed tightly against the ladder, shouted, and pushed the ladder to the outside of the city wall. Under the city wall, Yuan Jun's stepmen firmly pressed the ladder with their bodies, and the two sides began to struggle.

After a while, most of the ladder was pushed away from the city wall. Yuan Jun's pawns on the ladder fell on the ground like dumplings, making a scream, and many people fell into disarray. At this time, Yuan Jun had been fighting for a long time, not only lacking food in the army, but also lacking axes, chisels, and saws. The ladders they make are mostly **** with egg-thick branches and are not strong.

Seeing the sun in the west radiate the last brilliance, Zang Hong couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. The sun is about to set. Today, Yuan Jun attacked nine times in a row, seven of which were on the top of the city. As soon as the sun sets, Yuan Jun's offensive will end. It seems that the hardest day has finally passed! Sure enough, after a while, Mingjin's voice rang loudly, and Yuan Jun finally retreated.

Unexpectedly, Changyi actually defended it! The county soldiers on the head of the city took a breath and sat down slowly. After a while, they snored loudly. "Masters! If we can survive the first day, we will be able to survive the second day and the third day! Yuan Jun lacks food and will not last forever. As long as we can persist for ten days, Yuan Shao will definitely retreat!" Zang Hong took ten. Several soldiers, patrolling the city, said loudly.
