"Every time to prepare a veterinarian, the more you call, the better, let them go with the army, so as not to capture the enemy's war horses on the battlefield like in the previous few times, and they died and were disabled because the war horses were injured and could not be cured in time.

It will be wasted if you use it on the battlefield.”

This was the first reaction of Deputy Director Tao after learning that his father-in-law was about to send a large number of cavalry to teach him a lesson. Deputy Director Tao, who had been prepared for this, did not hesitate. While quickly sending messengers to ask Boss Cao for help, he immediately summoned many people.

Accomplices and lackeys, discuss and formulate strategies for the fight.

When Deputy Director Tao started to prepare for the battle, our Baishao Young Master Tan had already led his army to retreat from Fenggao City to Qingzhou and began to arrange strategies to attack Xuzhou Langya County, but he threw the happy Young Master Yuan Tan's head on.

A cup of cold water was that Mr. Yuan Tan's deputy, the wise Qingzhou non-man, was engaged in Xinpi, who firmly opposed the launch of this war, and also urged Mr. Yuan Tan to come forward and prevent Mr. Yuan San from launching this battle.

fighting.

"Young Master, Tao Yingqin is indeed hateful, and he deserves to die, but it is not very meaningful to send troops now." Xinpi, who was truly a talented man above his brother Xin Ping, persuaded with great sincerity: "The main force of our army has already gone north to the north

In addition to guarding against Cao Mengde, who had already had a feud with our army, the troops on the southern front could not draw too many troops to attack Xuzhou. Xuzhou's main force was on the northern front and also raised strength for a long time. Our army attacked the strong with weak and

Not only are there a small chance of winning, but there may be a chance of losing."

"The time for sending troops to attack Tao is too inappropriate, so the eldest son would better advise the lord to be patient for the time being, please take a step back and the sea is vast and empty, and temporarily have to be with the pottery thief. When our main force of our army wiped out Gongsun Zan and returned to the army.

Going south, not to mention teaching Tao a lesson, even if you take over the entire Xuzhou area in one fell swoop, it is not hopeless. Now sending troops to attack Tao will be difficult to achieve great results except for waste of troops, horses, money and food."

"George is too short-lived." Mr. Yuan Tan said unhappily: "Tao Ying's little thief is ungrateful and dares to collude with Cao Aman to check and balance his father's orders, and refuses to obey his father's orders. Such an unfilial and unrighteous thief, if he does not punish him quickly and severely, his father's face will be

How can the princes despise their father's dignity?"

Speaking of this, Mr. Yuan Tan gritted his teeth and added, "Besides, Tao Ying Xiaozhe is best at flattery and flattery. If I don't seize this opportunity, my father and him will be completely disgraced, maybe I won't be able to do so.

How long will the Tao thief use his son-in-law to try every means to please his father and make his father relax his guard against him. He took the opportunity to hook up with Yuan Shang and join forces to frame me in front of his father!"

"But when we send troops at this time, we have no chance of winning?" Xinpi said with a bitter face: "The eldest son has been besieging Fenggao for more than two months, but he has not taken down Fenggao City. Now he has been attacking the Taoist thief and his son for many years.

Langya City, the chance of winning is really not very good.”

"I have been attacking Fenggao for a long time, all because the little thief Tao Ying released water on the southern line and deliberately instigated the main force of Lu Qian's thief to return to Fenggao! Also because of my insufficient troops, there are no subsequent reinforcements." Mr. Yuan Tan did not

He defended happily and said viciously: "But even so, I still took down four cities in Laiwu, Yingxian, Boxian and Mouxian, and beat Lu Qian's thief to ask for help from Xiahou Dun of Yanzhou!"

"It's different now." Mr. Yuan Tan said with a grin and grinned again: "The combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou bandit army is far less than that of the Cao bandit team. Langya County is also widely and has sparse land and few rivers, which is just suitable for the Youyan Iron Cavalry under my command to show its strengths.

, At that time, don’t say that Tao Ying’s little thief dare not bring the troops from Xuzhou to the north to rescue. Even if he takes all the main forces of Xuzhou’s thief army to the north, I can still let him go without a reply and let him vent his heart.

hatred!"

Still the same thing, although the Grand Duke of Yuan San was unfortunately the son-in-law of Deputy Director Tao, he knew very little about the current real situation of the son-in-law army and had no idea what the son-in-law army had developed, so he was also not enough for the Xuzhou army.

Although Xinpi, who knew about it, tried his best to persuade Yuan Tan not to start a war, he still could not provide a strong judgment to convince Mr. Yuan Tan to obey his opinions. He could only watch Mr. Yuan Tan helplessly and actively prepare for the southern expedition to Langya.

What made Master Yuan Tan feel more confident is still behind. In the evening of the day, the Grand Duke of Yuan Yuan ordered the general Chunyu Qiong to bring five thousand Wuwan cavalry to Prince Yuan Tan - this is also the most important thing on the southern line.

Rui was in the reserve team, and at the same time, the Grand Duke of Yuan Tan also sent Mr. Yuan Tan's right-hand assistant Guo Tu and Guo to Qingzhou, preparing to give advice to Mr. Yuan Tan and help Mr. Yuan Tan to promote troops to the south.

In addition, the third Duke of Yuan Yuan also asked Guo Tu to bring a sentence to Mr. Yuan Tan, "Boy Tao Ying must teach a lesson, teach many lessons, let him know who is his greatest dependence! But the attack cannot be too deep

, one must prevent the lonely army from falling into danger. If Tao Ying sends an envoy to seek peace, it is acceptable and report it to the father for another disposal."

But unfortunately, Mr. Yuan Tan, who deeply hated Deputy Director Tao and was eager to make achievements and prove himself, chose to ignore the last two sentences of Yuan Sangong.

Of course, Mr. Yuan Tan, who had been fighting with his father for many years, did not completely underestimate the enemy. At least he did not recklessly and led his army directly into Langya, Xuzhou. He sent a large number of scouts to investigate the movements of the Xuzhou army, but let the

Mr. Yuan Tan sneered repeatedly that the only adjustment that Deputy Director Tao made in Langya County was to send a surrendered general named Qiao Rui, who led his army of 3,000 to Ju County to take over defense and assist Xuzhou Langya.

Prime Minister Xiao Jian guards Ju County, the second most important town in Langya County. As for Kaiyang City, the largest town in Langya, Deputy Director Tao did not make any adjustments, and asked Sun Guan to lead the army to guard it. The unknown number of Xuzhou's main force Zetun

He was stationed in the southernmost part of Langya County, Jiqiu, and did not hurry to go to the cities in Langya to wait for their labor.

"Why is the Tao thief arranged this way? This is completely unreasonable?" The resourceful Mr. Xinpi completely couldn't understand the arrangement of Deputy Director Tao.

"The pottery thief is indeed famous and his number of cavalry is far less than that of our army. He has not seized the time to let the slow-mobile infantry team go north to defend the city, and is ready to keep it in the field to massacre our cavalry. He is really an incompetent person.

"This is Mr. Yuan Tan's contemptuous evaluation of Deputy Director Tao's tactics.

"The Taoist thief may have wanted to lure the enemy into the depths, and gave up the other cities of Langya County to guard Ju County and Kaiyang, so that our army could only make two choices when food and grass are insufficient. One is to withdraw the troops, and the other is to go deeper alone.

That is the conclusion drawn by Mr. Guo Tu, and then Mr. Guo Tu laughed and said, "But this is the best arrangement for our army.

As long as we take Ju County and Kaiyang, our army will gain a firm foothold in Langya. In the future, it will be much easier to conquer the prosperous Donghai and Pengcheng counties."

When this conclusion came to this conclusion, the young master Yuan Tan, who was very powerful, left his deputy Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang brothers and Zhao Yun and other generals to guard Qingzhou, and had led an army of 20,000 to the Langya County, the northernmost counties of Langya.

Dongwu City had never received reinforcements from the main force behind the rear and was unable to compete with the Jizhou army. So they decided to open the city and surrender together, which made the proud and proud Master Yuan Tan finally win the championship. And even more, Yuan even made him win.

Mr. Tan was overjoyed that Deputy Director Tao had not transported away the money and grain stored in these two counties before. Not only did he save Mr. Yuan Tan for free, but he also reduced some logistics burden for Mr. Yuan Tan's army.

Then I learned from the entrance of the surrendered county magistrate Chen Ci and others that the same situation in Yishui, Dong'an and Langya counties in the north of Langya County were the same. The money and grain stocks stored in the city were not transferred by the Xuzhou army. Mr. Yuan Tan was inevitably greedy.

Nian Dasheng once planned to divide his troops to capture these cities and seize grain. Fortunately, Guo Tu and Xinpi tried their best to persuade them, saying that these cities were located in a remote area, with little food and inconvenient transportation, so it would be better to take them down first.

The important towns of Ju County in the hinterland of Langya were cut off the connection between these remote counties and Xuzhou base camp, and then the order could be issued, without the need to break up the few troops that were already small to attack.

Mr. Yuan Tan is also a good young man and a good commander. After thinking that Guo Tu and Xin Pi were right, he did not hesitate. He immediately led the cavalry as the vanguard to lead the cavalry to open the way, leading the army to attack Ju County, and it was still very

Careful and sent scouts to investigate the movements of the Xuzhou army in detail to avoid falling into the trap when the away game was incorrectly involved.

After three deaths, Prince Yuan Tan's army successfully arrived at the city of Ju County, the hinterland of Langya County. Xiao Jian and Qiao Rui, the governors of the Xuzhou army, did not dare to go out of the city to fight, but just took back their troops and defended the city to death. Seeing the enemy entering the company

He didn't have the courage to meet him. Prince Yuan Tan was so proud that he would not wait for the camp to set up and immediately led Guo Tu, Xinpi, Chunyu Qiong and Cen Bi to explore the city below Ju County.

Looking for a strategy to break the city. But after actually reaching the city of Ju County, Mr. Yuan Tan was stunned on the spot and exclaimed on the spot, "It's a dog! This city is not easy to attack!"

What made Mr. Yuan Tan scream like this was of course the city defense fortifications in Ju County was a bit too perfect, and it was almost distorted. It was obvious that the city walls were reinforced and repaired, and all the buildings on the city were covered.

Needless to say, the protection ropes of the Thunderbolt Vehicles are protected, the moat has been significantly widened and deepened, and the Shushui water on the east side of Ju County was introduced, which is more than three meters wide, and the water flow is fast, making it difficult to cross and fill.

A new civil-structured sheep and horse wall was built between the moat and the city wall. In front of the sheep and horse wall were densely packed with sharp antlers, and behind the sheep and horse wall, defenders could be arranged at any time to use crossbows to kill the enemy opposite the moat.

The garrison on the city wall is even more abnormal. More than twenty thunderbolt cars were installed directly on the city wall. Each of the gaps in the arrows was equipped with flails. Yasha with sharp iron horns was everywhere at the top of the city wall. The corner tower was hanging on the spleen and turning shè

There is no opportunity or lack, and the sheep-headed stones piled up on the city walls are even seen standing outside the city. Such city defense preparations are not only attacked, but also standing under the city and looking at them, and then giving them a kind of scalp hair.

Feeling numb.

"How can Ju County be so tightly guarded? The thief Tian Kai's thief's Linzi nest is not so tightly guarded!" Mr. Yuan Tan exclaimed again.

"No wonder Tao Weishi ān thieves dared to let our army attack Ju County with confidence." Mr. Guo Tu was also a little depressed and said helplessly: "It may take a lot of time to capture this city."

"Time is still a small matter, and it is a big matter that our army's siege is difficult to accept." Mr. Xinpi was more depressed than Guo Tu. After a little calculation, Xinpi suggested: "Young Master, try to surrender, the city of Ju County

The main general Xiao Jian is just a scholar, with no power to tie a chicken. His deputy Qiao Rui is a surrendered general in Huainan. He once served under the command of his son's uncle Yuan Gonglu. He surrendered him at a desperate situation. The young master sent him into the city to recruit surrender and promised him a high-ranking official.

A beautiful woman with a rich fortune may not be without a chance of success.”

Looking at the hedgehog-like city of Ju County, Mr. Yuan Tan nodded and immediately wrote a letter to send envoys to surrender. Unfortunately, although Xiao Jian, the chief general of the garrison in Ju County, was indeed a civil servant, he was not a good person.

Tao Qian and Deputy Director Tao never considered replacing Xiao Jian because Xiao Jian was not only deeply loved by the military and the people, but also loyal to the Lao Tao family. He has always been the number one team for the Lao Tao family to monitor Zang Ba in Langya.

Nails! At the same time, Qiao Rui's situation is not

I have been talking too much, and offended Deputy Director Tao so many times. In the end, Deputy Director Tao was spared and entrusted with important tasks. I have long been a loyal lackey of Deputy Director Tao, so the result of Mr. Yuan Tan's surrender is of course

…………… “Go back and tell Yuan Tanpeng that if you want to attack the city, we will accompany you to the end.” While slowly tearing down the letter of Mr. Yuan Tan’s persuasion to surrender, Xiao Jian said slowly: “But I want us to surrender

, He is dreaming of whiteness."

"Looking at the face of Mr. Benchu, I will spare you this time!" Qiao Rui also grabbed Mr. Yuan Tan's envoy and said fiercely: "Tell Yuan Tan's common man, if he dares to send him in to surrender again, he will humiliate him.

I, then don’t be rude. Even if the lord blames it, I will drag his surrender messenger to the top of the city and cut him to death with his own hands to thank the lord for his trust!”

After the envoy Xiao Jian and Qiao Rui's rude reply to Mr. Yuan Tan, Mr. Yuan Tan was furious and immediately ordered to build siege weapons overnight to prepare for siege. Although Guo Tu and Xin Pi were both

Knowing that such a strong city is difficult to attack, but it is impossible to attack, so there is no way. I can only rack my brains to figure out the strategy for Master Yuan Tan to break the city, while praying that the morale of the defenders in the city is low and their combat effectiveness is low. Ju

The county town is definitely not as difficult to attack.

Mr. Guo Tu and Xin Pi were soon disappointed. After two deaths, when Mr. Yuan Tan's team built a large number of siege weapons to launch the siege, they were immediately hit by the defenders of Ju County.

The swallowtail torch specially greeted Yuan Tan's army's large-scale siege weapons. The defenders behind the sheep and horse wall warmly welcomed Mr. Yuan Tan's river-filling team with strong bows and hard crossbows. The defenders above the wall were even more condescending with arrows and stones.

Yuan Tan's soldiers ran away with tears and wolves and howling. It was extremely difficult to get close to the moat. The large siege weapons such as ladder trucks and trench bridge trucks that Mr. Yuan Tan finally built were all burned down by fire.

Mr. Guo Tu and Xin Pi are not a big deal. Seeing that ordinary siege weapons are difficult to succeed, he suggested that Master Yuan Tan build a high platform wooden frame outside the city that was higher than the city wall, intending to suppress the defenders on the city with bows and arrows.

. Unfortunately, there are strong players. Yaosheng is the one who exists to defend the city. As soon as General Qiao Rui saw Yuan Tan’s construction platform, he immediately understood Mr. Yuan Tan’s vicious intentions and immediately built a wooden tower in the city.

In turn, he suppressed Yuan Tan's high platform wooden frame with strong bows and crossbows, killing Yuan Tan's engineers countless times, and adding many attack points to defenders, forming a more powerful siege team for Yuan Tan's siege team.

Multiple threats.

When Guo Tu and Xin Pi tried to attack the city at the same time, the tunnel was dug to the city, and the tunnel was immediately dug by Qiao Rui's bamboo pipe water tank buried in the buried bamboo tube. He identified the direction and dug the tunnel. As soon as the tunnel was connected, he immediately

Then thick smoke was poured in, and then live water was poured in, drowning hundreds of Yuan Tan's soldiers.

Forced to be helpless, Mr. Yuan Tan had to dispatch the thunder chariot that was destined to be ineffective, intending to destroy the fortifications of the sheep and horse walls under Ju County for the convenience of ant attachment. Unfortunately, the Xiangyang cannon of the garrison of Ju County was condescending and not only fought further, Mr. Yuan Tan

The Pili car in his hand was also a weakened version of Xiangyang cannon that Deputy Director Tao had wielded and wielded on the drawings, and could only shoot about two hundred steps away. Therefore, Mr. Yuan Tan's heavy and slow Pili car was basically not enough.

One shot fired and one shot shot, it would either be smashed to pieces by the stone bullet thrown by the Xiangyang cannon of the Ju County garrison, or it would be burned to ashes by the incendiary bomb thrown by the defenders.

In this way, you fought back and forth for more than twenty years. With the rapid consumption of military rations and the gradual decline of morale, Mr. Yuan Tan, who had always had no choice but to do anything to Ju County, was finally furious and determined to give up attacking Ju County and go south to open Yang.

Because the scouts sent by Mr. Yuan Tan to find out that Kaiyang's garrison was not as perverted as Ju County, and it was obviously much easier to attack than Ju County!

"Young Master, don't be so bad!"
