Chapter 257
Zhang Liao led eight hundred people to leave, leaving only Zhao Tong to manage the remainder.
When I came, I didn't bring much food, and one person and one mouth were not enough to eat for ten days and a half months.
Now Zhang Liao took it away for another three days, making the remaining people less food.
Moreover, this place is Gongsun Du's sphere of influence, whether it is to trade or rob, it will alarm the other party.
If you return to the territory of the Liaodong vassal country to get it, it will take time to go back and forth.
Take too much, easy to expose.
Take less, simply not enough to eat.
Zhao Tong did not expect that he would encounter the first problem so soon and needed to make a decision as soon as possible.
Without a decision, the leftover food will not last even a day.
He was still not sure whether Zhang Liao would be able to reach the middle section between Xiangping and Xinchang in one day or two days.
If he attacked first and caused Gongsun Du to come out early, Zhang Liao might be empty.
This led to their return on this trip, so as to face the enemy of Gongsun Du.
"Those who order the sentry must raise their spirits, and anyone who arrives in our sphere of influence will be killed."
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Tong still made up his mind to attack.
Zhang Liao has already set off, and there is no way to save it now.
With not enough food, plus more than 2,000 people in the wild, exposure is only a matter of time.
He had to make quick decisions, and delaying until the night was his greatest limit.
When the time comes, in any case, the order will be issued.
"How to fight?"
A general came up and looked at the map.
"You are from Hezhou, but do you remember the first arrival of the two generals Xu Rong and Xu Huang in Hedong County?"
Zhao Tong followed Dong Yao, thinking about fighting.
No, then learn.
When Xu Rong and Xu Huang first arrived in Hedong County, they adopted the method of encircling points to help.
He wanted to take the county in an instant and thus have a foothold, and this was the only way.
"I know, but we have less than 2,500 people, what kind of fence to help?"
"We are indeed small in number, but we are all one for ten!"
Zhao Tong clenched his fists, the personal combat literacy of the tiger army is extremely high, this is his confidence.
Besides, if the number of people is small, you can't surround the point to help?
He could divide 2,500 people into three parts.
The first part, as the main force to attack the county town, numbered about a thousand people.
The second part, consisting of 1,200 men, was mainly responsible for the task of ambushing the main road.
The third part, the least numerous, was responsible for planting more flags in the distance of the besieged county as a measure of suspicion.
"Good."
The generals of the Tiger Army listened to Zhao Tong's story and felt that this method was feasible.
If they can attack the next place overnight, it will be enough for them to gain a foothold here.
At that time, it is possible to attack and retreat.
The most important point is to solve the problem of food.
Zhao Tong saw that everyone agreed, so he made a decision.
Then all the grain was gathered and everyone was fed and drunk.
As the sun sets, the sky begins to change.
When night fell, the Tiger Army moved.
Zhao Tong first locked the county seat to be surrounded as the county seat of Anshi City.
The reinforcements were Xinchang County, east of the county seat, which was one of the places where Zhang Liao wanted to ambush.
Since you decided to fight, there is no need to hide it.
The tiger army ran wildly on the road, and in an instant broke through the checkpoint set up by Gongsun Du.
More than 2,500 cavalry, plus Zhao Tong's deliberate arrangement.
The tiger army behind him was ordered to tie the horse's tail to a branch, so that there was more smoke and dust, and it seemed that they were more numerous.
Anshi County.
The defenders were alternating posts at this time.
"Am I blinded?"
One of the defenders on the city wall wiped his eyes, and he saw smoke and dust in the distance, as if there was an enemy.
No, there are checkpoints on the way to this place.
So many enemy troops are coming, and those who put up their sentries will not come back to inform?
Dead or not?
"Not good, there is hostility!"
Look at the smoke and dust, the defender relies on many years of military experience.
It was enough to conclude that the number of the other party was extremely large, and if he guessed correctly, it should be no less than fifteen thousand.
But so many people arrived all the way to the territory of Liaodong, and they actually found out.
"Quick, order people to quickly go to Xinchang, Wen County mobilized soldiers and horses, and came to rescue us."
The guards made a quick decision, and it was still too late to go and call people.
Delay a little longer, are they afraid that they will be surrounded by regiments?
The two teams delivering the letter left Anshi and quickly went to Wen County and Xinchang.
Not long after they left, it was getting dark.
Zhao Tong picked this point in time, and before it got dark, they stopped marching.
Thus there was a large army, but because it was night, all hidden in the darkness.
He ordered people to set up camp not far from Anshi City, set up more flags, and place torches and other lighting around the banners.
Seeing the enemy camp torches in the distance, General An knew that he had guessed correctly.
There are too many enemies, look at those torches, and flags.
And looking at the flag, it turned out to be written with a Dong character, and the person who came must be Dong Yao!
This person was really sinister, and left Liaodong with great fanfare, but he did not expect to raid them secretly.
Before Dong Yao came to Liaodong, they had heard of his name.
At the beginning, Tiger Prison Pass attacked the coalition army of all the princes, broke through Xianbei Long City with a bang, and scattered the southern Xiongnu forces.
Wage war with Yuan Shao and easily annihilate him.
Not long ago, there was a fire in Liucheng, which almost burned the Wuhuan people.
All this, its prestige is known all over the world.
Moreover, recently, there have been rumors everywhere in Liaodong that Dong Yao has not lost any battles since the time of the tiger prison.
Such luck must be helped.
Just like the battle of Liucheng that day, the Wuhuan army pressed up, and the difference in numbers was huge.
As a result, the Wuhuan people still lost, and the fire only blew towards the Wuhuan people, and Dong Yao's men and horses suffered almost no losses.
This is not a heavenly help, and what is it?
Now they have only three thousand defenders in the city, how can they be opponents.
"Don't eat it, let everyone gather and prepare for battle."
Even though the guard general did not dare to face Dong Yao, he ate the Gongsun family's servants, so he must do his duty well.
If you can't beat it, you have to fight too.
"Grandma's, this Dong Yao, who has won more than half of Youzhou, is still not satisfied, and he vainly tries to completely unify."
"That is, our Gongsun Taishou is showing favor in every way, and this person is really ignorant."
The soldiers in Anshi County disturbed their rest because of Dong Yao's arrival.
Some people couldn't help but curse and vent their resentment.
"Aa
Dong Yao had just arrived at Youbeiping at this time, and only rested for a while, and the sneezing sound continued.
According to superstition, sneezing is someone thinking about him.
"Hehe..."
Dong Yao smiled, who could it be?
Sable cicada, the Tsai sisters?
Or Lu Lingqi, or the 10,000-year-old princess who was forced to marry him.
He really hadn't returned to Luoyang for a long time, and he became excited when he thought about these beauties.
