第二百三十六章:青徐之战(九)

ps: I was too busy yesterday and exhausted to update, I'll make up for it later. Also, the title of the previous chapter was wrong again, it should be Battle of Qingxu (8). I don't know what happened to me, maybe I'm really tired.

————————————————————————————————————

As a well-known merchant family in Donghai County, the Mi family is extremely familiar with all the roads in Donghai County, especially the routes leading out of Quxian County, which were the initial trade routes that the Mi family relied upon for their livelihood.

Mi Zhuo dispatched dozens of riders to Xupu, Tancheng, and Guangling, respectively, seeking reinforcements. He successfully sent these messengers out before the Yuan army surrounded the city.

Tancheng is the closest, and within Tancheng, Zhu County is the closest. Sending messengers is to report to the prefect of Donghai County, Che Zhou, about the arrival of the Yuan army and to establish defense lines to stop their advance. Moreover, down the Shu River near Tancheng is near Xupu City, and after passing through the Si River to the north, you will reach Xupu City. Notifying Xupu County is hoping that Mi Zhuo can mobilize the private soldiers of the Mi family to temporarily join the fight against the Yuan army. Heading south to Guangling is naturally to seek assistance from Chen Deng. After all, it is impossible to defeat the Yuan army relying solely on the Mi family's household servants. The Panther Army must be deployed.

As for Xuyuan County, no one believes that it can hold its ground. At most, it can only delay for a few days. However, Mi Zhong, Mi Ping, and others in the county do not believe that the Yuan army will massacre the city after it is captured because they dare not. Translated: "

朐县有不少名门望族,还有如同糜家这样在徐州拥有无数家丁,能迅速武装起一支队伍的家族。一旦真把他们逼急了,这些大族有的是手段背地里整深入敌境的袁军。

For example, the possibility of cutting off Yuan Jun's local supply of grain and provisions, and even inciting the common people and dispatching their own private armies to ambush Yuan Jun's soldiers at any time, etc. However, before Yuan Jun makes any excessive moves, these powerful clans typically would not openly resist Yuan Jun in such an obvious and bold manner. This is also the survival strategy adopted by these powerful clans during chaotic times.

Outside of Qu County, the mighty Yuan army surrounded the city, but the soldiers were generally demoralized. After all, even though they were soldiers from Qingzhou, they had not experienced long journeys at sea. The winds and waves out there were far more treacherous than ordinary rivers and lakes. Even near the coast, a few Yuan warships were capsized by the storms, leaving the soldiers tired and dispirited from enduring the turbulence of the ships.

西门,袁谭和张郃亲自指挥西门的攻城。各门分别有三千士兵,西门外还另有三千预备队。

“儁乂,我军士兵仍有些萎靡不振,为何让士兵们不休息一阵再攻城?”

On the battlefield, Yuan Tan asked Zhang He his question with confusion. Although he was the commander of the Yuan army, Yuan Shao had delegated the actual command of the large forces to Zhang He. Yuan Tan, in fact, resembled more of a military supervisor.

Zhang He smiled and explained to Yuan Tan, "Our army rushed to Xuzhou from the sea, and the key to our strategy is one word - speed! Despite our exhaustion, the enemy is completely unprepared, giving us a greater advantage. Therefore, we must strike swiftly, quickly capturing several cities, and then find a place to rest and resupply."

"Most importantly, sir, you must not underestimate the Mingjing Hall of the Caos' army. I'm afraid that by the latest the day after tomorrow, news of our landing in Xuzhou will reach Chen Deng of the Panlong army and Xu Qiu and Mi Zhu of Xiapi City. At that time, we won't be so relaxed anymore."

看着袁谭恍然大悟的样子,张郃也是明白了袁绍派出袁谭和自己一起奇袭徐州。其中自然有为袁谭造势,让袁谭积累战功的目的,更多的还是要让袁谭积累与曹军的战斗经验。

袁谭的军事才能,其实还是不错的,治军严明,指挥也得当,但却缺少了与曹军这样信息交流极快、士兵精锐的军队交战的经验。而让袁谭独自面对曹军,会损失惨重不说,袁谭本人恐怕会被曹军打出心里阴影,于是派出了在正面战场上与曹军屡次交锋的张郃在实际上统领大军。

袁谭了然道“所以之前儁乂将大军分成三部,分别攻打朐县、海西、利城的目的也是为了战后的休息与补给吗?”

张郃点了点头,没有再继续说话,而是将目光放在了城头上。

In fact, they made some mistakes in this attack and did not include the fishermen. Zhang He can see that there are civilians and soldiers on the city wall, transporting defensive equipment, which indicates that the fishermen notified the defenders inside the city. However, even though they were temporarily prepared, it ultimately didn't make much of a difference.

Zhang He raised his long spear, pointing it directly at the city gate and shouted loudly, "Attack the city!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Although the soldiers of Yuan's army were somewhat spiritless, they still maintained their orderly formation and advanced towards the city gate.

Quxian, located near the Youshui River, was not a strategic location and had abundant water sources. Therefore, there were no moats around the city, only ditches were dug. (A ditch with water outside the city is called a pool, which can be used for defense and as a temporary water source, while a dry ditch is called a moat.) This greatly reduced the difficulty of attacking the city.

朐县城高两丈,袁军的战船上装运来的攻城器械也只有云梯和简易的撞木,士兵们扛着撞木在盾牌手的护卫下缓缓前进。

"Shoot!"

The archers on the city walls released a volley of arrows and then stopped shooting. Zhang He below the city sneered, with a mocking expression on his face, and even Yuan Tan beside him wore a contemptuous look.

The gatekeeper of the West Gate in Quxian actually allowed the archers on the city walls to shoot arrows from such a long distance, and they weren't even shooting in rotation. They shot all the arrows at once, what idiots.

Zhang He took out a bow from beside his horse, took the arrows from his attendant, and rode a short distance to the side. He aimed at the thick rope pulling up the drawbridge on the city wall, bent his bow and nocked the arrow in one smooth motion, his left eye closed tightly. As he released his right hand, he shouted, "Fire!"

The sound of a bowstring resonated as an arrow pierced through a thick rope, causing the suspension bridge to bend to one side abruptly.

张郃再接过一支箭矢,弓拉满弦,嗖的一声,吊桥落地,发出轰的一声巨响。

"The general's godlike accuracy!"

"The general's godlike accuracy!"

"The general's godlike accuracy!"

When Zhang He shot down the drawbridge with two arrows, the morale of the Yuan soldiers soared, and they rushed towards the city gate.

In most cities, the drawbridge is held by iron chains. However, in Quxian county, it is held by thick ropes because it is not a military strategic location and is near the seaside. No enemies would attack. Unexpectedly, Zhang He used this method to siege the city.
