Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 836 Unplanned Changes
To be honest, in a short period of time, Han Meng really had a complicated mood, and he thought of a lot in his mind.

Han Meng thought of Han Ju who fell into Zhu Wei's hands, and thought that Zhu Weijun had already approached Yecheng, and although there were still [-] troops in Yecheng, they were still defenseless. If Zhu Weijun attacked the city by force , the result is difficult to know.

In the choice between being a loyal minister who turned the tide, or a hero who was fighting anyway, Han Meng finally chose to fight anyway.

So when he got to the city wall, he directly allowed Wei Yan to bring a group of soldiers into the city, and then worked carefully at the school office next to Han Meng to give Wei Yan a signal, letting Wei Yan know that there was internal cooperation here.

Everything that followed was simple. Wei Yan entered the city first with a group of soldiers, and quickly took control of the gate of the Wengcheng, while Han Meng directly took control of the guarding army on the wall, threatening the surroundings. Yuan Jun followed him anyway.

In this way, the north gate of Yecheng was broken through by Zhu Weijun, and Wei Yan led the high-ranking remnants of Jingnan Camp disguised as soldiers and directly entered the north city.

Soon Zhu Weijun took control of the entire north gate of Yecheng, and then Zhu Weijun allocated [-] troops led by Wei Yan himself, and followed Han Meng to attack the inner city of Yecheng where Yuan Shao was located. , six thousand troops were stationed in Beicheng, waiting for Zhang Yan to bring the Black Mountain Army to come for reinforcements.

After all, there are still 3000 Yuan troops stationed in Ye City, which does not include the nearly [-] personal guards around Yuan Shao, and most of these troops are also stationed around the inner city of Ye City where Yuan Shao is located.

In addition to the nearly [-] troops stationed at the four gates of Yecheng, there are at least [-] troops stationed in the inner city of Yecheng.

Among them, Yuan Shao's 1 personal guards were stationed directly in the inner city, and the other [-] troops were stationed in the barracks on both sides of the inner city. Break into the inner city immediately and capture Yuan Shao.

As for Han Meng, although Yuan Shang is still a general stationed in Ye City and has temporary powers to patrol the city, in fact, the army he can control is only [-] soldiers directly under him.

The rest of the military power is in the hands of Xu You who stayed behind. If there is an attack from a foreign enemy, Han Meng can only temporarily have the right to command troops in a city gate area for defense. As for the other right to deploy troops, he can only inform Xu You Afterwards, it was dispatched by Xu You.

Just now, Han Meng helped Zhu Weijun control the North Gate with his own trilogy, and then made an emergency landing at the North Gate. More than a thousand of the two thousand defenders followed Han Meng. Surrender to Zhu Weijun.

But there are still nearly a thousand Yuan Jun who have already fled along the city wall, or along the main street in the city, shouting that Yecheng is attacked, and foreign enemies are attacking.

So what Han Meng can do now is to take Wei Yan to the inner city, assist Wei Yan to persuade Yuan Jun who is here, and help Wei Yan attack the inner city. Defense preparations have also been made.

It turned out that this time Wei Yan pretended to be a high-ranking remnant army and came to cheat the door. It was around four or five in the afternoon. Originally, Wei Yan also wanted to use the sky at dusk to prevent Yuan Jun who was guarding the city from seeing any flaws in his own army pretending to be a high-ranking army.

And according to the information provided by Zhu Weijun's school office, Xu You had already returned to the mansion at this time, and cared about eating, drinking and having fun.

The secret work of the school office even assembled some people, who were preparing to rob and kill Xu You's messengers. Yuan Jun fought back.

This will allow Yuan Jun in Yecheng to fall into a situation of no command after being attacked, which will naturally make it easier for Wei Yan and Zhang Yan to attack Yecheng.

But the facts often don’t follow the plan, today is also a coincidence, the seriously ill Yuan Shao recovered some spirits today, so Xu You was kept in the inner city palace to inquire about the battle situation on Liyang’s side and various local affairs. Kind of trivia.

As a result, when Wei Yan led troops to attack the north gate of Yecheng, Xu You still stayed in the inner city, and the defeated soldiers from the north city rushed to warn, Xu You happened to know the situation at the first time.

Afterwards, Xu You first assigned the surrounding troops to firmly guard the inner city, and then immediately sent someone to find Yuan Shang to report the news.

After all, now that Zhu Weijun has broken through the north gate of Yecheng, the situation in Yecheng is critical.

This is the emergency message from Yecheng that Yuan Shang received later, but the situation in Yecheng is obviously beyond what Yuan Shang can rescue.

When Wei Yan and Han Meng led troops to the inner city, Yuan Jun had already prepared defenses here, and even under Xu You's assignment, another member of Yuan Jun's department, Jiao Chu, led six thousand Yuan Jun directly Counterattack the North Gate, intending to regain control of the North Gate.

So on the main street connecting the four gates of Yecheng, the army led by Wei Yan and Han Meng and Yuan Jun led by Jiao Touch met face to face, and the two sides fought together immediately.

But Wei Yan is not an ordinary general after all, and Han Meng can be regarded as a fierce general. Now Wei Yan and Han Meng are launching a fierce attack together. Even if Jiao Touch has the strength of a third-rate general, how can he be the opponent of Wei Yan and Han Meng.

As a result, after a battle, Wei Yan cut Jiao Chu off his horse with a single blow, and Yuan Jun, who had lost the command of the general, soon began to be defeated under the charge of Wei Yan and Han Meng, and retreated in disorder.

During this process, Han Meng took advantage of the situation and persuaded nearly a thousand Yuan Jun to follow behind him. After that, Wei Yan and Han Meng continued to lead troops to kill in the direction of the inner city, and soon reached the gate of the inner city.

At this time, Yecheng was not the expanded Yecheng when Cao Cao was named the king of Wei and took Yecheng as the capital of the king.

Therefore, Yecheng at this time was much smaller than the later Yecheng. There were no expansion areas such as Tongque Terrace and Wei Palace in the north of the city. It was mainly the old scale of Yecheng built by Duke Huan of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period.

Yecheng belonged to the Wei State during the Warring States Period. At that time, Marquis Wen of Wei used Yecheng as his companion capital, so the central area of ​​Yecheng was where the palace of the King of Wei in the old Warring States Period was located. This may be the reason why Cao Cao later called himself King of Wei.

Now that Yuan Shao occupied Yecheng, he also turned the former accompanying palace of the king of Wei into his private residence and palace, and at the same time built an inner city within Yecheng with the help of the palace walls.

Of course, this kind of inner city transformed from a palace cannot be compared with the real city wall, but at this moment Xu You mobilized the remaining [-] Yuan troops to enter the inner city, plus the [-] personal guards originally stationed in the inner city, there are some More than ten thousand troops can be stationed in the inner city.

At the same time, the granary, arsenal, money bank and other places in Yecheng are also adjacent to the inner city, and they are also controlled by Yuan Jun at the moment, so Yuan Jun is not afraid of being trapped in the inner city without food and grass, and he can also get enough from the arsenal. Weapon use.

And Yuan Jun, who was originally stationed in the gate areas of Yecheng, also came back to the inner city under Xu You's military order. In addition, the three or four thousand Yuan Jun who had retreated before, let Xu You's side Nearly [-] troops were added.

In this way, Xu You can also use the inner city to hold on for a while, waiting for Yuan Shang to come back to rescue...
