Gu'an City, one of the important towns of Fanyang County. In addition to Zhuo County, Fanyang County also has important cities such as Gu'an City, Rongcheng, Tongxian, and Beiqiao City. For example, Rongcheng and Beiqiao City are border cities, and merchants come and go, so commerce flourishes, so they can become important towns. However, the reason why Anseong was able to prosper and become an important town was because Anseong was a barren land with few iron ore producing cities, and there were such important resources, so it was difficult for Anseong not to prosper.

Of course, it would be a bit untrue to say that Youzhou is a barren land.

In the era before Yuan Chang traveled, Ancheng had a large number of minerals and a complete variety. In addition, there are also energy minerals such as oil, coal, and natural gas, which can be described as a good mineral land. However, in today's era, due to technical reasons, it is not possible to dig deeply, so that these resources cannot be utilized, so that Youzhou is regarded as a barren land.

However, the iron ore veins in Ancheng happen to be open-air, so there is no need to dig deeply, so such conspicuous minerals are naturally valued. As early as the early days of the founding of the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, this mineral was discovered, and it has been nearly 200 years now, but it has not been excavated, which shows the abundance of ore resources.

However, the once prosperous city of Gu'an is now gloomy. There is only one reason, and that is because there are 150,000 Yuan Shao's troops outside the city.

Above the city. Gongsun Chan was wearing silver armor, his instrument was magnificent, and his end was majestic.

"Yuan Shao. What does it mean to wait for an unprovoked invasion of my Youzhou territory? Besides, Ben Hou led the governor of the four states, and you, the assassin of Jizhou, are still a subordinate of Ben Hou, so if you commit such a crime, you should be killed. However, Benhou is magnanimous, and adults don't remember villains. If you find out that you have lost your way and withdraw immediately, Benhou will not hold you accountable. ”

Gongsun Chan waved his spear. Lang Sheng shouted angrily at Yuan Shao under the city.

"Haha!"

Yuan Shao laughed, pointed the long knife in his hand at Gongsun Zan at the head of the city, and shouted and scolded: "Shameless traitor, you hold the imperial envoy hostage." Bold. I think that the people of the world don't know? And you have invaded the territory of Jizhou several times, and you are a good bully? Today, on behalf of the Son of Heaven, I will ask you for this unscrupulous traitor. If you are interested, you will immediately open the city and surrender, and you can also write to the court to spare your life. If not, you will be wiped out. ”

"In that case, let's fight!"

Gongsun Chan didn't say anything more to Yuan Shao, and shouted loudly. The Youzhou soldiers at the head of the city suddenly began to get busy. Some were inspecting weapons and armor, while others were carrying supplies. In the next siege battle, it was used against the soldiers of Jizhou.

"Overseer, I'll leave it to you. ”

Yuan Shao, as the lord, naturally won't let himself do everything. Moreover, Yuan Shao also knew that his ability was average, so he naturally handed it over to his subordinates. The trial was equipped with the ability to command the army, so Yuan Shao's 150,000 army was handed over to the trial to command.

"Siege team ready!"

Yuan Shao had an army of 150,000, of which 100,000 infantry were divided into ten teams, each with 10,000 men. The remaining 50,000 are other special forces and reserves in case of emergency. Compared with the elite of Yuan Chang Bohai County, Yuan Shao's 150,000 army is a little uneven. And for these soldiers, the trial and allocation are also well distributed. Some of these weaker soldiers were treated as cannon fodder, with the purpose of consuming Gongsun Zhan's materials for defending the city. The first siege team, the second siege team, and the third siege team assigned at this moment are all cannon fodder troops, which are only used to consume materials in the city.

"Woo, woo, woo!"

"Attack!"

As the horn of the charge sounded, the judge waved his big hand and ordered with a majestic face. Although the 30,000 weak soldiers were regarded as cannon fodder, neither Yuan Shao nor the civil and military officials under Yuan Shao had any psychological burden. The battlefield is this cruelty, since you are weak, you can only do what the weak should do, and you can't blame others. War kills people, and under normal circumstances, no one wants to be a soldier, unless the situation at home is really bad, and in order to survive, they will join the army. After Yuan Shao took control of Jizhou, he was also vigorously recruiting soldiers, and the response was naturally not very good. Therefore, there are many soldiers who are forcibly recruited, and these soldiers will naturally be more dissatisfied in their hearts, and it is normal for them to work on the battlefield without contribution. Moreover, Yuan Shao's control of Jizhou was not long, and the counties of Jizhou were not completely controlled. Just like the Cui family in Anping County, they sent 5,000 soldiers to assist Yuan Chang, and most of them were young and strong, and their combat strength was not weak. However, the Cui family of Anping County was not very active in responding to Yuan Shao's order, and only sent 3,000 weak soldiers, looking at the appearance of these soldiers, it seemed that a gust of wind could blow them down, what kind of combat power could they have? Of course, Yuan Shao also knew what kind of goods these counties gave to their soldiers, but now Yuan Shao has not had the time to deal with those Taishou and Xiangguo, and when Gongsun Zhan is destroyed, Yuan Shao will slowly turn back and clean up these people, and completely control Jizhou.

Therefore, Yuan Shao has an army of 150,000 this time, and the soldiers and horses that really belong to Yuan Shao are actually about 100,000. The remaining nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses were sent to Yuan Shao by the Taishou and Xiangguo from all over the country. Although they were nominally Yuan Shao's subordinates, in reality these soldiers ultimately obeyed the orders of the local taishou. In addition to these 100,000 or so soldiers and horses, Yuan Shao also had about 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Jizhou to prevent turmoil or garrison the city. Therefore, the current forces controlled by Yuan Shao are probably about 200,000 troops. Relatively speaking, Gongsun Chan is stronger than Yuan Shao.

Gongsun Chan has been in Fanyang County long enough, and because Gongsun Chan has been at war with foreign races in the north all the year round, he has a very high reputation. At that time, the history of Youzhou was Liu Yu, however, more young people chose to join Gongsun Zhan's army, and also wanted to fight against the northern alien races, obtain military achievements, and thus be promoted and rich.

Then someone might ask. Yuan Chang has 80,000 soldiers and horses in Bohai County alone, is it a bit untrue?

For this, it is definitely a very normal thing.

At that time, there was turmoil in the Central Plains. Especially when Dong Zhuo was in control of the imperial court, he wantonly killed people for no reason, and the people in the land of Sanfu moved to various places. Jizhou, a relatively prosperous place at that time, naturally became the choice of these migrants. Therefore, the population of Jizhou can be ranked in the top three among the thirteen states in the world. There are nearly 3 million people, close to 4 million. On average, each county in Jizhou has a population of nearly 400,000, according to the proportion. There are also more than 200,000 men. In addition to the children and the old and weak, there are at least 100,000 young and strong. Of course, it was impossible for all the young men of Bohai County to join Yuan Chang's army. The main reason is the military parade ceremony in Bohai County, so that the people know the strong strength of Bohai County. Therefore, in addition to the local people of Bohai County, there are also many young people from neighboring counties who have poured into Bohai County. Become a soldier in Bohai County. Therefore. Yuan Changcai relied on the identity of a county, but he could have 80,000 troops. Such strength can definitely be ranked among the counties of Jizhou, and it can be said that in addition to Yuan Shao, Jizhou is the strongest in Yuan Chang's strength. Moreover, in terms of the quality of individual soldiers, Yuan Shao is compared with Yuan Chang. But there is still a gap of 108,000 miles.

And back to the text, when the judge gives the order to attack. The siege team, which was regarded as cannon fodder, rushed towards the old city with a shout.

Unlike Yuan Shao, Gongsun Chan is a veteran of the battlefield, and the command of the unified army is naturally not a problem.

Gongsun Chan watched the soldiers of Jizhou under the city approach the city wall, and a sneer appeared on his face. As a veteran of the battlefield, how could he not see that this besieging soldier was just a cannon fodder unit? Yuan Shao's army had already arrived ten miles outside the city of Gu'an two days earlier, but Yuan Shao did not attack immediately, but stationed himself in the same place, and ordered craftsmen to build siege equipment, in addition to siege ladders, trebuchets, chariots and other large siege equipment. However, this besieging soldier only carried a siege ladder, and the extremely important siege equipment such as trebuchets and chariots were not brought out, and it was obvious that this army would not use it. Yuan Shao's idea is naturally very good, let the cannon fodder consume the materials for defending the city, and when the consumption is almost the same, then take out the trebuchet and rush car to use, the effect is naturally better. It's just that after Gongsun Chan understood Yuan Shao's intentions, he just sneered disdainfully. It's so naïve and cute to want to use cannon fodder to consume your own supplies for defending the city. Didn't Yuan Shao know that the last thing he lacked was these things?

"Archers are ready!"

Gongsun Chan shouted a loud order, and then the archers, who had already lined up and prepared, immediately approached the city and stood in their respective positions. The standard longbow in his hand has been drawn into a full moon state, and the arrows on the bowstring are already "buzzing", as if they can't wait to rush out. However, the owners of these longbows maintained a calm look, and Gongsun Zhan's order had not yet been issued, so they did not dare to release arrows indiscriminately.

"Archer, shoot!"

When the soldiers of Jizhou approached the city of Gu'an for 100 meters, Gongsun Zhan immediately gave an order without hesitation. All of a sudden, the arrows above the city fell like locusts down on the city. Such a dense rain of arrows could not be stopped even by some elite soldiers, let alone a siege team that was used as cannon fodder? Just a round of arrow rain, hundreds of people fell on the Jizhou side. Some Jizhou soldiers were full of arrows, and these soldiers were also unlucky. There were a thousand archers on the top of the city, and a thousand bows and arrows were shot down, and the average was less than one per man. It's a pity that these unlucky soldiers were set on fire by so many arrows alone, even if they had three heads and six arms, I am afraid it would be difficult to stop. On the flip side, of course, these soldiers also saved their companions.

"Archers prepare, shoot!"

Gongsun Chan prepared 10,000 archers in one go this time, and the ten teams took turns to do it, so the end can be imagined. Moreover, these ten archers were only half of the team, and these weak soldiers in Jizhou were already close to the walls of Gu'an City.

"Kill it!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, the achievements are in the present day, everyone is rushing!"

"Kill!"

Under the leadership of the commanders of their respective teams, these soldiers from Jizhou shouted one after another, and approached the head of Gu'an City along the siege ladder. In their eyes, Gongsun Chan does not seem to be a general, but a piece of glittering gold, attracting the soldiers of Jizhou to charge towards the city of Gu'an without fear of death!

Gongsun Zhan looked at the Jizhou soldiers climbing on the city wall, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth. Don't say that Yuan Shao's elite soldiers are just a group of cannon fodder, dealing with these soldiers. Gongsun Chan didn't pay too much attention to it at all.

The other side is already climbing the city wall, and the archers are naturally useless.

"Boulders, sassal wood ready!"

The throwing soldiers and horses, who had been waiting for a long time, gave out an incomparable momentum in the mountains, and then took their supplies and began to stand at the head of the city. When they saw the siege ladder full of soldiers from Jizhou, these throwing soldiers no longer hesitated, and the boulders and sassalwoods in their hands did not hesitate at all. Facing the Jizhou soldiers who were climbing on the siege ladder, they threw it fiercely.

"Ahh

"Help, I don't want to die yet..."

Facing the boulders and sassalwood whizzing down from the castle. The soldiers in Jizhou shouted anything. Unfortunately, no matter how much they shouted, they couldn't stop the attack of the boulder and the tree. So this way down. The soldiers of Jizhou actually killed hundreds more. Starting with the first round of arrow rain among the soldiers of Youzhou. Yuan Shao's cannon fodder unit actually killed thousands of people. Because this siege soldier was cannon fodder, Yuan Shao didn't care too much. There is no problem for Yuan Shao how many people die, as long as the defending materials in Gu'an City can be consumed, the task of these cannon fodder troops will be completed.

This time the siege was extremely tragic, and the cannon fodder unit of the siege team suffered more than 5,000 casualties, while Gongsun Zhan's soldiers suffered less than 1,000 casualties. Five-to-one ratio. If this trend continues, Yuan Shao will inevitably be defeated in the end.

"The siege team is ready. Attack!"

"Kill!"

"Chong! Make meritorious contributions, Yijin will return to his hometown at this moment, what are you still hesitating about, Chong!"

Although these cannon fodder troops were used to consume Gongsun Zhan's fortification materials, these soldiers themselves did not know it, but thought that this was a good time to make a contribution. Even if their combat power is relatively weak, their momentum is still so strong.

"Hmph! Ben Hou wants to see if you have more soldiers in Yuan Shao, or if there are more materials to defend the city in Gu'an City!"

Gongsun Chan snorted coldly, and then commanded again. The same is to use archers to open the way, and then boulders and sassalwoods are smashed down one after another, for these weak soldiers, Gongsun Chan naturally will not use boiling oil, that is simply a waste of resources. Compared to boulders and sassalones, the value of boiling oil is even higher. These more expensive boiling oils are naturally used when they should be used. Just like when Yuan Shao's elite soldiers attacked, it was the best time to use boiling oil.

Half an hour passed, and after the second siege team also suffered more than 5,000 casualties and left the corpses of 2 or 3,000 cannon fodder soldiers on the ground, the horn of withdrawal sounded, and the remaining 4,000 or so soldiers ran towards their own camp. Although these soldiers are cannon fodder, they also have a great effect, and it is naturally the best thing if they don't all die in battle. After all, the battle in Youzhou didn't end so quickly, and these cannon fodder soldiers still had a role. Moreover, after these battles, there will also be some soldiers with improved combat power among the cannon fodder, and these soldiers can be included in the normal siege team at that time, instead of treating them as cannon fodder.

When the soldiers of the three siege teams withdrew, the face of the judge became serious, and the siege was just beginning.

"Prepare for the siege of the four teams, trebuchets, rush cars, and attack the city!"

When the first regular siege soldiers were about to begin the siege, the interrogator carefully observed it, and then gave a loud order. After three rounds of siege, the cannon fodder troops have almost consumed the defense materials of Gu'an City, and it is time to use some large siege equipment. Regular siege soldiers are different from cannon fodder troops, many of them are veterans of the battlefield, and their combat power is much stronger than that of novices. Therefore, it is naturally best to be able to reduce the losses of these soldiers.

The trebuchet, a heavy weapon on the battlefield, is equivalent to the rocket artillery of the era before Yuan Chang traveled, and its power is absolutely amazing, there is no doubt about it. It's just that trebuchets are bulky and require hundreds of people to control. Otherwise, how can a boulder of hundreds of catties and nearly a thousand catties be moved by several people?

"Boom!"

The trebuchet is indeed a big killer on the battlefield, when the trebuchet is used, there is a huge roar on the walls of Anseong, and some walls are actually shattered under the attack of the trebuchet. If you do it again, I'm afraid it will be a little dangerous for the old Anseong.

For trebuchets, Gongsun Chan was also a little helpless.

The trebuchet has a long range. The damage is large, and except for some marksmen, it is basically impossible to shoot soldiers who are out of range. Opposite. Of course, using a sharpshooter to ignite a rocket and attack a soldier on a trebuchet is a good idea, but it takes enough marksmen to do it. Moreover, even if Yuan Shao's soldiers were shot off the trebuchet, Yuan Shao could continue to let the soldiers fill the void, and the trebuchet was not so easy to destroy at all.

In the same way, Gongsun Chan can also use another method. That is to send Hakuba Yoshiko to destroy the opponent's siege equipment. It's just that the time is not yet ripe, so Gongsun Chan didn't use it.

Whether it is Gongsun Chan or Yuan Shao, they all know. Today's battle is a battle to test the strength of the other side, and everyone does not show a real fighting posture. Although the opponent's siege equipment was a great threat to his side, Gongsun Chan didn't want to put Bai Ma Yicong into the battlefield too early. Everyone's strength is about the same. The strength is about the same. Now it's just the beginning of the war. It has not yet reached the point of using the trump card. If it were known that he had a history of assassination by the state, but he didn't even have other subordinates who could handle it, and every time he used the White Horse Righteous Servant to solve the crisis, wouldn't he become the laughing stock of others? Therefore, Gongsun Chan decided to wait a little longer, and it was almost time before he sent the White Horse Righteous Servant that he valued the most.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Just as Gongsun Chan was staring at the trebuchet in the distance, a loud noise sounded under his feet, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. And the one that caused such a formation. Naturally, it was Yuan Shao's rushing troops.

The function of the chariot is to use it to storm the enemy's city gate, which is equivalent to fixing two large iron rods on a carriage. Then, go and bang on the gates. The city gate is just tied behind the back, and it can't last long, and once it is opened, the consequences can be imagined! There is another advantage of rushing to attack the city, that is, while sparing the arrows and feathers of the defending side, you can hide under the city and hit the city gate with peace of mind, as long as the city gate is opened, the other merits will not matter.

"Come on, get ready to boil!"

Although the car was hidden under the city wall, Gongsun Chan did not feel impatient because of this. Hiding at the gate of the city is indeed a good choice, however, because hiding under the city wall and not running for a certain distance, the role of rushing cannot be maximized, and it is also a waste. Of course, Gongsun Chan, as the defender of the city, didn't have much idea about how to use the chariot, and he had only one purpose, that is, to repel Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses.

Soon, the boiling oil appeared in front of everyone.

"Fall!"

Gongsun Zhan waved his hand, and the steaming oil was still pouring down the city wall, and the target was the Jizhou soldier who was pushing the car at the city gate.

"Ahh

Such a hot boiling oil, as long as it is stained with a drop, it is enough to make people die of pain, and the Jizhou soldiers under the city wall can't see the situation on the city wall. Therefore, when Gongsun Chan gave the order to attack with boiling oil, most of the soldiers under the city walls did not see it. Therefore, in addition to Gongsun Zhan's use of boiling oil, it has achieved great results. At least two-thirds of the soldiers were burned by the boiling oil, some only stained their arms, chests and other parts, but did not do much damage, while some soldiers were burned in key positions, and suddenly a terrible scream rang out. What was even more frightening was that some of the soldiers' faces were burned beyond recognition, and they even died because they couldn't bear the pain.

"Brethren, be careful of the boiling oil on the top of the city, and keep an eye on the top of the wall, so that the enemy may not be taken advantage of. ”

A captain hurriedly reminded him after seeing his own tragic situation.

"Roll oil ready, fall!"

When the boiling oil was boiled again, Gongsun Chan gave the order without saying a word. The battlefield is critical, but there is no time for people to think, and everything must be done in a clear and hierarchical manner.

This time, because the rushing soldiers under the city had been prepared, the damage caused by the boiling oil was not as serious as the first time. At most, some of the soldiers were burned, but most of them were lucky enough to dodge the boiling oil attack. It's just that if it keeps going like this, I'm afraid that their rushing cars won't be able to continue to work, and they will knock the city gate open.
