Chapter 18: The Soldiers Are Coming to the City

Bohai County has eight counties, namely: Nanpi, Dongguang, Chonghe, Gaocheng, Yangxin, Xiuxian, Fuyang, and Zhangwu.

Bohai County is governed by Nanpi City. Nanpi City is also a big city in Bohai County, and it is Yuan Shao's base camp in the early stage, so Yuan Shao has put a lot of effort into the repair of the city defense, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but who knows that it has now become an obstacle for himself.

As the younger brother of Gongsun Chan, Gongsun Fan has followed Gongsun Chan since he was a child to crusade against the alien Karasuma, and he has great military achievements, is proficient in martial arts, and is proficient in the art of war, which should not be underestimated.

When Gongsun Fan heard that Yuan Shao had sent 8,000 men and horses to attack him, he quickly sent scouts to investigate the situation of Guo Jia's army.

When he heard that the leader of the army was named Guo Jia, he directly gathered the soldiers and horses stationed in various counties and gathered all the 10,000 troops in Nanpi.

He had heard his elder brother Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei talk about Guo Jia's strategy, how many losses he brought to the coalition army with a plan to kill the general. Although there was only this plan, it was enough to show that this person was very resourceful, and he decided to be careful. (It is normal that the matter of assisting in the trial and matching and unifying Hebei Dace has not been spread outside, and the general policy is confidential.) )

Guo Jia actually didn't care much about Gongsun Fan, after all, Gongsun Fan was not very famous in history, but when he heard that Gongsun Fan directly gathered all the 10,000 troops in Nanpi, Guo Jia knew that he must not be careless.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan confronted each other in the Pan River, then the existence of Gongsun Fan is equivalent to a fire in the backyard, if this problem cannot be dealt with in time, it is easy to cause turmoil in the military spirit on the front line.

Gongsun Fan's purpose was obvious, that is, to hold on until Yuan Shao was defeated at the front.

Guo Jia sent many people to Zhao'an in various counties along the way, I have to say that Yuan Shao's reputation is still very effective, and the big clans in various places have expressed their support for Yuan Shao, and temporarily moved out of various private soldiers to garrison the city, Guo Jia also had to send troops to stay.

A few days later, the army marched to Nanpi, but Guo Jia did not let his men and horses surround Nanpi City.

Eight thousand people surrounded the city with 10,000 defenders, this was not a game, once Gongsun Fan went out of the city to attack the soldiers surrounding Simen, Guo Jia's troops would be difficult to stop. So Guo Jia decided to set up camp at the North Gate.

Outside the north gate, there is flat land, and there is also a water source nearby, which is suitable for the garrison of large armies.

In fact, Guo Jia is still very nervous in his heart, the first time he leads the army alone, can he not be nervous?

After resting for the night, Guo Jia led Dian Wei and others to the north gate of Nanpi City with 6,000 men, leaving 2,000 people to garrison the camp.

Guo Jia thought about it, and sent Dianwei forward to call for a battle, provoking Gongsun Fan to go out of the city to fight.

Moreover, Guo Jia deliberately taught Dian Wei a lot of extremely ugly swear words in advance, and if Gongsun Fan didn't come out, he would be scolded to death.

However, Gongsun Fan came out to meet him generously.

Guo Jia roughly calculated, it was also 6,000 people. However, Guo Jia stared at the cavalry of two hundred people.

White horse, white robe.

Could it be a white horse?

Seeing that Guo Jia was so young, Gongsun Fan smiled and said, "Yuan Shao's old thief has no one to send, and he actually sent a son to attack me, it's really a joke"

Guo Jia smiled coldly, sample, and brother than mouth cannon?

"Yes, Guo is the most incompetent under my lord. Incompetent people deal with even more incompetent people like generals. ”

Gongsun Fan fully embodies the steadiness that does not match his age, "the power of the tongue." Dare to fight me! ”

"Both sides sent two hundred cavalry and one general, soldiers to the city, holding a flag, the one who captures the flag, wins! You dare to fight! ”

Gongsun Fan glanced at the two hundred white horse servants on the side, and thought to himself that if Guo Jia agreed, then he would win, and he could use this to boost the morale of the army and stick to Nanpi City. As long as he dragged this army of soldiers and horses, the greater the probability that his brother would defeat Yuan Shao.

Guo Jia understood Gongsun Fan's thoughts, and held on to the city with the help of the great victory, just like Zhang Liao's idea of breaking 100,000 from 800 to 100,000.

White Horse is a little troublesome.

According to historical records, Bai Ma Yi originally referred to those who were good at shooting after following Zhan, and Hou Zhan deeply felt the importance of an elite cavalry in the battle with the Xiongnu. Therefore, with those who were good at shooting, a light cavalry unit was formed. Because Chan loves white horses, the troops are all white horses, and in order to express their loyalty, the troops all shout: "Where righteousness goes, life and death go hand in hand!" The sky can be learned, and the white horse is the proof! Hence the name White Horse Yicong.

However, the white horse is a light horse, and to be precise, it should be a bow horse, and there are some small problems with it when used to fight soldiers.

Moreover, a general, hum, is the ancient evil enough?

You say Dian Wei has no brains?

It is indeed a reckless man who has brute force and does not know martial arts skills, but Dian Wei is obviously not.

Why did the ancients rarely use halberds, because this kind of weapon is too difficult to use, both strength and skill, the two are combined, in order to play the usefulness of the halberd, Dian Wei's double iron halberd needs more skills.

And these fierce generals often have a special intuition about the battlefield, which often allows them to break the enemy army.

(Later veterans who retired from the battlefield said that they did have this intuition)

However, after all, the white horse is an elite, so... Pregnant.

"Brother Dian, come here with your ears, you do this and this, use this method to break the enemy army, and then you do this again."

Dian Wei was stunned at first, then glanced at Guo Jia, his eyes were full of shock, Guo Jia met his gaze, nodded, Dian Wei hugged his fists and said, "The last general will take the order!" ”

Although Guo Jia's method sounds a little incredible, for Dian Wei, he just needs to trust his husband and fully complete his task.

The same is true for Guo Jia, he can fully trust Dian Wei, because Dian Wei will execute his arrangement perfectly, and there will be absolutely no discount in the slightest.

Dian Wei chose 200 cavalry to follow him into battle, and nine of them were death row prisoners who had been locked up together.

And Bai Ma Yi went silently and silently to the front of the two armies.

Guo Jia secretly praised, worthy of being the world's strongest army white horse righteous servant, this composure and calmness, as well as this discipline, but Guo is going to defeat you.

"Brothers, everyone says that he is a white horse and righteous and powerful, I don't believe in this evil, you tell me, do you believe it or not?"

"Don't believe it!"

"Don't believe it!"

"Don't believe it!"

Guo Jia nodded, and the military heart was available.

When Guo Jia led the troops, he often asked the soldiers to implement the system of three meals a day, which was diametrically opposed to the system of two meals a day for the princes, after all, the consumption would be a lot more. However, he also won the gratitude of the soldiers, and in their opinion, Guo Jia showed compassion for the soldiers.

Well, in fact, Guo Jia's main reason is that he is uncomfortable if he doesn't eat three meals a day, and he is embarrassed to open a small stove alone. Besides, if you have enough to eat, you will always work hard, and the grain and grass are not mine.
