Chapter 472: Jizhou Blitzkrieg (Part II)

Good! ”

The news of Xu Rong, Zhao Yun and others quickly reached Gongsun Du, earlier than Yuan Shao.

"This should probably be regarded as a blitzkrieg in the era of cold weapons!"

Gongsun Du's attack plan for Xu Rong and the others naturally had been known for a long time, but after seeing the effect, he couldn't help but be full of joy.

Gongsun Du's face suddenly straightened, and he shouted: "Where is Zhang Liao? ”

With a "bang", the door was pushed open, Zhang Liao strode forward, and replied in the same voice: "My subordinates are here!" ”

"Pass on the order, everyone immediately assembles and prepares to go!" Gongsun Du spoke quickly, and his movements were not slow, and he began to exchange for his armor after speaking.

"Yes, my lord."

Zhang Liao first responded, and then asked, "Lord, what do we want?" ”

Gongsun Du's movements in his hand paused, and then recovered, and he replied: "My old friend has a few days to live, so I just went to give him a ride." ”

"Uh...... Be! Zhang Liao didn't understand what he was saying, but he understood that he was going to go far away. After going out, in addition to ordering everyone to pack up and prepare for departure, he also asked everyone to bring enough food for three days.

There were 1,000 people in the pro-soldier team, and they were fully armed, and the movement was not small, first of all, Zhang Zhi and other women in the backyard rushed over.

"Master, are you going to go far away?" Zhang Zhi is no longer young, but now she is not the person who dared to take risks to find the person she liked. However, when she saw the armor on Gongsun Du's body, she also knew that she couldn't stop it, but she was quite worried.

Gongsun Du smiled apologetically, and threw the winged Dapeng knife into Zhang Liao's hand, but fortunately, this guy was prepared and held it steadily, otherwise he would be embarrassed. Then, Gongsun Du stepped forward to give Zhang Zhi, Huang Qing and other women a warm hug, and then turned around and left the mansion without hesitation.

Zhang Liao and the others didn't dare to watch inside, and had already retreated outside the mansion.

"Let's go." Gongsun Du took back the winged Dapeng knife, and with an order, a thousand elites went straight out of Zhuo County and galloped south.

Xun You and the others were a little slower, and when they came to the city gate, they only saw the flying dust that Gongsun Du brought up when he left.

"Let's go!" Xun You seemed to have expected it, and said very plainly, "Let's be optimistic about our home!" If the lord comes back and something goes wrong, I'm afraid no one will be able to escape responsibility. ”

"That's right, let's go back~" Wei You echoed first, because of this experience, he was the most out of everyone, and now he was used to it. It's just that he's used to it, and every time he starts to chase it out, he's in a hurry. Ten years is like a day, it's all short!

Gongsun Du led people to gallop along the official road all the way, passing through the cities and had no intention of attacking and stopping, just walking around the city. The soldiers of the Yuan army defending the city were startled, so although they didn't do anything, they caused a lot of chickens and dogs to jump.

In less than two days, Gongsun Du advanced by leaps and bounds, and arrived at Yang City in Julu County, which was about half the way from Yecheng, that is, less than two days.

Xu Rong and Zhao Yun got the news of Gongsun Du's southward journey one after another at this time.

"The lord is about to arrive, we must speed up, even if we can't take Yecheng before the lord arrives, at least we must come to the city." Xu Rong said to Huang Zhong and the others with a solemn expression.

"Impossible! Even if we join forces with Zhao Yun of Xiangguo and the eldest prince of Qu Zhou, we will not be able to kill Yecheng in less than two days, let alone take it down. Huang Zhong shook his head first.

The rest of the colonels nodded in agreement. The speed of their march was really not slow, but first of all, there was food and grass to take care of, and it was impossible to really rush forward completely desperately, so that they would not be able to break the city when they reached the city; The second is to attack the city, even if the Yuan army disperses quickly, it will take time, and it will not be a moment and a half.

The main and most important point is that after so many days of raids, it has long been sleepy. Weather is one reason, but only manpower and horsepower can be relied on as well.

Xu Rong also understood the reason, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

Suddenly, Xu Rong's eyes flashed, and he said, "What do you think of the current Yuan Army's combat power?" ”

Huang Zhong's face was filled with disdain, and he said, "Vulnerable!" ”

A junior colonel chimed in: "That's right, otherwise we wouldn't have killed here so quickly." Yuan Jun has long been rotten to the roots, and he can't stop us at all. ”

"Good!"

Xu Rong clapped his hands and raised his voice: "Huang Zhong! ”

"General!" Huang Zhong said solemnly.

"This general ordered the army to be 3,000 immediately, don't worry about other cities along the way, just go to Yecheng, and be sure to surround Yecheng before the lord." Since Xu Rong had made up his mind, the order was quite crisp.

"Yes!"

Huang Zhong didn't ask much, and immediately went out of the tent, ordered 3,000 cavalry, and killed Yecheng. This is the tacit understanding between him and Xu Rong who have cooperated for many years, and he believes that Xu Rong's move will have deep meaning and can also solve the war in the future.

Zhao Yun made the same choice, the difference was that Zhao Yun chose to personally lead people south, and the task of taking other cities was handed over to others. According to the cities he had captured earlier, Zhao Yun thought that the remaining cities would not be much better, and they would not be the opponents of the Youzhou army, so in this way, the safety of Gongsun Du was even more important in comparison.

Gongsun Yi got the news a little later, but he didn't have to think about it anymore, because he got the news from Xu Rong and made a decision.

"Divide 4,000 people and go to Yecheng with the Governor of Benzhou, and the rest of the people, follow the captain and military division of Taishi, and cooperate with General Xu to continue to attack Jizhou."

Along the way, Gongsun Yi was very excited: Are you going to fight side by side with your father again? It's good to fight tiger brothers and go into battle as father and son soldiers! But when was the last time? Why does it feel so far away, so far away that it has been forgotten......

Gongsun Du knew about the movement of these three roads the next day, because he had already come to Ren County, and he was about to enter Wei County tonight, and the speed could not be described as unfast.

did not stay in Ren County, and it took more than an hour to rush to Nanhe City, although Gongsun Du did not enter the city this time, but stayed outside the city for a short time, making the city gate clean and slippery.

In half an hour, Gongsun Du got what he wanted to do, and continued to go south with people.

After traveling less than twenty miles, Zhang Liao suddenly came to report: "Lord, there are enemy troops chasing us!" ”

"Oh?"

Gongsun Du was a little surprised, but after a little contemplation, he understood that these people were from Nanhe, who had just passed by, and they were just ......

"Since they want to die, let them be fulfilled!"

Gongsun Du didn't bother to think deeply, and asked: "Can Wenyuan be sure?" ”

"No problem!"

Zhang Liao's spirit was shocked and he should go. Immediately, he left 100 people to protect Gongsun Du, and brought 900 people to kill him.

Back to say that most of the hours ago, Li Xuan, the guard general of Nanhe, was shocked when he heard that the Youzhou army was coming. In the past two days, he is very clear about what the Youzhou Army has done in Jizhou, and at this time, the Youzhou Army has arrived-

Is it to attack Nanhe?

I can't help Li Xuan not think like this, I really heard that the Youzhou army has changed!

After Gongsun Du led people away, Li Xuan first relaxed. And then it didn't take long for his mind to come aliveβ€”

Why did the Youzhou army pass and not attack? Is there not enough manpower? Or are you afraid of Li?

Li Xuan is Yuan Shao's maternal relative, and in terms of relationship, he can be compared with him by senior cadres. Therefore, Li Xuan has always looked down on Gao Ran and others in the army, thinking that they are just reckless people and have nothing to do with their reputation. The disappearance of Gao Lan, Zhang He and others last year made Li Xuan even more firm in this idea.

At this point, the idea is like seaweed, growing wildly in my mind.

As a result, Li Xuan made the decision to lead his troops in pursuit.

Nanhe originally had 2,000 defenders because of Li Xuan's relationship, but in recent days, he has gathered some defeated troops who have fled from other places, and the number is about to reach 3,000. In this pursuit, Li Xuan brought 2,000 men in order to achieve a complete victory.

Rumble...... Da Da ......

Li Xuan heard the movement of Zhang Liao bringing people back, and subconsciously asked, "What sound?" ”

No one could answer his question, but in a blink of an eye, Li Xuan saw the figure of Zhang Liao and others, and couldn't help but be surprised: "They actually killed back?" ”

"Just right, kill them, and give good tidings to the Lord."

Immediately, it was a great joy, and Li Xuan immediately shouted: "All the soldiers will be killed with the general, and the one who kills the most enemies will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and he will be crowned a marquis!" ”

After yelling, Li Xuan regretted a little, the number of daughters was too much, not that he had no money, but that he felt that he was losing, but he couldn't do it. But then, Li Xuan forgot about this, because Zhang Liao had already rushed over.

The two thousand soldiers heard this, but they were overjoyed, and they didn't care about the truth at all, and rushed towards Zhang Liao and the others.

"I'm afraid it's not stupid!"

Zhang Liao had a "good" impression of Li Xuan, and immediately slashed out with a knife.

"Kill~"

The blade in Zhang Liao's hand was not the original one, but a reconstructed, sharper long knife. At this time, he flew left and right in his hands, and one after another Yuan soldiers were killed.

Li Xuan looked at Zhang Liao, who was full of might, and was a little frightened, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Quick, kill him!" ”

A murderous intent flashed in Zhang Liao's eyes, and with a turn of the knife, he pounced on Li Xuan.

The ensuing battle became simpler, Li Xuan was just a straw bag, and was so frightened by Zhang Liao that he fled directly, but was caught up by Zhang Liao, fell off his horse with a knife, and became a prisoner.

"Who is this man?" Gongsun Du waited on the side of the road for a long time, and when he saw Zhang Liao coming with a person, he couldn't help asking.

"It's the general of the Yuan army who wants to hunt down and kill us, I heard that he is the one who is the one who pursues us." Zhang Liao got the news from the other captured soldiers.

"Oh? Then kill it, it's also a burden to carry. Gongsun Du didn't care about this, just waved his hand casually.

Li Xuan panicked and hurriedly said, "Wait, my sister is the wife of Duke Yuan, you can't kill me!" ”

Gongsun Du became interested and waved his hand to stop the pro-soldiers who wanted to do it. Then, Li Xuan told Gongsun Du that his sister was Yuan Mai's mother, and she was deeply loved by Yuan Shao.

Gongsun Du thought for a while and said, "Okay, you still have some use, so take it!" ”

Zhang Liao answered and asked, "What about the other captives?" ”

"Let's put it all away!"

"Released?"

"Well, they are just poor people, and they will all be the people of such and such in the future, so there is no need to kill them all."

Gongsun Du is going to rush to Yecheng, so naturally it is impossible to bring a lot of burdens with him, not to mention the delay speed, it will also make their rations consumed in large quantities, so it is better to let it go.

After that, there were no pursuers along the way, and Gongsun Du arrived in Yecheng safely. Maybe they were afraid of the Youzhou Army, maybe they had a lesson from Li Xuan's past, or maybe they were concerned about Li Xuan's life......

"Yuan Shao, so-and-so is here, you better die early!"

Gongsun Du looked at Ye Cheng from a distance and whispered, and then led people to join Huang Zhong and the others.
