315 The end of Gongsun Zhan

It was obvious that Yuan Shao was not ready for an attack from Guo Peng.

His main force is still besieging Yijing.

During this period of time, the Youzhou United Army has basically uprooted Gongsun Zhan's power in Youzhou, and Gongsun Zhan's younger brother Gongsun Fan has suffered repeated defeats, lost his troops and lost his generals, and has returned to Yijing to join Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Zhan's field troops were completely lost, and the remaining cities that were not lost also lost foreign aid, so they could only defend the city, just like Yi Jing, unable to support each other in all aspects.

Some people suggested that Gongsun Chan lead the elite troops out of the city to attack the weaker Youzhou United Army, save those cities that are unwilling to surrender, and then gather troops to counterattack, then there is still a possibility that things will be done.

If you don't make a decision, once the situation collapses, there is no hope.

But Gongsun Chan didn't seem to have the idea of sending troops to fight.

He built Yi Jing higher and higher, the walls became thicker and thicker, and the moat became deeper and deeper, and he felt that by doing so, he could firmly hold Yi Jing and make it impossible for Yuan Shao to attack.

Because he didn't want to hear any more bad news, he didn't even allow any adult men to approach the castle where he lived, and allowed him to live alone with his ladies, and then train some loud women to use to pass orders.

Alienated from the generals, alienated from the guests, alienated from the soldiers, the invincible white horse general seemed to be dead, no longer existed.

His soldiers gradually did not know who they were fighting for and why they were fighting in such a desperate situation.

If it weren't for the fact that Gongsun Zhan Tuntian got a lot of food and the army had something to eat, it is estimated that Yi Jing would have collapsed.

Yuan Shao concentrated 20,000 troops to attack Yijing, and then transferred 10,000 troops to attack Yijing, and together with 20,000 Youzhou United Army, increased the number of troops to 50,000, and attacked Yijing for several days, making Yijing a flamed war, and there was not a day when he was not fighting.

Gongsun Zhan's soldiers gradually became tired, and they were extremely desperate to see the future war.

And as time went by, those cities that originally expected Gongsun Chan to come to the rescue also felt that there was no hope, and surrendered one after another, turning their guns to attack Gongsun Chan.

Gongsun Chan rebelled and left his relatives, and there was no hope of victory.

On the eve of Guo Peng's army, a mutiny broke out in Yi Jingnei, although it was suppressed, but this was enough to show that Gongsun Zhan's prestige and dominance were no longer enough for the soldiers to die for him.

The soldiers didn't want to fight in desperation like this anymore.

They don't see the future, they don't see the hope of victory, but the chances of survival are getting slimmer.

Can you continue to fight?

No!

They also had their own ideas, and felt that they needed to find some way out for themselves on their own, so they contributed to such a mutiny.

Although it didn't succeed, Lu Yi, who was commanding the troops on the front line, already understood that Gongsun Chan was a rabbit whose tail couldn't grow.

So Lu Yi ordered to intensify the pace of the onslaught, making the soldiers in the city desperate, causing more chaos, the Jizhou army and the Youzhou combined army to join forces and besiege Yijing on all sides, and the walls of Yijing were in danger.

At this time, Yuan Shao came with some reinforcements, which aggravated the despair of the soldiers in Yijing City.

Earlier, Yuan Shao received a proposal from his subordinates, suggesting that Yuan Shao use the method of digging tunnels to attack the tall and deep city walls of Yijing, which Yuan Shao adopted and ordered the front line to do the same.

After preparing for a while, the tunnel had been dug and was not discovered by Gongsun Zhan.

The strategy that Guo Peng and Lu Zhi used to deal with the Yellow Turban Army was used by Yuan Shao to deal with Gongsun Zhan.

Light a fire, exit from the tunnel, wait for the stakes to be burned, wait for the complete collapse of the city walls.

Then, the outer walls of Yijing collapsed.

Very suddenly, without warning, it collapsed.

A large gap was revealed, and the dawn of victory was in sight.

"Rush in for me!!!"

Koji Yi personally led the troops to attack, the war drums beat like crazy, and the final Armageddon began.

The herald rushed to the fortress where Gongsun Chan was very anxious, and spread the news of the fall of the outer city inward, and the defenders of the fortress were all shocked and panicked.

Gongsun Chan soon learned of this, he was horrified, and hurriedly asked the people around him if Guo Peng had sent reinforcements, and the people around him replied that no, Gongsun Zhan's face turned pale, and then scolded Guo Peng for not saving him when he saw death.

Then Gongsun Zhan asked him again before he sent his son Gongsun Xu to ask for help from Zhang Yan's department of the Black Mountain Army, but didn't Zhang Yan's department come to the rescue?

The people around him replied that Zhang Yan seemed to have sent troops, but he had not yet arrived.

Gongsun Chan suddenly felt that everything was over, and in desperation, he finally decided to leave this dock fort and fight a bloody way to survive.

As a result, when he was ready to go out with his family members, he found that it was too late.

All around are Jizhou soldiers and Youzhou United Army, Yijing City is in a mess, and the city he has worked so hard to build in line with his own royal spirit is so unguardable, which makes Gongsun Zan puzzled.

I don't understand it, but he still worked hard to lead the army to fight once.

As a result, when I heard that Gongsun Chan was here, more Yuan Jun and Youzhou combined forces rushed over to kill Gongsun Chan and gain wealth.

The famous White Horse General couldn't afford the heavy reward, and Gongsun Chan became the indicator of the reward.

In the end, he really couldn't kill it, so Gongsun Chan could only lead people to retreat to his central fortress, trapped in the lonely fortress, and all thoughts were lost.

Outside the lonely fort, a large number of Jizhou soldiers and Youzhou coalition forces were storming, and inside the lonely fort, he was isolated and helpless, and the number of soldiers around him was not large.

The family wept bitterly, as if they had anticipated their end.

Gongsun Chan also seems to have anticipated his end.

But even months ago, he didn't think so, he didn't think he would fall so quickly.

But that's just the way it is.

Gongsun Chan has no way to live, and Yuan Shao will inevitably kill him.

In this case, Gongsun Chan cannot be humiliated.

Gongsun Chan gradually calmed down, held the knife in his hand tightly, and looked at the family members behind him with murderous intent.

Then raise the knife and kill.

Wives and concubines, young children, and maidservants, all slew them.

Some pleaded, others fled in all directions, unwilling to die.

Faced with such a situation, Gongsun Chan was very annoyed and angrily reprimanded these family members.

"Do you still want to be Yuan Shao's slave and survive? Gongsun Bogui's family is not allowed to live!! ”

Gongsun Chan slaughtered his family as if he had lost his mind, and finally, looking at his wife whose face was full of tears but did not shed tears, Gongsun Chan's hands couldn't help shaking.

"I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you in the next life."

"Bogui, do we have an afterlife?"

Gongsun Zhan was stunned for a moment, leaned less, pursed his lips, forcibly pressed the grief, and then roared, stepped forward and stabbed his wife's body, relieving his wife's pain with resolute means.

In the end, Gongsun Zhan's side followed him were all old guards who had followed him since he started his army.

They watched in silence as Gongsun Chan tried to ensure his last dignity.

"If you want to surrender, if you want to escape, go ahead, and before you go, help me do one last thing."

Gongsun Zhan pointed to the pile of wood next to him: "I will never let Yuan Shao insult me, before you escape, light the wood here for me." ”

The guards, look at me, I look at you, silently helped Gongsun Chan prepare for the ignition, and then handed the torch to Gongsun Chan.

"Let's go, maybe you can escape with your life, and stay incognito in the future, don't say that you have followed me, in this way, you may be able to get a good death."

Gongsun Chan threw the torch into the firewood pile, and the greased firewood pile soon burned violently.

"General, I don't want to go."

One of the guards spoke.

"I don't want to leave either."

"Me too, I'm not leaving."

"Even if I go, I can't escape death, General, I am willing to follow the General to the end."

The guards said this one after another, and dozens of people stood behind him together, unwilling to leave.

Gongsun Chan looked back at these old guards, who he had even forgotten their names, and sighed deeply, his heart swelling with infinite remorse, which he had never felt since he was besieged.

At the last moment of his life, Gongsun Chan finally began to reflect on what he had done.

"What have Gongsun Bogui done in his life......"
