Chapter 725: Yecheng Breaks, Every Yuan Dies, (2-in-1)
It's a pity that it was too late for Fengji to give the order.
Trebuchets outside the city bombarded intensively and threw stone projectiles in this direction.
Countless stone bullets flew in, and the trebuchets in the city that were not in a hurry to move in the future were smashed, and those who were barely spared were smashed in the next wave of stone bullets because of the inconvenience of transfer.
Whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, their trebuchets do not have base pulleys, the design is simple and cumbersome, and it is very inconvenient to move.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that their trebuchet was destroyed, Han Juzi and the others were annoyed.
It was a weapon to fight back, and it was destroyed before it could be used.
This battle was very embarrassing.
couldn't help but raise their heads and stare at the hot air balloons on stage, one by one with great resentment.
With this thing here, they will have no secrets at all when they defend the city.
Where there are more soldiers and horses in the city, where there are few, the other party is clear at a glance.
Nine times out of ten, this city will not be able to hold it.
"Cheer up, the Donglai army is going to attack the city, and this battle can only be fought to the death." Feng Ji reminded everyone.
There is no way back in the first place, what's the use of thinking so much.
Soon, the stone bullets of the Donglai army were almost smashed, and the East City Gate was not very good, and there were countless gaps and deep pits on the walls.
"Boom!" Finally, a stone bullet hit the city gate.
The sturdy gate tower clattered and collapsed.
Fortunately, the guards used their bodies to protect Feng Ji and pulled him out so that he would not be crushed to death on the spot.
Feng Ji only then felt that the real death had come.
Yuan Xi brought people up, and when he saw that Feng Ji was fine, he was relieved.
If the enemy army has not officially attacked the city gate, and Feng Ji has died first, then the city will not have to be defended at all.
Relying on him, Yuan Xi was far from being able to control the armies.
"The right flank of the Fifth Captain's Army attacked, and the left flank of the Second Captain's Army attacked, and a hot air balloon was lifted into the air, and I suppressed the city head to assist the two armies to take the city gate." Guo Jia drew his sword and pointed at the chariot.
The drums are pounding.
The captains of the two military colonies descended the mountain like tigers, and found that the shouts of killing rushed towards the city gate.
At this time, the trebuchet was still smashing and did not stop.
It was not until the two corps of lieutenants rushed twenty or thirty steps below the city that the attack was stopped.
"Quick, crossbowmen in position, shoot me ......"
In a few blinks of an eye, the Donglai army rushed to the city, but it was not the cloud ladder troops in front, but the shield bearers of Yishui, they suddenly stopped, set up a shield array in front, and stacked three layers.
He was followed by soldiers armed with repeaters, as well as archers.
Finding the crossbowmen of the Yuan army who were rising, they first shot arrows towards the city to suppress them.
The Yuan army in the city was hit by arrows one after another, and then people fell.
The two sides shot arrows and crossbows at each other in the city, and a short- and medium-distance game began first.
"Rush! Go up the ladder! ”
Guan Yu, Guan Hai, Tai Shici, Li Dian and others saw the hot air balloon floating overhead, and finally ordered the generals to complete the last charge.
Countless soldiers carried the ladder on the wall, and then climbed it one by one.
Both infantry armies are elite, and there is a training subject such as the military pentathlon in peacetime, and there is a special army of captains who kick the city.
The ladder was flat at their feet, and in two or three breaths they kicked to the top, and then leapt to the top of the city.
Countless soldiers followed below, all of them were like this, fast and fierce, and they didn't care about anything.
When Yuan Jun was still in a hurry, he was in a hurry to smash stones and pour oil, and when he aimed at the target, he stepped on the head of the city.
It's staggeringly fast.
"Quick! Drive them down. ”
Feng Ji, Yuan Xi, Han Juzi and others were shocked.
Donglai's foot soldiers were so brave and vigorous, they hadn't reacted yet, and they rushed to the city.
However, at this time, they could not think too much, so they could only command the army to fight for the head of the city, and the soldiers and horses of the two sides fought hand-to-hand and bloody battles on the city, fighting together.
Although the number of Donglai troops was a little smaller at the beginning, as more and more people kicked the city below, they gradually gained a firm foothold in the city.
In particular, the hot air balloon floated to the head of the city, the crossbowmen shot towards the rear of Yuan Jun, and the bombardier ignited the small oil bottle and smashed it towards the side of Feng Ji, Yuan Xi, Han Juzi and other important people.
Feng Ji, Yuan Xi, Han Juzi and others retreated.
"Poof!" Feng Jiyi was accidentally shot by an arrow, and the personal guard dragged him down to the city.
Yuan Xi and Han Juzi saw that they couldn't do anything, so they had to retreat to the inner city while fighting.
At this time, Guan Yu, Guan Hai, Tai Shici, Li Dian and other generals also kicked the city, killed from the female walls on both sides of the city gate, and soon captured the outer city wall and killed towards the inner gate.
A creaking sounded, the outer city gate was pushed open, and countless Donglai troops swarmed in.
Guan Yu, Guan Hai and other fierce generals slashed in front, Tai Shici took the bow carried by his own soldiers, wound up to find the target, and saw Yuan Xi wearing armor being protected by Han Juzi and others and running back.
Aim and shoot an arrow, followed by three arrows in a row.
"Poof!" Yuan Xi's body was crooked, Han Juzi was shocked that the second son was hit by an arrow, and the next moment, his body stagnated, and he was also hit by an arrow in the shoulder.
There were hot air balloons at the east gate to help, and the siege went very smoothly.
It was taken with almost no casualties.
The city gate was captured, and Yuan's army scattered and fled, heading straight for the west gate.
Although the trial match on the south gate side was also bombarded with trebuchets, and soon sent Xu Rong and other generals to attack.
But the two sides fought fiercely at the gates and on the city.
Jiang Qi is very good at leading troops to wave, has the style of a veteran, and is calm and calm in the face of the attack of the Donglai army.
In history, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao Guandu fought a battle, defeated and returned to Yecheng, and each general fled back.
He was the only one who collected the rout while retreating, and finally organized a defensive line to cover Yuan Shao's safe return to Yecheng.
It can be seen that he is capable of people.
Therefore, the battle at the south gate was quite fierce, and both sides came up with their own means, and the trial and Xu Rong were blocked for a while, and the battle became anxious.
"General, it's a big deal, the east gate has been breached!"
Suddenly, someone went to Nancheng to report to Jiang Qi, with a panicked face.
Jiang Qi's face darkened, and his brows furrowed: "You dare to fake the news, someone will pull it out and cut it." ”
This has just started, and you say that the east gate is broken, and it is Feng Ji and Yuan Xi who suppressed it.
I can't let the Donglai army enter here, and the East Gate should be about the same.
"General, what I said is true, the east gate is lost, and the adults, the second son, and General Han are all ......"
Jiang Qi's face was like frost, and he hurriedly walked over and stabbed the person who reported the news with a sword.
Listen, is this human talk?
Feng Ji, Yuan Xi, and Han Juzi were all particularly hit by arrows, so you have to make up a reasonable reason.
For this kind of demagogic army chaos and shaken the will to defend the city, Jiang Qi did not have the slightest politeness and killed him on the spot.
"General...... What I'm saying is true! The person who reported the news was very unwilling, and his face was full of grievances.
"Still look at what to do, continue to defend the city, don't let the enemy army kill you, Feng Gong, the second prince will be fine, the east gate will be fine, we haven't been defeated yet, how can something happen to the south gate." Jiang Qi shouted at the puzzled soldiers.
When everyone thinks about it, it's right to think about it.
Under our Nanmen people, General Jiang Qi alone fought to a tie with the Donglai Army, and there was no reason for something to happen at the East Gate.
So the generals defended the city with peace of mind and fought back with the Donglai army.
Jiang Qi only glanced in the direction of Dongcheng, and then continued to command without being disturbed by the bystandings.
However, after a while, there were countless shouts of killing behind him, and the soldiers of the Second Captain's Army came to support the Ninth Captain's Army to take the south gate.
"General, look, this is the Donglai Army!"
Jiang Qi's guards showed a look of panic, and Jiang Qi's heart also burst out, turning around and drawing his sword to go down to the city to fight with the soldiers of the second lieutenant army who rushed in.
But as soon as he got off the wall, an arrow flew in his face and nailed it into the masonry of the earthen wall.
The arrow pierced the armor and penetrated several inches deep.
Jiang Qi hurriedly stopped and retreated half a body.
The second lieutenant army under the city did not charge, but surrounded the Yuan army under the city under the city.
Then he rode a horse to the front of the battle, this person was Tai Shici, he still held a longbow in his hand, and the arrow was on the string, ready to be set off at any time.
"Jiang Qi is not surrendered yet, and the next arrow will not miss."
Behind Tai Shi Ci, a flag with the word Tai Shi blows westward in the wind, which is particularly dazzling.
Jiang Qi knew who it would be, and he was uneasy, but his face was still quite calm, and he put the horizontal sword on his chest and asked, "Taishi Ziyi, how is Feng Gong and the second son?" ”
Tai Shi Ci replied coldly: "Feng Ji was hit by an arrow, and the rescue was ineffective and died, and Yuan Xi was killed by my three arrows." ”
It turned out to be true.
A wry smile appeared on Jiang Qi's face, then he let out a long sigh and threw the sword in his hand to the ground.
The message given by Tai Shi Ci is obvious.
As soon as Jiang Qi fell, the generals of the four regions also lost their weapons.
Soon the south gate opened, and the Ninth Captain entered the city.
Tao Sheng of Beicheng and Zheng Gu of the West Gate heard the news that the East Gate was broken, and fled with a small number of henchmen and guards at the first time and ran to Taihang Mountain.
At this point, the Donglai army captured Yecheng, and captured Yuan Shao's wife and concubines, as well as a number of civil and military families, completing the first step of the plan.
The three armies successfully met, and then Guo Jia carried out a new task assignment in the city.
"According to the meaning of the lord, after the capture of Yecheng, the prince and the prince moved to Jizhou to assassinate the history, so the prince and you are going to sit in Jizhou, and you have no part in the next war." Guo Jia taught the Tao in a serious way.
Everyone laughed on the spot, and gave him a frustrated look and replied, "Okay! If you don't have a share, you don't have a share, I followed Zilong around in such a big circle, the old bones are about to fall apart, just in time to rest, how can you be like you who work hard, and you have no blessing to enjoy. ”
The crowd burst into laughter again.
Both the frustration and the trial are all local clans in Jizhou, and when Jizhou assassinates the history, it can be a good way to appease Jizhou.
However, the trial and takeover of Taizhou is still short, and he will go back to continue to do his Taizhou Assassin History after the fight, and he has been a Qingzhou Assassin for so long, Qingzhou is also stable, and there are two subordinates to deal with the problem, and he can completely let go.
Then Guo Jia said: "Zhengnan is also from Jizhou, so next Zhengnan will lead a team of people to the north to collect Changshan and Zhongshan." ”
The judge clasped his fists and replied: "It is my duty." ”
"I'll go and clean up the high cadres and Xulin in Qinghe County first, eat them, and we will go north with the whole army and fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao in Youzhou."
"That's exactly how it should be!"
After taking Yecheng, the first step has been laid, and everyone is more confident.
Soon, he and Zhao Yun's sixth lieutenant rode 5,000 and the ninth lieutenant army of 8,000, waved his army north, attacked Changshan Kingdom first, and then turned to attack Zhongshan Kingdom in the east.
Along the way, Yuan Jun and Yuan generals were either killed, routed, or surrendered.
Fu Zhu and Li Dian's 4,000 elites and thousands of county soldiers from Qingzhou and Taizhou stayed in Yecheng, and at the same time trained and surrendered troops to form a local defense force in Jizhou Prefecture and County.
Only then did Guo Jia take 4,000 Taishi Ci and 8,000 Fifth Captains back to deal with Ganling City.
…………
Xu Shu has been standing still in Linyu City, Yan Liang and Xuan Yuanping have not noticed anything, but Xu Yu and Xun Kanyi, who are far away in Jixian County, have discovered the problem.
"Lord, things are strange, Xu Shu obviously has an army of forty or fifty thousand, but he is not moving, I am afraid that it will be a fraud."
Yuan Shao said: "What do you mean, Xu Shu doesn't have so many troops in his hands, and he is strategically paralyzing us." ”
"That's right, my lord, if Xu Shu has so many troops, he can completely advance to the west to attack the city, and their navy only feints along the coast, and never really goes ashore to attack the city, this is to attract our attention and divide the strength of our army, I'm afraid what he is trying is not Liaoxi." Xu Yu replied.
Yuan Shao said: "Then where is his picture?" ”
"It should be Yuyang County, either to support Zou Dan from the north, or to land and attack Yongnu, or he wants to attack both ways, and then recapture Yuyang, and then surround our army's soldiers and horses in the area of Youbeiping and Liaodong." Xu You pointed to the map and said vigorously.
After the words fell, a messenger ran in outside the door.
"Lord, Yuyang County is now the Donglai Army, Xu Ding's disciple Tian Yu led the tenth army to the south, General Wangmen was killed, Tian Yu and the Zou Dan army who killed out of the city attacked, General Chun was defeated, fortunately General Guo Yuan's support was timely, the army did not suffer too much loss, and temporarily retreated to Hunu City."
"Bang!"
Yuan Shao slapped his palm on the desk, and anger rose on his face.
"Chun Yuqiong is useless, and it is a big thing for our army, it really deserves to be killed."
Yuan Shao is not calling if the king is dead, because this is a person who surrendered from Gongsun Zhan's side, and it is not worth much in itself.
But Yuyang City, which was originally blocked, was relieved, and after attacking for so long, all the useless work was done, and Yuan Shaoyan could not be angry.
"The lord Xu Shu and others really have a conspiracy, we still have to guard against the coastal zone, otherwise it will be bad if something like this happens." Xu You suggested.
Yuan Shao said: "What Ziyuan said is reasonable, then I am sending some soldiers and horses to Wen Chou, and the two of you will also go to the coast to supervise the army, you must not let the Donglai Navy make big trouble here, so as not to affect the entire Youzhou war situation, shorten the war, and cheapen Xu Ding." “
Now I don't talk to you.
This kind of tired and bitter, he doesn't like to do useless things.
Moreover, his main work is intelligence work, and he regards himself as important.
Xun Kan had no choice but to say, "Then I'll go." ”
This task seems to be bitter, but Xun Kan has another interpretation, here may be the easiest, don't look at the Donglai Navy making a lot of fun, it is not necessarily their main offensive direction.
Xu Ding has never shown up, but this time Tian Yu appeared in Yuyang, which actually illustrated a problem with the scriptures.
Xu Ding won, Gongsun Zhan lost, otherwise Xu Ding's land Tian Yu would not dare to enter.
Now that Tian Yu is here, Xu Ding should also appear, and Ju Yongguan, who has not heard any news, should have news this time.
Xu Ding must have led a large army south from Shanggu County, and the cavalry attacked, which was even sharper and could not be guarded against.
So he simply hid a bitter, headache and let Xu You think about it.
The day after Xun Kan went to the southern coast, sure enough, the news finally came out of Juyong Pass, and in a duel outside the pass, Gongsun Chan was defeated by Huang Zhong, and Bai Ma Yi was defeated by the Seventh Captain's Army.
Youzhou belonged to Xu Ding, and Gongsun Zhan himself was also incorporated by Xu Ding.
White Horse Yi was reorganized from the White Horse Army to join the Donglai Army to fight.
And completed the whole training at Juyongguan.
As the vanguard of Xu Ding, the White Horse Army went south to support the military capital and rescue his son Gongsun Xu and others.
General Yuan Shao, who attacked the capital of the army, took the lead to retreat to Changping, and Xu Ding entered the pass with a large army, and the entire Youzhou was suddenly shaken, and the news spread wildly to all parties.
