Chapter 257: Occupy Jixian County
Liu Yu's army blocked the way of Gongsun Yue's army.
The two armies began to confront each other.
The standoff lasted two hours.
Liu Yu did not attack, but arranged a military formation in front.
And Gongsun Yue's army was nervous, they knew that they had to rush over, but there was no one who could call the shots at this time.
Gongsun Yue left in a hurry, without any explanation, and he didn't expect someone to block the way.
As a result, the infantry in the rear did not know how to respond.
However, they finally couldn't help it.
Because, once Jixian County is captured, they are in danger of a complete collapse.
"Kill."
"Rush over and support Jixian."
Gongsun Yue's army took the initiative to kill Liu Yu.
Liu Yu also wanted Zhang Ming to destroy Jixian County, and even he could profit from it, so Liu Yu asked people to block them.
The two armies began to fight.
After all, Gongsun Zhan's army is relatively strong, although the number of troops is a little less, but at this time, the morale is high, and they have the determination to kill.
The impact of death, without the leadership of the main general, the parties cannot coordinate.
The two armies began to fight.
The battlefield of the melee is chaotic.
The two sides fought fiercely, and the soldiers on Gongsun Zhan's side were relatively strong, while Liu Yu's side was led by a general.
The two armies were entangled in each other, as if they were going to kill the sky in the dark.
Xu Rong has been paying attention to the situation here, so he asked people to pretend that the scouts from Gongsun Yue's side sent the news back to the county town of Beiping on the right.
It was only a message, not an order, so the guards in the city did not suspect it.
The defenders were worried, and the army was blocked by Liu Yu.
If the reinforcements can't arrive, then Jixian County will inevitably fall, and their foundation in Youzhou will be completely broken.
The general hesitated for a long time and decided to send troops, leaving behind 2,000 men and personally leading 3,000 men to support.
But two hours after the guard left the city, Xu Rong suddenly killed.
Directly force the defenders in the city to open the city gates.
There were only 2,000 people inside, and there was no commander yet, so they didn't dare to intercept it.
Directly opened the city gate, and Xu Rong easily occupied Youbeiping.
Right Beiping County is the place where Gongsun Chan started his home, which is very significant.
The guard was very regretful, and when he found out, he did not dare to turn back, and it was useless to turn back with their three thousand men.
So, he led the army to rush to support and attack Liu Yu.
When they arrived, there were only 3,000 people, so frightened that Liu Yu took the initiative to withdraw his troops and get out of the way.
Although Liu Yu got out of the way, he also killed and wounded thousands of Gongsun Zhan's troops, blocking them for several hours.
Right Beiping County fell.
Gongsun Yue didn't know it yet, and Gongsun Zhan, who was far away in Qingzhou and besieged Linzi City, didn't know either.
Zhang Ming's side ran for another day and a half, and finally killed the city.
"Rush, rush straight in."
Zhang Ming and they rode fast all the way, and they only took a short break along the way.
In order to rush for time.
What time to rush?
The gate of Jixian County will not be closed, because the war is far from burning to Jixian County, as a place of governance, there are many people in this city, and it cannot be closed casually.
Zhang Ming galloped all the way, and in the afternoon, he finally arrived in Jixian County.
The defenders at the head of the city saw a cavalry coming from a distance, but they did not expect it to be the enemy.
Zhang Ming took the lead, and when the army was in front, the army at the head of the city noticed that something was wrong.
"It's the enemy."
"Close the gates."
The city gate slowly closed, and Zhang Ming rushed ahead, already far away from the army.
"Kill."
Killed under the city, Zhang Ming saw that most of the city gates had been closed.
Raise your hand and grab the bow and crossbow on your horse's back.
"Huh~"
Puff~
"Ding~ System prompt: Congratulations to the host for killing an enemy, rewarding a box of flavor, 200 copper coins, and merit value +1."
A soldier was killed and stuck inside the gate.
Zhang Ming took advantage of the situation to kill him, rushed in with a horse, and directly slammed open the city gate.
The city gate failed to close, and there were more than a dozen soldiers inside closing the door, and Zhang Ming immediately attacked with spears.
One shot left and right knocked two soldiers flying.
Then they killed the others, these soldiers who closed the city gate had no weapons, their weapons were thrown to the ground, the city gate was important, and they couldn't close it with their weapons.
Zhang Ming killed several people in a row.
"Ding~ System Prompt: Congratulations to the host for killing an enemy, rewarding a set of seven wolf suits, 200 copper coins, and merit points +1."
Inside the city gate cave, those defenders saw that Zhang Ming actually came in and hurriedly rushed over.
"Big brother, I'm here."
At this moment, Guan Yu killed, and the two of them went to the city gate hole.
Guan Yu's broadsword swept through thousands of troops and directly killed a few people.
Zhang Ming also blocked one side alone, killing the enemy continuously.
Finally, the army arrived, and immediately opened the gates, and the army entered.
There were only 3,000 defenders in the city, and in less than an hour, they took control of the city.
"Jixian County is broken."
Zhang Ming made an impassioned announcement in the state governor's mansion.
All the soldiers were excited, and they all began to cheer.
Zhang Ming ordered the city gates to be closed and the officials of Gongsun Chan were arrested.
In other words, the fall of Jixian County will have a great impact on Gongsun Zhan's forces, because there are many of their senior officials here, and there are also a large number of officials' families.
These have now become Zhang Ming's captives.
Gongsun Yue arrived for a few hours, and when he arrived, he saw that the flag at the head of the city had changed.
Falling to the ground, Gongsun Yue cried bitterly, all because he transferred the army from Jixian County without authorization.
If Jixian is occupied, then Youbeiping will not be able to keep it.
At this time, Gongsun Yue didn't know that Youbeiping County had also fallen, and even if it hadn't fallen, it wouldn't last long.
"Gongsun Yue, obviously Gongsun Chan has already lost."
Zhang Ming saw Gongsun Yue crying on the ground at the top of the city and shouted.
"Zhang Ming, we still have Qingzhou, and Jizhou, and even the state has to listen to my eldest brother."
Yes, at the peak, Gongsun Chan controlled Qingyou and followed Jizhou, but he was afraid that he would never reach this peak.
At least Youzhou will have a surname seal in the future.
"Hahaha, a little Linzi has made Gongsun Chan mess up, now Youbeiping and this Jixian County are all mine, half of your strength is wasted, what else do you use to fight me."
Gongsun Yue had nothing to say, and this time they lost.
Gongsun Yue hurriedly sent someone to summon the interrogation, and at the same time, he was unwilling to leave, so he led people to guard here.
After another day, their reinforcements finally came, but Gongsun Yue saw that there were more than 10,000 troops left, and he also knew that Youbeiping had also fallen.
Gongsun Yue knew that the general trend was gone, and they couldn't defeat Zhang Ming with their army.
Zhang Ming: Their army is strong.
Gongsun Yue did not continue to besiege Jixian, with their army of more than 20,000 to deal with Zhang Ming is too dangerous, not only can they not be besieged, but they will also be attacked by Zhang Ming.
Gongsun Yue is also considered to be an acquaintance, and he directly led people south, and he wanted to defend Fanyang County in the south.
This Fanyang County is connected to Jizhou, and a little south is Qingzhou, which is the territory of Gongsun Zhan.
Gongsun Yue sent someone to summon Gongsun Zhan.
