843 Yijing Offensive and Defensive Battle (3)

"Rush me!" The horn was blown, the drums shook the sky, and a group of Yuan soldiers killed at the east gate.

"Jing Yan stepped forward! Suppress! The ladder is tight! The first to climb the city wall, reward! ”

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, countless Yuan troops, risking the bows and arrows of Yi Jingcheng, Jing Yan is slowly moving forward, and the archers and crossbowmen on it have shot back.

"Raise your shield! Raise your shield! Tian Yu shouted loudly, and immediately a pair of shield soldiers stepped forward and protected the crossbowmen, and Yuan Jun's arrows smashed on the iron shield, clanging.

"Drums! Beat the drums! Tian Yu, who was standing on the city wall, roared loudly, at this moment, stratagems and the like can only be, and it has to be people!

"Meet the enemy with me!" Tian Yu took the lead, and led a group of elite soldiers from the head of Yijing City to rush over, if those Yuan troops attacked the city wall, the Yuan army would definitely be greatly boosted.

When the time comes, Yi Jingcheng will really not be able to hold it!

"Shoot the arrows! Give me arrows! ”

It was really like rain of arrows, whistling endlessly, if other armies suffered such a blow, they would have been defeated a long time ago, but Yuan Jun deserved to be Yuan Jun, and rushed under the city wall under the rain of arrows.

"Knock knock!" The drums are getting louder and louder.

"Soldiers!" Tian Yu shouted in a deep voice, "The survival of Yi Jing, the survival of the people in the city, is in your hands!" Spear team, meet the enemy with me! ”

Tian Yu's words were like a thunderbolt that woke up many elite soldiers in Yijing City, and he only remembered Tian Yu's words in his heart! exchange your own death for the life of your loved ones!

One after another, Youzhou soldiers, on this battlefield like a meat grinder, consumed their lives.

"Now that General Zhao is outside, there are no 10,000 enemies in the city, General Gao, I hope to be able to help." Tian Yu was anxious, and pleaded with one of the generals beside him.

"Good!" Gao Zhi nodded

"Generals!" Turning to the soldiers behind him, he said, "Now the situation is compelling!" We should fight first, do not break the well, and fight to the death without retreating! ”

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!" The whole army responded.

"Let's go!" Gao Zhi stepped on a white horse and led the army out of the city gate.

The general of the Yuan army looked carefully from a distance, first for a while, and then immediately came to his senses, and immediately shouted, "Hold the well!" ”

The battlefield is so noisy, how can it be heard? The guards of Yuan Jun on the left and right saw that they couldn't, so they had to go to convey his orders.

But after all, he was a step slower, and Gao Zhi over there had already taken eight hundred elite soldiers with fire-burning things to kill out of the city gate.

Gao Zhi, who took the lead, waved the silver spear, the white light flashed, no one was the enemy of his move, invincible, no one could stop him.

However, there were many Yuan troops nearby, and they rushed to the city gate behind Gao Zhi.

Gao Zhi shouted, "Soldiers! Victory or defeat in one fell swoop! Charge! ”

"Charge! Charge! Seeing that Gao Zhi was so heroic, the morale of the eight hundred soldiers was like a rainbow, and they suppressed the Yuan army for a while, and slowly moved towards those wells.

Tian Yu in the city saw that Gao Zhi had approached the first well, and immediately shouted, "Beat the drum!" Cheer on General Gao! ”

The Yi Jing soldier who was beating the drum held his breath and smashed the drum surface to death, and the drum beat suddenly rose a few points.

Gao Zhi took the lead, led everyone to take the thing that ignited the fire, approached Yuan Jun's well, lit a blazing fire, and Yuan Jun hurriedly surrounded him, but he couldn't think of Gao Zhi's strong martial arts, it was really a flock of sheep and tigers, and he was killed for a while.

The well lit by Gao Zhi was crumbling, and from time to time Yuan Jun's archers fell from above, fell to the ground and died, and stepped into flesh.

After all the wells near the city wall were burned, Gao Zhi led the remnants of the soldiers and horses to slowly retreat into Yijing City, on the other hand, the morale of the Yuan army plummeted, not only did not have the wells, but also those ladders were burned, and the Yuan army that went up was killed by the elite soldiers defending the city.

In desperation, Yuan Jun could only mingle and confront each other again.

And this confrontation lasted for a month.

During this period, Yuan Shao's generals Han Meng, Xian Yufu and Wuhuan Qiaowang's three-way army, and Gongsun Zhan's reinforcements, launched a major battle in the Baoqiu River, Gongsun Zhan's reinforcements were defeated, and they were beheaded more than 10,000 levels, and they were unable to go north to rescue.

"Quickly order the surrounding defenders to come to help!" Gongsun Zhan, who heard the news, was a little panicked.

"Yuan Shaozhong surrounded Yijing with more than 100,000 people. The general's headquarters is only 40,000 or 50,000, and the people and horses in Youbeiping are only 8,000, so it is really difficult to resist. The general should be patient, and he still has to wait for the Black Mountain army and horses to come before he can break the enemy. Tian Yu had no choice but to explain carefully on the side and comfort Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Zhan knew that this was to quench his thirst, but the situation forced him to do it, so he had to agree.

In fact, these enemies of Gongsun Chan were there before Gongsun Chan killed Liu Yu.

If Gongsun Chan had a little foresight and a little bit of vertical and horizontal cooperation, he would not have let these people unite together to deal with him.

But Gongsun Chan didn't have such a mind, so he just let these people fight together.

And the most important glue for these people is Liu Yu, who was highly respected before.

Xian Yufu is Liu Yu's general, and it is natural to avenge Liu Yu.

Liu Yu's eldest son, Liu He, was in Yuan Shao when Liu Yu was killed, which just gave Yuan Shao an excuse to take the opportunity to send troops to eliminate Gongsun Zan and occupy Youzhou.

And Wuhuan and Xianbei people have only recognized Liu Yu since Liu Yu became the pastor of Youzhou, and Gongsun Chan has been thinking about how to eliminate Wuhuan Xianbei people, and now that Liu Yu is dead, these Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes in Youzhou are very nervous, and it is understandable to find someone to jointly destroy Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Chan is indeed not a strategist, because of the ballad "Yan Nan Hang, Zhao Beiji, the central is not as big as a stone, only in this can escape the world" ballad, he moved over.

You can take a look at the location of Yijing, if you count it according to the area of the thirteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it still belongs to Yuan Shao's Jizhou, but it belongs to the northernmost part of Jizhou and the southernmost part of Youzhou.

To the south and north, Yijing is a large plain, and there is no danger to defend at all.

In such a place, once it is surrounded, it is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and there is no chance to run.

However, Gongsun Chan still has an advantage, that is, he can fight to the death and fight tough battles.

When Liu Yu crusaded against him before, he guarded a small city next to Jicheng, took a few hundred people, and defeated Liu Yu's army of 100,000 people.

This time he retreated to Yijing, and Gongsun Zhan once again fought a stalemate with Yuan Shao and others.

Gongsun Chan opened a tuntian in Yijing and achieved self-sufficiency. And Yuan Shao on the other side will suffer a lot.

It was okay at first, but the supply of tens of thousands of troops is also a problem, and it may not be obvious for the time being, but after a long time, it must be easy to have problems.

We know that it was Cao Cao who opened up the precedent of Tuntian during the Three Kingdoms era, and it was precisely because of Tuntian that Cao Cao was able to have more grain and grass than other princes, and finally pacified the north in one fell swoop. However, Gongsun Zhan's Tuntian this time was earlier than Cao Cao. In the years of war, the outcome of a war is often not determined by whose army is stronger, but by who has more food and grass and who has better logistics.

During the confrontation between Yuan Shao, Liu He, and Xian Yufu's army and Gongsun Zhan, several Daijun under Youzhou, Guangyang, Shanggu, and Youbeiping all killed the officials appointed by Gongsun Zhan, and took refuge in Xian Yufu and Liu He.

If you look at the map of Youzhou, the easternmost counties of Youzhou have long been occupied by Gongsun Du, and now the remaining counties, only Liu Bei's hometown Zhuo County has been returned to Gongsun Zhan, and most of Youzhou has been occupied by Yuan Shao's forces at this time.

And Gongsun Chan was also completely surrounded by Yuan Shao's forces.
