Chapter 128: The Siege
After everyone entered the hall, Gongsun Chan said: I don't know how many soldiers and horses the regent brought?
He said: This time, I brought 30,000 Wuhuan warriors, but there is no grain and grass, so this grain and grass will trouble General Gongsun.
Of course, Gongsun Zhan knew that Wuhuan would eat him and drink him.
Dao: Please don't be careful about the grain and grass, but Zhang Jie is running away now, and I have already sent someone out of the city to inquire.
As long as we find Zhang Jie's location, let's go and surround him, our two families have more than 50,000 horses, nearly half more than him. This time, we must beat Zhang Jie to the bottom.
He said: If you capture Zhang Jie's soldiers, please hand them over to me, and I will exchange them for my Wuhuan warriors.
Gongsun Chan said: What for warriors? Guan Jing was afraid that Gongsun Zhan would tell him that the 20,000 people were dead. Immediately rushed to the road: The lord is like this, Zhang Jie captured Wuhuan last time and sent 20,000 courage to Jizhou to mine, and his subordinates suggested that the soldiers who captured Zhang Jie in the regent should be exchanged.
Guan Jing blinked, Gongsun Zhan knew that the 20,000 people were dead. But he understood that this was Guan Jing's strategy to say that Wuhuan sent troops. Convenient: That's fine. If there are any captives, they will be handed over to you. Seeing that Gongsun Zhan was willing to give him the prisoner, he also said happily: Thank you to the general.
It didn't take long for scouts to report that Zhang Jie's army had withdrawn to the county seat of Liao.
Gongsun Zhan said: I didn't expect Zhang Jie that you also have today, and Lao Tzu will also surround you in the Liao team city.
Gongsun Zhan said: Regent, let's raise troops to surround Zhang Jie in the city now.
He said: Our Wuhuan warriors are really fortunate to have traveled so far, let's go again tomorrow. Let's rest for one night today, Gongsun Chan had no choice but to agree. And after the Wuhuan people entered the city, chickens and dogs jumped in the city. There were rebellious soldiers everywhere, and Gongsun Chan turned a blind eye to them. Tian Kai wanted to cry at home without tears, full of sighs! Sometimes he even hoped that Zhang Jie would quickly enter the city and destroy Wuhuan.
And that night, Zhang Jie, with hundreds of personal soldiers, and Xu Huang's 12,000 cavalry, took advantage of the night. Hurry up and rush to Wuhuan. And all this did not let Gongsun Chan and them find out.
Zhang Jie only brought ten days of military rations, so he had to speed up, Wuhuan Liucheng (northwest of Tianshan Town, Alu Korqin Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia) to Liaodong is more than 1,000 miles, and the road is not very easy to walk, fortunately, Zhang Jie's war horses are loaded with horse iron hooves, and there are few people who fall behind.
Zhang Jie's daily goal is to march 200 miles. This speed is not fast for cavalry, but the main reason is that the road is not easy to walk, and it is necessary to try to avoid letting the Wuhuan people find out that Zhang Jie is rushing to Wuhuan too early.
After waiting for two days, Gongsun Zhan came to the county seat of the Liao team with an army of 20,000 and 30,000 horses from Wuhuan. The county seat is not large, and the city walls are not very high. But it's much stronger than a camp. No matter how you say it, it's a city wall. There were 20,000 troops in the city, including 5,000 crossbowmen from Juyi.
Jia Xu asked the soldiers to rest in the city, there were not so many people standing on the city wall, and the Wuhuan people were not good at attacking the city. Jia Xu hoped that Gongsun Zhan would come to attack so as to consume his troops.
Gongsun Zhan stood under the city and shouted: Zhang Zhuo is here to answer.
After calling for a long time, I saw a soldier standing on the city wall and said: Gongsun traitor, listen, my lord has been on the table of the Son of Heaven and named you the number one traitor of the Han Dynasty, and all the soldiers under the city also listen, Gongsun traitor betrayed the country, ceded Shanggu, Yuyang to Wuhuan Hu people, and invited Hu people to kill their compatriots, you are also Han people, think about it. My father-in-law said that the Gongsun traitor is not worthy to meet him, so you should go and recognize your Wuhuan godfather! All the soldiers looked at Gongsun Chan and waited for him to speak.
Gongsun Zhan almost didn't vomit blood when he heard this, his cession of Shanggu was just a rhetoric for Wuhuan to send troops, and Shanggu was Zhang Jie's territory. And it won't really be lost. But this can be said clearly.
Guan Jing looked embarrassed. Dao: The lord will attack the city directly, don't bother with words. Gongsun Chan then ordered trees to be cut down, ladders were made, and catapults were prepared to attack the city.
After a busy day, after the ladder was ready, the next morning Gongsun Chan began to attack the city.
Jia Xu only let Ju Yi's 2,000 strong crossbowmen plus Zhang He's 2,000 soldiers go to the city wall. As soon as the siege drum sounded, Gongsun Zhan's soldiers began to attack the city, and as soon as they arrived at the city, they let Ju Yi's crossbow shoot hundreds of people, and Zhang He immediately told Ju Yi to stop shooting.
Dao: General Ju, if you shoot like this, Gongsun Chan will not dare to attack the city, and it may be bad to find that the lord is not in the city. So you have to get them up to the walls and seduce them to siege the city.
Ju Yidao: Alas, I forgot for a while, these little rabbits. It's okay to practice archery every day, I forgot to mention it just now. Stop! Stop! Stop! All down.
Gongsun Zhan was also taken aback, this Zhang Jie's crossbowmen also shot too accurately, right? How many people do you have to die to get up the walls?
Zou Dan said: The lord is not right, Zhang Jie has more than 30,000 people, if he is guarding the city and has such a powerful crossbow soldier, not to mention that our more than 20,000 people may not be able to attack even if there are 100,000 people?
The Wuhuan people are unwilling to attack the city, if we go to attack the city, how can we attack the city defended by 20,000 people and more than 30,000 people?
Gongsun Zhan then thought, yes, Zhang Jie has more people than mine, how can this be attacked?
But the Wuhuan people were unwilling to attack the city. What to do? Guan Jingdao: Why don't we also learn from Zhang Jie to block the four gates, and then send troops to guard the four gates? Don't let them out of town? Starved Zhang Jie to death.
He can't have too much grain and grass when he came from Youzhou.
Gongsun Zan said: Do you think Zhang Jie will not be in the city?
Guan Jingdao: The soldiers have been here from morning to night, and they haven't seen Zhang Mingcheng? At this moment, "Zhang Jie" appeared on the city wall, but unfortunately this Zhang Jie is fake, he looks a little similar to Zhang Jie. The height is about the same, Jia Xu asked him to wear Zhang Jie's clothes, and he looked about the same when he stood far away from the city.
Fake Zhang Jie walked around the city wall, as if he was talking to the soldiers on the city wall. At that moment, Zhang He knelt down on one knee and saluted Zhang Jie, and Gongsun Zhan finally believed that it was Zhang Jie. Zhang Jie slowly walked away again.
Zhang He deliberately stood on the city wall so that Gongsun Zhan could see him clearly with his glasses. Zhang Hegong and Sun Zan are recognized. Zhang Jie took him with him when he was waiting for Dong, and it can be said that Zhang He is Zhang Jie's first general. It's the governor of Youzhou again, who else can make Zhang He kneel on one knee if it's not Zhang Jie?
Gongsun Zan thought that if Zhang Jie could be trapped in the Liao team city, as long as Zhang Jie died, then Jizhou Youzhou would not be in chaos? When the time comes, I will go south to sweep the north of the river.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Zan said excitedly: Zou Dan, you immediately let people block the four doors with stones. To be more, I can't let Zhang Jie easily move away from the inside, I want to starve Zhang Jie to death. Promise!
It's a pity that Zhang Jie has already gone to Wuhuan Liucheng, he wants to learn from Zhang Jie, and it is impossible to besiege the city and trap the opponent. Gongsun Chan is sometimes like a gambler, and he really thinks that Zhang Jie will also defend the city. Although he had doubts in his heart, he still wanted to believe that Zhang Jie was in the city.
