Chapter 131: The Fire Is Ruthless
Gongsun Chan was ambitious, and was instigated by Yuan Shao to lead the army to attack Jizhou, at this time Liu Bei's three brothers in the plain as their subordinates also accompanied the expedition, in fact, Gongsun Chan's imprisonment of Liu Yu, including Liu Bei in Jizhou instigated by Yuan Shao this time, did not approve of it, and even had arguments, just as a subordinate, and had a very good relationship with Gongsun Zhan! More importantly, the chaos in the world is also extremely beneficial to him, who has always been ambitious; Therefore, they sent their troops as they pleased.
As one of the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, Gongsun Zhan still has a very good eye for people, and he admires the three brothers of Liu Bei very much, especially the two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, in his eyes, I am afraid that there is no one in the world except Lu Bu and Liu Yi! In this battle, he also took these three people as the vanguard, and he was really invincible, and he played a triumphant song all the way until the soldiers came to Yecheng.
After Han Fu sent Guan Chun and Zhang He to ask Liu Yi for help, he quickly got Liu Yi's response, and he also strengthened his determination to defend Yecheng, although his soldiers were not as strong as Liu Yi and Cao Cao, they were more than enough to defend the city; This person is incapable of governing the army, but he has made great achievements in governance, Yecheng has been operated by him for many years, and it can be said that he is rich in the world, otherwise Yuan Shao would not be coveted. Gongsun Zhan didn't have a very good way to face Han Fu who couldn't shrink from the turtle, it's not that he hadn't tried to attack, but Yecheng City was high and deep, how could it be able to go down in a short time? He had to find another way, wanting to lure Han Fu's general Ju Yi to surrender, but unexpectedly, this matter was just a little eyebrow-raising, but the news that Liu Yi had sent troops to attack his territory had already come out, and he couldn't help but be angry!
He sent troops almost out of the nest this time, intending to pacify Jizhou in a short period of time, and he is not without fear of Liu Yi who is close to the left, but in his eyes, Liu Yi is certainly brave and fierce, and his subordinates are also tigers and wolves, after all, the overall strength is still below him, and he has no grudges with him, so he should be able to see the situation clearly! Although he is out, but there are still more than 10,000 elites stationed in Beiping, if Liu Yi dares to make a move, he will return to the army to sweep it, he does not believe that Liu Yi can fight against him under the disparity between the outnumbered, how do you know that Liu Yi is unscrupulous to take advantage of his emptiness to attack, how can he not be angry?
At that moment, the army immediately returned to help, and in his opinion, if this battle can be won, then the entire territory of Youzhou will be under his command, and it will not be too late to make a comeback when the time comes! Han Fu is just a well-established person, if there is no Liu Yi to help him this time, I am afraid that he will ask him to surrender, as long as he defeats Liu Yi, this person is not worried. In this judgment, he is the same as Liu Yi, these two people are the two largest forces in Youzhou, and the rest can't fight against them at all, the duel between the two will start sooner or later, it can be said that Gongsun Chan is full of confidence when he returns to the army, after all, his subordinates are far superior to Yan County, and now the morale of the reinforcements is also high, and he can win.
He marched all the way back to his heart like an arrow, and the journey was extremely fast, and it was nearly dusk when he arrived ten miles away from Motianling a few days later, and he was quite familiar with the terrain ahead, although he didn't know that Liu Yi was ambushed here, but it was common sense for the army not to be in danger, and Gongsun Zhan had been in battle for a long time, how could he not know? It is prudent to press the camp for the time being, and then pass at full speed in the morning of the next day, so that it is prudent to make such an arrangement, and at the same time send light horses to the valley to investigate, so that nothing goes wrong!
At this time, the envoy from Beiping arrived as scheduled, saying that Liu Yi led the army to attack Beiping very urgently, and his subordinates were not afraid of death, and Gongsun Yue asked his brother to return to help quickly. This is the credit of Gan Ning and Zhao Yun, in order to make Gongsun Yue feel the crisis, they did not hesitate to casualties to launch a fierce attack on Beiping City, Gongsun Yue had to immediately send a messenger for help, and the envoy's exit from the city and the movement are in the hands of the two, and the dangers he encountered along the way are just the careful arrangement of the two, and when this person comes out, he will immediately take a siege strategy and no longer attack.
"Brother, the terrain ahead is dangerous, wouldn't it be dangerous to pass through at night in case of an enemy ambush? Just now, my brother ordered the whole army to go down, why did it change at this time? Gongsun Zhan thought for a moment after receiving the report, and after the light horse came back to tell that there was no abnormality in the valley, he decided to pass through this valley tonight and speed up the return of reinforcements, otherwise he would regret it if Liu Yi really captured Beiping.
"Xuande, my brother Gongsun Yue has a messenger coming, saying that Liu Yi personally led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to attack Beiping, and he saw Liu Langsheng and the city scolding with his own eyes, let me quickly return to help! I have also sent light horsemen to the valley to investigate, and the report is not unusual. Out of this Qingyun Valley tonight, it is only a hundred miles away from Jixian County, and it is only two hours to attack with a cavalry army, Liu Langsheng dares to take advantage of the void this time, I will make him regret it for life! Gongsun Chan said fiercely.
"In this case, if I don't stay at that time, the little brother will go to prepare immediately!" Liu Bei had a lot of contact with Liu Yi in the coalition army, and knew that this person was not only brave and good at commanding the army, but he was also very cautious about fighting him this time, but now that Liu Yi is already under the city of Beiping, there is no reason to rush here, he is a county, and tens of thousands of troops are already the limit, so there is no hindrance!
"Okay, give an order to the whole army, quit the hard work, and go straight to Jixian through the Sky Ridge tonight, I will have a heavy reward after this battle!" Gongsun Zhan saw that Liu Bei had no opinion, so he immediately ordered.
After sunset, the moon and stars are scarce at night, and Gongsun Zhan's 60,000 army lights torches, like a fire dragon winding through the valley, which looks extremely spectacular! The total length of this skyscraper ridge is only more than ten miles, and it is only half an hour to march at full speed, and the pioneer has already arrived at the valley mouth, this time Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei brothers are taking the lead, and seeing that Gukou is looking at Gongsun Zhan, he can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the mutation rose sharply, and an arrow burst into the sky, followed by countless torches erected on the mountains on both sides, and the sound of shouting and killing suddenly sounded, breaking the silence of the night! The rocks on both sides of the valley mouth poured down, covering most of the valley mouth, and at the same time, countless huge fireballs on the mountains on both sides rolled down the slope, directly attacking the Gongsun Zhan army column, at this time it was autumn, the weather was dry and dry, those fireballs were made of grass and branches of grass and leaves, and then poured with fire oil, and the burning momentum was extremely vigorous.
"It's not good, I'm in a plan, I'll give an order immediately, immediately send someone to clean up the rocks at the mouth of the valley, and the foot soldiers will kill me on the mountains on both sides, quickly!" After all, Gongsun Zhan has experienced a hundred battles, and although he is in a critical situation, he still reacted immediately, but at this time, how could the military orders be quickly executed under the chaos of Sergeant Gu? The soldiers are panicked at this time to avoid the fireball down the slope, many people were devoured by the fire under the siltation, the sound of wild shouting is chilling, and the fireball on the hillside on both sides is endless, even more on the rocket falling rocks, the valley is narrow, there is no escape under the soldiers trampling on each other, countless casualties!
After recovering a little from the chaos, they all risked their lives to kill the mountains on both sides, and the tragic situation of their comrades being burned to death made them prefer to be killed by rockets and falling rocks rather than wait for death in place! But there are very few people who can rush up in the face of fireballs and falling rocks all over the mountain, not to mention that waiting for them are the elite soldiers of the old fourth battalion under Liu Yi, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to storm the mountain! And the soldiers sent by Gongsun Chan to clean up the valley mouth were also taken care of by the soldiers of the Xuanwu Battalion, and the rain of arrows poured down, and seven or eight out of ten fell on the road before they arrived! Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have peerless martial arts at this time, they are useless, they are only more flexible than others when dodging rockets and falling rocks!
By the time Gongsun Chan fought hard and countless soldiers took their lives, he barely moved part of the rocks at the mouth of the valley to reveal a feasible road, and the team had already suffered heavy casualties!
"Pass the order, the whole army will attack, kill the remnants of the valley, send a letter to the lord and Captain Li, and attack with all your might!" Seeing that most of the enemy had suffered casualties, Xi Zhicai and Zhang Hu had completely fallen into confusion and did not hesitate to issue an order to attack with all their might, and nearly 10,000 soldiers of the second battalion of the Qinglong and White Tiger pounced on the enemy like tigers in the mountains under the leadership of Xu Huang Guanhai.
When Gongsun Zhan and Liu Bei's brothers rushed out of the valley desperately, there were only more than a thousand white horses around them, and everyone was black, and they were extremely embarrassed.
"Liu Langsheng! My grandson Chan and you swear not to share the sun and the moon! Gongsun Chan shouted fiercely! The tragic situation of the casualties of the soldiers made his heart bleed, this is the capital he has accumulated for many years to conquer the world, but he did not expect that he would be destroyed here by Liu Yi if he was not careful!
"Hahahaha, the coalition is goodbye, it's been a few months, Brother Bogui is fine!" With a hearty laugh, a group of people on the opposite side drove up, and the leader held the blood dragon halberd, and sat down on the dark cloud covered with snow gods, but the smile on his face made Gongsun Chan grit his steel teeth at this time, but it was not Liu Yi and Liu Langsheng?
