Chapter 1050: Zhongshan is broken, and the soldiers are approaching Yecheng
On the city wall, after all, the Jizhou army has an advantage in numbers, and this soldier was quickly overwhelmed by the Jizhou army, but on the battlefield, the momentum and strength shown by the Youzhou army made many Jizhou soldiers begin to retreat, they are also people, and when they are in danger, they will choose to retreat.
The Jizhou army was frightened, and the situation on the battlefield was extremely favorable to the Youzhou army.
After the sound of "squeak", the city gates, which had been silent for many days, slowly opened.
The Youzhou army outside the city took the opportunity to rush in.
After the Youzhou army entered the city, the first target of the attack was the army, Guo Jia knew that only by firmly controlling the army in his hands could he say that he had occupied the city, and although these soldiers of the Jizhou army were temporarily frightened, they were still the strength that Jizhou relied on.
The people in the city were panicked when they learned that the Youzhou army had entered the city, Jizhou was in a hostile position with the Youzhou army at this time, and in the face of the enemy, it was not impossible for them to resort to more cruel means.
However, to the surprise of the people, after the Youzhou army entered the city, in addition to chasing and killing the Jizhou army, it did not commit any crimes against the people in the city.
This time, the Youzhou army adopted the siege of Lunu from all sides, so that more Jizhou troops were lost in the city, which is also Guo Jia saw the situation of the defenders clearly, and in the face of Jizhou's elite soldiers, Guo Jia would definitely not do so.
Guo Yuan saw that the general trend had gone, and led his guards to flee in embarrassment in the direction of Hejian, if he chose to return to Wei County at this time, it was no different from sending him to death, the importance of Zhongshan was self-evident, if Zhongshan was defeated, the Youzhou army would be able to unite with Julu County, so as to form a deterrent to Wei County.
There are still 10,000 troops in Hejian City, Guo Yuan has a good personal relationship with Gao Ran, if he can get Gao Ran's support, he will not have the opportunity to make contributions.
After defeating the Zhongshan Kingdom, Guo Jia left 5,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, and led the rest of the soldiers and horses to rush in the direction of Wei County.
In troubled times, the people fear the army the most, their own army can bring them protection, but the enemy's army can bring them great damage.
After Zhongshan was breached, the high-level of Jizhou felt deeply uneasy, and the Youzhou army suddenly showed a powerful scene, which made them a little difficult to adapt to for a while, it was precisely because of the containment of Zhongshan that Yuan Shao had a little confidence, after Zhongshan was broken, the Youzhou army had no worries for the time being.
What kind of goods are the troops left in Jizhou now, the top level of Jizhou is very clear, in terms of the ability to fight in the field, even if the Jizhou army is all gathered in one place, I am afraid it is not the opponent of the Youzhou army, not to mention others, just the wolf cavalry led by Zhang Liao is worth tens of thousands of troops.
On the battlefield in the wild, when encountering the wolf rider under Zhang Liao, how many generals dared to guarantee that they would be able to retreat.
Guo Jia led a large army to Yecheng, Yecheng was no longer as peaceful as it used to be, and even ordinary people talked about the war of the Jizhou army the most at this time.
Guo Tu said: "The Youzhou army is approaching the city, Yecheng has reached a critical moment, and he should quickly send someone to inform the lord." ”
At this time, the trial did not have the mind to refute with Guo Tu, if Yecheng was lost, it would mean that everything in front of him would be lost, no matter how powerful the family was, in the face of a strong army, it would only be destroyed, he did not think that the Youzhou army would show mercy to the family in Jizhou.
"Lord Guo, now there are tens of thousands of Jizhou troops led by General Gao Ran in Hejian, if General Gao Ran can take Zhongshan Kingdom from the hands of the Youzhou Army, our army has the possibility of victory." Judge the way.
When the other strategists in the field heard this, their faces were contemplative, the speed of the Youzhou army's attack on Jizhou can be described as very fast, but the troops came to Yecheng in the rest of the month, and Zhongshan Kingdom has also become the retreat of the Youzhou army.
Yuan Shang's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I don't know if you think it can be done?" ”
Guo Tu shook his head secretly, at this point, Yuan Shang and Yuan Shao's personalities are somewhat similar, that is, they hesitate when they encounter big things, in terms of dealing with small things, such a character may not have much flip, if there is a big event related to the overall situation, a little hesitation will bring fatal damage to oneself.
"The third prince, in my opinion, should ask the lord for help." Guo Tu reiterated.
After being silent for a long time, they nodded, and at this time they couldn't afford to gamble, "I guess the lord already knows about the war in Jizhou." ”
Outside Huguan, Yuan Shao has already strengthened his mind to withdraw the army, after getting the news that Zhongshan Guowei and the state army were broken, he was unable to sit still, plus Feng Ji, Xu You and others persuaded on the side, no matter how beautiful the vision described by Cao Cao, he was already determined to withdraw the army.
Feng Ji and the others' families are all in Jizhou, and at the moment of danger, they are more concerned about the interests of the family, once Jizhou falls, it means that their years of hard work will be lost.
Jizhou has a vital position in Yuan Shao's heart, the army can be retrained if it is gone, and if Jizhou is lost, it will be the most deadly.
Cao Cao said: "If the army was withdrawn at this time, it can be known how turbulent it will bring to the army, and now on the battlefield in Hedong, the Jingzhou army has made great achievements, as long as Chang'an is taken by the trend, then the state will be shaken, if the original retreat, then all the previous efforts will be in vain." ”
Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "Meng De is still like this, Jizhou is the foundation of Benhou. ”
Cao Cao said: "Do you think that Ben Hou will be stable under his rule, Zang Ba led the troops to break through Xiapi, if Pengcheng is broken, then Yanzhou will be in danger, even so, Ben Hou still leads the troops in Huguan." ”
"Meng De, don't think that Ben Hou doesn't know your plans, it is Meng De who will benefit the most after breaking through and merging the state, and Ben Hou wants to seize Youzhou, but he needs to pay a greater price."
Cao Cao's face was a little ugly when he heard this, and his gaze at Yuan Shao was also a little pity, as he said before, once the princes' coalition army retreated from Huguan, the first to bear the brunt must be Jizhou, from the Youzhou army's dispatch of troops, it can be seen that one or two, the blame can only be blamed for the poor strength of the soldiers under Yuan Shao's command, and they failed to resist the attack of the Youzhou army, and even Yuan Shao himself will Jizhou's defenders do not have the slightest confidence.
At that time, even if Yuan Shao cried and shouted, no one would come to the rescue, and the princes' coalition army paid a lot of price for attacking and merging the state, and at the same time completely offended Lu Bu, for the sake of interests, Jiangdong and Yanzhou may temporarily restore the previous relationship with the state, but Jizhou cannot.
