12,000 soldiers and horses marched from Le'an to Beihai, Zhang Liao is now the Qingzhou pastor appointed by the imperial court, and Bao Xin also came at his invitation, and this rescue battle was naturally commanded by him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He didn't use any tactics, just a quick advance, a lightning attack.

It's not that he underestimates the enemy, but that he has inquired from Tai Shici about the situation of the Guanhai Yellow Turban Army, no more than 15,000 people, and Kong Rong still has 5,000 soldiers and horses in Duchang City, in the case of superior strength and combat effectiveness, any other tactics are redundant, and lightning push is the best tactic!

It was about 300 miles from their location to Duchang in Beihai, and it took about five days to march normally, but Zhang Liao compressed this time to three days.

Before leaving, Zhang Liao asked the soldiers to make steamed buns and cakes from all the grain and grass they had captured in the past few days, and then left 3,000 soldiers and horses to escort the baggage and grain and grass to march slowly, and the remaining 8,000 soldiers marched at full speed.

Generally speaking, the slower the long-distance march, the most likely it is to cause fatigue and demoralize the soldiers, so Zhang Liao asked the soldiers to speed up their pace, day and night, although tired, but they have always maintained a tense rhythm, morale is not reduced, and when they are close to the border of Beihai State, they will rest for a night, recover, and their spirits are high, and they are just fighting.

Zhang Liao calculated the time very accurately, he and Guan Yu, Tai Shici with hundreds of cavalry in front of the road, Liu Bei, Bao Xin, Zhang Fei with a large army followed closely, the march was very smooth, three days later at dusk, eight thousand soldiers and horses arrived at the western border of Beihai State, and then the army took advantage of the night to rest, ready to fight.

That night, Zhang Liao sent scouts to Duchang to inquire about the news.

The governance of Beihai Country is located in the drama county, located in the west of Beihai country, Kong Rong just arrived in Beihai country to take office and fought with the Yellow Turban, defeated by Zhang Rao's hand, retreated to Zhuxu County in the southwest, built a city and guarded, Zhuxu County as a governance place, this time Guan Hai brought thousands of yellow scarves from Donglai County to kill, wreaking havoc in Beihai counties, Kong Rong moved his troops to the east, with 5,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Duchang, did not want to lose a battle with Guan Hai, had to retreat to Duchang City, surrounded by Guan Hai.

After Guan Hai besieged Duchang, while attacking the city to force Kong Rong, he divided his troops to plunder the counties, but Kong Rong was powerless to stop it. I have to say that Kong Rong did a good job in the cultural governance and education of Beihai State, but he did not understand the art of war at all, was unable to restrain the thieves, and was repeatedly defeated.

When it was almost dawn, Kong Rong woke up in the backyard of the county government, dressed neatly, and came to the front office, where Liu Xian, Gongcao Sun Shao, Wang Xuan, the chief bookkeeper, Gu Cao Pengzuo, and Wang Zifa, Shiyi, Liu Yixun and others were all there, all with solemn expressions.

"How's the battle going? Has Guan Hai ever retreated? Kong Rong asked unhurriedly.

Everyone glanced at Kong Rong, this envoy is calm, and conceited of his talent and temperament, determined to calm the country's crisis, but he is good at civil governance but not martial arts, and he has set up cities and schools on cultural governance, showing Confucianism, recommending virtuous and virtuous, which is convincing, but he has no means to resist the Yellow Turban thieves, which is really disappointing to them.

Gu Cao Peng Zuo Chengzu said: "Guan Hai has besieged the city for half a month, the city has been cut off from food, and the soldiers are starving, so they have to distribute the jujubes stored in the warehouse to the soldiers to satisfy their hunger. ”

"Jujube is good." Kong Rong said leisurely: "Sweet and delicious, it can be used as military food." ”

Zuo Chengzu hated that iron could not become steel and said: "But the jujube in the warehouse is only a little, how many days can it last?" ”

"This ......" Kong Rong frowned, and said with a sigh of relief: "Guan Hai came from afar, maybe he will retreat in a few days." Let's take the wine, we will wait for the drink, don't panic, otherwise the soldiers will lose their fighting spirit. ”

Everyone looked at each other, but they were used to Kong Rong's indifference, they ignored him, and no one went to get the wine, the chief bookkeeper Wang Xuan said: "But I don't know when Tai Shici invited reinforcements, counting that he has been gone for six days, presumably the reinforcements will come soon, and now we just need to hold on, and we must not lose the city, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Kong Rong slapped his palms and smiled: "What Shuzhi said is very true, presumably reinforcements will come soon." ”

Wang Xuan was once elected by Kong Rong as filial piety, and now he is Kong Rong's main book, on behalf of Gao Mi Ling, this person is loyal and brave, Gao Mi Sun has always been strong and domineering, the door guest has violated the law many times, the thief entered the Sun family, the officials could not be arrested, Wang Xuan led the officials and the people to surround the Sun family, the Sun family resisted the defense, and the officials and the people were afraid and did not dare to approach. Wang Xuan forcibly broke through and subdued the Sun clan, so that the local lawless heroes were afraid to submit.

There are many thieves in Beihai country, Kong Rong is in danger every time, even if Wang Rong rests at home, he does not rush to Kong Rong's side immediately, and gives advice to Kong Rong, Kong Rong often relies on Wang Yu to avoid disasters, so he trusts Wang Yu very much.

In addition, Kong Rong also has great talents such as Shi Yi and Sun Shao around him, but unfortunately they can't be reused, they are just placed there.

"Get a drink." Kong Rong shouted again.

The hearts of the officials were heavy.

……

Outside the city, the sky was dark, and Guan Hai had already led his troops outside the city to prepare for the siege.

The land of Qingzhou, the surname of Guan is a big surname, when the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Wu destroyed Shang, sealed his third brother Guan Shu Xian in Guan, established the Guanguo, was the eastern town of the Zhou Dynasty at that time, and then the Guanguo perished, but most of the descendants migrated to the land of Qilu, the most famous of the descendants is Guan Zhong, to the Later Han Dynasty, Guan is even more branched out, all over the place, such as Guan Ning is the descendant of Guan Zhong, as for Guan Hai, also claims to be the descendant of Guan Zhong, but can not be examined.

Guan Hai is a native of Changguang in Donglai County, when the Yellow Turban was raging, Guan Hai took the opportunity to follow the Taiping Road, led 3,000 guests, and gathered tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans, occupied Changguang County, and several islands, rampant in Donglai County, 300,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turbans went south to Yanzhou, Guan Hai's scale of tens of thousands of people became a large one among the remaining Yellow Turbans.

This attack on Beihai was not only to borrow food, but also to expand its power.

This time, Kong Rong was trapped in Duchang, and Guan Hai could have taken the opportunity to attack other counties, but he was determined to eliminate Kong Rong's forces, so that Beihai Kingdom no longer had the strength to resist, so he besieged Duchang County for half a month, and never retreated, wanting to eliminate Kong Rong in one fell swoop.

The soldiers under him were all wrapped in yellow scarves, and their weapons were disorganized, including spears and swords, hoes, iron forks, wooden sticks, and even many of them had yellow scarves wrapped in yellow mud, but they were all full of morale, and their eyes were full of fanaticism, and they were not afraid of death.

With the beating of drums, thousands of yellow scarves attacked Duchang City again, under the banner of the word "Guan", Guan Hai sat on a horse, and beside him was a young man in black with a yellow silk brocade silk on his head, which was Guan Hai's nephew Guan Cheng.

Guan Cheng looked at Duchang, his eyes were full of fierceness: "Uncle, you can break through this Duchang City today, right?" ”

Guan Hai said proudly: "If it weren't for Kong Lao'er's timidity and his courage to fight, we would have already invaded Duchang City." ”

Guan Cheng said: "Kong Rong talks about incompetent people, if he doesn't have a few capable people under him, how can he resist his uncle." ”

Guan Hai laughed: "After this battle, Beihai will let us come and go. ”

"It's just that someone went out of the city that day, I'm afraid they went to ask for reinforcements." A hint of gloom flashed in Guan Cheng's eyes.

Guan Hai shook his head: "In the land of Qingzhou, where can I get reinforcements?" Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are competing in the west, who can take care of Kong Rong, even if there are some soldiers and horses, it is not enough. ”

After saying that, he shouted loudly: "Attack the city with all your might, you will definitely take Duchang today, kill Kong Lao'er, and take the grain, grass and money." ”

"Kill!" His Yellow Turban soldiers were all in high spirits and rushed forward bravely.
