Chapter 140: Liu Fanmou Guangzong (II)

Guo Dian wanted to speak and stopped, the main general said so, what else could he do?

The soldiers were overjoyed, especially the newly recruited volunteers.

Jizhou, as the first place affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, is now dilapidated.

Many people in the prime of life should serve as volunteers just to eat and reduce the burden on their families.

Three eclipses a day, for them, a dream.

After resting at noon, the army continued to march towards Gwangjong Fortress.

The 40,000-step ride through the country by day and day has long been detected by Zhang Jiao's spies.

After the spies brought this news to Guangzong City, Zhang Jiao ordered the Yellow Turban soldiers stationed outside the city and near Guangzong City to enter the city one after another.

Zhang Jiao still took the usual measures, focusing on defense for the time being. His soldiers were short of soldiers and armor, and they could never fight with officers and soldiers in the field.

If you want to defeat the officers and soldiers, you must be surprised. Like Qu Yang's victory over Dong Zhuo, surprise can win.

At dusk, Liu Fan led an army of 40,000 foot cavalry to a place two miles south of Guangzong City.

"General, why don't you encircle the four gates of Guangzong? The heart of the chilling enemy. Wu Heng Zhonglang suggested to Liu Fan.

"Guo Taishou, is what you think Wu Heng Zhonglang said feasible?" Liu Fan turned his gaze to Julu Taishou Guo Dian.

In the battle of Xiaquyang, the Han army was defeated, and Dong Zhuo was guilty. The Han army was able to barely retain the main force to break through, Guo Dian's work.

Guo Dian advised Dong Zhuo to brake quietly, gather troops, cast a fence, and wait for Zhang Jiao.

Dong Zhuo didn't listen, so he had to lead the army to attack Zhang Jiao.

Guo Dian knew Zhang Jiaojun's intentions and wanted to form a two-sided attack. So he led his troops to storm the four gates of Quyang City, so that Zhang Baojun could not leave the city for a short time.

Sure enough, Dong Zhuo was defeated, and Guo Dian's move effectively delayed Zhang Bao's time out of the city. Precious time was gained for the main army to break through, otherwise, I am afraid that the Han army would be in danger of being annihilated.

"Don't worry about the mistakes of the past, and follow the track of repetition." Guo Dian bowed his hand and said cautiously: "The car ahead can be learned, and our army should change course."

Guo Dian's words were clear, if Zhang Jiao's army was surrounded at the four gates, Zhang Jiao's old tricks would be repeated, and Zhang Bao would be dispatched out of Quyang to attack the Han army, and it was very likely that he would make the same mistake.

"That makes sense. So what does Guo Taishou think to do? Liu Fan asked Guo Dian again.

"The general's talent is ten times better than mine, don't dare to make a conclusion, please make a decision." Guo Dian said humbly.

"This is facing the south gate of Guangzong City, and our army's 40,000 soldiers and horses are camped one mile away from the south gate of Guangzong City. Xiaquyang is in the north of Guangzong City, even if Zhang Bao leads his army out of Xiaquyang, it is impossible to encircle the rear of our army. In addition, more horses were sent back and forth between Guangzong and Xia Quyang, and Zhang Bao moved in Quyang to determine tactics. ”

Liu Fan didn't say much, and directly gave his own order.

"No!" Guo Dian and the sect members agreed with Liu Fan's words.

Although Liu Fan did not set a foolproof plan, this arrangement is very conducive to finding opportunities.

Some of the 40,000 soldiers were on guard, and some were camped. The matter of setting up camp was arranged for Liu Fan.

Two hours later, the barracks were settled. Guo Dian walked around the camp and was shocked.

Around the barracks was a temporary wooden wall, consisting of two rows of tree trunks, one long and one short. After scorching the bottom of the trunk, bury half of it in the soil.

Long trunks are tightly lined out, short trunks are lined up inside. Then put a plank between the two rows of trunks, divided into two layers, so that the part of the trunk can be used as a parapet, the upper layer of the plank can be used for soldiers to keep guard, and the lower layer of plank can store defensive weapons and rest soldiers.

Liu Fan took the fifty soldiers under the command of Du Bo as a camp. The tents faced each other, and a drainage ditch was dug in the middle.

Ten tents are one camp, and each camp has a place to relieve hands.

For the places where the soldiers plundered the three emergencies, not only Liu Fan attached great importance to it, but also the ancients also attached great importance to it.

In the art of war, it is constantly emphasized that the place where the latrine is dug is very important, away from the water source, away from the place where the food is stored. And there is a certain distance from the barracks, if it is too far, it is inconvenient for the soldiers, and of course it cannot be too close.

The cavalry camp was wider, and behind the tent was a barn of stables to prepare for the battle.

Although the huge camp is dotted around, it is scattered, and once the horns attack the camp, you can quickly mobilize troops to defend.

In contrast, Guo Dian muttered: If Dong Zhuo can do this, An will have the previous defeat.

"No loud noises are allowed between camps, and no one is allowed to shuttle between camps without an order. Violators will be dealt with by military law. Liu Fan summoned the lieutenants and Sima and gave them orders. Then the soldiers were ordered to rest.

The night was peaceful, and in the early morning of the next day, Liu Fan led the soldiers and horses out of the camp and lined up in front of Guangzong City.

"General Yutiangong, the officers and soldiers outside the south gate are seeking battle."

The days are longer and the nights are shorter after the vernal equinox, and the days are shorter and the nights are longer after the autumnal equinox.

Not long after Zhang Jiao got up, his subordinates came to report.

After Zhang Jiao received the news, he hurriedly called his second brother Zhang Liang and came to the south gate city wall.

Looking at the Han army in full swing under the city and flying flags, Zhang Jiao's face changed greatly.

The new defeat of the Han army, why is it still so vigorous? It's obviously a defeated army, how can it look like a victorious hero?

"The Han army is strong and strong, and there are so many troops, you can't fight with them." Zhang Jiao frowned and said.

"If we don't fight, won't we lose the morale of our army?" Zhang Liang sighed.

"The officers and soldiers came prepared, just to demoralize our army, if they are defeated when they go out of the city, their morale will be greatly reduced, and it will be even more unfavorable to defend the city." After Zhang Jiao finished speaking, he coughed heavily. He was pale and sickly.

"Big brother, your illness hasn't gotten better? Why don't you go back to the mountain and find a teacher to heal you. Gwangjong City is here, and nothing will go wrong. ”

Zhang Jiao is a clever doctor, although the doctor does not treat himself, but he can still prescribe the right medicine. Even he himself can't do anything about his illness, which shows that his condition is serious.

"Don't make a noise." Zhang Jiao came to his senses and raised his hand to stop it. He knows the accumulated illness himself.

"We will deviate from the teacher's teachings, and we will not be ashamed to say goodbye." Zhang Jiao did not regret his words.

I had a wish more than ten years ago, and that wish at that time has become a long-cherished wish today, and this long-cherished wish contains ambition.

Zhang Jiao has his own will, and he wants to use his own ideas to change the world.

At this time, Liu Fan led 200 guards to a hundred steps away from the city gate.

"Where is Zhang Jiao?" The overlord halberd pointed to the city, and Liu Fan shouted loudly.

"I am Zhang Jiao, the general of Tiangong, who are you?" Zhang Jiao held the female wall with one hand, and pointed at Liu Fan with the other and asked.

"I am the general of the expedition to the north, Liu Fan is also. Since the traitor Zhang Jiao, since he did not dare to go out of the city to fight with me, he tied his hands and surrendered the city. Perhaps I will spare your life. It is also a torment to survive in the city. Liu Fan raised his voice and shouted at Zhang Jiao.

"Yellow-mouthed child, don't take advantage of my tongue, if you have the ability, come and attack the city. Defeated Guangzong, my head on the neck, take it away. Zhang Jiao said angrily.

But he was shocked in his heart, and so was Zhang Liang.
