Chapter 172: Gongsun Chan who had no choice but to retreat

Tian Yu's judgment is actually correct, since he is unable to break through Juyong City, it is better to simply give up, take this opportunity to return to Jicheng, repair the defense, accumulate grain and grass, and prepare to deal with Wuhuan's counterattack, although the Wuhuan army is not weak in combat, but the discipline is poor, as long as it persists for a period of time and frustrates its sharpness, it can take advantage of the situation to counterattack and defeat Wuhuan's attack, so that although it cannot finally resist the union of Liu He and Yuan Shao, it can also fight for his own time more, of course, if Gongsun Chan is willing to wronged himself, In fact, you can also take refuge in Gongsun Kang in Liaodong.

However, Gongsun Chan couldn't listen to the correct opinion, shook his head and said: "Now that Liu Yu has been trapped in Juyong City, my army has been attacking for more than 20 days, and it is about to be captured, how can I retreat like this?" Once I retreat, I'm afraid it's equivalent to a tiger returning to the mountain, and if I want to trap the old thief, it's almost impossible, as long as I can capture Liu Yu, I can control Youzhou in his name, and even call Liu and the thief back to kill him, so that I can control Youzhou and Sili and other places, once the Black Mountain Army is recruited again, even Yuan Shao will crawl under me, how can I let go of such a good opportunity? Guorang, you don't care about this matter, even if the Wuhuan cavalry comes, I'm not afraid, my white horse is their nemesis. ”

"This, my lord, you have to think twice." Tian Yu thought that Gongsun Chan would agree, but when he heard this, he was stunned, and then said: "Please see the situation clearly, don't be carried away by Xiaoli." ”

At this time, he saw Gongsun Zhan's long history Guan Jing's face sank, and shouted loudly: "Tian Yu, you are so bold, you dare to shout in front of the lord, who gave you the courage?" Hmph, how many wars has the lord experienced in his life? You eat more rice than you walk, how do you not know how to break the enemy? Don't get back now! If it weren't for the affection that you returned to Youzhou from Liu Xuande thousands of miles away and returned to the lord, the lord would have beaten you out a long time ago! ”

"This ......" When Tian Yu heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly, shook his head helplessly, and then withdrew silently.

Gongsun Zan was also a little embarrassed when he saw Tian Yu leaving, but he didn't expect that at this moment, he only heard Guan Jing speak: "Lord, this Tian Yu is only in his twenties, and he is a hairy boy, where will he think about the problem carefully?" Ignore him. In fact, it's okay if Li Ping is gone, the lord thinks, originally this Juyong City mainly relied on Li Ping to defend it, and now that Li Ping has left, there is no general in Juyong City who can be used to defend it, as long as we take the opportunity to attack, we will definitely be able to conquer Juyong City before the arrival of the Wuhuan army and capture Liu Yu alive, as long as the old thief Liu Yu is captured alive, who else dares to do it with the lord? ”

"Haha, it's still Guan Changshi who is right, if that's the case, then I will order the army to start attacking the city early tomorrow morning, and be sure to capture Juyong City before the Wuhuan army arrives."

Gongsun Chan also suddenly turned his worries into joy, and encouraged the generals to fight bravely tomorrow, and then went to rest

Early the next morning, Gongsun Chan led his army to begin the siege of the city, only to see tens of thousands of troops swept away like a tide, impacting the not very strong Juyong City.

Originally, Gongsun Zhan thought that Li Ping had left, and this Juyong City should soon lose the will to resist, but he didn't expect that the soldiers defending the city would be more tenacious than before, and he faintly saw a person carrying a sword on the head of the city, directing the soldiers to fight.

Under his supervision, the soldiers at the head of the city fought bravely and defended the city without leaking, and the ability to defend the city was even better than that of Li Pinglai before.

"Does anyone know the man at the head of the city?" Gongsun Chan pointed at the young man commanding the battle at the head of the city with his horsewhip and asked the soldiers under his command.

At this time, I saw Gongsun Ji come forward and said with a smile: "Big brother, I know this person, he came to seek refuge with Li Ping Liu Yu, named Du Xian, Zixu, a native of Yingchuan, and is now an ordinary military horse. ”

Gongsun Zan heard Gongsun Ji call him "big brother", the muscles on his face twitched unnaturally, but he was quickly full of smiles, and said to Gongsun Ji: "Now, it seems that this guy is no longer a military horse, it seems that he has taken on the heavy responsibility of guarding the city, I really didn't expect such a little-known little person to have such a talent."

Of course, Gongsun Zhan didn't know Du Xian's talent, in history, when this person was the magistrate of Xi'e County under Cao Cao, he encountered Cai Mao's infantry and cavalry sent by Liu Biao to attack, Du Zhan led more than 50 warriors to defend the city, and actually held on for five days, and killed hundreds of Cai Mao's subordinates, while his own side only lost 30 people, in that battle, Du Zhan could hold on for five days with such a disparity in strength, not to mention that the difference in strength between the two sides is not so big now.

Therefore, although Li Ping left, Du Xi is definitely a bone that is more difficult to gnaw than Li Ping!

Gongsun Zhan didn't know that Du Raid was so talented, but he knew that Du Raid was the key to it, so he sneered and said: "Since this is the case, then I will reward him with an arrow, as long as this Du Raid is dead, presumably the morale of the city will collapse quickly." ”

When Gongsun Chan said this, he took out his big bow with the power of two stones, put on the feather arrow, and drew the bowstring, only to see the feather arrow fly over like a meteor.

Gongsun Zhan originally thought that his arrow would definitely be able to shoot Du Raid to death, but unfortunately, the soldiers around Du Raid all reminded loudly that Du Raid had to dodge under his busy schedule, but he was shot in the shoulder by this arrow, and in an instant, he saw blood staining his robes red.

"That's not bad, you're injured, you should go down to recuperate, right? I see how you can still command? Gongsun Zhan looked at the crumbling Du Xun and said with a sneer.

However, what he didn't expect was that although Na Du was injured, he still did not go down to rest, but tore off his battle robe, hastily wrapped the wound, and then continued to command the battle.

In this way, the morale of the defenders at the head of the city not only did not drop, but rose even higher, and they all gritted their teeth and desperately killed the enemy troops who broke into the city.

"Damn! I really didn't expect this Du Raid to be so tenacious, it's a pity that there wasn't an arrow to kill him just now! Gongsun Chan gritted his teeth and scolded, but he was helpless against Du Raid at the head of the city, even if he had the heart to make up for another arrow, he couldn't do it, because Du Raid now had more than ten soldiers holding big shields to protect him at all times, so he couldn't do it.

And in this case, the soldiers under the command of Gongsun Chan died one after another, and it was estimated that only in the time when Du Zhan was shot with that arrow, more than 300 soldiers under the command of Gongsun Chan were killed, including even forty or fifty white horse servants!

"Pass the order, Mingjin! Remove! Even though he was unwilling, Gongsun Zhan also knew that it would be futile to attack again, so he had no choice but to order a retreat.
