The one hundred and sixty-ninth battle of Yongqiu
The next day, Guo Jia's formation had been decided, and Xu Chu led 5,000 soldiers and horses first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The soldiers and horses marched to the foot of Yongqiu City, and saw that the city gate was closed, and the enemy army was waiting on the city wall; Xu Chu took the lead and shouted at the city tower: "I am the pioneer of Yuzhou, Xu Chu is also!" Can Yuan Shujun's child dare to fight me? β
Suddenly, a sharp arrow shot out from Yongqiu City, pointing directly at Xu Chu's throat; Xu Chu was not in a hurry, he easily brushed it away, and sneered: "How capable my Dao Yuan Shu is, and the young generals under him are so timid!" Don't dare to face the enemy head-on, and even do such a nasty thing as releasing dark arrows! β
Zhang Xun in the city saw that he was ridiculed when he failed to shoot an arrow, and he was furious in his heart, and shouted at the general beside him: "Chen Lan, you go out of the city with a thousand soldiers and horses to meet the enemy!" β
Chen Lan did not immediately agree, but was extremely unwilling: "General, you and I both know that this Xu Chudian Wei is a double brave in Yuzhou, and he also has 5,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, if you let me lead this thousand soldiers and horses out, wouldn't it be looking for death?" β
Chen Lannai was born in a rogue, and Yuan Shu led the crowd to surrender after being appointed as the Taishou of Nanyang, and became Zhang Xun's general, and it was inevitable that he cared about his own life in his words. Zhang Xun was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "This is a military order, how can you ask for questions?" β
Even if Chen Lan was unwilling, she could only go out of the city to meet the enemy. He ordered a thousand soldiers and horses, but looking at these untrained soldiers like rogues, he sighed helplessly, how could this beat Xu Chu's five thousand soldiers and horses?
Xu Chu, who was outside the city, suddenly saw the city gate open, and a general led the troops to battle, so he shouted: "Who is coming, a certain tiger head knife does not kill the nameless rat!" β
Xu Chu drank like a shocking roar, and there was a great tendency to move thunder. Chen Lan was frightened, but she thought that she couldn't lose her morale, so she replied in a hard voice: "Admiral Chen Lan is also!" Thou art a thief, who dares to offend my borders, and now you have come down to surrender, and you will not lose your rank and rank! β
The more Chen Lan spoke, the more unconfident she became, adding an official to a knight? He has served Yuan Shu for several years, and he has never been promoted, and he also promised others to be promoted and make a fortune? In momentum alone, he has already lost half of it.
"Yuan Shu is a traitor and a thief, bullying the good, and Chen left many Qiantou miserable! My lord has a heart for life, and he wants to kill him as soon as possible! Thou art a thief, who aided in the abuse, and dared to speak out in front of the battle, and thou shalt not be ashamed? Eat my big knife! β
Xu Chu drank it, said no more, and rushed forward on a single horse, wanting to fight with Chen Lan. Chen Lan complained bitterly, but she could only fight with Xu Chu hard. As soon as the battle began, Xu Chu Qianjun's strength shook the weapon in Chen Lan's hand; Chen Lan was shocked, seeing that the scimitar was coming, she didn't dare to fight, so she turned her horse and left.
How could Xu Chu let him go? Immediately rode horses to catch up, the vanguard soldiers and horses fought for a while, and the Yuan army was defeated. If it weren't for the cover of the random arrows on the top of the city tower, I am afraid that these thousand soldiers and horses would all have done Xu Chu's military exploits.
Xu Chu won a small victory, his morale was high, and he wanted to fight again, but he was shot back by random arrows. In desperation, Xu Chu had to wait on the spot, and after Guo Jia led the rest of the soldiers and horses to come, he would make a decision.
On the other side, Guo Jia's deputy general Zhang Sheng received the order, led a hundred people back to the edge of the city wall, and shot the letter of persuasion that had been tied up into the city. The movement of a hundred people shooting arrows is not small, although Yuan Shujun's precautions are lax, but they are still discovered by some sharp-eyed people. Due to the large amount of crossbow arrows, there must be a lack of them in Yiyi Recovery, so Zhang Xun ordered the removal of all those suspected of taking crossbow arrows.
This so-called purging will naturally not be a problem for you to go to prison and confess. As long as your neighbor sees you with a crossbow arrow, it's a headshot. Yongqiu City has a total population of more than 800 households, and as many as 150 people were slaughtered in this instant, which shows Zhang Xun's viciousness.
In addition to the people who really got the crossbow arrows, many of these one hundred and fifty people were naturally unjustly killed by the enemy's calculations. But in addition to these, there are naturally people who have escaped this search, and Xu Zhang, the richest man in Yongqiu, is one of them.
But said that Xu Zhang took the letter paper on the crossbow arrow, took it home and carefully observed, and wrote: "A certain lord Yuzhou is benevolent and righteous, and now Yuzhou is rich and has a stable life. β
The content of the letter is extremely simple, and the content of persuasion is also a clichΓ©, but because Yuan Shu is unpopular with the people, such a simple means of persuasion is also extremely effective. Xu Zhangdengshi called his wife Wang and explained what he meant, but Wang mocked: "What kind of good people and benevolent monarchs are there in this world? Even Yuan Shu can claim benevolence and righteousness to the outside world, where can he, Yuzhou Mu, be benevolent and righteous? It's just to send away a tiger and usher in a wolf! I advise you not to think about it, and save your own life from persecution! β
Xu Zhang was silent, he had not been to Yuzhou in the past two years, he did not know the people of Yuzhou, and he could not judge the governance ability of Yuzhou pastor. But he was really angry, but Yuan Shu, who robbed his family property, was able to enjoy his own blessings!
The Wang family knew that Xu Zhang had a lot of resentment towards Yuan Shu, but he still advised Xu Zhang to put his life first, so why should he care about his belongings outside his body? Xu Zhang refused to allow it, and called some business partners that night to discuss the surrender.
Yuan Shu plundered the people's property, and the most important target must be these merchants, who let their family have more money? It is precisely because of this that Chen Liuguo's businessmen hate Yuan Shu extremely much. Hearing that Xu Zhang intended to surrender the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou, they all agreed, so they discussed it overnight, beware of long nights and dreams.
The next day, Guo Jia's soldiers and horses had besieged the entire Yongqiu, and not even a single fly could fly. Guo Jia ordered Xu Chu to call the battle, while Zhang Xun was reluctant to fight because of the more food in the city, and the two sides gradually fell into a stalemate.
But at this time, I suddenly heard a report from the scout: "Yuan Shujun Qiaorui led 5,000 troops to rescue Yongqiu, and the soldiers and horses are only thirty miles away from our army!" β
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Yuan Shu is not stupid, he knows that Yongqiu can't be lost, but it's only five thousand, how can he stop the edge of our army?" β
However, Guo Jia is still very worried, after all, if the two sides meet, there will be nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and it will be extremely difficult to attack the city; If you are only trapped and do not attack, you are afraid that you will be cut off from the grain route and dig your own grave.
Now, it seems that he can only hope for the surrender letter sent out last night.
Not long after, the scout came to report: "Qiao Rui leads the troops only ten miles away from our army!" β
At this time, it was noon, the weather was dry, and the soldiers were tired, and even Guo Jia himself was about to be unable to withstand the heat. He was about to temporarily withdraw his troops to avoid its edge, but he didn't want Zhang Xun to suddenly kill from the north gate and catch a tired soldier off guard.
When Zhang Xun rushed to kill, Qiao Rui also led the troops to arrive, as if they had already been connected, and rushed to the weakest place of the soldiers at the North Gate, and the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou were defeated. And when Guo Jia reorganized the soldiers and horses, Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui had already led the troops into the city, and it seemed that they had no intention of entangling with Guo Jia at all.
"Damn it!"
Guo Jia didn't expect to be killed by two nameless rats, losing nearly a thousand people, and his heart was restless.
Just when Guo Jia was about to retreat to Wuli to camp and discuss the siege of the city, a soldier suddenly came to report: "Military division, a sharp arrow has been shot in the city, and the letter and military division are on it!" β
