Chapter Twenty-Eight: Wuhuan Comes to Help, and Yi Jingcheng is broken
Gongsun continued to hear the sad and desolate singing, and suddenly his heart was shocked. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info thought of the raging fire burning on the high-rise buildings in Yijing City. Gongsun Xu had a sense of foreboding. Could it be a father? But if this were not the case, why would the soldiers and horses in the city rush out of the city and sing such songs? And when he left, there were still 5,000 elite cavalry in the city, and now it seems that there are less than 2,000 cavalry who rushed out to support him, and the banner did not play the banner of Gongsun Zhan, but only the banner of the word "Liu", and the leader of the troops should be his uncle Liu Weitai. However, among his father's sworn brothers, Liu Weitai's martial arts were the weakest, and he rarely led troops alone, and now it seems that something must happen in the city.
At this time, Li Dang and Leping scattered a few Jizhou soldiers and horses and rushed to Gongsun Xu's approach, and continued to Gongsun Xu, "Big brother, I'm afraid that something has happened in the city, let's turn around and fight our way out of the encirclement."
Gongsun Xu was still hesitating, but Li Dang was a pair of Gongsun Xu's horse head, and then slapped him with a big axe on his horse's buttocks. The horse was in pain and ran forward desperately. Li Dang and Leping summoned the knights around them to kill together. The Jizhou soldiers, who were still trying their best to block their attack just now, were in chaos again, and began to adjust their formation to prevent them from retreating.
However, it is easy to rush into Yuan Shao's camp, but it is difficult to rush out. Because the horsepower has been lost, and the strength of the army does not have an advantage. Just when Gongsun Xu, Li Kang, and Le Ping were struggling to kill, another man from nowhere on the east side of Yuan Shao's camp came in.
The soldiers and horses of Jizhou on the periphery were in chaos, and when they saw the people coming clearly, they couldn't help but exclaim, "Wuhuan cavalry." ”
At this time, more than 5,000 cavalry entered the battle. Immediately changed the situation on the battlefield. Yuan Shao's side had to send troops to block the enemy from the east with all his might. Gongsun continued to have a lot less pressure on them. Gongsun Xu, under the protection of Li Kang and Leping, finally fought his way out of the encirclement. It's just that there were more than 2,500 cavalry when they entered it, but when they came out, there were less than 500.
As soon as they left the camp, they immediately fled to the ambush place of Wang Dang and Sun Qing. If Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses don't chase down, it's fine, if they do, I'm afraid that they will definitely lose their soldiers.
Yuan Shao's face originally saw that it was a good situation. The fire in the city was obviously an opportunity, but who knew that there was no time to arrange the siege of the city, and this wave of attacks caused Yuan Shao's camp to be in chaos. Moreover, there was also the Wuhuan cavalry attacking, and Yuan Shao couldn't decide whether to pursue the cavalry just now.
Yuan Shao was hesitating whether to pursue the rout just now, when the general next to him said to Yuan Shao, "I see that the cavalry are all white-clothed and white-horseed, and I am afraid that the person who led the troops was Gongsun Xu at that time." Now that the situation in the city is unknown, being able to capture Gongsun Xu will be of great effect on us taking down Yijing. ”
Yuan Shao heard this, and immediately ordered Zhang He to lead the cavalry to chase after him. The Wuhuan cavalry of the eastern battalion has been stopped from attacking, and the more than 2,000 people who rushed out of the city are now afraid that they have been strangled and killed. Only wait until tomorrow morning, and immediately start the siege. This Yi Jingcheng is not afraid of not breaking.
Zhang He led 3,000 men and horses to chase Gongsun Xu, who knew that he had chased more than 20 miles, and encountered an ambush by a large group of cavalry in the mountain recess. Zhang He has always been cautious, and when he encountered an ambush, he did not dare to fight, so he immediately organized the cavalry to retreat, leaving dozens of corpses back to the camp in a hurry.
Gongsun Xu joined Wang Dang and Sun Qing's men and horses, and looked at the more than 500 people who were injured all over his body, and his expression was gloomy.
Wang Dang and Sun Qing didn't say much, but ordered the sergeants of the battalion to arrange for Gongsun Xu and others to rest, while they arranged for soldiers and horses to be on guard on the periphery.
In the bloody battle just now, Gongsun Xu, Li Kang, and Le Ping were all scarred, and they all rested on the spot. However, Li Dang was the strongest body, and although he was seriously injured, he was still able to move around, and he asked in a loud voice, "Strange?" The cavalry from unknown places entered Yuan Shao's camp and helped them escape. ”
Li Dang's words reminded Gongsun Xu, and he said in his heart that it was the third brother Liu Yong who invited the rescuers. He arranged for his own soldiers to go to find out the news, and if Liu Yong led the troops to come, he wanted to lead them to a detour to meet here after they got out of the battle.
After more than an hour, the soldiers led thousands of men and horses. It was none other than Liu Yong who took the lead.
Gongsun Xu was very excited to see Liu Yong, and when Liu Yong got off the horse, he hugged him.
Liu Yong saw that Gongsun Xu was covered in battle robes and blood, but fortunately he was not injured, and Liu Yong was relieved. After he dismounted, he introduced the people behind him to Gongsun Xu. "Big brother, I will introduce you to a person, this person is the commander of a thousand under the command of Lord Nanlou, the leader of the Wuhuan in the upper valley. These soldiers were all borrowed by my Lord Wennanlou. If it weren't for their help, I'm afraid that in the battle just now, we wouldn't have had a chance to fight with the soldiers and horses of Jizhou. ”
Gongsun continued to let people greet several commanders of Wuhuan soldiers and horses. Only then did he ask Liu Yong about the details.
It turned out that Liu Yong went to Jixian County to ask for help after saying goodbye to Tian Jing that day, and sure enough, he couldn't move Gongsun Fan. Liu Yong reluctantly remembered what Tian Jing said that day, so he went to the grassland to see Lord Nanlou with a fluke mentality.
Nanlou is an old fox who has always been known for his shrewdness. Liu Yong originally did not report any interest in the trip. However, he didn't expect that Nanlou seemed to be very interested in his request for help. In fact, Liu Yong didn't know the difficulties of Nanlou, Nanlou's son died in the battle with Xianbei last year, and his son only had one daughter. If he is a hundred years later, the entire Shanggu Wuhuan will be in chaos because there is no heir.
Now the Wuhuan of the three counties is weak, and it is bound to rely on the strong. In Nanlou's opinion, Gongsun Chan has fought with them all his life, and he should be regarded as a strong man. Although he has been forced to the city now, he will not be defeated. And only at this time, Gongsun Chan will need the support of his allies. Therefore, Nanlou decided to put forward his conditions, marrying his granddaughter Wulan to Gongsun Zhan's son Gongsun Xu, and handing over the inheritance of Shanggu Wuhuan to Gongsun Xu and Wulan's eldest son after a hundred years. With this foundation, then everything is easy to talk about. This time, Nanlou sent 15,000 troops to support Youzhou, and if Shanggu Wuhuan received a foreign attack in the future, Youzhou would give full support. The two sides should carry out mutual markets and relax the restrictions on salt and iron in Wuhuan.
Liu Yong was in a hurry to go to the doctor at this time, where could he manage so much, so he agreed to it all. As soon as Gongsun Xu heard that without his consent, Liu Yong agreed to his marriage in Wulan, which was somewhat displeased. But as soon as he heard that Wuhuan had sent a total of 15,000 soldiers and horses, he was also shocked, and asked, "So the 5,000 men you brought are the forwards?" ”
Liu Yong said, "Exactly, Lord Nanlou personally commanded 10,000 cavalry behind. It is estimated to arrive in two days. ”
Gongsun continued to be overjoyed, "Then if this is the case, we will have more than 20,000 cavalry." At that time, it will be a direct impact on Yuan Shao's army, and we will also have the strength to fight. Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of seeing the fire in Yijing City today, and Yuan Shao's army seeing the more than 2,000 cavalry rushing out of the city singing lamentations, and the foreboding in my heart has always lingered.
Gongsun continued to tell Liu Yong what he had seen, and said to him, "Third brother, the cavalry I saw today is under the banner of Liu Zi, I am afraid that Uncle Liu Weitai is leading the troops. Looking at the formation, I am only afraid that there will be more than one auspicious. I don't want to tell you, but I can't help but tell you. ”
Liu Yong was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said slowly, "Big brother, those of us who are fighting on the battlefield, what is the difference between dying today and dying tomorrow, if my father really has something, we can only take care of the aftermath after returning to Yijing." Now what we have to do is to find a way to defeat the enemy from Jizhou. ”
Gongsun continued to hear that the original knot in his heart was now untied, "Okay! No matter what happens in the city, we will lead the army back to slaughter. In the future, our brothers will build a strong army together, and they will go to Jizhou in the coming day to avenge the blood marks of the soldiers who died in this battle. ”
**************************************************************************
Guan Jing was on the city wall, and he saw Gongsun Zan burn the tall building, and Liu Weitai rushed out of the city with 2,000 cavalry and did not survive. He suddenly felt a little dazed. When Gongsun Chan was the lieutenant of Liaodong Shu State, he followed him as a staff member, and he can be regarded as one of the most trusted people in Gongsun Chan. Later, Gongsun Zhan planned to kill Liu Yu and seize the position of assassin in Youzhou; Until the heyday, Gongsun Chan appointed his subordinates as Jizhou and Qingzhou Assassins, and the land of the three states of the soldiers, and he was shocked by Hebei for a while, and he always followed Gongsun Chan and gave advice for it. In his opinion, Gongsun Chan can be regarded as a generation of heroes. But there are times when heroes die, no matter how much territory there is, there are times when they are occupied, and even the strongest soldiers are sometimes defeated. Now that Gongsun Chan is dead, the generals under him are dead and surrendered, and there are only himself and less than 10,000 remnants left in this Yijing City. This time, Youzhou was really defeated, defeated, and there was no chance of a turnaround.
Guan Jing was disheartened, and gave a final order in the name of the governor of Youzhou, ordering the soldiers and people in the city to open the four gates and surrender to the Jizhou soldiers and horses outside the city. He picked up the long sword and gently slashed it at his throat with the blade, knowing that this was the only thing he could do for Gongsun Zhan.
************************************************************************
Yi Jingcheng, who was still a headache yesterday, actually surrendered today. Yuan Shao was a little unbelieving at first, but after his army entered the city and controlled the four gates and the defenders, he could finally rest assured. In order to attack Yijing, he lost a total of 30,000 soldiers and spent countless grains, grass and materials. But the rewards are also huge. I believe that in less than half a month, all counties and counties in Youzhou will look at the wind.
Now, even if Gongsun Xu still has a few soldiers and horses outside, he can't pose a threat. Now that the overall situation has been decided, after he has mastered all the territory of Youzhou, then he will master the land of Qingyou and the four states of Hebei. When the time comes, he will lead his troops south and unify the Central Plains, but he will see who dares to compete.
Yuan Shao couldn't help but be complacent when he thought of this. Now some of the generals under his command are receiving prisoners, some are strengthening the city defenses, and some are counting the treasury. Yuan Shao looked at this Yijing City and suddenly had an idea, since Youzhou and Jizhou are in his hands, then there is really no need to keep this Yijing Jiancheng. He didn't want any arrogant generals in the future to respect the city. This Yijing City must be made to disappear, but now is not the time, it must wait until all the cities in Youzhou are in their own hands.
