There are two flowers, one on each branch.

In other words, in Beihai, Qingzhou, Yuan Shang was like a frightened bird at this time, hiding in his bedroom and not daring to come out.

As Mrs. Zhang and Liu said, Yuan Shang is younger than the two eldest brothers, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, and now he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he is a weak-crowned teenager. Although his usual behavior is also a little arrogant, he really hasn't done too many bad things.

In fact, those children born in big families, relatively speaking, the family education is still relatively strict. It's just that at the beginning of Yuan Shao's generation, because of the decline of the entire Han Dynasty and the influence of the corrupt atmosphere, and coincided with the chaos in the world, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu both behaved inappropriately.

As the saying goes, if there is a father, there must be a son, they themselves are not righteous, and they neglect to teach their children correctly, and more, in their own backyard, it is their women who have the final say. And their women are fighting with each other all day long for interests, not only not teaching their own children well, but teaching their children to compete with their own brothers for power and profit.

Because of this, Yuan Shao's sons are so unbearable. Yuan Shang can be said to have not been poisoned too much, at least, he has not been as hysterical as his two eldest brothers.

In Yuan Shang's heart, although he is also keen on power, he is still ignorant, and he has not yet completely set the shape of his pursuit.

Under the instigation of Yuan Shao's old department, he led a defeated army of Yuan Shao from Jizhou to Qingzhou, intending to divide a land.

Because Cao Cao had never been able to spare his hands to deal with Yuan Shang's relationship, the New Han army did not cross the Yellow River to the east to attack him for the time being. This gave Yuan Shang a relatively stable life.

Right now. When the New Han Army openly marched into the Central Plains and denounced Cao Cao. But suddenly, the New Han army came to his Qingzhou, and directly killed him on the Shandong Peninsula. Killed Yuan Shang and the people thought it was the safest rear, which made Yuan Shang and them panic.

In fact, Yuan Shangzi has never really been on the battlefield, and he does not have an intuitive understanding of the cruelty of war.

At the instigation of the judges, Yuan Shang plucked up the courage and set out in person, leading his army with the intention of repelling the New Han army that landed on the peninsula.

However, today's Yuan Jun. Where will they be the opponents of the New Han Army? Even if the military horses that came to Shandong were only Gongsun Du's Liaodong Army, but Yuan Shang's Yuan Army was still not Gongsun Du's opponent, and often as soon as the two armies engaged, Yuan Jun was defeated by the strong New Han Army, and it was difficult to resist the front of the New Han Army.

When the soldiers of the Yuan army fell to the ground in the rain of arrows of the New Han Army. The painful and terrible screams made Yuan Shang's three souls disappear. Especially, when the New Han Army was in close contact with his military horses, he saw those soldiers of the New Han Army. One by one, with hideous expressions, one by one, he slashed his Yuan soldiers to the ground like chopping melons and vegetables. The blood spurted wildly, and the severed limbs flew wildly. The scene like a bloody hell directly scared Yuan Shang into a pale. Fleeing the battlefield in a hurry, he fled all the way back to Beihai City, locking himself in his bedroom and not daring to show his face.

In fact, as soon as he returned to the North Sea, he fell ill from such fright. I have nightmares all day long, and I keep talking nonsense.

Now, almost all the affairs of Beihai City are handled by the judges, and he is in charge alone.

In the historical trial, after Yuan Shao died of illness, he appointed Yuan Shang as his heir, which led to a dispute between brothers and was broken by Cao Cao. Cao Cao besieged Ye, tried and defended for several months, and finally the city was broken and captured, refused to surrender, and died generously.

Judging his people, he is not only Yuan Shao's strategist, but also can use soldiers and be good at fighting. It can be said that under Yuan Shao's account, there are not many available people who can be literate and martial.

In addition, according to some historical commentaries, his human nature is loyal and generous, and there are inviolable festivals. But in other words, it's a little cautious and unscrupulous.

Because of his specialization and a little cautious, there were many discords with Yuan Shao's advisers. It is precisely because of this that the strategists under Yuan Shao's account are actually all privately formed a party, and every strategist is assigned to a party with some generals in the army, which leads to a split in Yuan's army. Yuan Shao was alive and well, but after he died of illness, there were immediately advisors under Yuan Shao's account, each of whom supported the sons of Yuan Shao, who were friendly with them, and eventually led to Yuan Shao's sons supporting their own armies. In the face of Cao Cao's pressure, Yuan Shao's sons, the brothers were not harmonious, and attacked each other, so how could the Yuan family be immortal?

However, because in this life, they were not destroyed by Cao Cao, and Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi had died one after another, so the only remaining remnants of Yuan Shao, if they could escape from Jizhou, would be able to support Yuan Shang.

For example, many of Yuan Shao's subordinate generals are also in Yuan Shang's account at this moment.

Su You, Feng Li, Yin Kai, Fu Hu, Ma Yan, Xianrong and other generals are now under Yuan Shang's account, but most of them are military generals who have good friends with the trial, and in the past, they were also considered subordinates of the trial.

Yuan Shang personally defeated and returned, was frightened and fell ill, judged the overall situation, contracted Yuan Shang's military horses, let the military horses repair fortifications in Beihai City, and prepared to fight with the New Han army according to Beihai City.

The historical trial was able to hold Yecheng and fight with Cao's army for several months, which shows that his people are not without merit.

It is commendable that the trial and matching of the army is extremely strict, especially when defending the city, his requirements for the sergeant are very strict, and anyone must be in strict combat according to his requirements, and there must be no slackness, otherwise, once the trial and match know, he will inevitably suffer a very severe punishment, and the heavy one will be beheaded for public display.

Therefore, the current Beihai City can still be called a fortified city, a city that is difficult to attack.

Yuan Jun in Beihai, it was precisely because of the trial that Yuan Jun did not appear chaotic because Yuan Shang was ill and could not be a director. On the contrary, the Yuan army in the city, everyone, can still do a good job of city defense meticulously according to the order of the trial. Everything still seems to be in order.

When Gongsun Du and his son Gongsun Kang and other generals led their troops to Beihai City, they were unable to attack Beihai City in the face of Beihai City, which was like a hedgehog. I want to attack, but I can't do it.

That one. The New Han army commanded by Gongsun Du was actually mostly his headquarters Liaodong military horses. Nominally, though, it has been reorganized. It was included in the list of the New Han Army, but many weapons and equipment have not been replaced, and Gongsun Du is not very familiar with some of the operational tactics of the New Han Army. More importantly, because Gongsun Du's Liaodong Army was mostly cavalry, many of the infantry troops were equipped. Not yet.

For example, the New Han Army's trebuchets, bed crossbows, and other guys that must be equipped with the infantry army, even if Gongsun Dujun has them, there are not many.

Therefore, when he killed Beihai City, he could only camp outside Beihai City first, forming an oppressive situation against Beihai City and forming a confrontation with Yuan Shangjun in Beihai City.

It's just that before sending troops, the New Han Dynasty had long expected such a situation. So. Attacking Beihai City is actually not just Gongsun Du's mission.

The military horses in Jizhou, because Cao Cao's defense on the south bank of the Yellow River was too tight, there was no good opportunity for Tai Shici to cross the river with his army.

Well. Since ancient times, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River have been bounded by natural hazards, and many wars and battles have been carried out. It doesn't matter who it is, which side it is. In fact, they will be very cautious about crossing the river, and there is no absolute certainty. Without a complete grasp of the situation, they generally do not dare to easily wave their troops across the river to fight.

This is really not a joke. Don't look at the New Han Army has won so many battles, and every time it is fought. The casualties of the New Han Army's own military horses were not too large. However, you must know that every battle of the New Han Army will basically start a war under a situation where there is a great deal of certainty, otherwise, it would rather not fight than take risks easily.

Think about it, if now, the New Han army is too casual, too easy to cross the Yellow River, after crossing the Yellow River, after reaching the south bank of the Yellow River, in case it is difficult to open the situation, but is subject to the Cao army, suffered from the ambush of the Cao army, or the siege of the army, no matter how strong the New Han army is, I am afraid that the whole army will be destroyed.

Just like in Jiangdu, the New Han Army under Liu Miao and the New Han Army of Qu'a, once they crossed the river and fought unfavorably, they were defeated and wanted to escape back, at that time, there would be time for you to retreat calmly.

The New Han Army under Tai Shi Ci is considered to be an old New Han Army, these soldiers have followed Tai Shi Ci to fight for many years, and once there is any loss, it will be the real blow to the New Han Army. Therefore, without full certainty, Tai Shici did not dare to easily wave his army across the river.

Some things are not joked, once they are ambushed, even if it is the New Han Army, they will still lose the battle, and they will be powerless.

Every victory of the New Han Army, in addition to the soldiers' lives, must also be the commander of the main general, and design how to fight each battle and every war, we must not take it lightly, we must be cautious.

During this time, Tai Shi Ci almost inspected hundreds of miles on the south bank of the Yellow River, and every Yellow River crossing that could cross the river, Tai Shi Ci carefully observed, and even dived over to inspect it himself, and found that Cao Jun guarded the south bank of the Yellow River without any flaws, and there was no chance for him to take advantage of it. Therefore, when the Xinhan army in Jingzhou and Jiangdong was in a state of strength and won one victory after another, Tai Shici's Jizhou army was still in a state of preparing for the whole army, and it had never officially crossed the river to fight.

However, now, Gongsun Zhan has opened a gap, killed the Yellow River from Donglin at the mouth of the Yellow River, and the army is about to march to Mount Tai, if it can reach an agreement with Zang Ba, the king of Mount Tai, then the new Han army will soon be able to kill directly to Jinan and attack the important town of Cao Cao.

At this time, Gongsun Du's Liaodong New Han Army also basically seized the entire territory of the Shandong Peninsula, and its military horses had been killed under Beihai City.

Gongsun Du asked Gongsun Chan for help, and wanted to ask Gongsun Chan to kill Beihai together, and the two armies jointly attacked Beihai City.

However, Gongsun Zhan considered that his military horses were similar to Gongsun Du's Liaodong Army, and he was better at cavalry field battles, and he was not very good at siege warfare. Therefore, Gongsun Chan did not immediately send troops to Beihai City, but asked Tai Shici for help.

Tai Shici was originally from Donglai, Shandong, and it seemed better to ask him to return to Shandong to fight when he did not cross the river to fight against Cao Cao. What's more, Tai Shici's military horses are better at attacking and plundering land.

In fact, even if there was no request from Gongsun Du and Gongsun Zhan, Tai Shi Ci was ready to lead an army to Qingzhou first and launch an attack on Jinan with Gongsun Zhan. In order to open the gap in the Yellow River defense line, so that the New Han army that remained north of the Yellow River could kill it more quickly.

After receiving the request for help from the two generals, it was also in line with Tai Shici's intentions, he immediately mobilized his military horses, mobilized 100,000 horses, brought siege baggage, and went straight to Beihai.

Within the sphere of influence that the New Han Dynasty has controlled, there will be no threat, and the mobilization of the army only needs the soldiers of the New Han Army to move, so the mobilization of military horses is very fast.

Within a few days, Tai Shi Ci led an army of 100,000 to Beihai City.

Yuan Shang's military horses, in fact, are not too many, the military horses that fled to Qingzhou casually are only about 100,000, and then, there are tens of thousands of military horses left in Qingzhou to guard, and the development of this period of time has also developed tens of thousands of Yuan troops. However, in the battle with the Xinhan army in Shandong, some military horses were lost, so the Yuan Shang army in Beihai still had about 150,000 Yuan troops.

Together with Tai Shici's military horses, Gongsun Du had an army of 200,000 and attacked Beihai City together.

If it is said that in history, Cao Cao couldn't capture Yecheng for several months, and in the end, it was the generals under the trial who betrayed the trial and was captured by Cao Cao. So now, judging and guarding the North Sea, how can you say that you can keep it for a while? Even if Beihai City is not as majestic as Yecheng, and the city is not that big, to say the least, there is no problem to defend it for a month or two, right?

Well, it's not.

Cao Cao in history, he did not have all the siege equipment that the New Han Army has now, even if there will be some, but it is not as elite as the current siege equipment of the New Han Army.

Anyway, the siege of the New Han army is no longer the kind of conventional siege warfare in ancient times, and there are very few forced sieges to attack the city. Instead, he made full use of his advantages and strengths, and directly beat the defenders of the city without the slightest strength to fight back.

The New Han army attacked the city, not once and a half. Which time didn't you completely press the defenders to fight?

Or it can also be said that in this ancient era, the siege equipment possessed by the New Han Army does not dare to say that it has surpassed this era, but, in general, it is indeed because of science and technology, it has been advanced in nature. At the very least, it has been improved, so that the effect of all siege equipment is much stronger than that of the original equipment.

Therefore, when Tai Shi Ci led the army to come, Gongsun Du's military horses had already cleared the outer fortifications of Beihai City. Tai Shi Ci directly set up a formation under Beihai City, and directly launched an oppressive attack on Beihai City. (To be continued.) )
