Gongsun Zan took his own soldiers and tried his best to fight out of the heavy encirclement of Jizhou soldiers and horses, which rushed to the city of Yijing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The arrows on Yi Jingcheng rained down and repelled the pursuers behind, and it was not easy to bring Gongsun Chan and the hundreds of people he led into the city.

As soon as Gongsun Chan entered the city, he couldn't support it, he only felt a flower in front of him, his body kept calling, and he fell off the horse's back on his back.

By the time Gongsun Chan woke up again, it was already the next day. Now in Gongsun Zhan's big tent, Liu Weitai, Guan Jing and others are anxiously waiting for him to wake up under the tent. Gongsun Zhan got up slowly and asked, "How many soldiers and horses have returned from outside the city?" ”

Liu Weitai's face was miserable, and he said, "Big brother, less than 3,000 people were killed last night. The third and fourth children were not in the chaos. ”

Gongsun Chan let out a long sigh when he heard this, but he refused to admit that he was wrong. Then he asked, "How many defenders are there in the city?" ”

Liu Weitai said, "The soldiers and horses in the city, plus the wounded soldiers who returned, can barely make up the number of 10,000. ”

After hearing this, Gongsun Zhan said to Guan Jing, "Let all the young and strong people in the city go to the city to guard, and make up enough for 20,000!" If these people are lost, then the old and the young, the women and the children, are also driven to the city. He Yuan Shao wants to take away my Yi Jing, then I will fight with him to the death!"

Gongsun Zhan said that, Liu Yong and Guan Jing below couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Neither of them dared to persuade Gongsun Zan at this time, so they were ordered to prepare. I only hope that after a few days, Gongsun Chan will be sober before discussing countermeasures with him.

*************************************************************************

Gongsun Xu's reinforcements arrived, but he didn't know about Gongsun Zhan's ambush. He first let his soldiers and horses and Wang Dangsun Qing's 5,000 cavalry ambush nearby, and then ordered scouts to go around to find out the news. And he himself led his cronies to prepare to send a signal to the city at night, agreeing to break through the camp of Jizhou soldiers and horses.

Because Yuan Shao deliberately induced Gongsun to be fooled, the news of the war the day before yesterday was very tightly blocked. In Yuan Shao's opinion, since he escaped Gongsun Chan that day, he must capture Gongsun Chan alive this time, so he is not afraid that Gongsun Chan will not comply.

Gongsun Zhan lost most of his soldiers and horses from that day, and after losing his two brothers, he was depressed all day long, just living on wine. He didn't see the generals under his command, nor did he see his wife and children, so he locked himself in the tallest building in Yijing City, drank all day long, got drunk and woke up, woke up and drunk.

And his temperament began to become obedient, and the servants and maids beside him, as long as there was a slight disobedience to his heart, he would kill at every turn.

Changshi Guan Jing couldn't persuade Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Zhan's second brother Liu Weitai couldn't persuade him either. There are now only more than 10,000 remnants of soldiers and 20,000 people in the city, and there are still 100,000 soldiers and horses besieging the city outside the city. It's just because the enemy hasn't launched a general attack yet, otherwise this Yijing City would have been broken a long time ago.

On this day, Gongsun Zhan, who was drinking on this day, suddenly heard a report from his own soldiers, saying that a bonfire had been lit again on the mountain thirty miles outside the city, as if to send a signal to the city.

Gongsun Zan slammed the wine glass after hearing this, and scolded with a smile, "Yuan Shaopifu, since you have already deceived me once, do you have to repeat the old trick?" Speaking of this, Gongsun Chan suddenly thought that Yuan Shao didn't have such a stupid reason, so only Gongsun Xu was the one who sent the signal this time.

He originally thought that he would hold the city, but then he suddenly found that his son had returned with reinforcements, but he did not know the situation in the city. Now is no time to think about your own safety, but to think about how to notify your children.

When Gongsun Chan thought of this, he immediately wanted to discuss with the generals in a hurry, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't want to call people. He thought to himself, what if you call them here? Now there are no available soldiers in the city, you can't beat it, you can't defend it, Yuan Shao didn't come to attack the city, but he was afraid that he was waiting for his son to take the bait. When the time comes, there will be no reinforcements outside, and there will be no morale inside, and this Yi Jing is afraid that he will break himself if he does not attack.

The more Gongsun Chan thought about it, the more pessimistic he became, and he just died, but Gongsun Xu couldn't die, and Gongsun Xu was the only incense heir of his Gongsun family. Gongsun Chan suddenly gave a strange order when he thought of this. He ordered the guards around him to guard all the exits of the tall building, and locked the door outside, not allowing anyone to enter or leave. Then he ordered them to pile up straw downstairs and set fire to the building. The guards didn't dare to admit at first, but after Gongsun Chan killed a few people, they had no choice but to take the order.

And Gongsun Chan looked at the raging flames downstairs, haha University, it seemed that it was someone else's. Guan Jing and Liu Weitai rushed to hear the news, but it was too late to order someone to put out the fire. They had to shout Gongsun Zhan's name downstairs, crying like a mourner.

When Gongsun Chan saw them upstairs, he didn't say a word, but just broke all the wine jars in the house and lit a fire on the top floor at night.

*************************************************************************

Gongsun Xu and his soldiers and horses were originally going to join forces with the people in the city and attack Yuan Shao. Who knew that he suddenly saw the tallest city tower in Yijing on fire. He knew that it was where his father lived, and if there was only one situation when the fire started, he was afraid that Yijing City would be breached.

But he didn't want to believe that he had worked so hard to get here, but in the end he still didn't catch up. No, I'll have to go back and see what's going on in the city. Thinking of this, Gongsun continued to send his horse back and summoned the generals to discuss.

Yijing City is on fire, and now you don't have to be on the mountain to see it. Gongsun continued to say that he would attack immediately, and the king looked embarrassed in his face. "Major General, it's true that we are here to rescue, but we are not here to die. Now Yuan Shao's 100,000 troops are all under Yijing City, which shows that General Zhang Yan's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao was unsuccessful. And now that the city is on fire, I am afraid that Yi Jing has been broken, and it will be a senseless sacrifice to attack again at this time. ”

Gongsun continued to be furious when he heard this, "I went to Montenegro to ask for help, Yan Shuai asked you to wait to listen to my orders, and now I want to attack, but you are prevaricating for some reason, but you are greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”

Sun on the side was very dissatisfied when he heard it, and he spoke in his heart, we are here to help after all. My Yan Shuai has never spoken harshly to us, but your doll is so unkind, which annoyed the uncle and me, so we led the troops to Montenegro. Then he said: "Young General, although we listen to your orders, we can't ignore the lives of those brothers under our command. Moreover, attacking at this time is obviously a sheep into the mouth of a tiger, and we cannot obey the order of sending us to death. ”

Gongsun continued to be so angry that his lips turned purple, and he was speechless for a long time, "You-you-".

Next to Leping said: "Big brother, after you go to the mountain to send a signal to the city, the city is on fire, if it is not for the destruction of Yi Jingcheng, I am afraid that the city deliberately warned us, do you say that the city told us not to go to help?" ”

When Gongsun continued to hear this, he also groaned slightly, and then thought about it and said, "Even so, you have to try it, if the city originally needed us to rescue, but we obviously arrived in the city, but we didn't save each other, I can't teach me to regret it." ”

Li Dare listened and said, "What the eldest brother said also makes sense, so it's better to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to kill the generals, and the five thousand soldiers and horses of the two generals Wang Dang and Sun Qing are preparing on the periphery." If we really enter the city tomorrow, then we will agree that the night after tomorrow, we will attack Yuan Shao's siege array inside and outside. If we enter the battle and fall into an ambush by the enemy, then it will be convenient for us to break through with the two generals Wang Dang and Sun Qing taking care of us outside. ”

Gongsun Xu felt that what Li dared to mention was very suitable. Gongsun continued to talk about this method to Wang Dang and Sun Qing, and the two of them felt that they could accept it. After all, they came all the way, and if they didn't fight a battle, they would not be able to explain to Zhang Yan if they went back. However, Wang Dang had an extra heart, and immediately sent a fast horse to pass the news to Zhang Yan, so as to determine the next step.

Due to the fire in the city, Gongsun Xu could not wait until the next day to attack. He immediately summoned Li Kang and Leping to lead three thousand white horses, and rushed towards Yuan Shao's military camp.

The fire in the tallest building in Yijing was not only seen by Gongsun Xu, but also by all the people in Yuan Shao's camp. At first, Yuan Shao was also surprised, and he didn't know why. I don't know which one Gongsun Chan played, whether he wanted to go out of the city to kill a fish and die in the net, or to take advantage of the chaos to break through. Yuan Shao asked the soldiers and horses of each battalion to gather urgently and wait for the battle.

But after a while, no one came out, and Yuan Shao was also puzzled.

This is Yuan Shao only heard a burst of chaos in the back, and he didn't know where to kill a cavalry. Yuan Shao's men were originally staring at the direction of Yi Jingcheng, but at this time, the sudden appearance of cavalry from behind scared them. And I don't know if the men and horses in the city will be killed, so they don't dare to turn around and deal with the cavalry behind.

It was when Jizhou was unprepared that the 3,000 cavalry led by Gongsun Xu actually entered Yuan Shao's camp at once. However, the advantage of cavalry is to charge, and once it enters the enemy's formation, it is difficult to get out. Although Gongsun Xu's Bai Ma Yi was an elite, it was difficult to break out of the heavy camp of Yuan Shao's army.

At this time, Liu Weitai and Guan Jing in Yijing City looked at the high-rise buildings that were about to burn down, and their faces were like earth. Gongsun Chan obviously can't survive, and his wife and daughter are all in the building, it seems that he has a heart of death.

But what should this Yijing City do now?

They can't hold it, not to mention that Gongsun Chan is dead, even if Gongsun Chan is there, they will have no chance of victory. But if it is said to surrender, Guan Jing and Liu Yong are not willing to this unrighteous name. So the two just looked at each other and said nothing.

At this time, a soldier suddenly came to report, and a fight broke out outside the city. The two were stunned at first, and then shocked. Liu Weitai shouted badly, "It's the young master who came back with the rescuers." ”

Liu Weitai didn't have time to think about it, and said to Guan Jing, I will order all the cavalry in the city to meet the young master. If we can come back, we'll do it together. If he can't come back, Brother Guan Jing will lead Yi Jing's soldiers and horses to surrender.

After Liu Weitai finished speaking, he ordered the only more than 2,000 cavalry in the city and rushed out. Originally, the Jizhou soldiers and horses defended very tightly in the direction of Yijing, but now when they saw that someone in the city finally came out, they immediately formed a formation to block the attack.

Liu Weitai knew that he couldn't do it this time, and he only hoped to create some opportunities for Gongsun Xu to rush into battle this time. He was afraid that Gongsun would continue to break into this dead end, and he couldn't tell him the truth about Gongsun Zhan's death before the battle, so he was also very anxious. Suddenly, he had an idea, and asked the soldiers beside him to sing the military song of Youzhou at the same time. The song is desolate and is sung only after each great war, when the dead robes are commemorated.
