Chapter 522: The Only Chance

Yuan Shao's face changed again, and his face showed no Yang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Retreating to Yijing means giving up the entire Jizhou, this land, but the essence of Hebei, and it is also the biggest capital he relied on to start.

"Lord, the situation is changing rapidly, there is no time to hesitate anymore, Yi Jing is our only hope to stop Zhang Yuanbingfeng, let's make a decision quickly. Don't miss this great opportunity," he arched his hand, almost persuading in a crying voice.

The word Yi Jing appeared in Yuan Shao's mind.

Back then, Gongsun Chan relied on the strong Yijing defense line, and it took him a whole year, if it wasn't for Gongsun Chan's own death, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to break through that fortress at all.

Yi Jing is a stronger existence than Liyang.

Gradually, Yuan Shao's flustered emotions calmed down, and the Yijing City seemed to let him see hope.

After a long silence, Yuan Shao took a deep breath, and his face returned to coldness, "Order, the whole army retreats to Yijing." ”

The decision had been made, Yuan Shao did not dare to hesitate a little, immediately abandoned the township, led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and hurriedly fled in the direction of Liangzhou in the north.

Not long after Yuan Shao left the township, Zhang Yuan's army had already driven north from Handan, and captured the empty city two days later.

Zhang Yuan had already seen that Yuan Shao had clearly recognized the situation and knew that he could not hold Jizhou, so he planned to flee to Liangzhou.

He immediately sent Pegasus to give orders to Li Cunxiao's generals, ordering them to immediately set out from the river, and the city along the way was not attacked, and directly took Lunu, the seat of Zhongshan State, in order to cut off Yuan Shao's escape route to Liangzhou.

Zhang Yuan himself was non-stop, and on the day of conquering Chengxiang, he immediately led the main force of troops and horses to drive north, and followed Yuan Shao all the way to pursue.

The two soldiers and horses chased all the way, chasing for seven days and seven nights, and finally caught up to Lunu City.

Along the way, Zhongshan, Bolu, and Hejian counties all descended from the wind.

It's a pity that Yuan Shao slipped away quickly, and still escaped from the encirclement one step ahead of him.

Zhang Yuan had just entered Lunu City on his front foot, and he sent back information that Yuan Shao had led the remnants of his army and retreated into Yijing, making a posture of sticking to Yijing together.

"Yijing is a place, at the junction of the two states of Youji, south of Yishui, north of Juma Shui, can be said to be the key of Liangzhou, Gongsun Chan relied on Yijing City, and Yuan Shao fought for a year, it seems that Yuan Laothief wants to learn from Gongsun Zhan." Touching the dragon pointed to the map and analyzed.

In Zhang Yuan's mind, the history of that year couldn't help but emerge.

A few years ago, Gongsun Zhan, who had been defeated repeatedly, in order to resist Yuan Shao's troops, mobilized a large number of people and material resources to build a strong defense line on the front line of Yijing, and dragged Yuan Shao for a whole year.

Later, if it weren't for Gongsun Zan himself who lost his fighting spirit and lost the heart of a soldier, with Yuan Shao's strength, he would not have had a chance to capture Yijing.

"Yi Jing's strength is far better than Liyang, if Yuan Shao is determined to defend Yi Jing, I am afraid that it will be a protracted battle." Qubei frowned.

"Grandma's, it's going to be a fierce battle again, it's been two battles, and it's going to be another battle." Li Dingguo muttered, as if there was a shadow in his heart.

Although all the generals are full of fighting spirit, they seem to be a little afraid of the legendary Yijing defense line in their words and expressions.

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, stood up slowly, and said proudly in his cold eyes, full of determination: "Yuan Shao's 150,000 army back then, how arrogant, we can all defeat it, and now he has reached the end of the road, even if there is a Yijing and Ruzhong, are you still afraid of him." ”

The unprecedented self-confidence, like a violent wind, blew away the hesitation in everyone's hearts, and the faces of the heroes gradually ignited a fierce fighting spirit.

Eagle eyes glanced around at the generals again, Zhang Yuan raised his voice, and said sharply: "Right now, Jizhou and Liangzhou have been captured by our army, and the remote places of the state, there is no need to worry, only Liangzhou can still compete with us, if we don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, the future will inevitably be endless, I have made up my mind, this should be Yijing, destroy Yuan Shao,"

The resolute oath of slaughter is shocking.

Li Dingguo was the first to be infected, jumped up, and shouted excitedly: "His grandmother's, it's just one step away, how can he give up and destroy the old thief Yuan,"

The rest of the generals responded with their arms raised, and the roar of "Destroy Yuan" echoed in the lobby like thunder.

Zhang Yuanyingwu's face was as proud as fire, he laughed wildly, and waved his hand: "The whole army will send troops to capture Yijing and destroy Yuan Shao,"

Yi Jing.

A group of tired soldiers of Yuan Jun walked through the ditches with their heads down, passed through the Daodao Dirt Mountain, and entered the Yijing defense line.

From Cheng Township, they followed Yuan Shao, didn't even have a chance to take a breath, fled for a few days and nights, and finally escaped from Ascension before the Zhou army was encircled, and fled to this long-abandoned barrier.

Running so wildly, their remaining physical strength and spirit have all been exhausted, and they are all exhausted, and it is difficult for them to even breathe.

The main city of Yijing.

Yuan Shao, who had a dusty face, stood under the city tower, looking around at the familiar scene, and his heart was full of emotion.

Revisiting the old place, he remembered Gongsun Zhan, an old rival.

I think that back then, it was here that he forced Gongsun Chan to a dead end, and forced the world-famous White Horse Gongsun to the point of committing suicide by setting fire to the city.

After capturing Yijing, when Yuan Shao and the princes Wu talked about Gongsun Zhan's gains and losses, he also sarcastically ridiculed Gongsun Zhan for having no vision and building a dead city, but forced himself into a desperate situation.

And now, only a few years later, the same scene has happened, and he is going to follow the old path of the man he laughed at.

In a trance, his eyes suddenly appeared in front of him, and the tragic scene of Gongsun Chan being burned to death in this Yijing City suddenly appeared.

For some reason, as soon as he thought of that picture, Yuan Shao shivered.

"Gonghe, do you really want to pin all your hopes on this line of defense," Yuan Shao looked back at Fu Zhi, and his tone showed unconfidence.

He was afraid.

Liyang defense line, Neicheng defense line, Ancheng defense line, Yecheng defense line

How much effort he spent, and none of the defensive lines he built could resist Zhang Yuan's soldiers, all of them ended in failure.

Failure after failure made him lose confidence in perseverance.

Frustrated with a solemn face: "Now we can only hold Liangzhou, it is possible to compete with Zhang Yuan, this Yijing to Liangzhou portal, once lost, Zhang Yuan's army can drive straight into the hinterland of Liangzhou, at that time we can not compete with Zhang Yuan, this Yijing is not a question of whether it can be held, it must be held,"

Yuan Shao took a light breath and nodded slightly in agreement.

Although he lacks self-confidence, he knows very well that now, Yi Jing has to keep it.
