Chapter 47 Gongsun Zhan's Fire Horse Night Attack

Between Jixian and Yicheng, the straight-line distance is only more than 100 miles, roughly equivalent to the distance between Beijing and Tianjin in later generations, 100,000 troops lined up in formation, and the mighty march was only half a day, and it was already killed under the city of Yicheng. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Liu Yu gave an order, and the 100,000 army quickly surrounded the small Yicheng group.

Yicheng was built by Gongsun Zhan privately, since he and Liu Yu had a conflict, although his name is Jihou and his food is also in Jixian County, he has never been to Jixian again.

Although Yicheng is called a city, it is more similar to the military town of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and most of the residents in the city are military households, not only will they not provide money and taxes for Gongsun Zhan, but they need Gongsun Zhan to provide them with bereavement compensation. Without Liu Yu to provide military supplies in the rear, Gongsun Chan immediately turned into a tiger trapped in a cage, wanting to bite people with teeth and claws, but it was difficult to move an inch.

Yicheng was built in a hurry, the height is no more than two zhang, the width is not more than three feet, the city wall can accommodate up to three people in parallel, plus there is not much grain in the city, and the equipment to defend the city is even few, which is not enough to hold on at all.

For this, Gongsun Chan also knows well, he has no intention of defending the city at all, his fighting style has never been defensive, but crazy attack, even if the enemy is ten times and a hundred times his time, he will blow the horn of the charge without blinking. He was like this when he fought against aliens in the northern frontier, and he is like this now.

Standing at the head of the city, looking at the overwhelming Youzhou army that seemed to have no bounds, Gongsun Zhan's eyes were not half afraid, but there was a crazy pleasure.

Yan Gang, who was standing beside Gongsun Zhan, was full of sorrow, there were 10,000 people, boundless, let alone 100,000 troops. Yan Gang is not a timid person, but in the face of such a huge formation of the Youzhou army, he still can't help but feel uneasy, and sighed: "Most of our army is scattered, and it is difficult to summon all of them back in a hurry, and in three days, there are only more than 3,000 people who can be used to fight." For today's plan, I can only grit my teeth and insist on waiting for Tian Kai to send troops to rescue! ”

Gongsun Chan sneered and asked, "Do you think we can hold it?" ”

Yan Gang looked embarrassed, and said with a forced smile: "If the three armies are united, although they may not be able to defend Yicheng, they should always be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive, right?" ”

The smile on Gongsun Zhan's face became even more indifferent, "Do you think we still have reinforcements?" ”

Yan Gang was shocked, and then said firmly: "Tian Kai is a loyal man, the lord has more life-saving grace for him, and the last general firmly believes that Tian Kai will never turn his back on the lord!" ”

Gongsun Zhan shook his head and said: "Tian Kai naturally won't betray me, but, don't forget, from Congqingzhou to Yicheng, Bohai is a must-pass place." The situation between Han Jun and me is like fire and water, how can you easily let Tian Kai go north? ”

Yan Gang gritted his teeth and said: "Han Junxiao'er brought all the elite soldiers to Bingzhou, and the people who stayed in the Bohai Sea were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they could never be Tian Kai's opponents!" ”

Gongsun Chan didn't seem to be in the mood to continue this topic, took a deep breath, looked at the sunset hanging in the sky, and slowly asked, "Have you ever heard of the Kunyang Victory?" ”

Yan Gang's eyes lit up, his spirit was also lifted, and he nodded: "This is natural, Emperor Guangwu defeated more with less, defeated the strong with weak, and broke the new reckless thief army of as many as 400,000 with only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and also laid a solid foundation for the revival of the Han Dynasty." ”

Gongsun Chan asked again: "Then do you know why the new Mang army failed?" ”

Yan Gang replied without thinking about it: "Xin Reckless has no way, acting against the sky, and because Emperor Guangwu has the help of heaven, he is invincible." ”

Gongsun Chan sneered, shook his head and said, "This is the view of Confucianism!" ”

Yan Gang scratched his head in confusion, his face full of doubt.

Gongsun Chan slapped the city wall hard and said: "There are three reasons for the defeat of Xin Mang!" First, Wang Yi despised Emperor Guangwu, who was not famous at the time, and his lack of preparation led to the final wavering of the army's morale. Second, all the troops should not be used to besiege Kunyang City. Kunyang City is small, so the strength advantage of the new Mang army is completely impossible to play. Third, since ancient times, the siege of the city has besieged three queyi, but Wang Yi has surrounded Kunyang City, and the defenders in the city have no way to escape, so they can only fight to the death! ”

Yan Gang thoughtfully followed Gongsun Zhan's gaze towards the city, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Gongsun Chan laughed and said: "Today's Liu Yu made the same mistake as Wang Yi back then, if I can't seize this opportunity to get rid of it in one fell swoop, wouldn't I have failed the opportunity given by God?" ”

On a high slope, Liu Yu also looked at Yicheng from afar, sighed slightly in his heart and said to the generals of the armies around him: "The scout is here, now that Gongsun Zhan is in this Yicheng, do you have any good strategies to break the city and capture the thieves?" ”

Xian Yufu arched his hand and said: "The art of war is cloudy, surrounded by three ques, and there is no way to survive." The last general thought that when a large army attacked the city, it must not be surrounded on all sides. Although there are not many soldiers and horses left under the command of Gongsun Zhan, they are all brave men, if they are trapped and fighting, it will make it more difficult for our army to attack the city! ”

"It's unfounded!"

Wei You snorted coldly, and arched his hand with fluttering sleeves: "Our army has 100,000 heavenly soldiers, and Xiaoxiao Yicheng only has a few thousand soldiers who can fight, and there is a huge disparity between the forces of the enemy and us. My Youzhou Heavenly Soldier can drown Xiao Yicheng with a mouthful of spit, how can I be afraid that his grandson will jump off the wall in a hurry? If it is surrounded by Sanque Yi, if Gongsun Zhan takes advantage of the gap and escapes, the labor is useless, can General Xianyu afford this responsibility? ”

Xian Yufu's face was blue and white for a while, and he snorted and stopped talking, not that he was exhausted, but he knew very well that the main and only purpose of Liu Yuxing's soldiers was Gongsun Zhan, if he really ran away from Gongsun Zhan, then even if he captured Yicheng, it would be useless.

Liu Yu sighed slightly, and said slowly: "The people of Yicheng are also the people of my Youzhou. The army of Yicheng is also the army of Youzhou. The person who did this rebellion was Sun Zhan, the great harm of Youzhou, and the civilian soldiers were all innocent, and our army should not cause more casualties. Orders the armies not to hurt the people in the slightest, let alone to create more evil, once it is found that the people are poisoned, the arson and looters will be killed! It's getting late today, it's not conducive to attacking the city, repair it overnight, and tomorrow morning it will be a gold siege! ”

Liu Yu's choice can't be said to be wrong, after all, in ancient times, unless there were special circumstances, he would not generally fight at night, but it was a pity that he met Gongsun Zhan, who risked his life this time, and he was also doomed to a tragic fate.

The night was dark, the moon was dark and the stars were sparse, and the Youzhou army camp had fallen into a deep sleep, and the rapid march of the whole day made most of the soldiers tired, and they fell asleep as soon as their heads touched the pillow.

It's not that no one has reminded Liu Yu to beware of Gongsun Zhan's attack on the camp, but Liu Yu didn't take it to heart. After all, he had never led a battle before, his lack of experience, and the chance of victory in his hands made it inevitable that there would be a trace of negligence.

At the gate of Yicheng, Gongsun Chan was fully dressed, his eyes were like ice, and behind him, there were also more than 1,000 warriors in full clothes, although Bai Ma Yicong lost a lot in Jizhou, but there were still more than 1,000 people left, enough for Gongsun Chan to fight to the death!

"Kaejo, ignition!"

Gongsun Chan took a deep breath, clenched the spear in his hand, and ordered in a deep voice.

Directly in front of Gongsun Zhan, more than 2,000 fiery horses with their tails on fire neighed in pain and galloped out aimlessly towards the wilderness outside.

Gongsun Zhan drew his spear, shouted, and rushed out towards the big tent of the Chinese army of the Youzhou army. Behind him, more than a thousand white horse Yicong threw away all their fears and followed closely behind Gongsun Chan with the sporadic firelight.

There is no shortage of horses in the land of Youyan, especially under the premise that Gongsun Chan has already given up his life, and he will no longer care about the lives of horses.

Liu Yu had a lot of things to worry about, and he just fell asleep in the second half of the night, but before he could fall asleep, he heard a drum noise coming from the ground, and he was shocked where he could still take care of sleeping.

"What's going on out there? Hurry forward to find out, no matter who is making noise in the middle of the night, it must not be spared! ”

Up to now, Liu Yu never thought that Gongsun Chan would dare to attack the camp, but simply thought that there was a problem with his own soldiers and horses. Liu Yu didn't know that in a desperate situation, people would do things that were ten times crazier than usual. There were only a few thousand soldiers and horses in Gongsun Zhan's city, and in Liu Yu's opinion, it was not enough to defend the city, and it was impossible to take the risk of going out of the city to attack.

Liu Yu is an excellent politician, but he is not a qualified military strategist. And his opponent, Gongsun Zhan, is an out-and-out war maniac. In comparison, Liu Yu's failure is not so surprising.

The fire horse stepped on the company camp, which already made the Youzhou army panic, not to mention the murderous white horse who followed closely behind.

The painful fire horse ran aimlessly, but Gongsun Zhan's goal has always been clear, that is, Liu Yu's Chinese army tent.

Gongsun Zan knew very well in his heart that although Liu Yu could not resist on his shoulders and could not lift it in his hands, he was the soul of the 100,000 Youzhou army, as long as he could control Liu Yu, it would be equivalent to controlling the 100,000 army.

Under the decisive assault of the White Horse Yicong, the Youzhou army, which had barely been on the battlefield, was quickly collapsed, one by one lost their armor and abandoned their armor, and the four fields fled, and the sound of crying shook the heavens and the earth, only hating his father and mother for missing two legs.

Gongsun Zhan naturally didn't bother to pay attention to them, an army of 100,000, even if they lined up to kill them, I am afraid that they would be killed until dawn with more than a thousand white horses.

It is getting closer and closer to Liu Yu's Chinese army tent, and Gongsun Zhan's tiger eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and he knows very well in his heart that once Liu Yu is captured alive, the huge Youzhou will have to obey his orders from now on.

Although Gongsun Chan was only forced to fight back, he had not been plotting for the position of the lord of Youzhou for a day or two, otherwise he would not have been able to have such a stalemate with Liu Yu!
