Chapter 70: Jizhou Reinforcements
In Jizhou, Yuan Shao led an army of 50,000 on the way to Bohai City, he had learned that all his people had fled and were rushing to Jizhou City, he was a little relieved, after all, his two sons were out of danger.
However, he couldn't figure out why his eldest son, Yuan Tan, would stay in such a dangerous place as Bohai City.
Yuan Shao turned his head and asked: "When will Gongsun Zhan's army be able to reach Bohai City, and how many days will our army be able to reach Bohai City?" ”
Frustrated and calculated, his face sank, and he arched his hand: "Lord, Gongsun Zhan's army should have arrived yesterday, and it should have attacked the city at this time, and it will take at least ten days for our army to arrive at the city of Bohai." ”
"That's good." Yuan Shao's facial features were a little distorted, and he complained.
Fu Zhu knew that Yuan Tan was in Bohai, and he knew in his heart that Bohai City would be broken, and he also planned detailed tactics for Yuan Shao to fight with Gongsun Zhan's army, but it was a strategy to abandon Bohai City.
Because he thought that even if Guo Jia had a genius, it would be impossible for him to rely on the small city of Bohai to block Gongsun Zhan's 100,000 army with 4,000 soldiers.
Although the lack of siege equipment of Gongsun Zhan's army and the small size of Bohai City, the 100,000 troops under Gongsun Zhan's command could not all attack the city, but he knew that Gongsun Chan could use wheel tactics to attack the city day and night, although there would be heavy losses, but Bohai City would be broken.
It's just that such a price is too great, and Gongsun Chan will not be like this easily.
Frustrated and inferred, Gongsun Zan wants to swallow whales, one, this, read # novel xstxt Jizhou's strategic thinking, if Bohai City is not broken within three days, it must be stormed day and night at any cost, because Bohai City is at the junction of Jizhou and Youzhou, and its strategic awareness is very important.
It can be said that it is desirable to enter the land and retreat to defend the city.
Guo Tu has the pleasure of revenge in his heart, and he knows very well the news from Tanma in the past few days that Guo Jia did not abandon the city and fled, but stayed in Bohai City to defend the city, and Gongsun Zhan's vanguard army, 20,000 light cavalry has come to the city, at that time Guo Jia just wanted to escape, I am afraid there is no such opportunity.
"Guo Fengxiao, after this battle, I will definitely look for your head and sacrifice my people!" Guo Tu said angrily in his heart.
Ignoring the Malay newspaper: "Guo Taishou led the Bohai Navy to destroy 20,000 enemy pioneers and behead 2,000!" ”
Everyone was shocked, Guo Tu quickly stepped forward and instantly dragged the scout under the horse and asked, "What did you say?" Gongsun Chan's vanguard defeated? ”
The scout was a little frightened, and returned with his hand: "Great victory, great victory, Guo Taishou broke 20,000 enemy vanguards and beheaded 2,000!" ”
The scout thought that Guo Tu had heard that Guo Jia had been defeated, and recounted Guo Jia's achievements.
"Good!" Yuan Shao was overjoyed and said: "Guo Fengxiao is worthy of being my confidant, he has 4,000 infantry, defeated 20,000 enemies, killed 2,000, and strengthened my Jizhou army!" ”
In that battle, Guo Jia led the soldiers and civilians in the city a few days ago to scare off the 20,000 light cavalry under Shan Jing's command, but it would take some time for the scout to return to Yuan Shao.
"Guo is Meng Lang, please punish the lord." Guo Tu woke up in an instant and hurriedly apologized.
Guo Tu was still dreaming of finding Guo Jia's corpse in his heart, and suddenly heard that Guo Jia had destroyed the enemy's army by 20,000, he was very unwilling, and he was even more unwilling to believe such a result, he wanted Guo Jia to die to relieve the hatred in his heart.
His unwillingness made him lose his mind in an instant, and he made such a ridiculous act just now, after all, he was a strategist under Yuan Shao's account, and it was a big sin for him to show disappointment when he heard the great victory of his army.
Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said: "I know what you think in your heart, go down and get twenty military sticks, if it weren't for the great victory of our army, you would have sacrificed the military flag!" ”
"Thank you, my lord!" Guo Tuzuo bowed and thanked him, and after beating the horse to the army, he led the army with a stick.
"There are 4,000 remnants of the army fighting 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the manpower is beyond reach." Guo Tu calmed down on horseback, he also knew that he had a gaffe just now, and he firmly believed that Guo Jia would definitely die this time, because he knew that unless Guo Jia was an immortal, he would only be defeated when Gongsun Zhan's army pressed the border.
Although there is a large army rushing to help at this moment, it will take at least ten days to rush to the bottom of Bohai City, and Guo Jia will definitely die by then, Guo Tu firmly believes this in his heart.
"Youzhou rats are vulnerable, his grandson Zan is known as the unparalleled iron cavalry in the world, but 20,000 light cavalry was broken by 4,000 infantry of our army, only to see Youzhou are all wine bags and rice bags!" Yuan Shao laughed.
He was very happy at the moment, as if he saw hope, the hope of his eldest son Yuan Tan to live, and the hope of his henchman Guo Jia to live!
"The lord must not get carried away, the survey is to report the battle situation a few days ago, and it is not yet known whether Bohai City has been broken by Gongsun Zhan's army at this moment." Tian Feng interjected.
Yuan Shao glared at Tian Feng angrily, how could he not know that the Tanma report was the battle situation a few days ago, and he said such a bold statement at this moment was naturally to inspire the soldiers under his command, so that they could understand that Gongsun Zhan of Youzhou was a man with wine bags and rice bags.
Tian Feng turned a blind eye and continued to give his hand: "Guo Fengxiao's spirit is too strong, and he is even more self-defeating, the vanguard of Gongsun Zhan's army is defeated, the army's morale is turbulent, and the morale is low. ”
Yuan Shao was a little speechless by Tian Feng's words, he was only happy just now but didn't think about the details, he turned his head to look at Fu Zhi and asked, "What is your opinion?" ”
Frustrated with a beard, after careful consideration, he said: "Whether you can hold Bohai City depends on today, that Gongsun Chan will definitely attack today, if the city is broken, he has waved the army Boling has threatened our army's capital Xindu, if he can't take the city, the army's heart is turbulent, Guo Fengxiao may hold on to our army's help." ”
"For today's plan, an elite light cavalry should be sent to force the army to support Bohai quickly, if the Bohai city is broken at that time, the elite light cavalry will hold on to the spot, and it is already waiting for the army to fight to the death with Gongsun Zhan." He added.
Yuan Shao said: "Good, what do you have any doubts? ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!" Tian Feng, Feng Ji, Xu You, and other strategists all seconded the proposal.
Yuan Shao said again: "Send Yan Liang to lead 10,000 light horsemen to support Bohai quickly. ”
Tian Feng waved his hand to stop him: "The lord can't!" ”
"Huh?" Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng with an inquiring look on his face.
Tian Feng said again: "General Yan is brave and unstrategic, he can't lead an army alone, and he should send resourceful people to go with him." ”
At this moment, Yuan Shao really wanted to go up and kick Tian Feng's feet, are you insulting Yan Liang, or insulting me, Yan Hao is also the number one general under my command, since he doesn't even have the ability to lead the troops alone, wouldn't it make the world laugh if he said it.
He just wanted to reprimand Tian Feng, but suddenly thought of the words that Guo Jia usually said in his ear, "Don't be arbitrary, the Lord should gather everyone's strategy, if it is not a hundred thousand urgent things, you need to think twice, ask three questions, think twice, and make decisions." ”
Yuan Shao calmed down, smiled at Tian Feng, and instead turned his head to look at others and asked, "What do you want?" ”
Feng Ji said: "Brother Yuan Hao's words are reasonable, and I hope that the lord will think twice." ”
"The minister seconded the proposal." Others seconded it.
"Well, in order to be sure, it should be the same." Yuan Shao made up his mind in his heart, and said with a whip: "Send Fu Zhi as the prison army, and quickly support Bohai with Yan Liang!" ”
