Crossing a mountain, the mountain road gets narrower and narrower. Gongsun Du's army could not pass, and could only be divided into small soldiers to pass through the narrow official road. The official road was overgrown with withered grass branches, looking at the woods on both sides, Gongsun Du felt worried.

Gongsun Du is not an incompetent person, and when he saw Tao Yingxiu's official way, he knew that he must have calculated to this day. If you let half of your army cross the mountain, you will generally stay on the north side of the mountain, set up an ambush on the mountain, and then let the cavalry cut off your own back road, and you will definitely lose the battle.

Thinking of this, when the vanguard had just entered the mountain, Gongsun Du hesitated for a long time, but still let the military horses withdraw from the mountain and make a detour.

The soldiers complained a lot, and if they didn't go through it from here, if they wanted to go to Yingkou, they would have to walk nearly a hundred miles, and even if they arrived at Yingkou, the soldiers would be exhausted.

The soldier just wanted to retreat, and suddenly killed a troop of soldiers and horses from the woods next to him, and the soldier waved a high-character banner, and it turned out to be Gao Shun's trapped camp!

The trapped camp is lying in ambush in the woods next to it, waiting for Gongsun Du to enter the mountain! Seeing that Gongsun Du was not fooled, Gao Shun didn't want to delay the fighter, so when the other party was not in chaos, he led the troops to kill!

The trap camp was divided into two parts, hiding in the woods on both sides of the road, and when a huge cannon fire rang out, the trap camps in the woods on both sides were killed. Gongsun Du hurriedly let the soldiers and horses on both sides meet the battle.

The two armies and horses went forward to resist the trapping camp, and Gongsun Du hurriedly asked the Chinese army to retreat. When the Chinese army retreated, a huge cannon sound was heard, and three cannon shots were heard in a row on the mountain, and suddenly the rear army came to report, and the cavalry who had been wearing a grimace mask came from the rear, and the soldiers were difficult to resist!

Gongsun Du hurriedly led the Chinese army to the west, and the trapping camp quickly defeated Gongsun Du's front men and horses with the sharpness of their weapons, Gao Shun's strategy and the help of artillery.

Tai Shici also led the Shiting army to rush down from the mountain, destroying more than 1,000 of the nearly 3,000 men and horses entering the mountain road and capturing more than 2,000 people. and killed the vanguard general of Gongsun Du.

Losing the former army, Gongsun Du escaped from the west by virtue of the advantage of being outnumbered. Zhao Yun led the Tianwei army to wait for Gongsun Du halfway, seeing that Gongsun Du nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses were coming, Zhao Yun did not dare to meet the enemy head-on, so he led the cavalry to take advantage of his lack of fighting intentions and chased and killed Gongsun Du in the back.

Gongsun Du didn't know how many soldiers and horses Zhao Yun had, and when he saw the banner of the Tianwei Army, some people said that this was the most elite cavalry in Xuzhou, Cao Cao was also afraid, and the soldiers and horses in Liaodong were even more afraid, and many generals who couldn't escape hurriedly led the crowd to surrender.

After this battle, Zhao Yun led more than 1,000 Tianwei troops in pursuit and captured nearly 2,000 enemy troops!

By the time Gongsun Du fled back to Fang County, the number of military horses had been reduced from more than 40,000 to less than 20,000. The rest of the rout scattered in all directions, and they didn't know where they had gone. When Gongsun Du dragged his tired body to Fang County, Fang County had already changed to the flag of Xuzhou.

Seeing that someone was coming to Fang County, Ji Ling, the guard of Fang County, hurriedly led 2,000 men and horses out of the city to kill them. Seeing a group of soldiers and horses from afar, Gongsun Du hurriedly arranged his troops, and now he had to take Fang County, and then adjust and wait for the arrival of the rout, and then fight with Tao Ying.

After sending troops to set up the formation, he saw from a distance a person with a three-pointed and two-edged knife coming out to challenge, and Gongsun Du asked whose soldiers and horses robbed his Fang County. Ji Ling stepped forward to talk, and when he heard that it was Ji Ling, the number one general under Yuan Shu, Gongsun Du had a few spirits in his heart.

Gongsun Du wanted to leave, but when his subordinate Ai General heard that it was Ji Ling, he stepped forward and sneered: "Who is my Dao, it turned out to be the general of the rebel Yuan Shu." Thou shalt not be able to protect it, but once again he will be disgraced! ”

When Ji Ling heard this, he scolded and was about to kill Gongsun Du's generals, and Gongsun Du's favorite general Yangyi also disagreed with Ji Ling, thinking that Ji Ling was just famous, and he wanted to kill him for meritorious service!

So Yang Yi also rode to the front of the battle and fought with Ji Ling. The two went to town, and Gongsun Du also wanted to kill Ji Ling to inspire people's hearts, so he personally cheered with the horse thunder drum.

As soon as the two horses fought, a broadsword and a three-pointed two-edged knife struck together. The two of you went back and forth, and after nearly 20 rounds, Yang Yi gradually weakened. Knowing that Ji Ling in front of him was really not boasting, Yang Yi wanted to leave.

Yang Yi made a false move and left, where did he think that Ji Ling's war horse was a big-name horse, which was personally rewarded to him by Tao Ying, and where did Yangyi's horse run away.

felt that a gust of wind was coming from behind, and Ji Ling stabbed Yang Yi in the back with a blade, and picked Yang Yi off the horse with one knife and stabbed him to death on the ground.

General Yangyi was beheaded by Ji Ling in more than 30 rounds, Gongsun Du was furious, Ji Ling led the troops to kill Gongsun Du, if Gongsun Du was fought at this time, Ji Ling would set up the first merit of this northern expedition, and the glory and wealth can be imagined at that time!

The more important thing is that if Gongsun Du is beheaded, Ji Ling will definitely be able to gain a foothold in Xuzhou in the future, and the generals of Yuan Shu's faction will also take advantage of the trend!

So Ji Ling didn't care about life and death and went to Gongsun Du, Gongsun Du lost several battles in a row, this battle, he broke the general again, he was angry, he had to lead the troops to leave, Ji Ling led the troops to pursue more than 50 miles, killing nearly 500 people, afraid that Gongsun Du had a plan, so he returned to Fang County.

When Gongsun Du led the troops back to Xinchang, his soldiers ran and scattered, and there were less than 10,000 people left.

When Gongsun Du arrived in Xinchang, he found that he had really entered the big pocket arranged by Tao Ying!

Tao Yingbei had nearly 20,000 troops and horses, plus 5,000 soldiers and horses in Yingkou and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses surrendered by Liu Zheng, and now there are nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses. At present, stationed at Yingkou is the 5,000 naval army led by Liu Zheng, the elite of the Gao Shun Trap camp guarding the mountains has 2,000 people, the Zhao Yun cavalry has 1,000 people, and the Hell Demon Army has a small cavalry team of 500 people.

Coupled with the 2,000 people in Jiling Town guarding Fang County, there are only more than 8,500 defenders in the mountain range.

Tao Ying deployed all the remaining 30,000 people on his way back. Therefore, when Gongsun Du led the troops to return to Xiangping from Xinchang, he had already entered a large encirclement as soon as he arrived at the Xiangping territory.

The time is soon in July, and July in the Northeast is still not as hot as in Xuzhou, and Xuzhou must have planted all the seeds of autumn!

Gongsun Du led the rout army to enter Xiangping, half of the army had just crossed the Daliang River, and suddenly a cannon rang out in the distance, hearing the cannon sound, Gongsun Du felt nervous in his heart, because this sound was too familiar to him!

"It's not good, the Xuzhou army is here again!"

There was a shout from the surrounding people, the soldiers rushed to cross the river, the bridge was crowded, many people were pushed off the bridge, and countless people fell into the water and died.

When the enemy crossed the river, he sent troops to attack it, which was the plan of the military advisor Liu Ye. After a cannon sounded, Zang Ba, the governor of the Northern Expedition, personally led an army of 5,000 to kill Gongsun Du from behind.

There were nearly 3,000 Liaodong troops crossing the river, but as soon as they crossed the river, they found that Wu Dun had led nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses to line up on the other side of the river and wait for them!
