Chapter Ninety-Two: A Horse Blocks the Way
After Gongsun Zhan Dongguang broke the million yellow scarves, he sent troops all the way from Guangchuan, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and the officials of Jizhou fell in sight, and soon the troops came to the city of Guangzong.
It's just because Gongsun Chan was defeated at the hands of Chen Nuo for a while last time, and the elite cavalry Bai Ma Yi has been in a slump, and this time he is a little jealous of Chen Nuo's fierce opponent, and he doesn't dare to rush forward carelessly. It's just that after several rendezvous battles with Yuan Shao, there is no trace of Chen Nuo, which inevitably makes Gongsun Chan feel worried in his heart, Yuan Shao didn't send Chen Nuo, did he want to use Chen Nuo as a killer weapon and stab him at a critical moment? This is not to be sloppy!
Although it is rumored that Yuan Shao will hide it after Chen Nuo returns to Guangzong, and he has returned to Yecheng, with Gongsun Zhan's understanding of Yuan Shao, it is completely possible, but before the matter is clear, he still does not dare to be careless.
At this moment, Gongsun Zhan suddenly received a secret letter, and someone revealed Chen Nuo's whereabouts to him.
The secret letter is not signed, and it is difficult to predict whether the matter is true or false, but this is not difficult for his grandson. Gongsun Zhan immediately sent a fine work, and after many investigations, he quickly got the seal. Chen Nuo was indeed transferred back to Yecheng by Yuan Shao to supervise grain.
With Chen Nuo's whereabouts, Gongsun Zhan's hanging heart was also slightly lowered.
The nightmare of the Battle of Guangchuan lingered, and Gongsun Chan was bound to kill Chen Nuo as soon as possible, and after mastering Chen Nuo's whereabouts, Gongsun Chan immediately arranged for men and horses to intercept and kill Chen Nuo. General Zou Dan, young and promising, first asked for battle, Gongsun Zan allowed it. His righteous brother Gongsun Fan, who wanted to avenge the humiliation of the night attack outside Guangchuan City, also asked for his life to fight, and Gongsun Chan allowed it.
Although Zou Dan is young, he is a rising star and has been reused by Gongsun Zhan, while Gongsun Fan regards himself as a cronie and does not take Zou Dan in his eyes. Although the two of them were ordered at the same time, they did not act at the same time. Zou Dan had troops and went first, while Gongsun Fan suffered serious losses due to Guangchuan's defeat and his morale was difficult to recover, so he had to follow.
Of course, this matter is not as simple as it seems. Although Gongsun Fan has few soldiers, he still has a cavalry of 300 people in his hands, as well as a small number of infantry, he let Zou Dan go first this time, naturally he wants to take advantage of the fisherman. He had suffered a loss at the hands of Chen Nuo, and he didn't dare to act imprudently, he asked Zou Dan to take the lead for him, and he waited for the opportunity to move behind. To put it bluntly, Gongsun Fan was delusional at this time to win with 'Qi', thinking of the story of the last time he was attacked by Chen Nuo's hundreds of horses, and wanted to emulate it.
And what Gongsun Fan brought out this time was the only three hundred horsemen left in his camp, which was bold enough. But the reason why Gongsun Fan dared to do this was naturally because of Zou Dan. The so-called people are not as good as the sky, Zou Dan has not yet come into contact with Chen Nuo, but first encountered hundreds of people from the first section of Liyi, since they were discovered by Liyi, Zou Dan had to launch an attack, hoping to annihilate it. There was a hot battle ahead, but Gongsun Fan ignored it, according to his horse exploration, Chen Nuo's men and horses happened to be resting on the way not far before, and he knew that his opportunity to make meritorious service had come.
Liyi's side is besieged, Chen Nuo will inevitably send rescue troops, as long as Chen Nuo sends troops and Zou Dan drags him back, then Gongsun Fan's opportunity to make meritorious contributions will come. Just as Gongsun Fan calculated, Chen Nuo naturally couldn't ignore the difficulties of his 'siblings', and quickly sent rescuers, while Gongsun Fan took the opportunity to attack him and launched a sneak attack on Chen Nuo.
If Chen Nuo was marching normally, Gongsun Fan certainly wouldn't dare to rush into the camp with three hundred horsemen, but Chen Nuo's task was to escort grain and grass, so it would be easy to deal with. Although Chen Nuo has a lot of men and horses, his grain and grass stretch for miles, the soldiers and horses are too scattered, and the main general is not there, which is the time for his grandson Fan Xiaowei. He led his three hundred Youzhou horsemen, came with fire, and hoped to burn Chen Nuo's grain transportation and let the enemy mess up, so that he could profit from it.
It stands to reason that Gongsun Fan's move has a great chance of success, but there is still a small deviation in the end. It was good that the main general Chen Nuo was transferred, and his men and horses also looked very flustered when they encountered his iron cavalry, and the first battle did achieve his intended goal, but this was only for a while, Gongsun Fan did not want the generals and soldiers of Chen Nuo's battalion to be wood, and they quickly gave stubborn resistance.
The reason why Chen Nuo left Zhao Xue and Zhu Ling in the camp was because Zhao Xue was calm enough, and Zhu Ling was brave enough, moving and still, and cooperating well, which complemented each other. After a moment of panic, Zhao Xue immediately personally supervised the battle, stabilized the morale of the army, extinguished the fire, and asked Zhu Ling to lead the troops to intercept Gongsun Fan.
Gongsun Fan's troops are all riding, and the benefits are in the quick battle, so naturally they can't be consumed, if they wait for Chen Nuo to come back, it will be the enemy on their backs. He was also sweating profusely at this time, and he had no choice but to personally supervise the battle in front of him, but he encountered Zhu Ling. He and Zhu Ling were only two together, so they didn't dare to fight. The other party was too powerful, he knew that he was not an opponent, and after taking a shot from him, he immediately turned his horse's head and dodged into the oblique spur, but fortunately his men arrived in time to help him get out of trouble.
Although his side had a smooth start, once the opponent gradually gathered, a stalemate began to appear. Seeing the other party's desperate resistance, Gongsun Fan realized that the so-called 'surprise soldiers' could not be used by anyone. And at this moment, the news that Zou Dan was defeated and Chen Nuo led the troops back reached the ears of Gongsun Fan, and Gongsun Fan's face was even more ugly. He painstakingly created this opportunity, originally wanting to burn Chen Nuo's grain and grass with one blow and export his evil anger, but he didn't expect that in the end, it would fall short.
Gongsun Fan was unwilling and turned a deaf ear, but instead held a blade and slashed desperately. Gongsun Fan was not convinced and was bent on seeking death, his subordinates were not as stupid as him, and they all persuaded Gongsun Fan to make a decision quickly. Gongsun Fan had just stabbed a person to death, and a stream of blood hit him in the face, and the blood was hot in his nose, which finally made him soberly understand the current situation. He sighed helplessly, said goodbye, and led the cavalry to the oblique spur to kill.
Although it is difficult to go further, with the advantage of cavalry over infantry, it is not difficult for Gongsun Fan to escape with them. It's just that Gongsun Fan wants to leave, and Zhao Xue may not be able to let him go, he dares to attack the camp, and he has to pay a little price.
Zhao Xue was observant, and when she saw that the opponent's attack power was significantly weakened, and she was wandering left and right, she immediately guessed that Chen Nuo had returned to the army. She immediately organized men and horses to block off the roads on both sides. Gongsun Fan came with his troops, and immediately fell into the ambush of Zhao Xue's infantry, losing a lot of men and horses, and only then did he break through the siege very dangerously.
Gongsun Fan chose a path to the west, preparing to turn back to Guangzong from there.
Seeing that the exit was in front of him, Gongsun Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked back at the soldiers behind him, the three hundred when he went to battle with him were less than half at the moment, and most of them were injured, and they were already very embarrassed. Even Gongsun Fan himself was wounded by an arrow on his forearm when he broke through just now, and his blood flowed all the way without knowing it. At this moment, he stopped his horse, and only then did he feel the pain of the arrow hitting the bone.
He gritted his front teeth, broke the shaft of the wooden arrow, and threw it on the ground, but he was sweating profusely.
In the face of these remnants of the defeated soldiers, Gongsun Fan's head was completely sobered up at this time. Guangchuan lost the first battle, and he wanted to win back a game with the last family background, but who knew that he was bitten by a snake instead of fighting a snake, how could he swallow this breath! Gongsun Fan thought about it, and forgot the pain of the arrow wound on his arm, his anger surged upward, his throat was sweet, and he couldn't help but spurt a mouthful of blood forward, only scaring the subordinates on both sides.
That Gongsun Fan looked behind him and shook his hand, indicating that he was fine. He asked them to retreat, picked up the spear in his hand, couldn't help but look up and smile, and said: "Although there is this defeat, but fortunately the thieves did not chase after me, God will not let me die, I will definitely sweep again in the future, and I will ......"
"General, listen ......"
A horse behind him suddenly interrupted Gongsun Fan's words.
Gongsun Fan's face changed greatly, and he glanced at the rider very angrily, but before he had a seizure, he was shocked first.
I didn't realize it when I was marching in a hurry just now, but now that I was quiet, I heard the sound of the iron cavalry slamming the ground. The sound didn't come from behind, but it was......
Where did he think that Chen Nuo did not chase after him from behind, but copied the trail and tried to intercept them in front.
Gongsun Fan's voice changed when he heard this, and he knew that it was not good, so he quickly pulled the reins of the horse, and was about to shout for everyone to rush forward. It's all delayed just now, and if you wait for the opening in front of you to rest, there will be no possibility of being blocked by thieves. Gongsun Fan regretted that he couldn't help himself, and he was about to leave when he pulled the reins and was about to leave, when suddenly a person in front of him laughed, and there were already countless riders who had been swept in for a while, blocking the road.
The black-pressed cavalry, with this loud laugh, pressed down on their heads like a dark cloud, blocking their way back.
Gongsun Fan was shocked, the road ahead had been blocked, and there were people chasing after him in the faint rear. Now it seems that it is too late to escape.
Pan Zhang is on the left, Dian Wei is behind, and Chen Nuo is standing in the middle.
Chen Nuo took a look at Gongsun Fan, did not rush to make a move, smiled on the horse, and then arched his hand and said: "General Gongsun, don't come unharmed!" ”
The so-called don't fight and don't know each other, Chen Nuo and Gongsun Fan have encountered several times before and after, the two have different positions, and the feud is getting deeper and deeper. That Gongsun Fan snorted, and the gun in his hand straightened up, trying to concentrate his strength on a point, so as to catch the other party off guard. It's just that his arm was injured, and he couldn't use his strength, and when he saw Dian Wei next to Chen Nuo, he knew that this guy was powerful, and if he wanted to get out of the siege today, it seemed that he could only outwit him.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Fan couldn't help but smile, stared at Chen Nuo and said: "The so-called 'don't stop returning to the teacher, don't chase after the poor', why should the general deceive people too much?" ”
When Chen Nuo heard what he said, he snorted and said, "It turns out that General Gongsun, you also admit that you are a poor man, uh, don't be anxious, general." If it's not me, I'm also forced to do it, and the general will go, if he still takes the sheep by the hand, it will be wrong. In this way, the general will hand over Liu Ying, and I will release the general today, how about it? ”
