In mid-March, the night in Yijing was still cold, and the dead grass in the wilderness was covered with a thick layer of frost and snow.

"Driving ......"

In the darkness, a crack opened in the gate of Yijing City, and a fast horse galloped out of the city in the night, galloping westward.

After leaving the city, the people on the horse did not take the post road or the path, because he knew that there were patrols of the Yuan army everywhere, and the only way to break through the field was to break through the field safely.

A low-lying ravine overgrown with weeds is a hidden path. The emissary on the horse cautiously rode his horse along the ravine, hoping to successfully pass through the blockade of Yuan's army.

But what disappointed him was that he couldn't walk more than a mile, and a cry in the artemisia grass killed dozens of ambush soldiers, the hook and sickle in his hand flew, the horses screamed, the limbs were broken, and the people on the horse rolled to the ground, and they were quickly tied up and sent to Yuan Mai's camp.

"General Qiyu, I got a spy and found a letter from my body, please take a look!" The patrol carefully handed over the letter.

Yuan Mai took it and shook it off quickly, and the content inside was really the same as recorded in the history books: when it was agreed on March 19, the fire was raised as a number, and Gao Lan and Yuan Mai were caught inside and outside the city gate to attack the west of the city, and the Yuan army was broken!

"Haha...... Yes, everything is developing according to the normal trajectory, it is in vain that I send a large number of soldiers to patrol outside every night, and finally obtained this important information, and the first credit for breaking Yijing will eventually belong to me Yuan Mai! ”

Yuan Mai smiled smugly, put the letter on the candle and ignited it, burning it to ashes. casually asked Zhao Zhi: "Today's March 10th?" ”

"Back to my husband, today is March 16!" It's not good to march and fight, Zhao Zhi's work as a secretary is not bad, she is meticulous and orderly.

"Well, in three days it will be the day of the destruction of the city, and then it will be time for your brothers and sisters to reunite."

The next day, Yuan Mai took Zhou Cang to Yuan Shao's camp again and reported the intercepted information to his father: "The child intercepted the information, on the nineteenth day of this month. Gongsun Chan saw the torches light up outside. will open the west gate, go out of the city to meet the reinforcements of Montenegro, and attack me and Gao Ran together. Our army can make a plan and raise fire to lead Gongsun Chan to open the city gate. Then he rushed into the city. Take down the fortified fortress of Yijing! ”

Yuan Shao was sullen about not being able to break the city. After listening to the young son's report, his spirit was lifted: "Haha...... That's great, so to speak. In three days, Gongsun Chan can disappear from this world? My son should be credited with intercepting information. Since you have a bamboo in your hands, then you will command this siege battle, and sit and watch my son use troops for my father. An army of 100,000 is at your disposal! ”

"Thank you father, the child will live up to expectations!"

Hearing that Yuan Shao was going to hand over the power to himself, Yuan Mai was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed. This is a rare opportunity to gild, so make sure you take advantage of it!

Received the arrow from Yuan Shao's hand, Yuan Mai rode back to his camp tent, and gave orders to Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, and Han Meng.

Three days, in the long river of history, is just a flick of a finger!

On March 19, late at night, 5,000 of Gao Ran's subordinates came from afar, each holding two torches in their hands, shaking vigorously. Standing on the city wall and looking into the distance, winding for several miles, it looks like a fire dragon, as if it looks like an army of tens of thousands.

"Haha...... Zhang Pingnan's men and horses are finally here, Shan Jing and Gongsun Fan, the two of you each led 10,000 horses and horses, went out of the city to meet Zhang Yan, flanked Gao Ran, Yuan Mai, and broke Yuan's army together! ”

Gongsun Chan stood on the high platform of the main city wall, looking at the torches coming in the distance, and his heart was excited. With a wave of his hand, he ordered the city gate to be opened, and attacked Yuan Jun secretly, full of joy to kill Yuan Jun by surprise, but he didn't expect that he was falling into the trap step by step.

With the sound of "squeak", the gate of Yijing West City slowly opened, and the suspension bridge was also lowered.

"Kill! Kill Yuan Bing! ”

Shan Jing and Gongsun Fan Er turned over their horses, each led 8,000 people, rushed out of the city gate, and rushed towards the camp of Gao Ran and Yuan Mai.

In a moment's effort, 16,000 men and horses were killed in front of Yuan's camp, only to see a quiet piece in the fence, and the atmosphere was strange and frightening.

"The situation is not good, I am afraid that there is an ambush!" Gongsun Fan was shocked, turned his horse's head, and ordered the troops to retreat, "The whole army retreats quickly!" ”

There was a shout in the fence, the ambush soldiers were exhausted, and more than 3,000 crossbowmen fired arrows in unison, shooting down a large number of people and horses, and the Gongsun army began to be in chaos, and turned around in a panic.

A drum sounded, and the surrounding dead grass and bushes were ambushed, blocking the retreat of the Gongsun army under the command of Gao Lan, and the two sides were strangled together, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the torches illuminated the sky.

In the firelight, Zhang Liao put the "green lion" horse under his crotch, and the Yunyue knife in his hand, led 1,500 "tiger ben" heavy armor horses, and rolled towards the west gate like a tide. Wang Shuang led 3,000 light cavalry to follow, close to 5,000 cavalry, and rushed into the gate of Yijing City like raging waves......

Unstoppable and invincible!

Seeing that his men and horses were ambushed, Gongsun Zhan was anxious, but the team of nearly 20,000 people was still fighting to the death outside, and he couldn't close the city gate, so he could only order the men and horses of the west gate to desperately block the city gate and not let the Yuan army rush in!

It's just that, in the face of the "Tiger Horseman" who had crossed the drawbridge and was led by Zhang Liao, Gongsun Zhan's foot soldiers were like mantis arms as a car, and they were crushed one after another, and in a blink of an eye, Zhang Liao broke through three outer city gates in a row, killed to the inner gate of Yijing, and strangled with the oncoming Gongsun army, forming a hand-to-hand battle under the city gate.

Seeing the fire at the West Gate, the sound of killing shook the sky. Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Han Meng on the east, south, and north sides urged their subordinates to attack the city with all their might, and for a while, the ladder flew to the frame, the siege car rumbled, and the city of Yi was surrounded by a sea of fire.

There were only about 35,000 men left under Gongsun Zhan's command, and after sending 18,000 troops out of the city to attack, there were only 17,000 people left in the city, and the troops were seriously insufficient. Among these defenders, 5,000 were fighting in the streets of Zhang Liao and Wang Shuangsuo, who had broken through the city, at the west gate, and 3,000 were patrolling back and forth in the streets and alleys of the city to prevent Yuan's soldiers from breaking through the tunnels.

The remaining 9,000 men were distributed to each gate only about 3,000, and the defenses on the walls were seriously empty. The arrows and crossbows that were shot were sparse and the threat to the besiegers was much smaller than before, and the attackers easily crossed the moat, set up ladders on the walls, and attacked the walls with arrows.

Yan Liang, who is nine feet tall and has a majestic face, is dressed in armor and carries a machete, leading the charge. Climbing the ladder, the first one climbed to the top of the city, with a loud shout, the sword light fell out, and four or five soldiers were cut down, and the rest of the people were so frightened that they retreated!

"Hold me back and drive the enemy off the city!"

Tian Kai, who was in charge of guarding the guard, roared hysterically, and when he saw the soldiers who still couldn't stop the rout, he drew his sword in his hand, personally assassinated the two fugitives, and shouted angrily: "Whoever dares to retreat again, it will be like this!" ”

Shoot the man first and shoot the horse, and capture the thief first and capture the king.

Yan Liang naturally understood this truth, shouted violently, and waved the steel knife in his hand and pounced on Tian Kai......

"The army is everywhere, invincible, and no matter how stubbornly it resists, it is just a waste of life!"

Before the words fell, I saw Yan Liang rushing into the defenders like a fierce beast, and everywhere he went, flesh and blood flew sideways, like a tiger like a flock of sheep, invincible.

In an instant, he cut down seven or eight soldiers, rushed straight to Tian Kai, fought without a three, cut Tian Kai with a knife, cut off the head, and shouted: "The guard has been ambushed, and those who descend will not die!" ”

Three or four hundred strong soldiers of Yuan had already boarded the city one after another, and the rest of the men and horses were pouring in like a tide. The Lord will be dead, and the tide is gone. The Gongsun army either surrendered on its knees, or fled for its life in all directions, Yan Liang cut the drawbridge with his own hands, and let the army behind cross the moat and enter the city.

At the same time that the Yuan army captured the west city gate and the south city gate, the Yuan soldiers in the tunnel also broke the ground, from the houses, alleys, and streets, chiseled the ground, and shouted to kill.

All of a sudden, Yijing City became ablaze, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

"This is the death of my father-in-law, Sun Zhan, not a crime of war!"

Seeing that nearly 100,000 Yuan soldiers broke through the city like a tide, the defeat was like a mountain, and the general trend had gone, he shouted unwillingly to the sky, and then ordered to his cronies around him: "Set fire to all the granaries!" ”

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly got off the high platform with a sword in one hand and a horse lance in the other, turned over his horse, and rushed back to his mansion. There are also two daughters in the family, as well as two minor sons, in addition to five wives and concubines, Gongsun Chan can't let them fall into the hands of Yuan Bing, and must let them accompany him to Huangquan......

"The person riding the white horse is Gongsun Zhan, captured alive, Yuan Gong will have a heavy reward!"

A lieutenant who had participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo recognized Gongsun Chan in the midst of the war again, shouted, slapped his horse and danced his sword, and led his subordinates to stop Gongsun Chan, hoping to capture him alive and make a great contribution.

"Ignorant people, can you and other rats stop me 'General White Horse'?"

Gongsun Zhan's steel teeth gritted angrily, his eyes widened, and he rushed forward with a horse lance, and he stabbed the captain in a hole with a lance, picked it in the air, and smashed it fiercely at the soldier, his brain cracked, and one person was killed immediately.

"I think my Gongsun Zhan is also a generation of famous generals, how can you wait for the rats to be captured alive?"

The horse moved forward, wielding the horse lance for a burst of mine slashing and stabbing, killing more than a dozen soldiers, and the rest could not resist, so they had to scatter to dodge, and let Gongsun Zan rush over.

"Drive!"

Gongsun Chan raised his horse and whipped his horse, slaughtered his own mansion, and later sent his family members on the road with his own hands, and then killed the entire mansion and all the granaries with a fire. Even if he loses, he won't let Yuan Shao pick up the cheap! (To be continued......)
