Chapter Ninety-Five: Attacked

In the early autumn of 191 AD, Gongsun Yi, who had just got married, personally led 20,000 Xiao cavalry troops, with Tai Shici as the vanguard and Yu Ban as the rear army, breaking through the Jizhou border and occupying several cities on the Jizhou border in a row.

It's just that to Gongsun Yi's surprise, Yuan Shao has already given up these regions, and also given up these people, according to the military of later generations, this is an obvious space for time, there is no grain and grass left in these cities, in addition to many famine people, officials, scholars, and merchants have already fled, as if they had long known that Gongsun Yi would lead the army to come.

Gongsun Yi had no choice but to urge the rear to transport food as soon as possible at the same time, to appease these people, but the good times did not last long, and soon Gongsun Yi got the news that several caravans were ambushed, although the thieves who came to sneak attack were killed, but still lost a lot of food.

Gongsun Yi soon realized that the tens of thousands of people left behind in several cities had temporarily stranded the powerful cavalry army, and if they were left to fend for themselves, Gongsun Yi really couldn't do it, and the only way was to send these people back to Qingzhou.

Yuan Shao's move is very clever, most of the tens of thousands of people stranded are unwilling to leave their homeland, but if they continue to stay here, they will only starve to death, Yuan Shao seems to know that Gongsun Yi will never let the people go, just plunder the grain and baggage, and use tens of thousands of people to slack off the cavalry.

After Gongsun Yi and Yu Ban discussed and Tai Shici discussed, it was decided to escort the tens of thousands of people back to Qingzhou, but the process of persuading the relocation was not smooth, most of the people were not willing to leave, Gongsun Yi personally went to persuade him, and after receiving the guarantee, he finally said that many people were moved to follow the Xiao cavalry to Qingzhou.

The night was slightly dark, Gongsun Yi sat in the main tent and looked at the map and groaned slightly, the dispatch of troops seemed to be smooth, and several cities had been connected in less than a few days, but with the hungry people flocking, Gongsun Yi had already taken out as much food as possible to supply the people.

However, Gongsun Yi knows very well that he must not take out all the grain and grass as before, otherwise once the Jizhou soldiers are killed, the Xiao cavalry army lacking food may not be able to fight again, and once the army collapses, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and I am afraid that there will be no chance to send troops for a long time.

Suddenly, there was a shout of killing outside, and then there were terrified shouts in many places at the same time, Gongsun Yi listened quietly with bated breath, and could vaguely hear: "Gongsun is dead, everyone flee!" ”

The panicked shouts, the dying screams and sorrows, kept coming from the outside, Gongsun Yi was shocked, he didn't expect such a shout to suddenly come from the barracks, I have to say that the people who came did seize the life of the Xiao cavalry, Gongsun Yi personally recruited the Xiao cavalry The morale of the whole army was high, but once it was learned that Gongsun Yi was dead, the Xiao cavalry army would inevitably panic, and no one knew what would happen.

In his eagerness, Gongsun Yi didn't care much, pushed open the door, and saw several Xiao cavalry guards in the distance suddenly fall to the ground, and before they could scream, they had fallen in a pool of blood, and the remaining Xiao cavalry guards quickly rushed in when they heard this, and they were entangled with the masked black-clothed people around them.

These people's footsteps seem to be vain, their bodies are extremely agile, and every blow is a killing move that ends together, although the combat effectiveness of the guards of the Xiao Cavalry Army is very strong, and the number of people is also superior, but for a while, they can't break through the defensive line blocked by these fierce black-clothed people at the gate, and they can't rush to Gongsun Yi's side at all.

Gongsun Yi's heart was cold, it seems that among these people, there are a large number of Jizhou elite soldiers and dead soldiers, and the carelessness of the moment has led to today's situation, seeing that the sky is blazing, it is obviously the location of the reserve of grain and grass, it seems that tonight's raid was premeditated.

Suddenly, several latent figures in the shadows rushed quickly, and the fierce murderous aura instantly made Gongsun Yi's whole body feel like entering an ice cave, Gongsun Yi frowned slightly, and instinctively pulled out the short-handled halberd on his waist and threw it with all his might.

With a loud whistling sound, a muffled sound, and with two miserable snorts in succession, one of the two black shadow figures splashed blood on his face, and the other chest was pierced by a sharp handle halberd, and he fell straight to the ground, and suddenly blood continued to overflow.

Gongsun Yi's strong attack made a group of black-clothed people look sideways, and the momentum of the attack slowed down, but when Gongsun Yi pulled out the third short-handled halberd, the remaining three black shadow men still killed closely, instinctively raised the halberd in their hands to block, and collided violently with the sharp blade that slashed down.

The huge force came, Gongsun Yi's tiger mouth suddenly flowed blood, the short-handled halberd grabbed me unsteadily and fell to the ground, since the assassination of Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Yi basically never been in danger again, today the cavalry army went to Jizhou, it seems that everything is going well, but it is secretly ambushed.

When life and death were at stake, he quickly rolled to the side, avoiding the capture of another black shadow man, but his shoulder hit the door frame violently, making a muffled sound, and a sharp pain came, Gongsun Yi gritted his teeth and held back, and did not scream.

Hurriedly stepped back, entered the room, and wanted to close the door, but the masked man in black would let Gongsun Yi be happy, and flew up and stepped on the door that was about to close, and with a loud bang, the door suddenly opened.

Gongsun Yi snorted and flew away, fell heavily to the ground, and what was even worse was that when he fell to the ground, it was the arm that had hit the door frame before, and the intense pain made Gongsun Yi's whole body curl up.

A man in black jumped into the room, suddenly stiffened, and fell straight forward to the ground, turning over the corpse, a sharp arrow pierced the back of the head, red and white things kept popping out, and the empty eyes were too dead to die.

The remaining two black shadow people were shocked, and hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to see that Yixiao broke through the black-clothed man who was blocking him at some point, and shot the black-clothed man who had entered the room to arrest Gongsun Yi with a bow and arrow, and rushed over with a murderous aura with a spear that was still dripping blood.

A man in black panicked in the face of the shocking murderous aura, and was about to flee when he turned around and fled, when he was shot by Yu Ban, who rushed over, and fell to the ground with a scream, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the only man in black saw that there was no way to escape, and suddenly took out a short crossbow from his arms, aiming at Gongsun Yi, who was lying more than ten meters away.

With a miserable scream, at the moment when the arrow was fired, the body of the man in black was pierced by the sharp tip of the spear, the corners of his mouth continued to overflow with blood, the pupils of his eyes constricted, and his legs fell to the ground weakly at the moment when the tip of the spear was drawn.

Gongsun Yi gasped for breath, looking at the inch arrows that shot into the ground, there was a little green smoke, obviously the arrows were poisonous, it seemed that the original purpose of these black-clothed people was to capture Gongsun Yisheng, and seeing that there was no hope of capturing him, he decided to kill the killer.

Fortunately, Gongsun Yi's luck was not bad, the arrow shot into the ground by a millimeter, and walked away from the ghost gate, Gongsun Yi was fortunate not to die, but he felt cold all over his body, and soon the sharp pain in his shoulder seemed to be torn, and the pain made Gongsun Yi sweat coldly.

"Lord!" Tai Shi Ci rushed in very anxiously and leaned over to check on Gongsun Yi's situation.

Yu Ban also followed, seeing that Gongsun Yi was dead, he didn't know how anxious he was, but whenever he had to stick to his post and enter the due responsibility, Yu Ban immediately ordered the left and right, ordered the battalions to return, count the casualties and strengthen the vigilance.

"Lord, lord, you are awake!"

Seeing Gongsun Yi slowly open his eyes, Tai Shici's hanging heart finally relaxed.

"Ziyi, don't make a noise, immediately let the guards cry bitterly, saying that I have been poisoned and killed!"

Tai Shi Ci was slightly stunned, although he didn't understand the lord's intentions, but as soon as the order arrived, he immediately gave orders to a few surrounding guards who rushed over.

Yu Ban and the generals returned to the camp to count and prepare the people, so as not to have another sneak attack, just returned to the courtyard, suddenly there was a cry, Yu Ban was shocked, and hurriedly rushed up, only to see Gongsun Yi lying on the bed with a pale face, his eyes closed and motionless.

Yu Ban staggered forward a few steps, kneeling beside the bed with a gloomy expression, Tai Shici quietly approached Yu Ban, and said what Gongsun Yi had explained before, Yu Ban's eyes lit up, and he cried out loudly and sadly again.

Soon the news of Gongsun Yi's death by an arrow spread, and there was an uproar in the army for a while, and many soldiers were indignant, and they all raised their knives and went to the prison, where several injured and captured black-clothed people were imprisoned.

Just when the Xiao cavalry army was about to get out of control, several Xiao cavalry soldiers broke away from the army for no reason and fled towards the town deep in Jizhou.
