Chapter 305: The End of the Heroes

(Thanks to the Great Alliance!) Thank you Zhao Wuxian 2014, ufgw, frost bottle, metallicclaw, Huo Chiyan)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The assassin became a loyal servant, and the assassination met in disguise, and Gongsun Xu was afraid that he would never think that it would end like this. And Gongsun Xu can't wait to see the ending, because Yi Jing is tight, and he must rush back as much as possible.

After anxiously waiting for a day, Guzhu City has been calm, Gongsun Xu knew that Tian Chou had most of his mistakes, and left half of his troops to defend the city, and he led more than 1,000 horses to leave from the west gate in a hurry and rushed to Yijing. It was also his luck that as soon as he walked on the front foot, Wang Yue entered the city to find him on the back foot.

Wang Yue looked for Gongsun Xu's bad luck, just to atone for his sins, if he had nothing to say, he really didn't have the face to go back to Luoyang to see the princess. Wang Yue's assassination of Zhao Yun certainly failed, but how many Zhao Yun are there in the world? Gongsun Xu's force is inferior to Xiahou Lan, if he is blocked by Wang Yue, he will die and be lifeless.

It's just that as soon as Wang Yue entered the city, he learned the news of Gongsun Xu's departure, and he couldn't help but sigh. But after thinking about it, well, I can't kill Gongsun Xu, and killing this city is also a credit. So Wang Yue asked Tian Chou, who was traveling with him, to summon Zhao Yun on his behalf, ∧ Zhao Yun could choose a day to attack the city, and when the guard appeared at the head of the city, it was the time to die.

Zhao Yun received the message, and three days later, he ordered 3,000 soldiers and horses to rush to the mound, and first feinted with more than 1,000 foot soldiers. When the earth guard appeared in the gatehouse and commanded the guards to prepare for battle urgently, everyone witnessed an amazing scene on both sides of the enemy.

On the roof of the gatehouse, a man appeared and jumped down the rope -- just like a modern SWAT high-altitude rappelling raid.

A moment ago, the guard was still standing in front of the railing of the gatehouse waving the flag to command; The next moment, it had turned into a headless corpse, and angry blood splattered to find him.

Until the Assassins came to the rescue. After the head disappeared, the servants came back from their sluggish state, and the cries of horror almost overwhelmed the cries of thousands of troops attacking the city......

The morale of the defenders of the city collapsed, panic spread, and horror scattered. The morale of the besieging army was high, and they climbed to the top of the city with all their might...... There is no suspense in the ending.

Xiahou Lan, who was watching the battle, was a little stunned, and he fought in Sanhan. I don't know how many cities are under the wall, but I have never seen such a way to break the city. Remembering that day, Wang Yue had threatened to kill him and make him be buried with him, but looking at it today, it may not be a lie.

Xia Houlan patted her stiff face and muttered: "That day, I saw that this Wang Yue tried his best, and he was captured instead of assassinating, but he said that it was just like this, but I didn't expect this guy's assassination skills to be so good." ”

Zhao Yun made the following comment: "Spear halberd." Fighting on the battlefield, he is not as good as me; Hibernation, raid and assassination, I'm not as good as him. ”

The mound struck down. Half a month later, Xu Wu, Wuzhong and other cities also fell one after another under the influence of Tian Chou, and the right Beiping County has been started.

When Zhao Yun, Xiahou Lan and others led a large army into the cities of Youbeiping, Wang Yue was leading a group of disciples. He wears a hat on his head, holds a wooden staff, and leggings and bast shoes. Under the worship of Tian Chou and Xu Wushan's fathers, in the wind and sand, they gradually drifted away......

Among the group of disciples who voluntarily followed the teacher south, there was a person named Shi A, who won the mantle of Wang Yue, if it were not for Ma Han who pushed the wheel of history off, this person would have been the swordsmanship teacher of Emperor Liu Xie and Emperor Wen Cao Pi in the future......

……

Troops were dispatched in June, Liaoxi was unified in July, and Beiping was taken in August, with only a few hundred troops lost before and after, and nearly 5,000 prisoners were captured...... Zhao Yun almost perfectly met the expectation of sending troops.

The reason why such a result was achieved was that in addition to Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan advancing by sea and land, killing Gongsun Xu by surprise and losing the opportunity, Gongsun Zhan was held down by Yuan Shao's army, and he was beaten at will, and his inability to reinforce was also an important reason.

At the end of August, at the invitation of Yuan Shao, Zhao Yun left Pei Yuanshao Town in Liaoxi and Xiahou Lan to guard Beiping, led 3,000 soldiers and horses, advanced to Yuyang, and garrisoned Yongnu. Xian Yufu and Qi Zhou, who were stationed in the fox slaves, echoed each other from afar and threatened Guangyang.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan, the former general known as the governor of You, He, Qing, and Hebei Prefectures, only left the two counties of Zhuo County and Guangyang, and the image of defeat was fully revealed.

Although Gongsun Chan was facing a large attack by Yuan's army at this time, and the pressure was great, he could not ignore the threat from the flank. Once Guangyang falls, Gongsun Chan will be surrounded from all directions, and there will be nowhere to run.

At the beginning of September, Gongsun Zhan sent Tian Kai to lead 3,000 foot soldiers into Jixian County to strengthen the defense and guard against the army of Yongnu and Fox Slave. At the same time, he sent his eldest son, Gongsun Xu, to bypass the Yuan army from the Du Kangting in the north, enter Jizhou from Dai County, and quietly go south to seek help from the Montenegrin army.

Historically, Gongsun Zhan only endured Yuan Shao's army in front of him, and he survived until the spring of the following year. This time, how long can he hold out if he is attacked by the enemy in the abdomen?

In September, Yuan's army had broken through the Yishui defense line and approached the capital of Yi. In the face of Gongsun Zhan's proud "Thousand Heavy Towers", Yuan Shao adopted the strategy of frustration - attacking the soil with soil.

Your grandson Zhan dug trenches, piled up earth into mounds, and built a heavy siege; I will also dig in the earth, hollow out the ground, and make your thousand heavy buildings into a pavilion in the sky.

So Yuan Jun put up a ladder, dug tunnels, and constantly strengthened the offensive, and Yi Jing was in danger.

In the face of the aggressive offensive of the Yuan army, and seeing that the Yijing he had painstakingly built was in danger, he planned to give up defending the city, personally led his troops to break out of the siege, occupied the southwest mountain twenty miles away, and held on to the arrival of the Montenegrin army, cutting off the back road of Yuan's army.

Gongsun Chan is Gongsun Chan in the end, even if he is so predicated, he is not discouraged and gives up. Perhaps at this moment, he remembered the past when he was surrounded by Liu Yu's tens of thousands of troops, but in the end, with courage and boldness, he counterattacked with hundreds of soldiers and turned defeat into victory.

It's a pity that Yuan Shao is not Liu Yu, and his grandson Zan is no longer the heroic white horse general of the past.

Knowing that Gongsun Zhan wanted to take this risk, Changshi Guan Jingjin persuaded: "Today's generals and soldiers have all collapsed, so they can keep the holders, take care of their lives, and take the general as the main ear." The general insisted on the protracted day, and Yuan Shao should retreat by himself; After retreating, the people of the four directions will be reunited. If the general leaves now, the army has no control, and Yi Jing is in danger, and he can wait immediately. The general lost his roots and was alone in the grass, what a crime! ”

There is a view that it was Guan Jing's words that ruined Gongsun Zhan's last trace of life, but after careful analysis, it is not difficult to see that there is a certain truth. Gongsun Zan led the troops to break through, and he definitely couldn't let the soldiers take the family with him, if the capital city was broken, and the soldiers' families became prisoners, who else would follow you to stay in the mountains with peace of mind, waiting for unforeseen reinforcements?

Gongsun Chan has fallen into a dilemma at this time, it is not possible to break through, and if he does not break through, he is waiting for death, and under hesitation, the opportunity is gradually lost.

……

In October, the Liaodong Army advanced more than 1,000 cavalry and appeared in Anci County, Guangyang County. Anci is a lower county, the whole city is less than 1,000 households, there were originally more than 1,000 guards, but in the past month, nearly half of them have fled, and only a few hundred soldiers with families can not bear to leave.

The county lieutenant defending the city did not dare to engage in the battle at all, so he just asked Jixian for help. Soon, Tian Kai led a thousand steps to ride out of the city to help. Not long after he left the city, Xian Yufu of the fox slave sent troops to surround Jicheng and cut off Tian Kai's back road.

When Tian Kaibu cavalry marched to Jixian and Anci, he blocked a large army head-on, and the Zhao Ziyang flag and the green pupil wolf flag complemented each other.

Zhao Yun.

At this time, Zhao Yun's reputation in Youzhou was very popular, and everyone knew that Tian Kai could not win, so he wanted to retreat to Jixian County, but until this time, he knew that the retreat was broken. As a result, the army was in turmoil and collapsed without a fight. Tian Kai, under the escort of more than ten subordinates, took advantage of the chaos to escape to Zhuo County.

This Tian Kai is inevitably a little brainless, Jixian County in the north can't go back, Beiping in the east doesn't dare to go, Anci in the south can't go, the only way is to go west. Such a simple truth, how can you not know that your opponent knows? As a result, he crashed headlong into Zhao Yun's ambush circle.

It was Zhao Yun who intercepted Tian Kai.

Zhao Yun was Liu Bei's cavalry, and Liu Bei was Pingyuan Ling (later Pingyuan Xiang) at that time, and Pingyuan was under the rule of Tian Kai, who was the Qingzhou Thorn History at the time, so from this level, Zhao Yun was also Tian Kai's subordinate. The two also had several encounters, but at that time, Zhao Yun was just a small horseman, and Tian Kai might not be looking at him squarely, and now, not to mention the size of the official position, Tian Kai's life is in Zhao Yun's hands.

Tian Kai only had more than ten horsemen, but Zhao Yun led a full hundred horsemen, one of which was a heavy armored cavalry, and with just one charge, he could crush the opponent like an ant.

"Sons and daughters, obey the order, throw away bows and arrows, dry food, and belongings, hold spears and halberds, and charge with me!" Tian Kai threw down the heavy object while shouting, holding the spear in his hand, his eyes were fixed on the opponent, and his eyes revealed a sense of death.

There was a crackling sound, and more than ten people threw down their belongings together, held spears and halberds, and gathered around the lord. Everyone's face swelled with the will to die like the lord.

Zhao Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of emotion, and he rode out of the battle and said to Tian Kai: "Tian Jun, the matter has come to this, why bother to fight the trapped beasts?" Yun has no intention of making things difficult, only invites Tian Jun to be a guest in Liaodong, near to avoid the disaster of killing, far away can be reused by the court, and he will be a shepherd for one side in the future, and it is not known. Does Tian Jun think so? ”

Tian Kai shook his head: "Tian Kai started in the army, except for galloping on the battlefield, he has nothing else. The lord did not abandon it, and repeatedly used it heavily, thinking that it was a shepherd. Tian Kai is just a martial artist, and he has high hopes for the lord, and he has repeatedly lost ground and broken his troops. The lord not only forgives a certain sin, but still trusts it as before, and it is regarded as a humerus. My Tian Kai's life is the lord's. Thanks to General Zhao's kindness, he only had one word to tell him - only Tian Kai who died in Yijing, not Tian Kai who lived in Liaodong. ”

Zhao Yun nodded slowly: "Tian Jun is loyal and righteous, Yun is deeply admired, and he has no respect, only to fulfill Tian Jun's ambition." With a wave of his hand, the array of hundred horsemen spread out to both sides, making way for a passage.

Tian Kai just hugged his fists to Zhao Yun as a salute, without saying a word, and rode through the array and galloped away.

When Tian Kai quickly whipped his horse and swore to live and die with Gongsun Zhan, the battle of Yijing had reached the most critical juncture.

Maybe God didn't want Gongsun Chan to disappear into history so quickly, it rained heavily for three days in October, and Yijing City laid down hundreds of trenches to become a country. Yuan's offensive was a little sluggish, and the troops were suspended for rectification. The defenders of Yijing were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. However, whether it is the attacker or the defender, they all know in their hearts that this is just the calm before the storm, and the next time may be the time of life and death.

Wind and rain, Yi Jing, like its owner, has come to an end. (To be continued......)
