The worries of the Qingzhou generals are not unnecessary, Tai Shici has indeed fallen into an extremely embarrassing situation now.

Zhang Yang has nothing to fear, his army of 7,000 is now floating in military spirit.

The captives who were captured successively were all released, but these people were not Zhang Yang's help, but the opposite. A group of people who were greedy for life and afraid of death headed by Li Xiang desperately spread all kinds of rumors in the army, so that the Hanoi soldiers in Zhang Yang's army had no intention of fighting, and everyone in the Shangdang soldiers was in danger -- all the Hanoi soldiers who were released were Hanoi soldiers, and the Shangdang soldiers were all gone and never looked back.

On the surface, the reason is that the Shangdang soldiers have done a lot of evil, and the Hanoi soldiers know how to restrain themselves, but in fact, a clear-eyed person can see through the doorway inside at a glance, which is nothing more than a discordant scheme.

The strategy is simple, but it works. Zhang Yang knew that there was fraud, but he could only jump into the pit with his eyes open.

What could he do? Keep the captives out? Strict control in the army, no soldiers allowed to communicate? Treat Hanoi soldiers and Shangdang soldiers differently?

Don't be kidding, the morale of the army has already floated when I came, and the contradiction between the Hanoi soldiers and the Shangdang soldiers has been going on for a long time. Maybe that's what the enemy general expects, and if there is infighting on his side, the iron cavalry of Qingzhou will follow closely and kill him.

He had already hated Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci to the bone - Zhao Yun was lying down and was shot because of Tai Shi Ci's scheme. He first acted in the image of Zhao Yun, and later regained his color when he raided Yang Chou. The illusion is that the two of them appeared one after another, completed the meeting, and then their strength skyrocketed.

But he couldn't do anything but draw circles and curse these two people.

In fact, if he hadn't taken the opportunity to retreat to Tobu City, I was afraid that the Hanoi Army would have finished earlier than the main force of Jizhou.

Zhang Yang's caution doomed him to limited accomplishments, and sometimes he made superfluous moves, but this time. His prudence saved his life. While retreating, he urgently asked Yuan Shao for help, and in addition, he sent a messenger to Cao Ren.

Cao Ren has no subordinate relationship with him, even if he wants to act jointly, he has to go through Yuan Shao, and it is unruly for Zhang Yang to do this. However, if you consider Cao Cao behind Cao Ren, Zhang Yang's actions are not unreasonable.

Cao Cao is a man with great ambitions. For the princes who have no direct conflict of interest, he can also win them over, especially Zhang Yang, a prince who does not have much ambition and ability, but occupies a key position, he spares no effort to win over.

Both sides are guest troops in Jizhou. Yuan Shao didn't put the hope of victory on them, otherwise he wouldn't have let them march slowly while scavenging for grain and grass.

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Yang's letter arrived, Cao Ren discussed a few words with the deputy general Shi Jian and the Lu Kuang brothers, and immediately made a decision. The first cut and then the prelude went north to fight.

Yuan Shao was indeed very annoyed when he first received the news, but soon his attention was attracted by You Heng. Later, Wang Yu led the main force of the Qingzhou Army to kill, and he thought he had a plan. Not angry, but happy.

This time, it was Tai Shici's turn to be under pressure.

Cao Ren's appearance is not just as simple as having one more enemy army. With Cao Ren's reinforcements, he was plagued by internal and external troubles. The Hanoi Army, which had almost lost its combat effectiveness, reinvigorated.

Caught in on both sides, Tai Shi Cigen couldn't parry. He can fight again. It is also impossible to conjure up troops out of nothing, and it is a completely unattainable task to fight a head-on battle with 300 light cavalry and 20,000 troops.

If there is only one way, even if it is a famous general like Cao Ren, he can also use the geographical environment and mass base to try to deal with the enemy, and if he can't win, he can drag out time. If he is lucky and the enemy divides his troops, he may have a chance to repeat his old tricks and give Cao Ren a different defeat.

His task is to harass the enemy and contain him, and if he can contain the division all the way, he has already exceeded the quota.

However, when the two armies advanced step by step, echoing each other, Tai Shici found that he had lost the space to maneuver. Of course, the enemy will also divide his troops, but every time he divides his troops, the distance between the two lines of soldiers and horses is very close, and there are many soldiers, and the men and horses of the detachment are at least more than 2,000.

In such a situation, there are no fighters to be found, and the best way to deal with them is to leave the battlefield. But Tai Shi Ci couldn't do that, and the two enemy troops were wielding butcher knives all the way to kill. As long as there is contact with the Qingzhou Army, they will be robbed and bankrupt, participated in the operation against the enemy, and even directly slaughtered all over the house.

Cao Ren directly released the news, saying that he wanted to solve the mob in this area once and for all, so as to set an example!

More and more people began to move closer to Tai Shici's place, which undoubtedly increased Tai Shici's burden, and at the same time firmly restrained him. Facing countless pairs of expectant eyes, Tai Shici knew that he couldn't go, and if he left, he wouldn't be punished or anything, but his conscience would be condemned for the rest of his life.

He stayed behind and began to plan a battle that would be toughest ever.

The odds are pitifully low.

There were quite a few people gathered around him, and the total number had exceeded 30,000. But the enemy army has 17,000 people, and he can't even make up 17,000 young and strong, and most of the more than 30,000 people are old and weak, women and children, and only 5,000 are full of young and strong. To use such a rabble to confront the enemy is undoubtedly to hit a stone with an egg.

After discussion, Tai Shici finally adopted Pei Yuanshao's suggestion and led the people to fight and retreat, which was a tactic often used by the Yellow Turban Army.

Mobile warfare sounds similar to large-scale guerrillas, but in fact it is far from it, Tai Shici is easy to command light cavalry to and fro, but he is much worse at commanding the people. The speed of the people's march was so slow that they could not even cover ten miles in a day, and the speed at which light horsemen traveled two hundred miles in a day and night was not the same thing at all.

After Tai Shici personally broke off, he set up various ambushes along the way, and even risked a counterattack, but he still couldn't stop the enemy from chasing in.

In the end, he and his team were blocked under Dongyang City.

Dongyang City is at the junction of the Bohai Sea and the Qinghe River, a hundred miles to the north, is Guangchuan City, and is quite close to the boundary bridge where Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao fought a decisive battle that day.

Tai Shi Ci originally planned to get in touch with the Youzhou army in the Bohai Sea, but unfortunately the team was too slow, and as soon as they reached the border, they were caught up.

The enemy troops surrounded them from the southwest and southwest, and the crowd was overwhelming, and there was no end in sight. It's like an endless ocean. Looking at such a scene, even with Tai Shici's bravery, he couldn't help but be a little depressed: "Lao Pei, Eleven, this time I played too big, and I affected everyone." ”

Li Shiyi laughed loudly: "The horse leather shroud, the man is what he wants, but what does the general say?" It's pretty much the same. ”

Pei Yuanshao grinned: "When the road is uneven, the sword rises." General Ziyi is a hero, and if he can fight side by side with the general, our life is worth it. ”

"General Ziyi, although Dongyang City is not big, there are not many soldiers in the city. If you can attack it and defend the city, there will be no turnaround. Zhou Yi, who has an ordinary appearance and a very low-key style, did not show his attitude as proudly as his companions, but kept looking for fighters.

"It's too late." Tai Shi Ci shook his head, of course he wouldn't have thought of such a simple way, the problem was that he couldn't do it: "Say it again." It's useless to go into the city, there are too many people who go with us, but they bring too little food, and they enter the city. I'm afraid that the food won't last for three or five days, and then it will be bad. ”

"What does the general mean......" Zhou Yi heard another meaning from Tai Shici's tone, compared to being trapped in a lonely city. He seems to have other plans?

"It's simple." Tai Shi Ci raised his hand and pointed around, and said with a smile: "The terrain around Dongyang is open. Extending in all directions, even if there are 100,000 soldiers, it is impossible to block it, just so that the people can flee in all directions. ”

"Scattered?" Pei Yuanshao was startled, and subconsciously asked, "What about us?" ”

"Of course, it's for everyone!" Tai Shi Ci said something very scary with a relaxed face: "I will enter the territory of the Bohai Sea soon, is it possible that the people who follow us have marks on their faces?" Can Cao and Zhang kill the two thieves all the way to the end? ”

"That being said, what are we going to do, after the break?" Pei Yuanshao nodded, shook his head again, stunned and confused.

Sure enough, I only heard Tai Shici raise his hand and point to the location of the enemy's general flag, and said domineeringly: "Charge into the formation, give him a thief to capture the king first!" ”

Pei Yuanshao was stupid, it was an army of 20,000, and he used 300 people to rush, isn't this sent to death? He looked left and right, trying to tell from the faces of the others whether he was dreaming or if he was too crazy. As a result, whether it was the taciturn Zhou Yi or the steady and meticulous Li Shiyi, they all showed the same resolute look on their faces at this moment.

It's all crazy......

In other words, Qingzhou Junlai is such a style.

Pei Yuanshao finally understood.

Tai Shi Ci patted Pei Yuanshao's shoulder and dropped a sentence lightly: "Old Pei, the lord asked you to come out with a certain person, doesn't there be another task?" Anyway, you don't have good riding skills, so don't follow, so as not to hold back, you walk in the crowd, and complete the task of the main bus agent. ”

"But I ......"

Li Shiyi interrupted Pei Yuanshao's argument: "Brother Pei, General Ziyi is right, you must take major matters first. ”

"To organize the people, we also need the strength of Brother Pei, and the matter of the future will be handed over to us." Zhou Yi nodded to Pei Yuanshao, showing a rare smile.

His eyes were hot, tears blurred his vision, and Tai Shi Ci's heroic shout came from his ears: "Brothers, get on the horse!" Let's go give Cao Ren something awesome and take a look! ”

"Give him something awesome and take a look!" The shouts of the three hundred heroes instantly overshadowed the earth-shattering drums.

No fear, no regrets!

The people were alarmed, and asked each other about what had happened, and those in the know told each other with grief, and the news spread quickly.

"General Taishi is going to desperately cut off everyone!"

"Can you win?"

"Of course you can......'t fight" Although it is a fact, the three words "can't win" still can't be said, so the person who spoke changed his words: "General Taishi wants to use his life to exchange everyone's life!" ”

The sorrow was loud.

Taishi Ciqing took out the halberd, patted the neck of the yellow horse, and suddenly shouted: "Qingzhou Tiger Ben ......"

"Invincible in the world!" The response is overwhelming.

"Step into battle!" No longer hesitated, and then did not look back, Tai Shici took the lead and fought out on horseback, aiming directly at Cao Ren's general flag!

"No return!" With the determination to die, the three hundred elite horsemen launched a fierce attack.
