Chapter 723: The Danger of Beiping
Youzhou, Beiping City.
The city wall was crowded, and more than 3,000 new troops in Beiping, which had not been formed for a long time, all went to the city to defend, they were all recruited by Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gonggong of Beiping, when he decided to conquer Jizhou in the south, and he had never been on the battlefield.
Tian Kai, the military general who was in charge of staying behind, looked solemn, the war against Yuan Shao had made the elite of the Beiping army pour out, and now these recruits in the city are not worth relying on, but he has no choice now, they must stick to Beiping and wait for Lord Taishou to come back to save him. As for going out of the city to face the battle, the generals who stayed behind did not naively think that the three thousand Beiping recruits could support the Yellow Turban Army ten times as long as they had for too long, and the Yellow Turban Army outside the city was tightly dispatched and the army was neat, and it was obviously a veteran of the battlefield who had fought for a long time.
The only good thing was that the besieging Yellow Turban army still did not have decent siege equipment, and after the 30,000-strong army set up camp outside the city, they sent a large number of soldiers to cut down wood nearby to make improvised ladders and rush carts, just as the Yellow Turbans had attacked the county in the past.
After the fat dragon baby led his troops to occupy Liaodong, it seems that he has been promoted from a wandering rogue to a prince who dominates one side, but the system has not taken off the hat of the Yellow Turban Army "thief", and the essence of its peasant rebel army has not changed, and the most direct expression is that the Liaodong Yellow Turban Army has never been able to master the manufacturing technology of high-level siege equipment! In the Liangzhou War of Resistance, everyone saw the power of high-level siege equipment, and they couldn't master those techniques, and the Yellow Turban Army suffered a lot when the large army attacked the city and plundered the land.
Beiping has been surrounded on all sides, and it is very unrealistic to want people to break out of the encirclement and send letters, and the Yellow Turban Army did not symbolically leave a way for the Beiping army in the city to survive, which made the left-behind generals completely abandon the idea of leading the troops to "strategic transfer". He had no way of knowing why the Yellow Turbans would do this. Even if the strength of the army is ten times that of the defenders, in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, it is also possible to "surround three and leave one" in the hope that the defenders will be lucky, and besiege the city like this, which is clearly forcing the defenders to fight to the death, and what is even funnier is that after the Yellow Turban Army besieges the city, they have to rush to make siege equipment and cannot attack the city.
Although there are not many soldiers in Beiping City, there are definitely a lot of various materials and equipment used to defend the city, and they will taste powerful when the Yellow Turban prepares the simple siege equipment to attack. In Tian Kai's view, it should not be difficult for the 3,000 New Army to insist on Beiping for 35 days. In less than three days, the main force of the Southern Expedition will be able to deal a blow to the Yellow Turban Army that took advantage of the fire to loot, and the Yellow Turban Army's current measures are simply ridiculous!
Gongsun Zhan poured the troops of Beiping to the south, and confidently and boldly entrusted the rear to Tian Kai's hands, which shows that he has confidence in Tian Kai's ability and loyalty. The shape of the enemy's strength and weakness can only make him worry, but it can't shake his will to stick to waiting for help, Tian Kai said to himself: "When the Wuhuan grassland suddenly appeared in the north of Youbeiping. I thought that the Yellow Turban Army and the clever people were in the middle of the dispatch, but now it seems that it is ...... A peasant army is a peasant army! ”
Yellow Turban Camp outside the city.
This time, he agreed with Yuan Shao to attack Gongsun Zan before and after, and the fat dragon baby did not dare to be careless at all, leaving the dragon god to lead Dahong and Huanglong to sit in Liaodong, and the rest of the elite soldiers and strong generals all went to Youbeiping. Known as the "No. 1 Fierce General of the Yellow Turban", Guan Hai will naturally not be absent, Du Yuan, Tao Sheng, Zhang Baiqi, Guo Daxian and others are all dressed in battle, coupled with the Yellow Turban's prestige of the victory over Fuyu, the military appearance is very prosperous.
The fat dragon baby and a group of yellow turban generals are discussing in the big tent. All the generals are there, but Guan Hai and Zhang Baiqi are not seen. The baby fat dragon casually sits in the middle. A number of historical figures all stood under the tent in an orderly manner, and no one objected to this, which shows that the position of the fat dragon baby in the Yellow Turban Army is very stable.
The thin Tao Sheng squinted his triangular eyes. Said: "Collar." We have done as you requested. The sergeants were ordered to cut down trees around Peiping. The feint is making final preparations for the siege. But. As it stands. Tian Chou should not have the ability to go out of the city to seek the battlefield. subordinates thought. It's time for the next step. ”
The fat dragon baby nodded with satisfaction: "Very good." Just got the news. Gongsun Chan is now on his way back to Beipingdi. We don't have to work so hard anymore. Before Gongsun Chan rushed back. We are going to besiege the city of Beiping at the same time. Move as many villagers as possible in Youbeiping to Liaodong. Tao Sheng led 5,000 sergeants out immediately. Migrate the people! ”
"Subordinates take orders!"
Tao Sheng tried to hold his thin chest. Speak loudly. The task of migrating people is tedious. But there is almost no danger of life. It is definitely a beautiful difference for Tao Sheng, who has always been timid.
"The siege of the city was handled by Guo Daxian with 12,000 soldiers. Although Tian Chou did not dare to go out of the city to engage in the battle. But beware of him seeing through the encirclement of our army and not attacking the mystery. So he sent people out of the city to warn Gongsun Zhan. Not a single soldier can be left alive! ”
"Subordinates take orders!"
"The fifteen thousand elite soldiers commanded by Guan Hai and Zhang Baiqi should also be almost ready, after dark, Du Yuan will run with me and lead the remaining 13,000 people to join them."
"Yes!"
Zhang Bai's 15,000 elite soldiers on the ground were not to recruit Fuyu's troops, but to take a boat from Liaodong to take the sea route from Liaodong at night and quietly sneak to the Beiping army to set up an ambush on the way back. From the very beginning, the Yellow Turban Army did not plan to storm Beiping, but first targeted Gongsun Zhan's body, and the siege of Beiping was just a bait to lure Gongsun Chan to come to his rescue. The gains and losses of one city and one place in Peiping cannot eliminate the threat of Gongsun Chan once and for all, and only by defeating the existing more than 30,000 main forces under the command of Gongsun Chan can we truly grasp the initiative and finally win this war.
The main force of 20,000 Yellow Turbans may not be enough to compete with more than 30,000 Beiping troops, and there are still more than 30,000 Yellow Turban troops that can be called in Liaodong, and it is not impossible to send a large army from Liaodong to participate in the war, but this is not in line with the battle plan formulated by the Dragon God. Before completing the ambush of Gongsun Zhan's main force, the Yellow Turban Army should avoid excessively stimulating Gongsun Chan as much as possible. Only by convincing Gongsun Chan that the Yellow Turban troops attacking the Right Beiping Land are enthusiastically surrounding the outside of Beiping City, will the Dragon God's plan be more likely to succeed!
The Beiping Army is the strongest army in the world, and although the Liaodong Yellow Turbans are also the elite of a hundred battles, the difference in the level of different arms in the game is difficult to overcome, and the Yellow Turban Army is a big step behind the Beiping Army at the initial stage - this is also an important factor for the fat dragon baby to lead the Liaodong Yellow Turbans to "surrender" to the imperial court. To deal with such an enemy, forcibly block the retreat of the Beiping Army and attack the Jizhou Army in front and back, even if it can win the Yellow Turban Army, the loss will inevitably be huge, the fat dragon baby will not understand Yuan Shao's danger, put all his own capital into it, besiege the city to help, half of the ambush is the combat strategy of the Liaodong Yellow Turban Army.
The generals went out of their tents to prepare, leaving only the fat dragon baby sitting alone in the tent, his eyes flashing.
"I'm about to face Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong, and I'm really a little nervous.
North of Yizhou, boundary bridge.
Yan Gang, the general of Beiping, sent Gongsun Fan and Guan Jing to lead his troops to march north, and he was worried.
Since he learned that Beiping was besieged an hour ago, his restless feelings have been lingering in Yan Gang's heart, Beiping is where Gongsun Zhan's foundation is, and most of the families of the soldiers under his command are in the city, and Yan Gang's family is no exception. Although Tian Chou, who stayed in Beiping, was also a general who stood alone, the 3,000 recruits in the city were really useless, and the 30,000 Yellow Turban elites besieged the city, and Beiping was in danger!
Rescue soldiers like fighting fire, Gongsun Chan has personally led the White Horse Yicong to Beiping, only this most elite light cavalry can rush back in the shortest possible time, and only Gongsun Chan can maximize the ability of the White Horse Yicong. Yan Gang believed that even if the three thousand White Horse Yicong could not defeat the Liaodong Yellow Turbans, they would definitely be able to crush the Yellow Turban Army's siege attempts, the question was, could they arrive before the city was broken!
The troubles are not only the danger of Beiping, Yuan Shao's nose is smarter than a dog, the Beiping army has just begun to retreat, and the Jizhou army is approaching step by step like a ghost that refuses to dissipate, and they have never been as brave as they are now some time ago. Yan Gang could see that the current advance of the Yizhou army was still relatively restrained, and they were patiently testing the reaction of the Beiping army to confirm whether the main force of Beiping had really retreated, and this state would not last long, and after the test was over, Yuan Shao's troops would pounce on them, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Beiping army's unintentional love of war to find ways to take advantage of it, and to snow the shame of the previous defeat.
It is likely that Yuan Shao and the fat dragon baby in Liaodong have secretly reached some kind of agreement, and it seems a little incredible that the Guanguan lord will join forces with the Yellow Turban thief, but other than that, it is difficult to explain that the fat dragon baby will brazenly attack Beiping when the Beiping army occupies the initiative on the Yizhou battlefield! Moreover, how could the Jizhou army, which was suppressed in the camp and did not dare to fight, be pressed out so quickly?
Since Yuan Shao and Feilong Baobao are likely to have joined forces, the most worrying thing is that the Jizhou army is entangled with Gongsun Zhan's main force to delay the return of the Beiping army to the division, so as to cooperate with the military operations of the Liaodong Yellow Turban Army in the right Beiping.
This situation is not impossible, the Beiping Army's southern expedition has taught Yuan Shao a good lesson, this iron-blooded army will be one of the most terrible opponents of the Jizhou Army, and the powerful Beiping Army will be the lingering nightmare of the Jizhou Army. Yan Gang believed that if there was an opportunity to smash the foundation of the Beiping Army into pieces, Yuan Shao would be very happy to get involved, even if he could not get much benefit from it.
Therefore, Gongsun Zhan led the cavalry to go out first, and Gongsun Fan and Guan Jing led the large army to follow, but the general Yan Gang stayed at the boundary bridge with 5,000 elite soldiers to block the pursuing soldiers.
The soldiers came to report, "Yan Liang led 10,000 Jizhou troops to approach us!" ”
"Got it, order the whole army, prepare for battle!"
