Chapter 242: The Battle of Zhuojun
After receiving the news of Dong Zhuo's death, Lin Sen once sent a team of envoys, carrying valuable gifts to Chang'an to meet the Son of Heaven, paying tribute, and bringing Lin Sen's goodwill, saying that he respected the will of the imperial court, and the envoy had also returned, and brought back an edict from the imperial court, his military position was promoted again, and he was worshiped by the imperial court as General Zuo, and was named the Marquis of Qingquan, just the lowest pavilion marquis, but now Lin Sen is also a person with a knighthood!
said that it was for Zang Hong to play the imperial court, Lin Sen was also in the form of walking, just like his own promotion, sent a messenger carrying tribute gifts, and rushed to Chang'an again, on the one hand, thanksgiving, on the other hand, to let the court know that Bingzhou is now his territory, and Zang Hong is the history of Bingzhou!
After handling these things, Lin Sen led the army into the territory of Youzhou, and the army drove straight in, and came directly to the territory of Zhuo County, Lin Sen did not choose to attack Zhuo County, for fear of startling the snake, but turned to the direction of Fanyang, where Gongsun Fan's troops were stationed, and it had long been found out that Fanyang City was the base of the Great Guild of the Nine Heavens of Roar.
The large guild of the Nine Heavens of Roaring Thunder has suffered several defeats at the hands of Lin Sen, with serious losses, and the strength of elite players in the guild has decreased a lot, because of the lack of food and grass equipment, the quality of the army is uneven, and the number is only more than 500,000, which can be described as a great reduction in strength, Lin Sen has 300,000 main forces and 300,000 garrisons, and it is easy to exterminate them!
The station of the Nine Days of Roaring was basically built around Fanyang City, and several forced conscriptions of soldiers and horses caused its own agricultural development to not keep up with the speed. Most of the food and grass are purchased from the system or players, which is more difficult to maintain, but even so. has to continue to expand the army, and he has already formed a grudge with Lin Sen. is irreconcilable, not to mention that he is following Gongsun Chan at the moment. It is even more impossible to surrender to Lin Sen.
Jiutian also knew about Lin Sen's movements, and he was deeply shocked, thinking that it was almost impossible to resist Lin Sen with his own strength, so he asked Gongsun Fan of Zhuojun for help, but he didn't know that most of the troops under Gongsun Fan had been transferred north by Gongsun Zhan, and it was already difficult to protect himself at this moment, so how could he rescue him.
Lin Sen quickly headed towards Fan Yang, and found that the player villages along the way were empty. Thinking that Jiutian had already known his movements, he had collected all the population and materials of these villages in advance, and it seemed that he was going to clear the wilderness and consume it with himself.
After passing through a few villages, I finally saw the first player town, and the scale was a junior town, as the first defense of the nine days of roaring, there were more than 100,000 defenders in the city, and it was completely a food delivery for Lin Sen. Lin Sen ordered catapults and ballistas to destroy all the opponent's defense equipment. Later, he ordered the trapped faction that participated in the battle for the first time to attack the city.
The original Gao Shun only had a few thousand people trapped, but now when he arrives in Jizhou, he can lead 10,000 soldiers in the camp, and all of them are well-equipped and brave and good at fighting. It's only been a few months of training, and there will be more in the future, which makes him very happy. I felt that my strength had a place to play, and I was more and more in awe of Lin Sen. It was Lin Sen who gave him a chance.
Trap fighters, each attacked. Those who are invincible are called trapped camps. The trap camp is the hoplite, and the spear, shield, and crossbow are the standing weapons of the soldiers, and it is an infantry with all kinds of arms.
A small city was not a problem for the trapping camp, and under the cover of catapults and ballistas, the city was captured in less than an hour. Lin Sen didn't stop for a moment, he continued to move forward, and he came to Fanyang City without any obstacles all the way.
It's so undisciplined, it's really undisciplined, the roaring nine days have all disappeared, there is no one on the wall of Fan Yang, Lin Sen is not afraid of ambushes, his army is so elite, with the strength of the roaring nine days, even if he ambushes him, he has enough strength to deal with it, the army slowly entered Fan Yang City, and after some searching, it was found that there was no player and soldier of the Nine Heavens Guild in the city, and all the materials and grass in the city, including the craftsmen, disappeared. Lin Sen found a common man and asked, "Uncle, where are the defenders in this city?" ”
The old man trembled and said: "General, please don't kill me, I will say that just over three hours ago, the defenders in the city robbed the people of all their food and money, and ran north from the north gate. ”
It seems that I have already thought about it in the past nine days, and I know that if I can't defend it, the whole army will be wiped out on the day the city is broken, and the girl will run away.
"Zilong, you immediately lead Bai Ma Yi to pursue to the north to see if you can catch up with the enemy, you must be careful and guard against the enemy's ambush."
Lin Sen just had the attitude of trying, in fact, he didn't count it in his heart, Youzhou produced horses, and there must be a lot of war horses in the Roaring Nine Heavens Guild, but it is always no problem to try whether to chase it or not.
Lin Sen took out a part of the military rations and distributed them to the people of Fanyang, although there is not much for the time being, but it can be slowly transferred from the rear, and now there are not many others in Jizhou, and the grain is still very surplus.
After arranging the rest of the army, Lin Sen sent a large number of sentinels, scattered around Fanyang, the main job is to explore the terrain around Gu'an and Zhuoxian, this Youzhou is not his territory, or act after figuring it out, so that it is safe.
The army was stationed in Fanyang, and soon after Zhao Yun led the army back, as expected: "Lord, the last general did not catch up with the enemy army, but the signs of the enemy army are going in the direction of Shanggu County." ”
It seems that this is going to the hegemony of the royal family, and it is to join forces to resist.
After resting for five days, the sentry brought back the whole map of the topography of Zhuo County, and the general situation of the defenders in each city.
Zhuoxian County is strong, and there are many troops inside, but most of them are weak brigades, and there are only two strong armies around him, the trap camp and Baima Yicong, if the strong attack is bound to cause too many casualties, this is what Lin Sen does not want to see, and decided to wait for Zhao Yun to pacify those cities before designing the siege together, he is responsible for dragging Gongsun Fan, so that he can not go out of the city to rescue other cities.
After resting for more than ten days, Zhao Yun finally returned, successfully won three cities, and was not hindered, and left 20,000 defenders and a partial general in each city to defend the city, and after a day of rest, the army came to Zhuoxian County.
Gongsun Fan in the city shouted: "General Lin, I admit that it was our fault before. I will definitely persuade my father-in-law General Sun to reconcile with Jizhou in the future. We will never encroach on any more land in Jizhou. Please also ask General Lin to withdraw his troops! ”
Lin Sen smiled when he heard this: "There is nothing to say between you and me, I am already here today." There is absolutely no reason to withdraw from the army. I advise you to retreat as soon as possible, otherwise I don't know if you still have any hope of seeing Gongsun Chan when the city is broken. ”
"Lin Sen, you have such a big breath!" Gongsun Fan was furious: "Now there are still millions of soldiers and horses in my city, there is enough grain and grass, and this Zhuoxian city is strong, what qualifications do you have to shout." ”
"Oh? That's right! Lin Sen sneered: "In that case, why are you standing in the city and not going out?" Why don't you take your hundreds of thousands of troops out of the city to fight me in the field? ”
Gongsun Fan's face changed greatly, although his command had mobilized some soldiers and horses from other cities after these days, claiming to be a million. In fact, there are only 500,000 people, but the quality of the soldiers is generally not high. On the other hand, Lin Sen's army is elite, and even his elder brother Gongsun Zhan is not his opponent, let alone himself. If you go out of the city to fight, it will be a dead end.
After a long time, Gongsun Fan Cai said: "No matter how clever your words are, I will never lead the army out of the city. ”
"Haha! You're so confident! ”
Lin Sen returned to the formation and looked at Guo Jia and Frustration: "Is there a good way to be filial piety and frustrated?" ”
Guo Jia pondered for a moment. Then he said: "The army is strategic, and a strong attack is the next policy, although our army is elite, but if it is attacked, there will inevitably be casualties." If we can lure Gongsun Fan out of the city to fight with us, that would be the best way. ”
"So how do you do that?" Lin Sen asked.
Guo Jia said: "Now we have an army of 600,000. Zilong and Xu Rong each led 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack the remaining two cities in Zhuo County, and the lord led the remaining soldiers and horses to stay here, making an arrogant gesture. In fact, Zilong and Xu Rong were hiding in the shadows. In this way, Gongsun Fan thought that our army was small, and this was the only chance for him to defeat our army. I expected that he would lead a great army out of the city against our army. When the time comes, the ambush will be everywhere, and it will be able to break Gongsun Fan. ”
Lin Sen listened. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Wonderful plan, wonderful plan, filial piety and wisdom, unparalleled in the world." After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, knowing the master's good plan and sympathizing with each other.
Lin Sen deliberately came to the front of the army and shouted loudly: "This Gongsun Fan can only shrink to defend the city, and dare not come out to fight with us and others, now Zilong, you lead 200,000 soldiers and horses to capture Liangxiang, Xu Rong, you lead 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city." Then come back and besiege the city together. ”
Zhao Yun instantly realized: "Then the lord has less than 200,000 soldiers and horses left here, can he do it?" ”
Lin Sen deliberately said loudly: "It's okay, Gongsun Fan is a turtle with a shrunken head, he has already been frightened, and he dares to sneak attack me, you go to attack the city and plunder the land, I am ready to wait for your triumphant return." ”
Hearing this, Gongsun Fan in the city almost fainted, so he didn't take himself seriously, and insulted himself repeatedly, Gongsun Fan shouted loudly: "Lin Sen, you dare to look down on me so much, I am inseparable from you!" ”
Lin Sen smiled faintly when he heard this, and said: "Haha, you just cower in the city, the city will be mine sooner or later, I will see how you defend this lonely city." ”
Gongsun Fan was also shocked when he heard this, and thought: Yes, in order to defend Zhuoxian, he has almost transferred the soldiers and horses from other cities, if Lin Sen is allowed to capture Liangxiang and Fangcheng, he will be a lonely city, and there will be no way to retreat at that time. Soon, I saw Zhao Yun and Xu Rong really leading the army in the direction of the two cities.
"Haha, Lin Sen, Lin Sen, you are too arrogant, the 400,000 army is gone, and there are less than 200,000 left, I will go out of the city to fight with you in the field, see how you can resist."
Lin Sen continued to act, his face stiffened, and then recovered: "Then you go out of the city and try, I will kill you under the horse." ”
Lin Sen's expression was full of Gongsun Fan's eyes, he didn't wait, he couldn't wait, he immediately summoned all the soldiers and horses out of the city to prepare for a field battle with Lin Sen, life and death in this move, Gongsun Fan also became decisive.
Faced with this situation, Lin Sen sneered: "You are still out of the city after all, since you are out, then we will decide the victory or defeat in one battle!" ”
As soon as Lin Sen's banner waved, the sharpshooters began to attack, trapping the camp in a neat formation, approaching little by little.
Gongsun Fan's army has many cavalry, but there is no elite white horse follower, the cavalry charges ahead, and the infantry follows, but in the face of the archers can not defend at all, and after a few rounds of arrow rain, they will suffer heavy losses, but Gongsun Fan's army is finally many, and there are still a large number of cavalry rushing up.
This is the battlefield of the trapped camp, the trapped camp is a complete army, holding a large shield in front of the army, and the spears and crossbows behind the attack in unison, and the cavalry that rushed over fell off their horses, killed or wounded.
Before Gongsun Fan could order a second attack, the sound of horses' hooves was heard from the north and east.
"Lin Sen, are you lying to me?" ……
