Chapter 514: The Defensive Battle of Youzhou (3)

Youzhou City is worthy of being a county town, and Yuan Shao has lost a lot of men and horses in the past few days, but he still hasn't entered it. The general battle is not only a strong attack, the siege of the city is a way to besiege three and leave one, so that the other party has a trace of luck will not die in the battle, but Yuan Shao used the tactics he is familiar with, but there is still no way to take Youzhou City, his army has been in Youzhou for more than three months, the consumption of grain and grass is very huge, seeing that autumn is followed by winter, Youzhou is located in the north, once it is covered with ice and snow in winter, it is really not conducive to the march, Yuan Shao is also anxious in his heart-

Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fought here for several months, Yanzhou Liu Dai didn't know which tendon was wrong to raise troops to conquer Taishan County, Taishan County was occupied by the rebels after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Dai now looked around and the only thing he could afford to provoke was the Taishan thief in Taishan County, he didn't dare to provoke Cao Cao in Yingchuan County, he didn't dare to provoke Yuan Shu in Huainan County, and he didn't dare to provoke Yuan Shao in Jizhou, as for Bohai Taishou Kong Rong had a very good personal relationship with him. Liu Dai raised 30,000 soldiers from Yanzhou to conquer Taishan County, wanting to take the Taishan thieves for his own use.

Chang'an City has fallen into the hands of Li Dao and Guo Yan with the help of Jia Xu, Hongnong County and Bingzhou are still in the hands of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and the large and small Taishou and county guards in Bingzhou are all superficially subservient to the imperial court, with Jia Xu's help, although the Xiliang army in Chang'an City is raging, it also abides by some rules; Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncles and nephews took the opportunity to occupy Nanyang County; There was also a war, that is, there was a Xiongnu movement in Xiliang, and Ma Teng urgently asked the court for help. However, there were no soldiers and horses that could be sent in the imperial court, and the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty were now all living on the nose of the people, and finally Liu Xie, the son of heaven, had no choice but to issue an edict to let Ma Teng recruit rebels on the spot to expel the Xiongnu.

Guo Jia in Youzhou City was in charge of all major military affairs, and he asked Gongsun Zan to find an eloquent man to teach him face-to-face, and asked him to quietly go out of the city to find Liu Yan and persuade Liu Yan to copy Yuan Shao's back road. According to the inform, Liu Yan is very selfish, when Gongsun Chan led the troops to resist the Xiongnu, there was a shortage of grain and grass, Liu Yan asked for help, Liu Yan was afraid that Gongsun Chan would make meritorious deeds and threaten his status, and the doorman around him had a bad idea when he saw it, and sent Gongsun Zhan's military rations to ten days late. Later, Dong Zhuo coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Gongsun Zan wanted to respond to Cao Cao's edict, but Liu Yan ignored the life and death of the Son of Heaven, according to the seniority Liu Yan was Liu Xie's imperial uncle, but in the end he did not send troops. Liu Yan also has Liu Yan's reason, that is, he is a descendant of the Liu family, so he must follow the law of the Liu family, and no foreign vassal is allowed to enter Beijing without the edict of the Son of Heaven, not to mention that it is still an edict, that is, a false holy decree!

"Generals-today I Guo Jia will assign you combat missions, you are all my Guo Jia's predecessors! Bai Ma Yicong made the Huns frightened and raised the prestige of my Han country, which really made Guo admire it very much! Youzhou is the main battlefield of Bai Ma Yicong, so General Yan Gang is still the main force on the battlefield this time, General Yan led Bai Ma Yi from 5,000 under the city gate, waiting for the three horn cannons outside the city after Bai Ma Yi attacked from the front! Next is General Tian Yu leading 3,000 men and horses to ambush outside the Jiepai Bridge, wait until Yuan Shao's army is defeated and immediately intercept and kill, but you need to let go of Yuan Shao's main army and only sweep away the broken Yuan army! I wonder if the two generals have any objections? "Guo Jia showed at the beginning that the task of arranging Yan Gang and Tian Yu is to take care of Gongsun Zhan's face, after all, Youzhou is still their main battlefield, but Guo Jia did not make it clear that they are not the key to deciding the victory, these two are fierce generals in the frontal battle!

"The last general commands-" Guo Jia's compliment not only made Gongsun Zhan's heart useful, even Yan Gang and Tian Yu felt extremely proud, at this time, of course, they were obeying Guo Jia's orders.

"General Liu Bei, General Guan Yu, General Zhang Fei, the three of you are a bit heavy, that is, you each lead two thousand men and horses to challenge Yuan Shao's men and horses without stopping, as long as you can kill the enemy general, don't let it go! Waiting for the right time to launch a full-scale general attack, now Yuan Shao's offensive is relatively tight, and the first battle is to move the battlefield away from the city wall, so that they have the opportunity to repair the city wall! I wonder if the three generals can take on the heavy responsibility? ”

"The last general commands-" Among them, the most excited are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, this is the favorite thing for the two brothers to do, there is no one alive under one achievement, a snake spear is like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter to take away one life after another, Zhou Yu found that Liu Bei's eyes were also glowing with green light, and now what he needs to send people under the fence is to be famous.

"Okay - the next thing is to be the person who needs to harass Yuan Shao's army, Pei Yuanshao, General Zhou Cang, the two of you lead the people of the headquarters to wait for the three generals Liu, Guan, and Zhang to challenge during the day, and the two of you take turns to disturb the enemy at night, find the right time to eliminate Yuan Shao's living forces, you can set fires and trap them! Huang Zhong and General Dian Wei, you two each take 500 men and horses, you need to detour back to Yuan Shao's rear army to find the hoarding of grain and grass, you must cut off Yuan Shao's grain road, it depends on the two. General Gan Ning, you lead the men and horses of your headquarters to uproot the camp leading to Yuan Shao on the sea, and ensure the smooth flow of the waterway and our supply line; General Zhang Liao and General Gao Shun, the main task of the two of you is Yuan Shao's cavalry and the first army, as long as they dare to come out, then you will beat me back. The generals performed their duties, and all waited until the three pillars of wolf smoke rose into the sky in Youzhou City, and the whole army approached Yuan Shao's camp! I don't know if you understand? The two most important points of this battle are to cut off Yuan Shao's grain route and encourage Liu Yan to make a gesture of sending troops, and Zhou Yu has sent a shadow such as Jizhou to spread rumors that Liu Dai and Cao Cao are going to invade Jizhou, and the latest news from Zhou Yu is that Lu Bu withdrew with 30,000 horses to occupy Hedong County, and there is a tendency to look down on Jizhou.

Yuan Shao's army is also full of talents, they chose a high mountain to observe Youzhou City, wanting to find out the weaknesses of Youzhou City, or to take a small road to attack Gongsun Zhan's grain road, and now they can only win by tricks if they can't do it head-on. It's just that in order not to distract Yuan Shao, Guo Jia asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to challenge every day, and at first there were still people in Yuan Shao's army to fight, but after Guan Yu and Zhang Fei killed more than a dozen generals in a row, Yuan Shao began to hesitate. Because Yan Liang and Wen Chou did not win against Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the battle, the four of them fought for 80 rounds without winning or losing, Yuan Shao was afraid of breaking the two generals and Ming Jin withdrew the troops, this time Zhang Fei rode alone every day to Yuan Shao's camp and scolded, Yuan Shao was hanging up the battle free card and his morale was getting lower and lower.

The confrontation between the two armies is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Lu Yi took five hundred Xiandeng troops to secretly bypass Youzhou City and go in the direction of Beiping! Yuan Shao accepted Xu You's suggestion, that is, to go deep behind enemy lines and draw wages from the bottom of the kettle - the goal was to take down Gongsun Zhan's family with lightning speed, so as to blackmail Gongsun Chan into surrendering! Dian Wei and Huang Zhongbing are looking for Yuan Shao's grain road in two ways, and both sides are competing for time, so it depends on who can seize the opportunity-
