Chapter Eighty-Four: The Cavalry Storms the City

Yijing, Inner City.

Gongsun Chan stood on the top of the watchtower, watching the tragic battle in the inner city, and his hands on the stone railing were trembling. The raid failed, the north gate was lost, the morale of the army was lost, and I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on!

"Xu'er is right! I regret not listening to what he said, I shouldn't have rashly sent someone to deliver the message, the guide was used by Yuan Shao! I think that my Gongsun Chan Hero I would end up like this......"

Shaking his head and sighing, Gongsun Chan seemed to have made up his mind.

There are two people standing behind Gongsun Zhan, who are Gongsun Zhan's younger brother Gongsun Fan and Changshi Guan Jing.

"Report, General. The enemy army has built a dirt road outside the walls of the north gate, climbed over the walls, and sent catapults and carts into the city, which are being transported to the inner city! ”

Suddenly, a small soldier ran up the watchtower and reported to Gongsun Zhan, but after not answering him for a long time, he was waved back by Gongsun Fan in annoyance.

Gongsun Fan persuaded and said: "Big brother, it's better to make peace with Yuan Shaoyan!" Although we have had several enemies with him, we are both Hanchen, and I think there may be a turnaround. ”

Guan Jing said: "Yes, lord." It's a big deal that we quit Yijing and promise to obey Yuan Shao's dispatch in the future. ”

"Peace? Even if he surrenders, he won't agree! Gongsun Chan sneered, "If we besiege Yecheng, you say, will we make peace with him?" ”

Gongsun Fan and Guan Jing were speechless, they both knew that this was impossible, and they just said it to comfort Gongsun Zhan.

At this moment, another soldier ran up to the watchtower, looking in a hurry, and said: "General, the enemy has attacked the inner city with catapults and rushing carts!" General Tian Kai asked the general about the countermeasures, our side has suffered heavy losses, and it may be difficult to hold on! ”

"Defend the city! If you lose the inner city, let Tian Kai come to see him! ”

Gongsun Chan shouted a sentence in a low voice.

The soldiers had no choice but to retreat as promised.

Thundered.

Huge stones flew through the air and bombarded the walls of the inner city. Beneath the inner city, iron-roofed chapels slammed into the city gates again and again, driven by dozens of soldiers.

In another moment, the sun was about to drown in the western sky, and the sky and earth suddenly turned gray.

Suddenly, a small soldier climbed up the watchtower with a rolling belt, knelt on the ground and shouted in a trembling voice: "General, general!" General Tian Kai is dead! ”

"What?"

Gongsun Chan turned around.

The little soldier shouted: "General Tian Kai commanded the soldiers to defend at the head of the city, but unfortunately he was hit by a boulder and his upper body was rotten...... The enemy's catapults are almost about to collapse the walls! ”

Gongsun Zhan Muran turned around and looked at the inner city in front of him, which was full of ruins and broken walls, and fireworks were endless.

"Is it over?"

Gongsun Chan whispered, and then he saw a shining star streak across the north. He said to himself, Is that the fall of the stars? Does that mean I should die?

If Lu Chen was next to him, he would definitely say, big brother, your eyes are not good, it is a Kong Ming lantern, oh no, now it is called Shiyuan lantern. It's not dark yet, do you think you can see any stars other than the morning star?

The north gate of Yijing, in the city tower.

Although he learned just now that the camp was attacked by the main force of the Yellow Turbans again, Yuan Shao still scalded a pot of wine in a leisurely manner, and sat by the charcoal stove with Tian Feng and Fu Zhi to guide the country.

In Yuan Shao's opinion, although the ambush was not successful, it was a mistake to let the Montenegrin army sneak out and sneak attack his camp. However, it doesn't matter anymore, he has already transported all the siege equipment into the city, and after a wild bombardment, he can break the city by taking a ladder, and Gongsun Chan is dead!

As for Lu Chen's hundreds of cavalry, Yuan Shao and the others didn't pay attention to it at all, they only felt that his troops were too small in number and would not do anything. The Montenegrin army attacked the camp in an attempt to attract Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, and Yuan Shao was also happy to stalemate with them outside the city, concentrating on letting Zhang He attack the inner city.

"Lord, great things can be done, and the fall of Gongsun Chan is imminent! In the future, this Youzhou will be the land of the lord and the horse! ”

Frustrated, he saluted, and then drank it in one gulp.

Yuan Shao also drank a bottle and said with a smile: "Gongsun Zhan, why worry about it?" ”

Tian Feng said: "Lord, the inner city has not been broken, and Gongsun Chan has been killed before he is necked, and victory is too early." We must not be careless! ”

What Yuan Shao hates the most is Tian Feng, this old man can't speak, a typical-stirring stick.

Fu Zhu also didn't like Tian Feng, so he argued with Tian Feng, saying that this battle had been fought to this point, and it was won no matter what, while Tian Feng argued with Fu Zhu on the grounds that Xiang Yu had repeatedly defeated Liu Bang and did not kill Liu Bang.

Yuan Shao was upset when he heard this, and suddenly heard someone shouting outside the city tower: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”

The three of them listened intently at the same time, and after a moment they heard the soldiers shouting, "The cavalry is attacking the city!" The cavalry is besieging the city! ”

"What? Where did the cavalry come from? How can there be a reason for cavalry to attack the city? Whose horse can climb a ladder? Yuan Shao stood up scolding, ready to go out to ask his own soldiers, and wanted to arrest and beat the rumor-mongers.

"Cavalry siege? Rotten! Tian Feng immediately jumped up, grabbed Yuan Shao, who wanted to go out, and said, "Don't go out, the lord must not go out, it must be Lu Chen's cavalry who has come back to attack Beicheng again!" The herald ordered the guards to defend against the enemy, and the lord quickly went down to the castle tower and fled from here. ”

"How can there be a reason for cavalry to attack a city? This is not ...... at all," Yuan Shao stopped halfway through speaking. Because, he had already heard the neighing of the war horses, and the shouts of killing, very close, on the city wall not far away. Did the cavalry really attack the city?

"Do you remember the dirt road we built that went up to the wall? Do you remember that it was a plan offered by Wen Chou? Does the lord remember that Wen Chou was captured by Lu Chen's subordinates before, and then escaped back unexpectedly? Feng only then found out that this qiē turned out to be a ploy that Lu Chen'er had already calculated! Tian Feng said, "He has already planned to attack Beicheng, and the target is you, the lord." Because, only in this way can we truly alleviate the danger of Gongsun Zhan's downfall! ”

"This ...... Lu Chen'er is so bewitching? Yuan Shao was completely stunned.

At this time, Yuan Shao's own soldiers broke in and said that Lu Chen's tiger ben had gone up the city tower along the dirt road. Originally, they had already discovered the other party's cavalry early, and they only thought that the other party was here to harass and leave, so they did not report back to Yuan Shao. After all, up and down the north gate, the Yuan army totaled more than 2,000 people, and there was no risk in possessing the city.

However, the dozens of people who were carrying the baggage on the dirt road suddenly took out their knives and rushed to the city wall, and the defenders on the city wall were scarce, and they were immediately accused of blocking the dirt road. At the same time, the tiger in the distance rushed to kill and rushed up the city wall along the dirt road. Although the number of more than 20 people was small, they were all brave and ten, and the defenders did not recapture the dirt road for a while, blocking Lu Chen's cavalry.

"The other party seems to have a master's guidance, the lord go quickly!" Tian Feng's expression was solemn, the other party's actions were interlocking, needless to say, and in advance to bury the elite among the people, accurately launched, and opened the way for his cavalry, this kind of cooperation is amazing.
