Chapter 144: Youzhou Storm

The detailed report was very detailed, and Yuan Shao reported to Yuan Shao that Qingzhou overhauled the official road, issued an order for cavalry and shooting, and trained the militia.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed: "Hahaha, Lu Bu Xiao'er, I just think of training now, attack after the year, our troops will be ready after the year, it would be good if he could keep Qingzhou, Cao Cao will attack Qingzhou after the year." ”

"My lord, from now on, expand the cavalry, and form no less than 50,000 cavalry for rapid mobility, so that both the attack and the defense can be completed quickly, so that we can move quickly." ”

"Okay, pass down the order and let Gao Ran escort the 30,000 military horses of Youzhou City back to Jizhou."

Yuan Shao is very happy today, he has obtained the vast land of Youzhou, and it is also an important place to produce horses, and he was originally very strong among the princes in the world, and now he has become the strongest.

At this time, Tian Feng shook his head: "Lord, I always feel wrong. It's just early winter, and although the climate in Youzhou is cold, it's not unbearable. Lu Bu took Liaodong County, and the morale of the soldiers was strong, so there was no need to wait for the next year to attack. ”

Fu Zhu had a different opinion: "Tian Feng, you think wrong, that Liaodong Gongsun Du is extraordinary, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Lu Bu's victory was also a crushing victory. After losing the army, where did Lu Bu get the strength to attack our Jizhou. ”

Yuan Shao also didn't believe it: "Lu Bu has not stopped in the past few years, fighting with Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, the loss of strength is certain, so he will issue a riding and archery order and call on the people to learn to ride and shoot." ”

A strategist said with a smile: "Qingzhou is a yellow turban nest, the scorched earth after the war." Where can we compare to us, our people in Jizhou will bow and ride horses, and Yan Zhao has been a strong man since ancient times. ”

Tian Feng still shook his head: "No, although Lu Bu has been fighting, he will become stronger every time he fights." Although Gongsun Du was strong, he was defenseless, and he was attacked by Lu Bu and did not organize effective resistance at all, which means that Lu Bu not only did not suffer much loss, but also incorporated Gongsun Du's men and horses. We have just taken Youzhou, and our foothold is not stable, if Lu Bu sneaks attack, it is likely to be lost

Yuan Shao was busy laughing with the strategist, where did he hear Tian Feng's words.

Tian Feng was helpless, shook his head and went home to drink tea, I hope I thought too much, and hoped that Lu Bu would sneak attack Youzhou.

Yuan Shao wanted to expand the Jizhou cavalry, and issued an order for Gao Lan, who was guarding Youzhou, to send 30,000 war horses back.

The battle of Youzhou was very tragic, and more than 20,000 soldiers were killed under Ju Yi's command.

If it weren't for Gongsun Chan dropping the chain at a critical moment and setting fire to the building himself, it would be difficult to win.

After receiving the order, Gao Ran was ready for a few days, and it was not a small matter for 30,000 war horses to rush back to Jizhou, and there were people in front of him who needed to supply fodder, prepare camps, and so on.

Usually it is a group of hundreds of horses, or a group of a thousand horses slowly rushing back.

handed over 30,000 war horses, Ju Yi was somewhat reluctant.

Moreover, it was Gao Ran who escorted him over, and he suffered heavy losses in Youzhou, and the results of the battle were handed over by Gao Ran.

However, military orders are like mountains, and Ju Yi has to do things beautifully even if he has ideas.

Gao Ran saw the unhappiness in Ju Yi's heart, and bowed his hand: "Don't worry, general, I am just escorting the horses, and the credit for winning Youzhou is all yours." ”

"Where, where, General Gao also helped. The responsibility of escorting the horses is heavy, and General Gao should be more careful along the road. ”

"Don't worry, General." Gao Ran left Youzhou, and thousands of cavalry slowly returned to Jizhou with 30,000 war horses.

The next morning, Ju Yi was still sleeping in the city.

The defenders of the east gate of the Youzhou city wall opened the city gate as usual to let merchants come and go.

The commander who guarded the gate was very happy, and there was a caravan of more than ten carriages, and the carts were full.

Goalkeeping is hard work, but it's really oily.

The caravan entering the city, no matter what kind of goods they had, could use the pretext of inspection to get some oil and water.

Soon the caravan arrived at the door, and the commander gave the sergeant a look to intercept the caravan.

The shopkeeper who led the team hurriedly nodded: "Master Jun, this car is full of tea, and there is no contraband." ”

"I'll judge if there's any contraband."

The shopkeeper stretched out his pocket, and the chief thought he was going to give him the silver, but it turned out to be a sharp military thorn, which pierced his throat with lightning speed.

Dozens of men were actually armed with crossbows, and they hit the unprepared gatekeepers in a burst.

The leader of the team turned out to be Hu Yong, a brave general of Gao Shun's submerged camp, and a group of dozens of elites, with tacit understanding, quickly attacked the city wall from the city gate.

There are not many defenders of the city wall, and after the battle, Gongsun Chan was defeated, and everyone relaxed, where would they think that there would be enemy troops.

Hu Yong went up and threw a few fire and thunder bullets, which were not powerful and loud, blowing up the enemy troops on the city tower, and then rushed into the enemy formation with the sharp long knife in his hand and killed the enemy army.

The elite of his men seized the enemy's bows and arrows, and fired arrows from the tower.

At this time, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded on the east side of the city gate, and hundreds of cavalry flew over.

"Rush."

The cavalry rushed into the city and controlled the inside and outside of the city walls, partly supporting Hu Yong and partly assaulting back and forth on the horse paths in the city gates.

The city gate is full of shops, the war has been going on for several months, I am afraid, the battle is finally over, I just wanted to be stable for a few days, but I didn't expect it to come again, and the frightened family closed.

Ju Yi sent Gao Lan away, and was drinking tea in the camp, when suddenly there was a short sound of trumpets and war drums outside.

"Something."

"Report, the enemy is coming, and the east gate has been captured."

Ju Yi was startled, and the porcelain bowl in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

"What, immediately organize a counterattack and seize the east gate."

Ju Yi wore armor, picked up his broadsword, and immediately went out to gather the soldiers.

More than 2,000 soldiers in charge of war preparations had already rushed to the east gate, but they had only reached the halfway point when a group of cavalry rushed over.

This group of people was too ruthless, and they didn't answer, and the black bumps in their hands were thrown over, and the loud noise was accompanied by thick smoke, and the soldiers in front fell one after another.

Ju Yi's infantry is very elite, all of them are elite soldiers, but they are full of infinite fear of unknown things, loud noises and thick smoke are beyond their cognition, turn around and run, trample on each other, and suddenly there are countless casualties.

Ju Yi's eyes were full of horror, and he didn't know what to do, but as a general, he had heard that Lu Bu had a weapon in his hand that made a loud noise.

"Don't be afraid, this is the enemy's trick, let me rush."

Ju Yi led thousands of soldiers to launch a counterattack again, hoping to recapture the lost East Gate.

But this is wishful thinking, the enemy's heavy infantry came, and under the cover of the shieldmen, the archers released arrows in this direction, who had never played with bows and arrows, but the enemy's bows and arrows were very powerful, and the soldiers who shot the ship's leather armor could penetrate at once.
