Chapter 357: Gongsun Zhan's first battle
"Shoot!"
The generals of Jizhou saw Bai Ma Yi rushing from the storm and immediately issued an order.
A rain of arrows greeted the cavalry.
The leader of the White Horse Yicong waved his hand at this time.
Seeing this, the cavalry around them quickly separated to both sides, and killed from the flank of the Jizhou army formation, Ju Yi was not in the army, and there was no strong crossbow from Xiandengshi, these Jizhou soldiers could not stop the attack of Baima Yicong.
The speed of the war horse was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it hit the flank of the Jizhou military formation, and it was still the same offensive method that cut the battlefield, killing the Jizhou military formation, and there was a panic.
The Jizhou guard saw it, and hurriedly made arrangements to adjust the phalanx.
However, the 30,000 infantry led by Yan Gang had already advanced to the Jizhou phalanx.
"Shield, lift!"
"Bow and crossbow, shoot!"
Yan Gang quickly passed down two orders.
The infantry in the front row raised their shields, and the sharp arrows from the Jizhou archers were blocked by the shields one after another, and when the enemy changed arrows, they quickly pulled their bows and counterattacked.
A row of arrows rained down, shooting at the Jizhou soldiers.
"Block!"
The guards of Jizhou were not slow to react, and their shields were raised to resist the rain of arrows, but hundreds of people were still shot.
After the confrontation, the distance between the two sides was once again shortened.
"Kill!"
Gongsun Fan shouted, and a team of vanguards came out from the middle of the military formation.
The soldiers in the front row, also raised their shields, and under the cover of the crossbowmen, they charged towards the military formation of Jizhou, and the distance was narrowed in the blink of an eye.
"Kill!"
Yan Gang ordered to echo.
All the Youzhou soldiers shouted like a mountain at the same time.
They attacked again, 30,000 infantry, and soon killed in front of the phalanx of Jizhou soldiers.
"Block, spear!"
The defenders of Jizhou did not take the initiative to fight, but only defended.
One by one, shields resisted Yan Gang before them, the spear stretched out from behind the shield, and the edge was aimed at the Youzhou soldiers and stabbed over, but this method was not very effective.
The vanguard led by Gongsun Fan has already killed them and killed them.
The defense of the two wings of the Jizhou army was gradually broken through by the white horse Yicong, the cavalry drove straight in, the sabre in his hand was dragged down, or the horse's hooves were raised and kicked hard, and the wails of the Jizhou soldiers echoed in the battle array, which could almost cover the shouting and killing.
"Fight, retreat!"
Jizhou's guards are about to be unable to withstand this pressure, and their strength is slightly inferior.
Yan Gang and Gongsun Fan's momentum was suppressed, making him almost out of breath.
Fortunately, the Jizhou soldiers were not completely chaotic, they could still fight back, resist, block Yan Gang's wave after wave of attacks, and quickly retreat to the barracks.
The archers in the army, hurry up and draw their bows again.
The arrows continued continuously, shooting out towards the Youzhou soldiers.
The soldiers of Youzhou launched an attack more fiercely, the figures on the battlefield were staggered, blood was splashed, the Jizhou soldiers retreated like a tide, and the Youzhou soldiers pursued like a wave, slapping up fiercely.
The two sides fought for a while, and the Jizhou soldiers were even more difficult, and after the defender retreated to the barracks, someone immediately dragged up the horses, antlers and other things to block the charging Youzhou soldiers.
"Crossbow, shoot again!"
The guard shouted hoarsely.
A large rain of arrows, like flying locusts, rushed into the Youzhou soldiers, shooting hundreds of people, and the pressure was finally not so great.
Those rejection of horses and antlers made Bai Mayi never dare to rush forward, otherwise he would be sharp and protruding, penetrating the horse's body, and he could only pull his bow to suppress the Jizhou soldiers in the camp.
"Shields again!"
The guard shouted.
Inside the camp, there are adequate defenses.
The defender now regrets that he shouldn't take the initiative to fight, he should occupy the camp to defend, after the defense of the camp was launched, the offensive of the Youzhou soldiers was much weaker, and they couldn't attack it for the time being.
Arrows continued to shoot, and spears continued to pass through the horses and stab at the Youzhou soldiers.
The number of dead and wounded is increasing.
Both sides.
"Mingjin!"
When Gongsun Zhan saw this, he understood that he wanted to quickly take the camp in Jizhou, but he couldn't do it for the time being.
But then, the support from Jizhou came over, and it would be a little difficult to fight, and when he saw the soldiers who went out to fight back, he said again: "Mingguang, has there been a reply?" ”
Guan Jing shook his head and said: "I can't receive a reply for the time being, but I believe that the general will definitely go to war, and this kind of opportunity will definitely not be missed, even if Yuan Shao's reinforcements arrive, there will not be many, we can deal with it." ”
Gongsun Chan nodded and said, "If we go out to fight again tomorrow, we must take this camp first, and we will continue to go deeper into Jizhou." ”
"Yes!"
Guan Jing nodded.
After a while, Yan Gang and Gongsun Fan retreated.
"Big brother, we're almost going to get in."
Gongsun Fan said regretfully.
Gongsun Chan said: "When Mingguang makes a move, they won't be able to support it for long, and they will attack tomorrow." ”
After that, they will study the arrangements for tomorrow's attack, or how they should fight.
——
Yang Zhao left Guantao, entered Wei County, and arrived in Wei County first.
The county order of this county surrendered very simply, there was no resistance, and there was no need to resist, because the guards in the county had been transferred by Yuan Tan and concentrated in Yecheng, and there were only a dozen or so soldiers left here, what to use to resist?
If you don't want to die, you can only surrender directly.
"The counties over there in Liyang and Changle, Guorang and Ziyi, each of you will lead 3,000 people, go and take them all, conquer them, and then see me in Yecheng, and the rest will go to Yecheng with me first."
Yang Zhao arranged again.
"Yes!"
They nodded at the same time.
After entering Jizhou, they divided their troops with each other, and there was a huge Wei County, and many people were needed to take over.
After walking for several more days, the army finally came to the foot of Yecheng.
At this time, Yecheng, all kinds of defensive measures have been almost prepared, looking up, Yang Zhao can see that the ones that have appeared in Xiapi have also appeared here.
Seeing this situation, Jia Xu couldn't help laughing: "The person who stayed in Yecheng seems to be Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, who copied all the practices of Pi Tao Gongzu, and wanted to resist us through the strength of Yecheng." ”
Yang Zhao raised his hand and pointed to the city tower, and continued: "He has done more than Tao Gongzu, you see that the city wall is heightened, and it is heightened with wooden planks, it seems that it is not easy to break through Yecheng?" ”
"Direct flooding?"
At that time, although Zhuge Liang was not present, he had also heard about the process.
Flooding without going through the procedure may be the best way to break the city.
Yang Zhao said: "Don't worry, try the water tomorrow to see how stable the city is, and then decide how to attack." ”
Just when they were discussing how to break the city and study countermeasures, Yuan Tan appeared on the city tower and said loudly: "Please talk to the general!" ”
"Yuan Tan still wants to talk to me?"
Yang Zhao walked up curiously.
