Chapter 470: Attack Jixian County together, and the final battle
Zhang Liao's news was soon sent to Zhuo County.
Guo Jia and Zhen Yao discussed for a while, and directly sent troops to attack Jixian County.
Gongsun Zhan's focus was on the edge of the water, thinking about how to deal with Yang Zhao, although he was also wary of Zhen Yao in Zhuo County, he only arranged for a few thousand people to guard the border.
In his consideration, those thousands of people discovered Zhen Yao's movements, and they could immediately send the news back, and then draw some troops to deal with Zhen Yao.
It's just that Guo Jia and Zhen Yao don't care about these thousands of people at all.
They also left a few thousand people in the Zhuojun camp to use as a bluff to create an illusion that the army was all there, and then went north to kill, bypassing Gongsun Zhan's defenses and killing Jixian.
At this time, Zhang Liao, under the leadership of Xian Yufu, approached Jixian.
Through the shadows, they got in touch with each other, rested for half a day, and after eating and drinking, they directly ordered the siege of the city, Zhang Liao's 30,000 people, Zhen Yao also had more than 10,000 people, under Guo Jia's arrangement, raided Jixian.
Jixian County, as the seat of Youzhou governance, is also the base camp of Gongsun Zhan.
Although Gongsun Chan took away most of the troops, there were still 10,000 people left in the city to defend, and this group of guards, seeing that there was an enemy raid, hurriedly beat the war drums and the whole army gathered to defend.
"We still have the Divine Fire Crow, right?"
Guo Jia asked.
Zhen Yao nodded and said, "The lord has left more than ten of them. ”
"Use the Divine Fire Flying Crow to attack the city tower!"
Guo Jia proposed.
Zhen Yao waved his hand, and the soldiers around him prepared the Divine Fire Flying Crow, lit it and rushed straight to the city tower, exploding on the city.
The sudden explosion blew up a group of soldiers defending the city, and also made the other soldiers defending the city panic, and they all retreated to avoid the bombardment of the Divine Fire Crow.
But before the soldiers defending the city had time to dodge, another divine fire crow rushed up.
Rumble......
Successive explosions appeared.
The soldiers defending the city in Jixian County were blown to pieces, but the Divine Fire Crow quickly ran out.
"Prepare the ladder and attack the city!"
When Zhen Yao saw this scene, he hurriedly passed down the order and asked the soldiers to attack quickly.
Guo Jia stood in the rear army, saw such an offensive, and understood that it was not difficult to take Jixian, and made some adjustments and arrangements to drive the rhythm of the siege and attack more fiercely.
Their attack was sudden and unexpected.
There is also an artifact like the Divine Fire Flying Crow, which caught the enemy off guard, and the city walls of Jixian County, as well as various defenses, are not as strong as the big cities of Yecheng and Xiapi, and it is not very difficult to attack them.
The other side.
When Zhang Liao heard the explosion, he knew that Guo Jia and them were bombarding them with divine fire flying crows.
Their Divine Fire Flying Crow had already been used up, but Zhang Liao shouted: "Three-bow bed crossbow, shoot the city wall!" ”
This is a bed crossbow that was developed in the Song Dynasty.
In the later Song Dynasty, the three-bow bed crossbow was fired at close range, and the crossbow arrows could be nailed to the city wall and lined up in rows, so that the soldiers besieging the city could climb up and kill the city tower.
They came in a hurry, and Yuyang didn't have to fight, so he didn't prepare enough ladders.
Zhang Liao used this method to shoot crossbow arrows on the city wall, which could be firmly nailed to it, and when it hit the city wall, the wall also vibrated a little, and there was a feeling that it would collapse at any time.
When the crossbow arrows were almost lined up on the city wall, Zhang Liao ordered the whole army to climb the city tower.
The soldiers who walked in the front raised their shields and rushed up, and the rain of arrows that came down was almost blocked, and the soldiers behind them climbed quickly behind the shields to kill the enemy on the tower.
Xian Yufu, as a general, took the lead in killing, and with a shake of the knife in his hand, he led the troops to kill the enemy in the city tower.
With 10,000 guards, facing an attack of nearly 50,000 people, the pressure was extremely great.
After fighting for a while, the guards of Jixian County couldn't hold it.
Xian Yufu led the troops from the city tower to the city, opened the city gate, and left the army that had not climbed, and entered quickly.
On Guo Jia's side, the situation is similar.
As Zhen Yao led his troops into the city, the soldiers guarding could only be beaten and defeated again and again, and they didn't even have the ability to resist.
"General Zhen, go control Gongsun Zhan's family."
Guo Jia said loudly.
Zhen Yao hurriedly led his troops forward, first controlled Gongsun Zhan's family, and then arrested Gongsun Zhan's subordinates and the families of various generals, and then controlled Cangqi and Wubei.
Zhang Liao and Xian Yufu were responsible for leading the troops and killing all the enemies who were still resisting in the city.
From siege, to control everything.
The whole process lasted almost an hour and a half.
"Mr. Guo!"
Zhang Liao and Guo Jia met and said, "What should we do next?" ”
Guo Jia said: "Let people go and tell the lord that our side has succeeded and can do something to Gongsun Zhan." ”
Zhang Liao suggested: "I also want to arrange a team of soldiers and horses to intercept in the south, as long as Gongsun Chan escapes here, he will fall into our ambush and will never be able to escape again." ”
Guo Jia agreed: "Wen Yuan is brave and strategic, I have also considered this matter, and I have asked General Zhen to prepare, we will hold Jixian County first, and wait for Gongsun Zan to be defeated." ”
"Sir's clever plan!"
Zhang Liao admired.
After Jixian County settled down, Zhen Yao set off south, cut off Gongsun Zhan's retreat, and continued to ambush.
——
The shadow's intelligence transmission ability is very strong, and the good news of Jixian County was quickly sent back to the endless camp.
"Fengxiao and they took Jixian County, and Gongsun Chan may not know it."
Yang Zhao smiled and said, "Get ready, go to battle!" ”
Knock knock!
The drums of war were beaten.
In the endless city, the soldiers under Yang Zhao quickly assembled, a total of more than 40,000 people, were approaching in the direction of the water and took the initiative to attack.
"How many Divine Fire Crows do we have now?" Yang Zhao asked.
The Divine Fire Flying Crows have not all been used up, they have left some of them, and Zhang Liao has not taken them to attack Jixian.
Tian Feng said: "There are more than twenty more." ”
Yang Zhao thought for a while and said, "When the fight starts, use half of it first to kill the enemy." ”
Hearing the sound of drums coming from endlessly, Tian Kai was startled, only to see Yang Zhaozhen attack, and he also hurriedly gave an order, gathered all the soldiers, and prepared for battle.
Gongsun Zhan was a little nervous and said, "Yang Zhao finally can't wait!" ”
"Why did he and us stay on the shore for days before they started? There seems to be a lack of some soldiers in his army. ”
As a strategist, Guan Jing is easy to overthink.
Thinking of Yang Zhao's approach, it didn't seem right, and there seemed to be a bit of a problem.
Gongsun Chan doesn't care about this, and now there is no room for recovery, only to fight to the end, shouting: "Go to war." ”
Knock knock knock......
The sound of war drums also sounded in his camp.
All the soldiers, under the order, had to go to battle and were about to fight with Yang Zhao's soldiers.
But before the two sides had a short confrontation, they saw a big bird with white smoke flying in, falling into the Youzhou soldiers and exploding, and the sound of the explosion was still deafening......
