Chapter 173: The arrogant fat man
On June 6, the fifth year of Zhongping, Yuan Shao, the assassin of Qingzhou, died of ineffective rescue, and left the world with countless memories of Hongchen. The so-called people go to tea and it is cold, Yuan Shao has just passed away, and someone came to Fan Xiwen before the memorial service was completed.
In the early morning of 6 June, the Jizhou Army launched a fierce offensive against Qingzhou again, and hundreds of thousands of people surrounded the leaderless Qingzhou Army regiments, and the entire Qingzhou except Jinan fell into the hands of Fan Xiwen.
Yan Liang Wenchou still has more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands in Jinan City, and it is still a little difficult for these soldiers and horses to hold Jinan, but Yan Liang is a diehard against Yuan Shao, and it is impossible for Yan Liang to surrender. On the day of Yuan Shao's death, Yan Liang personally killed the military doctor who later treated Yuan Shao to accompany Yuan Shao's funeral, and then immediately ordered his henchmen to take control of the barracks in his hands, in order to prevent the generals from surrendering to Fan Xiwen. But it's a pity that when Yan Liang sent his cronies, there were already many generals walking with men and horses.
Yan Liangwen was a diehard loyalist of Yuan Shao, and the two army divisions under Yuan Shao did not mean to surrender to Fan Xiwen, so the four of them planned to hold on to the city with their men and horses to wait for reinforcements. Just yesterday, Fu Zhu had already sent several groups of scouts to Beihai Kong Rong, Xuzhou Tao Qian, Youzhou Liu Yu, and Yanzhou Liu Dai for help, these people have a lot of friendship with Yuan Shao, and this letter was written in Yuan Shao's name, and I think it should give Yuan Shao some face.
If this is put on hold, it may really give Yuan Shao a face, but now is not usual! Is Fan Xiwen cooking in Qingzhou with so many troops? If the rescue fails, they will put their own lives into it. At this time, Fan Xiwen was already the first prince in the world, although this advantage was not very obvious.
In addition, the situation in Qingzhou is already very clear, Fan Xiwen has no problem occupying Qingzhou at all, and it is definitely a fool's behavior to help the dead Yuan Shao at this time.
"Order the 1st Corps to begin the assault, and the 2nd Corps to observe in the rear." When the army arrived in Jinan, Fan Xiwen also moved the headquarters here, and now Fan Xiwen sat on the main seat and began to give orders, the reason why he wanted to do this was to ask Zhang Yan to see the combat effectiveness of the Jizhou Legion, so that Zhang Yan could follow him Fan Xiwen with all his heart.
"Yes." The First Legion was very happy to get Fan Xiwen's military order, and they were all as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
All nine divisions of the First Army Corps were dispatched without leaving a single hand, and there were no key siege troops or anything like that, which was a bit like street hooligans fighting in a rush without any rules. This is one of the favorite tactics of the Jizhou army, this is the reason for punching the master to death, the person who makes the move has no rules, so what move should the person who receives the move use?
On the first day, the Jizhou army smashed the city wall of Jinan City to the ground with catapults and siege trucks, and wells, but the Qingzhou army still held it with the number of people. At the end of the day, the Jizhou army suffered the heaviest casualties since the expedition, with hundreds of wounded and more than 10 dead. For this matter, all the officers of the First Army received Fan Xiwen's "warm" greetings, and they were embarrassed to say a word about these unruly officers who hung their heads for a long time.
The next day, the Jizhou army changed its strategy, first using a catapult to bombard the city wall and then stopped, which was a bit strange and made the Qingzhou army in the city a little confused. After learning the news, the interrogator and the frustrated judge in the city thought that the Jizhou army was going to play a conspiracy, and was about to get together to discuss what the Jizhou army would do, when another sergeant came with the latest news.
The Jizhou Army opened its position to go head-to-head with the Qingzhou Army, which is really a strange thing, you must know that the Jizhou Army has never taken the initiative to go head-to-head after entering Qingzhou. And based on the analysis of the Jizhou Army by Fu Zhu and others, if they want them to send someone out to fight alone, either the old sow has gone up the tree, or there must be a ghost. Because since Fan Xiwen established the first regular Le'an Army to the establishment of the Jizhou Army, there have been countless battles, but the number of heads-up times can be counted on one hand, which is today.
Although they knew that there must be ghosts in the Jizhou army, the two people who were frustrated and judged thought that this heads-up must be carried out, of course, they must see the opponent clearly before deciding. After the Qingzhou defense line was broken by the Jizhou army, all the morale of the Qingzhou army declined, if you refuse to fight with the Jizhou army again, then you don't have to think about it to know that the Qingzhou army is estimated to be not far from the collapse.
So the four of them, Yan Liangwen and Chou, came to the east gate together, this is the place where the Jizhou army agreed to fight alone, and the four of them came here to investigate the situation. Persimmon should be pinched softly, even if it is a war, you must look at the enemy generals before making plans, this is the art of war.
There are more than 20,000 Jizhou troops at the east gate, and they are lining up in a phalanx at the moment, looking solemnly at the front of the Jinan city wall. At the front of the phalanx stood a fat man, who was carrying a halberd on both shoulders, and the corners of his beard and stubble mouth were constantly stirring, presumably cursing some people! The most thoughtful summary is that this fat man is too arrogant and too eye-catching.
Looking at the arrogant demeanor of the fat man, Yan Liangwen and the ugly two of them suddenly became angry, and there were sparks in their eyes, as if they were going to tear the fat man off, and they frightened the frustration and trial next to them and quickly restrained the two.
"Two generals, two generals are the last guarantee of whether Jinan can support it, you can't fight easily! It's better to send a junior general to test the strength of the enemy general before making plans! The two of them bitterly dissuaded.
"Okay, make a note of this battle first, Ben will have to get it back sooner or later." Yan Liang still listened to the words of the trial and frustration to some extent, so although he was unhappy with the fat man's extremely unstable expression, he still died down after putting down a cruel word.
However, the four of them stood on the city wall for so long but they never knew who the fat man was, and the 20,000 Jizhou troops standing behind him were all soldiers of the First Army of Jizhou, but this fat man was obviously not an officer of the First Army, so there was even a handsome flag behind the fat man.
Thinking that the other party should be an unknown person, after seeing this situation, a few people still let go of a lot of worries, so they casually ordered a lieutenant colonel to go out of the city to face the battle. Anyway, it's just a temptation, and there's no need to send a master out.
(There should be another chapter of three thousand chapters today!) )
