The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms - Vol 10 Chapter 335
Hearing that Gongsun Zan was going to lead his troops to stand out in Yijing and seize the mountain in the southwest, all the generals were all surprised, and one of them hurriedly spoke up and said, “General, this strategy is absolutely impossible!”
Gongsun Zan looked up and saw that it was Guan Jing who was speaking, and asked, “Why not?”
Guan Jing hesitated, glanced at the dozen or so generals and commanders in the surrounding circle, and said to Gongsun Zan, “Dare to ask the generals to retreat.”
Gongsun Zan frowned and said displeasedly, “I have always acted in an open and upright manner, and I have nothing to say to anyone. What do you want to say, even if you say it, why do you need to stand back!”
However, Guan Jing still insisted that Gongsun Zan still trusted Guan Jing very much. Seeing that he was so demanding, he had no choice but to follow his wishes and told the generals to withdraw for the time being.
The rest of the generals, Qi Qi, gave Gongsun Zan a military salute, and then retreated into the distance.
After standing on the edge of the battlements farther away, the generals looked at Gongsun Zan and Guan Jing, and saw that Guan Jing moved a little closer to Gongsun Zan. He seemed to have lowered his voice and looked serious, not knowing what to say to Gongsun Zan. what.
The generals looked at Gongsun Zan’s face again, and saw that Gongsun Zan did not agree with what Guan Jing said at first, but gradually, Gongsun Zan’s expression became solemn. After a while, Gongsun Zan was silent for a while, and the generals finally Seeing that he nodded slightly, this should be following Guan Jing’s words. But I don’t know, what did Guan Jing say to Gongsun Zan?
The enemy outside the city is huge, like the undulating red ocean, and above this high city, on this occasion, I saw the two generals and Changshi discussing in detail, but they did not know the content. disturbed.
But what did Guan Jing say to Gongsun Zan?
This Guan Jing was analyzing the current situation to Gongsun Zan just now, in order to advise Gongsun Zan that he must not lead troops out of the city himself.
What he said to Gongsun Zan was: “General, the city has been trapped for a long time, and now the generals have separated their hearts and are no longer able to fight for a long time. The reason why they can still accompany the general and stick to Yijing is because they cherish their hometown. Old and young, their wives, sons, and daughters. If the general can hold on for a long time, Yuan Shao will not be able to attack for a long time, and his troops will naturally retreat. When the time comes, the troops outside the general can come to join the general, and the general will still be there. When the momentum is revived, if the general rushes out of the city now, the back town will be lost in Yijing, and the destruction may be just around the corner! And once Yijing is lost, the general will have no foundation and will be living in the wilderness. How can he achieve his career? It is absolutely impossible for the general to lead his troops out of the city to the Southwest Mountains in his humble opinion! This is self-defeating.”
Not all of Gongsun Zan’s troops were in Yijing. He also had troops stationed in some counties around Yijing, but the roads leading to Yixian for these troops had now been blocked by Jizhou soldiers.
And as for what Guan Jing said about Gu Nian’s hometown, the elders, etc., it is that there are not only troops in this Yijing City, but also the wives, sons, daughters, and clan children of the soldiers are also in the city. As mentioned above, this form of camping is commonly used by feudal lords all over the world. Bringing the wives, parents, and even clansmen of soldiers and soldiers with the army can not only ensure that soldiers and soldiers do not have to worry about the safety of their families and clansmen during the battle, but also can The soldiers’ wives, parents, etc. were taken as hostages in disguise to ensure their loyalty.
Then Guan Jing said, “But if the general rushes out of the city now, the back town will be lost in Yijing” and so on. The mountain in Xishan is not far from Yijing, and there is the main force of Jizhou soldiers between the two. Existing, then if Gongsun Zan personally led his troops out of the city, even if he really grabbed the mountain, it would indeed cut off the retreat of the Jizhou soldiers, but during the period of waiting for Zhang Feiyan’s troops from Zhongshan to Yixian, Yi Jing Obviously, the main general, Gongsun Zan, will be lost. The generals and soldiers in the city will be in chaos, and there will be no main general in the city. It is exactly as Guan Jing’s speculation, and it is indeed possible that Yi Jing will fall because of this.
Speaking of which, the generals didn’t know what the two of them said, and while they were suspicious, they saw Gongsun Zan beckoning, Xianshi beckoning them to go over, and the generals hurried back to Gongsun Zan and Guan Jing’s side.
Gongsun Zan stood in armor, raised his head and looked out. His eyes passed over the soldiers of Yuan Shao’s army who were attacking the city outside the city, and the catapults used by Yuan Shao’s army to attack the city.
After looking at it for a long time, he finally retracted his gaze, looked around the generals, and said, “Just now, Changshi spoke to me, saying that the Southwest Mountain is quite far from my Yijing, and we need to pass through the main force of Chunyu Qiong’s bandits first. In the past, I’m afraid it wasn’t easy. I thought about it, and what he said made sense, so let’s leave it for now. I won’t go to the Southwest Mountain for now, but although the Southwest Mountain will not go to the Southwest Mountain for the time being, you have to do a good job first. Preparations for breaking out of the encirclement, after Zhang Feiyan’s reinforcements arrive in Yi County, we still have to first knock down the Southwest Mountains in order to stop the retreat of Chunyu Qiong’s thieves, and then attack from inside and outside in order to wipe them out! ”
This sentence can be regarded as an indirect explanation to the generals about what Guan Jing said to him just now.
Of course, this explanation is not the truth, but a lie.
However, Gongsun Zan’s civil and military talents are outstanding, and he has already expected that the generals will definitely feel uneasy because of his private conversation with Guan Jing. In fact, it is precisely because of this that he Just now, he was unwilling to reject the generals, and as he expected, the generals were also uneasy because of this, so he had these words at this time.
Although the generals were dubious, they did not necessarily fully believe his explanation. Anyway, after hearing this, the generals felt a little calmer.
Gongsun Zan raised his eyes again and looked out of the city. This time he was not looking at the Southwest Mountain, but the enemy army outside the city.
After adjustment, the Jizhou soldiers and soldiers outside the city have launched their offensive again. Outside the tall city wall and outside several trenches, groups of Jizhou soldiers and soldiers carried half boats and other objects while resisting the arrows shot down from the city. While pushing a cart full of soil bags to the outermost ditch, trying to fill it up, and not too far from these soldiers, dozens of catapults were lined up neatly, constantly throwing them in the direction of the city wall. Come to the stone, but because the distance is too far, few of these stones can fall on the city, and occasionally some hit the foot of the city or the city wall, causing a slight vibration at the top of the city, but obviously, this deterrent effect Not really worth mentioning.
Looking behind the enemy soldiers filling the trenches, I saw two earthy hills rising from the ground with flat tops. These two earthy hills were built by the villagers and soldiers after Chunyu Qiong’s siege. of. At the top of the mountain, there are now hundreds of crossbowmen shooting arrows at the top of the city.
Also seen between the two earthy hills, behind the front-line enemy troops and catapult positions filled with trenches, in the vast expanse of the wilderness, three or four large formations are densely arranged, mainly composed of infantry, and some others. A group of cavalry, armored and armored, fighting like forests, flags fluttering, horses like clouds, compared to the catapults, etc., these large arrays can give people a huge shock.
Needless to say, this number of large formations is obvious, one of them is causing psychological pressure to the defenders in the city, and if the two defenders in the city come out to attack again, they will face it. The number of enemy troops was too large, and the area occupied by the enemy formation was too large. After looking around for a long time, Gongsun Zanyou could not find Chunyuqiong’s banner of the Chinese army. It’s fine if he can’t find it. After looking at it for a while, Gongsun Zan turned his eyes to the east.
In the east of the city, there are also enemy troops filling the trenches.
This enemy army was not Jizhou soldiers, but Youzhou soldiers. This time, Gongsun Zan quickly found the flag of their chief general.
That flag was played by Yan Zhi’s flag.
Gongsun Zan spat, half raised his face, looked at Yan Zhi’s flag with contempt from a distance, and said, “A scoundrel of pigs and dogs, dare to offend me!” , holding the spear in his hand, he strode towards the east city wall.
The generals followed closely, and Guan Jing hurriedly followed, and asked anxiously, “What is the general going to do?”
Gongsun Zan said: “As the minister advised, the Southwest Mountain can’t be attacked for the time being, but Yan Zhi’s generation dares to attack me, but they can’t do it! Let’s break it first to boost my morale.”
Chunyu Qiong, Gongsun Zan already looked down on him; Yan Rou, Yan Zhi, etc., Gongsun Zan looked down even more.
No wonder Gongsun Zan looked down on Yan Rou and Yan Zhi even more.
Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin needless to say, they followed Liu Yu and used 100,000 troops to fight Gongsun Zan, but they were beaten by Gongsun Zan with an absolutely inferior force. Gongsun Zan looked down on them for granted. .
And Yan Rou and Yan Zhi brothers, although they are famous in Youzhou, but in the eyes of Gongsun Zan, Yan Rou is nothing more than a Huer slave who “recognizes Hu as his father”, even the so-called famous Wuhuan and Xianbei. The kings, all of them were beaten to the core by Gongsun Zan, and they were terrified when they heard Gongsun Zan’s name.
Because it is not easy to fight on the Southwest Mountain side for the time being, but whether it is to boost morale or to **** the progress of the enemy’s siege, what happened to Yan Rou, Yan Zhi, that is, the Youzhou soldiers? Might as well play it for a while.
The generals listened to Gongsun Zan’s words and took care of each other.
Guan Jing wanted to give advice again, but Gongsun Zan refused to listen.
At the end of the east city, Gongsun Zan went down the horse **** to the city, ordered his mount to be brought, and summoned Baima Yicong and other elite riders to about a thousand horses, then he put on his spear and mounted his horse, looked back at Guan Jing and other generals, and said, “I’m going to bother you. Wait for the tower to watch the battle, and watch as I use this thousand cavalry, I will wait for you to destroy the thieves!”
The city gate opens ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The drawbridge is lowered.
Gongsun Zan hurried the horse with a spear and rushed out first, but when he saw that he was wearing silver armor, with a white horse under his crotch, a red cloak fluttering in the wind behind him, the sharp spear pointed forward, facing the direction of the sun, the armor and the horse. The armor reflected a dazzling light.
The light fell into the eyes of the generals and soldiers in the city, and everyone only felt that the light full of killing energy seemed to be a mass of blood, but the violent impact was like a mass of fire, and in a trance, This fire and blood were actually harmoniously blended together.
Behind this Gongsun Zan of fire and blood, there are thousands of elite cavalry like dragons, and in the distance in front of him are nearly 10,000 Youzhou soldiers like waves.
Seeing Gongsun Zan and the others fighting in the Youzhou army, shouts rang out.
The battle drums beating on the tower.
