Chapter 182 Deep Ditch and High Fortress to Defend the Enemy
Yixian County is indeed a good place, surrounded by mountains on three sides and plains on one side. It is a small county town with tall city walls made of high-quality stones. It may have been specially repaired by Gongsun Zan. The surrounding city walls are completely natural without any flaws. East
The gate is the main city gate of Yixian County. Outside this city gate is the Great Plains of North China. Standing on the city tower, you can clearly see everything within a dozen miles.
Long Fei led his soldiers and horses on a night march at Xiaosu, specifically choosing places that were inaccessible to people. Fortunately, Yan Rou had a living map, and after walking for more than half a month, he finally entered the boundaries of Yi County. In order not to alert the defenders in Yi County, Long Fei
Fei decided to take people into the city to check it out first. While Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were still fighting in Fanyang, he wanted to capture Yixian County as soon as possible, and then he invited Gongsun Zan to enter the urn.
The Youzhou War did not affect this small county on the border of Youzhou. The city gate was opened early in the morning, and the people coming in and out passed by the listless city gate guards. This small place has a small population. Every day
The city gates are guarded here, and everyone who comes and goes knows everyone, and they can be recognized at a glance if they have a slightly unfamiliar face.
Long Fei was carrying the load of firewood, wearing only a waistcoat and his coat hanging on the load. When he was in the special forces brigade, this makeup concealment was a strict selection subject, and many of his comrades were eliminated because of this subject. Long Fei
Fei's ability comes from the fact that he comes from the countryside. Every time he takes an assessment, he pretends to be a rural person, a migrant worker, a nouveau riche, and an uncle who has never seen the world. This is the most he has seen.
This time, Long Fei pretended to be a firewood seller. He learned this costume from TV. Almost all TV shows are firewood sellers who are trying to get by. Perhaps because firewood is easy to get, most screenwriters use this method.
Far away, a corps commander shouted loudly: "That firewood seller, come here!" Long Fei looked around and saw that there was really no one else except himself.
"It's you, what are you looking at!" The team leader came to Long Fei and looked at Long Fei up and down: "Why have I never seen you before? Where did you come from?"
Long Fei quickly put on a smile: "He's from Shenwangzhuang!"
"Shenwangzhuang?" the corps leader sneered: "Who the hell are you talking about? Shenwangzhuang is thirty miles away from here, and you came just after we opened the city. You ran fast enough! Selling firewood is a loss.
You can imagine it, just take a look, the mountains and plains outside the city are full of weeds and woods. If you can’t get any firewood there, you look like a spy! Brother, arrest him!”
Long Fei is so depressed. This TV is definitely harmful. The last time he went to the palace, he thought it was "Jurassic Park". This time he is selling firewood. It is obviously nonsense. The firewood selling thing may be real, but it is not such a small thing.
County town. Seeing that the matter was exposed, Long Fei threw down his load of firewood and ran away. Several soldiers behind him chased him desperately. Seeing Long Fei get into the woods, the captain hurriedly stopped him: "Don't go in, be careful of fraud! Go and report it quickly.
General!"
Gongsun Fan, the governor of Yi County, was originally the governor of Bohai. After Yuan Shao occupied the entire Jizhou, he drove Gongsun Fan out of Jizhou. Gongsun Fan was Gongsun Zan's younger brother, so Gongsun Zan felt relieved when he left him to guard Yi County. After receiving the report from the city gate guard, Gongsun Fan
Fan was shocked. In order to deal with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan mobilized almost all the troops and horses in Youzhou, leaving only 3,000 troops for himself. If someone came to attack at this time, these 3,000 troops and horses alone would not be able to cope. Gongsun Fan
The city gate was ordered to be closed, and all the soldiers immediately went to the city to guard it. Yi County was like a frightened bird, and for a while the people in the city were neighing and their horses were neighing, making it a mess.
Long Fei panted heavily while looking in the direction of Yixian County, mentally scolding the scriptwriters of the TV series. However, at this stage, it was useless to say anything. If he wanted to enter the city, he could only think of something else.
Way. Just when Long Fei was at a loss, a fast horse galloped up from the official road in the distance. Long Fei rolled his eyes and winked at Xu Chu and Chen Dao. The two immediately got out of the woods and stood on the road.
central.
There happened to be a turning point at the official road here, and the dense woods blocked the view of the soldiers on the tower. The knight on the horse was running happily, but unexpectedly two people suddenly appeared. They hurriedly took the reins of the horses, and the horses stood up.
The horse stood firm, Chen Daofei kicked the knight hard, Xu Chu rushed over and grabbed the knight's neck. The boy was thrown hard and was stopped again. It was difficult to breathe, and his whole face was suffocated.
red.
Long Fei waved his hand, and Xu Chu slowly let go of the man. With the fresh air, the knight who was almost suffocated gasped for breath. When he was almost out of breath, Long Fei asked: "What are you doing?"
The knight looked around and saw that these people were all dressed as ordinary people, but they had weapons in their waists. They should not be Youzhou soldiers. The knight was frightened and hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me! I am just a messenger, just a messenger."
!”
"Gongsun Zan's messenger?"
The knight nodded repeatedly and hurriedly took out the letter written by Gongsun Zan to Gongsun Fan from his arms: "General Gongsun asked me to send the letter to Gongsun Fan in Yi County. I don't know anything else. Please spare my life, your Majesty."
He took the letter and opened it. In fact, it was nothing important. Gongsun Zan asked Gongsun Fan to guard Yi County. They fought with Yuan Shao in Fan Yang. They failed in the first battle and prepared to retreat. Gongsun Fan sent people to take over. They rolled up the bamboo slips again.
After stuffing the bag into the bag, Long Fei ignored the knight and turned around to go deeper into the forest. Xu Chu and Chen Dao looked at each other and nodded slightly. Xu Chu suddenly grabbed the knight's neck and broke his neck with all his strength.
throat.
After reading it, Guo Jia said: "If Gongsun Zan wants to retreat here, Yuan Shao will definitely lead his troops to pursue him. There must be a magic weapon for victory in Yi County. Just in case, he must send people in to check carefully before attacking the city. If he attacks rashly, he may
It will only increase casualties.”
Long Fei nodded: "I think so too!" He called Chen Dao, handed him the letter, whispered a few words, and Chen Dao turned around.
It was the same fast horse, heading straight for Yixian County. The defenders on the city wall immediately raised their crossbows and shouted: "Stop! Stop! If we go forward, we will release arrows!"
Chen Dao took the war horse and turned around twice: "I am a messenger. I have a letter to give to General Gongsun under the command of the lord. Open the door quickly!"
Gongsun Fan was invited to the city tower. He lowered his head and glanced at the visitor. He was wearing a Youzhou military uniform and was riding alone. He didn't see any movement of military horses behind him. He waved to someone to open the city gate to a gap and let Chen Dae in.
Chen Dao dismounted in front of Gongsun Fan, knelt down and took out the letter and presented it to Gongsun Fan. After reading it, Gongsun Fan showed no expression and asked someone to take Chen Dao down to rest.
As expected, Yixian County has a back-up plan. From the outside, the square walls around it actually built an urn city. Even if the city gate is breached, it will be attacked from all directions. As long as thousands of bows and arrows are arranged on the walls around the urn city
You will die as many as you enter. After passing the barbican, there is a deep ditch about one foot wide. The bottom of the ditch is covered with sharpened wood and a thick layer of kerosene. Usually, wooden boards are set up on top to fight.
As long as it is removed, it will be another line of defense.
The houses around the city wall have been demolished, and all kinds of equipment for defending the city are piled up. Gongsun Fan is still making strong efforts to conquer the people. There is a fortress in the west of the city, which is made of stones. Only small doors are left for entry and exit. On weekdays,
There are hundreds of soldiers defending it. Based on Chen Dao's visual inspection, this small fortress can accommodate thousands of people without any problem.
By making insinuations and talking to the soldiers, he basically found out the situation in Yixian County and had a good meal. Gongsun Fan wrote a reply and asked someone to release Chen Dao. Before leaving, he also gave Chen Dao a gift.
As a reward, Chen Dao got on his horse and left the city.
After listening to Chen Dao's narration, Long Fei was amazed: "My dear, Gongsun Zan has so many ways. If we kill him, we will suffer heavy casualties! Fengxiao, what should we do now? How can we sneak into the city?"
Guo Jia was shaking his fan and drinking wine. After a long time, he asked Chen Dao: "What did Gongsun Fan say in his letter?"
Chen Dao hurriedly opened the letter, but it was still some nonsense. It was just to reassure Gongsun Zan that Yixian County would be fine. The other person would send someone to take care of him. Guo Jia nodded: "Very good, it will be easier with him. Xianyu will help them."
Those Youzhou military uniforms left behind are useful!"
Within three days, the men sent by Gongsun Fan to meet Gongsun Zan came back. Not only did they come back, they also brought back thousands of defeated soldiers. Their clothes were in tatters and almost all of them were injured. The leader was the messenger who came to deliver the message a few days ago.
Gongsun Fan immediately let them into the city without any doubts. While comforting them, he sent people to treat the wounded, and also inquired about his eldest brother Gongsun Zan.
One after another, defeated soldiers came every day, ranging from one or two thousand to three to five hundred. On the fifth day, Gongsun Fan had not yet gotten up, and he was awakened by a hurried knock on the door. The general knelt down in panic.
In front of Gongsun Fan: "General! Outside the city, a group of troops and horses came from outside the city! It is said that they are Xian Yufu's troops, with more than 10,000 people!"
Gongsun Fan's eyes widened. Since Liu Yu's death, Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, and Yan Rou gathered Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes outside the Great Wall in order to avenge Liu Yu. They once attacked Shanggu and Daijun, and killed many people who took refuge with Gongsun Zan.
The official disappeared and suddenly appeared from here. Before he could get dressed, Gongsun Fan walked out the door with his sword in hand.
Under the dark city, troops and horses were neatly lined up. Gongsun Fan took a breath and ordered the whole army to prepare for war. Seeing that Yi County was in trouble, the defeated soldiers who came into the city shouted to defend the city regardless of their injuries. Gongsun Fan
I was so moved that there were many defeated soldiers, and they were all people who had experienced the war. It was natural for God to help them at this time. I immediately ordered the defeated soldiers to go to the city to coordinate the defense.
With the help of the defeated soldiers, the defenders of Yi County became more courageous. In order to take care of each other, Gongsun Fan interspersed all his defeated soldiers with each other and stood ready, waiting for the rebels below to attack.
came, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack. He waited for three hours and watched as Yi County was fully prepared. Then he raised his hand, and the whole army shouted, and the sound of trumpets and cannons behind the army shook the world.
