Gongsun Zan raised his right arm high, waiting for the Wuhuan army to enter the shooting range, and roared: "Fire the arrow!"
Military orders are like mountains, and Gongsun Zan's voice spreads everywhere.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
A hail of arrows instantly enveloped the battlefield, screams and screams continued, roars and wails continued, and large swaths of Wuhuan people fell.
But even faster, more Wuhuan people immediately rushed forward, stepping on the corpses of their companions and heading towards Ji County.
"Quick, get on the ladder!"
Immediately afterwards, the siege began!
Tadun looked at the Wuhuan soldiers who were dying quickly without any emotion. War always kills people, especially sieges!
He wants to work hard and conquer this city quickly at all costs!
So he launched a general attack as soon as he came up, without giving Gongsun Zan any chance to breathe!
"Soldiers, follow me and kill!"
A shocking roar erupted from the Jizhou city wall, and the Youzhou army began to fight with the Wuhuan people on the city wall.
Each of them was determined to die and wanted to defend the Central Plains.
"Get out of here, you alien dogs!"
"kill!"
"Where righteousness comes, life and death follow it. The sky can tell you, and the white horse is the proof!"
The battle was unprecedentedly fierce. The battle lasted from day to night. Both sides stopped fighting and retreated their troops. Under the city wall, there was a thick pile of corpses up to two meters high.
The city gate was so badly damaged that one more charge would almost break it.
Gongsun Zan stood on the city wall, feeling exhausted, but he still gritted his teeth, commanded the army, and immediately began to repair the defenses.
"Lord!"
The general under his command really couldn't bear to look at it and said: "My lord, you should go back to the camp to rest first, and leave this place to us."
Gongsun Zan shook his head, and with his face covered in blood, he said firmly: "It is because of my presence in this battle that the morale of our army is so high!"
"I must hold on here. The Wuhuan thieves are attacking so fiercely today. They must want to take Jixian in one fell swoop. They will do whatever it takes and they will never give up so easily!"
"There will definitely be a night attack tonight. If we don't repair the fortifications and strengthen the city gate as soon as possible, I'm afraid the city gate will be breached tonight!"
"Instruct all armies to rest alternately, monitor closely at the sentry posts, and be ready for battle at any time!"
The general was sad and left in tears. The soldiers around him were filled with tears and shouted: "There are eight million sons of Youzhou, stick to Han and destroy Wuhuan!"
Gongsun Zan looked at such high morale and said nothing. His heart was extremely heavy. Such morale could be maintained for one day or two days, but could it be maintained for a month?
Wuhuan attacked so fiercely, and he didn't know how long he could defend.
At this moment, he thought of Gongsun Du, Cao Cao, and Zhao Feng.
"If we can expel Wuhuan and guard the border, then what if we surrender to Cao Cao!"
"How can others invade our ancestral land!"
Gongsun Zan clenched his fists, feeling very unwilling. He looked up to the south with sharp eyes, and finally made a decision!
"Come here! Send this letter to Xuchang quickly!"
Gongsun Zan summoned a confidant, took out a letter that had been written long ago, and handed it over.
The confidant took the letter without saying a word, ordered a few troops, and quickly left the city. He knew without thinking that this was a letter asking for help.
Nowadays, Jizhou's life and death are at stake and cannot be delayed for a moment.
Gongsun Zan looked at his retreating back, took a deep breath, then looked at everyone and said: "Continue to build fortifications and be ready to face the enemy at any time!"
In Bingzhou, near Shangdang County, a large army was stationed in a hidden valley. In the military camp, King Nanlou was pacing back and forth.
Since Tadun led the army to Youzhou, the entire military affairs of Bingzhou were entrusted to him. According to his own strategy, he divided the army into small groups to attack Cao's army.
At first, this method worked every time. With their familiarity with the terrain and the mobility of their horses, Cao Jun could only follow them and eat ashes.
They can even attract thousands of people into their trap and gain quite a bit.
But he was also aware of the guards in the city, so he laid several traps and killed four to five thousand of them.
Although the two sides did not break out large-scale battles involving tens of thousands of people near Shangdang County, small-scale battles still occurred from time to time.
Both sides have their own victories and defeats, but during this period of time, King Nan Lou discovered a big problem.
Cao's troops in Shangdang County suddenly became shrewd one by one, and their nearby locations were terrifyingly accurate every time.
These Cao soldiers began to come and go like ghosts without a trace, and there was no trace at all.
In just five days, they lost nearly ten thousand people, and countless teams lost contact with the military camp, which made King Nanlou feel extremely uneasy.
Therefore, they immediately changed their strategy and called all the teams back.
There may be a huge number of people in Cao's army!
"General, all the armies have arrived and are now gathering in the valley!"
Soon, a soldier came in to report.
King Nanlou nodded and strode out. Now that the guerrilla strategy was no longer working, they had to change their style of play.
Arriving at the school grounds in the valley, King Nanlou was stunned when he looked at the sparse soldiers and horses below.
"What is going on? Didn't we say that everyone is here? Why are there so few people!"
The general below immediately said: "Report to the general, those Cao soldiers are simply too scary. No matter where we hide, they can find us!"
"We were running away all the way. Many brothers were outside!"
King Nanlou was shocked. He saw that there were less than 70,000 men and horses in the valley. In other words, they had reduced by more than 20,000 people in the past few days!
Damn it, Tadun told him that he had better delay it for a month. What should he do? Is it possible that he has to fight Cao Jun head-on?
Are you kidding? They have 100,000 people, and their weapons and armor are of higher quality than them. Zhang He Gaolan, the guard general of Shangdang County, is a very famous warrior.
I'm afraid I won't be able to fight for thirty rounds if I step forward!
Just when King Nanlou was in a state of confusion and confusion, there was a sudden tremor in the valley.
The echoes were deafening.
"kill!"
The sudden killing sound made everyone panic.
"It's Cao Jun, Cao Jun is here!"
The Wuhuan army was trembling with fear. Did the ghostly Cao army come here to chase them?
"escape!"
This thought was in everyone's mind. They were originally chased here by Cao Jun. They were shocked by the killing sound and couldn't muster any fighting spirit!
And listening to the sound of the horseshoe armor, who knows how many thousands of people are coming. If you don't run away at this time, you will die!
Suddenly, the valley was in chaos, the tents were destroyed, everyone was in chaos, and King Nanlou felt his head was buzzing.
You are angry, scared and worried, there are 70,000 of us, what are you afraid of!
"Hold still, isn't it Cao Jun? Follow me and fight out!"
He drew out his sword and hacked to death a few deserters. Only then did he stabilize the morale of the army a little. He led a group of elites and cut a road towards the valley.
"Zhang Wenyuan of Yanmen is here, the Wuhuan thieves will die soon!"
Zhang Liao's voice sounded like thunder, and behind him were three thousand Bingzhou cavalry, each holding a Spring and Autumn sword, with a ferocious look and overwhelming fighting spirit!
