Chapter 266: Attack on Ye City

Chapter 266 Attack on Yecheng

The soldiers in front of Jizhou were defeated and rushed towards the rear like a tidal wave. Every soldier looked frightened and ran as fast as he could. Sergeant Gai chased after him with a knife and slashed and killed. Life and death were at stake, so they had no choice but to work hard.

Wen Chou was held up by two of his troops, running in the middle of the defeated army with almost no feet touching the ground. He had just led more than a thousand people to the rear, and faced Sergeant Gai who was ten times his size. This move was like a mantis trying to defeat a chariot, and facts have proved it.

, like a stubborn rock standing in front of a flood, it was submerged all of a sudden. There were enemies on all sides, numbering in the hundreds. Wen Chou didn’t know how many knives he was struck by, or how many knives he received. He thought he was dead.

, I didn’t expect to be able to break out of the siege in the end, which is a miracle.

Wen Chou looked at Zhu Ling and Gao Lanjun who were fighting with Pang De's men. He knew that running straight towards them would easily cause the complete collapse of his entire phalanx, and then there would really be no way to save the situation. He coughed lightly and said to the left and right

The confidant said: "Don't run to the central army, go to the right wing." The thousands of soldiers on the right wing of the Jizhou phalanx did not suffer much losses, and there was Fushui a few miles away. The soil was relatively soft, and the power of the cavalry was greatly reduced. They only had to deal with the Gai army.

After the infantry attack, there may be a chance to regroup.

The dozens of soldiers around Wen Chou were startled for a moment, then they pushed Wen Chou out of the defeated army and ran to the right wing, shouting as they ran: "Wen Chou is here, Wen Chou is here..." Hundreds of people recognized Wen Chou.

The defeated soldiers had already followed over and shouted together. Then five thousand of the defeated soldiers joined Wen Chou's team in large numbers, and the number soon exceeded three thousand.

Regarding the arrival of thousands of defeated troops, Wang Mo, the commander-in-chief of the right wing of Jizhou, had complex thoughts and could not express any joy or sorrow. However, his reaction was extremely fast, causing the formation to open gaps and allowing the defeated troops to pass smoothly.

"Huh?" Xu Huang glanced sideways to the left with his bright eyes. Wen Chou's move was beyond his expectation. He ordered the pursuing army to be divided into two parts, one to continue to rush towards the Jizhou Central Army, and the other to cover up Wen Chou's defeated army.

, attack Wang Mo’s department.

Zhu Ling and Gao Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was already very difficult for them to deal with Pang De's thousands of cavalry. If thousands of broken troops came straight towards them, they could not guarantee that the formation would not be chaotic. By then, they would have cavalry and infantry.

Taking advantage of the chaos to attack, the consequences would be disastrous. Now that the number of defeated troops has been reduced to more than a thousand, they should not pose a threat to the army.

Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, had a solemn expression on his face. He was frightened when the front army was defeated. If it had not been for the long history, Geng Wu, holding the reins of his war horse and trying to persuade him, he, the leader of Jizhou, would have abandoned his army and fled.

.

However, the current situation is still extremely bad. Han Fu said worriedly: "The situation is over, what can we do now?"

Geng Wudao: "The soldiers of Gai's army are very strong, far beyond our imagination. We really shouldn't fight with them in the field. However, it's too late to regret it. It's useless to sigh too much. It's less than an hour before sunset. For now, the plan is to delay

When it gets dark, both sides stop fighting and then stick to the gate of the village without leaving..."

Han Fu said with a bitter face: "Guarding tightly to the gate of the village, Gai Jun is indeed in a hurry and cannot leave, but if he sends his elite cavalry to drive directly to Ye City, we will all be wandering ghosts."

"Otherwise..." Geng Wu shook his head and said: "Although we are defeated, there are still tens of thousands of people. Gai Jun knows the art of war. How dare we send out the entire army, at most tens of thousands of people. And the walls of Ye City are high and thick, and we have all the food and supplies. Young Master

With thousands of people guarding it, the city of Ye will be safe. At the same time, a message can be sent to Zhang Junyi, asking him to give way and let Gongsun Zan go south. If tigers and wolves meet, there will be damage. At that time, the general will take the pass of Sheguo and cut off Junyi.

Road, summon troops from the ten counties of Jizhou to surround and kill the two thieves. One battle can resolve the crisis in Jizhou."

Han Fu hesitated and said: "I am not afraid of Gai Jun or Gongsun, but I am actually afraid of Yuan Shao."

Geng Wu obviously didn't like Yuan Shao at all, and snorted coldly: "Yuan Shao has always cherished his reputation and feared his righteousness in order to win the hearts of the world. He never dared to set foot in Jizhou. Don't worry, general."

"..." Han Fu didn't dare to rest assured, and looked at the battlefield worriedly. Geng Wu said a lot, but there was a premise, that is, to defend until dark, and both sides would stop fighting. The question is, can the army persist until that time?

The Gai army's infantry were like a vast ocean, attacking one after another, each wave more violent than the other. They rushed to the point where Jizhou's right-wing phalanx was crumbling. General Wang Mo rode his horse in the formation and waved the flag, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Give it to me."

Block, block..."

Behind the phalanx, Wen Chou reorganized the three thousand broken troops, turned his gaze to the west, and made a shocking decision. He would lead his troops to attack Gai Jun. The idea seemed surprising or crazy, but in fact, after careful consideration, Gai Jun successively sent a group of troops to attack Gai Jun.

Thousands of cavalry and 20,000 infantry are thrown into the battlefield, and there are only 5,000 people left around them. Three thousand versus five thousand, who can be sure that there is no chance of winning?

When Wen Chou told the soldiers about his decision, they all looked at him like a madman and refused. Wen Chou said that the defeat of the army was irreversible. The army had tens of thousands of elite cavalry. Since there was no way to escape, why not survive in death?

?After his earnest persuasion, hundreds of people were still unwilling to die, so he did not force himself and set off with more than 2,000 people.

Tens of thousands of people were fighting fiercely on the battlefield. Suddenly, a small group of infantry came from the north, that is, the right wing of the Jizhou phalanx, diagonally inserted into Gai Jun's main army, which was far away. Everyone was shocked.

"This..." Han Fu's heart was pounding and his palms were covered in sweat.

"Quickly, beat the drum..." Chief Shi Gengwu screamed. Wen Chou's move was too wonderful. Let's not say whether it can succeed or not. When the coach Gai Jun is in danger, Pang De and Hu Feng's cavalry will never dare to sit idly by.

, will definitely give up the fight and turn around for rescue. At this time, it is getting late. Even if Pound and Hu Feng annihilate Wen Chou's tribe, it will be difficult for them to launch another round of attacks. The strike is a foregone conclusion, so that his advice to Han Fu can be

Implemented.

Han Fu nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, beat the drum..."

"Dong, dong, dong dong dong dong..." The thunderous sound of war drums exploded instantly, hovering over the battlefield. Seeing this, the soldiers of Jizhou were all excited. On the contrary, the soldiers of Gaijun felt uneasy.

"Ha..." Gai Jun laughed dumbly, his eyes were cold, who is so fierce and wants to play the "beheading game".

"You bastards dare to use a knife on the general, I will chop you alive." Pound was furious, his face was twisted, and his veins were squirming. "Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet... Come back and follow me and kill these guys..."

The sound of the horn sounded, but it was not from Pang De's side or Hu Feng's tribe. It came from the east, that is, behind the Jizhou phalanx. The drums on the battlefield were thunderous and earth-shattering, but they could not suppress the low and sad sound of the horn horns.

Hundreds of drummers in Jizhou stopped in unison. They stood on a high platform with their backs to the army. They could see clearly that on the horizon farther than the camp, an army of thousands of cavalry was rushing towards them. The sound of horns became louder and louder.

Passionate.

From Han Fu to Geng Wu to Zhu Ling, everyone in Gao Lan changed their expressions, but Wen Chou's army did not know the situation and continued to move forward.

"Rumble..."

The cavalry passed through the side of the Jizhou camp and entered the battlefield, shooting at the tiger. The two flags of the fallen eagle were fluttering in the wind. Bao Chu, Hu Che'er had just arrived at the designated position and learned that the Jizhou army had defeated the Jizhou front army head-on. He had no time to rest and came immediately.

.

"Kill..." Bao came out, Hu Che'er led three thousand of the most elite cavalry of the Gai army and charged into the Jizhou rear army with an overwhelming force. The Jizhou army was defeated and dispersed like dominoes. Zhu Ling, Gao Lan

The army and Wang Mo's army on the right collapsed. The soldiers ran for their lives in all directions, panicking and not turning back. The so-called defeat was like a mountain falling, and it was nothing more than that.

The tens of thousands of troops dispersed in one fell swoop. Han Fu didn't say a word and took dozens of his followers to join the rebel army and escape.

Wen Chou's army finally noticed something strange before engaging in battle, and more than two thousand people suddenly dispersed.

Gai Jun gritted his teeth and ordered the pursuit. Regardless of life or death, those who won the title of general would be given a hundred golds, paid homage to the school captain, and granted the title of marquis within the pass. The soldiers of Gai Jun heard that the reward they had dreamed of had become within easy reach, and their eyes were red. They roared and chased Wen Chou.

.

Wen Chou was in so much pain that he did not dare to escape eastward, so he turned north with a dozen of his men and drove his horses to jump into the Fu River. Gai's soldiers chased him to the river. Those who were good at swimming jumped into the river, while those who were not good at swimming bent their bows and fired crossbows.

Arrows rained down for a while, and Wen Chou felt his whole back was numb. At least he was hit by three or four arrows. He still had some protection, otherwise he would definitely be shot like a hedgehog.

Wen Chou led a dozen people down the river, but only three people, including himself, were left on the other side. Fortunately, although the horses were hit by two arrows, they were both in the buttocks, so they could not be driven. The two of them had no horses to travel with, and Wen Chou thought they would be in trouble.

After escaping pursuit, he asked the two of them to surrender, while he fought for his life on horseback. Sergeant Gai was very determined to pursue him. Wen Chou ran for hundreds of miles and escaped into Zhao State before he was able to escape his pursuers. As soon as he entered Handan, Zhao State's administrative center, he suddenly fell into a coma. The doctor fell into a coma.

Seeing his scarred body, I was shocked. A man who had suffered so many fatal injuries and almost bled out was still alive. Could it be that the sky favored this man?

Although Gai Jun was angry, Wen Chou was still a minor figure and not worthy of his excessive attention.

Looking up, Gai Jun's face was gloomy. The battlefield was densely packed with corpses. Looking from beginning to end, he estimated that the number of enemies killed would be between 14,000 and 18,000. Prisoners were still being captured. In addition to the Jizhou people crossing Fu

Water, otherwise it would be impossible to escape the pursuit of the Gaijun cavalry. There should be 10,000 or 20,000 people, and the number of people killed on our own side was around 1,000.

Which prince in the world would dare to say that he could "annihilate" Han Fu's 40,000 soldiers in Jizhou at the cost of less than 10,000 people? I am afraid that only Gai Jun has this ability. Without Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, Jizhou would be his now. Ordinarily.

He should be happy, but he cannot be happy. He hopes that the money and food from the Jizhou government treasury can comfort him a little.

Waves of cheers came, and the Jizhou camp was broken.

Gai Jun entered the main camp under the protection of many soldiers, and happily accepted the nearly 100,000 shi of grain and tens of millions of money left by Han Fu as interest. The pursuit ended when the sky became completely dark. Gai Jun entered the camp this time.

He hoped to bring 13,000 cavalry, but after a half-day battle, there were still nearly 10,000 cavalry. The more than 20,000 Jizhou defeated soldiers had no way to escape, and most of them were captured. In addition, many important figures in Jizhou were also captured, such as Chang Shi Geng Wu, the governor

Among them were Min Chun, the captain, and Yan Liang, the school captain, and Gao Lan. The first two were caught using their bodies as bait to cover Han Fu, while the latter two were seriously injured and wanted to run away but were unable to do so.

Gai Jun did not make things difficult for them, but it would be a bit bad if Han Fu ran away. If he hid in Yecheng and defended it, he would really be unable to do anything to him. Gai Jun immediately ordered Zhenwei Zhonglang, Pang De, to shoot the tiger, and the eagle fell.

The second battalion and another two thousand riders rushed to Yecheng, the seat of Jizhou. It was best to arrive before Han Fu to see if they could make a sneak attack or use a trick to capture it.

Pang De obeyed the order and took ten days' dry food with two horses. He set out lightly and galloped for more than a hundred miles all night, arriving in the northwest suburbs of Ye City in the early morning. The scouts sent by Pang De reported that Ye City had been affected by the war.

, the three south gates were closed, and only the east gate was open. Pound frowned when he heard this. The area near Yecheng was densely populated, and it was impossible to get back to the east gate without anyone noticing, so there was only one way left.

He happened to bring several Sima-level prisoners from Jizhou. There were also Black Mountain bandits in the army. Most of the original Black Mountain bandits were from Weijun, Zhao, Changshan and Zhongshan in Jizhou, and their accents were extremely pure.

The reason why he didn't try to defraud the city first was because no matter what reason he made up, there were a lot of loopholes in it and the chance of success was low. But now there was no other way but to use the dead horse as a living doctor. From among the five thousand people

Five hundred Han people were carefully selected to lead the team in person. Of course, his distinctive outfit had to be changed first.

After discussing with Bao Chu and Hu Che'er, Pang De set off on the horn, and Ma Chao shamelessly joined in, regardless of his thick northwest accent.

Halfway through the road, hundreds of people were running in confusion, and Pound was among them, wondering whether he should pretend to be defeated, claim that the food and fodder were on fire, or call for help... He thought of seven or eight reasons, and felt that each one was more unreliable than the last.

When the first ray of light appeared between heaven and earth, He Mao woke up on time, put on his clothes and washed himself, and then went on a routine inspection of the west gate of Ye City. He walked back and forth three times, holding on to the city wall, and looking into the distance. He was thirty-eight this year, and he was about to be free from confusion.

After serving in the army for seven years, he was highly appreciated by all the superior officials due to his unsmiling and strict self-discipline. In addition to his military exploits, his official career was relatively smooth. Now he is a captain. But if he wants to take a step forward, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

As He Mao was the captain of the Jizhou Department, Yuan Shao could not turn a blind eye to him. It would be a lie to say he was not tempted by the olive branch offered by the "model in the world", but he could not make up his mind for a long time. The reason was for no other reason than He Mao's poor background.

, although he really wanted to take the opportunity to climb up, he was more afraid that Yuan Shao would not succeed. At that time, he would lose everything he had, and he did not dare to gamble.

However, the situation in Jizhou has been violently shaken recently. First, the famous general Qu Yi rebelled, then Gongsun Zan went south, and then Gai Jun came west. There is always the danger of overthrow. Behind these things, there is the shadow of one person, and he is - Yuan Shao.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Han Fu's position as Jizhou Mu is in danger...

He Mao regretted a little, regretting his hesitation.

"Huh?" He Mao's eyes narrowed, and he saw hundreds of armored men running from a distance. The team was extremely messy, like a rout of soldiers... He Mao thought of "rout of soldiers" in his mind, and his heart couldn't help but "thump".

"Liang Kai, Wang Bao, Meng Yue..." As the team approached, He Mao recognized at a glance that they were the generals who sent troops with Jizhou Mu Han Fu to resist the hussar general Gai Jun. Liang Kai returned to the jurisdiction of the school captain Yan Liang, and Wang

Gao Lan, the captain of Bao's clan, and Meng Yue were close associates of Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou. They rarely interacted with each other on weekdays, and only defeat would bring them together.

defeated

Not only He Mao had expected this, but Ximen's soldiers were also obviously aware of this. There was a commotion, a commotion at the top of the city...
