Chapter 374: Breakout
Of course, the tribes were reluctant to pursue a military service policy, but Li Huiyi used the open market as a weight, and promised a five-year period, so that those who served could decide whether to leave or not.
The tribes were still unwilling, and Li Huiyi was not reluctant, but took them to visit the military camp, and then ordered someone to escort them to Goguryeo to observe the war.
Seeing Goguryeo being beaten with his own eyes, he fled eastward and entered the barren mountains along the coast, and the tribal leaders were terrified and could only reluctantly agree.
Struck while the iron was hot, Li Huiyi ordered Tai Shici to personally lead the army to the tribes, recruit the strong and strong one by one, and get 50,000 soldiers.
In order to reassure these foreign soldiers, Li Huiyi may have made a heavy promise that they have the right to marry Han women, live in Han cities, and have the same salary and promotion as Han people, but one thing is that they must learn Chinese and speak Chinese.
These seem to be nothing, but after the slow passage of time, the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion are no different from the Han people.
Back to the book, Zhang He's performance in the big battle a few years ago was not outstanding, and the beggar army was also killed and wounded.
After reorganization, 20,000 soldiers were recruited and renamed the Suzaku Legion.
From Li Huiyi's naming, it can be seen that he hopes that the beggar army can be reborn in blood and become an elite division again.
Looking at the restless Zhang He, Li Huiyi ordered: "Zhang He, order you to lead the Vermilion Bird Legion on the Hulu Valley Road outside Bohai City to intercept the remnants of the defeated Gongsun Zhan. ”
Zhang He stood up and knelt down and said, "My lord, if you don't let anyone go, you are willing to be punished." ”
"Good!" Li Huiyi nodded and said: "Huang Zhong listens to the order, after Gongsun Zan leads his troops to break through, he will occupy the city, and there must be no disturbance to the people, otherwise, beheaded!" ”
Huang Zhong hugged his fists and said: "Yes!" The lord can rest assured that if someone violates the military rules, he will not personally cut off his head. ”
"Hmm." Li Huiyi stood up and said politely; "Then it's hard work, this battle is quick and decisive, and I want to wave my troops to Qingzhou as soon as possible and separate from Yuan Shao."
Gongsun Chan is not peaceful, Li Huiyi's heart has drifted to Qingzhou, and the generals under his command are also gearing up, ready to make more achievements.
And Gongsun Zan in the city did have a headache at this time, and the city was still solid before.
But as soon as Li Huiyi came, he broke a door in just a few hours.
The silence in the room made everyone depressed and uneasy.
"Guys, what do you think, let's hear it." Gongsun Chan broke the atmosphere and looked at everyone.
Looking at the people in the room, Tian Yu has some brains, and the rest are all idle people.
No one answered, Tian Yu replied: "Lord, withdraw, there is a glimmer of life in the retreat, otherwise it will only be trapped in the city." ”
Fall back?
Unwillingly, this battle has just begun, how can you retreat.
If you don't retreat, looking at the situation, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it for a few days.
Gongsun Zhan said: "You say, Yuan Shao can arrive in a few days?" ”
Tian Yu thought for a while and said: "It will take at least fifteen days, and even if you come, I'm afraid you won't be Li Huiyi's opponent." ”
Indeed, regardless of whether the city can be defended or not, a comparison of the soldiers on both sides is already very obvious.
Li Huiyi's soldiers worked in groups of three, with tacit understanding, often three people, they could deal with more than ten soldiers of Gongsun Zhan, and they did not flinch when they started fighting.
After thinking for a long time, Gongsun Chan said helplessly: "Okay, retreat, but Li Huiyi outside the city is afraid that he has already laid an ambush, so he should think of a perfect plan." ”
Tian Yu said: "Without further ado, the retreat should be as soon as possible, the subordinates think that the army can be divided into three parts, and the lord is in the middle, even if he is ambushed, he can also be killed." ”
Gongsun Zhan said with a sad face: "When you go out of the city, where should you go?" ”
Tian Yu said: "Vote for Yuan Shao, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, he will accept it." ”
"Okay." Gongsun Chan nodded and said, "Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan listened to the order and ordered the two of you to lead 10,000 soldiers to stand out from the south gate at Haishi." ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Hearing that there was no need to fight hard to defend the retreat, the two hurriedly received their orders.
Gongsun Zhan looked at Tian Yu and said politely: "Guorang, just bother you to work hard, after the old, weak, sick and disabled, I will transfer you to a team of personal guards to ensure that you stand out from the encirclement." ”
Tian Yu said expressionlessly: "Thank you, lord, I will not hold back Li Huiyi's army." ”
Since he decided to retreat, Gongsun Chan no longer wasted time and ordered everyone to go back and prepare.
Out of the house, Tian Yu glanced at the twinkling starlight in the sky and shook his head helplessly.
After all, he is not a member of the Gongsun clan, no matter how dedicated he is, he will not escape the fate of an abandoned son.
The waiting time was a kind of torment for the soldiers on both sides.
Bohai City is exceptionally quiet tonight, as if falling into a deep sleep.
As soon as the time came, the south gate opened violently, and Gongsun Yue and the two led the army and quickly rushed out of the city.
The first division and three regiments of the White Tiger Army, which could be guarded outside the city, had already received the order, and when they saw the large army rushing out of the city, they hurriedly surrounded it.
In order to survive, Gongsun Dajun also fought for his life and rushed forward to kill without hesitation.
Seeing that the casualties were too great, Liao Hua, the commander of the third regiment, hurriedly ordered to open an opening to leave a way for the enemy to survive.
Seeing that Gongsun Yue and the others rushed out of a gap, they hurriedly led their troops to flee in a panic.
With the hope of survival, Gongsun's army no longer fought hard, and scrambled to flee first, and some even waved their weapons at their comrades who were blocking the front.
For a time, Gongsun's army suffered heavy casualties, and Gongsun Yue and his two men only led less than 3,000 people, breaking out of the encirclement.
Seeing that the city gate was still closed, Liao Hua gathered his soldiers and prepared to encircle again.
As soon as the order was given, tens of thousands of troops rushed out of the city, and they were caught off guard for a while, so that they could easily kill them.
Seeing that two waves of troops had rushed out, Liao Hua knew that there must not be many soldiers and horses in the city, so he immediately ordered the siege of the city, and then asked Huang Zhong for instructions.
After slamming the city gate for half an hour, the gate was finally knocked down, and Liao Hua led his army into the city, and the reinforcements sent by Huang Zhong had also arrived.
Tian Yu held on for several hours, and when he saw that the general trend had gone, he did not break through, so he immediately led his troops to surrender.
Tian Yu took the lead in surrendering, and the fighting in the city gradually subsided, with only a sporadic small army of Gongsun still struggling uselessly.
On the other side, Gongsun Yue and the others finally broke out of the encirclement, and before they could catch their breath, a familiar voice sounded, which frightened the two of them.
"Tai Shi Ci is ordered by my lord to wait here for a long time, the enemy will quickly dismount and surrender, otherwise, die!"
Tai Shi Ci!
When he moved to the state, he fought several times, all of which were defeated, and the memory in his mind is still vivid.
Gongsun Fan clenched his spear and said to Gongsun Yue, who was showing his face on the side: "You and I will fight Tai Shici together, so that there is hope to kill, do you understand?" ”
Gongsun Yue's eyes were fixed on Tai Shi Ci, and he nodded quickly with a trembling voice. "Yes, yes."
"Drive! Come on! "Gongsun Fan grabbed the horse's belly and flew up with a gun." Tai Shi Ci, Hugh is rampant! ”
"Boom!"
The two guns intersected, the staggered horses separated, and Gongsun Fan did not look back, but continued to move forward to kill.
The two of them worked together to face the battle, but Gongsun Fan left suddenly, making Gongsun Yue, who rushed over, completely confused.
"Poof!"
A shot passed through the chest, Gongsun Yue's pupils dilated, looking at the back of the departing Gongsun Fan, he didn't believe it until he died, his brother would lie to him.
