June is like fire.

Jicheng, besieged on all sides, the two countries combined hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack, the battle was fierce, outside the city, bursts of horses' hooves, shouting and killing, war drums, soldiers fighting...... It seems to converge into a beautiful mourning song, resounding in the sky.

South City Gate.

Knock knock.

In the midst of the passionate drumming, there was a fierce collision between the city and the city, with arrows coming and going on both sides, and the offense and defense were very happy.

This is already the seventh siege of the South City Gate by the Jin army in ten days.

The south city gate gathered 20,000 elite soldiers, and the defenders were the old opponents of the Jin army, Tian Kai, Tian Kai was very cautious, and the defense on the city wall was impenetrable.

"Sons of the Jin Kingdom, forward, forward!"

"Enter the Thistle."

"The Jin Kingdom will win, kill!"

The attack of the Jin State was also violent, and one by one the generals of the Jin State shouted loudly, with the soldiers under their command, the trebuchet, the ramming car, and the ladder...... One by one, the engineering equipment was pushed out and kept moving forward.

At this point, many people know that whoever can enter Jicheng will be able to enter Youzhou justifiably, and they have to work hard.

Outside the city, on a hillside in the distance, in front of the Jin army's Chinese army camp, Yuan Shaowei'an's body was draped in dark armor, with a canopy on his head, his expression was cold, exuding a strong coercion, and his eyes were looking at the battle ahead.

"Yuan Hao, is it a direct attack today?"

After half a ring, Yuan Shao sighed helplessly and asked.

This is not a one-time battle, it must be done step by step, and as long as each attack can be taken one step forward and close to the city gate, it is considered progress.

These days. They kept advancing, already pushing the attack formation under the city gates.

"There should be no problem!"

Tian Feng's somewhat emaciated voice stood beside him, his eyes also looked at the battle of the city gate, squinted, and said, "But if we attack the city, we may pay a lot of casualties." Now that the main force of the Yan Kingdom is still there, it is necessary to consume them to death, so that we can have hope of breaking the city. ”

Although in recent years, Gongsun Zhan's reputation has obviously plummeted because of the defeat in several battles in Jizhou, and he is a little decadent, and his sharpness has been lost, from a wolf to a guard dog.

But he has always been the one who has beaten out a piece of the world in Youzhou with one hand and one foot, and now the main force of soldiers and horses under the command of Gongsun Zan is definitely the most elite. No one dares to underestimate it.

"Alas, Gongsun Zhan's elite combat effectiveness is still good, you can't fight hard, the casualties are too great, let's take our time!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao squinted slightly, measured it in his heart, and his gaze crossed a sharp light. While capturing Jicheng, he will not forget that there is a tiger in the north of Jì.

Although they have signed an alliance under the city. Whoever enters Jicheng first will withdraw from Guangyang County, but this is a situation where the strength of the two sides is almost the same.

If the Jin Kingdom has suffered too many casualties because of the siege of the city, its vitality will be greatly damaged and its troops will be insufficient. Even if you barely enter the city, you will be driven out.

The alliance was established to tear it apart, and it was not the first time that Wu had torn the alliance, and he didn't regard this alliance under the city as one thing, but it was just a comfort for both sides to find a safe attack on Jicheng......

"The King. News from Jizhou! ”

At this time, the judge walked out of the camp tent, strode up, and said in a low voice to Yuan Shao's back: "Chun Yuliang, Zhang Jaw, and Gao Gan have not blocked Sun Zhongmou, and there is no news in the southeast and west, so Sun Zhongmou should be likely to enter Youzhou with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, intending to ambush our camp!" ”

"What!"

When Yuan Shao heard this, in the face of the good mood of about to capture Jicheng, he was all burned, his eyes became gloomy, and his eyes were extremely cold: "Waste, it's all a bunch of waste!" ”

The previous news was that Sun Quan, who failed to intercept the people of Montenegro, was blocked later, but now Sun Quan has escaped again, as long as he thinks of millions of people sneaking away under his nose, he has a depression in his heart that he can't go back.

Now with the addition of Sun Zhongmou, his eyes are getting colder and colder.

He felt that the generals under his command had let a milky teenager play.

Jizhou, the hinterland of the Jin State, where he started, let the forces of the Wu State run rampant, and it was difficult for him not to be angry.

"Open jaw, Gao Gan, Chun Yuliang, they are all a bunch of waste!"

Yuan Shao said coldly: "I can't even stop a few people, now the Black Mountain Yellow Turban has been taken away by Wu Guo, and they haven't even caught Sun Zhongmou, they are all a group of useless things!" ”

"King!"

Tian Feng squinted his eyes, his eyes were lifelike, and he said in a low voice: "Since Sun Zhongmou is going north, it must be the soldiers who are taking risks and intending to raid us, this is a good opportunity, the king can catch Sun Zhongmou with his own hands!" ”

"Yuan Hao!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao's expression calmed down, his eyes moved slightly, and he said: "Now that we are attacking Jicheng with a new and wholehearted intention, if Sun Zhong's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses appear behind, it will inevitably make our offensive collapse." ”

Compared with Sun Quan, he cares more about Jicheng, of course, if he can kill two birds with one stone, it will not affect them to capture Jicheng, and he can catch Sun Zhongmou, he doesn't mind a battle.

"Not necessarily!"

When Tian Feng heard this, there was a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, and he quickly shook his head and said in a low voice: "King, don't forget about it, our Jin Kingdom in Youzhou is not only the strength here, we also have soldiers and horses all the way!" ”

"Daigun!"

Yuan Shao's eyes instantly burst into a flash of light, and said, "That's right, now that the whole situation is in place, General Wen Chou should also come back!" ”

After the soldiers and horses of the Jin State seized Dai County, Wen Chou was responsible for guarding Dai County, and he still had tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses under his command, if he could come back, he would definitely be able to give Sun Quan a good surprise.

"Now Daijun has been stabilized!" Tian Feng nodded, and then said: "Wen Chou can lead troops into Zhuo County, but although Sun Zhongmou's son is not very old, he is very cunning, we must determine the direction of his ambush against us, and then ambush him first, otherwise, even if he fails, it will be difficult to catch him." ”

Sun Quan's reputation is not weak, and Tian Feng has also studied his experience over the years. It's just a little loach, it's too slippery.

"Let's go, let's go into the camp!"

Yuan Shao's eyes moved slightly, nodded, and then left the hillside and walked into the camp behind him. There is a map on top of a case table with a sand table in the middle.

When marching and fighting, the control of the terrain is the most important.

"Yuan Hao, you think Sun Zhongmou will attack our one direction!" Yuan Shao looked down at the terrain of Youzhou, his eyes were cold, and he asked in a low voice.

Now his logistics line is very long, with Liangxiang as a transit station, together with Jizhou, through Guangyang. Of course, this logistics line is very stable, even if Sun Quan cuts it off, it will have little impact on him.

Now the most important thing is the camp under Jicheng, which is opened in one line and connects the east and west gates. The target was too big, so he couldn't prevent Sun Quan's surprise target.

"The first one he must be the first to hit a good country." Tian Feng said.

"If that's the case, if we increase our troops and horses to defend Liangxiang, will we be able to stop Sun Quan!" At this time. Yan Liang, the general standing next to him, raised his head, and there was a cold glint in his eyes.

He had been studying the attack on Jicheng. Hearing Sun Quan's news, he couldn't help but interject.

"No way!"

When Tian Feng heard this, he shook his head and said, "If they can't cross the good country, they will retreat in the face of difficulties, and finally choose Sun Ce's soldiers and horses in the round." Enhance Sun Ce's strength, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to catch Sun Zhongmou! ”

Everyone in the camp is there, and Yuan Shao actually has a bitter hatred for Sun Quan, which has been stored since Sun Quan kidnapped Yuan Xi's concubine who had already given a dowry.

As a child of a family, he values face the most. The dignified woman that the Yuan family took a fancy to, actually let Sun Quan forcibly take her away, this is the **naked slap in the face of their Yuan family.

Now Sun Quan led his troops to make trouble in Jizhou, and then the millions of Black Mountain Yellow Turbans he had already looked at, which made Yuan Shao's hatred for him more and more violent.

If there is a chance to catch Sun Quan, they really don't mind taking risks.

"What if they live in a good country?" Yuan Shao squinted slightly and asked lightly.

"Then they have two goals, either to attack the formation that is passing from Guangyang and attacking us, or to bypass Guangyang and attack General Ju Yi who is now stationed at the West City Gate!"

Tian Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze flickered.

"Yuan Hao, where do you think they will attack?" Yuan Shao asked.

"It should be the East City Gate!"

Tian Feng's eyes burst with a gleam, and he said: "Sun Zhongmou is so risky, it is nothing more than to force us to withdraw our troops, and then let Wu Guo monopolize Jicheng, now as long as he repel you, he can hope to achieve this purpose." ”

"So, his goal is to be lonely, good, to come well!" Yuan Shao's eyes burst into a cold light, and he said, "This time, Sun Zhongmou is going to be captured alive." ”

Sun Zhongmou, a young man with a crown, was hated by him too much.

"They should have entered Youzhou, now waiting for them to appear, as long as they appear, General Wen Chou will lead his troops to reblock the road to Liangxiang, when the time comes, Sun Quan will definitely have no way out!" Tian Feng showed murderous intent on his face and said in a low voice.

"Hahaha!"

Yuan Shao was in a good mood, and when he thought of the genius-like son who could catch Sun Wentai, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "This time, Sun Zhongmou is probably invincible!" ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At this moment, a big battle is also breaking out at the East City Gate.

In the camp in the distance, the main general Sun Ce was wearing battle armor, leaning over, squinting, and looking at the topographic map of Jicheng, this Gongsun Chan is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, Jicheng is too difficult to fight.

Two strong attacks, paying a lot of casualties, and finally being able to hit under the city gate.

The walls of Jicheng City are thick, and the guards are all the countless battles that Yan has passed, and the elite soldiers and horses who survived, and the equipment to defend the city are also leakless, like a big hedgehog, so that they are a little unable to start.

"Chen Junshi!"

Sun Ce's eyes looked at Chen Gong beside him and asked, "Do you have a good plan?" ”

"Prince!"

Chen Gong shook his head and said: "Now that the siege battle has just begun, the tens of thousands of main forces in the city are still there, all the strategies are useless, we can't consume these main forces of the Yan Kingdom, and if we want to enter the city, it is impossible." ”

"Gongsun Zhan's elite?"

Sun Ce frowned, there was a cold glint in his eyes, and said: "These are soldiers and horses with strong combat effectiveness, if we want to kill them, we have to pay a lot of price!" ”

"It's inevitable!"

Chen Gong said with a wry smile.

Strategists and strategists, not everything can be sought. Now Gongsun Chan has made up his mind, even the basic fighting generals are unwilling, and it is a battle to the death, isn't this a clear death, they have no second method except for a strong attack.

"His grandson Chan wants to fight with injuries. A certain family is not afraid! ”

Since there was no good way, Sun Ce's expression also became tenacious, his eyes flowed with a strong fighting intent, and he said coldly: "What we have is time to slowly consume, it depends on how long they consume energy!" ”

"Gongsun Chan is well prepared!"

Chen Gong thought for a while and said analytically: "But Jicheng is not small, the people in the city are not in the decimale, they need food support, a guess." Jicheng will not attack, and will be surrounded to the death, which can support about a month to two months at most! ”

"Then let's take our time!" When Sun Ce heard this, he said: "Fighting with him is not a way after all, the casualties are too great!" ”

"The most important thing is that the Jin Kingdom is eyeing them, and we must guard against them!"

Chen Gong added.

The establishment of the Jin State is their number one enemy, and Yuan Shao's current strength is still above theirs, if they attack the city. And the casualties were too large, Yuan Shao would even swallow them directly.

"Prince. We caught a man who had trespassed into our camp, and he said that he was sent by Donghou! At this time, a soldier of the Overlord Iron Cavalry appeared in the camp with a young man with a big head.

"Wang Xiaoer, a native of Zhuo County, visits Jiang Hou!"

Wang Xiaoer walked into the camp, and saluted the mighty Sun Ce with some apprehension.

"Don't think about it!"

Sun Ce's expression was a little surprised, his eyes were like lightning, and he looked at him deadly. He asked, "Zhongmou called you?" ”

"Donghou asked a certain to bring a letter to you!"

Wang Xiaoer nodded and handed over a letter.

In Fangcheng, which Sun Quan occupied, Wang Xiaoer took refuge in the state of Wu, the reason why Sun Quan sent him to deliver the letter was not to send other henchmen scouts. That's because, in Youzhou, his familiarity with the terrain is not comparable to those who hold a map.

"Strategist, look!"

After Sun Ce's eyes looked at the letter, it was a little ugly, and he immediately handed the letter to Chen Gong.

"Donghou is really adventurous!"

Chen Gong also looked at it, a little surprised by Sun Quan's adventure, but suddenly a spiritual light flashed in his mind, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, he looked at Sun Ce and said, "Junhou, there is a certain strategy, maybe you can open the city gate!" ”

"Say!"

"Fiction and reality!"

Chen Gong squinted his eyes and spit out two words in a low voice.

"Fiction and reality?"

Sun Ce was a little confused, and his eyes were a little dazed, still looking at him.

"Prince!"

Chen Gong began to point to the terrain on the sand table to analyze it in detail, and said: "You see, the scale of Jicheng is not small, these four city gates are a little far away, this is our opportunity, Gongsun Chan is also very clear, we are at odds with the Jin Kingdom, so he must want to see the battle between us and the Jin Kingdom." ”

"That's right!" Sun Ce nodded.

"We want him to let go of his guard against me, so we have to make them feel that we are not fighting Yan Guo anymore, but going to deal with Jin Guo!" Chen Gong said categorically: "So, when we come here today, we will withdraw our troops!" ”

"Retirement?" When Sun Ce heard this, he couldn't sit still and stood up suddenly.

"Yes!"

Chen Gong nodded and said firmly: "Withdraw the troops, and then let the soldiers and horses at the North City Gate quickly move south to support Donghou." ”

"Master Chen, let's be clear, I'm a little confused!" Sun Ce felt that it was really tiring to talk to these strategists, and if he wanted to know their purpose, a head was not enough.

"Junhou, Donghou's tens of thousands of troops Jicheng don't know, if we retreat here, and he suddenly appears at the East City Gate, the soldiers and horses at the North City Gate also go south, then what will they think?" Chen Gong asked.

"Naturally, I think that our soldiers and horses have all gone to attack the Jin Kingdom!" Sun Ce's eyes lit up: "But our soldiers and horses didn't go south at all!" ”

"When the time comes, the East City Gate will inevitably relax its vigilance and focus on the South City Gate and the West City Gate, and this is our opportunity."

The corners of Chen Gong's mouth curled slightly, and his voice was full of confidence.

This is also the ploy he thought of when he saw Sun Quan's soldiers and horses appear in Youzhou.

"Good, this plan is great!"

Sun Ce suddenly said that the Chen Palace of the soldiers and horses, his handsome face was overjoyed, and said: "When their soldiers and horses are concentrated in the southern city, and then we suddenly appear here, and launch the most fierce attack, it is possible to break through Jicheng in one fell swoop and enter the city first!" ”

"That's right!"

Chen Gong nodded and said.

"Good!" Sun Ce got up and said loudly to the heralds: "The herald goes down, stop attacking the city gate immediately, and let Gongsun Du, Zheng Dong, and Gu Bai come to meet a certain person quickly!" ”

If you want them to believe, you have to retreat miles.

"Junhou, we need General Hansheng's assistance in this battle."

"Hmm!"

Sun Ce nodded and said, "A certain person immediately sent a message to General Hansheng, asking him to give up the West City Gate and lead his troops south, and he will bow to Yi for a while." (To be continued......)
