Chapter 330: Jixian Offensive and Defensive Battle

In May 192 AD, Gongsun Zhan conquered Jixian at the cost of losing 20,000 soldiers and horses.

There was a sea of fire in Jixian County, the people cried helplessly, and the fierce soldiers shouted and killed.

"Lord, I have caught Liu Yu in the south of the city!" Shan rushed to the council hall of the official residence to report the latest battle situation.

At this time, although Gongsun Chan was victorious, he was already anxious. Because of the latest news that Tanma was outside, Qin Feng's 40,000 army was already on the way. It's not that he didn't think about Qin Feng's coming to help, but he never thought that Qin Feng would be able to quickly conquer and merge states, so he returned very quickly.

Gongsun Zan currently only has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses left, although he initially thought of retreating, but Qin Feng's speed was too fast, if he attacked him with Liu Yu on both sides, he would definitely die, so he could only kill Liu Yu first.

"What about the others?"

"Only Tian Chou ran away, and all the others were killed by our army."

"Let everybody come and talk about it."

So Tian Kai, Gongsun Yue, Shan Jing, and Zou Dan all arrived.

"Qin Feng will arrive tomorrow, he has 40,000 horses in his hands, what do you think about this?" Gongsun Chan said.

Gongsun Yue said: "Brother, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, take me to pick up the soldiers and horses, and capture Qin Zijin to ...... my brother." ”

Everyone immediately looked at each other, and said in their hearts that what you said was easy. But I know that Gongsun Yue is a reckless man, so I should listen to it.

Gongsun Chan loved this loyal brother very much, so he said: "Listen to other people's opinions. ”

Zou Dan was a little strategist in Gongsun Zhan's camp, so he said: "Lord, Qin Feng is from afar. When the head is blowing! ”

"No! Zhao Yun and Xu Chu under Qin Feng. is more powerful than Yuan Shao's Yan Liang and Wen Chou...... Tian Kai hurriedly said.

Zou Dan, who is quite strategic. I looked down on the martial artist very much, and I knew that I was going to fight alone, and frowned and said: "You can wave the army to cover up the killing!" weishenme has to fight and kill alone! ”

Scrimmage! Qin Zijin's elite soldiers eat three meals a day, although they are tired from afar, they are not soldiers who can fight if we eat two meals! Shan Jing followed Gongsun Chan to defeat under Qin Feng in a row, and his heart was empty, but he knew Gongsun Chan's temper, so he just muttered in his heart.

Tian Kai looked at the appearance of the lord, and knew that the lord did not want to see this proposal. Immediately he said again; "Jixian County is tall, so you can hold on. Now is the summer harvest season, let's go around to grab the grain. In addition, there are many more rolling stones, limes, etc.! ”

Gongsun Yue said with a big grin: "Don't joke, when we attacked the city, Liu Yu's old man used up all the materials, and there were materials there!" ”

Tian Kai said with a smile: "There are many houses in Jixian County, and there are a lot of materials to demolish a few rooms. ”

Gongsun Yue was immediately happy. Said: "yes, why didn't I come up with it." ”

"In this way, with our previous grain and grass and the original inventory of Jixian County, it is enough for the army to eat for two years. It's been a long time. Yuan Benchu of Jizhou will definitely make a move, and that will be our opportunity. Tian Kai said very complacently.

Gongsun Zhan thought deeply and said: "Now the Quartet is rising together. Who can stay together under my city for many years, even Qin Zijin! It's been a long time. There will definitely be princes attacking him, and then it will be my chance. ”

"What should Liu Yu do?" Shan Jing Zuihou asked.

"Liu Yu is very prestigious in Jixian County. I want to stick to Jixian County, this person can't be moved for the time being, and he will be imprisoned first. Gongsun Chan said.

So, Gongsun Zhan immediately sent 20,000 soldiers and horses to grab grain around Jixian County. Locusts are like locusts, rolling in and out of the fields, and the people in the places they bring are not able to live for thousands of miles!

Tomorrow.

Qin Feng's 40,000 troops came to line up outside the south gate of Jixian County.

Gongsun Zhan was above the city, and when he saw the cavalry phalanx of five thousand white horses, he felt a pain in his flesh. These horses were the mounts of his elite white horse servants before, and they were the capital he had collected for more than ten years. Now, because of the failure of the battle with Yuan Shao, all 20,000 loads of grain will belong to Qin Feng. He shouted angrily at the head of the city: "Qin Zijin, you are not in Shanggu County, why did you come to attack Youwu, you must know that General Ben is also an important minister of the court, you move troops without permission, and there is a court in your eyes!" Thou hast vainly called thou shalt be loyal and righteous! ”

Qin Feng wants to be famous, how can he allow others to slander himself, he rode his horse to the city and shouted: "Gongsun Zhan, you can say it." As a Han minister, you are a Han minister, and Lord Liu Yu is a relative of the Han family, and you are the ruler of Youzhou, so it is just that you are a shameless person who does not obey discipline on weekdays. Now rebels have attacked Jixian County, robbing the people of food everywhere, and the people are struggling to make a living. Thou art a man who is inferior to a pig and a dog, and what is thy face, and a dog barks before me? ”

"As a general, you have the right to supervise the world's soldiers and horses, how can you allow you, a mad and ferocious person, to harm Youzhou! Surrender, if not, break the city and ask for your dog's head! Avenge Lord Liu Yu! ”

Qin Feng was telling the truth, and Gongsun Zhan was talking nonsense, so his face turned blue with anger at the moment, and he said angrily; "Qin Zijin, don't take advantage of your tongue, Lord Liu Yu is afraid that you will attack Jixian, so I will come to defend together." As soon as he said that, he waved his hand, and Shan Jing showed Liu Yu's face, Liu Yu had hemp walnuts stuffed in his mouth, and he could only wave his hand to signal Qin Feng, but he couldn't speak.

Gongsun Chan then said loudly; "See, you came to me when you started a rebellion. In vain, you claim to be loyal, today I and Lord Liu Yu will work together to defend Jixian County, if you want to attack the city, come, if you don't have the courage, let the general get out! ”

Qin Feng looked at it coldly, turned his horse back, he delayed a lot of time just to want Gongsun Zan to kill Liu Yu, but he didn't expect Liu Yu to be dead. "Yuan Hao, how is this good?"

"The lord doesn't need to worry, this is just Gongsun Zhan's demagogic plan, how can the people of Jixian County not know that he broke the city with his own hands. Our army first tried to attack Jixian in order to find out the enemy's weak link! Tian Feng said.

Qin Feng had never experienced siege warfare, but he didn't have the talent to command specifically, so he gave full authority to Tian Feng to command.

The Qin army marched slowly along the way, and the rest of the time was spent making siege equipment, ladders, and siege vehicles. There were many bags of earth for filling the moat. When the 5,000 Qin troops gradually approached, the Gongsun Zan army in Jixian County was ready for battle.

Because of the forced demolition of the people in Jixian County. Forcible seizure, so Gongsun Zhan's army of the wood. Rolling stones, oil and lime jars were plentiful. Because of the enslavement of the people, a large stock of bows and arrows was sharpened. Because of the encroachment on the people around Jixian County, the grain reserves are also sufficient.

Therefore, the morale of Gongsun Zhan's army is there.

In a tough battle, the defending side always has the advantage, as has been the case since ancient times. Therefore, Gongsun Zan is still confident that he will take advantage of the city wall and resist Qin Feng's army.

"Archer prepare!" Thousands of archers of Gongsun Zhan's army opened their bows and opened their arrows. Xiangxia 45-degree oblique aiming. Gongsun Zhan personally sat in the town, silently calculating the distance, and when the Qin army was two hundred steps away from the city, he shouted: "Shoot the arrow!" ”

As soon as his words fell, the sound of a scalp-tinging bowstring buzzed, and thousands of arrows broke through the air, covering the sky and the sun like a swarm of flying locusts, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the head of the Qin army.

Bang bang bang bang...... although the Qin army has a shield armor to protect itself. However, the soldiers who rushed to the front fell in pieces as if they had been cut wheat. The soldiers of the Qin army were not afraid of death, even if they stepped on the corpses of their comrades, they also marched forward bravely.

Draw the bow and release the arrow. Draw the bow and release the arrow. Gongsun Chan commanded his own archer troops, slaughtering the Qin army under the city, looking at the fallen Qin soldiers. The corners of his mouth showed bloodthirsty pleasure. "I have the benefit of the wall, and I have plenty of supplies. Qin Zijin, this time you will definitely be your army. Wipe out the city of Jixian County! ”

In the past, although Qin Feng had also killed and injured many soldiers, the other party had died more. This time, none of the enemy soldiers in the city died, and there were a large number of casualties on his side, to be honest, Qin Feng was really soft-hearted, he desperately wanted to retreat, to see if he could break the city like a way. He said: "Yuan Hao, is it ...... to retreat." ”

Tian Feng saw the lord's thoughts, and said: "Lord, it is inevitable to fight a tough battle. It is extremely unfavorable to the attacking party, if you are soft-hearted because of this, what a great cause! ”

You're being straight! However, Qin Feng knew that Tian Feng had such a straight temper, so he could only grit his teeth and insist.

Tian Feng couldn't sit back and watch his own side being shot, so he waved the flag, "Order the cavalry troops, ride and shoot at the head of the city!" ”

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves sounded, and five thousand cavalry and a long snake passed under the city, and a puff of flying arrows shot towards the head of the city, and the dense rain of arrows suddenly caused a lot of casualties to Gongsun Zhan's army. Gongsun Chan's army immediately squatted and hid under the battlements, even Gongsun Chan himself was no exception.

The Qin army took the opportunity to storm the city of Jixian County, and began to fill the moat with soil bags, and the people who carried the ladder were not afraid of death to take the ladder and began to climb.

Gongsun Yue Haha smiled, then picked up a fork gun, this fork gun is specially designed to deal with the ladder, and pushed hard against the top of the ladder, "Die!" ”

The ladder fell to the ground with a sound, and the Qin army on the ladder fell, the light one was injured and fractured, and the heavy one was killed on the spot.

So, Gongsun Zhan's army was a team of ten people to deal with a ladder. Five people pushed with fork guns, and the other five smashed with lime jars.

Qin Jun either fell to his death because the ladder fell to the ground, or fell because he was hit by a lime jar. Even if he was lucky enough to get rid of it, after inhaling the overwhelming lime powder, he choked half to death, and he was unable to climb.

When the siege engines of the Qin army drove to the city gate, Gongsun Zhan's army began to pour boiling oil, and after a cylinder of fire oil, a large number of torches were thrown down. Suddenly the city became a crematorium, the screams and wails of the Qin army never stopped, and countless Qin soldiers who were on fire rolled helplessly on the ground, but the ground was full of fire, and there was only a dead end waiting for them.

The wooden siege engine was also burned in this sea of fire.

Qin Feng looked at this ancient siege battle array, his face was gloomy and terrifying. The difference in strength between the two sides is not huge, and if you want to capture this city, you must exhaust the defensive materials prepared by the other side. This, how can Qin Feng withstand it!

“hahahaha……!” Gongsun Chan laughed daxiao.

Shan Jing, Gongsun Yue and others are also daxiao.

The soldiers of Gongsun Zhan's army were arrogant, looking at the soldiers of the Qin army who could not stop at the fire under the city.

"Mingjin, order the soldiers to retreat!" Qin Feng finally couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily.

Tian Feng didn't expect that Jixian County still had so many defensive materials after experiencing Gongsun Zhan's tough battle. However, how could he, an upright person, think that how many people were forcibly demolished and their homes were raided, so that Gongsun Chan had these materials.

"Qin Zijin, when you were in Jizhou last year, you weren't very powerful! Now this Jixian city is your burial place, and there is a kind of attack again! Gongsun Chan laughed in the city.

Qin Feng has fought in the Eastern Han Dynasty for eight years, and he has never been so aggrieved today, he was suddenly furious, and said: "Besiege the city from all sides, I want to take a look, this small Jixian city wall may block the martial arts of my soldiers!" ”

"The lord can't, it was Tian Feng's mistake before, which caused this failure, and the blame is on Tian Feng, but the lord is punished. However, Gongsun Chan is fully prepared this time, and he must not attack again, so he should think about it in the long run! Tian Feng directly admitted his mistake.

Qin Feng calmed down, and suddenly a thought popped up, I'm damned! Almost made the mistake of left-leaning adventurism. He could only say: "Tell the order to retreat!" ”

"Wow hahahaha...... Qin Zijin, you also have a time to run away with your tail between your legs! Scolding! Gongsun Chan said happily, and all his past grievances were vented.

As a result, tens of thousands of people scolded Gongsun Zhan together. (To be continued......)
