Chapter 401: Gongsun Du Sends Troops
While Yu Sheng'an strengthened the patrol defense of his men to prevent Gongsun Zan's army from sneak attack, he also wanted to be prepared when Yuan Shao sent people to take revenge. Gongsun Zan also felt uncomfortable. He deliberately retreated during the day's battle, which was also
The order was made with the approval of the generals meeting. Even if there is no retreat, based on the current state of Gongsun Zan's army, Yuan Shao's army will break through the boundary bridge for five days at most. In this case, it is really possible that the entire army will be annihilated.
At this point, military advisor Guan Jing couldn't think of any clever ideas, so he had to use this method to exchange land for breathing time. He divided the remaining nearly 100,000 troops into generals to manage, and each took their food and grass and retreated to Beiping and Ji.
The city was broken into pieces to fight on their own, in order to seize the small opportunity and then fight against Yuan Shao's army.
When they retreated, they planned to give Yuan Shao's army a counterattack. Gongsun Zan's son Gongsun Xu volunteered to be the bait. Although Gongsun Zan was very reluctant to part with it, in order to boost his momentum, he had to let his eldest son lead 10,000 people to the battlefield. He also arranged for Zou Dan and members of the Gongsun family.
A general named Gongsun Fang each led 10,000 troops to meet Gongsun Xu.
He took the general Zhao Yun who had just returned from defeat, the cavalry of the Gongsun family, and the remaining Baimayi soldiers, a total of 10,000 people, and rushed to Jicheng. Guan Jing, Tian Kai, Shan Jing, Gongsun Sui, and Gongsun Can of the Gongsun family divided the remainder.
The troops with more than 50,000 troops were broken into pieces and retreated, and then went to Beiping to take advantage of the geographical advantage to face Yuan Shao's army.
After the troops were divided, the command fell into the hands of the major generals. They were responsible for ambushing Zou Dan and Gongsun Fang, who were retreating according to the plan. However, unexpectedly, the enemy general Yan Liang was about to surround and strangle the pursuers.
He brought an elite cavalry to attack, and no one in Gongsun Zan's army could resist him. Among the rebels, Gongsun Fang was beheaded by Yan Liang. Gongsun Fang's tribe lost its leader, and they all started to attack.
When the birds and beasts dispersed, Gongsun Xu and Zou Dan had no intention of fighting anymore and gathered their troops to follow Gongsun Zan. Yan Liang found Yuan Shang who was disheveled but intact among the rebellious army.
Li breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was not afraid of Yuan Shao's anger at all, he would have nothing to gain if something happened to Yuan Shang. Now that he saw Yuan Shang safe and sound, his heart dropped.
Qianzhao was seriously injured in the melee, but Yan Liang didn't care about his life or death at all. He led the army to protect Yuan Shang and left, letting Qianzhao lead his remaining army to follow. He said it in two ways, when
The battle at Jieqiao came to an end, but the war broke out again in Peiping, which had been in the rear.
After learning that his youngest son Gongsun Gong was actually killed by Gongsun Xu, Gongsun Du was furious. He mobilized his subordinates Liu Yi, Yang Yi and 50,000 Liaodong cavalry. They prepared some dry food and rushed north. After a week,
On the way, the army finally arrived
When they arrived in Beiping City, the city was completely surrounded. Since Gongsun Zan's army set off, there were only nearly 10,000 guards left in Beiping City, and most of the Gongsun family members stayed in Beiping City. Beiping City can be said to be the home of Gongsun Zan's family.
The base camp.
In a village not far from Beiping City, many people from the Gongsun family lived in it. When Gongsun Du led his men to inquire about it, he was anxious to avenge his son, so he asked his general Liu Yi to lead five thousand troops.
They came to burn, kill, loot, and kill everyone in the Gongsun family.
As soon as Liu Yi arrived here, he encountered resistance from hundreds of village guards, but it was of no use. With a wave of his hand, Liu Yi led five thousand men into the village, burning, killing, looting, and insulting women. They were almost more cruel than aliens.
