Chapter 49 Hit the city gate

I retreated to wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and I was not in a hurry to fight with Gongsun Du. Xiong Zheng reported to him: "Lord, Zhang Ren and Yan Xing, the 10,000 reinforcements led by the two generals Zhang Ren and Yan Xing are coming quickly!" I ordered: "I ordered Zhang Ren and the others not to come and meet me. I want them to secretly copy Gongsun Du and wait for an opportunity to fight! There are also the 3,000 people led by Gao Shun who are also heading towards us? You can let Gao Shun come, and also tell the enemy with great fanfare that our reinforcements have arrived! Let Gongsun Du know that they are powerful!"

Han Song said worriedly: "Lord, are you not afraid that Gongsun Du will send troops to block General Gao Shun?" I laughed and said: "Okay! I just waited for Gongsun Du to send troops to block Gao Shun!" I looked at everyone, paused and continued: "I'm still afraid that Gongsun Du would not block! Haha!" Xu Zheng saw it and knew my intention, but he just didn't say it through. I also smiled and signaled to Zheng.

A few days later, Gongsun Du looked at the army and horses winding in the distance and said, "Is that Gao Shun's army?" Yang Zuo, the young general beside him, replied, "Yes! Lord!" Gongsun Du said, "Yang Zuo, Bei Yan listened to my order to attack the enemy! I will wipe out this team!" "Preparation!" "Father, what's going on? The other party stopped moving forward!" Gongsun Kang pointed at Gao Shun's army and said, "Gongsun Du was also stunned.

At this moment, Gao Shun shouted loudly: "Gongsun Du, I know you will definitely send troops to block us from supporting our lord! You are not afraid to tell you that my lord has sent you to attack your base camp!" "What?" Gongsun Du stood up, he looked behind, but the smoke rolled into the sky.

Gongsun Du said in surprise: "Maybe there are still a large number of Fan Li's army ambush here, retreat quickly! Go back to the camp!" With Gongsun Du's retreat, his army kept retreating, while Gao Shun led his three thousand troops to chase him all the way.

Gongsun Du was walking away in panic. I led my army to intercept the road. Gongsun Du dared not fight. Gongsun Yuan, who was only a teenager, made a statement: "Father, grandfather, please let me stop the enemy!" Gongsun Kang said uneasy: "Although my son's courage is commendable, you are too young!" Instead, he looked at Yang Zuo and Bei Yan. Gongsun Du naturally understood and said to Yang and Bei, "The two generals are both powerful generals in our army. Now there is a big disaster. Who else can I trust if I don't trust the two generals?"

After all, Yang Zuo and Bei Yan were young. After hearing the praise, they floated up to the sky and were willing to lead their troops to block the pursuers. So Gongsun Du was blocked by two people and retreated quickly again. While running, Li Xiong looked at Gongsun Du from afar. He pulled his bow and arrow, and shot at Gongsun Du with a "whirl" and hit Gongsun Du's shoulder. Gongsun Du almost fell off the horse. Fortunately, Gongsun Kang was quick to hold him up. Seeing that his father was injured, Gongsun Kang fled in panic.

On the other hand, how can Yang and Bei resist? Bei Yan went out to the horse and cursed: "Don't use conspiracies and tricks anymore! Those who have the ability will fight with me alone!" After hearing this, Hua Xiong came out angrily and fought with Bei Yan for a long time, killing Bei Yan under the horse. Yang Zuo looked around, thinking that there was no way out, so he led his army to surrender.

Gongsun Kang protected his father and fled to Yiyang City. He closed the city gate and refused to fight. On the other hand, he sent a message to Gongsun Gong and asked him to quickly lead his army to assist in the war. Although Gongsun Kang got Yuan Shao's vanguard troops to approach Jingzhou, he did not decide to join forces with Yuan Shao and wanted to repel the Jiaozhou army alone.

After all, Gongsun Du was older, and his shot was not fatal, which was enough for him to suffer. In addition, the journey was even more important. The Jiaozhou army besieged the city and the treatment of the disease was difficult to guarantee for a while, and Gongsun Du's illness became more serious.

Half a month later, Gongsun Du's illness became worse and worse, and news came about that the Jiaozhou army had increased its troops. Not only that, Gongsun Gong's army was blocked and suffered heavy losses. It was difficult to reach Yiyang City. After hearing this, Gongsun Du was extremely worried, which made the condition worse. It seemed that it was no longer possible. Gongsun Du had to call his son Gongsun Kang and said, "Kang'er, you will be in a hurry to be a father! You will inherit my position in the future! If you are not against Fan Lijun, then you can join forces with Yuan Shao and let Yuan Shao come in and fight with Fan Li. Both of them will definitely be defeated. At this point, we can take things from it. Don't forget that Yuan Shao doesn't trust us!"

"Yes! Father, I understand. Please take good care of your illness. The child will definitely repel Fan Lijun and take down Fan Li's head!" Gongsun Kang comforted Gongsun Du with kind words. Gongsun Du shook his head. He knew that his son would be unable to fight against the Jiaozhou army!

At this moment, the shouts outside were deafening, and Gongsun Du was so shocked that he stood up, looking into the distance, and asked, "What's wrong?" An insider said, "Lord, it may be that Fan Lijun is going to attack the city!" "Ah?" Gongsun Du had not attacked the city for a long time, so he had to enjoy a peaceful life. He did not expect that the Jiaozhou army would attack the city today.

"Gongsun Du! Surrender quickly! Your general Yang Zuo also advised you to surrender! And your relative Liu Yi, Yang Yi, has fallen into the hands of our army!" A loud sound came from outside. Gongsun Kang hurriedly said to his followers, "Hurry! Order to shoot arrows! Let the enemy shut up!" "Slow! I want to go out and see!" Gongsun Du was about to get up. Seeing this, Gongsun Kang wanted to object, he had no way to say anything, so he had to help Gongsun Du out in person.

When Gongsun Du was helped to stand on the top of the city, Yang Zuo shouted: "Gongsun Du, you are desperate, so you should surrender quickly and apologize to the court!" Gongsun Du said angrily: "You are traitors! Asking Fan Li to wash the dog's head, I'm going to chop off his head!" Li Zhui came out of the city and shouted: "Braid! You force my father away! Do you still want to live?" When Gongsun Du saw Li Zhui, he said: "You are Li Fan's son? It's hateful! I should have searched closely and found you and killed you!"

Li Zhui waved his hand, and several personal soldiers led Yang Yi and Liu Yi to the city, "Catch it!", Yang and Liu both fell to the ground. Seeing that Liu Yi was worried about his life, Liu Pu couldn't help but scream: "No! No!" But Liu Yi's head had already fallen, and he fainted. Gongsun Du shouted and fell to the ground. Gongsun Kang and others hurriedly supported him and took him back to the sleeping room.

At night, a man secretly looked around on the top of the city, then took advantage of the inattention and shot an arrow down the city, then pretended to be nothing, and continued patrol. Someone at the city immediately picked up the arrow and ran to the central army quickly.

The soldier showed me the paper shot from the people who sneaked into Yiyang City. I looked carefully and was overjoyed and said, "Great! Gongsun Du is dead! Order the soldiers to have a good rest tonight, and play the joy of joy early tomorrow morning, and then shout to attend the funeral for Gongsun Du!" I turned to everyone: "Okay! Everyone have a good rest, tomorrow will be another death battle!"

Early the next morning, a look of joy sounded, and the soldiers of the Jiaozhou Army shouted: "Gongsun Du is more than dead!" Many soldiers in the city didn't know that his lord Gongsun Du was dead, but some people who were familiar with the matter also spoke in a low voice after hearing the shouts. As a result, one spread to ten, ten spread to hundreds, and the morale was depressed.

The war drums were beating. The Jiaozhou army lined up and pressed towards Yiyang City. The defenders on the city hurriedly used crossbows, rolling stones, falling woods, throwing short spears and other means to stop the Jiaozhou army from advancing. Although the Jiaozhou army suffered continuous casualties, they still climbed the city without hesitation and continued to climb to the city.

The soldiers of the Jiaozhou Army surrounded Yiyang City layer by layer. The Jiaozhou soldiers under the city pushed the car-knock made of giant wood to hit the city gate, while the defenders inside were desperately pushing the city gate to prevent them from breaking open. Unfortunately, the city gate was knocked open a hole, and the suicide squad immediately drilled inside. Although one of them died when they entered, the Jiaozhou soldiers continued to join in.

"Quick! Block the hole! Come on the big tree! Come on! " Gongsun Huang, who was supervising the battle, shouted loudly. The soldiers brought the big tree and blocked the hole." Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Jiaozhou soldiers outside the city were not giving up and continued to hit the door.

Several Jiaozhou soldiers appeared on the walls on the top of the city. They shot arrows at the guards who were facing the city gate. The guards were killed by arrows. Other guards on the top of the city were chasing these Jiaozhou soldiers. These Jiaozhou soldiers were fighting and leaving, and were constantly looking for opportunities to shoot arrows to kill the guards at the top of the city. Moreover, there were more and more Jiaozhou soldiers climbing to the city, and it was difficult for the guards to repel or eliminate the Jiaozhou soldiers in the city.

The guards at the top gate had no time to replace their dead comrades. After the sound of "Bang! Bang!", the city gate was knocked open a crack! The crack was enough for two people to come in sideways! Zhang Ren, who was commanding the siege, was already waiting under the city. When he saw that the city gate was about to be opened, he strode to the front of the city gate. As soon as the city gate opened, he squeezed his body into the city gate.

The guards were panicked when they saw this, and the guards on both sides of the door hurriedly wanted to close the door!

[Note 1]: Today, Yiyang City, Hunan Province.

The exciting content of the next chapter: Zhang Ren pushed the city gate forward half a foot and quickly pressed it on, like a gecko sticking tightly to the city gate. With just this half foot gap, he avoided the chopped axe. The axe was about to be opened to the city gate, but it was too late to recover it. The axe hit the city gate, splashing waves of sparks, but the tiger's arm was hurt. Zhang Ren took the axe into his arms and struggled desperately, but everything he did was useless.
