Chapter 308 Gongsun Zan rushed into the besieged Guanzi City
"kill--"
Gongsun Zan roared angrily, and countless iron cavalry rushed towards the tens of thousands of thieves who were defeated like a tide. Seeing the Han soldiers coming again, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju were shocked after the defeat. The two of them didn't even want to continue running north. When the thieves saw the main general run away, they fled in fear, regardless of the captured Han people and food supplies.
"The Han soldiers are coming..."
"Escape quickly..."
Countless people fled in horror. Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju didn't even care about their wives and children. Countless Han soldiers and cavalry ignored the panicked people and waved swords to chase countless thieves who were scared. They chased them from the early morning until noon...
The Han soldiers won a great victory, and there were more than 10,000 Han prisoners, countless cattle, sheep and baggage. But just as Gongsun Zan was hesitating whether to return to the army, an unsettling news came.
"Report to the general, the Liaodong thief Su Puyan, the Liaoxi thief Qiu Liju, the Youbeiping thief Shou Wuyan led 50,000 troops to Tuhe..."
"What--"
The generals were shocked and looked at Gongsun Zan, whose face changed drastically. At this time, Gongsun Zan was extremely calm.
"Tian Yu!"
Tian Yu didn't even think about it, so he stepped forward and clasped his fists.
"The last one will be here!"
"Teach one hundred chariots and escort the back, and I will take you five hundred cavalry, and then draw three thousand young and strong people from the Han people. Be sure to stop the thieves!"
Tian Yu clasped his fists heavily.
"promise!"
Gongsun Zan hesitated to look at Liu He, and the next moment he turned to Guan Jing.
"Shiqi, you and Chief Liu immediately organized the people to retreat to Guanzi City. The bandits were behind our army, and our army had no way out. At this moment, we can only temporarily avoid the bandits and retreat into Guanzi City and wait for the court to rescue. Food and supplies must not be abandoned..."
Before Gongsun Zan finished speaking, Zhang Fei spoke a little dissatisfied.
"The thief is behind us and our army will just kill him. If he hides in the city, wouldn't he stretch his neck and let someone cut him down?"
"Yide shut up!"
Zhang Fei was dissatisfied with Gongsun Zan, and Liu Bei was shocked and grabbed Zhang Fei and scolded him.
"Our army is three thousand cavalrymen, and there are hundreds of armored chariots in the army. It is not difficult for the elder brother to break through the bandit army, but how can we escape with more than ten thousand people?"
After Liu Bei scolded Zhang Fei for a few words, he turned around and clasped his fists deeply at Gongsun Zan, who was angry with cold faces.
"Yider is reckless, brother, don't blame me!"
...
"Brother, don't plead with him..."
"Third brother!"
Seeing Gongsun Zan being angry, Liu Bei bowed his body with his fists. Zhang Fei was furious when he saw his brother being humiliated and was about to come forward. Guan Yu was afraid that he would say something to anger others. He hurriedly hugged the person tightly. Just when Zhang Fei was still furious and was about to throw Guan Yu away, just when Liu Bei was about to scold him again, Sun Jian, who had been silent for several months, suddenly stood up.
"General Gongsun also knew General Zhang's temperament, and did not intend to provoke the general's majesty, but was just when the thief was in front of him..."
"What General Zhang, an unknown young man dares to use the word "General". If the lord is not magnanimous, a lord dares to be arrogant in front of the lord?"
A young general behind Yan Gang suddenly snorted coldly, and a large group of Youzhou generals were a little dissatisfied.
"You pickled..."
"Yide shut up--"
Liu Bei suddenly became furious and pointed at Zhang Fei and was furious.
"You guy dare to talk nonsense anymore, I...I..."
Liu He suddenly stepped forward and persuaded him again.
"General Gongsun, as General Sun said, don't have another dispute before the war, and defeat the thieves first."
...
"snort!"
After a while, Gongsun Zan snorted heavily, and he became even more angry with Liu, Guan and Zhang, but at this time he had to give Liu He a face, and the man turned to look at Sun Jian.
"General Sun is brave in front of the formation, and can lead thousands of cavalry to protect General Tian."
Seeing Gongsun Zan speak, Liu He and Liu Bei breathed no reason, and Sun Jian also held his fists solemnly.
"promise!"
After Sun Jian suffered a blow, he became much more cautious. In addition to fighting and fighting for the vanguard, he had not spoken much for several months. Listening to his promise, Gongsun Zan nodded with satisfaction, but he still glanced at Liu, Guan and Zhang and the other two angrily, and then looked at everyone again.
"It is not difficult for our army to leave, but our army cannot easily abandon the people!"
"snort!"
He looked at Zhang Fei who always challenged his majesty again, snorted coldly, and walked towards his black war horse. When others saw this, they also left one after another. Even Sun Jian only glanced at Liu Guanzhang, but in the end he didn't say anything, and there were only three people left in the field...
"snort!"
"After this battle, if my brother doesn't leave, Yide will leave!"
"snort!"
Zhang Fei's anger kept rolling, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu all smiled bitterly after looking at each other.
"Third brother, you should calm your temper..."
"What's wrong? It's amazing that Yide returned home and paid back the guy's money!"
Zhang Fei was really angry. Seeing that Liu Bei was like this, he had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder twice.
"You and my brothers live and die together. If the third brother doesn't want to, you and my brothers will return to their hometown and have fun..."
"Ha ha……"
After hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhang Fei grinned and hit the depressed Guan Yu's chest.
"Let's just say that the elder brother is the most loyal!"
"Ha ha……"
Zhang Fei laughed loudly, Liu Bei and Guan Yu all shook their heads and smiled bitterly, but now that things are at this point, they are helpless, but no matter what, the three brothers will all end this war.
A large number of enemy troops came, and more than ten thousand Han people were rescued were panicked. What's more, many people wanted to give up everything and escape, but they were driven back by soldiers with whips. Liu He and Guan Jing kept kicking horses and shouting...
"No trouble..."
“No chaos…”
"Only everyone can survive if they get together..."
...
After Liu He and Guan Jing couldn't help but cheer and nearly a thousand cavalry wandered around and greeted him, the panicked people calmed down a little, dragged food trucks and drove countless cattle and sheep to the nearest Guanzi City. Several miles behind them, Tian Yu led a hundred armored vehicles to confront countless Wuwan people.
Gongsun Zan's chariot was different from the chariots of the court. They were real iron armored chariots, somewhat similar to the siege chariots wrapped in iron. It was precisely because of the help of these chariots that Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju and others were defeated and retreated all the way.
Seeing Tian Yu take out another hundred iron armored vehicles, the Wuwan people who were all over the mountains suddenly stopped, Qiu Liju was observing, and Wu Yan, who was frowning on the side...
"If we don't destroy these armored vehicles, we may not be able to do anything to Gongsun's son."
Qiu Liju did not answer Wu Yan's words, but looked at Su Puyan, the master of Wuwan tribes in Liaodong.
"Su Puyan, what do you think?"
Su Puyan raised his whip and pointed at the hundreds of chariots that were slowly retreating, with a smile on his face.
"They are retreating!"
"Qiu Liju, Wuyan, where do you think they will retreat?"
Although there were many people in front of them, there were even iron armored chariots that caused them to suffer some losses, most of them were infantry, and they could tell at a glance that they were recruited temporarily. None of these matters was that everyone was slowly retreating.
Qiu Liju nodded and smiled, "Yes, they want to retreat, so let's let them retreat. If we hide in the city, we block the city gate and starve them all to death!"
Wu Yan glanced at the two of them and smiled, "Since you have decided, we just need to trap them."
Although the area of Liaodong and western Liaoning are very different from Liangzhou, the terrain of the main road at the entrance of the pass is similar. One is to walk on the Wei River Road and the other is to enter the Shanhaiguan area. Tens of thousands of Wuhuan people appeared behind Gongsun Zan and his men, which is equivalent to the Wuhuan people blocking the entrance and exit of Shanhaiguan. Three thousand Han soldiers and more than ten thousand Han people were actually blocked in the hearts of Wuhuan people, and Wuhuan people were everywhere. Once Gongsun Zan chose to hide in Guanzi City, the final result can be imagined.
When Qiu Liju, Su Puyan, Wuyan and others saw that Gongsun Zan wanted to hide in the city instead of fighting with them, the tens of thousands of Wuhuan people were not in a hurry, and followed behind and allowed 10,000 or 20,000 people to hide in a small city.
Gongsun Zan and others hid in the city, completely put themselves in the dead, and became everyone's nightmare. Countless Wuhuan people stepped forward with simple wooden boards. Gongsun Zan and others thought that Wuhuan people were going to attack the city, so they were ready at the top of the city. However, they did not expect that they were not sieging the city at all, but digging soil outside the city gates to block the city and digging the road. The iron-armored chariots could not rush out. The Han soldiers came out and greeted them with bows and arrows. For several days, even Gongsun Zan led his people to rush to kill several formations, but in the end they were blocked by countless arrows.
Unable to rush out, Qiu Liju came forward to surrender himself, Gongsun Zan cursed and refused, and the two sides confronted each other again. Every day, either Sun Jian left the city to fight, or Liu Guanzhang and Gongsun Zan's generals called for battle. However, after the Wuwan people suffered several losses, they ignored them at all. Who dared to run out? Countless Wuwan people came forward and shot in a mess. In the end, everyone had no choice. Except for every day Zhang Fei stood at the top of the city and pointed at the Wuwan people's central tent and scolded cowards, the rest of the people had no temper even to curse.
A month passed in a blink of an eye...
“What to do now—”
Zhang Fei was furious, but he could only be furious outside the hall. Not to mention Zhang Fei, even Liu Bei! Gongsun Zan didn't let him step into the conference hall. Zhang Fei was furious, Liu Bei looked bitter, and Guan Yu said nothing with a cold face.
"what to do--"
Zhang Fei roared again, and Liu Bei spoke helplessly.
"We can't kill them, so we can only stand by and wait for the court's rescue..."
"Brother! It's been a month since then! If the imperial court comes to save us, even if we climb, we should have climbed over, right?" Zhang Fei opened his eyes angrily.
Guan Yu sighed, "The third brother wouldn't let the eldest brother surrender to the thieves outside the city, right? If you don't surrender, what else can we do except continue to wait for the court to rescue you?"
Zhang Fei stomped his feet.
"Or... the three of us brothers will go out at night. Only the three of us brothers will not pay too much attention to the thief!"
Liu Bei frowned, thought for a while, but shook his head and refused, "The people have not yet escaped, how can you and my brothers escape in the battle? Third brother shouldn't say such words."
Both Liu Bei and Guan Yu were opposed, and Zhang Fei had to give up in the end, but they didn't know that if it was under another wheel, they would have to hold on in the city for nearly a year, even the leather armor would be eaten. Ten or twenty thousand people would survive in the end less than 10%...
