Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 232 The Battle of Baoqiu ([-])

Not long after Gongsun Zan sent troops to Yuyang, Liu He also got the news. He knew that the opponent was powerful, so he didn't dare to take it lightly. The county dispatched them urgently, and the two sides gathered [-] troops to march to Yuyang. On the one hand, they wanted to rescue Xu Huang in Yuyang, and on the other hand, they wanted to concentrate their forces to fight the enemy at Yuyang city.

Not only Gongsun Zan wants a decisive battle, but Liu He also thinks so. His own food and grass are not particularly sufficient. If he delays for a long time, it will be very unfavorable to him. , take You Beiping, first kill Gongsun Zan, and cut off the core of this alliance.

Among Liu He's 1-strong army, Zhang Yan and Li Ping led an army of [-] as the vanguard, with Zhang Yan as the chief general and Li Ping as the deputy general. After practice, Liu He discovered that if there were both a chief general and a deputy general in the army, As long as the system does not explicitly stipulate that they cannot be superimposed, the skills of the general and deputy general can be used at the same time. For example, this [-]-person vanguard battalion, with Zhang Yan as the main general and Li Ping as the deputy general, can not only exert Zhang Yanfeiyan's The skill effect can also exert the effect of Li Ping's advancement.

During the march, this vanguard battalion opened roads through mountains and built bridges when encountering water. Soon they arrived at a place only twenty miles away from Yuyang City, and set up camp here. On the one hand, they ordered people to inquire about Gongsun Zan's army. On the other hand, they waited for the arrival of Liu He's main army.

At the same time Zhang Yan ordered people to inquire about the news of Gongsun Zan's army, Gongsun Zan's army also ordered people to inquire about the news of his vanguard battalion. At this time, Gongsun Zan urgently summoned Gongsun Kang and Murong Yu and proposed to them , Concentrate forces to attack Zhang Yan's camp first, wipe out this vanguard camp, and set back the spirit of Liu He's army.

However, I didn't expect Gongsun Kang to disagree with this point. It's not because Gongsun Kang thought it was a bad idea. It's just that Gongsun Kang wanted to compete with Gongsun Zan for the position of leader and wanted to establish his own authority, so he insisted on his original opinion. , ready to have an upright decisive battle with Liu He.

Of course, Gongsun Zan slandered Gongsun Kang's opinion, and even secretly scolded Gongsun Kang as an idiot in his heart. If they were to camp, they would lose even worse. If they really dared to do so, they would definitely receive desperate reinforcements from Xu Huang and Liu He. With the abilities of Zhang Yan and Li Ping, even though they only had 1 people, they were enough to persevere When Liu He and Xu Huang's army arrived, at that time the 9-strong army would attack from the back, and Gongsun Zan's allied forces would suffer heavy losses. Even if the [-]-strong army was completely defeated, it would not be impossible.

Although he secretly resented that Gongsun Kang did not use his own strategy, Gongsun Zan had no choice. After all, he was still counting on Gongsun Kang to help him fight against Liu He, so he did not act rashly and waited until Liu He's army arrived two days later.

After Liu He's army arrived, Gongsun Zan ordered someone to send a letter of war to Liu He, proposing that the two sides should fight a decisive battle in the open area by the Baoqiu water, and the outcome would be determined by this battle.

Gongsun Zan quickly received Liu He's approval, and three days later at noon, the two sides fought decisively at Baoqiu.

"Haha, I didn't expect Liu and this little thief to actually agree. He wouldn't go crazy enough to think that he could defeat my [-] army with less than [-] troops under his command? If that's the case, I, Gongsun Zan, would not What face do you have to live in this world? Since you despise me so much, let you bear the price of despising me."

Gongsun Zan let out a long laugh, and then ordered the soldiers of the three armies to recharge their batteries and fight to the death with Liu He's army at the bank of Baoqiu at noon three days later.

All of a sudden, there were constant cheers in the army, especially the soldiers under Gongsun Zan's command. Everyone believed that Liu He would be defeated in this battle, and that his side would definitely crush the opponent with absolute superiority, defeat Liu He's main force in one fell swoop, and pursue the victory , regained the lost ground, and even dominated Youzhou and aspired to the top of the world.

However, at this time, a young scholar in Gongsun Kang's camp shook his head and said, "Young master, the blind optimism in the army is too strong now, which is not a good thing. This Liu He has fought many times in his life and has never lost a single battle." , Now that he has agreed to our request for a decisive battle, it means that he must be prepared. Therefore, I believe that the victory or defeat of this battle is still five or five, and even our army will lose more than win. Therefore, I believe Remind the young master, once I am defeated, don't hesitate, and immediately lead the army back to Liaodong, Liaodong is two thousand miles away from here, and with Liaoxi Xianbei as our barrier, we don't have to worry about safety at all."

Gongsun Kang thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said: "Sir, what you said makes sense. Please rest assured, if there is any danger, we will not try our best for Gongsun Zan. Once things go wrong, I will Lead the army to retreat. Of course, if there is an advantage in this battle, I will not refuse it. This is a good opportunity for our Liaodong Army to make a fortune."

Of course, Murong Yu didn't know about the conversation between Gongsun Kang and that young man, but this time he lost a lot of soldiers under his command, and he didn't want to be the first bird, he just wanted to take advantage of Gongsun Zan or Gongsun Kang's army. If the battle goes well, then naturally nothing needs to be said. Once there are unfavorable factors in the battle situation, then immediately lead the army to retreat. Anyway, Xianbei's base camp is far outside the Great Wall. At worst, they will withdraw from Liaoxi and return to their homeland. But if there are no people, then But there was nothing.

Naturally, Gongsun Zan didn't know the evil intentions of Gongsun Kang and Murong Yu. He was now dreaming of defeating Liu He, regaining "lost ground", dominating Hebei, and even aspiring to win the Central Plains. He felt that there was almost no possibility of losing in this battle. That being the case, of course I have to go all out in this battle without reservation.

Three days later, just after noon, all the armies from both sides came to the battlefield. After finishing the formation, Gongsun Zan came to the front of the formation and said with a big smile to Liu He, "Liu and the little thief, last time I was unprepared and was attacked from behind by you." , occupying several counties in Guangyang and Yuyang, but today is different. Haven’t you seen that I have millions of soldiers and thousands of generals? If you don’t want to die, obediently dismount and surrender, and take over the territory and people under your rule Give it all to me, maybe you can survive for a few more years, otherwise, next year today will be your death day."

Liu He said with a sneer: "Are we coming to a decisive battle or a scolding battle today? Old man Gongsun, you may not be my opponent in a scolding battle, but you won't be able to learn from it today, so stop talking nonsense, you want to fight , let’s fight, let’s start!”

"In this case, I won't be polite anymore. Pass my order, beat the drums, and kill all the soldiers of the three armies!" Gongsun Zan held the two-edged spear and swung forward, and saw the shouts of killing shaking the heaven and the earth. The army of ten thousand rushed towards Liu He's army like a tide.
