Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 393 Unwilling

The same thing made calls from inside and outside Fenggao city.

However, one is cheering, while the other is full of despair.

If the soldiers and civilians in the city were pleasantly surprised and a little dignified, then there is only one word to describe the Jizhou military camp at this moment.

Gloomy cloud.

As early as one day ago, Yuan Tan and the generals were still smug, imagining that Fenggao's door would be opened in as short as three days, as long as five days, and they would step in and become the new masters of this city majestically.

Even in the morning, Guo Tu had already started to think about the plan for the next war against the map of Mount Tai. It can be said that he had a long-term vision.

And now.
The bad news is sent back one after another!
First, I received the news that the Xuzhou Army's ambushes attacked the village, and after the army rushed to the rescue, I got the bad news that "the whole mountain was burned, and all the food was burned"!
In contrast, the nearly [-] defenders of Tuqiu Mountain were completely wiped out, and the news that Xin Pi suspected that Gao Lan and many soldiers had surrendered after searching for traces was insignificant.

In normal times, such a loss, or even the defection of a famous general in Hebei, even Yuan Shao, who has a big family and a great career, would be heartbroken by it. Yuan Tan even wrote a letter to his father himself to plead guilty.

But now Yuan Tan has no mind to care about this matter.

Whether it's him, Guo Tu, Xin Pi, or all the generals, they only care about one thing now!
How much food do they have left!

Facing the bloodshot eyes around him, the quartermaster was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak for a long time, and it took him a while to give a reply trembling.

At present, if the food and grass in the camp are used normally, it can last for ten days at most. If the daily supply is reduced, it can last for another five days.

There is a prerequisite for the latter sentence, that is, it can only be used during normal marching, and it is absolutely impossible to use it during war!

Especially now that the Jizhou army is attacking Fenggao, just kidding, it's a tough battle!
If you don't give extra meals to the soldiers, you dare to reduce them?
Yuan Tan believed that once this kind of military order was issued, there would be mutinies!

What's more, it's like this, and it's only half a month.
Even if they immediately pull out the camp and return to Linzi tomorrow, it will take about ten days. But now not only has Feng Gao not broken, but there is also an unknown number of Xuzhou troops lurking nearby. Once they are harassed by these people along the way during the retreat, the time required may be will be longer!
And the most crucial point!
Before the army set off, Yuan Tan had already plundered all the food stores in Linzi and nearby counties and counties. If he wanted to get supplies for these tens of thousands of people, where would he find them?
Of course, these are all things for later, and whether to fight or retreat is still undecided.

Thinking of this, countless eyes in the tent all focused on Yuan Tan in an instant. Although they had an idea in their hearts at this time, it was about the future of the [-] army and the strategy of going south to Mount Tai, and no one dared to speak rashly.

Everyone is waiting for this high-spirited young general to make a decision!
At this time, Yuan Tan's once tough and resolute face was full of shock, anger and bewilderment.

Yuan Tan felt those sights with complicated meanings, and it was very clear that these people were urging him to make a decision quickly!
After all, whether it is for them, or for Yuan Tan, for the Jizhou Army, time is very precious today and cannot be wasted!

But Yuan Tan didn't know what to do!

It has been nearly ten years since Yuan Shao led the Jizhou Shepherd, and Yuan Tan has been on the expedition with his father.

This period is the stage when Yuan Shao's strength leaps forward, and it also allows Yuan Tan to see the most attractive side of war for men!
Victory, singing, glory, conquest, that is my own
Death, humiliation, screams, conquered, that's the enemy's
Even since he first led an army to advance to Qingzhou alone, it has been the same, without exception.

Tian Kai, who had been an enemy of his father for many years, was finally defeated by him!
It was Yuan Tan who personally lit the first fire to completely burn Gongsun Zan's loyal dog to death!

Linzi, the five capitals of the Han Dynasty, also surrendered under his iron cavalry!
Compared with Wang Zheng a year ago, this time Yuan Tan has no allies, fewer troops, and even shorter time!
Even Feng Gaoben was exposed by his own eyes!

The southern city wall has already been completely pierced. With such a huge advantage in front of us, it can be said that there is only one step away from a complete victory, but unfortunately.
Just when this victory seemed to be within easy reach, God damn God made a huge joke on himself!

How could a Xuzhou army break into the rear without a sound?

Xuzhou Army.
The royal army.
Yuan Tan's heart was filled with anger and dissatisfaction when he thought of this opponent, whom his father had repeatedly compared with his family in the past two years, and now ruined his good deeds.

This is not the time to think about these things, Yuan Tan tried his best to dispel the distracting thoughts in his mind, and turned his mind to the main business.

To fight, or to retreat?

The food in the barracks is currently in short supply, but if Feng Gao is defeated, it is actually enough. After all, the original Feng Gao, whether it is the city or the people, has been pushed to the limit by his army, and then it may collapse completely!
But doing so is undoubtedly a certain risk. If the food is used up and Fenggao City has not been taken, and the food from the rear is not delivered in time, the result will be...
The Jizhou army may be wiped out all the way!

Including the already damaged troops, this is a 5000-strong Jizhou Army!
Even if Yuan Shao has now captured all the land in Hebei, if such a force is completely buried in Mount Tai, it will be a real injury and a great loss of vitality!

It even affected the entire layout of the Yuan family.

Such a consequence, not to mention bearing it, just thinking about it makes Yuan Tan shudder and shudder.

If you quit the army
Make a decisive decision and set up camp tomorrow. The food in hand is enough to support them to return to Linzi, but the plan to attack Fenggao City this time will be completely bankrupt. Going down to Beihai, the next step is to march into Qijun!
The opponent was originally from Qingzhou, and he had attacked Linzi once again, so he knew the basics and knew the basics, and he was familiar with it. Even at that time, he was a famous teacher, and he could use the power of the entire Xuzhou.
At that time, can a city of Linzi be able to defend against such an attack?
What Yuan Tan is most afraid of at this time is that if he retreats, not only will he not win Feng Gao, but even all the results of the current battle will be in vain!
Moreover, Yuan Tan was really not reconciled to withdrawing like this.

This was his first confrontation with Wang Zheng, and Yuan Tan didn't want to lose, let alone admit defeat!
After several choices, the idea of ​​giving it a go gained the upper hand in Yuan Tan's mind. After all the generals approached with a cup of tea, Yuan Tan finally made up his mind.

He suddenly jumped up, and his voice became a little hoarse under the excitement, but the determination and firmness in his tone moved everyone.

"Pass down the general order, the army will continue to attack the city!"

"Major general can't do it!"

Hearing this, the others hadn't spoken yet, but Guo Tu and Xin Pi uttered in unison: "This is too risky!"

"This will not be finished yet!"

But Yuan Tan interrupted the two of them with a wave of his hand, looking at the crowd, with a gloomy and terrifying face, after a while, he continued: "Talk to the whole army, if you don't break Feng Gao within three days."

The remaining food is probably enough for the army to withdraw to Linzi.

The son of the Yuan family thought, after all, some more soldiers would die in the next three days, and there might be a little surplus of food.

After all, he didn't dare to gamble Yuan Shao's great cause, and even the future of the Yuan family because of a little heart.

After all, the lack of food and grass is only an internal crisis. The key is that there is still an unknown number of Xuzhou ambushes watching outside, which has changed the current situation in Fenggao to some extent.

You must know that Tuqiu Mountain was chosen by Yuan Tan himself, and he naturally knows the shape and location of the mountain very well. Even if Gao Lan's wounded army is replaced, they can completely break through in just one day, and the enemy's strength will never be small. !

Yuan Tan's last sentence also made Guo Tu and Xin Pi look at each other for a while, and finally fell silent at the same time.

Three days, this is a relatively reasonable number, and it also means that Yuan Tan has not lost his mind and made a decision that is not radical, but also not conservative.

As for the other generals, their eyes immediately became eager.

To be honest, whoever is a general does not want to expand the territory, let alone to this point, they are not willing to retreat like this, let alone from the point of view of the generals, after such a long attack and defense, the defense of Fenggao City has already been exhausted. It is crumbling.

As long as they spared no expense, it is absolutely possible to blast away the unsightly city walls, gates and defenders on the opposite side within three days.

Until the Jade Rabbit took off, the Jizhou Army outside Fenggao City showed no signs of withdrawing their camp.

This is already an extremely obvious signal!
Chang Xi also immediately understood Yuan Tan's choice. After all, with the current situation of the Tianjun, they simply had no ability to go out of the city to pursue them.In other words, Jizhou people don't need to worry about the pursuit of the defenders in the city, let alone avoid their eyes and ears, or even evacuate overnight.

That is to say, these northern barbarians have no plans to withdraw!

Chang Xi doesn't know whether Yuan Tan intends to stay alive, or whether he wants to fight one last time, but no matter which one, he will have another headache next time.

That night, neither the Jizhou people nor the Fenggao garrison in the city lived very peacefully.

And not even just them.

After all, the 3000 troops brought by Wang Zheng were also in the game at this time, and since he decided to send aid, Wang Zheng has made two-handed preparations.

Burning the enemy's grain roads only temporarily resolved the danger of Fenggao City, and it was still too early to completely put down the threat of Yuan Jun's troops to his Xuzhou and Mount Tai.

Even after receiving the news from the sentry cavalry, Yuan Tan didn't seem to recognize the reality, and retreated willingly, but continued to attack the city, which caused Wang Zheng a headache.

It's just pretending to be cut off when you reach out. If you don't have enough troops, you don't have enough. His system doesn't have the magic power to turn beans into soldiers. From the beginning, Wang Zheng planned to let Yuan Tan know how to get out of the way first, and then slowly settle the score later.

But look at it now.
Wang Zheng is a little uncertain now. Is it because there is still a lot of food and grass left in Yuan Jun's barracks, or is the determination of the second ancestor of the Yuan family too strong?
Could it be that he wants to play the game of breaking the boat and fighting with his back to the wall?
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng's eyes became a little cold. He had used this move before, and the power of it was naturally clear.

If Yuan Tan really mobilized the whole army in this way, showed off his chariots and horses, and forced to fight to the end at any cost, Wang Zheng couldn't guarantee how long Chang Xi could last.

Can't expect too much!
After a while, Wang Zheng immediately ordered to approach Fenggao City immediately and choose a place to hide nearby!
At the critical moment, he will personally lead the army to attack Yuan Jun's camp from the rear!

Even Wang Zheng had already set his sights on the suspended transparent frame at this time, his eyes flickering sharply.

He is already calculating how many third-tier soldiers he can pile up by squandering all his current experience!

Yuan Tan, if you want to risk your life, I will play with you!

As the county seat of Taishan County, and also one of the four wings that Wang Zheng has just settled, Fenggao City must not be lost!

The next day, under Fenggao city.

After Yuan Tan made the decision to attack for three days at any cost, all the Jizhou Army who still had a certain combat effectiveness were pushed onto the front-line battlefield. Gearing up, his expression became excited.

So when the first ray of dawn was projected to the top of the city, the fight between the two sides entered the main topic.

This time, the turbulent offensive was not only aimed at the gap in the western city wall that was blown away by the catapult, but also filled with Jizhou soldiers on the other walls. Nearly [-] ladders were lined up. Jizhou soldiers and ants attached themselves,

For a moment, the bones became a wall, the corpses became a blanket, the stumps and the defeated head flew together, and the blood and flowers were all in the same color.

The tragic extent of the all-out siege exceeded the imagination of both sides.

As early as a few days ago, the Fenggao garrison had used up the last batch of rolling logs, stones, and arrows in stock. Changxi had no choice but to let the soldiers pour boiling gold juice and water down.

Although this made the city stink to the heavens, the killing effect was not bad. Many Jizhou soldiers were directly peeled off their skin and flesh, and their bodies and faces were covered with blood blisters.

Most of the ordinary soldiers with this kind of injury didn't die on the spot, and they basically lost their combat effectiveness completely, and they would suffer from prolonged illness.

But this means is not enough to scare off the enemy.

More Jizhou soldiers continued to rush towards the city without fear.

Because killing red-eyed humans is the most tyrannical beast in the entire Blue Star!

Although no matter how many groups of people climbed to the top of the city, they would be besieged and killed in an instant, or even forced to fall off the top of the city by guns and spears, but after many days of fierce fighting, the defenders were already close to exhaustion.

Under the crazy attack of the Jizhou people, their bloodshed and casualties also increased rapidly.

As time went by, the four walls, especially the gaps that were blasted open by the catapults, began to be in a complete emergency.

In the end, it was Chang Xi who charged up again with the only remaining soldiers of the Tianzhu Battalion, and the generals arrived.

And when night fell slowly, Chang Xi's expression turned extremely ugly as he stared at the Jizhou Army who was forced to withdraw.

Today's attack is unprecedented, and the damage in the city is also a new high!

There are only the last ten people left in the Tianzhu camp, and most of them have died, and the nearly thousand sons who came with him at the beginning are now out of ten.

Damn, is Yuan Tan crazy!
Looking at the addition of nearly [-] to [-] corpses under the entire Fenggao City, Chang Xi was a little hard to understand. Such an attack would only cause greater damage to the opponent.

But until now, he really doesn't have the spare energy and leisure to care whether Yuan Tan is sick or not.
At this moment, Changxi just wants to seize all the time to count the damage, treat the wounded soldiers, and build the city wall
If it's not dawn after all these things are done, then he can close his eyes for a while.

correct!

I have to send someone to ask Mu Lin again!
Is it really a near miss!

　There was a meeting yesterday, I went home early in the morning, took a shower, had a supper at 2 o'clock, until 6:30 in the morning, I was good, and I had to go to work after washing my face.
