Three Kingdoms King of the North

As soon as Yan Gang's men and horses got off the bridge, a row of crossbow arrows flew towards him, shooting him down from left to right.Seeing that the situation was not good, Yan Gang turned his horse's head and prepared to run back, but at this moment the cavalry on the bridge was crowded into a lump, and it was difficult to turn around, let alone give Yan Gang an escape route.

Seeing this situation, Yan Gang was very annoyed. Just as he was considering whether he should jump into the Pan River and flee back to the east bank, he heard a loud roar from behind: "Where does Yan Gang escape? Take your life!"

He turned his head and saw Qu Yi, who had fought against him before, holding a big knife in his forehand, jumping over the corpses on the ground on foot, and rushing towards him.Although Yan Gang's martial arts were not as good as the opponent's, but he bullied the opponent without riding a horse, he rushed over decisively, trying to kill Qu Yi with a single blow, in order to reverse the unfavorable situation.

Seeing Qu Yi rushing in front of him, Yan Gang clenched the big knife in his hand, and slashed down with all his strength.But Qu Yi dodged to the side calmly, dodging Yan Gang's knife with all his strength.He leveled the big knife in his hand and swept it towards Yan Gang's mount. With a click, the two front legs of the horse were cut off by his big knife, and Yan Gang fell off the horse's back due to the huge inertia .

Taking advantage of Yan Gang being thrown to the ground, Qu Yi stepped forward without losing the opportunity, and slashed him on the back with a knife.Because of the excessive force, he almost chopped Gongsun Zan's general into two pieces.

Seeing the death of the commander in chief, the Gongsun Zan cavalry who were still huddled on the bridge suddenly yelled, "General Yan died in battle, General Yan died in battle!"

Seeing that Gongsun Zan's cavalry had fallen into chaos, Qu Yi swung the broadsword in his hand forward and shouted, "Kill!"

Qu Yi's subordinates, who had been eager to try for a long time, cheered excitedly when they saw that their coach had easily killed the opponent's general with a single blow.After hearing Qu Yi's order, he rushed forward with shouts, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the cavalry crowded on the bridge.

Facing Yuan Jun who was rushing over, the cavalry huddled together were unwilling to sit still and waited for death. They quickly waved the weapons in their hands, slashing left and right desperately.But they were quickly dismounted by Yuan Jun's spears, and were even picked up into the air by several spears at the same time.In the assassination of the pikemen and the shooting of the crossbowmen, the cavalry fell in pieces, and their blood flowed along the bridge deck of the stone bridge into the raging Pan River, staining the river red.

The cavalry on the east bank saw that the main general was killed in battle, they did not dare to fight, turned their horses and fled in the direction they had come.When Qu Yi's soldiers killed all the cavalry on the bridge, when they came to the east bank, they could only see the dust raised by the cavalry when they fled.Qu Yi knew that his infantry could not catch up with four with two legs, so he decisively gave an order to stop the pursuit, and led the troops back to Qiaoxi, retreating towards Guangzong City.

Half an hour later, Gongsun Zan returned to the Pan River with his army.After seeing the tragic situation on the battlefield, he couldn't help being taken aback. The number of casualties added up to this time has not been as many as those who died by the Pan River.The corpses covered with crossbow arrows by the river were stacked on top of each other, the blood flowing out was in puddles, and the smell of blood was so strong that it was enough to suffocate.

Liu Bei urged his horse to come to Gongsun Zan's side, and said to him in a low voice, "Brother, failure is a common thing in military affairs. Let's set up camp first, and then collect these corpses. We will ask Qu Yi to pay back the blood debt in the future."

Gongsun Zan nodded after hearing this, and told Tian Kai: "Be sure to find General Yan's body!"

At the same time, Yuan Shao received good news from Qu Yi.

After he read it, he handed over the battle report to Fengji, Jushou and others, and at the same time said dubiously, "Tell me, is Qu Yi's battle report true or false? Three thousand infantry blocked Gongsun Zan's thirty thousand cavalry, not only Yan Gang beheaded General Yan Gang, and also wiped out seven thousand cavalry."

"My lord," Feng Ji quickly stood up and replied after reading the battle report, "Ji thinks that Qu Yi lied about the military situation. , it would be nice to have a tie, how could such a result be achieved?"

"Yuan Tu's words are wrong," just after Feng Ji's words, Tian Feng stood up and retorted: "Qu Yi is a fierce general who is used to fighting in Jizhou. He can defeat Gongsun Zan's cavalry. Feng feels that this matter Totally believable."

Feng Ji squinted at Tian Feng, and asked eccentrically, "Yuan Hao, why do you think that Qu Yi can defeat Gongsun Zan's [-] cavalry with [-]?"

"Qi Yi rebelled at the beginning of the year," Tian Feng was provoked by Feng Ji, and said with some indiscriminate words: "Han Jizhou personally led an army of [-] to crusade, but was defeated by the opponent's [-] soldiers. Since he was able to If you defeated [-] soldiers and horses, why is it so strange to defeat [-] soldiers and horses today?"

Hearing that Tian Feng actually mentioned Han Fu, Yuan Shao showed a trace of anger on his face, but Tian Feng, who was not aware of it, continued: "If Han Jizhou had entrusted Qu Yi with a heavy responsibility, Gongsun Zan probably would not have dared to give it up. Soldiers going south"

"Enough," Yuan Shao heard this, and slammed his fist on the table in front of him, stopping Tian Feng from continuing: "I just asked whether Qu Yi's battle report was credible, but you gave me Why is Han Fu not good at employing people? Gong Yu," he turned his gaze to Ju Shou, whom he trusted more, and asked, "Tell me your opinion."

"Responding to my lord," Ju Shou said cautiously, "I believe that General Quyi's battle report is completely credible. Therefore, Jizhou is only a few dozen miles away from the boundary bridge. As long as we send out scouts, it only takes one or two hours. Find out the actual situation on the battlefield, if he panics, there is no way to get it back."

After listening to Jushou's analysis, Yuan Shao finally showed a smug smile on his face: "This Qu Yi is really not simple, he defeated Gongsun Zan so easily. Where is Yan Liang!"

Following his shout, Yan Liang quickly stood up from the queue, "The end is here!"

Yuan Shao picked up a command arrow from the box: "I order you to lead three thousand elite soldiers and rush to Jieqiao as quickly as possible!"

Yan Liang stepped forward to take the command arrow, "The last general takes orders!"

After Yan Liang retreated, Yuan Shaochong looked left and right, and then said, "This general intends to lead the army to Jieqiao in person, and fight Gongsun Zan to a showdown. I don't know who is willing to go together?"

"My lord!" As soon as Yuan Shao's words fell, Feng Ji and Shen Pei came out, "Subordinates are willing to go together!"

Seeing Jushou, Tian Feng and others standing in the same place without moving, Yuan Shao frowned and said displeasedly: "Gongyu, Yuanhao, don't you two want to go to Jieqiao with this general?"

"Report to my lord." Seeing that Yuan Shao had a sign of anger, Ju Shou hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "There is an army of [-] young children from the Han family in Guangping City to the south. If the lord leads his troops to Jieqiao, Jizhou City will become empty. If he takes the opportunity to attack, the city will be hard to protect."

Regarding what Jushou was worried about, Yuan Shao said disapprovingly after hearing it: "You are too worried. I have ordered Zhang Yun to lead the army to attack Guangping City. The Han family is too busy to take care of itself. How can I deploy troops to attack Jizhou?"

Hearing that Yuan Shao was not worried about the fall of Jizhou City, Ju Shou couldn't persuade him anymore, so he could only follow his will and said, "In that case, I would like to go to Jieqiao with my lord, and fight Gongsun Zan for a decisive battle!"

Seeing that Yuan Shao's counselors were going to march with him, Tian Feng hurriedly stood up from the queue, wanting to express his opinion to Yuan Shao.Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao waved his hand at him: "Yuan Hao, I will leave you eight hundred soldiers from the county to maintain order in the city, so as not to cause any trouble."

An hour later, the [-] elite soldiers led by Yan Liang set off towards Jieqiao.

An hour later, Yuan Shao led Jushou, Fengji, Shenpei and others, commanding [-] soldiers and horses, and marched in the direction of Jieqiao.

The spies sent by Han Zhan to the city of Jizhou were overjoyed when they knew that there were only [-] soldiers guarding the city.After waiting for the army to leave, he sneaked out of the city from the west direction of the city, and then went straight to Guangping City to report the news.

Chapter 0113 Jizhou City Empty

The spy's name is Jiang Jack, who was originally a corps leader in Wu'an City. Xun You once saw him in the army and thought he was quite clever and a talented spy, so he sent him to lead a few people into the city of Jizhou to collect intelligence. .When Gengwu Minchun was arrested and the officials close to the Han family were killed by Yuan Shao, he sent someone to send the information.

Today, since he has no one to send, he can only go out in person.Since there were no horses, he hurried all the way, and when he arrived at Quang Binh City, it was already late and the city gate was closed.

Seeing that the city gate was closed, Jiang Jackal stomped his feet anxiously.Just as he was hesitating whether to call the city gate open, or find a nearby village to stay overnight and order someone to report to the city again, a loud voice came from the city: "Who is under the city?"

Hearing the question from above, Jiang Jackal looked up and saw a few soldiers leaning out from the gap in the battlements and looking down.Although the city was illuminated by torches, Jiang Jackal couldn't see the opponent's face clearly.Before finding out the identity of the other party, Jiang Jackal would definitely not reveal his identity casually, but said perfunctorily: "I am a clerk in the pharmacy in the city, and I was ordered by my boss to deliver medicine outside the city, but I came back late .A few military lords, please let me let the little ones enter the city!"

When the people on the tower waited for him to finish speaking, the voice just now asked again: "Which pharmacy are you from?"

Jiang Jackal had never been in Guangping City, so he didn't know any medicine shops in the city, and he was immediately stopped by the question.

Seeing that Jiang Jackal was speechless, the people on the tower felt that his identity was even more suspicious, and hurriedly told the left and right: "Prepare the bow and arrow!"

When Jiang Jack heard the voice from above, he was taken aback immediately, thinking that if I was shot to death by my own people, it would be too wronged.He quickly raised his head and waved his hands desperately towards the top, and said loudly: "Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows! I am a spy sent by Shaofu Xun to Jizhou, and I have an urgent military situation to report to Lord Hou."

"You say you are a spy under the Xun Shaofu, what proof do you have?"

"Yes, yes, there is a waist card to prove it!" Jiang Jie quickly took out the waist card he kept carefully from his arms, and held it up high, "If you don't believe it, you can put a hanging basket down and take it up Check carefully."

After a while, a small basket was hung from above.Jiang Jackal carefully put the badge into the basket, and then shouted towards it: "Okay, you guys pull it up."

The person who talked to Jiang Jackal on the tower was Zhao Yun. After the basket was pulled up, he picked up the waist card inside, and with the help of the torchlight, he saw clearly that there was a word "Spy" written on it, and behind it were two representatives ID number.

After confirming the other party's identity, Zhao Yun ordered the soldiers beside him: "Open the city gate and let him in!"

Zhao Yun stood at the gate of the city and waited for Jiang Jackal to come over, then returned the badge to him, and at the same time revealed his identity: "I am General Zhao Yun, you rushed back overnight, is there anything urgent?"

Hearing that the person in front of him was General Pi, Jiang Jack quickly knelt down on one knee and reported, "General Qi, the villain found out that Yuan Shao led the army to Jieqiao, and there were only [-] soldiers left in Jizhou City, so I reported back overnight. "

"What, what did you say?" Zhao Yun was taken aback by the news. He grabbed Jiang Jack by the arm, lifted him from the ground, and asked nervously, "What did you just say? There are only [-] people in Jizhou City now. County guards?"

"Yes, absolutely."

"Great, this is really great." Zhao Yun said, and asked his subordinates to lead a horse for Jiang Jack, and rode with him to the prefect's mansion to report the shocking news to Han Zhan.

When Han Zhan heard the news of the emptiness in Jizhou City, he was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Jiang Jackal, is it true that there are only [-] soldiers guarding Jizhou City?"

"Return to Lord Marquis," Jiang Jackal quickly replied, "Yuan Shao has already led the army to Jieqiao, and there are only [-] soldiers left in the city, which is equivalent to an empty city."

Although Jiang Jackal spoke casually, Han Zhan didn't care at all. He continued to ask, "Do you know who is receiving Jizhou after Yuan Shao left?"

"It's Master Jizhou Biejiatian Toyota!"

After confirming that Jiang Jackal's news was accurate, Han Zhan ordered Rob to take him down to rest, and then called his subordinate Wu to discuss how to seize Jizhou.
