As soon as Gongsun Yue opened his mouth, all the generals in Youzhou extended their thumbs in praise.
"General Yue is indeed very smart. He is worthy of being the great horse of the Gongsun family."
Gongsun Zan was immediately delighted, shaking his head happily and gently stroking the three strands of long beard under his chin.
"In this case, according to Yue Di's words, all the generals can return to their camps and act according to their plan. Early tomorrow morning, they will listen to the orders of the Chinese Army and attack the Huazi Camp on the right flank of the Lin Army together."
Why does Gongsun Zan always rely on Gongsun Yue to tell him something?
Of course, this is because once something goes wrong, he has an excuse to shirk responsibility, thereby maintaining his glorious image of being wise and powerful.
The next morning, the sky was just getting brighter.
The Youzhou Army camp was already filled with people, horses neighing and people roaring.
The armies from all walks of life buried pots and cooked rice one after another, waiting for an order from the Chinese army's general account, and then the whole army marched forward to launch a general attack on Lin's army.
Yan Gang and his general Wang Men each carried a large bowl of broth, squatted at the door of the tent, sucked and drank, and ate happily.
"Wangmen, do you think we can defeat Lin Jun today?"
"Where did the general start with these words? The Governor made it clear yesterday that at the beginning of the general offensive, we were just feinting. If the resistance of the Lin Army is fierce, then we will retreat and slowly grind with them. Anyway, we have something to eat, and they
Hungry all day long. If Lin's army does collapse due to lack of food, then we cannot let go of such a good opportunity. At the very least, we must drive them out of Dai County to preserve our base and slowly seek to capture Youzhou in the future.
"
Yan Gang curled his lips: "It's a beautiful idea, but I'm afraid that what we think is not the same thing there. Don't forget, since Lin Jun entered Youyou, his troops have been divided into two groups. The foot of Sangqian City is only one of them.
, the other group is said to be going all the way east to capture Liaodong. On the front battlefield, we were beaten steadily and lost sight of most areas of Youzhou. If the Lin army from the other group comes over quietly now, I'm afraid we will fall into a trap.
Seeking death."
Wang Men burst out laughing and said: "General, you have committed the habit of being an arrogant person again, and you have to quarrel with anyone. Let's not talk about the fact that Liaodong has been under the control of Gongsun Du and his son for a long time. Is it that easy for Lin Jun?
Take it. Let’s just say that Lin Jun’s reinforcements have really arrived. According to their strength, do they need to accompany us to act here? If they just come with their troops and kill them, I don’t believe that the Governor has the guts to continue fighting with Lin Jun outside the city.”
Yan Gang suddenly raised the big bowl and poured the last mouthful of broth into his mouth. While chewing the meat strips in his mouth, he said vaguely: "You are the only one who talks a lot, who said someone is a gangster?"
?I just want to think a few more steps about something."
When Wang Men heard this, he laughed so hard that he sprayed broth from his nose and almost choked to death outside the tent.
The two of them were laughing so hard that the drum outside Gongsun Zan's tent began to sound.
There is something special about this thing. The commander-in-chief beat the gathering drum. After thirty-six rings, some generals did not show up for no reason.
Then don't blame the military law for being ruthless. According to the law, you must push out the Chinese army's tent and behead your head directly.
Yan Gang and Wang Men didn't care about joking anymore, hurriedly packed up their gear, put on their helmets, mounted their horses, and rushed straight to the Chinese army's tent.
Gongsun Zan counted thirty-six times, and the gathering drum outside the tent happened to stop.
Turning around, all the generals under his command had arrived.
Except for his own son Gongsun Xu, who stayed in Anyang, Guan Jing and Gongsun Fan went on envoys to Bingzhou one after another, and all the other generals lined up on both sides.
"Very good, all the generals must work together today to teach Lin Jun a lesson."
"promise!"
Led by Gongsun Yue, Shan Jing, Yan Gang, Tian Kai, Wang Men, and Zou Dan all clasped their fists and bowed their hands, bowing their heads in agreement.
Subsequently, the Youzhou army pulled out of the camp and divided into three groups to attack Lin Jun's Huazi Camp on the right wing.
At this time, there is only one empty camp left in Huazi Camp.
When Lin Feng sneaked into Anyang, he took away both Liao Hua and Guan Hai, so Huaziying was now managed by Wu Anguo, deputy commander of Chiyanying.
Wu Anguo's personal force is very strong, but he is not very expert in marching and fighting.
Last night, I received a secret order from Guo Jia's people and led his troops to withdraw from the camp overnight, leaving only an empty camp in place.
When Youzhou's forward army entered Lin's right wing camp, Gongsun Zan, who was leading the central army, was overjoyed.
Lin Jun's morale was indeed low, and his resistance was so weak that it seemed that he had not fought. From a distance, it seemed that he was about to collapse at the first touch.
Soon, the pioneer general Tian Kai sent someone to deliver the message.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, Huazi Camp is an empty camp, and there is not a single soldier in the camp."
Gongsun Zan was overjoyed at first. Could it be that Lin's army was so short of food that whole battalions of soldiers began to defect?
Then he realized that he might have fallen into a trap.
"No, please quickly send orders to the three armies. The rear army will become the front army, and the front army will become the rear army. Change direction and return to our camp as soon as possible."
Unfortunately, Gongsun Zan realized it too late, and it was impossible to withdraw in time.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Gunfire was fired from all directions, and Lin's army, which had been ambushed for a long time, rushed out from all directions and surrounded Gongsun Zan tightly.
It turned out that Guo Jia and Zhang He discussed the map for a long time last night, and they both agreed that Gongsun Zan had already been beaten by Lin Jun and was unlikely to have the courage to test the waters by choosing the most difficult to defeat the Red Flame Camp or the Black Mountain Camp.
In this way, Gongsun Zan should attack Huazi Camp with all his strength to take the opportunity to determine the true situation of Lin Jun.
In this case, Guo Jia took advantage of his plan and ordered Huaziying to withdraw from the camp overnight, leaving Gongsun Zan with an empty camp.
At the same time, he ambushed the Black Mountain Camp and the Red Flame Camp near the Kongda Camp, waiting for Gongsun Zan to attack.
After transforming the camp, they fired artillery together as a signal and rushed out in all directions. They surrounded Gongsun Zan's entire army in one fell swoop and tried their best to complete the Youzhou Campaign in one battle.
After Gongsun Zan was surrounded, he was not particularly panicked. Now that he had fully mobilized his main force, there were nearly 30,000 troops, so he was not without the strength to fight.
After half a day of fierce fighting and getting a clear picture of the situation, Gongsun Zan changed his face in shock and became a little panicked.
The east side is guarded by the Guards Camp, the Fallen Camp, and the three battalions of the First Deng Camp. Without improving obedience, the second general Qu Yi is difficult to deal with. Even if Gongsun Zan can break through the siege from this side, he is not willing to attack from the east as the main direction.
, after all, after breaking through the siege, we still have to think of ways to save our lives. If we run eastward, wouldn't we be getting deeper and deeper into Lin Jun's territory, where would there be any way to survive?
The main siege in the south was Huaziying. The reason was the same as above. Although the combat power was slightly weaker, Gongsun Zan was really unwilling to choose to flee south. Could he still run into Jizhou to fight guerrillas?
In the Heishan camp to the north, Yan Liang stood there with his horse riding horizontally. No one in the Youzhou army was willing to touch the tiger's power.
The Red Flame Camp to the west is known as the nemesis of the Youzhou Army. Almost all the generals under Gongsun Zan have been taught a lesson by Zhang He more than once. Now even the leaders of the Youzhou Army know that the ones burned by the Red Flame Army are not ordinary ones.
The fire, it can be said to be the three-fold divine fire that threatens death.
The battle of Sanggan City lasted for five days.
In five days, Gongsun Zan tried every means and thought of every method, but he was unable to get past the threat at all.
The Lin army on all sides surrounded him so tightly that no one even returned to Anyang City to report the news.
In despair, Gongsun Zan still retained a glimmer of hope in his heart.
That was to hope that Gongsun Xu or Wang Kuang of the Bingzhou Army stationed in Anyang City would notice something was wrong and send a large army to relieve the siege.
You must know that there are still 20,000 Bingzhou troops and 5,000 to 6,000 Youzhou soldiers and horses in Anyang City. If they can all fight out together and cooperate with Gongsun Zan in the encirclement, there is still a great chance to rescue Gongsun Zan.
Unfortunately, Gongsun Zan didn't know that because Lin Feng made a big fuss in Anyang City, Gongsun Yue and Wang Kuang, who were not willing to be teased, had their attention diverted by Lin Feng.
First, they continuously sent out rangers to conduct reconnaissance in the direction of Bingzhou. With no results, they sent out more reconnaissance cavalry and sent people north and south to search for the whereabouts of Lin Feng and others.
Anyang City never thought that Lin Feng would dare to flee to the direction of Gongsun Zan's army, so it never sent anyone to the west to check.
However, Gongsun Zan's entire army was surrounded and he had no chance to send anyone back to report the news.
Now it's better. Gongsun Zan looked forward to the stars and the moon, but he couldn't hope for the reinforcements led by his own son.
While Gongsun Xu was constantly thinking of ways to hunt down Lin Feng, he also dreamed of his father's dream of annihilating Lin's army and regaining control of Youzhou.
This situation was really not planned by Lin Feng in advance. He just used a divine hand inexplicably to save Pei Yuanshao.
