The so-called wise man must have a mistake, a fool must have a thousand thoughts, Yuan Tan will lead tens of thousands of wolves from the north to ride, Gongsun Bai didn't expect it, Guo Jia didn't expect it, even a strategist with an intelligence of 100 will have a miscalculation, Guo Jia is the same.
All of Gongsun Bai's forces are concentrated in the south and west of Youzhou, in fact, his troops can barely hold the west and south, and after Yuan Shao in history occupied Bingzhou, he has been fighting with Gongsun Chan at the junction of the south of Youzhou and the north of Jizhou, but what he didn't expect is that Xianbei is still a unified country at this time in history, and if you want to lead a large army from the north of Bingzhou, you will inevitably be blocked by the Xianbei people, and at this time Xianbei has been killed by Gongsun Bai and is torn apart, unable to organize a large-scale resistance and resistance.
Therefore, the Xianbei people can only allow tens of thousands of wolves to ride across the border.
Macheng was originally a small city, the city was low and thin, and the defenders were only four or five hundred people, under the surprise attack of tens of thousands of wolf horsemen in the state, there was no way to resist, but it was attacked in half an hour, and the city was broken.
On this night, Ma Cheng Ling was killed in battle, the grain and grass in the warehouse of Macheng County were looted, and almost all the women in the city between the ages of 12 and 40 were raped.
Raping women and killing people are both ways to boost morale In this era, it is considered merciful not to slaughter cities and not to kill.
This is also the reason why Yuan Tan took into account the reputation of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family.
However, Yuan Tan only stayed in Macheng for two days, and the Bingzhou army, which had been rested and supplied, did not destroy the city step by step, but went all the way south, and attacked Zhuolu County again in the middle After supplying grain and grass again, he went straight to Jicheng.
Jicheng is Yuan Tan's goal.
Jicheng is not only the largest city in Youzhou.
The center of wealth, and there is also Liu Yu, the Taifu who supervises the government affairs of the six states in the city.
Liu Yu is Gongsun Bai's political bargaining chip.
Its effect is second only to that of the Han puppet son Liu Xie, but it does not have the side effects of Liu Xie.
Gongsun Bai used Liu Yu's fame to gain the support of the people and scholars of the three counties in western Liaoning.
Now taking over all the territory of the original Gongsun Zhan, he also took advantage of Liu Yu's prestige, and at the same time attacked Gongsun Du and attacked Yuan Shao in the name of Liu Yu, once Liu Yu was captured by Yuan Tan, Gongsun Bai will lose this biggest political bargaining chip, which will be the heaviest blow, and its loss is far greater than losing Gongsun Zhan's protection.
Similarly, once Jicheng is broken, Gongsun Bai will be attacked on his back, and Yuan Shao will lead the army north.
The two armies attacked together, and no matter how good Gongsun Bai's cavalry was, it would only be defeated.
In the north of Jicheng, 40,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry are rolling in, and endless Bingzhou cavalry are swarming from several directions, and for a while, there is no other color on the prairie, and nothing else can be seen again, except for the Bingzhou cavalry or the Bingzhou cavalry.
Except for gray and gray, it seems that the whole world is only left with gray and simple Bingzhou cavalry.
When he was still two or three miles away from Jicheng City, Yuan Tan, who was riding on an eight-foot horse, raised his right hand leisurely.
In an instant.
The low and desolate sound of the horn had already rushed into the sky, and in the continuous sound of the horn, the soldiers and horses of the state that were rolling forward stopped their progress one after another.
Start tidying up the queue in a neat and orderly manner.
However, with half a pillar of incense, 40,000 wolf riders were already arrayed like a mountain.
Murderous.
Overhead, there are dense spears like a forest.
Looking at the past and looking at the sky, there was nothing else in the air except for a sharp blade that pierced into the clouds diagonally; Under the feet, hundreds of thousands of horse legs cover the entire grassland, and at a glance, except for the horse legs or horse legs, it is impermeable.
Yuan Tan looked at the Bingzhou cavalry behind him with satisfaction, revealing a smug look, and the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou, the courage is not inferior to the Xiliang cavalry, if you talk about the overall combat strength, in fact, it is far above the Youzhou cavalry, so many cavalry can only be vulnerable even if the white horse is elite Yuan Tan waved his hand again, and a tsunami-like shout sounded behind him, and then there was a sound of horses' hooves like a mountain and a sea.
At the north gate of Jicheng, Rao is Youzhou soldiers who defend the city are also considered to have experienced a hundred battles, and they are also panicked, because the enemy who came to attack is more than ten times larger, and there are only 3,000 defenders in Jicheng.
Woooooooo The sharp and desolate sound of the horn instantly reverberated like a hurricane over Jicheng.
Oh, my God They only received an urgent report from the north two days ago, Liu Yu had sent someone to ask for help from the acting prince Sun Bai, but he didn't expect that in just two days, the enemy army had already arrived in the city, such a huge gap in strength, how to fight this battle Soon, Liu Yu hurriedly climbed the city tower accompanied by Wu Ming and Yan Fei, the guards of Jicheng, and when they saw the black and suppressed Bingzhou cavalry under the city, they couldn't help but gasp.
Yuan Tan is like standing out from the crowd, but seeing that he is wearing a white robe, a white horse under his crotch, holding a silver spear in his hand, a purple and gold crown on his head, and looking like a sword eyebrow and starry eyes, and his face is like Fu Fan, what is especially rare is that although Yuan Tan is not as burly as Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he is also a big man with a height of seven feet five.
"The Great Prince's Might" "The Great Prince's Might" "The Great Prince's Might" The roar of the mountains and seas was stirring in the sky outside the city, and I saw tens of thousands of wolf riders riding under Yuan Tan's order, neatly using halberds to tease the sky, or striking shields with swords, while shouting the mighty slogan of the eldest prince very rhythmically, as if a tiger was roaring in the mountains and forests, and a strong high-spirited atmosphere came to the face in an instant.
In particular, those Youzhou generals deeply felt the bravery of the enemy army, and it was obvious that they had encountered such a brave army for the first time since the battle with the Yuan clan.
Yuan Tan looked at the troops behind him, his heart was agitated, and his pride increased greatly, but he felt that in the whole world, I am afraid that there will be no army that can fight with the wolf cavalry under his command.
Although he is the eldest son, Yuan Shao seems to be more fond of his third son Yuan Shang, which makes Yuan Tan worried, worried that the position of the first heir is not stable, but now that he has this world's best horse in his hand, as long as he defeats his father's old enemy Gongsun Bai, he is still afraid of Yuan Shang's favor Yuan Tan waved his hand triumphantly, and the roar behind him like the roar of the sea immediately stopped, and there was silence for an instant.
Yuan Tan was accompanied by the generals Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's brothers and a cadre of guards.
The changed horses galloped down to the city and raised their heads.
Seeing that Liu Yuzheng on the city tower was not angry, his eyes glared at him viciously. couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and hurriedly arched his hand towards the city tower, and shouted loudly: "Yuan Tan, the assassin of Bingzhou, meet the Taifu" Liu Yu on the city tower shouted angrily: "Yuan Tan, you know that this official is here, and you also know that this official is Youzhou Mu, why do you dare to attack the northern land of Youzhou and covet Jicheng" Yuan Tan said in a loud voice: "Taifu, you were almost killed by Gongsun Chan a few years ago.
In recent years, he has been held hostage by Gongsun Bai, and the last general is here to rescue Taifu, please don't panic."
Liu Yu was furious, pointed at him and shouted: "Nonsense, don't withdraw the troops quickly, otherwise he will be punished for the crime of rebellion."
Yuan Tan laughed: "Taifu has been held hostage by Gongsun Bai Xiaoer for a long time, and he has long been involuntarily, and the last general knows that Taifu is insincere, so he doesn't dare to obey his fate." shout A sharp arrow came out from above the city.
Coming straight to Yuan Tan's chest like a meteor, Yuan Tan was shocked and hurriedly swung his spear, just to block the fast and urgent crossbow arrow.
Just listen to the bang.
Yuan Tan, who was 70 in force, shot the crossbow arrow away, but he was also shocked to the point that his arms were numb, and he was so shocked that he retreated again and again.

On the top of the city.
Wu Ming was holding a seven-stone rhubarb crossbow in his hand, and saw that the sneak attack had not worked. couldn't help but scold fiercely.
Yuan Tan, who had returned to the flag, couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and the spear in his hand shook. hissed and roared: "Attack, attack Lao Tzu" In the continuous sound of the horn, thousands of Bingzhou troops held iron shields in front, and the Bingzhou troops behind them shouted a uniform number, dragging dozens of catapults towards Jicheng and slowly crushed over, looking at the behemoth-like catapults, the Youzhou defenders at the head of the city suddenly stirred.
In the suffocating wait, time passed little by little.
Two hundred paces from the city walls, dozens of catapults finally stopped.
Woohoo The crossbow arrows on the castle tower rained down, and they came out with a strong rhubarb crossbow and went straight to the city, but this distance was too far, and the crossbow arrows were already at the end of the strong crossbow when they hit the enemy's cowhide shield that protected the trebuchet, and could not bring effective and fatal damage to the enemy.
With the sound of the uniform trumpet, a team of military warriors of the state suddenly exerted their strength, and dragged down hard, and in an instant, more than a dozen huge throwing arms had bounced into the air, and the hanging basket connected to the far end of the throwing arm through the iron cable suddenly roared and threw into the air, and after rising to the highest point, the boulder in the hanging basket was thrown out violently in front of it.
In the tsunami-like trumpet sound of the Lux Mountain of the Bingzhou Army, dozens of boulders roared up from the rear of the Bingzhou Army, and smashed down towards the head of Jicheng, and the defenders guarding the head of the city suddenly rioted, shouting and shouting to avoid everywhere, and under the crowding of each other, several defenders were squeezed off the female wall and fell into serious injuries.
However, the defenders were panicked, but none of them slipped out of the city and fled.
Yan Fei, one of the main generals of the defending army, suddenly looked up, only to see a boulder whizzing down towards his head.
Between the lightning and the fire, Yan Fei suddenly dodged, and a boulder weighing four or five hundred catties fell his side, accompanied by a loud "boom" sound, several defenders were suddenly shocked into the air, and tumbled and fell to the outside of the city wall, and then a thick smoke and dust rose from the city.
After a while, the smoke and dust dissipated, and I saw that a huge gap had been smashed out of the city, and there were more than two dozen defenders who were originally guarding Yan Fei's side, but they were either shocked and fell directly down the city wall, or they turned into natives, and the two most unlucky defenders were directly smashed into flesh by the boulder.
However, the remaining dozen or so boulders were deflected, either falling into the city or smashing on the city walls.
In the sound of the trumpets of the military warriors of the state army, rows of boulders were thrown into the air, and tumbled and tumbled towards the head of the city of Jicheng, however, the boulders that really hit the head of the city were very few, and most of the stones fell on the towering city wall, and at the same time of smashing the bricks, they also left shallow pits on the city wall.
The catapult bombardment lasted for half a meal, until tens of thousands of troops approached the city walls, and finally stopped firing.
When the catapult of the Bingzhou army stopped firing, the head of the city was already in a mess, although there were few stones that fell on the city, but each boulder caused great damage to the defenders, in addition to the killing and wounding of personnel, but also destroyed a large number of rolling wood stones and fierce fire oil, and even large yellow crossbows.
However, the morale and confidence of the defenders were not affected, and when the smoke and dust that shrouded the city cleared, the defenders who were huddled behind the battlements stood up proudly, and they were not slightly frightened by the blows of the catapults of the Bingzhou army, nor were they panicked by the approach of the Bingzhou army, they just stood quietly at the head of the city, waiting for the Bingzhou army to come and take the city.
"The craftsmen in the Bingzhou army are really powerful, and they can actually make such a powerful catapult," Wu Ming and Yan Fei at the head of the city all praised.
Ho The morale of the soldiers under the city is like a rainbow, and the huge advantage in numbers makes their morale like a rainbow, even if they abandon their horses, they are fearless, not to mention that Yuan Tan has said before the war that as long as they capture Jicheng, they must have everything.
Countless army marching towards the city like a tide pushing the ladders.
Woohoo The crossbow arrows on the city tower were like a downpour, and wave after wave of crossbow arrows poured down on those soldiers who were not afraid of death.
"Roar".
The dense Yunzhou defenders suddenly screamed and fell down one by one.
"Ah, my eyes hurt me."
One of the soldiers was shot through the eye by an arrow, and howled and jumped wildly over the city, but after a few moments, he fell to the ground and died.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old soldier fell to the city with a scream, a wolf's tooth arrow suddenly stuck in his back, and as the young soldier struggled, the feather of the arrow was still trembling gently.
The 1,500 defenders at the head of the city are divided into three teams, one team is responsible for archery, one team is responsible for loading crossbow arrows, and one team is responsible for passing, this kind of three-stage strike style invented by Tian Yu has been familiar to the defenders of Jicheng, five or six hundred large yellow crossbows towards the north gate of the city have been shot almost without intervals, a series of arrow rain attacked, more and more veterans of the state army fell in a pool of blood, and the city suddenly boiled and mourned.
By the time the soldiers who had rushed to the city at the risk of their lives rushed to the city under the city walls, they had little left, and then they were repulsed by the rolling logs and rolling stones on the top of the city.
"The eldest prince, quickly withdraw the troops and cavalry to attack the city like this, it is a pure waste, and there will be a plan in the end, and this city can be easily broken" A general beside Yuan Tan shouted urgently.
Yuan Tan looked back and saw that it was his henchman Guo Tu, seeing his confident appearance, Yuan Tan no longer hesitated, and shouted loudly: "Blow the trumpet, withdraw the troops" S: Go home to sweep the grave, the update is unstable, please forgive me for the unfinished to be continued
