Chapter 958 Liaodong Strange Soldiers

The Liaodong Army, with more than 10,000 troops on foot and cavalry, marched dejectedly on the official road, everyone dejected.

Originally, they went out to compete with Yuan Shao for the hegemony of Youzhou. Since Gongsun Du became the governor of Liaodong, Liaodong County was separated from Youzhou and became an independent party. Gongsun Du later even independent several counties east of Liaodong into Pingzhou, and he served as the pastor of Pingzhou.

As a result, he went out with great enthusiasm, but in the end he looked like a defeated rooster. This huge psychological gap is naturally unacceptable to ordinary people.

"Father, it doesn't matter. Even though we are defeated this time, we can just go back to Liaodong and regroup. Yuan Shao is restrained by Xu Huang and Lu Bu and he doesn't dare to risk his life to attack our army." Gongsun Gong advised Gongsun Du.

"Yes, father, if Yuan Shao can still survive in Peiping, Xu Huang will definitely take the opportunity to beat up the drowned dogs and make them bite dogs. When Yuan Shao's strength weakens, we have accumulated enough strength, and then we will fight out in one fell swoop and take back Youzhou. Occupy Hebei!" Gongsun Kang also advised.

"Haha, it doesn't matter." Hearing his two sons trying to persuade him, Gongsun Du also forced a smile and said, "It doesn't matter. My father was just a small official back then. After struggling to this day, he can have tens of thousands of troops. Now he is just defeated. It’s just one game, so what does it count?”

"Master Liu, is Changli City ahead?" Gongsun Gong asked Liu Yi who was standing aside.

"Exactly, Second Young Master, I have already sent sentries and cavalry to rule in advance. I believe that the city will soon send troops, horses and food to support our army." Liu Yi replied.

After listening to Liu Yi's words, Gongsun Du breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had lost a lot, he could continue to send troops to plunder the population from the Three Hans and train soldiers and horses. As long as he saved up for a few more years, he would definitely be able to have tens of thousands more soldiers and horses.

"Speed ​​up the march! We can eat when we arrive at Changli City."

More than 10,000 Liaodong troops accelerated their march towards Changli City. After half a day's march, they naturally consumed a lot of energy. After hearing the news, they were greatly excited and immediately accelerated their march towards Changli City.

The outline of Changli City appeared far away in the eyes of more than 10,000 Liaodong troops. A flag was flying high above the city with the two characters "Gongsun" written on it.

At this time, the city gate slowly opened, but what came out was not a logistics team carrying military supplies, but a large group of enemy troops.

Xiahou!

Lu!

"Xiahou Shang, General Anbei of the Great Han Dynasty, is here. Gongsun Du, my son, will die quickly!"

"The Han Guard General Lu Qian is here!"

"Kill!"

Thousands of Cao's troops in the city suddenly came out and were divided into two groups under the leadership of Xiahou Shang and Lu Qian, one on the left and the other on the right, rushing towards the Liaodong Army.

"What?"

"Why is Changli City in the hands of Cao Jun?"

More than ten thousand Liaodong troops were stunned on the spot, not knowing what was going on. Changli County has always been under the control of the Liaodong Army. Why would Cao Jun appear here like a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general?

You know, Cao Cao now occupies the Jiangxia County of Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou and Jingzhou. Why did Cao Cao's army appear inexplicably in Liaodong?

"Father, what is this?" Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong looked at Gongsun Du at the same time.

After the initial shock, Gongsun Du quickly came to his senses. After all, he was a generation of heroes who dominated Liaodong. His mind quickly turned around and he understood why Cao Jun suddenly appeared in this place. I'm afraid it was from Came across the sea from Qingzhou.

"Don't panic!"

Just when Gongsun Du was about to give the order, Xia Houshang and Lu Qian had already attacked in two groups, like a crab's two pincers, one on the left and one on the right inserted into the Liaodong army.

"Kill!"

boom!

When the two armies met, the Liaodong Army was almost defeated at first touch, and was killed by Cao's army in an instant. Because the Liaodong Army was a defeated army after all, its morale was relatively low, and after a half-day march, they were just waiting for a hot meal and a good rest.

But unexpectedly, Cao Jun rushed out like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and attacked the Liaodong Army with great momentum.

"Hey!"

Xiahou Shang even raised his spear and leapt on his horse, leading Cao's army to charge into the Liaodong Army. Xiahou Shang was Xia Houyuan's nephew, and the two were very close, so Xia Houyuan's martial arts skills were handed over to Xia Houshang without reservation. Due to his age, Xia Houshang's martial arts has not yet reached perfection, but he is still very brave.

Xia Houshang stood up and stabbed. The long horse spear pierced the air, pierced the chest of a Liaodong soldier, and flew out with a flick.

Xia Houshang took advantage of the situation and swiped his spear in a circle, and two more Liaodong soldiers were wounded.

And Lu Qian was not an ordinary person. He served as a county guard in his early years and once managed the powerful people in the territory to be obedient, and his leadership methods were no less than administrative.

Under the influence of these multiple factors, the Liaodong Army was on the verge of collapse and was completely unable to withstand Cao Jun's fierce attack. Especially the miscellaneous soldiers of the Three Han Dynasty in the Liaodong Army. They were frightened for a long time. When they saw Cao Jun's fierce attack, they dispersed in a rush.

"Run!"

The miscellaneous soldiers of the Three Han Dynasties accounted for a considerable proportion of the Liaodong Army. Their escape would inevitably affect the rest of the Liaodong Army. Although the Liaodong regular soldiers are well-trained, they are still human beings after all. As long as they are human beings, they will inevitably be affected by the environment. Therefore, many Liaodong regular soldiers have also withdrawn.

"Zike, go south and kill Gongsun Du!" Xiahou Shang shouted to Lu Qian.

"Okay, you and I will march in at the same time and kill Gongsun Du!" Lu Qian agreed.

Xia Houshang and Lu Qian each led an army, aimed at the flying "Gongsun" flag, and killed them in unison.

"Father, let's withdraw? If we retreat to Xiangping, Cao Jun will definitely not be able to capture Xiangping!" The timid Gongsun Gong said in a trembling voice. It was probably related to his natural castration, which affected his character, so he was later executed by his nephew Gongsun Yuan. kill.

"What are you afraid of!" Gongsun Du said dissatisfied: "Retreat? If I still stand here, our army will be able to hold on. If I leave, these people will all collapse!"

After all, Gongsun Du was the entrepreneurial leader of the Gongsun family in Liaodong, and was not comparable to Gongsun Gong.

"The whole army holds fast and must stop the enemy's offensive!"

Gongsun Du stood on the spot, motionless, and at the same time ordered Gongsun Kang: "Kang'er, you lead the cavalry to copy Cao's army's rear route and attack from both front and rear!"

"Here, father!"

Although the Battle of Peking was defeated, Gongsun Kang still had nearly 2,000 Liaodong cavalry in his hands, which was a large number. Under Gongsun Du's order, Gongsun Kang immediately jumped out of the battle, gave an order, and led more than two thousand Liaodong cavalry in a roundabout way, like a sharp arrow towards the rear of Xiahou Shang's army.
