"Kill!"

"Swoosh swish swish swish..."

"Uh...ret......"

“……”

Below the city of Faping County, a group of Yuan Shao's soldiers, a scale of about 40,000 to 50,000 people, launched a wave of attacks towards the city. However, what greeted them was the dense rain of arrows shot down from the city wall, and the attack was quickly suppressed.

Looking at the crowded people above the city, the troops defending the city seemed to be no less than the soldiers of Yuan Shao's troops who were involved in the attack. Therefore, after a wave of siege, Yuan Shao's troops hesitated and chose to leave.

Yuan Shao divided into nine groups to cross the Yellow River and Ji River, while Yuan Shao himself came as the last route to the formation.

There were generals and commanders of each of the front troops, including the three Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Zhang He (Gao Lan had been beheaded by Dian Wei before).

In addition, there are also generals who have made many military achievements, and Tian Feng, the adviser who directly promoted the troops to send troops to Yanzhou in Qingzhou, Shen Pei and Feng Ji.

Especially among them, Tian Feng, Shen Pei and Feng Ji, the three counselors, were completely unified in their opinions this time. They all recognized the huge threat from Yang Rui and jointly promoted Yuan Shao to send troops to participate in the [Xuzhou dispute] operation.

Before several armies crossed the river, Yuan Shao passed the order, arbitrating the three counties of Gaotang, Liaocheng and Yangping as military gathering points. All troops and horses could freely attack the cities and villages along the route, and set generous rewards.

Therefore, Yuan Shao's troops and horses were all working hard, and he tried his best to conquer cities and make achievements in the places he passed.

However, situations like Faping County are common. Whether Yuan Shao's various troops were dispersed or gradually gathered, the number of territory captured was relatively limited. Not to mention county-level territory, they even suffered a lot of losses in town and village-level territory.

The main reason is that the local troops in Yang Rui's territory are relatively rich. In order to avoid the attack of the Taishi Ci ship on the Yellow River, Yuan Shao's troops chose the Yellow River, the most curved long section of the Ji River. It was broken into pieces and crossed the river. This strategy also led to the fact that Yuan Shao's troops were a bit too dispersed, and even the same army crossed the river was very large.

As a result, the local area where Yuan Shao's troops cross the river were even worse than the local Yang Rui's troops. Not to mention that these Yuan Shao's troops were going to make contributions, they even encountered a head-on blow as soon as they crossed the river, causing considerable losses.

Of course, this situation is still a minority after all, and Yuan Shao's troops take the initiative more often. It's just that this initiative does not bring much results.

However, when it comes to the results of the battle, Yuan Shao's subordinates certainly did not make any achievements. Yuan Shao won the Liaocheng County Town with a lightning speed!

At that time, Sun Qian's order to clear the world was just halfway. The officials in Liaocheng County were negligent in defense and did not even get any news about Yuan Shao's troops moving south.

Speaking of which, this is also due to some historical reasons. When Guan Yu was the county magistrate in Liaocheng, Yang Rui strictly controlled the military strength within the Liaocheng area. Naturally, Yang Rui himself would not allocate one soldier to Guan Yu, and at the same time he was always paying attention to Guan Yu's military strength.

Especially after Liu, Guan and Zhang left Yang Rui's chassis, the defense of Liaocheng County suddenly became blank. Even though Yang Rui made relevant compensation later, both officials and defenders were still not as good as other cities.

The most important thing is that it was Tian Feng, the first soldier in Jizhou, who captured Liaocheng County this time!

Although there were specific factors in the process, Tian Feng was able to capture the city by relying on the means of surprise attacks, in any case, being able to control Liaocheng County in his hands was enough to reflect Tian Feng's ability to use troops.

Among the three agglomeration points that Yuan Shao had planned, only one of Liaocheng was snatched by Tian Feng. The other two counties in Gaotang and Yangping were still controlled by Yang Rui's troops, and Yuan Shao's troops were just constantly gathering in the two places. After several rounds of siege, the first Yuan Shao's troops arrived just surrounded and did not attack. They settled down on the spot.

Especially the Yuan Shao's troops who crossed the river near Gaotang seemed even more scattered and exhausted, because the troops commanded by the general Yan Liang happened to be blocked by the Taishici fleet during the process of crossing the river, which was a heavy loss.

When the small catapult car assembled on the Taishi Ci's ship was powerful, it faced the troops commanded by Yan Liang. Although Taishi Ci and Yang Rui's troops did not pay much attention to it at the beginning, the real situation was that the large ship where Yan Liang was located was sunk first!

It was indeed sunk! However, Yan Liang was dragged onto the boat by his soldiers at the last moment, and then quickly dragged it to the north shore!

In other words, the only army in Yuan Shao who had successfully crossed the river was the Eighth Route Army in front, plus the troops and horses that Yuan Shao himself adjourned him. The army commanded by Yan Liang only crossed a portion of the soldiers to the south bank. Moreover, due to the lack of the commander of the commander, it can only be regarded as a scattered soldier.

The war spread across the river within three hours after Yuan Shao's troops crossed the river. Moreover, with the gathering of troops from Yuan Shao's troops, the lucky balance seemed to gradually shift towards Yuan Shao's side!

Finally, he successfully crossed the Yellow River from the area near Liaocheng County on the middle road. Yuan Shao, who was in the Ji River, thought so. The Liaocheng County Town in front of him was already controlled by his subordinates. Yuan Shao seemed to have seen the scene of the entire Qingzhou and Yanzhou being conquered by him... …

The situation near Gaotang County was far from what Yuan Shao expected. Originally, most of Yan Liang's troops were missing in the north direction. Gaotang County, the assembly point, is not far from Pingyuan County, and is the area where Yang Rui has always had the most defensive force.

At this time, nearly 400,000 troops from Sun Qian, Zhang Ning, Han Dai and Ding Yao were on the way to assist Pingyuan County. If the current situation of Yuan Shao's troops near the assembly point of Gaotang County continues, it will be difficult for them to open up the situation again.

The situation near Yangping County was much better. With the continuous gathering of soldiers, Yuan Shao's troops had even seen the dawn of successfully taking down the city!

In particular, they found that although there were a lot of defense troops in Yangping County, there were no generals stationed here. If they let go of the strong attack at any cost, it would be only a matter of time before they finally took the city.

However, after Yang Rui's Sky City arrived near Yangping County, the situation immediately reversed! (~^~)
