Chapter 436 Yuan Tan goes into battle
The Guangzong battlefield is like a reincarnation of time. The Yellow Turban Rebellion of that year is gradually fading in people's memory. At this time, the Black Mountain Army, who was born in the Yellow Turban, became the attacking party. The battle between the Jizhou Army and the Black Mountain Army was once again buried in this land.
The land of bones is ablaze.
Yes, the burial ground.
Guangzong Giant City is located in the middle of Jizhou with convenient transportation. It was originally supposed to be a prosperous place in Jizhou, but Guangzong has not been able to gain popularity in recent years.
Because the Yellow Turban Rebellion left a large number of corpse pits here, and countless bones were buried under this land, Guangzong City has now become a military fortress-like garrison.
Outside Guangzong City, the Montenegrin Army set up a joint camp five miles away from the city. The gates of Guangzong City were tightly closed, and in a place that should have been open a thousand meters below the city, the cavalry of the two armies advanced and retreated to fight, stirring up sand, dust, and blood.
"Haha, kill! These stupid sheep dare to call themselves cavalry. Warriors, follow me to kill the enemy!" On the side of the Jizhou Army, a cavalry general with a mink tail turban on his helmet shouted, waving a mace.
In the cavalry duel, the combat power of the Jizhou Cavalry was obviously higher than that of the Montenegrin Army. It is not difficult to see their nomadic origins from the costumes of these Jizhou Cavalry.
The Qin Dynasty's horse administration strictly required the uniform body shape of the war horses. From a certain perspective, the taller the horses for cavalry formations, the better.
The horses of these Jizhou cavalry are generally taller and stronger than ordinary war horses. In Youji area, this kind of war horse is the symbol of Wuhuan cavalry.
The battle between the cavalry and the cavalry was fierce, but it was not the usual battle method of the Han army.
The tactics of both armies tended to be guerrilla and cavalry. The Jizhou Army had its back on the city and increased its troops from time to time. The Black Mountain Army was suppressed and tried to attract the Jizhou cavalry away from the city, but its own casualties continued to rise.
"Boom! Boom!" The roundabout fight gradually turned into a chase and an escape. Amidst the roar of horse hooves, the Montenegro army fled towards their own military camp.
Facing the cavalry attack, we saw the Montenegrin Army's military formations standing by in front of the barracks, and the sword, shield, and spearmen building the front line of defense. After the Blackshan Cavalry ran to a safe distance, long-range arrows rained down on the Jizhou Cavalry.
"Lü~~!" He reined in his horse and took a circuitous route. The Jizhou cavalry drew an arc outside the range of the arrow rain and moved to avoid it.
There is no need to give orders, and the cavalry avoids them in an orderly manner. It can be seen that this cavalry has superb riding skills and their fighting style is far from being as rough as they appear.
"Haha~~ My eldest son, the Black Mountain thieves cannot be reused. Are we going to avoid fighting today?" General Hu laughed in front of the formation, and the accompanying cavalry galloped back and forth, giving out a burst of mocking shouts.
Hu Qi's combat power is not weak, but they are currently defending the city, and there are a large number of infantry on the opposite side. The time for a general attack has not yet come, so there is no need for them to rush through the infantry formation and only increase casualties.
"Drink!" The infantry shouted together, the spearmen came out, marched forward in formation with spears and halberds, the war drums of the Montenegrin army thundered, and the military formations moved together. The face of the general Hu on the opposite side changed, and he shouted strangely, and the cavalry of the first army turned their horses.
, returned to Guangzong City.
Are the Black Mountain Bandits trying to attack the city again?
The direction of the city is covered by arrows from the city, and if the Black Mountain bandits are defeated, it will be convenient for the city to send troops to encircle and suppress them. However, the Jizhou cavalry will not confront the Black Mountain army head-on here.
The Heishan army marched forward, keeping a safe distance from the city. Ten generals, including Yuan Tan and Zhang Yan, immediately mounted in front of the army and looked at the Jizhou military flag on the city.
"The eldest son is very talented in literature and art. You must never fight with him again." Guangzong opened the city and another group of cavalry came out. Next to Yuan Tan, Zhang Yan frowned and said softly.
"I know. Jushou should have arrived at Guangzong. Wait for me to try and say something. If things can't be done, we will divide our troops to clear the river. I don't believe they can still defend the city. They only need to capture one or two small cities to publicize their momentum, haha
, Ju Shou will be punished." Yuan Tan nodded, with disdain on his lips as he spoke.
Yuan Tan understood Yuan Shao's temperament, and Zhang Yan also understood what Yuan Tan was referring to. However, Zhang Yan did not interrupt casually to flatter him. After all, the relationship between the two fathers and his son could not be reconciled with more words or less.
To say that Yuan Tan was really offended by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao doted on Yuan Shang and he felt sorry for himself, and he tolerated Yuan Shao throwing him to Liu Cang.
But seeing that Yuan Shao had basically captured Youzhou, he actually didn't call him back. Not only that, Yuan Shao took the rank of general himself, and the news he sent to him just told him to pay more attention to Liu Cang's attitude and movements.
Liu Cang has been a hussar general for so many years. You raise your hand to suppress him and control the entire country's military power?
Pay attention to Liu Cang’s attitude? Don’t you know how quick Liu Cang is at stabbing people?
In fact, Yuan Tan has always considered Yuan Shao's background, and always feels that as long as he works hard, Yuan Shao should not treat him too badly.
This is good, he has obviously become Yuan Shao's abandoned son, and he abandoned him so confidently.
Every time he thought of Yuan Shang being able to enjoy his life at the knees of his parents and receive compliments from his ministers, while he was always worried and cautious but no one cared about his life or death, Yuan Tan could not sleep well at night, and his heart was as sharp as a knife.
When Jia Xu came to him to talk about attacking Yuan Shao, and secretly promised him the position of state pastor and guaranteed him the capital to start a family, Yuan Tan found that he seemed to be qualified to overturn the table.
"Where is Duke Ju? Yuan Tan is here, let's talk about it!" Yuan Tan walked in front of the army and shouted to the city.
"My eldest son, stop here. Your swords and arrows have no eyes. If you want to negotiate peace, please withdraw your troops and enter the city." As soon as Yuan Tan finished speaking, a man from the city Chou came out on horseback and signaled the people on the city not to draw their bows. He shouted loudly, identifying Yuan Tan's identity.
Just in case someone was greedy for power, Yuan Tan was shot dead with one arrow.
Everyone in Jizhou knew about Yuan Tan's situation, but who knew that he was Yuan Shao's son?
Yuan Shao's current status is high or low, neither high nor low, and behind Yuan Shang there is a group of Jizhou civil and military personnel. The matter between Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan has become a family matter, and it is difficult for outsiders to interfere.
However, in the battlefield duel, as far as Wen Chou and other veteran generals of Yuan Shao are concerned, they still hope not to kill Yuan Tan if they can, at least not to let him be killed in front of them.
The benefits are not forthcoming and it is easy to take the blame.
Wen Chou had already killed several Montenegrin military generals. Seeing Wen Chou step forward, the Montenegrin army were filled with indignation. At this time, Ju Shou's figure also appeared at the top of the city.
"How are you, the eldest son? You have worked hard for many years, and Mr. Yuan has high hopes for you. Why would you do such a treasonous thing?" Jushou raised his voice from the top of the city.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Using a son to defeat his father, Yuan Tan is naturally at a disadvantage morally. Even in Yuan Tan's situation, it is very difficult to argue. Jushu is confident.
The words greatly reduced the morale of the Montenegrin army.
"Jugong, do you also want to deceive Tan?" Yuan Tan called out sadly, and when he said to Ju Shou on the city, there was already a cry in his tone.
".
"There was no sophistry or anger. Yuan Tan asked, and Ju Shou was stunned for a while.
'this.
The eldest young master used to be very reckless, who did he learn this from?' Jushou thought silently. Yuan Tan didn't follow the routine, and Jushou couldn't express what he was planning.
"Mr. Ju, what Yuan Tan did today is known to everyone who knows it. Tan doesn't want to talk to you about it."
"However, Jizhou has been in war for many years and the people's livelihood has declined. Now my father has recruited a large number of nomads into Jizhou. The people have to pay for their food even if they don't have enough to eat. How innocent the people of Jizhou are."
Yuan Tan shouted that the Jizhou army had different attitudes. The Han army felt this, and Hu Qi was disdainful and indignant.
"The outside world spreads that I, the Fourth and Third Duke of the Yuan family, belong to the Yuan family and care about the Han Dynasty and the people of the world. The Liaodong Gongsun has been restrained, but my father has become more and more aggressive. He must have been deceived by traitors."
"Treacherous evil is in power, but Tan regrets that he has no ability to correct the chaos. Now that Yuan Tan is unfilial, he should use military force to admonish him. He only hopes to find a safe place for the people of Jizhou."
"Jugong, General Wen, Tan is bold and outspoken. I hope you two can help each other to protect the peace of Jizhou." Yuan Tan paid homage to Jugong above the city and Wen Chou below the city, and said affectionately.
Yuan Tan was very emotional, but he was not happy with the large number of Hu cavalry in the Jizhou army. There was a lot of noise and even some faint scolding in the army.
"Quiet!" Wen Chou shouted sharply.
"My eldest son, Mr. Wen is engaged in military affairs and does not understand the general principles. Before the two armies are forming, I hope that your eldest son will respect himself!" Wen Chou frowned and said to Yuan Tan. He did not like this tone.
The generals of the army followed Wen Chou and shouted at the soldiers. The noise stopped. Jushou on the city smiled bitterly and shook his head.
