Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 230 Chase and Attack

Yuan Shao led troops to besiege the city of Hanoi for several days, but failed to attack. He wanted to lead his troops westward, but he was worried that Zhang Ji would kill him from behind, and the two armies faced each other for a while.

"Report!"

An urgent report came from outside Yuan Shao's tent, and after a while, a messenger rushed into the tent, holding a military report in his hand, and shouted: "Jizhou urgent report!"

Yuan Shao was startled, and quickly said: "Submit it quickly!"

A report from the general of the soldiers had already been brought and handed to Yuan Shao, who was summoned to leave the account without incident.

Yuan Shao got the military newspaper, opened it, and couldn't help being shocked, almost unable to grasp it, and dropped the military newspaper on the ground.

"My lord, what happened?" Guo Tu, who was accompanying the army, asked.

Yuan Shao said in a panic: "Zhang Yan from Heishan and Tian Feng from Youzhou lead troops at the same time and are approaching Jizhou. This is an urgent report from Gongyu!"

Guo Tu was also surprised when he heard this, and said, "Does Zhao Qian want to fight with the lord?"

"Now that I am leading the army, there are also soldiers and horses stationed in Qingzhou and Bohai Sea. Only Jizhou is currently empty. If Zhang Yan and Tian Feng take advantage of the vacancy, I will lose my roots." Yuan Shao panicked.

Guo Tu quickly said: "My lord, don't worry, you can leave quietly in the dark and return to Jizhou to resist the enemy."

Yuan Shao nodded, and sent an order: "Order the barracks to make meals at the third watch tonight, set up the village at the fourth watch, and return to Jizhou."

In the city of Hanoi, Zhang Ji also received news that Zhang Yan and Tian Feng had indeed responded to Su Huan's request and led troops to approach Jizhou.

Zhang Yan led the [-] Black Mountain Army Chen Bing Zhending, while Tian Feng led Yan Rou and [-] troops set off from Fanyang County, Chen Bing Anping.

At this time, Jizhou was empty, and the defender was Chun Yuqiong, with only ten thousand soldiers in his hands. Facing the approaching army from two directions, Ju Shou had no choice but to send an emergency military report to inform Yuan Shao.

"General Zhang, Yuan Shao must have heard the news, and he will definitely return to Jizhou to ensure that he will not be attacked." Su Huan said.

Zhang Ji nodded and said: "The Zhongting's strategy is really a good one. It seems that the siege of Hanoi will definitely be resolved."

Su Huan smiled slightly, turned to Zhang Xiu and said, "Wen Jin, would you like to pursue Yuan Shao and fight against him?"

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he nodded and said, "Of course I would, but that Yan Liang is really brave and really hard to deal with."

"General Wenjin, don't worry. This time Yuan Shao is in a hurry to return to Jizhou, and he will definitely not be able to look at each other. When he leads his troops to leave, we will chase and attack them, and we will surely win!" Su Huan said.

Zhang Xiu was very happy after hearing Su Huan's words, it was really exciting to be able to win a battle and let out a bad breath.

Zhang Ji thought about it carefully, and felt that Su Huan's plan was feasible, and Su Huan's previous plan was successful, so he trusted him very much.

"Then according to Zhongting's statement, when Yuan Shao retreats, chase and attack him!" Zhang Ji said.

Su Huan nodded, and said: "At present, what we need to do is to send out as many scouts as possible to monitor Yuan Shao's movements around the clock."

Zhang Ji immediately sent city scouts to sneak out of the city to closely monitor Yuan Shao's movements, and report any abnormalities immediately.

During the day, Yuan Shao's barracks were very quiet. Zhang Ji did not relax his vigilance and stepped up his scouts to investigate.

Finally, at three o'clock in the middle of the night, the scouts sent an order saying that there was movement in Yuan Shao's camp.

Zhang Ji immediately brought Zhang Xiu and Su Huan to discuss, and Su Huan concluded that this was the precursor of Yuan Shao's retreat.

So, Zhang Ji ordered his soldiers to eat some millet cakes to satisfy their hunger, and they were on standby at any time, ready to pursue Yuan Shao.

On the [-]th watch, scouts came to report, Yuan Shao's army moved out, the action was very secretive, the camp was not dismantled, and even a small team was left behind in the camp, obviously to guard against Zhang Ji.

However, after being reminded by Su Huan, Zhang Ji was clearly well-prepared, and he never thought of going out from the east gate to attack Yuan Shao's camp.

When he learned of Yuan Shao's retreat, Zhang Ji immediately led his army, together with Zhang Xiu and Su Huan, out of the north gate, took a small road, and went to chase and kill Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was afraid that there would be changes in Jizhou, so he marched very fast, and the entire formation was very long and scattered.

The small path that Zhang Ji's army took was a shortcut, and Yuan Shao's army was soon discovered.

The sergeants lay in ambush by the roadside, quietly waiting for Zhang Ji's order.

Soon, more than half of Yuan Shao's army had passed by. Zhang Ji looked at Su Huan, only to see Su Huan nodded slightly, and then shouted: "All of them, kill them!"

With a bang, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, and Su Huan led thousands of soldiers and rushed out from the roadside, directly killing Sergeant Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shaojun was on his way in a hurry, but when he was suddenly attacked, he immediately became a mess, unable to organize a resistance at all, and the rear army fled in all directions.

Yuan Shao didn't know it at this time, and Yan Liang and Guo Tu were in front, blindly rushing forward. At this time, the messenger came and hurriedly reported: "My lord, something is wrong. Zhang Ji led the army to pursue, and he has already met the rear army."

Yuan Shao was shocked and wanted to rein in his horse and return to the army to resist, but Guo Tu said: "My lord, the matter of Jizhou is important. To deal with Zhang Ji's pursuers, just send a general to go."

Yuan Shao nodded, looked left and right, saw a man sitting upright on his horse, and said: "Jiang Qi obeys the order, order you to return to the rear army quickly and resist Zhang Ji!"

"Order!"

Jiang Qi took the order and rode away. Yuan Shao did not stay, and led the former army to continue in the direction of Jizhou.

At this time, Yuan Shao's rear army was being massacred by the army led by Zhang Ji, especially Zhang Xiu, who poured all his anger on Sergeant Yuan Shao.

However, a moment later, a general rode over and said angrily, "Boldly Zhang Ji, Jiang Qi is here, he will die!"

With Jiang Qi opening the way with a big sword, the sergeant of Yuan Shao's rear army began to organize a counterattack, and Jiang Qi quickly killed him.

Zhang Xiu saw it, and snorted coldly, thinking, if he can't beat Yan Liang, can he still beat this Jiang Qi?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu brandished his long spear and started a night battle in all directions. Several blood mist sprayed up around him. Looking at the surrounding enemies, they all died under Zhang Xiu's spear.

Zhang Xiu abandoned those soldiers and rode his horse towards Jiang Qi. Jiang Qi also spotted Zhang Xiu and waved his sword to meet him.

when!
There was a loud bang when the swords and guns collided, but Zhang Xiu clearly felt that this Jiang Qi was far too good to be his opponent.

Now that the opponent's strength has been tested, Zhang Xiu no longer has any ink stains. With a big gun, he was calm and powerful, and Jiang Qi was defeated steadily.

Jiang Qi was shocked. That day, seeing Yan Liang fighting two against one, he felt relaxed. He thought that this embroidery was nothing more than that, but who knows, he couldn't resist it.

However, it was too late to regret it now. With a flick of Zhang Xiu's wrist, he swung away the big knife in Jiang Qi's hand, and then made a straight stab.

When Jiang Qi reacted again, Zhang Xiu's big spear had already pierced his chest, taking advantage of the trend, Jiang Qi fell off his horse.

However, although Jiang Qi died, he effectively resisted Zhang Ji's army. At this time, Yuan Shao's army had already left, so it was obviously not a wise choice to pursue him.
