Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 361 The Battle of the Boundary Bridge
Guangzong's dangerous terrain is an important barrier to the north of Wei County. From here to the east is Bohai County.

A few months ago, Gongsun Zan's defeat of the Yellow Turban Bandits in Qingzhou was so powerful that Yuan Shao had no choice but to give him Bohai County as a token of friendship.

But Gongsun Zan was dazzled by the victory, and remembered the scene when he was humiliated by the Yuan brothers during the eighteenth princes' alliance a few months ago, so he didn't take Yuan Shao's overtures seriously, and even ordered him to be sealed. Yan Gang, a close friend, is the shepherd of Jizhou, Tian Kai is the shepherd of Qingzhou, and Shan Jing is the shepherd of Yanzhou.

This practice ignored the imperial court, and even discredited Yuan Shao, the shepherd of Jizhou, and it was inevitable that the two sides would go to war under the new and old hatred.

Gongsun Zan sent [-] troops to Panhe, while Yuan Shao led [-] troops to set up camp at Jieqiao.

And Jieqiao belongs to Guangzong County.

The two sides fought each with their own winners and losers. Nearly 10 people fought back and forth between Panhe and Jieqiao for the fort. Guangzong County was harassed by the war and never had the peace it used to be.

Zhen Yao drove all the way north, and after about half a day, he finally arrived at the boundary of Guangzong.

But after entering the city, he found that notices were being posted everywhere in the city, saying that Gongsun Zan's Youzhou soldiers were about to attack the city again.

At this time, Zhen Yao must immediately decide whether to stay in the city or leave before dark, because once the war starts, Guangzong City cannot enter and exit at will.

"You can't stay here for a long time, let's go back to Zhongshan County and make calculations."

In order to be on the safe side, Zhen Yao didn't want to be trapped in the city. Before leaving the city, he found the Zhen's Chamber of Commerce here, ordered the staff of the Chamber of Commerce to wait outside the city at the main road, and notified Han Guang to go to the Zhen's House in Zhongshan County to replace him.

Dong Bai heard it clearly in the carriage, she couldn't tell what she was suffering, and finally escaped from the control of the Han family.

Dong Bai wanted to explain his situation clearly to the third young master of the Zhen family, and begged him to let her go, but her hands and feet were tied, and her mouth was sealed with a cloth strip. What was even more hateful was that there was a maid sent by the Han family to guard her. .

This maid was fat and hideous, and Dong Bai was often threatened by her along the way.

Grandpa died, Xiliang didn't go there, and now she is going to be sold to the enemy's family as a daughter-in-law, thinking of the miserable days in the future, Dong Bai only feels disheartened.

"Brother Mu Zhi, where are you? I would rather die than marry the Yuan family!"

In the dimly lit carriage, Dong Bai's originally clear eyes also lost their brilliance. She made up her mind that if she couldn't escape before Han Guang found her, she would bite her tongue and kill herself.

…………

It is a good thing to walk with the United States, but Liu Yu was anxious to rescue Dong Bai. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he ordered the spies from the guests to protect the carriage, and Zhang Xiu and himself went straight to Guangzong.

Before dark, the two arrived outside Guangzong City on horseback, but they were still a step late, and the gate of Guangzong City was closed.

"My subordinates found out that Gongsun Zan's army is about to arrive. I'm afraid Guangzong City will not be able to enter for a while. If the city is not protected, then the princess's safety..."

"Youwei don't need to worry."

Liu Yu waved his hand, and said confidently: "Gongsun Zan has a false appearance, and he is still inferior to Yuan Shao. I firmly believe that Guangzong City will not be breached."

Liu Yu remembers this period of history very clearly. In the battle of Jieqiao, Gongsun Zan was the loser in the end, and he never broke through Guangzong City.

So they only need to wait for Gongsun Zan to be defeated before they can enter the city safely.

Thinking of the battle at Jieqiao, Liu Yu couldn't help feeling a little excited.

Gongsun Zan was defeated in the Battle of Jieqiao and fled to the north. Wen Chou chased and killed him on the way. Thanks to Zhao Yun's timely arrival, Gongsun Zan was grateful for the life-saving grace and asked Zhao Yun to serve in the Youzhou Army.

That's why Liu Yu brought Zhang Xiu with him on this trip to the north, because he is Zhao Yun's senior brother, and it would definitely be more effective if he came forward to recruit.

Liu Yu thought to himself that since Guangzong City could not enter and exit for a while, it would be better to find Zhao Yun first, and it would be best to lure him into his command before he rescued Gongsun Zan.

According to the memory of the previous life, Gongsun Zan was hunted down in the Panhe area, and it was there that Zhao Yun appeared.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu turned his horse's head to the east and rushed to Panhe.

Along the way, the two avoided the army and tried to choose small paths to sneak.

About an hour later, I heard the deafening sound of fighting from Guangzong City behind me, and the battle began.

Liu Yu expected that Gongsun Zan would be defeated, so he accelerated his speed to Panhe, and after another hour, the two finally heard the sound of running water.

By the moonlight, you can see that the Pan River flows from west to east. Although the river is wide, the water flow is not deep. If you try a horse, you can easily pass it.

At this time, there was still some time before dawn, and it was inconvenient to find someone at night, and it was easier to be greeted by scouts' cold arrows, so the two found a secret place for a short rest.

It was dawn, and the battle on Guangzong's side became more intense.

Yuan Shao adopted General Qu Yi's strategy, lured the enemy deep and ambushed with a powerful crossbow. Gongsun Zan beat Gongsun Zan overnight.

When the sun rose, Yuan Jun attacked with a long halberd force, led by Zhang Minghe, and drove the Youzhou soldiers and horses away from the city as soon as the fire was exchanged.

Two more cavalry came out from both sides, Yan Liang on the left and Wen Chou on the right, charging violently, disrupting the Youzhou army's formation.

Gongsun Zan saw that his soldiers and horses were in a mess, and that if he continued to fight, he would only lose more, so he had to withdraw his troops in a fit of anger.

But Gongsun Zan still overestimated the adaptability of his soldiers and horses, and underestimated the opponent's combat power. Yuan Shao still had a killer move.

When the Youzhou army withdrew near the boundary bridge, a bow and crossbow force suddenly appeared behind them. Under the command of the opponent's leader, Qu Yi, a burst of wild shots completely made the defeated Youzhou soldiers lose their fighting spirit.

The army was defeated like a mountain, and if the soldiers did not obey orders, they would not be able to command, and scattered like birds and beasts. Gongsun Zan was unable to command and could only flee to Panhe with his own barracks.

Not far away, another group of men and horses appeared on both sides of the road. I saw the big flag embroidered with the word Gao, and Yuan killed Gao Lan.

Gongsun Zan resisted with all his strength, killing and wounding countless people. Seeing that there were not many soldiers left in the camp, Gongsun Zan dared not love to fight.

There were also [-] elite troops under the command of Gongsun Fan in the Panhe military camp. Gongsun Zan thought that the only way to be safe was to escape to Congdi.

Just as Gongsun Zan was about to seize the road and flee eastward, he suddenly heard a loud roar from behind him.

"Gongsun and children, don't run away, grandpa Wen Chou is coming!"

The Four Courts of Hebei are all brave and good at fighting, but in terms of strength, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are ahead, Zhang He and Gao Lan are behind, just now Gongsun Zan fought Gao Lan for [-] or [-] rounds, and knew that the opponent's force was not inferior to him, now come With a stronger Wen Chou, he didn't dare to stay for a moment.

But in this way, the dozen or so soldiers who followed him were completely left behind, and Wen Chou brought more than 50 horsemen, and killed the dozen Youzhou soldiers in just one face-to-face. After that, Wen Chou and others speeded up their horses Crazy pursuit of Gongsun Zan.

Killing Gongsun Zan would completely disintegrate the Youzhou army's offensive, and even counterattack and take Youzhou. How could such a great feat be missed by Gao Lan, who chased after him with his horse belly.
