Three Kingdoms: Jiehu becomes stronger from the beginning of Taoyuan's three knots

Chapter 201 Comprehensive Counterattack against Gongsun Zan

After Liu Ce heard Hua Mulan's words, a warm smile appeared on his face.

This kind of smile reveals three points of free and easy, three points of thoroughness and three points of letting go, and there is also a point of something that even she can't see.

In short, Hua Mulan really felt that Liu Ce was different from before.

"You are not what you used to be..."

Liu Ce couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart after hearing Hua Mulan's words.

This is a relief and a relief.

In the past, his eyes were completely occupied by desire to forget, and he couldn't see all the beautiful things in this world.

In the past, he would only fight for himself, but now he has really changed.

"Yes, I know what to fight for!"

After saying this, Liu Ce showed an innocent smile.

It was the first time Hua Mulan saw Liu Ce like this.

Afterwards, Liu Ce and Hua Mulan stood firm at the Shanhaiguan Pass, and led the soldiers to block Gongsun Yuan, who was blessed by the system, from outside the pass.

Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong finally arrived at the critical moment.

Liu Ce led the army to attack in an all-round way, and launched the most violent counterattack against Gongsun Zan and others!
Even though Gongsun Yuan has the blessing of the system, when faced with absolute strength, it is difficult for his luck to play too much role.

Liu Ce led a decisive battle against Gongsun Zan in the Pinggang area, and the two armies clashed [-] miles south of the city!

Gongsun Zan gathered all the elite troops, and then formed a square formation with [-] infantry.

Gongsun's infantry was divided into left and right wings, and each side was equipped with more than 5000 cavalry.

Ju Yi volunteered to lead [-] elite soldiers as the vanguard.

Liu Ce ordered Huang Zhong to cover Ju Yi's soldiers with a thousand crossbows, and he personally led the infantry with [-] soldiers behind him.

Seeing that Liu Ce had few soldiers, Gongsun Zan ordered the cavalry to charge.

Ju Yi ordered the soldiers to hide under the shield one step earlier, and then waited for Gongsun's cavalry to rush to a distance of only [-] steps, all jumped up and slashed past.

At the same time, Huang Zhong's thousands of powerful crossbows fired at Gongsun Zan's cavalry camp frantically.

Gongsun Zan's army was hit by an unexpected blow, and the whole army fell into chaos.

All the cavalry and infantry rushed for their lives, and countless soldiers died of trampling on each other.

Qu Yi took the lead and led the army to fight more and more bravely. Before the battle, he beheaded Gongsun Zan's general Yan Gang, beheaded more than a thousand enemy soldiers, and took advantage of the victory to pursue Gongsun Zan.

With the help of Gongsun Yuan, Gongsun Zan withdrew to Pinggang, trying to hold on to the city.

But Gongsun Yuan's luck seems to have been used up. A military and civilian mutiny occurred in Pinggang City, and Ju Yi once again took the lead and led the army to break through the city and enter!

Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Yuan were defeated, and Liu Ce took the opportunity to force the general Gongsun's army back to Liaodong.

Gongsun Zan retreated to defend Liucheng, and Liu Ce's army approached the city a few days later.

Seeing this situation, Gongsun Zan quietly called his son Gongsun Xu to his side.

"Xu'er, take this fast gold medal and go to Montenegro to ask for help!"

After Gongsun Xu received the gold medal, his face was full of suspicion.

"Black Mountain? Zhang Yan's side?"

"He is so far away, how could he come to rescue?"

After hearing this, Gongsun Zan slowly shook his head and said.

"No, Zhang Yan will definitely come!"

"Zhang Yan and Liu Ce have a sworn feud. I looked for him when I returned from Luoyang."

"At that time, we agreed that if there was a war, we would send troops from the north and the south together, so that Liu Ce would suffer from the enemy!"

"At this moment, our army is at a time of life and death, Zhang Yan must understand the truth of death!"

When Gongsun Xu heard this, he felt that it was reasonable, so he hurriedly cupped his fists and left.

At this time, Gongsun Zan took his son's hand, hesitated for a moment and then said with a slight frown.

"Take Gongsun Yuan with you, and you will stay with Zhang Yan and help him flank Liu Ce in the south..."

Gongsun Xu felt very strange when he heard this, but he agreed to his father's words without asking any further questions.

That night, Gongsun Zan personally led his son and Gongsun Yuan out of the city through the north gate.

Early the next morning after Gongsun Xu left, Liu Ce's army launched a fierce attack on Liucheng.

Gongsun Zan is good at running raids and cavalry battles, and the offensive and defensive battles of defending the city are not suitable for them at all.

So a few days after Liu Ce besieged the city, Gongsun Zan resolutely decided to personally lead his troops out of the city to actively seek opportunities for combat!

Gongsun Zan personally led his troops out of the siege to occupy the Southwest Mountain, intending to use the mountain as a base to form a corner with Liucheng.

But Gongsun Zan never expected that he had just led troops out of Liucheng.

Then the people in Liucheng rebelled again!

When the people of Liucheng heard that Liu Ce was leading the army again, they immediately picked up their kitchen knives, axes, dung forks and other things at home and revolted!
These people still remembered Liu Ce's great kindness and virtue back then, so when they heard that he led people back to Liucheng, they cooperated with the army outside the city to take down Liucheng.

The mountain where Gongsun Zan was located suddenly became difficult to control, and that night Gongsun Zan withdrew in desperation.

On the way to retreat, the chief official Guan Jing came to Gongsun's tent to advise and advise.

"My lord, our army can no longer withdraw! If we continue to withdraw, the soldiers will definitely feel rebellious, and our army will be powerless to fight again!"

When Gongsun Zan heard this, his face suddenly became sad.

"What do you mean by that, sir?"

Guan Jing saw that Gongsun Zan was willing to listen to him, so he went all out and boldly expressed his opinion.

"The soldiers will follow you to cherish their hometown, old and young!"

"Everyone regards you, general, as the backbone, so if the general can hold on for a long time, Liu Ce will naturally retreat!"

"But if the general keeps retreating to avoid fighting, the army will lose its back town, and its destruction will be a snap."

"General, if you retreat any further, you will lose your foundation. Then you will become homeless in the wilderness. How can you achieve great achievements?"

After hearing Guan Jing's words, Gongsun Zan woke up like a god.

So he decided not to evade, but led the army to actively seek fighters to organize a counterattack.

He wanted to wait while fighting, hoping that Gongsun Xu could move in to rescue soldiers, and when the time came, he would attack Liu Ce back and forth.

Half a month later, Montenegro coach Zhang Yan, Gongsun Xu, and Gongsun Yuan led an army of [-] Heishan troops to rescue Gongsun Zan in three ways.

Gongsun Zan learned that reinforcements were on the way, so he secretly sent a letter to Gongsun Xu in a hurry.

This made it stated in the secret letter that Gongsun Xu personally led five thousand cavalry to sneak close to Liu Ce's army, and then raised a torch in response.

At that time, Gongsun Zan will lead all the troops to rush forward and kill Liu Cejun by surprise!
Gongsun Zan's plan was very good, but his luck was not very good.

His secret letter was snatched by Liu Ce's ambush soldiers just over twenty miles out of the camp!

After reading Gongsun Zan's secret letter, Liu Ce decided to follow suit.

Three days later, Liu Ce ordered Li Xuanba to lead people to set up torches near the barracks as a signal.

Gongsun Zan thought that reinforcements had arrived, so he led his troops to attack with all his strength.

Liu Ce set up multiple ambushes along the way to attack Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan was defeated and fled to an unknown small city to survive.
