"Whoosh whoosh!"

Countless arrows shot at Gongsun Zan's army. Gongsun Zan was terrified. How could there be ambushes here?

This is his rear, could it be that the other party has already broken through Ji County?

"Quick, fight back!"

Nowadays, bows and arrows are standard equipment for cavalry. They may not carry knives, but they must carry bows and arrows.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Pfft!"

A guard beside Gongsun Zan was shot through the armor by an arrow.

"Damn it, it's so sharp..."

Chapter 164 Do You Dare to Play Sparrow Tactics in Front of Me?

"Report, the transportation team sent by our army to Zhuojun was attacked by the opponent's cavalry, and suffered heavy losses."

"Report, the train team sent by our army to Anci was burned down by the other side."

"Report, a small group of cavalry harassed Xu Huang's camp, and ran away after firing the arrows."

"Report, a team of scouts from our army suddenly disappeared."

……

Cao Shuo was in the camp, listening to the battle reports, he was so annoyed that this Gongsun Zan actually played sparrow tactics.

"My lord, our army has been successfully attacked by the opponent more than a dozen times in a row, and the loss is not small. Should we send a large army to encircle and suppress?"

Xun You looked at Cao Shuo with a sad face, this group of cavalry didn't make contact with their soldiers at all, and ran away after firing their arrows.

Cao Shuo said with a gloomy face: "The opponent is very mobile and has a very clear purpose. They just want to harass. It may not be realistic to encircle and suppress them. We must find a way to attract the opponent."

Qi Zhou suggested: "This subordinate has a plan, maybe let the other party enter our army's urn."

"Oh?"

Cao Shuo looked at Qi Zhou curiously.

"Our army will hold out for a period of time before sending food and grass to other camps. The other camps must think that the other camps are short of food and come to burn them down. Then they will block their retreat, and maybe they can be caught."

Cao Shuo thought for a while and said, "If there are too many cavalry to block, it is very likely that the opponent will notice it!"

Xun You said: "My lord is right. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. I am afraid that our every move is under the surveillance of the other party. This strategy needs to be improved."

Xi Zhicai suddenly said, "Master, why bother?"

Everyone looked at Xi Zhicai in unison.

Xi Zhicai explained: "The purpose of the opponent's attack and harassment of our army is to slow down our army's advance and prepare Ji County to defend the city. As long as our army goes to the camp outside Ji County, their plan will be defeated."

Xun You agreed: "Zhicai is right. If our army surrounds Ji County, not only will we be able to break the opponent's harassment, but it will also have a miraculous effect."

"What miraculous effect?" Cao Shuo asked hastily.

"Our army gave up attacking Zhuo County and Liang Township. The defenders in these two places will definitely attack from the rear. If we leave two cavalry behind, attack the opponent while the opponent is out of the city, and then send someone to pretend to be a defeated army to swindle the city. , these two cities can be broken!"

Xi Zhicai praised: "What a plan to turn against the customer!"

"Xu Ding, Qi Zhou and you two led three thousand Xuanjia troops and five thousand infantry, and ambushed in the woods on the east side of Liangxiang."

"promise!"

"Zilong, you lead an army of [-] Xuanjia troops and [-] infantry to lie in ambush in the valley to the west of Zhuo County!"

"promise!"

"Sun Jin, Zhang Yi, Zhang Zan, and Wei Dun each led two thousand Xuanjia troops to wipe out the enemy cavalry within ten miles around the camp."

"promise!"

"Pull up the stronghold and set up camp. The army is in the west of Guangyang, and enter the stronghold twenty miles away. In addition, Xu Huang is notified to abandon Zhuo County. The army marches forward and sets down the stronghold ten miles south of Guangyang!"

"promise!"

In the direction of the military capital, Gongsun Zan and Ju Yi fought for half an hour, and the morale of his soldiers was broken. Gongsun Zan had no choice but to lead his army to retreat to Changping.

"My lord, our army has lost a total of [-] soldiers and horses in this battle!"

Gongsun Zan looked at Ju Yi's army outside the city with a headache. For some reason, the bows and arrows of their soldiers did little damage to Ju Yi's cavalry, but the arrows of Ju Yi's soldiers had such a strong penetrating power that their armor couldn't stop them.

How could he talk about harassing Cao Shuo when he was blocked in the city by Ju Yi, he had to find a way to force him back.

Ju Yi's army stayed outside the city for two days. Seeing that Gongsun Zan had no intention of leaving the city, he led his soldiers all the way south to join Cao Shuo.

"My lord, Ju Yi's army has withdrawn!"

Gongsun Zan was overjoyed that the opponent had finally left. Gongsun Zan left behind a lieutenant general to garrison Changping, and then led [-] cavalry to quietly follow Ju Yi's army.

Gongsun Zan walked eighty miles to the north of Jixian County, when a scout rushed to Gongsun Zan and said, "My lord, Cao Shuo's army has built two camps in Guangyang!"

"what?"

Gongsun Zan looked horrified. Could it be that Zhuojun has already been captured?

"How did Zhuojun fall?"

The guard of Zhuo County, Zhuo County, is a diehard he has cultivated by himself, and he will never open the city and surrender.

"My lord, although most of Zhuo County has been lost, Zhuo County and Liang Township have not been lost. Cao Shuo has given up on these two places."

"give up?"

Gongsun Zan was stunned. Isn't he afraid that the way back will be cut off?

"You rush to Zhuo County as quickly as possible, and ask the guard Zhao Ze to lead half of the defenders to attack the other counties that Zhuo County has captured."

"promise!"

Zhao Ze, the guard of Zhuo County in Zhuo County, also looked confused when he saw Xu Huang's army retreating.

"General, the other side is going to besiege Ji County, do we want to rescue it?"

A lieutenant looked at Zhao Ze eagerly.

Zhao Ze thought for a while and said, "We only have 5000 people, and saving Ji County is a drop in the bucket. It's better to harass Cao Shuo's rear, so that he can't attack Ji County wholeheartedly."

"General, Fan Yang is where Cao Shuo's army stores food. If we take advantage of the darkness and pretend to be a food delivery team, we may be able to burn Cao Shuo's food and force him to withdraw."

Lieutenant General Zhao Ze's strategy caught his eye. If he could really burn the grain and grass, then Cao Shuo would be defeated by himself.

"In the middle of the night, I will leave you with [-] soldiers to defend the city, and I will lead [-] soldiers to attack Fan Yang."

In the middle of the night, Zhao Ze led [-] soldiers and quietly left the city. When they passed by Dingxing, they were ambushed by Zhao Yun.

"Fire arrows!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Zhao Yun yelled loudly, and the Xuanjia soldiers under his command set up their bows and shot arrows one after another.

Puff puff!

A large number of Zhao Ze's soldiers fell down in an instant, "There is an ambush, retreat quickly!"

"kill!"

Zhao Yun followed closely behind Zhao Ze's army and began to pursue.

"Open the city gate quickly, I am Zhao Ze!"

"Hoohoo!"

There were no soldiers coming out from the top of the city, but the city gate was opened, and Zhao Ze hurriedly rode his horse into the city.

"boom!"

Suddenly, torches lit up all around, "Fire arrows!"

Puff puff!

Zhao Ze and his more than 1000 remnants were shot into hedgehogs.

"General Zhao, my deputy Zhao Ze, Min Zong, is willing to surrender to the Great General of Hussars!"

"it is good!"

Zhao Yun took a deep look at the other party and said, "How many soldiers are there in the city?"

"two thousand!"

"Order the soldiers not to harass the people. Zhuo County will still be defended by you. When our Jizhou army returns triumphantly, I will recommend you to the lord."

"Thank you General Zhao!"

Zhao Yun led [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, and began to rush to Liangxiang. When he arrived at Liangxiang, Liangxiang had already been captured by Xu Ding and Qi Zhou.

"Qi Zhou stays in Liangxiang, Xu Ding will support the lord with me!"

"promise!"

Zhao Yun left Qi Zhou with [-] soldiers to guard the city. He and Xu Ding led the remaining soldiers to the camp in Guangyang.

Chapter 165 Father, Our Army's Chariot Formation Has Been Effective

Ju Yi's army marched not far from the Yongding River in the northwest of Jixian County. When he saw two forests in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Wang Fu, Lin Xu, you two will each lead three thousand cavalry and lie in ambush in the woods. When Gongsun Zan passes by, you two will attack from left to right."

"promise!"

Gongsun Zan followed behind him, he knew about it a long time ago, but he didn't startle the snake.

"Report, my lord, Ju Yi's army is building wooden boats on the Yongding River ahead, planning to cross the river!"

Gongsun Zan thought to himself, this is a great opportunity, when the opponent's soldiers are sloppy, this is the time to defeat the enemy.

"kill!"

Gongsun Zan ran all the way to kill Ju Yi's army.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

As soon as Gongsun Zan passed Wang Fu, countless arrows shot towards the woods where Lin Xu was lying in ambush.

"Ambush, retreat!"

This time Gongsun Zan learned to be smart. He no longer confronted Ju Yi head-on, and led his soldiers to break out of the encirclement and head towards the county seat of Ji County.

"Gongsun Zan, where are you going!"

Ju Yi led the army and chased him all the way to the city of Ji County. Gongsun Zan fled back to the city in embarrassment. Seeing the arrogant and arrogant Ju Yi outside the city, he suddenly became angry.

"Gongsun Zan, do you dare to go out of the city to fight?"

"Gongsun Zan, are you going to be a coward?"

"Gongsun Zan, if you don't leave the city, next time I come, I may bring your grandson with me."

"Gongsun Zan, if you are willing to surrender, my lord will definitely not harm you, and let you enjoy your old age in Xindu and enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren."

"Ju Yi, don't be arrogant, Gongsun Xulai will meet you..."

Gongsun Xu couldn't take it anymore, and was about to lead the army out of the city to fight Ju Yi, but was stopped by Gongsun Zan.

"Xu'er, don't fall for the opponent's aggressive strategy, our chariot will take two days."

Gongsun Xu said dissatisfied: "Father, how can you bear the other party's humiliation!"

"Hmph, so passive, how can I become the commander-in-chief of an army in the future."

Gongsun Xu returned to his residence angrily, he was afraid that he could not bear it and went out of the city to meet the enemy.

Gongsun Zan looked at Gongsun Xu and shook his head.

In Linzi, Qingzhou, Yuan Tan came to Yuan Shao's residence with great interest, and said with joy:

"Father, our army's chariot formation has achieved some success. Do you want to practice with Cao Shuo's soldiers and horses?"

"Oh?"
