Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 234
Li Damu is now secretly rejoicing that he has the foresight. There are nearly 9 people in the camp. As long as Gongsun Xu's army invades the camp, it will be enough for them to work. Besides, Gongsun Xu didn't always boast that he would appease If he is a refugee, then he will definitely not massacre the people in the camp. In this way, it will delay Gongsun Xu's time even more.

Li Damu knew in his heart that as long as he could escape directly to the border of Changshan, Gongsun Xu would probably not pursue him anymore. Anyway, Changshan is the territory of Jizhou, no matter how powerful Gongsun Xu is, he has no right to cross the border to pursue him. kill yourself.

However, just when Li Damu was rejoicing alone, there was a shout of killing from the front, Li Damu was startled, what's going on, could there be an ambush ahead.

However, after Li Damu saw clearly the enemy's banner in front of him, he was not so shocked. It turned out that it was Gongsun Zan's men who killed him. .

Gongsun Zan's men started from Youbeiping, crossed Yuyang, crossed Shanggu, and finally passed through Dai County and went straight to Yanmen. Last night, Gongsun Zan received a letter from Gongsun Xu to attack the Black Mountain Army camp, so Gongsun Zan appeared in the On the way of the Montenegrin Army's escape.

The [-] Youzhou cavalry had been waiting for a long time, and Li Damu's side was only [-] defeated. How could he dare to fight Gongsun Zan? Before he could make a decision, Gongsun Zan's army launched an attack. The people and horses fought together.

Half an hour later, the lucky Li Damu escaped again, but this time, there were less than 5000 people left around him, and there were more than 2000 cavalry left. To be able to escape from Gongsun Zan's army, Li Damu wondered if it was his own. Force has grown too much.

However, the Black Mountain Army abandoned by Li Damu was not so lucky. No matter how brave they were, they were no match for the Youzhou cavalry. What was even more frightening was that not long after Li Damu broke through, Gongsun Xu led the forward army to kill them.

The Xuanfeng Army is the elite of the Northern Xinjiang Army. As soon as they entered the battlefield, it was really one-sided. Within two quarters of an hour of the battle, all the more than 2 Black Mountain Army surrendered. No one wanted to die, especially It is to face such a terrible enemy as the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Fortunately, the Gongsun father and son were kind enough. After entering the battlefield, the selected front army waved their weapons while shouting to surrender and not to kill. In this way, the Montenegrin Army no longer had a reason to resist, even though these 2 people were from Montenegro The elite of the army, but how could they be the opponents of the Xuanfeng Army and Youzhou Cavalry.

After completely defeating these troops, Gongsun Xu summoned the forward army again. At the same time, he also immediately went to see his father. When the two fathers and sons met, they didn't have much to say. Gongsun Xu just asked, "How is the situation in Jizhou?"

Gongsun Zan frowned and replied: "It's not optimistic, there are still nearly 30 Black Mountain troops, and Yuan Shao seems to be taking advantage of the fire this time, and even encroached on Bohai, Zhangwu and other places, and now he has reached out to Hejian.

However, the strange thing is that the Black Mountain Army gathered at Changshan seems to be retreating. I met a part of this Black Mountain Army on the way here. Due to the haste of the encounter, I had to lead my subordinates to fight against them, but they were unwilling to fight. They all ran away after being defeated by me.

I was eager to rush to this side, so I didn't pursue it. Moreover, according to what I found, the Black Mountain army defeated by me was not weak in combat strength and had a large number of people. I think it should be Zhang Yan's subordinates. There should not be many Montenegrin troops left, and there are probably 10,000+ in Zhongshan. "

"Zhongshan? Changshan?" Gongsun Xu laughed and said, "That's the best. Father, can you lend me [-] cavalry? I was invited by Master Mu Hanfu of Jizhou, and I'm going to help him destroy the Black Mountain Army. Now it's the best cavalry. Great opportunity."

How could Gongsun Zan not understand the smallness in his son's heart, he just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to occupy Changshan and Zhongshan. Anyway, Yuan Shao had already done it shamelessly, and Han Fu couldn't control these two places. Might as well just swallow it all.

In fact, Zhongshan and Changshan are adjacent to Youzhou and Bingzhou, which have extraordinary strategic significance. Gongsun Zan has long wanted to seize these two places, and now is indeed the best opportunity.

Hearing his son's request for reinforcements, Gongsun Zan replied solemnly: "In this case, I should leave ten thousand Xiangyong for you. Besides, these Black Mountain troops are difficult to manage, so I will leave another ten thousand Xiangyong to escort the [-] captives. Youzhou is also easily attacked by the Black Mountain Army, so I must quickly lead the army back to guard Dai County and other places, and I will leave the matter here to you."

Gongsun Zan was clearly supporting Gongsun Xu's actions. At the moment, Gongsun Xu didn't point it out. He immediately called up the selection army, and then, after leaving [-] young men to guard the prisoners, he sent the [-] young men that Gongsun Zan had lent to him to go. After replacing the servant army at the camp of the Black Mountain Army and Guan Ping's cavalry, he and Gongsun Zan left to pursue the Black Mountain Army.

At the same time, in order to make up for the lack of troops, he immediately sent an order to Guan Yu to lead [-] recruits to join him directly at Changshan. Thirteen thousand, [-] infantry, in terms of overall strength, it is not considered weak.

The 5000 people from Li Damu's side rushed quickly, and finally got to Changshan. He immediately sent someone to ask Zhang Yan for help. There is no power of the Black Mountain Army at all.

In this way, Li Damu is still alone and helpless on Changshan's side. If Gongsun Xu crosses the border to call at this time, then Li Damu is really doomed.

Just when Li Damu was worried that Gongsun Xu would cross the border and chase him, a message came from the scouts behind. Gongsun Xu led more than 3 cavalry to chase and kill Changshan. Now the two sides are only fifty miles away. The speed of the cavalry can catch up in less than an hour.

Li Damu cursed in his heart that he would come here for whatever he was afraid of, and he never thought that Gongsun Xu would be so courageous this time, that he would directly cross the border to chase and kill him. Isn't he afraid of causing conflicts between Jizhou and Bingzhou?

If Li Damu knew what Gongsun Xu was thinking, then he would definitely vomit blood in anger. It’s not that Gongsun Xu is not afraid of disputes between the two states. On the contrary, now that Jizhou is in such a mess, it’s the best time to fish in troubled waters. Gongsun Xu won’t Let it go.

Now, Li Damu must either find a city in Changshan and defend it against Gongsun Xu's army, or continue to flee to Zhongshan to join Lei Gong and Huanglong's troops. It is still possible to enter the territory of Montenegro.

While Li Damu was still hesitating, news came from the scouts that [-] Northern Frontier troops had appeared in Leping to the west, and the leading general was Guan Yu. With all the soldiers and horses here, Chang Shan is not suitable for him to stay.

In fact, Li Damu knew why he was defeated. When he split his troops from Zhongshan with Thunder God and Huanglong, the Black Mountain Army he led was only 7 to 4 people, of which only [-] to [-] were truly soldiers. .

At the beginning, Li Damu actually left half of his strength on the Zhongshan side. He led the remaining half of his soldiers and horses to march towards Bingzhou. I knew very well in my heart that his 10,000+ people had too much moisture.

When attacking Yanmen at that time, 10,000+ people took turns, but they couldn't do anything against Yanmen. The key is that no more than half of the 10,000+ people are young and strong, and the only thing that can make Li Damu feel at ease is the 3 people he brought over from Zhongshan. It's just Wan Duo's old subordinates.

When breaking through the siege, Li Damu was glad that his [-] old subordinates were still with him. In this way, as long as he could get the subordinates who stayed there in Zhongshan, he would still have tens of thousands of horses in his hands. At first, it can't be regarded as a big defeat.

It is a pity that he met Gongsun Zan on the way. An encounter doomed Li Damu to not retreat unscathed. In addition, Gongsun Xu led the army to join later, and directly defeated Li Damu's 5000 old subordinates, except for fleeing with Li Damu Except for more than [-] people, the rest were either killed or captured, and Li Damu's strength was further weakened.

After all, the trapped people do not have much fighting power. Regarding this point, a refugee leader like Li Damu actually understands it very well, so he will abandon the more than 9 refugees in the camp and use them as abandoned sons to delay the northern border. The speed of the army, in order to obtain the time to escape.

But the situation in Zhongshan is a bit different. Although many people were coerced, most of the old subordinates of Li Damu, Huang Long, and Lei Gong were here, and the capable fighters of the Black Mountain Army were also gathered in Zhongshan.

Li Damu figured it out clearly, as long as he can escape to Zhongshan, and then summon the more than 4 old men who stayed there, and then join Lei Gong and Huang Long to occupy several cities to fight against Gongsun Xu, in this case, Gongsun Xu can't do anything to them That's it.

When the time is right, the Black Mountain Army will be able to retreat northward to Montenegro. This is Li Dayu's wishful thinking. What to do with him, but he must be able to enter a decent city.

Moreover, Li Damu has not yet realized why he was able to retreat unscathed in successive fierce battles, and why his side was extremely downsized without fighting once. He never thought that this was Gongsun Xu who was plotting against him and using he.

Only when Li Damu continues to escape, Gongsun Xu will have the excuse and reason to pursue him. Only then can Gongsun Xu lead his men into Jizhou. In this way, Li Damu will not be able to die for the time being. What Gongsun Xu has to do now is to slowly consume the strength of the Black Mountain Army , and when the time is right, annihilate them in one fell swoop.

This also explains why Gongsun Xu clearly has the advantage of the cavalry but always makes Li Damu escape. The key is not that Li Damu has become stronger, but that he still has value. If Li Damu can understand this, I don’t know if he still has The mind is running away like this.
