Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 459 Gongsun Zan's Recklessness

Returning to the main text, let's take a step back, even if Gongsun Zan is brave enough to lead troops directly into the city, but at this time the soldiers under Gongsun Zan's command far exceed the total number of soldiers and horses of the three families, and it is still unknown who will surround whom.

If Gongsun Zan sent some scouts into the city, all the ambushes and traps arranged by Ma Xiu would be ineffective.

Therefore, it is still unknown how effective the plan of Ma Xiu, a half-assed military division, can play.

……

On this day, Gongsun Zan brought Ju Yi and the second general Shan Jing to Yinguan City ten miles away.

"Stop marching, send scouts to scout for information!" Gongsun Zan ordered.

"No!" Ju Yi cupped his hands.

After finishing speaking, Ju Yi waved his hand, and more than ten scouts galloped away.

Not long after, the scouts with embarrassing faces turned back one after another.

One of the scouts cupped his hands at Gongsun Zan and said, "My lord, all the gates of the Underworld are open..."

Gongsun Zan frowned and said, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

After hearing this, the scout hurriedly said: "My lord, what I said is true, if you don't believe me, you can ask other brothers!"

So Gongsun Zan turned his attention to the other scouts, and in the end, the other scouts also swore that the gate of the Underworld was open.

Gongsun Zan was very puzzled, and said incredulously, "Ju Yi, follow me to have a look!"

Ju Yi cupped his hands and said, "The last general takes orders!"

After saying that, Ju Yi followed Gongsun Zan towards the Yin Hall, and it turned out that the gate of the Yin Hall was indeed open.

Gongsun Zan was full of suspicion, and asked Ju Yi, "What are these people doing?"

Ju Yi thought for a while and said: "My lord, the so-called 'soldiers are tricky', maybe the enemy army has set up some ambushes in the city."

After Gongsun Zan thought for a while, he immediately said to Ju Yi: "Call out the soldiers, even if these men have laid a net in the city, I have to go in and find out!"

Ju Yi cupped his hands and said, "No!"

After Ju Yi had assembled the troops, Tian Kai persuaded Gongsun Zan, "My lord, why not send some scouts into the city to investigate."

Gongsun Zan shook his head and said, "Ge Wu, Zheng San, and Ma Yi's combined forces are only half of our army, so what if there is an ambush?"

Afterwards, Gongsun Zan ordered the infantry in the front, the crossbowmen in the center, and the cavalry in the rear, and slowly entered Yinguan City in this formation.

Seeing Gongsun Zan leading his troops into the city, the spies in the dark of Yinguan City hurriedly reported the matter to Ma Xiu.

After entering the city, Gongsun Zan found nothing unusual.

But Gongsun Zan still ordered: "Raise your shield and slow down!"

With Gongsun Zan's order, two thousand soldiers raised their large shields one after another, protecting them in front of them.

But before the pawns could go far, the pawns who had put all their attention on the front fell into the pit one after another.

The pawns who fell into the pit didn't even have a chance to shout "Damn, who is digging the pit here", because the sharp wood at the bottom of the pit directly harvested their lives.

"There's an ambush, line up!" Gongsun Zan said anxiously.

"My lord, since there is an ambush in the city, let's retreat first before making any plans!" Tian Kai persuaded.

"There is no way out! If we don't take down the Yin Mansion today, we will all be buried here!" Gongsun Zan shouted loudly.

After Gongsun Zan led his troops away from the city gate, the ambush soldiers hiding in the dark appeared and closed the city gate, and then disappeared again.

"My lord, the gate of the city has been closed!" The scout flew to report.

"It doesn't matter, these people are hiding in the city, they can't escape!" Gongsun Zan said sharply.

To use an inappropriate analogy, Gongsun Zan is like a gambler who has lost everything, almost putting all his eggs in one basket.

Of course, the current situation of Gongsun Zan is not so bad.

If Gongsun Zan had chosen to besiege the city instead of entering it at the beginning, everything would have been rewritten.

It's a pity that Gongsun Zan didn't listen to dissuasion, and went in rashly, otherwise it wouldn't be the current situation.

The traps Ma Xiu sent did not cause too much trouble for Gongsun Zan and his party. After the first batch of infantry fell into the trap, the rest of the soldiers were naturally prepared to take precautions, so it was difficult for the trap to be effective.

Gongsun Zan formed a good formation and ordered the soldiers under his command to advance slowly.

In a restaurant on the second floor, the second floor of the house was filled with soldiers holding strong bows and crossbows.

"Cheer up your spirits! When Gongsun Zan comes over later, he must be shot!" a man who looked like a leader ordered.

Here, it is Ma Xiu's backhand, and it is also Ma Xiu's ultimate move.

All the previous actions, such as opening the city gates and setting traps, were all preparations for the crossbowmen who were ambushing here.

If he could successfully shoot Gongsun Zan, then all of Ma Xiu's efforts would not have been in vain.

After the leader gave the order, all the archers in the room concentrated their attention and waited with bated breath for the coming Gongsun Zan.

Their minds are like mirrors, as long as they can shoot Gongsun Zan, they will have inexhaustible glory and wealth in the future.

Not only themselves, but future generations and family members will follow suit.

Such a great opportunity is in front of them, how can they not cherish it?
How can you tell who shot it?It's very simple, just look at the name engraved on the arrow.

Gongsun Zan, who was on the way, was suddenly surrounded by a strong sense of crisis, and Gongsun Zan immediately raised his vigilance.

Because during the years of fighting, this sense of crisis saved Gongsun Zan's life many times.

This is a mysterious feeling, it may be an instinctive reaction, or it may be something else.

Gongsun Zan crossed Ma Long to protect him, and at the same time ordered loudly: "White Horse Yi Cong, line up!"

"No!" All the white horses shouted in unison.

Of course, this white horse righteousness is not that white horse righteousness.

This White Horse Army was newly created by Gongsun Zan after he came to Bingzhou. Although the members were also veterans who had experienced many battles, the number of them was different.

Three hundred white horse righteousness and three thousand white horse righteousness are two completely different concepts, but Gongsun Zan has no good way.

Gongsun Zan barely managed to collect more than [-] white horses under the extremely poor rule of the county, and these [-] white horses could only be ridden by one person, and he didn't even have a war horse to transfer.

What Gongsun Zan didn't know was that the former Baima Yi had expanded his army to five thousand;
Its leader is the former general of Gongsun Zan--Zhao Zilong with White Horse and Silver Spear.

After Gongsun Zan gave the order, the three hundred white horses Yicong immediately guarded Gongsun Zan in the center, vigilantly watching the movement around him.

Although this White Horse Yi Cong is newly formed, most of its members are veterans who followed Gongsun Zan. They are ready to sacrifice their lives for their lord at any time without complaint or regret.

But can these three hundred white horses be able to stop the coming cold arrow?
The answer is not necessarily.

Although the three hundred white horse justices are brave and experienced fighters, the troops of the white horse justices are light cavalry, so the three hundred white horse justices will never be equipped with shields.

Without a shield, even if the light cavalry defended themselves against arrows, they might not be able to protect Gongsun Zan.

After all, the arrow is shot from high altitude, not directly from the ground.

Under such circumstances, whether Gongsun Zan can save his life depends entirely on his good fortune.

　The second watch arrives!Good night old man.
