When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 424 Gongsun Yue: What a great Tian Guorang! (Four thousand)

"Do you know?"

"The archers hiding in the house are dying one after another! The enemy often only needs a few arrows to take the lives of the archers!"

Yuan Shao's soldiers hiding on both sides of the street listened to their colleagues' words. Even the bravest of them felt their scalps tingling, their Adam's apples rolling involuntarily, and they swallowed mouthful of saliva.

It is not easy to become an archer. Your body must be as swift as the wind when running and your eyes must be as sharp as lightning when drawing the bow.

Only those who are physically strong can do this.

In short, the archers were stronger and safer than those who were charging in the front. However, even the archers could not last more than a few rounds at the hands of Gongsun Zan's troops, which was really frightening.

However, what’s worse is that the bad news is not just this one, but comes in waves like snowflakes.

What

"Our army lost the street battle!"

"Zhang Dubo is dead!"

"Hundreds of soldiers were captured!"

"."

What frightened them the most was the second piece of news, the death of Du Bo. They all had an impression of that Du Bo, who was also well-known in the army.

Of course, he is not famous for his military strategies or anything else. This Du Bo has great strength, and I don't know if it is because he has listened to too many Liangzhou folk stories.

Whenever he went to war, he liked to charge in front and shout at the enemy three times, "Little boy, your father Zhang is here!"

This voice was extremely penetrating, making people so angry that they wanted to kill that Du Bo on the spot!

So Zhang Dubo was entrusted with the important task of attracting Gongsun Zan's troops.

They would all prefer to die in the battle between the two armies.

What was frightening was that before Zhang Dubo could even roar, he seemed to be targeted by the enemy. With a few twangs of bowstrings, several arrows were shot from the enemy position, all of which flew towards Zhang Dubo.

Zhang Dubo was unable to react in time, and even though he dodged several arrows, he was unfortunately hit by an arrow in the end. That arrow was different from the other arrows. It seemed as if it had eyes and shot into Zhang Dubo's eyes from a distance.

Zhang Dubo was in excruciating pain and wailed in agony.

The originally arranged formation was completely disintegrated before it could even meet with the short-handled troops of Gongsun Zan's troops.

What was even more tragic was that Zhang Dubo accidentally fell to the ground and died.

Everyone gasped, and some even covered their eyes, for they were afraid that an arrow would suddenly hit them and make them suffer the same fate as Zhang Dubo.

What is scary is not that the archers are strong, but that Gongsun Zan's archers are far beyond their imagination.

Not to mention the incredible range, just the fact that they could be spotted from hundreds of steps away was enough to make people tremble with fear. More than one person was whispering,
"Maybe the enemy has some magical power that can see us from the sky!"

“Can this be won?”

The depressed atmosphere spread among the crowd like a plague, and everyone lowered their heads in dejection.

Seeing this, the squad leaders began to exert their strength. They drew out their ring-handled swords and mercilessly beheaded the person who spread the news. Then they looked at the soldiers coldly and said, "Think about your wives and daughters in Yecheng!"

As soon as these words were spoken, even the loudest person in normal times shut up and remained silent.

When the situation was under control, the squad leaders' faces eased a little. They consoled him, "If you can make a contribution in this battle, even if you die, your son can be exempted from the military registration and will not have to serve as a soldier for generations."

Everyone remained silent, but the vast majority of them clenched their weapons and fought back with their own actions.

"Good!" The squad leaders nodded with satisfaction.

Just when the squad leaders wanted to say some more words of encouragement, the scout's voice spoke first.

"The enemy is coming!"

Ok?
Tian Yu, who was advancing continuously, always felt that something was wrong. He raised his hand to signal all the county soldiers to stop for a while.

Almost at the same time, the county soldiers understood what Tian Yu meant. They moved in unison and stopped immediately, waiting for Tian Yu's next order.

The guard lowered his voice and whispered in Tian Yu's ear: "Captain, telescope."

Just as Tian Yu reached out to take the telescope, his and his guards' expressions suddenly changed, as if they had seen something. They shouted in unison: "Not good! Raise your shields!"

next moment.

The sound of countless strings was like thunder, and the huge sound of the strings rumbled in the ears. Arrows shot out from all directions above the head, crisscrossing like a big net that could not be escaped. Fortunately, the moment Tian Yu and his personal guards opened their mouths, these county soldiers raised their shields.

Even though the net formed by the arrows was impenetrable, the shield wall formed by the county soldiers was as solid as a rock, and the arrows hitting the shields made only dull sounds.

Tian Yu knew that this time it was far from being so simple. He decisively put the telescope in front of his eyes. His vision was extended by the telescope, enough to see things hundreds of steps away!
Tian Yu's gaze passed through the gaps between the shields. Soldiers who had been lying in ambush for a long time rushed out from both sides one after another. They were numerous and powerful, like a surging tide. Yuan Shao's soldiers charged towards Tian Yu and others like waves hitting the coast.

Tian Yu was neither panicked nor timid, but excited. He took a deep breath to calm himself, then put down the telescope and said in a steady voice, "Change the formation! Sword and shield soldiers, take the lead!"

"promise!"

The county soldiers roared, and under the command of Tian Yu, the sword and shield soldiers strode forward. They had firm faces and seemed not to take Yuan Shao's soldiers seriously.

"Archers, shoot!" Tian Yu waved his hand.

More than two hundred archers drew their bows and pulled the strings in one go. Their shooting speed was much faster than that of ordinary archers. Often, they could shoot two arrows in the time that an archer needed to shoot one arrow.

At first, I saw Gongsun Zan's troops pulling bowstrings with thunderous sounds, and arrows were pouring down like a torrential rain. Although it was a bit timid, it was well known that arrows also cost money, and even if they were Gongsun Zan's troops, it was impossible for the archers to shoot non-stop.

However, when these arrows fell on their camp, even the squad leaders who had appeared to be strong but were actually timid suddenly changed their expressions. These arrows were not only fast, but also very accurate!
Much more accurate than their bows and arrows!

When did Gongsun Bogui have so many sharpshooters? !
How is this played?
As for their archers, they had already been overwhelmed by the dense rain of arrows and could not even raise their heads!

Fortunately, they were not completely thrown into disarray. The squad leaders shouted at the top of their lungs, "Raise your shields, raise your shields! Spread out!"

While Yuan Shao's soldiers were in a panic, Tian Yu was not idle. As the saying goes, "I'll kill you while you're sick!" This was said by Zhang Yide in his early years. Although it was a bit vulgar, it also made sense. Tian Yu had a long-standing friendship with General Zhang San, who was able to train the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!

"Raise your guns! Forward!"

Following Tian Yu's order, under the cover of the archers, the sword and shield soldiers marched forward and continued to advance, and the spearmen followed behind with their spears raised.

Seeing the uniform pace of the county soldiers, Yuan Shao's soldiers once again began to murmur in their hearts and swallowed uncontrollably. The squad leaders were still roaring "Attack! Attack!", and the drumbeats became more intense and exciting as the drummers beat vigorously.

Yuan Shao's soldiers faced the sword and shield soldiers with tingling scalps under the arrows.

Many of them kept repeating, "Make merit, make merit. As long as we make merit this time, everything will be fine."

Perhaps the mumbling to oneself worked, Yuan Shao's soldiers seemed to have overcome the fear in their hearts. They gritted their teeth, looked ferocious, and exerted all their strength. The veins in their hands holding the swords were throbbing with anger, and they chopped heavily on the shields of the sword and shield soldiers.

However, to their surprise, the sword and shield soldier who was just a few feet away was unmoved, and a hint of contempt appeared in his calm eyes.

The spearmen behind the sword and shield soldiers quickly drew their spears, piercing through the gaps between the shields at a speed that was unexpected. In just one encounter, dozens of Yuan Shao's soldiers were killed.

This made the squad leaders hiding behind the soldiers so frightened that they could hardly stand. They stumbled and fell to the ground. They wanted to ask their superiors, the Dubo, what to do. But when they turned around, they saw that the Dubos were like frightened cubs. They slipped on their feet and ran faster than horses!
escape.
And slow!

The leaders suddenly realized that their previous plan was to pretend to be defeated. They could retreat now!
"Du Bo, wait for me!"

The weak legs of the squad leaders disappeared at this moment. They walked as fast as flying, almost catching up with Du Bo.

Seeing this, the soldiers seemed to have lost the courage to continue fighting, and they turned around and ran away.

At this moment, the sound of Yuan Shao's soldiers' drums became smaller and smaller. Tian Yu took a closer look and found that the drummers had all escaped.

Looking at Yuan Shao's soldiers fleeing in panic, the personal guards wanted to continue chasing them, but were stopped by Tian Yu.

The guard asked in confusion: "Why didn't the captain chase him?"

"How strange, how strange." Tian Yu frowned and expressed his doubts. "These people's behavior is too strange. I'm afraid they are cheating. We don't need to pay attention to them for now."

"Yes." Even though he was extremely reluctant, since Tian Yu had spoken, the guards did not say anything more.

"Vietnamese brother"

"How long do you think it will take Guo Rang to eliminate the remaining forces of Yuan Shao in the city?"

Gongsun Zan said cheerfully.

However, he didn't know that these words fell into Gongsun Yue's ears, making Gongsun Yue feel extremely painful.

Gongsun Yue couldn't help sighing in his heart, "Brother, you are confused, brother, you are confused. Tian Guorang was just a minor official before, how capable could he be?"
"Hmm? Why didn't Yue say anything?"

Facing Gongsun Zan's question, Gongsun Yue looked at Gongsun Zan helplessly and replied angrily: "In my opinion, Tian Guorang will be in a hurry to ask us to go to support him in no time."

"Haha, brother Yue, that's not necessarily true."

"." Gongsun Yue took a deep look at Gongsun Zan. Since Liu Biao came, his brother was no longer so gloomy. He retracted his thoughts and sighed helplessly: "Whatever your brother thinks, then so be it."

"This is meaningless. Why don't we make a bet and guess how long it will take for Guorang to succeed?"

"Brother, no need to guess. In my opinion, Tian Guorang cannot defeat the rebels in the city. How can a small official be so powerful?" Gongsun Yue added in his heart, not to mention that this person was promoted to the position by the envoy, he must be a scholar who is as eloquent as the gentry!
"What if Guo Rang can defeat the rebels?!"

"Haha, even if my last name wasn't Gongsun, Tian Guorang wouldn't be able to defeat the rebels!"

The moment the words fell, a messenger came hurriedly to report, "General! Captain Tian wants to see you!"

Gongsun Yue raised his lips slightly. See, he was right. It has only been a short time, and Tian Guorang is back? Isn't this a defeat?
Gongsun Zan glanced at Gongsun Yue and said nothing. Instead, he turned to the messenger and said, "Quickly call in Captain Tian!"

When Tian Yu walked into the tent with a bitter face, Gongsun Yue wanted to laugh out loud, because such an expression must have meant he was humiliated!
Gongsun Yue stepped forward quickly, patted Tian Yu on the shoulder, and said with some pride: "Guorang, one victory or defeat doesn't mean anything. Tell me what happened! I can help you vent your anger!"

"Thank you, General Gongsun Yue." Tian Yu clasped his fists towards Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Yue, and told them what had happened before.

Gongsun Yue pricked up his ears, afraid of missing any word.

Well, it's good. As soon as I entered the city, someone shot a sneak attack.
Gongsun Yue nodded with satisfaction and thought to himself: This is exactly what I expected!
However, as he listened, the corners of Gongsun Yue's mouth twitched. Why did he feel that something was increasingly wrong?

Tian Yu cut through the enemy like cutting melons and vegetables, and finally defeated the remnants of Yuan Shao's army without any hesitation.
As for why Tian Yu did not pursue, Tian Yu's answer was that he was afraid there might be a trick.
If you think about it carefully, it's possible.
But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like something a petty official could do, right?
Gongsun Yue felt like his brain had crashed. If it were him, he would not be able to help but chase after her in this situation. After all, what if?
"Yuedi, Yuedi."

Gongsun Zan's voice brought Gongsun Yue's thoughts back to the present. Gongsun Yue calmed himself down and subconsciously wanted to ask, "Brother, what's the matter?" However, when he saw Gongsun Zan's interested smile, he decisively closed his mouth.

"Huh?" Tian Yu's eyes were full of confusion when he tried to ask.

Gongsun Zan fanned the flames and said, "Guorang, just ask Brother Yue and everything will become clear."

Tian Yu nodded and said, "Gongsun."

Before he could finish the rest of his words, he was interrupted by Gongsun Yue, who said with a stern face: "Today, you don't have to call me General Gongsun!"

Tian Yu: “Hmm?”

Tian Yu's expression made Gongsun Yue extremely angry. He could now conclude that Tian Yu was pretending and deceiving him, making him mistakenly believe that Tian Yu had no talent!

What a good idea!

But I'm not someone who can't stand losing!

Gongsun Yue gritted his teeth and told Tian Yu what had happened before, which made Gongsun Zan laugh out loud.

the other side

"Ming Gong!"

A messenger rushed into the tent in a hurry, his forehead was covered with sweat, his face was full of fear, and even his voice was trembling.

Yuan Shao and Xun Chen looked at each other, their pupils shrank slightly, and they said inwardly, "Oh no!"

Yuan Shao took two steps at a time and quickly walked up to the messenger and helped him up. There was no trace of blame in his words, but rather a tone of encouragement.

"Please stand up. What's the matter that makes you so panicked?"

"Take your time, take your time"

This move undoubtedly calmed the messenger's heart a lot. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, his expression eased a lot, and his trembling voice became steady.

"Mingsir, Military Advisor." The messenger's face was bitter, "The soldiers who stayed in the city to fight against Gongsun Bogui in the streets have now been captured and killed. The city has fallen into Gongsun Bogui's hands."

"!"

Yuan Shao's heart trembled, and he looked at Xun Chen and shouted, "You Ruo!"
