Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 49 Fighting Yuan Shao

Yuan Shao's army was still some way away from Yecheng, when it encountered the first attack, the sound of drums was chaotic, and arrows rained like locusts, shooting from the hills on both sides.

Yuan Shao's army, who had been prepared for a long time, erected a shield wall with ease, protecting everyone in the middle and blocking the rain of arrows.

"Kill!" Yuan Shao drew out his sword and shouted loudly. The army divided into two square formations and rushed towards the enemy.

"My lord! Why do I feel something is wrong?" Ju Shou came to Yuan Shao and said.

"I also have the same feeling. What on earth is the enemy trying to do? Why don't they fight back?" Yuan Shao wondered as he looked at the hills where there was no movement after the rain of arrows.

soon!A meteor horse scout informed Yuan Shao of the situation, and Yuan Shao, Ju Shou and others rode their horses to the place where the enemy set up an ambush. After looking at everything in front of them, Yuan Shao finally understood that he had been deceived.

Yuan Shao continued on the road without saying a word, suppressing the anger of being deceived in his heart, and encountered such attacks several times along the way, Yuan Shao, who had been prepared in his heart, continued towards Yecheng after the arrow rain.

In a forest outside Yecheng, after receiving the news that Yuan Shao had continued to come towards Yecheng, Pei Yuanqing hurriedly asked: "My lord! Is this Yuan Shao in the trap?"

"Of course! My previous ambushes were just to confuse Yuan Shao and make him relax his vigilance. This place is the real place to fight Yuan Shao's army." Li Song said.

"Hahaha!" The army marched to a woodland, Yuan Shao laughed loudly, Jushou didn't understand, so he asked: "My lord! Why are you laughing?"

"I'm laughing at Li Song's kid, don't plan. If I come to lead the army, I won't do anything useless. I will set up an ambush here." Yuan Shao pointed at Lin Tunnel.

As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, a rain of arrows came from the forest, and the vertical shield, which the shield hand was familiar with, blocked the incoming arrows, after the rain of arrows passed.

"Hahaha! I saw through Li Song's little trick early in the morning, and ordered the whole army to move forward quickly! Kill the Bingzhou army outside Yecheng." Yuan Shao ordered with a smile!The messenger quickly conveyed Yuan Shao's military order to the whole army.

After receiving the military order, the soldiers who were eager to return home ran quickly, wishing to grow wings on their bodies and fly under Yecheng to fight against the hateful Bingzhou army.

Just as they were running with their feet wide open, the rain of arrows shot from the forest again, turning the people shot by Yuan Shao's army on their backs, causing many casualties.

"Woo!" The sound of the horn resounded through the sky, and when I looked up, I saw the banners in the forest, and the enemy troops lined up in a square formation, stepping towards them and killing them.

"Formation! Formation!" Yuan Shao's low-level officers urged the soldiers to form a formation to kill the enemy. When Yuan Shao's army formed formation, the Bingzhou Army had already arrived, and the two sides fought together.

Yuan Shao's army was quickly defeated, losing a lot of soldiers and horses, "Master! Quickly retreat to Yecheng and join General Yan Liang. Li Song's son will set up an ambush here. There must not be many soldiers and horses besieging Yecheng. We can rely on Yecheng to deal with them." Ju Shou said hastily.

"Okay! Send my military order! The whole army retreats to Yecheng!" After Yuan Shao said that, he hurried towards Yecheng. Yuan Shao's army retreated towards Yecheng while fighting.

At this time, Yecheng had already been breached!Yan Liang led an army, met Yu Wencheng outside Yecheng, and was defeated by Yu Wencheng's army. If Yan Liang hadn't run fast, he might have been killed by Yu Wencheng's golden wings.

"My lord! The city of Ye has fallen! The general is incompetent, and I almost won't see my lord!" Yan Liang, who met Yuan Shao on the way, knelt down and cried.

"My lord!" Yuan Shao almost fainted when he heard that Yecheng had fallen, and everyone rushed to support Yuan Shao.

"What? Yecheng is lost! What about my wife and child?" Yuan Shao pushed away the crowd, grabbed Yan Liang and asked.

"Back to my lord! It is said that when the city was broken, Tian Feng and several other adults fled Ye City with his wife and young master! They have not gone where yet." Yan Liang told Yuan Shao all the news he knew.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Jushou hurriedly stood up and said, "My lord! The city of Ye has been lost, there is no way out, and there are pursuers behind. Please, my lord, break out of the encirclement quickly and make a decision."

"Yes! My lord! Although we have lost Yecheng, even the entire Wei County, a large area of ​​Jizhou is still in our hands, and it will not be too late to retake Yecheng!" Wen Chou also hastily persuaded.

He was very unwilling to ask Yuan Shao to give up just like that. Even Gongsun Zan, who was stronger than him at the beginning, was defeated by him, how could he bear the fact of being defeated.

"My lord, please retreat immediately!" Yuan Shao's subordinates knelt down one after another and begged Yuan Shao to retreat. As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about no firewood. As long as you save your life, you will have a chance to come back.

"Report!" At this time, a spy quickly came to Yuan Shao, knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord! The enemy behind us is less than three miles away from us."

"Report!" Immediately afterwards, another spy came to report, "Report to my lord! In the direction of Yecheng, the enemy army is attacking our army, with more than 1 horsemen."

"My lord! If you don't leave, I'm afraid it will be too late. The enemy army is under attack from both sides, and our army is in danger!" Ju Shou persuaded.

"That's all! Put it on! Go north!" Yuan Shao said, and retreated north with the defeated soldiers.

After Yuan Shao retreated, Li Song took the opportunity to occupy the entire Wei County, and after using Yecheng as a temporary residence, he stopped attacking Yuan Shao, giving Yuan Shao a chance to breathe.

Yuan Shao, who wanted to make a comeback and take back Weijun, was stabbed from behind by Gongsun Zan before he could send troops. Gongsun Zan took advantage of Yuan Shao's loss of Weijun.

He personally commanded an army of [-], defeated Yuan Shao's general Cui Juye at Jumashui, and beheaded seven or eight thousand. Gongsun Zan took advantage of the victory and pursued him to Pingyuan, with Tian Kai as his general and Liu Bei as Pingyuan's prime minister.

Yuan Shao hurriedly dispatched troops to fight Gongsun Zan in Jumashui. The two battled for the third battle of Jizhou, and the battle of Jumashui officially started.

At this time, Li Song didn't have the time to take care of their affairs. After occupying Wei County, there were still many things he needed to do. How to appease the people of Wei County was an equally important matter at hand.

Fortunately, the common people said that as long as they can have food to eat, they have no time to care whether Wei County has changed, and whoever governs Wei County is not governing.

The most troublesome thing for Li Song is that the wealthy clan here, they annexed the land, organized armies privately, raised tribes privately, and the most important thing is to hate Li Song.

Often pretending to be bandits and bandits, looting civilians, causing trouble for him, causing public resentment, although he has sent troops to suppress it several times, but the effect is very little. If this continues, his reputation will be affected.

This is something Li Song doesn't want to see no matter what, if I catch you, I will make you look good, Li Song said angrily in his heart.
