Chapter 357: Two-Line Battle

Ju Yi and Gongsun Zan sent troops to support them at the same time.

After Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun received the news, they quietly withdrew their troops.

Ju Yi and Gongsun Zan each sent 10,000 troops to the battlefield.

After they sent troops out, they received news soon.

"What? Gongsun Zan sent another 10,000 troops to rush over. What is this for?" Ju Yi was shocked when he received the news.

Because the food transportation team is not very big, it is not worth the big fight between the two sides.

But the other party sent soldiers and horses, of course he had to deal with it.

"I'll personally bring 30,000 troops there. I want to see what Gongsun Zan is going to do."

At the same time, Gongsun Zan also received news that Ju Yi had increased his troops.

Upon receiving the news, Gongsun Zan also immediately dispatched more troops, first sending 20,000 soldiers and horses, and then rushed with 10,000 soldiers and horses himself.

Both sides sent more soldiers and horses, no accident, when the forward entered the battlefield, a big battle broke out between the two sides.

The place where the battle took place was only three miles away from the food transportation team, and at this time the people who attacked the food transportation team had already retreated.

Not much food and grass were burned, and more than a thousand people died in battle.

At this time, the food transportation team didn't know what was going on. What they didn't know was that a big battle would break out around them.

Fighting ahead, the reinforcements behind also rushed over quickly.

When the main generals of both sides received the news of the outbreak of the war, they immediately led their troops to rush over.

A war broke out between the two sides as scheduled, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses rushing to and fro.

"Finally, a big battle broke out. Once the battle starts, they can't stop it if they want to." Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong said after retreating for more than ten miles.

"Yeah, if a big war breaks out, the pressure on my lord will be lessened, and we can go to other places to make other plans." Huang Zhong said.

The two led the army and left quietly, as if they had never been there.

And Gongsun Zan and Ju Yi personally brought soldiers and horses to fight on the battlefield.

The war continued, and later the army joined in.

Fighting continued from morning to night before both sides withdrew their troops.

After withdrawing their troops, the two sides went back to collect their troops and horses, and found that each of them had lost more than 10,000 troops.

"Find out whether it was the army that made the claim." Gongsun Zan began to investigate the cause of the incident after returning.

Several lieutenants reported: "General, according to our investigation, our army did not have any troops to sneak attack on the opponent's grain and grass. According to the investigation, although Yuan Jun's grain and grass were in full swing, very little grain was actually burned."

Gongsun Zan's face was gloomy, and he didn't find out that his own people had robbed food and grass. This was a terrible result.

It proved that someone was conspiring, and the object of their greatest suspicion was Yuan Shaofang.

"Order all the troops to strengthen their vigilance, and attack immediately if they find the enemy's trace." Gongsun Zan's character is relatively explosive, and he will never allow Yuan Shao to invade, so he issued a strong order.

After Ju Yi went back, he also started investigating.

"General, Gongsun Zan deliberately made such a big commotion in order to attract our troops. Fortunately, the general sent a large number of troops, so we didn't suffer any disadvantage," the deputy general reported.

Ju Yi nodded and said, "My lord, they are besieging Zhang Yu. We must not cause chaos here. Order the frontline troops to strengthen their guard and not give Gongsun Zan any chance."

The result of Ju Yi's investigation is very simple, that is, Gongsun Zan wants to support Zhang Yu, so he must guard against Gongsun Zan and prevent him from attacking.

Both sides in the war ordered strict observance.

The scouts on both sides became extremely active.

Several small-scale battles broke out on the first day, and many such battles with tens of hundreds of people also took place on the second day.

On the battlefield, both sides were tense.

In order to counterattack, Gongsun Zan decided to plan a big battle and took the opportunity to break the deadlock.

In fact, Gongsun Zan had long been prepared for a big war. Zhang Yu invaded Jizhou and attracted Jizhou's army. It was his opportunity.

It's just that Gongsun Zan also has the mentality of being a fisherman, so he just secretly increased his troops and has not yet started operations.

Now that the two sides are getting tense, Gongsun Zan can't wait any longer.

Gongsun Zan's actions quickly made Ju Yi discover,

Ju Yi also began to defend carefully.

A few days later, Gongsun Zan launched an attack, with an army of 100,000, attacking in three directions.

A war broke out between the two sides.

Jizhou was shocked immediately, because Jizhou fell into a two-front battle.

Once Gongsun Zan attacked, the offensive was very fierce, and wars broke out for days.

When the war broke out between them, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun had already hidden and approached Zhang Yu secretly.

They rested during the day and marched at night, trying their best to hide their whereabouts.

Within a few days, Yuan Shao received the news at the front.

Kuai Ma sent news to Yuan Shao day and night.

"Damn it, Gongsun Zan actually launched an attack at this time." Yuan Shao cursed after receiving the information.

In fact, Yuan Shao and the others had expected that Gongsun Zan would take the opportunity to attack.

But Yuan Shao believes that their hundreds of thousands of troops can quickly wipe out Zhang Yu, and it will be no problem to return to aid at that time.

Who knew that Gongsun Zan launched the attack later than expected, but Zhang Yu was much more difficult to destroy than they expected.

After several days of continuous onslaught, Yuanshou County was still firmly in Zhang Yu's hands, and Yuan Shao and the others made little progress.

Yuan Shao's face darkened upon receiving the information.

Fighting on two fronts is a taboo for military strategists.

You don't need to think about it, you know, people's hearts must be floating at this time.

"My lord, Gongsun Zan is coming fiercely. If General Ju Yi has no backup, he may not be able to hold on for a long time." Yan Liang said to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao didn't know that this Gongsun Zan was connected to them and could have continuous support, which was more harmful than Zhang Yu.

But Zhang Yu went deep into Jizhou, and he was unhappy, not to mention leading the soldiers and horses in person at this time, how could he stop there.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Shao felt ruthless, and ordered: "Let me attack day and night. Within three days, I must break through the city and destroy Zhang Yu."

Yuan Shao made up his mind to fight Zhang Yu to the death.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou took orders and began to direct the army to attack.

In Yuanshi County, Zhang Yu was still in the county government, but Dian Wei sent soldiers to report.

"My lord, Yuan Jun suddenly launched a fierce attack. General Dian asked his subordinates to ask for instructions from the lord."

"Haha, it must be Han Sheng's attack, Yuan Shao can't take it anymore." Zhang Yu was not nervous at all when he heard the news.

After laughing, Zhang Yu put on his clothes and went to the city wall to check.

After inspecting the city wall, Zhang Yu found that Yuan Jun's offensive was indeed much more violent.

"The archers attack me fiercely, don't worry about not having enough arrows."

Zhang Yu knew very well that the pressure would be very high these days, and Yuan Shao would definitely attack regardless of the cost.

Of course, as long as these few days are weighed, the problem together can be solved.

Yuan Jun's phalanx rushed forward one after another.

And all kinds of siege equipment have also been moved up.

There is a posture of breaking through the city in one fell swoop.

But how could Zhang Yu give them a chance? The archers on the top of the city never stopped.

No strength to pull the bowstring, so I changed to a group of archers and continued to attack.
