Chapter 833 The Momentum Is Huge

Although Gongsun Du was only a prefect of Liaodong before, in fact, through his campaigns in the south and north, he had already taken control of Lelang, Daifang, Liaoxi and other counties, and his strength was far beyond that of a prefect.

Following Gongsun Du's order, the entire Liaodong took action, and an army of 50,000 was assembled in a short period of time!

You know, even Liu Ye and Cao Cao, two powerful princes, want to assemble an army of 50,000 in one moment. It is not a simple matter. The troops and logistics that need to be mobilized are extremely stressful. A mere Gongsundu can actually Mobilize an army of fifty thousand?

The reason is very simple. In fact, the regular army under Gongsun Du's command only numbered 20,000, and the remaining 30,000 were foreign troops, mostly from Goguryeo and Sanhan's ethnic minority soldiers.

The so-called Sanhan are the three ancient Korean tribes living on the Cx Peninsula. Although they are nominally called countries, in fact their social form is quite backward and they are just tribes. Although the total number of people was hundreds of thousands, Gongsun Du could only send 3,000 cavalry, so he killed the three Han tribes and fled, choosing to surrender to Gongsun Du.

"Hurry up, we must reach Feirucheng before sunset!"

Gongsun Kang shouted loudly while riding on horseback. He was surrounded by two thousand Liaodong cavalry. These people were the backbone of Gongsun Du. Gongsun Du dominated Liaodong and only had 8,000 cavalry under his command. The remaining There were 12,000 infantry at the bottom, and the 30,000 foreign soldiers and horses were just used as numbers and cannon fodder.

Gongsun Kang, as the vanguard of the Liaodong Army, led the army to attack Feirucheng this time. He brought with him two thousand cavalry and 13,000 Korean soldiers. The two thousand cavalry were naturally able to move like arms, but the 13,000 Korean soldiers walked very fast. Wait, Gongsun Kang couldn't help but feel murderous.

"Hmph! A bunch of trash, useless."

"Haha, the eldest son can't say that. Without this group of people, who would fill the city with their lives?" Liu Yi said coldly.

Gongsun Kang nodded and said arrogantly: "That's right. The elites of our Liaodong soldiers are really not cost-effective to use to attack the city. These idiots can't use them to attack the city."

Gongsun Kang looked back at the slowly marching Sanhan soldiers and couldn't help but smile coldly.

Fat as a city.

Gao Lan stood on top of the city with a gloomy expression.

As the second-largest general in Yuan Shao's army after Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Gao Lan's status was actually very high. Feirucheng was just a small city in the middle of Liaoxi County, and it was impossible to use a general like him anyway. However, the situation is different now. After the defeat of Yecheng, Yuan Shao retreated to Youzhou, and his power shrank significantly. It was not even as good as the Liaodong army and horses that had been recharging their strength. Therefore, the review suggested that Yuan Shao send Gao Lan to lead the troops to garrison in Liaoxi County. Strictly guard against the invasion of the Liaodong Army.

So Gao Lan appeared in this small town with a depressed look on his face.

"General, General Gao!"

Footsteps suddenly sounded not far away, and Gao Lan frowned: "What's going on?"

A soldier rolled in and said in a trembling voice: "Outside the city. There is a large group of people outside the city, no less than ten thousand people, charging toward Feirucheng. General, hurry up and get to the top of the city!"

"What? No less than ten thousand people?"

Gao Lan suddenly became nervous, stood up and said: "Order the troops and horses in the city to go to the top of the city immediately and prepare for battle!"

After that, Gao Lan covered himself up without saying a word and rushed towards the city.

The defenders on top of the city were nervously looking at a large army outside the city. After seeing Gao Lan, they all breathed a sigh of relief and gathered around Gao Lan as if they had a backbone.

"Don't panic, I'm here, what are you afraid of?"

Relying on his deep personal prestige among Yuan's army, Gao Lan successfully stabilized the morale of the army, then walked near Dougong and watched the army slowly charging from outside the city.

"Gongsun?"

The first thing Gao Lan saw was naturally the high-flying flag of this army, with the word Gongsun embroidered on it. Naturally, there was no doubt that it was the army under Gongsun Du of Liaodong.

Sure enough, it's here, Gao Lan thought to himself.

After Jushou was captured by the Xiliang army, he refused to surrender and was killed. Tian Feng was also ordered to be executed by Yuan Shao. However, Shenpei, Feng Ji and others were not vegetarians. They judged that Gongsun Du was likely to take advantage of the situation, so they ordered Gao Lan to garrison Fat as a city.

"Archers, archers, get ready!"

Gao Lan shouted, then stared closely at the Liaodong Army outside the city.

As the Liaodong Army gradually approached, the face of this army of more than 10,000 people was finally exposed to Gao Lan's eyes.

The two thousand elite Liaodong cavalry, all with one person and two horses, are full of murderous intent. They show extraordinary horse control skills while riding, and they are definitely the best soldiers in a hundred.

However, the remaining 10,000 people looked a bit awkward. Not only were they shorter than the average Han Dynasty people, but the equipment they wore was also very backward. Most of them could wear linen clothes, and their armor coverage rate was probably not even 100%. Less than two.

If it were a head-on confrontation, Gao Lan was determined to defeat these 10,000 people with 3,000 infantry.

Seeing this situation, Gao Lan breathed a sigh of relief. Although the two thousand Liaodong cavalry were elite, it was impossible for them to dismount and attack the city. If it were just these infantry attacking the city, they could resist it.

"Stop!"

At the command, two thousand cavalry and ten thousand miscellaneous soldiers stopped. The two thousand cavalry were well-trained and stopped quickly after hearing the order. The 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers rushed forward for dozens of steps before stopping, which made Gongsun Kang unhappy for a while.

"As fat as a city."

Gongsun Kang looked at the city in front of him, turned around and shouted: "Come forward with me!"

More than a hundred cavalry surrounded Gongsun Kang and rushed forward, about fifty steps away from the city head. The surrounding cavalry held shields to guard Gongsun Kang, and he shouted to the city head: "Where is the guard of Fat Ru City?"

Gao Lan was not afraid and leaned out from the top of the city: "I am as fat as the city guard general Gao Lan. Why do you want to raise an unknown army and invade our borders?"

"Hmph, Yuan Shao usurped the traitor, and his crime cannot be punished! My father was named the governor of Youzhou, and he was ordered by the emperor to attack Buchen. Gao Lan, you'd better surrender quickly, otherwise you won't even have a chance to surrender if you break the city. It's over." Gongsun Kang shouted.

"Hmph! How can I, Gao Lan, be the one who betrays the Lord and surrenders?"

Gao Lan said coldly: "If you have the courage, go and see the real chapter!"

"Stubborn."

Gongsun Kang shook his head and ordered: "The infantry come forward and prepare to attack the city!"

Two thousand cavalry retreated to the rear to suppress the formation, while more than ten thousand miscellaneous infantry slowly stepped forward and surrounded the three gates of Feirucheng. Even a famous general like Gao Lan could not help but frown, but he still held his hand He tightened his grip on the spear.

"Archers come forward!"
