After Yuan Shao pacified Jizhou, Youzhou Xiang Wugu wanted to look south, and Gongsun Zan became an allied army again. He had no worries, but had the strength to attack.

After two months of adjustment and arrangement, Yuan Shao's army gradually moved south. First, it crossed Henan and went south to support Yan Liang's Wen Chou Legion and Zhang He Legion. After these two legions joined the battlefields of Jibei and Mount Tai, Lu Bu's offensive suddenly slowed down. Although Lu Bu's cavalry still occupied the initiative on the battlefield, the offensive and defensive tendency was an inevitable reality.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao, who had abundant troops, would not let go of the territory in the northern part of Qingzhou. Firstly, it is indeed a place with high development. Although it is sparsely populated and mostly aliens are active, production will be resumed soon after the capture is taken down. Secondly, Yuan Shao was severely humiliated by Fang Zhiwen on the edge of the Great Wall in the north of Hengshan, and Yuan Shao also wanted to vent his anger on Kong Rong.

So Yuan Shao tentatively mobilized his troops to advance eastward and followed Bao Xin to join Han Fu. Later, Yu Jin, who fell into his hands, promoted him to form a ** infantry army, and strengthened him to Jinan. He also ordered Lu Xiang, who was formerly stationed in Jinan, to cooperate and wait for an opportunity to attack Linji and Gao Yuan.

Yu Jin made great efforts to reinforce Jinan, but Youzhou did not have corresponding military mobilization, which made Yuan Shao relieved. Kong Rong did not seem to think that Yuan Shao had the intention of accusing Qi and Le'an, and there was no military mobilization. Yuan Shao was overjoyed.

He immediately ordered Yu Jin and Lu Xiang to divide his troops to attack Gao Yuan and Linji, which were controlled by Yiren.

Yuan Shao's army suddenly came, and there were not many troops in these two cities. This kind of place was just a small guild for players, and small gangs took advantage of it. Players were good at playing with each other's offensive and defense, but when they saw the army attacking, they immediately scattered birds and beasts.

Yu Jin and Lu Xiang easily occupied Gao Yuan and Linji. There was still no movement in Youzhou where Yuan Shao paid close attention. Instead, Kong Rong pushed the Zongbei army, which was originally stationed in Shouguang, to Guangrao in the north, and seemed to be satisfied as long as he defended Qi. This suggestion undoubtedly encouraged Yuan Shao's ambitions.

In mid-February, Lu Xiang sent troops to attack Qiancheng first. It seemed quite smooth, and there was almost no decent resistance. Lu Xiang took Qiancheng. Seeing that everything went smoothly, Yu Jin led his army eastward to attack Bochang.

The road was full of people, and the fields were deserted. The countryside was dilapidated like a ghost domain. Only the crows appeared in groups, and occasionally you could see wild dogs and foxes. This once rich place had become a paradise for birds and beasts under the destruction of war.

Yu Jin was originally from Yanzhou, and his hometown was in Juping. Now it is similar to the situation here. After being repeatedly destroyed by the Yellow Turban Army, Yuan Shao Army and Lu Bu Army, the former fertile land of thousands of miles finally turned into a deserted area.

Yu Jin was rigorous and cautious. Although according to the information, Zong Bao from Linzi and Zong Bei from Guangrao were unlikely to send troops to raid. The most common troops with different numbers and combat power could be caused by trouble for him, Yu Jin was still very cautious. All units in the marching maintained a good formation and distance, and the scouts were even far away. Yu Jin, who was promoted to the commander of the city army, was afraid that the ship would capsize in the gutter.

Throughout the day, the troops were marching in this deserted place. The scouts also discovered some alien troops or scouts moving around them, but there was no large-scale troops. This was not beyond the ban's expectations. Nowadays, large-scale troops are unlikely to appear on the battlefield in Le'an County.

Despite this, after getting off the village dark, Yu Jin carefully established a solid camp and arranged a lot of alerts, but at night, an accident still happened.

Not long after Yu Jin fell asleep, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of arrows and alarms from all sides of the camp. Yu Jin had no time to wear his armor and rushed out of the camp tent.

"What happened?"

"General, west, north and east, respectively, arrows were issued to warn us. It seemed that the enemy was approaching. Judging from the warning situation, the number of enemies was large and the speed was very fast. It is estimated that the siege of our camp will be formed in the near future."

"Where are these large numbers of enemy troops coming from? What are the scouts doing?"

"this"

"Okay, now it's not the time to say this. Let the soldiers gather immediately. Don't panic in the dark. Now our army has discovered the enemy's sneak attack in advance, and there are strong camps to support, so we will definitely be able to repel the enemy's sneak attack."

"promise!"

"The command of the on-duty troops to hold the camp. After the other troops have completed the assembly, they will support all sides according to the predetermined plan. The auxiliary troops should pay attention to fire and arrow defense, and the central army should guard the baggage."

"promise!"

Yu Jin's troops were well-trained and soon started to operate in an orderly manner. The figures in the camp were shaking, but they were busy and not messy.

It was Gao Shun's troops who were trying to attack outside the camp. Huang Zhong's troops were moving north and Lu Xiang, who would ambush to reinforce.

Gao Shun touched about ten miles outside the camp and found Yu Jin's dark whistle. Although Gao Shun cleaned it up carefully, he was still alarmed by these whistle bars. Since it had been exposed, Gao Shun immediately accelerated the progress and quickly advanced around the camp, surrounding Yu Jin's camp in the form of three missing ones.

Gao Shun tried to attack once, and Yu Jin's defense was still very calm. Seeing that the opponent was very cautious and had no opportunity to take advantage of, Gao Shun was not in a hurry. Instead, he placed the troops outside the range and constantly used feint attacks to increase the crossbow's sudden attack to destroy the opponent's strength and morale.

After Yu Jin suffered two losses, he quickly set up his long-range weapons. When he saw the direction of the feather arrows flying, he randomly attacked with long-range weapons. Although he didn't know the result of the battle, he could still force the enemy outside to restrain himself. However, the enemy would quickly change direction and repeat this simple but quite effective method again.

Yu Jin knew that he was in trouble. The outside was not the small troops of Yi Ren, nor the troops of the Qingzhou Army that defended strongly and attacked weakly, but the Youzhou Army with strong attack power. This can be seen from the arrows shot in. The density and type of arrows exposed the number and types of troops outside.

What puzzled Yu Jin was where these Youzhou troops emerged. It was obvious that there was no movement in Youzhou, unless they transferred their troops to Qingzhou early, but is this possible? Can they predict whether they would be able to predict beforehand?

"General, why don't we attack?"

The young general who asked the question was called Zhexin. Zheluo's eldest son, Zheluo's eldest son, was named Zheluo, and his eldest son also changed his name to Zhexin. However, after Zhexin graduated from the Military Academy run by the General Staff, he did not follow his father to be a pure cavalryman, but fell in love with the calm and powerful army of the camp.

"It's very simple to attack. Although such a camp looks strong, it's still vulnerable to my camp. However, once we exert our strength, General Huang Zhong will run away in vain."

Zhe Xin suddenly realized: "I understand. Do you have to wait for dawn to let Yu Jin send a letter of help before taking action?"

Gao Shun squinted his eyes and nodded, then shook his head gently. Zhe Xin looked at Gao Shun in confusion. After thinking about it, he suddenly said happily: "I understand, let's call!"

Gao Shun grinned rare and nodded, "If you understand, go and do it!"

"promise!"

Zhe Xin ran away happily. After a while, there was a sound of shouting and persuading surrender around Yujin's camp.

"Listen to the brothers of Yuan Shaojun, we are in Youzhou's trap camp! You and others are treacherous and come to attack Qingzhou. Now they are surrounded by us. The trap camp is invincible in the battle. If you want to survive, you will throw down your weapons and surrender! Otherwise, the camp will be destroyed and all the jades will be burned!"

The same shouting came into Yu Jin's camp with waves of arrows. Although Yu Jin's soldiers were well-trained, they were still timid and panic. You know, they almost never won the victory against the Youzhou Army.

While ordering a group of grassroots generals to appease the soldiers, Yu Jin was also feeling distressed. Although he knew earlier that the outside was not the Qingzhou Army, but the Youzhou Army, the world's strong soldiers, but he didn't know that it was the heavy crossbow and heavy cavalry with the strongest attack ability among the Youzhou Army. I really don't know whether to be glad that he was lucky or to say that he was unlucky!

Facing Gao Shun's trapped camp, Yu Jin was unsure, so he quickly reported the situation of the battle to the higher level, and also informed Lu Xiang, asking him to support him as appropriate. If there were no reinforcements, Yu Jin was almost unconfident in whether he could break through.

While waiting anxiously for the reply from friendly troops and superiors, Yu Jin worked hard to command the troops to fight against the strong hostiles in the dark outside the camp. At the beginning, Yu Jin didn't think much about it, because although the enemy didn't have many tricks, the attack points were very rich, and Yu Jin had to devote all his energy to the command operation.

But as time went by, Yu Jin couldn't help but feel a little strange. The way of playing three sieges and one is normal, and it's not wrong to maintain the pressure of attack. However, from the beginning to the end, the camp tried to attack once at the beginning, and never attacked again. Is his camp very strong? The killing is very powerful?

Yu Jin didn't think so. If it weren't for this reason, then there were only two reasons why Gao Shun didn't attack. One was his lack of troops, the other was that he wanted to surround and attack support, or perhaps both!

Yu Jin thought of this and once wanted to write to Lu Xiang, asking him not to support him, but he also thought that if Gao Shun divided his troops to ambush Lu Xiang, he could cooperate with Lu Xiang and even have a chance to turn defeat into victory!

After thinking for a while, Yu Jin quickly wrote a letter to Lu Xiang. Not long after, a reply came from the military advisor Shen Pei, who was stationed in Gao Yuan, which coincided with Yu Jin's view. Yu Jin was very determined. As long as he dragged until dawn, when Lu Xiang's troops went south and entangled with Gao Shun's ambush, he could take the opportunity to launch a counterattack and defeat the camp with dignified dignity.

In the strange tacit understanding between the two sides, the battle continued so uncertainly, until a bright red morning glow appeared in the sky to the east, and Yu Jin finally received the battle report of Lu Xiang's contact with the enemy.
Chapter completed!
