Chapter 260
Chapter 260
"Order the army to assemble, and I will personally lead the army to support!"
Gongsun Du figured it out, even if he went to seek peace, he would lead the army with him.
Only in this way can he appear to have more weight.
After hearing this, Gongsun Kang went to the camp and gathered the elite of their Liaodong Gongsun clan.
Together with other soldiers and horses, the fastest speed can gather an army of 30,000.
It seems to be little, but it is already quite a lot.
After all, they are only two counties, and it is already very good to feed so many people and horses.
As usual, a county would never have so many people.
The order to assemble the army is issued, and it will take a long time to assemble.
The reason is simple, not all armies are in Xiangping.
They also need to wait for the arrival of the soldiers and horses of Xuanji County, so as to reach the number of 30,000.
On the official road north and south of Xiangping, Zhang Liao waited for a long time, but still did not see any movement.
He did not dare to send a large number of spies so as not to expose them.
It's just that it's almost dark now, so Gongsun Du won't march at night, right?
"Let the brothers save some food."
When Zhang Liao broke away from Zhao Tong's team, he only brought food for eight hundred people.
If they camped in place, they could hold out for three days.
But coupled with the rush and so on, a lot of food was consumed.
Now that these can last until this time tomorrow, it is already very economical.
Little by little, the time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already late at night.
Zhang Liao ordered the tiger army to cheer up, which may be the time for Gongsun Du to march.
Once not caught, there is no chance of beheading.
At dawn.
The spirit of the tiger army is not very good, even if they are elite, they cannot survive like this.
"General Zuo, it's better for you and your brothers to rest for a while, I'm here to watch."
A general couldn't stand it, and he felt extremely sorry for his soldiers.
"I'm not sleepy."
Zhang Liao also didn't close his eyes all night, just because he was afraid that once he fell asleep, Gongsun Du would suddenly come and be a little unresponsive.
So he would rather hold on than sleep.
Moreover, he is still a general of the First Army, and he should set an example.
"You let them sleep."
Zhang Liao finally let go, and he chose to stare at himself.
The generals of the Tiger Army are also not pretentious, they cultivate their spirits and can better deal with Gongsun Du.
Night fell again, but Zhang Liao still did not wait for Gongsun Du.
However, two more messengers crossed the official road, and it was more urgent than before.
At this time, Gongsun Du was still gathering soldiers and horses in Xiangping, only the last way to go.
The last soldiers and horses did not arrive, and the messenger arrived again.
This time the news made Gongsun Du even more collapsed.
Anshi County, actually lost.
The speed of this loss was so fast that it could not even hold on for two days.
"Father, we can't wait any longer, let's hurry up."
Gongsun Kang felt that at the current rate of losing land, one day late for them, a county would be taken.
"How many centaurs do we have now?"
"More than 20,000, not a lot, if you wait for the remaining soldiers and horses to arrive, I am afraid that even Xinchang will be lost."
"Oh, that's it, twenty thousand is twenty thousand."
Gongsun Du had already asked people to prepare the heavy army, put it at the end, and he led the front army first.
Originally, he didn't plan to take Gongsun Kang, but this son can still fight, and it may help a little with him.
As for Xiangping, only a few of his cronies were left to guard it.
After arranging everything, he ordered the army to go out of Xiangping.
After this toss, the time has come to the middle of the night.
Waiting for the daytime march was obviously not possible, he waited urgently, but he was afraid that the counties could not wait.
So he ordered the army to march late at night, as long as it hurried.
By the time the army arrived in Xinchang, it was estimated that the sky had already dawned.
"The troops have been dispatched, let's hurry up and return to the great general."
The two spies of the Tiger Army here saw countless torches lit up on the official road in the distance.
They must rush back as soon as possible and let those behind them prepare first.
"Order them not to sleep, just eat half full."
After receiving the news that Gongsun Du sent troops, Zhang Liao fed all the soldiers because these people were already sleepy.
People will be sleepy when they are full, and when they are half-full, their spirits will be better.
"I can only eat half full..."
the general of the Tiger Army replied, they didn't have much food, and it was simply not enough to eat them all.
"Kill Gongsun Du, I'll let them eat openly, and they can support death!"
Zhang Liao also learned from Dong Yao and drew big cakes for others.
"I also hope that the general will not forget us brothers, and ask the general for some rewards."
After speaking, the general of the Tiger Army turned to leave.
The battle was extremely difficult, after all, they only had eight hundred men.
In the end, half of them survived, and some of them were lucky.
"Don't worry."
Zhang Liao nodded heavily.
If he had a chance to live, he would not forget these people.
"There's movement."
The sky lit up again, and I couldn't see clearly in the fog.
But the footsteps of the marching team in the distance all reached the ears of Zhang Liao and the others.
The tiger army had blocked the horse's mouth long ago, and they had waited for this moment for a long time.
The war horses were a little restless on both sides of the road, unable to neigh, so they constantly trampled on the ground.
The tiger army on the horse calmed the mood of the war horse.
"Father, today's official road is a little silent..." Gongsun
Kang was in front of the team, and there was not a single pedestrian down this road.
It stands to reason that when the fight starts ahead, there must be many people who want to take refuge, and Xiangping is the best place.
They had been marching for so long that not a single refugee saw it, which was really suspicious.
"Maybe that's a good thing for us."
"Please also ask my father to make it clear."
"There are no refugees to indicate that Xinchang is still there, and the enemy has only attacked Anshi City."
"Too."
Gongsun Kang nodded again and again after hearing this, if Xinchang is also lost, there will be more refugees.
It is worthy of his father, and his knowledge is much stronger than him.
"But it is not ruled out that Xinchang is surrounded and the people cannot run out..." Gongsun
Du said another bad thought.
Thinking of this, he asked the team behind to follow, and the speed of the march became faster.
"Gongsun Du!"
Just as the team was marching, Gongsun Du suddenly heard a loud roar.
This sudden sentence almost made him fall off his horse.
"Who dares to call me by my first name?"
"It's your grandfather, Yanmen Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan!"
Zhang Liao, armed with a hooked scythe, appeared in the fog.
"Zhang Liao..." Gongsun
Du was shocked, Anshi was still separated by Xinchang, and Xiangping was to the northeast.
How could Zhang Liao ambush him on the way to Xinchang?
"Protect Taishou!"
Gongsun Kang heard the soldiers and horses behind him shouting, and immediately drew his sword.
Zhang Liao shouted loudly again: "Kill the first rank of Gongsun Du, reward thousands of gold, seal ten thousand marquis!" "
Kill!"
The next moment, there were shouts of killing on both sides of the pipe.
Its sound is so loud that it is deafening.
Zhang Liao took the lead, and the hook and sickle went straight to Gongsun Du in front of the army.
