Three Kingdoms: I can summon famous generals from all worlds

Chapter 198: An Empty City?

Yan Gang sighed in his heart, then hurriedly continued:
"Then at least ask the general to send troops to besiege this city! This city is not big, and with our military strength, we can definitely besiege it! That Zhang He is indeed a good general in Jizhou, we must not let him have any chance to escape! We will strangle him with all our strength." Here, many future troubles can be solved!"

Yan Gang's suggestion was adopted by Gongsun Zan.

It would be very easy for 3 troops to besiege such a small border town. Immediately, two groups of troops were dispatched to detour from both sides of the town until they arrived at the gate on the other side of the town.

Only then did Yan Gang retreat, and before leaving, he caught a glimpse of Tian Yu's sinister eyes, looking at him.

Sighing helplessly, Yan Gang understood that he was once the most trusted general around Gongsun Zan, and at the same time he was jealous of many colleagues.

But now that he has lost Gongsun Zan's trust, and has even fallen to the point where his subordinates dared to scold him, it is inevitable that he will be rejected or ridiculed by those who used to be jealous of him.

Under the command of the generals under Gongsun Zan's command, [-] of the [-] soldiers went to besiege the back gate of the small town.

However, half an hour later, Gongsun Zan, who was camping in front of the main gate, saw the small town's main gate slowly open!

"Everyone be alert! Array!"

Gongsun Zan, who had not yet removed his armor, got on his horse and was about to call for his soldiers to line up to meet the enemy, but found that the person who opened the door was none other than the general he had sent to besiege the back door of the small town!
"Zou Dan!? How could it be you!?"

Gongsun Zan patted his horse and went forward, but saw that the man was Zou Dan who he had sent to besiege the small town.

"General! This city is empty!"

Zou Dan hurried over and reported to Gongsun Zan:

"The last general led his troops around the city, only to find that the back gate of the city was completely unguarded! After probing and attacking, he found that the city was empty! The last general led his troops from the back gate to the front gate, and only saw the front gate. There are hundreds of old and weak soldiers, and a group of dummy! These people are the ones left by Zhang Yun to confuse the general!"

"I have already asked those people, and they said that after Zhang Xi's infantry returned to the city from the front gate, they left the city directly through the back gate without any delay at all! They obviously abandoned their defense!"

"What did you say!? Abandoned?"

Tian Yu, who was catching up to him, widened his eyes in surprise and asked, "What about the situation in the city?"

Zou Dan replied: "There is not a single resident in the city! It has obviously been transferred long ago! At the same time, there is no food, no ordnance in the city! General, that Zhang He left us an empty city!"

"Empty City!?"

Tian Yu pointed to the crossbows on the wall not far away and said, "Where are those things?"

Zou Dan knew what he was talking about without turning his head. He sighed heavily and said, "The equipment on the city wall is all extremely old and damaged facilities! It doesn't work at all to bluff people! In fact, There is not much ordnance in this small city at all, according to some veterans captured just now, Zhang He has already used all the ordnance in the city in that battle just now!"

"So, that Zhang Yun didn't intend to defend the city from the beginning! All his bravery is just to beat us up!?"

At this time, everyone had gathered around, and after Zou Dan's explanation, everyone understood what happened today.

"In other words, we have been waiting here for more than an hour!?"

Gongsun Zan was also quite frustrated.

"If we attacked the city immediately at that time, we should be able to kill the opponent in the city!"

Someone in the crowd said so.

Such a statement reminded both Gongsun Zan and Tian Yu of Yan Gang who was still making suggestions just now, and they both looked back to find Yan Gang's figure.

"My lord, since the matter has come to this, let's go into the city first."

Tian Yu noticed this, and immediately stepped forward to suggest to Gongsun Zan that he didn't want that guy Yan Gang to come back, and maybe he would put the hat on himself for not attacking in time.

Gongsun Zan glanced at Tian Yu, and then said, "Lead the army into the city first."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the camp of his personal guard, Baima Yicong. Just a short distance away, he saw Yan Gang rushing out from inside.

"General, I heard that Zhang Yun just abandoned the city and ran away?"

"Not bad! He should have premeditated!"

Gongsun Zan nodded, then asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"

Yan Gang immediately said: "My lord, this man is resourceful and resourceful. He will give up the small town to retain his strength. He must not be allowed to stay! I beg for your orders, and the general should order Bai Mayi to go forward and pursue him! The enemy army only has a thousand cavalry, and the rest are all infantry! Although there are some More than an hour's advance, but as long as our army gallops fast, we can catch up with the opponent at dusk at the latest! Destroy its vital force!"

Gongsun Zan had no doubt about him, and immediately nodded and said:
"Okay! Then I will order you to be the captain of a thousand riders, lead a thousand white horses, and go to chase! Yan Gang, you must bring me good news!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Yan Gang immediately clasped his fists in salute, and at the same time, his heart was full of ups and downs. This was the first opportunity he got since he was demoted!
Yiqian Baima Yicong quickly counted them out, and learned that Yan Gang was leading the team, and one of them, Qianqi, gave up all his subordinates directly, and was willing to be a small school accompanying him.

Yan Gang, as the former leader of Baima Yicong, was admired by almost everyone.

In the small town, Tian Yu killed all the old and weak soldiers who were left behind, and spat hard when he saw the white cavalry team quickly retreating away.

……

"My lord, we have already entered the border of Jizhou. According to the previous information, as long as we follow this road, we can go deep into Jizhou, all the way to Jizhou Prefecture, Ye County."

Beside the carriage, Zhao Yun in white robe and silver armor was reporting the current progress to Liu Bian.

"kindness."

Liu Bian nodded, looked over Zhao Yun's shoulder, looked at the sky, and said:
"It's almost dusk. Let's find a relatively secluded place to camp today as soon as possible."

"I will understand at the end."

Zhao Yun nodded, and then said: "It's just that the Jizhou Plain is mostly there. It's really not that easy to find a place that is more secluded, but the Lord doesn't need to worry too much. According to the information, the road we are currently on is actually not Jizhou. Officially, there are relatively few people who go this way, and there is not much threat to us."

"You just make up your mind."

Liu Bian nodded, and looked at the carriageway not far ahead again: "By the way, before camping, don't forget to consult General Cao's opinion."

"Yes."

Zhao Yun was meticulous in doing things, nodded with Liu Bian, and then ran towards Cao Cao's direction.

Beside Liu Bian, there was also a group of eyes following Zhao Yun's back, full of envy.

"Your Highness, let me go ride a horse too! I really did enough with this carriage when I was injured!"

There was a trace of pleading in Mulan's eyes, and a trace of coquettishness.
