    With the arrival of Gongsun Zan, the Northern Route Army became bolder.

    There are many cavalry in Youzhou, and Gongsun Zan brought a total of 50,000 cavalry.  Among the 50,000 cavalry, there are also several thousand fierce prairie people.

    Gongsun Zan also had life-threatening orders for these grassland people. The first thing he did was to carry out the scouting war to the end.

    Tens of thousands of cavalry were dispatched at once to suppress the Yangzhou scouts.

    Tai Shici and others clearly felt the pressure and withdrew their troops after resisting for two days.

    As the scope of exploration continued to expand, the news brought by the scouts became more and more terrifying. It only took three days from suspicion that the camp was empty to confirmation.

    Gongsun Zan led the cavalry to raid the camp and easily occupied the camp. He was surprised to find that there was a lot of dust in the camp.

    "Yuan Benchu ??is so cowardly!" Gongsun Zan mocked.

    When the news reached Xiapi, Yuan Shao¡¯s cheeks felt burning.

    Hundreds of thousands of troops actually slipped away under his eyes.

    No wonder Marquis Dongyang insists on fighting the scout war, not for revenge, but for escape!

    So, the three giants gathered together, and no one gave anyone a good look.

    "Tell me, what should we do next?" Gongsun Zan snorted coldly.

    You are so proud of yourself!

    Yuan Shao felt contempt in his heart, but he still said calmly: "The Marquis of Dongyang is afraid of us!"

    "Stop talking nonsense, don't think about it. What is Dongyang Marquis doing at the moment when he has avoided your surveillance." Gongsun Zan said bluntly.

    Yuan Shao's face became even more ugly. This was a typical example of wasting the opportunity to fight, but he would never admit it.

    After Dongyang Hou left Xuzhou, he would definitely not simply stick to Guangling County, so there was only one possibility, and that was to go to Runan.

    ??According to the speed of the infantry, Dongyang Hou has already fought with Cao Cao at this moment, right?

    Yuan Shao wanted to gloat, but suddenly realized that he and Cao Cao were in the same camp now and couldn't laugh at all.

    "Cao Mengde is in danger!" Liu Bei also came to the same conclusion.

    Obviously, this news is a bit lucky for them, but for the entire alliance, it is a disaster.

    Unless they don¡¯t want to defeat Liu Ke.

    Cao Cao is the leader of the alliance. Once the leader is defeated, the blow to the alliance will definitely be fatal.

    "Why panic!" Yuan Shao said calmly, "With the Marquis of Dongyang going to Runan, won't Guangling be empty? As long as our 400,000 troops go south, we can restore our disadvantage."

    Although you say that, your hindsight is too serious!

    Gongsun Zan especially despises this kind of people.

    "Can the army be mobilized?" Gongsun Zan only asked this question.

    This is the efficiency of the border army, which does not even require rest.

    "It only takes half a day!" Yuan Shao said.

    Soon after, the Allied forces came out of Xiapi City, and the 400,000-strong army was extremely spectacular.

    At this moment, Taishi Ci was watching not far away.

    "Sure enough, the Allies were not stupid either. After discovering something was wrong, they immediately took action. We should have persisted for a few more days." Hua Xiong said regretfully.

    "Don't panic, everything is as expected by the military advisor." Tai Shici said.

    Guo Jia has set up a defense line along the Guangling border. Even if he cannot defeat the enemy, he can still block it for a while.

    What Tai Shici is worried about now is that even if his lord returns with cavalry, he may not be a match for the Allies.

    The enemy numbered 400,000, while Yangzhou only had a few hundred thousand troops. There was a huge disparity in strength.

    "It's just pity for these fields." Hua Xiong sighed. It was the growing season of crops and they were full of green.

    Once the Allied forces arrive, all this tranquility and peace will be destroyed.

    Zhang He also believes that now only by retreating to Dongyang City and relying on the strong city to resist the Allies can we be sure of victory.

    Dongyang City not only has a moat that is 100 meters wide and five to six meters deep, but also has a city wall that is 15 meters high.

    When the water conservancy project was first built, Lu Su continued to widen the moat, reaching a maximum width of 150 meters.

    To give an example, the famous Xiangyang City in the Song Dynasty resisted the Mongolian cavalry for several years. The city wall was only ten meters high and the moat was about 250 meters wide at its widest point.

    Therefore, the so-called 400,000-strong Allied army will definitely be beaten to death in Dongyang City.

    What's more, Yangzhou has the most advanced technology in the country, and its bows and crossbows areIt saves effort and has a longer range.

    Tai Shici suddenly thought of something. It seemed that there were thousands more ballistas in the military camp recently.

    Could it be that

    "Let's go back to camp!" Tai Shici said solemnly.

    Although Zhang He and Hua Xiong were surprised, they did not argue. After leaving some men behind, they also left with Tai Shici.

    After returning to the camp, a guard told Taishi Ci that Guo Jia was looking for him.

    "Military advisor!" Taishi Ci cupped his hands and said.

    "Ziyi, you came back just in time. If you don't come back, I will send someone to find you." Guo Jia said with a smile.

    "The allies have left Xiapi and are heading here." Tai Shici said.

    "I know, I'm looking for you this time to give my lord a big gift." Guo Jiadao.

    Indeed!

    Tai Shici was very excited and said: "No matter what the military advisor orders, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

    "Don't be a fool, I want to participate too!" Zhang He said.

    Hua Xiong was a step slower, but he also said that if he could be of use to him, he would never be polite.

    "Okay, here's the thing. This time, we are targeting the Allied cavalry, and we will eliminate them before the Lord comes back." Guo Jiadao.

    This sentence is too fantasy and too arrogant. Guo Jia rarely speaks big words, but when he does, it is shocking.

    The Allied forces totaled about 400,000, including about 70,000 cavalry, which was not much different from Yangzhou in number.

    "If we can eat these 70,000 cavalry, it will definitely be a huge achievement."

    Guo Jia did not intend to sell out, and said: "In the past two years, my lord and I have explored a method of warfare. Do you remember the battle in which Mengtian of the former Qin Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu and captured the Hetao area?"

    Tai Shici certainly knew that the Qin Dynasty also lacked war horses, but it did not lack bows and crossbows.  Meng Tian led an army of 300,000 men to fight against the Huns cavalry, relying on crossbowmen.

    "Yes, now I have transferred 2,000 crossbows and 20,000 Yuanrong crossbows from Dongyang. Together with the Shesheng Battalion and setting up an ambush, I will definitely be able to severely damage the enemy's cavalry troops." Guo Jiadao.

    Hua Xiong was shocked. He knew the power of the ballista. One ballista could break the city gate. Now, two thousand of them?

    And the Yuanrong crossbow is easy to use, the Yangzhou army basically has training, and the infantry can become crossbowmen when they take the Yuanrong crossbow.

    "I have also prepared 600,000 arrows. I wonder if this gift is enough to kill the Allied cavalry?" Guo Jiadao.

    enough!  Absolutely enough!

    These materials are converted into wealth, which is at least 400,000 gold!

    "Military advisor, are you planning to use money to kill the allies?" Zhang He swallowed and said.

    "Haha, as long as we win the battle, the arrows can still be recovered. Don't you have confidence?" Guo Jia asked.

    "Yes!" the three of them said in unison.

    The focus of the next discussion is how to lure the Allied cavalry troops.

    Today, Taishi Ci still has 5,000 heavy cavalry and 3,000 light cavalry on hand, so he still has some capital.

    "Just use heavy cavalry! If there are few people coming, just eat them. If there are many people, just run to the ambush location." Guo Jia agreed.

    "Leave it to me!" Zhang He said.

    "But before that, remember to get rid of those annoying scouts." Guo Jiadao.

    I know!

    Tai Shici nodded and looked at Hua Xiong, full of fighting spirit.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
