Chapter 837

Although gongsundu was only a prefect of Liaodong before, in fact, he had already mastered several counties, such as Lelang, Daifang and Liaoxi, through his campaign to the South and North. His strength was far from simple as that of a prefect.

With Gongsun Du's command, the whole Liaodong area started to move, and in a very short period of time, they assembled 50000 troops!

We should know that even Liu Ye and Cao Cao, the two powerful princes, want to gather 50000 troops for a while. Among them, there is a great pressure on the troops and logistics to be mobilized. Even a Gongsun Du can mobilize 50000 troops?

The reason is very simple. In fact, Gongsun Du's regular army is only 20000, and the remaining 30000 are foreign soldiers, mostly Koguryo and ethnic minority soldiers from three Koreas.

In fact, the so-called "three tribes" in the Korean Peninsula are called "three tribes" in name. Although the total number was several hundred thousand, gongsundu sent 3000 iron horses, so the Sanhan tribe fled and chose to submit to gongsundu.

"Hurry up, make sure you get to fat city before sunset!"

Gongsun Kang was riding on his horse and shouting loudly. Around him were two thousand iron cavalry of Liaodong. These people were the backbone of Gongsun Du. He had only 8000 cavalry under his command, and the rest were 12000 infantry. As for the 30000 foreign troops, they were just used to fill in and serve as cannon fodder.

As a pioneer of Liaodong army, Gongsun Kang led the army to attack feirucheng, with two thousand iron cavalry and thirteen thousand Korean soldiers. Of course, two thousand iron cavalry were like the fingers of one's arm. However, the speed of thirteen Korean soldiers walking was very slow. Gongsun Kang could not help but be moved to kill.

"Hum! It's a bunch of rubbish. It's useless. "

"Hehe, you can't say that. Without these people, who will fill the city with his life?" Liu Yi said coldly.

Gongsun Kang nodded his head and said haughtily, "that's what I said. It's not cost-effective to attack the city with our elite soldiers from Liaodong. It's better for these fools to attack the city."

Gongsun Kang looked back at the three Han soldiers, who were marching slowly. He couldn't help laughing coldly.

...

feirucheng.

Standing on the dark side of the city.

As a general in Yuan Shao's army, second only to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Gao Lan's position was actually very high, while feirucheng was just a small town in the middle of Liaoxi County, so it was impossible to employ a general like him in any case. However, the current situation is different. After the defeat of Yecheng, Yuan Shao retreated from Youzhou, and his power was greatly reduced, which was not even comparable to the army and horse of Liaodong, which had been well-trained. Therefore, it is suggested that Yuan Shao send Gao Lan to garrison Liaoxi county to guard against the invasion of Liaodong army.

So Gao Lan appeared in this small city, looking depressed.

"General, General Gao!"

Not far away suddenly sounded the sound of footsteps, high brow a frown: "what matter?"

A close soldier came running in and said in a trembling voice: "outside the city... There are a large group of people outside the city, no less than 10000 people. They are rushing towards the fat city. General, hurry up to the head of the city!"

"What? No less than ten thousand? "

Gao Lan got nervous and stood up and said, "command the army and horses in the city to go to the head of the city immediately and prepare to fight!"

Having said that, Gao Lan put on all his clothes without saying a word and rushed to the head of the city.

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

"Don't panic. What are you afraid of?"

With his deep personal prestige in Yuan's army, Gao Lan successfully stabilized the army's morale, and then went to Dougong to watch the army slowly coming from outside the city.

"Gongsun?"

Gao Lan is "stubborn."

Gongsun Kang shook his head and yelled, "soldiers, ready to attack the city!"

Two thousand iron cavalry retreated to the rear and pressed the battle array, while more than ten thousand soldiers stepped forward slowly and surrounded the three gates of feiru city. Even Gao Lan, a famous general, could not help frowning, but he still held the spear in his hand.

"Archers come forward!"
