Gongsun Zan was not surprised that he had given up and ran back to Mengjindu by giving up and running back to Mengjindu, even though Ji Ling lacked experience and ability and lost the cavalry battle last night, Ji Ling was still a general after all. If he refused to admit defeat and continued to get entangled, resulting in the loss of tens of thousands of defenders in Mengjindu, that would be an unforgivable mistake!

Gongsun Zan immediately rushed over and set up a camp not far from the North Bank camp. After a little repair, he planned to launch an attack. To be honest, even if the camp in Mengjindu has been intensified and reinforced, it is impossible to compare with the city wall. It takes some effort to capture it, unless Ji Ling has a large number of reinforcements, and he can force Gongsun Zan to retreat from the side or front.

When I heard that the Mengjindu battle began, many players rushed over, but the Mengjindu ferry had been closed, so there were only other ferry crossings to switch roads, or simply make a post-street coach to Wenxian, and then head south from Wenxian.

However, in this way, Ji Ling's reputation, who ordered the blockade of Mengjindu, fell sharply in the minds of players. Therefore, most of the players who came to join in the fun went to Gongsun Zan's camp to collect tasks, which made Gongsun Zan very happy. He was about to attack the camp, but so many long-range strike troops were added in vain. Isn't this sleepy and touching the pillow?

Ji Ling regretted again, underestimated the power of Yi Ren, and once again made him suffer a lot. This series of failures finally made Ji Ling begin to re-examine himself. It seems that he has too many shortcomings, and every problem may become a fatal loophole in the war.

After resting for a night, Ji Ling went straight out of the formation the next day and set up a large formation in front of the camp. This strategy cannot be said to be bad. Because the camp is solid, the effect of defending the dead will definitely not be very good. It is better to use the battle formation to lure the opponent to attack to achieve the purpose of consuming the opponent. It would be even better if Gongsun Zan was willing to use cavalry to rush forward, so that Gongsun Zan could see how the infantry formation broke the cavalry!

Unfortunately, how could an old fox like Gongsun Zan have such a simple trick? If it were before yesterday, facing Ji Ling who took the initiative to fight, Gongsun Zan would still scratch his head. Although it would be impossible to break the infantry formation. However, Gongsun Zan did not want to suffer too much. Just so, the Yiren who arrived one after another yesterday afternoon received a large number of long-range strike missions, and now Ji Ling was foolishly placing out the battle formation, just to deliver vegetables to the long-range strike troops!

"Push a hundred steps in front of the infantry formation!"

"Keep the formation of two wings still!"

"The long-range strike force advances two hundred steps. Prepare for attack!"

"Bang bang!"

The first strike was the long-range strike force in the camp. Although Ji Ling was almost experienced, he was not a fool. When he saw that the enemy had reached the strike range of the long-range troops, he immediately ordered the long-range troops to attack!

However, Ji Ling did not discover that the infantry advancing were all sword and shield soldiers. There was no other type of troops. The crossbow soldiers stood behind and saw the gravel flying all over the sky. The sword and shield soldiers immediately formed a shield array defense. At the same time, the crossbow soldiers behind suddenly changed into a sparse vertical array. In the gap they gave out, stone throwers were advancing rapidly!

This array change is just right, as if it has been practiced countless times. The catapult quickly passed through the crossbow soldiers formation and quickly unfolded behind the shield soldiers formation. The shield soldiers formation is sandwiched between the catapults. This is to use the shield array to protect the operators of the catapults when they are hit.

"Team A's volley! Let it go!"

"Team B's volley! Let it go!"

"Reinstall! Reinstall!"

"Enemy attack! Pay attention to defense!"

Gongsun Zan's troops were like a machine, and they launched an orderly attack on Ji Ling's camp and troops.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ji Ling immediately issued an order to retreat. However, under the attack of Gongsun Zan's large number of stone-cattering aircraft, not only did the long-range troops in the camp be covered and hit, but the infantry lined up outside the camp also suffered heavy blows. Less than a quarter of an hour after the war started, Ji Ling shrank back. After a little bit of it, he lost about 3,000 people. Fortunately, he retreated quickly, otherwise the losses would be even heavier.

Ji Ling really couldn't understand why Gongsun Zan had so many trenchers. This obviously did not conform to prior information, nor even reality. If Gongsun Zan had brought so many trenchers, his troops would not have been able to move so quickly!

Not long after, the adjutant got news from various sources, confirming that a large number of Yiren joined Gongsun Zan's camp, providing Gongsun Zan with a large number of long-range strike capabilities. This is the truth of the matter. When Ji Ling learned that these Yiren joined Gongsun Zan in anger because he did not open the Mengjin Ferry, he couldn't help but sigh to the sky!

....................................................................................

Last night, Yuan Shu didn't sleep well all night. The reason for the incident was because of his sudden whim. He wanted to take Xuchang off when Yu She went south to pass by Xuchang. You know, Xuchang was like putting a rope around his neck. Yuan Shu always wanted to get rid of it quickly, but he couldn't make any moves. It's not easy to have a chance now, so Yuan Shu naturally won't let it go. Moreover, he was proud of it and felt that his head was very useful.

However, after the situation developed to this point, Yuan Shu finally realized that his mind was not only not easy to use, but also very bad to use. A good thing has now become a mess. Seeing that Huainan is out of protection, Xuchang cannot be taken down. Gongsun Zan attacked Mengjin with fierce attacks, and even Ji Ling failed repeatedly. Zhang Miao and Liu Dai were also ready to move. Zhang Yang and Dong Zhuo would probably not just watch the fun, and there was also the one who was eyeing the straw sandals in the south.

When Yuan Shu thought of this, he felt a split headache, and he didn't sleep well all night, which made his thin face so thin that he was even more sank and haggard. The concubines around him were also careful, for fear that they would cause Yuan Shu's unhappiness and cause death.

"Master!..."

"You are finally here!" Yuan Shu seemed to have suffered a lot of grievances to see his parents. At this time, Yuan Shu realized that having subordinates was also a happy thing.

"How is it, is there any news?"

Yuan Shu asked anxiously. Early in the morning, these officials looked listless on their faces. Compared to not sleeping better last night, and with the bad news I got in the morning, everyone's mood could not be better.

"Lord, we have the latest news that Zhang Miao's troops are moving, and Liu Bei in Wancheng is also gathering troops."

"This... what a bunch of thieves are so irresistible villains!" Yuan Shu was so angry that he trembled all over. This was a robbery, and the naked ones took advantage of the situation!

Yang Hong sighed, stepped forward and bowed, "Master, MS system, angry! It's useless to be angry now, so I'd better think about how to solve the problem in front of me!"

Yuan Shu felt an unknown fire in his heart, and he glanced around the faces of his subordinates. Yuan Shu always felt that everyone seemed to blame himself, blame him for his mistakes again and again, knowing that the great situation has been turned into a mess now!

Yuan Shu looked at Yang Hong, but saw Yang Hong looking at him with a cold look. Yuan Shu's mind was a little clearer. Yes, no matter what, now we must stabilize the situation first, otherwise everything will be over!

"Guangqi, what do you think should you do now?" Yuan Shu tried his best to suppress the anger and uneasiness in his heart, and asked in a calm voice, but the hoarseness and tremor in his voice could not be completely concealed.

Yang Hong took a step forward and faced Yuan Shu head-on. This was the right thing to do, and it was the official and final opinion of the subordinate.

"My subordinates think that the situation seems to be critical everywhere now, but in fact the root cause is one. Even if our army lacks military personnel and has too wide territory, it will cause the current situation. Therefore, my subordinates believe that we should give up Huainan, transfer the Huainan defenders to the north, seize Xuchang with all our might, stabilize Yingchuan, and connect with General Zhu Jun, and then try to counterattack Qiao County or Chenliu. As for the north, we can only defend strictly. Although our army is not enterprising in Sili, we have more than enough defense. Mengjin crosses the north bank to ease the relationship with Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan did not have the strength to continue to advance south.

Zhang Yang was still too busy to take care of himself, so how could he talk about going south? Dong Zhuo is notorious, how could he come from east? Liu Bei and I are so similar to the situation. Couldn’t he take it as a warning? As for Zhang Miao and others, if General Zhang Xun is in charge in Zhongmu, he will not dare to move! In this way, it seems that Huainan has been abandoned, but our army is even more able to join forces. On the other hand, after being dumped by Huainan’s burden on Cao Cao, it will arouse the covetousness of Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, and Cao Cao for Chen, Liang, and Pei. At that time, we can discuss the joint attack on Cao Cao with him, and then Qiao County, Huainan will be my hands!"

Yang Hong talked, Yuan Shu's eyes became brighter and brighter when he heard it, and even other civil and military generals nodded frequently. Yang Hong's strategic concept was undoubtedly very realistic, his vision and analysis were also convincing, and his measures seemed to be able to effectively stabilize the current situation. As for the future counterattack of Qiao County and Huainan, no one could say, but if Sili, Yingchuan and Runan were properly governed, this possibility would be not lacking.

"Oh? In this way, Huainan's loss may not be a bad thing?" Yuan Shu was still making excuses for himself from the bottom of his heart.

Yang Hong smiled and said, "It can also be said that losing Huainan is equivalent to facts helping us make a choice. The temporary contraction is for more concentration of strength, just like clenching a fist to hit our opponent more effectively. What do you think, lord?"

"It's reasonable, very reasonable. Losing Huainan has brought us our initiative and better development prospects. It seems that there is God's will between gains and losses! Haha..."

"Master, then..."

"I think Guangqi's suggestions are very good, so let's follow Guangqi's plan. Do you have any other opinions?"

On June 21, 2018, three days after the Battle of Mengjin started, Ji Ling's troops crossed south at night, and then burned the camp on the north bank with a fire, making Gongsun Zan sigh at the fire and then at the surging river of the Yellow River. This battle could no longer be fought here.
