Chapter 376 Battle of Huguan

"The east gate seems to be open! Let's go!" Another personal guard shouted. Although Pan Feng didn't know why there was a glimmer of hope in the original death situation, he was not allowed to do so. He hurriedly led his brothers who had already started the horse out of the city gate. The remaining brothers who had not started the horse did not follow, and spontaneously cut off the rear and forced himself into a dead end.

"Shooting the arrows! There is a riot!" A small school responsible for guarding the east gate did not know what happened in the city. He was awakened from his sleep by the sound of fighting downstairs. He thought there was a riot, so he quickly woke his subordinates up and wanted to "suppress" the so-called riot. Just when the school was still thinking about the rewards and promotions he would suppress the riot, and thought that his future journey was smooth, he did not know that he had let the culprit go, and he would also become a scapegoat for Xinpi to set up a good game.

At the same time, the battle sounded like thunder in Huguan.

Although everyone in the world knew that Yuan Shao was powerful and was the strongest prince in the north, even Gongsun Zan's power did not dare to fight with Yuan Shao head-on, and could only rely on an alliance with other princes to fight against Yuan Shao. However, in the Western Front battlefield dominated by Huguan, the situation was the opposite.

On the one hand, Yuan Shao had to send troops to guard various checkpoints and ports to defend sneak attacks from the other side of the Yellow River, and left a considerable military force in each main city to help guard the guard. On the other hand, he arranged the main army to compete with Gongsun Zan on the north battlefield. Therefore, his military force on the Western Front battlefield was only 60,000, which also included all the erratic soldiers.

But their opponents had a united army of 120,000. Yuan Xi's army had previously drawn the army of Yecheng Town and overturned and captured Hanoi. However, the prefect of Hanoi Wang Kuang decided to lead his new army of 40,000 troops to retreat into Jinyang as a guest general and preserved his strength. Gongsun Zan also sent his brother Gongsun Yue to lead 10,000 elite cavalry to the alliance. The 20,000 Liaodong Iron Cavalry led by Gongsun Gongsun Gongsun Gong, the second son of Xiangping Prefect Gongsun Du, and the prefect of Xiangping, Zhang Yang, joined forces with the Black Mountain bandits to reach 50,000 troops. The alliance army seemed at least very strong to outsiders, and seemed to be a breeze for Yuan Shao's army on the western front.

But only outsiders think so. As long as there is cooperation, there will be disputes, let alone such a complex alliance.

A week before Yuan Shao was about to take action against Han Fu, the battle at Huguan had already begun. Yuan Xi wanted to rely on unexpected blitzkrieg to recover his military disadvantage and lead his 30,000 troops to attack Huguan.

That night, Huguan was still crowded with people. Since Huguan could only accommodate more than 20,000 soldiers, except for the 10,000 Zhang Yang army who had been guarding here for a long time, the remaining gaps were filled by the other coalition forces. Tonight was the day when Zhang Yang army exchanged Wang Kuang army, so it was still brightly lit at night, but the defense was reduced to the extreme.

"Oh, I don't know what the above is doing. Those who change shifts haven't come yet." The post that had been standing for an hour had already relaxed and was waiting for their next team, but the other party had not arrived for a long time.

"We're here." A sudden ghostly voice sounded from behind the soldier who had just spoken, scaring him.

"Damn, Wang Shun! When did you like to scare people? Look at me not fighting... No! You are not..." When the soldier wanted to turn around and teach the soldier who scared him a lesson, he suddenly found that the other party was actually a stranger. He was about to scream out, but he had already been killed by the other party with a knife.

"Move quickly and welcome the army into the city!" The group of Yuan Shao's detailed works in Zhang Yang's military uniforms had already sneaked into the city. Today, they officially came to the day of their operations, so they assassinated several inconspicuous Zhang Yang's soldiers, then changed into their uniforms and opened the city gate.
