"Rush!"

"Kill!"

Although the soldiers of Bohai County were strong and not afraid of death approached the head of Tongxian County, however, the Youzhou soldiers under the command of Gongsun Xu were not vegetarians after all. Every time the spear is stabbed, it can take the lives of many Bohai County soldiers. On top of this small city, it seems to have become a meat grinder, constantly harvesting the lives of the soldiers of Bohai County and Youzhou.

In addition to the 5,000 White Horse Followers, Gongsun Xu also had more than 50,000 soldiers. The sufficient number of soldiers made Gongsun Xu not have much pressure at all, and any vacancy in the city could be filled in time. Therefore, although the soldiers of Bohai County approached the city, none of them were able to climb the city. In this short period of half an hour, it was a long time for the soldiers of Bohai County who were besieging the city or the soldiers of Gongsun Xu who were defending. However, in this short period of half an hour, the total number of soldiers killed and wounded on both sides was nearly 5,000. In the era before Yuan Chang's crossing, as long as there were more than 35 fatalities in a major accident, officials at the level of the municipal party committee would take the blame and resign, but now, more than 100 times more than 35 people died in just half an hour, which shows how cruel the war is!

In this half an hour, Gongsun Xu invested two more fortification materials and two boiling oil offensives. Therefore, of the nearly 5,000 soldiers, more than 3,000 were soldiers from Bohai County, and Gongsun Xu's soldiers suffered fewer casualties, but there were more than 1,000, and the ratio was about 1 to 2.

It stands to reason that the proportion should not be so high, and Gongsun continued to defend the city. There is no doubt that the advantages are huge. Moreover, many of the soldiers in Bohai County were veterans, and most of Gongsun Xu's soldiers had followed him to participate in the battles against foreign races. But. Why is there such a proportion of casualties?

Speaking of which, this is also the credit of Dian Wei.

In the previous battle, Dian Wei killed four generals under the command of Gongsun Xu, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers of Bohai County. Don't underestimate morale, it can be a huge part of the battlefield. On the battlefield in ancient times, when the men and horses of both sides met, they had to fight a military battle first. It's not that the battle of generals can really affect the direction of the battlefield. The main reason is that the results of the battle of the generals can have a great impact on the morale of the soldiers.

"Woo, woo, woo!"

The horn of retreat sounded incessantly. And this horn sounded on the side of Bohai County. After all, it was the soldiers of Bohai County who attacked the city, and it was impossible for Gongsun Xu to blow the horn of retreat. When the horn of the retreat of Bohai County sounded, the remaining 3,000 soldiers of the first team. They all dragged their tired bodies back to their camp. 5,000 soldiers of the first team of Bohai County. More than 3,000 people were killed or wounded in the previous siege, and it should be noted that this is the number of casualties, not the number of casualties. More than 2,000 of them were wounded, minor or seriously injured, but did not die, after all, a life was still preserved. It's all something to be thankful for.

At the same time as the horn sounded, whether it was Gongsun Xu at the head of the city. Or the remaining more than 3,000 Bohai County soldiers who attacked the city were all relieved. The spirit of the battle was tense, and they may not have noticed the fatigue yet, but when the battle was over, they realized what a hard battle they had just experienced. Although the battle was very hard, there is no doubt that these surviving soldiers will definitely be able to become an elite soldier in the days to come.

"Second team, ready!"

Zhao Yun gave orders with a calm and calm face, as if he didn't care about the death on the battlefield, and continued to send the soldiers to the meat grinder. However, under Zhao Yun's calm appearance, no one knows the pain in his heart.

Zhao Yun is a benevolent, righteous, loyal and filial person, which anyone who has seen the Three Kingdoms will recognize, which is also an indisputable fact.

Ren, in the records of the Three Kingdoms, the rewards that Zhao Yun received after each battle were distributed to the soldiers under his command, without exception, which can be seen;

Righteousness, not to mention. In order to allow the soldiers to withdraw smoothly, Zhao Yun single-handedly retreated, with his prestige, the enemy did not dare to take a step forward, and the soldiers under Zhao Yun's command really retreated without a single casualty. In the overall situation of Liu Bei's defeat, Zhao Yun was the only general who did not fail on a small battlefield.

Zhong, when he wanted Liu Bei to rescue Kong Rong and Tao Qian in Xuzhou, he borrowed Zhao Yun and three thousand soldiers from Gongsun Zhan. Zhao Yun and Liu Bei "fell in love at first sight" and knew that Gongsun Zhan was not a person who could achieve great things. However, Zhao Yun still did not give up on Gongsun Zhan, and did not leave until Gongsun Chan was defeated and self-immolated. Some people will think that Zhao Yun did not die with Gongsun Chan because he was disloyal. So, let me ask you, how did Gongsun Chan treat Zhao Yun? Gongsun Chan didn't attach much importance to Zhao Yun, but just let Zhao Yun lead a small team of White Horse Yizhong.

It was recorded in Zhao Ce, a Warring States Policy, that Sun Yu, a native of Jinyang, was a guest of Zhibo, and Zhibo treated him very well. Later, Zhao Xiangzi killed Zhibo, Sun Yu fled to the mountains, and later changed his name to Yi, swallowed charcoal, so that others could not recognize him, and assassinated Zhao Xiangzi three times. But every time he was recognized by Zhao Xiangzi, Zhao Xiangzi did not kill him because he was a righteous man. The last time Zhao Xiangzi was assassinated, Zhao Xiangzi said: "The son does not taste the fan, the Zhongxing clan is gone, and the son is not for revenge, but against the hostage to Zhibo." Zhibo is also dead, and how can Zi Du take revenge for it?" Yu Rang said: "The minister's Fan, the Zhongxing clan, and the Zhongxing clan all met me, and I repaid it to everyone." As for Zhibo, when the countryman meets me, I will repay the countryman. "It turns out that Fan and Zhongxing are not Yu Rang's confidants, only Zhibo, who regards him as a national soldier, is his true confidant, so he wants to repay him with death.

Zhao Yun's treatment of Gongsun Chan is the same, Gongsun Chan treats Zhao Yun as an ordinary subordinate on the spot, does he still expect Zhao Yun to repay Gongsun Chan with his life? This has nothing to do with whether he is loyal or not.

As for Zhao Yun's filial piety, although it is not explained in the Three Kingdoms. However, if you search the history books, you can find that when Zhao Yun joined the army, his brother who raised Zhao Yun since he was a child died of illness. Zhao Yun resolutely left the army for this reason, and did not give up going back to his brother to keep filial piety for three years because of his achievements when the world was in turmoil, doesn't this still explain Zhao Yun's filial piety?

Zhao Yun is such a loyal, filial piety, benevolent and righteous person. Seeing the casualties of more than 1,000 soldiers who get along day and night, how can there be no pain in the heart? However, just as it is said in the Warring States Policy, the soldiers of the country treat me, and the soldiers of the country will repay me. Yuan often treats Zhao Yun like a national soldier and hands over the commander of the army to him, which is to cultivate Zhao Yun's overall ability. Zhao Yun naturally knew this. Yuan Chang treated him like this, how could he live up to Yuan Chang's expectations because of the casualties of his soldiers? Moreover, he would capture Youzhou as soon as possible. The development and expansion of Yuan Chang's strength is also to realize Yuan Chang's ideals, so that the people of the world can restore a unified state more quickly. Therefore, even if the heart is unbearable. Zhao Yun also had to force himself to be ruthless. All. All in order to realize Yuan Chang's ideals as soon as possible.

"Ready, attack!"

Zhao Yun swung the sword in his hand violently, as if to strengthen his determination and make his heart no longer hurt so much.

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

The second team of 5,000 Bohai County soldiers, under Zhao Yun's order, rushed out without hesitation. Although they knew that if they went out this time, there would be many people who would never come back. However, they did not hesitate in the slightest. Even if you are scared in your heart. They didn't take a step back either. The thinking of ordinary soldiers is naturally different from that of Yuan Chang and Zhao Yun, ordinary soldiers are for meritorious service and promotion. Moreover, as a soldier, it is their duty to obey orders, and fighting is what they have to do.

"Archers prepare, shoot!"

Gongsun Xu at the head of the city saw the soldiers of Bohai County rushing up again, and immediately returned to his position to continue commanding. From the first contact, Gongsun Zhan had already seen that most of the soldiers in Bohai County were recruits, however, to Gongsun Xu's amazement, these recruits were so tenacious and tenacious. Gongsun Xu didn't understand what kind of reason could make the recruits who had never been on the battlefield have such a strong fighting spirit.

Although I was amazed in my heart, the battle still went on.

Braving the rain of arrows, the soldiers of Bohai County, after suffering nearly 100 casualties, once again erected the siege ladder on the wall of Tongxian County. It is still the veteran command, and the new recruit executes. After half an hour of fighting, with almost no casualties, the soldiers of Bohai County retreated again.

"Third team, ready!"

Zhao Yun pressed the kindness in his heart to the bottom of his heart, and continued to give orders decisively and firmly.

"General Zhao, wait!"

At this moment, a word sounded from behind Zhao Yun. The person who spoke was not Yuan Chang, Yuan Chang had already handed over the power of commanding the army to Zhao Yun, so naturally he would not interfere with Zhao Yun's command. The person who spoke was Guo Jia, and Guo Jia, as the military advisor of the army, was also within his duty to make suggestions.

"Strategist, I don't know what to order?"

Of course, Guo Jia would not let Zhao Yun stop for no reason, Guo Jia saw that the casualties of such a siege were really huge. Therefore, he stood up to stop Zhao Yun. Now more than 2,000 soldiers have been lost in just attacking a Tong County, and it is still the first day of fighting. There are also 50,000 soldiers in Tongxian County, and if it is consumed like this, the soldiers of Bohai County will definitely not be able to consume it. So, after thinking for a while, Guo Jia made a suggestion.

"General Zhao, I'm afraid that such a strong attack is due to excessive casualties. I think that the siege that can be combined with the virtual and the real can keep the enemy's spirit in a state of exhaustion, so that it is conducive to the siege of our army. ”

Zhao Yun bowed his hand and asked earnestly: "Military advisor, I don't know what is a siege that combines fiction and reality?"

"The so-called combination of virtual and real is the virtual and the real. For example, the city has been forcibly attacked twice before, and this time General Zhao can make a feint, but it is just a charge and shout, and it is not a real siege, and the enemy army does not know the situation, and will inevitably be on high alert. Repeating this many times can intensify the consumption of the enemy's spirit and be more beneficial to our army. ”

"Teachable!"

It is undeniable that Zhao Yun's personal strength is strong, however, Zhao Yun has no experience in commanding large battles, which is the same. Moreover, in order to strengthen his determination, Zhao Yun's spirit was also very tight, and it is understandable that he failed to figure out some ideas. As long as Zhao Yun is given more experience in commanding battles, he will definitely be able to become more perfect.

Subsequently, Zhao Yun summoned the captains of the third team to convey Guo Jia's thoughts, and when the captains of the teams returned to their positions, he gave the order again.

"Attack!"

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

The third team of 5,000 Bohai County soldiers rushed towards Tongxian with a loud shout, and the archers were still the first to take the lead in Tongxian County. The dense rain of arrows also caused the soldiers of Bohai County to fall a lot.

"Boulders, sasswood, boiling oil ready!"

Seeing that the soldiers of Bohai County were about to approach the city wall, Gongsun Xu ordered loudly. However, what made Gongsun Xu's eyes widen was. After the 5,000 Bohai soldiers approached the city wall and put the siege ladder on the city wall, they immediately retracted the siege ladder and ran towards their own camp. The boulders and sassalwood that were smashed once in the head of Tongxian County were smashed in vain, but not a single Bohai County soldier was smashed, and some strength was wasted.

"What's going on? Could it be that Yuan Chang is ready to retreat?"

Gongsun Xu looked at the returning Bohai County soldiers, and asked Guan Jing beside him with some puzzlement.

Guan Jing is not a strategic strategist. I don't understand it. Look up at the sun, it's not yet noon, so I shouldn't be retreating now!

"Young boy. Yuan Chang did not withdraw his troops, so it should not be a retreat. As for why, his subordinates couldn't figure it out. ”

While Gongsun Xu and Guan Jing were discussing, the five thousand Bohai County soldiers who had retreated rushed up again. Gongsun Xu didn't have time to discuss with Guan Jing. Again the soldiers were ordered to prepare. However. As before, this time the five thousand Bohai soldiers arrived under the city wall, still went through the motions, and then retreated.

"Damn, Yuan Chang actually wants to use the strategy of exhausting soldiers!"

After all, Gongsun Xu has followed Gongsun Chan to fight for many years, and for the first time, he still doesn't understand the intentions of the soldiers of Bohai County. However, when this was the case for the second time, Gongsun Xu immediately understood Bohai County's intentions. It's just that. Knowing the intention of Bohai County's strategy, Gongsun Xu had no way to deal with it. You still have to be ready to defend at all times. When the other party is feint and when is the real siege, Gongsun Xu can't be sure. If they slacken, once the other party really wants to forcibly attack the city, if the soldiers are not prepared, they will not fall into the trap of the other party. Thinking of this, Gongsun Xu was a little depressed.

It is also a hard injury to not have a strategist around who can give advice, Guan Jing is okay to handle internal affairs, and the strategy on the battlefield is a little unsatisfactory, at most it is better than the soldiers under the command of Gongsun Xu, maybe not as experienced as Gongsun Xu. Except for Guan Jing, a civil official, the others are all military generals with developed limbs, let them come up with ideas, then Gongsun Xu might as well figure it out by himself, they are all better than them. Of course, Gongsun Xu can also go out of the city to fight, which is also a good way to break the opponent's feint. However, it is still the same problem, Gongsun Xu does not have a strong military general under his command. If you go out of the city to fight, without the advantage of the city wall, the two opponents Dian Wei and Zhao Yun are the spearheads, and they will definitely be able to easily break Gongsun Xu's offensive. When the time comes, it will be a waste of the soldier's life. Therefore, Gongsun Xu could only tense his spirit and keep an eye on Bohai County's actions.

Half an hour later, the third team, which had been feinting for a long time, also returned to their camp.

"Fourth team, ready!"

Gongsun Xu saw the movement on the side of Bohai County, and immediately raised his attention. The third team is a feint, and the fourth team may be the real siege.

However, what made Gongsun Xu vomit blood was that the fourth team still feintmed, and after being nervous for half an hour, the fourth team retreated. At this time, it is also noon, which is the hottest time of the day.

"Damn!"

Gongsun Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the soldiers of Bohai County under the city, and scolded hatefully. However, Gongsun Xu still couldn't let his guard down, because he didn't know if Bohai County would really attack the city, so he could only continue to pay attention.

"Fifth team prepare, attack!"

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

The sun is getting hotter and hotter, and the hot weather makes people a little upset. The soldiers of Bohai County were fine, they just shouted a few slogans, then rushed under the city walls, and ran back again. However, the Youzhou soldiers above the city were a little bitter, and under the order of Gongsun Xu, they must always pay attention to the movements of the soldiers of Bohai County on mental vigilance, and they must not relax at all. Especially when they heard the noisy shouts of the soldiers of Bohai County, but there was no real attack, the soldiers of Youzhou were even more annoyed in their hearts, however, they could not do anything.

"Kill!"

As the main general, Gongsun Xu naturally did not relax in the slightest. However, the soldiers under the command of Gongsun Xu could not be so vigilant as Gongsun Xu, after all, the soldiers are also human beings, and they will also feel tired and inert in their hearts. Therefore, after seeing the two feints of the soldiers of Bohai County, although Gongsun Xu told them not to relax, most of the soldiers were still a little lax. They all had some luck in their hearts, and the soldiers of Bohai County still made a feint this time. So that they can continue to rest.

"Ahh

Just when the Youzhou soldiers began to relax their spirits, the Bohai County soldiers of the fifth team began to really attack the city. This time. Among the 5,000 Bohai County soldiers, there were 2,000 soldiers with bows and arrows, and when they arrived at Tongxian County, under the command of their respective captains, they quickly pulled their bows and arrows, and it was when the Youzhou soldiers were lax, and a round of arrow rain actually took away more than 500 Youzhou soldiers. Two thousand soldiers shoot arrows, and more than five hundred soldiers killed seem to be a little little. But. Don't forget, the soldiers of Bohai County shoot arrows from below the city to the head of the city, which is more difficult than shooting arrows from the head of the city. Therefore. Being able to shoot five hundred Youzhou soldiers is already a good offensive.

"Hurry up, be vigilant! Boulders, sassal wood are ready, and oil is ready!"

Gongsun continued to see that his soldiers were shot to death more than 500 at one time. Suddenly shouted angrily. He also knew that the casualties were so high because of the laxity of his own soldiers. Gongsun Xu can also understand, after all, it is impossible to be vigilant at all times when he is so harassed by the soldiers of Bohai County. However, what made Gongsun Xu vomit blood even more was that this time even the attack of the boulder and the salama was a little behind, and the soldiers of Bohai County had climbed to half of the siege ladder, and the boulder and the salama were in place. By the time the boulders and trees fell, some fast-moving Bohai County soldiers had already approached the city. Before the soldiers of Youzhou could smash down the boulders and trees, they had already been killed by the soldiers of Bohai County.

"Oil, bastard, hurry up!"

There were many places in the city that were in danger, and when Gongsun Xu looked back, he found that the boiling oil had not been burned yet. Because of the previous two feints, the boiling oil cooled down again, so the soldiers who burned the fire were also a little lax, and this time when the soldiers of Bohai County attacked the city, the boiling oil was not ready.

"Bastards, it's all with General Ben, don't let the enemy break through!"

At this moment, it is really critical, and there are gaps in many places above the city. At that moment, Gongsun Xu pulled out the saber at his waist, roared angrily and commanded the support troops to go to various places to rescue the emergency, and after half a day's efforts, he finally filled the gap. However, in this siege, the soldiers of Youzhou suffered more than 4,000 casualties, while the soldiers of Bohai County suffered more than 1,000 casualties. As a defender of the city, with equal troops, perfect equipment, and sufficient materials for the defender, the defending side suffered more casualties than the besieging side, and it was simply a shame to say it.

Gongsun Xu's face was gloomy, his chest kept rising and falling, and the anger in his heart could be imagined. Although a large part of the reason is because Bohai County has used the strategy of exhausting troops, if they do not relax, how can they give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it, thus causing such huge casualties.

"Where is the law enforcement team, pull down the soldiers who burned the fire just now and behead them! How many times has the general reminded him, this is the enemy's strategy, and there must be no slackness, since you take the general's order as a deaf ear, what is the use of keeping you!"

Gongsun Xu roared and ordered, and a thousand law enforcement teams with big swords dragged nearly a hundred soldiers who had burned the fire to the city under Gongsun Xu's order. Seeing such a situation, the soldiers of Youzhou were all frightened, and the soldiers who had prepared the boulders and sassalwood just now were also panicked, lest they would end up like the soldiers who burned the fire. Speaking of which, the offensive of the boulder and the mulberry just now was not in place, and if Gongsun Xu really wanted to take care of it, they would also be guilty.

However, Gongsun Xu did not punish them, which made these soldiers breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts. At the same time, they have also heightened their vigilance to avoid a recurrence of what they had just done.

Gongsun Xu's punishment is also reasonable.

Now that Bohai County has used the strategy of exhausting the soldiers, Gongsun Xu has no way to deal with it, and he can't stop the soldiers from relaxing, so he can only use this method of killing chickens and making an example of monkeys to restrain him. The soldiers who had just thrown boulders, sasswoods, and fires were all at fault, however, comparatively speaking, the number of soldiers who burned the fires was relatively smaller. And the more soldiers who throw boulders and sassal wood, killing the less part, and letting go of the larger part, will definitely make the soldiers more vigilant, and at the same time, they will be grateful for the kindness of Gongsun Xu, and they will work harder when fighting.

Similarly, Gongsun Xu's beheading of his own soldiers on the battlefield will also make some soldiers complain. However, Gongsun Xu had to do this. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, and when Bohai County attacks when the soldiers of Youzhou are lax, then Tongxian may be lost.

Therefore, Gongsun continues to do this, which is also the most suitable method at present. (To be continued......)
