Chapter 597: Abandoning the City

"Haha, Prince Jian Qiutai said he was laughing!"

Gao Jianchang laughed, but his expression did not change in the slightest. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he said unhurriedly: "Now everyone is on the same line, all of them are here for Youzhou, does Prince Jian Qiutai think that General Ben is the kind of person who loses big because of small things? In fact, it is not that General Ben is reluctant to use those siege equipment, but because the siege equipment is still on the way to be delivered, it is estimated that it will arrive in the next two days." The reason why I didn't tell you is that I am worried that there will be many people, and if we are known by the details in Youzhou City, and go to destroy the siege equipment, when the time comes, in the face of the city wall of Benxi City, we can only sigh with admiration. ”

Of course, Gao Jianchang's reasons are reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with them. However, his words will always make people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Huh!"

I saw that the master general Ma Han laughed strangely, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "According to what you mean, General Gao, it means that we will leak the secret." Now that everyone has become allies, General Gao still hides these things, and it seems that he can't say anything, and he doesn't take our allies seriously. ”

Gao Jianchang raised his head and glanced at Jin Tainong lightly, this guy is a-stirring stick, provoking Walton, the guy with muscles in his head, and now he is provoking his own head. He Gao Jianchang is not a fool like Walton, how can he let Jin Tainong handle it.

"Of course, now that everyone is sitting in the same boat, they are all allies, and General Ben naturally understands. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Jianchang paused, and then continued: "General Ben has not thought of concealing anything, but if General Ben informs you of this matter, can you guarantee that you will not tell your cronies, and you can guarantee that there are no people among your cronies who have been in contact with the enemy army? If there is any negligence, who will bear this responsibility, and General Jin Tainong, are you willing to bear this responsibility?" If you think that the general has the idea of hiding secrets, then there is no problem, and the general will inform you of any confidential matters in the future. However, if these secrets are known to the enemy, you will have to bear the corresponding responsibility, and in order to compensate for the losses, my Goguryeo will have priority in the future interests, how about it?"

As soon as Gao Jianchang's words came out, several main generals suddenly had nothing to say.

First of all, no matter which force it is, it does not dare to guarantee whether there are enemy troops in its own army. After all, this thing is too deeply hidden to be completely eradicated. And as long as they get close to their cronies and steal these secrets, as Gao Jianchang said, no one can bear the responsibility for defeat; secondly, they participate in the battlefield battles, and they are also here for profit, if Goguryeo has priority, then they are still hot fart, just go home. Therefore, there is no guarantee that Gao Jianchang's requirements can be achieved, and everyone can only respond in silence. It seems that they have no better way than to be silent.

Seeing them like this, a sneer flashed in Gao Jianchang's heart.

In fact, as early as when the children of the Fan Yang Lu family dedicated the drawings of the siege equipment to Goguryeo, Goguryeo had already begun to build siege equipment. It was precisely because of the siege machine that they Goguryeo ignored the advantages of the walls of the Central Plains court and launched a war. All dynasties and generations in history, whether it is Goguryeo or Goryeo and other dynasties, although they covet the Central Plains, they have never taken the initiative to take action, and they are all secretly playing tricks. For example, if it unites with the surrounding enemies of the Central Plains Imperial Court, it will stumble on the Central Plains, so as to obtain benefits. Because they know that their country has few people and weak strength, they are not the opponent of the Central Plains Imperial Court at all, and they can only fish in troubled waters. And this time, because of Yuan Chang, the traverser, the Fanyang Lu family was removed, and under extreme resentment, the technical drawings of the siege equipment were sent to Goguryeo, not only Goguryeo, but also Eastern Xianbei and Karasuma were also obtained. Therefore, Goguryeo actually prepared sufficient siege equipment for a long time. As the so-called three armies have not moved, grain and grass go first, and the siege equipment has already been secretly transported to the battlefield. It's just that in order to trap a few allies, Gao Jianchang deliberately asked the team escorting siege equipment to delay the trip, and wait for the strength of a few allies before coming to the battlefield. In today's battle, several allies have lost thousands of elites, and Gao Jianchang's goal has been achieved, so naturally he will no longer hide the siege equipment.

Moreover, everyone is here for the sake of interests, just now Gao Jianchang just mentioned a matter of interests, so they kept silent, in this way, Gao Jianchang saved a lot of trouble. In the future, I can also use this reason to face their criticism, and it is really a lot of things.

Early the next morning, the team of Goguryeo escorting siege equipment came to the camp of Goguryeo, and the siege equipment looked murderous.

After seeing that these siege weapons were transported to the battlefield so quickly, except for Walton, the chief general with a missing head, Jian Qiutai and several others seemed to have some reactions, and it seemed that these big killing weapons of Goguryeo could have been transported to the battlefield a long time ago. It's just that I don't know why Gao Jianchang delayed, but they didn't figure it out, but they lost a lot of elites yesterday. Of course, they would never have imagined that those "elite soldiers" in Goguryeo were just a group of cannon fodder who looked like elite soldiers on the outside, and they were not real elite soldiers at all.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Woo, woo, woo!"

The sound of drums and horns sounded like a rush to the sky, now that these siege weapons had arrived, Gao Jianchang and the others naturally would not hesitate any longer, and directly launched the siege battle. With these big killing weapons, no matter how strong Benxi City is, it is useless. Moreover, the combined strength of their own side is still several times that of Youzhou, and there is nothing to worry about.

Subsequently, I saw that a stone throwing machine was placed outside Benxi City, and more than a dozen soldiers under the stone throwing machine were busy preparing; in addition to the stone throwing machine, there were dozens of rushing vehicles, which were also ready to go, as long as Gao Jianchang gave an order, he did not hesitate to rush to the Benxi City Gate. You must know that in order to solve the problem of the Central Plains city, Goguryeo spared no cost this time and spent a lot of money to build a large number of siege equipment, which is now only part of the battle. Gao Jianchang believes that with these siege equipment, it is not a problem at all to take down all the cities in Youzhou.

"Although this is the result expected by his subordinates and lords, I am still a little angry when I see these siege equipment!"

Guo Jia looked at the many siege equipment under the city, and his tone was a little angry.

"The family really deserves to die!" Yuan Chang nodded and said with a solemn expression.

Siege equipment has always been a prohibited weapon in the Central Plains, just like the nuclear bomb of later generations, except for a few countries, other countries do not have it at all. The siege equipment is also a patented product of the Central Plains, and the Central Plains Imperial Court also takes extremely strict care of these things, and foreign countries cannot obtain the manufacturing technology of siege equipment at all. Now, Goguryeo has these things in their hands, and they don't have to think about it to know that they were given to each other by the children of the Fanyang Lu family. These big families only have the interests of the family, and for the sake of the interests of the family, they even ignore the people of the world, which is really hateful. It is no wonder that heroes like Cao Cao like to recruit talents and select children from poor families to work for themselves, rather than collecting talents from the family. It's a pity that after Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi came to power, reused the family, and finally gave up the country to the Sima family.

The reason why the children of the Fan Yang Lu family were able to leave and contact the surrounding forces at the beginning was also because Yuan Chang and Guo Jia did this deliberately, just to let these guys jump out and put them on the bright side to clean up. If they were hidden in the dark, Yuan often had to find out one by one, which would be very troublesome. There are many big families in Youzhou who were moved by the children of the Lu family and rose up to resist Yuan Chang, under the rule of Yuan Chang's heavy troops and the people's hearts, those rebellious forces were like fleas, and they were effortlessly solved by Yuan Chang. After solving the internal problems, the next natural step is to solve the peripheral problems. It's just that Yuan Chang and Guo Jia didn't calculate that the children of the Fan Yang Lu family dared to risk the disapproval of the world and hand over the technology of siege equipment to other races.

"Forget it, it's come to this, it's useless to get angry, wait for those few fish that slipped through the net, and then let them be responsible for what they did. ”

Yuan Chang was angry for a moment, and then he came over. No matter what time it is, there will be no shortage of such people. He has also watched a lot of movies and TV series like this, and he has nothing to be angry about, so it's good to open some.

"Commander Tai Shi Ci, are things ready? ”

"Lord Qiqi, everything has been arranged!" Tai Shi Ci gave a military salute to Yuan Chang with a respectful but dignified expression, and then said loudly.

The military salute is naturally new, not the way of saluting that you have to bend down and kneel at every turn. Don't look at it as a simple way to salute, but it is extremely important. The new military force is simple but not majestic, with its head held high and its eyes straight, giving people a positive feeling, and the way of saluting by bending down and kneeling at every turn is of course more comfortable for the superiors, but for the soldiers at the bottom, it is not very pleasant. After all, it is not a very comfortable thing to bend over and kowtow to people often. One reason why the soldiers of the feudal period were prone to mutiny was because they were afraid of losing the war, and the other reason was that the negative feelings they had accumulated for a long time broke out in an instant. In the past, they were oppressed by their superiors, and once they mutinied, the first person they killed was the superior general. However, the new military salute can reduce the occurrence of such feelings. Whether it is a superior or a superior, saluting each other is the same, simple and direct, and the heart will be much more comfortable, which is also another way to resolve the feelings of soldiers in addition to the political commissar.

"Well, now that you're ready, wait for the time to begin. As for what to do, I think that Commander Tai Shi Ci has his own measure, so I won't say more. ”

Yuan Chang nodded and didn't say anything more.

And under the city, the soldiers of Goguryeo have also been prepared. Then Gao Jianchang waved his big hand, and the stone throwing machine was operated by the Goguryeo soldiers, and huge stones were thrown towards the city. The siege equipment is the Central Plains people do not like to play things, naturally know how to protect, therefore, basically no soldiers will be hit, and only a few unlucky eggs, were scratched some skin; as the stone thrower began to work, the car was also put into the battlefield, the soldiers of several countries such as Mao, Fuyu, Nanwofu, etc., pushed the car fiercely towards the gate of Benxi City. Because of the suppression of the stone throwers, the archers could not be effective, so they had to let the rushing carts approach the city gates. Of course, behind the city gate, there were naturally soldiers waiting, and it was impossible to break open the city gate in a short time.

As for the boulder falling into the city, Yuan Chang and they were not worried at all. Because, now there is no one in Benxi City except for the soldiers.

But he said, "Why is that?"

To put it simply, Yuan Chang is ready to give up Benxi City. Of course, it was not that Yuan Chang was afraid of the union of several countries in Goguryeo, although they had a large number of troops, the elite of Youzhou was not afraid at all. However, Yuan Chang did not want his soldiers and horses to lose too much, so if he could use strategy, he would naturally use strategy to deal with the enemy.

Guo Jia had already prepared a plan for Goguryeo and them, and the first thing to do was to give up Benxi City. In ancient wars, the gains and losses of a city and a pool were very important, so many generals would rather live and die with the city than think of abandoning the city. However, Yuan Chang is not a product of the feudal era, as a good young man in the new century, he kept in mind what the great man said, don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one pool, the final victory is the most important. Therefore, although it was said that Benxi City could be victorious without giving up Benxi City, in order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, Yuan Chang naturally did not care about a city.

Of course, even if it is to abandon the city, it should not be too obvious, and it should be made the other party feel that they can't stand it before abandoning the city, rather than intentionally. Otherwise, after the people withdrew, Yuan Chang and they would have been able to leave Benxi City a long time ago, and there was no need to continue to defend such a city.

"Archer, rocket ready!"

Although sooner or later they will have to retreat, they should not let the other party get the city too easily. Therefore, Tai Shici was still calm and orderly.

Although the lethality of the trebuchet is powerful, however, it is not so fast every time it is fired. Goguryeo only knew that the siege was powerful, but they didn't know how to use it better. Every time the stone is installed, it directly swarms towards Benxi City. If it is commanded by the generals of the Central Plains, the attack of the catapult will definitely be carried out at intervals, and it will be able to continuously strike at the enemy. Of course, Gao Jianchang didn't understand this, so the archers in the city would take advantage of the opponent's loading stones to fight back. (To be continued.) )
