Chapter 256: The Beginning of the War (7)
"Gongsun Xiao'er, dare to do this!"
Tanshi Huai watched thousands of horsemen being killed, and hundreds of horsemen were forced to surrender, and he was almost stunned.
"Old fellow! Dare to offend my state and county, looking for death? Gongsun Du was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he scolded back, and at the same time did not forget to let people go to the gap on both sides to block the Xianbei cavalry. But at the bottom of my heart, I was secretly anxious: why haven't you come back yet?
It is not so simple to make a collapse pit, and there are more than 1,000 people who were ambushed early, so that after the signal is issued, dozens of pits can collapse almost at the same time. These more than 1,000 people have been in ambush for more than ten days, and they have made such great achievements, Gongsun Du naturally will not let them die after completing the task, and the retreat route has been arranged early, and now it is to meet them. It stands to reason that it should have arrived as early as the time to deal with the thousands of horsemen, but now that the Xianbei cavalry has finished killing, they have all begun to fight with their mouths, and they have not yet appeared, I am afraid that there was an accident.
"Gongsun Xiao'er, he actually used a trick to kill my Xianbei Erlang, if you open the city and surrender immediately, Ben Danyu can still spare your life, otherwise, the day the city is broken, it will be the time to slaughter the city!" Tanshi Huai coldly threatened. Although he didn't know what Gongsun Du was doing, he didn't even withdraw it, but he also wanted to delay a little more time to buy time for his subordinates to kill them.
"The old horseman of the sandalwood acacia!" Gongsun Du is really angry, Tan Shihuai, an old man, a "Gongsun Xiaoer" and a "Gongsun Xiaoer", is really too deceitful, and he also threatens to slaughter the city, which has deeply touched his bottom line.
"Now let you be rampant, after you die in a few years, don't blame you for taking your Xianbei knife!" Although Gongsun Du was angry, he had not lost his mind yet, and he had no idea of rushing out to fight with him.
After a pause, Gongsun Du provoked the other Xianbei people and said: "Tanshi Huai has only six or seven years to live, if you have ideas, hurry up and prepare!" Otherwise, after the death of Tanshi Huai, he will kill you one by one and cut off your heads, so that you will not be able to return to the immortal heaven after death! ”
"Gongsun Xiaoer's ......"
Tanshi Huai's roar, Gongsun Du didn't pay any more attention.
Huang Zhong also knew the inside story, and he was also very anxious in his heart, seeing that the battlefield was about to be cleaned up, he came to Gongsun Du's side and said, "Lord, they may have retreated from the other way, should we withdraw first?" ”
Gongsun Du pondered for a moment and said, "Wait a little longer!" Although they can retreat through another secret passage, the exit of that secret passage is not far away, and they have to return to the city, so it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents. ”
Huang Zhong also understood this, nodded when he heard this, and said, "Yes, lord!" Then, Huang Zhong took his bow with his sword, always ready to help the soldiers on the left and right who were blocking the Xianbei cavalry.
After waiting for a while, after each side lost hundreds of people, Gongsun Du sighed in his heart and said, "Withdraw~"
"The lord has an order, withdraw to the city!" Huang Xu was preparing for a long time, and immediately shouted.
Gongsun Du and the others quickly retreated, seeing that Tanshi Huai was in a hurry, and shouted urgently: "Gongsun Xiao'er is leaving!" Have the ability to come and fight! ”
"Humph!"
Gongsun Du really wanted to return to fight with him, but although he lost 70,000 or 80,000 people yesterday and today, there are still nearly 80,000 people, of which at least 50,000 have not been injured in the slightest.
Originally, there were 38,000 defenders in the city, but they lost more than 10,000 people in the past two days, leaving more than 20,000 people, and it was the best choice to hold on to the city.
"Old guy, if you don't want to die earlier, I advise you not to anger you, otherwise, today next year will be your death day!" After Gongsun Du finished speaking, he laughed and stepped into the city gate.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
Huang Zhong and the others heard that the Han army was also infected by Gongsun Du's pride, and they all laughed.
After laughing, Gongsun Du felt a burst of joy and couldn't help but extend a thumbs up to Huang Zhong and the others.
"Hey, hey!" Although Huang Zhong and the others didn't know why this was the case, they were still happy.
It's just that they are happy, but the sandalwood outside the city is angry.
The laughter fell on his ears more harshly than a hundred, a thousand provocative, insulting words.
"Gongsun Xiao'er, this order will break your body into thousands of pieces, and will also let millions of people in Liaodong bury you for you!" Tanshi Huai didn't care if Gongsun Du could hear it, and shouted arrogantly.
"Whew, Whew, Whew~"
Tanshi Huai took a few more breaths, and then looked at the dangerous city twice, and the subordinates who were suppressed by the rain of arrows under the city: "We will also withdraw~"
In the afternoon, until the soldiers who were ambushed in the pit returned, Tanshihuai did not attack the city again, but sent people to Gongsun Du to express a temporary truce to collect the corpses of the soldiers who died in the battle. Gongsun Du thought about it and agreed.
The next day, because of the pit in the west of the city, Tanshi Huai turned to attack the south gate. was attacked head-on by Gongsun Du, who had expected it for a long time, and chose to retreat after leaving more than 2,000 corpses. Then, seeing that Gongsun Du had no intention of pursuing, Xu Shi actually killed back again, leaving more than a thousand people, and retreated again.
In this way, six or seven thousand people were lost one after another before they really retreated.
"What?"
Tanshi Huai's actions made Gongsun Du confused.
For five days in a row, either in the morning or in the afternoon, Xianbei was besieged, retreated, besieged, retreated, and retreated......
Each time there will be between two thousand and five thousand people left.
In total, Xianbei lost nearly 20,000 people again, and its strength was further weakened, leaving only 50,000 people, and many soldiers were slightly or seriously injured.
But Gongsun Du didn't mean to be happy at all, and by this time he also understood Tanshi Huai's thoughts. If you don't understand it again, Gongsun Du can just hit his head and die.
Every time Xianbei attacked the city, the soldiers under Gongsun Du were not without losses, but compared with Xianbei, it was much smaller, but the number of times was more, and in five days, they also lost a full 4,000 people, about only about one-third or a quarter of Xianbei.
"Boiled frogs in warm water!" Gongsun Du's face was quite ugly, and when he counted the number of people today, he found that he had fallen for Tanshi Huai's trick, and now there are only more than 16,000 people left.
"Tanshi Huai is really Tanshi Huai, it is really cunning!"
Gongsun Du scolded indignantly. Then he was quite worried, because of the successive wars, Tan Shi Huai not only deliberately weakened the power in his hands, but also wantonly destroyed the city wall, and now if Tan Shi Huai let the remaining 50,000 troops in his hands attack desperately, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold out for an hour, and the city will be destroyed.
"My lord, what should we do now? Is it true that you want to do that? Huang Zhong also had a dignified face, he asked himself if his martial arts were superb, but after several days of fighting, he also clearly knew the strength of the Xianbei cavalry, although it was still not his enemy, but the number of more than 1,000 could bring him great trouble, if it was more than 10,000, I am afraid it would be difficult to run, and he had to have a peerless horse. What's more, there are still 50,000 people in Xianbei now, and they are not opponents.
Gongsun Du didn't reply immediately when he heard this, but wondered if the "do that" in Huang Zhong's mouth was really the time to do that. Trapping is just the first way that Gongsun Du discussed with Wei You and others, they don't think that they can defeat Xianbei and Tanshi Huai so easily.
However, once "do that", it is dangerous, and maybe there will be no danger in the future.
After a long time, Huang Zhong saw that Gongsun Du was silent for a long time, and his heart was anxious, and he couldn't help shouting: "Lord Gong......"
"Huh?" Gongsun Du suddenly raised his hand and said, "Then do that, but the speed must be fast, especially not to let Tanshi Huai find out." ”
"Yes, my lord!" Huang Zhong was overjoyed and responded loudly.
Immediately, Huang Zhong retreated, and Huang Xu, under the order of Gongsun Du, began to ask the pro-army team to pack up.
