Chapter 253: The Beginning of the War (4)
As the morning sun rises, wisps of golden light begin to dispel the coldness of the earth.
"You...... Is it finally here? ”
Gongsun Du looked at the Xianbei cavalry outside the city, which was almost out of sight, and there was no fear in his heart, only full of fighting spirit.
On the figures of the late Han Dynasty, in Gongsun Du's view, the first to recommend Cao Cao, the hero of the troubled times, and secondly, it should be Tanshi Huai. Cao Cao, after the eunuch, and the appearance is mediocre, but he can hold up a sunny day, if it is not for the ugliness of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, his reputation should be comparable to that of Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Dynasty Song Zu and others.
And the sandalwood locust, which is second only to him, is also a generation of heroes, and has established an incomparably large Xianbei. If it weren't for some reason and died too early, I'm afraid Xianbei really had the ability to swallow the Central Plains and achieve great things.
Cao Cao, Gongsun Du is now in a corner of Liaodong and can't be seen. The sandalwood locust is all in front of you, although you still can't meet with it, but there is a way to "peek at a glimpse and see the whole leopard".
Although it is far away and some can't see clearly, the high-spirited momentum of the Xianbei cavalry army that is indomitable and encroaches on the world can be easily felt.
"The elite of the royal court really deserves to be the elite of the royal court!" Gongsun Du's heart was slightly cold.
This Xianbei expedition had 50,000 elite cavalry gathered by various departments, that is, the 50,000 led by Geridoro yesterday. There are also 100,000 royal court cavalry, but they are the elite of the royal court carefully selected by Tan Shihuai in order to successfully win Liaodong this time.
Gongsun Du's eyes closed and looked at the soldiers defending the city.
The people of the border counties have always been harassed by foreign races, among which Xianbei is the worst. Therefore, the soldiers of the border counties have a lot of fear of foreign races. As far as Gongsun Du could see, all the soldiers shrank their heads slightly, looking at the Xianbei cavalry outside the city uneasily.
"Hey, if you want to have the momentum of swallowing the world, it seems that there is still a long way to go!" Gongsun Du sighed in his heart and thought, "Buyeo and Goguryeo have been defeated by me many times, but now there is no psychological disadvantage." It stands to reason that this Xianbei has been defeated twice, and its tribe has taken refuge, and it should be like this, but now ......"
Gongsun Du shook his head.
"It seems that I underestimated the impact of Tanshihuai's encroachment on most of the counties and counties in the three states of Jiyou and Youqi on the people at the bottom."
However, when Gongsun Du took a closer look, he found that there was still a deep hidden hatred in the eyes of his soldiers. It is probably due to the killing of parents and relatives, or the robbery of food at home.
"It's good to have hate!" Gongsun Du nodded again, because there is hatred, there is motivation, the motivation for revenge. Although Gongsun Du admires and admires Tanshi Huai, and looks forward to meeting with him, it does not mean that he will ignore the righteousness in vain, and as an enemy, he naturally has to defeat it.
The face of the traverser, I can keep it, I don't know if the other traversers can do it!
Gongsun Du suddenly thought blindly, and then said sonorously: "The Xianbei thieves are menacing, intending to kill my relatives and friends, loot property, and seize my city, and yesterday they even killed or injured thousands of robes, so——"
Taking a deep breath, Gongsun Du said in a more resolute and powerful voice: "Whether it is for relatives and friends, or for the family's belongings, or for the lives of Paoze, they must all be defeated!" ”
Gongsun Du stretched out his hand and pointed at the Xianbei army outside the city, and suddenly shouted angrily: "If you want to defeat them, you can only fight to the death!" Everyone, dare to fight to the death with a certain vow? ”
"Fight to the death!"
Huang Zhong had long wanted to fight Xianbei, but yesterday Gezhidoro suddenly retreated but he was very unhappy, and now when he heard Gongsun Du's words, he understood that the time for a big war had come, so he couldn't help but shout.
"Fight to the death!"
……
The soldiers defending the city couldn't help but chant in unison, and the momentum rose instantly, and there was no longer any fear, but only a strong fighting spirit.
"Huh?"
Tan Shihuai listened to the neat chanting, felt the rising momentum, his face couldn't help but change, and he couldn't help but hesitate when he was going to give the order to attack immediately. The morale of the defenders of Liaodong has increased greatly, and if they are killed at this time, they will inevitably encounter the most fierce resistance and increase unnecessary casualties.
"Up!"
Tanshi Huai finally decided to attack, as a Xianbei Shan Yu, how could he retreat because of such a trivial matter! However, the original 5,000 people became 10,000.
"This sandalwood can't be stupid, right, he sent 10,000 people up, is it to send him to death?" Huang Zhong was very surprised, "Yesterday, Geridoro Kedu also sent more than 40,000 people to besiege from three sides, could it be that yesterday was Tanshi Huai, and today this one is pretended?" ”
Gongsun Du said secretly: It's really cunning!
Hearing Huang Zhong's words, Gongsun Du explained: "There is a way that is one blow, then declines, and three is exhausted. As soon as the morale of our army was greatly boosted, Tanshihuai sent 10,000 people to attack, even if all of them died, it was only 10,000, which could not only reduce our morale, but also reduce casualties. ”
"When our morale drops to a certain point, he will send a large army to rush up, and he will be able to take the city in one fell swoop. It can be described as cunning! ”
"Hiss~" Huang Zhong gasped and said, "Tanshi Huai really deserves to be the lord of Xianbei, and it is really ...... to be able to come up with such a vicious plan in a short period of time Ruthless! ”
"But, my lord, why didn't he send only five thousand, or less, in that case, wouldn't there be fewer casualties?" Huang Zhong was very puzzled again.
Gongsun Du shook his head, did not explain, but shouted: "Release the arrow~"
It turned out that at this moment, the Xianbei cavalry had already rushed to the range of 100 zhang.
"Shoot the arrow...... Put~"
……
Sure enough, it is worthy of the elite of the Xianbei royal court, even if it was hit by the rain of arrows, rolling stones and sassal wood, but there were still several people who rushed to the city soon, compared with yesterday's Xianbei cavalry, the gap was very large.
Gongsun Du just glanced at it, not worried, and waved his hand: "Huang Duwei!" ”
"Lord, my subordinates are here!"
"Let's get ready!"
"Uh...... Yes, my lord! Huang Zhong almost didn't react, thinking that he was letting him make a move.
Gongsun Du didn't care what Huang Zhong thought, he went to the winged Dapeng Sword from the hands of his own soldiers, and said: "Divide a hundred people and stop them, a certain hope is not to really occupy the city wall, but also not to let them lose this 'opportunity'." ”
Huang Xu was stunned, not understanding what it meant. But he didn't refute, answered, and raised his knife to kill him: "Yes, lord!" ”
Although Huang Xu has been ill for many years, he has watched Huang Zhong and Huang Qing practice martial arts all the year round, and he has been exposed to it, plus the hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old ginseng, hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, as well as the practice of the Five Birds Opera, the martial arts are not bad, and they are enough to rank in the top five in Liaodong.
Seeing that Huang Xu did not go all out and killed all the Xianbei soldiers who killed the city, Gongsun Du couldn't help but nodded, and then turned his gaze to the motionless Xianbei cavalry outside the city.
"Now it's up to you to choose! Are you willing to miss this opportunity to 'break the city', hehe! ”
The corners of Gongsun Du's mouth hooked a dangerous arc, and he also subconsciously tightened the winged Dapeng knife in his hand. A halo suddenly flashed from the blade of the Dapeng Sword, as if he felt the breath of a great battle.
In an instant, a quarter of an hour passed, and there was no sign of increasing the number of troops in Tanshi Huai, but these elite fruits of the royal court were extraordinary, and with that little "advantage", there was a tendency to expand.
Gongsun Du frowned, ignored Huang Xu's killing eyes, waved his hand again, and said, "Go to a hundred more people, be sure to stop them, and don't let more people kill the city." ”
"Yes, my lord."
Of the five hundred soldiers, there were one hundred less again, and only three hundred people were around Gongsun Du.
Another half an hour passed, and the elite of the Xianbei Royal Court suffered heavy losses, but Tanshi Huai still had no intention of increasing troops. Gongsun Du's brows furrowed, and he really couldn't figure out what Tanshi Huai thought.
didn't have time for Gongsun Du to guess carefully, and finally his face turned cold, and he shouted: "Kill, kill them all!" ”
"Yes, my lord."
Huang Xu no longer kept his hand, but let a group of personal soldiers form a formation to kill the enemy, and after a short time, he killed all the elites of the Xianbei Royal Court who killed the head of the city one by one, and began to fight back with all his might, and the elites of the Xianbei Royal Court under the city were also killed or injured.
The Xianbei general who led the troops had no choice but to shout and choose to retreat, regardless of whether he would be punished by Tanshi Huai.
"Withdraw~"
