Chapter 227: Earplug cotton drums at night

Zhao Hui led an army of 40,000 and appeared under the city of Liaodong.

On the city wall, Gongsun Du's face was very ugly.

There were 40,000 people, but the original intelligence showed that Zhao Hui's vanguard was only more than 20,000 people.

If he had known that Zhao Hui had so many people, how could he only send fifteen thousand people.

"Gongsun Du, Gongsun Yu Gongsun Tang is dead, if you surrender, I can spare you from dying." Zhao Hui shouted while standing under the city wall.

"Zhao Hui, I didn't expect you to come to Liaodong secretly, but you don't want me to surrender, if you want Liaodong, just use your strength." Gongsun Du responded.

In the first place, if Gongsun Du didn't know that Zhao Hui had already come to Liaodong in person, he would not have become the king of Liaodong.

You can really find a wall and crash to death.

"Zhao Hui, Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao have sent troops, and your grain and grass have also been burned by me, I will see how long you can stay in Liaodong." Gongsun Du continued.

He just sent someone to inform Gongsun Zhan, and as for Gongsun Zhan now haunting and sending troops, Gongsun Du didn't know.

But it didn't affect him to say so.

Faced with Zhao Hui's 40,000 elite soldiers, Gongsun Du now needed to hit Zhao Hui's morale while raising the morale of his own army.

But the morale of Zhao Hui's soldiers is not something that Gongsun Du can hit with a few words.

40,000 people, all of whom already knew that the grain and grass had been burned, and the remaining grain and grass was only a few thousand stones.

These thousands of stones of grain and grass are simply not enough for them to return to Liaoxi.

So they have only one choice now, and that is to break through Liaodong City.

There was enough food and grass in the city.

"Gongsun Du, Liaodong City is broken, just tonight."

"I'm waiting for you, it's up to you to see if you have the ability." Gongsun Du frowned, not knowing why Zhao Hui told him that he would sneak attack tonight.

But even if Zhao Hui doesn't say it, Gongsun Du will make people be cautious tonight.

Zhao Hui did not rush to attack the city, but took 40,000 people and camped under the city of Liaodong.

Gongsun Du ordered the soldiers in the city to shoot with bows and arrows, but the arrows shot were blocked by the shield wall.

Gongsun Du did not dare to send troops and horses out of the city to interfere with Zhao Hui. After seeing that the bow and arrow were not a threat to Zhao Hui's army, he ordered it to stop.

After running two hundred miles, Zhao Hui's 40,000 people are not in a good state now.

Zhao Hui needed to conquer Liaodong in a battle, and he would not attack Liaodong City until the physical strength and spirit of the soldiers had not recovered.

If you can't break through Liaodong for the first time, it will have a great impact on the morale of Zhao Hui's soldiers and horses.

Food and grass are insufficient, but because these soldiers are elite and well-trained.

They believe in Zhao Hui, and they also believe in themselves.

At this moment, they all knew in their hearts that they would definitely be able to break through Liaodong City.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.

The first attack failed to defeat Liaodong, and the morale of the army dropped greatly, even if it was Zhao Hui, it was difficult to cheer up.

"Leave a group of people and let the others rest well tonight, and they are not allowed to get up without an order." After dinner, Zhao Hui commanded.

"Lord, aren't you going to attack the city tonight?" Zhou Cang Road.

Zhao Hui shook his head: "Have a good rest tonight and attack the city tomorrow morning." ”

Attacking a city at night, unless it can be successfully attacked, is more difficult than attacking a city during the day.

Regardless of whether Zhao Hui told Gongsun Du to attack the city at night, Gongsun Du would be on guard.

And there are no people from Zhao Hui in the city, so it is impossible to cooperate with Zhao Huili.

Zhao Hui was in a hurry to break through Liaodong City, but he was not so hot-headed that he was so hot-headed.

"Leave a group of people and go out and play drums at night."

Zhao Hui just wanted to make Gongsun Du think that he would definitely attack the city tonight.

Let Gongsun Du's soldiers be on guard tonight and dare not sleep.

When they are exhausted tomorrow, it will be time for Zhao Hui to attack the city.

"Okay." Zhou Cang immediately understood what Zhao Hui meant: "When I sleep at night, I let everyone below the head plug their ears." They must be kept in good spirits. ”

The soldiers did not immediately rest in their tents, but were led by their own commanders, sitting on the ground and singing that unity is strength.

The power of singing is very great, and it is very simple, and the soldiers of Zhao Hui under the city are singing.

The Liaodong defenders in the city listened curiously, but unconsciously, they also snorted.

was slapped a few times by their generals before he quieted down.

It was not until after dark that all the soldiers returned to their tents and lay down with cotton wool over their ears.

Everyone is waiting, and when they wake up, they will enter Liaodong City.

In the first half of the night, the barracks under the city were very quiet, and only normal soldiers patrolled.

On the city wall, the defenders of Liaodong had twice as many soldiers on guard as usual.

Even when a soldier is resting, he never leaves his armor and his hands from his gun.

Although they were all lying on the bed, no one was asleep, everyone was listening to the movement outside, thinking about when Zhao Hui would attack the city, and they wanted to rush out to defend the city as quickly as possible.

"Why hasn't there been any movement, do you think they will attack the city?"

The soldier who couldn't sleep, waited for a little half of the night, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to whisper.

"Then Zhao Hui said that he will win or lose tonight."

"What if he lied to us?"

"This ......, he is the state pastor, probably not."

"Can you believe the words of the enemy?"

"I don't think there will be a siege tonight, it's so dark, I'll sleep first."

These soldiers could all think that as the grandson of Taishou, how could they not doubt Zhao Hui's words.

But even if he was suspicious in his heart, Gongsun Du didn't dare to be careless.

Not only did these soldiers not sleep much, but Gongsun Du was also on the city wall tonight and did not return to the Taishou Mansion.

On the battlefield, the words of the enemy will definitely not be believed.

But tonight, it's not a question of whether Gongsun Du believes it or not, but that he must be prepared for a sneak attack.

Zhao Hui was short of food, and there was a good reason to launch a sneak attack at night.

However, it is also possible to see the walls heavily guarded and give up.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Just when the defenders of Liaodong were dazed and wanted to fall asleep, the earth-shattering war drums sounded under the city.

"It's coming, hurry up."

The Liaodong defenders, who were a little sleepy, rushed out of the barracks one by one without the urging of the generals.

It was only when they came to the city wall that the drums under the city were gone, and there was no one to be seen.

A little farther away, in Zhao Hui's camp, there were only a few torches, and the whole camp was very quiet.

"What's going on?"

The soldiers looked at each other, lingered on the walls for a while, and then, on the orders of the general, went back to sleep.

It's just that they lie down, and Liao Hua under the city took a team of people and beat the war drums.

The Liaodong defenders who had just lay down rushed out in a hurry.

As a result, when they arrived at the city wall, Liao Huayou led people back.

Gongsun Du stood on the city wall, frowning.

He knew what Zhao Hui meant.

But for a while, he didn't have a good way.
