Chapter Seventy-Six: Withdrawal of Troops

"Chen Jingxuan! Give you another half day to think about it! If you don't open the city tomorrow and surrender! I'll go to Chengdu Mansion to find you for tea! Glancing at the dust and smoke gradually drifting away in the distance, Lin Feng urged the horse to walk forward for a while, and shouted to Chen Jingxuan and the others who were still immersed in shock at the head of the city, and then regardless of whether the other party heard it clearly or not, he turned the horse's head and waved his hand to the generals behind him, and laughed: "Withdraw!" Back to camp for dinner! ”

Li Xiaofeng, Zhou Chen and others in front of the formation patted their horses to follow Lin Feng, spared the large army array and left first from one side. The three thousand-man regiments of the Thunder Pioneer Regiment followed closely behind and withdrew first, and then the 20,000-strong army protected the ten huge ballistas and slowly retreated, until the dust and smoke raised by the large army gradually disappeared, Mao Hao rode his horse to the side of the winged cavalry regiment, waved his spear, spread the wings behind him, and withdrew in unison.

After watching all the Feng family troops withdraw, Chen Jingxuan and the others were relieved, and they all breathed a long sigh of relief, and their tense bodies and nerves also relaxed at the moment when the winged cavalry retreated, as if they had lost more than ten pounds in an instant, and the armor on their bodies made a burst of sounds, as if they didn't fit at all.

"General, what next? The siege weapons of the Feng family army are too advanced! It's so powerful! A cronie slowly withdrew his gaze from the city and shifted it to Chen Jingxuan, who was full of sluggishness.

"yes, yes, what defense should we use?"

"That was a pit four or five meters deep just now! If this is smashed on the city wall, I am afraid that it will fall in a few clicks! ”

The rest of the generals began to echo one after another, all discussing how powerful the ballista was and how they could not bear it.

Just when everyone was chattering and arguing, Chen Jingxuan's face became more and more heavy, and even turned purple, and when he was about to open his mouth to scold everyone, a middle-aged general behind him who had not spoken spoke spoke, first took a step forward and stood slightly beyond Chen Jingxuan's position, and then inadvertently cast his head sideways to Chen Jingxuan with a meaningful look, after Chen Jingxuan closed his lips that had been slightly open again, the middle-aged man nodded slightly, raised his arms and bowed to the people in front of him, and laughed softly: " The generals are quiet for a moment, can you listen to the next word? In fact, the Feng family army is far from being as powerful as it seems on the surface! ”

Hearing this, everyone stopped discussing and shifted their attention to the middle-aged man. Immediately, everyone closed their mouths tightly, because the middle-aged man in front of them was not easy to mess with. This person is Chen Jingxuan's most powerful subordinate, but he has never been in charge of the army, but has always been by Chen Jingxuan's side from beginning to end.

The middle-aged man has the surname Gongsun, and his single name is a cloud character. Exactly where they are from, no one knows except Chen Jingxuan and Gongsun Yun himself. And Gongsun Yun's origin is even more unknown to everyone, but I remember that when Chen Jingxuan took over as the envoy of Jiannan Daojiedu, Gongsun Yun was already by Chen Jingxuan's side, and as long as it was an important occasion, Gongsun Yun would inevitably accompany Chen Jingxuan.

In the past few years, there were still many generals present who wanted to win some favor with Gongsun Yuntao, so that they wanted Gongsun Yun to say some good things for him, so that he could be promoted faster in the future. However, no one could succeed, because in their memory, Gongsun Yun would never talk to everyone more than ten sentences at a time, or even five sentences, except for some necessary circumstances!

But despite this, the generals present can be regarded as having been in high positions for many years, and their minds are naturally not too stupid, and they will definitely not regard Gongsun Yun as a simple general. Generally speaking, a relatively cold and arrogant performance like Gongsun Yun is generally either a self-righteous waste material or a master with a strong mind. Naturally, everyone will only regard Gongsun Yun as the latter, and will not be stupid and generally see him as a waste material.

Seeing that Gongsun Yun suddenly smiled and spoke, everyone was extremely surprised, and they all smiled and bowed back, and no one spoke, because everyone knew Gongsun Yun's temper, so they would not have a hot face and a cold ass, and a bunch of nonsense may not be good in the end.

"In fact, although the Feng Family's performance just now looks very strong, in fact, they are not as strong as they see on the surface, some are strong and some are weak!" Seeing that everyone shut up one after another, and after the scene returned to quiet, Gongsun Yun gestured again, repeating what he had just said, and then straightened his right arm, pointed to the place where the ballista exploded just now in the distance under the city, raised his hand and patted the city wall in front of him, looked sideways at everyone and said with a smile: "Generals, you can compare, how can the land under the city be compared with the hard city wall of our Chengdu Mansion?" Also, even if their cavalry is very strong, they can't let the cavalry ride their horses to crash into the city walls, right? ”

"Yes, General Gongsun is right!"

"yes, why didn't you think of it just now!"

"If that's the case, then we just have to hold on!"

The people who reacted from the shock also began to gradually regain their composure, especially after Gongsun Yun's words and guidance, they suddenly realized, and then gradually regained some self-confidence, not as decadent as before, and even the waist that had just bent down inadvertently began to straighten up.

"One more point! All the generals should know! Gongsun Yun saw that a smile began to appear on everyone's faces, and continued to analyze and cheer everyone: "According to the character of the commander of the Feng family's army, Zhongwuhou, if he is sure to capture Chengdu Mansion in one fell swoop, do you think he will come over to play such a knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger?" ”

"Ahh Yes! Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger! A general in the crowd exclaimed, patted his bright head and laughed: "Why didn't we think of it just now, it's obvious that it's here to scare us!" ”

"Yes, General Zhang is right! His intention today is to frighten us, to demoralize us, to disturb our morale! Gongsun Yun glanced appreciatively at General Zhang, who had just answered, then shook his head and sighed and smiled: "Hey! Marquis Zhongwu is really well-intentioned! I came here today to show the strength of the Feng family's army, and to force us to submit, so as to achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight. ”

"Humph! Think beautifully! If you have the ability, let the cavalry regiment under his command attack it! There must be no return for him! Another general crooked his nose and snorted and said a big thing, not remembering how frightened he had just now for fear of a real siege. But despite this, none of the other generals present came out to debunk him, after all, no one was much better than anyone else just now.

Seeing this, Gongsun Yun knew that the goal had been simply achieved, smiled at everyone, bowed again, and said calmly: "Next, it is up to the generals to work together!" ”

"If General Gongsun has any orders, just say it directly, I don't dare to disobey!"

"Yes, yes! If you have any commands, just say it! We just do it! ”

Looking at the generals who had regained their confidence again, Gongsun Yun turned sideways and smiled at Chen Jingxuan behind him, and then smiled at everyone: "First of all, the generals must first appease the morale of the army, morale is the most important!" Secondly, be sure to strengthen the city defenses to avoid being attacked! Zhongwu Hou often uses this trick, and it is a hundred times unpleasant! After receiving everyone's affirmative reply, Gongsun Yun turned to Chen Jingxuan and smiled: "In the end, it's Chen Jiedu's matter, if you want to arrange the elite to take care of the granary of Hongfeng Mountain, you must not lose!" In addition, a large amount of grain and grass needs to be transferred to the city in order to hold on! And that's the most important thing! ”

"Good! This section will leave this most important task to you, the defenders of Hongfeng Mountain are under your full command, and another 2,000 people will be selected from the city and the forbidden army to expand! Crowned the general of the three products of rebellion! Chen Jingxuan's simple sentence elevated Gongsun Yun, who did not have a single soldier under him, to a position where all the surrounding generals were jealous, and a general with 20,000 soldiers in his hands.

"The last general will not be dishonored!" Gongsun Yun thanked him aloud.
