Chapter 274: Repeating the Old Trick

The attack of the official army was expected by the Goguryeo chieftain, and what he did not expect was that the attack of the official army would come so quickly. Now that the officers and soldiers have sent troops, it means that the officers and soldiers have been assembled. Gongsun Du already had enough strength to confront the Goguryeo tribes, even much higher than the Goguryeo tribes.

The leader exhaled deeply, and a determined look appeared in his eyes again: "How many soldiers and horses are there in the official army?" ”

"The county seat of Liaodong and several surrounding counties have only 30,000 soldiers." The soldier raised his eyes and glanced at the leader, and then added: "But in addition to these 30,000 soldiers, there are also 30,000 officers and iron cavalry led by Taishi Ciqin. ”

When he first heard the first half of the soldier's sentence, the leader's nervous demeanor relaxed slightly, and the soldiers and horses of the three counties were just a rabble when they were combined, because they had no experience in joint operations, and the troops had no cohesion. Although the number of soldiers is large, but the leader does not take it to heart, as long as the leader leads more than 10,000 soldiers to attack the Chinese army, and the Gongsun Du who leads the soldiers to fight is killed, as long as the Gongsun Du is killed, the hearts of the officers and soldiers will inevitably be in chaos, at that time, don't look at the official army There are 30,000 soldiers, it is just 30,000 pigs to be slaughtered.

The leader had already made an attack plan in his heart, but when the soldier said the other half of the sentence, the indifference on the leader's face immediately dissipated, and he was shocked: "30,000 soldiers in Youzhou?!" ”

The shock of this sentence to the leader of Goguryeo was indeed to the extent that it was difficult to repeat, and the 30,000 cavalry of Youzhou was his fierce opponent. These 30,000 soldiers are not like the Liaodong officers and soldiers who have been cobbled together, they have lived together for many days, and they have the experience of coordinating against the enemy many times, and they must have cooperated with each other very tacitly. Moreover, it was led by Zhao Yi's trusted general Tai Shici, which shows that the official army is determined to win this time, and the combat effectiveness of this cavalry must no longer be below the soldiers of his own tribe, or even surpassed.

"Chief, now that 60,000 soldiers from Youzhou are attacking, how will our troops deal with it?" The general's face also became ugly. The news that the soldiers of Jiwei's department were annihilated by all the officers and soldiers just now has made him a little panicked, and now this news has made the general even more chaotic, his tribe now only has more than 10,000 soldiers, and An can block the 60,000 soldiers of the official army [tick recommendation].

He even thought of the officers and soldiers galloping through his tribe now.

The leader was actually very flustered in his heart, but he still forced himself to stand up: "Gather the men of the tribe between the ages of fourteen and sixty to gather in the school field!" Since we have done something wrong, we have to bear the consequences. ”

The general nodded and bowed down to prepare, he already understood what the leader meant. Now the Goguryeo tribe has no way to avoid it, so they can only raise all their strength and fight to the death with the officials and soldiers.

When the military tent was empty, the leader held on to the pillar with a sad face, and said helplessly: "Could it be that the Goguryeo tribe is going to be destroyed in his own hands?" ”

The war drums that had been idle for a long time suddenly resounded over the Goguryeo tribe, and the sound of the war drums also struck in the hearts of the people.

The subordinates did not dare to hesitate, hurriedly ran out of the tent, the war had not yet begun, but the nervousness had spread among the Goguryeo tribes, seeing the fourteen-year-old and sixty-year-old men, they quickly went to Dianjiangtai to gather, and the remaining old and weak women and children couldn't help but look up at the sky, and secretly said in their hearts that the Goguryeo tribe was in danger this time.

This action of the leader caused the number of tribal soldiers to swell from more than 10,000 to 40,000. However, the leader knew that the combat strength of these 40,000 soldiers could only be regarded as 25,000 at most, and compared with the elite soldiers of the officers and soldiers, some of the soldiers in the army were simply vulnerable.

But now the tribal leader has no choice, because now the Youzhou official army has no other choice at all. The leader stepped up to the point of general and explained the current situation to the subordinates, because only by telling the truth about the situation and being forced into a desperate situation can the subordinates have the courage and courage to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers.

Although the leader adjusted the morale of his subordinates to the highest level in two simple sentences, the leader also knew that although this mobilized the enthusiasm of the soldiers, it also pushed the subordinates into the fire pit, and there was no chance of winning at all when fighting with the 60,000 soldiers of the official army.

This point is different from the Goguryeo tribe and the Xiongnu tribe, although the Qiangqu and 50,000 soldiers died in the hands of Zhao Yi, but the Xiongnu tribe and Youzhou are not directly bordered, and there is also a gap between Kebineng and Budugen Xianbei tribe, the brigade of officers and soldiers entered, if they were attacked by these three Yi tribes, at that time, the officers and soldiers without foreign aid would die and have no place to be buried [Di Da recommended].

However, the distance between the Goguryeo tribe and Youzhou was too close, and the official army could attack the Goguryeo tribe at will.

Now that there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, the leader did not take offensive measures, but turned the attack into defense, so that his tribe could support it for a while longer.

The leader shrunk behind the carriage, staring intently at the clouds of dust rising in the southwest direction.

With 30,000 soldiers from Tai Shi Ci to help, Gongsun Du's confidence has increased greatly, and now there are 60,000 soldiers in the official army, even if there is no trickery, the Goguryeo soldiers are definitely not their opponents.

But when he came to the Goguryeo tribe and saw Goguryeo's defensive posture, Gongsun Du's face suddenly became ugly.

Tai Shi Ci saw the appearance of the Goguryeo tribe fully armed, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes, this scene was very similar to the situation of the Qiu Li residence department the day before.

If the official army attacked, it would be equivalent to fighting against the hundreds of thousands of troops in Goguryeo and falling into the battlefield of the troops, even if the official army could win, there would be few of these 60,000 soldiers left.

Wen Chou walked to the front with a gun and crossed his horse to scold the formation, but the leader was ready to defend to the death, so he did not send his generals out of the city to meet the battle, but used arrows to resist Wen Chou.

Seeing the dense rain-like feathered arrows rushing towards him, Wen Chou hurriedly turned his horse's head and ran back, "The Goguryeo tribe is all some gutless rats. Wen Chou snorted lightly, looking down on Goguryeo's style.

Gongsun Du didn't say anything, it is understandable for a person to do anything in order to save his life. With Tai Shi Ci in Gongsun Du, he didn't dare to give orders like before, but turned his head and asked Tai Shi Ci: "General, how should we deal with it now?" ”

At this distance, Tai Shi Ci and his more than 1,000 crossbowmen were confident that they would shoot crossbow arrows into the camp of the tribes, causing casualties among the Goguryeo soldiers and sporadic casualties among the tribes, which did not help the attack on the Goguryeo tribes.

"Although the situation is now favorable to our army, if the Goguryeo soldiers are forced too tightly, even if we capture the Wuhuan tribe, I am afraid that very few of these 60,000 soldiers will survive. Today's scene is very similar to the day before yesterday, when Lord Zhao besieged the Qiu Liju tribe. Tai Shici objectively talked about the current situation between the two sides.

"Oh?" Gongsun Du's glasses lit up, and since there was an example, it was easy to say, "May I ask the general, how did Lord Zhao act that day?" ”

Tai Shici explained Zhao Yi's solution, and then added: "Since the situation of the two departments is so similar, why don't we also solve this matter according to Lord Zhao's method?" ”

Gongsun Du nodded and agreed, and it was also a good choice to negotiate peace with the Goguryeo tribe. Now that the two officers and generals have reached a consensus, Wen Chou naturally has no opinions.

As for the conditions of the peace talks, they were similar to those of the Qiuliju tribe, that is, to let the Goguryeo tribe hand over the looted property. There is no person who threads the needle like gradually leaving, in order to express his conditions for peace talks, Gongsun Du automatically invited Ying to go to the Goguryeo tribe.

The leader of the official army was very surprised in his heart, and now the situation is extremely favorable to the official army, why do he still send envoys to come, although the leader's heart is very strange, but he still invites this Gongsun Du to come in.

Gongsun Du, who entered the tribe, glanced at the general and the Goguryeo leader in the military tent, but the leader did not ask questions, and Gongsun Du did not speak.

The leader saw that Gongsun Du was not intimidated by the formation he had created, and secretly said in his heart that this Gongsun Du was really brave and knowledgeable, and finally the leader did not hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked: "Why did the general come to my tribe?" ”

Gongsun Du slowly spoke: "For the sake of the future of your department, I will negotiate peace with the leader on behalf of the Youzhou official army." ”

"Peace talks?" This Goguryeo leader is indeed not as resourceful as Qiu Liju, and when Qiu Liju heard Zhao Yi say the word peace, he immediately thought of Zhao Yi's purpose, but the Goguryeo leader was different, and he did not understand what the intentions of the officials and soldiers were [the latest chapter]. Although I can't understand the intentions of the officials and soldiers, the peace talks will benefit my tribe and do no harm.

The leader asked: "Are there any conditions for peace talks between the officials and the army?" ”

"Just need the leader to return the looted Youzhou property." Gongsun Du said his request lightly.

"It's as simple as that?" This leader had an extremely incredible expression in his eyes, and this condition was simply too easy for this Goguryeo leader. Those possessions were nothing compared to the lives of the people.

"There is another condition, that is, please ask the leader not to invade Youzhou again during his lifetime."

Even if Gongsun Du didn't mention this condition, he wouldn't dare to invade Youzhou again, firstly, the strength of the Youzhou official army exceeded his imagination, and even if he wanted to attack, he would not be able to do so. To say the least, it will take more than ten years for the Goguryeo tribe to recover.

Hearing Gongsun Du's condition, the leader nodded and agreed.

The matter of peace talks was easier than Gongsun Du imagined, and it did not take a quarter of an hour for the two sides to reach a consensus.

At the behest of the tribal leader, the Goguryeo tribe sent out the looted goods and was escorted back by the official army.

Seeing that the crisis that was about to break out ended in this way made the Goguryeo soldiers a little incredulous, but also glad in their hearts.

"Now that the officers and troops have retreated, our department can take this time to recuperate." The general exhaled deeply, he really couldn't imagine how he would have responded if the official army had attacked just now.

The leader sighed deeply: "General, you are wrong about this, the real danger for us has just begun. ”
