Chapter 26: The Sacrificial Flag
After a day and a half of hard work in Zaoyuan, when Gongsun Xun was living like a year, waiting for the life-urging talisman behind him in horror, one afternoon in the middle of the month, the life-urging talisman did not wait, but waited for the reconnaissance cavalry in front to report that a large number of enemy troops were approaching in the southeast.
It is difficult to judge the exact number, but the Goguryeo cavalry of the former army riding fruit horses, and even mules and donkeys were no less than seven or eight thousand! As for the total, it can only be said that there are 30,000 to 50,000, or even more.
When Gongsun Xun heard the information, he was shocked at first, and then he broke out in a cold sweat in the cold winter, and finally looked up to the sky and laughed!
It is true that I made the right bet, but if I can't hold it and rush out before, I'm afraid that I will end up with no place to bury!
However, when I think about it the other way, I think about it, and the situation is reversed!
To put it bluntly, although there were many people coming from the other side, only 10,000 of them were standing soldiers with war experience and military training, and the rest were mostly strong men who had been temporarily mobilized. And although the weather was sunny, it was still winter, and the Goguryeo people were not as well equipped as their own, and they did not have as much food and grass as their own, and then they still attacked the garrison in the wilderness completely, and what about the strength of one to five, or even one to six?
You are 50,000, I am 8,000, you attack, I will defend, see who can't hold it first! And at that time, when the whole Goguryeo army is dispersed, it will naturally be time for the army to attack and sweep the hinterland of Goguryeo!
In fact, when Gongsun Xun analyzed these words to the officers and non-commissioned officers under his command, everyone was also excited. Many generals were even more patient with Gongsun Xun's previous patience, such as Mo Hu and others, and they couldn't help but pat their ass and claim that 'the adults are martial and wise, and the enemy is the first'...... Gongsun Xun was embarrassed, so he couldn't help but praise Lou Zibo again, after all, the latter was also rare to give an idea that proved to be stupid but also proved to be effective on such an important issue.
When the strategists have achieved this step, they can no longer be said to be semi-finished products, and there are still six or seven percent.
In addition, Gongsun Xun also took the opportunity to comfort the rest of the people...... Jian Ju was obviously deceived, after all, judging from the relationship between the Buyeo people and the Goguryeo people and the Han people, it is unlikely that this guy is a dumb and worrying undercover agent.
At present, the great enemy needs the full assistance of the Buyeo people.
And it turned out that Gongsun Xun's timely relief to the Buyeo people was particularly correct, because it was only at noon on the second day that the excitement of the whole army disappeared without a trace......
Rao is everyone knows in their hearts, Rao is everyone knows that they have a strong camp to rely on, and Rao is everyone understands that they are the dominant side, but when the boundless Goguryeo army held countless golden frog flags and blocked the wide passage in the southeast of Zaoyuan, everyone still inevitably changed color in unison!
"Native Chicken ......"
Not long after the temporary reconstruction, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh loudly on the high platform of the large camp specially designed to deal with the invading enemy of the southeast passage...... However, he felt embarrassed before he finished laughing, because he really couldn't say the words 'local chicken and tile dog' in this posture in front of him. Even according to the original plan, he should have released the Wuhuan Rush for a while at this time, but at this time, he never mentioned it.
This is not the same thing as the night attack on Luronsai that day, when thousands of people on the opposite side of the road to the north of Lulongsai seemed to be sparse, and when the eyes were black at night, nothing could be seen. Today, the 40,000 or 50,000 Goguryeo army is in a tight formation, blocking the Qianshan Pass in front of them. And if you look closely, the Goguryeo army is surrounded by hilly cavalry riding fruit horses and mule horses, the front row in the middle is spearmen, sword and shield bearers wearing iron armor and leather armor, and the back row is only wearing gray and thick cloth military uniforms, all of them are armed with bows and crossbows...... It's quite orderly!
It can even be said that in the winter noon sun, the mules and horses, spears, drums, iron armor, leather armor, shields, bows and arrows in the Goguryeo army array, although they are all kinds of colors, although the texture is unbearable at a glance, but they still show a different kind of majesty because of the accumulation of numbers, and then they are also rolling forward with the advance of the military formation...... If you really dare to go out of the camp and line up in this formation, a thousand Wuhuan cavalry will be shot into hedgehogs by a round of arrows!
In fact, he has seen a lot of battles, and the so-called collapse who patted his chest and invited himself to rush into battle before turned pale at this time.
"Although the enemy's momentum is strong, the way to attack and defend is to not stop demoralizing the opponent." Gongsun Xun saw that no one cared about his 'local chicken and tile dog', so he quickly changed his words, he also needed these thousand Wuhuan people to help guard the camp, so it was better not to scatter it at will. "As long as we stabilize the situation and hold it for a few days, such a huge military formation on the other side will become a drag day by day!"
Everyone stood on the defensive platform, looking at the slaves and people who gradually appeared behind the tens of thousands of troops...... Even the female husbands have bowed their heads in agreement!
After all, at this moment, even a fool can see and calculate, and the Goguryeo army in front of them, although it is fighting locally, is still doing their best to mobilize the country...... In the cold winter of the lunar month, if they can't attack the camp under their feet and others for three or five days, then they will lose seventy or eighty percent of their hope; And if it can't be attacked for seven or eight days, then the opponent's only choice is to retreat, and then count on the fact that there are not enough people on their side when they are chasing, or the knife has become dull when they defended before!
The real problem, though, is that you have to start with the situation in front of you and stay on for seven or eight days!
"Send a messenger to Ziheng immediately," Gongsun Xun immediately turned around and whispered to Wang Xiu, who was pale, after giving a sigh of relief to the officers. "Let him send all the armaments, grain and grass on the fork of the Liao River, and send all the prisoners to Xuansu County to the local people as slaves, and then leave only a thousand people in the camp...... Also, let him not care about any face, the stakes are very high, let me go to the nearest drama Taishou to ask for reinforcements! Then let Jian Ju also ask for reinforcements from the Buyeo people! These are the only ones that have had time to work now! ”
Wang Xiu nodded hurriedly, but he pulled Fuyu Pig Jiajian to the side to talk for the time being.
"Shaojun," in the dreak, Lou Zibo was still able to grit his teeth and take the initiative to speak. "We have to boost our morale, otherwise the first two days will be extremely difficult!"
"What do you think?" Gongsun Xun earnestly asked.
"That Miru, pull out the white horse flag to sacrifice you!" Lou Gui gritted his teeth and suggested.
Gongsun Xun looked up at the red background and white horse flag above his head, but he nodded decisively, and Lou Zibo hurriedly went down to mention someone when he saw this.
However, just as everyone was waiting for Miru to come up, the situation in front of them changed again...... The Goguryeo army was stable in front of the camp, and then the left and right flags and sergeants dodged away, and instead walked out of a small old man on a horse, carefully looking at the camp in front of him, which was obviously prepared.
And with the appearance of this person, the two armies that were stable gradually quieted down.
"What a big momentum, could it be that this is Minglin's husband?" Mo Hu sneered.
"There is a bordered golden frog flag behind him, which seems to be a sign of Goguryeo's detachment," Xu Rong said with a frown. "Then this person should be the Goguryeo minister Ming Lindafu......"
"Is the righteous father enough?" Gongsun Xun did not hesitate to turn around and ask his henchmen.
Of course, Han Dang understood what his lord meant, but after making a gesture, he still shook his head: "It's too far!" ”
"Then forget it," Gongsun Xun couldn't help but shake his head. "It's good to shoot an arrow to death, but if you can't shoot it, you will not only laugh and be generous, but also boost the morale of the other party...... What is he going to do?! ”
It turned out that just as the officers on the Han army's side were condescendingly discussing Ming Lin's answer, the Goguryeo Mo Lizhi suddenly turned around and said a few words to the people around him, and then a group of Goguryeo soldiers with a strange style suddenly turned out on his side...... It is strange because this group of armored soldiers are all cavalrymen riding oxen, and the oxen are all riding wooden wheels......
"Is this to plough the land?" Lou Zibo, who had just come up with Miru, couldn't help but be curious. "Or is it some pre-battle custom of the Goguryeo people?"
"This is going to be executed before the battle!" The Buyeo pig Jia Jian, who had already finished talking to Wang Xiu, suddenly explained in a loud voice. "And it's the punishment of cracking the ox, I heard that there is a similar criminal law among the Han people, but it is ...... with chariots and horses."
"The car cracks!"
"Five horses split into corpses!"
"Who's the car cracking?"
Everyone suddenly realized, but they were immediately puzzled.
"We've had a couple of scouts before who didn't come back." Someone immediately thought of a possibility.
"If it's really our people, we'll shoot them all at once," Mudon immediately suggested, and several of the scouts were his Wu Huan subordinates. "First, to free their own brothers, and second, to slaughter these Goguryeo people who were executed together...... They are all armor soldiers, and they are directly subordinate to Ming Lin's husband, and they don't lose anything if they kill them! ”
Gongsun Xun immediately bowed his head in approval, and Gongsun Yue on the side hurriedly showed his intention to the archer in front of the first fence in front of him.
"General, that's not the case." Jian Ju on the side hurriedly explained. "According to the custom of our Buyeo and Goguryeo people, only the nobles of their own clan would use this kind of punishment, and a full fifteen oxen were used here...... That must be a great nobleman on the Goguryeo side! ”
"They're going to kill their own people?" Duan Riyu Ming was immediately speechless. "Kill your own men in front of the two armies...... What's the use?! ”
Gongsun Xun was also speechless, but at this time, he suddenly felt that someone around him was pulling him, and when he looked back, it was Lou Zibo.
"What?" Gongsun Xun was puzzled for a while.
Lou Gui pointed to the corner of the high platform, and then still didn't speak.
Gongsun Xun followed the other party's instructions, but suddenly realized...... It turned out that the Zaihara guard, who was gagged and tied his hands and feet behind his back, that is, the dumb and worried brother Yaru, was kneeling straight on the platform under the pull of the soldiers, staring at the bull team in front with wide eyes and panic.
"It's going to be used to sacrifice the flag," Lou Gui couldn't help but explain to the crowd. "Since the ambush has failed, then Zaoyuan is so easy to change hands, you have to give an explanation to Goguryeo! In such a situation, isn't it the best scapegoat for the dumb and dumb brother who sits on the original guard? ”
In fact, there was no need for him to say more, because soon Gongsun Xun and the others saw with their own eyes that the big belly that used to feast and drink with them was dumb and worried, and was dragged out of the military formation like a livestock, and brought all the way to the front of the battle. Then, the patriarch of the five tribes of Goguryeo was stripped naked in public and put on a rope.
The Han army and the Goguryeo army were speechless for a while, and they all stared coldly at the movement here.
"Let go of him!" Gongsun Xun, who had been watching the movement in front of the camp in front of him, suddenly opened his mouth and commanded.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they realized that their general was referring to Miru, who was emotional, and then kept shaking his body, but it was difficult to speak, so he hurriedly followed his words.
"Brother!" As soon as he was able to speak, Na Miru shouted in front of him like crazy, and his voice was particularly piercing in front of the two armies that no one dared to speak. "You speak! You tell Mo Lizhi and our people that you are not a traitor! ”
The dumb and dumb man who was pressed to the ground, and then tied his limbs, glanced over with a dull expression, and opened his mouth to speak, but his mouth was full of blood...... It's like having your tongue cut out beforehand!
Miru immediately wailed and cried!
Ming Lin Dafu on the opposite side was also a little nervous and impatient when he saw the-stirring stick of Miru suddenly appear, so he immediately turned around while he was tied up in front of him, and asked a knight with a loud voice to explain something loudly to the Goguryeo officers and soldiers behind him in Goguryeo or Buyeo dialect.
And without Jian Zai's translation, the people present can probably guess that it is nothing more than saying that this dumb and dumb and Guan is a traitor, that is, they said that Zaoyuan was handed over to the Han people, and now Mo Lizhi Ming Lindafu is wise and martial, and has seen through the conspiracy of Guan Nabu, and then how to clarify the canonical punishment today, and how to reward and punish clearly, first execute the national thief, and then recapture Zaoyuan!
"It's not like that!" Miru was just crying and screaming, but when he heard these words, he couldn't bear it, so he knelt on the stage loudly and shouted back. "It's clear that Mo Lizhi said that he was going to die, and his two sons were useless, so he was going to pass on the throne to us to Guan or Huan, so that the two could make meritorious contributions to the position...... It was the order of Ming Lin to sit down, and my guard was also appointed by him himself! ”
"My brother is not a national thief!"
"There is no treason in our department!"
"Don't leave the branch and do things unfairly!"
All kinds of poignant rebuttals and questions, at first it was only in Goguryeo, and everyone could not hear it clearly, but later as the person opposite switched to Chinese, he also changed to Chinese...... I really heard the eyes of all the Han army officers.
However, no matter how Miru cried, the execution in the audience did not stop in the slightest.
With the sound of a strange musical instrument, the dumb and dumb limbs and head that were only trapped by ropes were suddenly straightened out of thin air by fifteen cows.
Miru didn't argue anymore, just a cry, and then turned to curse the opposite Minglin in a variety of languages...... And with that, after the dumb and dumb body was weirdly elongated, he turned to kowtow to Gongsun Xun again and again.
Gongsun Xun let out a long sigh, but finally nodded, and then the Han army archers at the front fence immediately fired arrows...... But before the arrow fell, there was a dumb thud, and it turned into several pieces like an exploding mushroom!
