845 Yijing Offensive and Defensive Battle (5)
The wind whistled in the night, carrying a little faint coldness, and the haze after the night fell, dispersed the smoke and fire of the day.
Yijing City's head is high, and the cold wind is whistling past, in fact, for the soldiers who stand up, it is still a little cold to say that it is not cold.
The sky was dark, and there was no starlight at all, only the moonlight, as if it was silently looking down, shouting and killing stupid humans all day.
Tian Yu raised his hand and pinched it on the back of his neck, he has been staying on the city wall since the change of guard during the day, just lighting the bonfire, but Tian Yu is quite persevering.
He had to endure the cold wind at night like the soldiers who defended the city, but after eating two flatbreads and a bowl of hot soup, he felt a lot warmer all over.
"Whew..."Spit out a breath of cold air, rubbed his hands, Tian Yu squatted down, drinking to warm the fire, looking at this scene, the eyes of the soldiers on the city wall were inexplicably moved.
"General, the night is cold, you better go down and rest, you are willing to stay here, if there is anything, I will inform you as soon as possible." The deputy general guarding the city pass couldn't stand it anymore, took two steps forward, and clenched his fists to persuade.
"As a general, you should be a pioneer... By the way, how did the things that you were asked to arrange before? Tian Yu shook his head, but he deliberately staggered the topic.
"I have all the wounded soldiers settled, but the weather is cold, the healing is very slow, I am afraid that there is no strength to fight again, and the soldiers who died in the battle ......" Referring to such a dull matter as disposing of the corpses of soldiers, the adjutant general frowned, his expression was a little grayer, "Their families have all taken ......"
"Ugh."
Tian Yu sighed with empathy, "They are all hard-working people, let the logistics distribute the materials, give as much as possible." ”
"No." The lieutenant clenched his fists.
"Well, you go down, I'll guard it again, and the third watch will come to change the guard again." Tian Yu comforted the lieutenant general.
"Alas, the general, I will take over from you in the third watch." The lieutenant retreated.
Tian Yu stood upright, stood on the wall, and looked down at the outside of the city pass, which was pitch black, but it seemed like a devouring giant beast.
Alas! The long night is long, and people have no intention of falling asleep.
"If you are tired, you might as well go back and rest and rest......" At the second watch, Gao Zhi, who went down to recuperate, walked up to the city, looked at Tian Yu, who was a little tired, and said.
"Then there is General Lao Gao, let's take a break for the time being, as soon as there is something, I will be notified as soon as possible, and someone will notify me, and I will rush to reinforcements at any time." Seeing that the person who came was Gao Zhi, Tian Yu's tone gradually softened, and nodded, after all, he stayed up too late, and he couldn't bear it after fighting for a day yesterday.
"Sir, rest assured, Gao will live up to his expectations!" Gao Zhi took Tian Yu's position and stood proudly on the wall with a gun.
...
There was no word all night, and the Yuan army did not make a night attack at night, but it was clear that the war would not end there.
In the early morning of the next day, after burying the pot and making food, the battle horns of the well-fed and well-fed Yuan army once again blew the drums, and tens of thousands of troops, with all the shields, lined up in a lineup, while defending against the arrows of the Youzhou soldiers on the Yijing City, and shooting at the Youzhou soldiers on the mound.
However, Yijing City Pass is a fortified city carefully built by Gongsun Zhan, not only a lot of grain, Gongsun Zhan created 500,000 arrows in order to prepare for the war, after the first battle, the arrows of the Yuan army were shot out and the arrows of the Youzhou soldiers were still endless, so that the Yuan army suffered heavy casualties.
Hacking to death the Yuan army who climbed the city wall, General Yi Jing shouted to the soldiers under his command, "Pour fire oil and burn the ladder!" ”
"Damn!" Yuan Shao originally saw that his soldiers had already attacked the city wall, but in a blink of an eye, he even burned two ladders, and he slapped the horse's buttocks with some anger and shouted, "Give me a counterattack!" ”
The sound of fighting sounded again.
The Yuan army surged like a tide and slapped the city wall fiercely.
Arrows rained down, and wails and screams were endless.
The sun was setting from east to west, and before I knew it, another day had passed, and Yijing City was still standing, and the corpses of soldiers on both sides were sunk nearby, leaving thousands of corpses behind.
Seeing that night was approaching, the general of the Yuan army shouted, "I'll wait and go to camp and set up a camp, and attack the city tomorrow!" The voice was loud and resounding through the three armies.
"Drink!" Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Yuan army shouted loudly, responding to his words, from beginning to end, the military posture in this army was solemn, without a sound, until this moment, a shout was like thunder in the sky, startling the faces of the soldiers in Yi Jingcheng's face changed slightly.
Tian Yu smiled bitterly at Gao Zhi and stepped forward to boost morale.
There is no way, compared to Yuan Shao's swaying from time to time, their father-in-law Sun Zan can be said to be the shopkeeper.
I don't know if it's due to the collapse of the ideal in my heart, Gongsun Chan at this time seems to have completely changed a person, and the previous courage is gone. The timid and scared look is pitiful to think about.
No matter how fierce a person is on the outside, if he can't overcome his inner fear, he will eventually become a coward.
is like Gongsun Zhan, who is timid and cares for his life, which makes people laugh and feel sad when he thinks about it.
Gongsun Chan hid in the Yi City that he built for himself.
What will those subordinates and generals who have worked hard all the way with Gongsun Chan think? Day by day, he couldn't even see his boss, let alone be trusted, so they all left Gongsun Chan one after another.
Some people were still unwilling and ran to ask Gongsun Chan why he was like this.
Gongsun Chan explained it this way: "I used to expel the rebellious Hu people outside the Saiwai and sweep the yellow turbans in Mengjin; At that time, I felt that as long as I worked a little harder, the world would be calm.
But now, there are more and more military disasters and disasters, and I realize that this is not something I can solve, it is better to stop the army to repair the fields and save the famine year.
In the art of war, it is said that a hundred floors will not be attacked, and I am now 'a thousand miles of barracks, three million grains, and this is enough to wait for the changes in the world'. ”
Listening to Gongsun Zhan's words, did you find that it was unusually consistent with what a certain prince had said before?
That person is Dong Zhuo.
In the minds of the two of them, there is such a simple idea, that is, taking advantage of the troubled times, I will get a good hand, and it is naturally good to get it.
If it doesn't work, I'll go back, make a safe and stable nest, gather enough food, and live my little life with nourishment.
However, Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu before he could wait for the day he retreated to the dock.
At this time, isn't Gongsun Chan exactly Dong Zhuo who retreated to the dock? But do you Gongsun Chan really think that you can keep your own little world?
"Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a corner", such a simple truth, Gongsun Chan actually doesn't understand?
Will Yuan Shao tolerate it on his own territory, and let the previous master build a city and live a nourishing life?
It's true that your grandson Chan can stay for a year or two years, but can he stay longer?
Gongsun Zhan's small-scale peasant consciousness and such an unstructured approach doomed him to a tragic end later.
