Chapter 705: Iron Hoof Coerces Step by Step
Standing under the scorching sun in the imperial city of Xudu, the sweaty soldiers exposed their necks to let the occasional wind get in, closed their eyes comfortably, and then felt something, opened their eyes, and saw a fast horse rushing from the market in the distance, with the flag behind the fast horse to mark that this is an important message of a hundred miles of urgency, and the extremely fast reaction made the people below open the city gate, and the speed of the fast horse did not decrease, and rushed into the palace gate.
The Central Plains in July is the hottest time, the cicadas continue to sing in the palace one after another, the sunlight passes through the gaps between the branches, mottled with the wind on the ground swaying slightly, the eunuchs and guards standing outside the Chengguang Hall bow their heads, listen to the noisy voices in the hall, such a scene has often happened, after a while, the sound of the horse's hooves rushed towards this side, there were guards and eunuchs passing at the same time, it was a military scout.
"Hurry up..... bring it in..... report to the Prime Minister and His Majesty....."
The eunuch who received the information did not dare to hesitate, held it in both hands, and rushed into the main hall quickly. At this time, there was a quarrel over Jingzhou and Jiangdong in the south, Liu Bei and Sun Quan were already on the side, and the wolf king was newly returned, but he also sent the spoils of war to the Son of Heaven in accordance with the etiquette system, and at the same time returned all the soldiers and horses conscripted in various states.
Most of the caravans in the Western Expedition came from the families behind these courtiers, and even Cao Hong of the Cao family also sent caravans to follow, but they would not be so public, in the case of profit, the reason for taking people short and eating people was the shortest, and I also understood it in my heart, so for several months, most of the spearheads were aimed at Jingzhou in the south.
However, Cao Cao, who has the best relationship between the DPRK and the north, has always been worried about the movement in the north, after all, the 170,000 .....army should be 180,000 now, and he already knows that Sun Ce is true or false, although he also covets this team, but he does not dare to detain it easily, and the matter will spread sooner or later.
Once the troops are facing down, the first to bear the brunt is Jizhou and the Central Plains, Xiliang Ma Teng is also friendly with the other party, if the army is sent from the west to attack Chang'an, it is really not a loss to steal chickens and rice. What's more, the time for the northland to review the army has long passed, and the news has not yet returned, which makes him feel a little uneasy.
After a while, a eunuch came in outside, Cao Cao stood in the middle of the aisle, his waist tied to the sky, just stretched out his hand, and the other party bowed down and presented the plain silk.
"Finally I got started.....
With just one glance, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed - Gongsun stopped sending troops to Liaodong.
…….
Liaodong, Xiangping.
Huge stones with dense arrows, crossbows across the sky, across the galloping horses below, running soldiers above the head, the front of the same arrows thrown over, sharp arrows ping pong nailed to the hard surface, or collided with the rain of arrows flying outside the city, and fell weakly, flying over a distance, a certain section of the city wall gradually enlarged, and then smashed on the towering city wall.
Boom –
The rocks cracked, and the fragmented stone chips splashed everywhere, hitting the faces of nearby people, scraping out long bloody holes, or directly denting the iron helmets, killing the people who were still running. More stones fell from the sky like an apocalyptic scene, some accurately smashed on the wall section, Gongsun Gong, who was shouting for defense with a knife, saw with his own eyes that there were more than a dozen soldiers still running in reinforcements, and the person who was smashed by a boulder turned over on his back, and the person in the middle only left a pool of stump blood, and there was no place to hide.
"Shoot back, tell the cavalry below, destroy the other party's catapult—" His shout was followed by a loud bang, and a roaring boulder smashed down a wall, rolling and crushing the archers behind the battlements, only his head was still vomiting blood and convulsing.
Such a scene, although the soldiers who have lived in Liaodong for a long time have also fought a few battles, but from such a fierce and cruel siege battle, the fragmented corpses smashed by the boulders made them feel frightened to a large extent, when someone wanted to retreat, a blade in the back chopped him to death, Gongsun Gong's face was covered with blood, and he shouted hideously: "My Liaodong Gongsun family can treat you badly?" At this moment, when the city is stubbornly defended—"
Hundreds of zhang away from Xiangping City, as the chief general of the Chinese army, Pan Feng, the Marquis of Pingchang, was sitting on horseback, pursed his lips, and looked at the almost shaking city wall that was smashed by stones with a majestic face, he didn't believe that this city could be stronger than Constantine, and if he went back in the last four years, the Great Qin Emperor would also die in his hands.
"I'll just sit here and watch you surrender—" he said righteously, stroking his horned helmet.
Over the years, the Fengxiang army under his command slowly changed to the direction of bows and catapults, except for the necessary infantry front, almost all of them were archers, crossbowmen, and Roman auxiliaries composed of artillery formations, among which the Roman scorpion artillery was improved, equipped with four wheels, which could be dragged away by a horse-drawn cart, and could be placed away at any time even if it was suddenly attacked, using spare stone bullets, or chain ballistas.
Pan Feng looked ahead, the rushing and shouting people, densely climbed towards the city wall, the amazing fight has been quiet for several years on the general spread around, followed him to rush to the head of the city when the soldiers formed a shield array, the overlapping knife light from the opposite side slashed down, hit the shield, Zhang He lifted the front of the soldier who raised the shield is kicked out, the shouting and fighting Liaodong soldiers flew out directly upside down like a cannonball, smashed on the pile of people rushing behind, and suddenly a group of people turned on their backs.
At this time, the stone-throwing had stopped, and the entire city wall entered a fierce hand-to-hand fight, and on the three sections of the wall divided by A, B and C, 30,000 soldiers from the north took turns to launch several attacks, which lasted from morning to dusk. Gongsun Gong, who was trapped in the city wall, was then brought to the aid by his brother to repel the attack of the north.
When night fell, the two brothers lit a bonfire under the city wall to rest, and if the enemy attacked at night, they could also reinforce the city wall. The sky was full of stars, the bonfire was burning, Gongsun Gong threw a dry firewood into the fire, looked at the brother who was holding a knife and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and couldn't help but speak: "Brother, Gongsun Zhi's soldiers and horses are not the barbarians of Goguryeo...... Wake up. ”
"How is it different, they are all people with one head..... didn't they guard it today? What's more, it's not the elite who comes, what are you afraid of! ”
"Just because he is not an elite, he can fight with us in such a situation, if he comes over, brother..... can we still fight?" Gongsun Gong clenched his hands into fists, lowered his voice and almost roared out: "Gongsun Zhi scattered us assassinated first, it is already obvious, he just wants to take Liaodong, he killed all the western countries, we are in Liaodong, can we stop it?!" ”
Phew-
Gongsun Kang slashed his knife on the ground and flew a stone, "Surrender? He made a fuss about the assassins, he wouldn't let us go, he said that Liaodong and Youbeiping should be one family, that's a lie, now that he is strong and strong, there can only be one of the two grandsons. ”
There were soldiers looking around.
The two of them were silent with red necks one after another, until the sky was overcast and bright, and the sound of the horn outside the city sounded again to alarm them, and they ran up the city wall to look out, and the army that besieged the city yesterday came out of the barracks again, lined up left and right on the field, and countless flags were waved in the color of the blue and dark.
The siege continued the next day, but more cannons and arrows rained down, and this time the besieging army stopped attacking and used ballistas and catapults to smash the walls. On the third day, a huge crack appeared in the wall of the middle section B, and the unstable feeling could be clearly felt under the soldier's feet on the wall section where he was located.
At noon, Gongsun Gong led the cavalry to rush out of the city to destroy the opposite catapult in one fell swoop, but Wen Chou cut off the team from the flank, and the general Gongsun Mo was stabbed in the head by the opponent's turtle camel spear, Gongsun Gong almost died under the opponent's gun, and returned to the city with less than 300 horsemen.
After being bandaged on the thigh by the soldiers, he limped up to the city wall, looking at his brother who was constantly running on the city wall and giving orders, and the tragic battlefield that climbed and killed, his blood-stained face actually smiled, and slowly walked towards the brother who gave orders over there.
That's it..... he sighed in his heart.
Liaodong Gongsun can't exterminate the clan..... the two nephews are still young, and there are thousands of clansmen of all sizes, they always have to live....... Gongsun Gong limped around, his thumb pushed away the handle of the knife, and the cold light of Senhan was revealed from it little by little, and the herald was sent away, Gongsun Kang turned his head and saw that his brother was injured, and hurriedly walked over: "Brother is worried about you, if the injury is serious, you go back to the house first......"
A gust of wind blew black smoke over, and on the potholed city wall, the lame figure suddenly laughed and waved his arms violently-
Gongsun Kang, who was still talking, was stunned for a moment, his eyes saw the blade enlarged, and his vision then flipped up, and saw his brother Gongsun Gong standing there with a knife and smiling like a madman, with tears in his eyes, his gaze flipped again, getting higher and higher, and looked out of the city, it was a surging crowd....... and the last consciousness was then broken.
On July 25, Gongsun Kang of Liaodong died, and his younger brother Gongsun Gongju surrendered.
It was August when the news came to Shanggu County, Gongsun Zhi sat on a big chair and listened to the news with his eyes closed, dragged his cloak and stood up, walked behind the wall battlement and looked south, and summoned Li Ke: "Send a letter to all the princes, just write a few words: Iron Hoof is about to go south...... Well, just scare them. ”
At this time, the forces of Liaodong still have resistance, and it will take a while to clear them, but a large amount of grain and Gongsun Kang's family have begun to be transported to Youzhou one after another, and attacking Liaodong is just a clear signal of Gongsun Zhi.
The news of the fall of Gongsun Kang of Liaodong arrived in Xuchang in late August, and another piece of information followed. At the beginning of September, the cannibalistic army of 170,000 crossed the Yanmen Pass and Juyong Pass in two ways, with the intention of waving the army south.
Countless people felt that the knife on their heads was finally going to be cut off.
