Chapter 114 Gongsun wants to come out!
The iron shield can smash people and defend against arrows, it is really an offensive and defensive equipment!
But is the iron shield really useful for a boulder as powerful as a thunderbolt?
You can just pull a Gongsun Zhan soldier and ask, and he will tell you clearly: It's useless, it's useless!
When a stone bullet flies in front of your eyes at a breakneck speed, you'd better take advantage of those last few tenths of a second to think about your loved ones, and as for the last words, you don't have to, because there is no such time!
If you are hit in the head by a stone bullet, then needless to say, your own Tongze sighed and carried you to be buried, and don't hope that your relatives will recognize you...... If you are hit in the body, it will be as painful as a waist cut or a car splitting...... I advise you to leave some last words for yourself...... Other minor injuries such as those that have been bruised, as long as the injured part is not very serious, then you can still get up and continue to fight after more than ten days of rest, the only sad thing is that you will still face this terrible weapon after all.
As the saying goes, happiness is mostly built on the pain of others, and the same is true at this moment.
When the soldiers under Cao Ying's command grinned and carried the stone bullets that were as huge as grinding plates, how could they understand the fear in the hearts of Gongsun Zhan's soldiers for these stone bullets?
When you were talking to a Tongze about the future, suddenly a vicious wind blew, and you suddenly saw that the Tongze in front of you was missing half of his body, and he slowly fell down with blood...... For example, when you and a few Tongze patrol camps suddenly screamed behind you, you looked back, but you were shocked to see your hands and feet still trembling under the boulder...... On the other side, the corporal under the command of Gongsun Chan can say 'I'm not afraid', but on the other side of this kind of unguarded stone bullet, how can the three words 'I'm not afraid' be spoken?
Moreover, these stone bullets were smashed to death and bruised, without exception, and those soldiers who were bruised by the stone bullets were all cut down by Gongsun Zhan's team...... Why? It's all because they're deserters!
"Lord!" Gongsun Zhan's camp, Tian Kai frowned and said anxiously, "The soldiers are really about to be unable to support it!" The bottom of morale is unprecedented! Lord, if there is no more way......"
"Enough!" Gongsun Chan angrily shouted Tian Kai's words, paced back and forth in the big tent for a few steps, and said angrily, "It's just that more than 200 people died, so you are scared like this?" ”
"Definitely!" Tian Kai hesitated and stepped forward and said, "The lord has never seen such a tragedy, he was hit by the stone bullet, don't say that the body is incomplete, I am afraid that it is also a luxury to save a complete corpse, the lord is afraid that he did not see the soldier in the morning, and he was smashed into a ball of minced meat......
"Shut up!" Gongsun Chan only felt a malicious surge in his abdomen, after so many years of guarding Youzhou, he was afraid that he couldn't count the number of people he killed, but now what Tian Kai said made Gongsun Chan's abdomen churn.
"Didn't I know that Cao Mengde's move was bad for the morale of our army?"
Tian Kai was slightly stunned, and said in astonishment, "The lord knows? What should the lord do with it? ”
"Retreat...... No refund! With a sigh, Gongsun Zhan said wistfully, "Now that Cao Mengde has this sharp weapon, it is useless for us to stick to it, and the procrastination strategy is ineffective, I don't know how to deal with it, why don't you let him come and take my head!" ”
"Lord!" Tian Kai said with a straight face, "Why does the lord despise himself so much? How rampant are Karasuma and Xianbei? Seeing the banner of the lord and being frightened, he took the road and escaped, where was the spirit of the lord who was a warrior with a blade Karasuma back then? ”
Gongsun Zhan listened, his face faintly showed a little smile, but when he thought of the current situation, his face immediately sank again, and he said sadly, "I regret that I shouldn't have listened to your kind words, I was robbed of the opportunity by that Jiang Zhe, and now I am subject to Cao Mengde step by step, I really hate it!" ”
"My lord?" Tian Kai looked at Gongsun Zhan's remorseful expression, hesitated and said, "If the lord has this heart, I say, it's not too late now!" ”
"Oh?" Gongsun Chan was surprised and delighted, and said with a smile, "What do you have a plan, tell me quickly!" ”
Tian Kai shook his head and said, "Although there is no magic strategy now, there is a good strategy!" Please reuse Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong! ”
"Zhao Zilong?" Gongsun Zhan looked suspicious, looked at Tian Kai suspiciously, and said, "You mentioned this person to me several times, why?" ”
"It's not for anything else, it's because General Zhao is a rare general in a hundred years, and it's a pity that the lord doesn't use it!"
Gongsun Zhan glanced at Tian Kai and said in a deep voice, "However, he previously folded me with three thousand white horses and five thousand elite cavalry, and then had an ambiguous relationship with Cao Ying, so how can I trust this person?" ”
"Why did the lord treat General Zhao like this?" Tian Kai's face was upright, not afraid of the little anger in Gongsun Zhan's eyes, and said slowly, "There are no outsiders here, I am telling the truth, the previous time our army was all broken, all because Jiang Zhe was one step higher than the lord of chess!" ”
"Waste...... Absurd! Gongsun Chan scolded angrily with his neck.
"Lord!" Unexpectedly, Tian Kai's voice was louder than Gongsun Zhan, and he said slightly angrily, "Then the lord said that someone reported that General Zhao was sent out safely by the soldiers of Cao Ying, how could the lord not see the truth in it?" Since the people in Cao Ying's camp saw General Zhao's talent, they couldn't bear to harm him, so they let us see it, this is a 'between'! Those who use this plan, in my opinion, are either Jiang Shouyi, Guo Fengxiao and Xi Zhicai, my vulgar people can still see clearly, why can't the lord see clearly? I dare to assert that the lord has a preconceived opinion of General Zhao, so he is treated poorly and not treated! ”
"You...... You ......" Gongsun Chan was speechless by Tian Kai's rebuttal.
There was silence in the tent for a long time before a sigh, Gongsun Zhan's sigh.
"You're right!" Gongsun Zhan sat down gloomily, and Qi Qiran said, "Zhao Zilong is indeed extraordinary, and he has the style of a general, which is indeed rare, but the three thousand white horses were destroyed in one fell swoop, leaving him alone, as soon as I saw him, it was like seeing those soldiers who died unjustly, and came to ask for my life......"
"Lord ......"
"Ten years...... It has been ten years since my grandson Boqi established this army! During the period, there were countless battles of all sizes, and there had never been such a big defeat against Karasuma and Xianbei, you are right, I underestimated the heroes of the world, and I underestimated Jiang Zhe who planned it, and I also regretted it in my heart...... It was I who let those soldiers be reduced to zero, which gave Jiang Zheke a chance to take advantage of, and the fault was me! Now that he is the only one left among the three thousand white horse guards, how do you tell me to face him? ”
"Lord ......" Tian Kai's face was stunned and surprised, he never expected that Gongsun Zhan would think like this in his heart so that he would not reuse Zhao Yun.
Glancing at Tian Kai, Gongsun Zhan laughed at himself and said, "If it weren't for that, I would have to report that Zhao Zilong had an ambiguous relationship with Cao Yingzhong, and I ordered him to be killed early, so how could I keep him until now?" But what puzzles me is, why do you keep mentioning it in front of me? Zhao Zilong is just a chief......"
"The lord doesn't know!" Tian Kai now understands the contradiction in Gongsun Zhan's heart, and he no longer hides it from Gongsun Zhan in his heart, and said frankly, "I have met General Zilong several times in secret, and the most recent one was ......after the lord ordered him to be imprisoned."
Glancing at Gongsun Zhan's indifferent eyes, Tian Kai relieved his mind and said slowly, "I Guan Zilong, General Zilong, is really a hero in the north, and I also told him all about the current situation, and he also said, 'There is no retreat, there is only one battle. 'It's much the same as what the lord said......
"Humph!" Gongsun Chan snorted lightly and said with a smile, "Say it lightly, fight? How to fight? Cao Mengde has Jiang Zhe, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai as think tanks, Jiang Zhe is good at strategy, Guo Jia is good at battle formations, Xi Zhicai has insight into plots, and there are many brave generals under his command, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, ......"
"Why does the lord increase the popularity of others and destroy his own prestige?" Tian Kai smiled and said, "The lord knows that when Zilong is the enemy of the four generals, he shocked Cao Bing with his bravery......
Gongsun Zhan's eyes froze, and he said in a trembling voice, "Really? ”
"Seriously!"
Taking a deep breath, Gongsun Chan said in a deep voice, "Gather the generals in the camp and discuss the plan to break Cao...... You...... Go and call Zhao Zilong too! ”
"No!" Tian Kai said with a happy face.
"Go ahead!" Gongsun Zhan stared intently at the outside of the tent and muttered, "This is our last battle, if we win, our army's morale will be greatly boosted, and Cao Ying will run out of food and escape; If not...... We've all turned to ashes! ”
Listening to Gongsun Zhan's bleak words, Tian Kai wanted to speak and stopped, and bowed out.
An hour later, Gongsun Chan met with the generals under his command in the big tent in the camp, among which Tian Kai also led Zhao Yun forward.
Looking at Zhao Yun who saluted him, Gongsun Chan glanced at him with complicated eyes, nodded and let Zhao Yun sit down, but Gongsun Chan's general Chen Huan looked at him with interest, and other people like Yan Gang all glanced at Zhao Yun lightly.
"Gentlemen!" Gongsun Zhan sat on the main seat and said slowly, "I am thinking of a stubborn plan, and I want to let that Cao Ying retreat after running out of food, so I set up a lot of defenses outside the camp...... Now that Cao Ying has been plotted by Jiang Zhe, he has created a siege weapon, called the 'Thunderbolt Car', and I think you must have known about it......"
"I'll find out!"
Nodding, Gongsun Zhan looked around at the generals and said slowly, "Now the soldiers have grievances in their hearts, if it is a long time, I am afraid that something will happen, according to your opinion, how should we unravel this siege?" ”
Youzhou Don't drive Tian Kai to be the first to bow his hand and say, "Jiang Zhe's plan, but what he wants is not to kill the enemy, but to destroy the morale of the lieutenant generals of our army. In my opinion, it must destroy those thunderbolts......"
"Lord Tian said it very lightly!" Gongsun Zhan's general Yan Gang said with a smile, "Master Tian, do you know how many Cao soldiers are guarding that high place?" I'll tell you, ten thousand! And it was Cao Ren, the best defensive general under Cao Mengde, who guarded here! In addition, there are Cao Chun's 5,000 soldiers patrolling beside him, how can we get close? If the elite white horse in our army is safe, it can still be calculated......"
"Enough!" Gongsun Zhan said slightly angrily, "I asked you to wait here to discuss a plan to break Cao, not to let you fight with each other!" ”
Yan Gang and Tian Kai glanced at each other and said respectfully, "Please forgive the lord!" ”
Gongsun Zhan exhaled heavily, his eyes couldn't help but look at Zhao Yun, hesitated, and said lightly, "Zilong, do you have anything to say?" ”
"Huh?" Zhao Yunleng paused, looked at Gongsun Zan in astonishment, and said with his fists clenched, "The meaning of the last general is similar to that of Lord Tian, if you let those thunderbolts continue to damage the morale of our army, you will ...... There is no way to fight! ”
"Ridiculous!" Yan Gang sneered.
"The general is right!" Chen Huan slowly stood up in Yan Gang's suspicious eyes, and said to Gongsun Zhan, "According to the opinion of the last general, rather than die in humiliation under the stone, I want to come to the army and the soldiers would rather die in the white blade!" Please be enlightened! ”
"Battle?" Gongsun Chan looked at the generals.
Listening to Chen Huan's words, Yan Gang was also quite moved, although he was at odds with Tian Kai, he would not abolish the public for personal reasons, and the ultimate reason for his rejection of Tian Kai and Zhao Yun's proposal was that the casualties were too great!
Compared with the fact that dozens of soldiers died every day, Yan Gang preferred to defend until Cao Ying's food was exhausted and the troops retreated, but after listening to Chen Huan's words at this moment, he changed his mind.
Yes, instead of dying in humiliation, it is better to die with a bang!
Yan Gang's eyes changed, he got up suddenly, glanced at Chen Huan, and shouted in unison with his fists, "Lord!" Please give the order to fight Cao Jun! ”
Zhao Yun also came out and knocked on one knee and said, "Yun is willing to follow the generals, please ask the lord for permission!" ”
Gongsun Chan looked at the generals in the tent with satisfaction, got up and shouted heavily, "Okay! I'll go out of the camp and fight Cao Mengde to the death! ”
Gongsun Chan at this moment is the white horse general in Tian Kai's memory! The white horse general who made countless foreigners fearful!
"Wait!" Tian Kai smiled and walked out in the puzzled eyes of the generals, and said to Gongsun Zhan, "If the lord wants to fight to the death with Cao Mengde, then I have a plan to present to the lord, and this plan will be nine deaths and a lifetime!" If it succeeds, Cao Ying will be defeated and retreat, and if it fails, all the soldiers sent will die! ”
"......" Gongsun Zhan's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he glanced at the generals in the tent, and the tent was silent.
