Chapter 34: The Great War (13)

On the tower of the gate of Xingcheng, Gongsun continued to smile, and he told Zhao Yun and Gongsun a few people some small jokes, which caused some laughter from time to time.

Gongsun Xu's small jokes are all classic jokes from later generations, and he told them in some languages of the Three Kingdoms period, so that Zhao Yun and Gongsun felt classic and strange.

Where can the people of this era be as knowledgeable as the people of later generations, and that kind of novelty and accident make them feel that it is difficult not to laugh.

They were under a lot of pressure at this time, but the laughter could not be suppressed, and even some of Gongsun Xu's personal guards were so laughing that they covered their stomachs and squatted down.

Gongsun Xu and Zhao Yun and Gongsun were talking and laughing, which made the soldiers below who felt the pressure feel relaxed as well.

Above the city tower were lightly wounded soldiers and a small number of surrendered soldiers, and the soldiers below the city gate were half surrendered soldiers and half Han infantry, and they looked at Gongsun Xu, who was still joking.

They couldn't understand why Commander Gongsun Xu didn't show any nervousness at all, and he would be so relaxed.

They faced more than 2,000 Wuhuan cavalry, not 2,000 Yellow Turban thieves.

What made them even more incomprehensible was that their commander had set up a formation that they had never seen before, and it was unknown whether this formation would work.

If Xingcheng is full of elite soldiers of the Han army, if the military strength is equal to the enemy's military strength, then there is still the strength of a battle, but in terms of number and quality, they cannot be compared with those Wuhuan cavalry at all.

Most of them didn't think that this battle could be won, not to mention that Gongsun Xu had come up with a policy of dividing troops.

At this time, outside the city gate, dozens of soldiers of the Han army pretending to patrol out of the city, after they saw the Wuhuan cavalry appear, they began to flee towards the city gate in a disorderly manner.

They fled for their lives without abandoning their armor, shouting loudly not to close the gates, and even cutting down the not-so-high drawbridge over the city in the struggle.

The soldiers in the back fought for the road, and people were constantly being squeezed from the drawbridge into the moat.

In the distance, he lifted the reins in his hand, slowing down the war horse.

No matter what he thinks of the Han army outside Xingcheng, he feels that those people seem to be acting, and it should be the Han army's plan to lure the enemy.

If those Han soldiers were not acting, then there were absolutely no troops in this Xingcheng who could resist him, and those Han soldiers would not be enough to stuff his subordinates.

When he marched into Xingcheng, he also arrested some people around Xingcheng, and he learned from these people that Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun had caused enough harm to Xingcheng, and Gongsun Zhan's large army had already pursued Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun's men and horses, and only a small number of Han troops and some soldiers were left in Xingcheng.

And these Han troops and soldiers were led by Gongsun Zhan's teenage son, and they were not arranged outside Xingcheng at all.

For this information, he was convinced, after all, his detective horse had also found out about this situation in the process of probing before.

It's just that he couldn't figure out whether those Han soldiers saw them come here and escaped from the other gates of Xingcheng, or if they were a ploy set up for them.

Promotion has an inexplicable fear of the Han people, because the Han people have good brains and often make some conspiracies to trick the people.

He looked at the city gate with eagle-like eyes, and there was always a faint uneasiness in his heart, but he saw the sparse soldiers on the city wall, and saw those Han soldiers even killing their colleagues off the drawbridge in order to flee for their lives.

He felt that his uneasy feeling was too ethereal, and there was nothing in Naxingcheng that could threaten him.

Even if there is a strategy, it is a small skill of carving insects, no matter what kind of conspiracy and trickery, it cannot resist the superiority of his cavalry.

Thinking that Xingcheng was Gongsun Zhan's teenage son, who had no experience in leading soldiers at all, and it was normal for soldiers to riot, his nervous heart gradually eased.

Looking at the soldiers who were eager to try left and right, and saw more than 100 Han soldiers coming out of the city gate to repair the drawbridge, he raised the spear held by his big hand and waved it heavily, and shouted loudly in his mouth: "Wuhuan athletes, the time has come for you to make meritorious contributions, Wuming Striker, you lead the forward team to open the way, kill me into Xingcheng, rush in and kill Han dogs!" ”

He wanted to lead the army to rush directly into Xingcheng, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to let the Wuming vanguard enter Xingcheng first to explore the way, if there was a situation in the vanguard, he would be able to rescue Wuming from Xingcheng with these cavalry under his command.

The Wu Huan Elite Cavalry Forward, who had been waiting impatiently, rushed towards the suspension bridge that was about to close like an arrow from the string after the forward officer Wu Ming raised his spear and rushed out first.

At this time, they are fighting for the time difference, if the suspension bridge of Xingcheng is repaired and pulled up, then they will pay a greater price for attacking Xingcheng, and they must now rush into Xingcheng as quickly as possible.

The Wuhuan cavalry rushed under the gate of Xingcheng, and they saw that there were sparse feathered arrows on the city wall and began to shoot at them, but at such a time, these feathered arrows could not pose any threat to them.

They raised their long weapons in their hands and quickly rushed into the gate, which had not yet been closed.

Seeing that the heroic Wu Ming led the vanguard into Xingcheng, the total number of casualties was less than 100, and the number of soldiers at the head of the city was gradually decreasing, and the worry in his heart finally dissipated.

He looked at Xingcheng and shouted excitedly: "The whole army is attacking, not a single Han soldier is left, we will cut off Gongsun Zhan's back road and leave all those damn Han dogs behind." ”

After the promotion of Wuming's charge, there were still some small worries in his heart, and the Chinese army had not been dispatched, but Wuming rushed in with the striker, and the sound of shouting and killing in the city shook the sky, and even billowing black smoke rose up, that is to say, Wuming's striker had already killed.

Wu Ming should not have encountered much resistance after entering the city, otherwise this would never have happened, and it should have given him a dangerous signal.

On the city wall, the wounded soldiers and some soldiers looked at the large group of fierce black warriors, and their hearts began to be worried, and an invincible thought rose in their hearts.

These wounded soldiers have seen the power of the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry, and most of those soldiers are Wuhuan people, so they naturally know that the elite cavalry of Lord Nanlou is not something that they can resist if they are not able to ride a horse.

However, when they saw that Gongsun Xu and Zhao Yun were talking and laughing, they didn't look worried at all, and everything was going according to what Gongsun Xu said, and their worries were slightly relieved.

According to Gongsun Xu's arrangement, the archery they shot at the head of the city, they should do other things and do other things, but what! If you can't win, the idea of slipping away immediately is much smaller.

Zhao Yun looked at Gongsun Xu, who was talking eloquently, his confidence in Gongsun Xu was difficult to understand, Zhao Yun was very hesitant in his heart, could those wooden stakes make the Wuhuan Jingqi lose its combat effectiveness?!!!!

Zhao Yun felt very confused about Gongsun Xu's wooden stake tactics, and he didn't understand that just such some arrangements could block Wuhuan Jingqi?
