Chapter 538: Intimidation
"Has the lord already taken the wolf ride to Ruyin?" Gao Shun looked at the map in his hand and asked Gao Shun on the side.
"Yes!" Gao Shun nodded yes.
"The lord wants to take down Ruyin in a long-distance raid?"
"Yes!"
"You were too slow to trap the camp, so the lord asked you to stay and wait for the large army in the rear?"
"Yes"
"Have you investigated this Yingshang City, how many soldiers and horses are there?" Gao Shun asked again.
"Look!" Gao Shun took out a piece of paper, which was a note made by Gao Shun, writing some details on the Ying, among which the height of the city and the width of the moat have been counted.
"If you talk too much, you'll die!" Zhang Hu couldn't stand it anymore, he hugged Zhang Liao and said that he was uncomfortable and retired first.
"Lao Gao, Lao Gao?" Zhang Liao shook his head with a wry smile, fortunately, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun have been on business for so many years, and they can still adapt.
"Yingshang City is taken, and a large army is stationed!" Gao Shun finally said more than two words.
Take Yingshang, Zhang Liao also has this idea, but what he needs is how to fight, he has most of the heavy armored cavalry in his hands It is not good to attack the city directly, and the camp is also a heavy armored foot battle, and the siege battle is also insufficient.
"Take down the Yingshang Attack Heart!" Gao Shun said to Zhang Liao.
"Heart-attacking?" Zhang Liao could hear Gao Shun's words, and his heart moved: "How can I attack my heart?" ”
"Think for yourself!"
"Poof!" Ge Jun couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Zhang Liao that he was uncomfortable and retreated.
Gao Shun is indeed not suitable for commanding an army, he is only suitable for being a general. Training, you just need to tell Gao Shun how to fight, other schemes and so on. Let's do it yourself.
"Report! Report to the deputy marshal, there is a general outside the battalion who asks to see him! ”
……
Early the next morning, the army of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun left the camp and headed towards Yingshang.
Yingshang is full of banners, and the current Yingshang City is not as good as before, because Yingshang City has long been ravaged by Liu Mang's army, and the original defender general was Mi Fang, Mi Fang, who would rather die than surrender. Liu Mang relied on a strong attack to take the Yingshang, and at that station, the ballista almost blew the Yingshang.
"Old Gao. Look at this Ying, it's really a strong city! Zhang Liao looked at Yingshang City, Yingshang Land relied on Yingshui, and Yuzhou was also a wealthy place in the past. Even with people like Liu Pi, they can mix well in Yuzhou, and they can rely on the heritage of Yuzhou. If it was placed before, seeing a city like Yingshang, Zhang Liao didn't even think about it, just wait for the big army to come and fight again, anyway, he had to fill the moat first, and then use human heads to pile it up.
But now Yingchuan has fallen.
"Lao Gao, do you want to use the trap camp to go up and take a look?!" Zhang Liao wanted to tease Gao Shun.
Look at the city wall on this Ying, which is towering and has a moat. At the beginning, Liu Mang attacked the city with ballistas, and the moat was not completely filled. If this rushes over, the casualties will inevitably be small.
Gao Shun didn't even want to think about it, just two words: "Don't do it!" ”
"Old Gao, do you want to disobey?" Zhang Liao looked at Gao Shun with a smile, yesterday Gao Shun left him, the deputy marshal, outside the camp to rest by himself, even if he knew that he was coming, he ignored it at all, Zhang Liao naturally wanted to retaliate.
I wanted to play Gao Shun for a while, but how did I know that Gao Shun raised his head and looked at Zhang Liao blankly, "You are stupid, attacking the city?" I'm not stupid! Don't go! ”
Zhang Liao's smile that played with Gao Shun suddenly stiffened, it is true that forcibly attacking the city is almost like a fool, but you can't be so straightforward, he Zhang Liao just wants to make a joke with Gao Shun, and wants to make Gao Shun bow his head, but Gao Shun doesn't care about Zhang Liao at all, it's just that you are stupid!
It's really a cold man. Zhang Liao could only smile awkwardly, saying that this was a joke with you, so he passed first.
"Zhang Hu, come forward and shout!" Yingshang City can only attack the heart, not forcefully attack.
"Yes!" Zhang Hu nodded and ran to the city of Yingshang, he was suffocated to death by Gao Shun in the camp in the past few days, and now he can finally let go of his voice and shout.
"Listen to the rabbits and cubs in the city, your grandfather Zhang Hu is here, and those who know each other will open the city gate immediately, otherwise you will not be left with chickens and dogs when the city is broken!" Zhang Hu's voice was loud enough, and this voice went down, making the city wall incessantly commotion.
"This Yangzhou army is coming, what to do, what to do!" There is a constant commotion on the city wall, and there are not many defenders on this Ying, and there are only more than 5,000 people in the full fight, but Yingshang City is so big, and the current Yingshang Taishou is still a nameless person, but he can read a little bit and was picked by Liu Bei's dwarf to be the Taishou.
"Hugh to panic, Hugh to panic! We have the Yingshang city wall to protect and the moat, and this city will not be broken for a while and a half! The defending general on the chin opened his mouth to stabilize the morale of the army.
The general's words made the tense atmosphere in the scene even heavier, what is the meaning that it will not be broken for a while and a half, and this will have to be broken sooner or later.
"Hold on, stay for help! Uncle Liu Huang will definitely come back to save us! "Yingshang Taishou cheered, if he was not Liu Bei, he would be at most a teacher material, being a Taishou is simply a dream from an idiot, but because of Liu Bei, he is sitting in the position of this Taishou, so he is still very grateful to Liu Bei, the Yingshang Taishou, if the Yingshang City is broken, where will he go to be the Taishou!
How can there be reinforcements, these people's hearts are still clear, their lords have been defeated again and again, and now they are difficult to protect, but they still want to deceive themselves, after all, as long as the city is still there, they still have a chance to live, if the city is lost, then it will be slaughtered, although they are now only 5,000 defenders, but there are tens of thousands of people in the city, and they can still encourage the people to come and defend the city.
"That's it, you can't surrender, don't you see An Fengjin's appearance!" There was a loud shout from the Taishou guard.
An Fengjin? An Fengjin is not far from this Yingshang, An Fengjin is on fire, and you can even see it on Yingshang, and there are deserters among An Fengjin who have fled to Yingshang. These people told the defenders on the wing about An Fengjin's tragedy with a handful of snot and tears.
When it comes to Anfengjin, the defenders on the city wall have been identified, they are all the people of this city. What if the city is broken and Yingshang becomes An Fengjin?
"The defenders in the city listen, give you a stick of incense time, the time of a stick of incense will not come down, don't blame you Grandpa Zhang for sending troops to attack for so long." Zhang Hu shouted loudly on the side.
"Ge Jun, you go too!" Zhang Liao looked at the faces of the defenders on the city wall, and knew that these people wanted to defend to the death, which was not in line with his Zhang Liao's thoughts. said to Ge Jun on the side, Ge Jun nodded, and stepped forward.
"General Zhang, General Zhang. Don't persuade to surrender, don't persuade to surrender! Ge Jun stepped forward and shouted at Zhang Hu.
"Ge Jun, why are you here?" Zhang Hu looked at Ge Jun and wondered.
"I'm here to persuade the general not to surrender." Ge Jun said to Zhang Hu.
"Don't dissuade you?" Zhang Hu was stunned for a moment. It was Zhang Liao who sent him out to persuade him to surrender, why has it changed now, but seeing Ge Jun's eyes, Zhang Hu still understood.
"yes. Can't be persuaded to surrender! If this is persuasion. What a treasure to be found in this city! Ge Jun shouted.
"Treasure?" The defenders on the Yingshang city wall were a little puzzled.
"Treasure, this treasure is not only in the Taishou Mansion and this military camp, but also in the homes of those people." Ge Jun's voice was louder again.
"Okay, okay, I know, I know, you see, these Yangzhou troops are not well-intentioned. They want to burn and loot on our wings, how can we surrender. Make the fish on the cutting board. Yingshang Taishou was a little eyebrows fluttering, "We want to live and die with Yingshang, and we can't let them harm our people!" Raise your arms and shout, and suddenly Yingshangcheng looked at the enemy.
"The people's hearts can be used, and the people's hearts can be used!" This Yingshang is too guarded in his heart, this Yangzhou army, he can't let the people of Yingshang help him, he can't hold it with 5,000 soldiers and horses, but if he gets the support of the people, then it's different, the people in the city defend the city together, with the height of this Yingshang city, so he can hold on for a while.
"General Zhang Hu, you must know that His Royal Highness the King of Shu, our lord, is kind-hearted and treats the people, it is a first-class good, especially for the people under his rule, you see, the tax is only three layers!" Ge Jun continued to shout.
"Three floors?" The defenders on the city wall were a little dumbfounded, you must know that in Yuzhou, Liu Bei also had to receive fifty percent, even so, everyone was grateful to Dai De, and some of the other princes were seventy percent of them, but this Yangzhou was only thirty percent.
"Thirty percent of the tax, the lord this, this, this is to benefit the people!" Zhang Hu is also patting Liu Mang's ass.
"Who's to say it isn't!" Ge Jun and Zhang Hu sang a double reed. "Our lord, everything else is fine, but there is one thing, that is, he takes care of the people too much, not only to take care of the people of my Yangzhou but also to the people of this big man!"
"General Ge Jun, but what does this have to do with not persuading him to surrender!" Zhang Hu asked suspiciously.
"Of course it does!" Ge Jun hated iron but not steel, "It's because the lord is too good to this people, so our brothers don't have any oil and water to fish, it's not easy to fight a battle, so that the brothers can fill their stomachs!" "This belly is naturally a fanny pack.
"If you are persuaded to surrender, isn't this Yingshang City under the command of the lord, what else do we rob, how to rob, you don't know the lord's military law, you are not allowed to take a stitch and thread from the people, and the person who takes it will be beheaded."
"Ahhh Zhang Hu was shocked: "What should I do!" ”
"General Zhang Hu, so I can't persuade him to surrender, wait for us to lay down this Yingshang, haha, this Yingshang is ours, they are enemies, the people under their rule are naturally also enemies, and it is natural to rob the enemy. When the time comes, our brothers will eat and drink spicy food, and they will be able to sleep with the food, which is a comfortable day. If you are persuaded to surrender, then the brothers will be versatile, just take the few rewards on the Ying, how much money can be paid, and the one who robs him of food on the Yingshang is the opportunity to make a fortune" Ge Jun hated the iron and looked at Zhang Hu with hatred.
"What can I do, what can I do!" The city wall shook again, and the Ge army over there was detailing how to rob it. These things are not less done by these Xiliang Iron Riders, even if they haven't done it, they have always seen it, naturally it is a painting god. Let everyone on the city wall be in danger.
"Foolish people talk in dreams, if you want to take me down on the wing, you want to see if the knives and guns in our hands are willing!" Yingshang Taishou snorted coldly, which made the hearts of everyone on Yingshang settle down a little, yes, they still have weapons, this Yingshang City is still in their hands, as long as Yingshang City is not broken. Then what Ge Jun said below is a fool's dream, thinking like this, the heart of the defenders on this gang of Yingshang is even deeper.
"General Ge Jun. If you don't persuade you to surrender, this Yingshang City will have to be piled up with the lives of your brothers, and you can't kill and injure countless people for those money," Zhang Hu said earnestly to Ge Jun.
"Haha, this is what you Zhang Hu doesn't understand. Let you read two more military books on a regular basis, but if you don't listen, you know how to do it. This Yingshang City, don't look at him as high as several battles, and surrounded by a moat, in fact, he is full of flaws, and it is easy to take him down" Ge Jun looked at Zhang Hu with a disgusted expression.
"Take my jaw off easily? Then here you go! Ben Tai is waiting for you in the city! See how many dead and wounded you have to come to Ben Taishou. "Yingshang Taishou is a little disdainful, although this Yingshang city has been broken once, but it has also been repaired, you can easily take it down. You think the defenders of this city are all eating dry food.
"Don't believe it! Do you remember what the lord said? Ge Jun said disdainfully.
"What?"
"Nature is the strongest fortress in the world. Often it's not from the outside! It's from within! "Ge Jun is popularizing knowledge for Zhang Hu.
"Inside? General Ge Jun, are we in Yingshang City? Zhang Hu asked deliberately.
"Guilty?" The defenders on the walls looked at each other.
"Don't be suspicious, how can there be an internal response in our city, this is just a trick for the enemy." Yingshang is too guarded to comfort people's hearts.
"How can we have an internal response in the city!" Ge Jun is also catering to this Yingshang Taishang.
"Then how do you break the city!"
"Haha, this method of breaking the city is here!" Ge Jun pointed to his mouth and said.
"Mouth?"
"Do you want to kill us with your mouth? If your mouth could kill someone, we would have died a thousand times! Yingshang Taishou sneered, and the city burst into laughter.
"It's still a mouth, but this mouth is not our own, it's theirs." Ge Jun looked coldly at the Yingshang defenders on the city wall.
"Theirs?"
"General Zhang Hu, let me ask you, what is the most inseparable thing about this person!"
"It's a mother, people" Zhang Hu said it without thinking about it, which made everyone wonder.
"Made, you know the grain, it's a little good!" Ge Jun scolded with a smile: "The most inseparable thing for this person is the food of this mouth!" ”
"What do you mean?"
"General Zhang Hu, how much do you want to eat in one meal?"
"Count pounds of grain!"
"Yes, you are a soldier and naturally need to eat more, and we can eat, those defenders within the city wall may not have to eat, their food and grass, their lord has not yet given them it." As soon as Ge Jun said this, many people on the city wall immediately became uneasy, and it was true that there had been no food and salary for a long time.
"Who deducted it?" Zhang Hu asked with wide eyes.
As soon as Zhang Hu said this, the defenders on the Yingshang set their sights on the garrison general and the Yingshang Taishou.
Yingshang Taishou panicked in his heart, none of these officials are as clear as water, and there are no fish when the water is clear, so this Yingshang Taishou is still greedy for ink, so this is a little panicked, but the official is naturally thick-skinned, otherwise it is impossible to be an official. ”
"Where is someone greedy for ink, this Liu Bei's official is still incorruptible!" Ge Jun's words made Yingshang too comfortable, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, this dog's mouth can still highlight the ivory.
"But it's hard for this incorruptible man to cook without rice! Their lord Liu Bei's Runan has no grain and grass, how can it be possible to allocate grain and grass to them, the grain and grass in the treasury of Yingshang City are completely empty. ”
"What, the granary on our jaw is empty?" Someone started talking.
"I'll just say, why haven't you paid food for several months, it turns out that there is no food and grass!"
"Yes, yes, do you remember the beginning, the lord and General Guan, but they also borrowed grain and grass from us."
"How can you fight this without food and grass! You can't go hungry. ”
Looking at everyone's discussions, Yingshang was too anxious, and hurriedly refuted the rumors: "No, no, the lord has already allocated grain and grass." ”
"So why not? Could it be that you are greedy for ink? Someone in the defenders questioned under the cover of the crowd.
"This official is an honest official."
"Then why don't you pay for it?"
"I" Yingshang Taishou didn't know what to say. If it is said that it is delivered, then if he does not pay the salary, he is greedy for ink, if he says that it is not delivered, it is not clear that there is no grain and grass on the Ying.
Originally, this Yingshang Taishou was still counting on borrowing a little more from Guan Yu and the people, but before he could speak, he was poked out by the Yangzhou army, and he immediately jumped up.
"If you want me to say, if there is any grain and grass, you will know if you go to the treasury to see!" Ge Jun continued to fan the flames. "So General Zhang Hu, there is no food and grass on this wing, and in a few days, a bunch of soft-footed shrimp with no food to eat will not be caught! When the time comes, because of the stubborn resistance of this Yingshang City, we robbed him and burned him, and the lord will not say anything. ”
This is a naked threat, this is also a naked threat, you have no food and grass, and the city will be broken for a few days, as soon as the city is broken, I will rob you of your things, and your family will be ruined.
The people on the city wall were panicked, and the Taishou wanted to suppress it, but there was really no food and grass in his treasury.
"Don't panic, don't panic! Even if there is no grain and grass in the treasury, will the fathers and villagers in this city let everyone go into battle hungry to kill the enemy! Think about it, there are tens of thousands of people behind us! These people may be your parents or your wives and children, what are we afraid of? The garrison general stood up, and this sentence made the Yingshang, who was already on the verge of collapse, hold on.
"Huh?" Zhang Liao frowned, this is not what he Zhang Liao wants, if it goes on like this, this will really become a bitter battle.
"The deputy marshal still let me go!" A young general on the side said to Zhang Liao.
"Yes! Only the tired general. Zhang Liao nodded.
Just when Ge Jun and Zhang Hu were about to return in vain, and the defenders of Yingshang on the city wall were about to survive and die together with the city wall, a young general came out of Zhang Liao's army with a war horse and ran in the direction of Yingshang.
"The general must not go forward any longer!" This young general walked in front of Ge Jun and Zhang Hu and was about to move forward, but was stopped by Ge Jun, because if he went forward, it would be within the attack range of Yingshang City, if ten thousand arrows were fired on the city wall, even the cultivators would not be able to bear it.
"Thank you General Ge Jun for your concern!" The young general smiled and hugged his fists at Ge Jun, "I have my own measure!" ”
"Soldiers and people on the wing, do you still remember me!" This general walked to the foot of Yingchuan City, and immediately took off the helmet on his head, revealing his face, and shouted to the Yingshang defenders on the city wall.
"General, General!" The defenders on the top of the walls were in an uproar. (To be continued......)
