The arrival of Gongsun Xiaoban filled Zu Zhao's army with all kinds of discussions. They hoped that Gongsun Xiaoban could defeat the Yellow Turban general, so that the army would go straight up and break through Yangle City. At the same time, they were also worried that if Gongsun Xiaoban could not defeat the Yellow Turban generals, then if this continued, their hearts would be unstable, for fear that Zu Zhao would be defeated.

The problem that the soldiers are worried about is also what Zu Zhao is worried about. At night, he personally gathered all the generals to study the battle in the coming day, and the first thing everyone discussed was the strength of Gongsun Xiaoban. Yu Ban knew the strength of Gongsun Xiaoban best, but he didn't know Li Ran's true ability after all, so he suggested that he should fight first in the coming day, and let Gongsun Xiaoban watch the battle from the sidelines.

Zu Zhao felt that this was indeed very good, and adopted Yu Ban's suggestion. However, it has been delayed for too long, and the soldiers are already a little tempted, if the battle cannot be won tomorrow, then the morale of the army will definitely be shaken, and if it drags on any longer, it will inevitably be a big deal. He decided that no matter whether Gongsun Xiaoban was victorious or defeated tomorrow, he would command a large army to attack the city.

Chen Youzhi said: "General, such a strong attack is not good for our army, and the current morale, if Miss Gongsun also loses, the soldiers will be discouraged, if it is really attacked, it will be defeated." ”

For Chen Youzhi's words, the ancestral house affirmed, but he had an important news, which he had just gotten before the meeting, that is, the siege vehicle he ordered someone to secretly make had been successful, and Feng Luoxue was coming with the army with the siege vehicle, and it was estimated that he would be able to arrive at noon tomorrow.

Chen Youzhi and Zhang Yuan both heard that Zu Zhao had talked about the idea of the siege vehicle, but they didn't pay much attention to it later, and they couldn't imagine that it had succeeded now, which was really incredible. Zu Zhao told everyone that four of the siege vehicles brought by Feng Luoxue this time were directly for soldiers to attack the city, and one of them was a city gate impact vehicle. If the siege vehicles arrive tomorrow, then attacking Yangle City will not be a problem.

Everyone listened to Zu Zhao's words, and they were all very happy. Chen Youzhi said: "General, if we attack the city, then there are three possibilities for the Yellow Turban to be defeated, one is to fight to the death, one is to surrender, and the other is to escape. Judging by the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, as long as they are defeated, they will flee in all directions. But after they had fled, someone else would come forward and gather the fleeing people. These Yellow Turban soldiers were ordinary people, and the reason why they resisted was that they hoped to have food and clothes to wear, so they chose the road of rebellion in the army. If they escape, as soon as our army withdraws, they will come back and bring disaster to the people, and we can't let them do that this time. ”

Zhang Yu listened, stared at them and asked, "Does the military advisor mean to kill them all?" ”

Chen Youzhi said: "Of course not, if we do this, we will definitely bear a reputation for being unkind, and when we send troops in the future, everyone will resist desperately." ”

Zu Zhao nodded and said: "That's right, for the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, they really can't be killed, they are originally ordinary people, they rebelled for their lives, if they are killed, who will dare to surrender in the future." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Soldiers can not be killed, but generals must die, and they must be killed to set an example, otherwise someone will always take the lead in rebellion." And in order to live, people will naturally risk their lives to respond. ”

Everyone agrees with Zhang Yuan's point of view, the generals of the Yellow Turban Army are anxious for the people to make chaos under the sign of turning over for the people of the world, but in fact, they themselves are even more sad for the people. Generals are also very unkind, and they wantonly allow soldiers to slaughter the people and rob money and food, so unrighteous generals must be killed.

Zu Zhao asked: "Military, what do you think about the specific conquest of thieves?" ”

Chen Youzhi said: "I carefully looked at the map around this Yangle City. On the east, west, and north sides, there is a very vast land, and if the Yellow Turban Army escapes from these three sides, it will be difficult to besiege them, and they will easily escape. To the south is the mountains, and there is only one jump road leading to the outside of the mountain. Tomorrow's siege is just that, when each of them sends a general to attack the three gates of the city, leaving the south side unattacked, so that they can escape, and then he must send another general to ambush them in front of them and force them to surrender. As for the soldiers who surrendered, the strong can be incorporated into the army, and the others can let them join the production team in Liaodong or let them devote themselves to the construction of Liaoxi, so as to give them a job and let them atone for their sins, so that they will no longer be bewitched by others and rebel, as long as we are stable internally, and such a thing appears externally, we have an economy and an army, and we can gradually expand our strength. ”

After listening to it, they all agreed with Chen Youzhi's plan, and Zu Zhao was even more happy in his heart, this Chen Youzhi is really able to lead troops outside and lead politics inside, which is really a rare talent. After conquering Liaoxi, he must report to the imperial court and let Chen Youzhi act as the county guard of Liaoxi, and then he can actually control Liaoxi in his own hands. After he returned to Liaodong, he got rid of Gongsun Du, then Liaodong County was really controlled in his own hands, with Liaodong in Liaoxi as a development base, plus the peripheral Silla, his rear can be said to be stable and ruthless, and in the face of the development of the situation, as long as he controls Youzhou, then he has the ability to compete with other princes and military law.

Yi Chen had a plan of ambition, Zu Zhao asked Zhang Yuan to attack the east gate with a car that broke the city gate, and at the same time used a siege vehicle; Zhao Meng and Han Ye attacked Ximen with a siege engine; Zhang Yu led an army to attack the north gate, and Chen Youzhi led the army to ambush in the south to block the retreat of the Yellow Turban Army, and when Feng Luoxue arrived, let her bring another army and ambush at the gate of the West Gate, responsible for chasing and killing the Yellow Turban general, so that not a single Yellow Turban general would be let go, and all the Yellow Turban soldiers could be blocked.

After everything was distributed, at the fifth watch of the next day, the army began to make food, and when the sun rose in the morning, it was possible to eat, and then there was Yu Ban to fight first, Gongsun Xiaoban watched the battle from the sidelines, as long as she saw Li Ran's strength and attack routine, she immediately changed back to Yu Ban and defeated Li Ran with all her might. As soon as Li Ran failed, Zhang Yuan immediately led the army to rush and kill, storming the east gate, and at the same time raising fire as a signal, so that the armies on both sides of the northwest also attacked at the same time, the Yellow Turban thieves were attacked on three sides, and the commander was defeated, and the natural army was frustrated and had no intention of fighting, so if they fled from the south gate and fell into the trap, they could be captured in one fell swoop.

At the fifth watch of the next day, Zuzhao began to live and cook in the barracks, and when the sky was slightly bright, the army began to eat. As soon as the army had eaten, Feng Luoxue arrived at the siege vehicle, and everyone was very curious to watch. The city-wrecked car was made of a mixture of metal and wood, not all of which was metal, because it was too heavy and pushed hard. Even if there is a wooden structure, a large drill like a broken pestle in front of it still occupies a large proportion, and then there is an iron roof that is used to cover the heads of the soldiers, with that canopy, the soldiers who push the cart against the door do not have to be afraid of being shot by the bow and arrow shot by the enemy on the castle tower or hit by stones, they can break the door with all their strength.

The wheels of the siege vehicle are not wooden wheels, but rubber wheels made of rubber water that Zu Zhao specially went to the land of the Southern Barbarians, although they are not inflated but filled with water, which is much stronger than using wooden wheels. Zu Zhao had learned rubber manufacturing before, so he still knew how to make rough rubber wheels, and after many failures, he finally succeeded. And there was no shortage of talented people during the Three Kingdoms period, they just didn't know how to use rubber at that time.

As for the chariot that the soldiers used to attack the city, it was only of the lifting type, and the high shelves could be lowered when they were transported away, and the shelves carrying soldiers could be raised when the city was attacked, which was a product of engineering technology in those days.

Everything was ready, and the three-way army outside the east gate quietly ambushed on the three sides, while the east side was forbidden to lead the troops to the battle, and Gongsun Xiaoban and Zu Zhao watched the battle together in the rear army. Gongsun Xiaoban was wearing a white helmet and white robe, with a delicate face, riding a white horse, if she didn't know that she was a woman, she looked like a handsome little general, but in Zu Zhao's eyes, she was an out-and-out beauty. It is very different from Cai Wenji, Feng Luoxue and Quan Zhiyu. Although they are people who understand martial arts like Feng Luoxue, Feng Luoxue belongs to the type of chivalrous woman, and this Gongsun Xiaoban is the type of female general who does not let her eyebrows go, so that Zu Zhao does not think about it.

Gongsun Xiaoban rode a white horse beside Zu Zhao, and his heart was also fluttering, wanting to take a sneak look at Zu Zhao, but he didn't dare, but he couldn't help but want to see it. She asked Zu Zhao to describe Zu Zhao's appearance to the painter before, she saw that the man in the painting was such a talent, and now she saw the deity, and she was even more confused by him, a restrained and calm temperament, but not lacking the man's boldness and integrity, this is exactly the man she likes, the Zu Zhao in her fantasy.

In the end, she couldn't help it, turned her head to look at Zu Zhao, but saw that Zu Zhao was also looking at her, he blushed and turned his head shyly. Seeing her shyness, Zu Zhao felt even more pity in his heart, and said, "Miss Gongsun, Lord Gongsun, he is not harmed, right?" ”

Gongsun Xiaoban heard that Zu Zhao was asking about her father, and her heart was a little calmer, and said, "Father, he is very good, thank you for the general's concern." ”

Zu Zhao said: "I went to Xuansu County before and saw Lord Gongsun, but I didn't know that he had such a beautiful daughter. It is a great honor for Zu Zhao to have your help today. ”

Gongsun Xiaoban said shyly: "It is the honor of the little woman to help the general. I hope it can help the army. ”

Zu Zhao said: "There will be a battle later, Miss Gongsun must be careful." Don't hurt yourself, or I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life. If you can't be defeated, retreat immediately, and don't fight hard. Of course, I don't believe in the strength of Miss Gongsun, I heard that you can defeat Yu Ban, your ability must be very good, Zu Zhao really admires it very much, it is really a blessing to see Miss Gongsun today. ”

The general laughed. That's what Lord Yu Ban asked me to do. General Xie Lu Xie cares, I will be careful. Gongsun Xiaoban said.

"Be careful, when the war is over, I should personally send the Gongsun girl back, and also visit the county keeper to express my gratitude." Zu Zhao said.

As soon as she heard that Zu Zhao was going to send her back, Gongsun Xiaoban's heart blossomed, and she seemed to have seen herself and Zu Zhao riding a horse together, galloping indulgently on the field. But this short thought was chaotic by the sound of drums, and Yu Ban had already led the army to the city gate.

As soon as the forbidden army arrived at the city gate, the city gate opened, and an army rushed out of it, led by Li Ran, and on the left and right were his two most powerful lieutenants.

Li Ran saw that there was another general with a fresh face, and asked very indifferently: "What, where did Zu Zhao invite people from to send him to death?" ”

Yu Ban pointed a gun at him and said, "I came to take your dog's life, and I dare to be so rampant." ”

Li Ran said with a smile: "Everyone who came said they wanted to take my life, but in the end, they all failed. I see that you are strong and strong, and the weapons in your hands are also decent, and I think you also have some ability, if you want to take refuge in me, I can consider it and spare your life. ”

Yu Ban smiled: "You don't want to kill me, I want to kill you." Without further ado, let's let the horses come. ”

Li Ran was angry and stepped forward. When Yu Ban saw it, he also clamped his legs, and rushed forward with a gun in both hands. Just as he was about to get closer, Li Ran waved his arm, and five stones wanted to hit the forbidden door. Yu Ban was taken aback, and hurriedly lowered his head to dodge, but right here, he only heard the sound of the whip, and Li Ran's nine-section whip had already hit him.

Yu Ban moved when he heard the sound, and at the moment he waved his gun to block Li Ran's nine-section whip. That Li Ran walked away, and after a whip was blocked by Yu Ban, he jerked it and whipped the nine-section whip back, and Yu Ban's face was also scratched by the whip, leaving a bloody mark in an instant.

Yu Ban was furious, roared, and stabbed Li Ran directly with one shot. Li Ran dodged, and another whip was swung out, hitting Yu Ban's gun, entangling it. When Li Ran saw it, he pulled hard, wanting to pull the gun over, but Yu Ban was so strong that he almost pulled Li Ran off the horse.

Zu Zhao watched from a distance and couldn't help but admire: "Yu Ban is really brave." ”

Gongsun Xiaoban listened to it and answered: "He is the most capable person around my father, and he has saved my father many times, which is very powerful." ”

Zu Zhao said, "But you defeated him. ”

Gongsun Xiaobange smiled and said, "That's what he let me." But I have a secret weapon, and even if he doesn't let me, I won't lose. ”

Zu Zhao nodded and said: "As an open gun, it is easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, and if you can use a hidden weapon well, it can indeed turn the situation around in an instant." If we hadn't met Li Ran, who could use flying stones, we would have captured this Yangle City a long time ago, and we wouldn't have reached this point. Miss Gongsun, can you see Li Ran's means of attack? ”

Gongsun Xiaoban said: "His nine-section whip looks very powerful, in fact, he is only the most basic routine he has learned, but his hidden weapon flying stone is a little powerful, and he can master the moment of attack, and it is easy for him to catch the flaws when he fights." However, his nine-section whip will definitely be defeated by my meteor hammer, and my willow leaf throwing knife is not afraid of his flying stones at all, general, I will definitely be able to defeat him. ”

Zu Zhao said: "Then there is Miss Lao Gongsun, you must be careful, don't hurt yourself." ”

"General Xie cares." Gongsun Xiao had only finished speaking, and he had already ridden out and rushed directly towards Li Ran. At this moment, Li Ran is in a stalemate with Yu Ban, he has used flying stones with Yu Ban many times, but Yu Ban has dodged them, so the gun in his hand has not been taken away.

Gongsun Xiaoban rode his horse, and he didn't speak, he directly used the meteor hammer and hit Li Ran's right hand holding the nine-section whip in a straight line. Li Ran saw that a sudden attack came, and hurriedly shook the whip and pulled it back from Yu Ban's gun.

At the last moment, he finally dodged Gongsun Xiaoban's meteor hammer, which scared him a little in his heart. Yu Ban saw Gongsun Xiaoban coming, explained a few words, and drove back. Gongsun Xiaoban nodded and let Yu Ban retreat, and then said to Li Ran: "You are Li Ran, the general of the Yellow Turban Thief?" ”

Li Ran looked at Gongsun Xiaoban suspiciously, seeing that her face was white, her eyes were like autumn frost, she was as handsome, and her voice was extremely sweet, and then she looked at the back of her hand, which was also surprisingly white and delicate, and couldn't help but laugh: "Are you a woman?" ”

Gongsun Xiaoban was surprised: "How do you know that I am a woman?" ”

Li Ran smiled: "You are really a woman." What a beauty, Zu Zhao is no one available, and he actually sent a woman here. Anyway, I'm missing a queen, why don't you follow me, I'll beat you all over the world, I don't want to hurt your white and delicate face. ”

Listening to Li Ran's words, the adjutant general and the soldiers behind him all laughed. Gongsun Xiaoban was extremely angry, she felt that this was the biggest bully to her, this was completely looking down on her, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, you are causing trouble to the country, I will definitely capture you alive today." ”

"Yo, and I'm still angry, I like it. Then you can do it, I'll see how many catties a woman can have, and don't be pulled on horseback by me when the time comes. Li Ran said with a smile.

"Despicable." Gongsun Xiaoban scolded for a while, threw out the pop hammer and called Li Ran directly. Li Ran didn't dare to underestimate it, he also used soft weapons, knowing the power of the Dao Meteor Hammer, and those who could use the Meteor Hammer were not ordinary people, because this weapon was the most difficult one to learn, much more difficult to learn than the nine-section whip.

Li Ran waved out the nine-section whip, and most of the horses with Gongsun Xiaoban got up, the two soft weapons intersected, but they were not entangled with each other, and the soldiers of the three armies were all enthusiastic. I saw that the two of them were big, but they were each playing with their weapons, but everyone knew that as long as one missed and was hit by the other party, then he would lose.
