21. Temporary withdrawal
Zhuo County, Zhuo County.
"Kill."
"Kill, kill, kill."
The scene is very bloody, the whole city wall has long been stained with brown bloodstains, the blood is bright red, constantly dyed, plus the passage of time, whether it is on the battlements, or on the side of the city wall, the bewitching red has long become a low brown, dry a layer, and a layer of blood splashed up, there are constantly lives lost, there are constantly ladders overturned, hot vegetable oil is poured down, burned, slipping and falling to death, abound, this is a real fight, this is a barbaric fight, both sides shout to kill the sky, Waves of soldiers and horses climbed the wall, the corpses fell down one by one, on the city tower, the rolling wood has been used up, but the corpses are pounced layer by layer, and these corpses, whether they are their own or the enemy, finally replaced the role of the rolling wood, one by one was thrown down, the siege soldiers who climbed the ladder, let out a frightened sound, the whole person fell, the ladder pressed, spit blood, and could not get up again.
This is ancient, the war of cold weapons, death, often comes simple and complex, modern war, a shot hits a fatal place, dead, will not feel pain, in the war of cold weapons, was cut in the chest with a knife, but will not die immediately, but keep struggling and rolling, and finally the eyes are angry and unwilling to die, this is war, the war of cold weapons, bloody and cruel, the eagles in the sky keep flapping their wings and refuse to leave, in their red pupils, underneath, that is their food, they can't finish eating, Food that you can't take with you, fresh and delicious food.
Under the city, Gongsun Chan frowned slightly, looking at the fierce battle between the enemy and us, his face was calm.
There is no doubt that he is a very qualified commander, maybe he is not good at strategy, but he is definitely one of the best commanders in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he is a delicate son born for the war, under his command, tens of thousands of Youzhou soldiers, none of them dare to retreat, dare to fight and dare to kill, from early morning to noon, take a short rest, and fight endlessly until the sun is about to set, everyone has a breath in their hearts. Looking at the sky, he knew that this battle should also end, he was defeated, for him, not capturing Zhuo County, it was a failure, to the level of Gongsun Zhan, leaving behind the corpses of tens of thousands of soldiers, but failing to capture the enemy city, it was a failure.
On the city tower, Liu He's face was a little pale, and he looked at it, the entire city tower, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a corpse in the field, there are enemies, there are their own soldiers, layer by layer, the blood is like a tap water leaking, constantly overflowing, dyeing every corner of the city tower into maroon, that is the color of blood mixed with coagulation.
Mr. Hu's expression was indifferent, he never underestimated Gongsun Zhan, and he lifted his trump card at the beginning of the fight.
'Senluo Guard', one of the four Davids of the Tianya Sea Pavilion, has been inherited for thousands of years, although there are less than a thousand people, but all of them are good at killing, and they are also the main force defending the city.
Although he has already looked up to Gongsun Zhan, after seeing the enemy fighting for a day, he is still full of morale and is not afraid of life and death, Mr. Hu still sighs a little, Gongsun Chan has a good way of governing the army, and it is indeed worthy of his name.
On the other hand, on his own side, Liu He's face was pale, and the soldiers were languishing, Mr. Hu was naturally disappointed in his heart, if it weren't for the support of the Senluo Guards, even he would want to abandon the city and leave.
Looking at the sky, the sun has sunk into the mountains with half of his face, Mr. Hu saw this, he knew in his heart, he knew that Gongsun Chan should almost retreat, attack the city at night, how can it be so easy, after all, they have been fighting for a day, and the soldiers on both sides are tired, it is impossible for Gongsun Chan not to see this.
Sure enough, the Youzhou military array no longer sent troops, and at the same time, several orders rang out, and Gongsun Chan finally withdrew his troops.
Under the city, Zhao Yun, who had already killed and injured the wall again, saw this, and could only retreat helplessly, this was the sixth time he had killed the city wall, but he encountered strong resistance on the city wall, especially the shirtless bald troops, which gave Zhao Yun a strong pressure, and the soldiers who followed him to climb the city wall did not have time to assist him at all, they had been cleared, relying on his strength alone, after killing dozens of people, he could only retreat helplessly, this army is too strong, compared to the eagle Yang Ruishi, it is not inferior at all, or even stronger, individual soldier ability, All of them are good enough to be junior officers.
On the other hand, Gongsun Xu also retreated unwillingly, the resistance he encountered on his side would be relatively small, but it was only relatively speaking, although the Senluo Guards mainly dealt with Zhao Yun and Yingyang Ruishi, but there were still nearly 100,000 ordinary Han and Hu miscellaneous soldiers, and the number of people, relying on their lives to fill, also blocked Gongsun Xu.
When the enemy army poured back like a tide, Liu He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and sat on the ground with his ass, although he was a little afraid of war, he was not a deserter, and the sword in his hand also stabbed more than a dozen enemy soldiers who climbed the city wall, which was also a little bloody.
Mr. Hu also breathed a sigh of relief, fighting against an iron-blooded general like Gongsun Zhan, even with the help of the Senluo Guards, he still felt a lot of pressure.
Youzhou Army, temporary station.
The first battle failed to conquer Zhuo County, Gongsun Chan had no choice but to retreat to another small county dozens of miles away, the county had not yet been taken by Liu He, and the county officials were all appointed by Gongsun Zhan, and they were still under the control of Gongsun Zhan.
Gongsun Zhan occupied the magpie's nest and used the county government as a temporary office to invite his subordinates to negotiate.
But seeing Gongsun Zhan's face was heavy, he said: "Today, our army and horses are constantly pressing, but they have not been able to capture Zhuo County in a battle, it seems that Liu He has the help of a master." ”
In the presence of the generals, Zhao Yun's face was solemn, and he said: "The last general attacked the city wall several times, but was blocked by a shirtless bald army. ”
Everyone's faces changed slightly, and Gongsun Xu couldn't believe it: "Liu He has such an elite? ”
Zhao Yun was speechless, and Gongsun Zhan was silent for a moment and said, "It's not Liu He's department. ”
"It's the end of the earth that has made a move."
When Guan Jing heard this, his heart was shocked, only he knew a little about the people present, and the rest of the people, including Gongsun Xu, didn't know about Lu Dao, his father was also from those mysterious forces.
Guan Jing stood up, a little undecided, and said: "Lord, since the end of the world has made a move, do you want the old man... Move too? ”
When Gongsun Zhan heard this, he was noncommittal, obviously having his own arrangements in his heart, and replied to the question: "Is there any news about Jinyue?" ”
The Jin Yue in Gongsun Zhan's mouth is Gongsun Yang, and Jin Yue is his word.
Gongsun Fan on the side shook his head and sighed slightly: "There is no news yet, as if it has disappeared." ”
The first prince Sun Zhan's face was a little ugly, and he said coldly: "Look for it again, I don't believe that there is no trace of such a big person's disappearance, Jinyue is strong in martial arts, there must be some uncontrollable accident before something happens, give me more efforts to find it." ”
"Where is the eagle dog?"
The eagle dog with a gloomy face walked out of the darkness, he was like the shadow of Gongsun Zhan, and where there was a dark place, there was his existence.
"If you go to Zhuoxian in person, you must find out what happened that day."
Hearing this, the eagle dog nodded, and turned to leave.
"Fight again tomorrow, be sure to capture Zhuo County and kill Liu He." Gongsun Chan ordered.
When the generals heard this, they suddenly responded: "Oh." ”
