Chapter 168

At this time, Gongsun Jun, who climbed relatively high, could actually push aside the wood smashed down from above and continue to move forward, but not to mention that there were rolling stones falling, and he was suddenly smashed down the ladder, and fell into a skin and flesh, * bursting.

However, the Gongsun army charged upwards desperately, and soon the role of the rolling stones and sassal wood was much smaller.

Yan Liang had to order the soldiers to put the last resort: gold juice. I brought it up and poured it down.

The effect came up suddenly, and those who climbed the ladder were lucky, and they fell down the ladder and died directly. Those who climbed the ladder lower, after being poured with gold juice, fell down and could not get up, and could only be trampled to death by their own compatriots.

However, after the fearless battle of the Gongsun Chan army, the Gongsun army finally climbed the city wall of Zhongshan Kingdom.

Yan Liang took the lead alone, slashing and killing more than a dozen Gongsun troops who rushed to the city tower, and the rest of the Yuan army was not to be outdone, and waved their swords forward.

After a day of bloody fighting, Gongsun Chan had to order the withdrawal of the army first, and after an inventory, it was only a one-day siege battle, and Gongsun Chan lost a full three or four thousand men and horses.

Gongsun Zhan attacked the city under the Zhongshan Kingdom for five days, and lost countless men and horses, so he had to temporarily order the withdrawal of his troops. In the tent of the Chinese army, Gongsun Zhan frowned, and had to convene all the generals and strategists to discuss the matter.

Gongsun Zan said: "Everyone, I thought that Yuan Shao's old thief would go south, and I would lead the army to conquer in person, but this Zhongshan country city has thick walls, if we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that when we occupy Zhongshan country, we will also suffer heavy losses." How to compete with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others again? ”

Su Dingfang came out and said: "My lord, the minister has a plan to lure Yan Liang out of the city, and then our army will divide into two ways, one way to ambush Yan Liang, and the other way to defraud Zhongshan Kingdom." ”

Gongsun Chan hurriedly asked, "What is General Su's plan?" ”

Su Dingfang said: "The lord can first completely besiege Zhongshan Kingdom and cut off its contact with the outside world. Then he sent people to spread rumors, saying that Cao Cao was confident in a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, and was defeated by Yuan Shao with a stratagem, and now Yuan Shao has sent a large army north. Then he sent someone disguised as Yuan Shao's envoy to tell him that Yuan Shao's army had encountered Gongsun Zhan's army, and asked General Yan Liang to go out of the city to support. ”

Gongsun Chan said: "General Su is a great good! As you say. Tomorrow it will be carried out according to your plan, or it will be left to you to command! ”

Su Dingfang said: "Thank you, lord! ”

Immediately, everyone in Gongsun Zhan's tent dispersed, and Su Dingfang returned to his big tent.

There were already people waiting in Su Dingfang's big tent, and as soon as Su Dingfang entered, this person said: "General Su, can Gongsun Zhan agree with the old man's plan?" ”

Su Dingfang said: "Sir's strategy is unparalleled in the world, how can the lord disagree?" ”

The man said, "That's fine." ”

Su Dingfang continued to ask: "However, Mr. is talented, why doesn't Mr. go directly to my father-in-law, or let someone introduce him?" And don't agree with a certain general to recommend Mr. Gongsun Zhan? ”

The man said: "The old man has long found out that Gongsun Zhan is not the master of the Ming, although this person is decisive in the crusade against foreign races. However, Gongsun Zhan is indecisive in major matters, and he is not the master! ”

Su Dingfang asked puzzledly: "Then, why did Mr. come to join me?" ”

The man said: "The old man Jia Xu has not lived for decades in vain, the old man Guan General is the real master!" Willing to take refuge in the general! ”

Su Dingfang hurriedly went to look outside the big tent, and then came back with confidence and continued to say to Jia Xu: "How can Mr. say such a big rebellious remark!" If you let others hear it, don't you die in the Yellow Spring? ”

Jia Xu saw that Su Dingfang was not in a hurry to refuse, so he said: "Please rest assured, the old man has already sent everyone else out in advance." Rest assured! However, the old man only wanted to know if the general was willing to use Gongsun Zhan's foundation to achieve hegemony! If the general is unwilling, he can send him to Gongsun Zhan! There are no other words in the next place! ”

Su Dingfang said: "Mr. Jia Xu is serious! In this case, thanks to Mr. for looking at it, please also ask Mr. to assist in the next to become a hegemon! ”

Jia Xu bowed down and said: "Jia Xu came to see the lord." ”

Su Dingfang picked up Jia Xu and said: "I have to be Mr., just like Han Gaozu has a ovary, Jiang Shang returns to Zhou!" ”

Su Dingfang led the army to attack for several days, especially on the fifth day, which made the soldiers go up without their lives, but also killed Zhongshan Kingdom several times, so that Yan Liang took his own personal guards to subsidize the loopholes everywhere.

According to Su Dingfang's arrangement, the people dressed as Yuan Jun's messengers rushed in from the four gates of Zhongshan Kingdom, in order to make Yan Liang believe, these people were all selected from the death row prisoners, of course, the premise is that they all have families, and now they have been taken care of by Gongsun Zhan, as long as they send the letter in, and let Yan Liang believe that as long as they are alive, they can be exempted from the death penalty, and they will also be given a large amount of compensation, as for those who die on the battlefield, they will also give their families enough pensions.

Each gate sent six to more than ten people, these people were still full of joy, thinking that they could make a lot of money, but they didn't know that Su Dingfang's plan was that each gate could only reach one or two people at most, and even some doors would not be left, after all, they rushed to report the news after breaking through the siege of so many large armies, and there would be a lot of pursuers behind them.

On the sixth day, all the Gongsun troops under Zhongshan suddenly retreated, and when Yan Liang was puzzled, he saw that Gongsun Zhan's army only left part of the soldiers and horses to stick to the camp, and the rest of the army was all led by a general with a white horse and white robe, and they all rushed to the south.

After a while, I saw smoke and dust flying from about dozens of miles away in the south, and the shouts were shaking.

At this time, the men and horses disguised as Yuan Shao's messengers sent by Su Dingfang had already rushed to Zhongshan Kingdom.

Under Su Dingfang's careful arrangement, there were only a few messengers who successfully arrived. These people all said to Yan Liang in unison: "General Qiyu, the lord has defeated Cao Cao, and he has already led a large army to support the general a few days ago. However, Gongsun Chan laid an ambush on the road in advance, and now the lord is leading the army to fight fiercely with Gongsun Chan's troops, and I will come to ask the general to support on the order of the lord, so that we can defeat Gongsun Chan with foreign cooperation! ”

Yan Liang suddenly came to his senses and said: "No wonder Gongsun Chan has attacked the city so fiercely in the past few days, and has trapped Zhongshan Kingdom, he must want to capture Zhongshan Kingdom before the lord comes to help." Hmph, in the eyes of his Gongsun Zhan, is my Yan Liang so vulnerable? Today, I will make this Gongsun Chan pay the price! Yan Liang picked up his big knife and continued: "Someone! Prepare horses, gather men and horses, leave 40,000 horses to garrison Zhongshan Kingdom, and the rest of the soldiers and horses rushed to the battlefield with me, echoing with the lord before and after, and killing Gongsun Zan by surprise! ”

Yan Liang's advisers persuaded Yan Liang and said, "General, please think twice!" What if this is Gongsun Zhan's trick to lure the enemy? ”

Yan Liang said: "Scholar's opinion! Gongsun Chan threw so many corpses under my Zhongshan Kingdom a few days ago, was it just for their trick to lure the enemy? Hugh has to say more, delay the fighters! ”

The strategist wanted to persuade him again, but Yan Liang had already walked out with a knife. The strategist had to sigh and said, "The erector is not enough to be an accomplice!" If this is really Gongsun Zhan's trick to lure the troops, he can also prevent his home from being ransacked by the rebels. Even if it wasn't Gongsun Zhan's plan to lure the enemy, he did it privately anyway, and Yan Liang wouldn't know about it.

Yan Liang led the army to the place of battle, and saw that the back of Gongsun Zhan's army was left to him, so he decisively ordered an attack. When the soldiers of the Yuan army were about to rush to the back of the Gongsun army, suddenly many of the soldiers of the Yuan army disappeared one after another, and it turned out that the Gongsun army had already dug a trap on his back. Yuan's army lost a lot of men and horses in the first wave of charge.

Yan Liang was also hesitating, but he didn't know if this was Gongsun Zhan's trick to lure the enemy or Gongsun Zhan's bluff, if it was the former, he could withdraw his troops now, but he was afraid that it was the latter, if Gongsun Chan was just bluffing, and his lord Yuan Shao was fighting with Gongsun Zhan's army in front, I was afraid that he would delay the fighter.

At the moment when Yan Liang was thinking, a shout of killing suddenly sounded behind him, and it was Su Dingfang who led the Gongsun Army to kill behind Yan Liang.

Suddenly, Gongsun Junjun drums and horns sounded, and the banner hunted in the wind.

The cavalry on both wings of the Gongsun Army took the lead, and Baima Yicong was even more charged. The soldiers of the Chinese army marched in orderly steps, and the mountain city wall squad advanced, shouting "kill" every three steps, and they actually rumbled forward calmly.

At the same time, the terrible sound of bull's horns shook the valley, the cavalry on both wings roared to meet the attack, and the heavy infantry also strode unstoppably and arrogantly, like a black tide sweeping over the flat ground.

At last the two armies collided like a sea of mountains, and if the rumbling thunder resounded through the valley, and like thousands of angry waves crashing against the mountains. Long swords and scimitars fluttered, spears and spears whistled and flitted, dense arrows rained like locusts crossing the border, and dull shouts and short roars made the mountains and rivers tremble!

However, Yuan's army was already ambushed, and its morale was not high. was given the upper hand by the Gongsun army.

On the other hand, in the Zhongshan Kingdom, Gongsun Zan sent Tian Yu, Gongsun Fan and others to pretend to be Yuan Jun to defraud the Zhongshan Kingdom.

And the strategist who stayed in Zhongshan was Xu You, and Xu You knew that he could only surrender at this time. Although Xu You ordered the city gate to be opened, there were still some diehard Yuan diehards who led their men to continue to resist.

Zhongshan Kingdom, filled with the smoke rising from the raging war, billowing and filling the entire city. The 'Yuan' flag that hunted in the wind was already tattered and ragged, and it seemed that it would fall in an instant.

Above the city tower, there were dead bodies lying on the ground, bleeding endlessly, but no one came forward to clean up, and the thick smell of blood and sweat was mixed with each other, filling the air, pungent and unpleasant.

But the war continues.
