Chapter 1242: It's You

The liquid was poured on the face of the Liaodong Army.

Before it could reach his face, he could already feel a wave of scorching air.

There was no time to dodge, and the soldiers of the Liaodong Army were doused with liquid.

With a terrible howl, the skin and flesh on his face and body were scalded in an instant, and he fell off the ladder.

The moment his head and feet fell to the ground, and the moment his head touched the ground, a piece of scalded flesh peeled off from his skull.

Countless Liaodong troops poured onto the ladder, and the Cao army at the head of the city kept throwing stones and splashing boiling oil at them.

With the tilt of the stones and boiling oil, pieces of Liaodong army soldiers fell at the foot of the city wall.

At the head of the city, Cao Cao put his hands behind his back, looking at the handsome banner of the Liaodong Army in the distance, and there was always a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Although the offensive of the Liaodong Army was fierce, it was much paler for the Cao Army in the city.

The difference in the number of soldiers on both sides is not very large, the Cao army, which has experienced countless battles, is all fierce warriors in a hundred battles, while the Liaodong army has not experienced many wars over the years.

An army that has never experienced a war has fought countless times on the battlefield, even on flat ground and the number of people on both sides is equal, the situation is very clear.

Before this battle began, Cao Cao had already seen the success or failure.

Standing at the head of the city, looking at the military camp of the Liaodong Army, listening to the endless sound of fighting, Cao Cao raised his hand and pointed forward, and asked Xun You who was standing next to him: "Gongda thinks, when will our army get this Liaodong?" ”

The look on his face was not as calm as Cao Cao's, Xun You frowned, and said to Cao Cao with a little uncertainty in his tone: "The Liaodong army has repeatedly attacked our army, but the Qin army has not moved, if you get this Liaodong, Cao Gong still has to be cautious in using troops!" ”

The soldiers and horses under his command were already not as good as before, and Cao Cao didn't dare to be too careless about Xun You's construction, the expression on his face was slightly restrained, he nodded, and didn't say anything more.

In the camp of the Liaodong Army, Gongsun Gong stared at the Cao Jun on the city wall from afar, clenching his fists tightly, and the green tendons at his temples were jumping and jumping.

The Qin army was on the border of Liaodong, and as long as the Liaodong army showed a slight defeat on the battlefield, the Qin army would immediately enter Liaodong on the pretext of destroying Cao Cao.

Gongsun Gong also knew very well that with these horses led by him, he would not be Cao Jun's opponent at all.

But knowing that he was invincible, he still had to fight.

And it can't be shown that there is no strength to continue the attack!

Fortunately, Cao Jun was very cooperative, although he controlled the situation of the entire battlefield, he always only held on to the city and did not go out of the city to fight.

The number of both sides is equal, for several days in a row, the Cao army occupies an absolute advantage, once out of the city, whether the Liaodong army can withstand the counterattack of the Cao army, is still unknown.

Staring at the head of the city that Cao Jun was defending, Gongsun Gong's heart always haunted with an ominous feeling.

He felt that he and the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army under his command seemed to have been calculated by the Cao army and the Qin army.

In addition, there is an indescribable feeling that always haunts his heart, making his whole heart tugging, and he can't let go.

"Mingjin retreats!" The attacking Liaodong Army left a large number of dead bodies, but the Cao Army still held the city to the death, not giving the Liaodong Army a chance to attack the city at all.

Receiving his order, the soldiers answered, turned and waved behind them.

With the gesture of the pro-soldiers, the voice of Mingjin was immediately heard in the barracks of the Liaodong Army.

The sound of gold pierced the shouts of the soldiers of the Liaodong Army and the Cao Army.

There was never any hope for attacking the city, and the morale of the officers and men of the Liaodong Army was also declining rapidly.

Hearing the sound of gold, the officers and men of the Liaodong Army barely paused for a moment, and immediately retreated towards the main formation.

The tide rushed to the city wall, and when retreating, it rushed to the main formation like a tide, and the momentum of the Liaodong army was quite spectacular.

The soldiers of the Cao army on the city wall set up feather arrows on their longbows one after another, and shot a puff of arrows at the back of the Liaodong army.

Countless arrows chased the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army, and the Liaodong Army in retreat, the defense was much worse than when it was charged, and on the way to retreat, pieces of officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army fell under the feather arrows of the Cao Army.

His brows were tightly locked, and Gongsun Gong looked at the Liaodong army who was suffering from Cao Junyu's arrows in the retreat, and his clenched fists clenched a little more.

With each charge, the Liaodong Army suffered great casualties.

If this continues, it won't take two days for their overall combat power to drop to the bottom.

At that time, don't say that you will launch another attack, and even self-protection will be difficult.

If Gongsun Kang does not send him reinforcements, the excuse for the Qin army to enter Liaodong will be implemented, and all of Gongsun Du's plans will come to naught.

Gongsun Gong led a large army to attack Cao Cao, and the Qin army was stationed on the border of eastern Liao, watching the two armies fight from afar.

Gongsun Du in Xiangping City was full of irritability.

Cao Cao entered Liaodong, there were not many men and horses, if Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Lan could do their best to repel the Goryeo, the Liaodong army, which had the advantage in numbers, would definitely be able to annihilate Cao's army.

But Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Lan didn't know what they were doing, and in the face of the weak Goryeo army, they never launched a full-scale attack, as if they were deliberately avoiding something.

"Someone!" Sitting in the study, Gongsun Du had a map in front of him, and after looking at the map, he raised his head and shouted out of the door.

A soldier strode into the room and stood at the door, fist-cuffed, waiting for his orders.

Staring at the soldiers who entered the house, Gongsun Du said to him: "Order Lan'er and Kang'er to immediately attack the Goryeo army and go to Gong'er, the two armies will converge in one place and defeat Cao Cao!" ”

"No!" The soldier answered and exited the study.

When the soldier closed the door, Gongsun Du lowered his head again and carefully looked at the map on the table.

What is drawn on the map is the entire territory of Liaodong, and the places marked with some forks and circles are the battlefields where the Liaodong army is fighting.

Judging from the layout of the entire map, the Liaodong Army was occupying an overall advantage at this time.

But Gongsun Du knew that the real advantage was only the army led by Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Lan.

The Goryeo army was as weak as a child in front of the army they led, and as long as they launched a general attack, the head of the king of Goryeo would be placed on Gongsun Du's table in less than two days.

And Gongsun Gong's department, although it has formed a siege of the Cao army, Gongsun Du knows that the combat strength of the Cao army is definitely not as weak as the Goryeo army.

The reason why they shrank their front was just to gather strength and find the most appropriate time to break Gongsun Gong in one fell swoop.

If Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Lan led their troops to help in time, the Liaodong Army would be able to turn the tide of the war in this war and turn from passive to active.

But Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Lan never led the army to rush to the aid of Gongsun Gong.

The three main generals who led the army were all sons and daughters of Gongsun Du.

Looking at the map, Gongsun Du couldn't understand what his eldest son and daughter who had always relied on were doing in their hearts.

Just as he was looking at the map, Gongsun Du's ears suddenly heard a slight sound.

He had been blind for a while.

During the time he was blind, his ears were much more sensitive than they used to be.

If he hadn't been blind for that time, the slightest sound would not have been able to hide from his ears.

The noise is not outside the window, nor is it at the door.

Gongsun Du didn't look up, he already recognized that the sound was coming from the top of his head.

There must be someone hiding on the beam overhead!

Hidden on the beams of the house, needless to say, he also knew who it was.

Maintaining the posture of looking down at the map, Gongsun Du's hand was already quietly pressed on the hilt of the sword.

His judgment was extremely accurate, and there was indeed a person dormant on the beam of the house.

This man had been lying dormant on the beam for a long time, and he had never moved, as if he had been stuck to a piece of cloth on the beam.

Therefore, Gongsun Du did not feel his existence before.

I don't know if it's a little uncomfortable or what, when Gongsun Du gave an order to the soldiers, the people on the beam moved slightly.

It was just a slight movement, which aroused Gongsun Du's vigilance.

Lying on the beams of the room, a smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of the man dressed in black.

He clearly saw Gongsun Du's hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, and he also knew that his whereabouts had been discovered by Gongsun Du.

Exposed his whereabouts, he did not feel the slightest panic, simply turned over and jumped off the beam.

This person turned over and jumped off the beam, standing steadily only four or five steps away from Gongsun Du, staring at Gongsun Du sitting behind the low table with a pair of eyes without blinking.

"I thought a long time ago that someone would come to take someone's life, but I never thought it would be you!" Looking up at the man dressed in black, Gongsun Du removed the hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "If it were someone else, a certain person would have let it go, but it was you, and I am afraid that there is no physiology!" ”

"Meet the Thorn!" The man in black standing in front of Gongsun Du looked to be in his thirties at most, and when Gongsun Du said this, he hugged his fists and bowed deeply and said: "Since the assassin has already made a plan to die, the villain will make it easier to fall later!" ”

"Can you tell me who someone is dying?" Staring at the man in black standing in front of him, Gongsun Du said indifferently: "Since it is you who came, the mastermind is one of the children." ”

The black-clothed man's eyelids drooped slightly, nodded his head and said, "It's good to think about the historical materials." If you can have today, you can't complain about anything else, but blame the assassin Shi for being too indulgent to his children in the past......"

"Pampering?" Looking up at the man in black, Gongsun Du shook his head with a smile and said, "If they were conniving, they wouldn't have such courage." Although it is said that it is a harm to children, it is very comforting in a certain heart! ”
