Chapter 1101 Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat Gongsun Zhan
Guangyang County, Jixian County, once Youzhou Prefecture, the most prosperous city in the north, has been completely shrouded in smoke at this time.
In just three years, Gongsun Chan launched five attacks on Jixian County. The five attacks fell short because of the deep walls of Jixian County, which made Gongsun Zhan's Hongyuan of Youzhou repeatedly fail.
And today, Gongsun Chan launched the sprint to Jixian County for the sixth time!
Countless soldiers charged towards Jixian, and a group of soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding huge shields marched forward, followed by a large group of crossbowmen.
Among the soldiers, hundreds of ladders and rushing cars were scattered scattered, braving the arrows and advancing step by step.
On the city wall, the defenders frantically smashed the siege army with torch stones, rolling wood, fire oil and other defensive equipment, and the arrows on the city wall rained down, harvesting the lives of the enemy soldiers.
The intensity of the war is extremely high, countless people are killed every minute and every second, and more troops are being sent at the same time!
From time to time, the besieging army collapsed in morale because of the heavy losses, and scattered and fled. Dressed in black armor and expressionless, the Overseers mercilessly slaughtered the soldiers who dared to flee one by one.
In the distance, Gongsun Chan stood on his horse, looking at the tragic battlefield in front of him expressionlessly, and behind him, tens of thousands of soldiers in white robes stood silently, silently exuding a chilling murderous aura.
Gongsun Zhan's army was on the offensive, rushing towards Jixian in waves.
However, Jixian County is like a thousand-year-old boulder standing in the waves, let the wind and rain blow, I will not move. In addition to leaving corpses all over the ground, Gongsun Zhan's army did not achieve substantial results.
After a long time, a general covered in blood came to Gongsun Zhan's side and said sadly: "Lord, the high walls of Jixian County are deep, and we lack strong siege equipment, and the sons and daughters have suffered heavy casualties. ”
Listening to the general's words, many generals around Gongsun Chan echoed their words.
For a royal city like Jixian, under the premise that there is no chaos in the city, there is no strong siege equipment is simply an unsolvable problem. Gongsun Zhan attacked Jixian five times before, and they all hated Jicheng.
And Liu Yu was able to persist in three years undefeated under the onslaught of Gongsun Zhan by virtue of the advantage of occupying Jicheng.
If it was Gongsun Zhan who occupied Jicheng at the beginning, Liu Yu's grave grass would be one zhang high at this time.
Gongsun Zhan glanced at the retreating generals with an expressionless face, and a cold glow flashed in his deeply sunken eyes.
In three years, in order to complete the goal of unifying Youzhou, Gongsun Chan can be said to have devoted himself to army construction. In order to raise military spending, he did not hesitate to greatly overdraft the people's resources, so that his rule was full of complaints and reputation, and I don't know how many people were looking forward to his immediate death day and night!
In addition, because of the indiscriminate use of troops to fight for many years, the morale of the army has dropped significantly, the soldiers are tired, and there is no time to make effective corrections, and the loyalty of the army has dropped sharply.
At the same time, because of five battles and five defeats, he was also designated as a thief by the imperial court, which led to a decline in the loyalty of the generals under Gongsun Zhan to varying degrees, which made Gongsun Zhan's power even worse.
At this time, Gongsun Zhan has reached the point of exhaustion, and now he is still supported by the belief that Jixian County will unify Youzhou.
In fact, at this time, Gongsun Chan already had a tendency to enter the devil, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that even if he defeated this time and successfully unified Youzhou. How can the dilapidated land of Youzhou compete with the Shang Ji who has been recuperating for three years?
Gongsun Chan doesn't care about this, his only thought is to break through Jixian County and dominate Youzhou!
The military general looked at Gongsun Chan expectantly, hoping to hear the order to withdraw from Gongsun Chan's mouth, but the truth disappointed him, and a cold light flashed between them, and the military general immediately felt a cold neck, and blood spurted out!
"Dare to say goodbye - die!"
Sen Han's words were squeezed out from between his teeth, and with the spear still dripping with blood in his hand, everyone's hearts were suddenly cold, and their faces changed greatly.
Only Gongsun Zhan's deep face of more than 10,000 white-robed troops has not changed, and as Gongsun Zhan's exclusive special troops, the white horse righteous servants themselves have similar attributes of absolute loyalty.
And these white horse righteousness are also the biggest reliance on Gongsun Zhan to persist until now.
"The order is down, and all those above the rank of Sima from other departments will quickly gather in front of the general, and the army will be handed over to the deputy commander for the time being. If you don't come in three quarters of an hour, you will be decided! ”
After finishing speaking, Gongsun Chan didn't care about the reactions of others, sat on the war horse and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Everyone looked at each other at a loss, but Gongsun Zhan's order was quickly passed on.
It didn't take long for the generals to come one after another, and at the request of Gongsun Zhan, all the generals above the middle level of the army were assembled.
Everyone looked puzzled, and many people whispered, not understanding what Gongsun Chan had summoned them to do at this critical juncture.
Seeing that everyone was coming, Gongsun Chan opened his eyes and clapped his hands.
Immediately, rows of shirtless men came carrying boxes one after another.
The strong man clenched his teeth and walked with a sinister step, leaving deep footprints on the ground he walked, and it was obvious that the contents of the box were not light.
"Boom, boom!!"
At the signal of Gongsun Zhan, the dense boxes were neatly placed in front of everyone.
"Open!"
When the strong man heard this, he opened the box one by one, and then saw the sound of everyone gasping.
There was nothing else in the chest, but gold coins that shimmered with a charming light!
As middle-level and above generals in the army, these generals have not seen money, but the dense mountains of gold are piled up in front of them, and the shock is absolutely indescribable if they are not seen with their own eyes.
Gongsun Zhan dismounted, walked to a box, got up with a kick, and kicked the box to pieces. The gold coins in it were scattered all over the sky, and many of them were smashed on the heads of the generals, making people in a trance.
"Here, there are three hundred chests of gold coins, each box is 200,000!"
"Today, Ben will recruit the vanguard dead and charge with Ben. All of this money will be given to the applicants, and those who want to get money will come quickly! ”
After speaking, Gongsun Chan didn't pay attention to the others, sat on the chair with a big sword, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
"Goo-dong!"
An obvious sound of swallowing saliva sounded, and a military general with a somewhat dazed expression stepped out, touched the golden mountain, and shouted excitedly: "Die for the Lord!! ”
"Die for the Lord!"
"Die for the Lord!"
………………
It was as if the switch had been turned on, and the shouts were endless.
The faces of the few high-ranking generals who didn't care much about the reward changed, and they were so engulfed by the fanatical atmosphere that they could not be allowed to back down.
Listening to the cheers all day long, Gongsun Zhan's cold face finally showed a smile, Huo Ran got up, and shouted: "Raise the battle flag of the general, pass the order, after breaking Ji County, the whole army will plunder for three days!" ”
Immediately afterwards, Gongsun Zhan shifted his gaze to the people in front of him, and shouted: "Today's victory will be glorious and rich, and defeat will be no bones, and I am willing to drink rich and beautiful wine with all the kings!" ”
After speaking, Gongsun Chan suddenly turned around, flew on his horse, raised the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, follow Ben to break the city!" ”
