Chapter 101: Drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle
Chapter 101: Drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle
Let's say that Zhao Yun has not yet started to act, and the vicinity of the granary has changed again.
The granary full of wreckage, galloping over nearly a thousand battle horses, was very embarrassed, looking panicked, and when he walked in, it made the Gong army panic, and it was Gong Xuanwu and Gong Xuanzhi.
"Open the camp gates. ”
Gong Xuanwu said loudly, at this time, he broke out of the encirclement and returned to his camp, so that he was not panicking, and his heart was settled, but he was full of sadness, sadness for the army of the dead.
The gate of the camp soon opened, and Gong Xuanwu and Gong Xuanzhi immediately rushed in, without going anywhere else, and went straight to the camp of the ancestor of the Gong family.
After the two of them left, the whole camp remembered the sound of discussion, there were still 40,000 troops when they left, why only a thousand people came back, and the others would not be all?
The soldiers thought and discussed, and at last the silent ones had a hint of worry in their hearts.
"Ancestor, we were defeated, and all 40,000 troops were slaughtered!"
In the stuffy tent, Gong Xuanwu and Gong Xuanzhi were sweating profusely, and their tones were a little trembling, while the ancestor of the Gong family had an expression on his face, and just said coldly:
"Two pieces of waste!"
Gong Xuanwu and Gong Xuanzhi were cold, knelt directly on the ground and said: "Ancestor, it's really Li Tang who is too cunning, we can't guard against it, and he is ......ambushed by accident."
Looking at the two people who kept shirking their responsibilities, the ancestor of the Gong family sighed in his heart, when will he be able to grow up and hold up a piece of the sky alone to defend thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!
Thinking in his heart, he said in a disappointed tone: "Get up! Prepare for the decisive battle in the future, and I will personally take action in the decisive battle." ”
Now the only way to do this is to put aside your worries, take action by yourself, defeat the local martial king, and then use the strength of one person to set the tide, break the momentum of ten thousand armies, and return the four seas to peace.
"Yes, Ancestor!"
Gong Xuanwu and Gong Xuanzhi said excitedly, with the ancestor making a move, why worry about the enemy's chaos.
Thousands of miles away, the sun baked the ground hot, a breeze blew, rolling up a wave of heat, hanging on people's faces, suddenly feeling very anxious, very uncomfortable.
At this time, Zhao Yun, according to the original plan, he should be lurking in secret, but after receiving a new order, he led his army straight down, preparing to seize the dock fort, burn the grain and grass of the Gong army, and cut off the back road of the Gong army's retreat.
The wind and clouds suddenly changed, Zhao Yun's Changshan army seemed to fall from the sky, the first moment they didn't know where to go, and the next moment the west gate of the dock fort appeared, and the army oppressed, making the dock fort defenders panic.
"Quick, go to the West Gate, repel the enemy army, and make sure to ensure the safety of the dock fort!"
"But General, hasn't the western city wall been destroyed? Without the advantage of defending the city, how can we resist 70,000 enemy troops?"
"If there is no city wall to resist, you will use people to resist, if the dock fort is lost, why will they all die!"
"Yes!"
After a short conversation, the Dock Fort quickly mobilized the army to defend it, using the point as a camp and the behavior as a basis, and blocked the western city wall tightly.
But in any case, the human wall is not as important as the city wall.
A hint of mockery flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes, and he ordered loudly: "Kill!"
Under the rain of swords, the neighing of war horses, Zhao Yun turned into a white mang, rushed towards the devastated city wall, like a god descending to earth, with a bright silver spear in his hand, hit the heart of the soldier of the Gong army, with a wisp of blood, the soldier slept here, elegant and bloody.
"Changshan Army, invincible!"
The army soon approached the western wall, this ruined city wall, stepping on countless Changshan army soldiers, the war broke people's hearts, the sword qi was addicted, and the city wall of Wubao turned red again.
"Quickly block the walls and repel the enemy. ”
The general defending the city was a rough man, but now he showed the eagerness of his sister-in-law, and hurriedly mobilized the army, hoping to defend a city with his own command.
But the cruelty of reality disappointed him again, more and more places in the west city wall were occupied, and the colorful city walls, the bloodstained city walls, and the corpses of the city walls all told the cruelty of war.
"General, send troops for help. ”
The general defending the city hurriedly shouted, although there will be punishment for asking for support, but it is better than losing the dock fort and beheading it!
But apparently it was too late, and the soldiers seeking reinforcements were beheaded before they could go out, and the western wall was completely occupied, followed by the eastern, southern, and northern walls.
The Gong's flag on the dock fort was once again replaced with the Tang military flag, swinging in the wind.
What followed was street fighting and hand-to-hand combat, but all ended in failure, and tens of thousands of corpses lay in the entire dock fort.
At last the general of the city was forced to a granary, and behind him were thousands of troops, all of them sad and miserable, and the hands holding their weapons were trembling.
"Put down your weapons, don't kill those who surrender!"
Zhao Yun said loudly, causing many Gong clan troops to hesitate, not knowing whether to surrender or continue to resist, surrender can save a life, but resistance is only a dead end.
Ants are reluctant to survive, let alone these people, but the strict military discipline and loyalty to the Gong clan make them hesitate again and again.
"The resistance is ineffective, let's put down our weapons and surrender!" Seeing this, the general defending the city said helplessly.
This sentence seemed to play a decisive role, and the hesitant army finally put down its weapons and surrendered, and in the end, only the defending generals and hundreds of soldiers did not surrender, and still fought with their troops.
"Do you still have to resist?" Zhao Yun asked calmly when he saw this.
"Haha! I, Chen Zhizhong, in the name of loyalty and righteousness, am the general of the Qingxiao Kingdom in life, and the war spirit of the Qingxiao Kingdom in death, and you don't want to take my life away in person. ”
The general defending the city laughed, with a tragic face, raised the war knife in his hand, and committed suicide, and the blood spurted out was sprinkled on the granary, like a loyal soul guarding.
And the soldiers who followed him did the same, and for a time a column of blood rose and fell to the ground, staining the grain red.
"General~"
Many of the soldiers who surrendered, kneeling on their knees, cried out in pain that today's scene will be unforgettable for their lives.
Even Zhao Yun was infected, although the other party's strength was not strong, but that loyalty was singable and crying, worthy of people's respect, he used his behavior to interpret a sentence:
"If you don't fight well, you will defend the city, if you don't defend the city, you will fight in the streets, you will not be able to fight in the streets, you will be short-connected, you will kill yourself!"
Such loyal people, although there are in the world, but there are not many! And the people lying in front of them have been delayed by the Gong royal family, and heroes are often there, but Bole is in short supply.
"Order, burn the grain and grass!"
The time of the war was pressing, and Zhao Yun didn't think much about it, so he gave the order to retreat with the army.
Soon the fire burned, burning more than 100,000 loads of grain and grass in the dock fort, which was an important supply for the Gong army, once burned, the Gong army would face a food shortage crisis, until this time, the Gong army outside the grain and grass did not know at all.
Knowing that in the evening, the army transporting supplies had not yet arrived, and they suddenly woke up to the fact that the grain and grass in the rear were estimated to be more auspicious.
"What a trick to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle! It seems that it is forcing us to go to a decisive battle! The order is passed down, the news of the grain and grass being burned is concealed, and the army is actively preparing for war to improve the morale of the army!"
When the ancestor of the Gong clan heard the return of Gong Xuanwu and Gong Xuanzhi, he said calmly, making the hot air cold.
"Obey the Ancestor!"
After half a ring, Gong Xuanwu and Gong Xuanzhi went out worriedly.
