Chapter 98: Heart-Attacking
Early morning.
The sky was still only a little white, only a ray of sunlight began to shine on the earth, and everything seemed very peaceful.
But the guards of Lu County have finally reached the time of shift, they have been keeping watch all night, and now it is finally time for them to rest.
At this time, a chief said to Qin Hao, who had the highest official rank among them: "Old Qin, do you say that General Gongsun can hold the remaining two counties this time?"
Whether it is Qin Hao or this chief, they are already veterans for more than five years, so they usually dare to say some taboo things in the army.
Qin Hao's face sank, and he just wanted to answer his long-time assistant, but he found a large number of soldiers looking over intentionally or unintentionally, and Qin Hao knew that they were also concerned about this issue.
So, I had to say with an unhappy face: "What do you say? Since the conquest of General Gongsun, except for the Battle of Jieqiao in the past, the others have basically won all battles, and when are you afraid of a Yanhou who fled to Liaodong. ”
The chief didn't see Qin Hao's face, but he still didn't have the slightest fear, and said: "However, now that General Gongsun still has two counties left, the Marquis of Yan claims to have an army of 200,000, and there is no loss from Liaodong to Yuyang."
At this time, even the small soldier on one side added: "Yes, it is said that at that time, Shanggu and Daijun both surrendered directly to Yanhou, and there was no resistance at all."
Qin Hao's face changed suddenly, and he just wanted to scold them and let them defend the city with peace of mind, but when he saw the firm eyes of the chief and the soldiers, he also sighed helplessly.
In a burst of propaganda by Xuanmiwei, Gongsun Zhan was in order to take back the soldiers and horses to Zhuocheng, but it turned out that Liu He took 200,000 soldiers and horses and ran directly to Shanggu and Daijun, and then the two counties were forced to surrender under pressure.
And this rumor has always remained among the Yuyang soldiers, Gongsun Yue and they don't know at all, only some people below the head know about it, and they don't know the situation either, so no one stabilizes the army's morale at all.
This is Li Ru's plan to attack the heart, in the face of Liu He's lack of troops, he can only make the enemy worry and fear, so that he can take Youzhou.
Of course, Li Ru is not just in Yuyang, and he is not in Zhuo County, which Gongsun Zan guards, that is, because of the problems of Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan.
Both of them are just ordinary goods, if it weren't for the fact that they were Gongsun Zhan's younger brothers, I am afraid they would only be the ability of a school captain.
Gongsun Chan asked the two of them to lead an army of 50,000 and handed over such an important Yuyang County to them, but now there are no generals under Gongsun Chan who can be named.
At this time, just when Qin Hao gave up stabilizing them and letting them rest well in the afternoon, suddenly, the soldiers at the city gate shouted: "Look, what is that?"
When Qin Hao heard the soldier's shouting, his whole body trembled, and he hurriedly ran to the city tower, looking into the distance, wanting to know what the soldier was shouting.
I saw that a burst of yellow sand was flying, and after a while, the sound of the hooves of the iron horse's horse was heard in the distance, and the sound was very loud, which made people hear it and beat their hearts.
Qin Hao, as a veteran of Youzhou, is also very experienced, and he knew at a glance that this was a cavalry attack, and now I am afraid that the army under the command of Yan Hou is coming.
"Quick, go and tell the general, Yanhou's army is coming." Qin Hao saw that the soldiers hadn't reacted yet, so he hurriedly yelled at them, completely waking up the soldiers in Lu County.
It was early in the morning, everything was in a drowsiness, and the defenders were also dazed, but when they heard Qin Hao's roar, the defenders of Luxian County suddenly woke up.
Soon, the captain of the garrison who was appointed by Gongsun Fan hurriedly ran over, just glanced at it, and instantly judged that this was Yanhou's soldiers and horses, and quickly called someone to tell Gongsun Fan.
Although Gongsun Fan said that he had no ability, when he heard such a situation, he hurriedly got up from the warm quilt, put on his clothes, and hurried to the city tower.
"What's the situation?"
As soon as Gongsun Fan came to the city gate, he looked at Qin Hao, he knew that Qin Hao, although he was a Dubo, not even a captain, but his ability was stronger than that of a captain, even higher than himself.
At the beginning, it was just when he was greedy for money, this Qin Hao still wanted to block his way to get rich, and he was demoted to the petty official position of Dubo.
From that time on, this Qin Hao didn't have the ability to stop himself, but Gongsun Fan still knew that the critical moment still depended on him.
Qin Hao was also relieved when he heard Gongsun Fan ask for his opinion, he was afraid that Gongsun Fan had no one in his eyes, he was incapable, and he didn't listen to the soldiers.
"My lord, looking at this, I'm afraid that Yanhou's soldiers and horses want to attack Lu County." Qin Hao didn't dare to say anything, and faced Gongsun Fan, he hurriedly said.
Gongsun Fan, as the younger brother of Gongsun Zhan, his martial arts are not low, and his face is very ugly when he looks at the army that is already a few hundred meters away from Lu County.
With such a military appearance, Gongsun Fan had only seen it in front of Bai Ma Yicong and the first camp that defeated Gongsun Zhan, and now that he had to face such an enemy, he couldn't help but feel scared in his heart.
Qin Hao didn't have the slightest fear, his eyes looked at the greedy wolf army under the city gate, and said to Gongsun Fan: "General, please also let the army be ready for battle, let the archers prepare, and once they attack, give the order to release arrows."
When Gongsun Fan heard Qin Hao's voice, he also had a slight confidence, thinking that in the current Lu County, the city defense equipment was very rich, and there were 25,000 soldiers and horses, so he was even more confident.
"Hurry up and let the soldiers prepare, as long as they dare to reach the range of the bow and arrow, they can release the arrows directly, without giving an order." Gongsun Fan had confidence and was also well-directed, and arranged for the captain beside him.
Even if Gongsun Fan didn't have any ability, but Gongsun Chan asked him to guard Lu County, first, there was no general to send, so he had to let him play, after all, he was also his younger brother.
The second is that Gongsun Fan is also a person who has experienced a hundred battles and has commanded many wars, and the most fortunate thing is that the war commanded by Gongsun Fan has not been defeated, at most it is the loss of some soldiers and horses.
Therefore, Gongsun Chan let Gongsun Fan guard Lu County, but this is also Gongsun Fan's luck is very good, and he did not meet some masters of the art of war.
However, Gongsun Fan has been in Youzhou and has never encountered any powerful generals at all, except for foreign races, the only enemies are Liu Yu and the Yellow Turban Army.
But Liu Yu didn't use the art of war and mastered the army at all, and the Yellow Turban Army was also some ordinary people, and the main force was not in Youzhou, so it was normal that he didn't encounter it.
And the greedy wolf army under the city gate is the famous beggar army and 10,000 soldiers and horses, Ran Min took the beggar army on war horses, came to the gate of Luxian County, and stopped.
Ran Min also looked at Luxian, looked puzzled, and said to the beggar brothers beside him: "I really don't know, what is the use of General Wen asking me to come, and not letting me attack the city."
When the soldiers of the begging army heard the commander say this, they scratched their heads and said with a wry smile: "General, when the general is arranged, he naturally has his reasons, so we can wait patiently."
Ran Min also patted the back of the soldier's head and laughed: "You kid, you have a point, I heard about the general's arrangement."
