Chapter 22: The Two-Day Covenant


Gaocheng, county.

The once prosperous county is now a hell In the afternoon, after three consecutive days of tens of thousands of people coming forward and following the attack from all sides, the defenders of the Han army in Gaocheng were outnumbered, Gaocheng ordered Zhang Yi to die in battle, more than 1,000 defenders suffered most of the casualties, and the rest fled Groups of Yellow Turban soldiers poured into the county like a tide, looting property, women, killing people if they disagreed, and even setting fire to houses, and the entire Gaocheng fell into a bloody storm.

Compared with murder and arson, thousands of little ladies were not so noticeable, after all, in that distant ancient time, especially in such troubled times, chastity was not so important.

"God kill, you God kill" An old woman sat in her yard crying and grabbed the ground, "You snatched the only half bag of millet at home, but how can we live, you who have suffered a thousand knives, you can't die well" Not far away, a sturdy young man was sitting on the threshold and crying.

Not far from the young man, there was an old man with a gray beard, and the old man was already so angry that he only had half a breath left.

In the distance, a group of rebels stormed into a house.

Then the yard sounded the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping, a rebel in order to chase a hen, even jumped over three courtyard walls in a row, and walked out of the yard next to the strong guy, before leaving also glared at the strong guy viciously, the guy saw the long sword hanging from the waist of the rebel, and was immediately frightened and silent.

In the history books of later generations, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was a struggle of peasants against the landlord class, and it was a just war, but the current Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are not, although they are unable to live happily before resisting, but their behavior is a naked mob behavior.

Even after many years, the millions of Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou surrendered to Cao Cao unconditionally, the Qingzhou Army still plundered the villagers everywhere during the Battle of Wancheng, and was killed by Yu Ban.

Outside the county, Gongsun continued to stand on his horse, and behind him, there were 3,000 people neatly arranged.

Gongsun Bai, who was behind him, looked at the skyrocketing fire in the city and sighed faintly.

Originally, he was full of sympathy for these overwhelmed Yellow Turban Army who revolted, but now he completely subverted his cognition, so he would not feel too much guilt when he killed these mobs.

Gongsun continued to glance at the dense defenders on the city tower, and gasped, the defenders on the city tower alone are thousands, although the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army is low, the number of millions of troops is not covered.

Gaocheng is also a medium-sized city, the city wall is more than four zhang high, and the width should be three zhang, otherwise there are not so many people standing.

Fortunately, the originally wide and deep moat had been filled with earth and stones by the Yellow Turban Army, and the suspension bridge that had been hung high was also burned down.

But even so, it is still a fortified city.

In any case, if the city is forcibly attacked, the casualties of the siege will definitely be much higher than the casualties of the defenders, although the Beiping army has strong crossbows and bows, and is well-equipped, but if it is like the Yellow Turban Army pushing a simple wooden ladder to forcibly attack the city, with the number of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in the city, I am afraid that Gongsun Zhan's 20,000 people are all planted under this city, and they may not be able to capture Gaocheng.

"The ladder must be suppressed with a strong crossbow, and the ladder must be used to attack the city in order to reduce the loss, otherwise the city will be difficult to break."

Gongsun continued to mutter.

He turned his gaze behind him, and then fell on Gongsun Bai, only to see that the thing was in a trance, not knowing what he was thinking.

I couldn't help but light up in my eyes.

This has been crushing me many times lately, and this time I have to make him suffer.

He shouted in a deep voice: "Gongsun Bai" Gongsun Bai was thinking about killing the enemy and earning soldiers' coins, when he was suddenly drunk by him, he couldn't help but be startled, raised his head and glanced at Gongsun Xu angrily, rolled his eyes, and replied lazily: "What's the matter?"

Gongsun Xu was angry when he heard it, as a subordinate, he didn't even have the consciousness of responding to a "last general", look at that splashy face, how to put his brother who is the boss in his eyes.

"Now that the high city has been destroyed by thieves, we must recapture the city, expel the thieves, and save the people in the city from dire straits."

"That's nature," Gongsun Bai replied.

Gongsun was interrupted halfway through his words, and his teeth itched with anger: "Don't interject about the high city and the thick walls, the thieves and soldiers, and the ladder cannot be broken, you can understand what I mean."

Gongsun Bai asked cautiously, "Brother is finished" Gongsun continued to say viciously: "Ben will ask you. ” Gongsun Bai sighed and said: "Don't give a hint after you finish speaking, the foolish brother understands what my brother means, Gaocheng naturally has thick walls, otherwise how can it be called Gaocheng."

As for the ladder, it must be needed, otherwise the soldiers will have to climb up the ladder, and the ladder will not be so high. ” He was drunk by Gongsun Xu just now, which made the whole person feel bad, and then he was very disgusted by Gongsun Xu's pretentious appearance, so he simply gaged.

"You" Gongsun continued to tremble with anger, but he was helpless, seeing that the soldiers behind him were watching the jokes, although he didn't dare to make a sound, but that look was like watching a good show, and he didn't feel even more angry.

He shouted angrily, "Gongsun Bai listens to orders" Gongsun Bai said lightly: "I'm listening" When Gongsun Xu heard this answer, he couldn't wait to strangle Gongsun Bai to death, and said angrily: "Our army is now in urgent need of cloud ladders to attack the city, and I hereby order you to build fifty cloud ladders within two days, otherwise the military law will deal with it." ” I'll take it, Nima is naked and wants to pit me, if it's the real Gongsun Bai, I'm afraid I don't even know what the cloud ladder looks like, and there are fifty planes, you should be a Chinese cabbage, and you can build fifty planes in three days Gongsun Bai sneered: "Okay, since that's the case, let's wait for our father to arrive to theorize."

I have no more than 100 people, all of them are sword soldiers, you asked more than 100 sword soldiers to build 50 ladders in two days, I want to see how my father evaluates. ” At the mention of Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Xu immediately softened, although his voice was still so high-pitched, his tone was obviously weakened, and he pointed to a dense forest two or three miles away in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "I will send a hundred craftsmen for you to send, the woods are dense there, and there is enough wood to make a ladder, you only need to be responsible for supervising the construction." ” Gongsun Bai sneered: "I haven't eaten pork, at least I've seen pigs walking."

Although I have never built a ladder, I know that even if a hundred craftsmen do not eat, drink, pull or scatter, and work day and night for twelve hours, they will not be able to build fifty ladders in two days. ” burst Yan Fei, the Marquis of Qu Jun behind him, couldn't help but sneer at his witty words, and the soldiers behind him were also suffocated.

Gongsun continued to say viciously: "Two days later, the team is about to arrive, you must complete the manufacturing within two days, otherwise the army will stay under the city for one more day, and it will cost another day of grain and grass." ” Gongsun rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "It's just fifty ladders, for this son, what's the difficulty, as long as the elder brother agrees to the foolish brother on a condition, don't say fifty ladders, even if it is a hundred ladders, the foolish brother can also build them." ” Gongsun Xu's eyes lit up: "What conditions, you said that as long as you can be the master, you can accept it." ” Gongsun Bai said: "As long as the elder brother promises the foolish brother, once the cloud ladder is completed as scheduled, then in this siege battle, the foolish brother and his subordinates can move freely and are not bound by the elder brother." ” Gongsun Xu's eyes lit up, and he laughed: "I would have promised you this condition, but what if I couldn't fulfill it?"

Gongsun Bai said lightly: "Let my brother dispose of it." ” Gongsun Xu felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, but his face suppressed excitement, and said calmly: "Brother Xian knows that there is no joke in the army. ” Gongsun Bai smiled and said, "It's better to set up a military order as evidence." ” The two hit it off, and immediately made a military order in black and white, and pressed their handprints.

The two of them each held a copy of the military order, put it in their hands, and their faces showed a look of successful conspiracy, looked at each other and laughed a few times, and slapped each other's palms, all without saying a word.

Looking at the expressions on the faces of the two of them, they seemed to think that the other party was a fool, and Wu Ming, Yan Fei and the others behind them were confused, and they felt that their IQ was not enough.

In the evening, Gongsun continued the big tent.

"Tell those craftsmen to slow down for my son, and if you do it fast, watch their heads."

"Eldest Prince, please rest assured, building fifty ladders in two days, even if they are all quiet, it will never be possible to complete it.

To build a ladder, you have to cut wood, you have to process wood, you have to assemble it, you have to fix it, and you can build 20 ladders in two days. ” "That cheap breed has a lot of tricks, maybe I don't know where there is a ready-made ladder, so in the past two days, I sent someone to keep an eye on my son, and as soon as there is any movement, report to me immediately."

"Whoa" A dark shadow flashed out of the tent.

In the big tent, the lights were bright, and Gongsun Xu sat in front of the desk, his face full of haze.

Although he knew that it was impossible to build fifty ladders in two days, he still felt uneasy in his heart, as if something was wrong.

"Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, that cheap seed can still become an immortal, and it can't be conjured up fifty cloud ladders for Lao Tzu."
