The cold wind howled, like weeping, and the sound of the trumpet was long, like the sound of choking was endless.
The battle of Liaoyang City finally came to an end in the light of fire and smoke, leaving mountains of bones piled up inside and outside the city.
This battle was the most tragic battle in the history of Liaodong.
The entire Liaoyang City was filled with thick smoke and a strong smell of barbecue, and the smoke made the soldiers and civilians in the city unable to open their eyes, but the smell of barbecue was disgusting, because everyone knew the source of the smell of barbecue.
Fortunately, in the next few days, it rained heavily for two or three days in Liaodong, which has always rained little in winter, to eliminate the smoke and smell of barbecue that were scattered everywhere.
In this battle, Gongsun Bai burned down 14 Liaoyang cities, leaving tens of thousands of people without their residences.
However, fortunately, a large amount of money and grain and tens of thousands of camp tents were seized that Gongsun Du did not have time to take with him when he retreated, which were enough for the people to live temporarily, and the seized money and food were enough for their living needs, freeing up time to rebuild their homes.
In this battle, Gongsun Du's main force was lost, of which more than 30,000 people died, most of them were burned alive in the fire, and thousands of people died under the charge and crossbow arrows of the iron cavalry, and 30,000 people were captured, and Gongsun Du's 70,000 army finally escaped more than 10,000 cavalry.
Gongsun Bai's armor has grown to 201235, but Gongsun Du seems to have fallen into the end of the road, and the defenders in Xiangping are only more than 20,000 people.
Moreover, the battle of Liaoyang City soon spread all over Liaodong, and seeing that Gongsun Du was already in decline, under the call of Li Min.
There was turmoil in the entire Xuansu County.
Goguryeo City County Commander, and Li Min has a very close personal relationship.
Seeing that Gongsun Du was gone, coupled with the support of the scholars in the county.
Openly announced that he would break away from the jurisdiction of Gongsun Du and fall under the command of Liu Yu, the Mu of Youzhou.
Houcheng and Gaoxiancheng, the county order was forced by the local nobles to be strong, and they had to announce that they would no longer accept the jurisdiction of Gongsun Du.
In the entire Xuansu County, only Xigaima, which is close to the Goguryeo settlement, has not yet made obvious moves, and the rest all openly support Gongsun Bai, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury for Gongsun Du, whose original jurisdiction is already in the hands of Gongsun Bai.
But.
He still has most of Liaodong County and Lelang County in his hands, and he still has the strength to fight, provided that Gongsun Bai gives him a chance to breathe.
Gongsun Du knows this, and Gongsun Bai also knows it.
However, Gongsun Bai could not rush to attack Xiangping City, because the people in Liaoyang City and more than 30,000 captives were not easy to appease, so they rushed to attack Xiangping City, and the result was inevitably a fire in the backyard.
Gongsun Bai didn't have time to ask Liu Yu for instructions, so he pretended to pass on Liu Yu's order and appointed Li Min as the Taishou of Xuansu County.
With Li Min's reputation, the great help of Yang Lu and other officials, and the support of the families in Xuanwu County, coupled with his more than 80 political talents, Xuanwu County should be able to govern Xuanwu County easily.
After a few days.
The people of Liaoyang City were fortunate to see the "immortal art" displayed by Gongsun Bai.
Gongsun Bai spent 60,000 soldiers to expand the material warehouse by 300 blocks, plus the basic storehouse, a total of 400 blocks, which can hold 400,000 kilograms of wood.
When the round timbers scattered from the front of Gongsun Bai.
When they were neatly stacked at the gates, all the people were boiling.
They all bowed down reverently, worshiping them like gods.
Piles of wood.
Saving the people in the city the pain of logging, processing and transportation, Gongsun Bai only made a few trips, and prepared timber for the rebuilding of the houses for those who had lost their houses, plus the supply of food and tents, and finally completely quelled the resentment in the hearts of the people.
In fact, although Gongsun Du was brutal, it was only brutal to some scholars and scholars, and for those grassroots people, there was no dislike for Gongsun Du, on the contrary, Gongsun Du still did a lot of practical things in Liaodong.
If Gongsun Bai wants to rule Liaodong, it is naturally a good thing to get the support of the Liaodong scholars, but if he can get the support of the people again, he will inevitably be invincible.
In addition to the pacification of the people, the placement of nearly 40,000 captives was also a big problem, and the number of prisoners was already five times that of the main army of Gongsun Baibuqu.
For more than 40,000 captives, Gongsun Bai screened and classified them layer by layer.
Those prisoners, who, after propaganda and agitation, voluntarily joined his command, with a loyalty of less than 10 to Gongsun and a loyalty to themselves rising to more than 40, were incorporated into the Taiping Army, totaling about 15,000 infantry and horse troops, under the command of Zhang He, who came from Wangping.
In this way, the strength of the Taiping army has expanded to more than 20,000 people, including more than 18,000 in Liaodong.
Most of the people who are loyal to Gongsun are below 40 and their loyalty to themselves is also about 40, they are organized into private husbands, and Tian Yu and Bingyuan are responsible for the jurisdiction, and they make every effort to rebuild the burned houses in Liaoyang City, and once the houses are built, they will distribute money and grain and repatriate them to their hometowns, about 20,000 people.
Those who are really loyal to Gongsun Du, but there are only one or two thousand people, and they are naturally "calm" by Gongsun Bai who are still locked in prison.
After stabilizing the situation in Liaoyang City, Gongsun Bai handed over all the political affairs in the city to Tian Yu and Bing Yuan, and began to plan the battle to attack Xiangping.
The total number of Gongsun Bai's direct troops in Liaodong has reached 25,000, including more than 10,000 cavalry, and although the Gongsun Du army in Xiangping City is greatly damaged, there are still more than 20,000 people.
With a numerical advantage of more than 5,000 people, coupled with the need to keep troops and horses to stabilize order in Liaoyang City, the slight numerical advantage was simply not enough to make up for the disadvantage of the siege city compared to the defense of the city.
However, Gongsun Bai must take advantage of the victory to pursue and capture Xiangping in one go, otherwise once Gongsun Du recovers his vitality, it is unknown who will die in the end, especially since Gongsun Du is still very likely to get the support of the Goguryeo people and Fuyu people in the west, the situation will be more delicate.
Xiangping City, North Gate.
Gongsun Du stood on the city tower with his head held high, looking at Gongsun Baijun under the city in a daze, he had always been arrogant, but his expression became a little depressed and lonely.
For many years, he has been the myth of Liaodong, the undefeated god of war.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The real king of Liaodong, so much so that he didn't even pay attention to Cao Cao, the first hero of the Three Kingdoms in history.
Not to mention Gongsun Chan.
For that Gongsun Zhan, he has never been cold. thinks that this person is just a pure brave man, and he hasn't even done it with the Wuhuan people of the three counties, unlike his eloquent strategy, Dingwuhuan, Ping Goguryeo, Safu Yu, and the powerful Wa Kingdom, and recruiting talents, setting up a museum to open a school, recruiting displaced people, and governing the entire Liaodong land in a neat and orderly manner.
However.
In just two months, the myth of his invincibility was shattered by Gongsun Zhan's eighteen-year-old son, and this time it was almost a catastrophic blow, and his army of 100,000 was beaten to only 20,000.
Such a great victory only occurred when he pushed the Goguryeo people sideways, and now he was pushed sideways by the son of Gongsun Chan in his own territory.
What made him even more unacceptable was that Gongsun Bai was now only 20,000 people, and he dared to lead an army to attack the largest city in Liaodong, which had a garrison of 20,000 troops.
The king of Liaodong half a month ago has now become like a water dog, chased by the son of Gongsun Zhan and blocked in Xiangping City.
He looked at the tightly arrayed and murderous company camp under the city. couldn't help but admire: "The young man is promising, Gongsun Chan has a son like this, what more can the husband ask for" The eldest son beside him, Gongsun Huang, listened unpleasantly.
But he was speechless, and only said slowly after a long time: "My father has sent a message to invite the Goguryeo people and the Buyeo people to come to help.
At that time, the internal and external attacks, the child is willing to take the head of Gongsun Bai. ” The second son, Gongsun Gong.
But his face was full of doubts: "Now that my father's situation is much worse than before, I don't know if the Goguryeo people and the rest of the husband will abide by the previous promise and obey my father's dispatch." ” Gongsun Du laughed coldly: "If other people attack, maybe the Goguryeo people and the rest of the people will make trouble, but now it is Gongsun Bai, and he will come."
In the past, Gongsun Chan was already ruthless in treating people of different races, but in Gongsun Bai, he was better than the blue, and his cruelty towards foreign races has reached an outrageous level, far better than Gongsun Zhan.
If they dare not come, once Gongsun Bai occupies Liaodong, the fate of the Wuhuan people and the Xianbei people will be their end.
Therefore, Goguryeo and Fuyu will not only come, but also pour the strength of the whole clan to come, and the soldiers of the two clans will not be less than 50,000.
This time, I want to see how Gongsun Bai can resist the two-sided attack of the 70,000-strong army."
The father and son raised their heads together and looked at the city, their expressions becoming calm and even contemptuous.
After a long time, Gongsun Du Huo Ran turned around and shouted in a deep voice.
"The generals of the battalions took turns to go up to the city to defend it, and each gate kept at least a thousand men guarding the city, and the same was true of the night guards; Set up cavalry to garrison the four cities, one door is saved, immediately fly to report to the government, the official will divide the troops to rescue; Rolling wood and stones, fire oil and gold juice, distributed in four cities, every hundred steps under the city wall, bury a large urn, listen to the movements of the Yan army, in case the enemy rats steal the hole, Gongsun Bai Xiaoer has always liked to attack the city with a well, to Lao Tzu at any time to pay attention to the movement outside the city, the city must be lit at night, once you see the well is dispatched, immediately destroy it with a trebuchet, and must not let it approach" Gongsun Du's decrees were promulgated in an orderly manner, and the generals from all walks of life took orders one after another.
Under Xiangping City, Guo Jia sat on a horse weakly, looking at the city.
Gongsun Bai gave him a death order, when to come up with a clever plan to break the city, when to give him wine to drink, he hadn't drunk for five or six days, and the whole person seemed to be settled.
Xiangping City is as high as five zhang, as wide as five or six zhang, and there are two or three zhang wide and one zhang deep moat, the rolling stones and sassholes on the head of the city are piled up like a mountain, and there are strong bows and crossbows, trebuchets, and fierce fire oil and gold juice, and the remaining Liaodong soldiers in the city are the elite of the Liaodong army.
The ancients said that five would attack it and ten would besiege it, and now the number of troops besieging the city is the same as the number of troops defending the city, if there is no magic plan, it is almost impossible to break the city.
Guo Jia let out a long sigh, his brows twisted into a knot, and unconsciously the wine worm came up again, and his heart itched very hard, but Gongsun Bai's ruthless stubble had already put down his words, and there was no plan to break the city, and the guards who guarded the wine did not dare to let him take the wine when they were killed.
The days in winter are particularly short, and before you know it, the red sun is gradually sinking in the west, dragging Guo Jia's shadow to the elders, and the fragrance of dinner is already wafting behind him.
Guo Jia took a deep breath and sniffed, slowly raised his head, looked at the city head with great resentment, sighed helplessly, and had to urge the horses under his crotch to go back to the camp with no mercy.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, his eyes lit up, and then he burst out laughing.
Hahaha He laughed like a dog, and almost danced on horseback.
At this moment, a horse galloped over and shouted loudly: "Military Division, Ningxiang Hou is urgent, please go to the Chinese army's big tent quickly." ” Guo Jia's heart sank, could there be something big happening, and hurriedly urged the horse under his crotch, and the horse flew like a fly, and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Gongsun Bai, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and Zhang He and other generals had been waiting for a long time, and their expressions were very serious.
Guo Jia ran in leisurely and saluted Gongsun Bai, who nodded and motioned for him to sit down.
Guo Jia sat down on the left side of Gongsun Bai, looked at his desk, frowned slightly, and glanced at the desk of Gongsun Bai, his face changed instantly: "Why am I the only one who has no wine?"
All the generals snickered silently, and Gongsun Bai's eyes widened: "The plan to break the city can be thought of" Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's still in the making." ” Gongsun Bai said in a deep voice: "The wine of filial piety is also brewing. ” After speaking, he picked up the wine bottle in front of him, drank it slowly, deliberately made a gurgling sound, and smacked his lips with relish when he was finished, seeing that Guo Jia's eyes were straight.
Gongsun Bai put down the wine bottle, grabbed a secret letter from the case, threw it to Guo Jia, his expression turned back to solemnity, and said coldly: "If you don't come up with a strategy to break the city as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be no time to break the city.
At that time, the two armies will be attacked, and the strength of the troops will be several times that of us, and there will be no other way except for defeat and retreat.
Once Gongsun Du gets a respite and recovers, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to make achievements in the land of Liaodong.
And if all our army is detained in the land of Liaodong, the Wuhuan people of the three counties will inevitably have different intentions, and the situation in Xianbei in the north is still unpredictable. ” There is still a sentence not to say, after all, the land of the three counties is not as fertile as Liaodong, and it is difficult to support too many troops, only the Great Northern Wilderness of Liaodong can become his Great Northern Warehouse, support him to feed enough troops, and compete in the world in the future.
Guo Jia blinked, and smiled: "A mere doomed Gongsun Du, plus two unsuccessful alien races, but the ear of the chicken, the dog's ear, how can he stop the pace of the lord Although the lord's strength is small, it is enough to be ten with one, and the armor is excellent to defeat the enemy, plus there is immortal art, although there are millions of enemy troops, what is there to fear?"
Gongsun Bai sneered: "Don't come to this set of empty heads, if you want to drink, just tell Lao Tzu the key points." ” Guo Jia stood up and talked about his plan like this for a while, and the eyes of the people who heard it brightened.
Gongsun Bai laughed and shouted: "Come on, bring wine to Lao Tzu and pour him to death" S: Caven's taste is not good, I have been stuck for two nights, so much to see if I can recover some inspiration at night
