The Tang army's attack continued until the evening, and Li Yuanba did not wait for Li Ji's order to attack the city from beginning to end.
In Li Ji's view, the defenders on the head of the city have strong fighting spirit, full of fighting spirit, dense arrows, and rolling stones, and it is not easy to break through the gate of Jixian County.
Now Li Yuanba has become the spiritual symbol of the Tang Army, if he can't smash open the gate of Jixian County in one go, it will affect the morale of the whole army, and destroy the myth that Li Yuanba is invincible and invincible, so Li Jicai coaxed Li Yuanba and did not let him go out for a long time.
When the spirit and physical strength of the defenders in the city are almost exhausted, the arrows are sparse, and the rolling stones and trees are exhausted, and then send Li Yuanba out of the horse, he will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort, and the horse will succeed, knocking on the door of Jixian, the first important town in the north, in one fell swoop.
"I'm going to attack the city, when will the governor let me attack the city, the king is impatient?"
As a guy with an intelligence of only 13, Li Yuanba naturally didn't understand Li Ji's good intentions, let alone what the significance of Li Ji's "god-making movement" was, and he was clamoring to attack the city from early in the morning. was coaxed down by Li Ji thinking of a way, and finally sent a few clever soldiers to take Li Yuanba to catch crickets in the valley field more than ten miles north of Jixian County, and coaxed this ancestor down.
In the morning, the Tang army's offensive was more fierce, and five or six thousand people were killed under the city of Jixian County, and the Gongsun army relied on the high walls of the city, and the casualties were about more than 1,000.
In the afternoon, the offensive of the Tang army was thunderous and rainy, and it had been firing at the defenders at the head of the city, and only the heavily armored soldiers tried to climb a few times, and after paying the price of more than a thousand people, the sky became dark.
After dark, Li Ji ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and Li Siye led more than 60,000 Tang troops after the bloody battle to withdraw to the camp, eat and sleep, and fight again tomorrow.
Withstanding the onslaught of the Tang army on the first day, Gongsun Zhan breathed a sigh of relief and ordered Tian Yu, Luo Cheng, and Gongsun Fan to lead 18,000 men and horses to defend the city, and the others went down to the city wall to rest, and then went to the city to defend after dawn, recuperate, and take turns to fight.
Wang Bodang led the 10,000 crossbowmen who harassed last night, plus the 20,000 horses who sat in the camp during the day made a comeback, shouting and attacking Jixian County.
Hearing that the Tang army sent more soldiers and horses tonight, and the fierce offensive was not inferior to that of the day, Gongsun Chan was very angry, so he had to personally bring the 8,000 soldiers who had just been withdrawn from the city wall to re-ascend the city wall, and fought to the death with Luo Cheng and Tian Yu to defend the defense together.
The fighting lasted from evening to early morning, and at dawn Wang Bodang led his troops to retreat, and the Gongsun army in the city fought fiercely for two nights and a day, and many people were already tired.
Ran Min and Gongsun Xu led the fresh army that had rested all night on the city wall to rotate, but due to the small number of troops, they could only withdraw some of the soldiers, and more than 10,000 people had to shake their spirits and continue to fight day and night.
"The Tang army's strength advantage is too great, and the day and night wheel battle makes our army a little unbearable, so we can call the people to climb the city wall to help defend," Tian Yu, who was about to take the soldiers and horses down the city wall to rest, proposed to Gongsun Zhan.
"Well, the country makes sense," Gongsun Chan agreed, and instructed his son Gongsun to continue, "You lead a thousand men and horses to recruit strong men to climb the city wall to defend, whether it is a large scholar or a poor people, you must contribute money and efforts, whoever dares to steal and play tricks will be punished severely."
Finally, there is no need to fight to the death on the city wall, Gongsun Xu is happy in his heart, and he has a fair and honest excuse to slam the door door from house to house, just to take the opportunity to tease the Miss Lu family who he saw a few days ago.
This little beauty's father is a big trader selling cloth, and he is also a native of Jixian County, so he didn't even buy his own account, and today he just took the opportunity to make the Lu family suffer a little "Obey my father's orders," Gongsun continued to smile and leave.
Tian Yu frowned, looking worried.
Tian Yu has also heard of the virtue of Gongsun Zhan's son, and he is even worse than Yuan Shao's son.
What's more, although Gongsun Chan treats the soldiers well, he is a bit mean and arrogant to the people, resulting in his average reputation in the eyes of the people, and it is really unknown whether the people will work for Gongsun Chan at this critical moment.
If the people are recruited with national righteousness, propaganda to fight against foreign races, one is prosperous, one is lost, Jixian can be defended, the people will be safe and sound, if Jixian County is broken, the people will be catastrophic, calmly persuade the people, maybe be able to recruit tens of thousands of strong men to the city to assist in defense.
If you use forceful means, if you don't get it right, it will arouse the hatred of the past in the hearts of the people, which is counterproductive.
"My lord, it is not easy to gather the people to assist in the defense, and the people are also afraid of death, and they are even more afraid that the Tang army will retaliate against them after breaking the city.
Therefore, we can only persuade each other softly, and we must not add up evil words.
Childe is young, the last general is afraid that he will make a mistake, and the last general will not go to rest, let me go to recruit people to the city for Gongzi to assist in defense" Tian Yu bowed to Gongsun Zhan and made a sincere request.
Gongsun Chan refused: "The country has made you worry too much, Xu'er is twenty years old this year, if you can't even do this thing, what else can you do, and then blindly beg the people, but you will think that we are cowardly, soft and hard, hard and soft, so that the people can honestly contribute to their lives."
Your words are the opinion of scholars, and it is not enough to take them, go down and rest, and come to guard the city in the evening."
Tian Yu was helpless, so he could only sigh in his heart, and went down to the city to rest unhappy.
Just after Tian Yu left, Li Ji and Li Siye once again led more than 60,000 Tang troops who had rested all night and recuperated to make a comeback, carrying cloud ladders and launching an attack on Jixian County.
For a while, the horn whimpered, and arrows rained down.
More than 20,000 households closed their doors and closed their windows, lest they cause trouble.
The streets are lined with shops that close their doors, and the streets are empty, except for wild dogs, barking and foraging for food.
"On the order of General Gongsun, Zhuang Ding was recruited to defend the city wall, according to the head, one out of every five people.
If you dare to prevaricate and squeak, steal and play tricks, you will not be forgiven" Gongsun Xu led a thousand soldiers to pull the banner as a tiger skin, smashing the door from house to house, and recruiting the people to climb the city wall to help defend.
Regardless of men, women, young and old, from white-haired old women to swaddling babies, all of them forcibly recruited people to climb the city wall to assist in defense in accordance with the law of five dings and one levy.
At the beginning, the people who were recruited did not have a good impression of Gongsun Zhan, so they refused to work for Gongsun Zhan and his son, which provoked Gongsun Xu to be furious, and evil was born in his guts, and anger rose from his heart.
He then pulled out his knife and slaughtered three innocent families with his own hands, from the 60-year-old man to the 3-year-old girl, all of whom were stabbed to death, and ordered his own soldiers to carry the corpse to recruit the strong men.
Under the strong pressure of Gongsun Xu, the people who were smashed open could only follow the requirements, take one or several out of five to go to the street, and organize them into the team of strong men, and follow Gongsun Bing to the city wall to assist in the defense.
However, after more than an hour of hard work, Gongsun Xu requisitioned more than 3,000 strong men, and couldn't help but be proud: "Hehe, I heard that after I left, Tian Yu slandered me in front of my father and said that I should persuade the people with good words, it is really a scholar's opinion, if you want to achieve great things, you have to be as decisive as me, before dark, I can at least transfer 20,000 strong men to assist in defense." ” Gongsun Xu took his own soldiers around and around to the door of the cloth seller surnamed Lu, and ordered his soldiers to smash the door.
The news that Gongsun Zhan recruited Zhuang Ding to go to the city to assist in the defense has spread widely, and when he heard that Gongsun continued to slaughter three households and killed more than a dozen people, the Lu family did not dare to be careless.
Including his own wives and concubines, a total of eighteen people, and ten maidservants, twelve family members, according to one of the five dings, eight strong men need to be dispatched to the city to assist in the defense, so Lu Yuanwai consciously arranged eight family members to prepare.
Unexpectedly, after Gongsun continued to call to open the door, he actually changed the hexagram: "According to the ratio of three dings to one, your Lu family has a total of forty people, and you need to send thirteen people to defend the city." ” "Didn't Childe say that according to the ratio of one out of five" Lu Yuanwai was angry and anxious, pulling Gongsun Xu's sleeve to reason.
Gongsun Xu snorted coldly: "At the beginning, it was five to draw one, but now there is no one to draw, so Ben will change his decision." ” "You, you are a personal vendetta of the communiqué, and you will repay it" Lu Yuanwai pointed at Gongsun Xu's nose and scolded, "Be careful that the water can carry the boat and overturn the boat, are you trying to force the officials to force the people to rebel?"
"Listen to the soldiers, this Lu Yuanwai is going to fornicate with Tang Kou, and he himself admits it" Gongsun Xu drew his sword in his hand and shouted left and right, "Come on, take down all the people of the Lu family and throw them into prison" With Gongsun Xu's order, one hundred and ten soldiers rushed forward and arrested all the masters and servants of the Lu family.

And Gongsun Xu hugged Miss Lu Jia, who was thinking about it for a long time: "Lu Cuilian, I heard that you are a good cook, follow me to the barracks to cook for the soldiers."
Miss Lu wanted to struggle to resist, but was stopped by Gongsun Xu and carried up, stretched out her palm to cover her mouth, strode out of the Lu family, and ran to her own military camp.
For a while, the master and servant of the Lu family cried and howled, and the scolding was everywhere, and Gongsun Xu's soldiers were furious, wielding knives and killing several people in a row, which suppressed the cry of the Lu family.
It's just that Gongsun continued to kill people and rob the people's daughters like a wildfire spring breeze, which soon spread in Jixian County, and the anger in the hearts of the people was like a volcano about to erupt, and they were suppressed in their hearts.
Under the strong means of Gongsun Xu, at least more than 10,000 people were summoned to the head of the city to assist in the defense in the morning, helping to transport arrows, rolling stones, wood and other materials, which greatly reduced the pressure on the defenders.
This made Gongsun Chan very satisfied with his son's efficiency, and praised him: "Hehe, Tian Yu looks down on my son, Xu'er has done this beautifully, and he can finally make my father proud of him." t1706231537:
