Chapter 589 Siege
,(click co)!
Xiangping City.
In the prefect's office's conference hall, Gongsun Du looked at the soldiers who had escaped with wide eyes and his hands and feet trembled constantly, half angry and half scared.
He couldn't understand even if he wanted to break his head. Why was the scumbag Cao Ang targeted him thousands of miles away from Liaodong and Yanzhou?
Therefore, the news sent by Yuan Shao's envoy did not attract his attention.
After all, he has no friendship with Yuan Shao. Who knows whether he is really kind or digging a hole for himself?
When summoning his subordinates to discuss, it was just a show for Yuan Shao.
Look, we are discussing solutions to deal with them, so we should pay enough attention to them.
Before the conclusion was reached, the black-robed army landed.
Now Liaodong is getting a little waxed.
Yuan Shao is really kind-hearted, isn’t he digging a hole?
Although the black-robed army came ashore, Gongsun Du was not very panicked.
His Gongsun family has been in Liaodong for many years and has never seen any situation.
Besides, Cao Ang only had a few broken ships, how much supplies can he transport after transporting troops? If you guard it for half a month, you will have to collapse first without hitting Cao Ang by yourself.
From the attack from the sea, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the present, I have not done this for many years.
After discussing with his subordinates, he immediately decided to send Liu Yi to attack the camp in the middle of the night, and to take the lead before he took advantage of the fact that Cao's army had just arrived and was unstable to make a decision.
But he never dreamed that Liu Yi was shocked to death by a few unidentified loud noises before he even saw the enemy.
That's the guy who wears his pants with him, and he's the number one general under him, and he's gone?
What made him even more distressed was the five thousand elite soldiers brought by Liu Yi. Those five thousand were the most elite troops under his command. He had never been afraid of fighting Wuhuan, and now he has no more.
Although he felt distressed, he could only accept the reality and summon his subordinates to discuss strategies to respond to the enemy.
After discussing for a long time, I still decided to stay in the same plan, and I will be in trouble with Cao's army.
After persisting for half a month, Cao's army naturally retreated after using up his supplies.
With this idea, he sent a messenger to order the troops from other counties to return to the rescue while organizing personnel to strengthen the city defense.
When people get busy, they have no idea of time. Before they know it, it's time for me. My son brought a bowl of rice. As soon as he pulled two subordinates, he ran over and said, "Lord, I found the traces of the enemy, which are less than ten miles from Xiangping City."
Gongsun Du was shocked, threw away the dishes and ran away.
When I ran to the city tower, I saw a dark and headed towards this place like a torrent.
Gongsun Du's face was solemn, and he stared at him for a long time before asking, "Who is leading the army?"
The subordinate replied: "Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Gan Ning, Zhao Yun, Xiahou Chong, Xiahou Heng, Xiahou Ba..."
Gongsun Du's face turned dark in an instant. He was not afraid of the boys of the Xiahou family, but Zhang Liao and Xu Chu...
One is the general whom Lu Bu valued the most, and the other is Cao Cao's personal guard. None of these two people is good at it, and the Jinfan thief is also not easy to deal with.
Gongsun Du took a deep breath, pointed to the army under the city and said to his son Gongsun Kang: "They do not have siege equipment and should not attack the city for the time being. Let the brothers have dinner as soon as possible. There will be a bad battle to fight in the next few days."
"I understand." Gongsun Kang left with his fists.
Under the city.
Zhang Liao led an army of 30,000 and stood five miles away. He looked at the city with Gan Ning's eyes. After looking for a long time, he said: "The city is in a tight defense, and sneak attack is impossible. Let's follow the routine. Xiahou Ba, lead people to build siege equipment, and the others set up camp and wait for the young master."
Xiahou Ba said reluctantly: "We have explosives, and the city gate exploded in an instant. Is it necessary to do so hard?"
Zhang Liao explained: "It will take one or two days to come in the hands of the young master. You have to do what you should do before this, otherwise they will not be able to get the effect of the surprise weapon."
"Thank you, General, I understand." Xiahou Ba left with his fists.
After he left, Zhang Liao calmly built a camp and had no intention of sending people into the city to persuade him to surrender.
Gongsun Du also did not send anyone to question him.
The enemy troops even asked why they hit me when they arrived at the city. Not only was it meaningless, but they also seemed to be unconfident.
The first day was so peaceful.
After breakfast the next day, Zhang Liao ordered the siege.
It was just a feint, neither side worked very hard.
In war, things like this are often progressive, first test and find out the other party’s trump card.
This test lasted another whole day.
On the morning of the third day, Cao Ang arrived, and the 45,000 troops were united, and the momentum suddenly became much stronger.
After meeting, Cao Ang went straight to the topic and said, "What's the situation?"
Zhang Liao replied: "Gongsun Du defended very tightly, and it was obvious that he wanted to continue to waste time with us. In addition, Yang Yi, who was defending Wuhuan in Liaoxi County, probably received news that he was rushing back. As for our side, the siege equipment has been built and he can launch a general attack at any time."
Cao Ang clenched his fist with his right hand and slammed it into the palm of his left hand, saying, "Gan Ning led 5,000 people to guard the south city gate, Zhao Yun led 5,000 people to guard the west city gate, Gao Shun led 5,000 people to guard the north city gate, Xu Chu led 3,000 cavalry as a maneuver and ready to support at any time. The rest of the troops attacked the east city with all their might. I will go to the prefect's mansion to rest before dark."
"Here." The generals clasped their fists at the same time.
The order was issued, and nearly 50,000 troops were acting at the same time, and the positions moved forward quickly.
Zhang Liao beat the horse and walked to the front of the team. He waved the Yitian Sword with force. The soldiers of the Fourth Army carried the ladder and pushed the catapult to run towards the city gate.
The city also quickly entered a state of combat, and the city-guarding weapons such as rolling stones, woods, arrows, etc. were smashed down without any money.
Cao Ang has little experience in siege, and he only watches the only thing he sees on TV. Everyone knows that TV series is the most unreliable, and it is a fool to believe it.
He knew that he couldn't do it, so he didn't stand it. He rode his horse and stayed quietly by Zhang Liao as an audience member.
Taking advantage of Zhang Liao's lack of clairvoyance, he touched the horse's neck and said, "Gongsun Du is really a good person. He knew that we didn't have a horse, so he sent a batch in advance. It's so embarrassing to be so polite."
Zhang Liao smiled and said, "I should thank him very much, but Liu Yi, I have heard of this person's name. He is a good general. He originally wanted to persuade the young master to reuse this person, but who would have thought..."
Cao Ang smiled and said, "Some time ago, Dingguo Group recruited, and it is expected to recruit 300 people, but there are 1,220 registered. Do you know how my wife recruited?"
"Oh?" Zhang Liao smiled and said, "I hope to hear the details."
Cao Ang said: "When the resume was delivered to her, she grabbed a handful and threw it into the trash can, saying that luck is also part of her strength. This group of people are not lucky. Liu Yi is the unlucky person who is not lucky. He stepped on a landmine as soon as he went out, and I was so disappointed for him."
Zhang Liao smiled and said, "Young lady really has a way."
"Don't learn it." Cao Ang smiled and said, "She threw half of her resume into the trash can, and left the half for a long time but couldn't find many satisfied ones. She picked up the thrown batch from the trash can."
Zhang Liao: "..."
The young lady is really...
But if you tell me this, is it meaningful or is it just casually talking about it?
Zhang Liao couldn't guess it and was unwilling to ask, so he turned his head and looked at the battlefield. After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, he said, "The time is almost over. Zheng Tu, the formation team immediately attacked and blew the city gate for me."
