The Peerless God-level System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 144 Design Begins

Xu Jing is not a fool, how could he run up to fight for the first place? At this time, the soldiers' eyes were already reddened in order to escape for their lives. Although a passage was made, Xu Jing remained motionless, still standing with these people.

Seeing that Xu Jing didn't move, the commander was also a little surprised. However, although Xu Jing's behavior was out of consideration for his own protection, it was a crooked attack, and it went against the temper of these people.

The guards around him consciously closed the gaps they had left, and huddled together tightly. With their shields raised obliquely and their spears like a forest, they leaned against the river bank, forming a simple formation against the cavalry. Although, Everyone knows that it is very reluctant to stop the cavalry's charge in such a formation, but there are still many veterans who have been defeated. They no longer fight for the ferry, but gather around these people one after another. There are more than a thousand people gathered, and the formation of these more than a thousand people may still be loose, but the fighting spirit has recovered a little unconsciously.

Qin Qiong didn't expect that when the enemy army had completely collapsed, he could still see someone organizing resistance.

Out of caution, Qin Qiong immediately restrained most of the soldiers. In addition to sending a team of cavalry to continue chasing and killing the fleeing soldiers and trying to capture the ships, he himself led the rest of the soldiers in an arc and approached at high speed. This batch of enemy troops.

With one thousand against ten thousand, this was originally a battle of great disparity in strength. The reorganized enemy army was a little trembling, and some veterans quietly scattered around. Under the gradual oppression of Qin Qiong's arc-shaped army formation, , Some people couldn't bear the pressure, and before the encirclement closed, they began to collapse again, and gradually ran to the side.

Only the original hundreds of personal guards are still standing there firmly.At this time, it can also be seen why Gao Xiang was able to survive in Jiaozhou, which was surrounded by powerful enemies, with less than [-] troops under his command. These loyal and brave subordinates were the guarantee of his position.

Qin Qiong also didn't expect that this situation has already come, and there are still hundreds of people who can withstand the pressure without collapsing. He can't help but love talents in his heart, and gradually dispels the idea of ​​​​annihilating them in one fell swoop. Instead, he has plans to subdue them.

Seeing that these soldiers were able to persevere in resistance under adversity, a wave of respect arose in my heart, and I sighed: "It seems that these people should be elite soldiers under Gao Xiang's command, but just now, why didn't he bring them along with him?"

Qin Qiong's eyes lit up. If Gao Xiang had brought these people to chase just now, maybe he would not have been captured on the spot. Then, what is the reason, Gao Xiang would rather take risks by himself than use these elite soldiers?
"Honey, there's a big fish in there!"

Qin Qiong was sitting on the horse, condescending, and happened to see Xu Jing who was dressed as a scribe inside.

"Pass my order, the whole army will march forward, surrounded on three sides, and the archers are ready! Listen to my orders at any time!"

A series of orders were yelled out by Qin Qiong, and several messengers also waved their banners regularly.

In an instant, the army, which was still marching slowly, got Qin Qiong's military order, and suddenly sped up its pace, changing from the original loose arc shape to a tense semicircle, which happened to surround the hundreds of people in the middle. A group of archers rushed out quickly, occupying various favorable positions, and rows of arrow clusters looked extremely cold under the spring sun.

The hundreds of guards who were surrounded all gasped.

They can be regarded as following Gao Xiang's elite soldiers and strong generals. Fighting between tribes is commonplace on weekdays, and being surrounded is also a common thing. They were worried, but they hadn't reached the point of timidity, because they had all experienced being surrounded by tens of thousands of people, so how could they be afraid of a mere thousand people.

However, the army encountered today is obviously different from the Yue tribe in the past. Not only did they march in a very orderly manner, but also, the terrifying tacit understanding of thousands of people as if they were one person surprised them even more.

What kind of military discipline is needed to achieve such a level?In addition to the strong army in the Central Plains, when did Jiaozhou have such an army?

Xu Jing was the most surprised. In fact, from the very beginning, he had been guessing the identity of the army on the other side, and, vaguely, he had guessed almost exactly, but even though he had already overestimated Yuan Yao's strength However, when he saw the army in front of him, he was still a little surprised. Looking at the people around him, it was obvious that he didn't want to be so calm at the beginning. Some people even turned pale and could support them to persevere Yes, I'm afraid it's also the pride of being an elite. These people, Gao Xiang did not hesitate to recruit, are all very brave fighters among the Yue people.

The army stood still, and patches of cold light faced the sun, shining dazzling light.

The surrounding shouts gradually faded away.

Needless to say, under the pursuit of Qin Qiong's subordinates, the defeated enemy army either boarded the boat and fled for their lives, or knelt down and surrendered. Now, the empty soldiers are also surrounded one by one. Level, unless those people escape into the waterway, otherwise, it is difficult to fly with wings.

"Hurry up, you're nagging, watch out for your head!"

I don't know when, the little Dutong strode in just now, dragging a rope in his hand, on the other end of the rope, Gao Xiang's face was flushed, he was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

After all, Gao Xiang was also a vassal. When would he be led around like a cow.

Seeing Gao Xiang appear, there was obviously a commotion in the enemy army on the opposite side, and many people even spit fire in their eyes. The so-called master humiliates the subject, Gao Xiang, after all, is their master, and the master's humiliation is like their humiliation.

Qin Qiong glared at Xiao Dutong, and scolded: "What are you doing, I told you to go to General Gao to invite you here, why did you neglect the guests!"

Xiao Dutong touched his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "I won't dare next time, I won't dare next time."

"There is another time!"

Gao Xiang was heartbroken, but living under the eaves is the most important thing. If you lose face, you can earn more. If you lose your life, everything will be over.

It is true that Gao Xiang is ambitious, but between survival and ambition, he would rather choose the former.

Needless to say, Gao Xiang was able to be proud of himself in the sewage in Jiaozhou, and his eyes were sharp. Without Qin Qiong's instructions, he knew what was going on when he saw the situation on the other side, and immediately sighed: "The defeated general, thanks to the general For the grace of saving my life, if the general can trust me, I am willing to surrender without any second thoughts."

This man had some winks, so as to save Qin Qiong from wasting any more words, he got off his horse, swung a knife and cut off the ropes on Gao Xiang's body, and said with a smile: "General Gao is wise to follow the time, I promise, as long as you sincerely surrender to me Lord, my Lord will certainly be kind to you."

Gao Xiang forced a smile, no one would be in a good mood if anyone fell from above ten thousand to below one, he cupped his hands, pointed to the opposite side and said, "Am I going to persuade them to surrender, or am I just shouting here?"

Glancing at the guards indifferently, Qin Qiong waved his hands generously and said: "Since General Gao has surrendered to our lord, we were colleagues at the time, you can go and persuade them to surrender, and I will wait for the good news here!"

Gao Xiang looked at Qin Qiong gratefully, even though he was still a prisoner, Gao Xiang still developed a good impression of Qin Qiong.

Gao Xiang patted the dust off his body. Even though his whole body was almost torn apart by the horses, he still pulled himself together and walked towards his personal guard with his chest upright.

My lord is fine, and those personal guards are very happy.

Even now, breaking through the encirclement is still not possible, without Gao Xiang's nonsense, everyone put down their weapons and surrendered together with Gao Xiang.

Qin Qiong was overjoyed, and while sending people to gather the surrendered soldiers, he hurriedly sent the news here to Yuan Yao.

Outside Cangwu City, Yuan Yao had already surrounded the inner three floors and the outer three floors. Although Wu Ju was about to come to Muli, he couldn't really rush out of the city.

However, Yuan Yao suddenly stopped attacking the city wall, and instead concentrated the thunderbolt chariots at the four city gates. As long as Wu Ju dared to open the city gates, he would be shot by chaotic stones. One piece was smashed to death, Wu Ju tried to charge several times but failed, so he could only shrink back helplessly.

In the end, I pinned all my hopes on the reinforcements outside the city.

After receiving Gao Xiang's letter of surrender, the staff is training the soldiers to become familiar with the thunderbolt car.

As for the target, it is naturally the gate of Cangwu City. Anyway, the two armies are facing each other, Wu Ju can't come out, unless he doesn't care about the casualties, he can't take it in a short time.

After reading the letter, Yuan Yao was also pleasantly surprised, hurriedly called Pang Tong, Gan Ning and others, and said with a smile: "Shubao is so fast, I thought it would take at least tonight to defeat Gao Xiang's army. "

Pang Tong smiled, but rolled his eyes, stood up and said, "Congratulations, my lord, now that Gao Xiang has surrendered, Cangwu City will be destroyed by itself!"

Gan Ning paused for a while, came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Mr. Pang's words are true. Now that Cangwu is besieged on all sides, it is very difficult for Wu Ju to know about Gao Xiang's surrender. My lord can take advantage of Wu Ju who is still in the dark." , Destroy the enemy with tricks."

The haze of many days was gone today, Yuan Yao was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Then, I will send someone to try to contact the city. Now that Gao Xiang is broken, it is time for Lai Gong to fulfill his promise."

Thinking of Lai Gong, Yuan Yao thought of Xue Zong whom he had never met before. This man was a great talent, but he didn't know much. Extremely top-notch, especially Xue Zong, who is not only good at writing, but also understands military strategy.

He has never had too much talent.

Pang Tong remonstrated: "Contact Lai Gong, that's for sure, but, my lord, it's a pity if you don't make good use of such a golden opportunity."

"Dare to ask the plan to come out."

Yuan Yao is a good follower.

Pang Tong thought about it and said, "Although Lai Gong intends to approach us, we are not familiar with him after all. If he repents temporarily, we can only miss this opportunity. My lord, why don't you take advantage of Gao Xiang's surrender? Let people pretend to be Gao Xiang's reinforcements, and then take the opportunity to swindle to open the city gate, and then order Lai Gong to open the city gate from the other side, so that Wu Ju will be attacked on both sides, even if one side is defeated, we can still break through from the other side."

"Just do it!"

Yuan Yao clapped his hands and made a crisp sound, which also set the tone for this military meeting.

Subsequently, the army outside Cangwu City, under the command of Gan Ning, attacked the city from four sides.

This time, the thunderbolt chariots blocked at the city gate were also separated separately to support the soldiers attacking the city and suppress the counterattack of bows and arrows on the city wall.

Everything went smoothly. Wu Ju couldn't think of any effective way to resist the thunderbolt car. He could only cover it with countless shields. The bows and arrows he shot were also sparse. Many defenders didn't dare to show their heads at all. Nocking an arrow and shooting it outside without knowing where the arrow went, it would be unreasonable to be hit by such a bow and arrow.

However, although the thunderbolt chariot is a good helper in the siege, the soldiers are the key to the victory or defeat.

When the army outside the city rushed to the city, the thunderbolt car had to stop shooting.

The current thunderbolt car does not have the crosshairs of later generations, which can guarantee a perfect shot. There are still some stones, which are clearly aimed at the city wall, and may fall halfway and hit the friendly army outside the city. Naturally, Yuan Yao does not want this to happen. Therefore, rushing to the bottom of the city wall, there are countless ladders, and for the first time, the defenders on the city dared to stand up boldly, venting their pent-up anger for a long time.

Halfway through the war, both sides showed morale.

The defenders are condescending, with a psychological advantage, Yuan Yao's army is stimulated by military achievements, and each one is very crazy.

Looking at the stalemate, it might turn into a war of attrition. Suddenly, Yuan Yaozhong's army heard the sound of gold.

At the same time as the signal to retreat, the soldiers who attacked the city retreated quickly, not daring to delay for a moment.

On the city tower, Wu Ju led many generals and stood in a safe place, commanding the defenders to resist. Seeing that Yuan Yao had just started to attack, he suddenly withdrew his troops, all of them were puzzled.

But Lai Gongfu was in his heart and perfunctory for a while, that is, he said that he had a stomachache, got up and left, Wu Ju didn't want to leave him, wishing that Lai Gong would die of pain.It is to make people go out to collect the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle.Both sides live in peace.

Then, why did Yuan Yaoming order to attack the city when he knew that Gao Xiang had surrendered and there were internal responses in the city?

This is indeed Yuan Yao's last resort, so he made such a bad move.Although Gao Xiang surrendered, he was the happiest person. However, if he surrendered, how should this spread into the city?He also wanted to use Gao Xiang as a surprise soldier.

Naturally, he didn't want Wu Ju to know the truth. Even if the matter would be discovered sooner or later, he could take advantage of the time difference and catch Wu Ju by surprise.

However, if Wu Ju is not allowed to know, Lai Gong in the city naturally doesn't know either, now that three days have passed, if he doesn't pass the news in, who knows that on the fourth day, Lai Gong's confidence will suddenly be shaken, and Li Ji is still in the city Woolen cloth.

At this time, Yuan Yao's siege is understandable.

During the siege, both sides fought together, especially at the head of the city, where the two sides were fighting, and the situation became even more chaotic. At this time, send one or two nimble soldiers to follow the crowd of siege, and take the opportunity to sneak into Wu Ju's army. Anyway, with so many Yue people under Wu Ju's command, they only recognize their own leaders on weekdays. The organization is inherently chaotic, and even standing in front of Wu Ju, it is impossible for him to recognize it clearly.

In this way, Yuan Yao's whole army attacked the city, covering the few soldiers who quietly sneaked into the city, it was difficult for Wu Ju to find out.

When the siege was over, the defenders were slack, and when they went down to the city to rest, the soldiers hurriedly took off their uniforms, pretended to be ordinary people, and passed the news to Li Ji.

After subduing Gao Xiang, Li Ji was overjoyed. He knew that a living Gao Xiang was more valuable than a dead Gao Xiang.

After all, Lai Gong's strength is still too weak. The city gates on all sides are guarded by Wu Ju's cronies. Even if he raids at night, there is a possibility of failure. If Gao Xiang came to open the city gate, it would be much easier.

It can also be seen from this that the wisdom of the wise is not false.

After receiving the news, Li Ji left immediately and sent someone to Lai Gong's mansion to inquire first. It happened that Lai Gong didn't know whether he had a heart-to-heart or really had a stomachache, so he also sat at home.

Li Ji went well and found Lai Gong.

The agreed three-day deadline is almost here. In the past two days, Li Ji has not come, but at this time, Lai Gong also guessed a bit, and Yuan Yao's inexplicable siege today, after thinking about it, Lai Gong Having made up his mind, he hurriedly called for Xue Zong, the two discussed for a while, and went out hand in hand to meet Sima Zhi.

The three of them were standing in the corridor of the front yard, fighting against each other. It is not what it used to be. Now that they have made up their mind to seek refuge with Yuan Yao, the attitude of the two of them has also become enthusiastic. The maid served fragrant tea, and Lai Gong was all smiles. He clapped his hands to Li Ji and said, "Mr. is indeed a believer. He agreed for three days, one day is not bad, and one time is not bad."

Li Ji knew that Lai Gong was looking for something to talk about, after all, everyone was unfamiliar, but this did not mean that under the same lord, the three of them were not close.

Li Ji also said a few words politely, then looked at Lai Gong and said: "Now Gao Xiang has surrendered to my lord, the three-day agreement has been completed, I wonder what you two mean?"

Xue Zong smiled, clasped his fists, and said in the direction of Yuan Yao's camp: "Since Yuan Zhoumu thinks highly of us, we are naturally willing to follow the left and right, holding the whip and throwing the stirrups."

Li Ji was very happy to finally get the promise from the two of them. He also inquired about Xue Zong's background in detail, and knew that this person was a real person, so he would not speak nonsense.

He squinted his eyes and asked again: "Since the two of you are willing to agree with each other, why don't you choose a good time to let the Lord's army enter the city, wouldn't it be a great achievement?"

Lai Gong frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Don't tell me, sir, I also have the same intention. It's just that Wu Ju has been watching me very closely. The gates around the city are also guarded by his cronies. He wants to open the gates. We should also cooperate with the inside and the outside, and cooperate with all our strength, and only when we cooperate with the inside and the outside, will we be able to succeed."

Xue Zong, who was at the side, suddenly had a flash of light in his mind, and said with a smile, "I just heard that Gao Xiang's entire army surrendered Yuan Zhoumu. Is this true?"

"Jing Wen's eyes are as bright as torches!"

Li Ji looked at Xue Zong admiringly, and was also surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that this person was so quick-witted, and he guessed the key point from just a few words.

Lai Gong also came back to his senses, even though he couldn't figure out what kind of riddle the two were playing, he could feel it a little bit, he pointed to Xue Zong, and said: "Jingwen, from now on, you will command my army and horses." , You can discuss all military matters with Master Li, don't ask me."

The two are old friends, these soldiers and horses, the money and status that Lai Gong can't spend, the real master is Xue Zong.

He was not polite, and asked Li Ji with a smile: "When Yuan Zhoumu plans to take the city, as long as there is room for us, just ask."

"Boldness!"

Li Ji raised his thumb, motioned for the two of them to come over, and said in a low voice: "To be honest, my lord has already agreed on a date. Tomorrow, you can gather troops and horses to attack the east gate. Someone will respond, as for Ximen, we have our own arrangements, when the time comes, everyone will tie white cloths on their right hands, so as not to misidentify them!"
