Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 109
After the battle, seeing Gongsun Kang's army retreating to the camp, Cao Hongcai ordered the civilian men in the city to leave the city to collect the corpses, and then count the results of the battle.

In the afternoon, the results were finally tallied.

"General, we have killed [-] enemies while defending the city this time, but we only injured dozens of people. It's a miracle!"

A general under his command reported to Cao Hong in surprise.

"Really? Great."

Cao Hong was extremely excited when he heard what his men said.

"This time defending the city, the artillery and thunder made a big attack. With these two weapons, Gongsun Kang not only has 10,000+ people, but has a million troops. I believe we can all defend."

"Give me an order to slaughter cattle and sheep, and reward the soldiers well."

Contrary to Leyang City, when the number of soldiers lost was counted, the faces of Gongsun Kang and his generals were extremely ugly.

They did not expect that the losses would be so great in less than half an hour.

Many Liaodong soldiers died when they were shot from behind by the rain of arrows while fleeing, but it was the thunder that Cao Hong's soldiers threw from the city wall to the bottom of the city that played a decisive role.

Gongsun Kang knew that he had lost thousands of people, but he didn't know that Cao Hong's troops in Leyang City had no losses.

If he knew, he would probably be pissed to death.

"Let me tell you quietly, don't talk nonsense, I was the first to rush to the city wall last time, but do you know what is on the city wall?"

"What is it?"

"It's the devil, the white devil."

"Don't lie to me, how can there be a devil in the world?"

"Why did I lie to you? Really, that devil is invulnerable. After we rushed up, I slashed him with a knife, and the knife flew away. If I didn't run fast, I would have died."

"This... Yesterday Angkor also said that people on the city wall are invulnerable. Is it true?"

"Of course it's true. Let me tell you, I won't be foolish enough to attack the city anymore. I'm going to die if I go up."

"You should also be careful when you attack the city in a few days. If you want me to say, just put on a show outside the city, and don't get close to the city wall. The devil's weapon is too scary."

Gongsun Kang didn't know that when he was preparing to make siege equipment to attack the city again, a message spread among his troops like the wind.

What enemy is invulnerable.

No matter how many siege engines there are, they will be destroyed by the devil's weapons.

To attack a city means to die.

Such a message, even if the general above noticed it, it couldn't be prevented.

In addition, there are many middle and low-level generals who are afraid of war. In the last siege, no less than dozens of army generals were killed, and they did not want to die.

In the eyes of many people, attacking a city means committing suicide, and there is no hope of being able to capture it.

Many people hope that Gongsun Kang can withdraw his troops and return to Liaodong, because it is really unwise to attack Youzhou.

"General, the people below are full of complaints and have no fighting spirit. Do you think you should tell the lord that we should retreat to Liaodong?"

In a large tent, a young man said to the middle-aged man who was looking up.

"You know what a fart, if we really withdraw our troops and return to Liaodong, we will really be finished."

The middle-aged man said: "The last time the general said he was going back to Liaodong, he was just talking out of anger. He didn't turn back when he opened his bow, and if he didn't take Youzhou, do you think Liaodong will still exist in the future?"

"Then...this Leyang City is so difficult to attack, can it be defeated?" the young man asked.

"You don't understand this. Although we can't attack the hinterland of Youzhou at present, the Xianbei people in the north are not vegetarians."

The middle-aged man said: "We have held back most of Youzhou's elite troops. As long as the Xianbei people invade Youzhou, we can cooperate with the Xianbei people inside and outside, and then take over the entire Youzhou."

"Moreover, the general is not planning to fight against Cao Hong's troops in Leyang. As long as the Xianbei invade Youzhou, we can directly cross Leyang and attack the hinterland of Youzhou without worrying about the shortage of food and grass. The food in the Xianbei territory has been transported."

"It would be great if this was the case. We held back Cao Hong's troops. The Xianbeis were able to attack the empty Youzhou without any difficulty. They just made the Xianbeis cheaper," said the young man.

"Cheap is not cheap, that's not how you look at it. In the end, we will control Youzhou. Youzhou is all Han people. It is impossible for Xianbei people to control Youzhou." The middle-aged man said: "At most, let the Xianbei people It’s an advantage, but this is a price that must be paid.”

After a siege, Gongsun Kang seemed to be manufacturing siege equipment wantonly, but he was actually waiting, waiting for the news that the Xianbei invaded Youzhou.

As long as the Xianbei people invade Youzhou, he can bypass Leyang City and directly attack the hinterland of Youzhou.

Youzhou, Xixi County.

Xixi County (now Gubeikou area), as the junction of Youzhou and Kebineng Xianbei people, its location is very important.

To the north of Yanxi County is Rehe City (now Chengde area) of the Xianbei people, so it once prospered because of the mutual trade with Xianbei.

However, at this time, the prosperity in front of Yanxi County was broken by the arrival of countless Xianbei soldiers.

Knowing that there was going to be a war, countless people in Juxi County evacuated Juxi early, and only more than 1 militiamen hurriedly formed by Li Bai, the governor of Youzhou, were stationed here.

The difference from Leyang City is that Leyang City can still be regarded as a city, while Yuxi County can only be regarded as a big town.

Although in recent years, with the development of Yuyang, the city wall has also been built in Yuxi County, but the city wall is not high or very large.

Yuxi is the first barrier of Youzhou, and the second barrier is Luping County.

Because Luping County is an important industrial city in Youzhou, most of the troops organized by Li Bai are stationed in Luping City, with a total of more than 3 troops.

Of course, behind Guangping, Yuyang City, an important industrial city that is equally important as Guangping, is also a city heavily protected by Youzhou.

Ever since the news spread that Gongsun Kang and the Xianbei people were going to attack Youzhou, training was organized here every day.

There are hundreds of thousands of male and female workers working in Yuyang City alone.

As long as these people have been trained, there is no problem in participating in the defense of the city.

"My lord Ke Bineng, in front of you is the Han county town of Juxi. Depending on the situation, there are tens of thousands of defenders. Fortunately, the city walls are not tall, and the defenders are all civilians who have not participated in the war. I believe it should be easy to attack."

Outside Xixi City, a general under his command said to Kebineng, who was wearing a fur coat and a fox fur hat.

"Really? According to the time, Gongsun Kang of Liaodong has already started to attack the Liaoxi Corridor. Let's start to take action here too."

Afterwards, Ke Bineng loudly issued an order and said: "Give me the order to bypass Xixi and directly enter the hinterland of Youzhou."
