Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Looking at Gao Sheng who had been stabbed to death by random guns, Yan Liu felt even more uncomfortable. He had already saved his life, so why would he seek death?

In Gongsun Du's heart, he despised the benevolence of the women staying at the banquet. Seeing her lost in thought at this time, he recruited soldiers and asked her to set fire to the village.

A fire broke out in the village, Yan Liu came back to his senses in shock, and asked, "Who set the fire?"

Gongsun Du replied: "I didn't give the order to set the fire on fire, Master Yan still ordered the army to move quickly. I didn't find a woman or child in the village, so I must have escaped."

Yan Liu glanced at Gongsundu, and was about to blame him. His own coach didn't even give an order, and he dared to order the fire, obviously not taking himself seriously.

But after thinking about it, I still endured it, after all, this battle depends on him more, and it is a big taboo for military strategists to disagree with the generals during the war.

Suppressing dissatisfaction, the banquet stayed and the army continued to move forward.

As the army got closer and closer to the Korean city of Lelang County, Yan Liu was more and more surprised, because where the army passed, there were not many civilians, and occasionally captured a few, including old and weak women and children.

After a lot of questioning by a butcher knife, Yanliu learned that all the people in the vicinity had moved to North Korea City, and was even more worried, so he ordered the army to speed up and rush to North Korea City.

One day later, Yanliu came to the outside of the North Korean city, leaving a group of soldiers to set up camp, leading most of the soldiers to the city, looking at the defenders at the top of the city, Yan Liu ordered the generals behind him to persuade them to surrender.

As soon as Yan Liu finished speaking, a general rushed out from behind, Pegasus came to 80 meters below the city, stopped and shouted:

"Listen to the Han army in the city. My king is grateful for the grace of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. I have been invited by the former general Yihou to conquer the traitor Li Huiyi. You will open the city gate quickly..."

Before he finished speaking, a voice came from the city.

"Bah! My lord is benevolent and deeply trusted by the late emperor. He has been stationed in the frontier for many years, but the foreign races like Rong De'er are rampant! If you want to enter the city, just ask the hundreds of thousands of people in the city to see if they agree!"

"disagree!"

"disagree!"

"disagree!"

Shocking shouts came, the general under the city didn't bother to talk nonsense, he pulled his horse back to the formation.

Seeing this, Gongsundu bowed his fists to Yanliu and said, "Your Excellency, order to attack the city! Don't waste time. If the king goes down to Xuantu first, and I don't take down Le Lang, I'm afraid the king will blame him."

Glancing at the people shouting loudly in the city, Yanliu knew that there was no other way than a death attack, so he ordered the army to attack the city.

As soon as the drums sounded, Goguryeo soldiers began to besiege the city and launched an attack from all sides, preparing to take the city in one fell swoop.

Seeing this, the defenders of the city raised their bows and arrows to meet the enemy. When the enemy rushed close, they threw huge boulders at them without any fear.

Not long after the siege, Yanliu and Gongsundu realized that something was wrong. Most of the defenders were dressed in common people's clothes, which showed that they didn't look like them at all. They were experienced defenders, comparable to ordinary soldiers.

After several waves of attacks, the city tower retreated in defeat before reaching the top, leaving corpses all over the ground.

Seeing that the soldiers suffered heavy losses and returned without success, Yan left an order to suspend the attack and prepare to lead the army back to the camp.

Seeing that Yanliu was about to retreat, Gongsundu hurriedly dissuaded him, but Yanliu had made up his mind and ignored Gongsundu at all, leading the army back to camp.

Seeing the slowly receding army, and hearing the cheers erupting in the city, Gongsun Du's heart was filled with anger, and the veins on the hilt of the sword in his hand were exposed.

Trying to suppress his anger for a moment, Gongsun Du squeezed his horse's belly and ran forward quickly.

In the Koguryo handsome tent, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and Gongsun Du sternly questioned Yanliu.

"Now is a great opportunity to take down the city in one go. Why did your lord order the army to retreat, and lose the sharpness of the army in vain."

When questioned by his subordinates, no matter how good his temper was, Yanliu replied angrily, "If you don't order the army to retreat, will all the elite of our clan die under the city?"

Gongsun Duqi replied: "Since ancient times, victories in battles have been won by the bloodshed of countless soldiers. If it is the benevolence of women, catastrophe will not be far away!"

The two quarreled and vented their dissatisfaction with each other, but after venting, they still had to solve the matter of siege.

Half an hour later, Yan Liu looked at Gongsun Du with a gloomy expression and said, "You and I are both at fault for what happened today, but it's useless to quarrel right now, we still need to solve how to capture the city."

As the coach, Yanliu was quite tolerant to ask Gongsundu first.

And Gongsun Du is also a smart person. Seeing Yanliu's questioning at this time, he also replied in a face-saving manner: "The people from the second county, most of them have moved here, and some have even been bandits. They must be braver than ordinary people. .”

After Gongsun Du said it, the doubts in Yanliu's heart were immediately resolved, so he asked anxiously, "Is that a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Gongsun Du replied displeased: "The bandits will disperse if they are in a hurry. If they continued to attack just now, I am afraid that you and I are already in the city."

He was quite cautious in keeping this person in the banquet, and what he had learned in his life was also some ways to govern the country and stabilize the country.

At this time, I heard that I missed the best time, and I was very annoyed in my heart, so I hurriedly asked: "Then what should we do now, so as to reduce casualties and win the city?"

Gongsun Du rolled his eyes at Yanliu, and slowly replied: "The current strategy is that you and I each lead an army and take turns choosing two to attack, so that the defenders in the city are exhausted, so that we can have a chance to take the city."

When Yan Liu heard about this plan, he began to worry about gains and losses. After a long time, he agreed to divide [-] troops and hand them over to Gongsun Du.

In the early morning of the next day, Yanliu took the plan of accepting Gongsun Du, took out two of the four gates in turn, and threw heavy troops into the attack.

There are few defenders in the city, most of them are civilians, and it is difficult to dispatch them, so they are caught in rushing back and forth for help, and the losses are even heavier.

In desperation, the defenders in the city called on all the people in the city to stand by at each gate, ready to go up to the city and stand firm at any time.

With the support of the people all over the city, it was difficult for the Goguryeo soldiers outside the city to break through for a while, and the two sides began to consume each other and persist.

Chapter 246 What the People Want

Hua Xin, who was far away in Liaodong, had just welcomed Huang Zhong back, and before he could be happy in the future, he learned that Goguryeo had invaded with a large army, and Wang Lie also sent several people to ask for help.

It's true that one thing is not settled and another is coming. The anxious Hua Xin couldn't sleep or eat, so he ordered all the soldiers in the city to go to Xuantu for support.

The sudden mobilization of the whole city's army alarmed Mrs. Juan, who lived in Li's residence, thinking that something had happened to Li Huiyi, so she went to Hua Xin's place in person.

Knowing Mrs. Juan's arrival, Hua Xin put aside what she was doing and went to greet Jin in person.

All the way to the house, Mrs. Juan saw Hua Xin's anxious expression, and asked worriedly, "Master Hua, why is it so urgent, but Master Hou..."

Seeing that Mrs. Juan hesitated to speak, Hua Xin replied, "Mistress, don't worry, the army from Youbeiping is gathered, the Lord is not in danger, it's just Xuantu..."

Seeing that Hua Xin stopped talking, Mrs. Juan knew what she meant, so she said comfortingly:

"Don't worry, Mr. Hua. Since ancient times, women have not been allowed to be involved in politics. It's not that I don't understand Madam. I just asked this question because I saw the anxiety on my husband's face and he was afraid that his body would be choked."

Hua Xin also suffers from the fact that no one discusses it. Now that she heard Mrs. Juan's words, she is not hiding it anymore, and Xu Xu said that she was distressed.

As the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand troops, but hard to find a general. Hua Xin is facing this situation at this time. There are thousands of soldiers gathered in the city, but there is no one to choose from as a leading general.

Maybe Huang Zhong can be asked for help, but he just asked someone to escort the grain and grass, and now he has just returned not long ago, and he is sending troops to help, I am afraid that others will have ideas in their hearts.

Knowing that Xuantu's battle was urgent, Mrs. Juan asked him to lead the way, and was going to invite him in person.

Seeing that Mrs. Juan was willing to persuade Huang Zhong, Hua Xin naturally agreed, so she took Mrs. Juan to Huang Xu's residence.
