But on the third day, Zhao Hui's luck was not very good.

The traces of the army were still discovered.

The closer you get to Liaodong City, the higher the possibility of exposure.

Although Gongsun Gong sent a large number of scouts to Changli County.

But within Liaodong, especially around Liaodong City, there are hundreds of miles. There are also scouts patrolling.

While cooking at noon today, Zhao Hui's scouts spotted a small group of people observing from a distance.

But when they chased after them, the other party immediately ran away.

"The whereabouts of our army have been discovered, and we can only implement the second plan." Zhao Hui called Jia Xudian and Wei Xu Huang.

If it is not exposed, Zhao Hui will secretly raid at night and break through Liaodong City in one fell swoop.

But now that it's exposed, it's a bit difficult to sneak attack.

In the past few nights, the Gongsun family in the city will definitely focus on guarding against Zhao Hui's sneak attack.

wants to recover Liaodong, although for the current Zhao Hui, it is simpler than at the beginning.

However, there can be only one set of battle plans, and there is still a backup plan, in the face of accidents, when the first plan cannot be implemented.

Zhao Hui's army did not stop because it was discovered.

50,000 soldiers, still advancing normally.

In Liaodong City, when Gongsun Gong received the news, his face was shocked and abruptly disbelieving.

"How can it be so fast?"

Gongsun Yuan also looked incredulous.

From Liaoxi to Liaodong, not to mention that Gongsun Gong sent three or four hundred scouts.

Even if you want to pass through Changli County, it will take a month.

"Zhao Hui's army, did it fly over?" Gongsun Yuan muttered to himself.

Unbelievable.

I was at a loss.

The uncle and nephew looked at each other and didn't know what to say.

Other scouts were sent again, and the news was that Zhao Hui's army was less than a hundred miles away from Liaodong. It is expected to be under the city tomorrow.

"No matter why it happens, the top priority now is to let Gongsun Sheng lead the army back immediately." Gongsun Yuan said.

"He is only 50,000 people, I want to see him, how to break my Liaodong."

After Gongsun Yuan went through the first confusion, his mood quickly recovered.

In addition to sending people to recall Gongsun Sheng, Gongsun Yuan also sent more scouts to disperse around Liaodong to ensure that there were no other soldiers and horses around Liaodong.

Originally, when Zhao Hui was still in Liaoxi, the news from the spies was that Zhao Hui only led an army of 20,000.

And now Zhao Hui suddenly appeared in Liaodong, and the number of people in his hands has become 50,000.

Gongsun Yuan is even more afraid now, when Zhao Hui appears under the city, will it become an army of 100,000 to attack the city again.

Fifty thousand against fifty thousand, Gongsun Yuan thought that holding Liaodong City should not be a big problem.

But if Zhao Hui attacked the city with an army of 100,000, Gongsun Yuan would have no confidence.

He had to let Gongsun Sheng rush back with the army as soon as possible.

It's just that the 30,000 people led by Gongsun Sheng now are on the edge of Changli County, and it will take five days to rush back at the earliest.

Gongsun Yuan only hoped that he would be able to hold on for five days and wait until Gongsun Sheng returned.

"Also, second uncle, Goguryeo, let them send troops as soon as possible."

Although there are Goguryeo soldiers and horses in Liaodong City now, this number is not enough.

Gongsun Yuan couldn't feel at ease.

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to contact you."

Gongsun Yuan was young before, and the people of the Gongsun family fled to Goguryeo, and Gongsun Huang and Gongsun Gong were still the main ones there.

Gongsun Yuan is over there, but he doesn't have any status yet.

Goguryeo only recognized his eldest brother and Gongsun Gong.

It's just that Gongsun Yuan failed to let the people below keep the news.

On that day, the people in Liaodong City also knew that Zhao Hui's army was coming.

The atmosphere in the city became tense.

"Report, the enemy army has set up camp fifty miles away."

During the night, Gongsun Yuan received the latest news about Zhao Hui's army.

"Fifty miles?" Gongsun Yuan was a little pity.

He also wanted to sneak attack Zhao Hui tonight, but now it seems that he can only give up.

Fifty miles, even if all his people were lightly armed and simple, it would take more than an hour or two in the past.

Gongsun Yuan wasn't sure if Zhao Hui could react at this time.

He didn't want to take any chances.

At the beginning, his grandfather, when he learned that the Zhao army appeared two hundred miles away, sent a large army to burn the grain and grass of the Zhao army.

As a result, he fell for the trick.

Since he couldn't be sure, Gongsun Yuan didn't plan to take risks.

The scouts sent out today have all returned one after another, and it can be determined that within a radius of 100 miles from Liaodong City, only Zhao Hui's 50,000 troops have not found other horses.

50,000 against 50,000, he has the city wall to rely on, Gongsun Yuan is still confident, he can hold it for five days, wait until Gongsun Sheng returns, and there are Goguryeo's soldiers and horses to support.

In just five days, the scales of victory will be completely tilted in his favor.

Fifty miles away, after Zhao Hui's army set up camp, 2,000 soldiers quietly left at night.

After dawn, Zhao Hui's army continued to advance, and then set up camp again ten miles south of Liaodong City.

Then in the night, two thousand more soldiers quietly departed.

They didn't raise torches, everyone was silent, even the footsteps were deliberately lightened.

When they had left the camp, they went to the west.

After dawn, Zhao Hui began to command the army to attack the city.

Both siege engines and catapults were pushed out.

First, countless arrows were shot at the city.

Then the ten catapults drove with all their might, and one by one, hundreds of pounds of stones, flew high.

The stones drew parabolas in the air, and then smashed the city.

The soldiers at the head of the city began to dodge when they saw the stones flying, but some of them were still unlucky and were stoned to death.

And the head of the city was smashed into a gap by these stones.

At the same time as the catapult was launched, a siege vehicle was also pushed out, moving slowly and firmly towards the city gate.

Although the Gongsun army at the head of the city, after seeing it, began to shoot with bows and arrows.

However, the siege engine was covered with iron sheets, and it was very safe for people to hide underneath.

Moreover, the defenders at the head of the city have been suppressed by catapults and crossbows. Their counterattack was very weak, and they could not threaten the Zhao army in the siege vehicle at all.

Bang!

The siege engine slammed into the gates.

However, the city gate of Liaodong is very strong, even if it is hit by this thousand forces, it will not move at all.

It is still very difficult to break the city gate with a siege engine.

After a stick of incense, Zhao Hui was golden.

In the past few years that Liu Yu has been in Liaodong, he has strengthened the city wall again, and even the city gate is new.

If you want to attack, it's even more difficult than before.

However, Zhao Hui did not intend to attack.

He is just a feint attack today, in order to paralyze Gongsun Gong and Gongsun Yuan in the city.

Watch as the battle rages, with countless arrows flying through the air, the roar of falling stones, and the dull sound of the gates being slammed.

However, Zhao Hui did not send a large army and forcibly climbed the city wall.

The 5,000 men led by Dian Wei only moved a little closer to the city wall, and then retreated.
