The Pingguocheng incident, while giving some people a head-on blow with blood and corpses, also reminded the Qingzhou army in eastern Liaodong. The www.biquge.info of the pen and the fun of the pavilion seem to be more terrifying than the battle of a knife and a gun on the battlefield, and it seems that the enemy hidden in the shadows is more terrifying.

In the following war, in each city, the degraded officers were separated from the defenders and strictly guarded, and the money and grain account books in the treasury were all sent to the barracks. The Liaodong camp headed by Huang Zhong put all the focus on completely capturing Xiangping and exterminating Gongsun Du.

When the Qingzhou army captured Wenxian, Anshi, and Xinchang all the way, and the soldiers pointed directly at Xiangping City, Gongsun Du finally panicked. The strategists' tricks were only used once in Pingguo City, and they were useless. And the Qingzhou army came so quickly, which also surprised Gongsun Du. Those who come are not good.

Xiangping, Liaoyang of later generations, since the Warring States period Yan broke Donghu, built a city here, has been hundreds of years, is one of the largest cities in Liaodong. Xiangping City is high and thick, and there are large beams of water around the city, which has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, Gongsun Du has dominated Liaodong for many years, and this time he was beaten under the nose of the Qingzhou army, and he couldn't help but panic.

Pingzhou Pastoral Mansion, all the civil and military together. Gongsun Du sat on the main seat, and there was no longer the light breeze of the past. The reason why he was able to succeed in Liaodong was just because of the chaos in the Central Plains, and no one paid attention to him. Now that he has been remembered, he has been beaten all the way to the door of his house. Only then did I realize that it has been smooth sailing in the past few years, but there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king.

However, if you are used to giving orders, how can you give up easily. No matter what, you have to do a fight with the Qingzhou Army before you are willing. Gongsun Du's fingers tapped carelessly, and while his thoughts were turning in his heart, he listened to the opinions of his subordinates.

The henchman Yang Yi came out of the class and said: "Why should the lord worry about this? My Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and its roots lie in Xiangping. Xiangping City is strong, and Liaoyang and Xinchang echo each other. There are many soldiers in the city, and the food is enough for the army and the people for three years. No matter how brave the Qingzhou army is, could it be that I am a soldier in Liaodong, and according to this, the strong city can't hold it? ”

Gongsun Du is troubled in his heart, who doesn't know about this, and I still use you to talk about it. Something is a strategy to defend the enemy, not a city! What's the use of defending the city, I have worked hard for several years to accumulate more than 10,000 armor soldiers, which I can't afford to raise, so I have to rob those barbarians in Goguryeo many times. But under the city, the Qingzhou army casually sent more than 10,000 people. Qingzhou has a population of millions and abundant products, and it can cost Qingzhou to defend the city?

Liu Yi stepped forward and said: "Lord, the minister has a strategy to solve the danger of Xiangping." ”

Gongsun Du's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Zhong Jian came quickly." ”

Liu Yi said: "My lord, the Qingzhou army is coming across the sea, and it will be difficult to supply grain and grass, even if he transports grain from the sea, from the Yushi to Xiangping, winding for hundreds of miles. The road is long and dangerous. The lord can send an elite army, sneak into the rear, and choose the opportunity to attack its grain route. If the army is short of food, its army will be in chaos. Taking advantage of the chaos of his army, the lord led the elite of the three cities of Xiangping, Liaoyang and Xinchang to attack it. This battle will be won. ”

Gongsun Duxi said: "Zhong Jian's plan is wonderful, if I am protected in Liaodong, Zhong Jian should be the first credit!" ”

Liu Yi bowed and said: "This minister's subordinate matter is also a matter of merit, and he does not dare to take credit." ”

Huang Zhong led the army to the outside of Xiangping City, and saw that this city was majestically entrenched on the side of the Daliang River, and there were green mountains and green waters outside the city, and the mountains and rivers were bright and beautiful. sighed: "Liaodong Yuxiu, all here." Gongsun Du has a good eye. ”

Guan Yu said: "Such chaotic ministers and thieves are insignificant. ”

So it was out of the battle to fight, Gongsun Du stood in the city tower, looked at the city general, the voice was strong, showing off the might, and said: "Who is this?" True warriors too. "When you look at this posture, it's not easy to mess with.

Liu Yi was a prisoner of Qingzhou, but he recognized Guan Yu, so he said: "This Liu Bei's general Guan Yu Guan Yun Chang is also." Liu Bei commanded several generals, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong were all enemies, and Yan Yan was also strong and strong, and he was a masterpiece in the world. ”

Liu Yi originally wanted to say that Tai Shici, the fierce man who captured him in the past, was also a super thug, and there were many younger brothers under Liu Bei who could fight. However, seeing that Gongsun Du's face was not good, he forcibly swallowed the words when they reached his mouth.

Gongsun Du is roaring in his heart, Liaodong is remote, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and he has been desperately living here for several years, building schools, persuading farmers and mulberries, recruiting displaced people, and recruiting wise men...... Good things have been done, but there are only a few useful talents in the bag. Liu Bei Xiao'er, it's just shit luck, there are so many heroes to follow, if these people can be used by me, how can I be trapped in a mere Liaodong?

Guan Yu shouted a few times, even if he was about to rush to the city gate, the defenders in the city did not react, Guan Yu was about to explode, this group of shrinking turtles!

Returning to the formation, Guan Yu said angrily: "Brother Han Sheng, it seems that Gongsun Du is determined to hold on, why don't you attack the city!" ”

Huang Zhong nodded and said, "Go back to the camp and attack the city after dinner!" ”

The siege equipment of the Qingzhou Army is very rich, and it is mass-produced. It is disassembled and assembled during the march and assembled during the siege, which is extremely convenient to carry. In the afternoon, the people in Xiangping City opened their eyes for the first time. I saw that in front of the battle, countless craftsmen and soldiers started together, and after a while, cloud ladders, flying bridges, nest cars, catapult cars, Lu Gong cars, and crashing cars continued to appear under Xiangping City.

Looking at the neat rows of ordnance under the city, Gongsun Du's face suddenly darkened. Gritted his teeth, he said, "Defend with all your might!" There are those who dare to fight and kill it! ”

Liu Bei has led troops for many years, and he pursued two concepts in the war: discipline and equipment. With powerful equipment suppression, you can minimize your own casualties. With strong discipline in the army, in the event of defeat, it is possible to ensure that defeat will not be routed, and defeat will not be chaotic. In the era of cold weapons, there were few wars of annihilation, and when one side was basically defeated, the troops collapsed, and the main general could not be restrained if he wanted to. We can only wait for the soldiers to calm down on their own. As for the fact that one or two soldiers went crazy and caused the whole army to bomb the camp, it happened from time to time. Therefore, Liu Bei has always emphasized discipline since he came into contact with the army. Then it is necessary to vigorously develop ordnance and equipment. A well-equipped and well-disciplined army is not easy to defeat the battle, right? This was Liu Bei's original idea. After all, no matter how powerful Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and others are, it is impossible for them to really fight alone.

When the arrows and gravel in the sky were whistling in the air, Gongsun Du knew that he still underestimated the Qingzhou army. Such a force, even if he defeats it this time, Xiangping will definitely pay an extremely tragic price. So what about next time, and what about next time? Who can stop the Qingzhou Army?

Not to mention that Gongsun Du's heart was shaken, even the defenders of Xiangping were also frightened. They are in the border areas, and they can be regarded as having experienced war. However, in all wars, they either defended against foreign tribes or attacked foreign tribes. Have you ever seen such a siege method by the elite of the Central Plains? The golden drums under the city shook the sky, the armor soldiers were jolting, the rain of arrows and stones was deadly, and under the cover of the giant shield, a team of soldiers also moved quickly towards the moat with the flying bridge.

What is this on wheels? Nima: This is not a ladder, this is a bridge over a moat......

Xiangping City is not a vegetarian, fire oil, hot water, ash bottles, gold juice, etc. have been prepared, just wait for the Qingzhou army to attack the city, they will give them a good look.

Who would have thought that the archers would get tired of shooting their arms, so they would retreat back to rest, while the catapults kept running. More than 10,000 troops stood under the city like a forest, although they were not launched, but they also caused great psychological pressure on the soldiers and civilians in the city. One by one, they are tense and ready to watch out for the siege of these guys.

As a result, after an afternoon of stone rain in the afternoon, Huang Zhong Mingjin withdrew his troops and went back to the camp for dinner. Gongsun Du stood on the city tower for an afternoon, frightened, tired, outside the city after the Qingzhou army collected troops, Gongsun Du breathed a sigh of relief, then walked out, and then looked at the city wall, oh my God, is this still my Xiangping City?

Along the walls of the city, there was black smoke and collapsed houses. Although he also ordered the people in this area to relocate, but this was too completely destroyed, right? The potholes on the city wall were full of potholes, but Gongsun Du didn't care much about it. As for the soldiers and civilians who died under the rain of arrows and rubble of the Qingzhou army, there were also hundreds.

Huang Zhong returned to the barracks and said to Guan Yu, Tai Shici and others: "Let's fight like this for two or three days, except for the water gate, surrounded on three sides." If they don't come out, they will attack the city with a large army. ”

This is also what everyone has discussed before. First, use a catapult to create pressure on Gongsun Du every day to see if he can force Gongsun Du to go out of the city for a decisive battle. After all, the siege of the city is to be filled with the lives of the soldiers. They followed Liu Bei for a long time and deeply realized Liu Bei's people-oriented concept and regarded the lives of soldiers as extremely important. Although Liu Bei also advocated that the brave win when they meet on a narrow road, in the siege war, it is better to avoid it as much as possible. After all, the ancestors and grandsons of the soldiers also said that if they go to the army to fight and plot, they will attack the city.

said that Gongsun Du returned home with a tense face, and before he could take two breaths, he hurriedly called his two sons in. As soon as Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong came in, and after seeing their father, they asked, "My lord, what is the matter with calling the child?" ”

Gongsun Du said: "Xiangping is estimated to be unable to keep it." I want to send you and others out of the city to find reinforcements, Kang'er, you sneak to Lelang. Gong'er, you go to Liaoyang. Without further ado, pack up and send your family out of the city, and then you can go. ”

Gongsun Kang was taken aback and said, "My lord, is there such a rush outside the city? Why do you want to help with your family? ”

Gongsun Du sighed: "My son, my father has already figured it out, with the power of Liaodong, how can Qingzhou be stopped?" is an ordinary father, and he is not Liu Xuande's opponent. Even if reinforcements come here, they will defeat the Qingzhou army. And how? Angered Liu Bei, he sent a large army to conquer me, and when the army pressed the border, my Liaodong would inevitably fall. ”

When Gongsun Kang heard this, he said: "Since it is difficult for Liaodong to stop Qingzhou, why don't you surrender?" ”

Gongsun Du said: "Everyone in Liaodong can descend, but I can't surrender." If I fall, I will die, and your life will not be saved. ”

Gongsun Kang exclaimed in surprise and said, "How can this be, I heard that Liu Bei has a benevolent temperament and a noble character, how can he not tolerate an adult?" ”

Gongsun Du sighed: "What if Liu Bei's reputation spreads all over the world, how can he tolerate me, a rebel minister?" He can tolerate it, but the court can't tolerate it. ”

Gongsun Du thought for a while and said: "I will fight to the death, you and Uncle Er sneak out of the city, and then your uncle will go to Liaoyang to recruit reinforcements, and the two Er brothers will protect the family and dive to Lelang." If I win this battle, I will send someone to find you, and if I lose, I will never come back, stay incognito, and live well in Lelang. ”

Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong only then knew that their father insisted on Xiangping, but he was pregnant with the will to die, and gave his brother life, and for a while, they couldn't help crying.
