"General, the common people are suffering. Born in these troubled times, life is worse than that of grass. Even if you sit at home, you can't escape disasters falling from the sky. Over the past ten years, man-made disasters and natural disasters have continued. It is really difficult to find a way to survive. Please be considerate, General." Let me wait, let us go to Youzhou to settle down and live, while I kowtow to the general."
Seeing Gongsun Ming treat him so kindly, the dozen white-haired old men kneeling at the front not only did not get up, but knelt down almost close to the ground. Only the oldest old man knelt down. He bowed his body towards Gongsun Ming and expressed his love with tears streaming down his face.
"My husband, you don't have to be like this. Just agree to it. Come on, please get up quickly. Please get up quickly."
Although he knew that the common people were being used by people with ulterior motives, Gongsun Ming didn't take it seriously. Not only did he not blame the elders, but he squeezed out a few lines of tears with emotion on his face. After promising, he even bent down and reached out to help the old man who was leading the group.
"The general is unparalleled in your kindness. The common people thank you for your great kindness."
The old man was helped up by Gongsun Ming, but tens of thousands of people all knelt down, and the sounds of praise and gratitude could be heard one after another.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, please rise up. Gongsun Ming swears here. As long as I am still breathing, I will never let my fellow villagers starve and freeze. Someone, please pass on the order: go to the logistics camp." All tents must be mobilized to ensure that the fellow villagers do not freeze along the way. If there are any shortages, they will be immediately removed from the army. In addition, Sun Mi is ordered to urgently transport a large number of tents and food from Bohai County, and there must be no mistakes!"
Acting naturally requires a complete performance. At this critical moment to win over the people's hearts, putting on a show is indispensable. Gongsun Ming is very familiar with this. After singing and singing, it can be said that his love for the people is clearly demonstrated. Get it thoroughly.
"Long live the General!"
"Long live, long live!"
"Thank you, General, for your kindness. I will die in return!"
As soon as Gongsun Ming made this statement, hundreds of thousands of people immediately cheered, and there were really not a few people shouting long live. After a while, more than 10,000 soldiers in the rearguard also started shouting, and then, the Chinese Tens of thousands of soldiers in the army and vanguard units were also affected by this, and the sound of long live the mountain like a tsunami resounded through the sky...
"Father, Tadun sent people to urge him again. He said that if he didn't attack the city, he would withdraw first. You see..."
On the ninth day of October, it had been five days since Gongsun Du's army arrived at Junmi City. However, apart from cutting down a large amount of wood to build siege equipment, they had not launched even a single exploratory attack on Junmi City. Tadun responded to this. Apparently he couldn't bear it anymore, and once again sent an ultimatum to the Liaodong Army. On such a major matter, Gongsun Kang did not dare to make any independent decisions. After sending the envoy away, he hurried to the Chinese army's tent. He asked Gongsun Du for instructions.
"Well, counting the time, it's almost time for Pang Tong's troops to arrive in Youzhou. Let's attack first and let Pang Tong go faster."
Although Gongsun Du didn't pay much attention to the combat power of the 50,000 cavalry troops under Tadun's command, they were chess pieces that could be exploited anyway. He couldn't really let Tadun withdraw like this. After all, after taking Youzhou, Gongsun Du planned to kill Tadun as well, so how could he let him escape easily from the palm of his hand.
"My father is wise."
Gongsun Du had always been uncompromising in the Liaodong Army. Once he made a decision, even Gongsun Kang would not dare to disobey it. At this time, even if Gongsun Kang had other ideas in his heart, he could only praise him respectfully.
"Well, please go and inform Old Man Tadun that the general attack will be launched early tomorrow morning. Our army will be responsible for the east and south cities. We will attack the north city with our troops and leave the west city empty. That's it. Let's go. "
Gongsun Du didn't pay attention to his son's flattering expression at all. He reached out and took a fruit from the fruit in front of him, gnawing leisurely while giving an order casually.
"My child obeys."
Since Gongsun Du was in trouble, Gongsun Kang did not dare to delay for a moment. As soon as he made his promise, he hurriedly withdrew from the Chinese army's tent and went to arrange relevant matters...
"Woo, woo, woo..."
On the tenth day of October, when the sun was just peeking out from the top of the mountain, a series of horn blasts suddenly sounded in the camp of Wu Heng and the Liaodong Army, and soon there were two camps. The gates of the camp were opened almost at the same time, and a large number of cavalry came out of the camp, pushing all kinds of siege equipment, and marched towards Junmi City in a mighty manner.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."
As soon as such a large-scale action by the two enemy forces came out, the garrison sentries on duty on the city top were immediately alerted. In an instant, urgent shouts and horns sounded wildly, and a large number of defenders were sent to the city. The soldiers quickly rushed out of the Tibetan Army Cave and other places under the command of generals at all levels, and rushed to the city.
"hiss……"
Lu Xiang lived and ate in the east city gate tower. Hearing something strange outside, he immediately rushed to the city gate. When he looked out, he saw two coalition forces with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses moving together. It was obvious that He was planning to launch a general attack. His heart sank and he couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air. He was immediately stunned on the spot.
"General Lu, the time for meritorious service has come. As long as we can survive today, our army will be victorious. When my lord returns, he will never treat the general badly."
Just when Lu Xiang's expression was gloomy and uncertain, he saw Gongsun Leng arriving beside him at some point and reminded Lu Xiang in a low voice.
"Ah, oh, I understand, don't worry."
Being interrupted by Gongsun Leng, Lu Xiang finally came to his senses. He looked at Gongsun Leng's face that was obviously full of murderous intent, and then looked at the hundreds of thousands of people outside the city who were pressing towards him. Between the two coalition forces, Lu Xiang finally gritted his teeth, pulled out the saber from his waist, pointed toward the outside of the city, and shouted sternly: "The whole army is listening to the order: For the safety of millions of elders in Youzhou, we will fight to the death. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed! Anyone who dares to fear the enemy and refuses to advance will be killed! Anyone who dares to delay doubts will be killed!"
"Fight to the death and never retreat, fight to the death and never retreat..."
Seeing that their leader was so brave, all the soldiers on the city garrison were in high spirits, and they all shouted loudly. The sound was like thunder, and the evil spirit rushed into the sky.
"Fight to the death? Hey, what a man to fight to the death. Come here, pass on the order: the front army will start attacking the city immediately!"
The shouts of the defenders on the city top never stopped, which annoyed Gongsun Du. Even if he just wanted to launch a wild attack in this battle, he could not allow the defenders to run rampant. As soon as the formation was ready, they didn't even bother to go through the usual procedure of sending people to shout. They immediately issued the order to attack. After a while, when they heard the rumble of drums from the Chinese Army, the Liaodong Army He took the lead in launching a massive battle against the city from the east and south directions...
