"Damn it, Mr. Zhao Chu dares to mislead me, you thief, I swear to kill you! You thief, you will not die well..."
After all, Gongsun Du was a landlord. Although the news channels were somewhat blocked due to the resolute implementation of the fortification of the wall and the clearing of the country, the news that all the six cities in the north had surrendered was only half a day later than Gongsun Minglue. Of course, this was the case. Compared with Gongsun Ming's elation, Gongsun Du's reaction can only be described as furious. Under the fury of Thunder, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the copywriting were in bad luck. The extremely precious jade inkstone was stunned. He was smashed to pieces by him, and as soon as he showed such rage, all the civil and military officials in the hall could not help but tremble with fear. No one dared to say a word of advice at this time, and they all acted as if they were wooden figures.
"Report, my lord, it's bad, the vanguard of the bandit army has arrived outside the west gate."
Just when Gongsun Du was furious, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and a captain on duty hurried up to the hall, saluted Gongsun Du, and then reported something.
"Hey... let's go and take a look!"
Hearing that the Youzhou Army was attacking in large numbers, Gongsun Du's anger was immediately replaced by panic. With his heart palpitating, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. It was only because the city was deep enough that it could be considered... He didn't lose his temper too much, and he didn't care to scold Zhao Chu for his betrayal any more. He stood up suddenly and walked towards the hall. Upon seeing this, all the civil and military officials did not dare to delay for a moment, and they all gathered together. Then he followed closely, and the group of people galloped towards the west city with great force...
The Youzhou Army had indeed arrived. Not just the front army, but the main force of hundreds of thousands had all overwhelmed Shenshui. However, they did not launch a rush attack, but began to set up camp three miles away from the city. As for Gongsun Ming himself led more than 15,000 cavalry in formation to cover the encampment of his own army.
"Lord, look quickly, there is movement on the top of the city."
Ling Feng's eyes were very good. Gongsun Du and a large number of civil and military personnel had just appeared in the city. Ling Feng had already taken a look and reminded Gongsun Ming.
"Oh, Gongsun Du should be here to watch the enemy's formation. Li Ang, I will lead three thousand bow cavalry forward immediately to give Gongsun Du a meeting gift."
Gongsun Mingxun glanced at the top of the city. Although he could not clearly see the appearance of the group of people on the top of the city due to the distance, he could tell from the vaguely discernible clothing that these people must be Gongsun Du. There is no doubt that his confidants are civil and military. Gongsun Ming's mouth immediately showed a few joking smiles, and he gave the general's order loudly with a wave of his hand.
"I will obey your orders!"
Li Ang was already eager to give it a try. Hearing Gongsun Ming's order, he did not hesitate. As soon as he promised, he led three thousand archers and roared out of the formation, rushing towards the city wall. past.
"Um?"
Seeing such a small unit suddenly rushing out of the Youzhou Army's cavalry formation, Gongsun Du couldn't help but frown. He really couldn't understand how such a small group of cavalry could do such a good job. , In fact, Gongsun Du was not the only one who didn't know what was going on. Gongsun Kang and others who were following him also had blank expressions on their faces.
"The whole army is here, turn left, get your bow, and shoot for me!"
Li Ang naturally wouldn't pay attention to the doubts of Gongsun Du and others. All he could do was explain it with actions. No, when he ran all the way to a distance of only about 70 steps from the city wall, he only heard Li Ang's voice At the command, the three thousand horse archers began to turn sharply in one unified motion, drawing a wonderful arc and running parallel to the city wall.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
While galloping, the three thousand bow cavalry rounded up the hard bows in their hands almost at the same time, and without any ceremony, they shot waves of arrows at the top of the city.
"Shield Blader cover!"
Seeing the Youzhou archers firing arrows to attack the city, Gongsun Du didn't dare to take it lightly. He shouted loudly, and a large number of shield swordsmen quickly rushed in front of Gongsun Du and others, and quickly formed a formation. A shield array was formed to block the arrow rain of Youzhou horsemen.
Although the archery skills of the Youzhou archers are extremely superb, it is obviously impossible to hit Gongsun Du and others who are covered by a shield formation at a distance of about sixty steps from the city. However, Li Ang is He didn't take it seriously at all. After a round of arrow rain, he never turned around and came back. Instead, he circled the city at high speed and continued to shoot the arrow rain bundled with leaflets into the city.
"My lord, the arrows shot by the thieves are all tied with paper. Please take a look, lord."
Just when Gongsun Du was still wondering about the purpose of the Youzhou archers' attack, he saw a captain on duty jumping up behind him, holding an arrow tied with paper, and said with great respect Reported a sentence.
"You bastard, you are so rude. How dare you bully me like this? Come here, send me an order to collect the leaflets shot by the bandits. Anyone who dares to spread them privately will be killed without mercy!"
Hearing what the famous captain said, Gongsun Du didn't dare to be careless. He quickly grabbed the arrow, broke the string binding the paper, spread out the small roll of paper, and only glanced at it a few times. , his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he roared with rage.
Gongsun Du's order was issued in a timely manner. Unfortunately, Li Ang's troops shot too many leaflets into the city, and they were shot from all directions. Even Gongsun Du had already issued a strict order. , but how can it be completely suppressed in a short period of time? No, it is not yet dark, and the contents of the Youzhou Army's letter to persuade them to surrender have already spread among the 100,000 soldiers and civilians near Xiangping, and the six cities in the north are related. The news of the surrender undoubtedly severely dampened the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city, and the news about Gongsun Duen's evil deeds of revenge, assassinating his adoptive father Gongsun Xi's family, young and old, and taking Gongsun Yu's concubines and daughters as concubines spread even more widely. Those who knew about this secretly scolded Gongsun Du for his shamelessness.
Faced with the fluctuation of people's hearts in the city, Gongsun Du completely lost his sense of control and raised the butcher knife without hesitation. He sent troops overnight to arrest dozens of people who were suspected of spreading rumors. Without interrogation, he was arrested the next day. Caishikou killed all the suspects and exposed their bodies in the city to warn the soldiers and civilians in the city. Although this move temporarily suppressed the spread of rumors in the city, it undoubtedly had a severe impact on the morale of the army. There is no doubt that The two armies have not officially fought yet. The Liaodong Army is at an absolute disadvantage. Once the war goes slightly unfavorable, there will be many defectors. In this sense, the great gift Gongsun Ming gave can be said to be It's a benefit but not expensive, of course. Gongsun Ming was happy with the gift, but Gongsun Du was extremely unhappy after receiving the gift...
