Chapter 335 Cao Jun, you don't talk about martial arts
Gao Gan's face gradually darkened as he listened to the discussion of these people.
Good guys, you are already getting scared even before Lu Yan's army comes. If Lu Yan really comes with his army, wouldn't you have to surrender directly?
When the wind was blowing, Jiangshan was in high spirits, but now he heard that Lu Yan was coming to conquer them, and he immediately began to waver. Before the battle, he didn't think about how to kill the enemy, but instead repeatedly shirked his responsibility. What big things could such a team accomplish?
But when the senior cadre thought about it again, his future and hope now rested with this group of people. If he broke up with them, he would be done with it. Therefore, although the senior cadre was annoyed now, he did not dare to get angry with them at will.
, if you scold someone so much that you just give up your job, then he really won’t be able to find a place to cry.
After taking a deep breath, Gao Gan calmed down the anger in his heart and said in as calm a tone as possible: "Everyone, since Lu Yan wants to guard Bingzhou and come to Hedong County to fight with us, his troops and baggage will definitely not be too large.
many.
As long as we can quickly pacify the area west of Hedong and Hongnong before his army arrives, then if we rely on the strong city to defend it, we can kill Lu Yan even if we are wasted!"
Gao Gan's words were like a shot in the arm, giving great encouragement to this group of rebels.
But at this time, someone else said: "Yishi is also a big city. The city is strong and we may not be able to capture it for a while. And behind us, Du Ji's army comes out to harass us from time to time. It may not be difficult to capture Yishi County.
So small!”
This person's worries are not unreasonable.
When Gao Gan heard this, he looked at Zhang Baiqi, his most powerful general at the moment, and asked: "Is there any way, General Zhang, to quickly capture the Yi clan?"
"???" Zhang Baiqi was stunned by Gao Gan's sudden question, and was a little confused for a moment.
He is good at robbing homes, killing people and setting fires; he really has no idea about the delicate work of planning a battle...
Before, Dongyuan only had four to five thousand weak defenders, and it took him several days to defeat it. Now the Yi family has ten thousand or eight thousand defenders, plus Du Ji who is fighting guerrillas outside...
"This..." After thinking for a while, Zhang Baiqi's mind was still blank... As a last resort, he could only look at Fan Xian and Wei Gu, who had contacted him before to do important things together, and asked: "You two
Sir, do you have a way to break the city?"
"???" Fan Xian and Wei Gu were also confused.
Isn't this special senior official asking you? Why are you asking about us instead?
Besides, there’s nothing you can do, and there’s really nothing we can do!
Gao Gan looked at the three silent people in front of him and felt really angry and wanted to laugh.
When they first formed an alliance, everyone in this group boasted loudly, as if everyone was the reincarnation of Lu Yan or the rebirth of Lu Bu... Now, they have just encountered a problem that is not too big and their minds are filled with nothing.
Dangdang, they are really a bunch of idiots who only know how to talk but not do anything.
Gao Gan's chest heaved violently, and he kept warning himself in his heart: "I still need their troops...bear with it, bear with it some more! Bear with it!!!"
Suppressing the anger in his heart again, Gao Gan still tried his best to maintain a calm tone and said: "In any case, we have to speed up the march. We must capture the Yi clan as soon as possible and further seize the entire territory of Hedong. Then we will hold on to the city.
As soon as Hongnong's reinforcements arrive, Lu Yan will have no choice but to walk around without food!"
Zhang Baiqi, Fan Xian, and Wei Gu really had no other choice but to nod and agree to the high-ranking officials' arrangement. Whether the city could be broken was another matter. They had to get under the city first, right?
But now another question came up, so Wei Gu said: "There is still a rugged mountain road ahead, and Du Ji might set an ambush somewhere ahead..."
After all, they are still unwilling to sacrifice their own vitality. No one wants to take the lead in exploring the road. Their selfish thoughts are fully exposed.
"How about we wait for news about Hongnong's friendly forces? If the reinforcements from Hongnong can arrive, the Yi family will definitely be able to capture it!" Wei Gu suddenly said.
"Hongnong's forces are still fighting against the Dayang defenders. By the time they arrive, the flowers will be cold!" Fan Xian shook his head and denied it directly.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"You ask me, I ask who to go to..."
These people talked and started to argue again.
Zhang Baiqi couldn't stand it any longer and was unwilling to take the lead. He couldn't let the 5,000 elite cavalrymen go, right? His cavalry had to be reserved to deal with Lu Yan.
"General Chariot and Cavalry, the last general is willing to be the vanguard and open the way for the army!" In the end, it was Zhang Baiqi who took on all the...
The senior officials breathed a sigh of relief. This group of powerful people from aristocratic families is not even as good as a Yellow Turban leader. Aren't you ashamed?
However, when Fan Xian, Wei Gu and others heard that Zhang Baiqi volunteered to be a pioneer to explore the road, they all breathed a sigh of relief, not to mention the feeling of shame. If he and Zhang Baiqi were not here, they might all have
Clapping hands to celebrate...
Zhang Baiqi's strength should be one of the top among all rebel armies. Their weapons and armor may not be as sophisticated as the armies controlled by powerful families, but regardless of their combat experience or courage, these Yellow Turban Army must throw off this group of
How many levels does the old soldier have?
...
At the same time, Xu Huang was already on the last day of the three-day siege period.
It's a pity that all the explosives Lu Yan brought to Jizhou have been used up, and it's too late to mobilize them from Chenliu now... Otherwise, if there were explosives, the fight wouldn't have been so difficult.
In the first two days, Xu Huang continued to carry out trebuchet bombings three times in the morning, noon and evening. After the bombing, he launched a forcible siege of the city.
Moreover, when the soldiers attack the city, they will definitely beat drums, trumpets, and shouts of killing, and the sound will shake the sky. It seems that even if they cannot break the city, they must suppress the opponent's momentum.
Huguan City, the governor's mansion.
The governor's mansion was far away from the city wall where Cao's army was attacking, so it could avoid flying rocks.
After figuring out Cao Jun's route in the past two days, Xia Zhao will come to the governor's mansion in advance to wait.
But now, Xia Zhao has been waiting in the governor's mansion for a long time, but there has been no movement outside the city.
After walking back and forth a few times, Xia Zhao shouted outside: "Here comes someone! What time is it now?"
Hearing Xia Zhao's question, the guards waiting outside quickly ran in and replied: "General, it's three o'clock in the morning!"
When he heard that it was already three quarters of the hour, Xia Zhao was slightly surprised and said, "It's already so late?"
Later, Xia Zhao murmured to himself: "Then why hasn't Cao Jun made any movement today?"
Just when Xia Zhao was wondering why Cao Jun's trebuchet hadn't moved yet,
As if to answer Xia Zhao's doubts, a messenger suddenly stumbled in from outside: "General! General! It's a disaster! It's a disaster!"
The orderly soldier was running and shouting. When he ran into the hall, he accidentally tripped his left foot and his right foot, and fell to his death with a "pop" sound.
Xia Zhao strode up, picked up the messenger and said, "Tell me, what happened?"
