Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 414 Gourd Formation

According to modern history, it was not the tsar's army that destroyed the Napoleonic Empire, but Russia's cruel winter. Even the emperor Napoleon, who was invincible across Western Europe, fell in the cruel ice and snow, which shows the great impact of cold winter on the army.

When the first snow falls, even the warriors of the Gongsun family who have lived in Liaodong for a long time cannot avoid the influence of the severe cold. The information leaked from the mouth of Chen Rong, a big monkey with a simple mind and well-developed limbs, is that the leading general of the other party is General Xinchang, the uncle of Pingzhou Mugong Sun Kang. Gongsunzhi ordered the besieging army of Gongsun's family to retreat three li and set up camp on the spot.

For two or three days in a row, this army did not launch an attack on Lianjiao City.

In fact, on the first day of the Battle of the North Gate, Gongsun's army had already lost the determination to win Lianjiao City. He sent Hu Han soldiers this time in the early 2000s, and he was shot to death and wounded at the gate of the city in one attack. More than [-] people were recruited, and Liaodong is still very backward in this era. Even if Liaodong is full of savages, the Gongsun family has no experience in attacking fortified cities a few times. In Jiaocheng, the Gongsun family really lacked the means and equipment to attack the city.

Each of them was made of fur, which was somewhat similar to the yurts of later generations. In the leather tents of later generations, several Liaodong soldiers huddled together, shivering and roasting their hands around a choking firepit. In terms of morale, it was actually low to a certain extent.

I believe that even if Wang Hou sends people out of the city to wander around and shoot a burst of arrows, Gongsun Zhi will be able to order the withdrawal of the army on the grounds that the battle is desperate and the outcome will not be decided.

However, after more than ten days, Wang Hou was like a tortoise, that is, he could not move when he was huddled in Lianjiaocheng, and he was not even given the steps.In just one attack like this, thousands of people died, and they retreated to Xiangping disheartened. Not to mention the face of the Gongsun family, even Gongsunzhi himself couldn't explain it, so he had to stay under Lianjiao City to die in the cold. Waiting for Wang Hou to attack.

But Gongsun Zhi, who stomped his numb feet and looked at the big turtle shell and cursed, didn't know that Wang Hou had indeed made a move, but it didn't happen as he expected.

Blowing by the heart-wrenching sea breeze, the large Qingzhou ships moored in Lianjiao Port were also covered with a thin layer of ice. Wearing thick cotton gloves with cables tied around their waists, they climbed up to the mainmast with difficulty. The sailors held hammers Ding Ding knocking against the cold in the cold, frozen into the cable lock of ice cubes.

The shards of ice fell, and the newly activated pulleys rubbed against the hardened cables, and the heavy sail was hoisted high again, facing the rare warm sun, Fifteen Qingzhou main sailboats rushed out aggressively along the tiger's mouth.

Standing on the boat, holding the railing with both hands wearing leather gloves, while watching the sea scenery with the first snow, Zhao Yun was breathing out to warm the air.

Wang Tuqiu, the immediate boss, was really able to hold his breath. It was not until before the expedition that he revealed the strategy this time. Hearing his strategic goals, Zhao Yun couldn't help but take a deep breath while secretly helping the Gongsun family. There was a 3-minute silence.

It's not good to offend anyone, but the narrow-minded Wang Tiangao!

But no matter how miserable the Gongsun family is, it's none of my business!Suddenly, more than a dozen sailors yelled and turned the sails, and the heavy ship made a [-]-degree turn amidst the creaking of wood. Looking at the suddenly bright sea, Zhao Yun clenched his fists again. Next, let out a sinister snort.

In the era of cold weapons, the most extreme army was Genghis Khan's Mongolian army, which swept across the Eurasian continent, marched tens of thousands of miles, and slaughtered as many as [-] million people. One of the secrets of the success of the Mongolian army is to compress the army's logistics to the extreme.

The tribes drove the livestock and walked with the army, grazing while walking, directly supplying the army, and the Mongolian warriors had one man, two horses or even three horses, one horse fought, and two horses carried food, marching while robbing. Under the bloody war, the obtained Even Alexander the Great, the most famous military strategist in the West, can't forget his achievements.

Compared with the ultimate Mongolian cavalry, the Yan army of Gongsun's family is obviously far behind, and they also need to eat!In order to support 2 people from the Liaohe Plain to conquer Lianjiao City at the corner of the Liaodong Peninsula, Gongsun Kang mobilized tens of thousands of people to transport grain southward across hundreds of miles from the fertile Liaohe Plain. Most of Liaodong County.

It was also this supply line that made Wang Hou stunned when he learned that Gongsun Kang sent troops to attack him!

The Gongsun family established roots and Liaohe, and it is a typical farming regime, but he is not.

The terrain of Dalian City in later generations is quite unique. It is completely the thinnest point of the Liaodong Peninsula that extends into the sea. The sea is in the front, left and right. Moreover, Jinzhou City, which is connected to the Liaodong Peninsula, is actually narrow, with only a few kilometers of land connection. , and the narrow terrain is uneven, the remaining veins of the Dahei Mountain rise from the middle of the isthmus, dividing the Jinzhou Land Bridge into three parts, and only two coastal plains in the east and west can be used by large troops.

Although the iron and steel handicraft industry is underdeveloped, it is located in Liaodong after all, next to the nomads. The animal husbandry of Gongsun's family is really good. Along the coastal plain under the Xiaohei Mountain, thousands of people are leading cattle and horses, carrying heavy grain buckets, and are bored. The head moved forward in an endless stream.

Suddenly a Liaodong Minzhuang let go of the cow he was leading, clutched his crotch and slipped out of the queue in three steps and two steps, facing the vast sea, splashing a stream of heat.

But just finished humming a little tune and was about to tighten his pants, suddenly the man's hands froze on the waistband of his trousers, and he stared into the sea with round eyes in astonishment.

slap~

The back of the head was hit suddenly, and immediately the captain's annoyed shout sounded from behind, pointing at his nose and baring his teeth, he began to yell and curse.

"Fucking lazy again! If you don't go back quickly, if I catch you again, I will beat you with dozens of army sticks!"

"But..., but the head! Yes! There are sea monsters!"

"Fuck it, don't fool me, I'm so big, I haven't seen the sea..., the sea..., the sea..., damn it! There really are sea monsters!"

Hearing the trembling voice of his subordinates, as soon as he was angry, he was about to kick over, but before his feet fell, the bearded man's eyeballs couldn't help but stare round, and he screamed out in horror.

Following his roar, those Liaodong Minzhuang who were still escorting the military rations couldn't stay any longer, and made do in groups of threes and twos to the towering sandy shore, looking stupidly into the sea.

As they looked around, sea monsters with pointed heads bared their teeth and claws a few miles away, and rushed to the shore viciously. Then, small black dots spit out from the mouth of the sea monsters, rushing towards them with heavy footsteps. The direction rapidly increased, and after ten minutes of being stupid, the bearded Liaodong corporal roared mournfully.

"Cavalry! Enemy attack!"

It was too late, one by one, wearing steel helmets, and the protruding and curved breastplates on the chest were covered with a layer of hoarfrost in the severe cold weather, breathing white smoke from their mouths, and they had already rushed to the distance. 200 meters away!
Facing the westward setting sun, the long horse blades held by these armored cavalrymen reflected layers of cold light...
