King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 80 Fighting Gongsundu (3)

Li Lin teased, "Then what did they tell you to watch? Look at that, it's like you molested their family members!"

Tai Shici curled his lips and said, "Hmph! What will happen to him if you let me go down to the city? Yuan Jie!"

Li Lin looked at Liu Yi who was cursing and nodded, "Well, go ahead, this grandson will scold his mother soon, be careful!"

Tai Shici bowed his hands and said, "No!" After saying that, he rode out of the city.

Tai Shici pointed at Liu Yi with a spear in his hand and said, "Who are you? How do you know my name?"

Seeing Tai Shici, Liu Yi became angry, said something, and directly killed Tai Shici, Taishi Ci blocked Liu Yi with a horizontal gun, and shouted, "I will not kill the unknown general!"

Liu Yi roared, "Huh! I swear to kill you!"

Having said that, Tai Shici realized that such a kid was acting aggressive that day, and Tai Shici didn't talk nonsense, so he stabbed Liu Yi with a horizontal gun. Tai Shici's opponent, after a few rounds, Liu Yi couldn't hold on anymore, and he lost his arrogance long ago. Tai Shici stabbed him with a spear, and Liu Yi fended off and rode away. Tai Shici smiled and shouted, "The thief will see Halberd!" He took off the iron halberd behind his back and flew towards Liu Yi.

"Ah!" The iron halberd was directly inserted into the back of Liu Yi's heart, and Liu Yi fell off the horse. He couldn't die anymore. The two brothers Liu Yi and Bei Yan died under Tai Shici's flying halberd.

Seeing Liu Yi being killed in the battle, Gongsun Du roared angrily, "You actually killed my beloved general, all the soldiers obey the order and attack in an all-round way!"

Tai Shici saw that the enemy had already attacked, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he rode his horse back to the city.

As soon as Tai Shici returned to the city, the enemy army arrived. Xu Liang shouted in the trench, "Archers are ready!"

Gongsun Du watched clearly from behind, stroked his beard and said, "Hmph! It's still an old trick."

At the head of Le Lang City, Yan Rou suddenly exclaimed, "Look, Yuan Jie, what is that!"

Li Lin looked in the direction Yan Rou was pointing at, and gritted his teeth, "It turned out to be a grain cart. We reduced their grain and grass, and their grain cart is useless!"

Li Lin exclaimed secretly in his heart, "Sure enough, I didn't expect it. Fortunately, the arrangements have been made." '

The first row of Gongsun Du's army was not soldiers, but grain carts lined up closely, with sacks filled with hay and kerosene poured on them. The arrows of Xu Liang's archers The lethality decreased a lot, and most of them were stopped by the grain trucks, and the arrows were stuck on the sacks.

Before Gongsundu's army arrived at the antlers, the soldiers put two carts on the antlers, and then set fire to the sacks. The antlers are made of wood, and they burned badly. Pushing away, Gongsundu's army of hundreds of years rushed over.

Xu Liang saw that the situation was not good and shouted, "All retreat along the road of laughter!" With an order, the soldiers retreated slowly. Li Lin made the blueprint of the trench into the shape of a mesh for a purpose, so that his soldiers could follow the path of laughter. Retreat on both sides, and above the two entrances of each row, use wooden boards to block a large amount of soil and gravel, and then fix the wooden boards with wooden sieves. When your own soldiers withdraw, the last person pulls out the wooden sieves , the soil and gravel will fall, sealing the road, which is also to prevent the enemy from jumping down the trench and walking along the passage.

Li Lin saw that the antlers had been destroyed, and the enemy army was about to rush into the first row of the trench. He shouted, "Archers on the top of the city, shoot me!" With an order, countless arrows on the top of the city flew towards Gongsun. Du's soldiers, Gongsun Du's soldiers quickly raised their shields and moved forward slowly.

When the enemy army reached the ditch, seeing that they could no longer move forward, they jumped directly into the ditch, "Ah!..." The enemy soldiers who jumped into the ditch screamed, Li Lin smiled and said from the top of the wall "This is the last gift I will give you! Hahaha!"

It turned out that in the trench, there was a row of sharpened wooden stakes erected obliquely, but why were Li Lin's soldiers okay inside? Because these wooden stakes were not fixed, they were connected together with wooden strips, and then separated by a few There is a tripod for every wooden post. Originally, these wooden posts were standing upright against the edge of the trench. After the soldiers withdrew, the last two soldiers moved together at both ends. Supported, so when Gongsundu's soldiers jumped down, they were directly injured by the sharp wooden stakes standing diagonally.

As soon as the siege army moved, there were tens of thousands of troops. The soldiers in the trench screamed, but the soldiers on the edge of the trench were squeezed down by the soldiers who were still rushing forward. It's shouting "Stop it! Stop it!"

But the soldiers can only move forward and cannot retreat. If they retreat, they will be killed directly as deserters, and Gongsundu's army was in chaos for a while.

Gongsun Du saw that his army was stagnant from the rear, and immediately shouted, "What's going on in front, go and see, and return quickly!"

Immediately, someone braved the arrows shot down from the city to investigate the situation at the front, and after a while, they reported back, "Master Hou, there are traps in the deep pit dug by the enemy ahead, and our army has suffered many casualties, that's why we stopped. !"

Gongsundu shouted, "I am an elite soldier in Liaodong, how can I be afraid of the trap, tell the front, even if it is filled with people, tell me to fill the deep pit!" Gongsundu was already furious, and no longer cared about the lives of the soldiers.

The counselors around him saw that it was not good, and immediately persuaded him, "Master Hou, it is really not worthwhile to waste the lives of soldiers in such a tasteless way. The antlers of the enemy army have been damaged today, and the role of the deep pit is useless. Tomorrow, you only need to use sandbags to attack the city." Just fill the pit, there is no need to consume the lives of soldiers like this!"

Gongsun Du thought for a while and said, "Okay, okay! Withdraw the troops!"

In front, Gongsundu's soldiers had already filled the pits in the first row. The trenches dug by Li Lin were spaced apart so that the enemy couldn't jump over them, so Gongsundu's soldiers could still step on them. Zuize's body continued to jump to the ditch in the second row, and then there was another scream...

Finally hearing the sound of withdrawing troops, Gongsundu's soldiers heaved a long sigh, looked at the corpse of Zuize all over the place, lamented that he was still alive, and hurried back to the base camp.

In this battle, Tai Shici stood up to Gongsun Du's general Liu Yi, and defeated Gongsun Du's many soldiers. There was cheering on the top of the city, only Li Lin frowned deeply, and Xu Liang, who had just withdrawn, looked at Tai Shici and the others. Looking at Li Lin's expression is very strange.

Xu Liang asked, "General, our army repelled the enemy today without any casualties. Why are you not happy at all?"

Li Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Hehe, although we killed many enemy troops today, and Ziyi also beheaded Gongsundu's favorite general, all our arrangements under the city have been leaked. If Gongsundu comes to attack the city tomorrow We no longer have any advantage, and directly confront Gongsun Du!"

Tai Shi said kindly, "Hmph! What are you afraid of head-on? Our morale is high now, and we will definitely repel Gongsundu! And now that the food and grass in Gongsundu's camp are exhausted, we have to wait for Liaodong's callback, and wait until Hou Yu..."

Li Lin immediately stopped Tai Shici from speaking, and said, "Okay, okay! Since we won today and everyone has worked hard, go down and have a rest! I will stay at the top of the city for a while."

When everyone went down to the top of the city, Li Lin supported the top of the city with both hands. He looked at the whole area below the city beyond recognition. The two rows of trenches he dug were almost filled with corpses. When was he already familiar with these tragic appearances and the strong smell of blood in the air, Li Lin said meaningfully to the dead enemy soldiers below the city, "Tell me, what are you all doing for?... ..."

In Gongsundu's camp, Gongsundu was still grumpy and complaining, and there were people around to persuade him, but there was another good news.

"Master Hou, our siege engine is ready!"

When Gongsun Du heard this, he immediately regained his energy, patted the table and said, "Okay! The siege vehicle is ready, and tomorrow will be the day to take down Le Lang!" Effective, Gongsun Du had ordered craftsmen to build it a long time ago, and now that the siege vehicle is finished, Gongsun Du has a lot of confidence.

Gongsun Du hurriedly ordered all the soldiers to rest quickly. Since Tai Shici attacked the camp a while ago, Gongsun Du's army divided into two groups to rest every night. In case Tai Shici came to steal the camp again, there were a large number of guarding soldiers all night.

On the second day, Li Lin led the generals to stand at the top of the city. Li Lin was still wearing a green shirt, a thin armor inside, and a long sword on his waist, waiting for Gongsun Du's army to attack.

At this moment, Yan Rou came over to Li Lin and said, "General, Master Bing Yuan has sent us a thousand soldiers!"

Li Lin raised his eyebrows, "Oh? We already have quite a few soldiers here, why are they sent here again, don't they need to be used by the other sects?"

Yan Judao: "General, a few days ago when Gongsun Du's army attacked the city, the other gates were indeed feigned attacks. Gongsun Du is sitting at the west gate, and he just wants to break into Le Lang from us!"

Li Lin nodded and said, "Originally he could have switched to attacking other sects, so he was under a lot of pressure, but now we have burned his food and killed Gongsundu's favorite general, he will definitely not attack other sects." The door is closed, and we are going to smash it with us!"

Everyone nodded fiercely. Li Lin looked at the drooping heads of some soldiers in Lelang City. Li Lin saluted them, and then said sharply, "Our army is not defeated yet, why are you acting like this?" ?” Those Le Lang soldiers raised their heads and looked straight at Li Lin.

"We must remember!" Li Lin slammed the stone on the city wall and shouted loudly, "The key to defending Lelang City and our loved ones is not the city wall! It's us!"

"The city wall falls, and we become the city wall! We are the key to victory!"

"Think about the wife and children at home! They... are equal to me!"

As soon as Li Lin finished his last sentence, the killing intent of the soldiers became more and more intense. Tai Shici, Xu Liang, Yan Rou, and Yan Zhi shouted without losing time, "Defend Le Lang with my flesh and blood!"
