The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

Chapter 162

Gongsun Lian observed the Qi soldiers below and did not look back. "General, wait a moment. You will know in a moment."

When the army was within the range of the trebuchets, they first used ordinary trebuchets to hit the Qi soldiers, and the archers fired a volley, temporarily suppressing the Qi attack.

Liu Zicheng was more than capable of talking about war on paper, but this was his first time actually commanding a war.

Liu Zicheng's scalp felt numb when he saw casualties and casualties, and when he saw the Qi soldiers below continuously rushing forward.

"Brother Gongsun, when do you think we will be able to repel Qi's attack this time?" Liu Zicheng couldn't bear to be reserved and couldn't help but ask.

Gongsun Lian turned to look at Liu Zicheng and smiled, "That's fine tonight."

Hearing this, Liu Zicheng's expression changed slightly. Just because he is not good at fighting does not mean that he is not good at reasoning. "Brother Gongsun, when will Major General Huo come back?"

"Soon." Gongsun Lian replied.

Although Liu Zicheng felt a little relieved, he still felt that something was wrong, "Brother Gongsun, are you hiding something from me?"

Gongsun Lian smiled and said, "It's not like I'm hiding it from you. Whether you admit it or not, you are not good at fighting. This is a fact."

Liu Zicheng confirmed that Gongsun Lian and Huo Yingjie must be hiding something from him.

"The war is coming, what are you hiding from me?" Liu Zicheng knew that he was not good at fighting, but he was a general and had the right to know all the actions.

The smile on Gongsun Lian's face faded a little, "The purpose of your coming here is clear to both you and me. If you want military exploits, then the military exploits will be yours."

"War is not a child's play. I won't tell you because I want to keep it a secret. Is the peach red girl next to you a workmanship of Qi State?"

"You know, if you spill the beans and ruin the entire plan, all your efforts will be in vain. If Zhenxi Pass is lost, neither you nor I will end well, and we may even lose our lives."

Liu Zicheng, who was still arrogant at first, couldn't refute when he heard Taohong's name. It was Urgan's men who confessed it.

The evidence was conclusive and Liu Zicheng was irrefutable, "But..."

"When did you, Liu Zicheng, pay attention to the process? Don't you value the results most?" Gongsun Lian asked back, "Didn't you already plan to wait until the war is over to inform His Majesty of some of our concealment actions?"

Liu Zicheng was even more embarrassed, but he was thick-skinned and had been immersed in officialdom for so many years, so he showed no timidity at all.

"If you beg me, I don't have to tell His Majesty the truth."

Gongsun Lian smiled and said, "You'd better report it truthfully, report everything we did, and let His Majesty reprimand and punish us."

"Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's wrath?" Liu Zicheng was shocked and felt that Gongsun Lian was more difficult to deal with than before. He was just a copper and steel bean that could not be steamed or boiled.

Gongsun Lian smiled bitterly, "Punishment is nothing, life is the most important thing."

One sentence made Liu Zicheng silent.

The Huo family has great achievements, so His Majesty is worried.

Now they use self-defeating methods. Even if they make meritorious deeds, they will leave traces of their mistakes, and the merits and demerits will be offset by the time.

"In that case, I will let you get your wish." Liu Zicheng looked angry, but his voice was low and gentle, "Don't worry, I will not deny your loyalty to Dayan."

Gongsun Lian nodded, "I will also give you a big victory to consolidate your position. After all, you are here to be the father of the country."

Liu Zicheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Tonight we will let go of our past grievances and fight against the enemy together. Tomorrow we will continue to fight!"

At this moment, Liu Zicheng and Gongsun Lian seemed to have returned to the time when they took the scientific examination together.

Everyone read together, chatted together, and recited poems together.

They are both gifted by nature. Although they are not convinced by each other, they admire each other's talents very much.

That kind of youth and unbridled spirit is really nostalgic.

After about an hour, a scout came to report. "Military advisor, all the Qi soldiers have passed through the canyon! Our people have already set up ambush and traps in the canyon and outside the canyon."

Hearing this, Gongsun Lian's eyes lit up, "Okay, great, let's start throwing now."

After saying that, the well-trained soldiers carried several baskets of large round lumps and placed them on the trebuchet.

Liu Zicheng was shocked. Looking at these strange "stones", there was actually a long "beard".

"Brother Gongsun, what is this?"

Gongsun Lian was proud and said, "You will know soon."

The soldiers lit their "beards" and then started the trebuchet. Under the action of the trebuchet, a stone with sparks drew a spark in the air and was thrown out.

After these round lumps fell to the ground, they hit a running Qi soldier. They exploded with a bang, and then a burst of thick smoke, accompanied by screams, instantly resounded throughout the battlefield.

The catapult kept changing directions and distances, and began to throw "black lumps" outside.

Only the continuous loud noise of "rumbling" was heard, which not only shocked the soldiers on the city wall, but also shocked the attacking Qi soldiers.

Some were directly killed, and some were injured by the explosive shell of the "Black Pimple" and the iron beads inside.

When Teng Ge heard the loud noise and saw the soldiers in a mess, his face changed slightly with fright, and he shouted loudly: "Uncle Wang, something is wrong!"

Sa Riman didn't know why, "How could the rocks in Dayan catch fire? And would there be such a loud noise?"

Teng Ge was also curious, but now was obviously not the time to be curious, so he quickly said: "Uncle Wang, let's retreat quickly. If it's too late, I'm afraid all the soldiers will die."

Sa Riman also realized that something was wrong and "ordered the withdrawal of troops!"

This seemed to be a trap, deliberately leading them to attack the city.

The soldiers who were charging forward were already scared to death.

Now that he heard that it was time to withdraw, Sayazi ran back.

They didn't want to be hit by the exploding stone and wanted to survive.

They retreated very quickly for a while. After they entered the valley, the people who had been ambushing them began to shoot arrows and throw black "iron pineapples" down.

This time it was Huo Yingjie who led the troops, with tacit cooperation and skillful movements.

Sa Riman and Teng Ge, who were retreating, looked horrified. They had really been ambushed and deceived.

The opponent is in a favorable position, and now there is no other possibility except running away.

"Retreat and break out." Teng Ge was shocked and immediately ordered.

When you come, line up in an orderly manner.

When escaping, and under such a terrifying ambush attack, the Qi soldiers panicked and chose their way out.

Terrified, he ran away.

Someone fell down, cows and horses were frightened and ran around, and not surprisingly there was a stampede.

The screams, neighing, and fear of the unknown made the Qi soldiers completely lose their combat effectiveness.

There is no other option except running away.

Sa Riman looked horrified. This time, he was destined to be defeated.

If this continues, how many of the 13 soldiers we brought will be left behind?
