Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2285 The enemy of the enemy, the opponent of the opponent (plus more)

   Looking down from the gap between the arrow rain, even a fool can see Ding Lingren's next battle intention, Cao Hong almost immediately yelled, "Archers are ready!" Shoot the people who filled the river! 』

The horn sounded high-pitched, and Dingling's slave soldiers braved the arrows to throw mud bags back and forth frantically. Many people were shot by bows and arrows while running, and then the people behind stepped on his corpse and ran away. past.

The troops of Dingling also began to form. The cavalry and archers began to dismount and advance forward. Every ten assault soldiers held a ladder, and they were also on standby at the back. On the edge of each ladder, there was an assault team of 20 people. , basically holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, it is quite a posture of Han infantry climbing a city to fight.

   All these arrangements were made with the help of Gongsun Du.

  The sound of the drums above Jixian became more and more violent.

  As bag after bag of soil was thrown into the moat, these mud bags quickly piled up under the scour of the current without abundant running water in the north, and then formed a passage leading to the city...

  Boss Ding Ling waved his arms vigorously, the cannon fodder-like slave soldiers moved out of the way, and the soldiers of the assault formation roared, carrying the ladder, guarded by the shield soldiers on both sides, and charged forward!

  Cao Hong yelled, "Shoot! Free fire! 』

At the same time, Cao Hong raised his bow and arrow and aimed at the Ding Ling soldier in front of a ladder, and shot him to the ground with one arrow, and then shot two more people. The shield soldier wanted to take over, but more arrows were attracted, and he screamed and scrambled back, leaving behind a ladder and a dozen corpses.

The long arrows splashed down, and countless Ding Ling soldiers fell down immediately, but Ding Ling's archers also approached the city wall. When Cao Jun's target was transferred to the Yunti assault troops, they tilted their arrows madly towards the city wall. And because Ding Lingren's bow and arrow skills are better than those of the general Cao Jun, Cao Jun's archers also suffered a lot of casualties in a blink of an eye.

  Cao Jun's archers were forced to divert part of their bows and arrows to suppress the Ding Lingmen, but this meant that the assault troops were lax, allowing these assault Ding Ling soldiers to find some gaps and advance to the city.

  The leader of the Dingling people sent out the third wave of soldiers again. Countless Dingling people howled and rushed over like a tide. These people roared frantically, with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, they rushed towards the city wall at high speed.

  Cao Hong took the time to look at the other direction of the city wall. Le Jin was also howling loudly there, directing the soldiers to resist, while the higher mound seemed to be quiet...

  Cao Hong withdrew his eyes, looked at the Ding Lingmen rushing from the city, and encouraged the soldiers again, "Shoot!" shooting! do not be afraid! We can hold it! 』

  Dingling soldiers who were running were constantly being shot and fell down. The screams and shouts of killing filled the entire battlefield. Some Ding Ling people started to climb up the ladder, and then were quickly killed and fell down, rolling painfully on the root of the city wall, and then died.

  The arrows of both sides intersected in the air, and the lives of the soldiers of both sides also intersected. The drums in the city sounded like mountains, and the horns outside the city also resounded across the battlefield.

   Consumption, war is consumption, it depends on who consumes more in the end and who can't bear it.

  As the archers on both sides became exhausted after the intense shooting, the hand-to-hand combat became more and more intense.

Dingling pushed forward to the bottom of the city and successfully erected more than a dozen ladders. Then four soldiers pressed down on the bottom of the ladders to make them firm. In addition, the assault soldiers held their shields high and guarded the two sides of the ladders. Protect these four small soldiers. Following the howls of madness, another thousand Dingling people were divided into fifty teams, forming three waves, and climbing up the city along the road paved with flesh and blood, stepping on the ladder!

The resistance on the city wall of Ji County seemed to be inexplicably weakened. Seeing that many small soldiers were about to climb the city wall, some even climbed up the city wall faster, but the next moment several earthen pots were thrown from the city wall When they fell down, some of them hit the Ding Ling soldiers, and some hit the ladder or the ground beside the ladder.

  The thick black liquid in the crock splashed out, and then contaminated everything around it...

  『Fire...fire oil! 』

Ding Ling's assault soldiers turned pale with fright, and immediately evacuated immediately regardless of rolling and crawling, but the torches had been thrown down from the city wall along with the earthen pots, and the kerosene was ignited in an instant, and the blue-white flames shot up high. Immediately, he hugged everything around him in his arms, smiled ferociously, and licked it, as if the prey in his hands screamed more miserable, which made the flame more excited...

  Ding Ling was frightened, and involuntarily retreated across the board, leaving those screaming in the flames. Even the Horn stopped.

Cao Hong looked at the rising flames under the city wall, then stood on the steps of the city gate, raised his saber high, and let out a roar that everyone could understand without any words: 『┗|'O' |┛Aww~~! 』

  Up and down Ji County, all the soldiers of the Cao Army immediately raised their swords and guns, their morale was like a rainbow, and they roared loudly!

  The leader of Ding Lingren had a gloomy face, then glanced at the Gongsun soldiers hidden behind the hill, moved his brows and eyes, gritted his teeth, and finally gave the order: "Retreat!" 』

  …(#￢￢￢)…

  『Father…』

  After a life-and-death experience, Gongsun Kang was obviously more serious than before, and whispered to Gongsun Du, "Over there... the commander-in-chief... seems to have noticed us..."

   Gongsun Du snorted, "Steady. 』

   After a while, Gongsun Du also sneered, and said in a low voice, "So what if you find out? Well, we also withdraw troops! 』

  When Gongsundu arrived in the big tent of the Dingling people, he found that the atmosphere in the big tent was extremely dull, and the face of the commander of the Dingling People's Congress was so gloomy that it seemed that water could drip.

  『Respected Shanyu...』 All kinds of eyes casted on Gongsun Du, ridiculing, mocking, disdain, indifference, anger, hatred, it seemed that he had everything except kindness. Gongsun Du bowed and saluted the big leader as if nothing happened.

  The big leader suddenly smiled, "Guduhou is here?" sit! 』

   Gongsun Du sat down.

  The big leader was silent for a while and then said: "Gu Duhou, what do you think of today's attack...how?" 』

Gongsun Du knelt down on the ground: "Dear Shanyu...I don't have the means to discover the Han people in Ji County in advance... If I can predict a few days in advance, no, as long as I can predict the Han people in Ji County two days in advance. When something like this happens, I will definitely come up with a corresponding solution...』

  『Advance judgment? ”The big leader frowned, then looked around, and was silent for a while, “Get up first...” The big leader carefully looked at Gongsundu's face, looked at the wrinkles on Gongsundu's face, and observed the wrinkles within these wrinkles Hidden meanings, to judge whether these meanings are authentic.

  Gongsun Du's expression was sincere and remorseful. When licking Gongsun Gong's back ditch in Liaodong, it may not always be smooth sailing. There are always some unexpected troublesome things. Gongsun Du always uses such time-tested sincerity and regret to cover up the past, showing a person who is used to admit mistakes, And an image that is willing to take responsibility.

   Sure enough, the commander-in-chief nodded slightly, and pointed to the empty seat beside him, "Sit, this matter is not your responsibility..."

   It is not the responsibility of Gongsun Du, and of course it is not the responsibility of the Grand Commander. In this regard, Gongsun Du's heart is like a mirror. After thanking the Commander, he sat down and said, "Commander... after thinking about it, he has a plan..."

  『Let’s listen…』The commander stared at Gongsun Du and said slowly.

"What worries Ji County must be me...Only I know how to attack the Han people's cities most effectively," Gongsun Du said unhurriedly, "Today's siege is not good, in fact, from another aspect , is also an opportunity...We can use this matter to set up a strategy to lure the Han people out of the city...Then we can seize the opportunity and wipe them out in one fell swoop...』

  The commander-in-chief pondered for a while, "Tell me about it. 』

"Yes, respected Chanyu..." Gongsundu said slowly, "Tomorrow I will take some people to attack the city...and please send me some slave soldiers, because these people are going to die...so tomorrow's attack The city is bound to fail...then the commander-in-chief can punish me in front of the battle...also for the people in Ji County to see, and then I will send people to secretly write a letter to the city tomorrow night, saying that they want to rebel against the commander-in-chief and fight with the people in Ji County The Han people cooperated and prepared to rebel the night after tomorrow, and asked them to go out of the city to cooperate...』

  The commander-in-chief smiled, "Oh? 』

Gongsun Du didn't raise his head at all, and continued to speak slowly: "As long as the Han people in Ji County think that I'm dead, they know they don't have to be afraid... because no one except me will know how to seize the weak point of a city and attack it." , even if this Ji County of the Han people falls, there are other cities...then these Han people can still hide in the city, and we can't do anything...so what they want most is that I die, so they will definitely Cooperate, or pretend to cooperate...』

  The commander-in-chief was silent for a long time, then nodded, "Continue. 』

"If the Han people in Ji County cooperate, then naturally there is nothing to say..." Gongsun Du still lowered his head, as if he didn't see the intriguing gaze cast by the big boss just now, "After all, our warriors must be able to The defeat of these Han people outside the city...so we have to consider the possibility that the Han people in Ji County pretended to cooperate...and I think this may be bigger...』

"continue. ’ The commander nodded and said.

"So when the time comes, we only need to find two substitutes, one is mine...the other is the commander's...then the Han people will believe that we no longer have a commander, and when we withdraw our troops under the pretense of panic...these Han people will definitely Come out and try to hunt us down..."

  『How do you know that they will definitely come after them? 』

"Because most people are greedy, some people want money, some people want to live a long life, some people want power and wealth... They lost a lot of Youbei land before, it was theirs Shame is also their fault. In order to make up for their faults and gain more merit, they will chase them out... If they don't chase them, then they will mark themselves as a group of weak people who have been defeated by us. They can only pursue them, or pretend Only by chasing them can they prove that they are still brave and able to fight, so that they will not be cast aside by the Han people themselves...』

  The commander-in-chief put his head in his fist, thought for a long time, and then looked around, "Where are the others?" Does anyone else have any ideas? 』

  『…』Everyone looked around, silent.

  『Then do this first! Guduhou, you go prepare first! 』The commander-in-chief made the final decision.

  Gongsun Du left.

  『Great commander... this old dog is very suspicious...』

"I know. 』

  『This old dog didn’t tell the truth either…』

  『I know too. 』

  『The great commander...』

  『He just got one sentence right...Which one of you knows how to read the map of the Han people? Who knows how to attack the cities of the Han people? 』

  『…』

  『Just do it like this! If Ji County can be conquered, you all should restrain yourself and don't be an old dog all day long... Even a dog should give some meat and bones occasionally, right? 』

  『Then... Grand Commander, what if... you can’t be defeated? 』

  『Can’t beat it? The commander sneered, "Then, what are you keeping the useless dogs for?" Kill and eat! 』

  The plan is of course good, but no one knows, in fact, the plan will never keep up with the changes.

  Among the red sunset glow on the horizon, there seems to be a faint black line swimming in the horizon...

  …(╬￣dish￣)=○…

  Jiankun Kingdom is probably located in the upper reaches of the Yenisei River in the West Siberia Plain in later generations. It is engaged in animal husbandry, agriculture and hunting.

  Because they are basically nomadic peoples in the northernmost part of the desert, they rarely have any contact with the Han Dynasty in historical records. Of course, the reason why there is not much contact with the Han Dynasty is not just geographical remoteness...

   A group of people, wearing Jiankun's felt hats and holding flags, walked slowly south.

  In the desert, felt hats are undoubtedly the best way to distinguish different countries or tribes, and Jiankun's felt hats also have different shapes from other tribes. Jiankun's felt hats look sharper and taller, and the lower edges are all curled up. Some felt hats have some decorations on them, which are probably a kind of identification.

  In the queue, there are red-haired, fair-faced, green-eyed people, and black-haired, yellow-skinned, black-eyed people, but these people are all talking in the same variant of the Hun language...

  The red-haired one stared at the black-haired one. Although there wasn't much emotion on his face, there was some contempt in his eyes. Then he snorted softly and looked away.

This time, when we went to the place where the Han people with the three-color flag were, Jiankun Kingdom somehow didn’t want to be underestimated, and specially sent a team wearing red robes and blue cloth battle jackets, all of which had leather armor. A line of armored soldiers. In addition, there are tall and strong men in the queue, and they are full of murderous aura when they march.

  The north wind was strong, and Jiankun's swallowtail flag crackled.

"coming! 』

  『Three-color Han people are coming! 』

  In the distance, like the horizon, there are some faint smoke and dust, if it is not instructed by the skilled grassland scouts, maybe the smoke and dust over there will be regarded as flying sand in the desert and ignored.

  『All the team! 』The red-haired Jiankun man roared.

  The black-haired Jiankun man pointed to a small grassy **** not far away, "Where are you going! to the hills! 』

  The red-haired one nodded, and ran up the grassy **** with his men and horses.

  Condescending, if any conflicts really occur, if you can gain more advantages, of course you must occupy some advantages first.

  Although the red-haired and black-haired people were somewhat at odds in private, they still expressed their consistency when facing the three-color Han Chinese queue.

  『The speed is not fast...』 The red-haired man straightened his body on the horseback and looked forward, 『There are not many people...』

  『Hujiechulin...』 The black-haired man adjusted the position of his weapon so that he could respond as quickly as possible without getting in the way if necessary.

  『Nonsense! The red-haired Hujieqiulin snorted, and made a movement to expand his body, "It's you, Poshihe... Be careful when you go into battle, swords and guns don't have eyes... Haha, hahahaha..."

  The Jiankun guards behind Hujieqiulin and Poshihe looked at each other, and then turned their heads away, as if they didn't hear the two people belittle each other, as if they were used to it.

In Jiankun Kingdom, there are two relatively large tribes, one is the Qiulin tribe, and the people in the tribe take "Qillin" as their surname, while the other tribe takes "Poshihe" as their surname. Let Erhu, the same Yenisei River can't accommodate two big tribes, and there are some struggles with each other. This time, they came to meet with the three-color Han people. Naturally, neither of the two tribes felt at ease with each other, so That is, representatives of the two tribes came.

   After a while, the tricolor flag could be clearly seen in the distant smoke.

   Those with good eyes can even see the figures under the tricolor flag.

  The figures were not moving very fast, indicating that the cavalry under the tricolor flag were not moving very fast, and the atmosphere that was originally tense with swords eased slightly.

  The red-haired Hujieqiulin turned his head to look at Po Shihe, and then Po Shihe glared at him, then sneered and said, "People who saw your ancestors, why don't you go up and kneel to meet them now?" 』

  Po Shihe also sneered twice, "That's right, I went up to kneel to meet you, and then you were beaten like a dog and ran away like your ancestors..."

"Humph! 』

  『Let’s see what they have to say first.』 Po Shihe said in a deep voice, 『Look, someone is coming...』

  In the array of three-color flags, three people were separated, slowly controlling the horses, holding a small three-color flag, and kicking towards the formation of Jiankun troops...
