Chapter 2286 The enemy of the enemy, the opponent of the opponent(1/2)
Looking at the gap between the arrow rain, even a fool could see the next battle intention of Dingling people. Cao Hong almost immediately shouted, the archer was ready! Shoot the man who filled the river!
The sound of the horn rose loudly, and Dingling's slave soldiers braved their arrows and threw them back and forth around the mud bags. Many people were shot by bows and arrows while running, and then the people behind them ran directly trampled on his body and ran over.
Dingling's troops also began to unfold their formation, and the cavalry and archers began to dismount and advance forward. Every ten soldiers on the assault were holding a cloud ladder and were on standby behind. On the edge of each cloud ladder, there were twenty assault teams, basically holding a battle knife in one hand and a shield in the other. It was quite a bit like the Han infantrymen climbing the city to fight.
All of this arrangement was helped by Gongsun Du.
The drums above Jixian were also louder and louder.
As bags of soil were thrown into the moat, under the erosion of the water flow without abundant water in the north, these mud bags quickly piled up, and then formed a passage to the city...
The leader of Ding Ling waved his arm vigorously, and the slave soldiers, who were originally cannon fodder, made way to both sides. The soldiers in the assault formation roared, carried the ladder, and were guarded by the shield soldiers on both sides, rushing forward!
Cao Hong shouted, shoot! Free shooting!
Cao Hong also raised his bow and arrow and aimed at the Ding Ling soldier in front of a cloud ladder, and shot him to the ground with one arrow, and then shot two more times. The cloud ladder fell to the ground with a tilt. The shield soldiers on both sides wanted to take over, but attracted more arrows. They screamed in tears and rolled and crawled backwards, leaving behind the ladder and more than ten corpses.
As the long arrows were splashed, countless Ding Ling soldiers fell down, but Ding Ling's archers also approached the city wall. When Cao's army's target was transferred to the cloud ladder assault troops, they tilted the arrows madly on the city wall. Moreover, because Ding Ling's archery skills were better than those of ordinary Cao's army, the Cao's archers also suffered a large number of casualties in the blink of an eye.
The archers of Cao's army were forced to split up some of the archers that turned to suppress the Ding Ling people to shoot, but this meant that the slackness of the assault troops allowed these Ding Ling soldiers to find some gaps and advance to the city.
The leader of the Dingling people sent a third wave of soldiers again. Countless Dingling people howled, surging like a tide. These people roared wildly, rushing towards the city wall with one hand and the other hand, with a war knife and a shield.
Cao Hong took the time to look at another direction of the city wall. Le Jin was howling loudly there, directing the soldiers to resist, and the higher mound seemed to be quiet...
Cao Hong took his eyes back, looked at the Dingling people rushing under the city, and motivated the soldiers again and shot! Shoot! Don't be afraid! We can defend!
The running Dingling soldiers kept falling down by arrows, screaming and killing, filling the entire battlefield. Some Dingling people began to climb up the ladder, and were soon killed, rolling in pain on the base of the city wall, and then died.
Arrows from both sides intersect in the air, and the lives of soldiers from both sides intersecting each other. The drums of war in the city sounded like mountains, and the ox horns outside the city also resounded on 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 tired after the fierce shooting, the hand-to-hand combat became more and more intense.
Dingling men advanced to the city and successfully set up more than a dozen cloud ladders. Four soldiers pressed the bottom of the cloud ladder to make it firm. In addition, the assault soldiers held up shields and guarded the sides of the cloud ladders to protect the four Dingling soldiers. With the crazy howlings, another thousand Dingling men divided into fifty teams, forming three waves, and climbed up the city along the road paved with flesh and blood!
The resistance on the Jixian city wall seemed to have inexplicably weakened. Seeing that many Ding Ling soldiers were about to climb up the city wall, some of whom were even faster had climbed up, but the next moment several clay pots were thrown down from the city wall, some hitting Ding Ling soldiers, some hitting the cloud ladder or on the ground beside the cloud ladder.
The thick black liquid in the clay pot splashed out and then stained everything around it...
Fire... turmeric oil!
Ding Ling's assault soldiers were shocked and immediately rolled and crawled without hesitation. However, the torch had been thrown off the city wall with the clay pot, and the tinder oil was ignited instantly. The blue and white flames suddenly rose high, and then they hugged everything around them in their arms, smiling hideously and licking, as if the prey in their hands screamed more and more, the flames became more and more excited...
Ding Ling was shocked and couldn't help but retreated from the whole line, leaving those who were screaming in the flames. Even the Niuke stopped at the time.
Cao Hong looked at the rising flames under the city wall, then stood on the steps of the city gate tower, raised his sword high, and made a roar that made everyone understand the meaning: ┗o′┛ao!
All the soldiers of Cao's army raised their swords and guns from all over Ji County, and their morale was like a rainbow, and they roared with the sound!
The leader of Dingling people had a gloomy face, then glanced at the Gongsun soldier hidden behind the hill, his eyebrows and eyes moved, grinded his teeth, and finally ordered: Stop the troops!
…(#¬_¬)…
My father...
Gongsun Kang, who had been through a life and death, was obviously more serious than before. He whispered to Gongsun Du, "The commander over there... seems to have discovered us...
Gongsun Du snorted and stood still.
After a while, Gongsun Du also sneered and whispered, "What can we do if we find out?" Okay, let's stop the troops too!

The respected Shanyu... all kinds of eyes were projected on Gongsun Du, ridicule, mocking, disdain, coldness, anger, hatred, and everything else except kindness. Gongsun Du bowed and greeted the leader as if nothing had happened.
The leader suddenly smiled and said, "Marquis Gudu is here? Sit!"
Gongsun Du sat down.
The big leader was silent for a while and then said: Guduhou, what do you think of today's attack...?
Gongsun Du knelt down on the ground: Dear Shanyu... I was unable to discover in advance that the Han people in Ji County had such a method... If I could do this a few days in advance, no, as long as I could predict that the Han people in Ji County would do such a thing, I would definitely come up with a corresponding method...
Predict in advance? The leader frowned, then looked around, and was silent for a while, you should get up first... The leader looked at Gongsun Du's face carefully, looked at the wrinkles on Gongsun Du's face, observed the meaning hidden in these wrinkles, and judged whether these meanings were authentic.
Gongsun Du looked sincere and regretful. When he licked Gongsun Guan Hougouzi in Liaodong, it was not necessarily smooth sailing. There were always some unexpected troublesome things. Gongsun Du used such tried-and-tested sincerity and regret to cover up the past, showing an image of admitting mistakes and being willing to take responsibility.
Sure enough, the commander nodded slightly and pointed to the empty seat beside him. Sitting, this matter cannot be considered your responsibility...
It is not the responsibility of Gongsun Du, and of course it is not the responsibility of the Grand Commander. Gongsun Du's heart is as clear as a mirror. After thanking the Grand Commander, he sat down and said: Grand Commander... After thinking about it, he has a plan...
Let’s hear it… the commander stared at Gongsun Du and said slowly.
What I am worried about in Ji County must be... Only I know how to attack the Han people's cities most effectively. Gongsun Du said slowly that siege today is not good. In fact, from another aspect, it is also an opportunity... We can use this matter to set a plan to lure the Han people out of the city... and then we can seize the opportunity and eliminate it in one fell swoop...
The commander pondered for a while and said, "Let's see."
Yes, the respected Shanyu... Gongsun Du said slowly, I will take some people to attack the city tomorrow... and ask the commander to allocate some slave soldiers to me, because these people are going to die... so tomorrow's siege will inevitably fail... Then the commander can punish me in front of the formation... It is also for the people in Ji County to see, and then I will send someone to secretly submit a letter to the city tomorrow night, saying that I want to rebel against the commander, cooperate with the Han people in Ji County, and prepare to rebel the night after tomorrow, asking them to cooperate with the city...
The commander smiled, oh?
Gongsun Du didn't look up at all and continued to say slowly: As long as the Han people in Ji County think I'm dead, they know that they don't have to be afraid... Because except me, no one will know how to seize the weakness of a city and attack. Even if the Han people fall, there are other cities... Then these Han people can still hide in the city, and we can't do anything... So what they most hope is that I will die, so they will definitely cooperate or pretend to cooperate...
The commander was silent for a long time before nodding and continuing.
If the Han people in Ji County cooperated, then there is naturally nothing to say... Gongsun Du still lowered his head, as if he had not seen the intriguing gaze projected by the big leader just now. After all, our warriors can definitely defeat these Han people outside the city... So what we have to consider is the possibility of the Han people in Ji County pretending to cooperate... and I think this may be bigger...
Continue. The commander nodded and said.
So at that time, just find two substitutes, one is mine... and the other is the commander... and then the Han people will believe that we have no commander anymore, and then when we are pretending to be panic, these Han people will definitely come out to try to chase us...
How do you know they will come and hunt them down?
Because most people are greedy, some want money, some want to live a long life, and some want power and wealth... They have lost a lot of land in Youbei before, which is their shame and their fault. In order to make up for their mistakes and to obtain more merits, they will chase them out... If they don't chase them, then they will indicate that they are a group of weak people defeated by us. Only by pursuing or pretending to pursue can they prove that they are brave and able to fight, so that they will not be despised by the Han people themselves...
The commander held his head with his fist, thought for a long time, and then looked around for a week. What about the others? Do others have any ideas?
... Everyone looked around and silently.
Then do this first! Gudu Hou, go and prepare first! The commander is determined.
Gongsun Du is gone.
The commander... This old dog is very suspicious...
I know.
This old dog didn't tell the truth...
I know, too.
That commander...
He just said one thing right...Who knows how to look at the map of the Han people? Who knows how to attack the Han people's cities?
...
Just do it! If you can capture Jixian, you can all be more restrained and don’t be old and old dogs all day long... Even if it’s a dog, you have to give some meat bones occasionally, right?
Then...the commander, what if...the commander...can't be defeated?
Can't beat it? The commander sneered, then, why are the useless dogs left for? Kill and eat them!
The plan is good, but no one knows it. In fact, the plan will never keep up with the changes.
In the sunset in the sky, there seemed to be a faint black line swimming in the sky...
…(╬ ̄Dish ̄)=○…
The Jiankun Kingdom is probably located in the upper reaches of the Yenisei River in the later Western Siberian plains, engaged in animal husbandry, agriculture and hunting.
Because it is basically considered the nomadic people at the northernmost end of the desert, it rarely has any contact with the Han Dynasty in historical records. Of course, the reason why it did not leave much contact with the Han Dynasty is not just the remoteness in the region...
The group of people, wearing Jiankun's felt hats and wearing flags, slowly heading south.
In the desert, felt hats are undoubtedly the best way to distinguish between countries or tribes. Jiankun’s felt hats are also different from other tribes. Jiankun’s felt hats look sharp and tall, and the edges on the bottom are curled. Some felt hats have some decorations, which are probably a kind of identification.
In the queue, there were red hair, fair faces, green eyes, and black hair, yellow skin, and black eyes, but these people were talking in the same Hun language variant...
The red-haired stared at the black hair beside him. Although there was not much emotion on his face, there was a look of contempt in his eyes. Then he snorted gently from inside and moved his eyes away.
This time, when I went to the Han people with the three-color flag, Jiankun Kingdom was somewhat unwilling to underestimate them. I specially sent a team of soldiers wearing red robe armor and green cloth battle jackets, all with leather armor and iron armor. In addition, there were tall and strong men in the queue, and they were full of murderous intent when they marched.
The north wind was strong, and the swallowtail flags that rolled in the wind made the crackle.
Here comes!
The three-color Han people are here!
In the distance, it was like the horizon, with some faint smoke and dust. If it weren't for the skilled grassland scout's instructions, they might have regarded the smoke and dust there as flying sand in the desert and ignored it.
The whole team was full! The red-haired Jiankun whistled.
The black-haired Jiankun pointed to a small grass slope not far away, where to go! Go to the hillside!
The red-haired nodded and ran up the grass slope with his men.
If you really have any conflict, if you can gain more advantages, of course you must gain some advantages first.
Although the two people with red and black hair are somewhat inconsistent in private, they still showed their consistency with the outside world when facing the three-color Han people's queue.
The speed was not fast... The red-haired straightened his body on the horse's back and looked forward. There were not many people...
To be continued...
