The sun was setting in the west.
The earth sank into darkness.
The soldiers of Shenji, Qingzhou, and Xiaosheng set off under the night sky.
The army didn't light torches to prevent any traces from being exposed in front of Gongsun Kang.
The Battle of Liaodong.
Gongsun Jing personally led the army and even brought three military strategists and chancellors.
However, they did not participate in the three battles. This was a great test of their ability as commanders.
Especially Zhang Yan and Guan Hai, who didn't want to be weaker than Gao Lan, Zhang He, and Zhao Yun, who were all from the regular army.
They had been marching for nearly four hours.
The 3rd Battalion appeared in Fangxian.
The army dug a trench in front of the camp that could stop the Goguryeon cavalry, inserted sharpened wooden sticks into it, and poured in jugs of alchemical fire oil.
Afterwards, the soldiers of the Third Battalion hid in the forest and wilderness around Fangxian, quietly waiting for Gongsun Kang's twenty thousand Liaodong soldiers and Baqi's ten thousand Goguryeon cavalry.
At this moment.
Gongsun Kang and Baqi set off from Xinchang.
The thirty thousand strong army began to march towards Fangxian.
Their goal was to use the night to bypass the scouts of the Ye Marquis Manor, so they naturally did not dare to make a sound.
At this time, he passed by.
There was still no sound outside the grain camp.
The 30,000-strong army endured the mosquito bites in the mountains and still did not make a sound!
It's almost midnight.
Three miles away from the grain camp.
Gongsun Kang was riding on a warhorse, holding the hilt of his sword, his brows were filled with anxiety.
"Don't be anxious!"
Baqi comforted.
Gongsun Kang said in a deep voice," We have to be anxious. There's not much time left before dawn. We have to return and cooperate with father to attack Gongsun Changping's camp after we burn the rations. Ever since this person rose to power, the people of Liaodong have compared our family to Gongsun Zan's family. Everyone is praising Gongsun Changping. If we are really defeated by him, then the Gongsun family of Liaodong will never be able to raise their head!”
"I don't understand!"
Baqi shook his head.
Goguryeo didn't have such a serious view of the gentry.
He couldn't understand why Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang hated Lord Ye Manor so much.
A scout ran over from afar and said while panting,""Prince, the grain camp of Lord Ye's Mansion is really outside Fangxian. They are still moving the grain transported from Youzhou. The sacks are piled up like mountains, with hundreds of thousands of stones!”
"Really?"
Gongsun Kang said happily.
"I guarantee it with my life!" the scout said resolutely.”
"Kengchi!"
Gongsun Kang pulled out his sword and pointed it at the sky. He looked at the army behind him and shouted,""The entire army will set off. The first to charge into the grain camp of the Ye Marquis Manor will be rewarded with ten gold, ten good horses, and ten mu of grain fields!”
"Kill them!"
Baqi shouted.
The 30,000-strong army galloped forward, creating a huge sound.
The three li distance was covered by iron hooves in the blink of an eye. The grain camp was shaking.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
The eyes of Zhang Sheng, the general of Youzhou, were sharp.
The first thing they did was to send people to beat the war drums and sound the horn.
"Gongsun Changping!"
"Lord Ye of the Great Han!"
"That's all, haha!"
Gongsun Kang rode ahead with his sword in hand, laughing as he charged toward the grain camp.
In front of the Liaodong army, ten thousand Goguryeon cavalry were approaching the camp.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
A loud noise came from the dark night.
Gongsun Kang watched as the cavalry in front of him suddenly disappeared.
"Ridiculous!"
Zhang Sheng's eyes were filled with coldness as he shouted,""Prepare fire arrows and throw them all into the ravine. A mere Liaodong soldier dares to attack our army's grain camp. Who gave you the courage?”
An order was given.
Thousands of rockets rose into the sky.
The sky was filled with fireworks, and the brilliance covered the stars.
At the moment of their fall, a fiery light burst out from the ravine of the Goguryeon cavalry, stretching for nearly a mile, completely separating the Liaodong army from the rations camp. Countless warhorses and Goguryeon soldiers howled in the flames as they crawled out of the ravine like ghosts that had just escaped from the land.
"Gulp!"
Gongsun Kang gulped.
In just an instant, more than half of the Goguryeon cavalry had been killed, and even their king, Baqi, was no longer alive.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
The killing spree in the wilderness was stirred up.
In the dark night, thirty thousand soldiers rushed out from all directions, wielding spears, crossbows, and snow-white sabers.
"Ambush!"
"This is an ambush!"
"That bastard Wei Choutai dared to betray Liaodong!”
Gongsun Kang's face was pale as he looked at the approaching army and immediately ordered,""Retreat, retreat to Xinchang!"
The Liaodong soldiers panicked.
One by one, they scattered and did not form an army formation.
All of them fled in the direction of Xinchang. They only wanted to leave this land of slaughter alive.
The Goguryeon army couldn't care less, and the cavalry immediately scattered the Liaodong army and fled back to Goguryeo.
Baqi was dead, and so was Yiyimo. The Goguryeon royal family would not be wiped out, but if they died here, they would truly be dead.
"Trying to escape?"
Zhang Yan took the lead and charged into the army, pointing her spear at Gongsun Kang.
Meanwhile, Gao Lan led the Divine Arms Battalion and began to shoot down the Liaodong soldiers. The arrows covered the sky and covered the earth, whistling through the night and bringing away the fleeing Liaodong soldiers one by one, making it difficult for them to escape the blockade of the Three Heroes.
A heaven-shaking slaughter began in Fangxian.
In the grain camp.
A general stepped forward and said respectfully to Zhang Sheng,""General, the 50,000 dans of rations from Youzhou have been collected. The 3rd Battalion is fighting. Should we join the battle?”
"Our goal is to protect the rations!" Zhang Sheng shook his head and said in a deep voice.”
"Here!"
The young general replied.
The cavalry ran amok and crushed the enemy's courage.
Such a thing was right in front of them, and the achievements were right in front of them. Who wouldn't want to take them?
However, Zhang Sheng understood one thing. The reason he was promoted from the regular army to the general guarding the grain was because of his lord's trust in him. If there was any loss of grain, it would be a nightmare for the 100,000-strong army, and it would also disappoint the grain tax paid by the people of the three provinces!
The killing continued.
The 20,000-odd Liaodong troops were nothing to the elites of the three battalions.
A massacre without any resistance was revealed under the night sky.
When one's saber could easily cut through the enemy's saber, a war was really nothing.
Tang Hengdao, armor, the Heavenly Fate System, and Gongsun Jing's title of Overlord of the Central Plains. Although there was no specific data on their combat strength, the difference in combat strength between the two armies could be seen with the naked eye.
The 3rd Battalion had barely suffered any casualties, and their killing speed was extremely fast.
More than half of the 20,000 soldiers led by Gongsun Kang had died.
In just two hours, only a few hundred out of the twenty thousand Liaodong soldiers and ten thousand Goguryeon cavalry managed to escape. Even Gongsun Kang was killed by Zhang Yan's spear!
"The difference?"
Zhang Sheng muttered to himself as he looked at the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion who were cleaning up the battlefield.
Gao Lan stepped in front of the ravine and looked at the grain camp. He shouted,"General Zhang Sheng!"
"I'm here!"
Zhang Sheng immediately shouted.
Gao Lan nodded and said," Zhang Yan, Guan Hai, and I will rest a mile away. We will return to the main camp after daybreak. You lead the soldiers to burn the corpses and fill the ravines!"”
"Here!"
Zhang Sheng said respectfully.
"The Eighth Battalion of the Ye Marquis Manor is too strong!"
"Their combat readiness is much higher than ours!”
"The Liaodong spears were cut in half with a single slash, and the sharp spears easily pierced into the Liaodong armor!”
After the 3rd Battalion left.
The 10,000 regular soldiers guarding the grain camp chattered non-stop.
They were all sighing at the battle strength of the 3rd Battalion and envied the terrifying combat readiness of the 8th Battalion.
"What are you arguing about!"
Zhang Sheng slapped the helmet of a general and shouted,"" You only saw that the other party was strong, but you didn't see that the other party rushed over from the main camp, dug a one-mile-long trench, cleaned up the battlefield after killing people, retreated in an orderly manner, and crawled in the wilderness for a night!”
"General!"
"When can we set up camp?" the young general asked enviously.”
Zhang Sheng smiled bitterly and said," The Ye Marquis Manor also has a regular army. Only the main army can be set up. Moreover, the main army will fight every battle. The chances of them dying in battle are also very high. Back then, they were all heroes in the battle of Ping City. I'm afraid we are not qualified to join the main force of the Ye Marquis Manor!”
"What a pity!"
the young general said in disappointment.
Zhang Sheng patted the general's shoulder and said in a deep voice,""Work hard. When you enter the main force of the Ye Marquis Manor, you will see a different world and participate in a different war. Now, bring people to fill the ravine and then burn the piled corpses!”
"Here!"
The young general replied.
The Battle of Fangxian ended.
When the flames of the corpse burned, the sky was also suffused with white light.
In Xin Chang City.
Gongsun Du got up from the bed.
They were preparing to gather the army and attack the camp of Lord Ye's Manor.
However, before he could even put on his armor, the door was knocked open by a servant!
The attendant gasped for breath and said in horror," Your Majesty, a large army has gathered outside the city. The main force of the Yehou Manor is attacking. They have also piled up a mountain of corpses outside the city. Some soldiers have recognized that they are all Fuyu people's corpses. Moreover, there is a long pole hanging from the pile of corpses. The ruler of Fuyu Country, Wei Choutai, is hanging from it!”
"Pa da!"
Gongsun Du's armor fell to the ground.
The attendant suppressed the panic in his heart and said,"Your Majesty, the army outside the city is already preparing to attack the city. Moreover, Youzhou General Zou Dan has said that if you kill the lord, you can leave the city and surrender.”
"Bastard!"
"Bastard!"
Gongsun Du quickly put on his armor.
Weichoutai was dead, and Xinchang City was besieged.
Then, the news of Fuyu's fake surrender must have been leaked, and the attack on Fangxian would naturally have failed.
All he wanted now was to defend Xinchang and pray for Gongsun Kang and Baqi to come back alive and bring back the army to help him kill his way out of the city.
Not too long later.
When Gongsun Du ascended the city tower, he was stunned on the spot.
Five thousand soldiers surrounded a wooden pole that was dozens of feet long, forming a mountain. At the top of the pole, Wei Choutai's corpse floated in front of everyone like a flag.
This kind of shock.
It far exceeded the attendant's description.
Five hundred steps away, tens of thousands of soldiers gathered.
Zou Dan led 10,000 iron cavalry, but 10,000 was not enough to form a square formation and stare at the Xinchang City Tower.
In front, the Rising Sky Battalion pushed out catapults, heavy shields, battering rams, and a thousand crossbows that could only be used by three people.
On the other side.
The Divine Guard Battalion appeared very ordinary.
However, the neat military tents, the shining silver armor, and the forest of spears made people feel a chill in their hearts.
"Gulp!"
Gongsun Du gulped.
This was the first time he had seen such a neat army.
Moreover, there was not a single sound of human voices below the city walls, only the neighing of warhorses.
Zou Dan grinned." Xuyi, Yan Gang, that person looks like Gongsun Du. He's finally up!"”
"Eh?"
Yan Gang's face darkened.
Zou Dan's words were full of cruelty.
"Zou Dan!"
Gongsun Du suppressed the panic in his heart and shouted,""Where's Gongsun Changping? Does he think that the three of you and your soldiers can take down Xinchang, which is guarded by 60,000 soldiers?”
"Do you have 60,000 soldiers?" Zou Dan asked indifferently.”
"What did you say?"
Gongsun Du's pupils shrank as he said in panic.
Yan Gang stepped out of the formation and sneered,""Gongsun Du, your Gongsun Family of Liaodong also wants to replace my lord and control the four prefectures. Do you have the qualifications? Moreover, your son Gongsun Kang and the new Goguryeon King Baqi are already dead, and your thirty thousand men are buried in Fangxian. No, they have already turned into smoke!”
"Impossible!"
Gongsun Du's expression changed drastically as he shouted,""How could you see through my fake surrender!”
"Hah!"
"Haha!"
Yan Gang laughed and said," It's funny. When Fuyu presented his credentials, my Lord told Wei Choutai to erase the name of Fuyu. He agreed without thinking. My Lord concluded that he was faking his surrender. Yesterday, you planned to attack Fangxian, and we only dealt with Fuyu people!”
"What?"
Gongsun Du paled.
Yan Gang's gaze swept across the Liaodong soldiers on the city tower and said indifferently,"Tie Ling of the Ye Marquis Mansion, kill anyone who goes against my army and kill anyone who goes against the Ye Marquis Mansion. Fuyu Ren is a good example. The cavalry and the white-robed men have gone to recover Xuantu.”
"Liaodong is finished?"
"It's over, everything is over!"
"The prince is dead, and the lord has no heir to inherit the great cause!”
"We will definitely lose this battle. Xuantu is about to fall, we can't defend a lone city!”
On the city tower.
The hearts of the Liaodong soldiers were like ashes.
All of them were muttering the words of losing their aura.
Even Gongsun Du felt the same way, thinking that Liaodong was doomed.
"Open the city and surrender!"
Seeing this, Yan Gang shouted again," As long as you surrender, you will still be the people of Youzhou. You are naturally aware of the benefits that the Marquis Ye Mansion has given to the people of Youzhou. Do you want to fight to the death?"”
"Kengchi!"
Gongsun Du pulled out his sword and scolded angrily,""Yan Gang, you're full of nonsense!”
"Struggle before death!"
Yan Gang shouted with his hands behind his back.
Gongsun Du looked at the soldiers around him and shouted,""The Gongsun Family of Liaodong is still alive. Gong 'er is still guarding An City, Han Qi is guarding Pingguo, Liu Pu is guarding Wangping, and Guo Xin is guarding Xiangping. They still have a large army in their hands. Furthermore, my son and the King of Goguryeo have yet to return, and there is no news of their deaths.”
"Here!"
The soldiers were shocked and afraid.
"Stubborn!"
Zou Dan, Zhang He, and Yan Gang frowned.
They thought that they could convince the Liaodong soldiers to surrender and avoid a siege!
