Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 717 Xu Rongchenglian vs Gongsun Gong

When Zhang Sui withdrew to Liucheng with his wife and personal soldiers, he was preparing to rush to the port of Lingzhi County with Gao Shun's Xianchen Camp, Xu Rong's Feixiong Army, Cheng Lian's Feihu Army and Chen Dao's Baili Army to prepare for the sneak attack from Liaodong.

On the Changli city wall.

Surrounded by his generals, Gongsun Gong inspected the city from inside to the top of the city wall.

Looking at the bloody corpses at the foot of the city wall and on the city wall, Gongsun Gong's eyes wandered and his breathing became a little difficult.

Finished!

It's over now.

Ten thousand elite Goguryeo soldiers were all killed outside the city.

Thousands of elite Han soldiers also died on the city walls.

It is still unknown when the enemy's next attack will come.

Gongsun Gong stopped on the city wall, staring blankly at the enemy camp outside the city. For the first time, he felt complete despair.

A general said in a hoarse voice: "General, this so-called Thunderbolt Chariot owned by the general is too powerful."

"Plus there are enough of them."

"I personally think that if we continue to fight like this, we can avoid the next time, and the next time, but we can't avoid it forever."

"From Changli onwards, there is a huge swamp."

"It's not easy to pass through a huge siege weapon like the Thunderbolt Chariot."

"Moreover, the only road they have to take is the only post road that the Han Dynasty had ever built."

"This post road is not wide, and it has the effect of 'one man guarding the pass'."

"We only need to send a very small number of death warriors, with the belief of dying in battle, to block their way eastward to Xiangping."

"Our large force will go around the sea route to the rear of this army and kill this Thunderbolt convoy and Liu Ye, who invented the Thunderbolt chariot."

"The general's troops will end here."

"A genius like Liu Ye, even if he is a general, I believe, is unique."

"Otherwise, the general would not have let Liu Ye lead the siege this time."

After hearing this, all the generals perked up and looked at Gongsun Gong nervously.

Gongsun Gong did not respond immediately.

Looking down at the corpses of Goguryeo's elite soldiers piled up like mountains outside the city, Gongsun Gong's mind was filled with the scenes of the wailing Goguryeo women and children before he left Xiangping.

Especially those scenes where children were dragged by women to catch up with the army, and cried heart-wrenchingly, but were still dragged by women to catch up with the army.

The image of his elder brother with a smile on his face also appeared in his mind.

After a while, Gongsun Gong said in a hoarse voice: "I heard from my father when he was alive that the general has a cavalry that makes people tremble with fear."

"The commander of this cavalry is called Xu Rong. He once led 3,000 ordinary cavalrymen to destroy Cao Cao's army of 10,000. He chased the army of Sun Jian, the former fierce tiger of Jiangdong, and chopped them all the way until Sun Jian had to use his generals to replace him, and only then did he save his life."

"And now, this commander has gone from leading 3,000 ordinary cavalry to leading 700 heavy cavalry."

Gongsun Gong's words made all the generals' faces change suddenly.

They all looked pale.

Some people's lips were trembling, they wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

If they had heard of this person before this battle, they would have found him ridiculous.

But now, they felt extremely frightened.

The Hebei army is so terrifying!
Gongsun Gong looked around at the generals around him with a gloomy expression and said, "My father was originally an ordinary official in the Han court, a minister."

"Thanks to the wise vision of the then Prime Minister Dong Zhuo, I was transferred to be the governor of Liaodong County, and led your ancestors to conquer Goguryeo in the east, Wuhuan in the three counties in the west, and traveled across the sea."

“But now, we are facing the real imperial army attacking.”

Gongsun Gong closed his eyes, clenched his hands into fists, and his body shook like a sieve.

All the generals bowed their heads.

They felt extremely depressed and hopeless.

People like them might be able to do whatever they want in Liaodong.

However, in front of the real Han soldiers, they were like dry weeds and rotten wood, and were vulnerable.

The group was silent for a long time before Gongsun Gong opened his eyes and mustered up the courage to say, "I want to go to Yecheng, Hebei."

"The general said that genius is just the basic threshold to meet him."

"I want to go to Yecheng to see these geniuses." The generals did not respond.

Some generals simply collapsed to the ground.

Some generals held on to the city walls, their legs and feet weak.

Some generals hugged the battlements and screamed towards the outside of the city.

Unwilling!

They are unwilling!
However, facing such a powerful force, which was not even the full strength of others, they really could not find any possibility of turning defeat into victory.

Gongsun Gong looked at these generals, lowered his head and shed tears.

All of Goguryeo's elite troops were killed in the battle.

He no longer dared to go back.

Once he returns and faces those innocent women and children in Yanjing, he feels like he is going crazy!
Listening to the generals' powerless wails, Gongsun Gong gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice: "Open the city gates and send an envoy to ask to see the general. We can surrender. But we have our conditions!"

Zhang Sui, along with his wife and personal soldiers, ran nearly fifty miles!
He was caught up by the cavalry sent by Liu Ye and told: Liaodong commander Gongsun Gong wanted to surrender, but he had some requirements!

Zhang Sui was really shocked.

He was also prepared for a surprise attack by the Liaodong army, to take advantage of the enemy's strategy, catch the enemy off guard, destroy Liaodong's manpower, and then adopt Yanshi's vicious strategy to annex Liaodong through a protracted war.

But no one expected that Gongsun Gong would choose to surrender!

Zhang Sui asked Yanshi to take his handwritten letter, and ordered Gao Shun's Xianchen Camp, Xu Rong's Feixiong Army, Cheng Lian's Feihu Army and Chen Dao's Baili Army to prepare to rush to Lingzhi County and arrive at the designated location first.

He rushed back to the military camp with a small number of personal soldiers.

That night, Zhang Sui met Gongsun Gong and a group of generals at the entrance of the moat suspension bridge.

Zhang Sui felt a little strange when he saw the gloomy expressions of Gongsun Gong and other generals.

This Gongsun Gong is a flower in a greenhouse.

He was once a genius and rarely experienced major defeats.

Now that I have failed once, I am completely at a loss.

Zhang Sui looked at Gongsun Gong and said, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Gongsun Gong took a deep breath and said, "General, I want to see General Xu Rong's 700 heavy cavalry."

Zhang Sui: “.”

He remembered that he had read the biography of Gongsun Gong of Liaodong before traveling through time, in which it was mentioned that Xu Rong was one of the reasons why Gongsun Gong was able to become the governor of Liaodong County.

As for the factors, there is no record in history books.

However, Zhang Sui had a vague guess.

Without hesitation, Zhang Sui sent an envoy to Liucheng urgently, and asked Xu Rong to lead the Feixiong Army and Cheng Lian to lead the Feihu Army. The two cavalry units came to Changli at the same time to let Gongsun Gong meet them.

Early the next morning, Xu Rong and Cheng Lian arrived with their cavalry.

The two cavalry corps formed two square formations and faced Changli City directly.

Gongsun Gong was originally taking a nap.

After hearing the soldier's report, he rushed to the city wall without even having time to put on his shoes.

On the city wall, the Liaodong soldiers in charge of patrolling looked at the two cavalry formations outside the city, their faces pale.

The two cavalry units, the Flying Bear Army on the left, had seven hundred men. Every soldier wore armor, a visor, and carried standard weapons. Even the horses they rode were covered in armor, as if they were evil spirits from hell.

The Flying Tiger Army on the right has 1,500 people.

Although they were all light cavalry, each of them was tall and strong, with a murderous aura, and one could tell at first glance that they were veterans of many battles.

Such a powerful cavalry, even though they didn't make any noise, made people feel cold under their feet.

Gongsun Gong looked at the two cavalry units and asked with a trembling voice, "Who is General Xu Rong?"

In the Feixiong army, a cavalryman rode out on his horse and galloped backwards.

It wasn't long before two figures were seen approaching side by side.

The tall and strong man wearing iron armor on the left is Xu Rong.

The general who is carrying the commander's flag on his right side, holding the reins in his left hand, and swaying his body slightly back and forth is Cheng Lian.

The two men came to the front of the two cavalry units.

Xu Rong raised his head, looked towards the top of the city wall, and shouted: "Hebei Lieutenant General, Commander of the Flying Bear Army, Xu Rong, is here!!!"
