The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

The next morning

Gongsun Hong led the army to attack the city from three sides, throwing stones like rain, arrows flying, and shouting and killing. Soldiers rushed to climb the city wall frantically, all wanting to be the first to climb.

Gongsun Hong drew his sword and ordered: "The first to climb will be rewarded with a thousand gold and a hundred households!"

Kill, kill~~As soon as more than ten ladders were erected on the city wall, the brave warriors of the Wei army rushed to climb up. A thousand gold and a hundred households can protect future generations for thousands of years!

On the city wall, the Wei army struggled to resist the Wei army's attack. Gan Ling ran to Gou Bian with blood all over his body and said, "General, these Wei soldiers are attacking the city like locusts. I'm afraid we can't defend the east gate! The other two gates have also reached their limits!"

Gou Bian said calmly, "The reserve team will go up to the city! Pour strong liquor and burn the Wei army!"

Thousands of jars of strong liquor were poured out from the city wall. A Wei army lieutenant smelled the smell on his body and said in horror, "Retreat quickly, it's strong liquor!" As soon as the voice fell, hundreds of torches were thrown down from the city wall, and a raging fire suddenly ignited. Dozens of ladders were also engulfed by the fire! Thousands of Wei soldiers wailed in pain in the flames, but there were still Wei soldiers attacking the city under the raging fire!

Gongsun Hong said to the messenger beside him: "Sound the horn and retreat!"

Ding ding~~ The Wei army retreated after hearing the order to retreat. The guards on the city instantly breathed a sigh of relief. They finally repelled the enemy, but only Gou Bian knew that the next step was the real siege!

Gongsun Hong boarded the nest car, holding a yellow flag in his hand. With a wave of the flag, the army was divided into three teams, each with four military formations. The front team was the bravest soldiers in the army, the middle team was the best archers in the army, and the back team was a mixed formation of new recruits and experienced soldiers as a reserve team.

Gongsun Hong took out the red flag again and waved it forward, saying: "Shoot!"

Countless arrows shot at Puyang, covering the sky and the sun. After the rain of arrows, countless flying stones came again, and the arrow towers, enemy towers, towers, battlements, and walls on the city wall were smashed to pieces. Some guards were hit by flying stones and blood was splattered. A foul smell came out from the city.

Gongsun Hong gave another order: "The front team advances!"

The brutal siege began again!

After attacking for several days, the Wei army attacked the city many times but was driven back by the Wei army. After five days of attacking the city, the Wei army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties.

In the tent, Gongsun Cuo recovered and said to everyone: "Everyone, we will attack the city again tonight. I will lead 800 warriors to defeat the enemy from the tunnel!"

Gongsun Cuo asked: "Gongsun Hong, where is the enemy's defense the least? Where is the most dense?"

Gongsun Hong bowed and replied: "Brother, the enemy's defense is the most dense at the east gate, and the defense of the south gate is relatively loose!"

Gongsun Cuo clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, we can break the city tonight! Gongsun Yi, you lead 10,000 troops at the south gate, don't attack, wait for me to send a signal in the city and then you attack, Gongsun Hong, you lead 20,000 troops to attack the east gate fiercely, and divert the enemy's attention to the east gate, Xiang Ci will be in charge of the central army, and Baning will guard the rear army!"

The generals bowed and said: "Yes!"

At night, Gongsun Hong led 20,000 soldiers to secretly transport the siege equipment under the cover of darkness. With hundreds of soldiersAfter the soldiers climbed the city with flying claws, the Wei army was caught off guard and the night attack officially began.

Gou Bian was checking the map when Gan Ling rushed in and said, "General, the Wei army is attacking the east gate at night!"

Gou Bian picked up the sword beside him and said, "Follow me to the east gate."

When Gou Bian arrived, he drew his sword and said to the soldiers, "All of you follow me to defend the city!"

Kill, kill~~After an unknown amount of time, the Wei army's offensive was still unabated. Gou Bian stabbed an enemy into the city and said to Gan Ling beside him, "Move the reserve team to the east gate to fight!"

——Yes!

After the reserve troops went to the east gate, the offensive of the Wei army slowed down a little. Gongsun Hong looked at the reserve troops of the Wei army and said, "All troops attack, those who retreat will be killed!"

At this time, the city was instantly on fire, and a large number of Wei troops poured into the south gate. Gongsun Yi led the troops with a sharp blade in his hand, and Gongsun Zhu shot the south gate guard to death with an arrow. The Wei army, without a general to command, fled like birds and beasts in an instant.

Gongsun Zhu pointed to the front and said, "Hurry up and attack the east gate! Attack the Wei army!"

Gou Bian knew that the south gate was broken, so he asked the soldiers who escaped why. After hearing the reason, he shouted, "I actually forgot the method of attacking the city from the tunnel!"

The Wei army was attacked from both sides, and Gongsun Zhu shouted, "Those who surrender will not be killed!" The Wei army put down their weapons and surrendered one after another, and only Gou Bian led hundreds of personal soldiers to fight against the Wei army.

Gou Bian rushed left and right, killing countless Wei soldiers. He looked around and found that he was the only one left. General Gan Ling was also stabbed to death by the Wei army. Gongsun Zhuo saw the Wei general who was still holding on, and he couldn't help but respect him. He said to the soldiers: "Catch him alive!"

The surrounding Wei soldiers rushed forward and pressed Gou Bian under them. He captured Gou Bian, and the Wei State was declared dead.

The Marquis of Wei hanged himself, and the Prime Minister Zisi and his wife drank poison and died in the house. Gongsun Zhuo led his troops into the palace and found that the Marquis of Wei had hanged himself, so he ordered people to bury him as a prince.

Gongsun Cuo said to the generals: "No soldier is allowed to rob the people in the city, and no one is allowed to rape and kill women. All the treasuries in the palace are closed and no one is allowed to plunder privately. Gongsun Yi and his men are responsible for transporting the property in the treasury back to Daliang."

Xiang Ci said: "General, I think our army should temporarily rest in this city and wait for the king's order."

"Okay." Gongsun Cuo nodded.

Wei Guo’s Court

After reading the battle report sent by Gongsun Yi, Wei Ying laughed and said, “Well, General Gongsun Cuo is worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield of Wei. Immediately order Gongsun Cuo to lead troops to attack Song Guo’s Taodi!”

At this time, Wu Tong stood up and said, “Your Majesty, Wei Guo has been destroyed. We couldn’t attack Song Guo so quickly at that time, because we couldn’t guarantee whether Qi Guo would send troops. If Qi Guo’s main force was fighting Zhao Guo, then we could attack Song Guo.”

Wei Ying nodded and asked the foreign minister Gongsun Yue again, because the foreign minister of Wei Guo was not only in charge of diplomacy, but also in charge of espionage affairs, and asked, “Gongsun Yue, Qi Guo’s sideWhat's going on?"

Gongsun Yue stood up and said, "According to the spies, Qi State has appointed Tian Ji as the general to lead 70,000 troops to resist Zhao State."

Pang Juan hurriedly asked, "Foreign Minister, has Sun Bin gone?"

Gongsun Yue replied, "Yes, the spies saw Sun Bin and Tian Ji together."

Wei Lang heard that the main force of Qi State had already fought against Zhao State, and then said, "Since the main force of Qi State has been pinned down by the Zhao Army, immediately order Gongsun Cuo to attack Song State."

Pang Juan stood up and stopped him, saying, "Your Majesty, you can't do that. According to the information I have received, Qi State has now replaced its new monarch. As soon as the new monarch of Qi State came to power, he cooked and killed more than a dozen evil officials and drove his uncle Tian Gu away. Now there is no one in the court of Qi State to help. I am afraid it may be a trick! ”

Wei Ling smiled and said: "General Pang, don't worry. The new king of Qi has just ascended the throne. There must be some instability in the country, so don't worry. Order Gongsun Cuo to send troops to Song."

"Yes."

………

After more than ten days, Gongsun Cuo received the king's order and said to everyone: "Everyone, the king's order has just arrived. The king ordered us to attack Taodi in Song immediately. I wonder what you think?"

Xiang Ci pointed to the map and said: "There are two roads from here to Taodi, one is a big road and the other is a small road. The big road has to pass through Jiqiu and you have to capture four cities along the way to Taoyi. The small road is farther but can directly reach Taoyi."

Gongsun Cuo looked at it and said: "How about splitting the troops into two routes? I will personally lead 60,000 troops to attack Taodi from the main road, attract the attention of the Song army in Taodi, and confront the Song army in Jiyang City in Taodi. Behind Jiyang is Taoyi. In this way, Taoyi, the center of Taodi, will definitely send troops to support Jiyang to prevent Jiyang from being broken. Xiang Ci will lead 20,000 troops to enter Taoyi from the small road and occupy Taoyi while the troops are empty. "

After listening, Baning nodded and said, "Okay, that's it. I will lead the remaining soldiers to station in Weiguo and guard the grain road."

Gongsun Hong said again, "Brother, will Qi interfere?"

Gongsun Cuo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Qi will not send troops to interfere. According to the spies, the main force of Qi is fighting with the Zhao army!"

After the generals were relieved, Gongsun Cuo ordered, "Set off tomorrow! ”
