Chapter 95
Gao Ai quickly completed the handover of Jingxing County, and went straight to the rear of Gongsun Zan with [-] soldiers alone.
And use the scouts to plan the most likely route for Gongsun Zan to flee.
It turns out that there is no good planning at all, and you can run everywhere in the plains.
It's nothing more than the distance from the city, the nearest is Zhending City, but if Gongsun Zan receives the news that the rear army has surrendered and offered the city, would he still dare to run to Zhending City?
This is a question of whether Gao Ai dared to gamble, nor whether Gongsun Zan dared to gamble.
"Circle around first, and then intercept based on what the scouts reported. I don't believe that Gongsun Zan can keep running, unless he has supernatural abilities."
If he was lucky enough to get to a city, he would have to attack that city too.
With dynamite in hand, he is so unscrupulous.
"However, to bury [-] packs of explosives in the ground, Han is so easy-going."
Gao Ai led the army on a rapid march, but his thoughts had already drifted to Zhaozhuang.
Gao Ai felt a little regretful that he couldn't see it with his own eyes.
And as early as Gao Ai used a pack of explosives to destroy the three thousand fine riders, Yan Gang was frightened by the horse and ran to where he didn't know.
After he finally recovered from his bewilderment and managed to calm the horse down, his expression changed drastically.
"No, General Gongsun is in danger because the traitor has such a magical object in his hands."
A huge sense of fear swept over his body, making Yan Gang feel like falling into an ice cave.
Maybe the court's tens of thousands of troops were wiped out, and even if he survived, he would only have a dead end.
At this time, he did not know that there were as many as six hundred explosive packets as he saw on the plain battlefield.
Otherwise, instead of worrying about whether the entire army will be wiped out, he should consider how to escape with his life later.
The speed of the war horse is unmatched by manpower. Yan Gang has already run halfway here to report the news, while Gao Ai on the other side has not set off for a long time.
Not to mention halfway, even if it was a few miles away, he couldn't bring the news to Gongsun Zan on time.
In Zhaozhuang, from the beginning of the battle to the receipt of Gao Ai's news, Zhao Tai climbed the city wall like a millstone for the first time.
The hook at the top of the ladder is firmly fixed on the female wall, and the soldiers like ants are constantly climbing up.
Either they were hacked to death as soon as they rushed up, or they were thrown down by stones or logs.
The continuous fighting caused the soldiers' physical strength to drop sharply, but they couldn't stop, otherwise they would die.
The enemy's knife will not let you go because you have no strength. This is a kind of physical and psychological battle.
The piles of corpses under the city were more than one meter high. The sharpened ram with an iron front always wanted to get closer to the city gate. Even if the soldiers pushing the ram died batch after batch, there would still be people alive to take their place.
Zhao Tai stood on one side, and his personal guards waved steel swords and shields to block possible arrows and enemy soldiers.
"Duke Ming, the battlefield is dangerous, please stay in the city, as long as we are here."
At this moment, Han Yu was the closest to Zhao Tai, he wiped the blood from his face, his voice was a little anxious.
And his clean and kind face has long been replaced by a fierce look.
"General Han, the partial army in Jingxing, and the city have been captured by Gao Ai."
"It's time to light the fire."
Hearing the word "ignite the fire", Han Yu's already exhausted body seemed to surge with infinite strength.
What have you been playing for so long?Not just waiting for this moment.
"This subordinate will do it."
In this increasingly anxious battlefield, Han Yu would not attract attention if he left with a few people.
The general replaced Han Yu's command position and filled the vacancy in time.
In the distance, Gongsun Zan stood on the nest cart a few meters high to observe the battlefield, constantly mobilizing troops to charge forward.
He knew that the battle had reached such a level that the enemy could hardly hold on.
"The first person to attack the city wall will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold, and the person who takes the head of the enemy general will be promoted to the third rank."
Gongsun Zan continues to use various methods to boost morale. Even though he does not have the power to promote people to the third level, he can no longer care about that much.
He didn't believe that the emperor would treat him badly if he suppressed the Black Bandits. With such a belief, it seemed that fame, fortune, and high-ranking officials were all waving to him.
Little did he know that everything in these fantasies would be shattered and shattered into pieces.
At the foot of the inner city wall, on the side of the city gate, Han Geng held a torch and asked people to remove a blocking stone.
There was a hole right there, and a gunpowder fuse was lying on the yellow oiled paper.
It was originally harmless, but the moment Han Yu put down the torch, it would erupt with devastating power.
The light and smell of burning gunpowder entered Han Yu's eyes and nasal cavity.
It didn't smell very good at first, but it smelled better than any other smell at this moment.
"Let the soldiers who replaced the city guard gather, the day of changing the world has come."
Han Geng drew out his steel sword and stood quietly in the middle of the city exit, behind him were densely packed soldiers gathering.
When the fuse was ignited underground, the smell of gunpowder smoke came out from the pre-set air inlet and outlet. Although the smell was a bit pungent, no one cared.
Until the smoke increased, it was too late to realize that something was wrong.
"Be careful it's poisonous."
I don't know who shouted, some panicked soldiers immediately covered their mouths and noses, only Zhao Tai and the others covered their ears.
Then it exploded, and the scene was like an earth dragon swimming rapidly underground, breaking open the ground in a manner that shook the heaven and the earth.
The continuous roar was transmitted in all directions, and countless people were so shocked that it was difficult to move.
The rocky walls of the mountain were shaking, as if they were about to collapse in the next second. The trees shook their branches and leaves, and the falling stones seemed to pull out the roots of the trees from the cracks in the rocks.
The battlefield has disappeared, except for the big crater left by the explosion, and the stumped limbs and arms covered by the smelly fresh soil, there is no living person to be found on the entire battlefield.
In addition to Gongsun Zan, who had lost his soul in the rear, there were less than [-] soldiers left.
Shield soldiers, crossbowmen, archers, and siege troops were all burned.
"How could this be so, how could this be so."
"How could this be?"
In his daze, Gongsun Zan first muttered to himself, and finally roared as if he had lost his mind.
The nest cart fell down long ago, and among the pile of logs and planks, Gongsun Zan didn't even think about the fact that he was still alive.
"Sky's Wrath, Heaven's Wrath."
"The big guy is exhausted."
The soldiers dropped their weapons like crazy and ran away like headless chickens, but no one cared about them. Even if the generals had stronger psychological qualities, they couldn't withstand the fear brought about by such beyond cognition.
The soldiers can still run, either because of unconscious behavior or because they have been frightened.
But most of the people were limp on the ground, unable to even raise the strength to run.
"Open the city gate and attack."
Zhao Tai said that if he wanted to annihilate the army that the imperial court had managed to pull out, then he would never break his promise.
His loud shout made the soldiers whose ears were buzzing because of their unsteady standing before react.
And just as the city gate was slowly opened, the city wall under Zhao Tai's feet also cracked open.
"The city walls built without steel bars really couldn't withstand such high-intensity vibrations."
It's just a few cracks, and it's not like the city wall is about to collapse, so Zhao Tai wouldn't care.
What he focused on was still the battlefield. Amidst the shouts of killing, the imperial army, which had already blown their souls away, was captured without any resistance.
Even turned on a strange attribute.
That was a deformed belief. When Han Yu and Zhou Ping approached with soldiers, someone knelt down and called out the Heavenly Army, with fanaticism in their eyes.
A total of more than 1 soldiers, as if they had found a pillar of faith, became fanatics.
This made it difficult for Zhou Ping and Han Yu. Prisoners could not be killed casually, and now these obviously abnormal prisoners could not be killed. Who knows what consequences will happen.
"Are you chasing, or am I chasing?"
Zhou Ping looked at Han Yu, and as for who to pursue, there was no one else except Gongsun Zan.
"General Zhou, go ahead. My subordinates can just guard the prisoners here."
It's not that he didn't know how great a contribution it would be to capture or kill Gongsun Zan, but he could give it up without hesitation, which made Zhou Ping look at him deeply and then nodded gently.
"Thank you, General Han."
Zhou Ping knew in his heart that this was a favor handed over by Han Yu.
In terms of credit, although Han Yu only came up with a plan, he cost most of the court's life. This credit has already surpassed all the current Zhao Tai's subordinates.
Even Gao Ai, who broke the imperial court's partial army and captured a city, was incomparable.
Only he didn't make much achievements, even the strategies discussed before the war were not used.
For him, who has the highest status and official position in Zhao Tai's army, it shouldn't be, and his prestige will be greatly reduced.
He urgently needs military exploits to stabilize his prestige, not because he cares about fame, but because he doesn't want to disappoint Zhao Tai.
This thank you, Zhou Ping said it sincerely, and he was not too polite, so he led the troops and went after him.
"With their weapons and armor removed, Duke Ming will decide how to deal with them."
The soldiers of the imperial court did not resist and cooperated quite well.
While Zhao Tai walked out of the city, Gongsun Zan fled under the escort of hundreds of guards and generals.
It's just that Gongsun Zan's condition is very bad, his hair is disheveled, and he is still chanting some unknown words, as if his energy and spirit have been sucked away.
His hair was slowly turning gray, and he aged dozens of years in an instant.
That brave and resolute Gongsun Zan, who was good at fighting and high-spirited, has been abolished since then.
"General, general."
During the rout, Yan Gang approached with bloodshot eyes. His condition was no better than Gongsun Zan's, but the irritation was not as great as Gongsun Zan's.
"Yan Gang? Yan Gang is here, but he brought the Pianjun?"
Like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, Gongsun Zan's spirit recovered.
However, no matter how he looked at it, Yan Gang was the only one who came, and he was still in such a mess.
"Where is the army? Where is the army of tens of thousands?"
Faced with Gongsun Zan's crazy questioning, Yan Gang lowered his head and dared not look at him.
"Liu Jingxing mistook me, Fang Zeshan mistook me."
Heartbroken, Gongsun Zan beat his chest and wailed to the sky.
Then his throat was sweet, and a big mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he fell down from the horse's back.
