C29 The things that happened to cats and mice these days (4)
Outside the Dragon Wolf Pass.
"Reporting to the Young General, we just received a report from the scouting camp, and discovered that a team of riders had left from the southern gate of the Dragon Wolf Pass. There are less than a hundred of them." A man dressed in Academy Officer clothes quickly ran over and stood beside Gongsun Ze Tian and bowed to him.
"Alright, I understand. Let the people from scouting camp continue watching, don't lose them. Also, give me the order to order everyone to finish their lunch after a cup of tea and to assemble in formation. At the same time, inform the troops at the back to pull them all up for me. I want to make them tremble with fear! "
"Yes, your subordinate will arrange it immediately."
In less than the time it took to make a cup of tea, the great army had already finished packing up and was ready for battle.
"Hey, which one of you is in charge now? I know, your heads have already left! " Gongsun Ze Tian raised his horse and shouted towards the city wall.
There was some disturbance among the soldiers in the city, but no one answered. It could be said that they had tacitly agreed to Gongsun Zaitian's words.
Gongsun Ze Tian laughed, and continued to shout loudly: "I've seen a lot of you, but I still don't know what's going on. Are you all really pitiful? They were all abandoned, yet they were still so loyal? I really admire your IQ. It's already a negative number, so it doesn't matter, but you still like to show it to others. "
"Young General, what is an IQ? What's negative? " Deputy General Cheng appeared out of nowhere, I didn't see a shadow just now, and now I ran out, there's a problem, I must be going to Third Uncle's place to beat him up for my report, I have to beat him up when I get back, I'm too irresponsible, I don't know if 'a small report is bad, a small report is wrong'? Third uncle had to be punished to copy these words five hundred times, and also to pay an additional three months' salary.
"IQ is intelligence. The negative number is to say that their intelligence is too low and they have become retarded."
"Oh, so it's like that."
Gongsun Ztian was too lazy to bother with the Deputy General Cheng beside him, he continued to shout towards the city: "Your Lord Zhou has already abandoned you and escaped, you still don't know, right?"
Seeing the soldiers on top of the city wall whispering to each other, Gongsun Ze Tian's smile became even wider.
"I am not someone who is easy to kill. As you have seen, I did not kill a single one of the captives during the many battles I had with your troops."
Gongsun Zaitian paused for a moment, changed his teasing expression and spoke to the city.
"What do you think happened when you were a soldier? To raise his position and make a fortune? For the sake of supporting his family? To make a name for himself? To be a soldier is to protect what you deserve to protect. To be a soldier is to protect the country and honor. To be a soldier is to protect your own home and those you love. Those who are lucky enough to survive a battle with me, wait for an unknown fate, wait for the wrath of the imperial government, and those who are unlucky enough to die, what will happen to their homes after they die? What about your loved ones? Who's going to feed them? Your deaths mean nothing. Why did you die? What do you get after you die? "There's nothing. Let me tell you, there's nothing. There's only one thing, so let your family remember the word 'rebel' for you forever."
Hearing these words, the officers and soldiers on the city lowered their weapons. Even the officials had to admit that the situation before their eyes could no longer be changed. The city was destined to fall. Because when Zhou Jun left, he was treated like cannon fodder like these soldiers were their abandoned children. The soldiers no longer had any intention of continuing to fight, they even talked about defending the city, talked about stalling for time.
"I've said what I should, I don't want to say what I shouldn't. Such a big person, all of you have brains. Think about it, what's worth it, what's the real fight, what's to help the evil." I won't give you guys too much time to think. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, if you guys don't open the gates and surrender, I'll give the order to attack the city. As you can see, there's more than three thousand troops behind me! "
As he spoke, he pointed behind him. He saw dust billowing behind him and flags fluttering in the wind. A large number of soldiers and horses were galloping towards him. The scene was quite spectacular.
The moment this scene appeared, it immediately routed the last bit of the soldiers' will to resist. The irresistible pressure made them feel that it was impossible to defeat the enemy.
When the heavy cavalry arrived and became the last straw for crushing the camels, the garrison general decisively gave the order to surrender and carry out the order.
Just like that, Gongsun Zaitian used his three inch tongue to pry open the Dragon Wolf Pass's gates, yet he still did not lose a single soldier.
"Order, the infantry should stay behind to rest and watch the prisoners, disarm the surrendered prisoners within the city, and scatter the prisoners. If they resist, kill them without question, but do not abuse or insult the prisoners, once found, they will be punished."
"Yes."
"At the same time, order all light cavalry troops to immediately assemble. They are all light armored and will only bring their weapons and two days' rations to follow me. We will set off immediately with the aim of heading to Earth Dragon City."
"Yes."
Looking at the soldier's departing figure, Gongsun Ztian felt a little tired. He had been planning and attacking along the way, which was enough to satisfy the general. However, his weak body and spiritual force had yet to recover, so it was quite a burden for him.
Before Gongsun Ztian could take a break, the messenger came back to inform him that the troops were ready and waiting for his orders.
"Send an order to the Great General Situ. Tell him to leave this place to him and the Deputy General Cheng."
Gongsun Ztian arranged another sentence and then led his horse to the front of the assembled troops. He glanced at the soldiers in formation. They were neatly organized and had an imposing manner that shot through the sky.
"Do you know what we're going to do?"
"I don't know!" The soldiers answered in unison. They truly did not know that this young general was too reckless. Who could have guessed that?
"It's okay if we don't know. Let me tell you, we are going to let Zhou Jun experience what 'chrysanthemum remains, ground injuries' means! Is there anything else that's unclear? "
"Kill ?!"
"Very good, let's go!"
At this time, Situ Qingyun and Deputy General Cheng, who were standing on the southern wall of the pass, watched the team of horses gallop away and didn't speak for a long time.
"General, looking at the young general directing the battle as if he's playing a game, the soldiers all feel that this battle is both easy and fun." Deputy General Cheng broke the silence.
"Simple? Easy? You're wrong Brother Cheng, this isn't simple at all. "You were fooled by that kid's cynical appearance."
Situ Qingyun paused for a moment before continuing: "For that battle, he used a small amount of troops to make Zhou Jun think that we have already fallen into his trap. If you were Zhou Jun right now, what would you think?"
"If I were Zhou Jun, I would feel very arrogant, would feel very accomplished. I have defeated a famous general, I have a feeling of superiority!"
When he fell from that high place, Zhou Jun still wanted to let him feel that he still had a trump card left, that he still had hope. But every time he flipped a trump card, he would be beaten to the point where his entire body would be smashed into smithereens, until his final trump card would be destroyed, where the defensive line in Zhou Jun's heart could be said to have completely collapsed. At this time, Zhou Jun's will had also completely been destroyed, and this Zhou Jun has already lost the ability to think and judge.
"What hope?"
"Zhou Jun's hope is to escape back to the Earth Dragon City. As long as he escapes back, he would have the chance to rebel against us. This is a place where even I can't help but admire that brat. He had already planned for this to happen, and actually sent me to send a letter to arrange this not long after the army departed.
"What kind of explanation is this?"
"After Zhou Jun returns to the Earth Dragon City, as long as he acts along with the imperial court and says that I'm conspiring, I don't have any evidence to say that he led his troops to attack us first. However, we have already occupied the entire Dragon Wolf Pass.
"So sinister. What should we do now?" Deputy General Cheng asked worriedly.
This is also the beginning of Zhou Jun's tragic defeat. They abandoned their own soldiers and fled, but that stinking brat broke through the defenses of the defending army with a few words, added to the fact that he was suppressing the entire army, completely extinguishing all of the defending soldiers' last thoughts. Just like that, they captured the Dragon Wolf Pass without even taking a single soldier.
At first, I wanted to take advantage of Zhou Jun's faint to immediately send troops to attack the city. Fortunately, at that time, the young general did not listen to my advice.
"There's still a long way between you and that stinking brat! In terms of leadership skills, even I can't help but admire him for a bit. "
"This nephew of his is really mysterious. He gives me the feeling of a great general who has led the army for a long time, but he is so young, and I know that he definitely has no chance to come into contact with such things like the army. Where did he learn all this from? This brat is hiding something from me. Let's see if I can spare you! " General Situ gritted his teeth in hatred as he secretly thought in his heart that he must fix him up properly so that he could be honest and open and reveal all the secrets in his heart.
Situ Qingyun paused for a moment, and then continued to speak: "This stinking brat looks like he is joking around, but the entire process is intertwined, linked together. With this kind of method, this kind of scheming, how do you think it is easy to do?"
In fact, after hearing General Situ's analysis and thinking, Deputy General Cheng was extremely shocked. He was also a general leading his troops in this battle, the process seemed simple, and it was kind of playful, but it required a strong overall planning and calculation, as well as the prediction of the future battles in order to be so successful.
General, that young general is leading the troops to chase after Zhou Jun and the rest? After a short period of petrification, General Cheng could not help but ask the question in his heart.
"No, they want to play cat and mouse, haha!"
"Cats and rats?"
"Before a cat eats a mouse, it must be toyed with."
