"How could this be? How could this be??"

Gongsun Du looked at the camp generals on the shore who had fled before they even got into the battle, and felt that his heart was so cool.

You people, eating mine and using mine, are better than the other on weekdays, and they really go to the battlefield. That's it?

"Ming Gong, do you want to open the city gate?"

Many soldiers fled from the shore and fled to Liao Tunnel City, hoping to enter Liao Tunnel City to hide.

"No!"

Before Gongsun Du could speak, Liang Mao quickly walked up to the city and said, "Our army collapsed before fighting. This is because the army is not afraid of the law. If there is no punishment, the soldiers in the city will not be willing to fight to the death.

Moreover, these people are now like frightened birds. Entering the city will only ruin the morale of the army and will be of no benefit to defending the city.

Ming Gong could let them go around the city and gather in Xiangping. Judging from the attack of the Hebei Army, the Liao Tunnel could only block the Hebei Army for a while, and in the end, they might still have to fight in Xiangping!"

Gongsun Du thought that this was reasonable. If you let these people in, you would punish them, and it would be better to let them go to Xiangping and let Kang'er reorganize them.

"People come, pass a message to the city and let them walk around the city and do not enter the city. Violators will shoot and kill them on the spot!"

"promise!"

The sergeant shouting at the city felt a little cold when he heard the reply.

We didn’t pack our luggage and leave the camp. We escaped. Many people around us didn’t even bring a pancake. If we go to Xiangping like this, we wouldn’t starve to death halfway?

"Those who surrender will not kill! Those who surrender will not kill!!"

Listening to the shouting behind him and the threat at the top of the city, looking at the bodies of some brothers who were unconvinced and knocked on the city gate and were shot on the spot, some people cursed Gongsun Du with resentment, and then turned to run towards Liaoshui.

Don't get me wrong. They didn't go to commit suicide, they went to surrender to the Hebei army.

Instead of starving to death halfway through, it is better to go to the Hebei army to be a prisoner.

"Hurry! Liao Tunnel City!" Huang Xu, who stepped onto the east bank of the Liao River, had a fierce fighting spirit in his eyes.

He always needs a strong military merit to prove that he can be a division commander because he can really fight.

"Gongsun Du..."

Like him is Guo Jin, and he also wants a head of a prince to prove his strength.

"Brothers, it's time for our 12th Army to become famous!!"

What was more excited than the two of them was Zhou Zhan. His 12th Army was attacking cities and camping along the way. If he could kill or capture Gongsun Du alive, he might be the next commander of the army.

However, even if you want military merit, these three people know that they must be fully prepared to attack the city. Otherwise, if they fail, they will not only lose their troops, but also the military court will also wait for them to come.

"Send a message to Commander Zhang and ask him to bombard Liao Tunnel City!"

"Center the artillery and wait for orders to attack the city!"

"Climb your armor first! Prepare your grenades!!"

"Prepare for the siege ladder!!"

Three troops surrounded Liao Tun City in three directions, and then began to prepare for the siege.

Gongsun Du looked at the Hebei army under the city, wondering. Liao Tun City had many high soldiers, so it was definitely not something that could be defeated in one battle. What do these people want to do?

Liangmao then caught the cold wind and rain, quietly retreated and came to the dungeon.

He needs to give Gongsun Du a fatal blow.

Even if you need to take risks.

——Dungeon

"Open the door!"

The prison guard at the gate saw that it was Liang Mao, so he did not dare to refuse, so he hurriedly opened the prison door. Liang Mao went straight to the cell where Liu Yi was. Liu Yi looked up and saw him, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, what's the battle?"

"Ming Gong did not listen to the loyal advice. The Liao River has been broken through. The army outside the city is besieged. The Hebei army has heavenly thunder and fire weapons. I am afraid that the Liao Tunnel cannot be defended..."

"Oh!" Liu Yi punched the ground with a unwilling look on his face.

"General Liu, I thought Ming Gong was my wise master, but now I know that Ming Gong was just a foolish person. Now the army in Hebei is outside, and the life and death of tens of thousands of people are all in the general's thoughts!"

As he said that, Liang Mao knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Sir...What is this doing?"

"The general has been very clear about what Gongsun Du has done since he took charge of Liaodong. It is probably not an exaggeration to say that he is sorry to the emperor and the people, right?

Our Liaodong was originally a part of the Han Dynasty. Ma Ziyu was attacked by the emperor's edict, and it was justified. We raised an army in Liaodong to fight against each other, as if we were victorious, and we would protect the prosperity of the Gongsun family, as if we were defeated, and we would destroy the life and death of millions of people in Liaodong!

If General Liu puts the people of Liaodong first, why not rebel the troops and save Liaodong from water and fire? In this way, the position of marquis, rewards of thousands of gold, and reputations in history are all within your fingertips!

It's a hundred times better than dying in this prison, right?"

Liu Yi wanted to be furious, and then reported to Gongsun Du and killed Liang Mao, but the pain caused by the wound on his back made him block his throat and unable to speak.

At this time, more than four hundred artillery types outside the city had reached their gun positions.

The Guards were originally a unit of heavy firearms. Although muskets were difficult to use in heavy rain, the impact of artillery was very small, especially after tents were built to cover the cannons with wind and rain, they were almost unaffected.

Although most of these four hundred artillery guns are lighter mortars and almost all of them are from sea ships, it is enough for Liao Tun City.

"fire!!"

On the afternoon of June 24, Xingping, the second month of Shenshi

Under the orders of Guo Jin, Huang Xu and Zhou Zhan, 427 various artillery roared together.

This is the battle with the largest number of artillery investments in one go since the entire Liaodong Battle.

In just five minutes, more than 5,000 shells of various types fell into the Liao Tun City.

In the later circulating records of Chinese literati in Liao Tun City, these five minutes are like hell...

When the first shell landed, Gongsun Du was pulled into the Tibetan camp by the guards.

Then, Gongsun Du felt as if he was stuffed into a wooden barrel, and then someone was shaking the wooden barrel frantically.

The explosions, screams, and the vibrations that kept coming made him feel almost uncomfortable and wanted to vomit blood.

When the cannon sound stopped, Gongsun Du hurriedly came out to check the situation. He had just walked out of the Tibetan camp and the shelling began again.

This made Gongsun Du curse himself directly.

But this round of artillery fire lasted only one minute.

But the Liaodong Army, who had been shaken once before, dared not show up at will this time.

"Kill!!"

"Siege!!"

"The whole army charges! Grenade preparation!!"

The three troops immediately launched a charge after the artillery stopped.

A total of six minutes of firepower coverage made the entire Liao Tunnel City corpses everywhere, and countless soldiers were bombed, smashed, and scared to death...

When the Hebei army, the first to climb up the city, waved its sword and wanted to find an opponent to fight, they saw the Liaodong army lying on the ground and dared not move.

Some Liaodong troops even cried excitedly when they saw him coming up.

Finally somewhere to surrender!
Chapter completed!
