Chapter 224 Surrender!
Chapter 224 Surrender!
Soldiers are precious population resources, as long as they surrender, the other party will generally treat them kindly.
As a result, all the soldiers on the city wall and in the city were subjected to a chain reaction.
One by one, they dropped their weapons and knelt down!
All of a sudden, Gao Changguo's actions cannot but be surprising!
The king was frightened to death, the envoy of the Western Turks was forced to commit suicide, and all the soldiers surrendered before the formal battle!
This kind of record is very difficult to happen even when the strength varies greatly in history.
It can only be said that Gongsun Zan's iron army is really shocking!
Surviving under the rain of arrows, and bombarding the city gate with cannons are beyond the cognition of this era.
In front of such a powerful army, who would dare to resist?
Do you think you didn't die fast enough?
Gongsun Zan led his troops into the city gate very quickly, and found that the soldiers of Gaochang Kingdom had all knelt down, and no one dared to resist.
Gongsun Zan was stunned.
Why hasn't this been fought much, and the opponent has almost surrendered.
Gongsun Zan shook his head.
The level of this Gaochang country is too low.
Before he exerted his strength, the opponent had already fallen.
But this is also good, it can greatly reduce the casualties, if we really want to fight, in the street fighting, our soldiers will inevitably suffer certain casualties.
Furthermore, these soldiers of Gaochang Kingdom will also be their own strength in the future.
With Taoyuan Kingdom's terrifying transformation ability, as long as he is a normal man in his prime, he can make you a part of the Iron Army.
For Taoyuan Country, the most lacking thing is population resources.
Such as weapons and equipment, Taoyuan Kingdom has no shortage at all, it is too abundant.
As long as there are people, how much equipment is needed, and there is no one.
Gongsun Zan immediately ordered his iron cavalry to take over Gaochang State.
Because these soldiers were intimidated by Gongsun Zan's army, it was easy to take over Gaochang.
Many soldiers took the initiative to lead the way and helped Gongsun Zan's cavalry get acquainted with Gaochang.
Soon, Gongsun Zan took control of the center of Gaochang Kingdom.
Gaochang State is about one state, and its area is not too small.
And the geographical location is very important. This is the only place leading to the Western Regions and the golden throat of traffic. Only this road has water. If you change another road, the wind and sand will fill the sky. It is very difficult to pass.
Mastering the Gaochang Kingdom means that you can go one step further to the Western Turks and have the ability to directly threaten the Western Turks.
Moreover, Gaochang has a population of hundreds of thousands, which are extremely precious resources.
Gongsun Zan was very satisfied, this time he gained a lot.
After occupying Gaochang Kingdom, Taoyuan Kingdom's power will rise to a higher level. At that time, it will be possible to advance, attack and retreat. One day, it is not impossible to take Western Turks under its banner.
Gongsun Zan wrote two letters and sent them to Cao Chun and his lord Li Hao.
Report this achievement.
……
On the other side of the Baili Desert.
General Datang is resting at the station.
They plan to rest here for three days.
With the food and water supported by Gongsun Zan, these Datang soldiers were able to rest for a while to recover their strength.
The [-] Great Tang Soldiers were all indebted to Gongsun Zan.
At the same time, the Tang general also sent out scouts to keep an eye on the situation on the front line of Gaochang Kingdom.
In fact, the Tang general didn't expect to find out much information.
Because siege battles often require a stalemate for a long time, it is too difficult to break the city. In ancient times, it was often impossible to break the city after several months or even years of siege.
Sometimes, as long as the logistics are sufficient, the city can be defended until death.
However, this time the general of the Tang Dynasty saw the scouts he sent back on horseback very quickly.
This surprised all the Tang cavalry leaders in the barracks.
General Datang greeted him and asked:
"Hey, why are you back so early?"
"Have you found out the result of the war over there?"
All the cavalry leaders felt that the scout had encountered some danger on the road, so they returned early.
Did not spy on any information.
After all, it was only a day and a night, and it was too fast. According to the original plan, the scout should use carrier pigeons to transmit information.
At this time, the scout took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"The city of Gaochang Kingdom has been breached!"
The Tang general couldn't help being taken aback suddenly!
The surrounding cavalry leaders were also full of disbelief.
The Tang general chased after him and asked:
"what?"
"It didn't take long for the Taoyuan country's soldiers to fight. The time he spent on the road plus the time to attack the city, it took only one day and one night to fight. In such a short period of time, Gaochang country was defeated?"
In the perception of the generals of the Tang Dynasty, this was impossible.
Siege warfare, how could it be so easy!
One day and one night, is this a joke?
The Tang general asked: "What's going on here? Tell me in detail, how did you manage to take a day and a night, even rushing to attack the city, and broke through the city of Gaochang?"
The scout smiled wryly and said: "I can only say that the soldiers of Taoyuan Kingdom are too powerful. The Lord of Gaochang Kingdom fired arrows. These soldiers of Taoyuan Kingdom survived the rain of arrows, at most they suffered minor injuries!"
The Tang generals are all stupid!
Bathed in the rain of arrows without dying?
You must know that the Lord of Gaochang Kingdom also shot arrows at the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty before, and the generals of the Tang Dynasty retreated and retreated quickly, out of the range of the bows and arrows.
Even so, the loss is not small.
Many brothers were killed or injured.
This long-range arrow rain itself is extremely difficult to resist, no matter what, it will kill people.
But this soldier of Taoyuan Kingdom can bathe in the rain of arrows without dying!
It is sensational enough to say this!
The scout continued: "That's not all, the Taoyuan soldiers didn't know what they used, and they smashed the gate of Gaochang Kingdom in a few blows. The sound was really loud! I was scared !"
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present was shocked!
In a few blows, the city gate of Gaochang Kingdom was smashed?
You must know that the most difficult part of siege is to break through the opponent's gate.
Generally, after many years, they may not be able to break through the opponent's city gate.
But in the hands of this Taoyuan national soldier, it only takes a few blows to break through this city gate?
This is outrageous too!
The general of the Tang Dynasty asked: "Then what? So what? Doesn't Qu Wentai have any other countermeasures?"
In the consciousness of the generals of the Tang Dynasty, this Qu Wentai could be regarded as having a certain strength anyway, so he should be able to cause a little damage to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!
The scout shook his head and released a bomb-like message.
"Qu Wentai, the lord of Gaochang Kingdom, was frightened to death. There is no other plan."
"Even the envoy from the Western Turks was forced to commit suicide. I saw the two of them fall on the city wall with my own eyes!"
Everyone present was shocked!
This style of play is really unheard of!
Qu Wentai, who was always arrogant, was actually scared to death!
You must know that no matter how timid Qu Wentai is, he is the king of a country after all, a big man who can control 10 people in Gaochang country!
