Gongshan Buxiu's repeated attacks all came back in vain.
When Lu Housong heard the shouts of killing outside becoming less and less, he knew that it was Kong Qiu and the others who were defending, and his worries turned into joy.
Sure enough, Confucius soon came to report, indicating that the enemy had been repulsed.
After hearing this, Luhou Song finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still said with some worry:
"It's just that this Gongshan Mountain is not intimidated by the large number of people. Although it can be resisted for a while, I'm afraid it won't be able to resist for long..."
Confucius replied:
"Please be at ease, Your Majesty. Reinforcements will arrive in the near future. General Gongshan Buxiu will definitely be defeated by then!"
Lu Housong couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. The jade strings in front of him touched each other, making crisp sounds.
"Okay! Everything will be settled by Lao Kongqing!"
…
After fighting for a whole day, Li Ran and Kong Qiu were watching and commanding from a high pavilion in the distance.
They actually knew very well that Gongshan Buxuan had not used all his strength. Just because of the terrain of the high platform, even if he attacks with the whole army, it will be difficult for him to take advantage.
Fan Li stood aside and murmured:
"This Ji Wuzi was really cunning back then. It's no wonder that Ji Pingzi was so confident and lured Lu Zhaogong into his trap step by step. Back then, don't say that Lu Zhaogong himself didn't have many troops. No matter how many troops he had, I’m afraid it’s of no use!”
Li Ran couldn't help but nodded when he heard this.
"Yes, although this platform looks ordinary, it actually has hidden mysteries and endless mysteries!"
Fan Li sighed:
"Perhaps, this is what Brother Changqing once said, 'The terrain is aided by soldiers'?"
Li Ran nodded again:
"Well, this place really makes full use of the current terrain. It is built in Gaoyang and can store grain widely. It can be said that it takes advantage of the terrain!"
Fan Li looked down from a high place again and said thoughtfully:
"Although the high platform here is solid, some flaws can be seen after this battle. If we want to build such a stronghold in the future, we may make a circle and three rings to echo the inside and outside!"
"The high platform can be used as a center in the middle, with bows and crossbows as guard, and from there, the first ring is for infantry, and the second ring is for chariots, which can pass through to connect with various places. The third ring can build a trench to resist Enemy tanks cannot enter..."
While Li Ran listened, he looked at Fan Li with great satisfaction.
He knew very well that the Fan Li in front of him might one day rise like a superstar like Sun Wu.
…
The offensive launched by Gongshan Buxuan suffered a heavy setback, and he could not help but frown when he returned to the camp.
After experiencing the power of this high platform, Gongshan Buxuan had no choice but to ask his soldiers to suspend their offensive.
But Uncle Sunnoi was very puzzled by this:
"Sir! We were about to capture it. We were attacking the platform overnight, but why did we stop the attack? We can't do our best today. Once our morale is dampened, it will be even more disadvantageous for us!"
When Gongshan Buhan heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:
"Hey... How can I not know about soldiers? But it is really difficult to display military force on the high platform here, and it is impossible to capture it. Moreover, there is Li Ran on the platform, who is unpredictable. If we attack blindly, I am afraid it will only increase casualties. That’s it!”
In fact, Uncle Sunnoi was well aware of today's defeat. How could he not know that there must be more mysteries hidden in this Ji family's platform?
Therefore, at this moment, he couldn't help but stamp his feet and said:
"Hey! It's so abominable. Are you going to give up like this?"
Hearing this, Gongshan Buhan narrowed his eyes and sneered:
"Huh, you can't give up! In fact, a few days ago, I also found the servant who built Ji's Tower, and learned from him that there was a secret passage on the mountain, which was said to be able to go straight through. high tower!"
"Maybe we can send someone to sneak into it and coordinate the inside and outside!"
Uncle Sun couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this:
"Oh? There is such a thing? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Gongshan Buxuan sighed:
"It's just... this place is very dangerous. Not too many people can go in at one time, so some calculations are needed..."
Uncle Sunye also made some calculations in his mind, then stepped forward and said:
"Even if not many people go in, you still have to give it a try! Or you can feign an attack on the surface first, and then order people to sneak in!"
Gongshan Buxiang heard this plan and couldn't help but nodded and said:
"Hmm... that's not bad! Okay! Without further ado, we'll send someone there tonight!"
Therefore, Gongshan Buxuan immediately sent out sixteen masters and ordered the servant to lead the way and ordered them to quickly go around to the back mountain.
The hidden path that Gongshan Buxuan mentioned was very secret.
Back then, the reason why Ji Pingzi built this secret passage was actually to leave a way out for himself.
Therefore, most of the slaves who built this secret tunnel were directly executed in the end. And those laborers who were lucky enough to escape remained anonymous and did not dare to show their faces again.
Until not long ago, Gongshan Buxuan deliberately set a heavy reward in order to conquer Ji's platform as soon as possible.
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. The descendants of those slaves in those days, under the temptation of heavy profits, indeed revealed this key information to Gongshan Buxuan.
…
Back on the high platform, it was night, and everyone once again repelled the attack from the audience.
However, what everyone did not expect was that Gongshan Buxuan's night offensive seemed to have no beginning or end.
It was more like a test than an attack.
However, since it was defended, everyone did not think about it, and most of them were cheering loudly.
Only Li Ran frowned for a while, feeling that something was wrong.
Seeing this, Gong Eryue couldn't help but ask:
"What's on your mind, sir?"
Li Ran replied:
"Tonight's offensive is very strange...it seems more like a feint attack!"
Hearing this, Gong Eryue couldn't help but said in surprise:
"Oh? Sir, what you mean is that the other party may have some conspiracy?"
Li Ran carefully reviewed the layout of Ji's Tower, but he couldn't think of any flaws, so he could only say:
"Is it true that Gongshan Buhan is at the end of its tether? ... No, we still need to pay more attention tonight!"
Fan Li said from the side:
"Sir, don't worry. Kong Zhongni has just ordered that everyone must be on guard tonight. Logically, there shouldn't be any problems!"
Li Ran just nodded "Yeah" and then went into the inner room to study the terrain map.
As for Gong Eryue, after settling Liguang to rest, she stood up, picked up her sword, and quietly walked out of the house.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Dang was seen dozing off at a corner, holding a halberd in his arms.
Gong Eryue approached quietly and suddenly shouted:
"Hey! Chu Dang!"
Chu Dang was shocked out of his mind by Gong Eryue's call.
"Ah?! Where?... Where! Where is the villain? Take my halberd!"
When Gong Eryue saw it, she couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"I asked you to stay here as a guard, but why did you doze off here instead?"
Chu Dang couldn't help but blush after being scolded by Gong Eryue:
"Oh...it turns out to be Miss Yue. Miss Yue is right. Chu Dang is lucky to be here patrolling."
Gong Eryue and him shook their heads helplessly, and warned:
"Big man, please don't be lazy tonight. Sir, the situation is very dangerous tonight, so we must be more vigilant!"
"I'll leave this to you first, I have to go look elsewhere."
After hearing this, Chu Dang didn't dare to be negligent anymore. He quickly patted his chest and replied:
"Don't worry! Chu Dang is here to guard you. If you fall asleep again, let Miss Yue handle it!"
Gong Eryue couldn't help but smile again when she saw Chu Dang's stupidity, and then she shook her head helplessly and went elsewhere.
