Yuan Shu has always been a human being, so he feels that he can control his own destiny, but he is wrong.

Such mistakes will cost him an extremely heavy price.

Although he kept attacking and launched one attack after another, it seemed that he was suppressing Guo Peng, and he had no power to fight back, but did he really gain anything?

After nearly ten days of war, he did not seize a camp or climb the city wall. He simply kept losing troops and generals, from the bottom soldiers to the middle and senior officers, he suffered a lot.

Despite this, because Guo Peng did not attack and did not try to counterattack, for Yuan Shu, Guo Peng was "pressed and beaten" by him.

"You all say that the Orphan Army is in danger, but haven't you noticed that Guo Zhe didn't even have a counterattack? If Guo Zhe still had the strength to fight, would he not launch a counterattack? The fact is that Guo Zhe has reached its limit and he can no longer continue to move south!"

Yuan Shu pointed to the direction of Qi County and said loudly: "As long as you persist, victory will belong to the orphan! It belongs to my Chen State! The soldiers must work hard! After defeating Guo Thief, each household will be exempted from taxes for five years! This is the orphan's promise!"

Yuan Shu believed that the final moment of the decisive battle had arrived, and as long as he continued to suppress Guo Peng, he would definitely be defeated.

So you have to persist no matter what.

The five-year tax exemption conditions gave Chen Jun the last dose of heart-warming agent. They raised their last courage and physical strength to launch the most fierce and fearless blow to Qixian County.

On November 26, Chen's army launched a general attack, and Guo Peng climbed the city wall to watch the battle.

He saw Chen Jun launching a charge with high morale, and was repelled by the arrow rain and catapults of his army again and again, and rushed forward again and again.

"Has they taken some medicine? Otherwise, why are they so crazy?"

Xi Zhong looked at Guo Jia strangely.

Guo Jia shook his head.

"Maybe Yuan Shu promised some generous conditions? Otherwise, how could he improve morale? In such a cold weather, they actually chose to attack the city, which was clearly trying their best."

"Yes, they're just fighting to the death."

Guo Peng suddenly spoke, "This is probably the last time. At the end of his strength, Yuan Gaolu has no other way. If this attack is not successful, Yuan's morale will drop greatly and his combat power will be minimized. At that time, it will be time for us to counterattack."

Guo Jia and Xi Zhong looked at Guo Peng and nodded involuntarily.

Give full play to your own advantages to the greatest extent, amplify the enemy's disadvantages to the greatest extent, and then kill with one blow. This is Guo Peng's favorite tactic.

No matter how advantage he has, Guo Peng will never choose to use brute force to destroy his opponent, because he feels that he will suffer a lot of losses in that way. With the premise of having plenty of room, he will make full use of his own advantages to infinitely amplify the enemy's disadvantages, and then choose to defeat the enemy at the lowest cost.

The smaller the loss, the greater the gain, and the faster you can recover after the war and start the next war.

This is Guo Peng’s idea.

Let Yuan Shu attack the city, exhaust Chen Jun's morale and combat power, consume their energy and spirit, and finally, kill with one blow.

The time has come, no need to wait.

From November 26 to 28, for three consecutive days, the Chen army attacked the city fiercely, and was quite stunning to capture Qi County and destroy Guo Peng at all costs.

Yuan Shu even went to the front line to supervise the battle, personally mobilized the morale, and vowed to defeat Guo Peng.

However, the defense line of Qi County is still as solid as a rock and stable as if it will not be broken no matter how much the Chen army made, how fierce the impact was, how fearless the impact was, it was useless.

The rain of arrows, flying stones, boiling hot water, etc. will still come as scheduled.

All kinds of methods were used up, and each army took turns to fight. Yuan Shu's arms were sore and useless.

Chen Jun's final madness gradually dissipated, and his last courage gradually disappeared.

From the first day to the third day, the intensity of Chen Jun's attack dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the end it was soft, giving people the feeling that they could push back without any effort.

So, the opportunity has come.

On November 29, Guo Peng ordered the entire army to counterattack.

The temperature continued to fall during this period. Although it did not snow again, the temperature did not rise. For Yuan Jun, this was even more cruel than poison.

Yuan Shu lived in a warm tent and felt very comfortable, and other soldiers could not stand it.

There are many people who die of battle, illness, and freezing to death. There are a lot of combat and non-combat reduction every day. It’s okay to say that non-combat reduction is really unbearable.

Lu Mian advised Yuan Shu to retreat to Longkang County to set up defense several times, and not to put too much pressure on the logistics. Yuan Shu just refused to listen and must crush Guo Peng to death. As a result, Guo Peng was not crushed to death, but instead took the initiative to attack.

The front-line Chen army general Qiao Rui immediately informed Yuan Shu about the matter.

"What? Guo Zhe dares to take the initiative to attack Gu?!"

Yuan Shu was very surprised and annoyed, then his face turned red and waved his hand: "Line up! Prepare for war! I want to lead the army to defeat Guo Zhe!"

At Yuan Shu's order, the Chen army prepared for war. Although after ten days of attack, the Chen army suffered heavy losses and many sick people were very sick, but 70,000 to 80,000 people could still be collected.

Under Yuan Shu's order, 70,000 to 80,000 troops were reorganized and prepared for war. Facing Guo Peng's personal attack, he did not show any weakness.

If you don't look at the soldiers in ragged clothes and disheveled soldiers.

On the other hand, Guo Peng's side has neat military uniforms, distinct armor, and strict military appearance. At first glance, he is a well-trained army.

Lu Mian watched Guo Peng's military appearance, then looked at his military appearance, and was worried, so he went to persuade Yuan Shu to withdraw his troops and return to the camp, relying on the camp to fight a defensive counterattack, rather than going out to the camp to fight.

"The Guo Zhe army is well-behaved and has distinct armor. Our army has been fighting for several days, and the soldiers are tired and their combat power has decreased. At this time, it is probably unfavorable to fight with the Guo Zhe."

Yuan Shu flatly refused.

"How can the emperor's soldiers trade and retreat? If you retreat here, Guo Zhe will definitely think that Gu is afraid of him! Absurd! Pass the order and beat the drum! Armour! Face Gu Zhe's army directly!"

At Yuan Shu's order, the war drums sounded, and Chen's army began to move forward slowly. When Lu Mian saw that things were not possible, he could only move forward helplessly.

He always felt that this battle could not be won, but he hoped that miracles would happen.

Surrounded by his personal guards, Guo Peng led his army to the battlefield and raised the coaching flag in the safest place, indicating that the commander of the battle was himself. Yuan Shu quickly observed Guo Peng's coaching flag, and on the spot he gritted his teeth and ordered the entire army to attack.

It was obviously Guo Peng who led his troops to attack, but it was Yuan Shu who first launched the attack.

Guo Peng felt it was funny and waved his hand.
