Chapter 423: The Beginning of the War (16)

ps: Look at the exclusive story behind "Three Kingdoms: The Four Worlds and Three Princes", listen to your more opinions about the novel, pay attention to the official account of Biquge www.biquge.info (WeChat add friends - add public account - enter qdread), and quietly tell sù me! There is a hill five miles southwest of Fangcheng, the jungle in the mountain is dense, if there is a large group of people hiding in it, it must be extremely difficult to be discovered. And now, Han Sui is leading the 2,000 Dongping Iron Cavalry under his direct jurisdiction, as well as the 2,000 Bao family troops borrowed from Yu Ban.

Han Sui set out from Tongxian and drove non-stop for more than two days, arriving here at noon today. However, because it was not yet dark, Han Sui asked the 4,000 cavalry to hide in the mountains and wait until it was dark before starting to act. This time, the troops were divided to raid Fangcheng, and Han Sui brought a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses. In addition to these 4,000 cavalry, there were 16,000 infantry. If the cavalry and infantry advance together, perhaps, as Gongsun Xu calculated, when Han Xun's soldiers and horses arrived in Fangcheng, Gongsun Xu's reinforcements had already arrived. Therefore, Han Sui directly led 4,000 cavalry to set off to raid Fangcheng first, and 16,000 infantry continued to advance behind.

In fact, this raid on Fangcheng with these 4,000 elite cavalry is enough, and the 16,000 infantry is more mainly used to take Fangcheng and detour to Tongxian to attack Gongsun Xu on both sides.

Therefore, as long as the strategy is right, these four thousand cavalry will be more than enough to take the city.

Gongsun Xu's calculation was also good, the cavalry arrived in Fangcheng from outside Tongxian County, and it would take at least four days because of the terrain. However, Gongsun Xu didn't know that the elite cavalry under Yuan Chang's command was equipped with horseshoes, high-bridge saddles and bilateral stirrups, and even if the cavalry ran through the mountains and forests, it was like walking on the ground, and it would not be affected much at all. Therefore. Gongsun Xu's calculations were destined to be extremely wrong. It was precisely because of this calculation that Gongsun Xu let the reinforcements not have to march to Fangcheng in a hurry, so that when he ambushed Han Sui's troops and horses later. Able to maintain maximum combat power. Unfortunately, Gongsun continued to miscalculate. So much so that the situation turned upside down.

"General Han, it's time now, can you start acting?"

Han Sui and the four thousand cavalrymen had already dismounted from the war horses, and wrapped the mouths of the war horses in linen cloth to prevent the war horses from making a noise, which attracted the attention of the soldiers patrolling outside Fangcheng. These 4,000 cavalry deserved to be called elite, and they sat quietly for a long time, and no one had any dissatisfied looks. Even if it's eating. They only ate the dry food in the time of a cup of tea, and continued to wait for Han Sui's order.

"Well, it's time!"

Han Sui looked at the sky, the moonlight at this time was just obscured by the dark clouds drifting by, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

"Let's get moving!"

With Han Sui's order, eleven cavalrymen stood up from the ranks. If you look closely at their clothing, you can see that they are all wearing the armor of Youzhou soldiers, and their faces are all coated with blood, which makes them look quite wolf. And these dozen cavalrymen. It was the key to Han Sui taking the city.

As early as when he set off, Han Sui asked Yuan Chang for the armor of the Youzhou soldiers he had collected. Sometimes, it is necessary to deceive. The opponent's armor can play a huge role.

"Let's go!"

Among the eleven cavalrymen, the first one was the chief, and nodded silently at Han Sui. Then he waved his big hand, roared, and rode out first. The ten cavalrymen behind him also followed without saying a word. These eleven cavalrymen are in danger of their lives when they carry out the trick of deception, and once they are discovered by the other party, these eleven cavalrymen will inevitably die or die. However. In the past, when selecting candidates, the four thousand cavalry were all scrambling. No one is timid. If you go to the battlefield, you will either get military merits. When you return to your hometown, you will either become a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and become the object of ridicule by others. Whether it is Han Sui's Dongping Iron Cavalry or Yu Ban's Bao Family Army, there are no soldiers like Zài.

Looking at the eleven cavalrymen in the distance, Han Sui watched them move in the direction of Fang Cheng until their figures disappeared in front of him. Han Sui also waved his hand, and the remaining more than 3,000 cavalry also led the war horse to move forward slowly. At this moment, it is not yet the time to get on the war horse, and the movement of the cavalry running is too great, if you get on the war horse and advance now, you may be discovered by the enemy.

"Step, step, step!"

In the dark night, the sound of the hooves of the war horses was extremely clear, and the eleven cavalry charged towards Fang Cheng at an extremely fast speed, and it seemed that there was no tendency to stop at all.

"Whoever is under the city, report the name quickly, otherwise, Ben will order an attack!"

The adjutant general on duty tonight at the head of Fangcheng City suddenly saw the eleven cavalrymen who suddenly appeared, and his face immediately tightened, but he was not too nervous. Of course, the reason why the adjutant general asked was because he saw that the armor on the other party's body was the makeup of the Youzhou soldiers, so he would ask. Otherwise, now Youzhou is at war with Jizhou, if the enemy's men and horses appear, the deputy general will directly order an attack, how can there be nonsense.

"We are soldiers who are asking for help in Tongxian County, and now the son of Lord Assassin Shi is being surrounded in Tongxian County, and he is in danger. If not, report it quickly, if you delay the fighter plane, so that the young son loses, you can't afford it. ”

The leading cavalry chief looked anxious, and at the same time shouted loudly. Judging by his expression, it seemed that it was a matter of course to speak like this.

However, the lieutenant general at the head of the city still ate him.

Now that Youzhou and Jizhou are at war, he also knows about Gongsun Xu leading troops to garrison Tongxian. And these soldiers who asked for help were Gongsun Xu's soldiers, and it was a matter of course for the guards in these places to be arrogant. It is precisely because of the cavalry's tone that the deputy general believes more in his heart, but he will not let the other party in like this, if something happens, he can't afford it. This matter is naturally to be reported to the guards of Fang Cheng.

The adjutant general ordered a personal soldier to invite Gongsun Tao, the defender of Fangcheng, who was a relative of Gongsun Chan's family and was considered a brother of Gongsun Zhan, but he had some remote blood relations, so he was stationed in this inconsequential Fangcheng.

Not long after, Gongsun Tao appeared above the city with blinking sleepy eyes.

"Who are you?

Gongsun Tao had already heard from the adjutant general's personal soldiers on the way here, so there was no nonsense. Ask directly.

"A certain is a personal soldier under the command of the young prince, and now on the order of the young prince, he came to ask for help. This is a letter written by the young son. Take this as proof. Tongxian County is in danger, and I hope that the general will not delay the fighter!"

Shi Chang finished. Shoot the letter in his hand over the city.

But he said that the letter in the hand of the chief was fake? If he showed the other party in this way, he was not afraid that the other party would see through it? Of course, there was no problem with this. Long before the war, Guo Jia had already collected a large amount of information about Youzhou, such as Gongsun Chan and Gongsun Chan's henchmen, Guo Jia knew it clearly, and Gongsun Xu, as the son of Gongsun Chan, was naturally among them. And Gongsun Xu's handwriting, of course, also has. Guo Jia is a top strategist. In terms of calligraphy, there is also such a high attainment, and forging other people's handwriting is just a piece of cake. Therefore, when Han Sui set off, Guo Jia handed over the letter imitating Gongsun Xu's handwriting to Han Sui in case of emergency.

"Come to help!"

There are only four simple words on the letter, and Gongsun Tao, as Gongsun Xu's uncle, also knows a little about Gongsun Xu. Moreover, he also has a letter from Gongsun Xu in his hand. When I took it out and compared it at the moment, it was really exactly the same. Therefore, Gongsun Tao already had some belief in his heart.

"Open the gates. Let them in!"

Gongsun Tao gave an order to the soldiers, and then the gate of Fangcheng City opened, and eleven cavalry rushed in.

"General, now that the war is tight, I hope that the general will not delay and immediately send troops to Tongxian. If the young son loses, you and I can't afford it. ”

Standing in front of Gongsun Tao, Shi Chang still looked calm, without the slightest fear.

"What you say is very true. I'll gather my troops and horses and set off immediately!"

Gongsun Tao heard Shi Chang say this. I was also worried in my heart. He is just a clansman of the Gongsun family, if something happens to Gongsun Xu. And his Gongsun Chan was late for the rescue, and in the future, Gongsun Chan blamed him, and he would definitely suffer. Therefore, Gongsun Tao did not delay and immediately asked the soldiers to gather. There were 5,000 garrison soldiers in Fangcheng City, so naturally it was impossible to send them all. Gongsun Tao left 1,000 soldiers to garrison Fangcheng, and the other 4,000 soldiers were brought to Tongxian to support. Fang Cheng is just an inconsequential city, whether it is Gongsun Chan or Yuan Chang, they may not take it to heart, so it is enough to leave a thousand soldiers.

"Vice General Yang, Fang Cheng will be handed over to you!"

Gongsun Tao gave an order to the adjutant general, and then opened the city gate, and the soldiers lined up and walked slowly towards the outside of the city. Eleven cavalrymen followed Gongsun Tao.

"This strong man, I don't know which general you belong to?"

Gongsun Tao looked at the soldiers who were slowly leaving the city, and he was also bored at the moment, so he immediately talked to Shi Chang in a low voice.

"It's General Wu who is following below!"

Shi Chang's expression was calm, and he replied respectfully.

"But General Wu Quan?"

"I don't know who General Wu Quan is, and I hope the general will forgive him!"

Gongsun Tao nodded lightly, and then did not speak. It turned out that the general Wu Quan in Gongsun Tao's mouth just now was just a name he made up casually, but his heart moved, and he wanted to test it again. Although Gongsun Tao, the general under the command of Gongsun Xu, did not know everything, most of them also knew. If the other person nods, there is a problem when you think about it. However, Shi Chang's answer was also pertinent, just saying that he didn't know Wu Quan. After all, there are so many people in the army, if they are not subordinate to each other, it is normal not to know each other. Therefore, Gongsun Tao's suspicion of Shi Chang is even lighter.

Shi Chang's heart was also relieved, and the secret path was fine. He didn't know if there was a person like Wu Quan under Gongsun Xu, but whether there was or not, it would not be wrong to answer that he didn't know. It's impossible to think you're fake just because you don't know each other, right?

Fortunately, I finally got through the trick.

"I have been stationed in Fangcheng for many years, and I don't want to leave today because of the war. Gongsun Tao looked at the soldiers who went out of the city and sighed in his mouth. As a clansman of the Gongsun family, he was not very valued by Gongsun Zhan, but only gave him an inconsequential city guard. Although Gongsun Tao is unwilling and helpless, it is not bad to be able to get the position of a general who guards the city. Thinking that after staying in Fang Cheng for so many years, he could finally leave. If this time the table is a little better, maybe he can get in touch with Gongsun Xu, and he may be able to leave here at that time, and it is not impossible to be promoted.

While Gongsun Tao was thinking, Shi Chang and ten cavalrymen also walked towards the city gate. The movements are haphazard, and there is nothing suspicious about it. As they approached the gates, one of the soldiers hid his torch. Then let it go again, and then cover it up again. This was repeated three times, and there was no movement. And this signal is a signal to Han Sui.

Now the four thousand soldiers in Fangcheng have left the city, and half of the soldiers have left. And at this time, it is not so easy to close the city gate, and it is a good time for Han Sui to attack.

Looking at the flickering torches, Gongsun Tao's heart fluctuated.

I think when he first came to Fangcheng, it was also on such a dark night. The lights flickered, I don't want to, this stay is so many years, he is almost forty years old, but he still has achieved nothing. When he came from Zhuoxian, he was also full of spirits, and secretly told him that he wanted to create a career. At that time, he passed through Tongxian County, fantasizing about a bright future, what a happy thing. However, the reality was so cruel that it shattered his beautiful thoughts.

Wait a minute. Wrong!

When Gongsun Tao thought of Tongxian, a feeling that something was wrong suddenly appeared in his mind, however, that feeling was fleeting, making him want to catch it but couldn't grasp it. Gongsun Tao stroked his chin and wondered what was wrong. After a while, Gongsun Tao's heart moved, and he finally understood that something was wrong.

"Come on, take down these thieves. They're fakes!"

"Boom, boom!"

As Gongsun Tao's shout sounded, an earth-shattering roar sounded outside the city. If it's not a natural disaster, then. The only one who could make such a noise was the cavalry.

The sudden sound of shaking outside the city confused the soldiers of Fang Cheng, what was going on?

However, the chief and the other ten cavalrymen did not hesitate in the slightest. Now that Han Sui had already charged, with the speed of the cavalry, it only took a few breaths to reach it, and what they had to do now was to make the soldiers of Fang Cheng even more chaotic, so that they would not have a chance to close the city gates. As long as the city gate is not closed, with Han Sui's 4,000 cavalry, it must be an easy matter to take the city.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The Fangcheng soldiers who were still stunned suddenly heard angry shouts in their ears. Then, the eleven cavalrymen who were still their own men drew their spears and attacked at will. Except for eleven, the rest of the people are all enemies, where do they need to aim?

"Ahh

"Ahh

Caught off guard, dozens of Fangcheng soldiers fell in a matter of moments. At this time, most of the soldiers finally understood why Gongsun Tao had ordered them to capture these eleven people just now, and some soldiers also reacted and surrounded the eleven cavalry regiments.

It turned out that when Gongsun Tao was reminiscing just now, he suddenly thought that when he came to Fangcheng, he passed through the interior of Tong County. And now these eleven people came from outside Fang City to ask for help, which is a little unreasonable. Therefore, Gongsun Tao immediately knew that the other party was fake. It's just that he woke up a little late, now half of the Fangcheng soldiers are stuck outside the city, and because of the attack of eleven people, the other soldiers are also a little confused, and now it is extremely difficult to close the city gate.

"Kill them for Ben, and then come back!"

Gongsun Tao gritted his teeth and roared angrily, he was not valued by Gongsun Zhan. If he loses Fang Cheng again, his consequences can be imagined.

"Kill all these thieves, dare to deceive us!"

"Kill!"

The Fangcheng soldiers who came to their senses were immediately furious, and they didn't expect that they would be played around by eleven people on the other side. Immediately, they all roared angrily and rushed up, vowing to chop each other into meat sauce.

"For the sake of the adults, for the sake of the generals!

"Never retreat, there is no life or death!"

The eleven cavalry roared angrily, but it was like the shouts of thousands of soldiers, and the momentum was earth-shattering and terrifying. However, after all, there were only eleven of them, and they were not the fierce generals of ten thousand enemies, how long could they resist in the face of thousands of soldiers in Fang City? In less than ten breaths, they all fell. However, their sacrifice was worth it, because of their delays, Han Sui had already led the remaining cavalry to appear hundreds of meters away from Fang Cheng, as long as there was some more time, they would be able to charge to the city gate, and when the time came, Fang Cheng would be Yuan Chang's.

"Bastard, hurry back! No mercy!"

The charge of the four thousand cavalry was indeed amazing, and half of the Fangcheng soldiers who had already walked out of the city gate were all terrified when they saw this. Scrambled to crowd into the city. However, the remaining half of the soldiers were lining up to leave the city. Now, even if you want to turn back, it will take some time, and the city gate is so big that it can accommodate about ten soldiers at a time. More than 2,000 people were so crowded that the number of people who came in was even less.

Gongsun Tao looked at the crowded and chaotic city gate with his muscles exposed, and his heart was full of anger.

"Where is the law enforcement team, kill the rioting soldiers!

Gongsun Tao roared angrily and ordered, and then. Hundreds of meters behind Gongsun Tao, the soldiers of the law enforcement team rushed up with big knives in their hands and killed the crowded soldiers one by one, but in just a moment, hundreds of soldiers died under the knives of the law enforcement team soldiers. Even so, the soldiers who crowded in outside the city did not stop, and in the face of the threat of death, everyone wanted to fight for it.

"Quick, close the gates for me!"

Gongsun Tao roared angrily, and the enemy's cavalry was already within a hundred meters. It only takes two or three breaths to get there, and if you haven't closed the gates, think about the consequences. Gongsun Tao shuddered a little. It's just that the 2,000 soldiers who had already left the city refused to give up, they didn't have the courage to fight against Han Sui's 4,000 cavalry, but they had enough courage to confront the soldiers of the law enforcement team. Under such a surging crowd, the members of the law enforcement team fell one after another, but only a quarter of the city gates were closed.

"Ahh If there were any more rebels, they would have been reported to the Assassin. Kill the three clans!"

Gongsun Tao roared angrily, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

After all, the soldiers of Fangcheng are the soldiers of Youzhou. They knew that their immediate boss was Gongsun Zhan, the assassin of Youzhou. If it was according to what Gongsun Tao said, Gongsun Chan might really kill their three clans. At the moment, the crowding trend towards the city has eased somewhat, and the city gates have slowly begun to close.

"If you die on the battlefield, this general can treat your relatives well. If not, you will know the consequences!"

There was still some time before the city gate was closed, and Han Sui's cavalry was already about to arrive. For this reason, Gongsun Tao made a loud promise in order to let the soldiers outside the city block the momentum of Han Sui's cavalry. Rushing into the city will die, and maybe it will affect relatives, and when you turn around and fight Han Sui's cavalry, although you will also die, your relatives will be given preferential treatment, such a simple truth, as long as you are an individual, you can know how to choose.

"Brothers, kill!"

"For the sake of our family, everyone rush!"

When the first soldier rushed up to fight Han Sui's cavalry, he immediately led a group of people, and then one took one, and the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers outside the city all grabbed their weapons and prepared to fight to the death with Han Sui's cavalry.

As early as a hundred meters away, Han Sui saw the eleven cavalrymen who had been lured and fallen, and his heart was filled with grief. However, in order to live up to the sacrifice of these eleven cavalrymen, Han Sui suppressed the grief in his heart, led the cavalry to speed up the charge, and vowed to take Fangcheng. Originally, Han Sui saw that Fangcheng's soldiers were fighting among themselves, and he knew that it would be easy to take Fangcheng. Who knows how things suddenly took a turn for the worse, and the soldiers who had been charging into the city turned around to stop them. If it is blocked by these more than 1,000 soldiers, the momentum of the cavalry charge is weakened, and the city gate is closed, if you want to have another chance to take the city, you don't know what year and month it will take. If Gongsun Xu of Tongxian County reacted and sent troops to support, it would be even more hopeless. At that moment, Han Sui clamped the horse's belly harder, and the war horse was in pain, and the speed was suddenly a little faster.

"Soldiers, rush, Fangcheng is in front of you, take Fangcheng, victory belongs to us!"

"Victory is ours!"

Han Sui roared angrily, and the cavalry behind him also roared, they naturally knew that the situation was critical now, and they could not afford to hesitate. Suddenly, the cavalry clamped the belly of the horse and accelerated the speed of the horse's charge.

"Stop them, Ben will assassinate Lord Shi and remember their merits!"

In the city, Gongsun Tao saw that Han Sui and them had sped up again, and hurriedly shouted again. It's just that Gongsun Tao didn't know that it was because of his words that he was exposed in front of Han Sui.

Originally, Han Sui didn't know how to solve the crisis in front of him, and he didn't want the guards in the city to show his head. As the saying goes, if you shoot a man first and shoot a horse first, if you capture a thief before you capture the king, and if you shoot Gongsun Tao, won't the problem be alleviated? As for Han Sui's archery technique, do you need to question it?

"Whew!"

Han Sui stretched out his bow and set up arrows in one go, and the arrows passed through the half-closed city gate like meteors, shooting towards Gongsun Tao, who had just finished shouting.
