Houcheng.

The gateway to the west of Xuansu County.

When Liu Yi of Fang County saw through the conspiracy of Xianbei and the Xianbei army besieging the city retreated, the war in Houcheng was still in full swing.

Moreover, the start time is much earlier than Fang County, and it has already started in the afternoon when the sun is set west.

"Has the news of the call for help gotten out?"

Qin Gun, who already had only one hand, was full of exhaustion on his face, glanced at the fierce battle situation in the city, and asked the deputy general on the side.

"It's been sent!" The lieutenant general was no better, and there was a trace of bloodshot in his eyes. Also, anyone who fights one after another for almost an hour, and there is no intention of stopping, will feel tired!

In fact, in the evening, Qin Gun saw that the Xianbei army besieging the city still had no intention of stopping, so he felt that it was not good, and sent a message to Xu Rong, who was close to the left, but not to ask for help, but to inform the matter so as to prepare.

Soon after nightfall, Xianbei's offensive was fierce, and Qin Gun's complexion changed greatly, and he understood that Xianbei would not stop if he did not take the city. After thinking about it, there were only 2,800 defenders in the city, and immediately sent people to ask for help.

By this time, the defenders had suffered more than half of the casualties, and only the last two hundred men were left intact to prevent accidents.

Yes, Qin Gun once again issued an order for help!

After the adjutant general finished speaking, looking at the still fierce battle situation, he said with a sad face: "How many people are in this Xianbei army?" Could it be that all the Xianbei army is here? ”

Speaking unintentionally, listening intentionally, a bright light flashed in Qin Gun's mind, and he couldn't help exclaiming: "It's happened!" ”

"Quick, immediately send someone to send a message to Xu Duwei again, telling him that it is likely that we are only feints here, and the real killing move may be other cities!"

"What?" The adjutant exclaimed, incredulous, "Impossible! Looking at Xianbei like this, where does it look like a feint? ”

Qin Gun anxiously walked back and forth a few steps, waved his arm and pointed out of the city, and said, "Think about it, from today to now, how many Xianbei people have attacked the city?" At least 10,000 people! But why haven't the walls been breached yet? ”

The adjutant general thought about it for a moment and felt that it made sense, but he still hesitated and said, "What if they are worried about too many casualties?" ”

Qin Gun replied solemnly: "Impossible! Xianbei people are not stupid, nor are they stupid, otherwise how could they take down so many of our cities! The strength of our defense of the city is weakened, and they must be aware of it, not much, as long as 5,000 people attack together, you say, can we hold it? ”

The adjutant general was stunned.

Without waiting for the deputy general to come back to his senses, Qin Gun pondered for a while, and said: "Maybe Xianbei has the idea of encircling the point to send reinforcements in addition to feints, as long as the lord or Xu Duwei sends people to support, maybe he is still halfway, and he will be killed by the ambush set up earlier!" ”

"Last year's war, we suffered heavy losses, until today, it is still not recovering, if Xianbei can let us lose one or two hundred thousand people like last year, I am afraid Liaodong ......"

The words were not finished, but the deputy general who came back to his senses glanced at Qin Gun, and immediately understood the meaning, and his face couldn't help but be full of horror!

"Kill~"

Before Qin Gun could say anything more, the shouting and killing sound came from outside the city, and he hurriedly said: "Immediately pass this matter to Xu Duwei, and with Xu Duwei's intelligence, he will definitely be able to come up with a way to deal with it." ”

Before the adjutant general could open his mouth and speak, he killed the Xianbei soldiers who had suddenly rushed to the city on the left with his one-armed, wielding copper rods and silver spears.

The deputy general wanted to say, "Could it be a mistaken", but finally swallowed it back, because he believed in Qin Gun, and also felt that Xu Duwei could come up with a way to deal with it, even if Xu Duwei couldn't, there was still the lord, the omnipotent lord......

The adjutant general's eyes flashed with admiration, and he hurriedly ordered the matter, and then waved his blade and went to help Qin Lance!

After a long battle, Xianbei finally chose to retreat before dawn, and at this time Houcheng was already crumbling, and the two hundred people who kept Qin guns just in case were also used......

Qin Lance shook off the blood on the body of the spear, and finally fully affirmed Xianbei's idea, which was to use Houcheng as bait.

But Qin Gun was not displeased in the slightest, but laughed instead.

"Bait? Since you want to use Houcheng as bait, it means that Houcheng must be there, otherwise there is no bait, how can you 'lure the enemy'? Hahaha! ”

Qin Gun is already a person who has died once, and he has no fear of death, what he is afraid of is the trust of the lord and the trust of the people in the city!

……

Gao Xian.

When Xu Rong received the news from Qin Gun, the sky was already dark. However, since Qin Gun was not asking for help, he didn't say anything, just let people pass the news to Marudu and Xiangping. Later, in the spirit of caution, Xu Rong ordered the vigilance to be strengthened, and the number of soldiers on the night vigil was temporarily doubled.

In the middle of the night, Xu Rong didn't know what he dreamed of, and woke up in horror.

"Huh~" After waking up, Xu Rong found that he was just dreaming, he was slightly calm, and he had no idea of sleeping again, so he simply took the sword and went out.

Half an hour later, Xu Rong, who had been inspecting the entire Gao Xian back and forth, did not go back to his room to rest, but came to the city tower in the north again.

His gaze crossed the urn city and looked north.

"What is your purpose?" The blackness in Xu Rong's eyes and the night complement each other, and they are full of mystery.

Click, click, click......

Suddenly, Xu Rong's expression froze and listened.

Thundered~

It didn't take long for the sound to get louder.

"The timing is really good~"

Xu Rong's eyes closed, his face showed a heavy face, and at the same time he shouted: "Enemy attack~"

As soon as the words fell, he heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing from outside the city, almost drowning Gao Xian.

"Kill~

Xu Rong looked directly at the black shadows that appeared in the distance, and subconsciously touched the sword on his waist, only then did he realize that he had come out to inspect before, and he did not bring a long blade, so he hurriedly asked his subordinates to go back to the camp to get their own blades.

"Don't panic, as long as you hold on for a while, the brothers in the city will come to reinforce you!"

Xu Rong first appeased the somewhat impetuous night vigil soldiers, and then calmly gave an order: "Crossbowmen prepare~"

Xu Rong's calmness was transmitted to the hearts of the soldiers on the night vigil, and he also calmed down.

The enemy soon attacked, and Xu Rong immediately ordered the arrows to be released in order to delay time. The enemy was obviously outnumbered, and could only delay for a while, but fortunately, the soldiers in the city came quickly, and when the enemy was about to rush to the top of the city, they came to the head of the city and joined the ranks of the defenders.

Liu Yi, Qin Gun and Xu Rong are naturally very far behind, although Gao Xian only has 3,000 defenders, slightly more than Houcheng, but 2,000 less than Fang County. The Xianbei army besieging the city was beaten by Xu Rong with a bag all over the head, and until ten minutes in the morning, Xianbei still had no inch, except for the beginning of the almost attack on the city, and the city head was not even touched later.

After dawn.

The Xianbei army retreated, and at this time, Xu Rong received a second message from Qin Gun, groaned for a while, and ordered Gao Guli to send reinforcements.

At noon, the third and fourth news of Qin Gun arrived at the same time, and after Xu Rong read it, he immediately sent someone to spread the news to Marudu and Xiangping.

For the whole day there was no fighting in the three cities. waited until the evening for Xianbei to launch an attack on the three cities at the same time, especially Gao Xian, the attack was the most ferocious, and Rao is Xu Rong also felt a little dignified.

"I came up with a way to deal with ballistas and catapults so quickly, it's really worthy of sandalwood locust, amazing, amazing!"

Xianbei attacked at night, did not carry torches, just followed the fire light of the city to continue to impact, and the ballista, catapult and other sharp weapons to defend the city can only have the intention of killing the enemy, there is no chance to kill the enemy!

Xu Rong thought about this change, and still let people pass it on to Gongsun Du.

Most of the night, in the siege of Xianbei, the three cities were still firmly in the hands of Liaodong, the difference is that the waiting city is only Xianbei deliberate.

The next day, it was dawn.

The reinforcements from Goguryi arrived in Houcheng, and they followed Xu Rong's order and did not all enter the city to support, but sent 1,000 people into the city, and the remaining 4,000 people camped in a valley dozens of miles away.

This is the place where Xu Rong once camped when he reinforced Houcheng, forming an angle with Houcheng, which can not only threaten the attacking Xianbei, but also support Houcheng in the event of a change in the situation, or evacuate.

At the same time, Gongsun Du, the prince of Marudu, received a message from Xu Rong.

After Gongsun Du read it, he asked people to find Wei Qiutai.

"General!"

"Well, sit!"

"General Xie!"

Gongsun Du looked at Yu Qiutai and said, "Old Captain, you look a lot better now!" ”

Wei Qiutai was very surprised when he received the news that Gongsun Du had summoned him, but now when he heard this, he was even more puzzled, but he quickly replied: "Hehe, General Xie cares. Now I don't have as many things to worry about as before, but it's much easier, and the improvement is naturally much better. ”

Gongsun Du smiled indifferently at the corner of his mouth, understanding the doubts in Wei Qiutai's heart, so he no longer went around in circles, but talked about the news that Xianbei attacked Liaodong again. After speaking, Gongsun Du looked at Wei Qiutai without a trace, wanting to see how he reacted.

Wei Qiutai was startled at first, and then became more confused.

Xianbei's attack on Liaodong, what does it have to do with me? Even if Gongsun Du wants to find someone to discuss, he should be looking for his own subordinates, why are you looking for me?

Wei Qiutai looked at Gongsun Du with deep doubts.

Gongsun Du's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he said: "Ben will give you a chance now, give you a chance to regret it!" ”

"Opportunity? Chance of reversal? Wei Qiutai didn't know.

"As long as you want, you can leave with your own people now, and Ben will never stop you!" The strangeness in Gongsun Du's eyes became denser and denser.

Wei Qiutai was first happy, and then he was a rin, and said secretly: The Han people have always been cunning, this shouldn't be a temptation, right?

Thinking of this, Wei Qiutai couldn't help but secretly look at Gongsun Du.

Gongsun Du was only indifferent on his face, and he couldn't see anything else, but his eyes didn't fall on Wei Qiutai at all, as if it was really ......

Wei Qiutai is the king of a clan, even if it was, and it is a small clan, but the city government is not shallow, and in the face of Gongsun Du's behavior, the awe-inspiring heart is even more.

In this way, the room fell into an eerie tranquility, and the two people who created this atmosphere seemed to be unaware, and both fell into their own world of thoughts.
