Pucha Sujia failed to take Tang Qi's camp, not because he really couldn't take it, but because he suddenly changed his mind.

He decided to bypass the White Bridge and go to the Bow High Castle.

At this time, Cen Shen was complaining in the military tent, saying that his daughter-in-law Lu Shi had a blind idea, which led to him on the way to help, he ran into the main force of the enemy head-on, and almost ran back with his life.

Lu Shi said indignantly: "You only brought 2,000 people, even if the whole army is wiped out, what can you do? I'll press you here, if the battle situation is not effective, I will take two brigades to Anling, and then we will go to Anling to meet, and then go to Xiao Han, we can finally keep the large army. ”

Cen Shen threw his helmet in annoyance, "Day by day, you have more ideas." If I had taken all 6,000 people with me, I would not have been killed so badly by the other side. ”

Lu Shi, who was wearing a Luo skirt, gathered his sideburns and said indignantly: "When the whole army is wiped out, you will be honest, and now there are more than 4,000 people left, and you can defend the city." ”

Cen Shen turned his head sideways and said, "What if the leader of the first one doesn't come to save me?" ”

"Impossible." Lu Shi said firmly: "How many years have he Zhang Zhikui and Huo Zizhen been fighting in secret, and he is screaming in his heart, this time he finally sent him out, he can't wait to take down the entire Cangzhou." I can see from him in the Anling War that this person has a big heart, and he is much more promising than you! ”

Cen Shen was scolded by his wife so much that he couldn't raise his head, and he didn't speak.

At this time, the colonel came to report that the enemy had begun to charge again.

Cen asked, are reinforcements coming?

Xiao Xiao shook his head helplessly.

——

As soon as Zhang Zhikui returned to his camp, he heard the news that Pucha Sujia was besieging Gonggaocheng, and felt that Gonggaocheng would definitely not be able to hold it, so he led his 15,000 men to Gonggao.

The enemy came this time, bringing more than 20,000 people, all of them were archers, and when they shot at Tang Qi just now, the casualties were about 3,000.

In terms of numbers, the Liang army has the advantage, but in terms of combat power, it is still higher than Pucha Sujia.

However, Zhang Zhikui still resolutely sent troops without hesitation, he said: As long as our Liang army refuses to be a prisoner, even if it is defeated, the enemy army will inevitably suffer heavy losses, then we can be regarded as making a significant contribution to the entire Hebei war situation.

In the Cangzhou area, Pucha Sujia is alone, with 20,000 soldiers and horses, which is already a quarter of all the troops of the current Nanjia country.

They still have three left, as long as they take any one more, the male Jia country has no power to return to the sky.

"Kill!"

When Zhang Zhikui rushed to Gonggao, the city of Gonggao was not tall, and there was already artillery fire.

The fire spread uncontrollably, and the entire city of Gonggao seemed to be shrouded in flames.

In the firelight, you can also see the soldiers of the enemy and us, fighting the head of the city, raising swords and guns at the same time, killing and wounding all over the place, and the battle situation is unbearable.

Zhang Zhikui sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Cen Shen, a really good general." ”

The tactics were simply arranged with battle flags, Tang Qi played on the left, Ju Fan on the right, and Zhang Zhikui led a thousand elite cavalry to fight the middle with Han Dang.

The battle escalated suddenly, and the battle was fought on the top of the city, under the city walls, and on both sides □□of the moat, and the sound of swords and guns was connected into pieces, and the earth was the same color as the sunset.

The men shouted and the horses neighed and screamed, and the war knives numbed the arms.

The Battle of Gonggao, whether won or lost, will surely go down in history, and in a sense, this battle determined the key battle of the Northern Expedition.

The battle lasted from the afternoon to the early morning of the next day, both sides were tired and exhausted, the horses were exhausted and a large number of soldiers died, and the remnants of the soldiers could gather into a pile, gather into a pile, and collectively charge and kill, and defend collectively.

Those who couldn't gather in a heap, some of them were already exhausted and fell to the ground, pretending to be dead to recover their strength, and when they saw the opportunity, they got up violently, covered in blood and rushed towards the enemy.

Swords and spears are curled and smashed with shields.

The soldier was on fire, hugged the enemy, cut off his arm, bit the enemy, and burned □ together.

In the chaotic battle, the troops had already dispersed, Tang Yuan didn't even know when the enemy army retreated, he only remembered that the enemy army sounded the horn of retreat.

Tang Yuan's was a little unlucky, he was already wounded, and the war horse was tired early, so he discarded the hook and spear and concentrated on archery.

In this battle, he shot at least 100 enemy soldiers, and there were not enough arrows at all, so he could only find them from the quiver of the corpses of his comrades.

"Whew-"

Seeing the enemy army moving away, Tang Yuan sat on the ground with a □, feeling heavy and unable to stand up.

The Liang army also had some cavalry, which was chasing the enemy infantry everywhere, of course, those infantry were not infantry in the first place, but their horses were tired to death, and they could not be infantry.

From a distance, Chen Bao was still chasing and killing everywhere in the team, but Tang Hu couldn't see his figure.

This is not surprising, based on Tang Hu's physique, his horses must be the first to die of exhaustion.

Supporting his body with a knife, he struggled to stand up and looked around.

Can you see Tang Hu's body?

It doesn't seem to be, or maybe it's been dazzled and can't tell the difference.

——

After this victory, no one cheered.

The Liang army had a total of 21,000 troops, and in the end there were 800 cavalry and 4,000 infantry, among which there were a large number of wounded.

There is almost no one that does not hang the lottery.

Tang Hu did not die, but he was also not lightly injured and was carried into the city on a stretcher.

The battle made everyone so tired that they didn't want to walk anymore, many people fell asleep in the □□ pile, and some people fell to the ground after cleaning the battlefield.

From time to time, enemies got up from the □□ pile, and even managed to escape.

No one chased them, they were sleepy, and they were never so tired anymore.

After a day of repairing, Tang Yuan rolled down from the kang and walked tiredly to see Tang Hu.

This kid has a big life, and although he still has a fever, Doctor Wang said that he must be fine.

"Tang Yuan, you're fine."

I also saw Hu Lanhua in the medical hall, she was light, her horse persevered to the end, she kept running around with Tang Qi, and the guards around her protected Tang Qi and protected her. On the battlefield, she has a relatively easy job, playing small flags, and observing the enemy's hidden arrows, always reminding Tang Qi to dodge, or blocking with a shield.

"I'm fine." Tang Yuan said something in a low mood, and then turned his head away from looking at Hu Lanhua.

I thought she would walk away, but she didn't.

Tang Yuan turned his head again, looked at Hu Lanhua and said, "You are also injured." ”

"Hmm." The girl tightened her nose and looked a little sad.

It seems that her good comrade-in-arms died in this battle, Tang Yuan didn't ask who it was, he wanted to reach out and pat her shoulder, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he withdrew his hand.

Hu Lanhua suddenly hugged Tang Yuan from behind and sobbed.
