Chapter Forty-Six
Under the city fortress, Gao Aocao and Dongfang Lao's voices were piercing. The two of them were almost shouting out loud, but they didn't see the city gate open.
Above the fortress, a general said, "Envoy, this... ”
Liu Gui rolled his eyes and sneered: "The western thief is approaching, and the gate of the city fortress is opened at this time... Hum! If you teach the thief to come in, can you afford to be guilty? ”
Everyone on the top of the city is really looking at it, in fact, the chasing soldiers of the Western Army are still outside Lixu, and the door is opened at this time, and it is just to pick up Gao Aocao and the old two people in the east to enter the city, and I really don't see that there is a big risk... But half of the people in the city are Liu Gui's henchmen, how can they not guess Liu Gui's thoughts? So I had a seizure and kept silent.
I don't know if the army really doesn't understand Liu Gui's thoughts, or if he is upright, so he took a step closer at this time, and then admonished: "If it is not good to open the door, or if you take down a long rope and hang General Gao and the two of you up, how about it?" ”
"That's a good idea." Liu Gui turned his head and smiled at the general.
The general didn't notice the look on Liu Gui's face, and when he heard the words, he was surprised, and turned around to beckon someone to get the long rope down. As soon as he raised his hand, he didn't have time to shout, and suddenly there was a pain in his back, and then the world was spinning, and then his eyes were black...
。。。。。。
There was a loud "pop", and a person fell down at the gate of the city fortress of the river bridge, his head hit the ground and collapsed, and there was a steel knife on his back.
Gao Aocao glanced at it, was taken aback first, and looked up sharply, just as he saw Liu Guiyin's smiling face disappearing behind the battlements. His heart sank, and when he turned his head to look, Dongfang Lao on the other side smiled bitterly, obviously he had guessed the twists and turns here...
Gao Aocao was inexplicably sad and indignant, his throat gurgled, and he suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist, and slashed and chiseled at the city gate with his fate. Dongfang Lao also drew his sword to help. But the city gate is strong, how can it be chiseled open by two sabers? I can't chisel a few times, click twice, the two sabers are broken one after another, and there are only a few chisel marks of different shades added to the city gate.
The pursuit of the Western Army in the south was approaching, and the two were helpless, so they jumped off the trench and hid in the meantime, hoping that the Western Army would not dare to approach, or not trace carefully, then there would be a glimmer of life.
It's a pity that the two of them really underestimated the "determination" of the Western Army's pursuers--- but when they saw that the black pressed a large number of Western soldiers and horses coming, the tide came. Although there was no trace of Gao Aocao in front of him, and the gate of the city was also locked, he was really unwilling, and he was bold one by one, and moved forward layer by layer. . .
The pursuers were cautious at first, lest arrows fall from the city, but they did not see any movement in the city for a long time. Although the big guy didn't know why, he couldn't control it at this time, and he got bold and squeezed to the edge of the moat, and everyone looked down.
How can Gao Aocao and Dongfang Lao, the two big living people, avoid these many pairs of eyes? What's more, Gao Aocao is wearing a bright armor and gold belt today, which is unspeakably conspicuous? When even someone shouted, the voice could be heard ecstatic: "It's him!" That's him! The thieves are here, too! ”
Gao Aocao has peerless bravery, even with his bare hands, he still has the power to fight, although he will inevitably die in the end, most of them can kill and injure dozens or even hundreds of Western troops. It's just that at this moment, he is not only sad that today's army was defeated by the river bridge, the whole army was annihilated, and his good brother Wang Taotang also died on the battlefield, and he resented Liu Gui's villain's vicious calculations, and the grief and indignation in his heart for a while were really indescribable. The so-called hero's end is probably just that.
The same is true of the old man in the East, who is said to be discouraged to death. The two glanced at each other, and each smiled miserably, already knowing each other's intentions.
Dongfang Lao solemnly clenched his fists, and his voice was mellow: "I have to die with the general, Dongfang Lao has no regrets!" With that, he took off his pocket, bowed suddenly, and slammed into the trench wall with a fierce blow, and then collapsed and died.
Gao Ao Cao strongly suppressed the sadness in his chest, did not let the tears fill his eyes, turned his head, and actually laughed, raised his hand, and pointed to the nearest Western army pawn who was about to jump off the trench, and shouted: "You are also bold, you are a character." Come on, come on, I'll give you this great head today, and you will open the country! ”
。。。。。。
Under the city fortress of the river bridge, Yuwentai has personally led most of the troops to arrive and line up in front. It can be seen that the flag is waving, people shouting and neighing, and the indescribable majesty is dignified.
A pawn stepped forward and offered Gao Aocao's head, Yuwentai smiled, and immediately ordered a reward. Just because the reward is too rich, the Western Dynasty is so great, it has to be divided with this pawn year by year, and it is said that until forty years later, the reward is still not finished... This is an afterword, press not table.
Gao Aocao died, and his subordinates were also wiped out, Yuwentai and Pei Guo did not think about it, and their subordinates stormed the city fortress of Heqiao.
The city seemed to be heavily guarded, and after a moment's battle, the front was in vain. It happened that it was already dark, and Yuwentai and Pei Guo both felt that there was no point in attacking at night, so they ordered Mingjin to withdraw their troops.
The next day, he attacked again, and he still couldn't climb the city after four rounds in a row, and he was half angry with Yuwentai and Pei Guo. At noon, Zhao Gui and Da Xiwu led their subordinates to make peace, and made three rounds of fierce attacks, but they were still unfavorable.
Another day passed, Duguxin and Yang Zhong got the news, and they also led their troops from Kim Yong City, and the momentum of the Western Army grew.
But even so, when touching this small river bridge city fortress, there was no way to break the city. The offensive can not be described as inflamed, once Yang Zhong led people to hold up the thick bumper wood, rushed forward regardless of him, and had broken half of the city gate, but found that the city gate had been sealed with a stone, and could not break the door at all, in desperation, he had to sigh and retreat.
A group of famous generals and heroes of the Western Dynasty were puzzled--- it was only the unknown Liu Agui who was defending the city, how could he suddenly get the hang of it, and he could withstand such a round attack by the Western army?
Mo said that the soldiers of the Western Dynasty were puzzled, that is, Liu Gui was himself, and he also felt strange in his heart--- in fact, he had been fighting for days, and he had never personally ascended the city to supervise the battle, but just ordered to block the city gate, and asked the city head to ignore the cost, just beat the arrows, arrows, wood and stones, that's all. It is probably that this city fortress is located in a dangerous place on the big river, the protrusion is extremely narrow, the western army is not powerful, and the head of the city is really well prepared, and the luck comes, but Liu Gui is famous.
Three days and three nights passed, and the Western Army was unable to achieve an inch, and its morale was not low.
The next day, Yuwentai launched a fierce attack, and was about to give the order to raise the whole army to attack regardless of casualties, when suddenly a fast horse galloped and reported that the Eastern Dynasty had surrendered troops to rebel in Shaanzhou, and the whole Shaanzhou was in chaos.
Including Yuwentai, the big guys were all taken aback--- Shaanzhou was lost, and the way back was not guaranteed. In front of the river, bridge, and city fortress are clearly difficult for a while, and it is expected that the Gao Huan army will not be approaching soon, and then it will not be able to advance, and it will not be able to retreat, and it will be under the enemy's back, and it will be a situation where the whole army will not be able to do it. . .
Yuwentai is still unwilling, but the rest of the people feel that it is safe, Pei Guo also strongly persuaded Yuwentai: "Shaanzhou must not be lost, the matter has come to this, you must return to the teacher first!" ”
Yuwentai had no choice but to lead his troops to withdraw from the siege and rush to the west. Despite this, he still left Dugu Xin and Yang Zhong's troops to garrison Kim Yong City, waiting for him to return to the division to fight again after the rebellion was quelled.
