Volume 3: Building the Foundation Chapter 101: Edge

Huang.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom Boom! ”

As soon as the hundred guards stepped on the city wall, there was a rush of rocks in front of him, and then there was a muffled sound in his ears, and he was smashed into a ball of flesh.

The patrol soldiers hurriedly beat the cowhide war drums at the south gate, and the blink of an eye alarmed the entire defenders of the city.

"Damn it, emergency military intelligence!" Wang Boren's heart was tight, and he couldn't think about why the official army went around to the south city to raid, and as soon as he picked up the big knife, he rushed to the city.

At the same time, he loudly ordered to the pro-soldier Wang 13, "Quickly inform Wang Peng and Chang Lin, let them immediately gather all the people of Wucheng, bring weapons, and wait at the gate of the southern city!" ”

Immediately, he quickly turned around and sent another personal soldier Yu Seventeen, and ordered in a hurry, "You go to General Han and inform him that our troops will go out of the city to counterattack, and Changshui will defend the city." Let Liu Changshi appease the displaced people and people in the city, and not act rashly, and the troublemakers will be decided! Yang Yichen, this old guy, actually called from the south gate! ”

"Yes! Be! Wang 13 and Yu 17 agreed, and quickly gave the order.

Wang Boren turned around again and ordered the three hundred personal soldiers assembled, "Go out of the city with me, beat the momentum of the official army, and the brothers will fight with the dog officers and soldiers." Yang Yichen brazenly raided, hit the city in one fell swoop, and if he didn't fight hard, he would have to die in the fire! ”

The current Handan City, although it has been built by the Qi army for two or three months, has been dilapidated for a long time and is not an unbreakable city. If you want to keep it, you must fill it with your life.

Almost at the same time, Han Shi'e and Liu Gui also learned about the military situation one after another, and after a brief meeting, they each received a piece of the land and stepped up efforts to settle the people and defend the city.

"Kill!" At the gate of the southern city, Wang Boren took the elite out of the city to counterattack.

At the north city gate, after Han Shi'e stabilized the city, he immediately sent a messenger to make a detour to the south, and reported to Yecheng in the starry night.

…………………………

Gao Si commanded the two armies of Longwu and Hulie, and as soon as he left Yecheng and arrived at Linshui, he saw the messenger who had lost two war horses and was out of breath.

"Don't rush, speak slowly." Gao Si himself calmed down first and sat firmly in the military tent.

The messenger reported the military situation in Yecheng and submitted an urgent document.

"Convene the generals to deliberate."

Cui Luo, Xue Huailiang, Wei Chigong, Liu Zhuang and Chang He arrived one after another.

Seeing that the core civil and military forces under his command were basically all in order, Gao Si let go of his clenched fist and said with a face as usual: "Originally, after my 20,000 troops arrived in Handan, I won the battle, but I didn't expect Yang Yichen to make the first move, and sure enough, the Great Sui Imperial Court didn't want us to spend the day in peace." Xue Shixiong's 20,000 Youzhou border troops, plus Yang Yichen's 30,000 elites, had already surrounded Handan City first. The striker Tanma is frequently heading south, and the follow-up iron cavalry will also come one after another. Let's talk about it. ”

"The official army used 50,000 elites, so much?"

"Why did they surround Handan so quickly, weren't Han Shi'e and Wang Boren defended by more than 10,000 horses? It's so late to report the letter, so that Yang Yichen's army killed us by surprise. ”

"Isn't Xue Shixiong confronting Dou Jiande? Hit us anyway. Suddenly, everyone was in a mess.

No one could believe that the people of the Great Sui Imperial Court were so quickly swarming and killing under everyone's noses.

Gao Si was so noisy that he had a headache, slapped the table hard, and asked patiently, one by one.

"Xu Jingzong, you just came back from Yang Yichen and the Jiangdu Imperial Court, tell me your opinion."

"My lord, the second wave of the imperial court's will has reached Xiangguo, and Yang Yichen has indeed been ordered to go to Jiangdu. Now that he is leading the army again, he must have used the golden cicada's plan to get out of his shell, and he will destroy me when he is dying

Guys. is careless and willing to be punished. ”

"Humph! Yang Yichen has always boasted of his loyalty, and now he has begun to openly violate the decree of the Son of Heaven, and he is really an old and immortal thief. Cui Luo then loudly denounced.

"Not bad. What are you afraid of? An old thief who begs for death, what is the ability. Let me say, my lord, let's fight him with all our might. As soon as Wei Chigong's words fell, everyone was eager to try.

"According to our latest scout news, Xue Shixiong's army will arrive at Guantao tomorrow." Gao Si knocked on the table twice again and reminded loudly.

"Xue Shixiong came all the way from Yangping County with great fanfare, and the 20,000 victorious army is eyeing him, if we go north with the front foot, he will come with a front and back attack, which of you can stand it?"

Everyone was stunned, their mouths closed, and no one dared to boast.

Xue Shixiong set out from Youzhou, and was still confronting Dou Jiande before, and broke the 100,000 righteous army in the blink of an eye. Even if it is discounted, there are still 50,000 strong soldiers in Dou Jiande's department. didn't hold on for a few days, and was cleaned up by the Youzhou powerhouse, and now he can only flee in a hurry. What a difference in combat effectiveness this is?

The regular elite strength of the Great Sui official army should not be underestimated. Facing the enemy on both sides is a taboo for soldiers, so the strategy of fighting and defending must be very heavy.

"Report, Captain Hu was defeated, and the eight hundred cavalry of Yang Yichen's department followed the pursuit!"

The military report was shocked again.

"Chang He, you lead the troops to respond, the eight hundred cavalry are advancing alone, and they don't dare to attack my camp." Gao Si listened to the fire, and looked back to stop the noise.

Then he immediately made another decision and said loudly: "Yuandu, take this brother down to bandage and cultivate." After Hu Sizheng comes back to determine the military situation, we will make a choice of war and defense. ”

Chang He led the troops and horses out of the camp, and the dispute was suspended.

Not long after, two guards walked in with Hu Sizheng, whose clothes and armor were stained with blood, and as soon as they entered the lobby, they reported in a mournful voice: "Lord, lord, the last general is incompetent and has harmed the brothers." ”

"Brother Hu, how are you injured, can you continue to speak?" Gao Si nodded to the guard, and then opened his mouth to ask about Hu Sizheng's injury.

"Don't get in the way, military intelligence first." Hu Sizheng responded first, and then then stretched out his bloody right hand, pointed at Kan Yutu and said, "Here, right here, my 3,000 men and horses were attacked by the official army and Hu Qi, engaged in a one-day battle, and were defeated that night. Three thousand children, all of them were killed and scattered. Lord, send troops to avenge them! ”

"Revenge! Avenge! "The crowd was outraged.

Talking about the story again, while gritting his teeth and scolding, he said: "After encountering the enemy, I sent troops to engage in battle, and when I saw that the situation was not good, I burned the grain and retreated. Later, the battle lasted until the army collapsed, and only then did he begin to fight his way out of the encirclement with more than 200 brothers. All the way south, he was chased and killed by Hu Qi all the way. It wasn't until he met General Chang that he escaped with his life. Lord, take revenge and avenge the three thousand brothers who were killed! In the crowded lobby, only Hu Sizheng's hoarse voice echoed.

Yang Yichen's outstanding and ruthless moves completely angered everyone. Looking at the core generals such as Wei Chigong, Liu Zhuang and He Huailiang, they were full of hatred, each clenched their fists, and vowed to fight to the death with Yang Yichen.

"Poof!" Sha Cheng drew his sword and cut off a corner of the table, and announced to everyone in the hall, "From now on, the decisive battle against Yang Yichen, who dares to be afraid of half a word, just like this case!" ”

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death! The generals in the tent of the Chinese army were all red-eyed, brandishing their weapons, and shouting fiercely.

Gao Si glanced twice in the tent of the Chinese army, returned to the sword sheath, strode to the front of the map, and ordered: "Come on, help the Hu brothers to go down and rest." Others, wait, obey the order to send troops! ”

"Yes!" The two guards helped Hu Sizheng to leave.

Gao Si announced the battle plan and fought Xue for the first time

Shixiong!

"The Youzhou border army has come thousands of miles, and it belongs to the labor division far away. Breaking Dou Jiande in a war, it is inevitable that after a big victory, arrogance will inevitably be indulged, and the arrogant soldiers will be defeated! We only need to exert a force to crush them like an ant. ”

"Hahahaha....." The crowd was amused by Gao Si's self-confidence, and after laughing, the fear in their hearts also decreased a lot.

But after all, it was a 20,000 border army, and it was not easy to defeat.

Gao Si took the initiative to point to the general, "Lao He, you are the most stable in using troops, if you let you lead troops to reinforce Yecheng first and stabilize Yang Yichen, is there a strategy?" ”

"Yes! : He Huailiang straightened his chest, clasped his hands into fists and replied loudly, "The last general already knows that Yang Yichen's officers and troops have 30,000, although they are all elites, they are only comparable to us in terms of troops. Therefore, the last general thinks that it is the best policy to approach slowly, first gather with the defenders of Handan, and then plan for the long term! ”

"It's just that the lord wants to break Xue Shixiong first, and the last general is foolish and doesn't know how to divide the troops."

"What kind of soldiers? I'll have 300 iron horsemen enough to break it! Gao Si shouted coldly.

"Coax!" The bottom immediately exploded again, and the generals at all levels were all shocked, thinking that the lord was joking.

"No, no matter how brave our army is, even if one is ten, we can't beat 20,000 Youzhou border troops if we send 300 people."

"Lord, don't take risks, we can withdraw the soldiers of Yecheng and think about it in the long run."

"Three hundred riders break twenty thousand, impossible!"

"Three hundred riders break twenty thousand, unless pie falls from the sky!" The opposition grew louder and louder, and the curtain buzzed.

Gao Si waved his hand to stop everyone, and said with confidence, "Don't worry, generals, I will tell you the truth." ”

He panicked and explained loudly, "When he set out for the expedition, the Lord of the Yuan Sect said that there would be a foggy sky within ten days, and the general of the Northern Army would die. We still didn't understand what it meant that day, and now that we met Xue Shixiong coming south, we decided that it should be General Xue. As long as Xue Shixiong dies, we will take the opportunity to break through the camp and win a big victory. ”

The reason for this change is that I am reminded of a wild history in my previous life.

It is recorded as follows: At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Xue Shixiong, the general of Youzhou, went south to quell the rebellion. At the beginning of March, a big victory. The group of cobs ambushed them, but Dou Jiande led more than 100 people to flee for their lives. At that time, Jiande ordered a witch to make a fortune, and got a hexagram cloud: the fog was all over the sky, and the image of the death of the general of the northern land. Sure enough, heavy fog fell from the sky, Jiande was overjoyed to break through with 100 people, the Youzhou army roared and the camp collapsed, and the tunnel dominated Hebei! “

In short, Xue Shixiong's strength is about to run out, just in a few days. In that case, why not take the opportunity to lead the troops in person and win a big victory?

"I have already made it a point, even if there is no good chance of victory, it is easy to get away with three hundred horses. That's it! “

"Yes!"

"Fight, fight, kill all the dog officers and soldiers!"

"Fight, fight, drive the Youzhou army back to their hometown to eat!"

"Kill Xue Shixiong first, then beat Yang Yichen, catch the two old men and lead the general!" The crowd was demoralized by the outlining of the great victory, and they all opened their throats and raised their arms and shouted.

After arranging for the generals to go out and allocate military horses, Sha Cheng sat alone in the handsome case, silently used the secret method, and explored the changes in the qi number of the four directions.

In the north, Yang Yichen's army brought the last dragon qi of the Great Sui and roared, unstoppable.

In the east, Xue Shixiong's army was like a black tiger, roaring and roaring, and there was no decline in the slightest.

"There is also the favor of Hebei Providence, where is Dou Jiande hidden?"

The Qi army marched in a big way that day and headed north.

Only 300 iron cavalry, gathered most of the elite soldiers, under the leadership of Gao Si, left the camp at night and galloped eastward.
