Gao Si waved his army north, making plans to defend the enemy abroad.

Yang Yichen's solicitation was set up in Xingtai, Xiangguo County, and after his son Yang Yuanlin integrated the army, he went all the way south.

Wu'an County, under the city of Handan, the two armies encountered.

Because Handan City was slaughtered by Zhang Jin not long ago, it was deserted when the sky was empty.

The Qi army arrived first, and the vanguard Wang Boren found that he had encountered an official army in front of him, so he immediately seized the city.

The sound of "Bang Bang Peng" was unconscious, and the boulder roared through the air and fell, causing the Qi soldiers below who could not dodge to be killed and wounded.

The banner of the "Gao Qi" Chinese army is Zhuo Lichengtou, Gao Si raised his sword and roared and shouted, his face was like steel casting, and he kept mobilizing the soldiers who defended the city, picked up simple swords, shields and spears, and went into battle to meet the enemy.

"Kill!" Peng Shi roared, wheezing like a bellows pulling, mustered up the last strength in his body, swung his knife to meet it and slashed directly, only to hear the sound of "poof", and ruthlessly chopped an officer and soldier off the city, and fell to the death of the other party's blood.

The comrades around him also tried their best to block, knocking the Sui soldiers who climbed up to the city and falling heavily to the ground.

The corpses of both the enemy and the enemy were crisscrossed and piled up under the city, and they had been piled up into a hill. Blood continued to flow out of the bones and converge into a river, rushing across the land.

The two armies screamed and shouted to kill, and almost every moment, someone was killed.

Suddenly, there was chaos one after another on the head of the city, and several groups of elite officers and soldiers broke in, slashed and slashed, and the blood and light rolled like waves, like a blade cutting through tofu, and they were about to tear through the protection of Handan City.

The leader didn't even use a sharp weapon, he directly operated a mace, and dozens of catties of iron rods swept away, and his own side suffered casualties, and the Sui army behind swarmed up, making the Qi army in the area precarious.

"Look at the fight!" Seeing this, Wei Chigong knew that if this continued, if the city was broken, the morale of the Qi army would inevitably plummet.

Nai rose up bravely, stepped forward with a clamour, and shouted: "Go! ”

I only heard the sound of "Dangdang" like thunder and lightning, and the person who rushed into the battle roared angrily, and the Tianling Gai was smashed, stunned, and rushed to the city.

As soon as this man died, the Sui army was finally demoralized and the offensive was frustrated.

"Death to those who stand in my way!" Yu Chigong shouted and fought, almost like the thunder god came into the world, smashed with two whips, blocked the invincible, killed dozens of people in a row, and stabilized the position of the head of the city in the west.

The officers and troops receded like a tide.

The smoke curls in the afterglow, and the sunset is still shining.

Under the banner of hunting, Gao Si found that his vision was full of blood-stained scarlet.

In the distance, the Sui army's main formation finally retreated, and Yang Yuanlin retreated ten miles to the village.

For three days, since the beginning of this encounter, Yang Yuanlin can be said to have used various means in turn, attacking day after day, and even at any cost, arresting the civilians around the nearby Handan City, and driving tens of thousands of people to attack the city as cannon fodder.

As soon as the means of attacking the main force appeared, even the officers and soldiers felt that Yang Yuanlin was too ruthless.

These tens of thousands of people were driven to the city with only iron guns, and there were elite officers and soldiers mixed in it, and the fighting was even more tragic.

The battle lasted for three days and three nights, nearly 50,000 Qianshou (people) had all died, and the Sui army broke out many crazy attacks, but they were all beaten by Gao Si's timely deployment of troops.

Hearing the order to withdraw the troops below, Gao Si ordered a team of guards to come forward and clean up the situation one by one, mend the corpses one by one or push them down the city, and rescue their own people.

Listening to the sound of armor, Gao Si looked back and saw that it was Han Shi'e and Wang Boren who came together.

"If the lord continues to stalemate, I'm afraid that if there is a change in the rear, we won't be able to hold on." Han Shi'e said, he thought about it more: "We have only pacified Wei County for more than three months, and now we are pouring troops out, so we must take precautions." ”

"The morale of the officers and soldiers has been weakened, and the real combat strength is only 2,000 veterans." Wang Boren also said: "I suggest going out of the city for a decisive battle." Be upright and fight to the death. ”

"Now out of the city, the victory or defeat is only five or five." Gao Si is expected to be supernatural, and he sees the situation most clearly: "Now Yang Yuanlin's headquarters elite has not yet been dispatched, once we can't help it first, the result of the wave battle will be defeat, and life and death will not be able to be autonomous at that time, and we must endure it." ”

Hearing this, the two generals smiled bitterly, as Gao Si's subordinates, they also faintly knew some of the lord's abilities, and knew that what they said was true.

Wang Boren touched the knife, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Hey, then consume it." I see how long Yang Yuanlin's grandson can be rampant! ”

"Yes, what Brother Boren said is that now I can't help it before anyone else."

Gao Si suddenly said: "Wang Boren, from tomorrow onwards, you will defend the city alone, and I will only give you 3,000 men and horses." Do you have the courage to take orders for another seven days? ”

Wang Boren said angrily: "The last general swears to complete the task!" ”

Gao Si and Han Shi'e went down to the city, withdrew the main force of 15,000 men and horses, and recuperated in preparation for the decisive battle.

Under the city, on the platform, Yang Yuanlin looked indifferently at the ancient city of Handan.

"How much strength do you have left?" Turning his head, he asked a siege general.

"Five points!" The besieging general raised his head and said with a cold face.

"Yes, I didn't expect that there would be such a fierce general among the thieves, Uhatu actually folded under the city, the army will continue to attack the city tomorrow, and it must be taken in one fell swoop in three days."

"Yes!" The horn sounded, and the Sui army retreated to the barracks.

At this time, in Handan City, there were torches, and the group was discussing inside.

The most important people are Gao Si, Cui Luo, Han Shi'e, Wang Boren, Wei Chigong, Chang He, Liu Zhuang and other generals, and the three brothers Peng Shishi and Mai are not among the core decision-makers.

"What are our casualties now?"

"The 20,000 soldiers of the government when we set off have already fought out 2,000, and there are more than 1,000 wounded, which are all the capital for us to base ourselves in Wei County and fight the world in the future." Cui Luo had already shouted: "In this way, Yang Yuanlin's kid deliberately consumed us!" ”

"Don't be afraid, from tomorrow, my king will take 100,000 people and 3,000 people to defend the city alone, and your main force will be repaired, and then the officials and troops will be caught off guard." Wang Boren said with a big grin: "If I want to make a contribution, don't rob me!" ”

"My lord, things are difficult here, if the main force is withdrawn, then it will be difficult to defend the city." Cui Luo was still uneasy, and said: "According to my opinion, it is better to send a general to surrender to the official army, hum, forgive this kid can't see through." ”

Hearing this, Gao Si's heart couldn't help but feel a little throbbing, the most famous plan was Zhou Yu's fight against Huang Gai, but more often than not, the strategy failed, and the person who surrendered by fraud died in vain.

"This can be considered, my lord, Yang Yuanlin led the troops for the first time, and he was eager to make a contribution, if he sent someone to surrender, he might really accept it."

"There are also Sun Anzu, Wang Bo and other rebels, all of whom started in a hurry, and the soldiers and horses suddenly rose to more than 100,000, and they didn't have much combat power at all, and it was difficult to resist Yang Yichen. Once these two families are gone, when Yang Yichen returns to the army, we will never be an opponent. Han Shi'e said.

Gao Si couldn't deny it, and asked again: "Cui joins the army, is there any other way?" ”

Cui Luo hesitated, and finally said: "If you want to win, you must come up with a strange plan, you can choose the person who surrenders by fraud as a dead soldier, and when you meet the officials and soldiers, you will assassinate the main general Yang Yuanlin." ”

"What?" All the generals looked at it and doubted Cui Luo's intentions.

It is not known whether the deception was successful or not, and he even had to assassinate Yang Yuanlin.

The risk is too great, but if it succeeds, Yang Yuanlin's department will collapse immediately. However, in this barracks, the battalion of 100 people is all guarded by separate columns, and they are heavily guarded.

What's more, Yang Yuanlin is a tiger general, and his soldiers are fierce and have a strict bearing, how can there be any good opportunity for a dead assassin to attack?

In history, he was good at beheading operations, Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, and his repeated success also depended on the right time and place.

Cui Luo saw everyone's eyes, and said helplessly: "This deceitful soldier must be brave, according to a certain opinion, there are only three in our army that meet this condition: Wei Chi Gong, Liu Zhuang, and Wang Boren." ”

"......" Everyone was even more speechless, these three people were all generals, how could they be easily sacrificed.

"The last general (the last general) is willing to go!" Everyone present was shocked.

I saw that Wei Chigong and Liu Zhuang were out of the queue almost in no particular order, and asked for orders to go to the official army camp to surrender.

Gao Si suddenly remembered an article in later generations that explained Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's use of soldiers, in which he especially praised Lao Zhu's 'Facing him as an upright teacher, you can gather the spirit of a king!' ”

That is to say, only by defeating the enemy head-on can the opponent be convinced; Use trickery to win, even if the enemy is defeated, he is not willing to admit it.

If the general is sacrificed for the sake of a victory, how can the people be united?

Thinking of this, Gao Si waved his hand violently, stopped the second general, and said categorically: "The two generals are back, if they send the general to be a dead soldier for the sake of victory, how can they comfort the brave?" It has been decided that he will go out of the city in seven days for a decisive battle! At that time, there will be 8,000 soldiers in the official army, and he will break 8,000, and I will live and die with you! ”

"Live and die together!" The generals were overjoyed and expressed their desire to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers.

Woo woo, the words fell, and suddenly, a horn came from a distance outside the city, which made the people present shake in their hearts.

The night was dark, and it was rare for the army to attack the city with torches overnight.

But outside the city, there were fires everywhere in the official and military camps, and the guards at the head of the city came to report, and said with a solemn face: "The officers and soldiers are going to attack the city overnight!" ”

Everyone hurriedly wanted to go to the city, but Gao Si stopped and said calmly: "Wang Boren, I'll leave it to you." ”

Wang Boren suddenly got up, clasped his fists and saluted: "Go to a certain house!" "Turn around and sink into the darkness like a leopard.

Not long after, I came to the head of the city and carefully identified it.

Sure enough, in the distance, there were Sui soldiers carrying cloud ladders to charge, and hundreds of elite armored men were killing towards the city, and the sword light and fire light were connected, like the wind and frost on the frontier, and the cold was severe.

I saw the Sui army move in a big way, and at this time, there was a horn sounding, and I saw the flag behind it shaking and launching a Suzi flag, which was killed under the escort of thousands of elites.

After a while, he saw that a cavalry with a small flag had already arrived at the city, and shouted: "Listen to the thieves above, wait for a stick of incense to surrender, otherwise I Su Dingfang will break the city...... Thou shalt regret it too late! ”

At this moment, looking from afar, a young general scolded Fang Xuan, a silver gun and a white horse, and the murderous edge penetrated the sky.

The moment Wang Boren saw this person, he intuitively decided that Su Dingfang was a rare enemy, and with a big knife in his hand, he said sharply: "Grandpa Wang 100,000 is here, Xiao'er dares to come up and send him to death!" ”

Life was like thunder, and it also resounded in front of the two armies.

Su Dingfang sat upright and did not move, but he was rare and patient, and when he saw that it didn't work, he waved his long sword and ordered: "Attack!" ”

"Kill!" For a while, the Sui army rushed up with a shout, like a hovering fire dragon, roaring and flying towards Handan City.

"Kill!" Wang Boren also roared, raised his sword and stood at the head of the city, vowing not to retreat.
