Chapter 250: Cutting off the enemy's rear road

What Yao Xiang wants is a full command power, otherwise, when attacking Tianjing Pass, he can only command this part of the soldiers and horses under his command. He was reluctant to give all his family wealth here, but he didn't care about the words of those Yan soldiers.

Therefore, when the attack continued that night, he ordered to attack with all his might at all costs, and anyway, he piled up with his human lives.

Until dawn, the defenders of Tianjing Pass could not support it, and the waiting reinforcements had not arrived for a long time. In the end, he had to abandon the pass and escape.

After taking Tianjing Pass at a great cost, Yao Xiang, Murong Qiang and others quickly left the pass and entered the territory of Gaodu County.

"General Murong, the Huashan Army doesn't know when it will arrive, so we must be on guard. Otherwise, when we attack Gaodu County, the Huashan Army will suddenly come out, and I'm afraid that it will be unfavorable to us! On the march, Yao Xiang suggested to Murong Qiang.

"The road to Shangdang in the east of the river is now only in the area of Duanshi County, Huize County, as long as the road there is blocked, the Huashan Army will not be able to enter for the time being. When we take Gaodu County and other places, why be afraid of their Huashan Army! This is an urgent matter, and it cannot be done by a man who is not mighty. General Yao is brave and resourceful, and this matter must be yours! Murong Qiang listened, nodded involuntarily, and after thinking for a while, he said.

Hearing this, Yao Xiang couldn't help but curse in his heart.

When he made this suggestion, he actually planned to let Murong Qiang send his Yan army soldiers and horses to block the Huashan army. In order to consume Murong Qiang's strength, he preserved his strength and led people to attack the city and reap the benefits.

But this Murong Qiang is obviously not stupid, after two battles in a row, the two hard bones of Wanzi Chengguan and Tianjing Pass were basically beaten down by Yao Xiang, and this credit is already big enough.

In his opinion, it will be much easier to hit Gaodu County and other places next. This is a good opportunity to get credit, how can Yao Xiang be able to snatch it.

Send him to a remote place to block the Huashan army, and take a large team of people to take Gaodu County, that is the right reason.

The two of them have their own ghosts, and they both want to let the other party block the Huashan army. But in this secret battle, Murong Qiang has an advantageous position, after all, he is the boss, and his official position and status are higher than Yao Xiang.

If Yao Xiang didn't obey the order, let alone the benefits, he didn't get a point for his merit at that time, but he would be asked.

Thinking of this, Yao Xiang no longer insisted on it, and after thinking about it, he decided to change his strategy.

"Since the general is so important, Yao should obey his orders. However, the siege was too tiring before the attack, and I was afraid that I would not be able to fight for a long time. In order to avoid ruining the general's big event, why don't you let my brother Yao Chang lead the troops? Please also ask the general to give 4,000 soldiers and horses to his command! Yao Xiang hugged his fists.

When Murong Qiang heard this, he pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed. He didn't want to completely tear his face with Yao Xiang, besides, it was not easy to attack the city, maybe Yao Xiang would be needed when the time came.

After getting permission, Yao Xiang called Yao Chang aside and secretly admonished him for a while. Then, the army divided into two roads and rushed all the way to Duanshi County, wanting to block the road before the Huashan army arrived. The other way is to go straight to Gaodu County.

Their actions were clearly investigated by the spies sent by Li Xin, and they were quickly reported to Li Xin.

"It's finally time to act, and now, it's time for us to act." Hearing the news, Li Xin couldn't help but rejoice, and immediately ordered the army to advance quietly towards Gaodu County.

The Gaodu County Commander has been on fire for the past few days, and he already knows that Feng Yang can't give him too much support. Under these circumstances, he put his hope on Huashan Jun. But he also knew that the Huashan Army was too far away from Gaodu County, and he didn't know when he would be able to wait for reinforcements.

On the side of Tianjing Pass, there are several reports a day, and they all say that the Yan army is attacking fiercely and asking for support. But what can he do, except to try to transfer some soldiers from the county town to help, there is nothing he can do at all.

"My lord, it's not good, a team of people suddenly came out of the city, and the menacing force has reached ten miles outside the city!" Just as the Gaodu county commander was thinking about this matter, the county magistrate rushed from outside the door, shouting as he ran.

"What? Where are the soldiers? Is it the Yan Army or the Huashan Army? Hearing this, the county magistrate couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly asked.

"I don't know where the soldiers and horses are, my lord, let's go and take a look!" How did the county know where the people came from, so he had to reply.

Hearing this, the Gaodu County Commander ordered the four gates to be closed, summoned all the soldiers and civilians to guard the city, and hurried towards the city. As soon as he arrived at the top of the city tower, he saw a black crowd outside the city and set up a position a mile away from the city.

"It's broken, it's Yan Jun!" The county commander couldn't help but panic when he looked at the banner that was unfurled, and then at the costumes of these people.

"My lord, looking at it like this, I'm afraid that there are tens of thousands of enemies, how can we do it?" The county officials and other officials next to him couldn't help but look at the county order at this time, hoping that he would have an idea.

"How is it good? Defend the city, of course! Don't be afraid, Feng Fujun has already asked the Huashan Army for help, Hedong is very close to us, as long as we can hold it for a while, the Huashan Army will come to save us! The Gaodu County Commander glanced at them, forcibly calmed himself, and then said loudly.

Here and now, he has not thought about surrendering. After all, there are more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in his city, plus the people, he should be able to defend the city for a while. The most important thing is that I have long known that there are reinforcements, where will it be easy to surrender.

"Yes, yes, the Huashan army defeated the Yan army not long ago, as long as they arrive, they will definitely be able to beat these Yan troops away!" The county is also very good, and at this time he hurriedly echoed on the side.

When everyone around heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little relieved. After all, they already knew the news that the Huashan Army would come to ask for help. Because it is close to Hedong, they know a lot about the Huashan Army, especially the Huashan Army basically does not defeat the battle.

The army's heart was stable, and the Gaodu County Commander couldn't help wiping a cold sweat and began to arrange defense. At this time, Murong Qiang and them under the city saw that there were many guards on the city, and the four gates were closed. After some discussion, he sent someone to persuade him to surrender.

What's the use of persuading him to surrender, he was directly scolded back by the Gaodu County Order. So, Murong Qiang, who was furious, ordered the siege of the city, and now there are still 10,000 soldiers and horses around him, in his opinion, it should not be a problem to capture a small Gaodu county.

Originally, he led 10,000 people to attack Wanzi Chengguan, but he has lost a lot in the past few months. But after collecting Mu Yu Changqing's defeated troops and Yao Xiang's thousands of men, even if they lost a lot in attacking Tianjing Pass and Wanzi Chengguan, there were still so many people left at this time.

And among them, there are about 7,000 real Yan soldiers, and the rest are Yao Xiang's men and horses. On Yao Chang's side, out of 4,000 people, only 1,000 were Yao Xiang's troops. As soon as the siege order was given, the brigade began to take turns to fight, surrounding the four gates and constantly attacking.

All of a sudden, the entire Gaodu County was full of beacon fires and wolf smoke, the sound of shouting and killing continued, and the arrows and swords flew horizontally.

When the two sides started the war, Li Xin and his soldiers and horses were already hidden in the southwest valley less than ten kilometers away from the county seat of Gaodu. He personally led the vanguard troops to a place less than two miles away from the county seat, and quietly observed the battle situation.

"General, according to the Yan army's method of attacking the city, I'm afraid that the Gaodu county town won't last long! After all, the opponent's strength is ten times that of the defenders! If nothing else, I am afraid that tomorrow at dawn, or by tomorrow evening, it will be captured! Liao Chuan stood beside Li Xin, looked at the battlefield below, and said.

"Well, compared to these Yan troops, there are too few defenders in the city and their combat strength is not good. Especially in this Gaodu county order, it is very important to defend the city properly or not. The news that we are going to send troops, Yao Xiang and they already know, in order to fight quickly, they should not stop attacking the city tonight. They have been fighting for days, and they haven't had time to rest, and tonight is our great opportunity. Tell the brothers, take advantage of the moment to take a good rest, and at dawn, let's get moving! Li Xin looked at it for a while and ordered.

"Yes, the last general will go down and arrange it!" After Liao Chuan received the order, he immediately turned around and left.

As Li Xin had predicted, the Yan army had been attacking and fighting that night. Although the soldiers were also complaining, there was nothing they could do under the forced suppression of the military order.

Because Murong Qiang was a little selfish, he kept Yao Xiang by his side to watch the battle in this battle, and did not let him go to the front line to fight.

Although Yao Xiang was dissatisfied, there was no way, he was afraid that talking too much would cause suspicion and destroy the relationship between the two. As a result, he could only secretly complain to his advisers.

At dawn, the side defending the city had already suffered a lot of losses, but the Yan army was even more tired, and many people had already begun to fight with their eyelids as long as they stood still.

Under the darkness of the night, no one noticed that not far behind them, there was an army quietly approaching them.

Li Xin and Liao Chuan were divided into two teams, and Liao Chuan led a team to the north, preparing to outflank from there! And Li Xin took 3,000 soldiers and horses from south to north and went straight to the place where Yao Xiang and the others were.

The Yan army attacked Simen, while Murong Qiang and Yao Xiang supervised the battle in the south of the city. At this time, there were about 1,000 people left by their side, and these soldiers and horses were responsible for rotating and replacing them. Basically, the defenders on top of each tower are facing enemies many times their size.

After Li Xin quietly approached a certain distance with his soldiers and horses, he suddenly shouted in unison and rushed towards the Yan army in front of him. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tang Wang's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
