The armor and leather helmets on the slain Rouran soldiers were stripped off and piled up into a mountain, Rouran's scimitars and spears were piled up, and even the boots were taken off from the corpses by the cadres.

The general Wang Hui came over and reported to Gao Jinzhi: "General, all the armor, leather helmets, and boots on the corpses have been stripped off!" ”

Gao Jinzhi turned his head to look at the spears, armor, boots, and helmets piled up like several hills, and asked, "Have the scouts dispersed?" Especially in the direction from which the Rouran army is coming".

"Don't worry, the general has already dispersed the scouts, and the farthest has been arranged fifty miles away, once we find the Rouran people, we have enough time to prepare!"

Gao Jinzhi has some gains and losses: "I'm just worried that the scouts are arranged too far, and it will be troublesome if the news can't be sent back in time if there is an accident!" ”

"There is a squad of scouts fifty miles away, there are ten people, and even if they encounter the most ferocious attack, one or two will escape back!"

Gao Jinzhi sighed: "That's exactly what I'm worried about, if our scouts are discovered by the Rouran Rangers under Wu Ti's search, the Rouran people will definitely be more vigilant, and in this way, the effect of our raid will not be easy to say!" ”

Wang Hui thought for a while, clasped his fists and said: "The last general understands what the general means, and the last general will send someone to convey the order, so that they can do their best not to expose themselves, once the Rouran army appears in their sight, as long as they find it clear, they will retreat immediately, leaving no trace!" ”

After another battle, the cavalry of the cadres and cavalry, who had been marching for three days and three nights, were already sleepy and tired, and they fell asleep one by one after cleaning up the battlefield.

At dawn, Mu Shunkang, the defender of Bigan City, led two hundred people out of the city and came to the temporary camp of Gao Jinzhi's army.

"The last general than Gancheng city lord Pan Yang to meet the general, fortunately the general led the army to attack and kill the Wei army than Gancheng's two thousand Rouran army, otherwise the soldiers and civilians in the city of Bigan will be slaughtered by the Rouran army sooner or later, the last general is here on behalf of the whole city army and people thank the general for helping!"

Gao Jinzhi looked at Pan Yang, the city lord of Gancheng, and said with a smile: "General Pan doesn't need to be polite, it is our army's duty to come to the rescue." General Pan, please take a seat, General Ben sent someone to call you over to discuss something with you! ”

Pan Yang clenched his fists: "General, please command!" ”

Gao Jinzhi pondered for a few seconds, and said to Pan Yang: "The main force of Wu Ti Rouran's army has not been damaged, he is leading the army in the direction of Bigan City at this time, I estimate that he should still have about 13,000 or 4,000 people in his hands!" General Pan, please think, Wu Ti's army passed through here, do you think he will let Bigan City go? ”

Pan Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm afraid that it won't, there are less than a thousand people than the defenders of Gancheng, if Wu Ti leads the army to return to Rouran through here, he will definitely not let go of Bigancheng, and he will inevitably break through the city, and then the soldiers and civilians in this city will only be afraid that it will be difficult to survive!" ”

Gao Jinzhi nodded and said, "It seems that General Pan's mind is still clear and rational, and he has no illusions about Rouran. This time, our army arrived here first to bypass the Rouran army, first, to relieve the siege of Bigan City; The second is to give Wu Ti a little color here, and Ben will decide to compete with the Rouran army here! ”

Pan Yang asked, "How does the general want to fight?" Just tell me what you need to do! ”

It seems that this Pan Yang is also an understanding person, if there is no Gao Jinzhi to lead the army to come, he and the soldiers and civilians in Bigan City are only afraid that they will all be finished this time, and now Gao Jinzhi is determined to fight a decisive battle with the Rouran people, he can only fully support Gao Jinzhi for himself and the soldiers and civilians in the city.

Gao Jinzhi pointed to several nearby piles of Rouran people's weapons, armor, leather helmets, boots, and banners and said, "These are for the general, please order someone to bring them back to the city; In addition, I am afraid that the general will have to trouble the slaughter of some cattle and sprinkle the blood on the city walls, and the more miserable the appearance, the better······"

Pan Yang is a smart man and seems to understand Gao Jinzhi's plan, "The general wants to ······"

"That's ······" Gao Jinzhi immediately told Pan Yang his thoughts, and the two got together and muttered for half an hour.

Soon, Pan Yang ordered the accompanying 200 Bigan city defenders to bring back to the city all the armor, leather helmets, weapons, boots and banners of these Rouran people, and Gao Jinzhi also sent 2,000 men and horses to escort some Rouran captives into the city with them.

After sending Pan Yang away, Gao Jinzhi fell asleep at the end.

In the afternoon, Gao Jinzhi woke up and ate some dry food, drank some water, and the whole person regained his spirit, he inspected the camp, and the soldiers returned to normal after a night and most of the day's rest.

Soon, the scout came to report: "General, the figure of the Rouran army has been found fifty miles away, according to their marching speed, they will definitely not be able to arrive before dark, and it is estimated that they will not arrive until about midnight tomorrow morning!" ”

Gao Jinzhi pondered for a moment and asked, "Have all the brothers of the scout team withdrawn?" ”

"The brothers set up secret sentry along the way to monitor the Rouran army, if the Rouran army has been coming in the direction of Bigan City, there will be no report, if there is any change in the Rouran army, the brothers will come to report the news!"

"So good! Take a break in the afternoon! Gao Jinzhi commanded.

"Yes!"

Gao Jinzhi originally thought that the Rouran army should rest for the night on the way and come to Bigan City tomorrow, but not long after nightfall that night, the scout flew to report: "General Qiyu, something is abnormal, the Rouran army is coming in the direction of Bigan City overnight, and a scout was sent out in front, and the scout is more than ten miles away from the team!" ”

Gao Jin listened to it, knowing that the situation had changed, and he didn't think about it, and he didn't panic when he heard the news, and immediately ordered the generals to come, he informed them of the situation, and at the same time ordered all the departments to quickly assemble and evacuate, and before evacuating, this place must be cleaned up, so that it can not be found abnormal by the Rouran people!

Before evacuating, Gao Jinzhi also sent someone to inform Pan Yang, the defender of Bigan City, telling him that the Rouran people were coming to Bigan City overnight.

In the middle of the night, the Rouran army arrived near Bigan Castle, and the first to arrive here was a group of Rouran scouts, who were not only responsible for the reconnaissance mission ahead, but also the task of contacting the 2,000 Rouran troops who remained outside Bigan Castle to contain the defenders.

This group of Rouran scouts circled the city of Bigan, searched all the surrounding areas within a radius of ten miles, and did not find the 2,000 Rouran troops left here.

"Captain Ten, why did you say that these two thousand people are gone? Could it be that they returned to Mobei without permission? A Rouran soldier asked the Ten-Commander.

The Commander of the Ten said: "Impossible, Ulxie does not have the courage to lead his troops back to Mobei without the Khan's order, unless he doesn't want to live!" ”

"But I just can't figure out where they went. Did they leave the city of Bigan and go south to plunder? ”

The ten-division commander couldn't figure out what was wrong with this, he thought for a while and said to his subordinates: "Khan, they are afraid that they can't wait, so you go back to report the situation here to the Khan first, and I will take someone to continue to investigate!" ”

"Yes!"

After the scout who reported the news left, the Ten-Commander continued to search for his men.

One of the scouts in the group said, "Captain Ten, shall we get closer to the city walls and investigate?" ”

The ten-captain thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay, let's get close to the city wall and investigate!" ”

The city wall was darkened, and it was impossible to see the situation on the city wall at all, and when the ten-man led his eight men to ride a horse not far from the city, a row of arrows suddenly shot out from the city wall.

Three of the scouts were shot dead on the spot, and the remaining six turned around and ran away in fright, when piles of firewood outside the city were ignited by rockets, and the voices of the remaining six Rouran scouts were revealed, and the lights on the city walls were lit.

The Captain of Ten took the remaining five scouts to beat their horses and ran out of the land a stone's throw away, and then turned around to take a look, and he was really apprehensive.

"Oh, that's not right! Captain Ten, look at the banner on the city wall, why is it our soft banner," a scout shouted, pointing at the city wall.

The ten-captain looked at it, and the banner on the city wall was really soft, could it be ······ Could it be that the 2,000 Rouran soldiers who remained here have broken through the city of Bigan?

"Captain Ten, look at it, there seems to be blood stains on the city wall, as if he has spoken out about the siege battle, could it be that General Uler broke through Bigan City, if so, wouldn't the three of them die in the hands of their own people?"

The face of the ten-captain was ugly, if it was really his own people in the city, then the three brothers really died too unjustly, he said with a gloomy face: "Go, go over and take a look, talk to them!" ”

The six men came back from their horses and stopped not far away, and the ten-man commander shouted: "Listen, the people on the city tower, I am Barlow, the scout commander of the ten-division sent by the Khan, who are you?" Is it a subordinate of General Ulle? If so, let General Ulleevil come out and answer! ”

A soft voice came from the castle tower: "You are scouts sent by the Khan?" Why didn't you say it earlier? That round of arrows didn't hurt you, did it? Come over and take a look, let's confirm your identity! ”

The ten-master was so angry that he scolded in his heart, yes, three brothers died in vain, and these bastards even asked with fake intentions.

"Don't let go of the arrows again, just now our three brothers were injured and died by mistake, when the Khan arrives with the army, I will definitely report to the Khan!"

The Captain of Ten rode with the remaining five men in the direction of the city wall.

"Whoosh ······" Another wave of arrows was fired.

The Captain Ten and his five remaining scouts were shot into hedgehogs in an instant.

Pan Yang, the guard on the tower of the city, immediately ordered: "Quick, get the corpses and horses away, hurry up, be sure to clean up before the arrival of Wu Ti's army!" ”

"Yes, General!"

The gates of the city soon opened, and some soldiers ran over, some leading horses, some carrying corpses, some collecting arrows from the ground, others cleaning up traces.

The corpses and horses, as well as the arrows and marks on the ground, were quickly cleaned up, and the gates were quickly closed.

It was only a cup of tea that Wu Ti led the army to the city of Bigan.

The Rouran people found the Rouran banner on the city wall, and Wu Ti raised his throat and shouted: "The city tower is under the command of General Ulle? Hurry up and open the gates of the city to let Ben Khan and the army enter the city to rest! ”

Someone on the tower of the city said in a soft voice: "It is too dark, we can't see your face clearly, General Ul Xie has issued a strict order, no matter who comes at night, no one is allowed to open the city gate, no matter who wants to go out of the city, no one is allowed to open the city gate, otherwise he will be tied to the back of a horse and dragged to death!" ”
