Chapter 74 Small stones can shake mountains

"Shoot the arrows!"

Guo Shi stood at the head of the White Horse City and looked at the Western Xia cavalry below with a serious face.

They were lined up in a row, as if a slender sword was lying there. The icy cold wind stirred the soldiers' suits with a sharp sound, and the tall black horse stood there spitting hot air.

Dense feathered arrows enveloped them like low black clouds, but as soon as they waved their banners, the formation immediately retreated, dodging the bows and arrows.

"If the range is not enough, stop!" Chen Xuan walked over with someone with an angry face.

"Lord Guo, White Horse City is not rich, and bows and arrows are not wasted like you!" Chen Xuan said coldly. "The general has made it clear that he wants to defend and not attack."

Guo Shi smiled, "City Lord Chen is distressed! In the next will not be wasted. The general said that it was defense and did not say that it was not possible to shoot arrows, this is also to deter them, a way of defense, and City Lord Chen must be flexible. ”

"I don't need you to remind me, try to save money with bows and arrows, who knows how long they will stay!" Chen Xuan said calmly.

"I'm writing it down."

Chen Xuan snorted and walked down, and Guo Shi asked behind him, "Where is City Lord Chen going?" ”

"The general is here, I'll go to meet him." Chen Xuantou left without looking back.

"The military situation is so urgent, do you still want to pick it up?" Guo Shi shook his head and smiled.

After a while, Gao Hongyi, who was dressed in plain clothes, accompanied by Chen Xuan, quickly walked up to the tower of White Horse City.

"Guo Shi has worked hard." Gao Hongyi encouraged him. "How's the military going?!" he asked. ”

Guo Shi looked at the Xixia cavalry below with a calm face, and replied with some doubts on his face, "These cavalry have been there for a long time, wandering back and forth in Simen, watching the attack fruitless, but they don't leave, I don't know what they are doing!" ”

Gao Hongyi also looked out at this moment, looking at the majestic Western Xia cavalry, he knew that he had not come in vain today.

Although Ma Tangfeng is strong and strong, in Gao Hongyi's opinion, there is nothing to worry about, after all, he is just a general of the West Protector, and he is on a par with himself.

But Western Xia was far different, it was a huge country! Beihu and Xixia are basically the contrast between small stones and big mountains, if you want small stones to shake big mountains, small stones must be big enough, and they must be the supporting stones of the mountains. Although Gao Hongyi has this idea, but now he still needs to endure and grow slowly, if he fights, it is beyond his strength, and the result is naturally crushed by the mountain!

He said lightly, "Respond to all changes with the same, leave them alone, just do your thing." ”

"Yes, General."

Chen Xuan asked puzzledly, "General, there are only 5,000 cavalry in the Western Xia Kingdom, and now there are about 10,000 defenders in White Horse City, so you can go out of the city to meet the enemy and strangle them, why don't you go out behind closed doors!" ”

Gao Hongyi originally thought the same way with him, but after listening to the words of the military advisor and Guo Shi, after careful analysis by himself, he felt that it was reasonable, so he agreed to them. Now Chen Xuan was puzzled, and he replied lightly when he had no time to explain, "This will have its own deep meaning, so City Lord Chen shouldn't ask more." ”

Chen Xuan was a little incomprehensible, and he didn't understand what Gao Hongyi meant, but seeing that his words were resolute, he didn't dare to ask more.

At this time, there was a commotion among the defenders of the city wall, and a group of black-clothed cavalry that had emerged from there suddenly killed the Western Xia cavalry.

Gao Hongyi fixed his eyes and saw that the first person in black was a fierce general, not Li Zhong, who else!

Li Zhong is so bold that he openly violated his military orders, Gao Hongyi's face was slightly ugly!

But he was immediately attracted by the shouting and killing in the distance, and he only saw that Li Zhong led a thousand cavalry battalions of the city defense battalion to rush up to kill, as if he wanted to take the head of the Western Xia cavalry general. However, the Western Xia cavalry was also well-trained, and when they saw the enemy rushing over, they immediately contracted their formation, as if they wanted to surround Li Zhong and others.

Everyone on the city wall pinched a cold sweat for Li Zhong, and Chen Xuan, who had always been steady, saw that Li Zhong was in danger, and immediately led troops to help.

However, Gao Hongyi seemed to have a deep meaning in his heart, stopped Chen Xuan, and asked him to wait and see what happened!

For Li Zhong, Gao Hongyi really knows too well! Li Zhong likes to fight bravely and ruthlessly on weekdays! Every time he kills someone, he can kill the red eye, and the knife is rolled up, how can Li Zhong's bravery be compared to the mere Western Xia cavalry. The reason why he didn't agree with Chen Xuan to take someone to rescue him immediately was that he was afraid that he would spoil the plan of deliberately showing weakness to the Western Xia cavalry, and secondly, he wanted to see how the cavalry of the city defense battalion trained by Li Zhong was!

However, Gao Hongyi's thoughts, Chen Xuan couldn't guess it. He looked at the cavalry battalion of the city defense camp in the distance, it seemed that it had been submerged in the formation of the Western Xia cavalry, and if he didn't go over, he was afraid that the whole army would be annihilated, so he boldly requested, "General, Vice General Li is in danger, if you don't go over, it will really be too late." ”

Guo Shi kept staring at the battle situation outside, and when he saw that he couldn't find any trace of Li Zhong, he also panicked, and hurriedly pleaded, "General, it's not optimistic!" The Western Xia cavalry was well-trained and outnumbered. No matter how brave Vice General Li is, he will hit a stone with an egg! Checkmate! Hurry up and give the order to send troops! ”

"Wait!" Gao Hongyi watched the battle situation below intently, and hugged tightly into a group of city defense battalion cavalry, under the leadership of Li Zhong, violently impacting the formation of the shrinking Western Xia cavalry. They are like an iron fist, and every impact can bring a lot of heavy damage to the Western Xia cavalry!

"General, I can't wait!" Chen Xuan and Guo Shi said in unison, "General, give the order to send troops!" ”

Gao Hongyi had already seen that Li Zhong was about to rush out at this time, he secretly put his mind at ease, turned around and asked, "Want to send troops?" ”

"Send troops, General!" The two replied in unison.

"Okay, Guo Shi led five hundred troops to rescue Li Zhong!"

Guo Shi was stunned when he heard this, and asked in disbelief, "General, subordinate soldiers, five hundred?" ”

Gao Hongyi looked at the battle situation outside without looking back and said, "What, you have to disobey orders?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare!" Guo Shi immediately led his troops down to rescue Li Zhong.

Chen Xuan seemed to be stupid on the side, and was stunned for a long time, "General, Guo Shi has no experience in leading troops, so it is already dangerous for him to go over, and with so few soldiers, how can he save General Li!" ”

However, before he finished speaking, he only heard the city gate open, and then looked outside the city, Li Zhong and the people had already rushed out, and ran towards White Horse City with all his might.

The herald in the city shouted, "General, General Li is back!" ”

Li Zhong, who was covered in blood, ran to the city wall with an excited face and laughed excitedly, "Brother Yi, my cavalry battalion is not bad!" A thousand people killed the Xixia dog thief and five thousand cavalry had no power to fight back, it was really enjoyable, haha! ”

Gao Hongyi looked at him coldly and scolded, "Kneel!" ”

Li Zhong was puzzled, "Brother Yi, what's wrong!" ”

"What's the matter, you still have the face to ask me! I asked you to find out the reason for the sudden attack of the Western Xia cavalry, who gave you the courage to disobey the military order and lead the troops to kill the enemy! ”

Li Zhong defended, "General, I didn't disobey your military orders!" ”

Li Zhong said aggrievedly, "General, my lords, the Western Xia cavalry is tightly hugged, how do you think I can find out why they are here!" I'll only know if their captors come and ask! I just led the troops over to arrest people, but I just killed a handful of people! It's not disobeying military orders! You're right?! ”

"Sophistry!" Gao Hongyi said angrily, and Li Zhong hurriedly shut up!

"Got someone?" Gao Hongyi asked.

Li Zhong saw that Gao Hongyi's tone had improved a lot, and replied proudly, "Of course, we are arresting people, and we are also a big official!" Brother Yi want to go and see? ”

"No need." Gao Hongyi waved his hand, "Chen Xuan, you take someone to interrogate!" Remember, be sure to ask the real purpose of the sudden arrival of the Tangut cavalry! ”

Chen Xuan received the order to go down, and Li Zhong stood up and was about to brag to the soldiers around him about how he fought left and right in the Western Xia cavalry, but he saw Gao Hongyi's face dark, opened his mouth and closed it again.

Gao Hongyi said coldly, "Li Zhong, the deputy general of the Heavenly Wolf Army, as a general, openly disobeyed military orders, caused chaos to military discipline, and caused endless harm. ”

Guo Shi pleaded on the side, "General, although General Li has had it, he has also made great contributions, and the merits and demerits are offset, so there is no need to deal with it by military law." ”

Gao Hongyi looked at him, and then asked, "Li Zhong, Guo Shi pleaded for you, what do you have to say!" ”

Li Zhong looked at Guo Shi gratefully, shook his head and said, "The general will clean up the military discipline and take the brother first, Li Zhong has nothing to say!" ”

Gao Hongyi snorted coldly, "Don't say that you are my good brother, even if I disobey military discipline, I will also be punished!" Li Zhong, do you understand? ”

Li Zhong replied helplessly, "The humble general understands!" ”

Guo Shi saw the Western Xia cavalry under the city wall withdrawing, and whispered, "General, they are going back!" ”

"Not necessarily!" Gao Hongyi said not very optimistically, and at the same time, Tu Su came over, "General, Ma Tangfeng has replied, saying that the reinforcements will arrive in White Horse City tomorrow." ”
