The captain of Douglas's personal army shouted at him anxiously: "General, the Han army has entered the city, and there are no enemy troops in the direction of the West Gate, so quickly withdraw from the West Gate." Bayi Chinese.≈≈≥.≤"

Douglas roared: "I am entrusted by the emperor to guard the eastern gateway of Kushan, how can I escape? Someone, pass on my general order, and drive out the Han army that has entered the city for me. ”

The soldiers around him hurriedly went to give orders, Douglas turned around and paid attention to the battle situation again, and the captain of the soldiers followed closely. Douglas said angrily: "My personal guard, the best in the army, what are you doing with me?" Go and fight. ”

The captain of the pro-soldier shouted: "Humble duty, protect the safety of the general." ”

Douglas raised his foot and kicked the captain in the stomach, "Go and block the Han army, I'll just leave ten people here." ”

The captain of the pro-soldier was about to ink again, and Dogs slashed his sword and said loudly: "Execute the order." ”

The captain had no choice but to lead Douglas's personal guards to fight in the city.

Not far from Zhang Liao's entry into the city, Guishan soldiers from all directions surrounded him, and Zhang Liao shouted: "Shoot crossbows at any cost to kill and disperse the enemy army." A thousand men marched into the city, and attacked along the walls. ”

The Kushan soldiers swarmed in, and the arrows fired from the crossbows swooped head-on, and the sharp arrows that were as sharp as a rain of arrows continued to take the lives of the Kushan soldiers. Douglas's personal captain saw the sharp bows and arrows of the Han army, and rushed over with his shield held high. The equipment and force of the pro-soldiers were much higher than those of ordinary soldiers, and this leader rushed to kill, and the morale of the Guishan soldiers was greatly boosted.

Zhang Liao watched the six roads and listened to all directions, and saw that the captain of the pro-soldier team had extraordinary combat power, so he shouted loudly and urged the war horse to meet him. When the captain saw it, he also held a shuttle dart to fight Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao held the gun in his left hand, waved his right hand continuously, and the ten javelins behind his back were between breaths, and threw them at the crowd of pro-soldiers, and the captain of the pro-soldiers flashed the javelin, raised the shuttle dart and stabbed Zhang Liao in the chest.

Zhang Liao's left pistol collapsed, knocked open the shuttle dart, held the gun with his right hand, and used his arms to pierce the left ribs of the captain of the army, and the captain's left hand shield blocked, but Zhang Liao was extremely strong, a gun pierced the shield, and the tip of the gun was pierced in the captain's left ribs, and then the two arms competed, and the captain was picked off the horse.

Douglas in the back saw the captain Rome and rushed to the rescue, and the soldiers behind Zhang Liao were not far behind, raising their sabers, and the two teams collided together, fighting desperately. Zhang Liao raised a knife in his hand, cut off the captain's head, pierced the spear, and threw it towards the crowd of Guishan soldiers, and then rode into the battle circle.

The horse entered the south gate, and saw that the Guishan soldiers were not afraid of death, and were surrounding Zhang Liao to fight, and they shouted loudly and killed him.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry beside the horse is absolutely fierce in combat power, and he follows the horse and enters the encirclement. Zhang Liao saw the horse and said loudly: "Meng Qi, divide a group of people to go to the city immediately, kill and disperse the enemy army, and receive the army outside the city into the city." ”

Ma shouted: "General Wenyuan, you come to command, let me have a good time." ”

Zhang Liao saw the horse swaying in the silver robe in the formation, and there was no enemy under him, so he killed more than 30 people in an instant, and knew that the Xiliang Jinma was not in vain, so he had to pull out and take 2,000 men and horses to the city.

When he came to the east gate, Douglas was commanding the men and horses to defend, and when he saw Zhang Liao leading the troops to kill, he immediately ordered some of his soldiers to turn around and fire arrows at the other side. Guo Jia, who was under the city, saw Zhang Liao's banner marching towards the east gate, and ordered the stone-throwing cart to change direction, and at the same time ordered 2,000 archers to approach and shoot to cover Zhang Liao's men and horses.

On the head of the city outside the east gate, the Guishan guards were crushed by the stone throwing cart, and Douglas hid behind a strong battlement, watching Zhang Liao's men and horses get closer and closer, and his own archers had no power to fight back in front of the opponent's repeater, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

The ten personal soldiers around Douglas looked at each other, and suddenly hugged Douglas, Douglas was furious, and reprimanded loudly, but the personal soldiers were unmoved, and carried him along the battlements of the city wall and bent down and ran down, and went down the city.

Zhang Liao looked at this strange scene, guessing that the identity of the person who was protected must be unusual, kicked the horse's belly with both legs, and the war horse rushed forward faster. There were not many people in the hands of the guards at the head of the city, and the city and the city were attacked from both sides, and the soldiers suffered great losses.

Zhang Liao was about to go down to the city to pursue, Guo Jia rode to the front and said under the city: "Wenyuan, how is the battle?" ”

Zhang Liao replied loudly: "There are no defenders at the head of the city, and the city gate is blocked by stones. ”

Guo Jia was overjoyed and said: "Wenyuan left some soldiers to cover, and I commanded people to go to the city immediately." In the direction of the north gate, it is necessary to pay a lot of attention to Wenyuan. ”

Zhang Liao suppressed the desire and hope to pursue in the city, left 300 people, and then beat his horse and ran in the direction of the north gate.

Outside the east gate, the ladder was quickly erected, and countless Han soldiers climbed up, quickly went down the city, moved the stones from the city gate hole, and opened the city gate. Guo Jia led his army into the city.

Guo Jia still had 35,000 men and horses in his hands, 5,000 people stayed outside the city, and after 30,000 people entered the city, they quickly separated and looked for the Guishan soldiers.

The horse's fresh force quickly routed Douglas's own soldiers, and the horse's spear was raised to slaughter the fleeing Kushan soldiers.

The young men in the city came bravely, and after the Han army encountered it, a rain of arrows flew out, frightening them into birds and beasts.

Dogs was surrounded by his own soldiers and came to the general's mansion, and when he learned that the Han army was entering the city more and more, he sighed, knowing that Maracanda was not safe, gathered the guards in the palace, ran to the west gate, and abandoned the city with the west gate guards.

Guo Jia came to the General's Mansion, which was empty, so it was used as Guo Jia's temporary command center.

Zhang Liao and Ma Su cleared the remnants of the enemy in the city and came to see Guo Jia. When Guo Jia learned that the Maracanda general had fled, he didn't care about it, and said with a smile to the two: "Maracanda is worthy of being an important town in Guishan, and the government treasury has a huge backlog of money and grain, which saves our army the effort to transport. After the city was down, the army rested for two days, and then rushed to the banks of the Amu Darya River to engage the Kushan army. ”

Zhang Liao said: "How to stabilize the city, the military advisor must have a plan in his heart? ”

Guo Jia said: "Deputy General Zhang Heng, the first student of Xiangping Military Academy, is also a man with outstanding wisdom and resourcefulness, and can take the responsibility of defending the city. ”

Zhang Liao said: "Military advisor, the Guishan soldiers are not afraid of death, and the young men in the city have also assisted the soldiers many times to attack and kill our army, please pay attention to the military advisors." ”

Guo Jia sneered, "Many places in the Western Regions need manpower, and since the young and strong in the city are difficult to manage, we have to let them go to the Western Regions to do some coolies." ”

Gao Shun has been trembling for many years since he took office as the assassin of Liaozhou, and his old and serious personality has made him almost do everything, and almost completely inherited Liu Ze's original management model. Liaozhou has developed rapidly over the years, especially in metallurgy and mining. The trapping camps trained by Gao Shun also went to various places in batches, and they were called the trump cards in the armies in various places.

Liaozhou is the place where Liu Ze started, and the exhibition of metallurgy and mining is precisely because of the large number of young people who have been captured by repeated wars. In various metallurgical sites and mines, there were about a million coolies, working under the supervision of the Han army.

Gao Shun got up early in the morning, and the doorman came to report: "Assassin Shi, someone is holding this jade plate and asking to see him." ”

Gao Shun took a look at it and hurriedly said, "Please come to the study and see you." ”

Gao Shun didn't care about washing, he went to the study to wait first, and after a while, a stout man came under the leadership of the doorman, Gao Shun beat the doorman and said in a low voice: "Dare to ask the name of the brother?" ”

The person who came whispered, "Dark guard Liu Ji has seen Lord Thorn Shi. ”

Gao Shun said: "Brother Liu asks to see him early in the morning, and there must be something important. ”

Liu Ji said in a low voice: "My lord, the villain is in charge of the supervision of the Liaoshan Iron Mine. In the past few days, a man with a Zhongzhou accent has been in various places, and he has frequent contact with the army leaders who take care of the coolies. ”

Gao Shun asked, "What instructions does Lord Liu Hu, the leader of the Dark Guard, give you?" ”

Liu Ji said: "Let me wait for the secret guard to keep an eye on the Sima family, I don't know if this man is?" ”

Gao Shun sneered: "What is the name of this person who contacts an officer?" ”

"It's about visiting relatives and friends."

"Hehe, there are too many friends. Brother Liu Ji, the officer that person came into contact with, what was wrong with his speech? ”

"Nothing out of the ordinary."

"Do you know a list of officers that man came into contact with?"

"There is only one person on the list, and he is a little more powerful."

"Who?"

"Gongsun Du Gongsun Shengji."

Gao Shun said with a smile: "Gongsun Du is just supervising the mines in Liaozhou, and I don't need to report to the emperor, I can dismiss him at will." ”

Liu Ji said: "In this case, things are much easier. After the man befriended the officer, he took on the form of another person, speaking a foreign dialect, and went deep into the coolies, not knowing what to do? ”

Gao Shun was startled, and said urgently: "That person is still in the mine?" ”

Liu Ji said: "It's still there, my brother is staring at him. ”

Gao Shun thought for a moment and said to Liu Ji: "I will send someone to go with you and arrest that person." The Liu Ji brothers were on hand to assist in the identification. ”

Liu Ji's identity was kept secret, of course he didn't want to expose it, and when he heard what Gao Shun said, he nodded in agreement.

Beat away Liu Ji, Gao Shun simply ate something, came to the mansion, recruited cronies, secretly advised, and after a while, the subordinate officials came, routinely reported on official affairs, Gao Shun saw Gongsun Du, and snorted coldly: "Gongsun Shengji, you did a good thing!" Come on, take it with me. ”

Gongsun Du shouted: "Assassin Shi, what did so-and-so do?" Why do you do this to me? ”

Gao Shun said: "You know in your heart, come here, press it down, and see it in prison." ”

Gongsun Du shouted loudly, Gao Shun ignored it, and when he couldn't hear the voice, Gao Shun said: "Changshi is temporarily in charge of the affairs of the house, don't drive, Sima, order 3,000 soldiers, and go with me." ”

Gao Shun's mindless words made a large group of subordinate officials inexplicable, but the head said that he had to obey orders. Gao Shun's personal soldiers were all born in the camp, accompanied by Gao Shun to Liaoshan, Gao Shun wrote a warrant for the assassination, and did not say much, and assigned it to Beijia and Sima, so that they could be arrested one by one according to the list.

Liu Ji took Gao Shun's cronies to the mine, found his brother, and didn't speak, just made a look, the other party nodded secretly, Liu Ji whispered: "That person is in the north room, maybe dining." ”

Gao Shun's cronies nodded, and walked to a house, the people in the house, holding a large porcelain bowl in both hands, were drinking happily, and more than a dozen people rushed in, overturned the person to the ground, tied it tightly, and took it out of the house.

The leader of his cronies looked at Liu Ji, and when he saw Liu Ji nodding secretly, he knew that it was good, and he was in a hurry.
