When night falls, the earth sinks, and soon the world is pitch black, and when the autumn in Liaodong arrives at night, the temperature plummets to freezing, and the cold wind howls, so that these Xiangping soldiers who have not yet changed their clothes have words of suffering, and they march forward one by one in the bitter cold, carrying weapons, and rubbing their hands to keep warm to resist the biting cold.

The march is getting slower and slower, and Gongsun Kang, who led the cavalry to prepare for the Xinchang city gate as soon as it was opened, came to urge it in person, he was really angry, and sent a herald to urge him twice, but Yangyi's guy said to speed up, but when it came to the march, the speed was getting slower and slower.

Originally, he was going to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt and even planned to kill the generals before the battle, but when he saw the soldiers who were frozen and blushing, and sifting chaff, his anger disappeared invisibly, no matter what, he was always a human being, and he knew the warmth and coldness of the world, but although he understood the difficulties of the soldiers and the hardships of Yangyi, but now that it is the time of the war, he must not drag down the whole army for any excuse, or even affect the burden of the war situation.

Gongsun Kang came to Yangyi, fully considering the feelings of the soldiers, but he still strictly ordered Yangyi to hurry up and march, good words and warnings, both hard and soft, he said that now is the time of war, focus on the overall situation, if someone causes the siege plan to fall short, no matter what excuse can not escape military law, he will be executed with his own hands!

Gongsun Kang still took into account Yangyi's face, and did not say it in front of all the soldiers, but said to him in private, Yangyi is not a good taste in his heart, but this is not what Gongsun Du expected early on? Otherwise, he Yangyi would not have personally led the troops to come this time, cleaned up his mood, and said, "Don't worry." It will never drag you back, let alone make the situation worse. ”

Yang Yi guaranteed. The troops were ordered to speed up their march and even run forward. Seeing all this, Gongsun Kang could leave with peace of mind, but when he was about to leave, Yang Yi called him behind him, turned around and asked, but saw him frowning and said, "Where is Liu Lan now?" It's dark, haven't you arrived in Xinchang yet? ”

"Under normal circumstances, it should have arrived, but for some reason Liu Lan deliberately slowed down the march, I suspect that Liu Lan has discovered our intentions. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as slow as it is now, as if it was deliberately fishing for us. Gongsun Kang subconsciously looked at the direction of Xinchang County, frowned, and the anxiety he had never had was because the first image of Liu Lan yesterday was very profound, he didn't think that Liu Lan was easy to deal with, and he didn't believe that he would not be able to see the clue in such an action.

Gongsun Kang's concerns for some reason made Yang Yi a little surprised, he knew Gongsun Kang too well. The newborn calf was not afraid of the ground, but he didn't expect that there were people who made him worry, so he gently twisted his goat whiskers and said with a smile: "Liu Lan is difficult to deal with, needless to say, the number one enemy." But thinking of him is too terrifying, but it is not good for the army, and it will inevitably increase the morale of others, but you can't take him lightly. I don't think I need to teach you how to grasp it. But there's one thing that's on my mind. I'm not afraid of your jokes, the so-called intention in your mouth, the young general, it depends on whom, for me, if the major general has not spoken out, and he is still kept in the dark, how can the intention be obvious? Maybe Liu Lan deliberately delayed the time, so that he could take advantage of the night to cover my ears and eyes and enter the city. ”

"Uh......" Yang Yi's speculation that was not a guess made Gongsun Kang put down a lot of burdens, and he pondered for a moment, he should have something to say to Yang Yi in his heart, but in the end he gave up, and then he didn't say anything, just silently watched the foot soldier move forward, but in his heart he said to himself that Liu Lan was terrible, but just like Yang Yi said, he was not an immortal, it was impossible to predict the prophet, as long as he was prepared to deal with possible emergencies, he could deal with him calmly.

Gongsun Kang hurried back to the cavalry station, he had to command the troops on the front line, just like Yang Yi said, enter the city at night, this is what he did not consider, there are many ways to enter the city, put down a basket and hang people into the city, as for the mount, obviously life is more important, if Liu Lan really escapes into the city, but it will really be a large-scale siege, this is not the result he wants to see.

Soon Gongsun Kang returned to the cavalry garrison, the latest progress was that Liu Lan was about to rush to Xinchang City, at the same time, Gongsun Kang began to send a large number of scouts, he needed to keep track of Liu Lan's dynamics, whether it was to put down the basket from the city or put down the drawbridge, he had to rush into Xinchang before the city gate closed.

Almost every few tens of seconds, there will be a sentinel to bring the latest situation, time becomes extremely slow at this moment, every moment is as long as a scorching summer and cold winter, just as he is anxiously waiting, the firelight, the insignificant faint fire light in the distance, and closer and closer, in order to hide, Gongsun Kang ordered not to light a bonfire or even a torch lighting, in order not to make the soldiers have a whisper, Gongsun Kang personally accompanied the soldiers in the cold wind, in order to wait for the drawbridge to be lowered, the moment Liu Lan entered the city, the fire was lit. Time is running out, and the result of a late step may be the closing of the city gates, the drawbridge rising, and sighing with admiration. Therefore, he ordered the scouts to light torches to send a message, similar to a beacon fire, which could convey the news as soon as possible.

The effect was remarkable, and when he saw the first bright spot in the distance, Gongsun Kang ordered the cavalry to storm and sent a message to Yangyi to arrive in Xinchang within a quarter of an hour to cooperate with the cavalry to capture Xinchang City.

Rushing all the way, more and more torches were lit, and the firelight became clearer and clearer, Gongsun Kang hurried to Xinchang, and soon saw that the drawbridge was slowly lowered through the firelight on the upper floor of Xinchang City, and the city gate rumbled and opened slowly little by little.

Gongsun Kang's method of using torches to convey the message was undoubtedly successful, and his original idea was to come before closing the city gate and closing the drawbridge, but because of his method of communication, he was able to arrive before Liu Lan entered the city.

The figure of Liu Lan that appeared in front of him lifted Gongsun Kang's spirits, and his eyes shot a blazing light that could burn everything, and he immediately shook his spear on the horse and shouted: "Brothers, follow me into Xinchang City, and the one who wins Liu Lan's head will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, and those who enter the county government first will be ordered by Xinchang!! ”

Gongsun Kang threw down the bait, and did not even forget to immediately order the scouts to inform the infantry of his exact words, he believed that the soldiers would not be indifferent to such a temptation, and under such a temptation, when it was known that the cavalry was one step ahead, he believed that the soldiers marching against the cold wind would come even more desperately.

As for the situation of Liu Lan and Xinchang City, he is not worried at all, there are only two roads in front of Liu Lan now, one is to enter the city so that he can follow him into the city and take Xinchang, and the other is that Xinchang will close the city gate now and raise the suspension bridge, but at that time, Liu Lan, who is alone, will naturally die under the blade.

Although it was different from the plan, it got rid of the big trouble of the henchmen, and without Liu Lan's Xinchang City, it was only a matter of time before it was taken. (To be continued......)
