Chapter 119: The Xizhou Army

This grain and grassland field is all the family wealth that Luo Zhao has spent countless painstaking efforts to accumulate. Yanqi had to make long-term plans if he wanted to think about things, and Luo Zhao not only prepared enough food and grass, but he also dug some more wells in various parts of the city. He dared to act only when he thought that everything was almost ready.

After receiving the report of the grain and grass fire, Luo Zhao was terrified, in case Yanqi City let the Tang Army of Xizhou surround them on all sides, what will these people eat! At that moment, most of the people were sent to put out the fire, and he shouted angrily, "Find that man and dismantle him in pieces!" ”

Gao Jun saw that his goal had been achieved, shook off the pursuers behind him, and jumped out of the grassland by cutting a wooden fence in a hurry, wanting to go straight to the compound he saw earlier. But he met two or three hundred Yanqi rebels head-on, and surrounded him at once, "The arsonist is here, don't let him escape!" Gao Jun couldn't, so he had to wave the oolong sword and rush left and right in the crowd, taking care of his own life first.

Guo Zhizhao saw a part of the besiegers withdrawing from the wall, and after a while, he saw a shouting array from the west, and came down to say that he knew with his father. Guo Xiaoke said, "It's quiet outside the city, but there is chaos inside the city, I really didn't expect it." As he was talking, he heard the guards on the wall shouting, "Lord Guo, someone is rushing over!" ”

It was Gao Jun who rushed through a bloody path and shouted at the wall, "Guo Dudu is not inside!" After shouting, the swords in the bushes behind him stabbed at Gao Daren again, and Gao Jun hurriedly turned around to parry.

A man covered in blood appeared in the crowd on the wall and replied to him, "Gao Jun, I'm Guo Zhizhao, and my father is here!" Gao Jun was overjoyed, and while dealing with the people who came up, he asked, "Are you all right?" If nothing happens, I'll go to the south gate and open the city to let reinforcements in!" ”

Guo Zhizhao said, "Wait for me to go down to help you!" ”

When the people in the courtyard heard Guo Zhizhao's words, the crowd was immediately excited, and Guo Dudu shouted to everyone, "Our army has arrived." rushed out together, and one went to the south gate to answer with the edict; One of them will rush to kill while I am in chaos, and make them unbearable! "More than 400 people opened the door of the house, and the soldiers rushed out in two ways with a shout of killing.

Gao Jun saw Guo Zhizhao. shouted to him, "Just give me some soldiers, and you can go and protect Uncle Guo!" "When Zhao thinks about it, he won't have any obstacles with Gao Jun's ability, but he has always been worried about his father. So he handed over one hundred and ten guards to Gao Jun. He went to meet his father.

Guo Xiaoke is well versed in the way of using troops, and the enemy is in chaos at this moment, and the opportunity must be seized, and the other party cannot be relieved. And his reinforcements have arrived, and when the situation is reversed, he will never follow Gao Jun to the south gate, but will lead people to the most chaotic place of the enemy. Although there are not many of them, they are still able to divide the two ways, so that the other party cannot take care of both.

But Guo Xiaokeke would never have thought that the Xizhou army he had been looking forward to was only three or four hundred people. He also had some doubts in his heart. Why did Gao Jun appear in the city first. However, there was no time for him to think about it at this time, so he arranged the fighting style in the city according to the thousands of horses and thousands of troops outside the city.

Guo Dudu had already identified the most chaotic place for the enemy, and rushed to the grain and pasture field with three hundred of his men, and these people shouted while rushing, "The Xizhou army has arrived, and those who threw weapons are not to blame!" These Tang troops were blocked in the palace for a day and a night, and when they learned that the reinforcements had arrived, their morale rose again, and a lot of waves were set off everywhere they went.

The so-called defeat is like a mountain, and there are many people under Luo Zhao. But there are only a few who are determined to follow Luo Zhao to take risks. The fire was already panicked, and when I saw that the Tang army actually opened the palace and rushed out, I knew that the situation had reversed, and then I heard the Tang army shouting that the Xizhou army had arrived. Immediately, they lost their fighting spirit and fled for their lives.

Guo Xiaoke also carried a knife in his hand, and only had time to cut down two or three people, Guo Zhizhao arrived, Guo Xiaoke asked, "How many people came?" Guo waited. didn't have time to ask Gao Jun, why did he get three or five thousand less. ”

Guo Dudu was overjoyed when he heard this, and ordered his subordinates, "A team of twenty people, go separately to suppress the remnants of the enemy, don't let Luo Zhao escape!" Everyone agreed, and the three hundred men immediately divided into a dozen squads and went in a whirlwind.

After a while, Guo Dudu saw a Tang general leading two hundred cavalry to rush in, that person was Duan Zhenghai, he went straight to the flag of the Xizhou Metropolitan Governor to rush over, seeing that there were only three or five people under his banner, Duan Zhenghai recognized Guo Dudu, and shouted on the horse, "Guo Dudu!" He also wondered: At present, the two armies are fighting chaotically, how dare this governor of Xizhou bring only three or two people here, and he actually dares to raise the flag of the governor.

"Report to Lord Guo, the last general will be Duan Zhenghai, the commander of the Anchangcheng Cavalry Brigade, and his troops will come down to help, please show me!"

"Great, General Duan, I order you to lead your troops and horses to immediately look for the stubborn enemy in the city, and be sure to wipe them out!" Duan Zhenghai didn't leave immediately when he heard this, but jumped off his horse and came to Guo Dudu's side and whispered, "Dudu, I only brought these people and horses, and I don't need to protect Dudu's safety?" ”

Guo Xiaoke was stunned for a moment, and Duan Zhenghai said, "Governor, everyone is here...... There are also seventy or eighty shepherd guards led by Lord Liu Zhongmu. Hearing this, he almost didn't surprise Guo Xiaoke to sit on the ground!

If Luo Zhao knew that there were only so many people outside the city, he would not be busy. But in the blink of an eye, the situation in the city was already uncontrollable, and when I heard Tang Jun's shouts, I knew that the general trend was no longer on my side. Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, he changed into civilian clothes and took a dozen cronies to secretly run out of the West Gate and went straight to the direction of Qiuzi.

When Gao Jun led the people to rush to the south gate, the sergeants at the head of the city had already run clean, and in the open space below the city, hundreds of soldiers were already standing there in an orderly manner, and their weapons were thrown aside.

They are all Yanqi locals, and it is not necessarily true to say that they have been bewitched by Luo Zhao, the city was controlled by Luo Zhao in the previous stage, and these families who eat food and serve as soldiers are all in the city, who dares to stand up and speak against it?

At this time, as soon as they saw the Tang army entering the city, some of them immediately took off their military uniforms, lost their weapons, and ran back to their homes in small alleys. Standing here are all slow runners.

Gao Jun saw Feng Zheng first, "You guys are coming so fast!" ”

Feng Zheng said, "If it's us people, I'm afraid it will take some trouble, Lord Gao, who is over there?" ”

The tall man raised his eyes and looked under the city gate, and saw that there were several shepherds at the open city gate, who had pushed a waterwheel under the city gate, climbed onto the waterwheel, and were about to pull off a Fang Tian painting halberd inserted in the city gate. It's just that the halberd is too deep and too high, and the tip of the whole halberd is deep into the thick plank of the city gate, and the halberd pole is horizontal, and it is only three or two feet away from reaching another city gate.

As soon as he saw it, he immediately thought of someone, but he looked left and right several times and didn't see the person he was looking for, so he asked Feng Zheng, "Brother Xue has also arrived?" ”

It turned out that in the woods ten miles away from the south gate of Yanqi City, Duan Zhenghai, Feng Zheng and others were waiting anxiously, stretching their necks to look at the northern city, feeling that time had never been so long.

About half an hour later, everyone saw a white-robed man riding a white horse, coming with the charcoal fire that had returned alone, and Feng Zheng recognized it as Xue Li at a glance.

Everyone met, explained the matter in a few short sentences, and Xue Li said, "I have taken water and driven the ox cart back." Who knew that seeing the charcoal fire on the way would just help you. He listened to Feng Zheng explain the strategy arranged by Gao Jun, nodded and said, "Only this is the best policy." With that, Xue Li's waterwheel slowly arrived by the handlebar.

Everything went according to the expectations of the tall man, after the fire in the city, the south gate was opened in a short time, and three waterwheels came out of it and galloped straight to the Danhe River. According to the plan of the tall man, the implementation of the board and the eye went smoothly, but after the waterwheel crossed the suspension bridge, the horse's feet were exposed, and someone at the head of the city shouted, "Why not the original people!" Someone from the south is rushing over, close the gates! ”

At this time, Feng Zheng and the other six people, who pretended to be a sergeant of the water tank, drove the fully loaded waterwheel directly under the open city gate, but the horse pulling the cart was frightened, pulled the waterwheel and ran inside. Feng Zheng was ruthless, chased after him and cut off the horse's leg with a knife, but the suspension bridge outside the city had been pulled high again.

The sergeant in Kaecheng heard the shouts from the city, and hurriedly closed the door while drawing his knife to block Feng Zheng and the others. Feng Zheng and the others took out the seven consecutive hard crossbows hidden in advance from under the waterwheel, and shot the enemy troops who rushed to support the city one after another, while the city gate was slowly closing.

If it weren't for Xue Li's presence, Feng Zheng and these people would definitely be more than lucky in the city. Xue Li's horse was also fast, and as soon as he saw the waterwheel crossing the suspension bridge, he urged the horse to rush across the Danhe, and Duan Zhenghai led the cavalry to follow closely behind.

Xue Li took the lead, shot an arrow in the distance and broke the sling, saw that the city gate was slowly closing, and threw the halberd out with all his might! (To be continued.) )
