Chapter 116: Waiting for help
The little leader of the Luozhao faction here hesitated a little, and it took him a moment before he remembered what his mission was, and when he saw that there were not many people on the other side, he thought that Shang Ke could prevaricate. So he walked out of the gate of the Duli Palace, raised his head and asked, "You are not staying in the town office, why are you here?" β
Guo Xiaoke's guard didn't say a word, condescendingly waved the horsewhip in his hand, and "snapped" into the face of the little leader, "Bold, the governor of Xizhou is here, can't you see it with your dog's eyes open?" β
When the little leader was whipped by the horsewhip and his face was hot, and when he bent down to cover his face and couldn't open his eyes, the guards behind Guo Dudu had already rushed up to four or five, and kicked this person several times, "Let you be rude, tie it up and let Du Du fall!" And the rest of the people almost didn't stop, and rushed straight to the gate of the palace with Guo Dudu!
The rest of the other party saw the people inside the gate and the leader was beaten, which they didn't expect. When two of the clever people inside remembered to push the doors on both sides to close, Guo Dudu and the others had already come to the front.
These people under Guo Dudu are all three or five people who can't get close. He did not need to get down from his horse, but leaned his horse against the gate, and at the same time pulled one foot out of the stirrup, and with a few feet he knocked them to the ground, and then each of them had a sharp blade around his neck.
Twenty people guarded the gate, bows and arrows were wound on guard, and one of them bent his fingers, and blew a loud whistle in his mouth to report to Guo Zhizhao, who was not far away. The ten people followed Guo Dudu's car and went straight to the backyard of the palace.
The servants and maids in the palace were so frightened that they ran to the back to report the news, and they also finished talking to their masters, and King Yanqi also heard them clearly, and Guo Dudu also stood in front of him.
When the edict heard the whistle in the town office, nearly 400 people who had already been ready to go rushed out with a shout. The so-called soldiers are fast and unexpected. The enemy's troops here are indeed quite a lot, but they are distributed around the town, but Guo Zhizhao's four hundred people concentrated their fists on one point, and almost in the blink of an eye, they dispersed the frontal enemy, and the whirlwind generally blew to the palace.
When the other party reacted, he mobilized people from other places to chase him to the palace. Guo Zhizhao and these people had already entered the compound, closed the heavy gate, and locked it. Waiting for the battle on the walls of the tall royal palace.
Even if the two sides have made their intentions clear to each other at this time, they no longer need to hide it. A fierce battle is coming. Guo Dudu gathered King Yanqi and his wife, children and other relevant personnel and locked them in one room for people to see, and the people were not allowed to move in another place.
Guo Xiaoke sat in the middle of the hall and said to his subordinates, "There is about to be a fierce battle, and we can only rely on the tall walls of the palace to deal with it." Wait for reinforcements to arrive. Let's rush out again and join forces with the inside and outside, and beat him up. β
Guo Beizhao also sent people to the palace to search for a lot of vegetable oil and lamp oil, pulled the cotton wool in the quilt in each bedroom to make a rocket for backup, and the key places on the surrounding walls were guarded by people, and a hundred people were divided into a hundred people holding steel knives to patrol the courtyard in circles, thinking that it was an emergency. As soon as they settled down, Luo Zhao's men and horses surrounded him.
Luo Zhao's calculations seem to be seamless. He saw Guo Xiaoke's father and son drinking in the town office, and he was still afraid that he would have a lot of dreams at night, so he was about to take a last look at the city and officially raise the matter, but he didn't know that some of his subordinates were panting and running. reported, "Guo's father and son have rushed into the palace!" β
Luo Zhao felt a chill down his spine when he heard this, and only then did he realize that he was still not as good as Guo Xiaoke's chess. In Yanqi City, there is only one place in the palace that is easiest to defend and difficult to attack, and it is precisely this place that is occupied by Guo Xiaoke.
He was determined to take back the palace in the shortest possible time and at any cost, otherwise this would be a needle awl on the tip of his heart, and sooner or later he would have to stab him, which would definitely be very uncomfortable.
Therefore, Luo Zhao saw that there was no movement outside the city for the time being, and there was no trace of Xizhou reinforcements. At the beginning, the superior men and horses were mobilized, and the tide generally rushed towards the palace.
When the edict watched the enemy arrive on the courtyard wall, a forty-year-old man on a horse stood at the back of the crowd and shouted. "Do you still want to fight the trapped beasts? Don't want to think about how long it can last? Quickly release our Yanqi King, and open the door to accept the surrender is the right reason!" Guo Beifeng didn't pay attention to it, but secretly wound the arrow behind the battlement.
There were always guards around the man, shaking and blocking him.
Guo Beizhao said loudly, "If you put down your weapon, you will still have a chance for your life." Do you have to be obsessed and wait for the Xizhou army to come over and crush you? β
Luo Zhao didn't have time to rub his tongue with him, and yelled patiently, "Let Guo Xiaoke come out to answer, and now open the door and come out to spare you from dying." Rushing in one night later, can he really bear to see a handful of you people die? β
On the other side of the wall, there was a guard of Guo Dudu who scolded, "Fuck you, how can Guo Dudu talk to you as a thief?" As he spoke, a bottle filled with lamp oil and a fire with a cotton core lit at the mouth of the bottle flew out of the wall and smashed under the feet of the horses of Luo Zhao's group. Luo Zhao's guards turned their horses to dodge and flashed Luo Zhao out.
Guo Zhizhao saw the right time, appeared from behind the wall battlement, and shot an arrow like a meteor towards the edict.
Luo Zhao is also a two-hitter, his hand quickly unscrewed his body to dodge, and let it pass his chest, but his left shoulder was just hit by an arrow. Guo Zhizhao shouted, "Get off the horse, I can give you an antidote, and if it's too late, go and raise the corpse!" His arrow did have a lot of vegetable oil dipped in the oil jar, so it was very slippery in Luo Zhao's arm.
Luo Zhao was so angry that he turned his horse back and fetched his arrows, and almost shouted, "Flatten them for meβ"
There were quite a few thousand men he brought, but he didn't think of attacking the city on his own territory, so he could only flock to the streets that were not wide, and rushed towards the gate of the palace. Someone shot arrows up to cover the door, and more than a dozen people carried a thick log and slammed it against the gate, "Bang-Bang-" Everyone on the wall felt that even the wall was shaking.
Guo Zhizhao commanded his subordinates, lit the cotton wool and rags soaked in oil, and threw them into the crowd below, and the crowd that slammed the door immediately burst into fireworks, and the smell of mushy skin spread, and the log was thrown down like a receding tide.
And the arrow on Luo Zhao's arm had been taken out, and he came back with a bandage and the crowd was behind to supervise the battle, and he saw that his side was crowded on the street and only attacked one point at the gate, and he couldn't give full play to the advantage of having a large number of people. Only by attacking from all sides can Guo Xiaoke's small manpower be scattered in all directions to deal with it. So he commanded his men to besiege them on all sides, and some people found ladders in the city, and with the strength of the people, they surrounded the palace and stormed it.
The pressure in the mansion immediately increased, and Guo Zhizhao could no longer only guard the gate, he ran around the wall, and took the brave man to wave the weapon in his hand, and pushed the enemy soldiers who jumped to the wall like meat. The piercing sound of the blade cutting on the nail leaf, the screams that accompanied it when it was cut on the **, and the sound of the sword hitting were mixed together, and it sounded in all directions.
Guo Xiaoke stood at the door of the hall, his hands crossed on his waist, his eyes blazing. He saw that he had no advantage for a while with the help of the tall and sturdy courtyard wall. And the 100 reserves in the wall, the 20 people guarding the Yanqi royal family and their subordinates are still useless. I can't help but secretly wonder where the reinforcements from Xizhou have arrived.
The timing of his actions in the city is good, the movement in the city is enough to spread out of the city, as long as the periphery starts to attack the city before dark, with his understanding of the group of tiger and wolf soldiers under him, he can counterattack and give the other party a hard blow.
At the moment, only a small number of people on his side who participated in the hand-to-hand combat on the four walls were wounded, but no one died, and he was very satisfied with the result of this section. He shouted, "Wait for the edict, shoot rockets at the haystacks in the distance, and set off smoke!" β
When the edict was answered, he stood on the high wall and ignited all the flammable things within the range of the rocket, and for a while thick smoke rose in the city, which made Luo Zhao even more anxious. Desperately, he supervised the siege of men and horses.
The battle lasted from noon until nightfall, and the enemy was never able to move forward, but there was still no movement outside the city.
Luo Zhao's men and horses briefly stopped the attack to rest, Guo Xiaoke took this opportunity to swap the people on the wall with the people under the wall, and as soon as the guards who had been fighting for a long time came down from the wall, they leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
Guo Dudu called someone to supervise the subordinates of the palace, and the rice cooked in a large pot was sent to the scene, and the pork accumulated in the palace was also stewed and delivered. (To be continued.) )
