Sixty-seven Outwit Gao Yang
"Help...... Ahem...... Ahem......"
In the midst of the fire in the camp, countless "fire men" were running around, trying to break free from the flames behind them. Many thieves rolled on the ground, but as soon as the fire on their bodies was extinguished, they were trampled alive by countless pairs of big feet, or the rest of the thieves who were overturned on the ground ignited the fire again, and gradually died in endless torment......
The iron armor of the Iron Tiger Army's soldiers was burned red by the fire, and the hot armor leaves devoured and tore their skin inch by inch, until they were finally burned into a pile of white bones and turned into ashes, leaving only a terrible sound that did not seem like a human cry echoing over the entire plain......
Outside the camp, countless thieves kept fleeing by stepping on corpses all over the field, but the fire oil in this other world was extremely sticky, and once it burned, it was like the wind blowing wheat waves, bringing up a whole sea of fire. The corpses on the ground became the fuel of the burning oil, and some "fire men" brought up pieces of fire when they passed by, and the cold wind spread across the battlefield in an instant, and the smoke rose straight into the sky, covering the sun in the west, like night......
In Wuliang Town, Wei Yi and the guards looked at the billowing smoke and were speechless for a long time, and at this time, a voice in everyone's head kept echoing: This Li Suwen is so ruthless.
It didn't take long for Li Xiuwen to slowly step onto the city wall, standing behind Wei Yi and watching the results he had made with his own hands in front of him, and the surrounding generals couldn't help but avoid a few steps when they saw him.
After a long time, Wei Yi sighed slowly, and said to Li Xiuwen: "Su Wen, you are not a general, this fire has burned your Li family's prestige, and the revival of the Li family is hopeful......
Li Xiuwen bowed slightly and said, "Thanks to the support of Commander Wei, the last general just did some trivial things......
Several generals around couldn't help frowning when they heard this: A trivial matter? Is it a trifle that you burned an army of thieves to ashes?
I saw that Li Suwen's expression was calm, and he was not happy or angry, and said lightly to Wei Yi: "General, now Duan Hong's defeat is a foregone conclusion, and the crisis in Wuliang Town has been solved, but presumably there are still people around Duan Hong who dare to die to protect the lord, and once the back road of Liudaokou is broken, Duan Hong's remnants must only retreat to Gaoyang, and the last general pleads to lead a team of soldiers and horses, take this opportunity to pursue Duan Hong, recover Gaoyang by the way, and calm the Heyuan thieves in one fell swoop!" ”
Wei thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...... This is a big deal, let me think about it. ”
Li Suwen clasped his fists and saluted, he knew that it would not be long before Wei Yi would agree, all he had to do was wait quietly.
……
Gong Qing and Lei Meng had already been burned to charcoal by the fire along with many thieves at this time, and the total of 6,000 sharp soldiers under them was also burned. They originally had the task of assassinating Zhang Zhong on this trip, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven, and a fire not only made them unable to complete the task in this life, but also buried their own lives by the way......
Ding Jian's face was blackened by the fire, his body was burned a lot, and the blood blisters were all over his bare arms, looking at the charred corpses faintly appearing in the dense fog and the earth-shattering fighting sound of the thunder army around him, his heart was full of remorse.
"If I can get out of here alive this time, I will definitely go to Jingtai to join Governor Lin, and I will never be a thief again." After making up his mind, Ding Jian endured the pain of his arm, tore off a large piece of clothing and cloth and hugged it on his head, and moved out of the battlefield on his knees......
When Duan Hong fled to Liudaokou with his thieves under the pursuit of the Thunder Army, he was caught up by another Thunder Army that was waiting for work, and the two sides fought again, bringing countless blood splashes......
"Rogue! Come on! But seeing that a general of the Third Banner Regiment of the Thunder Army saw Duan Hong, he roared and slapped his horse, knocking over seven or eight thieves who blocked the way all the way, carrying an iron spear and taking Duan Hong's place directly, and thousands of soldiers behind him followed closely, harvesting all the terrified thieves scattered along the way.
"Hah!" But when he heard that thousands of soldiers at the entrance of Liudaokou shouted in unison, they used their own iron armor as a blade to knock the thieves who came crowded and had no armor to the ground......
Duan Hong was so frightened that he turned around and grabbed his horse and fled, but at this time, the hundreds of thousands of thieves had completely collapsed, and he didn't have the courage to turn around and fight to the death with the Thunder Army, crowded into a group and waiting for the Thunder Army to slaughter.
……
Outside Gaoyang City, in front of Yang Kaishan's formation, thousands of captured thieves were strung together with ropes, and they were beheaded to death one by one in front of tens of thousands of thieves on the city wall.
Yang Youhuai looked at it energetically, muttered a few words to Fang Jing behind him, and rode his horse to Yang Kaishan, and said loudly: "Mr. Yang Qi!" It's too much! ”
Yang Kaishan squinted at the stunned thieves in the city, and then said loudly: "My Jingwei Camp is a thing that is not as good as killing animals, come here, do it!" ”
As soon as the words fell, hundreds of thieves were immediately stabbed through the throat with spears by the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion......
"This ...... This ......" Zhang Hui on the city tower turned pale at the moment, and he couldn't say a word when he looked at the scene under the city.
In the past five or six days, the Jingwei Battalion of Meihe Town, which was originally not in touch with the well water of Gaoyang City, suddenly attacked, directly broke through the Houtu Fort, advanced to the foot of Gaoyang City, and uprooted all the strongholds of the Shunyi Army along the way. When the thieves in many strongholds heard of the arrival of the Jingwei camp, they were immediately so frightened that they hid in the dark overnight in the city, and there was no bandit point within a hundred miles outside the city.
"What the hell do you want?" Zhang Hui watched another wave of more than 100 thieves being executed under the city, and had to have the courage to ask the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion under the city what they wanted.
"Open the gates, let us in, or this is your fate!" Saying that, Yang Kaishan slapped the back of the knife at a thief Tianling Gai, and suddenly the thief bled through seven holes, and was crushed to death by crushing his skull.
"No...... It's impossible to ......" Zhang Hui trembled with fright, and now he finally realized the frightened look of the thieves and the routed baggage team who fled to the city after the Meihe Town was breached, but it was impossible for him to open the city gate.
"Huh?" Yang Kaishan glanced at Yang Kai and Guo Tao, then at Yang Youhuai and Sun Cheng, and then said loudly: "Then you can continue to watch!" Come on, continue the execution! This time, you will kill yourself in a different way, and the general said that you don't have to ask how you want to kill him, as long as you don't act like a madman. ”
"Hahahaha!" More than 1,700 soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion burst out laughing, and then dragged the thieves aside one by one, or applied all the methods they could think of to these beasts, such as strangling or cutting their throats. One of the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion with an iron brush stabbed directly at the head of the first-class thief, and instantly screamed, and blood splashed his face. The suppressed dark side of the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion is being ruthlessly vented at the moment, and the more than 1,000 soldiers who have just joined the Jingwei Battalion are holding back their nausea and not vomiting......
"Delivery...... I've left it to you, keep it...... General Ben ...... first Let's go back to the city lord's mansion first...... "Zhang Hui was afraid that if he stayed any longer, the whole person would collapse, so he simply left the city tower and went back to the mansion under the escort of his own soldiers.
Seeing that there was no trace of Zhang Hui on the city tower, Yang Kaishan and the others didn't bother to do any more tricks, and directly ordered people to hastily stab the remaining thousands of thieves to death, and then muttered to themselves: "The general should be almost here, and it will be up to them next, I hope Mr. Qin's strategy can succeed." ”
On the avenue on the right side of Gaoyang City Tower, more than 1,000 cavalrymen suddenly appeared, these cavalry were in shabby clothes, and the weapons in their hands were also varied, and they had everything.
", phew!" I saw these cavalry marching to the right side of the building, and the cavalry who led a leader-like cavalry rode forward and spat forward, pointed at the thieves who were on full guard above, and said loudly: "Damn, don't open the door quickly!" Running for funeral? ”
The thieves on the castle tower were stunned for a moment, and a thief who looked like a guard poked his head out and took a closer look, only to see the very young cavalry leader sitting on his horse and slapping the dust on his body, and behind him there was a bald head who looked like a sharp soldier, and a ruffian with a full beard.
"Who are you?" The thief general asked timidly.
The young rogue general immediately scolded angrily: "It's cool in the dry! Your family Duan Hong is thousands of miles away begging Lao Tzu to invite you from Jingtai to help you guard the city, what is your attitude bastard? Is the water boiling? Is the rice cooked? Mother's more than 1,000 miles away, tired to death! Don't open the gates yet! ”
When the guard heard him say this, he believed it a little, and now the thousands of soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion in front of the main gate are still constantly provoking, and these cavalry are coming at the right time, although there is no guarantee that they can retreat from the enemy, but it is still possible to be strong and courageous and calm down the army's heart.
Although the guard had already believed a little, he still couldn't open the door easily, so he had to shout to the people below: "Wait a moment, everyone, and I'll go and ask our leader!" ”
"I'm Nima!" The young cavalryman cursed and said in a loud voice, "Please show you to be paralyzed?" Dare to love just hang more than a thousand people here, right? Tell you, when the door opens, your grandfather and I will go in and slaughter your grandson first! ”
The guard frowned, and secretly said how could the sharp soldiers be so virtuous, and they were so horizontal? But thinking of his head, he still cautiously apologized: "This leader is angry, and the little one is also eating with a mouthful, please understand!" ”
When the young general saw this, he scolded: "I'm Nima! Hurry up! By the way, prepare a few girls to wait for Lao Tzu to come in and accompany me, do you? Don't try to fool us with vulgar powder! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will go in and stab you all, believe it or not! ”
The guard shouted yes repeatedly, and then, fearing that the cavalry leader would say something unpleasant, he ran to the city lord's mansion to ask for instructions.
After the thief guard disappeared, the cavalry commander turned his horse's head and returned to the formation, and his previous ruffian-like expression immediately converged, replaced by a cold face, this person was none other than Liu Ce, the commander of the Jingwei Battalion.
Liu Ce recalled that when he discussed countermeasures with Qin Mo and others that day, Qin Mo suggested that once he succeeded, he would be able to exchange the lowest casualties for huge results, and save enough capital for the future Zhao'an, after all, once Gaoyang is recovered, it will not only be economic and financial gains, but more importantly, there will be absolutely a lot of capital politically, which can fight for a large enough position for the Jingwei Battalion.
Liu Ce's acting skills were dumbfounded, but they didn't expect their boss to have this talent, especially Xue Peng and Feng Chounian, including Xu Hui and Chu Zijun, more than 1,000 people really admired Liu Ce's five-body throw, and now look at the next results.
He continued to calculate the probability of success this flicker, if he directly disguised himself as a thief to deceive the city, the probability was small and negligible, but if he sent troops to put pressure on the thief before the main gate, his side would have a lot to do, after all, people will lose part of their judgment under extreme panic, so that they can take advantage of it.
Liu Ce felt that as long as the thieves opened the city gate, then there was a seventy percent chance of winning, and the rest depended on how to open the main gate, after all, the thieves were scarce, and although the rest of the thieves had tens of thousands, neither morale nor combat effectiveness was at the same level at all. More importantly, Qin Mohe himself analyzed the battle of Wuliang Town, and directly pointed out several reasons why the thieves would be defeated, so he must take the lead before the Thunder Army conquers Gaoyang.
"General, the thieves will be defeated in the Battle of Wuliang Town, one of the reasons is that Li Suwen is ruthless in his tactics and is good at leading troops to fight, and he knows how to inspire soldiers to work hard, and the thieves are definitely not his opponents. Second, the baggage transported by the thieves from Gaoyang was robbed by the general, and Duan Hong could only rush to the battle in order to prevent the army's confusion, and the strategy originally planned for more than a year must have changed because of this, which was also unexpected by him. The second main reason is that the defeat of the Heyuan Thieves is already doomed, so if the general wants to have a good future for the Jingwei Battalion, this Gaoyang City must be taken before the Thunder Army. ”
Thinking back to Qin Mo's words, Liu Ce secretly made up his mind that no matter what, even for his own sake of Gaoyang City, he must take it.
"Xiaowen, don't you get tired." Xu Huibu, the stubborn young laborer before, was marching with Xu Hui with the army at this time. This young man's name is Zhai Powen, thirteen years old this year, is the only son of a merchant in Gaoyang City, the thieves burned and looted after entering the city, he saw his parents fall in a pool of blood but could not do anything, sad and the thieves gradually turned from fear to bitter hatred, nothing to do not want to take revenge.
Since Zhai Powen and some of the rescued people knew the news in the city more clearly, they also mixed in with Liu Ce's army this time in order to explain the situation in the city in detail for Liu Ce and others.
Zhai Powen shook his head and said: "As long as the general can avenge me, I will not be afraid of any hardship and tiredness!" ”
Xu Hui shook his head and said in his heart: What has this world done to force a child to be?
In this march, Liu Ce deliberately made a long detour from the Yihe Plain and hurried to the horse, just to make a show like a little, giving people the feeling that it was indeed a gesture of a thousand miles away, and he could also get closer to gaining the trust of the thieves.
While pondering, Zhang Hui's figure appeared on the city tower, and he looked down with his body half-exposed, hoping to distinguish whether it was someone from the Shunyi Army below.
Seeing this, Liu Ce and Feng Chou Nian made a look, and immediately changed into a ruffian breath and shouted: "Old man! Have you seen enough? Hurry up and open the door when you've seen enough, you old **! ”
Zhang Hui frowned slightly, and then said, "Dare to ask this strong man if you are Duan Shuai......"
"Duan, you are paralyzed!" Liu Ce rudely interrupted him, "What Duan is handsome and ugly!" Lao Tzu was invited by him, what identity is in front of me, do you know, uncle, what I hate most in my life is to use my identity to oppress people, and the last grave grass who dared to talk to me like this is two meters! ”
Zhang Hui almost brushed his sleeves away, but when he thought of the wolf-like Jingwei battalion at the main gate, he still endured it and said, "Dare to ask the general if it is Jingtai ......"
"Are you fucking finished?" Liu Ce's eyes were red, and he greeted the soldiers behind him and said, "If you have something to say, don't you open the door first!" I haven't drunk a sip of water after hanging here for a long time! Brothers, will you agree? ”
"No!"
"Break open the city gates, and leave no armor behind!"
"him."
Looking at the excitement of the crowd under the city, Zhang Hui sighed, and made a look at the thieves guarding the door, and then the guard sent someone to slowly open the door.
"What ink!" Liu Ce muttered dissatisfiedly, and took the lead in stepping into the city, and the soldiers behind him also slowly rode into the city......
Liu Ce came to Zhang Hui, turned over and dismounted and said to him: "Don't hide it, Lao Tzu has an important letter from your Duan Shuai in his arms, you go and arrange a banquet, bring all the generals to the banquet, and I will read out your Duan Shuai's instructions." ”
