Gao Rou has gone crazy, and she regrets her indecision.

Lu Peng attacked and merged with the state, in fact, when his brother Gao Gan walked out of the foundation of the state to reinforce the lord of Guandu, he should have thought of it, and he should have made some corresponding preparations.

At the time, I didn't do that.

As a result, when he got the news that Lu Peng sent troops to Zhongshan Changshan in Yizhou and was ready to seize the annexation of the state, it was already too late, and Lu Peng's soldiers occupied Zhongshan Changshan in the Jingcheng barrier without blood.

And when he was reorganizing his team and preparing to occupy Jingcheng Road, the soldiers on patrol said to themselves that outside his pass, there were figures moving on the cliff at the exit of Jingcheng, and at this time, Gao Rou was completely stunned by the speed of Youzhou's action.

However, it was necessary to seize the mouth of the well, so Gao Rou immediately organized his men to attack the rabble who occupied the pass first.

Standing here, you can clearly see the clothes of those people, including merchants in silk and satin, servants in green clothes and small hats, beggars in ragged clothes, and even more short clothes and short fights.

The weapons in their hands included knives, guns, spears, kitchen knives, and stones, and the number of them was only 2,000, and after a few days of consumption, there were less than 1,000 left.

But these 2,000 rabble, but always let themselves take the order of the pass before dark, always after one dark, another after dark, this is already the third day of darkness, the pass is still in the hands of those rabble, they have injured thousands of people, but they still can't help them.

Gao Rou was specially sent by his brother Gao Gan to lead 10,000 elite soldiers and strong generals to guard Jingcheng Pass (the word Niangzi Pass comes from the name changed from the bloody battle here by Tang Taizong's sister).

After Lu Peng in Youzhou seized Renqiu in Zhuo County, Gao Gan immediately separated Jingcheng Pass from the original Changshan County and let his clan brother garrison alone, the reason is that he really didn't trust Bao Tao, the minister of Zhongshan who had become accustomed to surrender, and the old and mediocre Changshan Taishou, who could fight to the death when Lu Peng's army was pressing.

In Gao Gan's heart, Zhongshan and Changshan cannot become the barrier of the heart of the state, and the real barrier of the state is the Taihang Eight Essentials.

And Jing Cheng was in the middle of the defense line facing Youzhou, so Gao Gan guarded his family's strongest brother Gao Rou here.

As long as you keep the middle, then, if any of the other eight is lost, there is also a chance to turn it over.

As a result, the battle situation was as expected by Gao Intervention, and Lu Peng's first choice was indeed to take the Jingcheng Road first and break through in the middle.

Gao Rou also knew the importance of his Jingcheng Pass, and in the case of getting Lu Peng's troops to merge with the state, and Zhongshan Changshan surrendered without a fight, the first thing was to prepare to send troops to Jingcheng, or block or ambush the enemy.

Gao Rou's actions are not insignificant, but the enemy's actions are faster, just on the way Gao Rou dispatched the whole army and horses, out of the Niangzi Pass, and on the way to seize Jingcheng, a group of rabble, preemptively occupied the mouth of Jingcheng Cliff, blocking the next move of the army.

But Gao Rou really underestimated the rabble in front of him, although they were old and weak, although they had various occupations, they had a common, tenacious and tenacious heart.

He has cut off the heads of more than a dozen of his own soldiers in a row, staring at blood-red eyes, brandishing blood-drenched swords, and roaring hoarsely at his tens of thousands of subordinates: "Attack and attack, if anyone dares to take a step back, this is their fate." ”

Another attack was launched, but in the blink of an eye, it was defeated by the enemy on the opposite side.

"Waste, waste, I feed you with countless money and food, I arm you with the best equipment and armor, but you can't beat the rabble on the opposite side, attack and attack, if you can't take the cliff pass on the opposite side before dark, I will kill you all."

As a result, at this well, the 10,000-strong army fought with a rabble of less than 2,000 for three days, with countless casualties, and could not take a step forward.

A lieutenant general in charge of the attack ran to Gao Rou in embarrassment, saw his bloody sword, knelt down from a distance, and reported with horror on his face: "General Qiyu, the soldiers are exhausted after a day's attack, and I implore the general to let everyone rest and organize the attack." ”

Gao Rou immediately jumped up, brandished her bloody sword, and cut off the head of the lieutenant with a sword, her face was hideous, and her eyes were blood-red and roared: "You can't take the other party's pass before dark, this is your example." ”

The soldiers who had just retreated from defeat watched each other in horror, and finally had to turn their bodies again, organize their men and horses, and continue to attack the enemy's entrenched pass. But this time, the attacking centaurs moved as slowly as snails, one by one cowering, and none of them were brave enough to move forward.

The opponent's combat power is actually not strong, but the opponent's will to fight is extremely strong.

The number of the other party is not large, but the position occupied by the other party is very important, and it is very dangerous, and it is blocking the port into the well.

Gao Rou knew that he had to take this place before the Lu Jiajun broke out of the Jingcheng Road, and then collapse the Jingcheng cliff, so that his own annexation would be safe.

Repelling another enemy attack, the thousand-legged shopkeeper Chen sat panting on a protruding stone, his chest panting as violently as pulling a bellows.

swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the small amount of saliva ran through the throat, making the already burning throat a hot pain.

Facing a brother dressed as a scribe beside him, he said dumbly: "Go and count how many brothers are left." ”

The brother dressed as a scribe agreed, and hurriedly ran out, and came back in a short time to report: "Commander Qiqi, now on our side, there are still four hundred and ten left, and on the opposite pass, Commander Zhao Qianfu has passed the word, and there are still five hundred." ”

Shopkeeper Chen nodded silently, looked at the sky, and couldn't help but breathe: "Fortunately, I only lost two hundred brothers today, and the sun is about to set, and today's battle should come to an end." ”

Three days ago, he and his colleague Zhao Qianhu, that is, a big teapot in a brothel, each took their own brothers, and quietly occupied the passes on both sides of the well.

After the first battle, more than 500 brothers were lost on the same day. More than four hundred the next day, less than three hundred today.

The loss is like this, because everyone is doing this brocade guard, usually playing with their mouths and using their ears, and their martial arts have begun to be abandoned.

For example, that Lao Liu, who was originally a shrewd and capable man, since he became a detective of Jinyiwei, he has been with wealthy businessmen every day, and he has drunk and feasted every day, although he has obtained a lot of useful information, but he has also eaten a capable man into a fat man who is panting when he walks.

There was also the beggar, begging along the street, hungry and full, his health was already too bad, it took more than two days to run from Taiyuan to Jingchengkou, and a brother almost died of exhaustion on the road, but fortunately he persevered.

There is such a group of real rabble, facing Gao Rou's army of 10,000, if you want to stop him, you really need to pay a heavy price.

As the so-called big waves wash the sand, although this makes people feel cruel, but it is indeed an indisputable fact, on the first day, the weak body or low combat skills died here, and the next day, a group of brothers were killed again.

War is cruel, everyone knows their fate, their own mission, and at the same time, everyone fights and persists for the ideal they adhere to in their hearts.
