Chapter 7 The Raptors Cross the River and Fight Strong

Section 6 Interrupting Their Vitality and Mobilizing Their Minds (I)

When Gu Xinghai saw the situation outside the city, he only felt a wave of exhaustion coming, his body couldn't help shaking, and he hurriedly held the arrow in front of him with both hands, staring at Liu Yunwei, who was riding a horse outside the city, his eyes were full of anger. At this time, Li Zhenhai, who was standing behind, noticed Gu Xinghai's abnormality, took two steps forward quietly, and used his body to resist Gu Xinghai to prevent him from falling in public if he couldn't support it.

Li Zhenhai whispered in Gu Xinghai's ear: "Master, let's go back to the county government first, I think this battle needs to be considered in the long run." The lord has to take care of his body, if the lord falls, the sky of our Gu family will collapse! ”

Gu Xinghai couldn't stop panting, his chest rose and fell violently, and he said fiercely: "Let's go back, let people keep an eye on the movements of the Hanwei camp and strictly guard the city!" ”

Li Zhenhai nodded, gave a few words to the subordinates behind him, and then left the city wall with Gu Xinghai in his arms with the surrounding family members.

And Liu Yunwei saw that Gu Xinghai's figure was missing from the city wall, so he returned to the formation. At this time, Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Li Tianhao, Wang Dangdang, and Zhao Kaishan had already come to the iron cavalry array, and Liu Yunwei greeted everyone one by one. Then, Liu Yunwei said to everyone: "It seems that this Gu Xinghai's mind is really tough, most of his subordinates have gone, and even one of his sons has died, but he still refuses to surrender." Could it be that Gu Xinghai still wants to turn the tables and win? What other capital does he have to fight against us? ”

Everyone also couldn't figure it out, it is said that now Gu Xinghai is trapped in a lonely city, unable to win a field battle, and holding on to the city without reinforcements is already a mortal situation, where will there be any chance to turn defeat into victory?

Lu Ying thought for a while and said, "Big brother, now the three Yellow River ferries in the south are still in the hands of the Gu family, could it be that Gu Xinghai has some other backhand, and will rush from there to rescue the Gu family?" ”

Liu Yunwei thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "Impossible, Lord Zhang Yuxing can be said to know everything about the Gu family, and he has never mentioned that there are any other people in the Gu family; So I think the biggest possibility is that Gu Xinghai is still obsessed and wants to fight to the end with us. ”

"Could it be that Lord Zhang Yuxing is hiding something from us?" Lu Ying said with some concern.

"No, it won't." Liu Yunwei said categorically: "It won't do him any good to deceive us, and now Lord Zhang should want to see the Gu family end more than us." ”

Everyone thought about it for a while, and it was really the truth.

It's just that now that the two sides have fallen into a temporary stalemate, the Hanwei battalion will not risk attacking the city at the cost of huge casualties, and the Gu family cannot take the initiative to break the siege on their own; Before Zhang Yuxing led his troops to join the war group, the battle in Shanxian seemed to have come to a standstill.

Everyone looked at the strong city defense of the single county and county town, and there was nothing to do, after all, the Hanwei battalion was a battalion that was good at field warfare, and was not equipped with heavy weapons for attacking strong cities.

And just when everyone was at a loss, Liu Yunwei laughed and said, "Haha, since Gu Xinghai wants to continue fighting, then let's accompany him to maneuver a little more." ”

"Big brother has a plan?" Lu Ying asked.

Zhao Kaishan said in surprise: "I'll just say, the eldest brother must have a way to capture the city." ”

Liu Yunwei waved his hand and said, "I haven't thought of a way to capture the city for the time being, but I have thought of a way to disintegrate Gu Xinghai's mind. ”

Wu Xing pondered for a moment and said, "The eldest brother wants to go to the army and plot and surrender without a fight?" ”

"Yes." Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "Anyway, Lord Zhang Yuxing hasn't arrived yet, let's give it a try, if it works, it can also save us a lot of energy and time." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all in high spirits, and they all asked, "Will the eldest brother be safe?" ”

Liu Yunwei looked at the well-defended city wall and said, "Since he Gu Xinghai has made up his mind to hide in the city and not come out, then let's do something to make the people of the Gu family restless in the city." When Gu Xinghai loses his fighting spirit, or there is a problem with the morale of the defenders in the city, maybe there will be a turn for the better in this battle. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yunwei paused, and then continued: "Wen Poyu, you immediately lead the Changshui Department to the south, and you must capture the three ferries on the banks of the Yellow River in the shortest possible time, completely cutting off the Gu family's way of life; Gao Hongguang, in the evening, you lead the Eagle Yang Department around the city to Gujiazhuang, and set off a fire to burn Gujiazhuang to me! The rest of the soldiers continued to besiege the city and tightly sealed the four gates of Shanxian County. In this way, let's cut off their vitality and move their minds, if Gu Xinghai and his men can still hold the city without any flaws, we can wait for Lord Zhang Yuxing to come with peace of mind. ”

Two hours later, the ferry crossing.

Gu Leopard sat under a makeshift pergola, leaning on a very comfortable chair, the whole person was a little drowsy from the sun, and a family member next to him was flattering and shaking a fan for him.

At this time, there were 400 river soldiers of the Gu family stationed at the Huangqikou ferry, in addition to the 30 family soldiers brought by Gu Leopard, these are all the defensive forces of the entire ferry; The rest of the Gu family's Heding were scattered in the two ferries of Lijikou and Zhuwangkou.

The hot sun shone unscrupulously on the earth, as if it wanted to drain all the water from the ground; In particular, the ferry port located on the edge of the Yellow River is extremely humid and sultry, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Gu Leopard hid under the pergola and rested for a while, then he couldn't stay any longer, drank a pot of water in a big gulp, and couldn't stop complaining: "Grandma's! What the hell is this weather! Why don't the eldest brother and the second brother suffer here? My father is so partial that he wants me to come here to do this drudgery! ”

Gu Leopard vented the dissatisfaction in his heart, and at this moment, bursts of dust rose on the ground in the distance, getting bigger and closer.

Gu Leopard looked over there, and said to himself, "Could it be that the eldest brother brought someone here?" What is he doing here? ”

But after looking at it for a while, Gu Leopard saw that something was wrong: "No, this is not the eldest brother, not my Gu family's people!" My Gu family's horse team doesn't have such momentum! ”

Thinking of this, Gu Leopard was suddenly startled, and an extremely terrifying thought appeared in his mind: "That's the Hanwei Battalion?" How did they get here? Could it be that there is a problem in Shanxian County? ”

didn't have time to think about it, Gu Leopard immediately roared: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! Get up and prepare for me! ”

The surrounding family members and river soldiers also spotted the iron cavalry charging in the distance, and they all ran in panic, pushing the antlers and carts in the ferry to the front, preparing to intercept the impact of the iron cavalry.

Gu Leopard shouted loudly and commanded his subordinates to set up defenses, and soon the front of the Huangqikou ferry was covered with antlers and carts, and the four hundred river soldiers in the ferry were all hiding behind with sharp blades, ready to meet the incoming enemy at any time.

Gu Bao was standing in the middle of Heding with a big knife in his hand at this time, and was just about to send someone to the other two ferries to report the news, so that he could strictly guard against the possible attack of the Hanwei battalion, when an incredible scene happened in front of him.

I saw that there were about 400 people in the Hanwei battalion who had already killed the front, and under the leadership of a fierce general, they suddenly changed direction, skillfully avoided the well-defended ferry, and turned to the right side of the ferry: the right side without obstruction!

Gu Leopard screamed at this scene, he never expected that hundreds of iron riders would be able to complete the steering so neatly and easily under the condition of charging at high speed, which was simply impossible. Gu Leopard even thought for a moment that the iron cavalry in front of him was all composed of Tartars who had been riding horses since childhood, but the iron cavalry soldiers who had been killed in front of him were all wearing Ming armor, tied their hair and wearing crowns, and they were all authentic Han family children.

"What is the origin of this Hanwei Battalion, that there are such elite iron horses? I'm going to be in trouble when I go to Gu's house! ”

Gu Leopard only had time to sigh in his heart, and then he heard an earth-shattering loud noise, only to hear a "boom", and this Hanwei battalion iron cavalry directly crashed into hundreds of river dings. The ferry port was suddenly in a mess, and there were Gu Jiahe Ding and Jia Ding who were killed and injured everywhere.

Gu Leopard screamed and escaped the fatal blow of the Hanwei Battalion's iron cavalry, and hid on the bank of the Yellow River with several family members. And when Gu Leopard looked back at the ferry again, the whole person was stunned, only to see that the hundreds of Hanwei battalion iron horsemen were rushing back and forth, wantonly slaughtering their subordinates, as if chopping melons and vegetables, hundreds of river dings and dozens of families in the ferry had no power to fight back at all.

Everything came so fast that Gu Leopard and his men didn't have time to make a counterattack, and they were already defeated by the Hanwei Battalion Iron Cavalry in one fell swoop!

Gu Bao looked at the scene in front of him, and knew that the Huangqikou ferry was lost, so he was ruthless and said to several family members around him: "Quick! Go get ready for the boat, let's get out of here right away! ”

When the family members heard this, they immediately rushed to the ferry parked on the side, and after a few moments, the ferry was ready.

Seeing this, Gu Leopard hurriedly got on the boat and shouted, "Rowing! Give me a quick time, and if you don't want to die here, paddle hard! ”

Several family members were all rowing the ferry, and even two people were paddling the river with their hands without oars. Seeing that the ferry boat was leaving the shore little by little, Gu Leopard's heart that he had been carrying finally let go, and he looked back to see the situation of the ferry. Gu Leopard saw that the entire ferry had calmed down, the Gu family's Heding and Jiading had fallen to the ground, the soldiers of the Hanwei Battalion were cleaning the battlefield, but the strong general who led the troops was standing on the shore, with a feathered arrow on the strong bow in his hand, pointing at him. Gu Leopard was stunned when he saw this scene, and at this moment, with a "bang", the general shot an arrow at Gu Leopard.
