Chapter 503: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Lu Junyi captured Shuozhou City, captured the commander Guo Zhiquan, won the first battle, and ordered his soldiers to take care of him, and then dispose of it together when he captured Huanzhou City! In addition, he left more than 2,000 people, led by Yang Yizhong, to clean up the battlefield and guard the city gate.

As for Lu Junyi, he led the rest of the soldiers to Huanzhou to join the army led by Zhao Gou, and then capture Huanzhou!

At the same time, Zhao Gou led the army to ambush on the road to Huanzhou City, as long as he saw Shuozhou soldiers coming, he would definitely catch turtles in the urn and capture them!

If the messenger is captured, it is the time to attack Huanzhou City.

Zhao Gou ordered the army to lie in ambush on both sides of the road, quietly, without making any sound, and waited for the messenger soldier to ride a fast horse, and there was a sound of horses' hooves, until he saw a figure, which appeared, and shot a cold arrow coldly.

The man did not know that there was an ambush, he obeyed the general's military orders, asked for help, and held the token in his arms, but unfortunately he died before he could complete his mission.

"The marshal is not bad, this person is the person sent by Shuozhou to move the rescue soldiers!" Gao Zhong groped around with him for a long time, took out a token engraved with the word 'Guo', and handed it to Zhao Gou.

"With this token, the Huanzhou field must belong to the Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Gou was overjoyed to see that he got the token, and everything went according to his expectations.

"Gao Xianxian, it's time for you to appear!"

Overjoyed, the pet nodded in agreement, then took off the man's clothes, put them on himself, and galloped away.

"Brothers, the time has come to make a contribution!" Zhao Gou shouted, "Pass on my military order: march to Huanzhou City!" ”

The army obeyed Zhao Gou's military orders and marched forward in unison.

Gao Pet rushed to Huanzhou City non-stop, arrived at the city gate, and shouted: "Come to the city gate, I am under the command of Marshal Guo, the commander of Shuozhou, and I am here to see the general!" ”

The inspecting general looked around, and saw that there was nothing unusual, and there was no dust flying, that is, there was no ambush, and immediately ordered someone to open the city gate and go up to verify the identity.

Gao Zhong took out the token and handed it to them for inspection, and when they saw that the token really believed it, they immediately led Gao Zhong into the city and went straight to the general's mansion.

When Guo Zhimin heard Shuozhou's request for help, he was a little incredible, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he put on his clothes and went straight to the city gate.

The two happened to meet halfway, and when Gao Zhong saw Guo Zhimin coming in a hurry, he panicked, knelt down on one knee in a hurry, and pleaded: "General, please send troops to reinforce Shuozhou quickly!" ”

Guo Zhimin took the token, and when he saw that it was really his brother's belongings, he hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

Gao Chong replied in a panic: "General Hui, at the fifth watch tonight, there was a team of unknown origin attacking Shuozhou City, they were menacing, and the soldiers couldn't resist it, so the general came and asked the general to send reinforcements." ”

Guo Zhimin was shocked: "There is an enemy coming? ”

He has been guarding the city of Huanzhou here for more than 20 years, and he has been safe and sound, and he has never heard of anyone attacking, unless the emperor of the Song Dynasty violates the covenant and raises troops to attack, there is no other possibility.

Guo Zhimin remembered the news he heard a few days ago, saying that Song Jin had signed an alliance to jointly conquer Liao, so the only possibility was the Song army.

"How many enemy troops are there?"

Gao Zhong replied: "There are tens of thousands of people in a few, the general please send troops to meet it quickly, if it is too late, I am afraid that Shuozhou will be lost and the marshal will be captured!" ”

Guo Zhimin was a little surprised, but he heard Gao Zhong mention that his brother's life was on the verge of death. If he doesn't rescue himself, then his brother's life is in danger, and if he doesn't save him when he sees death, he is afraid of being severely punished.

Shuozhou and Huanzhou are one, and if there is a war in any place, they must support each other so as not to lose control, as long as one of them is lost, then the other city will also be lost.

Divide is death, merge is life, life and death together!

Guo Zhimin hurriedly passed on the military order, asked the army to prepare, and set off immediately. This time, the enemy army has 10,000 people, and Shuozhou has thousands of generals, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he led more than 5,000 people to rescue Shuozhou, leaving more than 2,000 people to defend the city, telling the deputy general that if there is an enemy attack, not to fight, must not hold out.

The adjutant general nodded in agreement, and then watched Guo Zhimin leave, and ordered someone to quickly close the city gate, and all the soldiers had to cheer up and prepare for battle.

"You go down and eat something and get some rest!" The adjutant general looked at Gao Chong with concern and said, "Don't worry, my general has gone to support, Shuozhou City will be fine, you go down first to rest!" ”

"Thank you, General!" Gao Chong replied movingly, but when the lieutenant turned back, he showed a strange smile, and secretly thought: "I'm relieved, your general has never returned, and Shuozhou is afraid that it has already fallen!" ”

Gao Chong's face was moved, and he sneered in his heart.

Originally, he was also going to go together, but he was already overwhelmed by all the way, so he stayed. It's just that he still insisted on going, but was stopped by Guo Zhimin and praised his loyalty.

In fact, Guo Zhimin didn't know that all this was disguised, and Gao Chong's tiredness was also pretended, and so was his injury.

Because when he was dressed as the Shuozhou army, if there was no dust and blood, how could it be that he was really from Shuozhou, and how could Guo Zhimin be anxious and want to rescue Shuozhou, without checking in detail, all this was to make Guo Zhimin believe that the battle in Shuozhou was tragic and he couldn't resist it.

Gao Pet was "tired" and tired, and his tired body could only continue to move forward with the support of the soldiers, and finally arrived at the hotel, so he lay down to rest.

After the man left, he opened his eyes sharply again, looked around and saw that there was really no one, and then went out.

At the same time, Zhao Gou saw Guo Zhimin rushing to the rescue, he saw it all clearly, but did not stop him, but let him go.

Guo Zhimin didn't see Song Jun either, and his eagerness made him keep patting the horse's back and roaring away.

Seeing that he had already left, Zhao Gou ordered 5,000 people to be left behind, followed by Lu Junyi to listen to his orders, and he himself led more than 10,000 people straight to Huanzhou City.

This time, he did not act in the shadows, but marched in an open and honest manner. Huanzhou City is less guarded by Guo Zhimin, and there are more than 5,000 troops missing, and it is easy to capture Huanzhou City.

The lieutenant general cheered up and stood guard on the tower of the city gate, and when he saw a mighty army galloping towards him, he immediately gave the order to prepare for battle.

Zhao Gou shouted: "The army has surrounded you, and you should not surrender quickly!" ”

"You have the ability to attack!" The adjutant general scolded, "The Song people are treacherous and tear up the covenant, this is an unkind and unrighteous act!" ”

"Attack!" Seeing that he did not surrender, and did not want to talk to him more, Zhao Gou directly ordered the siege of the city.

The soldiers rushed up one after another, making the peaceful city of Huanzhou immediately become a purgatory on earth, and the sound of fighting and shouting shook the sky.

Zhao Gou launched an attack without any hesitation, he was the attacker, and the defenders of Huanzhou had a geographical advantage, and the defense was leaky, so that the Song army could not attack for a while.
