Chapter 71: Gao Chang, Gao Chang

Successfully forcing Lu Guang's army back, Wei Shuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

But the grim situation still does not allow him to relax a little.

At present, the two counties of Dunhuang and Jiuquan are at a critical moment in the implementation of the uniform field system, and Gaochang is facing the siege of Qiuzi.

"Duan Sima, Jiuquan will entrust it to you, be sure to complete the dictation as soon as possible."

Facing Wei Shuo Yinyin's advice, Duan Ye hugged his fists and said: "Please rest assured, the last general understands, but what about Gao Chang?" ā€

Wei Shuo glanced at the void in the distance, and said with regret: "Before Hexi is stable, we can't take care of Gaochang, and everything can only rely on Yang Taishou and Li Wei themselves." ā€

"But Shuo firmly believes that they will not let a certain down, and will definitely be able to hold on until the beginning of next spring."

After arranging Jiuquan, Wei Shuo rode his horse and left, followed by Kang Long and hundreds of iron horsemen, heading towards Dunhuang City.

……

On the southern city wall of Gaochang, Li Wei wore a helmet and armor, carried a spear, and looked solemn.

He looked out at the endless wilderness outside the city, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Knock ......" Suddenly, an abrupt war drum sounded in the Qiuzi camp outside the city.

The black pressure under the city was overwhelming, and they suddenly gradually pressed towards the city wall, and the nerves of the soldiers defending the city suddenly tensed when they saw this scene.

Seeing this, Li Wei immediately turned around and shouted, "Prepare to meet the enemy." ā€

Under the city, Bai Zhen rode his horse and stood, looking at the Gaochang City Tower from afar, looking confident, and waved his hand and ordered: "Come on, go and call the battle, and order the defenders to open the door and surrender." ā€

"No." The next one will immediately step forward.

His people looked at the city wall and shouted: "Listen to the Gaochang people, now my family prince led an army of 100,000 to besiege the city, and you will immediately open the city and surrender, or you can save your life, otherwise after the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs left." ā€

Li Wei stood on the city tower, his eyes were cold, he didn't bother to talk to the Qiuzi people at all, and directly ordered: "Beat the drum and prepare for battle." ā€

"Knock, knock, knock." The majestic drum sounded on the castle tower.

This voice, as if Gao Chang was declaring war strongly, made Bai Zhen angry, and his face turned blue with anger.

After a long while, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "The whole army will attack the city, and after the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs left." ā€

In an instant, wave after wave of turtle soldiers continued to kill towards the city wall like an endless wave.

"Kill!"

"Kill, kill into the city."

The shouts of the Qiuzi people came and went, and the sound was even more ferocious and furious.

Li Wei looked calm, without a trace of anxiety, and ordered: "Archer, shoot indiscriminately!" ā€

Wave after wave of arrows poured down into the enemy formation under the city, and immediately a scream sounded, and countless Qiuzi people fell in the rain of arrows.

However, there were too many Qiuzi people, and when the people in front died, someone in the back immediately made up for them, and continued to climb the ladder to the city wall.

"The enemy is coming, and the spearmen come forward and stab."

"Sword and shield soldiers, kill with me."

Li Wei carried a spear and kept fighting on the city wall.

Wherever danger arises, he will meet him and slash down the enemy, preventing the Guizi from surging further.

The enemy and the enemy used the city wall as a battlefield and engaged in fierce battles.

As time went on, the fighting intensified, with numerous casualties on both sides.

During the battle, the Guizi soldiers continued to climb the city walls, and were soon driven down again.

Then another wave of soldiers climbed the wall, and then again and again the defenders drove them down......

Such a cycle of fighting is constantly staged in the city.

Li Wei was even more powerful, the steel gun in his hand was like a dragon out of the water, and every stab and pick would take the life of a turtle soldier.

A general of Qiuzi was brave and wanted to kill Li Wei to become famous, so he quickly climbed the city wall with the help of his personal guards.

As soon as the general climbed the city wall, he casually killed several defenders.

"Be bold, let someone come and meet you."

When the general of Qiuzi continued to kill the other defenders, Li Wei roared angrily and rushed to fight, and the spear stabbed the opponent with all his might.

With a "ding" sound, the guns and knives collided, and the general of Qiuzi felt a numb arm when he boarded, and the long knife almost came out of his hand.

This blow alone made him feel remorseful, maybe he shouldn't have killed him so impulsively, and his life would be lost.

Li Wei is really brave, how can he be an enemy of ordinary people?

I saw the tip of his spear rotate, and at the same time, the body of the spear also moved sideways to stab forward again.

Due to the geographical advantage, he was almost certain that the opponent would not have time to block this move.

Sure enough, seeing the tip of the gun getting closer and closer, there was a hint of despair in Laijiang's eyes, he really didn't expect that he would be so vulnerable in front of Li Wei.

At this moment, it was too late for him to swing his sword to block, so he simply closed his eyes and planned to resign himself to fate.

With a pop, Li Wei's spear stabbed him in the throat accurately, and the other party only let out a scream, and then fell headlong under the city wall.

"The general is mighty!" Seeing this, the morale of the defenders at the head of the city was greatly shaken.

On the contrary, the offensive of the Qiuzi people was sluggish, and their morale was greatly affected, forcing Bai Zhen to order a regroup.

……

In the evening, seeing Li Wei walking in exhausted, Yang Han anxiously asked, "Commander Li, are the defenders suffering big losses today?" ā€

"Don't worry, my lord, until today, the defenders have suffered very little losses, and they have not broken their bones."

"Huh~ So I'm relieved, no matter what, I can't let the Qiuzi people break through the city."

"Please rest assured that Lord Taishou, as long as there is an end of the day, the guaranteed Gaochang will be foolproof."

"Well, the matter of defending the city will be entrusted to Xuansheng, as long as you keep Gaochang, the old man will personally ask for credit for you in the future."

After Yang Han and Li Wei exchanged views on the current situation, they invariably thought of Wei Shuo, who was far away in Hexi.

Originally, there was no impediment between Gaochang and Hexi, and they could receive a steady stream of news from Hexi, but all of this was interrupted with the siege of Qiuzi.

"I don't know what happened to Naoyuan's counterinsurgency in Hexi?"

"Your Excellency is worried about the situation in Hexi?"

Hearing this, Yang Han bowed slightly, to be honest, don't look at Gaochang being besieged by tens of thousands of troops, but he is not worried at all.

Because he knew very well that there were nearly 10,000 elite soldiers in the city, coupled with the help of various bed crossbows and other equipment to defend the city, the people of the Western Regions had almost no possibility of breaking through Gaochang.

And the fact is just as he thought, the turtles have launched several fierce attacks in the past few days, but each time they have hit their heads and broken blood.

"The situation in Hexi is complicated, even if Zhiyuan is surprised, it is still not easy to gain a foothold in Hexi."

"Not to mention the policies launched by Zhiyuan, they will definitely be strongly resisted by the family."

"Xuan Sheng is also a child of the family, when he knows how powerful the family is, the old man is afraid that Zhiyuan will be calculated by the family."

"Dadu Hu has always been resourceful, and he should not be easily calculated by outsiders. Besides, he still has a physical industry by his side, how can he not help with advice? ā€

"In addition, today's Shazhou Thorn Shi is the teacher of Duhu, and with him on his side, even if the Hexi family wants to make trouble, I'm afraid there is no chance."

Just when Yang Han and Li Wei were talking about Hexi, they suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside, and the door curtain moved, but a scout hurriedly walked in.

"Your Excellency, Hexi Urgent!"

"What?! Show me it. ā€

Yang Han stepped forward and grabbed the urgent report, opened it and quickly browsed it, and he couldn't blame him for being in a hurry, this was the only Hexi urgent report he had received recently.

After a while, a smile appeared on Yang Han's face, and he couldn't help but shout: "Okay, Zhiyuan, well done!" ā€

Seeing this scene, Li Wei couldn't help but feel itchy, he didn't know what happened in Hexi, and he let Yang Taishou sweep away the haze.

After a long while, Yang Han gradually calmed down, and he casually handed the emergency report to Li Wei and explained: "Let Xuan Sheng see and smile!" Just because he saw that Zhiyuan successfully occupied the land of the two counties in Hexi, the old man was overjoyed. I got a little carried away for a while. ā€

"Dadu Hu took Dunhuang and Jiuquan." After reading the military report, Li Wei couldn't help but get excited.

"Yes, Zhiyuan and Lu Guang have successfully reached a compromise, and the two sides will temporarily take Zhangye as the boundary, return to Guzang in the east, and Gaochang in the west."

"In this way, the army will return to Gaochang, isn't it just around the corner?" Li Wei responded to Yang Han while browsing the military newspaper.

"Hahaha, Xuansheng can guess wrong now, Zhiyuan mentioned in the letter that the army needs to stay in Hexi temporarily to ensure the stability of Xinde County."

"He asked us to hold on to Gaochang for at least three months, at least until March of the following year, and Hexi would not send reinforcements."

"From the current point of view, it will not be a problem for Gaochang to hold on for a few more months." Li Wei is full of confidence in this.

"As soon as you say this, the old man will rest assured."
