The cronies gave up their hands and went to arrange military affairs. Jiang Yeli poked out his pale face from the city tower and said loudly: "It is incumbent on the Lord to defend the land." Now that we have not fought a battle in Xihe, how can we surrender lightly! Do you dare to fight me? ”

Gu Siduo looked back at Gao Yue. Gao Yue nodded, and Gu Siduo looked back and laughed, "I'm afraid you won't dare to come out." Jiang Yeli didn't answer anymore, and after a while, the west and south city gates slowly opened, and Jiang Yeli rushed out with a big knife, and a thousand soldiers behind him should have been boosted to morale, and they were all holding sharp blades in their hands, and they came out violently.

Jiang Yeli is a step general. Not only him, but also the Di army, in the early days, most of them were infantry, and even the generals rarely rode horses. Because the land of Qiang is mountainous, its people are jumping between the mountains and forests, all of them are running fast, brave and fierce, and the war horses are simply a little redundant for these Di people who climb the mountains and walk on the flat ground.

Gao Yue has been in battle for a long time, and at a glance, he can see that these soldiers are really some fierce enemies. In fact, when Yang Wanfu was only a few hundred people, the soldiers under his command were also elite, but when they were in a nest, Yang Wanfu was afraid of the enemy and surrendered without a fight, which greatly hit the morale of the army, so Gao Yue was able to quickly succeed.

Like this time, the two sides set up a position, and came to attack openly to decide the winner, although the Longxi army is also a carefully selected warrior, but the actual combat experience is scarce, and there may be twists and turns against the enemy. But if it is defeated, the morale of Xihe City will definitely rise, and the defense of the city and the battle will be full of confidence, and the fighting spirit of their own side will be low.

In this case, the only way to do this is to speak bravely if the soldiers are not good. It is necessary to quickly defeat the enemy's commander-in-chief and deeply deter him in terms of force, so as to further damage the morale of the enemy army and shake their confidence, so as to achieve the goal of surrendering without a fight.

As the soldiers got closer and closer, He Cheng asked the archers to shoot arrows to resist the formation. The other party shouted and cursed in a chaotic manner, then stopped, and the two armies were a hundred paces apart and confronted each other.

Jiang Yeli was dumbfounded: "Why do you always shoot arrows, do you dare to shoot with a real knife and a real gun?" ”

Gao Yue stopped the generals, Gao sat down and immediately came out of the crowd, and said in a high-spirited manner: "You and other stragglers, where is the opponent of my elite soldiers in Longxi!" If it weren't for the real sword and real gun, how could your army of earth and mountains be defeated by me," he deliberately looked at Yang Wanfu, who was bound like a dumpling, and said loudly, "Even the main general was captured?" ”

"You! ……”

At the mention of Yang Wanfu, Jiang Yeli was a little frustrated. It's as if the veins are pinched in someone's hand, so naturally there are some scruples. He thought about it, and was also a little anxious, and argued: "General Yang Xiao was originally just a guest army, and he was not responsible for fighting. Besides, he has a noble status, unlike a rough man like me who can only wield knives and guns, and there are enemy generals on the other side who dare to fight me? ”

The Bone Siduo is a Huhu man who is aggressive by nature. At this time, the big knife in his hand was already hungry and thirsty. Hearing Jiang Yeli's challenge, where could he still bear it, he jumped and shouted: "Come on, grandpa will weigh you well!" ”

Jiang Yeli was furious, took two steps forward, and told the enemy general to come over quickly and be killed. But I saw that in the Longxi army, the general who had just ridden a horse came out with a bridle and walked out unhurriedly.

Jiang Yeli's eyes were full of bones at the moment. He glanced at the enemy general and shouted: "You handsome descendant, where is my opponent, just call the fat man who spoke disrespectfully just now!" Gu Siduo is not as tall as an ordinary person, but he is quite fat, so Jiang Yeli contemptuously calls him a fat man.

Jiang Yeli's vulgar words came out, and he only said that Gu Siduo would definitely rush out in anger to fight to the death with himself. But he saw a strange smile on his face, as if he had some mockery, and then looked closely, except for the young and handsome enemy general who came over, all the generals on the other side had some strange smiles.

The horseman, who was on horseback, suddenly galloped diagonally out of five feet, then turned his horse's head abruptly, leaned over and rushed rapidly. Jiang Yeli hurriedly beckoned the soldiers, swords and guns at the same time, when he was nervous, the horse had rushed to the front, the rider slammed it, the horse actually stood up, and the mane neighed, when everyone was busy looking up, the rider had fallen to the ground lightly and steadily, attracting a burst of shouts and cheers from the Longxi army.

This man is so dexterous and quick. Jiang Yeli was both shocked and suspicious. He shouted to the young adversary, "What is your name?" Insist on coming to die. ”

The enemy general didn't answer, but pulled out the sword from his waist, and pointed to the flag fluttering in the wind not far behind him.

Eagle, Yang, General, Army, High!

Jiang Yeli was shocked, and he was at a loss for a while. The name of Gao Yue, he also heard of it, it is said that in less than a year, he temporarily emerged, controlled a county in Longxi, and was a newly rapidly rising force among the Han people. It's just that he never expected that the lord of Longxi was so young, and even a little handsome, which was far from the image of a rough and thick beard in his forties that he imagined.

Seeing that Jiang Yeli was a little dumbfounded, Gao Yue sneered proudly and said, "I will give up my horse and give up my gun, and I will fight with you in a foot fight, which will definitely let you know the methods of my Han family's son, and also convince you of losing." ”

Jiang Yeli gathered his spirit, and if he didn't answer, he gritted his teeth and raised his knife to cut it. Gao Yue was not afraid, and did not hurry to meet him with a knife. The knife technique of the Qiang people pays attention to the speed and dexterity, which is different from the Central Plains or the Hu people in the northern Xinjiang, and they do not take the road of opening and closing, and being fierce and unmatched. Jiang Yeli is also a few knife masters under Yang Maosou's command, he is full of spirit, and he uses all his strength, but the knife technique is dexterous and fast as lightning, and the knife light seems to be shrouded only around him, but he is cold but cuts out a tricky and vicious knife, which is impossible to prevent.

Gao Yue was amazed in his heart. In an instant, two clouds of cold light and shadow collided in one place, but it was like a little star falling from the sky, when the two knives were handed over and collided, the sound of Qiang Qiang Jin was loud, and the fierce murderous spirit rolled up with the whistling wind and rushed straight into the sky, as if others were a little closer, they would be blown by the sharp wind, and the skin was blown open.

The soldiers on both sides were both demented, and they were all silent. Gu Siduo was awe-inspiring in his heart, thinking that if he caught and killed, even if he was strong, he was afraid that most of them would not be able to fight this ordinary-looking Di man. But seeing that he is so skilled, he is still suppressed by Gao Yue, and his master's superb martial arts skills are really amazing.

The cold wind swept away, whistling and rolling up the dead leaves, brushing the silent heavy city walls, slowly blowing people's hearts cold. Jiang Yeli learned swordsmanship since childhood, and after growing up, he was a very famous master among the Di people, Yang Maosou valued his martial arts name, and got the recommendation of his second son Yang Jiantou, so he specially appointed him as the northernmost city lord of Wudu, hoping to use his outstanding martial arts to block the footsteps of the Han people's southern invasion.

But Jiang Yeli's personality is very rigid and introverted, and he is easily anxious and irritable when he encounters trouble. Simply using knife skills to compete in martial arts, he can still have a stable mentality; If it is a fight, it is mixed with the responsibility of defending the territory, the heavy responsibility of the enemy, etc., it is a heavy burden, which makes him suffer from gains and losses, and his mood fluctuates. Strictly speaking, this is not a suitable candidate to take charge of the role.

At this moment, Jiang Ye's strength was less than forty he, and he was already a little overwhelmed, he was anxious in his heart, and he couldn't help but cry bitter. Gao Yue keenly captured the emotional changes of his opponent, so he mustered up his spirit, and the sword dance in his hand became faster and more sharp, Jiang Yeli stumbled left and right, and could no longer support it, and shouted in a hissed voice: "Give it to me!" ”

A group of soldiers woke up like a dream, and they were stunned for a moment before shouting. Arrows were also shot from under the city. Here, the Longxi Army raised its spears as early as He Cheng's invincible shout and Gu Siduo's roar of arms, and they also shouted in unison to move forward bravely.

Jiang Yeli's defeat invisibly shook the morale of the Di soldiers. On the side of the Longxi Army, the myth of Gao Yue's invincibility stimulated the blood, and everyone unconsciously substituted themselves into Gao Yue, just wanting to rush forward and defeat any opponent who dared to block it.

The two armies fought for a while under the city, and the Longxi army had a fierce momentum, so Jiang Yeli was busy collecting the army and returning to the city. After suffering a loss in the battle, he felt that it was a little difficult to support himself at the moment, and he just wanted Yang Maosou to send reinforcements as soon as possible to relieve this difficult situation. Jiang Yeli even secretly thought to himself in his heart that after the reinforcements came and drove away the extremely brave Han army, he resigned from his military post and returned to the field, and no longer paid attention to such worries.

Seeing that the Di people were retreating to the city, Gao Yue ordered the city to be surrounded on all sides and gathered heavy troops under the southern city.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Gu Siduo's armor did not go, and he couldn't help but say: "General, I see that the enemy army is very lost, why don't you go all out and capture Xihe City?" Let's take the box army, the siege ladder can be assembled in half a day, and our old bones are willing to be the first to climb the city tower and take Xihe for the general! ”

When many team owners heard this, they all geared up, gathered around, and took the initiative to ask for battle.

Gao Yue sat in the middle and looked around proudly: "The morale of the monarchs is high, and I am very happy to fight loyally and bravely. However, a soldier who surrenders without a fight is the only rule of soldiers. Sooner or later, Xihe City will be in my hands, and I will not fight it now, for two reasons. ”

"First, if Xihe City has no food but has morale, then it can last at least three months, so I have to choose to attack. Now he has no food in the city, and he is newly defeated, and he is panicked up and down, and his heart is unstable. Don't look at the towering walls, in fact this is a dangerous city. Half a month at the least, twenty days at the most, there will inevitably be changes in the city, so why should I waste my troops attacking? Let's wait and see. ”

"Second, Xihe is now a piece of meat. The wolf was reluctant to discard this piece of meat at the door of his house, and he would inevitably come back to snatch it, but he was attacked by the tiger with his head in tow, but the meat was not grabbed, but he was bitten to death by the tiger. Seeing some people fluttering their confused eyes, Gao Yue smiled and said, "Now, the next argument is the wolf, and we are the tiger." ”
