"Whoosh." A crossbow arrow whistled in the wind, reaching straight into the chest of a soldier. The power of the short crossbow was so powerful that it pierced and wounded a soldier in the back.

"There's someone up there, there's someone up there......"

Before he could finish speaking, the crossbowmen on the ladder stood up and began to shoot hard at the city from the palm-wide opening. The height of the ladder is about a meter higher than the city wall, and the angle is so good that the soldiers on the city cannot raise their heads when they are pressed for a while.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows." Wang Sijin hid behind a shield and fell to one knee on the ground and shouted.

As soon as the archers were ready, they fell to the ground, and in desperation, they had to shrink their heads behind the battlements and draw their bows and shoot arrows indiscriminately. Mo said that most of the time he didn't hit the ladder, but he bounced back when he did. Condescending was originally an archer's advantage, but now he is suppressed, wishing he was a shield player.

In less than an hour, the city wall within the range of the ladder was already full of corpses, and there were many soldiers on both sides and under the city, but they shrank behind the wall battlements and did not dare to show their heads. With a wave of his hand, the other five siege ladders were pushed to the bottom of the city, and the sides were close to the city wall.

"Spear, go pick that thing away." Gu Xin squatted behind the wall battlement and looked carefully, and hurriedly turned around and ordered.

A long group of gunmen rushed up from the city, but the walls were strewn with corpses to hinder them. Before they could reach the city wall, the crossbow arrows on the ladder came and fell in unison. A few of them came to the edge of the city and used their spears to pick up the ladder cart, but the ladder did not move. From time to time, crossbow arrows flew over his head, so he had to give up, simply throw away the spear, lie down and pretend to be dead.

"Siege!" Leaving Mo Zhen and shouting, the soldiers under the city rushed forward with the sound of killing the sky. Within the control of the ladder, ziplines and climbing poles rushed to the city wall. The iron plates on the sides of the five ladders suddenly opened, and they smashed on the city wall with a "bang". The soldiers in the ladder rushed out, stepped on the iron plate and jumped up to the city wall. The crossbowmen were covering on the ladder behind, and the thousands of archers on the other side were pressed by more than a hundred crossbowmen.

"Kill!" The Yizhou soldiers under the city shouted in unison, and climbed up from the five ladders one after another. The west gate of Hanjun is built on the cliff, and the city wall is not very long, which was originally conducive to fortification, but now it has become a disadvantage. There were not too many soldiers on the city walls, and although Han Jun had 30,000 elite soldiers, he could not go up to the city. After a while, on the city wall, it was the Yizhou soldiers who had the upper hand.

"General, retreat, Han Jun can't hold it." Liu Wenzhu, a partial general, picked up Wang Sijin and looked at the large number of Liang soldiers who poured into the city and said.

"Alas!" Wang Sijin smashed the wall with his fist fiercely, turned around and ran down the city with Liu Wenzhu.

Gu Xin cut down a soldier, turned his head and saw the two of them abandon the city. He spat on the ground in disgust. The long sword slashed forward again. A Yizhou soldier stabbed the enemy to death with a single shot, and as soon as he turned around, Gu Xin's long sword came across his chest and hurriedly grabbed it. With a "dang" sound, the soldier took off his spear and retreated again and again, but tripped over the corpse under his feet and fell to the ground. Before he could get up, he saw Gu Xin volleying up in the air, holding a sword in both hands and slashing head-on, and the soldier had to instinctively stretch out his arm to block it. At this moment, a person jumped in outside the city wall, and a horizontal knife blocked in front of the soldier's arm, and he bumped into Gu Xin with a "bang". The two of them each took a step back, and the soldier picked up a small life.

"Limo." When Gu Xin saw the person who came up, he calmed his breath and said, "I didn't expect to meet you." ”

"Haha, Brother Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time, and my little brother misses it very much." Li Mo said with a fist on the ground.

"Hehe, I miss you very much, but now that each is his master, I can't drink with you." Gu Xin also returned the salute and said.

"We can drink as long as my brother wants." Li Mo stood still, looked at Gu Xin's long sword and said.

Gu Xin raised his long sword, smiled, and said, "Thank you, I hope so." But today, we're going to talk on the sword. ”

"Brother Gu, why bother, return to Daliang." Although he said that he was still with a horizontal knife in his chest, he knew that Gu Xin's sword was fast.

The west gate of Hanjun slowly opened, Situ Hao galloped up on horseback, and the infantry behind him followed closely into the city. The voyage was to cover his mouth with his sleeves to cover the dust, and to let the horses walk slowly, even slower than the infantry.

"My lord, why don't you hurry into the city?" Ah, Kim asked urgingly.

"Slow down and be safe, it's dangerous inside." Yuanhang replied vaguely.

Ah Kim immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.

The walls of the city gradually fell silent, and those who died in battle surrendered. There is only one place where there is still fighting.

Gu Xin's left shoulder was already red, and blood was dripping from Limo's left hand. The two of them supported the ground with weapons, squatting there panting, but they still stared at each other.

"You've won." Gu Xin stood up.

"I didn't win." Li Mo also stood up.

"If the beam wins, you win." Gu Xin laughed miserably, looked at Han Juncheng, and said to Limo: "In the next life, we will not get drunk. After saying that, he turned the sword and wiped it against his neck.

"Don't ......," Limo shouted.

"When." With a crisp sound, a steel dart struck the sword body, swinging the long sword in Gu Xin's hand.

Gu Xin looked sideways, and two young men were walking slowly over at the stairs.

"Your Excellency." Limo stepped forward to give a salute. Yuanhang looked at it with concern and asked, "How are the injuries?" ”

"It's okay, my lord, General Gu ......"

Yuanhang waved his hand and walked over, and Ah Jin followed closely.

"I have heard for a long time that General Gu is brave and good at fighting, and is known as a knife to lock the building, but unfortunately I have not seen the general immediately heroic today. I never thought that the general's swordsmanship was also exquisite. The voyage walked over and saluted with a smile.

Gu Xin looked at Yuanhang vigilantly and turned his head to look at Limo.

"This is Lord Ye, the Governor of Yizhou, and also our Lord Overseer." Li Mo said on the side.

Gu Xin looked at the young man in front of him, he was clearly a son, and he couldn't see the official appearance no matter how he looked at it. But Shi Li still said: "Don't dare, the general of the defeated army is shameless." ”

"Haha, victory and defeat are always the same, my first battle was in this Han County, and the girl who was chased by your marshal ran away." Yuanhang didn't care, and said without regard to his face.

"That's you." Gu Xin was stunned, and hurriedly gave another salute. said: "My lord retreated 100,000 chasing soldiers with 500 elite horsemen, and the last general had already heard about it and admired it. ”

Yuanhang smiled indifferently, supported him for a moment, and said: "The general also saw it, my beam is now full of grain and grass, and his weapons are sharp. It's only a matter of time before Xiaoliang recovers, the only thing missing is a talent like the general, I don't know if the general is willing to return to my Liang? ”

Gu Xin shook his head, straightened his body and said without hesitation: "Thank you, my lord, it's just a matter of food and serving people." Gu was incompetent and lost Han Jun, and he lived and died with Han Jun. ”

Li Mo hurriedly leaned over and said to Yuanhang: "If your lord can spare his life, the last general is willing to persuade him to surrender." ”

Seeing that Li Mo's eyes were full of expectation, Yuanhang grinned and nodded, stepped forward and looked down at the city, pointed and said, "General, do you know that tree?" ”

Gu Xin looked down, but it was just a row of willow forests, and there was nothing peculiar.

"In the land of willows, there is a green pine growing here. The weeping willows are smooth and soft, and the green pines are arrogant. Contrasted by weeping willows, it seems that the green pine is unreasonable, but it grows in the wrong place. Yuanhang said with a smile behind his back.

Gu Xin smiled lightly after hearing this, and said, "Xu is the strength of the green pine, or it can shake the forest." ”

"I hope so." Seeing Gu Xin's resolute attitude, Yuanhang didn't persuade him any more, and said, "Since the general has made up his mind, let's leave as soon as possible." If you wait for the marshal to come up, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out. ”

Gu Xin was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "You want to let me go?" ”

Yuanhang nodded his head and said, "The water goes from the east, and the wild goose returns to the south." If you are caught in the cage, how can you last long. ”

Gu Xin took a step forward, bowed deeply, and said, "The grace of the adult, keep it in mind." Gu took his leave. ”

"Wait." Yuanhang shouted, Gu Xin raised his eyes, afraid that Yuanhang regretted it.

"Limo, you send General Gu out of the east gate." Yuanhang turned his head and chuckled at Gu Xin, turned his head to look out of the city and stopped talking.

Seeing the two of them go down the city tower, Ah Jin came up and said: "My lord, if he doesn't descend, he should be imprisoned, why let him go back, wouldn't it be a tiger returning to the mountain." ”

Yuanhang said softly: "If you want to get your body, you must get your heart." If the mind is not there, what is the use of the body? Moreover...... It may not be easy for him to go back. ”

Chen Pai saw that the voyage only used the soldiers of Yizhou, and captured Hanjun City in more than an hour, and he felt a little more panicked in his heart. There are really two blows in the dark path, no wonder my uncle is in a hurry to get rid of this person.

Situ Hao was overjoyed, the casualties in this battle were only a few hundred, and he actually killed 3,000 enemies and captured more than 8,000 enemies. also took Han Juncheng so easily. wrote a letter and sent it back to the back hall, and praised the voyage again. After cleaning the battlefield, the army went to camp outside the city, and Situ Hao set up a celebration banquet in the city to reward the generals. During the banquet, the generals praised the Overseer, causing Chen Plaque to be silent, and the evil light was bursting, and he couldn't escape the eyes of the voyage.

Li Heyuan, the garrison of Guyu County, received a letter from Han County asking for help, and hurriedly sent five generals with 30,000 troops to reinforce him. Later, he received an order from Guzhou, leaving 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, and he personally led 20,000 troops out of the city and rushed to Hanjun.

Only a few dozen miles out of the city, Li Heyuan encountered the reinforcements who turned back, and when he saw Wang Sijin, he knew that Han County had fallen into the hands of Daliang. Hurriedly turned the horse's head and led the troops back to Guyu County.

"How did you lose the city so quickly, General Wang, how did you defend Han County?" Li Heyuan looked at Wang Sijin with an angry expression and asked repeatedly.

Wang Sijin looked embarrassed and explained: "General, that Liang has developed a siege chariot, which is a little higher than the city wall, all wrapped in iron sheets, and the sword is not damaged. There were crossbowmen in it with rapid fire, and our archers were powerless to fight back. ”

"Even if this is the case, you can't lose the city in just one day, how can Marshal Feng spare you." Li Heyuan had a very good relationship with Wang Sijin in private, and he couldn't help but worry about him.

"General, it was the general Gu Xin who secretly collaborated with the enemy, opened the city gate and let the enemy enter the city, and General Wang and I ignored the front and back, so that the city was lost." Liu Wenzhu, the partial general, stepped forward and bowed down and said, and secretly gave Wang Sijin a look with his eyes.

"Oh?" Li Heyuan was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and asked, "Where is Gu Xin now?" ”

"This ...... I'm afraid I'll die in Hanjun City. Wang Sijin saw that Liu Wenzhu put the responsibility for the loss on Gu Xin, although he was somewhat unbearable, but he expected that Gu Xin would not be able to live, so he had to acquiesce.

Li He saw that his face was ugly, and he didn't look directly at him, and when he heard that Gu Xin might die in Hanjun, he understood in his heart. If Gu Xin collaborated with the enemy, how could he lose his life? That's it, that's all there is to it. sighed and said, "That's already the case, you two go down and rest first." ”

"Thank you, General." The two withdrew from the tent, Wang Sijin wiped off the cold sweat and looked at Liu Wenzhu.

"General, now it can only be like this, if Gu Xin is not guilty, how can you and I escape military justice. Besides, Gu Xin can't escape his life, since he will definitely die, he can be regarded as loyal to you. Liu Wenzhu whispered to Wang Sijin.

"Alas!" Wang Sijin sighed and walked forward.

Li Heyuan wrote a good letter and sent someone to Guzhou to hand it over to Marshal Feng. Inform Han Jun that the loss was due to Gu Xin's collaboration with the enemy, and asked the marshal to send troops to aid Gu Yu, and he would live and die with Gu Yu City.

"Gu Xin's ability is good, but it's a pity that he doesn't understand things, and in the end, he only became a partial general, so he has to wronged you." Li Heyuan said to himself, closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.

"Report!" The soldiers outside the tent shouted.

"Come in." Li Heyuan opened his eyes, but he was still leaning back in his chair.

The soldier entered the bill and fell to the ground on his knees, clenched his fists and said, "General Gu Xin Gu, the general of Han County, is asking to see the general outside the camp. ”

"What?" Li and Yuanteng suddenly stood up from their chairs and stared at the soldiers below.
