Because it was winter, even when it was sun, it was still dark, and there was no light to be seen.

Looking at the dark sky, Gao Yingxiang felt irritable in his heart.

After attacking for half a night, the result was nothing, that is, Gao Yingxiang sent his own foot soldiers, in addition to increasing some casualties, the biggest result was to burn the city oar, and three cannons at the head of the city were blown up. And Gao Yingxiang's own casualties have exceeded 1,000, and the casualties of the rest of the families combined are about this number.

It would be nice if the Eight Kings were here, and his subordinates were the best at besieging cities.

At this time, Gao Yingxiang couldn't help but think a little lost.

Among the Liukou tribes, Gao Yingxiang's department is the most well-equipped, they are better equipped than most officers and soldiers, there are 30,000 iron armor, and even tens of thousands of horses and mules, his elite can guarantee one person and two horses!

Therefore, some people in later generations even called his troops "Shanzhai Guanning Iron Cavalry".

It's just that they don't have the courage of the Guan Ning army to dare to fight a tough battle, after all, they are rogues, no matter how well-equipped, the first thing that comes to mind if something is wrong is to escape. Therefore, it is okay for them to bully the local miscellaneous officers and soldiers, and they have to rely on the huge superiority in numbers, but when they face the slightly more elite officers and soldiers, the only choice is to flee.

This time, Gao Yingxiang finally mustered up the courage to prepare for a decisive battle with the most elite Guan Ning soldiers and Tianxiong troops in the official army. If he wins, his troops will be reborn and will have the ability to fight tough battles from now on, and if they are defeated...... If you lose, there is nothing to talk about.

In order to maximize his chances of victory, he must capture Chu'zhou City.

"King Chuang, let the brothers rest and take a breath, we are going to have breakfast soon, if you don't stop......"

"Burying the pot to make rice is burying the pot to make rice, if you want to rest, take turns to rest, and the siege can't stop!" Gao Yingxiang pointed to Chu'zhou City, and said sharply: "You must know that we are more than 100,000 people taking turns to attack the city, and there are only 20,000 or 30,000 people in the city to defend it, and it should be the officers and soldiers in the city who can't hold it first, not us!" ”

Everyone was silent, Gao Yingxiang has always been silent and serious, joy and anger are not visible in color, even if he suffers a defeat, he will not have any worries on his face, and he will not be too happy when he wins a big victory. As he was now, he was visibly furious, and it was the first time he had seen these thieves who had worked with him for many years.

"A third of each man may be withdrawn to rest, and a third may be rotated after two hours." Gao Yingxiang said coldly: "If you don't want to do it, then let's break up, and we don't care if you live or die, and go away by yourself!" ”

Why did the thieves gather, it was nothing more than the pressure of Lu Xiangsheng, only Gao Yingxiang was the strongest, and he might be able to fight against it, at least until now, although Gao Yingxiang has been defeated repeatedly, the main force in his hands has not been damaged. If he really picks on and doesn't do it, the thieves ask themselves, and no one can stop Lu Xiangsheng.

"Then he acted according to the order of the king, and I waited...... Let's quit first. ”

Luo Rucai glanced at everyone, and everyone urged their horses to leave, and vaguely, Gao Yingxiang heard them talking about their anger.

Gao Yingxiang also knew that he had lost his temper, but since the reincarnation king was killed, a shadow hung over his head, and he seemed to feel that his original fate had changed because of the fact that he was killed.

It's not for the better, it's for the better, it's for the endless gloom.

He sighed and looked at Chu'zhou City again, the only one who could reverse this situation was Chu'zhou City.

By the third quarter of the hour, the people who had taken turns to rest had begun to fall asleep around the fire, and the besiegers were still fighting, although they were exhausted from the city and the city, but both sides knew that this was the last breath of fighting.

Fang Kongzhi's voice was completely hoarse, this night he personally braved the arrows and stones to supervise the battle on the city wall, and several times he drew his sword to go into battle in person, if it wasn't for the good armor sent by Yu Guozhen, he would have been injured.

If the thieves attacked for three days in a row like this, no, even if they only attacked two cities, Chu'zhou might not be able to defend it.

It's a big gamble...... The thief Gao Yingxiang is afraid that he even has his own net worth and surname on the line.

At this moment, Fang Kongzhi heard an exclamation.

Not only him, but also the people at the head of the city looked north and exclaimed. In the north, under the heavy canopy of the dawn, a fiery dragon was winding and stretching.

Even if they have shrunk the scope under the pressure of Yu Guozhen, more than 100,000 people have to eat and drink, and hundreds of thousands of livestock have to eat and drink, and tens of thousands of livestock need fodder and drink, so they are still in camp for several miles.

Because Yu Guozhen's guards had been wandering in the southeast direction, Gao Yingxiang was quite heavily guarded in the southeast direction, and almost all of his reserves were placed in this direction. Comparatively speaking, the defense of the north is weaker.

The fire dragon started from the relatively weak place of Gao Yingxiang's guard, and then there was a faint sound of horses' hooves and a cry.

"Something happened in the thief's camp!" Fang Kongzhi exclaimed with joy.

"It's Yu Youhu here!" I don't know who shouted in the darkness.

"Yu Youhu is here, Yu Youhu is here!"

One man took the lead, and the whole city shouted, first in disarray, and then in uniformity. All of a sudden, the city was full of the sound of "Yu Youhu" coming!

Fang Kongzhi heard this shout, and his heart moved violently, his prestige had reached such a point, for Yu Guozhen, who was still very young and white, was this a blessing or a curse?

This shout also reached the intruding army, Gao Yingxiang just closed his eyes and recuperated, first startled by the movement in the north, and then heard the shouts from the city, he was immediately furious.

It turned out that Yu Guozhen, who was wandering in the southeast, turned out to be just a bluff, and he attacked from the north!

This guy is too cunning, and he deceives people too much, he chose this time, it was the moment when he was close to exhaustion, and he obviously wanted to pick up cheap!

"Liu Zhe, Huang Long!"

Gao Yingxiang roared angrily, like an angry lion, he rarely roared like this. At the sound of his roar, his two henchmen came to him in unison.

"I will allocate 10,000 horses to you to chase Yu Guozhen to the death, and this time I will definitely bring his head to see me!"

The cavalry didn't play much of a role in the siege, Gao Yingxiang originally let the ten thousand cavalry wander around, dealing with Yu Guozhen at any time, but now that he knew that Yu Guozhen was in the north, he felt that it was time to shoot this disgusting fly to death.

Liu Zhe and Huang Long were ordered to go north, and they carried torches to meet the approaching fire dragon. Because there was fire everywhere, and the night outside Chu'zhou City was also illuminated as day, so they moved forward very quickly. It was only half an hour before they saw their defeated accomplices in front of them.

It was a great rout, and at least tens of thousands of people were driven and swarmed back. Liu Zhe and Huang Long had followed Gao Yingxiang to fight for many years, and naturally knew that if they were broken up by these routs, the result would be a tragedy. So they formed themselves in the roadside fields on one side, and on the other side sent out their rangers to drive the thieves who tried to flee among them.

Rao is so, still in a mess. After a while, someone came to the two of them scoldingly.

"You are the ones who invade the king, so you can kill my people indiscriminately? Our Lao Tzu is the old camp of Ge Liyan, and he retreated because he couldn't hold on, you don't protect our Lao Tzu, and you ......."

"Ka!"

Huang Long swept his knife and cut off his head to the ground, and Liu Zhe next to him looked at him in surprise.

"When did you dare to do this!" Huang Long glared angrily at the group of soldiers behind the man: "Obediently obey the order, give Lao Tzu to retreat to both sides, and rush into the military formation, this is the end!" ”

The group of thieves was about to disperse, and Huang Long called another person: "Where is Yu Guozhen, have you seen his people, how many of them are there?" ”

"I don't know anything!" The man snorted and slapped his horse away.

Huang Long knew that he was holding a grudge, but he couldn't care so much at this time. After tens of thousands of defeated troops dispersed in front of them, they heard the thunderous sound of horses' hooves closer, and Huang Long's brows furrowed: "Yu Guozhen originally only had two hundred horsemen, but the previous said that there were suddenly a thousand horsemen, and now when he listens to the voice, it seems that there are more than a thousand horsemen......

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw black lines rolling in the distance like a herd of beasts. The enemy army was like a tide, surging in his direction, he didn't care to think about it, raised his hand and ordered: "Brothers, go on, kill Yu Guozhen, drink wine and eat meat and play with girls!" ”

For the Rogues, this is the only way to boost morale.

Fortunately, there is a vast field in the north of Chuzhou, otherwise it would not be able to prevent so many horses from galloping together. The two sides ran closer and closer, and at this time the sky finally showed a glimmer of light, and when they were only twenty zhang apart, Huang Long noticed a strange movement of the other party.

Hands!

This action is not unfamiliar to Huanglong, it is the action of the cavalry on the horse when he wants to release the three-eyed gun!

In an instant, Huang Long realized that they might have made a mistake, but at this time, the two sides were only a few breaths apart, how could he have time to pay attention to this!

"The donkey said his grandmother's ...... It's Guan Ning barbarian! As he shouted hoarsely, a roar began to erupt from the other side.

The reason why the Guanning Iron Cavalry can have the strongest combat power of the Ming officers and soldiers at this time has a lot to do with their equipment, one of which is very important, in order to confront the Tartars who are good at riding and shooting, they use the three-eyed gun extensively!

A line of lightning-fast fires lit up on the opposing cavalry line, then the second row, then the third row. With the light flashing, the Liukou side seemed to be swept by a scythe, and a row fell in an instant.

"Don't fight, don't fight, we're willing to give 20,000 taels of silver, just to let us retreat!"

Liu Zhe shouted in the rear, this is another trick they are used to, when the officers and soldiers are strong, they shout loudly, discuss with the officers and soldiers, and leave to buy road wealth before leaving.

Then he remembered that when he first met the Guanning army in Henan, their set would not work.

The reason is very simple, the Guanning Iron Cavalry from the Northeast can't understand their Shaanxi dialect. Moreover, there are many rogues and few officers and soldiers, and Zu Kuan is not ready to talk about anything at all.

The two sides are mixed together, and it is difficult to separate from each other. Zu Kuan cursed, he didn't expect Liukou's reaction to be so fast, and what he didn't expect was that Liukou, who had always been chased by him and didn't dare to turn back, would dare to come to fight!

He originally wanted to come to pick up the bargain, but he didn't expect to encounter a tough battle!

He didn't know that at this moment, about ten miles away in the south of Chu'zhou City, Yu Guozhen looked back at his subordinates.

"Let's go!" Yu Guozhen ordered.
