Looking at the letter of persuasion written by Gao Yang on the case in front of him, Guo Yan's eyes were confused.

He knew that he couldn't beat it, and the difference in strength between the two sides was too big. But he was unwilling to surrender, because too many of the Western Liang army had been lost in Gao Yang's hands. Guo Yan estimated that Gao Yang's hands had been blackened by the blood of the Xiliang Army. As long as he thinks of those robes who died in battle, frozen to death and starved to death in the wind and snow, Guo Yan couldn't control the anger in his heart!

"I don't want to submit to Gaoyang." Guo Yan slowly closed his eyes and said, "If any of you want to go to Gaoyang, or are tired of fighting. It's up to you to decide, and I'm not going to stand in the way. ”

After hearing this, the generals of the Xiliang Army suddenly exchanged their heads and ears, and the sound of discussion was endless. This is a big matter related to the life of the family, so they can't be careless!

The current Xiliang army is just a group of remnants of the defeated army. However, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses were trapped in a small area near Tianshui, and they lacked military rations, armor and weapons, horses and livestock, and salt and cloth. They lack everything.

Originally, they could grit their teeth and persist in the face of Han Sui, Ma Teng and others, but in the face of the well-armed Gaoyang army, they didn't have the slightest confidence.

Guo Yan naturally knew about this situation, so he gave everyone a choice. If you want to stay and hold the most glorious Xiliang Army, everyone will die together. If you want to stay alive, you can also choose to leave.

In the end, there were more than 4,000 people who were willing to stay in Tianshui City with Guo Yan. Most of the other soldiers and horses dispersed. Some of them went to the Western Regions, some of them went to Gaoyang, and the rest all went home separately.

"Oh?" After Gao Yang received the news, a shocked expression appeared on his face. He really didn't expect that these Xiliang troops would have such a firm belief. Even in this moment, when people are completely desperate, there are still so many people who choose to die generously.

Since ancient times, Qin soldiers have endured hard fighting, and this sentence is not unreasonable.

"These are real samurai." I thought about the performance of the various princes of the Kanto region and the soldiers and horses under their command. Gao Yang shook his head slightly. When did it start that the Kanto region, which was also extremely strong, gradually degenerated?

"Huh~~~" Gao Yang, who was frowning, let out a long sigh of relief, and his gaze gradually became resolute. Look around at the many generals in the tent. "Since they have chosen to resist, let's march into the army." Respect the enemy. It's also about respecting ourselves! ”

"Whoa!" Dozens of brightly armored generals responded in unison.

It's a completely unequal battle.

Although Han Sui, Ma Teng and the others were also unwilling to take the initiative to submit to obedience, they also sent envoys to inform Guo Yan that they would come to support.

However, in the face of the lightning-like Gaoyang army marching and fighting, all these struggles were just useless.

Han Sui Ma Teng gathered all the soldiers and horses in the area of Wuwei Jincheng and drove towards Tianshui in a mighty way. The vanguard elite cavalry led by Huang Zhong had already raided thousands of miles in just a few days and came to the foot of Tianshui City.

"Don't go to death, block the city gates, and prepare to defend the city." Guo Yan stood on the wall of Tianshui, watching another fierce man of the Xiliang Army outside the city be picked off his horse by a white horse general. Said silently.

When thousands of elite horsemen under the command of the Gaoyang Army suddenly came to Tianshui City yesterday, the defenders in the city were greatly shocked. No one thought that these Gaoyang troops would come so quickly!

There are thousands of miles from Chang'an to Tianshui. And there are no roads to follow along the way, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are all wilderness.

The Xiliang army couldn't understand how this cavalry outside the city managed to gallop thousands of miles in such a short time? Aren't they worried that the war horse will be abolished?

Actually, the reason is not complicated. In addition to being well-trained, well supplied, and the morale of the sergeants was high. The biggest reason is that the cavalry under Gao Yang's command has been fully redressed, and all of them use a full set of riding tools designed with modern technology such as horseshoes, saddles, and stirrups. With logistical supply guaranteed, a surprise attack in a short period of time becomes a possibility.

The brave samurai who can choose to stay in Tianshui are basically determined to die. They value their reputation more than their lives. After dawn the next day, a brave warrior went out of the city to seek a showdown.

And there was only one young white horse general in the Gaoyang army on the opposite side, holding a steel gun, and he defeated more than ten Xiliang generals one after another with his own strength!

Although the strength of these Xiliang generals is not comparable to the generals of the Kwantung Coalition Army who were defeated by Gao Yang in front of the Tiger Prison Pass. But these people are not weak. The strength of the hundred-man enemy is still there.

However, the unknown white horse player on the opposite side is obviously a 10,000-strong enemy! In a short period of time, more than ten opponents were defeated one after another, and the whole audience was shocked!

Guo Yan's heart was already desperate. I don't know how many talented people there are under Gao Yang's command. A little-known young general is so powerful! Guo Yan didn't know what to say at the moment.

Listening to the excited cheers of the cavalry outside the city, Guo Yan slowly closed his eyes. After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, held the arrows of the city wall with both hands, and shouted loudly to the young general who was galloping back and forth outside the city, "Who are you?!" ”

The young general obviously heard Guo Yan's call, and strangled his crotch and looked at the Tianshui City Wall. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "I am Changshan Zhao Zilong!! ”

A few days later, Gao Yang personally led a large number of elite main forces to Tianshui City. This army with Gaoyang storage space to provide logistical support is also very fast.

By the time Gao Yang personally came to Tianshui City, the soldiers and horses surrounding the entire Tianshui had approached 50,000 people!

"Ready to get started." Look at the small and dilapidated city not far away. Gao Yang shook his head slightly and sighed, and commanded softly. Such a solid wall with nothing decent. The number of defenders was no more than a small city of a few thousand. How can you survive under the siege of a large army?

These brave samurai chose to burn the last light of their lives for the persistence in their hearts!

Thousands of dismounted mounted cavalry, led by the trapped camp, carried the sturdy cloud ladder that Gao Yang took out of the storage space and pounced on Tianshui City. Behind them were tens of thousands of crossbowmen armed with chain crossbows, providing fire support.

There are all kinds of large-scale siege equipment in Gaoyang's storage space. But in order not to avoid unnecessary trouble. Although already on the verge of exposure. But Gao Yang still tried his best to hide these obviously unreasonable things.

Under the baptism of arrows flying in the sky, the defenders on the low Tianshui city wall could barely raise their heads at all.

As ladders were erected on the city walls, the anxious defenders risked great danger to throw down all the equipment they had prepared to defend the city. What rolling stones, sasswood, what stones, ash bottles, all desperately thrown down.

Originally, the defenders thought that they could kill and injure a large number of siege troops no matter what. But when the heavily armoured, shield-wielding trappers climbed the walls on ladders, the defenders went crazy.

The strong Guo Yan who is trapped in the camp knows it, after all, he is known as the strongest combat power under Lu Bu. However, what he didn't expect was that he hadn't seen him for a while, and the combat effectiveness of the trapped camp that appeared on the battlefield as an opponent again was completely beyond his imagination.

The heavy double armor makes people feel dizzy when they look at it. With Guo Yan's martial arts, he personally rushed forward and struggled to use the big knife in his hand to split violently, but he couldn't break the armor! You can imagine how robust it is.

There is no way to continue such a battle. It was just a one-sided massacre.

The narrow Tianshui city wall is densely covered with manpower. The Xiliang army defending the city and the trapping camp besieging the city were entangled together. The sounds of fighting, screaming, shouting, and clashing weapons converged to form a battlefield sonata.

From time to time, many fierce Xiliang soldiers roared angrily and rushed up, and several people joined forces to fight together and hugged the soldiers who were trapped in the camp and fell down from the city wall together. This is also one of the few means of killing and wounding the defenders.

However, under the sharp attack of the trapped camp, the defenders, who were not large in number, were quickly suppressed. By the time the mounted cavalry following the trapped camp reached the top of the city, the one-sided battle would be over.

It is different from the trap faction that likes to use heavy weapons such as knives and hammers. The cavalry under Gao Yang's command has always been the favorite of all cavalrymen since the chain crossbow was equipped with sergeants.

When these cavalrymen, armed with weapons in one hand and crossbows in the other, went up to the city wall and lowered the poorly armored defenders to the ground in pieces with a rain of sharp arrows. Guo Yan knew that the battle was over.

There is no brutal offensive and defensive tug-of-war that was previously envisaged. There was no Tianshui City to attract the enemy army, and the fantasy of Han Sui Ma Teng, who had rushed over from Jincheng Wuwei, was realized in one fell swoop. Gao Yang only used one attack to completely crush Guo Yan's illusions.

When a large number of siege soldiers rushed into the city from the city wall with a shout, Guo Yan closed his eyes in pain.

Thousands of the bravest warriors of the Xiliang Army couldn't hold it even for half a day! How could this army on the other side be so powerful? You've all eaten the elixir, right?!

"Huh~~~" Guo Yan, who slowly opened his eyes, sighed, looked at the guards who were still following him at this moment, smiled bitterly, and said, "It's me who has affected you." ”

"Why did the general say that?" A majestic guard with a hideous scar on his face grinned and replied, "They are all fighting men who live by adding blood to the knife edge." Who of us hasn't had someone else's blood on our hands? It is only natural that he died here today! We will not regret being able to follow the general in this life! ”

"We don't regret it!" Dozens of guards responded in unison.

"Good!" Guo Yan raised his head slightly, not letting the tears in his eyes flow down easily. After answering heavily, he slowly raised the long knife in his hand and looked at the approaching Gaoyang army not far away. Take a deep breath and keep your eyes open. The long knife in his hand swung forward violently, shouting "Kill!" ”

"Kill!"

A tragic and decisive charge is both the beginning and the end. (To be continued) R580
