Chapter 20: The Unexpected

At noon, the sun was very warm sprinkled on the open space under Changle City, and nearly 9,000 people stood crowded in this small area of four or five hundred square meters, and flags fluttered on the opposite sides of the two sides.

Gao Huan was dressed in armor, holding a spear, carrying an ancestral sword at his waist, and standing in front of the formation on horseback. I saw that at the opening of the flag gate on the opposite side, Nangong Bo led four generals out of the ranks.

Nangong Bo immediately pointed at Gao Huan and said sharply: "Wu Na thieves, who dares to step forward to fight with the old man?" After saying that, I went out of the battle, and I wanted to fight it alone.

"Heads-up? The beauty you want. Gao Huan sneered in his heart, and turned to Li Erhu: "Li Erhu, order the left army to advance and start attacking!" ”

The infantry in the front of the left flank began to move slowly, and the archers behind had already fired arrows at Nangong Bo's army, Nangong Bo wanted to behead the enemy general and hit Gao Huan's morale, but he didn't expect this He Liuhun to play cards according to common sense, and actually beat the drum and marched into the group to fight! Nangong Bo had no choice but to turn his horse back, retreat into the formation, and command the deployment of resistance.

"Right flank attack!" Gao Huan ordered again. The troops on the right flank slowly began to attack the officers and men on the opposite side amid the noise of drumming.

As soon as the two touched, the city shouted and killed in an instant, and Xun Daozhi, who was watching the battle on the city tower, did not dare to order someone to release arrows, and the troops were already fighting in one place, afraid of hurting their own people. Xun Daozhi ordered in a loud voice: "Hold the city gate, and the others will be ready to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on the city." It seems that the officers and soldiers are very clear about Gao Huan's tactics these times, and they are the first to prepare.

Gao Huan watched the melee of the army under the city, and saw that the people on the right wing began to be suppressed by the heavy infantry of the officers and soldiers, and they were retreating step by step, seeing that they were about to collapse. "Li Erhu!" Gao Huan shouted loudly.

"The last general!" Li Erhu hurriedly ran back from the front of the formation.

"You personally go to the right flank to lead the team to break through the enemy's defensive position, you can't take it, come to see me." It's to put a little pressure on his subordinates, thinking about winning by opportunism every day, and everyone is unwilling to fight desperately in front of the battle. Gao Huan thought to himself.

Li Erhu was stunned for a moment after listening to the order, and then replied loudly: "The last general will obey the order!" If you don't take the right flank of the enemy, I apologize before I kill myself! He turned around and waved the sword in his hand to his subordinate soldiers and shouted, "Come with me, kill the fuck!" ”

I saw Li Erhu holding a big knife and leading more than a dozen personal soldiers to enter the battle on foot like a tiger descending the mountain, and under his desperate impact, the right flank gradually stabilized its position, and began to gradually force back the officers and soldiers who rushed up.

"Look, general, our left-wing troops are almost suppressing the opposite side." A junior colonel shouted.

Sure enough, the left wing troops are Gao Huan's own personal guards as the main force, and their combat effectiveness is much higher than that of ordinary troops, Gao Huan looked back at Nangong Bo in the opposite formation, and shouted loudly: "The Chinese army obeys the order, attack with me, annihilate the enemy, and enter the city to divide the gold and silver." "Anyway, I grabbed the horse and rushed to Nangong Bo to kill.

The entry of the Chinese army into the battle quickly made the entire battlefield more chaotic and the fighting more intense. Under the leadership of Gao Huan and Li Erhu, the Qi army was like an outlaw who was not afraid of death, turning the people killed by the opposite official army on their backs.

Gao Huan won the fierce battle under the city, but his own army also suffered heavy losses, and he could not take advantage of the victory to attack the city, so he could only retreat ten miles and set up camp.

"Ouch, it hurts me." The barracks were filled with the wails of wounded soldiers. Gao Huan and Li Erhu, who had a color hanging on his arm, were inspecting the battalions.

"Big brother, although our army won this time, but the victory was quite miserable, our army suffered more than 2,000 casualties alone, although almost all of Nangong Lao Pifu's 5,000 men and horses, but there are still more than 10,000 officers and troops in the city, it is almost impossible for us to attack the city, how can this be good?" Li Erhu worriedly reported the post-war situation to Gao Huan.

"Although our army won a crushing victory in this battle, it has achieved the goal of weakening the enemy's morale, although there are still many enemy troops in the city, I forgive them for not daring to take the initiative to attack us out of the city. The most important thing now is to transfer Guan Er of Fuliu City and re-besiege Changle. "Gao Huan can't think of a good way to break the enemy at the moment, so he can only surround the city first and then make plans.

"Guan Er is transferred, then Fuliu City will be empty, in case Xun Daozhi sends someone to sneak attack our back and cut off our back road, then our army will be attacked by the enemy." Li Erhu did not forget to remind Gao Huan.

"If we don't arrange it like this, it is completely impossible for us to continue with Xun Daozhi at present, and we can only make dangerous moves by breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat." Gao Huan sighed helplessly. It is said that people's momentum has ups and downs, and the mirror of wisdom naturally has times when it is covered with dust. No one has a God shroud all the time, and it is only a good wish to see who destroys.

After resting for two days, Guan Er came to join Gao Huan with nearly 2,000 troops, and Fuliu City is now not guarded by garrisons, and it is already a completely empty city. A dangerous big hole appeared behind Gao Huan.

Just when Gao Huan and the others were discussing the siege method in the military tent, a scout captain came in to report: "Report to the general, Nangong Bo led the army to make a detour from behind Changle to Fuliu City." ”

"Oh? How many people did they go? Gao Huan dropped the pen in his hand and asked excitedly. The crowd also stopped talking and listened to the scout's report.

"General Hui, about five or six thousand people." Five or six thousand is equal to half of the defenders in the city, Gao Huan suddenly said to Li Erhu with a smile: "The situation is difficult to break, the situation is difficult to break, I didn't expect this Nangong Bo to give us a chance by himself, and really took someone to copy my back road." ”

Everyone can't figure out why someone copied the back road to beat chrysanthemums, Gao Huan is still so happy, is it because he has lost his heart and has a crazy attack?

"Big brother, little brother doesn't quite understand what you mean." Li Erhu still looked at Gao Huan with a confused expression.

"That's right if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense yet, you hurry down and gather men and horses to prepare for the siege." Then he turned back to Guan Er and said, "You come to the inner room, I have something to tell you to do." ”

Gao Huan and others took advantage of the dark moon and high wind that night, and secretly led the large army to Changle City, Gao Huan waved his hand, Guan Er and a few personal soldiers wore night clothes and climbed the city wall along the wall. Next, it depends on whether Guan Er can kill the guards, open the city gate, and let Gao Huan enter.

After waiting for two teas, I saw that the torches at the castle tower lit up and lit up again. Gao Huan hurriedly asked Li Erhu to prepare for the vanguard attack.

The drawbridge was lowered, and then the gates were opened. Li Erhu and his people had already rushed into the city, and Gao Huan raised his arms at this time and shouted: "Brothers, tonight is a good time for us to make a contribution, follow me into the city to divide the gold and silver, kill!" Gao Huan himself also rushed into the city first.

Xun Daozhi, a nerd, never thought that Gao Huan would be so bold to temporarily exchange Fuliu City for Changle City, when Gao Huan's rebel army rushed into the city, he was still alive in bed with his aunt's wife, and now he was tied up under the hall and waited for Gao Huan's interrogation. Who knew that Gao Huan did not interrogate him that night, but just locked him in prison.

Nangong Bo couldn't come back to his senses for a long time when he learned the news of the fall of Changle in Fuliu City, this He Liuhun was not only treacherous and cunning, but also did things vigorously and resolutely, and his ability to seize opportunities was too strong. Because he couldn't rescue Changle, Nangong Bo led his troops to garrison Fuliucheng and waited for the rescue of officers and soldiers.

Now Gao Huan is starting to be a little worried, because Changle and Anping's base camp have lost contact, they don't know Anping's situation, and they have also lost the support of grain and grass in the rear.

On the third day of taking Changle, Gao Huan was about to interrogate Xun Daozhi, when he suddenly heard a report from Guan Er: "General, we are besieged." ”

Gao Huan was shocked: "No, who dares to bring people to surround my city?" Take me to see it. ”

On the city tower, Li Erhu and the others were already waiting here, Gao Huan was wearing civilian clothes, and the shoes on his feet had not had time to change, and he was still wearing the soft boots in the bedroom.

I saw that Cheng downstairs was surrounded by people, several generals rode horses and stood in the array, the left side of the two banners is written to serve the imperial history of the northbound Taicheng Sun Teng, and the right banner is written to supervise the Jizhou assassin Sima Ziru. Gao Huan was stunned for a moment, and then he was happy: The sky will not destroy me, hahaha.

At this time, Sima Ziru and Sun Teng, who were leading troops to besiege the city below, did not know that on the tower of the city was their former famous town general Gao Huan, who was in Huaishuo, and they were just ordered by the general Er Zhurong to come to Changle to support Xun Daozhi and exterminate Ge Rong's troops.

When Gao Huan rode out of the city and stood in front of Sun Teng and Sima Ziru, both of them were stunned, and asked with a look at each other, "How can he be the demon king of the mixed world?" ”

"Brother Gao Xian, it has been more than a year since you and I parted with Shuo, but I don't know how Brother Xian joined Ge Rong's command and rebelled against the court?" Sima Ziru asked Gao Huan.

"Hehe, two brothers, who said no, I don't want to meet the two brothers here today, what's the matter, this is to surround Changle and beat me?" Gao Huan looked at Sun Teng and the two with a smile on his face.

These two people had an intersection with Gao Huan when they were in Huaishuo last year, and in Gao Huan's opinion, these two people are just old masters with a vain name, and they are useless with Xun Daozhi all the way. If someone else came to encircle and suppress him Gao Huan, he would be a little worried, but now it is these two old friends, Gao Huan only said in his heart that the officials and soldiers had sent money and food to him.

Sun Teng and Sima Ziru glanced at each other, and Sun Teng said softly: "Brother Ziru, you and I both know how good this He Liuhun was in Huaishuo at the beginning, and now after joining Ge Rong's rebels, he actually captured Anping and took Changle, if we really fight with him, I am afraid that we will lose more and win less, how can this be good?" ”

"Who says it's not, this demon king of the mixed world is now full-fledged, and our little people probably can't help him, so it's really not okay to sell his personal favor first today, and then retire. Wait until tomorrow I will send someone back to Yecheng to fight with the general for a powerful person, and then come to fight with him? Sima Ziru shook his head and said.

"Although Brother Ziru's plan is good, it will delay the time, I am afraid that if He Liuhun refuses to have time with us, he will send someone to attack us. In my opinion, it is better to remember the acquaintance of the day, and the two of us will try to match him to rebel against Ge Rong and serve the general. Even if it doesn't work, we can temporarily withdraw from the army, save our lives, and forgive him Gao Huan will not do anything treacherous. "It's still Sun Teng's idea. At that moment, the two of them agreed to talk to Gao Huan, but they didn't want Gao Huan to speak first.

"Two elder brothers, what did you mutter before the battle, could it be that you were going to sell my brother behind my back as soon as we met?" Gao Huan looked at the two of them with a teasing expression.

"Brother Xian laughed? I haven't seen it for a long time, and it's too late to make love, how can I betray my virtuous brother. This Sun Teng replied with a straight face.

"That being the case, do those two brothers dare to go into the city with me alone, and I have been prepared in the city with a thin wine to talk about the old days with my brother." Gao Huan changed his words and went straight to Huanglong to start testing the two.

"...... this?" Sima Ziru was still hesitating, and only listened to Sun Teng say: "Since the virtuous brother is so affectionate and friendly, the two of us will go into the city to have a good drink with the virtuous brother, presumably the virtuous brother will not joke with the head of the old brother, right?" ”

"Hmph, I'm not the kind of villain who is indiscriminate, even if he wants to fight, he will take his brother's head on the battlefield!" After that, he turned around and made a gesture of please, and said loudly: "Two brothers, please~!" ”

Sun Teng's face was worried, but Sima Zi rode a horse with two entourages like a leisurely stroll, and followed Gao Huan into the city leisurely.
