Shangdang County, the city of the eldest son.

There are thirteen counties in Shangdang County, three less than Taiyuan County, this eldest son is where it is governed, and the eldest son city is also one of the largest cities in Shangdang County, but compared with Taiyuan County to govern Jinyang, only from the perspective of city scale and city defense, it is naturally much worse.

But at this time, the shape they faced was much more severe than that of Jinyang.

In Jinyang, although Wang Cheng led an army of 10,000 to besiege the city, most of them belonged to cavalry, and the siege of the city was just for show, and there was nothing practical, at most it was to make some offensive tactics; Since yesterday, the city of the eldest son has been under constant attack by the enemy army that had just arrived yesterday and set up camp.

As if they never knew tiredness, from the dawn of dawn, they rushed towards this side like clockwork clocks, piling up ladders, turrets, and even artillery wagons, and the defenders of the city were exhausted physically and mentally under the repeated blows, and there were countless casualties, and the corpses were piled up to the waists of those people.

And it wasn't until noon that they stopped to rest for a while, and then they got up and continued, they didn't feel tired that the defenders of Eldest Son City were more tired than them.

In fact, now the only remaining 3,000 defenders in this city do feel more tired than at any time, the original eldest son city defenders have 5,000 people, but the 2,000 people died one by one in the battle in the past half a day, and the remaining 3,000 people are basically hung with colors, but at this time, unless they are seriously injured and can not go into battle, no one dares to say the end lightly, after all, the enemy's attack is too fierce, if they are small, one will be completely broken by the enemy if they are not careful, and then it will be the fate of defeat and slaughter.

The eldest son of the city guard is Zhang Chi, the younger brother of Zhang Yang, who is also a brave and resourceful general under Zhang Yang, but at this time, he is facing Gao Shun, the general under Lu Bu.

This time, Gao Shun did not bring out of the trapping camp, he knew Zhang Yang's strength very well. Trapping the camp is just overkill. It's not that he looks down on Zhang Yang, you must know that the trapping camp is carefully selected and tempered, and it is Gao Shun who follows the beginning to the end, if he has no confidence at all, then he is not Gao Shun.

Of course, another important reason why he didn't bring the trapping camp over is that most of the troops he brought this time may have to stay in Shangdang County for a certain period of time, because they must be relied on to stabilize the situation in Shangdang County.

The task he received was different from Wang Chengke, and he didn't leave immediately after the battle. Instead, the whole county of Shangdang must be occupied, but after all, Shangdang has been operated by Zhang Yang for a long time, and many of the generals in the garrison are Zhang Yang's henchmen, and they must have their own deterrent power here before they are purged, and they must also have enough deterrent power to purge them, otherwise it will easily cause a backlash from the garrison of this county.

Zhang Yang led the 20,000 horse infantry army to attack Pingzhou. Most of them are the most elite forces in the Taiyuan County Army, so that the number of garrisons left behind is not very large, but in this Shangdang County, he only transferred less than 3,000 people, but the number of troops in Shangdang County itself is not much, and the total number of troops is less than 10,000, and the reason why there are 5,000 people defending the city in this eldest son city is actually that most of them were forced by Gao Shun all the way.

And the army that Gao Shun put here to besiege the city was not 16,000 people. Now there are only five thousand people here. Of course, it was impossible to kill so many people in the attack on the city of the eldest son, but he took out the nine thousand of them and divided them into three roads, each with an army of 3,000 people, and went straight to the county town around the eldest son. Only 7,000 troops were left here to attack the city, and nearly 2,000 people were killed in half a day, which was half a pound and eight taels in the city.

However, the reason why there is such a big damage, one of the most important reasons is that from the beginning of the siege war, Gao Shun only let those black mountain thieves surrender to the battle, the armor on their bodies is the worst, they have just been reorganized and have not been systematically trained, so their resistance is extremely fragile in the face of various defensive counterattacks in the city, although they can still threaten the city with a brave spirit, but it is only a threat.

Gao Shun originally brought 5,000 such surrendered troops, but at this time there were only 3,000 left, which means that the 2,000 people who died were basically from this surrendered army.

Compared with the more than 1,000 soldiers in the city of Heping Zhou who have no momentum and training potential, most of these people belong to thorns, the so-called thorns are not serious and hard-working, and they do not obey military orders when fighting, and even sometimes deliberately give you the opposite, but they are not like this after surrendering, it is understood that they are also like this when they are among the Montenegrin thieves, but the Montenegrin thieves themselves are relatively loose, and there is no so-called military regulations to deal with such people, but the state army is not a Montenegrin thief, and Gao Shun is not that Zhang Yan.

What's more, the reason why Lu Bu transferred them to his own side was that Gao Shun was very clear about his purpose, and now he was just obeying orders.

"General Gao, if you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid they will all die here......" This person who is advising Gao Shun is a commander among the 20,000 people who surrendered to the Black Mountain Thief, and he has 5,000 people under his command, but now his authority has been deprived, but Gao Shun saw that he was very capable, and this time he specially brought him over, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to help Lu Bu subdue him, after all, Lu Bu is now short of people under his hands, and their henchmen are clear, And at this moment, he also saw that those former subordinates were now being sent to the front like cannon fodder like this, although the sacrifice of each of them was valuable, because the number of casualties in them was about the same as that in the city, almost the result of one for one, but he still couldn't bear it, so he would speak.

But Gao Shun didn't seem to hear his bitter plea at all, and always kept his expressionless face, and finally waited until he felt tired and stopped when he said that his mouth was dry and he felt tired, and he finally spoke, but he only lightly spit out two words: "Attack." ”

Attack, or attack!

Under this immutable order, under the psychological pressure caused by the cold blades of the cavalry in the rear and state, these black mountain thieves who were screened out had no choice but to grit their teeth and stare at the huge pressure from the top of their heads in front of them, forward, forward, and forward.

They still can't forget what Gao Shun first told them:

Once the one retreats, kill!

Those who stand still, kill!

If you don't break the city, kill!

……

If some people thought that Gao Shun was joking at the beginning, now it is naturally the most important thing to siege the city, and they are needed for the siege, so how can they kill them? But when Gao Shun proved with his actions one by one that what he said was definitely not a fart, and he forgot what he said, they were finally afraid, and they were completely scared by Gao Shun's methods.

But it is obviously impossible to make them resist, even if they are thorns, in fact, they rarely bring "thorns" to the battlefield, their power is only aimed at their own people, and it is precisely because of this that they will be coldly eliminated by Lu Bu, because he doesn't need such people at all, they only have two roles left, one is to be used as cannon fodder at this time, and the other is to use it as a negative typical role when they go back to the remaining 15,000 Black Mountain thieves who intend to be trained as infantry camps in the state army. This is really the most tragic life, and when you die, you have to be watched with colored glasses.

At this time, they can only fight for their own lives, one life after another in various ways, Gao Shun's eyes looked at this qiē without the slightest fluctuation, at this moment he seems to be the most cold-blooded animal, but his heart is not completely calm, he also has feelings in his heart.

I don't know if Wen Hou has really changed, but he is the happiest to be able to leave Dong Zhuo Gaoshun.

Perhaps Zhang Yang should also be thanked, because this battle with him may not only lay the foundation of the situation in Bingzhou, but also help Wen Hou finally be able to digest the 20,000 Montenegrin army, after this battle, they can finally truly integrate into the Bingzhou army, and gradually wash away the imprint of the Black Mountain thief on their bodies, and become only Lu Bu's people.

In fact, although he is loyal to Lu Bu, Gao Shun did not blindly and completely obey Lu Bu's words at some special times.

It seems that now, Gao Shun has already thought in his heart, he wants to keep the part of the five thousand Black Mountain thieves who can still stay after this battle, in order to help Lu Bu leave the fire.

After all, most of the Bingzhou army is cavalry, whether it is attacking or defending the city, it is not what they are good at, and it is a bit overkill, so when the time comes, the part that will stay and guard here can only be one or two thousand cavalry as a deterrent, and the defense of the city still depends on the team that is recruited on the spot or simply surrendered, but it is doubtful that these Black Mountain thieves surrender their troops, but they are okay here, but they always have to leave here, so they must be before they leave, Completely erase the edges and corners of these black mountain thieves, let them understand who can control their life and death, who they can only obey their orders, and now this battlefield is a good opportunity.

After such a few rounds of tragic charges, although they consumed a lot of the enemy defenders, they also lost a lot, and for these Montenegrin thieves, each of them is now fighting for themselves not to become the next dead, although the end of death may have been determined, but it is good for them to live one more moment and breathe the air of this world one more time, and their combat effectiveness is even more explosive in this situation, At a certain moment, a wave of offensive upsurge began, not only more and more people crowded onto the tower, but also the rise of their killing, their eyes were bloodthirsty and red, and their bodies seemed to have inexhaustible strength, and they actually killed the defenders of the city head and retreated.

Gao Shun's eyes lit up, he knew that now was the opportunity, this group of surrendered soldiers had obviously transformed, which achieved his first purpose, and he wanted to complete the second purpose, that is, to break through this city, and now it was not enough to rely on the surrendered troops at the end of the strong crossbow, so he immediately ordered: "The whole army is pressing, and a certain will take the eldest son city in one fell swoop!"
