Chapter 508: Capture the City in the Night
There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists!
"Looking at the Hebei generals of the imperial court, those who make good use of soldiers are only Li Jing, Xue Shixiong, Luo Yi, and Xue Dingguoer. Today, Li Jing died in battle, and the Xue Shixiong brothers and Luo Yi surrendered to Chen Pojun one after another. Chen Pojun's famous generals in the world, De Luo Yi and the Xue brothers, are even more powerful. Now Luo Yi is going south, and he is unstoppable; Please lead the troops to avoid it, so that they can't fight, prolong the years, and wait for their soldiers to get tired and take the opportunity to raid, which can be a great achievement. Today, I am afraid that the public will not be able to defeat him! ”
Avoiding the enemy's edge, luring the enemy deeper, waiting for work, and waiting for an opportunity to break the enemy, this is the strategy in Dou Jiande's heart to deal with Chen Pojun. In exchange for space, he took the initiative to abandon most of the territory near Zhuojun and retreated to the north bank of the Yellow River. Behind them, there is the bean hill of Plains County. Further south, there are hundreds of miles of Daze in Bohai County. As long as they gain some time, it is not impossible for the rebel army to integrate and reorganize the rebel armies in the counties of Hejian, Pingyuan, and Bohai and seek greater development.
However, Gao Shida rejected this very reasonable offer, and he pushed away the charming woman in his arms, put on the armor that he had not put on for several years, and put on the broadsword that he had never left in his hand.
In mid-October, Luo Yi led his headquarters of 20,000 horses to reach 30 miles away from Hejian County. Without waiting for Luo Yi's soldiers and horses to go down to the village, Gao Shida, together with Liu Badao and Gao Kaidao, two generals, personally led 50,000 people to fight in the city.
The two sides fought a great battle on the plain thirty miles away from the county town of Hejian, and the battle lasted for nearly a day.
Not only was Luo Yijun not as brave as the legend, but under the fierce impact of Gao Shida, Liu Badao, and Gao Kaidao, he fought and retreated, and within one day, he was defeated and retreated for forty miles.
On the second day, Luo Yi was at the foot of the mountain, with deep ditches and strong walls, hanging a free battle card, and refused to fight.
Golstar won the battle. Extremely happy in his heart, after three days of unsuccessful challenge, he led the army back to Hejian County. That night, Gao Shida rewarded the whole army and rejoiced with the people. All the people in the army were given wine and meat, and in the middle of the night, the army was drunk.
Gao Shida was even more flattered by his subordinate generals, and his eyes narrowed into a line. The toast of his subordinates was even more refusal, and it was midnight. Far from getting drunk, Gao Shida was excited. Standing in the Donghai Mansion, he summoned the three daughters into the mansion in a row, and with the excitement of drinking, he actually picked the three daughters without getting tired.
A full moon shone in the sky, and the cold moonlight sprinkled all over the plains and cities.
In the past four watches, the noisy sound in the city of Hejian County finally gradually subsided, but in the cold night. From time to time, there was still the low moaning of a woman, and the barking of the occasional barking dog fighting over bones.
The rebels on duty in Hejian County listened to the voices in the city with some jealousy, and they all sighed gloomily that they had been sent to guard the city on such a good night. The two volunteers under the south city gate held spears in their arms, squatting under the wall and secretly drinking a bag of fine wine, while drinking, and looking up from time to time to peek around, for fear of being found by the leaders of the patrol and punished.
"Wang. Woof. Woof! ”
Another dog barked again, and the thin-faced man with a hot face who drank a few big sips of wine said, "Brother Niu, you see that when you are not on duty, do we find a chance to touch this wild dog, at this time, stew a pot of dog meat and drink a few taels of wine, that is really a race against the living immortals." ”
The stout man who called the big cow laughed a few times. was also hooked up by the dog meat. Of course, he also knew that the dog was not an ordinary thing, and he heard that the leaders were outside, and he didn't worry about the family in the city to raise the family. However, he also heard that most of Dou Si's troops and his subordinates' families had already gone to Pingyuan County, and maybe there was a chance to get a dog to eat.
Just when both of them were slightly drunk and imagined the cauldron of dog meat, they didn't find it at the city gate not far from them. I don't know when a lot of people in black poured out. The three small teams, the five small men, did not know when they touched it, and at this time they had already come from the cover of those shops and houses in front of the city gate, and they had reached dozens of steps away from the city gate.
An icy chill suddenly came from his neck. The big bull opened his slightly drunken eyes and looked back, but he only saw the shining eyes and the glittering dagger in the dark night. A chill on the neck. A stream of blood spurted out, and the gatekeeper was dead before he could make a movement. …,
The man in black moved quickly and lightly, and in three or two strokes, he had already put down a small group of guards under the south gate.
A man in black gently put down the corpse in his hand, pulled his throat, and suddenly let out a "Wangwang" dog barking sound. As soon as the sound fell, a corresponding dog barking was heard in the street not far away. The next moment, hundreds of black-clothed people came galloping with horizontal knives.
The two men in black each took out a gourd from their waists and quickly poured vegetable oil on the two side of the city gate.
"Squeak!"
The south gate, which had been tightly closed, began to open slowly with only a slight laugh.
"Zhao Si, what's the sound below, go take a look!" A disgruntled voice sounded from the tower of the city gate, followed by the sound of footsteps, accompanied by a man's swearing.
The man had just walked to the city gate, but found that there were hundreds of people gathered in the city gate, and he rubbed his eyes in surprise, but suddenly a person suddenly burst out and strangled his neck. A dagger slashed through him and pierced his heart with a cold light.
The city gate had been opened for nearly half of the time, and several black-clothed men flashed out, quickly climbed onto the drawbridge chains on both sides like monkeys, took off the big axes on their backs, and slashed down fiercely.
"Ding!
The sound of gold and iron intersecting with iron axes cutting iron chains was heard for a long time. In an instant, more than ten heads on the city gate tower poked down together. Seeing that the black-clothed man in the city had been exposed, he did not panic, and took the crossbow machine in his hand and deducted the plate machine.
A series of screams rang out, coming from far away in the silent early morning.
The defenders on the city tower had already reacted, pulling the rope and frantically sounding the alarm bell, "Bell bell!" The shrill voice sounded rapidly, and the lights were lit up all over the city, and the shouting and curse continued.
Dozens of axes went down in a row, and the thick iron chain was finally broken, and with a snap, the drawbridge fell from the sky and was laid in front of the moat.
"Bang!" A green firework soars into the sky, creating a beautiful moment in the faintly lit night sky.
The earth shook slightly, and the rebels on the city wall were shocked to find that in the morning light of the night, in the shadowy distance, there seemed to be countless knights galloping on war horses.
The rebels at the head of the city reacted and rushed towards the city gate with big swords and spears.
It's a pity that the black-clothed people at the city gate have already prepared, and under the cover of several large shields, the black-clothed people in the back are divided into ten rows, the front ones are squatting, and the back ones are standing. Everyone had a repeating crossbow in their hands, and when they saw them coming, an arrow flew at them. While the peasants swung their swords to block the flying crossbow arrows, they had already questioned the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the defenders who had inspected the city gates during the day. I don't know how so many spies got in, not to mention that they also brought so many crossbow machines into the city, it seems that those bastards are really rich and uncles, and they haven't been seriously interrogated and checked at all.
Hundreds of corpses were left behind, and the defenders at the head of the city failed to take the gates. Most of the rebels in the city were drunk and did not wake up, and only a few men and horses were rushing in a panic. It's just that they were in a panic, but the cavalry outside the city was not slow at all, and they were already waiting for this moment.
Like a whirlwind, Luo Cheng took the lead and arrived at a rapid pace with three thousand light horsemen. With a dull rumbling sound, the three thousand horsemen rushed across the drawbridge, through the city gates, and into the county of Hejian.
Luo Cheng left 1,000 men and horses to guard the city gate, and took the remaining 2,000 without stopping at all, carrying guns and knives, and galloping across the city. Where there is fire, it rushes there, and where there are gathered men and horses, it is a rain of arrows and crossbows.
Immediately after, Luo Yi also led most of the people to arrive quickly, and in the faint light, I don't know how many people and horses arrived.
Most of the soldiers who had not woken up from a hangover and came out of the camp in a panic were beheaded by the galloping knights. After Luo Yi entered the city, he led people to the military camp in the city. In the middle of the camp, the peasant army, under the command and order of the generals of various departments, was assembling at the imperial court. But in the dark of night, it was urgent**, and it was raided when drunk**, and it was a disaster for these rabble mud-legged people.
Even though the leaders roared loudly, by the time Luo Yi arrived, he had only gathered a small number of people. All the departments have raised troops to fight, but the strategy of the headquarters is not strong, and the morale is complete, and there is no unified command, and the tens of thousands of rebels in the camp are like scattered sand.
Luo Yi led the men and horses to gallop and stampede, countless bows and crossbows were divided, and before the battle, the rebel army had already collapsed. Luo Yi even took the opportunity to cover up and kill, just drive away. In less than half an hour, although Hejian County claimed to have more than 50,000 soldiers, it had become more than 50,000 chickens and ducks running around in a panic.
By the time dawn, the county town of Hejian had already been controlled by Luo Yi, and all four gates were closed, except for a small number of people who fled from the city at the beginning, and the people and horses of the city were blocked. More than 50,000 rebels, plus 40,000 or 50,000 rebel families and the rebel army, more than 100,000 people all fell into the hands of Luo Yi.
In the chaos, Gao Kaidao saw the opportunity very quickly, and led hundreds of horsemen to open the West City and escape from the city. Liu Badao was bumped into by Luo Cheng, and after the two generals fought for dozens of times, they were stabbed under the horse by Luo Cheng with a shot and captured. But Gao Shida was a little funny, he was too excited last night, he actually drank and even the third daughter, and only fell asleep on the third watch. When Luo Yi entered the city, he slept like a dead pig, and the servants in the mansion had already fled for their lives, but left him in the mansion instead.
After dawn, Luo Yi's subordinates searched for a long time, and only then did they find Gao Shida who was still naked* sleeping on the big bed in the Donghai Mansion. was escorted to Luo Yi's horse, Luo Yi didn't say a word, pulled a knife to cut off Gao Shida's head, and ordered it to be put in a box and sent to Chen Wangjun
