Chapter 188: The Rebellion in West County
Gao Shun lifted the knife out of the account, and bumped into Zhang Xiu who came on a horse, seeing Zhang Xiu's anxious appearance, he had an extremely bad premonition in his heart: "Bo Jin, why is there a shouting of killing in the city?" ”
Zhang Xiu turned over and dismounted, rushed to Gao Shun and said, "General, the Xixian Shi clan is in rebellion and is leading private soldiers to attack the city gate of our army."
Although Gao Shun was a little surprised, he did not have the slightest disorder, and after clearly analyzing the situation in front of him, he immediately decided: "Follow me to lead the trapping camp to kill and recapture the city gate."
"No!"
Zhang Xiu made a majestic promise, and immediately turned over on the horse, the spear in his hand: "Trap the camp, assemble"
The cool spring rain in the west lingers like the autumn rain, and it can be several days at a time.
This evening, the sky has just darkened, there is a private soldier of thousands of people, quietly touched the area around the gate of Xixian County, this group of private soldiers is the Zhuang Ding Men of the Chen family in Xixian County, this Chen family is the largest and powerful in Xixian County, the population is about 700 households, the old and young women and children all add up to thousands of people, in addition to some large families also have a lot of doormen and servants, this time they are embarrassed, gather a whole thousand people, take advantage of the cover of the night, this group of private soldiers faintly kill to the gate of Xixian County, want to cut open the city gate and let Liang Shuang's army enter the city.
After occupying Hanyang County, according to Yang Fu's suggestion, he did not suppress the Chen family excessively, as long as the Chen family can pay taxes on time, everything will be fine, but the world is unpredictable, and at the most dangerous moment, the Chen family is still reversed.
Chen Yu is the younger brother of the head of the Chen family, and he is also the leader of this operation, and under the escort of dozens of guests, he marched in the rain in the middle of the team.
"After arriving at the city gate, don't care about anything, cut the city gate directly, and wait for the city gate to be broken, there will naturally be a large army to respond, if you can't break the city gate before Gao Shun's reinforcements arrive, they will fight back, and everyone will have only a dead end!"
Chen Yu snatched the umbrella from the doorman's hand, threw it in the mud, let the rain pour on his body, and waved his hand loudly to urge the whole army to advance: "After arriving at the city gate, the sword was unsheathed, and the soldiers guarding the gate were killed, and the soldiers and horses of the Wudu guarded by Liang Taishou were welcomed." ”
The east gate of Xixian County was caged in the rain curtain next night, a solemn, from the rebels to the present, it has been a whole day, although the sergeants are very tired, but they do not dare to have a trace of slackness, if Xixian is breached, the rebels can, a song and march, straight to Hanyang County Ji County, if Ji County is breached, then Longxian County will lose the east barrier.
The Chen family is a well-deserved giant in Xixian County, and it is also one of the most wealthy families in Hanyang County.
The current Chen family is still only a local wealthy family, and its influence is only limited to Longxi, Wudu, Hanyang and other places, and there is still a certain gap between those famous families in the world, for example, Runan Yuan's family, Jiangxia Huang family, Hongnong Yang family, Xingyang Zheng family, these are protégés and former officials all over the world's wealthy families, everyone in the sea knows, no one knows.
After Lu Bu occupied Hanyang, the Chen family was already suspicious, and later Wei Kang and Yang Fu were now collecting grain, which immediately caused the dissatisfaction of the Chen family, so this time Liang Shuang invited the Chen family to rebel together and seize Hanyang, and the head of the Chen family did not hesitate to come down, and Lu Bu's expedition happened to be a golden opportunity, and Liang Shuang had already made a promise that as long as the Chen family helped him break through Xixian, the county order of Xixian belonged to the Chen family.
It was late at night, and the surging rain curtain shrouded the soldiers around the gate of Xixian County, and the heaven and earth were slaughtered.
"Ahh
In the dull footsteps, a sharp scream suddenly sounded, but it was the scream of the sentry on the tower who was shot by an arrow and killed him.
"Kill!"
Throwing away the crossbow in his hand, Chen Yu took out the saber at his waist and ordered the private soldiers to rush forward.
Suddenly suffered an ambush, but the captain defending the city did not panic, he was stunned only for a moment, and saw that although the number of the other party was twice as large as his own, they were all private weapons, and immediately waved the sword in his hand, and ordered loudly: "The whole army is in formation, move closer to the center, and kill the traitors"
"Kill!" "Kill!"
With the order of the captain, hundreds of meters of heavy armor and state troops with shields on their heads, steel knives in their hands, formed a formation, and advanced along the streets and alleys to the center.
Accompanied by the deafening sound of gold and iron, shouts and screams came one after another, the two sides launched a tragic street battle in the streets and alleys, from time to time someone was cut down in a pool of blood, Yin Hong's blood was scattered in the rain all over the ground, and it seemed to be separated and bloody.
The clansmen and servants of the Chen family are just ordinary people in the end, and they have no armor to protect themselves, and the weapons they use are not as good as the Bingzhou army, although there are doormen to help, but they still can't withstand the impact of the Bingzhou army.
When Gao Shun and Zhang Xiu led the troops to come to support, the battle was nearing the end, and the rebellious Chen family's private soldiers were besieged in a dead end by the Bingzhou army, and the left and right clashes could not be found.
"See the general!"
Seeing Gao Shun coming on horseback, all the sergeants immediately saluted, Gao Shun responded in a low voice, turned over and dismounted with Zhang Xiu, strode to the mouth of the alley, looked at the private soldiers with despair in his eyes, Gao Shun raised his eyebrows: "Say, who ordered you to come?" ”
The private soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, and finally cast their eyes on Chen Yu's body, and followed everyone's gaze, after Gao Shun saw the person clearly, he suddenly lost his voice and shouted: "It's you!" ”
Gao Shun is stationed in Xixian, he is no stranger to Chen Yu, whenever there is a shortage of food in the army, he will go to these families to collect grain, and the grain of the Chen family is precisely distributed by this Chen Yu, Chen Yu led the private army to attack the city gate, is it the Chen family that can't do it, if so, it will be very bad.
"Gao Shun, I can't imagine it, you're almost finished, a group of horsemen, and they still want to occupy Hanyang, it's just a fool's dream!" Seeing Gao Shun coming, Chen Yu did not have the slightest fear, for the sake of the family's great cause, he had already put life and death aside.
The lieutenant smiled coldly: "It's not ashamed to say that you are dying, you will all be buried here today, see how you should be together inside and outside!" ”
Chen Yu glanced at the lieutenant sarcastically, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Chen Yu's confident appearance, Gao Shun's brows furrowed slightly, what made Chen Yu so confident, and who else in the Chen family participated in this operation? Gao Shun turned his head and glanced at the dense soldiers behind him, and his eyes suddenly widened: "It's not good, go to the north gate, this is a plan to 'divert the tiger from the mountain'"
Although Chen Yu looked down on Gao Shun's group of martial artists, he also had to admire Gao Shun's reaction, and he actually reacted immediately, but it was too late: "Gao Shun, even if you know, what?" Your army has been led here by me, and the remaining three gates have long been empty at this time, and with my cousin answering, I am afraid that the city gate has been opened at this time, and Liang Taishou's men and horses have already attacked the city."
It turned out that when Gao Shun was stationed in Xixian, there were already five hundred county soldiers stationed, and one of the city gate captains was from the Chen clan, in order to appease the Chen family, Gao Shun did not remove his position, but let him be the city gate captain, now it seems that he is really wrong.
"Bo Jin, kill them all, and then withdraw from Xixian County and move closer to Ji County"
At this most critical moment, Gao Shun made the most accurate judgment, if it is really as he expected, I am afraid that this Xixian County will not be able to defend, because the enemy army has tens of thousands of horses, and the side is only 10,000, soldiers and horses have clouds, ten are surrounded, five are attacked, and the times are divided, the enemy can fight, less can escape, if not, it can be avoided, and the state army is obviously in a weak position
As soon as Gao Shun's words fell, he saw a deafening shout of killing in the north of Xixian County, and Gao Shun's face changed greatly.
