Chapter 462: The Death of Anshi (5)

At three o'clock, the wind is blowing, the sky is dark, it is close to the darkest hour before dawn, at such time, not to mention the bright moon in the sky, even the stars can not see half of it, the darkness covers the earth, even if the city head is bright and extinguished in the wind A few torches can not bring people a trace of light, but more prominent black hideous, as if this night is dark and the wind is high, it is a good time to set fire to kill, this is not, the south gate of Anshi City is crowded with thousands of troops, people with horses and horses, all from the number of people and horses, But there was not a trace of unusual noise, if it were not for the reflection of the torches on the top of the city, even if they came closer, no one would have noticed the anomaly here, and all the officers and soldiers quietly waited for the final order to be given, and everyone had a resolute look on their faces.

In this silence, suddenly a slight commotion came from the back of the team, although it didn't make much noise, but it still made Gao Kecheng, the eldest son of Gao Huailong, who was leading the troops to prepare for the battle, annoyed for a while, and his eyes were glaring, and he was about to get angry, but when he saw the light of the torch, he was immediately deflated, and the person who came was not someone else, it was his own father Gao Huailong!

Dad, why are you here in person? Gao Kecheng asked in a low voice, and the dissatisfaction in his voice was very strong.

Others don't know the danger of this night attack, but Gao Huailong knows in his heart, this is a life of nine deaths, even if the Tang army is not prepared at all, just thousands of people and horses into the hundreds of thousands of troops, who dares to guarantee that they will be able to come back alive? And if the Tang army is prepared, the men and horses who go to the night attack will not have the slightest vitality! At this time, looking at the slightly immature face of his own son, Gao Huailong's heart was full of love and pity, however, in front of many soldiers, he could not have the slightest abnormal performance, in the face of Gao Kecheng's complaints, Gao Huailong could only make a straight face, glanced at Gao Kecheng, but did not reprimand, but looked around at the soldiers around him, waved his hand, and said calmly: Go on the expedition, for the motherland, please!

As soon as Gao Huailong's words came out, although thousands of soldiers could not make slogans or other actions because of their stubbornness, everyone's faces faintly revealed a layer of blood-colored red light, and they clenched their fists, and the fighting spirit reached a peak in an instant, and when the city gate was slowly opened, thousands of soldiers under the leadership of Gao Kecheng walked out of Anshi City without looking back, quietly disappeared into the dark night, and soon disappeared.

Will it work? I don't know! Gao Huailong's expectations for this night attack are actually not high, but the grim reality is in front of him, but he can't help but take risks, even if this night attack is only one percent possible, he has to try it, otherwise, when the Tang Army's reinforcements are assembled in place, it is difficult to say how long the small Anshi City can last. Gao Huailong looked at the direction of the night attack team, and stood in a daze for a while, then waved his hand and ordered: Close the city gate!

General, Major General As soon as Gao Huailong's words came out, a general on duty who was originally silently next to him was taken aback, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him.

Needless to say, execute! Gao Huailong/ didn't explain at all, and interrupted the general's words in a cold voice.

Yes, close the gates! The partial general originally wanted to persuade again, but when he saw that Gao Huailong's face was wrong, he had no choice but to receive the order and command his subordinates to reseal the heavy city gate.

The three-legged black god is above, please bless my son with a safe return. Gao Huailong looked at the slowly closing city gate in a daze, praying silently in his heart, and a faint sadness appeared on his originally resolute face

The terrain of the location where Anshi City is located is extremely complex, outside the city gate is not the plain of a flat river, but a low and undulating hilly area, but the mountains are not too high, except for the Xicuo Mountain that Anshi City is backed by is as high as more than 800 meters, the surrounding area is full of small hills that are only thirty or forty meters high, and sometimes there are several square kilometers of flat land, and the Tang Army camp is set up on the flat ground between the two confrontational hills, and the left and right battalions are located on the small hills, and the Chinese army battalions and the baggage logistics battalions are all connected together, Nearly 10,000 tents are scattered behind the fence, roughly confused, in fact, orderly, the antlers are dense before the camp, along the perimeter of the camp, there is a lookout tower every dozens of zhang, the camp patrols are intensive, there are a lot of light and dark sentinels outside the camp to monitor all the abnormalities in the dark night, the defense can not be said to be imstrict, even if it is close to dawn at this time, it is the most sleepy hour, but the patrols everywhere still do not relax their vigilance, and the whole camp is protected tightly, almost leaving the slightest flaw, Of course, it almost does not mean that there is none, at least for the Goguryeo night attack army that rushed to the outside of the Tang army camp in the dark, the Tang army's guards still left an opportunity to take advantage of the front and loosen the back, facing the Tang army in the direction of Anshi City, although the arrangement is extremely tight, but the back is exposed, the guards are very rare, not to mention, the combination of light and dark whistles is not close, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity for the Goguryeo night attack team that rushed to the back of the Tang army camp by detour, without him, the purpose of the night attack team is not to take advantage of the dark night to defeat the Tang army, Instead, they went to the baggage logistics of the Tang army, and only burned the baggage of the Tang army, and the Tang army, which had no food to continue, had to retreat if it did not retreat.

At the end of the time, the darkest hour before dawn finally arrived, the sky that was already starry and moonless was already the darkness that could not be seen at this time, even if it was the torches lit on the wall of the Tang military camp, it could not shine beyond the zhang, the wind was stronger, blowing the mountains and forests, making bursts of sharp and piercing whistling, covering up all the sounds, leading the army to lie down in Gao Kecheng, who was only less than a hundred zhang away from the Tang army camp, nervously stared at the Tang army camp not far away, and a pair of eyes were faintly shining in the dark night. The slightly immature face inadvertently showed a look of anxiety and anticipation, until the two night owl chirps sounded in the wind, Gao Kecheng was completely relieved This is a signal, indicating that the subordinates who went to quietly touch the sentry have solved all the Tang Army sentries that can be found, and the rest of the matter should be his turn Gao Kecheng to make a decision.

Get on the horse and attack! Gao Kecheng did not hesitate much, and even ignored the fact that this shout might expose the secrets of the night raid operation, and after roaring, he took the lead in turning over his horse and killing the Tang army camp not far away, and at the same time, the two thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry behind him also launched one after another, screaming and rushing towards the Tang army camp.

Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Although the Tang officers and men on the watchtower could not see clearly the number of incoming enemies and the movements of the incoming enemy in the dark night, as soon as they heard the thunderous sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, it was enough to judge the fact of the enemy's attack.

Kill it, kill it! Seeing that the Tang army seemed to be unprepared, Gao Kecheng was extremely excited, pulled his throat and shouted wildly, galloping his horse, the short distance of a hundred zhang was just a few breaths of time for the galloping war horse, and he had rushed to the fence of the Tang army camp in an instant, and the sharp soldiers who had set off earlier had already removed the antlers in front of the Tang army's camp as soon as they heard the shout, and even cut a big gap in the fence with a big knife, and Gao Kecheng rushed into the Tang army's camp smoothly all the way.

Wrong! As soon as Gao Kecheng entered the Tang camp, his heart suddenly sudden, and a bad thought was used in his heart, and the shouts and screams in the Tang army camp were very noisy, but he couldn't see any rebels coming up to intercept his own actions, obviously, this is a trap!

Withdraw, withdraw! Gao Kecheng panicked and tried to restrain the galloping war horse, shouting at the top of his throat, but unfortunately at this time his own army had already rushed up, how could he say that he could stop if he stopped, Gao Kecheng's shouting not only failed to stop the influx of the army into the Tang army, but made his own army squeeze into a mess before and after, and the entire charging team was in chaos.

Shoot the arrows! In the chaos, a roar of anger suddenly sounded in the darkness, and in an instant, torches were lit in front of the rows of scattered tents in the rear camp of the Tang army, and countless crossbowmen of the Tang army, who had been on standby for a long time, were revealed from under the flap on the ground and in the tents, mercilessly beckoning a chaotic arrow towards the Goguryeo night attack army, and in an instant, a large piece of the Goguryeo army was shot down, and even the main general Gao Kecheng was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, but fortunately, there were shoulder pads to block most of the strength, The injuries weren't too serious.

Remove! Seeing that he had fallen into the trap of the Tang army, Gao Kecheng dared to fight again, and he didn't care about the life or death of his soldiers, after roaring, he rode his horse and galloped wildly towards the way he came, and the courage of the Goguryeo army after being sacked by the rain of arrows was long gone, as soon as he saw that the main generals had fled, who else was willing to stay and fight to the death, they turned around one after another, and fled desperately to the Tang camp outside the Tang camp in the rain of arrows of the Tang army. In this way, the two armies rushed around the hills one after the other towards the south gate of Anshi Castle.

Run, run! Gao Kecheng only had such a thought left in his heart, as for the courage before the expedition, he had long since lost his sights, listening to the shouts of the Tang cavalry chasing closer and closer behind him, Gao Kecheng didn't even have the courage to look back, he just cared about beating his horse and galloping, seeing that the light of the torches on the high walls of Anshi City was faintly visible, Gao Kecheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and went straight to the city regardless of it, shouting loudly: Open the city gate, open the city gate, the Tang army is about to catch up!

It's the major general who is back, quick, open the city gates! As soon as the guard on the tower of the city gate heard Gao Kecheng's voice, he became anxious, and he was busy directing his subordinates to open the city gate, so that Gao Kecheng could enter the city.

Don't open the door, violators will be killed! Without waiting for the officers and soldiers defending the city to make a move to open the city gate, Gao Huailong, who was standing silently on the head of the city, suddenly broke off and stopped the soldiers from opening the city gate.

General Gao, the person below is indeed a major general, the Tang army is about to catch up, and the partial general on duty on duty shouted as soon as he heard Gao Huailong's order not to open the city gate.

How could Gao Huailong not know that the person who shouted below was his eldest son, as a father, how could he not want to rescue his son in a desperate situation, but unfortunately he couldn't, in addition to worrying that the Tang army would take advantage of the chaos to attack the city, he was more worried about his own morale being severely frustrated, in order to be able to defend Anshi City, even if it was his beloved eldest son standing under the city, Gao Huailong would not have the slightest pity, in the face of the doubts of the officers and soldiers guarding the city, Gao Huailong did not pay attention to it, but poked his head out and shouted to the dark city: Cheng'er, My family only has generals who died in battle, and there are no defeated generals who fled.

Father Gao Kecheng knew what his father was talking about, he panicked, shouted, but he didn't know what to say, seeing that Gao Huailong had already retracted his head, Gao Kecheng's face flashed a trace of grievance, but it was soon replaced by a ruthless force, regardless of the feather arrow on his left shoulder, he raised the horse lance in his hand, and roared viciously: Sons, listen, there is no way back for us, come with me, kill the Tang thief! As soon as the words fell, he turned his horse's head and killed the Tang army pursuers who were chasing not far away.

Kill the Tang thief! Kill! Nearly 3,000 defeated soldiers saw that the retreat was at an end, but they became desperate, and they followed behind Gao Kecheng with their own shouts, and went to meet the surging Tang cavalry with the momentum of mourning.

Damn it, damn it! The Goguryeo rout did not make such a turn, but Cheng Wu, who had already led three hundred warriors into the rout, was so angry that Li Shimin knew that the Goguryeo army was going to attack at night, how could he not use it skillfully, the reason why he deliberately put Gao Kecheng's department to survive was to take advantage of the chaos to seize the gate of Anshi City, and the Tang army captured a lot of Goguryeo military uniforms, and it was easy to send a small army mixed in the rout. As long as the city gate can be controlled, the Tang Army Brigade that is chasing behind will naturally be able to take advantage of the situation to kill into the city, if so, Anshi City will be at your fingertips, but I didn't expect Gao Huailong to cut off his arm so ruthlessly, and he didn't let the rout enter the city at all, which made Cheng Wu, who was mixed into the rout, very angry, but helpless.

General, what to do? When Cheng Wu was very angry, the deputy general next to him saw that the situation was not right, and immediately lowered his voice and asked.

Kill all those boys! Cheng Wuting saw that the original battle plan was no longer possible, and the morning light had appeared at this time, if he stayed near the city gate any longer, not only would he not be able to attack the city, but once the Goguryeo army on the city wall saw the flaw, he would be in danger of his life.

Kill ah Gao Kecheng desperately attacked, but also unstoppable, a horse lance made fast, one after another several oncoming Tang cavalry picked off the horse, all the Goguryeo rout saw that their main general was so heroic, their morale was greatly boosted, and regardless of the surging Tang army, they roared angrily and went up, intending to fight with the Tang army to the death, but they never thought that a neat battle cry suddenly sounded behind their side: Tang might, Tang might! Immediately, the 300 warriors led by Cheng Wuting had entered the Goguryeo army from behind like a tiger entering a flock, and the Goguryeo army that was attacked from the front and back was in chaos, and the courage to fight to the death earlier was gone.

At this time, the sky has gradually brightened, the sky has revealed the white of the fish's belly, Gao Huailong, who was standing on the city gate tower and watching the war, saw the sudden killing of Cheng Wuting's department, and gasped when he landed, and was afraid for a while, only then did he realize that he had been ruthless and did not let go of the wisdom of the remnants of the army entering the city, but when he thought that his eldest son would die because of his own decision-making, his heart was in great pain, but for the sake of morale, Gao Huailong did not dare to bring it to his face, so he could only grit his teeth silently, Looking at the sons of their own families who rushed back and forth in the chaotic army.

Gao Kecheng has fallen into madness, no matter how many Tang soldiers and horses gather around him, he doesn't care that his own army has already collapsed, he still rushes back and forth, and a hoarse roar comes out of his throat, the whole person is already like a beast, fierce and abnormal, not to mention, a husband is desperate, ten thousand people can't stop it, don't look at Gao Kecheng's martial arts are not too strong, such a desperate situation, it really made him play a super level, and he was like a god helping to go back and forth in the chaotic army, although he was covered with injuries, but he couldn't kill Xiao Qiang, When the rampant posture arrived, it annoyed a person, Cheng Wuting!

Cheng Wuting's courage may not be as invincible as Xue Rengui, but he can definitely be regarded as a brave general in the Tang Army of the Northern Expedition, or even higher than Qin Huaiyu, but because his family background is not very prominent, he has not yet been able to become famous in the world. Seeing Gao Kecheng so rampant, how could Cheng Wuting bear it, roared, and rushed to kill Gao Kecheng, and killed a few Goguryeo cavalry who met him with a few shots, and the horse lance took Gao Kecheng's chest with a sharp stab.

Kill!

Look at the robbery!

Gao Kecheng in the madness and Cheng Wuting in the rage exhaled at the same time, and at the same time waved their guns to attack, but saw the double robbery crashing together in the air like lightning, poor Gao Kecheng is just an ordinary general, even if he is in the madness now, his strength is worse than Cheng Wuting, not to mention that he has a wound on his shoulder, and he has been fighting for a long time, how can he stop Cheng Wuting's fierceness, the two guns only touched, Gao Kecheng only felt that his palms were hot, and the horse lance in his hand had been shocked into the air, and when he was about to dodge, where could he have time, was shot in the chest by Cheng Wuting.

Rise! Cheng Wuting roared violently, and with a single afterburner, he had already lifted Gao Kecheng's body into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, smashing up a cloud of dust.

Seeing that Cheng Wuting was so mighty, the Tang army was cheered loudly, and everyone fought bravely to be the first, and the remnants of the Goguryeo army were already very little, and the rest saw that the main general was dead, and the morale was even lower to the extreme, and the whole army was wiped out under the strangulation of the Tang army without counting breaths, and after a night raid, it ended in the crushing defeat of the Goguryeo army.

The officers and soldiers defending the city at the head of the city watched their comrades and the whole army go to paper, everyone's faces were sad, the corners of their eyes were sad, and their faces were extremely painful, as for the commander Gao Huailong, his heart was like a knife, but he knew deeply that this was not the time for sadness, so he suddenly stepped forward, looked around at the soldiers gathered around him, and shouted in a passionate tone: Have you seen it? This is my good son of Goguryeo, I would rather die in battle than back down!

Fight to the death! Fight to the death! The defenders at the head of the city were silent for a while, and then they erupted in an earth-shattering cry, and the anger of the same enemy broke out
