Chapter 519: Huishi'an City (Middle)

The sky finally dawned, a golden light rushed up from the east like a sharp sword, pierced the gloomy sky in an instant, and then a round of golden discs jumped out of the earth, the light was full of light, the haze faded, the rooster sang, everything recovered, but then the Hengshan City, which had been silent all night, was still dead and calm, a depressing death gas floated around in the city, Gao Keye, who was sitting on the city gate tower with a black face, was also full of life, and his dark face was full of thick evil gas, so frightened that the surrounding relatives and guards didn't even dare to take a breath of air, lest he accidentally provoke Gao Keye and bring himself to the danger of death.

Gao Keye is very annoyed now, and it's not ordinary annoyance, it's the kind of annoyance that wants to kill people - it's enough to let him stay and die, and he said that he would help a thousand elite soldiers, but as a result, there were a thousand people sent last night, but all of them were wounded soldiers, or the kind of wounded soldiers who lacked arms and legs, which made Gao Keye eager to use a knife to split into a great force.

Death, Gao Keye is not afraid, since he has embarked on the road of the army, Gao Keye has long had the consciousness of death, but he was sold, and he had to die for others, but this feeling is not acceptable to Gao Keye, at this time, Gao Keye's heart was messy, and his eyes were full of murderous spirit, but he didn't know who this murderous spirit should be vented to, so he could only sit in the city gate tower with a black face and sulk.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

A dull drum suddenly sounded in the morning light, and then, the originally closed Tang army camp suddenly opened, a group of mighty Tang officers and soldiers lined up in a neat queue out of the camp gate, the earth-shattering footsteps shook the not thick Hengshan city wall trembling because of this, the defenders at the head of the city saw the Tang army such a mighty and majestic team, all panicked, hands and feet trembled, everyone looked helplessly on Gao Keye, who was the main general, counting on Gao Keye to stand up and stabilize the army's heart, Unexpectedly, Gao Keye seemed to be ignorant and unconscious, sitting there with a black face.

"General Gao, Tang Jun ......" A personal guard saw Gao Keye sitting there motionless, and hurriedly reminded him, but he was only halfway through the words, and was swept away by Gao Keye's sharp eyes, and he was so frightened that he immediately closed his mouth.

"Humph!" Gao Keye snorted coldly, no longer paying attention to the talkative guard, and simply closed his eyes - in Gao Keye's opinion, as long as the Tang army starts to attack the city, there is actually no difference between defending and not defending at all, in this case, wouldn't it be superfluous to spend that spirit to observe the movements of the Tang army.

The Tang army's movements were extremely fast, and the time before and after only a pillar of incense had been set up under the city, and all kinds of siege equipment were also in place one by one, and the 150,000 troops were silently lined up there, and the thick murderous aura went straight up to the clouds, making the already nervous defenders at the head of the city panic at a loss, if it weren't for Gao Keye himself sitting in the city gate tower and pressing the formation, I was afraid that a group of officers and soldiers defending the city would have already lost their armor and fled.

"General Gao, there is a ......" Gao Keye didn't lie asleep for long, and the much-talked-speaking guard opened his mouth again, so angry that Gao Keye opened his eyes suddenly, and glared at the guard angrily, so frightened that the guard trembled all over, but he still reported hard-headedly: "Gao, Gao, general, army, Tang, Tang army, army, army, envoys, section out, out of battle, battle." ”

"Huh?" Gao Keye couldn't sit still this time, glanced at the guard, Huo Ran got up, rushed to the city plate in three steps and two steps, looked out, and immediately saw two flying horsemen pacing out of the Tang Army array, slowly coming towards the city wall, Gao Keye looked at it, and recognized that the first general wearing Mingguang armor was his own clan brother Gao Yanshou, his pupils immediately contracted into a ball, clenched his teeth, but he was panting vigorously.

"The city guard is a virtuous nephew? The old man Gao Yanshou is here, and please come out to talk. Gao Yanshou led a personal guard to the city wall, looked at the banner at the head of the city, and shouted loudly.

Gao Keye shrank behind the city, and did not immediately stand up to answer, his eyes looked at Gao Yanshou under the city with extremely complicated eyes - starting small, Gao Yanshou is the best general in the Goguryeo royal family, and the younger generation of royal clan children all take Gao Yanshou as an idol, Gao Keye is no exception, every time he fantasizes about becoming a hero like Gao Yanshou, however, since the first battle of Niulangang, Gao Yanshou voted for the Tang Dynasty and became a rebel general of Goguryeo, which made Gao Keye, who had participated in the bitter battle of Anshi City, extremely hate Gao Yanshou's shameful behavior, I can't wait to rush into the Tang realm single-handedly to take Gao Yanshou's head, until this time before he was left to die, Gao Keye's concept has not changed, however, since yesterday's discussion, Gao Keye has some understanding of Gao Yanshou's original choice, although it is far from a complete understanding, but he is no longer too resentful, at this time, seeing Gao Yanshou standing under the city, Gao Keye really doesn't know how to face this childhood idol.

"But is Ye Xian's nephew here, the old man has no other intention to come here, just to send a message, and please come out to talk about it?" Gao Yanshou didn't find Gao Keye hiding behind the city saucer, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see any movement in the city, so he invited him again.

Gao Yanshou waited for a while, but he still didn't see Gao Keye come forward, and the look on his face immediately became a little unpleasant, but he didn't have a seizure, let alone turn around and leave, but took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said loudly again: "Keye Xian's nephew, don't you have the courage to see the old man?" ”

"Old horseman, if you want to persuade you to surrender, please go back, you have no time to listen to nonsense!" As soon as he heard Gao Yanshou say this, Gao Keye couldn't bear it anymore, poked his head out of the city saucer, and said aloud unceremoniously.

Gao Yanshou was not angry by Gao Keye's scolding, but laughed out loud and said: "After the nephew of Keye Xian sacrificed himself as a human being, his feelings are heroic and admirable, and the old man is ashamed." ”

"You're ......, fart!" Gao Yanshou's words obviously stabbed Gao Keye's sore spot, and when he thought of the eyes of his colleagues looking at him, Gao Keye's face immediately became extremely blue, and he angrily pointed at Gao Yanshou under the city, and scolded in a trembling voice.

"Oh? In this way, it is not the virtuous nephew who asked for the break, alas, the time is also fate, the mourning of the virtuous nephew, and the old man also has relatives. In the face of Gao Keye's angry scolding, Gao Yanshou didn't feel angry at all, his eyes narrowed, he reached out and stroked the long beard fluttering on his chest, and said with pity.

"Hmph, if you have the ability, you will come to attack the city, and see that there is no piece of armor left behind to kill you!" Gao Keye didn't want Gao Yanshou to see the joke anymore, so he dropped the sentence hatefully, so he planned to retract his head.

Seeing that Gao Keye was leaving, Gao Yanshou immediately raised his voice and said: "The virtuous nephew is slow, and the old man still has a word to tell." ”

Gao Keye obviously hesitated, but finally stopped, groaned slightly, and shouted coldly; "Speak!"

As soon as Gao Keye's word "speak" came out, Gao Yanshou was not in a hurry, he moved his long beard slowly and methodically, and said with a smile: "But Ye Xian nephew, if the old man is not bad, Cheng Dawu should have fled overnight yesterday, except for the few 2,000 men and horses under the virtuous nephew in this city, I am afraid that there is no side army, with such a meager strength in the hands of the virtuous nephew, can he hold this city for three days?" ”

As soon as he heard Gao Yanshou talk about the reality in the city as if he had seen it with his own eyes, Gao Keye's face finally changed, and he had the heart to defend himself, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to grit his teeth and pretend not to hear it, just blindly looked at Gao Yanshou silently, as if he was waiting for Gao Yanshou's next words.

In fact, the specific situation in the city Gao Yanshou is not very clear, and this judgment is not his own, but Li Zhen's confession last night, Gao Yanshou is just talking about it in the same way, in fact, he has no bottom in his heart, at this time, seeing that Gao Keye did not refute it, he immediately understood that this judgment was indeed true, and he couldn't help but secretly admire Li Zhen's ability, and hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "The virtuous nephew is loyal and brave, but the egg hits the stone, and the wise man does not take it, It's not worth dying for a treacherous person, even if a virtuous nephew has the courage to take righteousness and become benevolent, but he doesn't care about the safety of his subordinates? It is necessary to know that as a general, there should be something to do and something not to do, where to go, and hope that the virtuous nephew is self-respecting. ”

"Hmph, you want to surrender somebody, delusional! If you want to fight, you will come, no nonsense! Although Gao Keye's heart was loosened, he still refused to show weakness in his mouth, but his eyes were much weaker.

Gao Yanshou smiled faintly, ignored Gao Keye's wild words, pointed to the defending officers and soldiers who were probing their brains at the head of the city, and said loudly: "The Khan of Heaven has an order to destroy Anshi and slaughter its city, but God has the virtue of a good life, His Royal Highness the Prince has left a way for you to live, only you can open the city and surrender, not only do you not kill you, but you don't need to wait for the army to fight, in addition, your family in the city of Anshi can also be preserved, otherwise the jade will be burned on the day the city is broken, His Royal Highness the Prince will wait for half an hour to consider, outdated and not waiting, Wanger and others are good at their own discretion, Don't make a mistake about yourself, the old man is all he says, and he will leave. As soon as Gao Yanshou's voice fell, he didn't give Gao Keye a chance to speak, and led the guards around him to turn their horses and run back to the main formation, leaving only the stunned defenders in the city.

"General Gao, look ......"

"General Gao, you have an idea."

"General Gao, we are all at your disposal."

……

Gao Keye didn't expect Gao Yanshou to say that he would go, so simply, he was a little stunned for a while, and after being stunned for a while, he turned around stiffly, dragged his feet, and walked back to the city gate tower almost step by step.

"Hmm." Gao Keye waved his hand impatiently, stopped the words of the generals, sat down with a black face, hooked his head, and silently thought about his thoughts, all the generals were in a hurry, but no one dared to say more, they could only wait for Gao Keye's decision.

Not to mention that Gao Keye was hesitating and thinking hard there, but said that Gao Yanshou rode back to his own position, and immediately rushed to the Chinese army, quickly turned over and got off the horse, bowed to Li Zhen and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister has passed the word according to His Royal Highness's words, and the heart of the army in the city has been moved. ”

"There is General Lao Gao, there is a number in my lonely heart" Li Zhen raised his hand with a smile, signaled Gao Yanshou to be exempted, and then raised his voice and said: "Come on, burn incense and count, and put the incense case under the city." After Li Zhen gave the order, there were a group of people who acted according to the order, and in a few moments, a copy with the incense burner had been carried not far from the city, and a pillar of burning coarse incense was inserted straight on the incense burner, and the light smoke drifted with the wind, bringing silent pressure to the defenders at the head of the city.

The incense burned silently, the incense ashes continued to fall, and hundreds of thousands of people in the city and under the city were silently watching the incense, the difference was that the Tang army under the city was in a relaxed mood, just holding the attitude of watching the play, and for the defenders on the head of the city, the fall of each incense ash was one less vitality for them, until the incense was about to end, the defenders at the head of the city could not bear it, and no one had the heart to defend it, and they all silently gathered at the city gate. looked at Gao Keye, the head of his own family, who was sitting upright. "General Gao, the incense is running out, take care of it, the brothers are waiting for you." Seeing that the time limit was approaching, an older Qianhu chief finally couldn't help it, leaned to Gao Keye's side, and reminded him in a low voice.

"Hmm." Gao Keye replied noncommittally, slowly raised his head, looked around at his generals, and then looked at the officers and soldiers gathered outside, seeing that everyone's eyes were full of begging, and the sense of loss in his heart immediately became stronger than a wave - Gao Keye thought a lot just now, as a royal family, he really didn't want to fall into the Tang Dynasty, even if he was abandoned by others, so that he fell into such a dead end, he was unwilling to embark on the road of treason, but seeing that all the soldiers under his command had no heart to fight, Thinking that these soldiers had followed him for many years, he really couldn't bear to let all his subordinates accompany him to death, so he stood up stiffly, closed his eyes bitterly, waved his hand weakly, and said, "Open the city gate, come down." ”

Hearing that Gao Keye finally agreed to surrender, all the defenders and officers were relieved, and no one tried to persuade Gao Keye, and they all ran away in a swarm, opening the city gate and playing the white flag, leaving Gao Keye standing in the city gate tower expressionlessly.

As soon as the white flag on the city was raised, the sharp-eyed eagle immediately noticed it, and hurriedly pointed to the city head and said, "Your Highness, look, there is movement at the city head." ”

"Oh? Good! Li Zhen also saw the white flag at the head of the city, and then saw that the closed city gate was also opened, and he was overjoyed, and pointed to the city gate with a horse whip in his hand with a smile, and ordered loudly: "The Chinese army entered the city with Gu, Cheng Mingzhen, Yan Eighteen." ”

"The last general!" Cheng Mingzhen and Yan Eighteen, the two generals who were standing behind Li Zhen, heard Li Zhen's name, and hurriedly came out of the crowd and promised loudly.

"Gu Linger and others each led thousands of cavalry through the city, and pursued Cheng Dawu's department, be sure to annihilate it in the middle of the road, and there must be no mistakes!" Li Zhen glanced at the second general and ordered in a cold voice.

"Yes, the last general will obey His Highness's orders." The two generals saw that Li Zhen had given an order, and they did not dare to slack off, so they each received their orders, and returned to their own departments, ordered all the soldiers and horses, and led their troops to rush towards Hengshan City, which was wide open, and Li Zhen personally led the Chinese army to march slowly, collect and surrender the defenders in the city, and arrange for the people to be in a hurry, so I will skip it......

Two flowers bloomed, each with a branch, not to mention that Gao Keye had surrendered the Tang army to the city, but it was said that Cheng Dawu led more than 13,000 people to flee from Hengshan City, all the way to Anshi City, from midnight, until noon, never stopped, to the end, the foot soldiers who marched for nearly six hours were unable to go again, and had to stop at Luerling, intending to rest for a while, and then set the stop, but unexpectedly, just at the end, did not wait for Cheng Dawu to order to continue to hurry, I saw a surge of smoke and dust rising on the horizon in the direction of Yokoyama Castle, and the entire fleeing army immediately became chaotic.

Cheng Dawu obviously didn't expect the Tang army to come to the bookstore so quickly, he was stunned for a while, and completely forgot to restrain his subordinates in chaos, and was in a panic, but saw Yang Qianwu, the guard of Gaimu City, rushing to the front of the horse, and shouted loudly: "General Cheng, it's not good, it's the cavalry of the Tang Army chasing after you, ***, Gao Keye's dog thief must have surrendered, the general is leaving, and a certain department is here to break the general." ”

"Okay, there is General Lao Yang, Ben will allocate another 3,000 foot soldiers, be sure to block the chasing soldiers, hurry, come, blow the trumpet, and the whole army will rush back to Anshi City with Ben General." When Cheng Dawu heard that Yang Qianwu had asked for a break, he was overjoyed, and ordered his subordinates to allocate 3,000 foot soldiers to Yang Qianwu, and he led more than 8,000 troops to flee in the direction of this Anshi City.

Yang Qianwu is a rare member of the Goguryeo army brave general, just transferred from Pyongyang not long ago, some time ago was sent to Gaimu to serve as the city guard, only because of the small and broken city of Gaimu, plus did not expect the Tang army to come very fast, caught off guard, only three days lost the city of Gaimu, however, relying on its bravery, can lead most of the defenders to break through, the heart is not very afraid of the power of the Tang army, at this time to see the Tang army chasing the soldiers, expected to come is just a little cavalry, thinking that they can have the strength to fight with the Tang army, so they asked to break offAfter Cheng Dawu went, Yang Qianwu immediately reorganized the chaotic army and lined up a formation on the avenue, with archers, swords and axes in front, and cavalry in the back, intending to give the pursuing Tang army strikers a powerful look.

"Report, General Cheng and General Yan, there are 4,000 thieves in front of you, and 1,000 cavalry in the middle of the road." Cheng Mingzhen and Yan Shibazheng led their troops to rush forward side by side, and a horse galloped from a distance, loudly explaining the enemy's situation.

Although Cheng Mingzhen is a veteran, his official rank is slightly higher than Yan Eighteen, but he knows that Yan Eighteen is Li Zhen's confidant and favorite general, and he does not dare to pretend to be above Yan Eighteen. ”

Yan 18 has been following Li Zhen for a long time, his temperament is very high, and he doesn't care about Cheng Mingzhen's caution, and he raised his horse whip with a smile and said: "If the thief army wants to send him to death, he will be fulfilled by so-and-so, and the old general Cheng will press the formation for a certain and see how to break the enemy." ”

"It's okay, General Yan, please be careful." Cheng Mingzhen will not compete with Yan 18, at this time, seeing that Yan 18 is rushing to fight, he didn't say anything more, politely responded, galloped back to the headquarters, and gave an order, the cavalry of the Tang Army who came from the horse was divided into two parts, and Yan 18 led the front army to approach the enemy formation, and Cheng Mingzhen led the troops to postpone, thinking that it was a rescue, and the hostile sides were listed in the road, and a hard-fought field battle was about to start......
