Chapter Eighty-Five: Shi Ke is in and out of the crowd

At the moment when Liu Wei and his entourage had just stepped into the city gate and the city gate was slowly closing, Ma Handa and the others, who were in charge of leading the way, looked down at their chests with a shocked face.

A bowl-sized hole of blood appeared in front of the old man's chest, and blood gushed from the wound.

The old man looked at Liu Wei with an unwavering look on his face in disbelief, and saw that there was a smile on his face, and the old man intuitively felt his scalp tingle when he saw this scene.

The old man used the last bit of strength in his body and asked with difficulty, "Why is your lord like this?" ”

"Those who are not of my race will have different hearts."

Seeing that the old man was still looking at him in disbelief, Liu Wei smiled slightly, raised his eyebrows at the old man, and said: "From today on, there can only be one voice in Xuanwu County, and it is too much of a hindrance to keep you, so I can only make this decision, and I hope you can understand more." ”

"I?"

When the old man heard this, he was taken aback, and when he was about to speak, he heard two unusually terrible screams suddenly from beside him, and looked sideways, but saw that the two old men beside him were caught under the armpit by a big man who was close to his length, and his neck was broken alive.

The big man in the eyes of the old man is Yuwen Chengdu who is by his side.

Yuwen Chengdu saw that Liu Wei suddenly made a move on the old man, so he immediately understood that there was no need for Liu Wei to order, one in each hand, and the two Ma Han nobles who went out of the city with the old man were corrected on the spot.

"You... You are... The Son of Heaven. ”

The old man had an expression of disbelief on his face, pointed his fingers at Liu Wei, and after saying the last sentence with difficulty, he fell headlong under the horse and died on the spot.

After a long time.

The city gate slowly opened again, Chai Shao led a thousand Han troops to the outside of the city to collect and surrender soldiers, and Zhang Xun led five hundred Han troops to climb the city wall and take over the city defense.

Yuwen Chengdu saw that everyone was assigned an errand, but he was the only one who was left behind, so he looked sideways at Liu Wei, rubbed his hands with a smile, and said: "Your Majesty, all the generals have errands, but the last general does not, I don't know..."

Liu Wei smiled slightly, and then suddenly straightened his face, and said with a straight face: "I have an extremely urgent task here that you need to do personally, you don't want to disappoint me." ”

When Yuwen Chengdu heard this, he hurriedly looked straight, and bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, but there is a sending, and the minister will never give up." ”

"With you leading the two hundred cavalry, go to the four cities of Houcheng, Xigaima, Liaoyang, and Gaoxian, and I will order Nanba and Lei Wanchun to lead the army to follow closely behind you and take over the city defense." Liu Wei said.

When Yuwen Chengdu heard this, he shook his head almost without thinking, and said: "The city is at the time of employing people, and the minister only needs fifty light horses to return to the city." ”

"This..."

When Liu Wei heard this, he suddenly hesitated a little, and said: "I know that you are extremely brave, but when it comes to the siege of the city, you must not have a careless heart to underestimate the enemy." ”

Yuwen Chengdu bowed to Liu Wei very solemnly and said, "Shi Ke is not in the crowd, fifty rides are enough." ”

"Okay."

Liu Wei nodded and said, "Since Chengdu has this confidence, I can't say anything more, I will set up a banquet in the city at noon tomorrow to catch the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

"No."

Yuwen Chengdu retreated.

Yuwen Chengdu personally led fifty light horsemen out of the city, and Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun led five hundred foot soldiers to follow, and before they were separated, Yuwen Chengdu informed Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun of the deployment of this battle in advance.

"First conquer Gaoxian, then attack Xigaima, then attack Liaoyang, and finally conquer Hou City, I don't know what the two of you think?" Yuwen Chengdu asked.

When Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun heard this, they unanimously saluted Yuwen Chengdu and said, "I am willing to be the head of the general." ”

"Good."

Yuwen Cheng arched his hand to the two of them on the horse, and said, "Ben will take the first step, and the two brothers can lead the army to slow down in the rear." ”

Yuwen Chengdu said that, he immediately lightly clamped the horse's belly, led the army all the way north, and rushed straight to Gao Xian, one hundred and fifty miles away.

The road in Xuansu County is flat, a horse and a flat river, a distance of one hundred and fifty miles, for the light cavalry, it is about less than two hours.

Yuwen Chengdu led the army in a place twenty miles away from Gao Xian City, dismounted and ate something, and after the people and war horses were full of food and drink, everyone got on their horses one after another, and went straight to Gao Xian City to kill.

After a stick of incense.

Looking at the city wall about two zhang high, Yuwen Chengdu rolled his eyes speechlessly, and said: "I thought that Gao Xiancheng was located at the border, and it should be a fortified city that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but I didn't want this to be just a small city. ”

"The general must not be careless about the enemy."

The person who spoke was about his early twenties, and this person followed Liu Wei and others to participate in the war to exterminate the Black Mountain bandits, and also made some military achievements.

This time, he followed Yuwen Chengdu all the way to attack the city, and he was one of the few people in the army who could talk to Yuwen Chengdu.

When Yuwen Chengdu heard this, he pursed his lips contemptuously and said, "I won't tell you, in fact, I'm already very modest." ”

Yuwen Chengdu said, stretched out his hand to take off the phoenix wings and gold pistol from the back of the pack horse, and rushed to the city in the lead.

The defenders of Gaoxian City are less than 300 people, which is basically no different from an empty city for the current Yuwen Chengdu.

Yuwen Chengdu poured the phoenix wings and gilded the hammer, and the tip of the hammer dragged on the ground, rubbing a few sporadic sparks with the ground from time to time, and the defenders couldn't help but sink in their hearts.

Most of the Ma Han defenders have never eaten much, they stand in front of Yuwen Chengdu like a monkey, Yuwen Chengdu casually waved a hammer, at least five or six Ma Han defenders of the city can be harvested.

The whole battle lasted less than a stick of incense, and the Mahan defenders voluntarily surrendered after paying nearly 100 lives of their compatriots.

More than 200 Mahan defenders knelt down on both sides of the road, trembling at Yuwen Chengdu, which was like a god descending from heaven, and no longer dared to have the slightest thought of resistance.

Yuwen Chengdu ordered people to tie up all the Ma Han defenders, and then left five cavalry to guard the Ma Han defenders who were tied up outside the city.

About three hours later, it was getting dark.

Lei Wanchun finally led the Han army to come, looking at the two hundred Gaoxian defenders who were tied up by the five flowers, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, and said: "I knew that they were so obedient, and we didn't need to be in such a hurry." ”

The five Han soldiers who were responsible for guarding Gao Xian's subordinates saluted Lei Wanchun in unison, carried out a simple handover with Lei Wanchun, and immediately turned over and galloped towards Houcheng without stopping.

Everyone has already understood the siege efficiency of Yuwen Chengdu, and they know that they may not even be able to drink soup when they go to Xigaima at this moment, so instead of running in vain, it is better to go directly to Houcheng to wait for the arrival of Yuwen Chengdu.
