What is the current situation of Wei Xiaokuan in Yubi City, Li Tai can probably empathize with it now. The difference is that Wei Xiaokuan has no way to escape, but he took the initiative to come to the door and was beaten by the Jinyang defenders.

He moved his steps back to the palace courtyard with some difficulty, and the armor that had already been filled with blood in every crevice was more than twice as heavy as usual, and when it was disassembled by his own soldiers, Li Tai's body was weak and he sat directly on the ground.

Even he, the main general, is tired like this, and the state of the other soldiers can be imagined. Since they entered this Jinyang Palace, they have been stationed here for more than a few days, and most of the personnel harvest has been transported out of Jinyang Palace in batches, and they have begun to survey and choose a retreat in the West Mountain.

But it's not easy to retreat, the Jinyang soldiers outside have already gone crazy. As long as they dare to completely evacuate Jinyang Palace, these Jinyang soldiers will definitely follow behind and swarm to kill, and they will never be given a chance to escape.

Moreover, they still have hundreds of war horses here, and the roads in the western mountains are rugged, and the passage of people and goods is very reluctant, which is not suitable for war horses to walk at all. If you want to give up these excellent Longyou war horses, Li Tai is also very distressed.

But if he continues to insist on sticking to it like this, he can't see the point, can he really stay until next year's big brother's seat? I'm afraid that when Big Brother comes back, he will be the first to peel his skin first.

What can still be counted on now, the first is Han Guo, who led the Lishi Hu people to the south to attack the city of Fenzhou, if he can break through a series of city defenses such as Liubi City, he can lead the Hu Department to continue to go north, and attack from the south with himself inside and outside, and it is really possible to conquer Jinyang City.

But this is obviously little hope, Li Tai deeply felt the strength of the Jinyang soldiers, if Li Shihu can do the autumn wind to them like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, then it is not that their family is ruined by Gao Huan's encirclement, but Gao Huan's crying father and mother who were beaten by them.

In addition, it has to be Luo Chao, who said before that he would go to recruit and persuade the prisoners of war to return here. But Luo Chao was completely silent after he went, as if he had completely disappeared, which also made Li Tai dare not place too much hope on this guy.

He knew that Luo Chao was very toxic, although he had been trying his best to shirk and refuse to be his boss, but he finally worked together, if he really listened to Luo Chao's words and stuck here to wait for his strategy to succeed, he might really be killed by this guy, so he still had to make preparations.

Li Tai marched north from Zuoguo City with 3,000 cavalry, and after gathering with Li Yunxin, the number of men and horses reached more than 5,000, including some captives.

But in the north of Jinyang City before, he divided his troops with Li Yunxin, leaving Li Yunxin with nearly a thousand elites to ride on his cheap side, or stay here to continue to harass the Jinyang City Defense, or bypass the Beishan Great Wall and join Liu Kuzhen, who was stranded in the other realm, to unite with Yunyang Valley Jihu to sweep the area outside the Beishan Great Wall and destroy the business environment here.

Li Yunxin's grandson's ability is really good, and Li Tai is also relieved of him, even if he can't effectively contain the Eastern Wei garrison of the Beishan Great Wall, it is always possible to withdraw to Suizhou safely.

Now Li Tai's strength is more than 4,000, most of the war horses have been handed over to Li Yunxin to lead away, after a few days of fierce fighting, although the killing of the enemy is considerable, their own casualties have reached a large number of hundreds, and now the number of people who can still fight is between three thousand and five or six, but they are already a huge consumption, if such a high-intensity confrontation continues, it may not last.

Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, Li Tai couldn't really end up dying for money, he had already planned to abandon the seized property here if necessary, and only lure away those craftsmen and palace slaves of Jinyang Palace.

Although the road to the West Mountain is difficult to navigate, it is not a dead end, and it is also possible to return to the western foot of Luliang Mountain through guerrilla warfare, unless Gao Huan gives up the opportunity to attack the Western Wei Dynasty and retreats from Yubi City to encircle and suppress him.

Of course, this is a plan from the bottom, and Li Tai does not believe that the Jinyang army's offensive can maintain such intensity all the time.

These veterans of the Six Towns are indeed brave and good at fighting, but it does not mean that they are not afraid of death, if they are really not afraid of death, they will not almost leave the boss on the battlefield during the battle of Shayuan, and the surging Yellow River cannot stop them from escaping.

After several days of fighting, the casualties of the Jinyang soldiers exceeded his own by several times, Li Tai obviously felt that the intensity of today's several waves of offensive was extremely low, and it was obvious that the Jinyang soldiers who were responsible for the attack were no longer the Jinyang soldiers, so it can be seen that this kind of battle damage made the Jinyang overlord a little unbearable.

Seeing that the walls of the palace courtyard here had been crumbling with knives and axes, and it was embarrassing to use it for a long time, Li Tai planned to abandon this palace courtyard and only hold a stronghold in the northwest corner to further compress the personnel who remained for this battle.

However, of course, this palace can't be handed over, and before leaving, Li Tai has to lay the next big trap. The storage of Jinyang Palace is really rich, and there are still some oily ointments and pine resin that have not been consumed yet, including some coal, taking advantage of the truce between the two sides, Li Tai and his staff smeared those ointments and other things inside and outside the hall corridor, and even the thick hall beams and columns have been chiseled out of holes and poured into them.

A tall shooting tower had already been erected outside the palace, and Li Tai's actions naturally couldn't hide the eyes and ears of the Eastern Wei Dynasty above, and they soon reported the situation to the rear.

After Gao Yue and Wei Digan, who supervised the battle, heard this situation, they had a headache again, even if they knew that it was a trap, they had to step on it, and they couldn't go on with it.

So they ordered the area around the palace to be cleared and a fire barrier was established, and they thought about which way to choose to step on this trap.

"Why don't you choose those Pishan prisoners of war recalled by the Jin Ancestral Hall? By the way, you can also burn these thieves together......"

After some deep groaning, Gao Yue spoke.

The enemy can use fire attack unscrupulously, that is because the emperor of the Eastern Dynasty is not recognized by the Western Dynasty, and he naturally has no scruples about destroying this imperial garden. But if they, the courtiers of the Eastern Dynasty, wreak havoc on the imperial palace, it is always a crime. But if this crime is framed on those Pishan prisoners of war, it is said that they set fire to the palace when the enemy army was fighting, and there is no proof of death.

After hearing this, Di Digan nodded in agreement, to this extent, patience has long been gone, if you can burn the thief army directly in the last palace they are guarding, it is naturally the best, even if you can't punish all of them, you can also take advantage of the chaotic escape to kill as much as possible into the West Mountain Quarry.

So soon this combat mission was passed on, and the 3,000 Pishan prisoners of war were ordered to cook and eat in advance, and prepare to enter the Jinyang Palace tonight for a night battle.

Along with this order came two large cartloads of miscellaneous grains. Although the soldiers were worried about the next task of war, when they saw the food entering the stove, their thirst for food overrode everything, and they gathered around the fire, waiting for the meal to be served, and polishing the rusty blades of the knives and guns distributed to them on the stones.

However, in this somewhat harmonious atmosphere, two commanders who entered the camp to deliver food took advantage of the inattention of others to find the strong man Gao Le, who was sitting together with his subordinates, and whispered in his ears to warn him not to rush forward when attacking at night later.

Gao Le took a deep breath and nodded heavily to the informant.

The campers here were really hungry for too long, and when the rice was still half-cooked, some people couldn't help but reach out and grab it, blow and swallow it. When the others saw this scene and smelled the tempting aroma of grains, they couldn't help but follow suit.

At this time, the south bank of Jinshui suddenly sounded a melodious and desolate singing, which was a Xianbei folk song that spread near Wuchuan Baidao, although the singing tone was not exciting, but it was melancholy.

"It's my brother, it's my brother's voice...... He was thrown in the Jin Ancestral Hall before, could it be that he was already dead, and his soul sang goodbye? ”

When some campers heard this ballad, they couldn't help beating their chests and crying, and then other campers heard the singing of their relatives one after another, and they all shed tears and wept, and some people couldn't help but rush towards Jinshui, wanting to confirm whether their relatives were really dead.

The commotion soon attracted the attention of the patrol soldiers, and soon several knights rushed in on horseback to stop the rioting soldiers. But as soon as these people rushed closer, they were thrown off their horses by Gao Le and others, who had been waiting for an opportunity.

Gao Le surrendered these people's arms, and then said angrily: "Since the governor has driven us to serve as camp slaves, why don't you have wine and meat to strengthen your courage? Hurry back and invite you, otherwise the camp slaves will not fight! ”

Those soldiers didn't expect this camp slave to be so fierce, and they hurriedly fled here to ask for help elsewhere.

Gao Le pointed at the weeping campers and shouted, "Why don't you wipe away your tears and find out what's going on!" If your family dies, it is useless to weep blood, but if you don't die, there will be variables! ”

He was a rather detached position among the slaves, and many of the soldiers had been under his protection and care, so he was also quite prestigious, and when he heard this, several of the soldiers nodded yes, and approached the riverside and shouted to the south.

At this time, there were also people on the other side of the river who swam over, and before they got close to the riverbank, they heard the voices of those shouting relatives, and they knew that they had found the right place, and when they shouted loudly: "Li Kaifu of Li Boshan in Guanxi, the former Communist Party Situ Gao Zhongmi returned to righteousness, and fought with everyone in Bishan, and now Li Kaifu is in charge of the elite soldiers to capture Jinyang Beicheng, and rescue the prisoners of war in Bishan to return to China, General Luo Chaoluo has responded to the righteous act, do you dare to respond?" ”

The campers along the river couldn't digest so much information for a while, but after hearing this, Na Gaole's face changed drastically, and he jumped with an arrow, and rushed straight into the Jinshui River like an evil dragon, and shouted in front of the person who shouted: "Is it Gao Zhongmi and Gao Situ who sent you to come to the rescue?" Then Li Kaifu's name is Li Tai? The people and horses who attacked Jinyang Palace were led by Li Kaifu and Gao Situ? ”

Seeing Gao Le's reaction so violently, the man also panicked for a while, but he still nodded quickly.
