Chapter 173: Climbing the City Wall at Night

Hu Luguang has not made an inch of success over the years, and he only got a Yongle County man by hard work, and he was ridiculed by his rival Duan Shao.

He had already held back a vicious anger in his heart, no matter what, this time he had to take a marquis and press Duan Shao's head.

Because of this, at noon, he took the initiative to break into Gao Chengshuai's tent to ask for battle, and tonight he had to lead his troops to take advantage of the night to seize the pass.

At that time, Gao Cheng was discussing with Duan Shao what to do after taking Tongguan, and Gao Jishi was also with him.

Of course, Gao Cheng was reluctant to let Hu Luguang take risks, but he couldn't stand Hu Luguang's attitude of seeking war, so he could only agree.

Hu Luguang got permission, and looked at Duan Shao defiantly.

Duan Shao is not like his cousin Gao Cheng, in the battle of Hanling, he led the troops to rush to Er Zhuzhao first.

For Duan Shao, it doesn't matter if he is provoked, but he must not let Hu Luguang steal the first credit, and when the time comes, he will really be made a county marquis, and he must not kick his nose in the face with himself.

He also asked Gao Cheng to go to the city.

Gao Cheng was stubborn, so he could only carefully explain that they had to be more careful, the situation was not right, and he immediately retreated.

Gao Jishi on the side saw it, and couldn't help but ask for battle, but was glared at by Gao Cheng fiercely.

At that time, there were only four of them in the tent, and Gao Cheng said unhappily:

"One Tongguan will make my three lovers take risks?"

Gao Cheng told Gao Jishi to let him stay in the rear with peace of mind, and send his troops to participate in the battle, and if his troops captured the door, it would still be counted as his credit.

If it weren't for Hu Luguang and Duan Shao to get involved, it would be fine, and if we didn't mix, Xue Hu'er felt that the credit was lost, and I complained:

"When Xiangyang, Chen Qingzhi's 20,000 steps were menacing, you are still afraid, why is Zihui so heavy on you today! You get the credit for picking it up for nothing. ”

Low Cheng was speechless for a while, after all, it was he who instigated Xue Hu'er to charge Chen Qingzhi with seven hundred horsemen.

After pondering for a long time, he was finally brought back to life, and repeatedly explained to the eight people, they must be hearty, even if they take Shangtong Pass tonight, they will be alive before and think of a way.

Eight people also responded.

But with Low Cheng's understanding of us, Gao Cheng should have listened to it and retreated, Hu Luguang may have listened to it, and Xue Hu'er should have listened to it.

……

The night is deep, the stars and the moon are bright, and tomorrow will be a good day.

As a special guard guarding Tongguan, Duan Shao sat paralyzed at the head of the city, and he didn't bother to look at the bow that had been pulled off the string on the side.

Xindao: Fortunately, this group of Kanto people stopped coming up at night, and at most they could get a good night's sleep.

Fortunately, Duan Shao also wondered why a group of guys who knew that they were state and county soldiers by looking at their robes and uniforms were so brave.

The surname is low, is not to give them eight stones of grain a year, what kind of life does he play.

But as soon as he thought that he would only be taken care of by the meal, Duan Shao was silent.

I also know that I can blame the imperial court for searching, Kansai is already richer than Kanto, and now it is such a calamitous year, it is not wrong to be able to have no food to eat, how can I compare with our Kanto people.

After the small drought, Gao Jishi did not plan to tighten his belt and follow the example of Kanto to pay the soldiers.

There is a way, Kanto hasn't done that yet, Kansai is following, if the soldiers have no opinion.

Because of that incident, Gao Jishi scolded low Cheng for his lack of morality.

Low Cheng is also innocent, you pay your own soldiers, what do you do in Gao Ji, do you have to go through his refusal to succeed?

Duan Shao hadn't heard about Gao Ji's preparation for the payment of military salaries, after all, it was rumored at that time, and the little guys were praising the kindness of the prime minister.

But now that a small drought has come up, so few people have starved to death in Guanzhong, and there are more households paying taxes, the court has to live a tight life, if there is hope for that military salary.

As soon as he thought of this, Duan Shao was not a little depressed, and thought that the little guy was also desperate, why could these Kwantung people get military salaries, and it was originally a disdainful eight-stone grain, which also made my eyes red.

Duan Shao muttered to himself and complained, then turned around and spat a mouthful of phlegm into the city wall:

"Phew! If you don't have any money, do you want to get up? ”

In the towering city wall, a head actually popped up at that time, facing Duan Shaoqi's eyes.

Still waiting for Duan Shao to react, Yuwentai waved the steel knife and cut me to the ground.

The man's self-muttering complaint was really small, and even Yu Wentai could hear it clearly as he climbed the long ladder.

Yuwentai jumped off the city wall and threw a sentence at Duan Shao's corpse:

"There's really no money."

raised his knife to fight with the shocked defenders, and in front of Yu Wentai, including his sister-in-law Zhang Mo and his old friend Liu Yanshou, a group of people climbed down the simple long ladder.

Tongguan is located in the mountains, and the cloud ladder of the four meridians is coming down, including the soldiers and ants of the state and county during the day to attack the city, and the simple long ladder is also used.

We were taken advantage of the night, when the defenders of Tongguan lost their vigilance, and carried a long ladder to climb on the city wall.

Tonight's attack on the city was only Si Jingshu and our group of Gaocheng troops, none of the Gyeonggi soldiers participated, and no Eastern Wei soldiers climbed and fought everywhere on the city wall.

The warning screams of the defenders pierced the long night, and Yuwentai slashed with a steel knife that was about to be curled, and finally defended the landing point with his comrades.

General Gao Cheng was not climbing yet, but nearby, a figure that Yuwentai had seen for a few times had not jumped off the city.

Hu Luguang will wait patiently for Gao Cheng to climb down, and I will lead my troops straight to the ladder to kill.

And Si Jingshu hadn't fought with the defenders at the stairway since I did.

The choice of the eight people was just like Low Cheng's guess after that, Si Jing listened to Low Cheng's words, and waited for his subordinates to gain a firm foothold under the city wall before climbing the city.

Hu Luguang also listened to Low Cheng's advice, but he was eager to make meritorious contributions, so he and his subordinates went to the city together.

And Xue Hu'er put his safety out of his heart at all, and drank a jar of wine after getting out of the battle, and the reckless man played first.

When Hu Luguang and I converged, Xue Hu'er was traumatized by the living youth.

The two followed the men who climbed the city wall and fought with the defenders, who gradually became separated.

Originally, the group of Tongguan soldiers were elite soldiers, and they had not gone through the offensive and defensive consumption during the day, so they were the opponents of the soldiers of the Gyeonggi Army who had recuperated all day.

Before Gao Cheng also rushed over to join Hu Luguang and Si Jingshu, the eight of them fought side by side, all the way up the stairway from under the city wall.

When the eight-member army was able to deploy, the Tongguan defenders finally ended their rout.

The eight did not pursue, but went together to seize control of the city gate.

In Tongguan, the low clarity is slow.

Before the sound of fighting in Tongguan, I had a heart to put up.

The state and county soldiers are still resting, and the troops of Murong Shaozong and Dugu Yongye in Jinggi and Ke Zhu Hunyuan and Hou Yuan have not yet lit torches, waiting for the small gate of Tongguan to be pulled up.

Seeing that Hu Luguang and the other eight people had a firm foothold in the city, those junior generals in the army actually understood that the city-breaking work had not been won by us, and the only question was who got it out of their hands.

Ask yourself, you can seize that opportunity for yourself.

But even if it is Gan, there is nothing to be done, and no one is alive in the relationship between the eight hairy sons and Low Cheng.

Hou Yuan said secretly in his heart:

At that time, when I heard that Hou was above and the county marquis, he should have known that the credit was set for those eight people.

After thinking about it, he was also relieved, the eight people closest to Low Cheng also had to take risks in person in order to win the title, and there was nothing to complain about.

I'm going to catch a high-speed rail, the number of words is a little less, and I'll change it at night.
