Chapter 235: The Fisherman

Xiao Yunhe led this group of more than 2,000 warriors who changed from cavalry to foot, carrying Da Mo knives, and had already fought with Liu Ting's cavalry.

In such a close-range stalemate encirclement and annihilation battle, Liu Ting's cavalry lost the advantage of impact and mobility, and in front of the eldest Mo knife, they were like lambs to be slaughtered.

Song Liangchen was riding a horse, and he was already extremely tall, but in the dark night, he looked more like a demon god descending to earth.

The heavy roar frightened Liu Ting and the others.

Xiao Yunhe and Gao Gu led the infantry team, and gradually formed a joint encirclement from the west and north sides, and the narrow valley terrain was more conducive to the infantry to give full play to their melee advantages.

Liu Ting led people to conflict for a long time, but he couldn't rush out.

First, his own people were already very chaotic, blocking the front and unable to move; second, Gao Gu held up a mace, and led a team of strange knife hands to seal the western road.

Dan Fan rushed to kill the cavalry here, either the horse's legs were cut off by the Mo knife and then cut into meat sauce, or they were beaten by Gao Gu's mace, and even the heads and bones of the horses were broken.

Xiao Yunhe glanced at it clearly, picked up a horizontal knife on the ground, and threw it at a cavalryman.

The man was pierced through his chest, and with a scream of 'Gege' coming out of his throat, he fell off his horse.

Xiao Yunhe stepped forward in a few big steps, jumped on the horse, picked up an iron spear, and joined Song Liangchen.

Liu Ting saw that the people around him were being killed less and less, and the encirclement of the Tang army was getting smaller and smaller, and he kept complaining in his heart, knowing that things were very bad.

With an idea in his heart, he turned over and got off the horse and threw away the red tassel helmet of Mingguang Armor, put on the iron gray helmet of a pawn, lay on the ground, and simply pretended to be dead.

After a while, there was a scream from beside him, and a man rushed to his side, spat out a mouthful of blood in his face, and stared at himself with eyes like dead fish.

Liu Ting was frightened and screamed in pain, so he had to hold back and not move, and thought to himself: Okay, okay, this looks more realistic...... Song Liangchen was like a charged machine, the more he killed, the more excited he became, and the iron rod, I don't know how many human heads it had smashed, it was full of broken armor scraps and red tassels, mixed with a lot of thick blood and brain, and it was messy.

The horse didn't know what kind of natural horse it was, but it actually carried him, a brute body weighing two people, and rushed left and right tirelessly.

At this moment, he suddenly lifted the reins of the horse, and the horse neighed and jumped forward, and the strong shoulders of the horse knocked a man into the air.

The big iron rod in Song Liangchen's hand also danced in a big circle, and a loud ping-pong sound and screams sounded at the same time, and the circle of enemy troops around him suddenly disappeared, leaving a few frightened war horses to flee in panic.

Xiao Yunhe followed behind Song Liangchen not far away, and had to shake his head and smile bitterly: This guy is really fierce, following him, there is simply nothing to do!

Originally, I wanted to fight hard to find some boiling feelings, but I didn't expect him to do everything by himself...... What a peerless warrior with one block!

On the side of Dongzhai Gate, Du Tao shouted "Don't panic, retreat quickly", but was surrounded by Li Huaiguang with this elite iron cavalry.

Shuo Fang's iron cavalry shot towards the core round after round, and Du Tao's men and horses suffered extremely heavy casualties.

Later, Du Tao finally came to his senses, ordered all his subordinates to extinguish the torches, and the whole army fought hard to attack due east.

Li Huaiguang saw that the enemy had extinguished the torches, so he stopped riding and firing.

Ordered the whole army to raise swords and guns, and assault head-on!

Du Tao hated it in his heart, and gritted his teeth to rush forward to kill in person.

The gun was still a little good, and it overturned several people one after another, and it tore a hole in the crowd, and with some of the remaining defeated soldiers around him, he fled eastward in the night.

When Li Huaiguang heard that he had escaped from the main general Du Tao, he was so angry that he almost chopped off the pawn who came to report the news.

At this moment, the sound of gold in Xiao Yunhe's military village sounded, signaling the whole army not to pursue the enemy, and to encircle and suppress the nearby enemy troops.

At dawn, the entire hellish canyon gradually returned to tranquility.

Thousands of corpses lay stiff and upright all over the village, bleeding and staining the ground red.

Xiao Yunhe wiped the sword clean on the body of an enemy soldier and slammed it back into its sheath.

Gao Gu and Song Liangchen were in charge of counting the battlefield, and Li Huaiguang with a few cronies and generals had already walked towards him.

"What a victory, great handsome!"

Li Huaiguang's face was full of red light, and his steps were as vigorous as a teenager, "Du Tao this time, let alone lose four or five thousand corpses here, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well in three or five years." It's a shame that this guy ran away!"

Xiao Yunhe laughed: "It's okay to run away." I didn't want to kill him in this battle and kill Du Tao in one fell swoop. After ordering the army, after counting the battlefield, quickly marched south and withdrew to the army's main village. ”

Li Huaiguang was about to answer the promise loudly, when a louder roar came from the side: "Hahaha! Dashuai, deputy marshal, I caught a living oneβ€”this guy is really shameless, hiding in the pile of dead people and pretending to be a turtle!"

Everyone turned an eye and saw that Song Liangchen was carrying a person's foot and dragging him towards this side like a dead fish.

The man in his hand screamed again and again: "General, general, spare your life! Ouch, let go, my head is broken......

Liu Ting was really hard, he thought he could pick up a small life by fishing in mixed waters, but his luck was extremely bad.

Song Liangchen rode past him on a big horse, and the horse's hooves just stepped on his palm.

He immediately instinctively let out a scream like killing a pig, and was naturally caught by Song Liangchen.

Song Liangchen carried him to Xiao Yunhe and Li Huaiguang in a big stride, and threw it away, Liu Ting smashed to the ground like a hemp bag, and his bones were almost broken, and he was in severe pain.

Xiao Yunhe took a closer look and couldn't help laughing: "Yo ho, I said why does this person look so familiar, it turns out that he is one of the three heroes of Hedong!

Liu Ting had already been scared half to death, and now he was tossed by Song Liangchen, and he was almost about to fly out of the sky, and he lay on the ground in fear and didn't dare to raise his head, and said timidly: "The generalissimo is above, and the villain is ...... Liu Ting. ”

At this time, Gao Gu came to report, saying that the battlefield had been cleared, the military village had also been cleaned up, and he could move away just after the order.

Xiao Yunhe said: "Order the whole army to withdraw to the village - escort Liu Ting away, and take care of it." ”

Liu Ting was suddenly overjoyed, and kowtowed again and again: "Thank you for the generalissimo's grace of not killing!"

"Get out!"

Song Liangchen picked up Liu Ting's armor belt and threw it forward, Liu Ting staggered forward and fell a few steps, and was taken away by Song Liangchen in fear.

Li Huaiguang said disdainfully: "Dashuai, this kind of soft bone miscellaneous is simply cut down with a knife, what do you want him to do?"

Xiao Yunhe smiled slightly: "People like him who are greedy for life and afraid of death also have special uses. There's no point in killing him now, and there's still a place to use him in the future. ”

Li Huaiguang blinked his eyes a few times in astonishment, and let out an 'oh' as if he didn't understand, and thought suspiciously: This Han King really has a lot of ideas.

At first, I thought he was just a good talker, but I didn't expect him to be a good soldier in marching and fighting.

With a trick, he easily swallowed thousands of Du Tao's men and horses.

Thinking about it, Du Tao is also a veteran general who can fight habitually, but he planted a big heel in such an unknown way, and was played by the fledgling Han King...... King Han is really a bit unpredictable.

How much more is he capable than we know about?

At the beginning of noon, Xiao Yunhe and the army had returned to the Xianyang military camp.

Li Huaiguang opened the way in front of him, and at this time, he had already set up a celebration banquet to celebrate the merits of Xiao Yunhe and others.

According to the statistics made after cleaning up the battlefield, overnight yesterday, the Tang army killed more than 4,000 rebels, captured more than 1,000 people, and captured more than 3,000 war horses and countless weapons and armor.

Of the seven or eight thousand men and horses brought by Du Tao, only one or two thousand people were left to escape.

The Tang army suffered less than 300 casualties.

Such a silent battle, but the statistical results after the war can be described as brilliant.

The banquet had just been served, and Li Sheng and Chu Yan had also returned.

When they heard the outcome of this battle, they were taken aback.

They didn't even know that there was a battle yesterday, but they reported such a result.

As generals in charge of the army, of course they know how difficult it is to fight such a beautiful battle, but a general can do it without showing his face, and he does it when he is alone and fights more with less.

A soldier is different from a doctor and a nobleman.

The scholars of Daqi pay the most attention to family and background, followed by knowledge and fame.

But the soldiers have always believed only in the brave and skilled warriors who are better than them.

Xiao Yunhe fought such a beautiful battle with a snap of his fingers, which once again impressed Li Huaiguang, Chu Yan, Li Sheng and others.

Before, they may have seen a certain aspect of Xiao Yunhe, or wisdom, or martial arts, or courage.

But I didn't expect that he was so good at using soldiers and resourceful.

Why did such a character not be known in the court and the army before-the three of them coincidentally had such doubts.

But this doubt doesn't matter much right now.

The generals and soldiers in the army have a lot of admiration and admiration for this prince who led the troops, which is an indisputable fact.

The celebration lasted until three o'clock.

Song Liangchen made great contributions to beheading and capturing a general, and was praised by Xiao Yunhe again and again, and rewarded three altars of good wine.

He was so drunk with joy that he was carried down.

Xiao Yunhe summoned Li Huaiguang and the others to discuss the current situation.

Li Sheng reported that he went to Gaoling today and gained a lot.

There were about thirty caravans, large and small, which sold grain and goods to the Tang army.

A total of more than 800 stones of grain and food have been established.

Li Sheng had already sent a team of 300 people to set up a porridge shed more than 20 miles away from the official road of Gaoling to help the people who fled there.

The crowd blocked on the official road of Gaoling has been rapidly evacuated.

Moreover, some caravans that specialized in selling grain from the Kanto and Shannan areas promised to transport a batch of grain over in the near future and sell it to the Tang army at a low price, thanking the Tang army for their generous help this time, allowing them to avoid heavy losses.

Xiao Yunhe heard the news, and his heart was relieved.

It seems that not only has a group of people been rescued, but the plan he has set can also be implemented gradually.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhe's heart moved, and he called to Gao Gu outside the tent: "Bring that Liu Ting up." ”

Then he whispered a few words to Li Sheng.

Li Sheng smiled understandingly, bowed his hand and withdrew first.

Chu Yan and Li Huaiguang were puzzled, and they all looked puzzled.

Xiao Yunhe smiled secretly: "Don't worry, you'll know in a while." ”

Soon, Liu Ting was brought up.

The gray face was covered in sparse clothes and armor, and his face was full of scars from the ground, swollen, almost human-shaped.

When Xiao Yunhe saw him like this, he couldn't help but think of the wolf who Song Liangchen dragged him upside down to the ground, couldn't help laughing, and shouted in a deep voice with a cold face: "Liu Ting, you chaotic ministers and thieves, actually rebelled with Zhu Jun, Du Tao and others, do you know the guilt?!"

Liu Ting had already knelt on the ground, and at this time he was trembling with fright, and kowtowed again and again: "The big man spares his life, and the villain and the villain are also forced to do it! Du Tao is our leader, what does he want us to do, how dare we not listen? The villain also wants to be loyal to the court and the emperor, but he has been suffering from no chance -- begging the big man to spare me not to die, and give the villain a chance to change his life!"

Li Huaiguang and Chu Yan only sneered on the side, and looked at Liu Ting, a villain, left and right, and they almost pulled out their knives and stepped forward to slash him.

Xiao Yunhe nodded, and muttered in a low voice: "There is still some truth in what you said......

Liu Ting suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw: "The generalissimo has mercy! The villain is really forced to follow Du Tao's house! Now the villain is truly repentant, and he is willing to die for the emperor and the marshal!"

Liu Ting shouted energetically, and Gao Gu walked in outside the tent to report: "Dashuai, dozens of caravans in Shannan and Kandong have sent representatives to meet Dashuai. ”

"Oh, you let him in. ”

Xiao Yunhe said casually, and then waved his hand at Liu Ting: "You step aside first, and then talk about the matter later." ”

When Li Huaiguang and Chu Yan saw the person who came in, they immediately understood: What kind of rich businessman representative is Li Sheng's guy pretending!

Li Sheng walked in wearing a regimental robe and brocade robe, a winged hat, and a polite and decent demeanor, and bowed respectfully: "Xiaomin Xu Yuanliang, meet the generalissimo." ”

Xiao Yunhe smiled: "Mr. Xu doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat." ”

The pawn next to him took a horse, Li Sheng thanked him, sat down carefully, and said with a smile on his face: "The generalissimo's righteous act, Xiaomin and others admire it very much." This time, the generalissimo helped Xiaomin and others through the crisis, and we can't repay them. After deliberation, Xiaomin and others decided to bring 100,000 stone of grain to the generalissimo within one month, and sell it to the generalissimo at a flat price for purchases, and give more than 1,000 cattle and sheep to show our gratitude. ”

Xiao Yunhe's face suddenly turned happy, he stood up and said: "Mr. Xu is really a kind and righteous person, and Ben Shuai admires him very much! From now on, if Mr. Xu and the others have any trouble, they can come to Ben Shuai." Ben Shuai will do his best to give you the greatest convenience!"

Li Sheng was overjoyed, stood up and bowed his hand again and again: "Thank you Generalissimo! Xiaomin represents dozens of caravan colleagues, thank you Generalissimo!"

After a few more words, Xiao Yunhe invited 'Xu Yuanliang' to go down to rest and eat, and entertained him well.

Liu Ting kept shrinking in a corner, taking this qiΔ“ in his eyes.

After a long time, Xiao Yunhe went to chat with Li Huaiguang and Chu Yan by himself, and he didn't mention Liu Ting's matter at all.

Liu Ting beat the drum in his heart for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to stand up, knelt down and said: "Generalissimo, generals, the villain's affairs ......"

"You?"

Xiao Yunhe pretended to be impatient and said, "Right now, I have something important to deal with, and I don't have time to pay attention to you." Since you sincerely repent, you will choose a small ministry to do in our army, and you must be a good person in the future. Are you literate, can you write?"

"Yes, yes!"

Liu Ting was overjoyed and responded again and again.

"Oh well. ”

Xiao Yunhe said casually: "After the battle yesterday, the rear army is doing some horse and military statistics in the baggage, and there is a shortage of manpower. You go to the subordinates of Song Liangchen, the general of the Hou Army, and be a grain Cao master. He's a rough man, and you just need to help him with pen and ink. Alright, let's go. We still have to deliberate. ”

As soon as he thought of that 'rough man', Liu Ting felt a few chills in his heart for no reason, but when he looked back, it was better than being beheaded now, and he retreated happily.

Out of the tent, Gao Gu asked two pawns to take him to the barracks of the rear army, and Song Liangchen was snoring loudly in the military tent.

Liu Ting didn't know anyone, so he inquired for a long time before he found Houjun Grain Cao to join the army, reported his name in his hand, and began to do things.

In the handsome tent, Li Huaiguang and Chu Yan let out a burst of laughter: "Clever plan, wonderful plan!"

"It's just a little bit of carving insect skills. ”

Xiao Yunhe smiled and said, "Song Liangchen, a rough man, also has his special use. If Liu Ting escaped from him, it would seem natural. It's just that there are some account books in Houjun Grain Cao, but they have to be carefully realistic. Let him Liu Ting believe it, and then he will take the account book and go to Du Tao to ask for atonement. Liu Ting is such a shameless villain, how could I let him be harmful in our army. Spare him a small life, but use it as bait to catch big fish!"

Li Sheng walked in from outside the tent and said with a smile: "Big handsome, two deputy marshals, I look like a rich businessman, can I pretend to be okay?"

"Hahaha!"

The crowd laughed in unison.

In the next two days, Li Sheng continued to pretend to be a wealthy businessman, purchasing grain in the area of Gaoling Guandao to help the people fleeing the famine.

Not only did he really buy the grain and grass that many armies were short of, but he also won the hearts of the people.

At the same time, every day, many grain trucks were transported to the rear army's baggage camp, piled up into small hills.

In fact, most of them were temporarily transported from other armies, just to hide people's eyes.

The new lord Bo Liu Ting, who followed Liang Cao to join the army all day and night, was very tired, but no one had given him a good look at this soldier.

Especially Song Liangchen, every time he saw him, he either sneered or stared at him and blew his beard, which often shocked him for a while.

In the past two days, Xiao Yunhe urgently deployed various combat measures, and on the other hand, continued to send people to Liquan to challenge.

Jiao Wan, the guard general of Liquan, who suffered a big loss, naturally closed the gate of the village and couldn't shrink, and even Gaoling didn't see a single soldier coming to support.

It seems that the last battle in the canyon really scared Du Tao and others, for fear that they would be fooled and ambushed if there was any change.

Xiao Yunhe saw that the time was almost up, and secretly gave instructions to Song Liangchen and others.

In the evening of that day, Liu Ting had just finished sorting out the account book and was dizzy, and when he looked around, he was the only one left in the military tent.

At this time of the day, the grain Cao had to count the accounts and then report to Song Liangchen, and then report to the generalissimo that he knew, which was a strict rule in the army.

Now that the grain Cao is not in the army, Liu Ting didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to smile bitterly for a while, who let himself be a lowly official now...... I had no choice but to take the account book and go to see Song Liangchen.

Song Liangchen was drinking wine and eating meat in his tent to enjoy dinner, and when he saw Liu Ting appear in front of him, he was upset for no reason, and shouted: "What are you doing here?"

Liu Ting trembled with fright, and stepped forward tremblingly and said, "General, today's grain and grass account book has been counted. The humble post was deliberately used to let the general see. The general took a look, and if there was no problem, the humble duty was considered to have been done, and he could go back to the account to rest. ”

"Damn, I want to rest, rest, and you're more active than anyone else in eating dry food!"

Song Liangchen scolded angrily, wiped the oil on his thighs, grabbed the account book with one hand, and "Take a look at Lao Tzu." ”

Song Liangchen picked up the pages of the account book, flipped through the left and right and looked at it in a pretentious manner, but there was a strange expression on his face, which was simply a big eye to a small eye.

Liu Ting took a closer look, this Song Liangchen had reversed the account book, and then he thought that Song Liangchen might not know how to read.

So he whispered timidly: "General...... The account book was taken upside down. Why don't you read it to the general?"

Song Liangchen was furious like a madman, and kicked at Liu Ting with one kick: "You damn it, tell you to punish it! Are you ridiculing Lao Tzu for not knowing how to read? Look at your bird words, squeezed into a ball with piercing eyebrows, who can recognize it? Go back and rewrite it!"

Liu Ting was kicked hard, he couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't dare to attack in front of this fierce god with anger and resentment, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "General...... Although he is a military attachΓ©, he has practiced calligraphy since he was a child, and this small Kai should still be able to see people. If the general can't see clearly, how about letting the lowly post read it?"

"Get out, get out!"

Song Liangchen roared loudly, and smashed the stack of account books at Liu Ting's head and face: "Lao Tzu has to rewrite it if you want to write it, and you have to write it until Lao Tzu recognizes it." If you don't finish writing, don't want to eat or sleep!"

Liu Ting glanced at Song Liangchen's murderous copper plate face like a lion, and had no choice but to swallow the broken teeth into his stomach, pick up the tent on the ground and retreat.

Song Liangchen drank a little wine alone and laughed hehehe.

Liu Ting was extremely aggrieved in his heart, obviously he was illiterate, but he had to pick his nose and eyes at himself, making it clear that he would not be able to get along with himself.

In the hands of such a person, sooner or later he will be killed alive...... In the middle of the night of the same day, Bo Liu Ting, the lord of the Hou Army Commissariat, successfully slipped away and fled at night with a batch of account books.

Song Liangchen immediately reported the news to Xiao Yunhe, and everyone naturally burst into laughter.

The next day, the wealthy businessman "Xu Yuanliang"

The official's family, escorting more than 300 cars, set off in a mighty manner.

made a big bend and walked for most of the day before appearing in front of Gaoling City.

Li Sheng is a big man, Xiao Yunhe was afraid that someone in Du Tao's army would recognize him, so he let Gao Gu, a strange face, stick a beard and change to a housekeeper's outfit, but it is quite the same thing, even if acquaintances don't distinguish carefully, they are a little unrecognizable.

Gao Gu has always been calm and calm, and Xiao Yunhe specially handed over this important errand to him.

The five hundred fine pawns selected were all disguised as porters, horsemen and subordinates, and followed Gao Gu.

As expected, before Li Sheng, a wealthy merchant, went to collect grain, a team of about a few hundred people suddenly popped out of Gaoling City, and the caravan was 'invited' into Gaoling City.

Chu Yan led people to pretend to kill from behind, but the caravan was already all pulled into Gaoling City, and a person on the top of the city tower laughed: "Hahaha! I didn't expect it, generals! Do you still want to buy food everywhere?

It's none other than Liu Ting, who escaped last night.

Chu Yan was furious, pointed at Liu Ting and scolded angrily for a long time, and it seemed that he was going to attack the city.

Liu Ting laughed proudly, and with a wave of his hand, arrows rained down on the city tower.

Chu Yan had no choice but to retreat hatefully.

Gao Gu, these "small people"

was arrested by the officers and soldiers, and they all pretended to be frightened and begged for mercy.

After arguing for a long time, Du Tao Shi Ran walked out and said arrogantly: "You group of Diao people, you dare to fight the enemy! According to the character of this handsome, I will kill all of you!"

Gao Gu is usually silent, but he is not ambiguous at all when he acts, and then he was so frightened that he cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Da Shuai spares his life! We are just subordinates who run errands for others, and the owners of more than 30 caravans are the masterminds, and it is none of our business!"

"More than thirty caravans?"

Du Tao's heart moved, thinking that there was no reason to offend so many people for no reason.

The people who dare to do business in this area of Guanzhong when the war is in chaos are all supported by someone who is a little ......". Ben Shuai Nian has the virtue of a good life in heaven, but he doesn't want to hurt people's lives more. ”

Du Tao made a generous appearance, waved his hand and said: "You people, leave the grain and grass, and people can leave." Come, take these people to the granary, unload the grain, and let them go. ”

Gao Gu pretended to be nervous and hesitant, and said timidly: "Handsome...... This, since the handsome man wants this more than 1,000 stone grain, then sell it to the handsome at the lowest market price, how about ten cents and one bucket?"

"What? You're really going to have to make inches. Spare your life and still want money?"

Du Tao hatefully raised his whip: "Get out! Unload Lao Tzu!"

Gao Gu and the others suddenly rolled and crawled to the side, and the car flashed quickly.

Du Tao sneered proudly in his heart: At present, the war is raging, and the grain in Guanzhong is expensive, and this kind of white rice can be sold for at least forty wen a bucket.

More than 1,000 stones, that's 400 guan...... made a small fortune.

At the same time, Xiao Yunhe's army was sharpening knives and guns, and everyone was eager to fight.

In the tent of the army, Xiao Yunhe smashed his fist on the low table in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "The plan to secretly cross Chen Cang has been successful-the Seventh Army has been ordered, and the city of Gaoling will inevitably be on fire tonight, at that time, the whole army will concentrate all its forces, and must capture Gaoling before the reinforcements from the other two counties of the enemy arrive!"

"Order!"

Everyone responded loudly, and their morale was like a rainbow.

Late at night, it's quiet.

There was already a curfew in Gaoling City, and there was hardly a single figure walking around.

Du Tao relied on the danger of the city and the friendly forces on both sides to contain each other, and he has always sat back and relaxed.

If you don't take the initiative to fight, this strong iron triangle defense line will be difficult to break through no matter what.

He estimated that with the current state of a general's troops, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream to forcefully capture Gaoling or other two counties.

As long as you do not fight, the other party will definitely run out of food and grass.

At that point, you will be able to pick up the dead fish yourself.

What's more, now that he has learned the secret of a general's army gathering food, as long as there is a caravan, troops will definitely be sent to rob Gaoling City, which is like choking a general's throat...... Every time he thinks of this, Du Tao's backlog of anger and resentment because of the previous defeat will subside a lot.

At the beginning of the hour, when Du Tao and the others were in a deep dream, in the small city of Yunyang in the south of Gaoling City, billowing smoke and skyrocketing fire suddenly appeared, and a panicked scream came.

Even a few miles away, the soldiers patrolling Gaoling City also heard it clearly.

That fire almost burned the sky on that side.

The arrogant tongue of fire jumped several feet high, even higher than the walls and pavilions of Yunyang.

There was also a commotion in Gaoling City - everyone knew that Yunyang was the location of the three armies' military rations.

There was a fire there, something must have happened!

Du Tao was woken up, nervously pushed open the doors and windows to look out, and was suddenly dumbfounded, his heart seemed to have fallen into an ice kiln - grain and grass, something happened!

It turned out that in the evening of this day, Gao Gu and others, who had just finished unloading grain and grass in the Yunyang granary, made some bribes to the Yunyang city defense officers under the pretext that it was too late to go out of the city and find a place to rest, and were allowed to stay in the city for a night.

After nightfall, Gao Gu and the others made an appointment to sneak attack the granary together.

Gao Gu touched it in first with his bare hands, quietly put down a few sleepy guards, led everyone to kill them, and solved the guards here very quickly with lightning speed.

Of the more than 300 carts of grain and grass that were brought in, there were several sacks of saltpeter, sulfur and other fire-causing things hidden in each cart.

As long as it touches Mars, it will immediately burn.

It can supply tens of thousands of people with grain and grass for more than half a year, piled up into a mountain.

In the autumn the weather was dry and the fire grew bigger and bigger, and all the sacks in the warehouse were burned until all the nearby houses were set on fire.

In the firelight, a lot of popcorn burst out of these grains and grasses, and a piece of white flowers flew everywhere, and soon they were burned to black ashes.

The guards in Yunyang City came to the rescue in a panic, but Gao Gu led people quietly into the night, like a loach that couldn't slip away, so that these people couldn't touch a shadow.

In Gaoling City, Du Tao was already angry and sent people to Yunyang to put out the fire.

A large number of soldiers were woken up in their sleep and stumbled towards Yunyang.

It was also thanks to Du Tao's heart, thinking that the Tang army would definitely take advantage of the chaos to attack the city, so he personally rode on a horse and took a large number of soldiers to the south gate to supervise.

But when he hadn't arrived yet, outside the south gate of Gaoling, it had become a sea of swords and fire!

"Shoot the arrows!"

Xiao Yunhe's face was cold, and he ordered in a deep voice.

A row of horsemen rushed forward, drew their bows and arrows, and the arrows with tongues of fire were shot up to the castle tower like rain.

The rebels were already terrified by a fire in the dark of night, and now they were suddenly attacked with such a fierce attack, and they were caught off guard.

Shuofang's cavalry and archery were worthy of their reputation, and several rounds of shooting down, the defenders on the head of the city were killed and wounded, the city pavilions were also on fire everywhere, and the flag battle was also burned to pieces.

With the guidance of the firelight, Xiao Yunhe, who was in the dark, had a great advantage, and the bow and arrow were fired more targeted.

On the other hand, the rebels defending the city, although they had bows and arrows in their hands, they were suffering from the fact that none of the Tang army raised torches, hiding in the darkness and not seeing clearly, so they could only shoot arrows indiscriminately.

The fire of the opponent's arrows was extremely fierce, and many soldiers were already cowering under the city wall in fear, not daring to come up again.

"Siege!"

Xiao Yunhe drew his sword and pointed at it, thousands of soldiers shouted forward, and more than 100 cloud ladders quickly set up the head of Gaoling City.

The most athletic soldiers in the Shence army took the lead in climbing up the city.

The firelight reflected on Xiao Yunhe's thick eyebrows and tightly locked face, showing a bit of fortitude and silence.

Xiao Yunhe is no stranger to this kind of thing.

Even a huge city like Luoyang has been attacked, not to mention the small city of Gaoling in front of you.

At the moment, what is needed is speed and efficiency, taking advantage of the disturbance in the rear of the enemy army, and taking the city in one go.

Du Tao heard the sound of the Tang army attacking the city, and then he understood the way of a general, and he cried out in his heart, and commanded the sergeants to go to the city to defend against the enemy.

The original strength of Gaoling City was not enough to resist the 20,000 or 30,000 people brought by Xiao Yunhe personally to attack the city.

In an instant, hundreds of soldiers have successfully killed the city, like heavenly soldiers descending from the sky!

Before Du Tao could set foot on the city in person, it had already become a big battlefield.

There are few remaining rebel guards, and they stubbornly fight to the death with the Tang soldiers, but their morale is obviously not at the same level.

The timid rebel generals were already a little frightened when they heard the deafening war drums and shouts under the city tower, and now they were all the elite masters of the Shence army who killed the city, and the battle situation immediately fell into a one-sided situation.

Xiao Yunhe's face did not change, and he waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Hit the door!"

More than 100 people hugged a large conical log with a thick encirclement, and slammed towards the city gate with a loud roar.

As soon as Bu hit it, the thick city gate made a shocking loud noise, and the bricks connected to the gate scattered layer by layer of dust, and the gate shook a little, and was smashed out of the scar.

At the same time, more and more Tang troops climbed the head of the city through the cloud ladder, and they also occupied a numerical advantage above the city.

Du Tao came in a hurry with his people, but it was blocked near the narrow staircase at the head of the city, and it was chaotic.

At this time, I heard the sound of the door knocking downstairs, and I was even more panicked.

Du Tao clearly knew that the Tang army did its best to come to a lightning attack, and this Gaoling City was afraid that it was going to be lost!

Thinking of this, Du Tao gritted his teeth and walked downstairs with his feet raised.

At this time, almost all the soldiers in the army in Gaoling City were assembled, led by the generals of all parties, towards the head of the city, and they were near the Daxiao field at this time.

Du Tao rode his horse to arrive, raised the iron gun in his hand and shouted: "Don't panic! The troops obeyed my orders, scattered in the alleys, and prepared for street battles with the enemy!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud bang at the gate of Gaoling City, and it collapsed with a bang.

A terrifying roar of iron horsemen rushed in the darkness of the night.

Du Tao panicked: So fast!

At the moment, there is no time to evacuate the army step by step, so there is no choice but to have a big melee!

"Where is Du Tao? Come out and fight to the death!"

In the darkness, the roar of the cavalry that attacked the city was like thunder, "Shuofang Li Huaiguang is here!"

Du Tao was furious, and hatefully slapped his horse to meet him, and said loudly: "Brothers, go on!

Li Huaiguang jumped on his horse and speared, and his body seemed to be burning with a raging fire, and he rushed left and right in the enemy army with a murderous aura.

At the age of fifty, he is still like a young man in his early twenties, and he seems to have inexhaustible strength all over his body.

As the saying goes in the army, young strong fists, old guns.

Li Huaiguang, who has been using iron guns for thirty or forty years, can be said to be perfect in kung fu immediately, and he is not inferior to young people at all.

And he is bound to take the lead in every battle, carrying an iron gun and rushing to the front of the battle array.

This is also an important reason why his prestige in the Shuofang army is irreplaceable.

In the darkness of the night, the light of the fire flickered faintly.

Li Huaiguang's iron spear was like a ghost in the night, domineering and ruthless harvesting the lives of the rebels.

A shot was stabbed, and a mist of blood burst out of the throat of one of the enemy soldiers, and he screamed and fell backwards to the ground, convulsed on the ground, rolled his eyes and lost his breath.

At this moment, a gust of wind sounded in his ears, Li Huaiguang quickly drew his gun and returned, the tail of the gun was blocked upward, only to hear a loud 'bang', and he was facing a powerful attack.

"Where is Xiao Xiao, who dares to sneak attack Ben Shuai?!"

Li Huaiguang was furious, and before he finished speaking, a rapid shot from the oblique stab was stabbed, and only a slight sound was heard in the darkness, and the person who was attacking him flashed lightly, and actually dodged Li Huaiguang's fierce attack on the horse.

Li Huaiguang was slightly shocked in his heart: There are two hits!

"The capricious old horseman! Hedong Du Tao is here!"

The powerful general on the other side's horse did not fall under Li Huaiguang at all, and shouted in a deep voice: "Death!"

As soon as the words fell, a little starlight appeared in the darkness, and Li Huaiguang suddenly felt that a compelling momentum and coercion were coming like an overwhelming sea, and he secretly screamed in his heart!

The opponent's marksmanship is really amazing!

But Li Huaiguang is worthy of being a battle-hardened veteran, and in the dark, the instinctive Tima flashed to the side, and the shot stabbed him from the shoulder, although he was not stabbed, but it also showed a bit of wolf.
