Su Zheng, the governor of Xuanzhen County, was sitting in the hall of the governor's mansion, holding the secret report sent by the scout. After hurriedly browsing it, before he had time to express any opinions, he saw another scout walking out of the hall.
"Lord Qi, the subordinates of Gao Fei, the governor of Liaodong, led by a man named Zhao Yun, led by 10,000 cavalry, have arrived in Gaoguli and have set up camp ten miles outside the city."
Su Zheng was of medium height, about thirty years old, with a goatee hanging on his chin. His eyes were filled with anger. He tore the secret report in his hand into pieces, then banged the table hard and shouted: "
This Gao Fei is so outrageous that he actually dares to attack me without authorization? In just two days, he attacked Liaoyang, Houcheng, and now he is directly directed at Gaogouli. Send the order, and the whole city will be strictly guarded.
Take precautions and send scouts to report the matter to the governor, so that he can send troops to quell the rebellion!"
"promise!"
Outside Gaoguli City, Zhao Yun completed his camp at Shilipu. His continuous rapid running made his troops exhausted. In two days, they conquered two counties, and they were all driving at a high speed, with very little rest time.
If the man is not tired, the horse should be tired too.
There were dense flags on the outside of the camp, and the soldiers responsible for guarding were still holding on to the camp as always, but many people gathered inside the tent. Zhao Yunduan sat in the middle, Hua Xiong, Pang De, Zhou Cang, Chu Yan, Yu Du, and Bian Xihuan sat around
, a group of people had extremely excited faces.
"You can take action tomorrow morning. Let's go back and have a good rest tonight. Although we are just here to lure the enemy, we cannot be looked down upon by others. We are the most elite Feiyu Army under the lord's account. We are from the Fourth Army.
I have been carefully selected from among ten thousand people, so I will leave it to you all tomorrow." Zhao Yun immediately handed over his hands and said to everyone.
Hua Xiong said: "Sir, please rest assured, we will never embarrass the lord. No matter what, we are the ones who have followed the lord from Liangzhou to here. But, I am a little confused..."
Zhao Yun asked hurriedly: "Stop thinking about things you can't figure out. I know what you are thinking. Are you wondering why the lord used so many troops this time, right?"
Hua Xiong nodded and said: "Yes, in terms of combat strength, our Feiyu Army can capture the entire Xuanzang County. I just don't understand why the lord has to send Taishi Ci and Zhang He's troops to participate in the battle. This way
First of all, didn't you understand that you are here to steal the credit of our Feiyu Army? Moreover, my lord also sent Taishi Ci to ambush in the north of the city. It seems that this time he is preparing to let Taishi Ci show off his skills."
Chu Yan frowned, held his chin and said: "Speaking of this, I am also a little confused. Even without siege weapons, I can easily climb the city wall with my body, but..."
Zhao Yun hurriedly interrupted Chu Yan's words and said loudly: "Don't say goodbye. Your lord is doing this for his own purpose. In my opinion, the reason why your lord is doing this is just to test Taishi Ci's strength. You can't do that."
I have forgotten that the three thousand elite cavalry under Tai Shi Ci are far superior to our Feiyu Army in terms of archery skills alone. Besides, attacking the enemy with several times the enemy's strength is also a very safe way. You must know
, we are all members of the Feiyu Army, the most elite troops directly under the lord's account, and we must unconditionally obey the lord's orders no matter what. That's all I have to say, what to do tomorrow, I already told you on the way here
I have told you, please go back and rest now."
"No! Your Excellency, please go to bed early. I'll take my leave later!" Everyone sitting there said in unison.
Zhao Yun watched everyone walk out of the camp one after another, and immediately called someone outside the door and ordered: "Go to the north of the city to contact General Taishi and tell them that I will launch an attack on Gaoguli tomorrow at midnight.
Inside, I will lure out as many enemy troops as possible."
"No, my subordinates will go to the place where General Taishi is hiding."
"Well, go ahead, be careful when you act, don't let anyone discover you."
"promise!"
At midnight the next day, Zhao Yun led the army and left the simple camp there, and led 10,000 cavalry to attack the gate of Gaoguli City.
Not long after, Zhao Yun and ten thousand cavalry arrived at the gate of Gaoguli. Looking at the heavily guarded city on the city wall, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
On the tower of the south gate of Gaoguli, Su Zheng rushed over from the city. He stood on the city wall and looked at the dark mass of cavalry under the city. The cavalry had no formation at all and was scattered scattered along the official roads and roads outside the city.
On both sides of the official road, a young general in white robes stood at the front of the team holding a long spear. Behind him stood several generals, all with very arrogant expressions.
A robed clerk on the city tower pointed at the white-robed young general below the city and said: "Sir, that man is Zhao Yun. I heard that he is the number one general under Gao Fei's account. He is the one who conquered Liaoyang and Houcheng this time.
However, this time he dared to come here to attack, and they were all cavalry, without siege equipment. I don’t think they could capture this city at all. My subordinates thought that you just need to hold on to the city, and as long as the enemy gets close to here, use chaos.
If you shoot them with arrows, within three days, this group of people will definitely retreat."
Su Zheng looked at Zhao Yun and saw that Zhao Yun was very handsome. He also looked at the cavalry under the city. They all looked very scattered. Except for the front row, which looked decent, the rest could not be called a cavalry formation.
, rather like a plate of loose sand. After listening to the words of the chief clerk, he smiled and said: "Isn't this guy Gao Fei the one who participated in pacifying the Liangzhou rebellion? This northwest wolf actually dared to beat me, Xuan Xun.
It’s the county’s idea, but this time I want to make sure they never come back.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Zheng immediately turned around and descended from the city tower, mounted his horse with a spear, and shouted at the infantry and cavalry who had been prepared by the city gate: "Come with me out of the city to meet the enemy. We must destroy the invading enemy."
When the chief clerk who was standing on the tower saw Su Zheng coming down from the tower, he just shook his head and said nothing more, because he knew that as long as it was something decided by the prefect, no one could persuade him.
The city gate of the south gate opened at Su Zheng's order. Su Zheng took the lead and galloped out of the city gate. Several generals behind him followed. The cavalry and infantry also filed out. There were three in total.
Thousands of people formed a formation under the city gate.
Su Zheng was from Youzhou and had been in the north all year round. He was a skilled archer and horseman. Seeing that Zhao Yun's cavalry were very scattered and seemed to be tired from their faces, he decided to lead his troops.
Come out and have a showdown with Zhao Yun's soldiers.
"Who is coming? Tell me your name!" Su Zheng pointed his spear forward and shouted to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun didn't even reply. He shouted loudly and then rode out, holding a spear and heading towards Su Zheng.
Su Zheng snorted coldly. When he saw Zhao Yun coming alone, he wanted to show off in front of his subordinates. He also wanted to meet Gao Fei's first general in person. He immediately said loudly: "Crazy people should not be so arrogant."
, as long as I, Su, are here, I will definitely take your head."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Zheng rode out on horseback, and Zhao Yun walked towards each other with both guns raised.
With the sound of "zheng", the two people separated. A smile appeared on Su Zheng's face. After feeling Zhao Yun's strength, he thought to himself: "The number one general is nothing more than this."
Zhao Yun deliberately showed an expression of surprise on his face, but secretly smiled in his heart. He then fought with Su Zheng for ten more rounds, gradually losing his strength with each round and breathing heavily.
After the eleventh round, Su Zheng's spear almost hit Zhao Yun. After the two horses separated, Su Zheng secretly shouted: "As expected of the first general, he does have some skills. However, even if he is like this, he can't win.
I."
After the twelfth round, Su Zheng shot Zhao Yun's weapon to the ground with one shot. His face was overjoyed. At the same time, he saw Zhao Yun turn his horse and run away. The soldiers led by Zhao Yun all shouted dejected words. As a result,
Retreat without fighting.
Su Zheng didn't know what the plan was, and when he was ready to kill, he immediately shouted to the chief clerk on the tower: "I will leave you three thousand soldiers and horses to defend the city, and the rest will follow me to pursue the enemy!"
"Sir, don't chase the poor bandit. Besides, just now..." The chief clerk standing on the tower saw a clue and was shouting to Su Zheng. However, he saw Su Zheng leading the cavalry to chase him out, and the chaotic sound of horse hoofs was drowned out.
Hearing his voice, the infantrymen running behind also rolled up puffs of smoke, "It's too late, everything is too late, this must be a trick of the enemy to lure them."
At this time, Taishi Ci, who had been hiding in the dense forest at the north gate of Goguli City, seemed particularly anxious. He rubbed his hands and paced on the ground, muttering to himself in a low voice: "Why haven't you come back yet?
What on earth is that guy Zhao Yun doing? Does it take that long to lure the enemy?"
As soon as Taishi Ci finished speaking, he saw a fast horse galloping towards him. The knight on the horse walked into the dense forest and came to Taishi Ci. He clasped his fists and said, "General Qi, Master Zhao has successfully lured the enemy out...
"
"The whole army is on horseback and we are going to capture Gaoguli City in one go!" Taishi Ci didn't wait for the man to finish speaking. He turned over and jumped on the horse. He prepared the bows and arrows in his hands and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him.
Immediately afterwards, three thousand cavalrymen, all carrying hard bows and many arrows, followed Taishi Ci and fought their way out of the dense forest, walked to the official road, and quickly headed towards Gaoguli City.
On the other hand, Zhang He's 10,000 men arrived at the ambush site this morning and actively arranged it, just waiting for Zhao Yun to arrive with Su Zheng and others. Behind Zhang He's ambush site, Gao Fei,
Jia Xu was waiting there with 7,000 infantry, and sent people to pay close attention to the situation on the battlefield ahead.
Not long after, two fast horses galloped in from different directions. Two knights dismounted one after another. One brought the news that Zhao Yun had successfully lured the enemy, and the other brought the news that Taishi Ci had attacked Gaoguli City.
When Gao Fei heard these two pieces of news, his face showed a hint of joy, and he turned to Jia Xu and said, "Military advisor, it seems we should take action."
