The soldiers on the city tower looked very frightened. They knew that the archers below the city were very accurate, so they hid behind the battlements and did not dare to show their heads for fear of being shot to death.
A military commander guarding the city gate leaned against the city wall and looked at the soldiers with the same fearful expression. He didn't know what to do. While he was still thinking about it, he suddenly saw someone running up from the steps of the city tower.
He met a soldier. He knew the soldier and was his own soldier. He hurriedly asked: "What happened?"
The soldier quickly came to the army commander and whispered: "Sir, at the south gate... a large number of cavalry suddenly appeared at the south gate and east gate. They are soldiers and horses from Liaodong County."
The Army Sima thought carefully and said slowly: "As of now, only Kaicheng has surrendered. If this continues, I'm afraid the entire army will be annihilated. There is some resentment between the prefect and the Liaodong prefect. The last time the Xianbei people attacked Wangping
At that time, the governor of Liaodong sent someone to ask for support, but the governor refused. I think this is why the soldiers and horses from Liaodong County came to attack us. Send the order and open the city gate!"
"promise!"
Taishi Ci was still shouting at the bottom of the city, and shouted loudly to the top of the city in an extremely threatening tone: "I'll count dozens of people. If you don't open the city gate, when my army arrives, I will kill you all! One...two...
…three……"
Just when Taishi Ci shouted, the city gate of the north gate suddenly opened, and an Army Sima walked out, leading hundreds of remaining people to line up on both sides of the city gate, placing all the weapons in his hands.
On the ground.
When Taishi Ci saw this scene, he sneered and said, "I guess you guys are wise!"
The Sima of the army and hundreds of remaining soldiers knelt down on both sides of the road and shouted together: "General, spare your life, we are willing to swear allegiance to the general."
Taishi Ci ignored it and just waved his hand forward. He galloped into the city gate himself, followed by three thousand horse archers. When he entered the city, he suddenly stopped and pulled out the sword from his waist.
With his sword, he slashed at the soldiers kneeling on both sides of the road.
Following a scream, the subordinates led by Tai Shici also followed suit, killing all the surrender soldiers who were kneeling on both sides of the road. Blood flowed from the city gate, and hundreds of heads rolled to the ground.
The smell of blood permeates the air.
"Follow me to the west gate!" Taishi Ci held a bloody sword and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him.
After giving the order, Taishi Ci led his three thousand cavalry and began to gallop through the streets of Gaoguli City. The residents in the city closed their doors because of fear.
After Taishi Ci entered the city, he quickly rushed to the west gate with his fast movement. The soldiers at the west gate did not notice that soldiers and horses from Liaodong County were coming from behind, not to mention that they were all wearing the same military uniforms. Wait until
The moment Taishi Ci led the soldiers off their horses and climbed onto the city tower, the soldiers stationed at the west gate were all hacked to death by Taishi Ci and others before they could react. The whole process was very neat and tidy.
Heads fell down one by one.
Then, Taishi Ci used the same method to gallop to the south gate, killed all the guards at the south gate, opened the city gate, and let Hua Xiong in from outside the city. The two joined forces and rushed towards the south gate together.
At the east gate, it only took a short while to kill all the guards at the east gate.
Taishi Ci was covered in blood at this time. When he opened the east city gate and put Pang De in, he looked very happy. He said to Hua Xiong and Pang De: "Since you are here, you are responsible for garrisoning the city. I will lead
Send people to support Zhang He to prevent any fish from slipping through the net."
As soon as he finished speaking, Taishi Ci led his three thousand soldiers and horses and galloped out of the city gate.
Hua Xiong looked at Tai Shi Ci's walking figure and said to Pang De beside him: "This Tai Shi Ci is too random, isn't he? Many enemy soldiers clearly shouted to surrender, but he still killed them all. It seems like this
, the guards at other city gates are probably no exception, and this matter must be reported to the lord."
Pang De nodded and said: "The top priority now is to quickly occupy the city. We will discuss Taishi Ci's murderousness after the Lord arrives."
"Well, I will divide my troops to occupy the east and north gates, and leave the south and west gates to you." Hua Xiong said.
After the two men finished their discussion, they immediately separated with their soldiers and dispersed their troops at the four gates of the city.
At the same time, the battle at Shangmaling was still fierce. Su Zheng's troops were completely trapped in a hard fight and were besieged by Gao Fei's troops from all directions. After Su Zheng was killed, all the soldiers lost their backbone. However, these soldiers did not
Instead of surrendering, he chose to keep fighting.
The fighting continued. After Gao Fei's soldiers and horses eliminated about 3,000 people, all the soldiers stopped attacking and surrounded the remaining 4,000 people.
At this moment, Gao Fei led Jia Xu onto the high hill, pointed at the surrounded soldiers below the high hill and shouted loudly: "You have been surrounded, and Su Zheng is also dead. If you don't want to die, just
Surrender quickly and I can save you from death!"
The soldiers looked at each other in shock. After a long while, no one shouted "willing to surrender" or anything like that. Instead, a kind of anger emerged on everyone's face, anger towards Gao Fei.
"Brothers, let's kill together to avenge the prefect!"
As one soldier shouted loudly, the rest of the soldiers also cheered up, and the morale of the army suddenly increased a lot. The soldiers rushed out in all directions, and for a while, the surrounded soldiers let out the sound of trapped animals.
Fighting roar.
When Gao Fei saw this scene, he sighed heavily and closed his eyes, but did not speak.
Jia Xu stood next to Gao Fei and felt Gao Fei's mood at this time. He raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Fire the arrow!"
The archers on both sides of the high hill had already been in preparation. After hearing Jia Xu's order, they fired thousands of arrows and killed all the surrounding soldiers in the encirclement. At this time, there was a sound coming from the middle of the high hill on both sides.
With mournful cries, the soldiers in the middle fell down one after another. Some of them used their last strength to hold up the weapons in their hands after being hit by several arrows...
When Zhao Yun, Zhang He and others saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel a little respect for these soldiers. Everyone felt uncomfortable watching the soldiers wailing and dying one by one.
When Gao Fei opened his eyes again, all the soldiers below the high hill fell to the ground. There were still hundreds of soldiers wounded by arrows who were still struggling to die, but the anger in their eyes was very solemn.
"Hey, why are you doing this?" Gao Fei sighed again, made a gesture to Zhao Yun and Zhang He, and said softly.
After Zhao Yun and Zhang He gave Gao Fei's signal, they led the soldiers to the middle of the battlefield and killed all the soldiers who were still wailing one by one, giving those soldiers a happy ending.
Jia Xu seemed to have seen the weakness of Gao Fei's soft heart, so he comforted him: "My lord, this Su Zheng still has a certain reputation in Xuanzang County. He has fought against the Xianbei people many times, and these soldiers also respect him very much."
.However, because of this, Su Zheng has become a potential threat that must be eliminated. Therefore, please do not be sad, lord. These soldiers who died in the battle will make appropriate arrangements for their subordinates. After all, they are all brave people. However, if there is a war,
There is death, and if the Lord cannot be ruthless in the future, I am afraid it will become the Lord's most fatal weakness."
After hearing this, Gao Fei nodded and said: "I understand what the military advisor said. The attack on Xuanpu County this time is different from the occupation of Lelang County. I have known about Su Zheng for a long time. What Su Zheng did to Xuanpu County
The people are somewhat kind, I'm just worried about how Xuanyuan County will be governed in the future."
Jia Xu smiled and said: "My lord, please rest assured. Su Zheng was born as a warrior. Even if he showed some kindness to the people of Xuanzhen County, it was only to protect the city and fight the Xianbei people. As for government affairs, based on the guesses of my subordinates, it is estimated that
Su Zheng would not do very well. After occupying Xuanzang County, his subordinates were willing to stay in Xuanzang County for half a year and devote themselves to managing the government affairs of Xuanzang County, which made the lord be more kind to the people than Su Zheng. In this way, Xuanzang
The county can then be stabilized."
"Well, that's all." Gao Fei said, "Instruct Zhang He to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the people will go to Gaoguli. By this time, Taishi Ci should have conquered the city of Gaoguli, right?"
After the order was issued, Zhang He was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and burying all the corpses on the hill. Gao Fei took Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang, Chu Yan, Yu Du, Bian Xi and others to Gaoguli City.
On the way to Gaoguli City, Gao Fei met Taishi Ci who came to support him. When they saw each other, Taishi Ci got off his horse happily.
"My lord, the general has lived up to his command and captured the city of Gaoguli." Taishi Ci walked straight to Gao Fei's side and said with his hands raised.
Gao Fei smiled and said: "Yes, you have done a great job this time. However, if you come with troops and horses, who will defend the city?"
"My lord, my subordinates have specially ordered Hua Xiong and Pang De to support General Taishi just in case." Zhao Yun hurriedly interjected.
Gao Fei nodded and said: "Well done, let's go to the city together. After Zhang He has cleaned up the battlefield, we will hold a celebration banquet in the city."
"promise!"
After the army entered Gaoguli City, the people in the city did not dare to go out. Gao Fei ordered the army not to harass the people in the city, and left 10,000 troops stationed outside the city. He himself took Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, and Pang De
We entered the prefect's mansion together.
When he first entered the prefect's house, a middle-aged woman suddenly rushed out from the door. The woman grabbed Gao Fei's collar and slapped him in the face, with tears still on her face.
The soldier hurriedly pulled the woman aside. The woman pointed at Gao Fei and shouted loudly: "You traitor, give me back my husband. I will avenge my husband today!"
Immediately afterwards, another teenage boy rushed over with a long sword in his hand, yelling at Gao Fei and shouting for revenge.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun and others subdued him, so nothing happened to Gao Fei.
Pang De hurriedly knelt down in front of Gao Fei and shouted loudly: "Please forgive me, my lord. My subordinates are not doing things well. Let my lord..."
"Lingming, please get up." Jia Xu said softly, "Lord, cut the grass and root out the roots!"
Gao Fei's face was burning with pain, and in his ears he could hear the obscene words scolded by the woman and the boy. He said to Pang De, "You are indeed unfavorable in doing things, so I'll leave this matter to you!"
"No, I understand!" Pang De said, cupping his fists.
Gao Fei ignored him and walked straight into the hall of the Prefect's Mansion, when two screams came from behind him...
