In the silent night, the deep Huguan City suddenly became full of excitement. Under the command of Chen Gong, the soldiers of Dongying quickly took their weapons and armor and ran towards the West Camp. The shouts of killing resounded throughout the valley.
On the Xiying side, Hou Cheng and Song Xian, who were still immersed in joy, had not had time to send people to kill Chen Gong. Instead, they heard roars from the Dongying side. After the two looked at each other, they felt that it was very possible.
When the matter was exposed, the two men immediately decided to defend the west camp, let all the soldiers enter the camp, let the archers occupy the commanding heights, the infantry blocked the door, and the cavalry followed behind, and they were ready to defend.
The soldiers in Dongying were extremely angry. When they heard that Hou Cheng and Song Xian had killed their general Sui Gu for no reason, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and lost control of their emotions for a time.
"Kill!"
The soldiers from the East Camp quickly rushed to the West Camp. When the soldiers saw the West Camp, they were like tigers coming out of the gate, roaring angrily, covering their weapons and shouting fearlessly, and rushed forward.
"Fire the arrow!" After Song Xian and Hou Cheng saw it, they were already on guard and immediately shouted.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."
Arrows were fired into the crowd one after another, killing a large number of Dongying soldiers immediately.
However, instead of retreating, the soldiers from Dongying quickly rushed to the gate of Xiying with their bodies. More and more people gathered, and everyone exerted their strength together. After shaking several times, the gate of Xiying was blocked by the combined efforts of everyone.
Pushed open, the heavy camp gate directly closed the
Some soldiers from the West Camp who had no time to escape were beaten to death under the gate of the village, while the soldiers from the East Camp quickly poured into the West Camp and fought with the soldiers from the West Camp. Those who were pressed under the gate of the village were not yet dead.
The people were also trampled to death by Dongying soldiers.
Chen Gong stood in the distance, looking at the situation that was out of control. He saw that the Xiying and Dongying were fighting in the camp. Apart from the clash of weapons, shouts and screams, nothing could be heard.
to other voices.
Inside the camp, Hou Cheng and Song Xian immediately led hundreds of followers and retreated into the camp, sticking to a corner and resisting tenaciously. Everyone who came forward was killed by the sword.
Seeing this chaotic situation, Chen Gong suddenly realized something and shouted loudly: "Everyone stop, everyone stop..."
However, the soldiers whose eyes were red from killing did not stop. The people who were fighting each other vigorously attacked each other without any scruples. In just a short while, corpses piled up like mountains at the entrance of the camp, and blood flowed into a river.
Chen Gong collapsed on the ground, looked up at the sky covered by dark clouds, and shouted hysterically: "God, what on earth do you want me to do to satisfy you? God, you thief, why don't you always help me..."
…”
"Boom!" "Crack!"
Suddenly, lightning flashed and thundered in the dense dark clouds in the night sky, the wind howled, and huge raindrops began to fall continuously. The violent storm fell without warning, as if someone had angered God, and God wanted to give him the most severe punishment.
"boom!"
A muffled sound came from the gate of Huguan City. The Yan army, which had been prepared for a long time, set up a catapult in the dark night and violently smashed the city tower, city wall and city gate with huge rocks.
"Wow..."
"ah……"
On the tower of Huguan City, the rain that had just fallen extinguished all the torches, leaving the tower in darkness. The strong wind mixed with the heavy rain, accompanied by the huge rocks emitted by the Yan army's catapults, and the rain falling from the hazy sky.
The thunder and lightning that came were like a kind of punishment, punishing the man in Huguan who was pointing to the sky and cursing.
Taishi Ci wore a steel helmet on his head, wore dragon scale armor, held a halberd with a wind and fire hook, and rode a green lion horse under his crotch. Behind him, three thousand cavalry were waiting in formation. In the pouring rain, he stood there resolutely, unable to be struck by lightning.
, the wind can't blow him down, he can't be shocked by electricity, his whole person looks majestic.
"Boom! Boom! I've been waiting for this moment for a long time!" Taishi Ci shouted loudly.
In the battle to destroy Zhao, Taishi Ci had meritorious service in killing the famous general Yan Liang of the Zhao army. Gao Fei rewarded him with his current outfit, a first-rank official, and an extra five hundred shi in salary. This time he became a left-wing vanguard general.
The whole person seemed refreshed.
Li Tie, Bai Yu, and Li Yulin each led a thousand cavalry, and each thousand cavalry formed an echelon and formed three echelons backwards. Due to the narrow road in front of Huguan City Gate, they could only be arranged in this way.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise accompanied by thunder. After the continuous impact of huge rocks, the gate of Huguan City finally couldn't withstand it and was smashed open. A gate collapsed, revealing a huge gate opening, and the city tower
The soldiers who were on board were also hit by catapults so that they did not dare to show their heads, and some simply retreated directly into the pass.
Taishi Ci had sharp eyes and quick hands. The moment he saw the city gate being smashed, he swung the Wind Fire Hook Heavenly Halberd forward in his hand and shouted loudly: "Whoever goes in and takes Chen Gong's head will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"
After giving the order, Li Tie led the first echelon of a thousand soldiers and followed Tai Shici to kill him. Under the cover of the catapult, without any obstruction from the bows and arrows, they attacked with great speed and speed.
He galloped into the city gate and trampled all the injured soldiers guarding the city gate to death. The horses passing behind them trampled the corpses until their flesh and blood were bruised.
The east and west gates of Huguan City are connected directly. As soon as Taishi Ci rushed into the city, he raised the Wind and Fire Hook Sky Halberd and there was a burst of stabs. The fine steel hook sky halberd was really danced in Taishi Ci's hand.
There was a fierce wind and fire, and all the soldiers who passed by were running away. Those who did not run could only make it less than one turn under Tai Shici's hand, and were stabbed to death with a halberd.
Li Tie wielded his saber in his hand and followed Tai Shici with the cavalry behind him. He swung the extremely sharp and streamlined curved saber to harvest the heads of enemy soldiers at will.
The army was defeated like a mountain. When the soldiers guarding the city saw that Taishi Ci was unstoppable, their morale plummeted and they retreated one after another.
Before Bai Yu, Li Yulin's second echelon, and the third echelon's cavalry had time to rush forward, the enemy army was defeated and the catapults stopped attacking.
Wind and rain shook Huguan City, violent winds and showers shook the sky and the earth. Amidst the lightning and thunder, Chen Gong, who was already soaked all over, slowly stood up from the ground and looked at Xiying, who was still fighting in the melee, and
The horse's hooves brought about a shocking and fast running, and he turned slightly
After turning his head, he saw Taishi Ci rushing over at once, with a sneer on his face. He closed his eyes gently, opened his arms, raised his head, and cursed loudly to the sky: "God! What if there is an afterlife?"
, I will definitely be able to fight you..."
Taishi Ci held the Wind Fire Hook Heavenly Halberd tightly and saw Jin soldiers running around in the lightning and thunder. Chen Gong appeared in front of him at some unknown time. After hearing Chen Gong's shout, he frowned.
He stood up, and immediately retracted the hooked halberd that had been thrust out. At the same time, he shouted to Li Tie behind him: "Vice General Li, tie up Chen Gong!"
After Li Tie heard this, he suddenly felt strange. He couldn't figure out why Taishi Ci, who had always been bloodthirsty, suddenly changed his mind and stopped killing and started taking prisoners. He thought to himself: "Is this the general?"
Do you want me to witness something for him? How did the general change so quickly?"
Without time to think about it, Li Tie rode his horse past Chen Gong and said to the soldiers behind him: "Tie him up!"
Two soldiers were left to tie up Chen Gong, but the rest of the soldiers passed by Chen Gong and were instantly divided into two parts. One part was led by Taishi Ci to chase the defeated soldiers, and the other part was led by Li Tie into the west.
camp.
In the Western Camp, Hou Cheng and Song Xian's subordinates were getting fewer and fewer, and just when they felt that they could not break out, they suddenly saw Li Tie and his cavalry charging from behind. The group of people regained hope and cheered up.
The general was distracted, and the Dongying soldiers who lost their leader killed and captured all the prisoners.
At dawn, the heavy rain gradually stopped, and the golden sun rose in the eastern sky. The wind and rain last night passed away, and in exchange for this morning's Rainbow Bridge.
Red, orange, red, green, cyan, blue, purple, the colorful Rainbow Bridge stands on the horizon, reflecting the mess in Huguan City, looking particularly out of place. The Rainbow Bridge only existed for a while, and then disappeared without a trace.
.
In Huguan City, the soldiers of the Yan Army had accepted the entire pass and began to clean up the battlefield, collect corpses, and sort out all the mess in the pass.
In the official residence, Taishi Ci sat majestically in the middle, with five people, Li Tie, Bai Yu, Li Yulin, Hou Cheng and Song Xian, standing on both sides.
"Take Chen Gong!" Taishi Ci shouted loudly.
"Bring Chen Gong!" Li Tie then shouted louder.
Not long after, two soldiers pushed Chen Gong up, who was tied up with five stripes. After not seeing him for a whole night, Chen Gong's hair and beard were all white, which was quite surprising.
Taishi Ci looked at Chen Gong carefully and saw that Chen Gong showed no fear, so he asked: "Are you Chen Gong, the Prime Minister of Jin?"
"Huh! Why do you ask after knowing this?" Chen Gong said coldly.
Taishi Ci chuckled and said, "I'm afraid I've found the wrong person... I've met Mr. Chen under the command of the Tiger Wing General Taishi Ci under Yanhou's tent!"
"Kill if you want to kill, why bother talking nonsense!" Seeing Tai Shici being so polite, Chen Gong already understood what Tai Shi Ci was thinking, and immediately said, "I am the Marquis of Jin whether I live or die, and the death of the Marquis of Jin is the responsibility of the general, so there is no need for more generals.
It’s a waste of words…”
When Chen Gong said this, he glared at Hou Cheng and Song Xian, and said bitterly: "I'm not like some people who seek glory from sellers and are double-dealing..."
Hou Cheng and Song Xian's faces were dull and they both lowered their heads sadly, not daring to look directly at Chen Gong.
Taishi Ci laughed and said: "Sir, what you said is wrong. As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes. General Hou and General Song are also heroes among men. What's more, Lu Bu's situation is over and he can't protect himself. Can he still protect you? How can I protect you?"
Your husband is so talented that he should have a good future. It would be better if he took refuge with my master..."
"No need to talk nonsense. I, Chen Gong, am going to die. I just ask the general to kill me quickly."
"Sir, do you really want to die?"
Chen Gong turned around, turned his back to Taishi Ci, looked up at the sky, and said loudly: "A loyal minister will not harm the two masters, but the general will do it!"
Taishi Ci had an expression of regret on his face, waved his hands towards the two soldiers, and said slowly: "In that case, I will honor Mr. Quan, push him out, hang him to death, and give him a generous burial!"
"promise!"
The two soldiers turned around and pushed Chen Gong away, quickly leaving the hall.
Taishi Ci sighed and turned to Hou Cheng. Song Xian said: "Since the two generals have sincerely surrendered, they will stay with me as my generals for the time being. When Shangdang is captured, I will report to Yanhou together." , requesting a reward from Marquis Yan. But with the current injuries of the two generals, can they go to Shangdang with the army?"
Hou Cheng and Song Xian stood up, clasped their fists and said: "This small injury is nothing at all. The two of us are willing to serve as the general's front line and can persuade the Shangdang governor to come out of the city and surrender."
Taishi Ci said happily: "If this is the case, our army will be very lucky, and the people of Bingzhou will be very lucky."
After hearing what Taishi Ci said, Li Tie always felt sour. He always felt that it was very different from Taishi Ci's previous fiery temper, so he took another look at Taishi Ci and inadvertently saw Taishi Ci's belt tied around his waist. Holding a jade pendant, he smiled with relief and thought to himself: "So that's it... No wonder General Taishi has such a huge change. It turns out that it's all because of the jade pendant that Miss Ouyang gave him. Oh dear, it's really amazing." , it seems that this woman's charm is so great that she can actually change General Taishi's temperament."
From the corner of his eye, Taishi Ci saw Li Tie staring at the jade pendant hanging on his waist. He reached out and touched the jade pendant, and thought slowly in his heart: "Xiaoying, you said that a real man should be brave and resourceful. I am developing in the direction you mentioned, and when I am able to take charge of my own business, I will definitely propose marriage to the lord, and I will marry you home and make you my wife, Tai Shi Ci."
The Yan army only stayed in Huguan City for two hours. After cleaning up everything, Taishi Ci left only Bai Yu and three thousand soldiers to look after the injured surrender soldiers in Huguan City, and then marched up in a mighty manner. Advance in the direction of the party.
One day later, Tai Shici led a thousand cavalry from the front and arrived at the gate of Shangdang City. The Shangdang Prefect was trembling with fear. When he heard that Chen Gong had died for his country and that Hou Cheng and Song Xian had surrendered, he didn't even have a chance to persuade Hou Cheng and Song Xian to surrender, so he took the initiative. He led the city officials out of the city and surrendered.
Taishi Ci then occupied Shangdang and could write a successful report for Gao Fei.
At the same time, Han Meng's army had already arrived at Jinyang City. Zhang Yang, the governor of Bingzhou appointed by Lu Bu, led his troops to support Zhang Liao of Yanmen, leaving only 10,000 soldiers and general Yang Chou to guard the city. Yang Chou could not resist it. Han Meng's offensive was only surrounded for two days, and he took the initiative to open the city and surrender. Han Meng easily occupied the strong city of Jinyang. Taking advantage of the scouts sent by Taishi Ci to deliver the victory report, he hurriedly wrote He received a good news and sent the scout to Yanmen County.
Yanmen County, outside Mayi City.
Gao Fei set out from Xindu City with his generals and hundreds of people, and rushed back to Daijun in Youzhou without stopping. He immediately ordered the 30,000 Wuhuan Tuqi originally stationed in Daijun to follow him to Yanmen County, directly Attack from the side.
Zhang Liao fought dozens of fierce battles with the Xianbei people and retreated all the way from Shuofang County. Finally, he was forced to return to Yanmen County and garrisoned in his hometown in Mayi. He also dispersed the local people along the way. Later, he received support from Zhang Yang, so he
Mayi was used as a stronghold to block the Xianbei offensive. However, Gao Fei led the Wuhuan cavalry to attack from Daijun. The cities behind them fell into disrepair. In the end, Gao Fei surrounded Mayi city from within the Great Wall.
In the Yan Army camp, Gao Fei received the good news delivered by Tai Shi Ci and Han Meng. After opening it and reading it, a smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "Tai Shi Ci and Han Meng both came together."
It is gratifying that the armies are victorious one after another, but Chen Gong is dead, which is a pity. In fact, he is also a good talent, but it is a pity that he is not used by me."
Not long after, a good news came from Jizhou. After Gao Fei opened it and read it, he said: "Wow, Zang Ba and Wei Yan have also taken over the counties in Jizhou, and Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong have also occupied Hanoi.
We have successfully cut off Lu Bu's way back north. Now that we have achieved victory everywhere, we are the only one left. You all must work hard."
Chen Dao, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Ouyang Yinying, Wang Wenjun, Xu You, Chen Lin, Gai Xun, Wu Lideng, Nan Lou, Qiu Liju and others present all said in unison: "Nuo!"
Gao Fei's joyful face suddenly turned melancholy, and he said slowly: "Chen Gong has already sacrificed his life generously. I don't know what Zhang Liao will choose. I don't want him to make any mistakes. This is a general. I am very proud of him."
Dear, do you have any good ideas?"
Ouyang Yinying said: "My lord, why don't you shoot the news of Chen Gong's death and the surrender of most of the cities in Bingzhou with arrows into Mayi City? This will disrupt the morale of the troops and destroy their morale. Then it will be very easy to attack the city. Zhang Liao
Since the lord likes it, just order his subordinates to capture him alive."
"My Lord, if it's just for Zhang Liao, my subordinates would be willing to go to the city to persuade him," Xu You said.
Gao Fei shook his head and said: "Zhang Liao's mind is unmatched by ordinary people, and he is loyal wholeheartedly.
