Ke Wu could see Gao Lin standing on the city tower, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. This Shenglong City was a famous city built by him. Needless to say, the city walls were strong. Even the bricks could be used to sharpen knives.
How could such a city be captured so easily by the Chinese army?
"You...how did you get in?" Ke Wuneng asked in confusion.
Gao Lin laughed loudly and said: "Ke Wuneng, Shenglong City is indeed a very strong city. Even if you have an army of 200,000, you can still conquer it. I can tell you clearly that your subordinates are respectful.
Open the city gate and let me in. If you have any complaints, don’t come to me!"
Ke Wuneng was so angry that he almost lost his breath. He looked at Gao Lin fiercely, and in anger, he took out the scimitar he was wearing on his waist, waved it forward, and shouted loudly: "Siege the city! Give it to me.
Take Thang Long City back!"
When the Xianbei people heard Ke Wuneng's order, they swarmed in like ants. However, the Shenglong City was nine feet high and the city walls were very smooth. A group of people could only stand in the distance and shoot arrows inside with bows and arrows.
In addition, the Xianbei people had no way to deal with the closed city gate.
When Gao Lin saw the Xianbei people doing useless work, he just showed a sarcastic smile. When he saw the Xianbei people shooting arrows, he retreated with his shield.
In the doorway of the city gate, there were already a thousand cavalry waiting in full formation. Gao Lin took the Fangtian Painted Halberd, stepped on the back of the red dragon, and shouted sternly: "Open the city gate!"
"Your Majesty, if we open the city gate at this time, I'm afraid the enemies will swarm in and rush towards the city gate. After all, we have few people, so I'm afraid we won't be able to fight." A young captain next to Gao Lin stepped forward.
Block the road.
Gao Lin glared at the captain angrily and shouted: "Guo Huai, are you trying to stop me?"
The captain who was called Guo Huai immediately got off his horse, knelt in front of Gao Lin, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Guo Huai didn't mean this. It's just that we captured Shenglong City. Shenglong City belongs to the Xianbei people."
A pet peeve is the foundation of Ke Wu Neng and all the Xianbei people. Once the city gate is opened, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Gao Lin frowned, suddenly stretched out Fang Tian's painted halberd to Guo Huai's neck, and shouted: "Back off!"
Guo Huai raised his head, made a gesture of daring to kill, and said: "It is worthwhile for me to die in the hands of the prince, but even if I die, I still have to persuade the prince not to open the city gate."
Gao Lin looked at the resolute look on Guo Huai's face and immediately took back the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand and asked: "You are not afraid of death. It is useless for me to kill you. Since you advised me not to open the city gate, then you must
If you have any strategies for retreating from the enemy, please tell me."
Guo Huai looked confused. He only knew that he could not open the city gate at this time. As for the strategy to retreat from the enemy, he really had not thought about it, and it seemed that he had not thought about it. At this time, he thought about it carefully and said immediately: "
Report to the prince, I will eventually think that I can repay the other person with his own treatment..."
Gao Lin said: "How to treat others with their own treatment?"
"All the supplies of the Xianbei people are in this city. There are no more Xianbei cities within a radius of two hundred miles. It is hot during the day and cold at night in the Gobi. There is no food or water. We can hold on without fighting and starve them to death.
, they died of thirst. Now the Xianbei people
Returning is like an arrow. If we open the city gate, we will rush into the city regardless of our own safety. If we wait for them for a while and wait until they are tired, hungry and thirsty, and then take our army by surprise, we will definitely achieve unexpected results."
Guo Huai replied.
After Gao Lin heard this, he laughed loudly and said: "Who said that my king's subordinates are all rough people? You, Guo Huai, are a thoughtful person. I will do as you want. I will let them go for a while. I want to take a look."
, how long can they hold on."
Outside Shenglong City, under the scorching sun, Ke Wuneng and other Xianbei people were already sweating profusely. They walked the road for a whole night and escaped back in such a mess. Unexpectedly, their old nest was taken away. Where are these Xianbei people?
There was no one who was not angry and wanted to go in and kill all these Chinese troops.
The arrows were still shooting, but the shooters became more and more tired. Finally, they saw no response from the city. Most of them died in vain and sat quietly on the ground to rest.
People are thirsty and horses are restless. Xianbei people are used to living here, and they know in their hearts that the sun at noon is the most powerful. If there is no place to hide from the sun by then, I am afraid that many people will suffer from heatstroke.
Ke Wu Neng's throat was so dry that he was about to smoke, so he asked his subordinates to bring him the last bag of water. After drinking it, he felt it was not enough to quench his thirst, so he asked, "Is there any more?"
"The Great Chanyu is gone. This is the last bag."
"Go and search in other places to see who else there is. Dedicate it to me. When I enter the city, I will reward him with ten beauties and make him a powerful householder."
Ke Wu could believe that there must be brave men under heavy rewards, but he did not expect that under such conditions, water would become a precious thing, and he would rather keep it than contribute it. Human nature is
Selfish, Xianbei people interpret selfishness vividly and thoroughly.
Half an hour later, Ke Wuneng's guard came back. With his head drooped and his lips chapped, he knelt down beside Ke Wuneng and said, "I am reporting to the Great Chanyu that no one in the army has water anymore."
"A bunch of trash!" Ke Wu Neng scolded.
On the Gobi, 200,000 Xianbei people were scattered like a piece of loose sand. They used their own clothes to block the sun. Some even set up temporary tents. Everyone gathered together and looked listlessly at the nearby people.
Thang Long City, their former habitat, has now become their nightmare.
There is only one gate in the entire Shenglong City, and the city is circular. There are quite few residents in the city. To be precise, this city is a military fortress, the frontline of the Xianbei people, and where Shan Yuting is located.
However, the Xianbei people live further north, scattered in places with fertile water and grass, and lead a comfortable life.
Another very important reason why Gao Lin was able to enter Shenglong City was that tens of thousands of Han people were imprisoned in the city. They were captured slaves of the Xianbei people and made armor and weapons for them to use in battle.
Last night, Gao Lin's men pretended to be Xianbei and broke open the city gate, then killed all the Xianbei militants in the city, opened the prison cells and released the detained Han craftsmen, so Gao Lin could feel confident.
Just when the Xianbei figures outside Shenglong City were scattered like sand, Gao Lin ordered people to appear on the city tower with buckets. The buckets were filled with clean water, and they were lined up and stood in a line on the city wall.
Gao Lin blew his whistle towards the Xianbei people outside the city, and then shouted loudly: "Xianbei soldiers, are you all thirsty? I see how thirsty you are, and I feel really uncomfortable. I can't bear to see you again.
This went on, so I came up with a good idea. As long as you are willing to surrender, I will give you water and food to fill your stomach. What do you think?"
After the Xianbei people outside the city heard this, no one moved, but many people began to lick their lips with their tongues, and some put their hands on their necks and scratched them with their fingers until they were so thirsty that they were about to smoke.
's throat.
Ke Wu could see Gao Lin shouting like this, and he was afraid that his people would appear in some kind of trap, so he said: "Give me the order, and anyone who dares to surrender will be shot without mercy!"
"promise!"
At this time, Zuo Dadanghu came over and came to Ke Wuneng and said: "Da Chanyu, if we continue like this, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to our army. It's better to retreat temporarily and find a place to rest elsewhere.
There is an underground river about thirty miles away from here, and as long as the water is dug out, you can drink it."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ke Wu Neng said excitedly, "Do you know the direction of the underground river?"
Zuo Dadanghu nodded and said, "I know everything about what Shanyu said."
Ke Wuneng said: "Very good, you can take the ones with horses to find water sources, and those without horses will stay here and continue to fight against the Chinese army. Don't make any more mistakes. Bring the other ones."
After everyone’s water bags are filled, we will return here, and then change the next group of people to drink water. At night, we will launch an attack on Thang Long City.”
"Why wait until night?"
"Idiot, it's so hot during the day, do you want to heat them to death?"
"Yes, Da Chanyu. I understand. I will take people to find the water source."
After Ke Wuneng finished discussing with Zuo Danghu, Zuo Danghu left here with those who had horses. With this departure, about 70,000 to 80,000 people left, and the remaining ones without horses could only sit here.
Consume.
When Gao Lin saw that the Xianbei people had left 70,000 to 80,000 people, he laughed and said to himself: "Sima Yi's guess is indeed correct. This is the only way to defeat the Xianbei people."
He didn't pay attention to it, just shouted loudly, and had people pour water on himself, and took a cold bath, which made the Xianbei people look at him with horror.
After another half an hour, some Xianbei people finally couldn't bear it anymore, dropped their weapons, ran quickly to the gate of Shenglong City, and shouted: "I surrender, give me water, I don't want to die here."
here……"
However, before the Xianbei man could reach his destination, he was shot through the heart with an arrow from behind, killing him immediately.
After seeing this, the other Xianbei people did not dare to move.
After Gao Lin saw it, he had people use ropes to place the buckets filled with water on the Gobi outside the city wall, and asked them to shout for surrender.
Some weak-willed people rushed towards Sheng Long City with weapons in hand. When running, they had to guard against arrows shot from behind. However, more than 500 people ran over one after another, but no one arrived.
The destination was all shot to death with arrows from behind, and blood flowed out, dyeing the Gobi desert red.
After Gao Lin looked at it, he chuckled and said: "Interesting, our own people have begun to kill our own people. After a while, it seems that it will be the time for our army to attack..."
