Chapter 1,202: Great Victory in the First Battle

Seeing this situation, Chen Laosan knew that he was helpless. He only had sixty or seventy people in total, and more than twenty people had been killed under the city wall. Now there were only about thirty people in cages on the city wall. , but looking at the enemies who rushed up the city wall, there were at least fifty or sixty people, and the leader was a master of fighting. At this time, the cavalry outside the city was only two hundred steps away from the city gate, but his reinforcements But there is still no trace.

"Tun... Chief! Take... next... what should I... do... okay..." The soldiers nearby were so frightened that they could not speak clearly when they saw Shi Ana's skill as if it was coming from the sky. , asked Chen Laosan tremblingly;

Chen Laosan spat at the soldier next to him and said: "What else can we do? Surrender!" As he said this, he was thrown away by the weapon in his hand and said: "Heroes of the Tang Army, we surrender! Brothers, put down your weapons and stop fighting!”

When the others saw this, they also threw down their weapons and shouted to surrender.

Fortunately, they reacted quickly enough. While they were talking, Shi'a's people who broke through the shield wall had already killed all the dozens of shield soldiers blocking the road, and were about to turn around and come to fight against the tower and suspension bridge. Where's the noose.

Seeing the surrender of the Zhao soldiers, Shi Ah waved his hand and said: "You guys, take these Zhao soldiers aside. You, you... go and cut off the noose of the suspension bridge. The rest of you are on guard on both sides. , to prevent the Zhao troops on the other walls from coming to support."

"Promise!" Everyone agreed in agreement!

Seeing this situation, Chen Laosan couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, I saw the opportunity quickly. Now I don't know how many people are left in this group of dozens of people. However, fortunately, my life has been saved temporarily. By now , Chen Laosan finally thought about it, how could these Tang troops appear to the west of him? Aren't they full of high mountains? There are so many cavalry, it is possible that the Tang army flew over from the east of Hedong.

For the cavalry, the distance of two hundred steps was reached in just a moment. Soon the five thousand cavalry rushed into the Gaoping Pass with the city gate wide open like a wind and the remaining clouds. As soon as they entered the city, the five thousand cavalry divided into several groups. Under the leadership of the Shadow Guards, they rushed towards several important places such as the military camp, treasury and the general's mansion in the pass. Finally, there were a thousand cavalry galloping along the main road in the pass towards the east gate of Gaoping Pass.

A moment later, the Iron Eagle warriors, led by Lu Zhong, followed the cavalry and entered the pass. At this time, Shi Acai breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Lu Zhong who came up from under the city wall: " General Lu, luckily you have lived up to your command!”

"Haha! General Shi takes action, Qi You can easily capture him!" Lu Zhong laughed at Shi A and said, "However, the army will not stay in the pass for too long. By then, a thousand soldiers will be left to defend it. At the pass, after resting for half an hour, the rest of the army began to march towards Xuanshi, aiming to capture Xuushi County today. After resting at Xuushi for a night, the army will divide into two groups to attack the eldest son and Gaodu tomorrow. "

"Don't worry, general. I will personally lead the people to accompany the general to send troops to the Xuans. General Lu, please wait while I explain to the general the troop strength and defense arrangements in the Xuans city in detail!"

"General Roshi!"

After that, the two of them walked towards the city tower. As they walked, Shi A explained the situation in the city of Xunshi to Lu Zhong one by one. What made Lu Zhong very happy was that the strength of the troops in the city of Xunshi was as good as the previous intelligence. There are only two thousand people, and they are all ordinary county soldiers.

…

At Pingjin Ferry in Henan County, when the sky was just getting bright, the Guards had already begun to board the ship. Huangfu Chaobo and Guo Jiadianwei had already stood on the building ship. Suddenly, a horse riding Juechen came from the direction of Luoyang in the south, and they saw that While running towards him, he shouted loudly: "Where is the king! Urgent report from Bingzhou!"

Huangfu Chaobo and Guo Jia looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes. Seeing this, Huangfu Chaobo nodded to Dian Wei, and Dian Wei stood on the bow of the ship and shouted towards the dock: "The king is here this!"

The man heard Dian Wei's shout and said,

He immediately turned his horse's head and headed in the direction of the building ship. When he arrived at the dock, everyone saw clearly that it was the Shadow Guard messenger sent by Luoyang. Before the horse could stop, he turned over and dismounted, ran quickly to the side of the ship, and reported loudly: "Report to the king, Bingzhou urgent report was received just early this morning. Mr. Xu ordered his subordinates to deliver it to the king as soon as possible. Come."

"Send it up!"

Soon, the information was sent to Huangfu Chaobo. This was a sealed mailbox with a seal of urgency printed on it. When Huangfu Chaobo and Shi A were not in Luoyang, all the intelligence sent back by the Shadow Guards was sorted and handed over to Xu Shu. After being read by Xu Shu and Xun You, they classified and made the next step. arrange. Like the pigeon letter in front of them, after the two of them read it, they immediately made an excerpt, kept the original, and then the excerpt was rushed by courier to Huangfu Chaobo.

After opening it, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but smile bitterly. After reading it, he handed it to Guo Jia and said, "Last night I was still saying that Chen Gong had Chi Zhi. Today I received a message from Jinyang that had been sent overnight. The news about Wan Dajun. I have to say that Chen Gong is still capable."

Guo Jia also read it quickly and handed the information back to Huangfu Chaobo: "This is such a coincidence. I didn't expect that Chen Gong would see through our arrangement at this time."

"So, Fengxiao, your idea is right. Don't expect to keep such an ancient road secret for long. The sooner it is used, the better. Fortunately..." Huangfu Chaobo said with emotion; "Yuanzhi has acted according to the previously agreed plan. Now Hedong has sent people from Duanshi to send the news of Jinyang's reinforcement to Shangdang. If there is no problem, Tian Yu's army will receive the information after dark today at the latest. Fengxiao, do you think there is anything else to add?"

Guo Jia shook his head: "Nothing needs to be added for the time being. It is a fluke that we can delay the time until now. If Chen Gong found it a few days earlier, our arrangement would still be successful, but the loss of troops would increase several times or even There are more. Now General Yang Feng has sent troops to Queshu Valley to feint, hoping to contain the forces of Taiyuan County as much as possible. Next, it depends on whether the attack speed of General Tian Yu, Huang Wudie and General Dong Fang is fast enough. "

"Yes, now it depends on whether my army is fast enough or the reinforcements of Zhao State are faster. If Tian Yu and his men can get the news in Changzi City and capture or surround it, it will make the war smoother. If the speed is too slow, there will be a big battle under Changzi City. How about this, I am going to order General Qiao Rui to withdraw another 30,000 guards from Henei County to join the battle. What do you think, Fengxiao?"

"The king is wise!" Guo Jia bowed and praised;
