Chapter 368 Kuizhou (III)

5days ago traverse Novels 2
Sanma Mountain extends northward, and the steeper it goes northward.

But there were almost no Shu soldiers garrison here, and only the wandering scouts ran away.

Shi Yanchao led a horse and a group of people to climb up the ridge along several roads, and he immediately let out a long sigh.

Shi Yanchao is very tall and burly, and few people are bigger than him; but it is also very difficult to walk and climb mountains with heavy armor.

The sweat on his body soaked the lining, and he felt that the top of his head was so hot that it was smoking.

The armor that Shao Ge'er made was strong and sturdy, but there were many unpleasant things, such as the helmet being completely airtight.

The soldiers were still climbing on the hillside with their horses, but they didn't all come up.Shi Yanchao could only stand and wait for a while. At first glance, he was attracted by the scene of Kuizhou.

Kuizhou seemed to be right under his feet. Shi Yanchao was already looking forward to leading his troops to capture it alone!

Standing at a high place to look at a city is completely different from standing outside the city gate to look up at the majestic city head.

At this time, Kuizhou seemed to be just a field, and the neighbors inside were divided into pieces of field soil, flat and low.

Shi Yanchao looked slightly and saw a large area of ​​Shu army on the hillside in the south. The defeat was like a mountain falling and surging westward like a crowd.Shi Yanchao looked contemptuous and snorted coldly: Vulnerable!

A number of soldiers from the generals came to him and looked down at the scene on his left and right.

Shi Yanchao looked up at the sky, and the sky was clear, so Kuizhou in the distance was clear at a glance.

He bent down, grabbed a handful of sand on the ground and rubbed the sweat from his palms in his big palms. He immediately took off an iron gun made of iron all over his body and pointed at Kuizhou from a distance: Follow me to flatten this city!

Then he led his army down the mountain, and a large number of heavy and light cavalry gathered in the bushes at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, the defeated soldiers of the Shu army had already rushed towards the city gate. Shi Yanchao felt that it was time to get on, so he turned over and ordered the entire army to go out. He rode his horse and led the way out first.

Large areas of cavalry rushed out of the bush, and war horses were jogging happily.The wind roared in my ears, and the target was right in front of me. Whenever this happened, Shi Yanchao was inexplicably excited.

...But at this time, Wang Zhaoyuan led the defeated troops to the city, and the city gate was closed.

Countless people crowded outside the moat and shouted, shouting to open the door.

Wang Zhaoyuan rode a horse outside the door and shouted: Gao Yanqi!Gao Yanjun!

At this moment, a big man stood by the female wall on the city tower and shouted: Wang Jianjun takes a step first, wait at Naihe Bridge, and let's talk about it when it is about to arrive.There is nothing to say now, look back!

Wang Zhaoyuan had known that the Zhou army was chasing him. When he looked back, he saw a wave of Zhou army's horses and soldiers rushing towards him like wolves and tigers.Wang Zhaoyuan became more anxious: Open the door quickly, I will defend the city with Gao Jieshuai.

The Zhou army's horse soldiers immediately killed Wang Zhaoyuan's defeated army. Countless people were driven over, and the city gate became increasingly crowded.

Wang Zhaoyuan widened his eyes and his tone was almost sad: Gao Jie, because you and I are both ministers of Great Shu, you will save my life today, and Wang will never forget it!

Jiangling Mansion (Jingnan) was taken to take the opportunity to take the city gate when he opened the door. I am now opening the city, and the result is obvious.Gao Yanqi shouted, "No one can save you, and Kuizhou can't be defended anymore!"Wang Jianjun, if you still remember the emperor's kindness and a little bloody spirit, the last battle under the city will be over!

The surname Gao, you are cruel enough... Fuck!Wang Zhaoyuan was cursing, an arrow flew over his head. He looked up and saw Gao Yanqiu picking up his bow and hitting an arrow.There is nothing to say at the moment, so hurry up and slap the horse away from the city wall.

...Shi Yanchao shouted and chased the fleeing Shu soldiers. The prepared iron spear shot forward with the speed of the war horse, and immediately passed through a soldier's back, straight through the vest.

He took a spear from his back again and chased after him, but there was no pleasure in breaking the formation, because there were defeated soldiers everywhere, and he felt that chasing these people was a waste of weapons.

A group of people shook the flags in the distance, and one of them shouted: The brave warriors of Great Zhou, our chief general Wang Zhaoyuan admitted to his defeat and wanted to surrender to your army. Please show mercy to the warriors of Great Zhou...

At this moment, a horse-riding messenger came from behind, carrying three small red flags on his back. The messenger shouted: General Guo of the Central Army, the general order, those who surrendered in the Shu army are exempt from killing, and it is strictly forbidden to kill prisoners!

When the Shu soldiers around him heard the yell of the command soldiers, they knelt down and surrendered, and their weapons were immediately lost.

Shi Yanchao rushed to the city with a horse soldier, and arrows on the wall were like rain.

He wandered around the city gate and saw the suspension bridge lifting and the city gate was closed.

The Iron Cavalry fought back with bows and arrows by the moat, but he was rushing but could not make any progress. The war horses were constantly shot to death. Shi Yanchao slapped his horse and turned around and shouted: Let's go!

Shi Yanchao turned to look at the city wall, but felt very unhappy, as if he had punched the wall.

The flat and fragile city I saw on the mountain seemed to be trampled into slag by iron hooves at any time, but at this time it turned into an insurmountable iron wall.

There are no siege equipment, so I can only wait for the army to arrive at the city and make a long-term plan!Shi Yanchao's general advised him.

Not long after, Yang Biao, covered in blood, rode a horse and a team of horse soldiers to the city.

Yang Biao had a fierce horse face, and was covered in blood at this time, and he was even more ferocious and like a killing star. Not to mention that even the surrendered soldiers who were lying on both sides were afraid, even Zhou Jun's own people were afraid to see him.

Yang Biao looked up at the city wall, then turned to look directly at Shi Yanchao, and hummed coldly.

Shi Yanchao said annoyedly: Guo Du’s clever plan, I just acted on order. What can I do if the guard general doesn’t open the city gate?

As he was talking, Guo Shao might have seen the battle ahead, so he came over with his personal soldiers.Guo Shao came over and asked: Where is Wang Zhaoyuan?

Shi Yanchao's general then remembered that someone had just said he wanted to surrender and went to the surrendered troops to find the chief general of the Shu army.

When Guo Shao saw the two generals being there with their eyebrows and eyes, he said: Take people to drive the surrendered soldiers away and take them to custody. What are you doing while standing? It doesn't matter if Kuizhou has not been taken down for the time being. The main force of Kuizhou has been defeated, and at most, thousands of people are left to defend the city, and they cannot be defended.

……

There are only three thousand troops left in Kuizhou, and the city wall is ten miles in circumference. It is not enough to stand one person on the city wall to defend the city.

As long as the Zhou army built siege equipment and surrounded the attack from all sides, they would not be able to defend it; no matter how strong the city was, it would have to be defended.

Originally, the Kuizhou stronghold still had more than 20,000 troops after being defeated in Wuxia and lost its water battle. The Shu Kingdom did not pay attention to this fortress... But today Wang Zhaoyuan placed the main force outside the city, and he was defeated and lost in less than half a day.

There is nothing to do now.

Gao Yanqi left the city and sighed: I can't defend Qinchuan, and now I will throw the gateway to the east of Dashu. Even if the monarch does not kill me, what will I see the people of Shu?

In the battle of Qin Feng, Zhao Jizha, who held military power and was responsible for coordinating the Shu army in Qin Feng and the two prefectures, fled back to Chengdu in a panic, causing the Shu army to go into chaos for the war situation.

Gao Yanqi was ordered to lead reinforcements from Chengdu to rescue, but saw a chaos ahead and knew that there was no cure for the situation, so he led his army to retreat to Qingniling.

That's why he said he could not defend his territory in Qinchuan.

At this time, he saw that the situation was hopeless, so he drew his sword and wanted to commit suicide.The general was shocked and hurriedly hugged him to save him.

The general advised: It was all Wang Zhaoyuan who was the one who was in this battle. He was his majesty's confidant and held the power of the king's orders. He was responsible for the crime. Why should the general take the blame for him?Everyone said angrily. General Gao had long advised him not to leave the city. He refused to listen. Now he lost all his soldiers and generals, which has dragged us down...

Gao Yanqi shook his head and said: What's the use of saying these now?If there is no soldier in Kuizhou, it will be lost.When Kuizhou was lost, the gateway to the east of Shu was opened. Who can bear this heavy responsibility?I am not Wang Zhaoyuan, I have lost such an important place and still have the face to live.

The generals were silent, and some lamented: General Gao is so heroic, he died so frustrated. We also regret you... It is better to open the city to fight to the decisive battle, and everyone follows General Gao and dance with fire!

It’s useless. Wang Zhaoyuan couldn’t hold on for a long time. Our few people were just going to die.Gao Yanqiu said, "It's better for you to take my head and send it to Zhou Jun camp to find a way out."

Gao Yanqi smiled bitterly and said: Anyway, I can't survive. Li Jingwei from Jingnan is the general of the Nanping Kingdom who wrote a letter to us for help last time.Because he strongly advocated resisting the Zhou army, Jiangling Mansion was immediately killed to serve as a warning to You.Everyone should live well, and there is no need to die without any use. I will take one step first, instead of being humiliated and killed by the enemy, I would rather die at the hands of my brothers.

Everyone around was sad after hearing this.

Suddenly, an aide said: It’s not useless. The Zhou army entered Shu and surrendered and rebelled all the way. The Shu people were ridiculed by everyone in the world!Today, I am willing to follow General Gao in the lower class and fight to the death to the death in the city to demonstrate the courage of our Shu people!He pondered again: The situation in Shu Kingdom is over, we are about to die, and the people will still live.If we had no resistance at all, the Zhou court might feel that the people of Shu were easy to bully and could bully them at will in the future!Everyone, we have eaten the fat of the people for many years, raised our troops for a thousand days, and it is time to serve the country with death!

After hearing this, everyone agreed and some people shouted: Our Shu army has not known the war for many years, and some people's armor has rusted. The combat power is not good, but the integrity is still there!Don’t be looked down upon by the people of the world, brothers will rise up!

Rise up!Xiongqi... Countless soldiers around him echoed and shouted.

Gao Yanqi was moved, holding the hilt of the sword tightly and laughed: Since I was waiting for this day, Ma Ge died in a battle on the battlefield, and today I can finally get what I want.

The aide who just made a comment said: I can’t do anything but a pen, and I’m willing to give General Gao a letter to Zhou’s army.I took the letter of war to the Zhou army camp to declare war, and I took the pot first.

Gao Yanqi made a quick decision: He ordered the generals of the city to go to the headquarters of the Central Army to discuss matters, and gathered people in the afternoon, leaving the city from the east gate, and fought to the death with the Zhou army!

Get order!The generals clasped their fists and said.

The staff immediately wrote on the case in the city tower like flowing water, and a passionate article was written from the pen.
