Chapter 122 Reach out
?Xinzheng City is in crisis. Gao Wu was sent to rescue by Gao Huanhui, and immediately returned to Xinzheng and told his tribe members the good news.
Gao Huan personally sent him outside the camp, and ordered his personal soldiers Qi Dazhu to escort him back to the city, and told Gao Youwen to be sure to stick to it.
At this time, seeing Gao Wuzheng's back fading away, Li Pingyuan standing beside him couldn't help but say, "The eldest young master is really wise. He used a little trick and let them take the initiative to surrender!"
Gao Huan's eyes were deep and smiled, "This is how human nature is. When you tell them to open a window for the house, they are mostly willing to die. If you want to demolish the house, they will happily accept your proposal to open the window."
Gao Huan sent Gao Youcai to persuade his tribe to support him. Gao Youwen was unwilling to accept it. Now that the rebel army came, it not only cost money, but also killed. They also felt that it was actually good to defect to Gao Huan.
Li Pingyuan couldn't help but nodded slightly, but then asked: "High Master really decided to deal with the Chuangjun?"
Gao Huan looked serious, "I can't do anything! If the thief continues to develop, he will sooner or later take us."
Li Zicheng gathered millions and has become a cancer in the world. Now, the entire western Henan and Luoyang are eaten by the rebels.
If Li Zicheng does not stop him, after eating Luoyang, the next step is to eat Kaifeng, then Nanyang, Xiangyang, and finally enter Guanzhong.
After eating along the way, the places where people pass by are suffering from life and there are no people in the place thousands of miles away.
In the 14th year of Chongzhen, the army broke into Kaifeng, Tumi County, Xiangcheng, Shangshui, Fugou, and Taikang. According to historical records, "The enemy arrived and could not defend. The bandits were angry and attacked him, slaughtered his city, and ordered the whole gate to burn himself."
In the fifteenth year, Ruyang was slaughtered, "the scholars and people slaughtered tens of thousands, and burned them all to the public and private houses."
In the same year, Chenzhou was slaughtered, and historical records show that "Guide, Suizhou, Ningling, and dozens of counties in Taikang were destroyed."
After the rebel army gathered millions, the team could no longer expand. The rebel army could only rob other prefectures and counties. The people of those robbed states and counties naturally hated the rebel army, and the rebel army also knew this, so they carried out a large-scale massacre. Even if the people who were not slaughtered the city, there was no way out.
This caused the local destruction and the reason why the rebel army was defeated in Shanhaiguan and had no chance to turn over.
Originally, Gao Huan was a little afraid of resisting Li Zicheng. After all, Li Baiwan was so powerful that no one could defeat him at present.
However, the rebel army gathered food everywhere, and Fan Yongchun conveyed the Qing Dynasty's intention to make Henan more chaotic, which made Gao Huan make up his mind to give Li Zicheng a stumbling block and try to preserve Henan's vitality.
At this time, Gao Huan looked at Li Pingyuan and ordered in a deep voice: "?I will lead my army to rescue Xinzheng this time, you must defend Dengfeng. Now, Xuanyuan Pass in the north has been taken down by us. Don't worry about the north. There is an army I personally led in the east. The thing I am most worried about is the west. According to the scout's return, the Breaking Army led the troops into Ruzhou. It is very likely that the Breaking Army will attack Dengfeng and Yuzhou from the west. If the Breaking Army enters our territory, fight back immediately and drive them out!"
Li Pingyuan clasped his fists and said, "I will receive the order!"
Seeing that he looked tense, Gao Huan was most likely very nervous and had no confidence when he was against the crusade.
After all, Li Zicheng is an old thief who has been active for more than ten years, and has achieved many achievements and is too famous. Dengfeng has just risen in the past year, so he naturally has no confidence in facing his seniors.
Gao Huan laughed and said, "Don't worry, Yuan Zongdi's goal is to harvest grain for Li Zicheng. Li Baiwan's million-strong army is waiting for these four people to harvest grain under Luoyang City to send food and start food. If the food is not delivered in time or delayed, Li Baiwan will go hungry. Therefore, Yuan Zongdi will not fight a tough battle. If we are tough, the army will not cross the line. If they are too weak, they think we are easy to grab, so they will definitely enter the bee pupa."
Li Pingyuan clasped his fists when he heard the words, "I will remember the instructions of the eldest young master in my heart."
Gao Huan said slowly: "Then I will entrust you to Dengfeng!"
??? "I understand!" Li Pingyuan said solemnly.
Gao Huan nodded when he heard the words, and immediately ordered the army to decapitate the camp and leave Mi County. Nearly 10,000 troops were running lightly, and he rushed towards Xinzheng in a mighty manner.
???.........
After filling the moat in Xinzheng County, the rebel army began a fierce attack on the county town.
The soldiers of the rebel army launched a fierce attack with the rumbling drums under the stimulation of the city massacre. Five thousand rebel soldiers attacked the northern city of Xinzheng on a large scale.
The sound of the scrambler drums were like thunder, and the shouts of killing were shocking the sky. The ragged army carried more than 30 ladders and rushed towards the city wall like a tide. Five hundred officials and troops at the top of the city, more than 2,000 landlords, and thousands of civilians worked together to guard the city wall.
Arrows on the city wall are like raindrops, shooting towards the rushing rebels. Those without armor will be injured when they are shot, and there will be heavy casualties.
The soldiers of the rebels rushed under the city wall with arrows and raised ladders one after another. However, when the thieves were filling the river, they had already prepared sufficient equipment for the city guards. The huge rocks on the city were rolling down like hail. The climbing thieves had nowhere to dodge, and the flesh and blood were flying everywhere by the wood and stones, and they all screamed and fell from the ladder.
However, the number of thieves was large, so this loss was nothing. One team of soldiers was killed and injured, and the other team quickly attacked.
Li Zijing rode a horse and stood under the banner of the big crow, watching his subordinates attacking the city. The tenacity of Xinzheng County made him very annoyed, "Beat the drums and urge the battle. Today, I must break the city. Who dares to come down and kill you without mercy!"
The siege of the city heard the war drum urging, and the leader was afraid of being killed by Li Zijing, so he had to bite the bullet and shout, "Roar up, rush up to the city wall, and you will get rewards!"
Regardless of casualties, the soldiers of the rebel army finally attacked the city wall and fought fiercely with the defenders.
Sun Sike was wearing an official robe and a sword, fighting with the bandits. Gao Youwen, who was bearded, also held a knife and slashed the bandits' army.
The Gao family had a Gao Gong, which made the world think that the Gao family was a scholarly family and was all scholars. But in fact, Gao Gong's brother Gao Jie was fighting against the Japanese and defending the city, while Gao De was the right thousand households of Jinwu. The Gao family can be said to be both literary and military.
At this time, Gao Youwen's big sword made several bandits unable to get close to him. He killed a bandit soldier with one knife to relieve Sun Sike. The latter gasped and shouted: "Old Gao, why haven't your nephew come yet!"
Gao Youwen was not sure whether Gao Huan would send troops, so he could only grit his teeth and said, "Fight to the death! You can't rely on reinforcements all at once!"
In the midst of fierce fighting, a "ding-ding-ding" sound of gold sounds sounded outside the city. The rebel army was defeated and retreated hurriedly.
Gao Youwen, Sun Sike walked to the city wall with a breath of breath. When he saw the rebels suddenly retreating, he was overjoyed and said, "It must be Dengfeng who sent troops."
In the camp of the army outside the city, Li Zijing angrily smashed his helmet on the patriarch's case, "How dare you do this, Dengfeng kid!"
Just now, just as Li Zijing attacked Xinzheng, he suddenly received a report from his subordinates that Dengfeng Chi Bei's army and suddenly rushed from Mi County to Xingyang.
Xingyang is outside Hulao Pass, and it is the only place for Li Zijing to retreat to Luoyang, and it is also a place to store grain robbed by the rebel army.
This made Li Zijing stop the attack and hurriedly summoned the generals to discuss.
Wu Ruyi frowned and said, "I just asked someone to inquire. The Gao family of Xinzheng and Gao Huan of Dengfeng are of the same clan. Gao Huan sent troops to save Xinzheng."
Li Zijing was worried about the retreat and the food in Xingyang, so he immediately ordered Wu Ruyi to say, "General Wu, I will give you 20,000 people. You can immediately lead the army back to rescue Xingyang to ensure that Xingyang is in danger."
Wu Ruyi said: "Three Generals, if Gao Huan is trying to rescue Xinzheng, then attacking Xingyang is very likely to be a plan to surround Wei and rescue Zhao, and to fight against the west!"
Li Zijing didn't care about any strategy and said angrily: "Child Gao Huan, if you dare to attack Xingyang, I will definitely make him pay the price. If you go to protect Xingyang, I will lead a large army to attack Dengfeng directly to see whoever takes over whom's nest first!"
