Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 175 Climbing the City Wall at Night
Hu Luguang has not made any achievements in these years, and only won a man from Yongle County through hard work, and he was often ridiculed by his rival Duan Shao.

He had already held back a bad breath in his heart, no matter what, this time he had to put a Marquis on Duan Shao's head.

It was also because of this that at noon, he took the initiative to break into Gao Cheng's tent to ask for a fight, and tonight he wanted to lead his troops to seize the pass by night.

At that time, Gao Cheng was discussing with Duan Shao what to do after capturing Tongguan, and Gao Jishi was also accompanying him.

Of course Gao Cheng was reluctant to put Hu Luguang in danger, but he couldn't stand Hu Luguang's resolute attitude in seeking a war, so he could only agree.

After getting permission, Hu Luguang looked at Duan Shao provocatively.

Duan Shao didn't cherish his life like his cousin Gao Cheng, he was the first to lead the troops to Er Zhuzhao in the Battle of Han Ling.

For Duan Shao, it doesn't matter if he is provoked, but Hu Luguang must not let Hu Luguang take the lead. When the time comes, if he is really granted the title of County Marquis, he will not be able to slap his nose on him.

So he also asked Gao Cheng to go to the city.

Gao Cheng couldn't be more stubborn, so he could only explain carefully that they had to be more careful, if the situation was not right, they would immediately return.

Seeing Gao Jishi at the side, he couldn't help asking for a fight, but was glared at by Gao Cheng.

At that time there were only four of them in the tent, Gao Cheng said displeasedly:

"One Tongguan will put my three favorite generals in danger?"

Gao Cheng told Gao Jishi to let him stay in the rear with peace of mind and send his troops to join the battle. If his troops took the door, it would still be credited to him.

It would have been fine if Hu Luguang and Duan Shao hadn't gotten involved, but if we hadn't mixed in, Xue Hu'er felt that he had lost his share of the credit, and I complained:

"During Xiangyang, Chen Qingzhi rode fiercely with [-] paces, and you were afraid, why did Zihui value you so much today! You don't deserve the credit for nothing."

Di Cheng was speechless for a moment, after all, he was the one who instigated Xue Hu'er to charge Chen Qingzhi with [-] cavalry.

After pondering for a long time, he was finally brought back alive, and told the eight of them repeatedly that they must be big-hearted, even if Duo went to Tongguan tonight, they would think of a way to survive before.

The eight people also responded in one gulp.

But based on Gao Cheng’s understanding of us, Gao Cheng should have listened and retreated, Hu Luguang might have listened and retreated, and if Xue Hu’er had listened and retreated.

……

The night is dark, the stars and the moon are bright, and tomorrow will be fine weather.

As a special soldier guarding Tongguan, Duan Shao sat paralyzed on the top of the wall, and didn't bother to look at the broken bow beside him.

Heart said: Fortunately, this group of Kanto people stopped coming up at night, at least they can sleep well.

Fortunately, Duan Shao also wondered why a group of guys who could tell they were soldiers from the state and county just by looking at their robes were so brave.

Does the one with a low surname give them eight stones of food a year? What kind of life is he playing?

But when he thought that he was only being taken care of, Duan Shao fell silent.

I also know that the imperial court can be blamed, Kansai is richer than Kanto, and now it is such a disaster year, it is not wrong to have no food, how can it compare with us in Kanto.

After the minor drought, Gao Jishi has not yet planned to tighten his belt and follow the example of the Kanto to pay the soldiers.

There is a way, Kanto hasn't done that yet, Kansai is following, if the soldiers have no objections.

Because of that incident, Gao Jishi scolded Gao Cheng for his lack of virtue.

Gao Cheng is also guilty, if you pay your own soldiers and do something like Gao Jishi, do you still have to go through his refusal?
Duan Shao hadn't heard about Gao Jishi's plan to distribute the military salary. After all, there was a lot of rumors at the time, and the little guy was praising the prime minister's kindness.

But now that there is a minor drought, so few people starve to death in Guanzhong, and there are more households paying taxes, the court has to live in a hurry. If there is hope for the military salary.

Thinking of this, Duan Shao was not a bit discouraged, and thought that the little guy was also desperate, so how could these Kanto people get military pay? The eight stones of food that were originally dismissed also made me jealous.

Duan Shao murmured and complained, then turned around and spit into the city wall:

"Bah! Is it okay to have no money?"

In the low city wall, a head unexpectedly appeared at that time, facing Duan Shao with seven eyes.

Still waiting for Duan Shao to respond, Yu Wentai swung the steel knife and knocked me to the ground. .

The man's complaining to himself was really low, even Yu Wentai could hear it clearly when he was climbing the long ladder.

Yu Wentai jumped down the city wall, and threw a sentence at Duan Shao's corpse:
"It's really a blessing to have no money."

Then he raised his knife and fought with the startled defenders. In front of Yu Wentai, including his sister-in-law Zhang Mo and his old friend Liu Yanshou, a group of people climbed down the simple long ladder.

Tongguan is located on a mountain plateau, and the ladders in the four directions are coming down and coming up, including the simple long ladders used by the soldiers and ants of the prefectures and counties to attack the city during the day.

We were forced to take advantage of the night, and when the Tongguan defenders lost their vigilance, we carried a long ladder to climb up the city wall.

In the attack on the city tonight, only Si Jingshu and our Gaocheng tribe were mobilized. None of the Gyeonggi soldiers participated, and no Eastern Wei soldiers climbed and fought anywhere on the city wall.

The warning screams of the defenders pierced through the long night, Yu Wentai slashed with a steel knife so hard that it was about to curl, and he and his comrades finally defended the entrance point.

General Gao Cheng is not climbing yet, but nearby, a figure that Yu Wentai has seen for a few times has not yet jumped off the top of the wall.

Hu Luguang was the one who waited patiently for Gao Cheng to climb down, and I led the people straight to the stairway to kill.

And Si Jingshu didn't fight the defenders at the stairway after me.

The choice of the eight people was just like what Gao Cheng had guessed later, Si Jing listened to Gao Cheng's words, and waited for the troops to gain a firm foothold under the city wall before climbing up the city.

Hu Luguang also listened to Gao Cheng's advice, but he was eager to make meritorious service, so he went to the city with his followers.

And Xue Hu'er put safety and danger at heart at all, drank a jug of wine after the battle, and the reckless man played first.

When Hu Luguang joined me, Xue Hu'er was traumatized by Huo Shao.

The two followed the troops who climbed down the city wall and fought with the defenders, and the defenders gradually became weak.

Originally, the group of Tongguan garrison soldiers were elite soldiers. Without the consumption of offense and defense during the day, they were no match for the soldiers of the Gyeonggi Army who had recuperated all day.

Before Gao Cheng also rushed over to join Hu Luguang and Si Jingshu, the eight of them fought side by side, killing them all the way up from under the city wall along the stairway.

When the eight-member army was able to deploy, the Tongguan defenders finally ended their collapse.

The eight did not pursue, but went together to seize control of the city gate.

But in Tongguan, low and anxious.

Before Tongguan resounded with the sound of fighting, I put my whole heart on it.

The state and county soldiers are still resting, and Murong Shaozong and Dugu Yongye's Gyeonggi soldiers and Ke Zhu Hunyuan and Hou Yuan's trilogy have not yet lit the torches, waiting for the small gate of Tongguan to be pulled up.

Seeing Hu Luguang and other eight people gain a firm foothold at the top of the city, those young generals actually understand that we have not won the victory of breaking the city. The only question is who will get it.

Ask yourself, if such an opportunity is given to yourself, you can also grasp it.

But even if it's Gan, there's nothing he can do, and none of the eight brats have a relationship with Gao Cheng.

Hou Yuan secretly said in his heart:

At that time, when I heard that the Hou and above were granted the title of County Marquis, I should have known that the credit was specially set up for those eight people.

After thinking about it, he was relieved, the eight people closest to Gao Cheng had to take risks in order to win the title, so there was nothing to complain about.

　Going to catch a high-speed rail, the number of words is a little less, and I will update it at night.
