Chapter 109 Second Brother Occupies Runing Middle School
After Second Brother Gao finished his orders, he sent people to guard the outside of the town to prevent the villagers from leaving the town, and then let the more than [-] brothers rest for a while to recover their strength before allowing the army to move on.

"Get up, let's go!" Gao Yihuan got on his horse, and the officers behind him kept shouting loudly, kicking the sleeping soldiers to wake them up.

The soldiers hurriedly folded the blankets, rolled them into a cylindrical shape, tied them behind their backs, picked up their weapons one after another, lined up on the threshing ground, and followed their officers to leave the town and take the official road.

The second elder brother Gao hit the horse and came to Gao Yiyu, and said in a gentle voice, "Yiyu, you come with me."

This action was very important to the second brother. Seeing that Gao Yizhen was a little absent-minded, he was very worried that it would affect his plan, so he was going to go and talk to him again.

Historically, Runing, Nanyang, and Xiangyang were all captured after Li Zicheng defeated Sun Chuanting, taking advantage of the emptiness of the army. Yang Wenyue and Hu Dawei both died in Runing.

If Sun Chuanting still fails this time, Li Zicheng will definitely take advantage of the situation to take down Nanyang and Runing. Once Li Zicheng takes over and sends troops to garrison, then the way for the second brother Gao to develop to the southwest will be blocked, so the second brother must be ahead of Li Zicheng Take Runing.

Runing belongs to the land of Chen and Cai in ancient times. There are large mountains in the southwest and southwest of the landform. The plains are only concentrated in the area along the Ru River. In terms of farming, it is not as good as Luyi. However, the terrain here is complicated. , You can retreat and defend, suitable for the weak and snobbish development in troubled times.

Luyi is located in the plains, and the Qing army’s cavalry came and went like the wind. Once the city was besieged, Gao Yihuan’s men and horses were not as good as the Qing army in field battles, so he did not dare to rescue him. A nail on the Eastern Plain, his main force will occupy Nanyang, Runing, these hilly areas.

If the Qing army attacks Runing, Luyi, Chenzhou and other places will be the nails all over the plain, which can contain the Qing army from behind. While searching for an opportunity, he suddenly rushed out from the forest area, killing the Qing army with a single mistake.

Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, Luyi, and the newly occupied Chenzhou and other places, the defense must be particularly strong, and the Qing army cannot easily break through.

Now Brother Gao has built a beggar's version of the bastion in Luyi, and he will cast the corresponding artillery later. He believes that once it is completed, the Qing army really enters the pass, and if they want to attack his territory, they will definitely smash their teeth.

At this time, there was an outpost to hold back the Qing army, and now Second Brother Gao wanted to find a safe place behind him, a place that could provide him with a steady stream of soldiers and food.

At this time, the second elder brother was caught in the cracks, and the Runing Mansion was more suitable at the moment.

There were originally thousands of officers and soldiers in Runing City, but they followed Ding Qirui to fight Li Zicheng, and they were all reimbursed in Zhuxian Town.

At this time, the troops in the city were mainly the defeated army who fled back with Yang Wenyue and Hu Dawei. The total strength of the troops was less than a thousand, and most of them were wounded.

This time Hu Dawei was ordered to go north, and took hundreds of people away, leaving only more than 500 old, weak and disabled in the city.

This amount of soldiers and horses is not enough to defend the prefecture, but the imperial court has no supply of troops. In addition, there are two counties of Xiping and Shangcai to the north of the Runing Mansion. The position of Runing is relatively safe right now, so the strength of Runing has not been replenished. .

At this time, Yang Wenyue was dismissed from office, and Hu Dawei led the troops to fight. Runing City was guarded by the prefect of Runing, Wang Shicong, and Lu Yifang.

Outside the north city of Runing, Gao Yihuan led [-] soldiers and was approaching with a murderous look.The officers and soldiers in Runing City didn't realize it, except for the guards at the city gate, most of them were recuperating in the camp.

During the war in Henan, the merchants in the south did not dare to come, only some local people came in and out, and the north gate was even more deserted compared to the other gates, and no one came over for a long time.

At this time, a few old soldiers were hiding from the howling wind in the doorway, and a group of people from a distance approached, and a soldier standing on the top of the city in charge of overlooking suddenly froze for a moment, then hurriedly approached the city wall, and walked over from the wall. Stretched out half of the body between the stacks, and shouted to the bottom of the door, "Hundred households, there is an army coming, come up and have a look!"

Inside the door opening, a member of Baihu who was sitting on a chair with his legs on the table was closing his eyes and resting his mind. When he heard the sound, he was startled and almost fell off the seat.He wondered in his heart, did the bandits kill them?But Xiping and Shangcai counties did not warn!

Hundreds of households hurriedly stood up from their seats, hurried out of the doorway, and set up a pergola to look into the distance. Sure enough, they saw an army of more than a thousand people coming towards Runing.

"Quickly, close the city gate!" Baihu hurriedly retreated to the gate, kicked a few dozing soldiers, and then said anxiously: "Six sons, go to the yamen quickly and invite Wang Qian to come over. Zhao Qian, You go to the camp and call some brothers over, hurry up!"

After Baihu finished speaking, he ran up the city tower slowly, and more than a dozen soldiers behind him quickly closed the heavy city gate, and then lifted a crossbar to lock the city gate.

With Runing's defense, if Second Brother Gao had cavalry, he could directly rob the city, but he didn't have cavalry. When he got to the gate of the city, more than 100 men and horses had already arrived in Runing City to set up stacks on the city wall.

At this time, Gao Yihuan was riding on the horse and led the people until they were fifty steps below the city wall. Then he waved his hand suddenly, and the people and horses behind him stopped immediately.

The officers and soldiers on the city wall had already seen the soldiers and horses under the city under the banner of the Ming army, and they were not trespassers. However, they were a little puzzled as to why so many officers and soldiers suddenly came to Ru Ning.

"Is something about Wang Qian here?" The hundred household officer turned his head and asked, but the soldier shook his head, so he could only walk to the wall by himself, leaning on the wall with one hand, and asked loudly: "Brother below, where are you?" People coming?"

He had just finished asking a civil servant and rushed to the city, but it was not Wang Shicong who was the one who worked here, but Lu Yifang who lived here as a guest.

Lu Yifang was an official of the Daming Mansion, and the road was cut off and he could not go back, so he stayed in Runing, "Wang Qianshi and Lord Zhou Fu went to Chongwang Mansion again, borrowed money and food from Chongwang to recruit soldiers, and have not returned yet."

Lu Yifang said something to Baihu, then looked outside the city, "Wang Baihu, what's the situation? Is it from Zuo Liangyu?"

At this time, under the city wall, Gao Yihuan gave Gao Yihuan a wink, and the latter let out a heavy breath, and then pulled out the reins, galloped to the front of the city gate, then reined in the spinning horse, and said loudly: "Hurry up!" The city gate, it's me!"

Lu Yifang and Wang Baihu couldn't help being overjoyed when they saw Gao Yijia under the city, "It's Yijia! Why did you come back with an army?"

Gao Yizhen looked up and saw that it was Lu Yifang who was in the city, but he didn't speak for a while. Seeing this, the second brother Gao behind hurriedly led Zhao Zhuzi and other guards forward.He surpassed Gao Yizhen by a horse's head, attracted the attention of everyone in the city to him, and clasped his fists immediately, "This general is the general under Sun Dushi's command. The governor defeated the intruders in Xiangcheng. Fleeing, the governor learned from General Hu that Ru Ning's troops were empty, so he ordered the general to be stationed in Ru Ning to guard against bandits and protect Chongfan!"

Brother Gao's reason is very good, especially to protect Chongfan, which is very convincing.The people in the city couldn't help being shocked when they heard this, and Lu Yifang was overjoyed, "Where is Governor Sun defeating the intruder?"

When Gao Yihuan came, he had already thought about it. If he said that he was from Zuo Liangyu, even if the officials in the city believed him, he would not be allowed to enter the city. accept.

After Sun Chuanting left the customs, he won all the way. Not long ago, he defeated Li Zicheng in Jiaxian County. It is said that he won another round in Xiangcheng, and his credibility is still very high.

Brother Gao nodded, "We won, but the main force of the intruders escaped."

If he said that Li Zicheng was killed, Lu Yifang would not believe it, but if he said that Li Zicheng led the main force to escape again, he would basically not doubt it, and if the intruder is not destroyed, Runing's danger will not be eliminated, and soldiers are indeed needed Horse protection.

When Lu Yifang heard that Li Zicheng was still allowed to escape, he felt a little disappointed. He suddenly looked at Gao Yijiao and asked, "Yijiao, where is General Hu?"

Second Brother Gao turned his head and gave Gao Yizhen a sharp look. Gao Yizhen raised his head, "The supervisor said that General Hu was familiar with Kaifeng's terrain and asked him to follow the army to chase the intruders."

Lu Yifang had no doubts about Gao Yiju, and there was nothing flawed in Gao Erge's words, he had no doubts about it, turned his head and said to Wang Baihu: "It's windy outside the city, let the soldiers enter the city by opening the city gate!"

Seeing him speak, Wang Baihu waved his hand and said, "Open the city gate!"

The heavy city gate was slowly pushed open, and Brother Gao couldn't help but feel relieved.With such a short distance, as long as the city gate is opened, it will be too late to close it.

The second brother stared at the city gate, and the moment the city gate opened, he waved his hand, "Rush in!"

After finishing speaking, the second brother Gao clamped his horse's belly and rushed in like the wind. More than 20 guards behind him ran wildly, and the 500 people behind suddenly let out a roar and rushed in~
