Chapter 204

Li Dingguo inquired about the captives, and learned that the vanguard of the army actually only consisted of ten thousand people, and most of them were heroes attached to Xiangyang and Yunyang.

This made Li Dingguo aware of an opportunity, thinking that since they are new recruits and exist in a situation of hills, if the team is in chaos, naturally no one will know anyone.

During the pursuit, he arranged for men and horses to enter Xiangyang pretending to be a defeated army, intending to cooperate with the inside and outside and break the city in one fell swoop.

But he didn't expect that Gao Yihuan had the intention of annexing these hills from the very beginning.

Gao Yihuan didn't let the defeated soldiers enter the city directly, but stayed in Wengcheng to reorganize first. It happened that Huang San and Wang Guangtai were more careful, so something went wrong.

After Gao Yihuan got the report, he immediately led his troops to Wengcheng to arrest more than 100 secret agents of the Western Army.

These people were also very stubborn. After they were discovered, they immediately wanted to break out, but the city gate was tightly closed. More than 100 Western troops were hard to beat with two fists, and they were quickly subdued by the high soldiers.

Gao Yihuan was interrogated, and he was overjoyed when he learned that Li Dingguo really wanted to steal the city.

This is God helping him, Li Dingguo wanted to slander him but he didn't, so he did his tricks and slandered Li Dingguo once.

At this time, Gao Yihuan looked at the panic-stricken Xijun who was locked in the Urn City, and felt secretly relieved, and the depression during the day was swept away immediately.

Li Dingguo actually carried it in his own hands, that Lao Tzu is also a famous general.

"Hahaha~" Gao Yihuan laughed triumphantly, and countless figures with torches stood on the city wall.

Sergeant Gao aimed their bows, arrows and firecrackers at the crowded crowd below the urn city, and roared in unison, "Equipment will not kill, and those who resist will die!"

The soldiers of the Western Army in the Wengcheng were full of panic, and looked up at the soldiers of the Gao Army on the wall, their eyes filled with fear.

Several generals looked at the triumphant Gao Yihuan in the city, and couldn't help turning their attention to Bai Wenxuan, waiting for him to make up his mind.

The Western Army had just arrived at the city of Xiangyang, and had almost no time to prepare siege equipment. The nearly thousand Western Army in the Weng City did not bring any siege tools.

They came to capture the city, and naturally the soldiers with swords and spears rushed forward. Among them, there were very few bows and arrows, and they could not fight back at all. However, shooting arrows from all four walls together could kill them all.

At this time, the Western Army in Wengcheng has become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and life and death are all in Gao Yihuan's hands.

For a while, Bai Wenxuan's forehead was sweating, and his face was ugly, but he didn't say surrender, nor did he say that he would fight, but he was speechless with the weapon.

Outside the city, the Western Army all over the mountains and plains, holding torches, rushed towards Xiangyang City, and when they approached the city wall within fifty steps, the city was still silent.

Just when the general of the Western Army was a little doubtful, a few cannons were fired from the top of the city, and a torch was lit between each wall stack, instantly illuminating the wall brightly.

"Rocket!" Standing at the top of the city, Jin Shenghuan drew out his knife, pointed at the outside of the city and shouted loudly.

The archer squatting on the city wall immediately stood up, lit the rocket, and bent his bow like a full moon.

"Swish, swish, swish~" A wave of rockets from the top of the city, like a rain of meteors and fire from the sky, drew a trail and shot down the top of the city.

The soldiers of the Western Army who were advancing were shot by arrows one after another, and there were many who fell to the ground crying.

The soldiers of the Western Army rushed to the bank of the moat and shot at the city with their bows and arrows. However, the Western Army was feigning an attack and did not prepare many long bridges and ladders. Therefore, most of the soldiers could only stand on the other side of the moat and could not get close. city ​​walls.

In this way, guns, bows and arrows were fired in the city, and the soldiers of the Western Army had nothing to cover their bodies. They were hit repeatedly in an instant, and one after another they were loaded into the moat with howls.

In the camp of the Western Army, Li Dingguo in armor stood outside the camp, watching Xiangyang City in the distance, and heard the roar of killing inside and outside the city.

The leader of the Shun Army was Gao Yihuan. At first Li Dingguo thought he was a relative of Li Zicheng's wife, the Gao family, and a relative, but after asking the prisoners, he found out that Gao Yihuan was a rookie who had just emerged in the past two years.

It is said that this person still has some skills. Yancheng ambushed Zuo Liangyu, defeated Runing independently, and this time he acted as the vanguard of the Southern Expedition and captured Xiangfan, but so what?

Li Dingguo's favorite thing is to train rookies, let them know that the world is dangerous, and he is still full of confidence in defeating Gao Yihuan.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Dingguo's mouth, with one hand on the handle of the knife and the other on his waist, waiting for the soldiers to reward him with victory.

At this time, a fast horse galloped to the gate of the camp, jumped off the horse, and ran towards him with swift steps.

Li Dingguo thought he had captured Xiangyang, and was overjoyed, but his face was very calm, as if capturing Xiangyang was not a big deal.

He glanced at the running soldier, his expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but he was obviously overjoyed, he ran as if he had drunk a lot of wine, and his steps drifted.

Li Dingguo was about to ask questions when the soldier suddenly knelt down on one knee and said in panic, "General, something is wrong. General Bai was ambushed and trapped in the Wengcheng~"

"What?" Li Dingguo, who had a calm face, finally raised his eyes and exclaimed.

At this time, two more cavalry came rushing to the camp gate, and the soldiers hurried in after dismounting, "General Qi, the enemy army in the east city is already prepared, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties. General Liu asked the general if he would continue to attack."

The soldiers on the other side reported at the same time, "General, the enemy army in the direction of the south city is also preparing. As soon as the brothers approached the moat, they were shot back by the enemy's bows and arrows."

Li Dingguo was surprised, Gao Yihuan saw through his plan?
For a while, Li Dingguo frowned, but he quickly recovered from his surprise and began to think about the current situation.

The other walls were all feints, in order to cooperate with the battle in the west city. Now that Bai Wen chose to ambush in the west city, it would be meaningless to continue the feint on the other sides.

Li Dingguo couldn't help but feel a sinking heart, he didn't expect that since he was taught a lesson by Gao Yihuan, he would be underestimated.

When the Western Army first arrived at the city of Xiangyang, they didn't have any siege equipment, not even a few ladders. It was impossible for soldiers to climb with bare hands, and it was impossible to capture Xiangyang by force.

For a moment, Li Dingguo couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He originally had a big advantage over Shunjun, and now he was pulled back by Gao Yihuan, and he ruined his advantage.

"Let the besiegers retreat!" Li Dingguo sighed and waved his hands to order.

The torch on Xiangyang City was lit all night, and Gao Yihuan didn't sleep all night.

In the early morning, Gao Yihuan was standing on the city wall, overlooking the Western Army camp outside the city, when Zhao Zhuzi suddenly led a man up the tower.

"Second brother, the envoy of the Western Army is asking to see..."
