Bright moon out of Tianshan

The general led by Zhao Guo desperately shouted orders and wanted to organize a counterattack. Xiao Jian spotted his position and suddenly flew up to grab him. , Immediately chopped off his head.

When the crowd poured out of the east gate, the Eastern Qi soldiers who were ambushing in the darkness suddenly rushed out shouting together, and there was another burst of hacking and killing. It was not clear how many enemies there were in the dark night, only the sound of fighting and shouting could be heard.In the shadow of swords, lights and swords, soldiers of Zhao State were killed and wounded countless times. They were defeated like a mountain and retreated to the northeast.

The remaining small group of soldiers and horses were mopped up by the assembled dragoon army, chopping melons and vegetables.

On the second day, Jiang Hu had already transported the log.Gao Huai came over with his troops to inspect. Of the 3000 troops, more than 100 people were lost last night, and they were distributed to each city gate, but only seven or eight hundred.He thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "Jiang Hu, can you get a lot of kerosene? According to the records in the book, you have this thing in the mountains here."

The things he wanted were getting more and more exotic, but Jiang Hu said unswervingly: "Yes!"

Gao Huai said: "Go and get some more. I'll count the money for you."

Jiang Hu said again: "Third Highness, I'm out."

Gao Huai inspected the inside and outside of the town, seeing that after several wars, there are still more than a thousand people left in the town who stick to their homes and refuse to leave.Then he ordered Rong Qian: "Go and post a notice telling the people to leave Xin'an within two hours and head towards Mianchi. Anyone who violates the order will be executed."

Rong Qian said: "This... Your Highness the Third Highness, the homeland is hard to leave, if anyone refuses to leave, will they really be beheaded?"

Gao Huai said: "If you don't go, it will be a dead end, why don't we kill it first, so as not to worry about it."

Xiao Jian was not far away from him, and he was terrified when he heard it, and couldn't help shouting from behind: "Third Highness, no! Don't!"

The corners of Gao Huai's eyes twitched a few times, and suddenly he rode his horse back and looked at him, and said with a serious face, "Xiao Jian! How can you say these three words! From now on, no one is allowed to yell."

Xiao Jian saw that he lost his temper for no reason, but he was confused and didn't understand why.As soon as Rong Qian pulled the horse's rein, he immediately followed General Rong.After walking a long distance, Rong Qianfang asked quietly: "Why did His Highness lose his temper at you?"

Xiao Jian said blankly, "I don't know."

Rong Qian thought about it carefully, and tried to persuade: "Is it because he asked you to do something before, and you said no, no, and offended him?"

Xiao Jian said: "I... I really don't know."

Rong Qian sighed with resentment: "Xiao Jian, you're so annoying, you're finished!" The horse-throwing went first, and Xiao Jian followed behind him slowly, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and he remembered Yes, I finally remembered.He quietly turned his head to look at Gao Huai, but Gao Huai had long since disappeared.Xiao Jian lowered his head, his expression became embarrassing, his delicate and elegant face was burning, redder and redder, and finally turned into a shy smile.

On that rainy night in Luoyang, Gao Huai mistook him and hugged him endlessly. At the critical moment, he panicked and seemed to say: "No, don't!"

In the end, whether you want it or not, you can't help yourself.

Up until now, the two of them had no choice but to pretend that nothing had happened. After pretending for a long time, it seemed that nothing had really happened.Sure enough, nothing happened.

Gao Huai has successfully dismissed the people and placed the rolling log and boulder according to his requirements.Xiao Jian was busy behind him, he wanted to ask many questions in his heart, but he didn't dare to go over to provoke him easily. After seeing that he ordered the soldiers to place the log in a wrong position, he finally couldn't help asking: "Third Highness , this log is placed here, far away from the city tower, and the enemy really counterattacks, so it is very troublesome to use. It is better to put it near the four gate towers."

Gao Huai glanced at him and said, "I didn't intend to use it against the enemy."

Xiao Jian said: "Then why did you spend so much effort to get all these things?"

Gao Huai said: "I also made kerosene, what do you think I want to do?"

Xiao remonstrated, "Fire attack? Burn...what to burn?"

Gao Huai said: "Don't you have a very useful brain? What's the matter? General Yang's reinforcements can't arrive in four or five days. We have more than 2000 soldiers and less than [-] horses. How can we deal with Cheng Qiufeng's tens of thousands?" People? I saw that because Xin'an Town is close to the mountains, there are many trees on the mountains, so the people build their houses mainly with wooden structures, get some giant trees, and pour fire oil everywhere, so that when the enemy comes to attack, they first resist for a while. , and then pretended to be defeated and retreated, leaving [-] skilled men. When the enemy army entered the town, they pulled up the four-door suspension bridge, destroyed the mechanism, and then set fire to it. Master Lin Er can look at the sky, I asked He told me that it won't rain for a few days."

Xiao Jian smiled like a flower when he heard it, and said: "Okay, I will stay! I will lead the team to destroy the mechanism, and I will set it on fire!"

Seeing his smile, Gao Huai was the only one who was distracted, turned around and stopped looking at him, and said, "Xiao Jian, don't just smirk at people in the future."

Xiao Jian was stunned, and after a while muttered in a low voice: "I don't even have the right to laugh?"

He suddenly remembered something, looked up to see that Gao Huai had already walked away, hurriedly rushed up and asked: "Your Highness, how will the soldier who set fire get out? Isn't he going to die with the enemy?"

Gao Huai said: "During the war, it is normal to sacrifice a few dead soldiers. If you are afraid of death, don't stay."

Xiao Jian stammered: "I, I, I am not afraid of death, if I want to escape, of course I can't die, but you can't leave us, Third Highness, Third Highness..."

Gao Huai stopped and said, "Xiao Jian, you are such a mother-in-law, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Xiao Jian held his breath and was speechless. Gao Huai turned his head and gave him a sideways glance, and continued: "Outside the city wall in the northwest of Xin'an, there is a lake of more than 200 mu of land next to it. There are many lotus and reeds in it. The enemy Even if the city is besieged, the lake will not be occupied so quickly. This time, the soldiers who can pick up the water will stay. I have asked people to quietly place twenty wooden stakes on the outside of the city wall. At that time, tie a long cable and go straight down Go into the water, with ten soldiers on one rope, there should be no problem in terms of time, and I will respond there." After saying that, he turned and left.

Hearing that he had arranged it properly, Xiao Jian seemed to be making himself anxious on purpose, snorted coldly in his heart, and said to himself: "If you have nothing to do all day, you can find trouble with me, and you don't even look at yourself like that!"

The Eastern Qi Dragon Cavalry quickly occupied Xin'an, and the news reached Cheng Qiufeng, which surprised him.I can't figure out where this strange soldier came from.Xin'an was occupied, along the river valley all the way to the east, and soon you will reach the city of Luoyang. If this threat is not lifted, you may be copied at any time, which seriously affects the morale of the soldiers guarding Luoyang.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Cheng Qiufeng mobilized [-] soldiers from Yiyang, assembled the remnants who had withdrawn from Xin'an, led by several lieutenants, and swept to outside Xin'an again two days later, to regain this important town. .

Zhao Guo's soldiers and horses had just secured the camp, and that night Gao Huai led his troops to rush over suddenly. Fortunately, Zhao Guo had a lesson from the past, and the soldiers and horses quickly rushed up. The soldiers fought and retreated, killed a bloody road, and retreated southwest, but abandoned the city and fled.

The soldiers of Zhao State were overjoyed when they saw it, and rushed into Xin'an Town.But the town was very quiet, not a single person was seen, not to mention the soldiers, and the general who led the team was named Li Yunshan. He suddenly became suspicious, and suddenly shouted: "Get out first!" He wanted to get out with his troops, But the soldiers outside the gate rushed forward. Xin'an is a thousand-year-old town, and the streets are often narrow. It is not so easy to change the rear team into the front team. It was so easy to adjust the team and was planning to go out first. Li Yunshan led the people. When they got to the gate tower, they heard a bang, the suspension bridge was raised, and then there was a loud bang in the gate tower, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what happened.

Li Yunshan shouted: "Who is inside?"

But he heard a chuckle, and he could clearly see from the blazing torches that a young general in black came out of the tower, holding a multi-firing crossbow in his hand, Li Yunshan raised his voice and said, "Who are you? Tell me your name!"

The man smiled and said: "I am admonishing Xiao. General Li, it is very difficult for you to enter Xin'an, so you don't have to go out."

Li Yunshan had never heard of Xiao Jian's name, so he couldn't help feeling contemptuous, but a follower behind him suddenly snorted coldly, and said in a low voice: "So it's this kid!"

Xiao Jian didn't see the man, so he stretched out his hand and pulled out an arrow, and said with a smile: "General Li, I am here under the order of the Third Highness, and I was going to give a big gift to General Li. General Li took it . ” Putting the arrowhead to his lips and blowing gently, there was a soft “bang”, and a flame was ignited.Then he saw him draw a bow and shoot an arrow, but he didn't aim at anyone. What happened was a private house not far from the city tower. There was only a loud noise, and the private house suddenly burst into flames.

Li Yunshan had been watching his every move intently, at this moment he suddenly came to regret, and shouted wildly: "Break open the city gate!"

But it was already too late, the gate of the city was blocked by the soldiers hiding behind Xiao Jian who pushed several boulders down and blocked it, even if they were to be hit for a while, they would not be able to open it.Then Xiao Jian fired several arrows, and the soldiers lurking in the dark followed suit. The town was filled with flames, thick smoke billowing, and the sound of huge explosions. Stop your mouth and nose.

Seeing Zhao's soldiers in chaos, Li Yunshan yelled angrily, "Come out, archers, shoot them dead!" A series of clear laughter from the young man gradually faded away.The man behind Li Yunshan said in a low voice: "Want to run, kid? Don't think about it!" Suddenly he got up and chased after him.

Xiao Jian saw the fireworks and cannons rising everywhere, and knew that the four city gates had been captured, so he called his soldiers to run for their lives, and led them to run northwest along the city wall.

After he hadn't taken a few steps, he heard a few screams from behind him, he turned his head suddenly, and saw several soldiers lying on the ground, all dead.Xiao Jian was taken aback. In the flickering light of the fire, wrapped in bursts of thick smoke, a tall figure stood there quietly, with a big knife on his back, it was Qi Jia, the number one warrior of Zhao!

Qi Jia was expressionless, calm as water, and said slowly: "Boy, save your life."
