Chapter 826
Yan Hong was the old man who had been saved by Gao Chi and his subordinates with their lives but turned against them at this moment. Thousands of people left Xuantu County and led by Yan Hong to go straight outside the Goguli camp not far from the city. Yan Hong came to the gate and bowed to the Goguli officer guarding the gate in Goguli in Goguli's words and said, "Please tell Your Majesty the King of Goguli on your behalf. We are all people from Xuantu County. Responding to Your Majesty's call, we come and defect to Your Majesty!" The officer looked at him and shouted, "Wait!" Then he turned around and ran to the tent.
When the officer rushed into the tent, Gao Tai, the King of Gogurye, was talking to Defang. The officer bowed to Gao Tai and said, "Report to Your Majesty, thousands of Han people came outside, saying that they were in response to Your Majesty's call and came to your Majesty to join Your Majesty!"
Gao Tai was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Is Gao Qiao here?" The officer shook his head and said: "I didn't see it. The leader was an old man in Confucian clothes, and I don't know what his name was."
Gao Tai couldn't help frowning and muttered, "Didn't Gao Qiao come? Could it be that he still has to resist stubbornly? Since that's the case, how can these people come out?" Defang, who was standing beside him, smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Why don't your majesty summon this person to ask?" Gao Tai nodded and said to the officer, "Bring the leader in me. Remember, treat him with courtesy." The officer replied, and he was almost out of the way.
A moment later, Gao Tai Defang saw an old man in Confucian clothes being brought in by an officer. The two of them couldn't help but look at the man. Yan Hong had seen Gao Tai from afar. At this moment, he saw Gao Tai in front of him. He felt panic, his legs became weak, and he knelt down on the ground with a thump, kowtowed and said, "Xiaomin Yan Hong pays homage to His Majesty the King, long live His Majesty!"
Gao Tai laughed happily and said, "You don't have to be too polite, get up and talk." Yan Hong was only flattered, hurriedly thanked, stood up, and said respectfully: "Xiaomin abandons the darkness and goes to the light, and comes to serve the king!" Gao Tai smiled and said, "I am very happy that you can have this enlightenment and go to the light." Then he asked with concern: "Since you are here to vote, why is Gao Qiao going to the future?"
Yan Hong said with anger: "This man is obsessed with it and insists on serving the evil thief of the three surnames of Lu Bu! He wants to go all the way to the dark!"
When Gao Tai heard this, he frowned and looked a little unhappy. No wonder. His main purpose was to dismantle Gao Qiao's resistance and take down Xuantu County, not to recruit these Han people who seemed worthless to him. However, Gao Qiao surrendered in the future. Wouldn't this plan be all failed? Then he remembered another thing, looked at Yan Hong with a suspicion, and said, "Since Gao Qiao is obsessed with it and takes his own life, how did you come out? Could it be that Gao Qiao would let you out of the city?"
When Yan Hong heard this, his heart skipped a beat, afraid that Gao Tai would misunderstand, so he quickly explained: "Your Majesty has something to know! As soon as Your Majesty's arrow book arrived, the whole city was in full swing, and everyone asked to leave the city to serve Your Majesty. Gao Qiao could not resist it, and was worried that the situation of causing civil unrest could not be cured, so he had to open the city gate! Therefore, we were able to escape from the city!" Gao Tai felt relieved when he heard this.
Defang smiled and said to Gao Tai: "Your Majesty. Although this plan failed to take down Xuantu County in one fell swoop, it has already dismantled the enemy's fighting spirit. If you fight again tomorrow, you will definitely go down in one go."
Gao Tai couldn't help asking, "Why did the military advisor say this?" Defang smiled and said, "Although Gao Qiao is still fighting stubbornly, for this matter, the morale of his officers and soldiers will inevitably be shaken, and his morale will inevitably collapse. Is it all that he is afraid that the army will be in a hurry to fight. The army depends on morale. Now that his army's morale has collapsed, isn't it as simple as taking out a bag?" Yan Hong quickly echoed: "What the military advisor said is so yes! Your Majesty's lion brigade can defeat Gao Qiao and capture Xuantu County in one go!" Gao Tai couldn't help laughing after hearing the two of them. Then he ordered people to order the three armies to rest for a night and seize Xuantu County in one fell swoop tomorrow morning. Then he sent people to transport rice and grain to settle the Han people who came to join him. The Han people were grateful, and there was a lot of thankful cheers at the scene.
The night passed quietly. Early the next morning, just as the sky was dawn, the sound of the war drums of the Goguli people broke the tranquility of the morning. The Goguli camp opened wide, and nearly 200,000 Goguli troops rushed out to Xuantu County. The momentum was fierce, as if they could flood the city in an instant. The Han people who defected to the Goguli people were arranged by Gao Tai to beside the army, shaking flags and cheering for them.
The army of Goguryeo entered the city and formed a large formation. Gaotai sent a general to go straight to the city gate and shouted at the city gate tower: "Listen to the people in the city, Your Majesty the King is kind and righteous. You will surrender quickly to protect your wealth and life. If you dare to delay and ignore it, you will definitely kill you and others without leaving any armor!" As soon as he finished speaking, a whoosh suddenly came from the city gate tower. The general of Goguryeo who was shouting was shot in the chest by a sharp arrow before he could react. He fell off his horse and died tragically on the spot. The horse that lost his master turned around and ran back.
Seeing this, Gao Tai was shocked and angry and shouted: "Attack!"
The sound of the war drums of the Gogurye people suddenly rumbled. The Gogurye people rushed to the city wall like a tide. In a blink of an eye, the rain of arrows covered the sky, and the Gogurye officers and soldiers, like ants, flew along the cloud ladder and flew straight up to the city. After a while, many places on the city were in a fierce battle. The fierce Gogurye people attacked one wave higher than one wave and looked like they wanted to break the city in one fell swoop, while the soldiers and civilians guarding the city fought to the death under the leadership of Gao Qiao! The city was full of swords and swords and flesh flying everywhere, screams and howlings like beasts, and people kept falling from the city, making a terrifying scream across the sky above the entire battlefield!
The Gogurye Li army continued to attack fiercely, and time was unknowingly noon. The attack of the Gogurye Li people did not weaken at all. The entire north and east walls seemed to be boiling violently, and the city walls seemed to be about to be melted. The corpses piled up and down the city head were piled up like mountains, and the Qin army seemed to be unable to hold on.
Yan Hong and others who were watching the battle on the side were frightened and trembled with fear. Then the feeling of gratitude could not help but surged into their hearts, and they felt that the soldiers and civilians of Xuantu County were already doomed, and because they made the right choice, they escaped the disaster. At this point, while taking a chance, they couldn't help but feel gloating. They felt that the stubborn fools and wives in the city were finally going to pay the price for their stupidity. Yan Hong and others really wanted to see the ridiculous appearance of those fools and wives who regretted it.
Seeing that the army had been attacking fiercely for most of the day, but had suffered heavy losses but could not break through the city, Gao Tai couldn't help but become anxious. He immediately ordered Li Qingquan to lead the wolf army to attack, and it was necessary to break through Xuantu County before sunset today. The sound of war drums sounded even louder, and Li Qingquan personally led the wolf army into the battlefield. The offensive of the Goguli army was several points higher than before. The Goguli officers and soldiers continued to rush to the city like a tide, attacking the defenders on the city. The defenders fought to the death and fought fiercely. The two sides fought fiercely on the city, with swords and swords flying everywhere, reflecting the crazy faces of the officers and soldiers on both sides! The scene of corpses piled up like mountains of blood and blood flowing on the city.
The Qin army officers and soldiers were killed and killed on the top of a city. Seeing that the Goguryeo people were rushing up to occupy the city. At this moment, the seriously injured and dying Qin army officer actually threw a torch into the turbulent barrel beside him. With a bang, huge flames gury up. The unexpectedly guarded Goguryeo officers and soldiers were ignited and dozens of people were ignited. They were so burned that they ran around. Several people rushed out of the city wall and fell down in a panic!
In just a moment, Gao Qiao personally led a group of troops to the top of the city and fought desperately against the enemy. The enemy could not hold on to the ground and was killed so that he rolled around and crawled away from the city wall.
Gao Qiao ran to the officer, picked him up, and shouted, "Brother! Brother!" The officer's bloody face showed a smile, and then his head tilted and died. Gao Qiao only felt an indescribable anger surge into his heart, and he couldn't help but roaring to the sky.
The fierce battle continued, and the Gogurye Army continued to pounce on the city with its superior forces. The Qin army tried its best to fight to the death, and it had reached the point where the oil was exhausted! The officer fought to the last breath and died with the battle flag; the seriously injured soldier used his remaining strength to hug the enemy and fell to the city! A seriously injured officer leaned against the wall on the inside, and his eyes were stained with blood. The officer subconsciously wanted to get up to fight, but his body seemed to be no longer his own. No matter how he wanted to stand up, his body was not obedient at all, and his vision gradually blurred!
Just as he was about to lose consciousness, he seemed to see countless people rushing to the city with scythes and other objects to resist Gogurye's soldiers. The officer turned his head and died.
Just when the Qin army was at its most critical moment, all men, women, young and old in the city spontaneously rushed to the city to help the battle, and actually curbed the fierce offensive of the Goguryuli army.
...
As the sun sets, the corpses above and below the city are piled up like mountains of blood, and the whole world is as if stained with blood. The Gogurye Army is no longer in power and slowly retreats into the camp with the sound of the golden bell. The Qin army officers and soldiers who have long been unable to support them fall down one by one. The screams and sorrows of the people are one after another.
Gao Tai returned to the tent surrounded by everyone. He looked annoyed and cursed: "Damn it! Hateful! He attacked all day long, and the casualties were so severe that he could not break through the city!" He turned his head to look at Defang and asked unhappily: "You say! What's going on?" Defang looked panicked and could not answer Gao Tai's words for a moment.
