Sima Lie withdrew from Gaolin County and immediately set up a large number of traps near the county town.

The city gate is closed and enters a state of wartime alert, and all people are not allowed to enter and exit.

Pei Ji and Yang Zhao led their troops to kill them, and were cautious along the way, checking traps with wooden carts to avoid causing losses.

In the previous level battle, Sima Lie's trap had already made them alert and they didn't want to win the second time.

With wooden cart exploration, most of the traps failed to work, and were discovered in advance by the Hua** team and successfully broke.

Pei Ji and Yang Zhao came to the city, surrounded all four gates, and sent people to continue to call.

Gaolin City Gate was closed, and Sima Lie personally led his troops to guard, ignoring the other party's squad, constantly inspecting various defense points to ensure no safety.

Seeing that no one was in the fight in Gaolin City and stayed in the door, Pei Ji led his troops to attack from the east gate.

Thousands of arrows shot in the city, forcing Pei Ji's troops to retreat.

In the second wave of offensive, Pei Ji's soldiers retreated to the front, and the infantry raised their shields to form a defense, and once again attacked the city gate.

The city shot again, and dense arrows tied the shield into a hedgehog, but they could not hurt the Chinese generals hiding behind the shield.

Seeing this, Sima Lie and others approached and were about to hit the city gate with a rushing car. When they tried to build a ladder to climb the wall, they asked the soldiers to use squash wood to continuously smash it down and sprinkle gold juice.

The shield soldiers could not stop the wood, and the soldiers who tried to climb the wall were also splashed with hot gold juice and fell from high places one after another, causing a large number of casualties.

The Chinese army and horses were not showing weakness, and they used their bows and crossbows to counterattack the defenders on the city.

Both sides fought fiercely for a long time, and each suffered casualties.

Pei Ji failed to break through the city gate, so he temporarily whistled gold and retreated ten miles with his troops.

That night, I received a telegram from Mi Yuansheng that the enemy had sent troops to reinforce Gao Lin and was attacking from the rear, asking Pei Ji and Yang Zhao to pay attention to dealing with it.

Yang Zhao said to Pei Ji: "Sima Lie dared not leave the city easily. Knowing that reinforcements arrived, he would definitely try to lure our army to attack the city. At that time, he would attack the reinforcements and make our army lose its power. However, he did not know that we had obtained military information in advance, so we could use this arrangement."

"What are the general's tricks?" Pei Ji still believed in Yang Zhao's ability.

Yang Zhao thought for a moment and said to him: "General can add a stove in the camp. When Sima Lie saw it, he would definitely think that our army came to help from behind and dare not move lightly. The last general led his troops to leave quietly and set up an ambush to the road he must pass to specialize in attacking enemy reinforcements. Once he took it down, he would pretend to be the enemy and return, trick Sima Lie into leaving the city to fight. At that time, he would annihilate him in one fell swoop!"

"Okay!" Pei Ji divided half of his troops to Yang Zhao and asked him to leave quietly. Then he ordered a stove in the camp.

The scout in Gaolincheng saw it and immediately reported to Sima Lie.

Sima Lie thought carefully: "The enemy army secretly added a stove, and I am afraid that the rear will come to help. I will be ordered by me, and everyone will cheer up and defend the city, so that they will not be able to lose money!"

Gaolin City is more vigilant, strengthens patrols, and dares not relax.

The next day, he received a letter from Fei Ge and learned that Wang Ran was bringing troops to help and was going to attack the Hua** team from the rear.

Sima Lie was overjoyed and sent a message to Wang Ran to make an agreement with him, and then attacked him from the front and back, and captured Pei Ji and Yang Zhao.

Wang Ran was sent by Fei Ge and accelerated his marching.

After passing Weiyang Road, the rocks on the right suddenly collapsed, and countless soldiers were killed on the spot.

Wang Ran was shocked and led his troops to rush over to avoid the collapse of the rocks. Seeing that he was passing through the Weiyang Road and preparing to cross the Weiyang River, he suddenly heard a loud sound in his ears, as if thousands of horses were galloping.

The upper reaches of the Weiyang River broke the dam and the flood came to the face.

Wang Ran was panicked and ordered the soldiers to leave the river.

Most of the soldiers were in the center of the Weiyang River. They had no time to withdraw and were washed away by the flood. The scene was particularly tragic.

Wang Ran found something wrong. First, the rocks collapsed, and then the Weiyang River broke the dam. It was not that coincidental. I am afraid it was caused by man. Some people set up traps in advance and waited for him!

Now that most of the troops have been lost, we must retain our strength and arrive in Gaolin County safely.

We definitely cannot retreat and go to Weiyang Road. The Weiyang River is also blocked by heavy water and cannot pass through.

There are two roads to go to Gaolin County. One is walking along the river on the north side, with a relatively flat and wide terrain and relatively close; the other is taking a detour from the south side, with a complex terrain and suitable for ambushing.

Normal people will choose the north road, take the nearest road to Gaoling from the open area, so as to avoid the dangerous road to the south to avoid ambush.

Wang Ran thought carefully and felt that the enemy must have thought so, but instead intercepted himself in the shortcut. Relatively speaking, it is actually safer to pass through a more dangerous road in theory.

So he gave up the flat shortcut and led his troops to the southern road, preparing to bypass the dangerous area.

The army passed by Langya Valley, and suddenly gongs and drums were ringing in front of them, and a soldier suddenly came out. The leader was Yang Zhao.

Wang Ran was shocked and ordered the army to retreat.

As a result, there was another fire of cannons behind, and countless Chinese soldiers rushed out and blocked the retreat.

"If you leave the flat road and go to the dangerous land, you should take a step less!" Yang Zhao gave the order, and the Chinese troops attacked from front to back.

Wang Ran led his generals to break through, rushing left and right and constantly fighting, finding a weak defense, rushing out smoothly, entering the dense forest and running wildly.

A tripping horse suddenly appeared in front of him, and the war horse fell to the ground without any time to react.

Wang Ran fell off his horse and was surrounded by Chinese soldiers. He held his spear and fought desperately until his strength was exhausted and his injuries were severely injured.

Most of Wang Ran's subordinates died in battle, and the soldiers under his command fought for a long time until the dragons were headless.

Yang Zhao ordered the Chinese soldiers to change into the captured enemy uniforms, raise Wang Ran's flag and pretend to be enemy reinforcements, and quickly march towards Gaolincheng.

Sima Lie and Pei Ji were in a stalemate in Gaolin City. Scout Feige passed a letter saying that Wang Ran's army was about to arrive. He immediately summoned the soldiers in the city and prepared in advance.

Once reinforcements arrive, immediately leave the city to cooperate and encircle them.

Pei Ji had already received news from Yang Zhao that he knew that Wang Ran's troops had been destroyed, so he had pretended to be an enemy and came to lure Sima Lie out of the city. So he cooperated extremely hard and pretended to be unaware of it.

Finally, the reinforcements of "Wang Ran" arrived and launched a raid from the rear, first "attacking" Pei Ji's camp.

Sima Lie received the news and personally led his troops out of the city to cooperate with reinforcements.

When he arrived at Pei Ji's camp, he was about to take down the main general while the other party was in chaos, but he found that Pei Ji's troops were on high alert. The so-called chaos was actually a small number of soldiers riding war horses to drag branches, and then some people were shooting the surrounding grass targets with rockets. Some people lit a fire, making it seem like the camp was in the distance.

There was also a group of people who used weapons to beat each other and made various fighting sounds at the same time.

When he found something was wrong, Sima Lie hurriedly turned around and ordered the urgency to withdraw to the city.

At this moment, the soldiers holding up Wang Ran's flag and rushed from the side.

Seeing this, Sima Lie was first surprised, and then his face changed drastically.

It turned out that in the army wearing his own military uniform and holding up Wang Ran's flag, the main general was actually Yang Zhao!

I realized in an instant that the other party might have known in advance that Wang Ran was coming to support. At that time, Zengzao did not want to increase troops, but used this to deceive himself, making him mistakenly think that the enemy was coming to support. Yang Zhao took the opportunity to quietly lead his troops to set up an ambush and attack Wang Ran's army.

These days, the "Yang Zhao" around Pei Ji is probably pretending to be someone else!

Sima Lie retreated quickly, but Pei Ji and Yang Zhao surrounded him, leaving him with no way out and could only fight back with all his might.

Although he was brave, he did not dare to fight Pei Ji head-on, so he let his generals entangle Pei Ji and break through to Yang Zhao's side.

Facing Pei Ji, Sima Lie followed him and tried his best, and he was soon killed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sima Lie successfully fought hard and fought a bloody path from Yang Zhao and fled to Gaolin County desperately.

Yang Zhao led his troops to chase him relentlessly, and Pei Ji also killed Sima Lie's subordinates who blocked him, and rushed all the way.

Sima Lie drove his war horse and fled to his death. In order to help him retreat into the city, his confidants sacrificed their lives to stop Pei Ji and Yang Zhao.

The war outside the city was tragic, Sima Lie was defeated, and Gaolin County Magistrate Guo Lu saw it.

Seeing that Sima Lie was in a critical condition, the chief official Yu Kai hurriedly said, "County Master, General Sima is probably caught in the enemy's plan, so he should rescue him quickly!"

Guo Lu thought about it and said to him: "Sima Lie underestimated the enemy and left the city without authorization, so he was defeated! Now that the county soldiers in the city are less than 2,000, how can he be the Chinese army? Even if Sima Lie is rescued and the enemy attacks the city, how can Gao Lin defend it? Gao Lin will be unable to protect yourself. Even if you escape from this place and lose the city, the empress dowager will be furious. It is not a good idea to lose this head! The situation in the world is clear, and China will be devouring Nancheng, Zhou State, and Daliang. We should make a decision early!"

When the officials around him heard this, they looked at each other.

Yu Kai thought about it carefully and bowed and said, "What the county master said is extremely true!"

Seeing Yu Kai's statement, other officials carefully considered the current situation and agreed: "We are following the county's head!"

Guo Lu felt relieved and immediately ordered: "Close the city gate!"

Sima Lie finally fought out a bloody path and fled back to Gaolin City desperately, but found that the city gate was closed and hurriedly shouted: "Open the city gate!"

Guo Lu stood at the top of the city and pointed at Sima Lie condescendingly: "Because you underestimated the enemy, you have the defeat, so what's the face to return to the city?"

Sima Lie shouted angrily when he heard this: "Guo Lu! Open the door quickly, otherwise I will report to the Empress Dowager, you can't afford it!"

Guo Lu said: "Gao Lin lost because of you. In order to protect the people in the city, our county is determined to surrender!"

"Dare you dare?" Sima Lie was angry.

"Come, shoot arrows!" Guo Lu gave the order, and the soldiers of the county in the city shot in a row, forcing Sima Lie to retreat repeatedly.

Pei Ji and Yang Zhao arrived and were surprised to see this scene.

Sima Lie had no choice but to turn around and wanted to break through the siege from the south and seek help from nearby county towns.

Pei Ji and Yang Zhao certainly would not let him do what he wanted and quickly led his troops to intercept him.

After a fierce battle, Sima Lie failed to break through and was eventually shot to death by Chinese soldiers.

The soldiers under his command surrendered.

Seeing Sima Lie dead in battle, Guo Lu directly put down the Liang flag in the city, waited for Pei Ji and Yang Zhao to come to the city, opened the city gate quickly, and personally led the county officers and soldiers out of the city to surrender.

Pei Ji was very happy. With Yang Zhao and surrendered, he led his troops to Gaolin County and reported to Mi Yuansheng via telegram.

Mi Yuansheng was very happy to get military information when he learned that Pei Ji and Yang Zhao successfully captured Gaolin County, and the enemy general Sima Lie and Wang Ran were killed. As a result, the small granary of Mizhang County was lost and his morale was seriously damaged, so it was very difficult to defend it.
