The siege reached the third day.
The walls of Ganzhou are dilapidated, like a ruined city that has been abandoned for thousands of years.
The defense of Ganzhou City cannot be compared with Xiazhou and Yinzhou at all.
The closer to the core of the Central Plains civilization, the more its urban architectural style has the characteristics of the Central Plains, and on the grassland, a hundred years ago, even if the Great Khan was stationed in the pasture, it was just a piece of tents, camping and setting up villages, saying that they would go, and migrating across the entire grassland, so their fighting style has always been offensive, replacing defense with offense, and the weaker side will either start a decisive battle with the other party on the grassland, or use the vast desert grassland to escape everywhere, and there is no such thing as defending the city.
Today, the Khitans have developed from a tribal alliance of Xiongnu and Turkic to an imperial government and have begun to build fortresses.
These cities in the Hexi Corridor were also built as early as the prosperity of the Western Regions trade routes since the Han and Tang Dynasties, but the defensive effect of these cities was actually very limited.
Yang Hao was sure that he would break through the defenses of Ganzhou and enter Ganzhou City the next day, but he did not expose his powerful siege ability, many heavy siege equipment and sharp long-range weapons.
Just to suppress the defenders at the head of the city and minimize his own casualties, he had no intention of forcibly breaking the city.
Ganzhou Hui is an independent kingdom, its residence is the Hui people, Yang Hao's influence here is limited, if you force a breakthrough, attack the city, the city defense army will change from 60,000 to all the soldiers, the wear and tear of street fighting will be more serious, and Ganzhou Hui is still nomadic, the mobility is extremely strong, once the city of Ganzhou is broken, the Khan is killed, the various tribes will take advantage of the chaos to break through, escape in all directions, at that time, the difficulty of chasing and surrendering everywhere will be greater, and it will take two or three years at the fastest to let these wild horses belong one by one.
As a result, Yang Hao suppressed the siege firepower, and the city of Ganzhou was always in danger, but it was always in danger and did not fall, so that the Yeluo Khan and the Hui soldiers and civilians always maintained a trace of illusion in their hearts and held on to their royal city.
The siege continued, Yang Hao sat cross-legged in a huge white felt tent ox cart pulled by eighteen oxen, in front of the car stood the wolf head of the ox and nine tails, leisurely tasting Xiliang grape wine, watching the soldiers of each department launch attacks again and again in an orderly manner.
"Whew.
Woo."
A desolate horn suddenly sounded, and Mu Yu rode over and shouted, "My lord, the Hui reinforcements are coming."
To the northwest, there were seven or eight thousand people. ” A smile bloomed on Yang Hao's lips: "It's good to come, I've waited for them for three days, and I'm finally here." ” He immediately shook his clothes and shouted loudly: "Order: Mu En led the army to intercept, Ai Yihai and Mu Kui quickly outflanked the two wings of the reinforcements, ready to suppress them.
Zhang Pu, He Bining, Li Huating and others each defended their own positions, suspended the siege, changed the attack to the defense, and prevented Ye Luosu from sending troops to respond.
Immediately transfer the heavy armor iron cavalry and the Mo Dao team to the north gate of Ganzhou."
With one general after another, the heralds were flying like horses, galloping back and forth, and each team was like a cog in the huge war machine in Yang Hao's hand, biting each other tightly and beginning to turn rapidly.
In the distance, dusty air, a cavalry iron cavalry appeared from the northwest to watch their momentum.
It is planned to break through the Yang Hao army that is besieging the city in one go, and rush into the city while creating a large number of casualties and chaos, if Yang Hao has used all his strength to attack the city, it is absolutely too late to respond immediately, while restraining the army, adjusting the rhythm, changing the attack to defense, and mobilizing sufficient troops to intercept it.
This tactic of the Hui people is not very clever, but it is absolutely effective, and it is a quick word, which is the embodiment of the cavalry's mobility ability.
The Hui soldiers had high noses and curly hair, murderous spirit, brandishing snowy swords, and fought with Mu En's troops, where the horses' hooves flew, stirring up a large cloud of dust, quickly enveloping both the enemy and us, and the dust and smoke were billowing out, like two heavenly armies fighting in the clouds.
"Oh, oh" Although there are only seven or eight thousand reinforcements, but the appearance of the first support army, so that the morale of the Hui army who are defending the city is greatly boosted, the Hui people at the head of the city look at the reinforcements coming in the distance, let out excited cheers, waving the swords and guns in their hands, shouting happily, the whole Ganzhou city is excited for the appearance of King Qin's division, and the night Luosu immediately ordered the opening of the city to respond, and the inside and outside should be combined.
Launched a counterattack in the direction of the North City.
The noose of the drawbridge creaked down, and the heavy drawbridge fell to the ground with a thud, and the city gate opened He Bining is attacking the northern city, as soon as he receives Yang Hao's generals, he immediately collects his troops, and the reserve team will quickly spread the horses and thorns to the front position, and the siege army has abandoned the heavy siege equipment, and has just returned to the main formation, putting on a half-moon-shaped defensive formation, and the seventh princess Aguli who fell at night personally led five thousand elite soldiers, and rushed to the suspension bridge with a scimitar.
"Puff puff" a bloody light burst out, the Hui warriors used their horse body, forcibly crashed into the newly laid rejection horse, the war horse neighed to the ground at the same time, the tail of the gun deep in the sand was also broken by the strong momentum.
Immediately, Aguli, dressed in a white robe and covered with a white veil, rode a majestic war horse, brandished the scimitar in his hand, and rushed into He Bining's army like a wind against the strong arrow rain of the Xiazhou army.
The "sonorous" exchange sounded, the sword shadow and sword light, and Princess Agul's body was wrapped in a wide robe.
I can't see her graceful and moving body, but waving her stirrups, leaning over, back, and side splitting one by one, the kind of charming and bewitching beauty can still loom in her clothes, strong and fierce and feminine charm and softness, perfectly blended together, and the splash of blood adds a bit of charm to her.
Yang Hao stood in the distance, and also noticed the battle here, seeing that it was actually a young woman who led the charge, and her fierce and wild taste was even more fierce than many men on the grassland, Yang Hao subconsciously licked his lips.
There was also the sweet taste of wine on his lips: his grandmother's, this woman was so fierce.
It's as wild and ferocious as the female horse bandit leader Gashalova in a mirage.
He Bining was in front of the battle, and saw it more realistically, seeing that the beautiful woman with white veils on her face and only revealing a pair of charming and awe-inspiring big eyes was so brave, He Bining couldn't help but be secretly shocked: "No wonder the marshal said that all the people are soldiers, and we are not allowed to forcibly break the city before the enemy's strength is exhausted, these Hui women are so terrifying." ” Seeing that the white-robed woman was like a bamboo, and had led the army to break through the horses and thorns, and rushed into the front army, He Bining immediately raised the knife in his hand and personally stepped forward In the rear of He Bining's army formation, the Mo knife array and the heavy armored cavalry have entered the position, from the city side, He Bining and Princess Aguli are fighting hard, from the northwest side, Mu En led the troops to block back the reinforcements, Mo Dao hands lined up in front, with knives on the ground, awe-inspiring guard, the old soldiers behind began to put on armor with the help of the soldiers, as if one by one the brides who were about to board the sedan chair.
Their combat advantage is obvious, but the disadvantage is also very obvious, within a thousand steps, they can hit back and forth twice at most, and then they have to pant like an ox, let people slaughter, so the conditions suitable for them to do war are particularly harsh, in order to save manpower and horsepower, not to the point of combat, they will not put on their armor, but needless to say, once they are given room to play calmly, their lethality is simply the black panther tank on the cold weapon battlefield.
The knife is like a mountain, and the spear is like a forest.
The sound of killing shook the sky.
A spear in Mu En's hand has been soaked in blood, although there are the best efforts of the guards to defend, but there are also many scars of varying degrees on his body, the enemy is surprisingly fierce, if it is not for the commander who has left spare strength and hastily responded, the limited forces in his hands will not be able to stop such a strong offensive.
Seeing that the heavily armored cavalry guarded by Mu En and He Bining in the middle had already stopped dressing up, and the dust was flying in the distance, and the mobile light cavalry of Mu Kui and Ai Yihai had come around here, Yang Hao immediately ordered Mu En to withdraw his troops.
The Chinese banner signaled, and Mu En's army began to retreat to both sides, and the reinforcements quickly broke through after dropping more than a thousand corpses.
The show began Yang Hao deliberately put them in and put them under the city of Ganzhou, so that all the royal families, nobles, heads and soldiers in the city who rushed to the north of Ganzhou to watch the battle situation witnessed a massacre with their own eyes.
Ignoring the oncoming enemy, the heavy cavalry began to attack like heavy tanks, and the arrows hit their bodies as if they had been bitten by mosquitoes, and then bounced off, the tips of the arrows blunt.
The scimitar slashed at the armor, and in the sonorous sparks, it was either broken or shocked to fly away, and the heavy armored cavalry was like an iron mountain, rumbling forward, knocking them on their backs.
Behind the heavy armored cavalry, the Mo knife men became a meat grinder, one after another Mo knife, harvesting the lives of people and horses, between the Mo knife wielding, strangling everything, leaving a piece of flesh and blood in the place they passed.
The people at the head of the city witnessed this massacre that they had never seen before, and just now they were attacking fiercely, and the Hui reinforcements who were evenly matched with the Xiazhou army, with the cooperation of such two strange armies, like a group of lambs to the slaughter, had no power to fight back at all, seeing the terrifying slaughter scene, the people at the head of the city were pale like earth, and their hearts were broken The Xiazhou light cavalry squeezed up from both sides, forcing them to have no way to escape, and the Hui reinforcements could only rush to the oncoming iron mountain and knife wheel like moths, which were crushed and crushed, and after the heavy armored cavalry and Mo knife hands passed through the enemy group, the dense light cavalry on both sides closed like guillotines to clean up the battlefield and clean up the last remnants of the enemy.
Standing at the head of the city, Ye Luosu watched a huge reinforcement army, nearly seven or eight thousand reinforcements, all shattered under the terrifying strangulation of the Xiazhou army, until the whole army was annihilated.

This is the real sense of the total annihilation, not a single living mouth, even the war horses under their crotch, not a few survived, the night Luo Su hands on the city wall, arms trembling, legs exerted, straight to look at the place where there are still thousands of people like tigers, horses like dragons, galloping and happy, there is now a red, a shocking red, soaked that land.
The generals under his command were also stunned, their hearts fell from heaven to hell at once, from great joy to great sorrow, especially when they saw the terrible combat power of the Xiazhou army that was impossible to resist when they saw the frontal conflict of the Xiazhou army, the powerful shock of the soul made them difficult to calm down for a long time.
The five thousand soldiers and horses of Agul under the city were still struggling, they could not see the situation ahead, and they were still trying to meet the reinforcements that could never arrive, until then the night fell and woke up like a dream, and the beard trembled violently, and shouted in a terrible voice: "Collect the troops, collect the troops" Everything that they have just seen will turn into a nightmare, entangled in the dreamland of each of them, and soon, through the mouths of thousands of people in the city, this nightmare will be sent into the hearts of the people of Ganzhou In the desert, a tent under the moon is like a tomb.
In all directions, the horses stood quietly, the camels lay quietly, and the soldiers gathered around the bonfires, and the oppressive atmosphere made few people speak.
In the tent, Prince Ali, the eldest son of the Nightfall, and several tribal leaders sat cross-legged inside, their faces flickering in the wind.
"No, we can't go to Ganzhou immediately, we have to wait for reinforcements from other tribes to arrive, gather enough men and horses, and at the same time attack the army besieging Ganzhou City from different directions, so that they can't take care of each other, only in this way can we rush into the city to join the Great Khan."
Prince Ali said and commanded in a deep voice: "From now on, the food you carry should be saved as much as possible until more reinforcements are available."
In Yang Hao's tent, the generals gathered.
Yang Hao said loudly: "Today's battle, the 7,000 reinforcements were wiped out in an instant, and there was no escape, so that the defenders of Ganzhou could witness with their own eyes, this kind of deterrent power is incomparable, and it is difficult for them to have the confidence to rush out of the city to fight to the death with us."
The only thing they could do was to take advantage of the wide corridor of Ganzhou, and we could not quickly mobilize troops to help any of the weak points, gather enough reinforcements, and attack the cities at the same time, trying to join the defenders. ” Yang Hao smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, what we have to do next, is to let them give up the decisive battle with me and go to the city to defend it."
Ye Luosu wanted to defend it, so let him guard the city to death. ” The generals laughed, Yang Hao pressed his knees and said: "There are reinforcements, release all the water, let them rush into the city to join Yeluo, what to do next, you should already know in your hearts, since they are willing to be led by our noses, then let's follow the step-by-step step."
For the night of Ganzhou to fall to the Khan, surround but not fight, to Suzhou Longjia, fight but not encircle, and to the Guiyi army in Guasha and Guasha, only intercept but not fight, three cities, synchronously. ” The generals applauded, and Yang Hao said again: "Here, General Zhangpu is left to preside over the overall situation, and the three generals Ai Yihai, Mu En, and Li Huating " The three of them hugged their fists: "The end will be" Yang Hao smiled slightly: "You guys, accompany Ben Shuai to Suzhou, now go back and prepare, withdraw the troops overnight, and leave tomorrow." ” The generals respectfully responded, and Yang Hao said: "Okay, even after a day of fighting, it's all tired, everyone go back, from tomorrow, just make a show, you can take turns to recuperate." ” The generals took the order and left, Yang Hao picked up the tea and carefully pondered his entire deployment, he came to the west this time, the army of 80,000 was commanded, and after getting Liangzhou, he unceremoniously brought out the 20,000 Tufan army of Luorong Dengba, and he had to come to the name of the thief on the mountain, and the 20,000 soldiers were more familiar with and adapted to the geography of the Western Regions than the Xiazhou soldiers.
The use of troops is abundant, but this battle is very complicated, the original sweep of Hengshan Zhuqiang and Yinzhou, are simple one-on-one battles, and later to fight Li Guangrui, although the use of the Ming plank road, the strategy of secretly crossing the Chen Cang, one bright and one dark two fronts, but it is still a one-to-one battle, but now it is very different, he wants to minimize casualties, adopt the most harmless way to the Hexi Corridor, and at the same time against three fronts, three different forces, adopt three different strategies, and to carry out at the same time, In this way, Ganzhou was able to surrender without a fight, but the complexity was far greater than all the wars he had experienced before.
Ganzhou, Suzhou, Guazhou, Shazhou, and the heads of these local forces, and their relationships, were carefully filtered in Yang Hao's heart, when he thought about the Lingtai for a while, a burst of broken footsteps started, Yang Hao opened his eyes, and saw a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, and a face like a peach blossom, and walked into the tent, as soon as Yang Hao opened his eyes, the white-robed young man opened his hands, turned around lightly in front of him, and smiled: "Is it good-looking?"
Easy scarf, jade belt, cloud shoes, white robe like snow, a pretty face with pink makeup and jade, eyebrows and eyes like stars and moon, worthy of the reputation of a beautiful young man, Yang Hao frowned and said: "It's getting late, what are you doing like this?"
The handsome young man said angrily: "You said that you want to sneak to Suzhou secretly, and you want me to pretend to be you sitting here, I'll dress up for you to see." ” Yang Hao touched his nose, and a wicked smile appeared on his face: "Anyway, it's an outsider who is hiding it, so you don't need to be too cautious, but Yanyan, you dress up like this, it really has a different taste." ” Tang Yanyan turned his anger into joy, opened the sleeves of his robe, and admired himself: "Yes, I just admired myself in the mirror, and I also think it is very beautiful." ” Yang Hao couldn't help but smile: "Yes, after seeing your current appearance, I suddenly understand why some powerful people like prostitution." ” Tang Yanyan made a vomiting expression and said, "Hey, hey, you can't stop learning, it's disgusting to spoil the child." ” Yang Hao said disapprenously: "What's disgusting, it is said that many celebrities like to prostitute children, so they often pick some young people with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes to be children, and they grind ink and hand tea during the day, and at night, hehe, they are very elegant." ” Tang Yanyan became nervous, hurriedly grabbed his side, grabbed his shirt and said, "You are not allowed to learn from them, otherwise you will not be allowed to touch me in the future." ” Yang Hao laughed: "Why don't you want to touch you?"
Tang Yanyan's face turned red, pursed his lips and shook his head: "If you don't allow it, you won't allow it, what reason do you need?"
Yang Haohu smiled and said, "Oh, Yanyan seems to understand what the prostitute is."
Has anyone in the Tang family ever raised a prostitute child?"
"Yes, no, no" Tang Yanyan just nodded, suddenly woke up, and hurriedly shook his head.
Yang Hao laughed, grabbed her soft waist, kissed her smooth pink cheeks, and said, "Don't worry, your officials won't like prostitution." ” Tang Yanyan wrinkled his nose and snorted, "It's pretty much the same. ” Yang Hao chuckled and said ill-intentionedly: "Because, when my family Yanyan is dressed up, he is even more prostitute than the most handsome prostitute boy, why should the officials ride horses to find horses." ” Tang Yanyan was kissed by him and raised his neck, his starry eyes were blurred, and he panted and said: "Someone is a real woman."
Yang Hao slid down against her flat and soft lower abdomen, gently untied her belt with his other hand, pressed it against her ear, and whispered: "Of course you are a woman, and you are a very lovely woman."
You can do what a woman does to a man.
You can do the same thing about prostituting children waiting for men, Yanyan, tonight, just be an official's prostitute boy, okay?"
"It's not bad" Tang Yanyan blushed with shame, and wanted to run away as soon as he opened his big hand, but as soon as she crawled out of two steps like a puppy, Yang Hao clamped her hips and dragged her back.
"Ahh The wind blows the skirt and the ass is cold, and the chrysanthemums are sung in a low voice Outside the huge white felt tent ox cart, a figure swept up like a fright, and flew up to the wolf head of the nine tails of the ox, the dog squatted on the wolf head with hot cheeks, tightly blocked his ears with two fingers, and said to himself with shame: "Uncle is a bad person" Caocheng River, the defense of the embassy.
In the study, the mysterious guest said with a feminine smile: "General Red is willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light, and the official family is happy."
Now you and I are trying to make a big move, just waiting to take the prefecture, this prefecture festival, one side of the feudal officials, is what you have in your pocket.
Glory and wealth, splendid future, unlimited, Wang here congratulations first. ” Chi Zhong couldn't help but say: "Lord Wang, what this official is thinking about now is not a problem, but how to deal with the various changes that will follow after taking Fugu, if this matter is not solved, even if this official is willing to serve the imperial court, he does not dare to guarantee that all the generals under his command will serve to death." ” That Lord Wang turned out to be Wang Jien, the Hexi transfer envoy and Hebei Provincial Observation Envoy, after listening to Chizhong's words, he smiled faintly and said: "Hehe, General Chi is polite, the general has been sitting in Caochengchuan for many years, and he seems to be a prince, if he can't control the generals under his command, who is willing to believe that General Chi doesn't have to worry, the official family has been carefully calculated, and the general is coming."
Wang Jien pointed to the map and said in a deep voice: "As soon as you make a move here, we will act immediately."
The Anli Army and the Longde Army controlled the Guangyuan Cheng Shixiong Army, and they were not allowed to act rashly, and the official had a secret order from the official family, and when the time came, he would personally command the Ninghua Army, the Jinning Army, the Pingding Army, and the Weisheng Army, and quickly enter the territory of Fuzhou to assist the general in controlling all the troops and horses under the jurisdiction of Fuzhou.
Li Pishou, the assassin of Suizhou, secretly led his army north to intercept Yang Jiye's reinforcements in Linzhou.
At that time, Fuzhou will be firmly controlled, it will be difficult for Yang Jiye in Linzhou to advance an inch, Yang Hao is now busy with the westward expedition, even if he is willing to give up halfway, when he rushes back, the overall situation of Fuzhou has been decided, unless he dares to provoke a counter-flag and directly face the official family, otherwise how can he be General Chi, you see such a deployment, can it be regarded as a failure?"
Chi Zhong looked at the map, estimating the strength of these Song troops, and his face gradually became calm: "The deployment of the official family is naturally seamless, but nothing will go wrong."
Wang Jien said: "General Chi, the official family has been plotting the northwest for a long time, if you want to take the northwest into the palm of your hand the most, it must be the official family, such a major matter, how can the official family allow it to have any forks General Chi just do his own thing, as long as you succeed here, the Fuzhou army has no leader, and great things can be done."
Chi Zhong looked at it carefully for a long time, gritted his teeth, and nodded: "Okay, when Zhe Weichang arrives, the official will start to do it immediately." ” Wang Jien was overjoyed and said, "Okay, Wang will fully cooperate to help the general complete this immortal feat." ” Chi Zhong said: "It's getting late today, Lord Wang, please stay in Chi's study for the time being, and tomorrow, the official will personally send you away." ” Wang Jien nodded in agreement, Chi Zhong said goodbye, and just came to the middle hall, he saw the deputy general Xiao Chen waiting there, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "My lord, Zhe Weixin has already entered the city, and he will go to the mansion immediately." ” Chi Zhong was taken aback: "So fast" Xiao Chen said with a smile: "Zhe Shuai learned that the three armies here are making trouble, where can I rest assured, the second son naturally has to travel day and night to appease the army." ” At this time, someone in the vestibule sang: "Only the prince of Chang has arrived" Chi Zhong and Xiao Chen looked at each other and smiled, and hurriedly dusted off their robes and greeted them.
The trade wind rushed to the Caocheng River, and when he entered the city, it was already in the waning mountains.
Now his eldest brother Zhi Wei is gradually starting to take charge of the government for his father, Zhi Weixin as the second brother, in the future will be the same role as the Yu Qing, will be the eldest brother's right-hand man, this time I heard that because of the shortage of food, the grass city Sichuan army changed his mind, and Zhi Yuxun did not dare to be careless, so he brought a sum of money and food to appease.
Now that the food cart has been parked outside the mansion, he is worried about the situation in Caochengchuan, and before anyone can report it, he entered the mansion and walked quickly to the atrium accompanied by the housekeeper, thinking all the way about how to appease the soldiers of Caochengchuan, and the wording of the whole prefecture working together to tide over the difficulties.
As soon as he crossed the courtyard gate, he saw Chi Zhong leading the deputy general Xiao Chen to meet him quickly, and when he saw it, he hurriedly grabbed two steps, smiled and said, "Weichang has seen Uncle Zhong, Lord Xiao is good." ” Chi Zhong is the same as his father, and he calls him an uncle but not his position, which is also a deliberate closeness of Zhi Weixin, but Chi Zhong did not dare to be his "uncle" honorific title, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Oh, the young general, please get up quickly, Chi can't afford to be called a young general."
Jieshuai is in good health. ” Zhi Weichang said: "My father's health is as good as before, but he has always been concerned about the situation of Caochengchuan, and now what is the heart of the Caotangchuan army?"
On the side, Xiao Chen hurriedly said: "Young General, my Kelan army is adjacent to the Ninghua Army of the imperial court, and the imperial court's soldiers and horses have no worries about food, but my Caochengchuan is overstretched, and the dissatisfaction of the soldiers is gradually growing.
Zhi Weichang was shocked when he heard this, looked at Chi Zhong and said, "Uncle, is the situation so serious now?"
Chi Zhong's face was worried, and he said solemnly: "Major General, please sit down in the hall, and I will tell you the details of the situation."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen understood, and immediately arched his hand and said: "The last general will be temporarily avoided":
