The Liangshan army moved very quickly.
As soon as Lin Chong finished giving his orders, all the brothers immediately took action.
Sun An led the 10,000 Liao cavalry to set off first.
Ten miles was the most suitable distance for the cavalry, so they could charge without being too exhausted.
"Speed up and try to rush into the city before the officers and soldiers react."
Sun An knew that what he was fighting for at this time was time.
Following Sun An's order, Liao Qi once again increased their speed.
This was the first battle after the surrender, and they also wanted to perform well.
When Sun An led the army to run wildly and finally saw Gaotangzhou, Sun An's heart sank.
I saw that the city gate of Gaotangzhou in the distance had long been closed, and on the city wall, Gao Lian and Lu Qian stood supporting the wall.
A large number of officers and soldiers beside them already had swords in their hands and bows full of strings.
"Alas" Seeing this scene, Sun An sighed heavily.
He hurriedly hurriedly and slowly failed to catch up.
It seemed that Gaotangzhou had already received the news from Cangzhou, otherwise it would not have been prepared in such a timely manner.
Chimu Xiong followed Sun An closely.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers were ready, he loudly asked, "Chief, the gate of Gaotangzhou is closed, what should we do?"
Sun An remembered Lin Chong's explanation when he came, and replied, "You lead five thousand people to quickly go around to the back gate.
You don't need to attack the city, just surround the back gate.
Remember, you must not let the people in the city escape."
"Yes" Chimu Xiong simply agreed, then made a gesture to divide the troops behind, and led five thousand people to rush towards the city gate behind.
Lin Chong was the third group to lead the army.
When Lin Chong arrived, Sun An, Lu Junyi and others had already formed a formation five hundred meters in front of the city gate.
Because they were all cavalry, they were unable to attack the city.
Lin Chong walked forward on his horse under the protection of the generals.
He looked at Gao Lian and Lu Qian who were standing on the city wall, and deliberately asked, "Master Gao, why are you closing the city gate?
Lin is preparing to enter the city to visit you."
At this time, Gao Lian had already received the news that Shi Wengong was leading his troops to attack Cangzhou.
He knew that this must be Lin Chong's premeditated plan, so as soon as he received the news, he ordered the city gates to be closed and dispatched officers and troops.
The city wall defends the city.
Sure enough, not long after the city gate was closed, he saw Sun An leading people.
However, what surprised Gao Lian was that the people following Sun An turned out to be all Liao cavalry.
Judging from the expressions of those Liao cavalry, they were completely The look of returning home was beyond Gao Lian's expectation.
Originally there were 20,000 troops in Liangshan, but now more than 30,000 Liao cavalry have been recruited and surrendered.
The number of troops has suddenly increased to more than 50,000, and the strength has more than doubled.
It is really terrifying.
At this time, Gao Lian heard Lin Chong's words and snorted coldly: "Grass bandits are grass bandits.
They disregard morality and openly tear up the alliance and attack friendly cities.
They are really unkind and unjust people."
"Hahahaha, I think Mr.
Gao doesn't understand the situation.
I, Liangshan, made an agreement with the court at the beginning.
As long as we defeat the Liao army and lift the border siege, the covenant will be automatically terminated.
So why should I tear up the covenant?
As for being unkind and unjust, there is no mention of it.
Wherever our Liangshan army has passed, we have done nothing wrong with the people.

How can we be unkind?
I, Lin Chong, am worthy of the nation's righteousness, and worthy of my brothers in life and death.
How can I be unjust?
Therefore, I advise Mr.
Gao to stop using your words and surrender early to avoid too many casualties among the soldiers.
It can also be regarded as accumulating some bad virtue for yourself.
Moreover, if you surrender to Kaicheng, maybe I will spare you some time when I am in a good mood. life.
How about surrendering to Kaicheng?"
Lin Chong was now in a very relaxed mood.
The garrison in Gaotang Prefecture was less than 10,000, and there were no capable generals, so it was only a matter of time to capture it sooner or later.
"Lin Chong, don't be pretentious here.
How can the hatred between you and me be resolved with just one sentence?
I tell you, don't think that you defeated the Liao invaders and have more people than me from Gaotang, but I am not afraid of Gao Lian.
You, if you have the ability, attack the city, otherwise stop talking nonsense."
Now that the two sides have broken their skin, Gao Lian will no longer be secretive.
Lin Chong smiled and did not continue speaking.
Instead, he said to the generals behind him, "The army will retreat five hundred meters and rest where it is."
"Yes" No one asked why he didn't attack the city, but directly chose to accept the order.
We are brothers at home, and we are brothers above and below on the battlefield.
All brothers understand this.
"Li Tianyou, I order you to lead a hundred soldiers with loud voices and let loose the curses below the city.
No matter how unpleasant the curse is, it doesn't matter if the people in the city can't get out, but the curse must be heard in the city."
The main purpose of Lin Chong's actions was to report news to Luan Tingyu in the city.
Tell him that he has arrived with an army, and let him be ready to find an opportunity to seize the city gate.
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely do this well."
Li Tianyou still had a young heart.
Hearing that Lin Chong had arranged such a task for him, he was very happy.
He immediately accepted the order loudly, and then went down to pick someone.
Lin Chong led the army back five hundred meters, and then the whole army rested on the spot.
However, for safety reasons, Lin Chong asked Hua Rong to lead two thousand people to guard, lest Gao Lian could not stand the stimulation and led the people to fight.
Not long after the army sat down to rest, Li Tianyou led a hundred carefully selected loud voices and rushed to a stop three hundred meters away from Gaotangzhou.
This distance is very practical, not only to prevent the archers in the city from shooting, but also to transmit the sound to the city as much as possible.
Moreover, even if the officers and soldiers in the city rush out, the distance of 300 meters is still enough for these 100 people to escape.
Return to the large group behind.
Li Tianyou asked everyone to stand up, then raised his hand and waved it violently, and the hundred soldiers behind him shouted at the top of their lungs, "High and honest, shameless, you will die tonight, and you will never make a mistake."
These four jingles were thought up by Li Tianyou and then taught to the soldiers to shout.
"Pfft!"
Lin Chong was sitting there taking a rest when he suddenly heard this jingle.
Unprepared, Lin Chong burst out laughing.
"This brat is quite thoughtful," Lin Chong said with a smile to Lu Junyi and others next to him.
"Hahahahaha" The brothers sitting next to them felt very interesting after hearing these words, and when they heard what Lin Chong said, they burst out laughing.
At this time, the content of the curse of the one hundred soldiers was changed to "Lu Qian, Lu Qian, he is so bad, if he is caught tonight, he will become a eunuch" "Pfft, cough."
Lin Chong couldn't hold it back again.
"I didn't expect that this kid would have these two moments.
He really chose the right person.

He seems to be a master," Lin Chong thought helplessly.
"I'm so angry, give me arrows and shoot them to death."
Gao Lian, who was standing on the city wall, was furious at this time and immediately loudly ordered the archers to release arrows.
The archers on the city wall heard the order.
Although they knew that the distance was too far, they would definitely not be able to shoot, but no one dared to hesitate to draw the bow and release the arrow.
Li Tianyou looked at the arrows that posed no threat to him, laughed loudly, and then shouted loudly, "Screen, scold me loudly, now start scolding me casually, scold me all the unpleasant words you can think of." " For a time, all kinds of obscene words spewed out like a volcano erupting.
"Sir, don't be angry.
I feel that Lin Chong may have some conspiracy."
Lu Qian was also very angry at this time, but he controlled it, because anger will make people lose their judgment.
This is also Lu Qian's experience accumulated over the years. .
"What kind of conspiracy can a grassroots bandit have?
I am so anxious that I will lead my men out of the city now and fight them to the death."
Gao Lian was really furious.
He was originally a rogue and had no cultivation.
Now that he was so humiliated by Li Tianyou, he no longer had the ability to think.
"My lord, you must not do this.
Lin Chong just wants to anger you, so your lord must not fall for his deception."
Lu Qian was really afraid that Gao Lian would lead his troops out in anger.
If this was the case, there would be no hope at all.
"I am so angry."
After listening to Lu Qian's words, Gao Lian hit the city wall with his fist and glared at Li Tianyou with eyes that could spit fire.
At this time, in Gaotang Prefecture, a group of people dressed simply but with stern expressions were standing in an abandoned courtyard.
"The big boss and the others have already arrived outside the city.
The reason why they did not attack the city must be because they are waiting for our action.
For the sake of our great cause in Liangshan, we will open the city gate and hold it firmly even if we die soon."
It was the person who spoke.
Luan Tingyu sneaked into the city quietly.
Everyone was silent after listening, but their determination at this time could be seen from their resolute expressions.
"Light the fire, take action," Luan Tingyu said, raising the knife in his hand.
A large pile of firewood had been prepared in the yard, and it was covered with fire starters.
Upon hearing Luan Tingyu's order, a man holding a torch threw the torch onto the firewood.
With a "boom", a towering fire accompanied by thick black smoke rushed into the sky more than ten feet high.
The thick smoke could be seen for miles around.
"The city will be destroyed today, follow me and kill" Luan Tingyu shouted and ran towards the city gate first.
At this time, Lin Chong and others outside the city also saw the thick smoke rising from the city, and they all suddenly became energetic.
Everyone knew that this was the message sent by Luan Tingyu to everyone, and they began to take action.
"Gather the whole army and attack the city!"
Lin Chong suddenly jumped up from the ground and shouted loudly while mounting his horse.
"Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo" the horn representing the charge sounded, and all Liangshan soldiers stood up as fast as possible, picked up weapons and siege equipment and rushed towards Gaotang Prefecture.
"My lord, there is a fire in the city."
Because Gao Lian and Lu Qian had their backs to the city, they did not see the fire in the city immediately.
Instead, they saw the sudden attack of the Liangshan army.
Gao Lian was about to order preparations to defend the city when he suddenly heard this man's words and hurriedly turned around with Lu Qian to look into the city.
At first glance, the two of them were shocked.
Now they finally understood why Lin Chong did not attack the city immediately.

It turned out that there were spies lurking in Liangshan in Gaotang Prefecture.
"What's wrong, sir, a group of people of unknown origin are coming towards the city gate."
As the man's voice fell, Luan Tingyu led the hundred people and finally reached the city gate
