Zhang Huaxuan's teacher, Mrs. Hu, is also a celebrity, and Xia Cheng has also heard of him. This Baihe Xing can be evaluated by Mr. Hu, obviously it is not a general counselor. Thinking of this, Xia Cheng couldn't help sighing: "Such a talented person can't be used by me. What a pity."
The three of Zhang Huaxuan, who were familiar with Xia Cheng's character, only smiled at Xia Cheng's words, and did not feel any discomfort. Xia Cheng said so, just coveting this vain talent, and didn't mean to look down on the three of Zhang Huaxuan. This is also Xia Cheng's wish that all the talents in the world can be included in the bag.
And Xia Cheng just complained. He turned to Zhang Huaxuan and the others: "In your opinion, what is the purpose of this Bai Hexing suddenly coming to Xinzhou?"
The three of Zhang Huaxuan just bowed their heads for a moment, and soon showed a clear look. The three looked at each other and smiled faintly at the same time. Immediately, Zhang Huaxuan said to Xia Cheng, "My lord, if the subordinates have a good guess, we won't have to take this trip this time."
Xia Cheng didn't understand what Zhang Huaxuan said. He just stared at Zhang Huaxuan's three people in a daze, and asked incomprehensibly: "Zhang Huaxuan, what do you mean by this?"
The three of Zhang Huaxuan laughed, but this time it was Zhang Sailiang who answered Xia Cheng’s question. He said, "My lord, what a subordinate means, this is nothing. I am afraid that Liu Tong will send an envoy to discuss alliance matters with the adults. I didn’t expect Liu Tong to have such a plan a long time ago. But fortunately, this way, not only will we make one less trip, the adults can also take the initiative in the alliance with Liu Tong.
"Hahahaha!" Hearing Zhang Sailiang's explanation, Xia Cheng immediately understood. For Xia Cheng, this is of course a great thing. Xia Cheng couldn't help but laughed loudly, and quickly ordered to go down and send someone to escort Bai Hexing to Shangrao. But Zhang Huaxuan on the side narrowed his eyes, and the handsome face flashed in his mind. Zhao Guang, I'm afraid this is also your arrangement.
In the autumn of the first year of Shaoxing, because Zhao Gou colluded with the Qi State Army and invaded the territory of the Zhao Family Army, he was defeated. Subsequently, the Zhao Jiajun sent troops to attack Zhao Gou and the Qi State Army, and at the same time ordered Wang Hong to command the 50,000 troops of the Liangjiang Jiedu to take the Great Vietnam State in the south, so as to completely pacify his own hinterland. And before the end of the Zhao Family Army's war, in the southeast of the Southern Song Dynasty, the princes of the various roads also took advantage of this rare opportunity to compete with each other, intending to dominate the princes and become a force that can compete with the Zhao Peng Youjun.
Peng Youhe and Liu Tong, the leader of Liu Jiajun who had just succeeded his father’s throne, also launched an offensive on Fujian Road, where Gao An is located. Although Gao An relied on the Wu Yong of his two brothers, Xia Cheng and Wang Xiong, to withstand Peng Youjun. With Liu Jiajun’s offensive, no one can tell that Gao An will definitely not be able to support it for long.
And at such a critical juncture in Gao'an, the Jiangnan East Road made Xia Cheng even tore through the agreement of the two armies alliance and sent a large army to the Fujian Road. For a time, the entire princes were in chaos, but the small Fujian Road. It is the place where all the forces of the entire princes are brought together.
Guangze City, located on the northwest side of Fujian Road, is a city closer to Xinzhou on Fujian Road. During this time, this city has repeatedly experienced the baptism of wars. Xia Cheng's army set off from Xinshu, and the first thing to aim at was this Glossy City.
"Kill--!" General Xia, dressed in black and white armor, and General Gao, dressed in yellow, fought together on the head of the city, blood splattered, and stumps flying in the air. But all this did not prevent the soldiers from fighting. This is the battlefield. Only by knocking down the enemy can they survive. For these soldiers who have received formal military training, this point cannot be more understood.
In the very center of the city, a middle-aged general holding a spear, constantly assassinated the enemy in front of him. Each of his guns is the simplest and most direct, to consume the least physical strength to obtain the greatest lethality. This is difficult to do, but this warlord did it. Yang Wutao was originally just a very ordinary member of the Fujian Provincial Army's small school, but Gao An took a fancy to him and was promoted to the commander-in-chief by an exception. This time Xia Cheng sent troops to attack, Gao An needed to guard Jianzhou, and Xia Cheng and Wang Xiong couldn't get rid of them. Gao An asked Yang Wutao to bring eight thousand elite soldiers in Jianzhou City to Luise to garrison.
Facts have proved that Gao An's appointment couldn't be more correct. With 8,000 troops, Yang Wutao stubbornly resisted the attack of nearly 30,000 Xia troops led by Yang Lin. Although Yang Wutao does not have the martial arts of Xia Cheng and Wang Xiong, Yang Wutao's commanding ability is not inferior to that of Yang Lin, the number one commander under Xia Cheng.
God knows why such a general has not been unearthed by those Southern Song official lords in the official army before, but now it is cheaper than Gao An, who was born as a bandit. If Xia Cheng was here, after seeing Yang Wutao, I'm afraid I would be deeply moved.
After these few days of fighting, Xia Jun has tens of thousands of people killed or wounded under the glossy city wall. Of course, the Gao Jiajun who defended the city was not without casualties, but compared with Xia Jun, the casualties of nearly 5,000 people seemed insignificant.
Under the leadership of Yang Wutao, Xia Jun, who had finally managed to attack the top of the city, was pushed back by the Gao Jiajun again. As soon as he saw the enemy being forced off the city, Yang Wutao immediately shouted at the archer behind him: "Throw shooting attack. !"
In the previous battle, Yang Wutao stubbornly resisted and did not remove the more than 1,000 archers behind him, but now it has played a role. In accordance with Yang Wutao's instructions, more than a thousand archers bent their bows and set up arrows and shot them in midair.
The arrow was ejected by the powerful bowstring and flew into the air, covering the sky and the sun. When it reached high altitude, it began to fall, and the place where the arrow fell was the place where the Xia army was most dense outside the city.
As a scream sounded, at least three or four hundred Xia soldiers were killed or wounded by arrows. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Wutao led the Gao Jiajun soldiers on the front of the city, and began to desperately throw stones under the city wall, and he just beat the Xiajun soldiers who were still trying to climb the city wall.
"Asshole!" In the Xia Jun army formation outside the city, seeing the soldiers being pushed back again, Wang Kang, who was irritable, couldn't help but cursed, and then he turned his head to face Yang Lin and clasped his fist and shouted: "General Yang Lin. Just let me. Rush up. As long as the enemy is killed, Luster will surely be able to break through." Not only Wang Kang, but Huo Long, Di Hu and Zhang Dingtian beside him all looked at Yang Lin with wary faces.
"No." Yang Lin didn't hesitate, he refused Wang Kang's request in one mouthful, and it was also regarded as severing the same ideas of the other three. This siege battle is different from other battles. A boulder flying down from the top of the city or a stream of arrows is very likely to take the life of a top military commander.
Wang Kang and others are all important fighters Xia Cheng leans on as his arm, and they must not be lost. Yang Lin raised his head and looked at the sky. Although it was almost time for the unity, the sky hadn't darkened yet, and he could launch another attack. Then he turned his head and shouted at the messenger behind him: "Play the drums. Let the soldiers attack the city wall again. once."
Following Yang Lin's order, the sound of war drums behind the army became more and more intense, and hearing this sound of war drums, the soldiers of Xia Jun who was about to retreat gritted their teeth and once again launched an impact on the walls of Luster City. Xia Jun's archers rushed under the city wall under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers, and began to suppress the city with bows and arrows.
In contrast, the number of Xia Jun’s archers would be much larger. Despite the cover of the city wall, after several rounds of arrow rain, the Gao’s Army still paid the cost of nearly four hundred casualties. Yang Wutao hurriedly yelled when he saw it, and took the Gao Jiajun back a few steps, avoiding the attack of the archers outside the city, and at the same time ordering the Gao Jiajun archers behind him to continue the attack by projecting.
This is where the defender's advantage lies in a siege. Just a few steps away, the archers outside the city can no longer pose a threat, but the archers above the city can still attack. However, in this way, the Gaojia army on the front of the city also reduced the combat power to prevent Xiajun's sword and shield soldiers from climbing the city wall. Following the cloud ladder, Xia Jun's sword and shield soldiers climbed to the top of the city again, and rushed towards Yang Wutao and the Gao family soldiers behind him viciously.
Xia Jun's sword and shield soldiers had already climbed to the top of the city, and the archers naturally didn't dare to attack. Yang Wutao immediately mobilized soldiers to greet them. This kind of battle has been staged countless times in the shiny city in the past few days. Yang Wutao led the soldiers calmly to kill the enemy. An enemy died tragically under Yang Wutao’s gun. Yang Wutao himself was also very lucky. Fortunately, it was all small. hurt.
The battle lasted for nearly an hour, and seeing that the sky had completely darkened, Yang Lin ordered Mingjin to retreat. General Xia Jun also retreated like a tide after the sound of gold ringing. On the head of the city, even though the soldiers of the Gao family had been exhausted, they still cheered desperately to celebrate their repulsion of the enemy again.
