However, Yang Wutao did not celebrate with the soldiers, but with his legs weakened, he directly slumped on the ground and panted heavily. In the battle just now, Yang Wutao worked hard from beginning to end. If it is dragged on, Yang Wutao may not be able to support it anymore.

Looking at the enemy army that had retreated outside the city, Yang Wutao was not at all happy. He didn't think the battle was over. On the contrary, the enemy was so cautious that he fought a war of attrition with himself, indicating that the enemy general is not that kind of reckless man. , This can be difficult to deal with.

"General." At this time, someone finally discovered Yang Wutao's embarrassed appearance, and a few people quickly came up to help Yang Wutao. Yang Wutao gritted his teeth and leaned on the side of the city wall and walked slowly for two steps. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he turned to look outside the city. He smiled, clenched his fists involuntarily, and slammed his hammer against the city wall.

From night to night, after a whole day of fighting, Xia Jun's generals also rested early, but as the commander of the army, Yang Lin did not fall asleep so early. He had to plan for tomorrow's battle. Judging from the fighting situation today, although the glossy city defense has not been breached, the wear and tear of the defenders in the city is also increasing. According to this development, it will take less than three days for the gloss to be broken.

But breaking the luster is only the first step. Next, Yang Lin must precede Peng You and Liu Tong to capture more of Fujian Road territory. Fortunately, the capital of Fujian Road was established in the southeast of Luster, and it was more important to conquer Jianzhou than to conquer any city on Fujian Road. If Gao An can be captured, it will be of great benefit to dividing Fujian Road with Peng You and Liu Tong in the future.

Only in this way, it is inevitable that Xia Cheng and Wang Xiong will counterattack. Thinking of this, Yang Lin couldn't help but frown, although Xia Cheng and Wang Xiong were not as famous as the top martial arts masters under Zhao Yan.

But Yang Lin knew the power of these two people. Although Yang Lin brought some of the most powerful generals in Xia's army this time, he might not be able to withstand the crazy counterattacks of Xia Cheng and Wang Xiong. Therefore, Yang Lin had to figure out a way, a way that could avoid confrontation with Xia Cheng and Wang Xiong while taking the maximum benefit.

"Report!" Just when Yang Lin was troubled, a voice suddenly came from outside the tent, but it was a soldier standing outside the tent holding a fist and saluting Yang Lin.

When Yang Lin looked at the soldier, his brows frowned. He had already ordered before that he was not allowed to disturb him if there was nothing important. Now that he was disturbed by the other party, a little clue just appeared in his heart and disappeared. Disappeared. Immediately, Yang Lin said with a displeasure look: "What's the matter? Hurry up."

The soldier apparently heard Yang Lin's displeasure and shuddered in fright. He quickly replied, "Return to the general. The soldier patrolling the camp caught one person and kept saying to see the general, saying that he came to help the general break the luster."

On the second day, the Xia Army, who had been attacking the city for several days, suddenly stopped moving. Facing this abnormal behavior, the Gaojia Army in the city did not respond. The two sides seemed to have reached a consensus, and there was a terrible peace inside and outside the city. Inside the city wall, Yang Wutao was instructing the Gao Jiajun soldiers to hide behind the city gate and dig white. There was a large open space behind the city gate, but it was dug into potholes.

But Yang Wutao was obviously still dissatisfied with this result, but there was no more space behind the city gate. After thinking about it, Yang Wutao asked the soldiers to dig deeper into these pits. At the same time, Yang Wutao used the excavated soil to form a circle of earth embankment around him, and all the archers were to climb the earth embankment to prepare for shooting.

Just as Yang Wutao had just finished all this, a soldier hurried to Yang Wutao's side and whispered a few words to Yang Wutao. Yang Wutao's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly said to the soldier: "Quickly. Bring him up, I want to ask him personally."

It didn't take long for the soldier to walk over with a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was dressed as a rich man, his figure was a little thin, but his face was gloomy. After seeing Yang Wutao, the middle-aged man quickly bowed down to Yang Wutao with a flattering expression, and said respectfully: "The villain has seen the general."

"Okay. No need to be polite, get up." Yang Wutao was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and asked him to stand up in reply. The middle-aged man also knew that Yang Wutao didn't want to see him for looking for himself, so naturally he was very happy. Stood up.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Wutao asked, "How is it? Can I tell you what to do?" Actually, Yang Wutao doesn't need to ask, just by looking at the reaction of Xia Jun outside the city today, he knew that the matter should be a success. However, Yang Wutao, who has always been safe, still wants to know the specific process.

The middle-aged man hurriedly replied: "If you return to the general, the villain sneaked into Xia Jun’s barracks last night and went directly to their commander. The villain claimed to be Fan Ruwei’s old ministry, and was dissatisfied that Gao Gong was in charge of Fujian. Lu, specially came to surrender to him and would like to help him open the city gate tonight. Then the commander-in-chief Xia was very happy when he heard it, and even said that he would reward the villain again and again."

"Okay." Yang Wutao couldn't help but shout after listening to the brief description of the middle-aged man.

That night, Yang Wutao led his army to ambush at the gate of the North City, and prepared a sinkhole and urn city, waiting for Yang Lin's army to be fooled. However, when it was time for the son, Yang Lin's army did not come.

Looking at the darkness ahead, Yang Wutao couldn't help feeling a little bad.

Suddenly, in the south of the city, a big fire ignited suddenly, and there was a shout of killing. Seeing the flames in the distance, Yang Wutao was shocked, because the main army had set up an ambush at the North City Gate. The South City Gate has only two hundred sentinels. Unsuspectingly, the enemy suddenly attacked the South City Gate. I am afraid that the South City Gate will be too bad for you!

As expected by Yang Wutao, before he was ready to mobilize soldiers and horses back to aid the southern city gate, he had already entered the city shouting killing. "Ah! I was in the scheming!" Yang Wutao roared sadly, and hurriedly retreated from the east gate with his soldiers and horses.

"My lord! At the end, the incompetent and burdened adults will be trusted, please confess!" In the lobby of Jianzhou Fujian Road Jinglue Mansion, Gao An and a cadre sat in their respective seats. But Yang Wutao, covered in stains, bowed down on the ground, bowing his head and pleaded guilty to Gao An.

A day ago, Yang Wutao took the remnants of more than 3,000 soldiers from the Gao family who were still able to move, and escaped from the east gate of Guangze City. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the city, Yang Lin led an army to stop him, and Yang Wutao fought bravely to kill the enemy, which broke through the siege. It's just that of his thousands of Gaojia army, there are only less than 500 people left. After Yang Wutao fled to Jianzhou, he came to report to Gao'an about the battle, and at the same time, he pleaded guilty to Gao'an.

Gao An's complexion is naturally very bad, not just him, but everyone present is the same. Although most of the people present represented the power of the family of Fujian road officials and eunuchs, they could not be regarded as serving Gao'an sincerely. But if Fujian Road is broken like this, it would be of no benefit to them.

However, looking at Yang Wutao who was kneeling down, Gao An's expression was not good, but he still didn't cast his temper on Yang Wutao.

Gao An shook his head and said, "Forget it, General Yang Wutao, victory or defeat is commonplace in the military, and the loss of gloss is not your fault. Being able to withstand so many days is already commendable. God's will is so, you can't force it. Get up quickly. "

"My lord!" Hearing Gao An's words, Yang Wutao was moved to tears. Even if he slammed his head at Gao An, his forehead was knocked blue. Immediately afterwards, Yang Wutao clasped his fists to Gao An and shouted: "The adults have no retribution for Yang Wutao's great kindness and virtue, but Yang Wutao can only fight for the adults on the battlefield. My lord! The final will dare to ask the adults for another eight thousand soldiers, the final general We must repel Xia Jun and regain luster for the adults."

"Huh!" Gao An had not had time to answer Yang Wutao's words, but there was a cold snort beside him, but it was Wu Jun, the governor of Fujian Road. The Wu family's influence on Fujian Road was not small, and even Chen Xiuping had to deal with Wu Jun. A little scrupulous, but the Shen family don't talk about it.

Although Gao'an and Wu Jun were not very happy before, but after Gao'an took control of Fujian Road, Wu Jun also made a lot of power. In addition, the Wu family had a great influence on Fujian Road, so after Gao An took control of Fujian Road, Wu Jun’s power Not only did it not shrink, but it increased a lot, and Wu Jun became more arrogant and domineering than before.

Hearing what Yang Wutao said, Wu Jun glanced at Yang Wutao with disdain, and said coldly: "Speaking of lightness, you will need eight thousand soldiers and horses to open your mouth! Are you an infinite number of soldiers and horses on Fujian Road? The whole Jianzhou is now only left. There are more than 10,000 people, and you are about to take away 8,000 in one breath. Then, what do you let the adults take to fight Xia Cheng, Peng You, and Liu Tong? Just rely on you, and want to regain the luster? Really take it for yourself. disgrace!"

"You!" Yang Wutao, who was born from the bottom, hates himself most. Some people look down upon himself. Seeing Wu Jun even so contemptuous of himself, Yang Wutao's eyes widened with anger, staring at Wu Jun firmly. Had it not been for Gao An to sit on it, I'm afraid Yang Wutao would have pulled out his sword long ago and stabbed Liu Jiajun to death.

However, when he thought of Wu Jun’s power, and now that Gao An still has to rely on this person, Yang Wutao had to swallow the bad breath, turned his head and shouted at Gao An: “In the end, even if it’s a broken bone, it will be taken by an adult. Luster, drive Xia Jun out of Fujian Road."
