Chapter 85

Just as Liu Bian and his party stepped into the city gate and the city gate slowly closed, Ma Handa and others who were in charge of leading the way looked down at his chest in astonishment.

A blood hole the size of a bowl suddenly appeared in front of the old man's chest, and blood flowed out from the wound.

The old man looked in disbelief at Liu Bian, who was calm on the outside, and saw that there was a faint smile on his face. Seeing this scene, the old man's scalp felt numb.

The old man exhausted the last bit of strength in his body, and asked with difficulty: "Why is this so, my lord?"

"Non-my family, its heart must be different."

Seeing that the old man was still looking at him in disbelief, Liu Bian smiled slightly, raised his eyebrows at the old man, and said, "From today onwards, there can only be one voice in Xuantu County, it's too much of a hindrance to keep you guys. , so I can only make a bad move, and I hope you can forgive me a lot."

"I?"

The old man was taken aback when he heard the words, and when he was about to speak, he heard two extremely shrill screams from beside him. He turned his head and saw that the two old men beside him were killed by a tall man who was nearly ten feet tall. Clamped under the armpit, the neck was severely pinched.

The big man in the eyes of the old man is Yu Wencheng who is at his side.

Yuwen Chengdu saw Liu Bian attacking the old man suddenly, so he immediately understood that there was no need for Liu Bian's order, one in each hand, and the two Ma and Han nobles who went out of the city together with the old man were executed on the spot.

"You are the Son of Heaven."

There was an expression of disbelief on the old man's face, he pointed at Liu Bian, and after struggling to say the last sentence, he fell headlong under the horse and died on the spot.

After a long time.

The city gate slowly opened again, Chai Shao led [-] Han troops to collect soldiers outside the city, and Zhang Xun led [-] Han troops to climb the city wall and take over the city defense.

Yu Wencheng saw that everyone was assigned errands, but he was left behind, so he looked sideways at Liu Bian, rubbed his hands together with a smile, and said, "Your Majesty, all the generals have errands, but the last general has no errands." , don't know"

Liu Bian smiled slightly, then suddenly straightened his face, and said sternly: "I have an extremely urgent task here that needs you to do it yourself, don't let me down."

When Yu Wencheng heard the words, he quickly straightened his expression, bowed his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty has a mission, and I will never refuse to die."

"Leading you to ride two hundred, go to conquer the four cities of Houcheng, Xigaima, Liaoyang, and Gaoxian. I will order Nanba and Lei Wanchun to lead the army to follow closely behind you to take over the city defense." Liu Bian said.

When Yu Wencheng heard the words, he shook his head almost without thinking, and said: "The city is in the midst of employing people, and I only need fifty light cavalry to conquer the city and return."

"This"

When Liu Bian heard this, he suddenly seemed a little hesitant, and said: "I know you are extremely brave, but it's about the siege of the city, so don't belittle the enemy."

Yu Wencheng saluted Liu Bian very solemnly, and said: "Whether Shi Ke is present or not, fifty riders are enough."

"it is good."

Liu Bian nodded and said, "Since Chengdu has such confidence, I can't say anything more. I will hold a banquet in the city at noon tomorrow to welcome you."

"promise."

Yu Wencheng retreated in response.

Yuwen Chengdu personally led fifty light cavalry out of the city, and Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun followed closely behind with five hundred infantry. Before parting, Yuwen Chengdu informed Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun of the deployment of this battle in advance.

"First conquer Gaoxian, then attack Xigaima, then attack Liaoyang, and finally conquer Houcheng, what do you two think?" Yu Wencheng asked.

Upon hearing the words, Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun saluted Yuwen Chengdu at the same time, saying: "I would like to be the general's leader."

"good."

Yu Wencheng immediately bowed his hands to the two of them, and said: "I will take a step ahead, and the two brothers will lead the army to walk slowly behind."

After Yuwen Chengdu finished speaking, he immediately clamped his horse's belly lightly, led his army all the way north, and rushed straight to Gao Xian, which was 150 miles away.

The road in Xuantu County is flat, and the distance is 150 miles. For the light cavalry, it is less than two hours away.
Yuwen Chengdu led the army twenty miles away from Gaoxian City, dismounted and ate something. After the people and horses were full, everyone mounted their horses one after another and went straight to Gaoxian City to charge and kill.

After a stick of incense.

Looking at the two-foot-high city wall, Yu Wencheng rolled his eyes speechlessly, and said, "I thought Gaoxian City was located at the border, and it should be a fortified city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but I didn't think it was just a small city. , it seems that the general really gave Ma Han a high opinion."

"The general must not give birth to the heart of underestimating the enemy."

The person who spoke was in his early twenties, and he followed Liu Bian and others to participate in the battle to wipe out the Black Mountain bandits, and made some military exploits. Liu Bian saw that he spoke calmly and acted calmly, so he temporarily appointed him long job.

This time, he followed Yuwen Chengdu all the way to attack the city, and he was considered one of the few people in the army who could talk to Yuwen Chengdu.

Yu Wencheng curled his lips contemptuously when he heard the words, and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm actually very humble."

After Yuwen Chengdu finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to take off the phoenix wings and gold-plated iron from the pack horse, and charged into the city at the head of the horse.

The defenders of Gaoxian City are less than 300 people. For the current Yuwen Chengdu, it is basically no different from an empty city.

Yu Wencheng lifted the phoenix wings upside down and gilded the iron, and the tip of the iron dragged on the ground, rubbing against the ground from time to time to create a few sporadic sparks, which made the defenders' hearts sink.

Most of the defenders of Ma Han hadn't had a full meal. They stood in front of Yuwen Chengdu like a monkey. Yuwen Chengdu waved a shovel, and at least five or six of Ma Han's defenders could be killed.

The entire battle lasted less than a stick of incense. After the Ma Han defenders sacrificed the lives of nearly a hundred compatriots, they voluntarily surrendered their weapons.

More than 200 Ma and Han defenders knelt down on both sides of the road, looking at Yuwen Chengdu, who was like a god descending from the earth, fearfully, no longer daring to have the slightest thought of resistance.

Yuwen Chengdu ordered people to tie up all the guards of Ma and Han, and then left five cavalry to guard the guards of Ma and Han who were tied up outside the city. After arranging the affairs of Gaoxian City, Yu Wencheng immediately got on his horse and covered it to the west without stopping. The horse galloped away.

After about three hours or so, the sky has gradually darkened.

Lei Wanchun finally came with the Han army, looking at the [-] Gao Xian defenders who were tied up by five flowers, he couldn't help smiling, and said: "If I knew they were so obedient, I wouldn't have to rush on my way."

The five Han soldiers who were in charge of guarding Gao Xian's surrender saluted Lei Wanchun, and after a simple handover with Lei Wanchun, they got on their horses and galloped towards Houcheng without stopping.

Everyone has already experienced Yuwen Chengdu's siege efficiency, and they know that going to Xigaima at this moment may not even have a mouthful of soup. Instead of running for nothing, it is better to go directly to Houcheng and wait for Yuwen Chengdu's arrival.
