This battle was almost dark, and Gao Yong committed a large number of troops to attack the city regardless of everything. For two consecutive days, the war was still on fire.

As a result, the 4,000 light cavalry led by Deng Zhong suffered a lot, and there was no logistics support from the baggage force, which immediately made the city a mess.

Fortunately, Deng Ai's dispatch was meticulous and seamless, so he could block it one by one during the two consecutive days of attacks.

Deng Zhong was also exhausted by the struggle, collapsed to the ground, and said with a smirk: "This man is really difficult to deal with. He has attacked so hard in two days. If he had been attacking for five consecutive days, there would be no substitute in the army and the baggage was maintained, he would have been tortured to death."

Deng Ai looked natural and chuckled: "This man is not too stupid. He knows that the king has led a large army in person after five days, and wants to speed up the capture of Huihe Shenggu City. Otherwise, when the king arrives, our troops will total up to 20,000 troops, and they are all elite troops, enough to encircle and annihilate Gao Yong's 10,000 troops here. The more he wants to fight with me, the less I will send troops, and just guard it like this."

Deng Zhong was a little disdainful and snorted: "The child led the Longxiong cavalry to charge once, and the enemy's formations would be dispersed."

"Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements, and those who are good at playing have no wonderful skills."

He chuckled and said lightly: "If we charge at all costs and rely on our father's ability to charge for three thousand warriors, the noble army of ten thousand people will be just a smooth road with ease."

Deng Zhong had always known that his father had never said arrogantly. Since he said that three thousand people could defeat the enemy, there would be no problem. He said happily: "If the father is ready to charge, the child will hold the horse and hold the whip for his father."

Deng Ai laughed and shook his head and said, "There are pros and cons of charge. Even if I am, I am only 70% sure. Reinforcements are about to arrive in five days. Since the joint forces are solved, why should we fight to the death? You only see the 70% chance, but you can't see the 30% chance that the entire army may be wiped out. The way of using troops is actually no different from the word "gambling". Since there is a way to win, why bother to bet on your wealth and life?"

Deng Zhong suddenly realized that his military management level seemed to be higher than his level. He got rid of the stage of blind hard fighting and truly became a qualified commander.

"This battle will become a famous battle for eternity and a battle to destroy the country."

Deng Ai's face showed a proud look. All famous generals from ancient times to the present, both at home and abroad, all aimed at expanding their territory and eliminating the countries. Huo Qubing of the Western Han Dynasty even spoke the magnificent and grand saying "Why do you want your family to be the one who has not yet been destroyed?"

Just a little battle to determine the world, you can instantly expand the territory of the country by half. How happy it is.

Goguryeo Camp.

Gao Yong's face looked a little bad, and he frowned and said, "Continue to attack and attack me until the Yan army in the entire city is dead."

Ke Mo nodded and said coldly: "The Yan thief has no baggage, and the soldiers without wheel guards cannot withstand a six or seven-day attack. Even if it is dragged, it can still drag the Yan thief down."

He knew very well that in another five days, the main army of Yan's army would arrive, which would be his nightmare. At that time, the enemy was strong and we were weak, and he would not be his opponent. Instead of fighting hard in five or six days, it would be better to fight hard to the end now.

"Continue to attack the city the next day!"

Gao Yong left a sentence angrily and turned around and left.

The next day, Goguryeo's scouts investigated dozens of miles away around Heshenggu City and saw an incredible scene.

I saw dust flying wherever my eyes reached the southeast, rolling yellow smoke flying all over the sky. Unknowingly, I even said that the hill opposite had caught fire.

A scout who was a little unresponsive said in a daze: "Why is the good mountain? How come it catches fire?"

The experienced scout saw the rolling yellow smoke dozens of miles away and almost fell off the horse's back: "Idiot - then, where is it on fire? It's clear that the army is coming from a distance!"

The old scout had seen many such scenes. At such a speed of travel, he could advance to Heshenggu City within a day and said in surprise: "Go back quickly and report - King Yan Gongsun Xiu is here!"

As soon as the five words "Yan King Gongsun Xiu" were heard, it was like a thunder sounding in the air. Everyone present understood what it meant.

As soon as this person arrived, the Yan army's troops increased in multiple ways. At that time, the Goguryeo soldiers were about to be made into dumplings.

The old scout urged him to return to the camp and hurriedly informed Gao Yong of the matter.

Gao Yong's face changed when he heard this, and he said suspiciously: "Can Gongsun Xiu lead the army arrive so quickly? Do you see clearly?"

The old scout sighed: "The yellow sand in the southeast corner is flying, sweeping in the air. If tens of thousands of troops were not advancing together, such movement would not have occurred."

Gao Yong frowned and said, "If this is true, Gongsun Xiu will arrive at Heshenggu City in less than one day. This is really unexpected. It is logical that the army he led will take at least six days to arrive here. How could it be so soon? Could it be that the Yan thief was really a real person and flew from the sky?"

Ke Mo felt a little scared and hurriedly said, "The Yan thief is good at tricks, and he must have advanced troops in advance, with the intention of being unintentional. It seems to take six days, but in fact it will arrive tomorrow. If you hadn't thought that the Yan thief would arrive in fifteen days last time, Heshenggu City would not have fallen in seven days."

Gao Yong sighed: "This person's military use is real and real, and it is really hard to guess."

If he was prepared to march to Heshenggu City last time, he would have a way to arrive first before Deng Ai. It was because he underestimated the enemy and missed the opportunity to fight, and was occupied by the Yan army.

At this time, he heard that the army that would arrive in Ming Six will be at the city tomorrow. His heart was thrust forward, and Gao Yong smiled bitterly and said, "If this is the case, we can't capture this city anymore. If we don't retreat, we may not be able to retreat even if we slow down."

Kemu smiled embarrassedly: "This - we can still retreat now. If we slow down a day and are attacked by front and back, we may not be able to escape."

Gao Yong thought about it again and again, and felt that he could not confront the other party head-on. He immediately slapped his thigh and snorted: "Retreat the troops first."

On the second day, the Goguryeo army took the front army to become the rear army, and the rear army to form the front army, evacuating southwest.

Deng Zhong felt inexplicably: "Why did they withdraw their troops?"

I just felt very strange in my heart. Logically speaking, it must be something deceitful.

Not to mention him, even Deng Ai, who had been studying military tactics for many years, couldn't understand it. Gao Yong had no reason to retreat so quickly. But soon he saw the dust flying dozens of miles away, like thousands of troops sweeping over.

Deng Zhongqi said: "Is it because the king came up? This - this cannot be so fast? The army and baggage led by the king are basically infantrymen. Can he come from a hundred miles a day when dragging heavy supplies?"

Deng Ai thought a little, understood it, and chuckled, "It's indeed the king who is here."

"Yes--but what's going on?"

Deng Zhong still couldn't figure it out.

Until the sun set, the eight teams of cavalry had only about 800 people. They rushed to the city from all directions. The leader was riding a tall horse, which was the Yan King Gongsun Xiu who was waiting for day and night.

He smiled, holding the whip in his hand, and hit it in the air with a "pop" sound, and said loudly: "Don't panic, you guys, you are here in person."

The Yan army on the top of the city cheered and welcomed the arrival of the King of Yan.

Deng Ai and his son hurriedly went downstairs to open the city gate, lowered the suspension bridge, and welcomed the King of Yan into the city.

Gongsun Xiu did not dismount. Deng Ai walked in front and held the horse and held the whip for King Yan, and smiled and said, "Master, your move is really perfect, scaring away all the tens of thousands of Gao Yong's army."

He shook his head and smiled: "It's not okay if you don't come early. I heard that the general killed horses in the city and ate them, and he almost ate the horses with only the horse bones left."

Deng Ai smiled bitterly: "The king forgives his crime, and the general has no choice but to kill the horse and eat. Fortunately, the king's army arrived and relieved the difficulty of siege."

Gongsun Xiu laughed and said, "You are joking with you. You fought well in this battle. You ran for five days and six hundred miles, captured the city, captured the enemy, and surrendered prisoners. You are so wonderful that you chose to be extraordinary."

Deng Ai scratched his head and smiled: "The last general is just atonement for his sins."

Deng Zhong subconsciously looked behind him and saw that there was no sign of the army entering the city. Apart from the eight hundred cavalry, there was no trace of the army. He couldn't help but say, "Master, are you the only one with the eight hundred cavalry?"

Gongsun Xiu couldn't help but feel amused when he heard this: "What else? Everyone can't put wings on and fly over directly, right?" Speaking of this, his eyes turned to Deng Ai and said with a smile: "Can Shizai know the reason?"

Deng Ai smiled slightly and said, "I couldn't believe it just now. The moment I saw the king, I understood. The king must have been dozens of miles away, and asked the eight hundred horse riding horse to run back and forth on the tail, causing the rolling yellow smoke on the ground to be everywhere. Gao Yong's scout looked from a distance and seemed to have tens of thousands of troops coming, so he naturally felt like he was retreating."

"It can be hidden from others, it can't be hidden from Shizai."

Gongsun Xiu laughed: "If you change your place and change your position with Gao Yong, you are here to stay. If the suspicious soldier tries to cheat, he will be seen through. A few hundred people will be captured alive on the spot."

Deng Ai shook his head and said, "The King is joking. The three armies of Goguryeo have all experienced the elusiveness of our army and are unreasonable. Gao Yong had already preconceived thoughts in his mind. He would not dare to underestimate the enemy and wait for his surroundings to be surrounded by our army. If the King changes to the King, he may have changed another way and can also play the King's way around."

Gongsun Xiu looked up at the sky and sighed, "Gu was worried that the army was still small after all, so as not to be unable to defend this city. This was the worst strategy. Even if Gao Yong saw through the doubts, Gu wanted to escape, he would not be able to catch up."

"That's not called escape, it's strategic retreat."

Deng Ai followed him for a long time and learned about the unique nouns and meanings of King Yan, such as "strategic transformation", "strategic retreat".

He said angrily: "Hundreds of people were chased by tens of thousands of people, and it was said that it was a strategic retreat, which was a gift on the face. Escape means running away, and running away is not embarrassing, and being captured is the real embarrassment."

The two laughed together.

Deng Zhong then realized that the King of Yan led a light army to march for more than a hundred miles. He used only such a small trick to scare Gao Yong's army away. The admiration in his heart was really unspeakable.
