The setting sun was like blood, scattering the last afterglow on the city top. Flags were fluttering and hunting sounds were heard. Zhao Xu held the city tower with both hands and stared at the city where the fierce fighting was taking place. The enemy broke through the city defense and killed on the city.

And the price they paid was piles of corpses above and below the city,

Under this city that they once ignored, they sacrificed nearly two thousand lives. "Uploaded by Wu Jiu Literature Book Friend" The corpses were stacked up layer by layer, and the blood gathered into small streams under the city, flowing and running.

Soldiers stepped on it, splashing red flowers.

There were heavy casualties below the city, but he did not take much advantage above the city. Gaoyang suffered because there were too few experienced soldiers. He only knew how to risk his life, but did not know how to do his best to reduce his casualties, and more

to kill the enemy.

The Gaoshan soldiers held simple wooden and bamboo spears and threw them with all their strength while running fast. These spears flew up the ten-meter-high city wall, exposing most of their bodies to the outside of the Gaoyang defenders in rows.

Stabbed to the ground. After resisting for most of the day, the Gaoshan soldiers finally climbed to the top of the city and opened a bridgehead on the city. They immediately used this bridgehead as a base to continuously expand their victory to both sides of the Gaoyang County city wall.

The city has become a hell on earth, with every step taken, several or even dozens of lives are harvested by the sickle of death.

"Sir, take care!" The two soldiers beside Zhao Xu saluted him, turned around, pulled out their sabers, and rushed towards the brutal killing field under the tower with shouts. Zhao Xu stood still and watched.

The two soldiers jumped down from the tower and watched them slash with their swords.

Flying on the enemy's heads. Watching them being hit by the barbarians' scimitars and falling in a pool of blood on the ground. He took out a small knife from his sleeve. This was the small knife he usually used to cut paper, but it was not enough to kill the enemy.

.But it is enough to take his own life.

Wei Dongsheng led the remaining hundreds of garrison soldiers and retreated to the base of the city tower. At this time, other places on the city wall had basically been lost. The people who helped defend the city lost their reliance on the city wall and faced the wolf-like enemy.

It was as weak and weak as a baby, and was cut down to the ground like wheat.

"Tai Zun, we can't hold on anymore. We only have a few men and horses. Let's protect Tai Zun and rush out." Wei Dongsheng was covered in blood and looked back at Zhao Xu on top of the tower.

"I am the county magistrate of Gaoyang. When the city is alive and the people are there, the people will die when the city is gone. Lieutenant Wei, I will not leave. You have fulfilled your duty of defense. You can go out. Use your skills to rush out. Question

Not big." Zhao Xu said calmly.

Wei Dongsheng smiled bitterly, "How can I have the face to leave if Your Majesty doesn't leave? Since ancient times, civil servants have been admonished to death, and military officers to fight to the death. Now you are not leaving any civil servants. How can one of my generals have the dignity to escape alone and die? Then we will die together."

Come on, Your Majesty!"

"Okay!" Zhao Xu laughed and said: "The strong wind knows the strong grass, the rough wind knows the heroes, Dongsheng, I usually look down on you soldiers and ruffians, and your words are often offensive, but today I am impressed. Zhao apologizes here,

Today you and I go to the Yama Hall hand in hand, and we will have no regrets!"

Wei Dongsheng laughed, "That's it. It's enough for Wei to leave his name in history together with Tai Zun!"

"Tai Zun!" A bloody man brandished a broadsword and cut a path of blood through the dense crowd of Gaoshan soldiers. Behind him, there were two men in headhunting uniforms, who were also covered in blood at this time.

of.

"Li Mazi, are you still alive?" Zhao Xu shouted in surprise.

"Tai Zun, I'm still alive. My brothers are all gone. It's just the three of us." Li Mazi's face was covered with blood, and it was so red that it covered all the pockmarks on his face.

On the city wall, the resistance in other places has gradually disappeared. Groups of Gaoshan soldiers rushed to the city tower, and some rushed down, preparing to open the city gate and welcome Meng Fei's large army into the city.

Turning his head and looking at the red sun that was gradually disappearing above the mountain, Meng Fei raised his right arm high and shouted loudly: "Enter Gaoyang and take a three-day trip!"

Hearing Meng Fei's words, the surrounding Gaoshan soldiers cheered loudly, "Enter Gaoyang, it will take three days!" The cheers of the Gaoshan soldiers echoed throughout the battlefield.

The so-called three days of Dasuo means that the soldiers are allowed to do whatever they want in the city for three days. During this period, no matter whether the soldiers kill, hurt or loot, they will not be subject to any control by the superiors.

Under the cheers and cheers of the soldiers, Meng Fei mobilized his war horses and walked slowly towards Gaoyang City. Behind him was a guard composed of fifty war elephants.

Suddenly there was a muffled thunder in the distance. Meng Fei subconsciously looked up at the sky. Although the sun had set, the last ray of light was still across the sky. There were clouds in the sky, but they were one in the east and one in the west. The sky was blue.

At this point it is still vaguely debatable.

"Cavalry!" someone exclaimed.

Meng Fei suddenly turned his head. At the end of his field of vision, a black line appeared. In an instant, it got closer and closer. In the rising smoke, a large group of cavalry was rolling towards the top of Gaoyang City like a strong wind. The first one was there.

The majestic black war horse rode like wind and lightning. Behind him, a cavalryman held a big flag high. The red background with gold rim and the white cloud character looked so eye-catching.

"Yun Zhao, Anqing border army!" Asule exclaimed in surprise. He came from the Meng Yuan center in Tanzhou. He was also highly regarded by Princess Yaldan of An State and was quite familiar with Yun Zhao's affairs.

"Why did he appear in Yizhou?" Asule's face turned pale.

Meng Fei noticed that Asule's face was extremely ugly, "Who is this person?"

Asule said solemnly: "Yunzhao, Heisha of the Desert, General of Anqing, General Xuanwei of the Fourth Rank of Vietnam. King Meng, you have to be careful."

Yunzhao, the black evil spirit of the desert, these are unfamiliar to Meng Fei. He has lived in the mountains for a long time and does not know that Yunzhao is famous in Meng Yuan, Anqing and the desert. However, he heard about General Xuanwei of the fourth rank of Dayue.

Understand, Jian Shu killed their souls in Gaoyang, and Jian Shu was only a ranger general, a fifth-rank Dai Viet official.

"Turn around and fight!" Meng Fei shouted loudly.

The Anqing frontier army led by Yun Zhao finally arrived at the gate of Gaoyang City just as Gaoyang was about to be defeated. When it was still ten miles away from Gaoyang, Yun Zhao received the report of the critical situation in Gaoyang and made a prompt decision, leaving Su Dingfang's infantry behind.

He personally led five hundred cavalry and came first. At this time, although Su Dingfang's three thousand infantry were running forward, they were still ten miles away from Gaoyang.

The cavalry was getting closer and closer, and Meng Fei finally saw clearly that although the cavalry coming from the opposite side was powerful, they were not many in number, just a few hundred riders. At this time, tens of thousands of elite Gaoshan tribesmen had gathered under his command.

There are even fifty war elephants lying at the bottom of the box.

"Lord Asule, is this Yun Zhao famous?" he asked with a smile.

Asule nodded heavily, "We have several generals in Mongolia who have fallen into his hands. Don't underestimate the enemy. King Meng, order your soldiers to gather into a square formation and try your best to block their charge."

Meng Fei didn't take it seriously, laughing and pointing forward, "It's just a few hundred riders, and they want to compete with me. Lord Asule, but you see me capturing this thief for Dameng today!"

The dark clouds stepped on the snow and kicked up the smoke and dust on the ground, and rushed over. Looking at the swarming Gaoshan tribe soldiers, Yun Zhao showed a contemptuous smile on his face. The opponent did not have any array to speak of. Although there were many people, such

A loose formation is the most

For the formation that the cavalry liked, he took out the broken army from the saddle, took out three long arrows with his right hand, strung them, raised his hand, and loosened the strings. The three sharp arrows were already shot out. At this time, the nearest one

The Gaoshan soldiers were still nearly two hundred steps away from Yunzhao.

With three screams, three Gaoshan soldiers were hit by arrows in the chest and fell to the ground. However, among the swarming soldiers, they were like a few pebbles falling into the rough sea without causing any waves.

They were overwhelmed by the rolling crowd. The following soldiers stepped on their corpses and continued to rush towards the cavalry on the opposite side.

Yun Zhao's arrow had just been shot. Behind him, several 500 Anqing cavalrymen led by Yan Xiaoyi were holding their bows, nodding arrows, and shooting at the same time. Some cavalry with outstanding archery skills could even shoot in such a short time.

After that, two feather arrows were shot out, and Yun Zhao, who took the lead, shot three arrows twice in a row like lightning. Wuyun Taxue had already rushed into the opponent's crowd and inserted it back.

Breaking the army, Yi Shuihan unsheathed with a cry, and Yun Zhao dragged Yi Shuihan sideways. He hardly needed to exert any force. Just relying on the speed of the dark clouds stepping on the snow and Yi Shuihan's sharpness, he easily hit the mountains around him.

When fighting against the Meng Yuan, even the Meng Yuan generals wearing strong armor could not block Yun Zhao's Yi Shuihan attack, let alone these shirtless Gaoshan soldiers with poor equipment.

The loose formation of the Gaoshan Tribe gave Yun Zhao and his five hundred cavalry a lot of room to maneuver. The five hundred cavalry were like a whirlwind. After blowing into the array of Gaoshan Tribe soldiers, they did not stop or even lose speed.

How much does it drop?

Asule covered his head in pain, and felt a burst of pain. He came from Meng Yuan, which started as a cavalry. Of course, he understood that when the soldiers of the Gaoshan tribe were not in formation, no matter how large the number was, they could not stop them.

Yun Zhao's five hundred cavalry. Moreover, how could Yun Zhao come here with only these five hundred cavalry? Needless to say, there was a steady stream of infantry coming behind him.

He didn't understand how the Anqing border troops who were supposed to be at the other end of Bayan La Mountain suddenly appeared in Yizhou and Gaoyang.

"King Meng, gather your troops and form a tight formation. People should lean on each other, squeeze each other, and use a human wall to block the opponent. Otherwise, this battle will be lost. Your troops of up to 10,000 people will be killed by them like chasing ducks.

It's light." Asule roared.

Meng Fei's mouth opened wide as he looked at these cavalrymen who were like the god of death walking among his soldiers, entering a deserted land. It's not like he had never seen cavalrymen before. He simply said that he had quite a few cavalrymen under his command.

But compared with these people, the cavalry briefly mentioned is not on the same level at all.

"How to assemble? How to assemble at this time?" He was a little panicked.

"Send out your elephant soldiers, rely on the war elephants, and assemble the soldiers, otherwise it will be too late by the time Yun Zhao's infantry arrives!" Asule shouted almost with all his strength. (To be continued.
