At night, the defenders who had been besieged in Yecheng for a long time finally gave up this lonely city where food and grass were about to end.

Gao Jiong divided six cavalry and attacked the siege troops besieging the city in six different directions, disrupting the sight, and then used Han Qinhu as the main force to break through!

Han Qinhu is also a veteran of Zhao Long's power, and he is very loyal. After Zhao Long's death, the first thing he thought about was not to surrender, but to break through.

If Chu Tian died in battle, most of the generals who followed Chu Tian a few years ago would choose the same.

Originally, Chu Tian asked someone to dig a ditch and siege the defenders of Yecheng, but the cold winter made the water freeze, and the defenders' cavalry could directly ripple through the ice!

"Stop them!"

Countless fire dragons appeared, and the troops besieging Yecheng fought with the defenders who had left the city to break through. The two sides fought in the dark, and the battle was extremely fierce.

The siege troops besieging Yecheng were not vegetarians, and they had considered that the defenders would break through tenaciously.

After all, Zhao Long handed over Yecheng to these three people to defend, which means that Zhao Long trusted these three people.

So when Zhao Long was killed, the probability of the three choosing to break through was even greater!

The scattered arrows splashed in the night, and the cavalry and infantry fought in a melee, and there were shouts of killing everywhere.

Gao Jiong was calm and calm. In order to cover up his eyes, he did not let the torch light, but used the braziers and torches set up by the siege troops to determine the direction.

Han Qinhu was like a wolf king in the dark, taking the lead and killing the enemy standing in front.

Anyone who stands in his way will be stabbed to death by him!

"The horse hooves there are rushing, and it may be the direction of breaking through!"

When Chen Qingzhi returned to Yecheng, he did not make a judgment based on the fire, but based on the sound of horse hooves, he judged the real breakthrough direction of Gao Jiong, Shen Pei, Han Qinhu and others!

Perhaps even the strategists cannot do it. Only the generals who often command cavalry can distinguish the subtle differences in the sound of horse hooves in the noisy battlefield.

It is obvious that Chen Qingzhi's judgment is correct. Gao Jiong used a trick, which was to deliberately extinguish the torch and hide his whereabouts.

The other six partial divisions held up torches to attract the attention of the siege troops.

There are seven chess pieces, six are pawns, and only one is the "coach" to be kept!

Gao Jiong's plan was almost successful, and Chen Qingzhi led the white-robed cavalry to chase him.

"quick!"

Han Qinhu was also a cavalry general who had experienced many battles and was very familiar with the sound of horse hooves.

He could detect Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army approaching.

Han Qinhu himself was also a tiger general. He rushed all the way, his spear rolling up and down. All the cavalry who dared to stop him fell under his gun!

"General Han, wait for me..."

Shen Pei rode a war horse and followed closely behind Han Qinhu's cavalry.

There were shouts of killing from all directions on the battlefield, and there was a lot of killing. Only when Shen Pei was involved in the battlefield did she realize the terror of the battlefield.

The sword is ruthless, and anyone may die!

From time to time, cavalry were shot and killed by stray arrows. Shen Bo gritted his teeth and forced a breakthrough with the military force of a civil servant.

He also wanted to avenge his lord and his friend Zhao Long. In addition to death, there were princes in the world who could surrender and have the opportunity to avenge him.

Therefore, Shen Pei told herself that she must not die here!

"Zhao Long, we have been in love for seven years, and we must not let you die in vain..."

Shenbo gritted his teeth.

Suddenly, an arrow shot into Shen Pei's back, and Shen Pei made a dull sound.

There was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth.

"I can't die, I can't!"

Shen Cheng had the mentality of avenging, and at this time he had a strong desire to survive, and wanted to avenge Zhao Long!

Because Han Qinhu was anxious, he rushed in front and was getting farther and farther away from Shen Pei. With Shen Pei's force, without Han Qinhu's personal protection, it was impossible for him to break through the numerous encirclements.

There are several more wave arrow shots and the matches are shot.

Shen Pei hit a few arrows in a row, and the horse was still galloping, but Shen Pei's eyes lost its luster.

He can't take revenge after all.

"kill!"

With Gao Jiong's strategy and his own force, Han Qinhu killed dozens of people in a row, and took advantage of the chaos on the battlefield to break through the siege.

"Two, we are safe now..."

Han Qinhu was hit by two arrows in a melee. However, when Han Qinhu turned around, he found that Gao Jiong and Shen Pei did not follow in time...

Except for Han Qinhu, the other two civil officials were gone...

"Is this fate?"

When Han Qinhu saw Gao Jiong, who advocated breaking through, Shen Pei was surrounded by pursuers and went back to rescue him, it was undoubtedly a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

Han Qinhu had no choice but to accept his fate and led the cavalry to leave alone.

He was also injured in the melee and was almost left behind.

The battle that broke out near Yecheng ended. The next day, after the Yecheng defenders lost their chief general, they raised the white flag and surrendered.

In any case, if there is no food or grass in Yecheng, if you don’t surrender, hundreds of thousands of people will starve to death.

Chu Tian marched towards Handan, while Xia Tianliang stayed behind and accepted Yecheng's surrender, which made people help the people of Yecheng and comfort them.

The people in Yecheng are extremely low, only 12 (the maximum value is 100).

Chu Tian used water to attack, destroying the morale and will of the defenders, and at the same time besieged Yecheng with rivers, causing the people of Yecheng to hate Chu Tian's forces.

At 12 o'clock, it may take two or three years to return to normal levels.

Water and fire are ruthless, these two tactics are generally not easily used.

"During the melee last night, according to the prisoners' instructions, the guard general Han Qinhu led the cavalry to break out. The guard general Shen Pei was shot and killed by arrows in the melee..."

After the summer coolness recovers, we will coordinate the recovery of Yecheng.

After a melee, Shen Pei was killed.

"Shen Pei will be killed if she is killed. With his friendship with Zhao Long, he will never surrender to us."

Xia Tianliang knows Shen Pei's personality and the friendship between Shen Pei and Zhao Long.

Zhao Long was the one who instructed Chen Qingzhi and Zhao Yun to kill him. Shen Pei was caught and he would hardly surrender.

If Shen Feng surrendered under such circumstances, he would not be Shen Feng.

“Where is the Gaobing?”

Compared to Shen Pei who died in battle and Han Qinhu who fled, Xia Tianliang cared more about Gao Feng.

Gao Yong, the first civil official in the era of Emperor Wen of Sui, presided over the destruction of Chen and unification of the whole country, and was an absolute imperial civil official.

Unfortunately, Zhao Long did not have time to stabilize his strength. Otherwise, with Gao Yang's internal affairs ability, Yang Su's commander, Shi Wansui, Han Qinhu, Hu Luguang, Lanling Wang, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other group of military generals as minions, Zhao Long gained a foothold in Hebei, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, there is no if.

Zhao Long has been killed in battle.

Li Xiuning replied: "Gao Jin tried to break through, but was captured alive in the melee, and now he became a prisoner under the ranks. Those who captured Gao Jin were the white-robed army."

“Bring it.”

"yes."

"The three major generals, one was captured, one broke through, and the other was killed. The melee last night was indeed very chaotic."

Xia Tianliang is quite satisfied with this result.

Soon Gao Yang was brought here, who was a middle-aged man.

However, Gao Yang's nose and face were swollen at this time, and it was obvious that he was beaten up by the white-robed army during the melee.

"I guess the plan to break through last night was out of your hands?"

Xia Tianliang looked at this first civil official in the era of Emperor Wen of Sui. At the same time, Gao Feng was not inferior in his wisdom and could command soldiers.

The Chutian power is not short of civil officials, and civil officials come from various dynasties.

Sang Hongyang, the civil servant of Emperor Wu of Han, Jiangdong, the civil servant of Sun Quan, the civil servant of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, etc.

Now, Gao Yang, the prime minister of Emperor Wen of Sui, has been captured.

Historically, Gao Yang's later years were not very peaceful because Emperor Yang Guang of Sui killed this great hero in the era of Emperor Wen of Sui.

If a prince gets high throne, he basically doesn't have to worry about internal affairs.

This is almost the same as getting Li Kui and others.

Of course, the more civil officials, the better, the more it will be. It will only have a marginal decrease effect.

After the Gaofeng quilt was brought, his mentality was calm, he did not give up on himself, nor did he be afraid.
