Two hundred and ninety seventh chapter: The Battle of the Bohai Sea IV
Nothing happened all night, and when the sun rose the next day, the rebels had begun to gather outside the city, preparing to launch a new round of offensive. But this time, at the forefront of the rebels outside the city was Dou Jiande's general Wang Fubao. And those five thousand elite divisions.
These five thousand elite troops are the treasures of Dou Jiande's men. It is precisely because of this elite division that Dou Jiande was able to defeat Gao Kaidao, kill Zhang Jincheng, and even annihilate the world-famous Yandi warriors. Dou Jiande actually knew how to do so. Sending this army to assist Gao Shida shows that Dou Jiande is still very loyal to Gao Shida.
On the top of the city, Changsun Heng'an, who was already in full formation, frowned at the rebels outside the city, and asked Yi Fan next to him: "Mr. Yi, these should be Dou Jiande's troops. Didn't Mr. Gao Shida say that?" Won't you send this army out?" Changsun Hengan asked, not because he was afraid of the army in front of him, but if Dou Jiande's strength was greatly reduced, it would not be in line with the rules of raising thieves and respecting themselves that Wan He had formulated before. Planned.
Yi Fan also frowned, looking at the rebels outside the city and thinking for a long time. Finally, his face was full of confusion and he said: "Gao Shida is so desperate to attack Bohai to suppress Dou Jiande's prestige. It stands to reason that even if this battle is lost, Gao Shida will not use Dou Jiande's troops. I don't understand the reason for this."
Seeing that Lian Yifan couldn't figure out the reason, Changsun Heng'an was also a little embarrassed, but he didn't know how to fight this battle. At this moment, the sound of war drums sounded from outside the city, and the five thousand elites outside the city He had already begun to take action. Seeing this, Changsun Heng'an also regained his energy. His experience in counterinsurgency forces in the past few years had taught Changsun Heng'an a lot. At least Changsun Heng'an understood that being indecisive on the battlefield was a fatal mistake. Since If the other party was coming to attack the city, there was no reason for him to give up. Immediately, Changsun Heng'an waved his hand and shouted to the defenders on the top of the city: "The entire army forms an array and defend the city."
"Drink," was just a simple command, and all the soldiers shouted in unison. This scene had happened to them almost every day in the past two months. Even if the enemies outside the city were different, for the defending soldiers , there is no difference, just kill the enemy's ear.
At the same time, the rebels outside the city also began to slowly advance towards the city wall. Facing the arrows that had been poked out from the top of the city, the five thousand elite soldiers were not afraid at all, holding their heads high and holding up their hands. He held up his shield and began to advance step by step. Soon, he was only a few steps away from the bow and arrow range of the city.
And just when the battle between the two armies was about to break out under the city wall, suddenly, from the left of the rebels, that is, from the northeast of Bohai City, there was another burst of war drums, and then, on the horizon, an army was rapidly advancing. The ground was moving towards this side to cover up the enemy. Looking from a distance, this army had at least ten thousand people.
The sudden appearance of the army immediately changed the situation on the battlefield. Wang Fubao's troops, which were slowly advancing, also stopped. Then, they turned back and retreated directly into the rebel camp. The mysterious army that suddenly appeared rushed towards Bohai City. When it got closer, it was discovered that this army was actually all wearing standard black armor. The flag held high in the army read a big " The word "Xue".
Seeing such an army appearing under the city wall, the defenders on top of the city did not dare to take action at will. When the army formed under the city wall, its target was actually towards the rebel camp outside the city. Immediately afterwards, another A general rode out from the army and shouted toward the city: "Open the door quickly, open the door quickly,"
After a long while, there was a reply from the top of the city. A soldier poked his head out and shouted towards the outside of the city: "Where did you come from?"
The general who had shouted before just stationed his horse at the gate of the city, raised his head and shouted towards the city: "Damn, we are the army under Marshal Xue of Zhuo County. I heard that the rebels had raised troops to besiege Bohai, Marshal Xue specially sent us to come to help. Why don't you open the city gate quickly?"
As soon as the general finished speaking, there was an exclamation on the top of the city. You could even faintly hear the cheers coming from above, and then the defending soldier who answered was heard shouting "You wait", and then After a while, there was movement again, and a shout was heard from the top of the city: "You said you are under Marshal Xue, do you have any proof?"
The general paused for a moment, then suddenly yelled at the top of the city: "You bastard, I worked so hard to come here to rescue you, and you still ask questions. Bullshit proof. If you can't open the door, I won't open the door." Let's go, brothers, let's go." After saying that, the general pulled the reins and started walking in the direction he came from.
"Wait, don't go, don't go." Perhaps the general's threat worked. Seeing that the army under the city wall was about to leave, the soldier immediately shouted in panic, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." , let’s open the door, let’s open the door, wait,”
Hearing the shouts from the top of the city, the general who was about to leave stopped his mount, turned around and glanced at the top of the city, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, secretly spat towards the city gate, and then turned to face the people behind him. The more than 10,000 soldiers shouted in a low voice: "Please be alert, I will follow my orders later. Duke Donghai has an order. As long as the city gate can be taken down, there will be endless gold, silver and jewels."
Hearing the general's words, the soldiers wearing black armor all showed red eyes, their faces full of greed. Naturally, this group of people could not be real officers and soldiers, they were all rebels pretending to be, They are a rebel army affiliated with Gao Shida, and the general who just shouted is the leader of this rebel army. As for the armor they are wearing, it was captured by Dou Jiande when he defeated Guo Xuan in Gaojibo that day. The armor of Yan's fierce soldiers.
Although there are many scars on these armors, looking down from the top of the city, there is no need to worry about being seen clearly. Song Zhengben came up with this idea for Gao Shida, let the rebels pretend to be Yan Di warriors The soldiers deceived and opened the gate of Bohai City. When the gate was captured, the army marched straight in and captured Bohai in one fell swoop. Armor and other items were all ready-made, and the military flags were only made overnight. The defenders of Bohai City had been besieged for two days. It has been months since, and there has been no information since the siege. Now that we are seeing reinforcements coming, we will definitely be fooled.
Not long after, the gates of Bohai City, which had been closed for more than two months, were heard to creak and finally slowly opened. The rebel leader was not impatient and did not immediately order an attack. They asked their soldiers to take pictures of the array and wait for the city gate to be fully opened. In the rebel camp in the distance, Gao Shida, Song Zhengben and others were also watching the movement at the city gate from a distance. Behind them, all the rebels The army has gathered at the gate of the camp, waiting for the city gate to be occupied before launching an attack quickly.
"Song Zhengben, look, the city gate is open, it's open." Looking at the city gate slowly opening from a distance, Gao Shida's face suddenly lit up with joy and he almost jumped off his horse. Song Zhengben was so excited for him This plan offered by Xian can be said to be a timely help. If this plan succeeds, Gao Shida's own prestige will definitely soar to the top in one breath. By then, he will no longer have to be restless because Dou Jiande's prestige is higher than his own.
"Sir, don't be anxious. The city gate has not been fully opened yet, and the soldiers and horses in front have not occupied the city gate." Song Zhengben naturally understood why Gao Shida was so excited, but he was much calmer than Gao Shida. This strategy It was him who proposed it, and he naturally had a thorough plan. He must stay calm now and not act rashly, otherwise he would only frighten the enemy and miss the mark.
When the city gate was fully opened, and the buildings in the city could be seen directly from outside the city gate, the rebel leader suddenly became happy, but he was still very steady. Although the city gate was opened, his men Before the soldiers and horses entered, the rebel leader immediately waved his hand and led the soldiers and horses behind him to slowly advance into the city. Although his soldiers and horses could not compare with the elite men of Gao Shida, as long as this More than 10,000 people have entered the city, and he is still confident that he can control the city gate in a short time.
More than 10,000 rebels disguised as Cheng Yan's fierce soldiers slowly entered through the arch of the city gate. However, the rebel leader was cautious and stopped at the city gate, letting his soldiers go in first to explore the way. , seeing that the rebels who entered in front did not encounter anything, the rebel leader felt relieved and slipped directly into the city gate with the last few soldiers.
After entering the city, the rebel leader couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He slowly rode up to his subordinates, and quietly touched the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand, while his eyes wandered around him. , Obviously, the defenders in the city did not take much precautions against themselves. There were no shadows of the defenders around. In a large open space, only the rebel soldiers disguised as officers and soldiers slowly formed a formation, just waiting for the rebels to attack. The army leader's order can launch an attack at any time.
At this time, the sound of war drums sounded again from outside the city. It should be that the rebels outside the city had begun to attack Bohai. The rebel leader knew very well that this was also Gao Shida's signal to them, informing them. They started to take action, and a bang sounded from behind. Behind the rebels, the city gate was tightly closed again, and the rebel leader grinned, showing a ferocious smile, and fiercely pulled out the sword from his waist, shouting loudly He shouted: "My sons, take action, open the city gate and welcome the East China Sea, woo,"
The rebel leader had not finished the last word. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past quickly, and an arrow was like lightning. It flew down from the top of the city and penetrated the city in the blink of an eye. The rebel leader's throat blocked his last word. Looking at the top of the city, Changsun Heng'an, holding an iron bow, snorted expressionlessly: "Do it."
