Chapter 67: Siege and Aid

When the rear team arrived at Sishui Pass, Gao Jin was impatient with waiting. He took his riders on their horses. This time, he no longer used gold and silk to win over these people who dared to die.

Today is different from the past.

When Gao Jin does not have any prestige, using money is the most straightforward and effective method. However, this bond is too weak. It can inspire people to make progress, but once it encounters a decline, it will be quickly shattered.

He proudly pointed to the east of the pass and shouted loudly and resolutely: "I am determined to march all the way east. Do you dare to follow me?"

"Go together, go together!" The riders didn't hesitate at all.

Gao Jin's spirit trembled, he held the Emei gun, clamped the horse's belly, and galloped wildly.

Thousands of horse hooves behind him also moved slowly, following closely.

Challenging Lei Bo, killing Chen Lan, and winning the battle with minimal losses, Gao Jin has proven his ability with facts, and this ability is also the source of confidence for the riders. As Gao Jin fights bloody battles, aroused

In order to realize their unanimous hatred of the enemy, they tightly united around Gao Jin.

The direction pointed by Gao Jin's spear was the direction in which the knights fought bloody battles. Often after two battles, both Gao Jin and the knights were closely connected.

The war horses galloped, the cold wind was biting, Gao Jin rushed at the front, with fiery hearts behind him. Gao Jin was the soul of this cavalry and also their protector.

Along the way, Yuan Shujun's scouts became more and more dense. Gao Jin didn't take it seriously. A surprise attack was no longer possible, so he might as well fight with real guns. The scouts he sent also came back and reported: "General

, there is a bandit camp twenty miles to the right, the number is about two thousand, and there is no cavalry."

Gao Jin looked indifferent and said: "Kill them and raze them."

"Here..." The horse's hooves stepped on the ground, splashing countless pieces of mud.

Gao Jin has only one magic weapon, the mobility of cavalry. On this Si River plain, as long as the advantage of mobility can be used, there will be no disadvantage. If the enemy is numerous, retreat, if the enemy is few, attack, if the enemy is strong, avoid it, if the enemy is weak, advance. Destroy Yuan Shu.

They carried the army's baggage and harassed their small army of horses.

The soldiers were very fast, and Gao Jin's cavalry only carried three days' worth of food and supplies. Although they took risks, they increased their speed. The reason for this was that Gao Jin imitated the fighting method of the foreign tribes in the north - threshing in the grass valley.

Everything was supplied locally, and now that he had arrived, he had not reserved an escape route for himself.

Two hours later, a large camp was already in sight. The front of the camp was filled with antlers, horses, and grain carts. Groups of Yuan Shu's troops were in position, with dense spears poking out of the fence of the camp, and bows and arrows from the rear group.

They were also preparing their bows and arrows with their hands, and they were just waiting for the cautious cavalry to arrive.

The general of this battalion is named Qiao Rui, and he is a general under Yuan Shu's account. This time he was stationed here. When he heard the scout's report, he immediately put on the defensive to see Gao Jin's power.

Gao Jin stopped his horse and waited for the riders in the rear to catch up. Then he leisurely waved his whip and pointed it at Yuan Shu's camp in front of him and said, "Wen Ze, look at how we should attack?"

Yu Jin frowned: "They are already prepared. I'm afraid it won't be easy to capture them. Even if they are defeated, our army will be severely damaged. General, we must not abandon them."

Gao Jin cheered up and said with a cold smile: "It's a pity to abandon it. All the troops obey the order and follow me!"

Without hesitation, Gao Jin rushed towards Yuan Shu's camp with his gun in hand. Yu Jin had no choice but to rein in his horse and follow. The cavalry behind him responded loudly and galloped forward together.

Hundreds of war horses carrying knights charged towards Yuan Shu's camp like an overwhelming mountain.

Qiao Rui was startled, looking at the black dots getting closer and closer on the horizon, with the sound of horse hooves echoing in his ears. He couldn't help but tighten the handle of the knife at his waist, and asked in his heart, what are these people going to do?

?Using cavalry to attack the camp, it would be nothing if they were attacked by surprise. But even though he had already set up a good formation, these people still dared to charge. Are they crazy?

Qiao Rui was a general after all, so he quickly calmed down, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and said fiercely: "Infantry archer..."

Hundreds of archers began to draw arrows, and the sharp arrow clusters were aimed at the approaching enemy cavalry.

"Gao Jin! Come, let's see what you can do. Just rely on these hundreds of cavalry to break away from my camp!" Qiao Rui sneered.

Hundreds of cavalrymen were getting closer and closer, and Gao Jin's figure was clearly visible. The archers squinted their single eyes and overlapped the arrow clusters with Gao Jin's black spot. As soon as they entered the shooting range, they fired hundreds of arrows.

Getting closer and closer, the rapid hooves of the horse seemed to break through the void, and it was clear to the ears.

Qiao Rui had already drawn out the long knife from his waist, and the blade shone brightly, reflecting a frightening cold light.

Suddenly, Gao Jin suddenly shook his reins, and just as he was about to enter the shooting range of the infantry archers, his horse's head suddenly turned and veered off course to the left side of the camp. The knight behind him also followed Gao Jin and veered away.

"What!" Qiao Rui was confused for a moment, only to see Gao Jin leading a group of cavalry towards the east at lightning speed, and finally got further and further away until they disappeared.

Qiao Rui frowned and thought deeply. He originally thought that the enemy cavalry would launch an attack, but he didn't expect that the attack would stop suddenly before it started. He looked at the direction in which the cavalry team disappeared and said thoughtfully: "If you can practice what is forbidden, you can practice it."

Riding with such skill and so much dignity may not be so simple."

A military commander said: "General, the enemy has retreated."

Qiao Rui did not feel relaxed, and nodded and said: "I know that if we send more scouts, they should not be far away. If my guess is correct, they are still nearby."

This person will not leave easily. Qiao Rui has this feeling, but what will this person do next?

………

Qiao Rui's guess was correct. Gao Jin did not leave. Just like a hungry wolf, when they have chosen the right target, they will wait patiently for a flaw. As long as a flaw is revealed, he will open his bloody mouth.

, bared its fangs and swallowed up the camp in one go.

Hundreds of cavalry took a break not far from the camp, and everyone dismounted and gathered together. The setting sun emitted thousands of rays of light and fell on the plain. People gathered in groups, lit bonfires, and enjoyed themselves.

With this rare tranquility.

Gao Jin looked at the direction of the Qiao Rui camp, lost in thought. Yu Jin, who was beside him, held a water bag, raised his neck and drank some water, wiped the water droplets on his lips and beard, and said to Gao Jin: "General, that camp

It was difficult to capture it in such a hurry, so we still looked for another target. Just now, a scout came back and said that there was also a Yuan Shu military camp fifty miles ahead. Let's go there and try."

Gao Jin shook his head: "It's the same everywhere. If I choose this camp, I must break it."

Yu Jin sighed and stopped talking.

That night, the cold wind was biting to the bones, and hundreds of cavalrymen slept on the spot next to the bonfire. When the sky just emerged, the scouts who had not slept all night rushed over and reported to the sleepy Gao Jin: "General, a team of

The grain team is coming here and will arrive in half an hour."

Gao Jin cheered up, got rid of his sleepiness, and loudly called to the soldiers: "Get up and prepare to meet the enemy."

Babai mounted his horse and waited with Gao Jin in the wilderness. Not long after, a grain team came over and was heading this way. When they saw Gao Jin and others from a distance, they immediately stopped advancing.

"Kill!" Gao Jin reined in his horse and ran away with his Emei gun in the air.

Encountering cavalry on the grain team in the wilderness was undoubtedly a dead end. Hundreds of cavalry followed up, rushed into the grain team and killed them, and this small-scale encounter was over.

Gao Jin ordered the knights to rest where they were. Except for some necessary supplies, all the food and grass were burned. He then found Yu Jin who was covered in blood and said, "Let the soldiers rest for a day. There will be a fierce battle tomorrow."

Yu Jin said: "How can the general be sure?"

Gao Jin smiled at the lit grain cart and said, "The grain and grass for this camp are transported from the place where they store grain. We have cut off their grain road. How many days do you think they can hold on?"

Yu Jin suddenly realized: "At most three days."

Gao Jin pressed his sword and laughed: "That's right, three days. Within three days, they must deliver the food. But with us here, how can this food be delivered? If I were Yuan Shu, I would definitely send a group of people."

We have sent troops and horses to escort the grain and fodder for reinforcements. If we can't do anything to the camp, is it possible that we can't do anything to a tired army in the wilderness?"

"This is called siege and reinforcements. We use this battalion of Yuan Shu's army as bait to defeat the reinforcements one by one."
