Chapter 70 Catching a Life (9)

The Guangbian Army (Diao'e Town, Chicheng County later), the border wall here just blocks the road to Baishui City (Chichen County) to the north and the Western Yanghe River Valley. There is a path to reach Guichuan County (Yanqing District later), and a path to the south to reach Guizhou City (Huairong County, near Huailai County later), and a path to reach Guizhou City (Huairong County, near Huailai County later). The geographical location is extremely important.

After being captured by the Shattered Ye Army, Yang Shouzhong led a thousand Xi tribes to defend the place.

At the beginning, Yang Shouzhong was only willing to take the tribal cavalry of Qie's troops to fight in the wild. Although Sun Xiurong and the Sailing Ye Army had already conquered him, it was still not enough compared with the Tang Dynasty.

What's more, his tribe has been next to Guizhou and Youzhou for thousands of years. From the Northern Wei and Northern Qi, they all had peace with the Central Plains dynasty. The Tang Dynasty is probably the most powerful Central Plains dynasty that his tribe has ever seen. If the Tang Dynasty was annoyed because of Sun Xiurong, he would definitely not be able to take advantage of it.

But Sun Xiurong seemed to see this. He did not ask Yang Shouzhong to follow him to Guizhou, but asked him to guard the Guangbian Army.

At this time, the Guangbian Army City Wall was actually a structure that was convex from north to south, similar to the horse-face wall outside the Central Plains City. It was just a wider horse-face wall. With the horse-face wall on both sides, the middle wall became an inner city, and the horse-face wall on both sides was an outer city.

Due to the power of the Tang Dynasty and the fact that there is no powerful tribe in the Mobei area at present, the Tang Dynasty did not repair the outer walls, and only repaired the edge walls in areas with county towns or military towns. Other edge walls were set up beacon towers to convey messages.

Since the Xi people were in the hinterland of Yanshan Mountain, there were a large number of herders stationed in Chicheng County in later generations, so the Tang Dynasty set up three strongholds near the nearby border walls, starting from the Guangbian Army (Hou Diao'e Town), and from east to west were Longmen County (Later Longguan Town) and Baiyang Town (Later Chongli District).

Originally, Longmen County had the most military power. When Yang Shouzhong's Qiyi tribe built Baishui City (near Chicheng County), the Tang Dynasty naturally placed the focus of defense from Longmen County to Guangbian Army, and then the horse-faced wall that protruded to the north was built.

In other words, in the north of Guizhou, the two hundred-mile walls repaired in the Northern Qi Dynasty have reached the present, and only the section from Baiyang Town to Guangbian Army is relatively complete. Since they are all in the mountains, the most intact section from Longmen County to Guangbian Army is actually the only section from Longmen County to Guangbian Army, which is about fifty miles long.

After receiving the order from Wu Chengen, Gao Tinghui, a native of the Qingyi Army, immediately rushed to Longmen County with his three hundred elites from the northeastern Yi. From there, he transferred two hundred elites from the Jinrui from there and drove east along the city wall.

Speaking of Gao Tinghui, in history, he and Yu Wenjing were both powerful generals who were known as enemies of thousands of people. Later, they were both subjugated by Li Guangbi. The three of them stood out in the selection of the Jump Camp in Youzhou. Li Riyue was a Xi person, Yu Wenjing's mother was a Qiang person, and only Gao Tinghui's origin was unknown.

In fact, he is not a Goguryeo, strictly speaking, he is a Fuyu native.

After the Fuyu Kingdom was destroyed by Goguryeo, the King of Goguryeo established Fuyu County in Fuyu County, Jilin Province in later generations, and specially arranged Fuyu nobles and their descendants. After the demise of Goguryeo, some of these Fuyu people became Huangtou Shiwei and Daguryeo, some of them became part of Sumo Shishi, and the rest were moved to Yingzhou by the Tang Dynasty with the demise of Goguryeo.

When Sun Wanrong rebelled, these Fuyu people also made a fuss, and later they were naturally killed. The rest of the people scattered into the Han people and disappeared in the Khitan.

Gao Tinghui was a Fuyu native who scattered into the Han people. He was only twenty-five years old this year, but he followed his parents to Guizhou at the age of fifteen. Because of his bravery and good combat, his Gao family became a soldier who served as the governor of Guizhou. After the Wu Chengen brothers took over, Gao Tinghui stood out and became the Du Yuhou of the Qing Yi Army.

Gao Tinghui was tall and thin, with a calm face and no beard. In fact, most of his three hundred Yuhou soldiers were Khitans, Goguryeo and Mohe who fled in scattered after being defeated by Li Jinzhong and Sun Wanrong. They all gathered under him because of Gao Tinghui's courage.

Of course, during the Daxing period of the Fuyu people, around the BC, the Fuyu people were mostly mixed with blood from Han people, Mushi people, and others. Some became part of the Gao family in the Bohai Sea, and some became part of the Gao family in Liaodong, and Gao Tinghui was a descendant of the Gao family in Liaodong.

Gao Tinghui's name was unknown in the Tang Dynasty. Apart from being a little bit of Li Guangbi's background, he had no more words, but his descendants did not insult him.

Gao Xingzhou, a powerful general in the Five Dynasties, was his descendants!

In April, the weather was still extremely cold at night, but Gao Tinghui was still determined to run with 300 people on it. When he was about ten miles away from the Guangbian Army, he stopped.

Below the city wall, there was a small team of his, all descendants from the Marine tribe. They were best at walking through the mountains. In the middle of the night, the team brought him news.

"Marquis Du Yu, we found out that the ones occupying the Guangbian army were a group of Xi people, about a thousand people, who guarded the four gates."

(Four city gates: In addition to the city gates with north and south horse-faced walls, there are also small doors connecting the side walls on the east and west sides. They are built on the city walls. The enemy building with hidden soldiers is supported. They are open on weekdays and closed in the evening according to the rules. The side walls with enemy building will be much higher than other places. Even if it is an enemy building, if you want to come from the walls on both sides, you need to go up along the stone steps)

"Oh?" Gao Tinghui's expression suddenly became serious when he heard this. He knew the general of the Guangbian Army. He was a familiar Khitan general who also came from the Dance Camp. He had both civil and military affairs and was well-organized. He could not be captured by a tribal leader like Yang Shouzhong in just one encounter.

Such a place is actually similar to Chen Cangcheng, which was attacked by Zhuge Liang in his previous life, guarded by Hao Zhao, a famous general of Cao Wei. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In the absence of siege equipment, it is difficult to believe that Yang Shouzhong can take it down in a short time.

After taking this place, it was not possible for someone like Yang Shouzhong to rage Guizhou.

So, there is only one possibility.

"The entire Xi tribe has been dispatched. If that is the case, Yang Shouzhong will stay and Li Yanchong will be able to rage the Guizhou area with the Xi army. However, it is only possible that it will be possible to attack the unguarded city walls on both sides. It is impossible to attack this place with a hard bridge and a hard horse."

"Although the Xi people lacks laws, they are more brave. How can I take down the Xi people with this number of troops?"

......

Just as Gao Tinghui led the Yu Hou army of the Qing Yi army to the Guangbian army, two people were slandering and moving towards the side wall in the mountains northwest of the Guangbian army.

I'm afraid careful readers can guess that these two people were Lei Wanchun, Nan Jiyun, and the queen who escaped from Wu Chengyan at the Shanbei Quechang, and then they had a fierce debate.

According to Lei Wanchun's idea, no matter what the Tang Dynasty is, he will not betray the Tang Dynasty. At most, he would climb over the wall and go back to farm. However, since the two of them rescued Li Jixun, they have mostly become wanted criminals. What is the biggest place in the world?

Furthermore, Lei Wanchun is not like Nan Jiyun. He is over forty years old and has his wife and children at home. How can he leave him easily?

But Nan Jiyun is different. Although he is thirty-three years old this year, his wife passed away a few years ago. Before his death, the two gave birth to a few children, but they all died. Now he is still alone. It’s not that he doesn’t want to go back to farm, but he wants to go to the grassland to see and then go back.

In the end, Nan Jiyun, who had little knowledge, could not tell Lei Wanchun. After distinguishing the direction, the two of them marched towards the mountains in the south, hoping to find the side wall and sneak past them.

According to Lei Wanchun's idea, "Balang (Nan Jiyun Xingba), it is impossible to go back to Zhuolu or Weizhou directly, but we can't just go on the grassland. It's too dangerous. It's better to go back to the side wall first and then walk east along the side wall. I heard that, except for a few places, there are military soldiers guarding this outer wall, most places are no one."

"We are all exquisite people. When we encounter a place guarded by military soldiers, we will go down and rest in places without people. It is better to go on a random trek on the grassland. If we walk in the mainland without documents, we will be unable to move forward. We will walk all the way to Yingzhou. It is said that the governor of Yingzhou, An Lushan, is very careless about the Han people in the country and loves brave people very much."

"You and I are both people with unique skills. When you arrive in Yingzhou, you will farm, or join the army, you will be able to return to each place after the storm passes, how about it?"

Nan Jiyun could not resist him and had to follow him. The two of them were indeed skilled in martial arts. They went south along a steep valley and saw the side wall not long after. After asking the shepherd, they knew that there was the Guangbian Army nearby, so they were naturally overjoyed and decided to walk straight east along the side wall.

At night, the two of them climbed up the side wall and rested on it.

On this day, the two of them arrived near the Guangbian Army. Because of the large number of soldiers on it, they did not dare to be reckless.

Not far from the north of the Guangbian Army was a tent. However, since there was only one transaction a year, it was abandoned after the rise of the Shanbei Army. Even so, there were still water sources, houses and facilities there. Sometimes it was a place where the Yuhou Army of the Guangbian Army went out to investigate and rest. Now there was no one, which was cheaper for these two people.

In the middle of the night, the two of them talked for a long time, and just now they were sleeping in a daze when a noise woke them up.

The two of them were still spears, swords, bows and arrows snatched from the Qingyi Army, and they quickly stood up. After finding out that there was no movement around them, they touched the walls of Guangbian Army and hid in the night. They saw fire on the top of the city, shouting and killing sounds endlessly, as if two teams were fighting.

"Big Brother", Nan Jiyun frowned, "Why is this? It is said that the enemy of the Guangbian Army can only be the Xi people in the north. If the Xi people want to attack the city wall of the Guangbian Army, they must pass through us. Could it be that they had attacked before and occupied the border wall, and the Tang army was counterattacking again after learning about it?"

Lei Wanchun shook his head, "Who knows? Why not take a closer look?"

So the two of them quietly approached under the city wall.

At this time, the shouts of killing on the city wall were much clearer. The two of them were lurking at the same time, just slightly lower than the height of the city wall. At this time, the movements on the city wall were clearly visible (such places are naturally guarded by the Tang army. After the Thunder Ye Army captured them, they were under Yang Shouzhong. Who is Yang Shouzhong? With the city, how could they drink the northwest wind in the wild? So they abandoned this place and all went to the side wall)

Of course, Gao Tinghui and his party came.

After approaching the enemy building, they took advantage of the Xi people's neglect to defend, tied the rope to the female wall. Then they did not attack the west gate of the enemy building, but crossed the enemy building and went straight to the east gate of the enemy building. This time, the Xi people were surprised. The Xi people were not guarding the east gate of the enemy building and the west gate of the city gate building (that is, the enemy building on the gate of the north horse-faced wall). Gao Tinghui unexpectedly took down two city gate towers in one fell swoop!

Next is the time to fight.

Compared with the Xi people with simple equipment, the Yuhou Army of the Tang Dynasty was extremely well-equipped.
