Looking at the surrender letter written by Gao Yang himself on the table in front of him, Guo Si's eyes were confused. He knew he couldn't beat him because the strength gap between the two sides was too big. But he was unwilling to surrender because too many Xiliang troops were lost in Gao Yang's hands. Guo Bang estimated that Gao Yang's hands had been stained black by the blood of the Xiliang army. As long as he thinks of those robes who died in battle, who froze to death and starved to death in the wind and snow, Guo Bang couldn't control the anger in his heart! "I don't want to surrender to Gao Yang." Guo Bang slowly closed his eyes and said, "If any of you want to defect to Gao Yang, or are tired of fighting, you can make your own decision, and I will never stand in the way." Xiliang Army After hearing the words, the generals immediately started whispering to each other, and the sound of discussions was endless. This is a big matter concerning their family and life, so they can't help but be cautious! The current Xiliang army is nothing more than a group of remnants and defeated generals. However, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses were trapped in a small area near Tianshui. They lacked military rations, armor and weapons, horses and livestock, and salt and cloth. They lack everything. Originally, they could hold on gritted their teeth when facing Han Sui, Ma Teng and others, but facing the well-armed Gao Yang army, they had no confidence at all. Guo Si naturally knew about this situation, so he gave everyone a choice. Those who want to stay and hold the glory of the Xiliang Army will die together. Those who want to leave alive can also choose to leave. In the end, more than 4,000 people were willing to stay in Tianshui City with Guo Bang. Most of the other soldiers dispersed. Some went to the Western Regions, some surrendered to Gaoyang, and the rest all went home. "Oh?" Gao Yang showed a shocked expression after receiving the news. He really didn't expect these Xiliang troops to have such firm beliefs. Even in this completely desperate situation at this moment, there are still so many people who choose to die generously. Since ancient times, Qin soldiers have endured hard battles. This sentence is not unreasonable. "These are all real samurai." I thought about the performance of the various princes in Kanto and their soldiers and horses. Gao Yang shook his head slightly. When did Kanto, who was originally extremely tough, gradually become depraved? ¡°Huh~~~¡± Gao Yang, who frowned, let out a long sigh of relief, and his eyes gradually became firm. Looking around at the many generals in the military tent. He said in a deep voice, "Since they chose to resist, let's march in. Respect the enemy. We also respect ourselves!" "Here!" Dozens of brightly armored generals responded in unison. This is a completely unequal battle. Although Han Sui, Ma Teng and others were also unwilling to submit voluntarily, they also sent envoys to inform Guo Si that they would come to support. However, in front of Gao Yang's army, which marched and fought like lightning, all these struggles were in vain. When Han Sui and Ma Teng gathered their troops and horses in the Jincheng area of ??Wuwei, they drove towards Tianshui in a mighty manner. The forward Jingqi led by Huang Zhong had already raided thousands of miles and arrived at Tianshui City in just a few days. "Don't go and die, block the city gate and prepare to defend the city." Guo Bang stood on the city wall of Tianshui and watched another Xiliang general outside the city being knocked off his horse by a white horse boy. . Said silently. "When thousands of fine cavalrymen under Gaoyang's army suddenly arrived at the foot of Tianshui City yesterday, the defenders in the city were greatly shocked. No one thought that these Gao Yang troops would come so quickly! It is thousands of miles away from Chang'an to Tianshui. And there are no easy roads along the way. It would be no exaggeration to say that it is all in the wilderness. The Xiliang army could not understand how the cavalry outside the city could gallop thousands of miles in such a short period of time. Aren't they worried that the war horse will be scrapped? In fact, the reason is not complicated. In addition to being well-trained, well-supplied with supplies, and with high morale, the sergeants were well-trained. The biggest reason is that the cavalry under Gao Yang's command have completely changed their equipment, and they all use horseshoes, saddles, stirrups and other riding equipment designed with modern technology. When logistical supplies are guaranteed, a surprise attack within a short period of time becomes possible. Those who can choose to stay in Tianshui are basically brave warriors with death aspirations. They value reputation more than life. After dawn the next day, the brave warriors went out of the city to seek a duel. "On the opposite side, there was only one young white-horse general in the Gaoyang army, holding a point steel gun. He defeated more than ten Xiliang generals with just his own strength! Although the strength of these Xiliang generals cannot be compared with the generals of the Kwantung Allied Forces who were defeated by Gao Yang in front of Hulao Pass. But these people are not weak. The enemy of a hundred people still has the strength. However, the unknown white-horse young man on the opposite side is obviously an enemy of ten thousand people.?In a short period of time, he defeated more than ten opponents one after another, shocking the whole audience! Guo Si was already desperate in his heart. There are countless capable people and strangers under Gao Yang's command. A little-known young player is so powerful! Guo Si didn't know what to say at this moment. Hearing the excited cheers of the cavalry outside the city, Guo Bang slowly closed his eyes. After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, holding the city wall arrows tightly with both hands, and shouted to the young general who was galloping back and forth on his horse outside the city, "Who are you?!" The young general obviously heard Guo Bang's call. , reining in the war horse and looking towards the Tianshui city wall. Taking a deep breath, he shouted loudly, "I am Changshan Zhao Zilong!!!" A few days later, Gao Yang personally led a large number of elite main forces to the foot of Tianshui City. The soldiers and horses, which had high-yang storage space to provide logistical support, were also marching very fast. By the time Gao Yang arrived at Tianshui City in person, the number of soldiers and horses surrounding Tianshui was close to 50,000! "Get ready to start." Looking at the slightly dilapidated small city not far away. Gao Yang shook his head slightly, sighed, and ordered softly. Such a city has no decent solid walls. The number of defenders is no more than a small city with only a few thousand soldiers. How to survive under the siege of the army? These brave warriors chose to burn the last light of their lives for the persistence in their hearts! Thousands of dismounted cavalry, led by the trapped camp, rushed toward Tianshui City carrying the sturdy ladder Gao Yang took out from the storage space. Behind them were tens of thousands of crossbowmen armed with serial crossbows to provide fire support. Gaoyang¡¯s storage space contains all kinds of large siege equipment. But in order to avoid unnecessary trouble. Although it is almost on the verge of exposure. But Gao Yang still tried his best to hide these obviously unreasonable things. Under the baptism of arrows flying all over the sky, the defenders on the low Tianshui city wall could hardly raise their heads at all. As ladders were erected on the city wall, the anxious defenders took great risks and threw down all the prepared defensive equipment. Rolling stones, rocks, and bottles were all thrown down with all their might. Originally the defenders thought they could kill and injure a large number of siege troops no matter what. But when those trapped soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding huge shields climbed up the city wall on ladders, the defenders went crazy. The powerful Guo Si who was trapped in the camp knew about it. After all, he was known as the strongest fighting force under Lu Bu. However, what he didn't expect was that the combat power of the trapped camp who had not seen him for a while and appeared on the battlefield as an opponent again exceeded his imagination. The thick double-layered armor makes people feel dizzy just looking at it. With Guo Bang's martial arts skills, he personally rushed forward and used the sword in his hand to slash violently, but he could not break the armor! The sturdiness can be imagined. This kind of battle cannot continue at all. This was just a one-sided massacre. The narrow Tianshui city wall is densely covered with people. The Xiliang army defending the city and the enemy troops attacking the city were entangled. The sounds of fighting, screams, curses, and weapons clashing came together to form a battlefield sonata. From time to time, many tough Xiliang troops roared and rushed forward. Several people worked together to hold the sergeants who were trapped in the camp and fell from the city wall. This is also one of the few means of killing for the defenders. But under the sharp attack of the trapped camp, the originally small number of defenders was quickly suppressed. After the armored cavalry following the trapped camp climbed to the top of the city, this one-sided battle could be declared over. It is different from the trapped camp who likes to use heavy weapons such as swords, chains and hammers. The cavalry under Gao Yang's command have been the favorites of all cavalry since they were equipped with serial crossbows. When these cavalrymen, holding weapons in one hand and serial crossbows in the other, climbed onto the city wall, they used sharp arrows to knock the poorly armored defenders to the ground in pieces. Guo Bang knew that the battle was over. There is no brutal offensive and defensive tug-of-war as imagined before. There was no Tianshui City to attract the enemy. Han Sui and Ma Teng, who came from Jincheng Wuwei, had their fantasy of a successful raid in one fell swoop realized. Gao Yang only used one attack to completely defeat Guo Si's illusions. When a large number of siege sergeants rushed into the city from the city wall with shouts, Guo Bang closed his eyes in pain. Thousands of the bravest warriors of the Xiliang Army could not hold on for even half a day! How could the troops on the opposite side be so powerful? Have you all taken the elixir? ! "Huh~~" Guo Bang sighed as he slowly opened his eyes, looked at the guards who were still following him at this moment, smiled bitterly, and said, "I am the one who has caused you trouble." "General, why are you here? This??? "A majestic bodyguard with a ferocious scar on his face grinned and responded, "They are all killers who live by adding blood to their swords. Who among us has never had someone else's blood on his hands? It is only natural to die here today! We will not regret being able to follow the general in this life! " "We have no regrets! "Dozens of guards responded in unison. "Okay! "Guo Bang raised his head slightly to prevent the tears in his eyes from flowing down easily. After a heavy response, he slowly raised the long knife in his hand and looked at the approaching Gao Yang army not far away. He took a deep breath and rounded Opening his eyes, he swung the long knife forward suddenly and shouted "Kill!" " "kill! " A tragic and heroic charge to the death is both the beginning and the end.
