Han officials

Chapter 67 The Fighter Arrives
At the same time, Zengdi City also cooperated with the Han army camp outside the city.

From time to time, volunteers from inside the city would randomly launch a surprise attack from one of the four gates. Although the casualties were not heavy each time, they still annoyed the Goguryeo army.

Gao Nanwu was furious and wanted to deal with Zengdi Castle first, but after looking at the top of the city wall, he forced himself to calm down.

After all, compared to the county town, Muzhai is easier to attack.

Moreover, if he really focused on attacking Zengdi City, Gao Nanwu believed that Wei Zhe would give him even more headaches.

So after several unsuccessful attacks on the city, seeing that it was getting dark, Gao Nanwu had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

"Tomorrow, the pioneers will gather the Han people. You can use them as shields and wait for an opportunity to seize the city."

That night, in the Goguryeo camp, Gao Nanwu was seen speaking in a stern voice.

However, the attack on the city the next day was still unsuccessful.

This went on for several days.

As the number of casualties increased, Gao Nanwu's expression became increasingly ugly.

If the Han army camp had not seemed to be in danger and could be taken with one blow, he would probably have given up.

Gao Yanyou and Gao Faqi ran farther and farther away. The two men who were originally somewhat vigilant now completely ignored the Lelang counties.

……

The next day, by the Lieshui River,
Gao Yanyou and Gao Faqi, who were so arrogant a few days ago, are now as panic-stricken as dogs that have lost their homes.

It is said that Gao Yanyou and Gao Faqi were both very proud of themselves when they set out, and wanted to keep trying.

In order to avoid each other from causing trouble, the two even chose different targets.

Gao Yanyou plundered Handan City, and Gao Faqi attacked Simang County.

I have to say that these two people have a very good idea.

However, both Gao Yanyou and Gao Faqi failed this time.

After gathering 3,000 cavalry from various military camps, Gongsun Zhao immediately headed north to cut off the Goguryeo people's food supply.

However, they did not expect that before their food supply was cut off, they would encounter two bandit armies that were looting everywhere.

After the scouts reported the situation, Gongsun Zhao made the decision without hesitation.

No need to say, fuck him!

At the same time, Xi Zhicai also brought 3,000 Daifang garrison troops to support.

If it weren't for the fact that there were only a few veterans in the military settlement, and the rest were just pure farmers, he would have brought more people with him.

Therefore, both Gao Yanyou outside Handan City and Gao Faqi outside Simang County were finished.

With the joint efforts of Xi Zhicai and Gongsun Zhao, they were completely wiped out without any surprise.

Even if Xi Zhicai had not seen that Gao Yanyou and Gao Faqi seemed to be of noble status and ordered them to be captured alive, it is likely that both of them would not have survived the first wave of attacks.

However, even so, when Gao Yanyou and Gao Faqi met in the wilderness, each of them only had three or two cavalrymen left.

Just as they were arrogant when they plundered the Han people before, they were now as panicked as before.

When they saw each other in such a miserable state, the two brothers, who were originally enemies, immediately hugged each other and cried bitterly.

However, the older Gao Faqi quickly came to his senses, immediately jumped on his horse, and ran away.

Upon seeing this, Gao Yanyou started cursing and hurriedly chased after him.

However, before the two of them could run a few miles, they both fell into Gongsun Zhao's hands!

……

The next day, Zengdi was outside the county.

When Wei Zhe came out of the medical room, the confident smile on his face disappeared immediately.

Wei Zhe felt tremendous pressure when he thought of the medical shed full of wounded soldiers.

There was no way out. After several days of fighting, the Han army suffered continuous casualties.

Faced with such a frustrating situation, the generals in the camp asked for battle almost every day.

They would rather die on the battlefield than suffocate to death in such a cowardly way.

But Wei Zhe still refused, and asked only one question:

"The opportunity for battle has not yet arrived!" He said this even in front of his confidants like Zhong Hu and Yuan Jun.

But Wei Zhe actually didn't know when the fighter plane would arrive.

Although he also hopes for a quick victory, it does not mean that Wei Zhe can accept the cost of mutual destruction.

Even if we take a step back and say that Wei Zhe could defeat the Goguryeo people now, the result would only be a miserable victory.

It seems that we have won now, but the plan against the Three Han States is bound to fail halfway.

This is the ending Wei Zhe least wants to see.

Although the Han army seems to be passive now, Wei Zhe actually holds the initiative.

All he was waiting for was an opportunity to strike!

With such a mood, Wei Zhe fought with the soldiers on the wall of the village almost every day.

One reason is to vent the suppressed emotions in my heart, and the other is to observe the battlefield situation more clearly.

It was the same today. After coming out of the medical room, Wei Zhe went up to the village wall again.

"Pfft~"

As Wei Zhe chopped down with his sword, the head of a Xianbei man with shaved hair and a tied head fell to the ground.

This man is considered a warrior, and he was able to take three of Wei Zhe's swords.

So, as a sign of respect, Wei Zhe kicked his headless body off the city wall without hesitation, splitting his body into two pieces. Then he lifted his head and swung it at another Wuhuan soldier.

In this way, wherever Wei Zhe went, the pressure on the Han army guards immediately decreased.

Even if there were one or two troublesome guys, their brains would be smashed after a few blows from Jiao Shan.

The fighting continued until sunset, and the Han army camp, which seemed to be in danger, was never breached.

Just as Gao Nanwu was about to order the troops to withdraw with a gloomy face, Wei Zhe on the top of the city suddenly showed a look of joy.

"The opportunity for battle has arrived!" Wei Zhe laughed and ordered, "Order the troops: march out and attack the enemy!"

Wei Zhe, who had been feeling somewhat tired, now felt full of energy and immediately went down to the city to gather his troops.

A moment later, in Gao Nanwu's surprised eyes, the door of the Han army camp slowly opened.

Then Wei Zhe led his cavalry to counterattack the Goguryeo soldiers who were attacking the city.

Caught off guard, the Goguryeo people were killed and their horses were thrown into chaos, forcing them to retreat.

Seeing this, Gao Nanwu, who was under the big flag in the distance, was both happy and angry.

But seeing the Han army suddenly pouring out in full force, Gao Nanwu quickly realized that something was wrong.

Sure enough, he soon received information from scouts that a large group of enemy troops were coming from the east, and judging by the flags, there seemed to be tens of thousands of them.

At the same time, Wei Zhe was heard speaking in a loud voice to boost morale in front of the battle line:
"Reinforcements from Liaodong County have arrived!"

"Today is the day to achieve great things. All the troops, follow me and kill!"

After saying that, Wei Zhe led a thousand personal soldiers to take the lead, breaking through the enemy's formation and defeating them.

The many Han army infantrymen who followed closely behind also had fanatical expressions on their faces at this moment.

You know, after being stuck in the camp for so long, their swords and knives have long been thirsty.

For a time, the morale of the Han army was high, in stark contrast to the Goguryeo army, which had been under unfavorable siege for several days.

However, Gao Nanwu, who was under the command of the Goguryeo general, immediately shook his head when he heard this.

"Impossible. Even if there were reinforcements from Liaodong County, they should have come from the west."

When he said this, a civil official beside him said worriedly: "Your Majesty, perhaps it is a vassal state of Haidong..."

But before he could finish his words, Gao Nanwu categorically denied it:
"Impossible! Even if the Han people travelled day and night, it would still take half a month."

This is not because Gao Nanwu is stubborn, but because he really hits the key point.

From the news being reported from the Korean City, to Taishi Ci in the Qianmo City receiving the military order to gather troops, to the army setting off.

Even if Taishi Ci is Wei Zhe's man, it will take at least fifteen days.
