My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 135 Assault on Wei Kegu

Zhengguang five years, June 25th.

The waning moon in the sky weighed heavily on Yuwen Luosheng's mood, but he quickly composed himself and, led by his guards, entered Wei Kegu's tent.

"I heard that Sanlang has important military information to tell me?"

Yuwen Luosheng nodded and said loudly, "Indeed, if it weren't for urgent military matters, how could I dare to disturb Your Majesty's sweet dreams?"

Wei Kegu laughed heartily, waved his hand dismissively, and then asked, "What military intelligence is it?"

Yuwen Luosheng did not speak directly, but took two steps forward. Wei Kegu's personal guards stopped him with a wary look on their faces, but Wei Kegu shook his head slightly, indicating to the guards to let Yuwen Luosheng go forward.

Yuwen Luosheng glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, but he did not continue forward. He knelt down at a distance of three or four body lengths and said, "Your Majesty... I have received news that the people in Wuchuan City are preparing to abandon the city, and their main force will break through to the southeast."

Wei Kegu didn't react immediately, but instead asked, "How did you know?"

"Your Majesty, a message from our spies in the city came at the risk of their lives. The incident happened so suddenly that I rushed to see Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will make plans as soon as possible."

Wei Kegu's eyes darted around a few times.

The rebels could also gather some information from the city, but they couldn't possibly obtain such precise intelligence as Yuwen Luosheng, who even revealed the main force's breakout direction.

Wei Kegu himself learned that the city was currently rewarding its troops, and there was no surplus food left in Wuchuan City. Where would they get extra food to spend so lavishly? It could only be a way to boost morale before breaking through the siege.

With both pieces of evidence corroborating each other, Yuwen Luosheng's words were credible, and Wei Kegu's doubts were largely dispelled.

Wei Kegu was overjoyed and finally showed a slight smile. He asked again, "Do you know the specific time of their breakout?"

Yuwen Luosheng shook his head, frowned, and said his opinion, "I don't know for sure. I suppose it was within the last two or three days. When I came to surrender, there was not much food left in the city. At that time, I roughly calculated how long we could hold out, and now I think it was pretty much correct."

Wei Kegu squinted his eyes as if he was thinking.

We can trust Yuwen Luosheng for now and make the corresponding adjustments, since we have the advantage in numbers and victory is almost assured.

This can also be seen as the final test of whether the Yuwen family is truly loyal.

If the main force of Wuchuan is heading in the wrong direction during the breakout, then Yuwen Luosheng has deceived him, proving that he has ulterior motives and should be killed. Of course, it is also possible that the information received by his inside agent in the city is wrong, in which case he can only blame his bad luck.

If, as Yuwen Luosheng said, the main force of Wuchuan broke through to the southeast, then it proves that they sincerely surrendered to us. Their reputation and ability are both excellent, and they can be used.

"Somebody come!"

Several more guards entered the tent.

Wei Kegu began to give orders.

"Pass on my military order: at dawn, the entire rear camp will move southeast. Tomorrow we will also reward the troops and order the soldiers to prepare for the next few days!"

"Here!"

The rebels from the east were already willing to acknowledge Wei Kegu as their leader and obey his orders.

Yuwen Luosheng lowered his head, his heart filled with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.

The good thing is that Wei Kegu's guard against him has gradually decreased. Although he doesn't completely trust him, he is no longer as wary as he was at the beginning.

The worry is that we don't know whether Yuwentai has successfully escaped or whether he has sent the news back to Wuchuan City.

But at this point, there is no turning back!

Man proposes, God disposes.

Yuwen Luosheng decided to add fuel to the fire, and he bowed again.

"Your Majesty! I am willing to personally lead my troops to the southeast to join forces in besieging the people in Wuchuan City!"

The last doubts have not been dispelled. What if Yuwen Luosheng goes there and turns against them, and helps Wu Chuan break through the siege?
But we can't say it so bluntly.

With a beaming smile, Wei Kegu helped Yuwen Luosheng up, holding his arm affectionately. "This matter doesn't need Sanlang's help. It's not that I don't trust Sanlang. After Sanlang surrendered, he first persuaded many heroes to come and join us, and now he has provided such crucial intelligence. He has already made a great contribution!"

"If I were to kill my former comrades, it would certainly damage the reputation of the Yuwen family. I cannot bear to do so. The Yuwen family and the many heroes who have surrendered should avoid this battle."

"Your Majesty!"

Yuwen Luosheng bowed again, his eyes instantly turning red and filled with tears. "I only used Your Majesty's reputation to achieve a meager contribution, yet I have received such great favor from Your Majesty. Your Majesty's kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain. I will definitely follow Your Majesty to the death! I will never betray Your Majesty!"

Wei Kegu helped him up again and said, "I will never let Sanlang down!"

"Sanlang, go back to camp and rest first. See if you can find out the specific date for the breakout. Once Wuchuan City falls, I will announce to the entire army that the greatest credit for this battle belongs to Sanlang!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yuwen Luosheng and the others turned and left the camp.

As Wei Kegu watched his departing figure, he thought to himself, "Yuwen Luosheng has indeed made a great contribution. Should I not be so wary of him?"

After he had gone some distance, Wei Kegu summoned his personal guards and whispered instructions to them to remove most of the guards who were ostensibly there to protect Yuwen Luosheng and the others' camp, but were actually there to monitor them.

He could do that, but he still couldn't let Yuwen Luosheng and the others know.

It's time for the final test of loyalty.

"Yuwen Sanlang, you mustn't let me down..."

the other side.

Yuwen Luosheng and his group left the camp, and the guards who had accompanied them earlier were now returning to the camp with them.

They appeared to be joking and laughing, but in reality, Yuwen Luosheng was extremely nervous.

Upon returning to camp, he immediately rushed to Yuwentai's tent, only to find it empty. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "Black Otter must have successfully entered the city, but how do I deceive him..."

At this moment, Yuwen Luosheng could only secretly pray that the guard leader would temporarily forget what happened last night.

He pretended to be nonchalant as he returned to his tent, but inside he was in agony.

Outside the camp.

The guard leader was indeed relaying Wei Kegu's military order to withdraw most of the guards.

"Strange, is someone missing?"

After most of the guards were withdrawn, the guard leader suddenly frowned, feeling as if he had forgotten something.

at this time.

The sky was beginning to lighten, gradually dispelling the darkness that had enveloped the night.

Yuwen Luosheng had already left the tent. Only after seeing dawn did he finally feel completely at ease, just as he turned around.

But then he discovered that the guard leader was right behind him, and his heart jumped into his throat.

Is it...

Discovered?

Although Yuwen Luosheng was terrified inside, his face remained calm, and he even took the initiative to ask, "Is something the matter?"

"Where is Si Lang now?"

"Si Lang has a stomachache and is resting in his tent. Speaking of this, I must thank you all..."

"I am also worried about Si Lang. Could you take me to see him?"

Yuwen Luosheng's smile faltered for a moment, but he quickly recovered, "Why not? You've gone to so much trouble. Come, come, I'll take you there..."

He led the way and happened to come face to face with Evgeny and his group, or rather, this group noticed the commotion.

Yuwen Luosheng exchanged a glance with Nianxian.

Upon arriving at the tent entrance, Yuwen Luosheng was about to lift the tent flap when he swallowed hard and slowed his movements slightly.

Finally, gritting his teeth, he violently lifted it open.

Almost at the same time.

The sound of war drums rang out, and then someone came to deliver a message.

"The people in Wuchuan City have broken through the siege!"

………………

At dawn.

The four gates of Wuchuan City, which had been tightly closed, were opened wide, and cavalrymen, numbering about one or two hundred, immediately rode out of the city.

When leaving the city, there are four directions. After traveling a distance, they will continue to change direction: southwest, northwest, southeast, and northeast.

They became increasingly scattered, eventually breaking out in groups of twenty or thirty people in all directions.

Gao Yu and the others still hadn't left the city.

Heba Yue and his men, however, had made proper preparations. They were wearing armor, with bows at their left waists and swords at their right, and each carried a lance.

"Gao Lang, we part today, and we don't know when we'll meet again. Take care!" Heba Yue, Heba Sheng, Heba Yun, Houmo Chenchong, Li Hu...

These people all came specifically to say goodbye.

This breakout was fraught with peril, and this farewell may be forever.

Gao Yu clasped his hands in response, saying firmly, "We will definitely meet again!"

"Hahaha, great! We'll definitely meet again!"

Everyone took out their leather bags, which contained wine, and drank together.

Heba Yue and the others also prepared to leave the city.

After Zhang Boyao's death, the elite armored cavalry, who only obeyed the garrison commander, were taken over by the Heba family. It can be said that the main force was on the Heba family's side. However, they did indeed serve as the main force for the breakout to attract the enemy's attention.

After Heba Yue and others left the city.

Wuchuan City suddenly became deserted.

Gao Yu is waiting.

For him, the best course of action would be to leave the city and head straight for the southwest after the enemy's main force of breakout, which was completely drawn away from the enemy army.

But this is easier said than done.

It's not like playing a computer game; there's no fog of war, and you even have a God's-eye view, allowing you to understand everything happening on the battlefield in real time.

He can only rely on intuition, which is quite mystical.

On the battlefield, opportunities are fleeting, and what is tested is the general's ability to seize them.

Often you can only act on your intuition; the enemy won't give you time to gather information.

After waiting for a while, the deafening shouts of battle could still be heard from outside the city.

Dugu Xin was right beside Gao Yu. He wanted to urge him several times, but he held back in the end.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Gao Yu's illustrious record speaks for itself.

"Armor!"

As soon as Gao Yu spoke, his soldiers put on their armor in unison, while the most elite armored cavalry, like Gao Yu, took out ghost face masks and put them on their heads.

Unlike before.

Gao Yu didn't say much to provoke the soldiers this time.

After mounting his horse, he turned back to look at the soldiers behind him, his expression solemn and resolute, as if ready to die for his cause.

"Boys!"

Gao Yu raised his lance above his head and shouted, "Follow me out of the city to kill the enemy!"

"The Xuanjia Army!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

Dugu Xin was secretly alarmed. In fact, everyone knew how dangerous the situation they were facing was.

Ordinary soldiers would have been demoralized and unwilling to fight long ago.

But Gao Yu's soldiers, knowing full well the countless difficulties and dangers ahead, still firmly believed they could win!
People are very popular.

The soldiers under Dugu Xin's command were also infected by this high morale and shouted loudly along with him!
Even he himself couldn't help but shout along.

"Wan Sheng!"

Gao Yu then summoned Liu Taozhi and Liu Si, saying, "As long as the people are here, the flag is here; even if the people fall, the flag must not fall!"

"Here!"

The two men raised the flag, and the wind blew it.

The military flag bearing the words "Xuanjia" fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound.

"Out of town!"

Gao Yu personally led the way, also passing through the south gate of Wuchuan City, but after leaving the city, they did not head southeast, but went straight to the southwest.

He was going to help Yuwen Luosheng by assassinating the bandit leader Wei Kegu.

………………

"Report, Your Majesty! The people inside Wuchuan City have broken through the siege!"

"Report from the front: A large number of armored cavalry are breaking out towards the southeast!"

Scouts continuously relayed news from the front lines back to the camp.

Upon suddenly learning that the people of Wuchuan had broken through the siege, Wei Kegu immediately began to suspect Yuwen Luosheng and his group again, as the timing didn't add up...

But when he heard that a large number of armored cavalry were breaking out to the southeast, his doubts were dispelled.

"Damn it, how did they break through so quickly..."

Although Wei Kegu issued a military order before dawn for the army to deploy in the southeast, it took time for the message to be transmitted and for the army to make adjustments after receiving the message.

That's exactly what it is right now.

He knew in advance the direction of the enemy's main force's breakout, but he didn't have enough time to prepare everything.

"The main force breaking out has appeared. Those breaking out from other directions are all bait. We only need to surround the main force breaking out and there is no need to waste energy on the others."

Wei Kegu suddenly stood up and gave the order.

"Go! Order the Right Guard Battalion to attack and surround them!"

"Your Majesty, this is probably not a wise move."

A guard quickly reminded him that Wei Kegu had originally sent troops from Po Liu Han Baling, and his main force was not large. Right now, he also had to send people to keep an eye on Yuwen Luosheng and others. If he sent the Right Guard Battalion out again, it would be too dangerous.

Although Yuwen Luosheng had people watching him, Wei Kegu had previously ordered the removal of most of the guards protecting Yuwen Luosheng and his men. If Yuwen Luosheng and his men were to suddenly defect,

The situation would then become difficult to control.

"What's wrong? Go immediately!"

Wei Kegu also had his own considerations.

Wuchuan is practically an isolated city. Occupying it would be of little use; it would simply allow our soldiers to plunder the city for a few days.

The most important thing now is to surround those who are trying to break through, kill some, and then recruit others.

The soldiers who broke through the encirclement were the elite of the elite. Even if only a small portion could be recruited to serve him, it would greatly enhance Wei Kegu's own strength. It would be a real pity to miss out on such elite troops.

Currently, all three towns in the east revere him. If they can recruit another group of brave warriors from Wuchuan, it would be even better.

By then.

With his strong and well-equipped army, why would he need to lower himself to the level of Poliukhan Baling?

Po Liu Han Baling is a king, and Wei Kegu is also a king. Why should I, as the king, have to obey Po Liu Han Baling's orders?

There cannot be two suns in the sky.

The northern border is destined to have only one sun.

Why can't it be yourself?
"Go quickly, and remember, minimize casualties, capture them alive if possible!"

"Here!"

Next to the Left Guard Camp.

Yuwen Luosheng also heard the shouts of battle outside and was secretly making plans in his mind.

And he received the news very quickly.

Wei Kegu actually sent out the Right Guard Battalion?

Overjoyed!

God really helps me!

After patiently waiting for the Right Guard Camp to move away, Yuwen Luosheng suddenly pulled out a bull horn-tipped knife from his boot and launched a surprise attack on the guard leader in the camp!
Then he shouted!

"Gentlemen, follow me to kill the traitors!"
