Chapter 454: The Great War Begins (47)

"General, there's news, there's news from the fine work in the city!"

Outside Nanpi City, outside Tian Kai's tent, a voice full of heavy joy sounded, closing his eyes slightly in the tent, and it seemed that he was asleep, but in fact, Tian Kai, who was pretending to be waiting for news, woke up. When the soldier shouted these words, Tian Kai's body couldn't help but shake.

Obviously, the news said by the soldiers who came to report the news at this time was naturally to say something related to Nanpi City.

"Tell me, what's the matter!"

Tian Kai's faint voice sounded, but if you see his slightly shaky shoulders, you know that his heart is definitely not as calm as he appears at this moment.

"General Qiqi!"

The soldier opened the tent, strode in, bowed his head, and said excitedly: "General, my subordinates were hiding outside Nanpi City before, and suddenly a flying arrow shot at me. ”

Tian Kai took the arrow handed by the soldier and rubbed his hands lightly on the arrow.

It's not that Tian Kai is perverted and has a fetish plot, but because Tian Kai is observing whether there is a problem with this arrow. I have to say that Tian Kai is still quite careful. At the beginning, he had an agreement with Tang Da, the leader of the fine work in the city, that is, Lu Qing, and when the news was transmitted, a special arrow was used, and Tian Kai made a mark on it, which is usually difficult to find. If Lu Qing was forced to send a signal under the threat to his life, he would definitely not use Tian Kai's special arrows, unless Lu Qing rebelled. However, will Lu Qing rebel? Even if Lu Qing doesn't care about his own life, doesn't he want to think about the lives of his family members who are controlled by him? Therefore, Tian Kai is not worried that Lu Qing will rebel at all. As long as it is his special arrow, it must be accurate information.

A moment later. A smile appeared on Tian Kai's face, because he had already touched the mark. Obviously. This arrow was shot by Lu Qing, and it was completely credible information.

Thinking of this, Tian Kai couldn't hide his feelings, and hurriedly took off the silk cloth on the arrow and checked what was written on the silk cloth.

"The city is in chaos, the door should be opened in the hour, and the siege of the city will be down!"

is a simple dozen words, but it makes Tian Kai's mood as bright as a mountain of peach blossoms. Tian Kai was also glad in his heart, fortunately, Lu Qing violated the military law at the beginning. did not behead him, but included him in the detailed work, so that he made a great contribution to today's capture of Nanpi City, and then he could use this merit to get Lu Qing back to his side. However, Tian Kai suddenly hesitated again, Lu Qing is so talented, it is better to continue to put him in the position of fine work, and he can make more contributions in the future. I didn't know what Lu Qing was thinking in his heart, Tian Kai hesitated for a while.

However, Tian Kai didn't know, and he thought he was going to make meritorious service to Lu Qing. But it was a nightmare experience for him.

Time passed minute by minute in Tian Kai's anxious waiting, and Tian Kai received the news that flying arrows were shot in the city. Tian Kai passed down the order to let the army rest as usual. The patrol of the patrol. Although there were 100,000 troops, he did not dare to guarantee whether there were any fine works of Nanpi City in the army. If there is an abnormal behavior, it may make this plan fail. Therefore. Until the last moment, Tian Kai will not expose his actions.

At that moment, another arrow was shot from the city of Nanpi. There was a silk cloth tied to the arrow, and there were only dozens of small characters on the silk cloth, but seeing these small characters, Tian Kai stroked the short beard under his chin and showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Lu Qing told Tian Kai that the guards at the east gate were already their people, and when the time came, Tian Kai could lead the army to attack, and the city gate should be opened and let them in. Tian Kai had also thought about this problem before, they were attacking the south gate of Nanpi City in the past few days, even if there was Nei Ying to help, but with Tai Shici commanding here, even if he took Nanpi City, his 100,000 army would suffer heavy losses. It's just that he can't contact the fine work in the city, and he can't convey his meaning. Unexpectedly, Lu Qing thought of this problem for him, and shifted the focus of the siege to the east gate. Thinking of this, Tian Kai hopes that Lu Qing can continue to act as a meticulous worker, even if Lu Qing doesn't want to, Tian Kai wants Lu Qing to continue to drum.

"Someone is coming, pass on the general's order, and the army will immediately march to the east gate of Nanpi City!"

Soon, Tian Kai woke up from his contemplation, summoned his own soldiers, suppressed the excitement in his heart and roared and gave an order.

"Whoa!"

It took half an hour to transfer from the location of the south gate of Nanpi City to the position of the east gate of Nanpi City, and now it is a quarter of a quarter of an hour, and there is still three quarters of an hour to rest the army after arriving, which is more than enough time. And the reinforcements in Nanpi City want to support the East Gate from the South Gate, it will take at least a quarter of an hour, and by then, Tian Kai's 100,000 army has already entered the city, with 100,000 troops If he can't take the 20,000 army of Nanpi City, Tian Kai can really find a piece of tofu and die.

At this moment, among the government offices in Nanpi City, a group of civil and military officials under Yuan Chang were also gathering to discuss matters.

"General Taishi, the signal has been sent. ”

Lu Qing stood in the center of the hall, bowed his head and respectfully reported to Tai Shici in the center. Now that he has chosen to rebel, he is naturally fully cooperative.

"Good!"

Tai Shici nodded with satisfaction, looked at Ye Gucheng who was standing quietly with a sword on the side, and felt a burst of emotion in his heart. Although he had seen the five people of Ye Gucheng, he had never seen them make a move, and this time it could be said that Tai Shici's heart was shocked, and he was as fast as the wind and moved like thunder. The fine work in the city was mercilessly killed by the five of them, whether it was the old and weak, women and children, none of them spared. Emotionally speaking, Tai Shi Ci felt a little cruel, but rationally speaking, Tai Shi Ci also knew that there was nothing wrong with doing so. Think about how many people in the city would suffer such harm if Nanpi City was taken by Tian Kai. Thinking of this, the trace of unbearability in Tai Shici's heart disappeared.

"If you repel Tian Kai this time, you will be a great contributor, and it will be enough to offset the mistakes you made in Nanpi City. ”

Lu Qing didn't take Tai Shici's words to forgive his mistakes, and this life can be said to be picked up. Some people will cherish life more after dying once, while some people will be more calm in the face of life and death after they have died. Undoubtedly. Lu Qing is the latter, relative to his own life. He is more concerned about what will happen to his family.

Ye Gucheng held the sword with a faint smile on his face. It looks warm, but it makes people feel cold. Seeing Lu Qing's expression, he naturally knew what Lu Qing was thinking in his heart.

"Rest assured, the second, third, and fifth brothers have already set off for your home, and with their abilities, it will not be a problem to rescue your family. ”

Hearing Ye Gucheng's words, Lu Qing was completely relieved. He naturally knew Ye Gucheng's strength, this was what he had seen with his own eyes, and the brothers who came to Ye Gucheng were not bad. Especially the second brother in Ye Gucheng's mouth. Lu Qing felt that compared with Ye Gucheng, it was not much worse.

"Okay, now that Tian Kai has taken the bait, we can also start preparing. He Juncheng, how are the people in the east of the city evacuated?"

In terms of level, He Wen, the county leader, is naturally a lot higher than the miscellaneous general Tai Shici, except for Yuan Chang, the Taishou, the county commander and the county lieutenant are considered second-in-command. Now that the imperial court has no sovereignty, the local powers have appointed their own generals as generals. Without the seal and medal of the imperial court, he can naturally only be a miscellaneous general. And no matter what era it was, military attachés were always looked down upon by civilian officials, and there were no generals appointed by the imperial court. Usually it is not valued by anyone. Unless it is convincing with its own strength, such as Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Tai Shici and others have all shown their strength at the parade ceremony and have been recognized by the soldiers. Otherwise, Yuan Chang casually appointed a general to take charge of the military power. It is estimated that Tian Kai's 100,000 army only arrived in the city, and the soldiers were in chaos.

But. Before Yuan Chang left, he had already said that he would hand over the power of Bohai County to Tai Shici, for Yuan Chang's orders. No one dared to object, even if Yuan Chang had always behaved very gently, no one dared to underestimate Yuan Chang's orders.

He Wen straightened his robe, stepped forward, and said solemnly: "General Qiyu Taishi, the people in the east of the city have been properly arranged, even if there is a war, it will not cause any harm to the people." At the same time, it also liquidated the people's household assets, and once the losses began to be caused, they would also be compensated after the war. ”

In ancient times, war could break out at any time. And when war breaks out, some stratagems are often used, such as luring the enemy, which will cause incalculable damage to the people. Although it is said that the people are the second to the ruler of your society, in the eyes of the ruling class, the people are still inferior. Civilian casualties as a result of war are normal for the ruling class, and no one has thought about how to compensate them. Even for soldiers who died in battle, sometimes their pensions will be deducted, not to mention these people, I have to say that this is the sorrow of the times and the people.

However, Yuan Chang, as the Taishou of Bohai County, would not let this happen. After he became the Taishou of Bohai County, he said that any damage caused to the people because of the war must be compensated, and if anyone dares to use their brains in compensation, no matter who it is, there will be no forgiveness. The core of Yuan Chang's command are people with big ambitions, and they don't value money very much, so they naturally don't use their brains. However, some of the original officials of Bohai County had ideas, but under Yuan Chang's intimidation, they did not dare to stretch out their criminal hands, and it is unknown whether someone was secretly hiding. Of course, if it is found out, you don't need to think about it to know how serious the consequences are.

"Are the soldiers properly equipped with weapons and armor, and are the materials in place to defend the city?"

Tai Shi Ci's tiger eyes are shining, which makes people faintly intimidating. The words full of momentum made people's hearts shock, as if the commander of a million-strong army was reviewing the soldiers, from this point of view, Tai Shici really has the temperament of a commander.

"General Qiyu, everything is ready, just wait for Tian Kai to take the bait!"

An armored general stepped forward and responded loudly. The strength of this general is not bad, it was temporarily selected by Tai Shi Ci as a deputy general, as for whether he can really become Tai Shi Ci's deputy general, it will not be decided until Tai Shi Ci thoroughly observes.

"Very good, pass on the general's order, everyone is in place, once the order is raised, attack immediately!"

"Whoa!"

Whether it is Tai Shici in the city or Tian Kai outside the city, they are all meticulously prepared. Of course, both sides believe that they are the winning side, and as for the outcome of the game, it depends on the final result.

At five o'clock, Tian Kai's army had quietly moved outside the east gate of Nanpi City. Outside the south gate of Nanpi City, except for the 5,000 soldiers who set up a suspicious array to lure Tai Shici in the city, the remaining 80,000 troops were ready to go, as long as the signal in the city appeared. Immediately able to storm the city. Even if there were details who knew the purpose of the army, it would not be able to reach the city at this moment. Tian Kai had a thick smile on his face, as if he had foreseen the situation of Nanpicheng being trampled under his feet.

The clock ticks by. Although it is only three quarters of an hour, it makes people feel more uncomfortable than living like a year.

Finally, after endless waiting, the time has finally come.

"General, look!"

The deputy general standing next to Tian Kai suddenly exclaimed, and following the direction of the deputy general's finger, Tian Kai clearly saw that the fire in the city was lit up, and it flashed three times before it was completely extinguished.

"Someone. Pass the order, and the army will march!"

Tian Kai saw that victory was coming, and the excitement that had been suppressed for a long time finally couldn't help it, and he said something in a low voice. With the order given, the 80,000-strong army slowly marched towards the east gate of Nanpi City. The distance of five miles seemed to be more than 108,000 miles, perhaps because victory was about to come, Tian Kai felt that his whole body seemed to be a little heavy.

Only three hundred meters away from the city gate, Tian Kai suddenly calmed down. He felt that as a general defending one side, he should be calm and moderate, and this victory was only a small victory, and it was not worth the slightest self-satisfaction.

"Squeak!" "Squeak!"

It's getting closer and closer to the city gates. I could already clearly hear the sound of the heavy city gate opening, the gap in the city gate was getting bigger and bigger, and the half-brother city gate was opened. There is also half of the city gate slowly opening, and at this time. The front troops of Tian Kai's army were only a few dozen meters away from the city gate.

"Charge forward!"

Tian Kai pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed diagonally at the sky. He roared loudly with all his might.

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

When tens of thousands of shouts of killing sounded, Tian Kai vaguely saw Tai Shici's frightened expression in the distance. And the defenders on the city walls did not seem to notice the enemy below the city at all, and there was not the slightest movement. At this time, thousands of soldiers at the forefront of Tian Kai's army had rushed into the city.

Looking at the soldiers on the city wall without the slightest movement, Tian Kai frowned slightly, as if he felt that something was wrong. However, Tian Kai turned his head and thought about it, these soldiers were all carefully treated to those who had become their own side, and it was normal for them to have such a reaction.

Just as Tian Kai was thinking, there were more than 20,000 soldiers who rushed into the city.

"No!

Suddenly, Tian Kai exclaimed, and all the generals beside him were frightened. Just now, Tian Kai thought that the soldiers in Nanpi City were separated from his own people, but it was here that there was a problem. Even if the fine work can divide the soldiers of Nanpi City, it is impossible to divide so much. There are thousands of soldiers on the city wall, if these thousands of soldiers are all separated into their own people, then Yuan Chang is really stupid. However, is Yuan Chang so stupid? Naturally, it is impossible, so it can only show one point, what is happening in front of him is an illusion.

didn't have time to explain anything, Tian Kai shouted angrily: "Someone, quickly give the order to retreat, quickly!"

"Ahh

"Help!"

"What's going on?"

At the same time as Tian Kai exclaimed, wailing, crying for help, and the unwilling and unwilling howls before death sounded one after another. Then, Tian Kai's eyes were cracked to find that tens of thousands of Nanpicheng soldiers suddenly appeared on the city wall, holding boulders and sassal trees in their hands and constantly smashing them down the city.

"Haha, Tian Kai, a certain family has been waiting here for a long time, why is it too late!"

What made Tian Kai even more as if he had eaten a fly was that Tai Shici's voice sounded, and then Tai Shici, who was wearing delicate armor, appeared above the city, and the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be ridiculing him for Tian Kai's incompetence.

"Ah, where are you, Lu Qing, you traitor, you can't die well!"

Tian Kai looked up to the sky and roared, and now he still doesn't know what happened. Obviously, Lu Qing has been rebelled by Tai Shici, so today's plan is obviously an ambush set by the other party.

"Yuan Taishou is the master of the Ming, and he should be obedient. If you don't obey the mandate of heaven and invade our homeland, you will be told that there will be no return today!"

Lu Qing also appeared, bowed to the Taishou Mansion in the city, and said loudly.

"You don't die well! You don't die well!"

Tian Kai said angrily over and over again, of course, at the same time, Tian Kai also made a decision in his heart to arrest Lu Qing's family members and kill them one by one, so that he would know the fate of betraying him. Of course, this kind of thing can't be said openly, otherwise Tian Kai can foresee that the 80,000 army will immediately switch to Tai Shici, and then chop him into meat sauce.

"Boom!"

I don't know when the gate has been closed, and the reason why the gate can be closed so easily is because Tian Kai gave the order to retreat after knowing that he had been tricked. Therefore, the more than 20,000 troops who had already rushed into the city had no way to retreat. Otherwise, if the command was proper after knowing the plan, the army of more than 20,000 people would not have fallen into an isolated situation. Speaking of which, all this is also Tian Kai's dizziness.

"Whoever violates our Bohai territory will never be spared or killed!"

"Kill, never spare!"

Countless shouts and killings full of momentum sounded, and Tian Kai didn't need to see it with his own eyes, but he also knew the fate of the more than 20,000 soldiers in the city. These more than 20,000 soldiers were just strong men he had brought from Qingzhou, and they had not undergone much training, so how could they fight against the well-equipped and well-trained soldiers of Bohai County?

"Help, general, help!"

"I'm waiting for my wish to surrender!"

"Surrender!"

I don't know how long it took, but a series of pleas rang out in the city.

Tian Kai glanced back at Nanpicheng, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and roared, "Retreat!"

Obviously, the final winner of this battle is Tai Shici, and he Tian Kai is defeated!
