Chapter 1237: Night Attack
The generals who accompanied the army with Chu Shaoyuan were Xiao Rui and Zheng Rong, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, as well as Jian Anli and Song Yunfeng under his command, and Lu Han, the son of Lu Zhengming's family, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also surveyed the terrain before and after the saddle and reported to Chu Shaoyuan.
"The few soldiers who were captured before are still built here?" After Chu Shaoyuan heard the terrain of Lu Han's announcement, he raised his eyes and asked the generals who were guarding the city.
The general who defended the city was named Bai Yi, who had been guarding Qinzhou City for seven or eight years, and knew every road and every bridge in the city well, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "If you go back to the emperor, you are here, but a few people have just been caught and bit their tongues and committed suicide, and now there are only two people left, who were locked in the dungeon by the ministers, and have been interrogated, saying that the rebel king sent them to poison the moat, but the matter was revealed before the poison was done." β
Chu Shaoyuan's eyebrows narrowed, and he said angrily: "Poisoning? It's a shame that the fourth child came up with such a vicious method, he doesn't take the lives of others seriously, if his father is still there, he will definitely be angry for him again," In the end, he couldn't help but grit his teeth, "This evil obstacle!
When the four princes left, even if Yan Yunwei followed and guarded the four princes, Chu Shaoyuan still had a chance to start, he thought that the fourth prince would never come back one day when he went to Jiangnan, and Emperor Wen also had the heart to protect the lives of the four princes, so he didn't do it, but now when he thinks about it, he can't stop being annoyed, if he had ended this matter early, where would there be these troubles now!
For a while, the study was terrifyingly quiet.
"Go, spread the news that I'm coming, and be sure to let the fourth child hear about it!" Chu Shaoyuan stood with his hands down, his eyes staring at the sky outside the window, his expression gradually becoming serious, "If it is not expected, he will definitely take the opportunity to attack at night tonight, and then he will come to an urn to catch turtles, these days, let me take a good look at whether he has grown." β
This is to lure the enemy into battle, Xiao Rui nodded, "Most of the troops gathered by the four princes are tenant farmers, there are very few military households, and the quality of the army is uneven, it is a night attack, and the people who come are very likely not to be the main force, the four princes have no interest in marching and arranging the formation since they were children, and there is only one general around him at this time, and even the governor and governor of Jiangnan are unwilling to get involved in this matter, he is just a momentary bravery." There is no need to guard the city too tightly, but it is not good for people to let people talk, leave a gap for the rebels, and after luring the rebels into the city, they will be slaughtered again, which can not only play the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, but also not hurt the soldiers I release. β
According to Xiao Rui, the behavior of the four princes who entangled the army like a child's play, but did not even find a suitable general, was similar to the way he felt that he had lived too long and wanted to find a rope to hang himself, so he was not worried about this war at all, but was quite dissatisfied with Chu Shaoyuan's practice of driving the expedition in person.
Even if he is an emperor, he must cherish himself, this is the case, and there is no room for any mistakes, not to mention that he as the emperor, once the emperor is personally conquest, he will not know how much the cost along the way is, only the officials in charge will know, invincible and invincible, this kind of thing only exists in the emperor alone, if there is no successor supply of grain and grass, it is difficult for the emperor to do it, but since it is the emperor who drives the expedition in person, there will be no situation where the grain and grass cannot be supplied, so Xiao Rui, who made a fuss about this matter, felt a little embarrassed and difficult to persuade, so he had to open his eyes and close his eyesγ
"This matter will be handed over to General Xiao, and I will supervise the battle on the city tower, and I will just take a look at what the fourth child has become now. β
Chu Shaoyuan arranged the matter, turned around and went down to make up for sleep, it can be said that there was no delay at all, he was neither hypocritical nor greedy, and he was fighting step by step in an orderly manner.
When the news reached the ears of the four princes, the whole body of the four princes was about to explode, and he stared at the Qinzhou city tower under the sunset, and the hatred in his eyes almost wiped out this ancient city.
"Chu! Shao! Yuan!" The fourth prince gritted his teeth as if he had his teeth grinded his teeth, "He dared to come here with a swagger, he was not afraid that this king would kill him! He even dared to ascend the throne, thinking that others did not know how he got his seat? He didn't know how to come here, and he still publicized it with great fanfare, really thinking that this king was afraid of him?
"Lord Wang, at this time, we still have to think long-term, otherwise everything will have to ......"
"Think about it in the long run?" the fourth prince sneered, "The arrow has to be sent on the string, but you come to talk to this king about the long term? What kind of heart are you? Someone! Pull him down and beat him with forty military sticks!"
The people who spoke didn't dare to speak anymore, and the night attack manpower arranged by the four princes was also to be determined, but this night attack, the four princes still had some expectations, and he arranged for the best strikers among the soldiers, almost all of these people were good hands, but they had followed the four princes for too long, and they didn't go through any big battles along the way, so they were lazy.
When the four princes instructed these people, most of them were not optimistic about this night attack, and there had been a night attack before, but they died before they left the school, and they saw this kind of thing too much, and they were wooden, and they no longer wanted to be in the limelight.
So when the night came, although this group of people were ready to move forward, they were still lazy with each other, and the swords in their hands were even unsheathed early, as if they were afraid that others would not be able to see clearly under the moonlight a group of soldiers with bright swords sneaking up on Qinzhou City.
The fourth prince rode on his horse, and watched his soldiers move forward little by little, he imagined that the third child was disturbed by this group of night raiders, suddenly woke up from his sleep, and then scurried around, he laughed happily when he thought of that scene.
The people who followed the four princes around him felt a little dazzling when they saw his smug appearance.
The night raiders advanced very smoothly, sneaking from the four gates, here and there, the soldiers who harassed the Qinzhou City guarding the city were not peaceful, until the stalemate after more than half an hour, the south gate of Qinzhou City was torn open.
The fourth prince sat on his horse, looking at the tearing opening at the south gate and the advance of the soldiers, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly commanded loudly: "Hurry up! Go to the south gate! Be sure to tear the gap in the south gate wider."
