Chapter 63: Waiting for the Rabbit (I)
At night, the inky sky covers the earth, silently telling the depth and silence of the night. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the distance, Quyang City lay quietly on the ground, its twisted lines looked a little hideous and terrifying under the faint moonlight. Although it came from the rear of Guangzong, because the surrounding counties had been recovered by the Han court, Xia Quyang closed the city gate early and imposed a curfew.
Under the curfew, there were no lights in the city, and all the people rested early, leaving only more than 100 soldiers at the head of the city to patrol there.
It's just a sentry patrol, saying that it is to survey the wind and grass under the city, but after so many months, everything is calm, and where can there be so much wind and grass to watch.
Yes, these soldiers have long since slackened. Some of the soldiers hid in the towers and fell asleep, and the unfortunate ones who were barely waiting in the towers yawned one after another. There may be one or two conscientious guys in the meantime, staring at the city with wide eyes, but it is really difficult to say how many places they can stare at such a large city.
In short, the entire Xiaquyang's defense can be regarded as empty and slack, and it seems that it can be easily taken down with a little effort.
"Strategist, do we still want to make a show in such a city? Just like him, Wen Chou and I can take him down with a single charge. In the shadows outside the range of the lights from the city, Yan Liang, who was full of flesh, widened his eyes and glanced at the monster-like Xia Quyang City opposite, and said very puzzled to Li Qin, who was only wearing leather armor and holding a big axe.
"Exactly!" Wen Chou didn't say much, but he only nodded heavily to show that he agreed with Yan Liang's words.
Good friends, nothing more than that.
Li Qin didn't say anything about the arrogance of the two, he just laughed slightly, and asked them in a low voice: "Are you talking about charging at night?" ”
"How is this possible. It's dark and dark, and I don't know if I can rush to the city with this group of soldiers. Yan Liang hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this, "I mean daytime." As long as you wait until dawn, you can attack casually, and the city will be taken. Under the command of the lord, there are two generals, three generals, Wen Chou and my four generals, and it should be no problem to take such a small town. ”
"Well, I don't doubt that. It's just that...... If we continue to fight like this, how many soldiers will we have left? If there is a more labor-saving solution, why should we use brute force? Li Qin smiled and shook his head.
Next, he no longer paid attention to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but turned his head to the other side of the two people wearing half-body armor and wearing yellow scarves on their heads: Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao.
"How? Are you ready? Li Qin asked them.
"No problem...... Yuan Jian and I are ready. The general here is called Tao Sheng, who was originally a general under Zhang Liang, and he is not very familiar with me and others, so I guarantee that they will not recognize me. Pei Yuanshao patted his chest and assured Li Qin.
"Then go on! I'm optimistic about you. Come on, and be careful! Li Qin cautiously admonished.
"Hmm!" Pei Yuanshao and Liao Hua nodded heavily, and then walked forward with the team.
The long queue is juxtaposed in twos and threes, and there is no neat formation, just like you support me, and I mix with you, very desolate.
There were about five or six hundred people along the way, and Li Qin, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were also hidden in the army, they were all dressed as ordinary generals and colonels of the Yellow Turban Army, and their figures were hidden behind the banner and other less conspicuous places, and they were about 20 steps away from Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao, who were walking in front.
At that moment, the group moved forward with a big grin, and soon attracted the attention of the patrol soldiers on the city. Although they are generally very slack, but under the faint moonlight, there are 500 people all the way to approach without any hidden meaning, if they don't find it again, I'm afraid they can only be regarded as blind.
Naturally, they weren't blind, so they saw this troop.
The dim night made them unable to see each other's flags clearly, so they were shocked and ran to the city tower to stop the people, and rang the alarm bell on the city tower.
"When! While! While! The sound of the bell rang far and wide in the silence of the night. Xiaquyang City, which was originally quiet, was boiling at this moment.
"What's wrong?" Tao Sheng, who was awakened by the alarm bell, kicked away the snow-white body holding him, and put on his clothes with a nervous face.
At this time, the lights in various parts of the county government have been lit, and many people have woken up from their dreams, but they still can't figure out what happened for a while. They were all a little surprised, wondering why they would be reminded of the alarm bell of the enemy at this time. They were stunned for a while, and finally learned the situation from the soldiers who were rushing from the tower.
“…… Someone unidentified is approaching here? Damn, it won't be an enemy. How many of them are there? Tao Sheng asked with concern.
"Uh...... It's about ...... I don't know...... The black touch is not real. The soldier who came to report opened his mouth, and wanted to say a number randomly, but in the end he gave up, because of the blur of the night, they could not roughly estimate each other.
"You bastards, you don't see it clearly." Tao Sheng gave a leather whip to the man, and immediately turned over his own soldiers to bring horses for himself, and led dozens of personal soldiers to gallop towards the south gate. As he galloped, he gave the order: "Send the message down, and let the brothers in the city get ready." If it's our own people, we don't have anything to say, but if it's an enemy, we have to be prepared to fight hard. ”
"No!!" The soldiers quickly dispersed.
For Tao Sheng's order, they didn't dare to discount anything.
ran all the way, and when Tao Sheng hurried to the city, nothing seemed to have happened on the city. Except for the fact that the atmosphere was a little stagnant, everything was as usual.
"What's going on?" Tao Sheng yelled in annoyance. He hurried over, but what he saw was such a calm appearance, which made him feel like he was being fooled.
"Boss...... It's not that we lied to you, but there are really people down there. We couldn't see it clearly, thinking it was the enemy, but when they arrived, we realized that they were fighting under the banner of General Tiangong. It's your own people......" For Tao Sheng's roar, most of the soldiers on the city tower trembled, and only one bold guy explained to Tao Sheng in a low voice by relying on his identity as a veteran under Tao Sheng.
"Is that so?" Tao Sheng was a little unconvinced, he walked forward in a few steps, shrunk behind the battlement and looked down at the city, and saw that the centaurs standing in the darkness below were indeed under the banner of their own house.
"It's your own people? Then get them in. Seeing that they were indeed their own banner, Tao Sheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately opened his mouth to order.
