Chapter 1442: Capture of Bright Moon City (10)
Nangong Bing tilted his head and thought for a while, feeling that it seemed that Zhao Hu really had a better chance of winning, and when he thought of this, he immediately became excited: "Third uncle, if the lord becomes the master of this land, wouldn't our Nangong family be able to rise immediately?" ”
Nangong Dun sighed: "If we don't do anything, I'm afraid that the entire family will be completely destroyed at that time." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoDon't forget what the lord sent me back for in the first place, not only did I not take any action, but how to prepare to take refuge in Bright Moon City. ”
Nangong Bing immediately panicked, he just cared about being happy that the third uncle was Zhao Hu's first batch of retainers, but he didn't expect that the third uncle didn't make any credit at all, and even betrayed Zhao Hu for a time. He hurriedly said, "Then what should we do?" Immediately hand over the secret guard to the lord? Or cut off the head of the city lord of Mingyue and dedicate it to the lord? ”
"The secret guards need all the elders and the head of the family to sign before they can be used, and those old stubborn people have not seen the solid evidence and will not agree to change their allegiance, and they are now full of thoughts about how to get the reward of 1,000 stones.
"As for assassinating the Bright Moon City Lord? Is a city lord so easy to assassinate? Unless ten guards are dispatched and a lot of time is spent lurking, there is a chance that someone like us will be shot into a hedgehog before we can get close. Nangong Dun shook his head and said.
"So what to do?" Nangong Bing asked nervously.
"We can only contact the lord now, and at the same time gather all the warriors in the family who are willing to obey our orders, and cooperate with the cavalry to intercept and kill those private soldiers in Bright Moon City, and other great credits can only be earned during the siege of the city." Nangong Dun said.
"Third Uncle's method is good, we can also bleed the book, bring out those surviving secret guard candidates, let them sneak into the vicinity of the city gate and wait for the opportunity, and when the lord attacks the city, take the opportunity to open the door and capture or kill the Mingyue City Lord at the same time, so that the two biggest credits belong to our family!" Nangong Bing said excitedly.
"Well, it looks like you're starting to learn how to work for the family. The task of contacting the lord will be entrusted to you, and I will lead the team into the city to lurk. Remember, as the young master of the Nangong family, you must behave decently and respectfully, because even if you become the head of the Nangong family, he will be the lord of our family at any time.
"But don't tell the lord about sending someone to open the city for the time being, after all, we can't guarantee success, and it's not good to say it sooner. You can say it when the city is broken, and I'll give you the signal. Nangong Dun said with a serious face.
Of course, Nangong Bing knew the importance of this matter, and nodded fiercely.
Seeing Nangong Bing leave with a few guards, Nangong Dun turned his gaze to the towering Bright Moon City, gritted his teeth slightly, and turned around and left with the remaining guards.
It was getting late, the city was on fire, and the guards in the city began to work strictly. However, the main focus was on the strict prevention of spies, and no special attention was paid to the defense of the city.
I don't blame them for being so careless, you must know that no fool will walk at night in this year, because the road facilities of this era guarantee that you will fall half to death not long after you go out at night.
Night Raid? No matter how powerful the general is, he will not issue this order, because the troops are rushing in the dark, at least they will be scattered due to blurred vision, and at the same time, some people will take the opportunity to become deserters.
What's even worse is that there will definitely be some people who either fall and fall to death while walking, or are trampled to death by their own people.
As for the torches? It was not a night attack, but an open fire to the death, and the enemy hiding in the darkness could shoot the torch bearer as easily as a target.
Therefore, in this era, there will be no night raids between the two sides in battles, and it is impossible to fight at night in the field, unless the enemy and us are in the same city, there may be night battles.
At the dawn of the day, a sentry who was lazy and dozing off against the wall on the tower of Bright Moon City noticed the light, stretched his waist to yawn, rubbed his eyes, and moved his hands and feet.
The sentinel, who was obviously an old fritter, looked around for a moment, and approached another sentry and whispered, "You know what? Unexpectedly, most of the local tyrants and retainers did not arrive on time, hehe, if there is no reasonable explanation, their territory will be confiscated! Ah, I really want those guys to be pariahs. ”
The other sentry was obviously a newcomer, and he asked a little nervously, "Big brother, is there a big war?" Otherwise, the lord would not have issued a summoning order. ”
The old fritter sentry said disdainfully: "There is no big war, it is the untouchables at the civilian dock making trouble, the lord has sent 7,000 people to destroy them, and later he sent all the cavalry, 7,000 elite soldiers, 600 heavy cavalry against those untouchables, even if they have tens of thousands of people, what can they do?" ”
The new sentry thought for a moment and said, "Well, could it be that those untouchables have contacted untouchables in other places to make trouble together?" Otherwise, the lord would not have issued a summoning order, and those local tyrants would not have rushed to meet so far. ”
The old fritter sentry touched his chin: "Well, it's possible, otherwise where would those local tyrants dare to disobey the lord's orders, but why didn't anyone come to deliver the message?" And we sent so many heralds yesterday and none of them came back? There's no way they're going to stay and be entertained, it's dangerous. ”
It's no wonder that these little soldiers speculated wildly, the rebellion that the city lord of Mingyue thought was only circulating in the upper echelons, after all, such a humiliating matter, before it made a big fuss, the high-ranking officials didn't want the people below to know.
When the old fritter sentry said this, seeing Xinding's nervous face, he couldn't help patting him on the shoulder and laughing: "An, our Mingyue City is as stable as a mountain, and we can't encounter any danger in the city, so you can concentrate on being a sentry for me." As he spoke, the old fritters' face suddenly changed, and he put his hands on the pergola to look at it.
As soon as he saw a vague shadow on the horizon in the distance, Xinding immediately asked in a panic: "Is it an enemy?" ”
After seeing the flag fluttering in the distance, the old fritter patted Xinding's head and smiled: "What enemy, don't you see the flag?" It's the brother who was sent out yesterday. But when did they become so industrious? Hitting the road before dawn? As he spoke, he reported upwards.
His little sentry didn't have the authority to order the gates to be opened.
Although the city gate official who was woken up in advance by the old fritter was very unhappy, he still appeared at the city tower scolding, and when he looked closely, it was indeed a friendly army.
When he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, he suddenly remembered that the lord had specially explained to him that he should not open the door without permission, scratched his head, looked at the towering main building, and then looked at the faint sky, sighed and said to the old fritter sentry: "When they come, tell them that they need to report to the lord before they can open the door, and let them wait outside the city." With that, he ran away.
The old fritter sentry was immediately dumbfounded: "Isn't it?" Let yourself be a little soldier and hang these thousands of people underneath? Damn it! I know that you don't dare to disturb the lord's sleep for this! But what you said just now should have been said by you, the city gate official, how can I let this little soldier say it? Am I not afraid of being scolded and cursed by them? It's really an official who crushes people to death! ”
The old fritter muttered to this, and suddenly stared at Xinding with bright eyes, and after seeing Xinding uncomfortable, he patted Xinding's shoulder with a smile on his face and said, "Little brother, did you hear what the city gate official said just now?" Now my brother and I are sleepy, I want to make up for sleep, and those brothers will leave the door to you to deal with. ”
As he spoke, he immediately covered his ears and hid to the side.
The new sentry was also dumbfounded, he looked pitifully at the old fritter who was already snoring, and then saw that all the sentinels around him had become sleepy insects, so he had to reluctantly admit it.
It seems that not only the first level of the official university crushes people, but even the old soldiers can crush the new soldiers.
The helpless Xinding sentry had to watch the troops in the distance getting closer and closer boredly, and suddenly found that the teammate army was about to approach the city, paused, and then a few people ran back and forth, the team shook a little, and then put on a neat formation and began to approach.
Hearing the sound of brushing footsteps, Xinding couldn't understand why these brothers had to make a neat queue when they returned to the city.
At this time, the old fritters suddenly woke up and leaned on the side, looking at them and laughing: "Those fools think that the main guild sees them, and they don't want to think about what time it is, who will watch them pose early in the morning." Yo, it seems that the harvest is not small, and dozens of large board trucks have been installed.
"Well, what about the cavalry? Are you still sleeping? It should be possible that those cavalry were very proud and did not bother to deal with our infantry. ”
Xinding took a closer look when he heard this, and sure enough, there were dozens of carts at the back of the team that were quite high, covered with canvas and tied tightly with ropes.
Seeing that the team was getting closer and closer, the old fritter said, "Remember, I'll leave it to you." ”
He shrank back.
Xinding, who was shouting in front of so many people for the first time, nervously tidied up his clothes, which made the sentries who peeked at him nearby couldn't help but sneer.
Xinding's attention is now focused on the team, and he doesn't care about being ridiculed at all. Looking at the team outside the city, Xinding found that the board cart that was originally at the back began to overtake the team and slowly squeezed to the front, seeing this, Xinding thought that these guys were preparing to put the capture in front of them so that they could show off when they entered the city.
However, as the team advanced, Xinding felt more and more nervous, and at the same time felt that the team was a little strange, what was it? Yes, it was quiet, there was no sound at all from so many marching men except the sound of footsteps and the clashing of weapons, and the whole procession seemed to be enveloped in momentum.
