Chapter 180: Entering the City on a Bloody Night
When the sky darkened slightly, Chu Feiyan summoned the Fire Feather Horse that had been staying outside the city, and everyone was amazed to see such a divine horse.
At the same time, he was even more convinced that if Chu Feiyan hadn't come for the people of Jinghua City, he could really leave at any time, and he couldn't help but admire a little more.
Chu Feiyan stuffed a letter under the saddle, patted the horse's head, and whispered something, and the fire feather horse seemed to understand, and ran to the southeast like lightning.
Wu Fang asked curiously, "What is written in the letter?"
Chu Feiyan's letter was handed over to Wang Ye, asking him to send troops to the borders of Hezhou, Cangwu, and Nanshan County, but don't act rashly.
Due to the inconvenience of revealing too much of the situation of the reckless wasteland, Chu Feiyan just said to Wu Fang seriously: "In order to drag Jing Beifeng."
Wu Fang couldn't guess for a while that there was anyone or force who was willing to take such a risk, and he was even more amazed by Chu Feiyan's energy in his heart, and asked, "What should we do next?"
When Wu Fang listened to Chu Feiyan's complete plan, he couldn't help but gasp, and his heart was shocked, could they really do it?
Although they shouted to retake the South Gate, it was actually more because of the anger and despair in their hearts. Surrounded by enemies on all sides, they didn't expect to survive at all, they just wanted to die a heroic death, but they didn't expect Chu Feiyan's plan to annihilate the opponent's 10,000 defenders.
Although his plan is dangerous, it is extremely feasible, and once it succeeds, it will definitely leave a strong mark in the history books, and Wu Fang's eyes showed unprecedented excitement.
"Let's fight!"
When the waning moon rose into the night sky, the faint moonlight sprinkled on the blood-colored earth, and the group sneaked into the vicinity of the moat.
They quietly took off the uniforms of the dead Red Flame soldiers, changed them into themselves, and covered their faces with blood. Due to the end of the war, the guards at the south gate were very loose, and they didn't think that someone was making trouble under their noses, so they didn't notice anything abnormal.
Others returned to the char forest to cut down a large number of dead trees until dawn. Wu Fang took the rest of the people to ambush on the way out of the city.
In the early morning of June 23, the sky was slightly bright, and it still looked gray. Chu Feiyan turned to look at the young men behind him who were wearing two different soldier attire, Stygian Water and Chiyan, although his voice was not high, it contained infinite power.
"Are you ready?"
The boys stared at their bright, sincere eyes and nodded heavily.
Gao Chuan sat on the castle tower and drank stuffy wine, and he was already a little drunk at that time. There was a sudden "pop" sound, and the wine glass fell heavily to the ground.
"This general who is far away from Ji Xiu has to stay here like a fool, facing these stinky corpses all day long, what is the matter. To put it nicely, the South Gate is very important, since it is so important, why don't you let his people stay, is this not a clear attempt to grab credit!"
The soldier on the side whispered and laughed: "Let's think about the benefits, at least there won't be deaths, there will be opportunities later."
Gao Chuan sighed: "I can only think like this." After complaining, he took a big sip of cooing: "It's really boring, is that woman dead, if she doesn't die, you will peel off his skin for me, General Ben is very bored!"
At this moment, an alarm sounded on the castle tower, and then a soldier ran over in a panic and reported: "There is a small group of soldiers shouting outside the south gate, as if they have come from the base camp."
Gao Chuan was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Since it's your own person, why are you panicking!"
"They said that the base camp was breached by Xie Yun's raid, and the marshal was nowhere to be found, and they were scattered and fled."
"What!" Gao Chuan stood up suddenly, then thought for a moment and said, "It's unlikely, take me to see."
Gao Chuan ran to the city tower and looked down from above, sure enough, there were three or four hundred people, and the miserable appearance didn't need to ask to know that he had just suffered a defeat.
"Quick, let's go in, we want to see General Yao!"
Gao Chuan frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Qiu cried and shouted: "Xie Yun's army has already chased us three miles away, it's too late to say more, open the door quickly!"
Gao Chuan was really surprised this time, and when he was in doubt, suddenly a soldier pointed to the distance: "General, look there!"
Although the sky was not yet bright, Gao Chuan still vaguely saw a big banner with the word "Xie", behind which the smoke and dust were billowing out, covering the sky and the sun, and the posture looked like at least 100,000 people.
"Oh my God!" Gao Chuanjiu woke up for the most part: "Hurry up and let them in and ask what's going on."
A soldier reminded in a low voice: "General Gao, General Ji told me that no one is allowed to open the city gate until they return."
When he mentioned Ji Xiuyuan, Gao Chuan was angry and slapped him hard: "When is it, what about General Ji!"
After Li Qiu saw Gao Chuan, he immediately talked about the tragic situation of the base camp being captured, he saw many famous sections of the capital when he was a child, and it was really thrilling to talk about it at the moment, and his voice was full of emotion. During this period, he secretly wiped his snot on Gao Chuan's body several times, but he was not noticed.
"In short, the marshal and Na Xie Yun fought for hundreds of rounds, and finally they were defeated by the enemy. Fortunately, at this critical juncture, I, Li Wanshan, are not afraid of death and move forward bravely..."
"Okay, okay!" Gao Chuan finally saw the problem of this kid's bragging, so he stopped and asked, "Why did Xie Yun suddenly appear here?"
"Hey, it's not that Jing Wuming is incompetent, the other party made a plan to get rid of the golden cicada and was kept in the dark, I'm afraid he didn't know that Xie Yun had hit here until now!"
Gao Chuan roughly understood the situation, and paced back and forth anxiously for a few steps: "Before you were dispersed, how did the marshal explain?"
"Of course, we were sent to move the rescue soldiers, and I can't expect that kid to be killed. By the way, how many people do you have, general, I think you are so powerful, why don't you quickly count the manpower and go out of the city with us to save the marshal."
Gao Chuan's face immediately darkened, and he said in his heart that even the marshal was defeated, so I won't send him to death. So he smiled and said, "I'm afraid my manpower is far from enough, I'd better let people ask General Yao for reinforcements."
Li Qiu deliberately showed an anxious and embarrassed look: "It's okay, then ask the general to send someone as soon as possible." Those of us are so badly injured that we need to find a place to rest first. ”
"Lord Marshal said that there are forty or fifty thousand people, and he should be able to barely force Xie Yun back. After all, he only brought 70,000 or 80,000 people with him this time, and it is estimated that he has lost at least half of it after the war."
Gao Chuan was a little more convinced when he heard this, nodded solemnly, and immediately sent a team of men and horses in the direction of the palace.
Before that, taking advantage of the chaos when entering the city, and wearing the uniforms of Chiyan soldiers, no one cared too much. Chu Feiyan and more than a hundred others had already set off on the road to the palace first.
In the end, they stopped in a relatively narrow alleyway, and behind Chu Feiyan stood Peng Liao and Liu Hu. They looked at each other and saw the firmness in each other's eyes, and then came the most critical and dangerous part of the plan: to intercept all the soldiers who came to deliver the message, leaving no one alive.
But what Chu Feiyan didn't know at this time was that there was already a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark.
