364, Yuncheng is broken, and the generals conspire
In the darkest hour before dawn, there was a biting cold in the morning breeze of early spring. But at this time, there was no chill on the soldiers outside Yuncheng. Looking at the dark town in the distance, his eyes were full of excitement.
Wei Jun Mo rode his horse and stood in front of the army, followed by Lin Changfeng, Chen Xuan and Xue Bin, in the end, he deserved to be a general, in the past few years, Chen Xuan has made a lot of progress.
Lin Changfeng pulled the reins and said with some concern: "Jun Mo, is Miss Mo okay?" It's good if you let me go for this kind of thing. "I heard that Nangong Mo sneaked into the city with someone first, and Changfeng Gongzi was so angry that he jumped to his feet. How could such a thing make the girl go?
Wei Junmo turned his head sideways, glanced at him lightly, and said, "If you can't be flawless, you can't do it even more." Wei Gongzi made no secret of his dislike for his friends and his subordinates' martial arts. Changfeng Gongzi was speechless for a moment, talking about martial arts... Compared to Miss Mo, he does seem to be a little worse. But it's not that bad, is it? But now that I'm disgusted... Changfeng Gongzi shrugged, it's nothing, right? Wei Junmo is not worried about his wife anymore, what is he worried about?
At this time, in Yuncheng, in the dark alleys, a group of black-clothed people quietly marched forward. Eventually, they gathered in a small alley outside one of the most garrisoned places in the city.
"County Lord."
Nangong Mo is also a rare black dress, and his figure looks even more slender and slender in the dim night. But none of the people in her company dared to have the slightest contempt for her, on the contrary, their eyes were full of admiration and trust. Nangong Mo raised his eyes and glanced at the place outside the alley, the wide street, and a large mansion that was not very grand and had no plaques. Even now, the outside of the mansion is surrounded by many soldiers on the inside and outside of the three floors.
Nangong Mo took out a simple drawing and looked at the faint light coming from outside. He said in a low voice: "At this time, the guards are the most lax, and someone has already probed before." Here, here, and here, these are the weak points of their defense. After the soldiers entered in three ways, they first took all the people in the courtyard and took the granary. Then immediately put a signal to the people outside to prepare for the siege. ”
The black-clothed man standing beside him nodded, looked at Nangong Mo and hesitated, and said, "County Lord, what about you?" ”
Nangong Mo hooked his lips and smiled, "Capture the thief and capture the king first." ”
"County Lord, this ......" Although these people are strong in martial arts, it is not easy to take the entire granary. Obviously, there are not many people who accompany the county lord to go with him, in case something happens......
Nangong Mo interrupted what he was about to say and said, "When you enter the city, I have the final say." ”
The man had no choice but to nod yes. Childe did instruct, and he obeyed the arrangement of the county lord.
Nangong Mo smiled with satisfaction, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." ”
"Take care, county lord."
Watching a group of black-clothed people disappear silently into the night, Nangong Mo turned to Liu Han who was following him and said, "Let's go too." ”
Liu Han looked left and right, sighed lightly and said, "The county lord is going on an adventure again, why don't you bring Xingwei with you?" "If something happens, Childe won't pick her skin? Nangong Mo smiled: "What's the matter?" Star Danger might as well stay outside the city to help. ”
Nangong Mo and Liu Han flexibly shuttled through a magnificent mansion in the city. Avoiding the guards, they quickly found their target. The largest courtyard in the backyard of the mansion was still silent, and the two of them squatted on the roof, and Liu Han asked Nangong Mo silently with his eyes. Nangong Mo pursed her lips and smiled, and nodded to signal that she could do it.
Liu Han was not polite, and directly uncovered the tiles one by one from the roof, and from the roof, he could see the room with the lights still lit inside.
"Who?!" The people in the room were not ordinary people after all, and they soon woke up. Liu Han raised his eyebrows, and smashed a piece of broken tile with a flick of his fingers. The man who had just gotten up from the bed immediately fell silent.
The middle-aged man on the bed looked at the two black-clothed women who came down from the roof in horror, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.
Nangong Mo smiled slightly, took out a silver needle and stabbed it at several acupoints on his body, and then said, "Now you can speak, but... Don't be too loud at the end. If you accidentally pull the silver needle to shift, Da Luo Immortal will not be able to save you. ”
The middle-aged man moved, and sure enough, he found a heart-piercing pain where the silver needle was still pierced. I had to grit my teeth and whispered, "The two... Who is it? There is no grievance with the two girls......"
"No grievances?" Nangong Mowaner smiled, "It is indeed no injustice and no hatred." ”
The middle-aged man was overjoyed, "Since that's the case......"
Nangong Mo sighed: "It's a pity... Your General Tang has surrounded our General Xue, you say, how should this matter be handled? ”
"You guys?! You are... The people of the Yan King?! The middle-aged man was shocked, he was sent by Tang Zeng to garrison Yuncheng to manage military grain and grass. I have no ambitions, and I'm glad that I don't have to go to the front line to be born and die. Who knows, the enemy's reinforcements actually played their cards according to reason and ran to Yuncheng.
Nangong Mo didn't deny it, but just smiled lightly: "So, the general now knows why we came?" ”
"You... What do you want? ”
Nangong Mo thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, general, as long as you cooperate, we will never hurt a single hair of you." ”
"You want me to surrender? That's impossible! "Although he has no ambitions, he has no intention of implicating the whole clan. Surrender to the enemy, but you will punish the nine clans.
Nangong Mo smiled: "How come? As long as the general cooperates well, you can still continue to be your general and lead your soldiers and horses. ”
The middle-aged man looked at her with some suspicion, "What do you want me to do?" ”
Nangong Mo stretched out his hand and spread it out, with a black pill in his palm, "As long as the general eats this pill, it's fine." ”
The middle-aged man looked at the pill in front of him in horror, as if it was something terrible. Nangong Mo smiled kindly and gently, "Of course, the general can also refuse." ”
Refuse... There is only one dead end. He didn't want to die.
"I... I eat. ”
A quarter of an hour later, loud footsteps rang out outside the door. Soon someone appeared at the door, "The general is not good, there are enemy troops attacking the city!" There's also an invasion on the other side of the granary! ”
The middle-aged man's face turned pale, he stood up and said in a deep voice: "General Ben knows, go and order the whole army to fight first!" General Ben will be here soon! ”
"Yes, General!"
The footsteps gradually faded away, and Nangong Mo, who was sitting on the side, stood up and said with a light smile: "In that case, General Liu, let's leave first." ”
The middle-aged man looked at the two women in front of him, slightly distracted, "You... Who the hell is it? ”
Nangong Mo smiled lightly: "The surname is Nangong in Xiafu." Leave. ”
The middle-aged man's heart was shocked.
The compound surname is Nangong, Nangong Mo.
Lord of Star City!
Coming out of General Liu's mansion, the sky was already faintly bright. The whole city was already in chaos, and not many people noticed the two women walking in the street. Liu Han, who had already changed into a night suit, walked beside Nangong Mo and asked in a low voice, "County Lord, what are we going to do now?" "The granary has already been obtained, and the two of them can't help it now. The army was attacking the city at the city gate, but it seemed that the two of them had nothing to do.
Nangong Mo thought for a while and said with a smile: "Find a place to watch the excitement." ”
The two really found a good place to watch the excitement. A teahouse not far from the south gate of the city, at this time, there are no guests or even the boss in the teahouse. The two of them found a window at random and pried it open and sat in, sitting on the third floor through the window just in time to see the situation of the city guarding the city on the city tower.
At the gate of the city, Lin Changfeng and Wei Junmo stood at the rear of the army, calmly watching the soldiers attacking the city, and did not interfere much.
Although these soldiers and horses have undergone rigorous training, they have also had a lot of energy to suppress bandits in the past two years. But it was the first time to go to the battlefield after all, which was also the reason why Wei Junmo chose the small place of Yuncheng. If they directly faced the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Tang Dynasty, these recruits who had no experience in large-scale operations were likely to be shocked by the momentum of the enemy army and be defeated before the battle. In any case, the first battle of the army can only be won and not defeated.
"The city gate of Yuncheng is not high, and it is not considered to be taken into account, two hours should be more than enough." Lin Changfeng said with a smile.
Wei Junmo nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Inform Xue Bin and Chen Xuan and let them take turns to attack the city." ”
Lin Changfeng raised his eyebrows in some surprise, "Are you planning to use these soldiers and horses stationed in Yuncheng to train troops?" ”
Wei Junmo was indifferent, Lin Changfeng nodded, turned around and ordered.
In the midst of the fighting, the sun gradually rose from the sky. The soldiers defending the city also became more and more weak, and finally, with a loud bang, the already sturdy city gate collapsed, and a large number of soldiers and horses rushed in like a tide.
Lin Changfeng's eyes lit up, and he rushed in with great interest.
In the teahouse in the city, Nangong Mo, who also saw this scene, sighed lightly, stood up and said, "It's done, let's go." Go and inform Jun Mo, don't let him kill people. ”
Liu Han couldn't help but smile on his face, "I didn't expect it to be so smooth." Nangong Mo said: "It's just a small city, if you can't even attack this, it will be even more troublesome in the future." ”
"Flawless." The two walked out of the teahouse, and just in time to see Wei Gongzi standing on the side of the street outside the teahouse looking at them. At this time, although there was still fighting on the castle tower, the streets were empty and there was not half a figure. Nangong Mo hurriedly told Wei Junmo about the matter, Wei Gongzi raised his sword eyebrows, and would casually order the guards around him to inform Lin Changfeng.
Nangong Mo said: "The granary has also been taken down, but we are only afraid that we will have to evacuate as much as possible." Tang Zeng's soldiers and horses should not be long before they arrive. ”
Wei Junmo nodded and said, "You and Lin Changfeng will go to Shangshui with soldiers and horses first, and I will leave 50,000 people behind." ”
Nangong Mo frowned, "How can 50,000 people be enough?" ”
Wei Junmo raised his hand to brush away the hair that was blown to her cheeks by the breeze, and said softly: "Tang Zeng can send up to 100,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce, and you will go first with grain and grass." I'll hold it for two days at most and then retreat. ”
The other party can't hold the place for two hours, and Wei Gongzi plans to guard it for two days? Who gave him courage?
Looking at Wei Junmo's calm appearance as if he took it for granted, Nangong Mo sighed helplessly. Well, Wei Gongzi himself is very courageous and does not need to be given by others.
"Be careful."
Wei Junmo nodded, "Don't worry." ”
Nangong Mo whispered, grabbed his shirt and pulled him towards him, and said in a low voice: "Wei Junmo, if you die, don't expect me to be a widow for you!" ”
Wei Gongzi raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to clasp the back of her head, lowered his head and steadied her red lips fiercely, "I won't die, even if I die, I will haunt you." Nangong Mo was a little out of breath when he was kissed, and pushed him angrily, looking at someone's calm appearance and secretly gritting his teeth. No matter how good the martial arts are, the specific lung capacity is obviously still not comparable to someone.
When he received the news of the sneak attack on Yuncheng, Tang Zeng was commanding a large army to attack Yingchuan. Seeing that Yingchuan City was about to be broken, the officers and men of the whole army were very excited and inspired, and their morale was flourishing. Sitting on horseback and looking at the battlefield in front of him, Tang Zeng nodded with satisfaction. What about those who rely on nepotism? As long as he captures Yingchuan and destroys Xue Zhen, he Tang Zeng will be able to become famous all over the world and build immortal feats.
"General Qiyu, it's not good!"
Tang Zeng's heart sank, and the faces of the surrounding generals also changed.
"What's wrong?"
The soldier announced: "Just now, the news came that Wei Gongzi led an army of more than 200,000 to attack Yuncheng!" Right now... Yuncheng is only afraid that it has been broken. ”
Yuncheng is not far from Yingchuan, less than a hundred miles away, because of the distance and terrain, there is not even a beacon tower. From Yingchuan, Yuncheng Road, it takes more than two hours to speed up the whip, plus some delays, I am afraid that nearly three hours have passed at this time.
"Wei Junmo!" Tang Zeng gritted his teeth, more than 200,000 troops sneak attacked Yuncheng, which only had 20,000 garrisons, Wei Junmo was really embarrassed!
"General, what should I do?" The generals next to him were also anxious, Yuncheng was not a major town, and it was not difficult to take it back. But... Yuncheng has a month's worth of grain and grass for the army!
Tang Zeng glanced at the battlefield in front of him, even if he was secretly hating in his heart, he couldn't help it, gritted his teeth and said, "Collect the troops!" Immediately send troops to help Yuncheng, and be sure to take Yuncheng back for me! ”
"Yes, General."
Mingjin, collect troops.
On the upper floor of Yingchuan City, the soldiers who had been fighting hard for a long time looked at the enemy army who suddenly retreated, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a while. But in any case, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief for a while.
Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei were also covered in dust and blood, and walked quickly to Xue Zhen, "General Xue, what's going on?" ”
Xue Zhen shook his head, he didn't know what was going on.
"Suddenly withdrawing from the army, maybe something happened?"
Xiao Qianchi said: "Could it be that cousin and they are here?" ”
A young general next to him was a little unconvinced, "It's been three days and I haven't seen the figure of Wei Gongzi and the reinforcements, general, is Wei Gongzi really back?" ”
Xue Zhen's face was slightly subdued, and he raised his hand and said: "Now is not the time to say this, if you dare to shake the morale of the army, don't blame General Ben for military law!" Then he looked at Xiao Qianchi, touched his chin and thought for a long time: "The guess of the prince... There is some truth to that. ”
Xiao Qianwei was also calm, and asked respectfully, "Please also ask General Xue for advice." ”
Xue Zhen gestured with the long sword in his hand on the ground, and said: "There are hundreds of thousands of troops near Yingchuan, even if Wei Gongzi brings troops here, it will not be easy to kill them. After all, the soldiers and horses in his hands are only afraid that they are not as good as Tang Zeng's elite soldiers in the imperial court. However, Tang Zeng pulled all the soldiers and horses to Yingchuan, and the area around Yuncheng Shangshui must be empty. Yuncheng is the storage place of grain and grass for the imperial army, and if Yuncheng is captured, Tang Zeng will not be able to sit still no matter what. ”
The generals who were standing next to Xue Zhen's analysis nodded one after another, but some people were worried, "Yuncheng is easy to attack and difficult to defend, once Tang Zeng sends troops to reinforce, Wei Gongzi is afraid that he will not be able to contain Yuncheng." ”
Xue Zhen shook his head with a smile and said: "Why does Wei Gongzi need to defend Yuncheng, as long as he takes away the grain and grass of Yuncheng, even if it is burned by fire, this battle will be regarded as a small victory for him." At that time, they only need to move to Shangshui, and once they pass Shangshui, Tang Zeng will not be able to catch up with them. I'm afraid that Tang Zeng doesn't have so many troops to chase them. Since then, it has relieved us of a lot of pressure. ”
"But... General Xue, how long can we hold out? Xiao Qianwei asked.
Xue Zhen was silent, there were still a lot of soldiers and horses in the city, but there was not much grain and grass. No matter how hard they hold on, they won't be able to hold out for long.
"General Qiyu, Tang Zeng sent a pair of soldiers and horses towards Yuncheng. It looks like there should be about 100,000 people. The soldier in charge of observing the enemy army hurried to give a notice. Everyone was silent for a while, obviously Xue Zhen's previous analysis was correct. Xue Zhen nodded and motioned for the soldiers to go down. glanced at the soldiers present, and said indifferently: "No matter what, Wei Gongzi has relieved us a lot of pressure. If it weren't for Tang Zeng's sudden withdrawal of troops, I am afraid that Yingchuan City would be broken today. Now that the reinforcements have arrived, please work hard to persevere, don't let the prince down, and don't let the reinforcements underestimate. ”
"Yes, General." Everyone said in unison.
At this time, in a camp dozens of miles southwest of Yingchuan, Nangong Xu also received news. After reading the letter he had just received, Nangong Xu got up and calmly ordered: "Pass the order, the whole army will attack Xiangcheng." ”
"Yes, Nangong Gongzi."
A young general took the order and left.
Nangong Xu thought about it and raised his hand to beckon the ** next to him.
"Nangong Gongzi?"
Nangong Xu said: "You are familiar with General Xue, you take people and horses to Yingchuan, and tell General Xue to prepare for a breakthrough." ”
"Breakout?" **Stunned, "But... What to do with Yingchuan? ”
Nangong Xu frowned and said: "Yingchuan, he can't hold it, withdraw first." We'll pick him up outside. ”
**Glancing at the map spread out on the table, "Where are you going?" ”
Nangong Xu's expression was calm, he raised his hand and pressed it somewhere on the map, and said in a deep voice: "Xia Ting!" He has a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands, so he will withdraw first and wait for Mo'er and their army, and then surround Tang Zeng when the time comes. ”
