Chapter 112: Outwitting the Yellow Ruins City
Although the moon was covered, there was still a faint moonlight sprinkled down, Wu Feng and the others were very fast, and it didn't take long for them to reach three hundred meters away from the central camp of the Qin army, and the Qin army patrol found them.
"Enemy attack. A loud roar rang out in the darkness of the night.
Seeing this, Wu Feng said loudly: "Kill." ”
With the defenders of the city, holding shields, they accelerated their speed and rushed towards the camp, and when they were two hundred meters away from the Qin army's camp, they saw a scene that made him Mu Leng, and the Qin army patrol did not step forward to stop them, but fled to both sides with a fast speed.
Wu Feng thought to himself: "Could it be that the Qin army knows that it is invincible and does not dare to face the battle." ”
Immediately, an inexplicable chill rose from the bottom of his heart, and when he looked at the Qin army camp again, it seemed that there were countless vicious and bloodthirsty birds of prey hidden in it, Wu Feng suddenly woke up and was tricked.
hurriedly shouted: "I've been tricked, withdraw quickly." ”
However, it was too late, hundreds of crossbow arrows tore through the tent and shot towards them, looking at the crossbow arrows shot by the bed, Wu Feng's heart was broken, especially the iron arrows of the crossbow arrows under the moonlight, cold and sharp, making people's backs chill.
"Quick, shield. Wu Feng's face was as pale as earth, and his shouting voice trembled a little.
Many of the city guards were paralyzed on the ground, trembling as if they were on the edge of an abyss, their double holes enlarged, and their bones trembling with fear.
The veterans who had seen blood hurriedly cooperated with each other to put their shields on the ground and set up a shield wall, and the people behind who did not know the situation were still rushing forward, and the shields that had finally been erected were squeezed down and fell by their own people, and the crossbow arrows also arrived in front of them.
When Wu Feng saw it, he quickly lay down, and he only heard the "whoosh" sound in his ears, and his scalp was numb when he heard it.
He had heard of the Qin army's bed crossbow, which was one meter and five long, powerful and powerful, and could easily shoot through even armor and shields, and he had encountered it now, but how much he hoped it was just a dream.
The county lieutenant of Huangxucheng only felt a pain in his abdomen, covered it with his hand, felt that his palm was a little empty, looked down, there was a big hole in his abdomen, his face was full of disbelief, and he slowly fell to the ground, with only one thought in his heart, is this the terrible thing about the Qin army's bed crossbow?
"Ah......h
"Run......
"Help......
"My hand is missing......"
"Oh my God, what is this......"
The defenders and the people behind reacted, and many people saw that the people around them were shot out of one blood hole after another, and they were so frightened that their souls scattered, and they dared to stay here, turned around and ran, and at this time they really hated that their parents didn't give them two more legs.
But at this moment, in the woods behind the people, two thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry suddenly rushed out.
The infantry of the Qin army held a shield in their left hand and a gee in their right hand, and the ranks were neat, killing the oncoming people step by step.
There were 1,000 cavalry on each side of the infantry armor, and the cavalry speed accelerated, forming a three-sided encirclement, and at the central tent of the Qin army, Meng Tian was wearing armor, with a cold face, riding a war horse, and the Qin army with black pressure pressed up from behind, forming an encirclement with the north, east and west.
Wu Feng had already gotten up, and there were five hundred city guards gathered around him, looking at Meng Tian who was riding a horse in the moonlight, his heart was mixed, he still underestimated the black-armored young man after all.
He had just experienced death and did not want to experience it again, so he shouted loudly without spine: "I will surrender, please do not slaughter innocent people." ”
Meng Tian was a little surprised, he thought that the defenders and generals who could hold Huangxu City should not be people who were afraid of life and death, he was ready to fight a tough battle, he didn't expect the other party to be so spineless.
In fact, Wu Feng can't be blamed, since he dared to attack the camp, he naturally also had the heart of death, mainly because of the ruthless shooting of five or six hundred crossbow arrows just now, and he experienced death, so he was even more afraid of death. Who can't live without dying.
The penetration of the bed crossbow was too strong, and the range was too long, and five or six hundred crossbow arrows caused nearly 3,000 deaths and 2,000 injuries, which was terrifying.
Meng Tian made two preparations this time, the army that ambushed Wu Feng was only 8,000 people, and another 2,000 people were arranged by Meng Tian to capture the city.
On the mountain trail road to Huangxu City, there were nearly 2,000 people wearing coarse linen clothes, pushing a small cart in groups of three, and more than 600 small carts were quickly pushed towards the south gate of Huangxu City.
When they arrived at the dense woods, Zhou Yong, the leader of the convoy, suddenly saw a figure rushing out of the dense forest on the right, and he almost drew the long sword hidden on the cart.
When someone jumped out of the woods, they whispered, "Old Qin, go to the national disaster together." With these words, Zhou Yong's hand holding the hilt of the sword was released and retracted, and he also asked in a low voice, "But Mr. Mo?"
Mo Xu replied: "It's Mo Xu, I don't know which general it is?"
Zhou Yong stepped forward and said, "Zhou Yong, a thousand people, have seen Mr. Mo." ”
Mo Xu said: "Without further ado, you and I should take the Yellow Ruins City first, so as to avoid long nights and dreams." ”
Zhou Yong said: "What Mr. said is extremely true, this operation has to rely on Mr. to help. ”
Mo Xu said: "Hurry up, it's almost dawn." ”
When Zhou Yong led 2,000 people to the southern city gate, the city gate was closed, and the defenders on the city tower saw so many carts thinking that the people who were carrying grain came back first, and when they arrived at the city gate, they shouted: "Who is coming?"
Mo Xu stepped out of the ranks, took a few steps forward, raised his head and replied: "I am Mo Xu of Huangxu City County, on the order of General Wu Feng, I will escort the grain back first, and you will open the city gate as soon as possible, and the county will go back to continue to transport grain. ”
"Wait a minute, the little one will open the door. The voice from above came down.
Zhou Yong and Mo Xu were relieved when they heard this, and things were going well.
But at this moment, a thunderous voice suddenly sounded on the city wall, saying, "Wait." ”
Mo Xu and Zhou Yong's hearts tightened, and they looked up at the city tower, only to see a burly man walking out and looking down, because the sky was hazy, they couldn't see it very clearly.
Said: "Mo Juncheng, you said that you were the general who asked you to transport grain back, but there is a general's military order?"
Mo Xu sweated on his forehead, but said coldly: "Tiger idiot, what do you mean? The general leads the army to kill the enemy, do you still have to bring paperwork and pen and ink, do you want this county to go back to the general to ask for military orders, so that you can order the city gate to be opened?"
The tiger idiot is tall and big, but he is a bald head, listening to Mo Xu's words, he touched his bald head, and said, "Oh, then, open the city gate." ”
Hearing this, Mo Xu's heart was slightly relieved, but he was still nervous, and he was really afraid that something would happen.
Fortunately, things went well, the first city gate opened, Mo Xu entered with the people in front, and Zhou Yong followed behind him. When he arrived at the second gate of the city wall, Zhou Yong protected Mo Xu behind him and ordered loudly: "Action." ”
Suddenly, the soldiers pulled out the long swords hidden under the pockets of the carts, 300 people guarded the city gate, 500 people stopped at the inner city gate, preventing the enemy from snatching the city gate from the inside, Zhou Yong led 1,000 people to kill along the road to the city and seize control of the city wall.
Wu Feng left behind to defend the city are big cats and small cats, three or two, without the strength to fight, many people saw the Qin army who took out their weapons, and ran away, for them it is important to defend the city there and have a small life.
At noon, Meng Tian dealt with the matter of the prisoners and brought several thousand people to the City Lord's Mansion, ready to discuss what to do next.
Seven thousand-strong generals and three captains had just arrived at the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, and before they could start their deliberations, a soldier hurriedly came in and reported: "General Qiqi, we are waiting to capture the messenger sent by Le Yi, and we have received the news that General Huan Qi is trapped!"
"What?"
Meng Tian and all the generals in the hall stood up, all shocked. The joy of just taking the Yellow Ruins City disappeared without a trace.
