Chapter 684: Empty City Strategy
The lively atmosphere spreads out through the city wall, and the lights of Huamo City are like the New Year.
The soldiers in the camp not far away put down the chicken legs in their hands, and their mouths were bitter and tasteless.
In just 15 days, Da Liang captured their two cities in a row, but they only won a battle, what is there to be happy about?
The soldiers lowered their heads one after another, unable to drink a sip of wine, unable to eat a mouthful of food, and their chests were full of gas, stuffed without leaking.
Xie Zhan sat leisurely on the city wall with Xin Muyuan in his arms, the corners of his lips slightly hooked, listening to the reaction of the camp not far away, until their laughter and celebration stopped, he couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and whispered in Xin Muyuan's ear: "It seems that some of you are busy tonight." ”
The soldiers of Yuzhi are brave and good at fighting, brave and unscrupulous. Today's Xie Zhan's behavior is undoubtedly red for them. The naked provocation will inevitably be unbearable with their unyielding nature, Xie Zhan concluded that they are going to have a sneak attack tonight.
Therefore, taking advantage of the excitement as a cover-up, he ordered Zuo Qingyun and Xin Muyuan to make a trap at the door, and ordered Luo Qing and Lin You to organize their own people to secretly withdraw with the smallest movement in the night.
When everything was ready, Le Ling was allowed to return, and the lively Flower Desert City fell into tranquility in a short period of time.
It looked like everyone was tired, and the whole city was asleep.
During the night shift, the sky was dark, and I couldn't see my fingers. The stars in the sky were covered by dense clouds, and even the moonlight looked dull.
Sure enough, there was movement in the camp of the Yuzhi army, and the general next to the eldest prince took the lead and sneaked into Huamo City with a small team.
Quiet.
Late at night, Hua Mocheng seemed to be asleep, only breathing softly.
Don't say it's a patrolling soldier, even the sentry post is empty.
The vanguard began to be frightened, and cautiously patrolled the surroundings, guessing that the Great Liang army might be hiding somewhere waiting for a sneak attack.
But even if they turned Huamo City upside down, they didn't find anyone.
"What's going on?" The vanguard was completely stunned, and under the fear, he couldn't care about anything else, so he led someone to break into one of the houses, grabbed a sleeping citizen with his hand, stared at his eyes red from panic, and asked angrily, "Where is the Great Liang Army?" ”
The people were forcibly awakened, their eyes bloodshot, and they were so intimidated by the vanguard that their heads went blank, until the person who grabbed him pulled out the sword at his waist, and the thick fear pulled his thoughts back, and he said in a panic: "They, they left Huamo City overnight!" ”
"What did you say!" The general pulled the collars of his people tighter.
The people were scared. His legs trembled, and there was a peculiar smell between his legs, and he said tremblingly: "They lost the battle and retreated overnight." ”
"How can such a thing happen?" The corners of the general's mouth hooked up proudly and happily, and he let out a low laugh, and said proudly, "Go, inform the eldest prince that those thieves are afraid of the firepower of my Yuzhi Kingdom and have fled overnight." ”
When the words reached the camp, the eldest prince laughed happily, raised the wine glass he had put down again, and wanted to solemnly toast the sixth prince, but the sixth prince did not answer.
He touched his chin thoughtfully, looked at the eldest prince after a while, directly ignored the wine he was holding, and said solemnly: "I can't listen to these words!" There must be a deception, I hope the prince will think twice! ”
He knows these people too well, a group of hot-blooded young people who don't want to die, let them be deserters, it's no different from torturing them!
If the person leading the troops this time is General Chu, he believes that he will temporarily retreat, but the person who leads the troops is Xie Zhan, and there is no word retreat in the minds of these two tiger heads!
This is only a defeat, how can it be said to retreat?
The smile on the eldest prince's face faded, and he drank all the wine in the wine glass, and said, "Is the sixth prince a little worried?" Xie Zhan and the others are just a group of hairy boys in the final analysis, compared to the Protector of the Kingdom, their experience is too little, and it is normal to be cautious and cautious. Now that they have lost the battle, and the Yuzhi Kingdom is menacing again, it is normal for them to retreat for the sake of stability. ”
The sixth prince was silent.
He still felt that something was wrong.
If Luo Qing and Lin You temporarily retreated for the sake of safety, he believed that even if Zuo Qingyun was afraid of the scene, he had no doubt, but Xie Zhan had fought on the battlefield with the Protector since he was a child, what scene had he not seen?
That's a mountain tiger hiding in the city, and he will be afraid? Will he panic? The eldest prince didn't believe it.
It is even more unbelievable to say that Xie Zhan is timid in doing things than to say that Xie Zhan's poetry does not understand!
The smile on the eldest prince's face was no longer visible.
He looked at Huamo City and found that the flag belonging to the Yuzhi Kingdom had been raised, and the flag left behind by the Great Liang Dynasty was torn to pieces.
As far as the eldest prince knows, Da Liang is a dynasty with the most rules, and they have to care about everything in a mess, the flag is their other life for them, and they don't want the flag to be tarnished.
It's a slap in the face!
But now, their banners have been torn down. It's like this, and no one has stepped forward to stop them, which shows that they really left, otherwise they wouldn't let the flag look like this and forbear.
"Sixth Prince, you are a member of the Great Liang Dynasty, and I think you know the most about the soldier temperament of the Great Liang Dynasty. They are the kindest people, even robbers can save their lives, let alone the innocent people of Huamo City? If they take Huamo City as a plan, then the people of Huamo City are destined to be sacrificed, do you think, can the soldiers of the Daliang Dynasty do it? ”
Can't do it......
The sixth prince came up with an answer in an instant, and his head drooped.
But at the same time, a red lip flashed in his mind, and the corners of his lips were slightly upturned, like a demon sitting on the Meng Po Bridge.
Yes, the soldiers of Da Liang can't do such cruel things, but she can.
In her eyes, there is no human life, only victory or defeat.
Kindness, which never appeared in her body......
The eldest prince felt troubled when he saw the appearance of the sixth prince, stood up and said, "Then you think slowly here, my soldiers are calling me, and I have to go and celebrate the lost Huamo City with them." ”
The sixth prince still lowered his head and did not answer, and his soldiers sat still because of this.
The eldest prince's eyes froze a little, but he didn't say anything more, and left with his own people, leaving a remnant of the ground.
The six princes looked at their backs, and the position of their hearts was beating suddenly.
For some reason, he had a sense of foreboding, and he always felt that this was the last time they would see each other.
"Let's go!" The sixth prince immediately got up and left in the opposite direction to the eldest prince.
Walk faster and faster, go faster and faster, and finally run almost like crazy.
"Boom-"
After a cup of tea, a deafening sound exploded from behind him, and the flames struck Huamo City.
