Chapter 496: Outwitting the Lockdown
The person who came was Xu Hu.
After settling down, he tugged on the reins slightly in his left hand, held a long knife in his right hand, and looked at Tang Yue coldly.
"If you want to hurt my king, pass me first."
"Ah-" Tang Yue was furious when he saw the person coming, but in the same way, he also understood that with the Tiger Marquis of Qin State, it would be difficult to hurt the King of Qin again!
"Humph!" Xu Hu sneered, and under Xiao Yuan's signal, he turned the horse's head unhurriedly, and because of the defeat, he did not fight here.
Seeing King Qin running away, Tang Yue was so angry that he took a few steps forward and pulled out the silver spear nailed into the trunk of the tree, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "Hateful!" β
It wasn't until he stared at the front for a while that he reluctantly rode his horse back to the lockdown.
Let's say Xiao Yuan, after the defeat of the army, he gathered the remnants of the army, and there was no loss at all, because this battle was not fought at all in the actual sense.
At this time, there was still an embarrassed look on his face that he had fled in a hurry.
Xu Hu was a little scared and said: "King, this strategy is too risky, how critical the situation is just now, then Tang Yue is a madman with a white face." β
"Huh." Xiao Yuan smiled faintly and said, "If not, Tang Yue would not be fooled." β
As he spoke, he immediately ordered: "Immediately reorganize the army and prepare to take the closure of the city!" β
On the other side, after Tang Yue came back, there was no delay, and Xu Rong was immediately invited into the closed city.
Because of this battle, in his opinion, not only defeated the Qin army, but also almost killed the King of Qin!
For him, what reason is there to doubt Xu Rong.
This is exactly the effect of Xiao Yuan's personal risk.
You must know that under the feudal dynasty, the safety of the king is so important, even the king of Qin almost died, how could Xu Rong still surrender by fraud.
This plan is very risky.
Because it is possible for Xu Rong to fake the show.
But Xiao Yuan gambled!
When it comes to military matters, sometimes it is necessary to be adventurous.
Fight at a glance, why not say a strange soldier.
And if you want to surrender, you have to Xu Rong, because this is what Liang Jun can believe the most.
In the closed city, when he saw Tang Yue, Xu Rong also knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said in a shocking voice: "The last general, Xu Rong, have seen the general!" From now on, we will take the general's head as the horse! β
"Good! Good! Tang Yue said hello twice, then pulled Xu Rong and returned to the meeting hall in the city.
After a short time, the generals of various ministries gathered one after another.
There was some excitement on people's faces, because it was rare to see a big defeat of the Qin army.
Someone said: "In this battle, the Qin army was defeated in a hurry, not to mention how embarrassed it was, we not only captured a large number of weapons and horses, but this big victory is a great boost to the morale of our army!" β
"Good!" Tang Yue nodded, then looked at Xu Rong and said, "This time, without General Xu Rong's help, our army would not have won so easily. β
Hearing what he said, all the generals looked over.
Xu Rong hurriedly said: "Where is it, the general's words are serious, the last general has long been unable to stay in the Qin army, then the king of Qin, not only killed my brother, but also demoted me to a pawn, he looks down on me at all, if it continues like this, it won't be long before I will be killed, so it is better to take refuge in the general and seek a future." β
"En......" Tang Yue nodded slowly, and then said: "Don't worry, I will truthfully report to the king and show your merits, and in the future, in my Liang army, I will be my own brother!" β
"General Xie!" Xu Rong clenched his fists.
Everyone nodded, and even the civil officials who Xue Wu arranged to come over to assist Tang Yue did not suspect Xu Rong at all at this time.
Because it doesn't seem to be in line with deception at all.
After a simple discussion, the generals retired, and Tang Yue was still relatively polite to Xu Rong: "Let's go, let's drink!" β
"Okay, the last general is bold, and he is willing to get drunk with the general." Xu Rong also doesn't ink.
Tang Yue accepted the Montenegrin army and defeated the King of Qin, looking high-spirited.
And so the day passed.
The next day, where Xu Rong stayed.
A Montenegrin sergeant was whispering something.
After hearing this, Xu Rong asked in a low voice, "How many brothers are there in us?" β
"Less than five thousand." The soldier returned.
"Yes." Xu Rong nodded, his eyes showing a gloomy light: "The time agreed with the king is almost up......"
Hearing this, the soldier couldn't help but interject: "General......"
As he spoke, he also glanced at Xu Rong cautiously, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Xu Rong understood what he wanted to say, in fact, in his heart, after entering the lockdown, of course he had other thoughts, because he was also a human being.
He has only been taking refuge in Xiao Yuan for a long time, and his loyalty is not very strong.
But soon, he remembered what Jia You said to him: If the general wants to achieve great things, he must find a hero.
Thinking of this, he also looked at the soldiers: "Since the king believes in me, I dare not disappoint the king, don't talk nonsense, go and prepare!" β
"Yes!" The soldiers retreated.
Late that night, at the city gates.
The Liang army is heavily defended, and the city defense can be described as three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and there are halberd soldiers everywhere.
Xu Rong came here with a group of soldiers.
The general in charge of the city's defense saw him, and out of duty, raised one arm and said, "The general stops." β
"General Liu is polite." Xu Rong has a good memory, and when he saw this general, he couldn't help but hug his fists, and said with a smile: "Ordered by General Tang, lead people to change guards." β
"Changing guards at this time?" The general surnamed Liu frowned.
"Yes." Xu Rong's demeanor was natural, although Tang Yue had already taken in his subordinates, but the city defense was here, and it was impossible to hand it over to him for the time being.
Therefore, the general was somewhat skeptical, stared at Xu Rong and said, "But General Ben has not received the order to change guards." β
"Is General Liu mistaken?" Xu Rong said again.
"No......" The general surnamed Liu frowned and thought carefully.
Xu Rong quietly exchanged glances with the person next to him, and then the fierce light in his eyes flashed.
Just when the general surnamed Liu had just confirmed that there was no order to change the guard, before he could speak, the sound of the war knife coming out of the sheath suddenly sounded, and a cold light had been slashed obliquely!
This sudden change, where did the general react, and he was cut right with a sharp and fast knife.
Blood sprayed, he staggered back, covered his neck with his hand, and wanted to shout, but the neck wound, the cold wind poured directly, where could he say a word!
At the same time, a group of Montenegrin soldiers who had already prepared for a long time launched their actions in unison, first with the sound of unsheaths one after another, followed by a miserable howl, accompanied by the terrible shouts of the Liang army:
"Enemy attack! There's an enemy attackβ"
But Xu Rong and the others, right at the city gate, after killing the city defense generals, the city gate soldiers were quickly solved, and everyone worked together to quickly remove the thick gate bolt and slowly push the tall city gate open.
The sound of squeaky teeth mixed with messy footsteps.
The Liang army on the city wall began to run down in a hurry.
"Defend the gates! Our army is comingβ"
