Chapter 374 Fool Through

In Anqing City, most of the peasant troops in the city were asleep at this time, and even those patrolling outside were absent-minded. Except for the attack on Anqing City a year ago, there has been no movement at all since the New Year. In fact, this is also normal, the officers and soldiers attacked Anqing several times, but all of them returned with a feather, there is no benefit, and it is pointless to fight Anqing hard.

Because of this, from He Yishan to Feng Cen, and then to the little minions below, they all had a relaxed mentality, and their defenses were relaxed. When there was a strange movement in the direction of Huilin Town, the soldiers at the head of the city did not react for a while, looking at the fire in the direction of Huilin Town, the team leader came back to his senses, and kicked the guy who was still snoring next to him to wake up, "Don't sleep, don't sleep, Huilin Town is attacked, and the officers and soldiers are going to fight Anqing." You..... Hurry up and inform Leader He, and you, and tell the brothers at the city gate that they are ready to receive the brothers from Huilin Town into the city at any time. ”

The leader of the team didn't think that the soldiers and horses of less than 1,000 people in Huilin Town could block the attack of the officers and soldiers, and the soldiers and horses originally arranged on the periphery were used for vigilance, and it was almost impossible to expect them to block the officers and soldiers. Therefore, a long time ago, Anqing City made a relatively mature plan. As long as there is danger in the periphery, Anqing City will respond in time, so that not only will Anqing City have enough time to deal with the attack of officers and soldiers, but the soldiers and horses on the periphery will not lose too much.

The leader of the team also acted according to the plan, but where did he think that Huilin Town had been taken down by the officers and soldiers an hour ago. If he had known this, he would not have given such an order. Huilin Town was taken by officers and soldiers around the time, and it was only in the middle of the ugly time that the arrow was seen in the sky, and it was clear that there was a problem. It can only be said that Anqing City is too confident in this set of defense systems that combines internal and external, and no one will think that the officers and soldiers can take Huilin Town quietly.

When the news reached the government, He Yishan was lying on the couch and falling asleep. Recently, He Yishan has not been easy at all, Hangzhou has been targeted by the living Hades in succession, and King Chuang will withdraw from Hangzhou Mansion in the near future and return to the Central Plains, so Anqing is particularly important. During the day, Feng Cen and others were brought in and discussed the arrangements behind. In short, we have to pay close attention to the officers and soldiers in the Qianshan area, once this army of officers and soldiers is allowed to pour into the Chizhou Mansion, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Scheduling in the middle is not an easy job, because once something goes wrong, it will be He Yishan who will bear the responsibility at that time. After two days, he asked Feng Cen to take some soldiers and horses to the south to guard, so that one south and one north could ensure that nothing went wrong. In this area, the only ones who are really worth worrying about are Cao Wenzhao and Zhao Shujiao's soldiers and horses. Although the living king of Hades is terrifying, his army is still eating ashes after breaking the queen, and he will not be able to control the affairs of Chizhou Mansion for a while.

A heavy knock on the door sounded, which made He Yishan upset, he hadn't rested for nearly twenty hours, and he was awakened at this time, can he not be angry? put on his clothes, opened the door angrily, and scolded the minions who were talking to him: "What time is it, I don't know if Lao Tzu needs to rest?" How big of a deal can it be, look at the way you shout, what kind of system can it become? ”

The minion panted, arched his hand and saluted, and then said in a panic: "Leader He, just now there was an arrow warning in the direction of Huilin Town, and the fire was raging over there, and I think the officers and soldiers have made a move on Huilin Town." ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? He Yishan didn't care about scolding, washed his face hastily, and hurriedly went out. He Yishan was not worried about the safety of Anqing City, he was still very confident in his deployment. It's just that the officers and soldiers sneaked up on Huilin Town at this time, which was really a bit surprising. When I came to the fork in Nancheng, I saw a big man leading more than a dozen soldiers over, and when I looked at it, it turned out to be Feng Cen.

"Brother He, you know it too? It's really an evil sect, at this time, the officers and soldiers attacked Huilin Town, are they sick? Feng Cen hated this group of officers and soldiers so much that he didn't even let people sleep well. Walking up to the top of the city, I looked into the distance, and saw a fire in the distance getting closer and closer to Huilin Town, and it should be that the guards of Huilin Town had retreated. The corners of He Yishan's mouth were crooked, and he looked at Feng Cen with a wry smile, "Brother, please bring someone to pick it up, but I want to see what these officers and soldiers want to do, do you really think that you can take Anqing City by sneaking up on it at night?" In my opinion, Cao Wenzhao and those people seem to be forced to be anxious. ”

Feng Cen nodded with a smile, and arched his hand with confidence: "Brother He, don't worry, Feng guarantees that the officers and soldiers will not be able to get to the city." Feng Cen dared to say this kind of thing, it was not a joke, in order to deal with the officers and soldiers, a lot of fortifications were built outside Anqing City. The houses and temporary walls resemble a miniature version of the city, and these walls work together with the city walls to keep the city of Anqing impregnable.

If Tiemo was there, he would have been very surprised, because the peasant army had a wall around Anqing City, which was similar to the pillboxes of later generations. He Yishan came up with such an idea, and he was also forced out. The musketeers of the officers and soldiers are really too powerful, when He Yishan crisscrossed northern Shaanxi, he did not suffer much, and later met the musketeers under the hands of the living king of Yama in Shanxi, and He Yishan was beaten to ashes by the musketeers in that battle. Later, after much deliberation, I came up with such an idea. I hid behind the wall, dug a few small holes, and shot arrows from the small holes.

He Yishan's method of dealing with it was originally used to deal with the soldiers and horses of Yunfu, but now it is being used on Cao Wenzhao and others. Cao Wenzhao also sent troops to fight Anqing City, but he was not less deflated under Anqing City. He Yishan's method costs the people and money, and it looks very stupid, but it has a miraculous effect. If it weren't for the fact that Anqing City was really difficult to fight, Cao Wenzhao would not always think about sneak attacks, it was really a frontal attack, and there was no hope.

In the time of half a pillar of incense, there was a bustling sound under the city of Anqing, and sure enough, hundreds of peasant troops fled back in disarray, and these people were all disheveled and looked embarrassed. In the back, some people were entangled by officers and soldiers, and the screams continued. After crossing the narrow road, a strong man brandished a large blade and shouted: "Those in front, prepare bows and arrows quickly, the thieves and soldiers are very powerful, and beat them back." ”

Feng Cen was already prepared, and made a gesture for everyone to hurry through, and the archers and musketeers were also ready. Soon, a group of officers and soldiers came forward, arrows and fires were fired, and the officers and soldiers dodged in all directions, and after a while, one of the fierce generals held a torch and scolded loudly: "Mother, count your fate, let you live for two more days." He Yishan, I know you're here, you listen to me, your head will be the master's sooner or later, you wash my neck and wait. ”

The torch reflected that young face, don't say Feng Cen, even He Yishan on the head of the city can see it clearly. Isn't this Cao Wenzhao's nephew Cao Bianjiao? He Yishan was deeply impressed by this young man, Feng Cen bullied him for being young and wanted to take the opportunity to cut off this person's head, but after more than a dozen moves, he was beaten by Cao Wenzhao. In the battle a year ago, Cao Bianjiao and Wu Sangui led two troops and horses to attack Anqing City, and almost blew up the north city gate, He Yishan was very impressed by these two people. In contrast, in terms of charging into battle, Cao Bianjiao is even more fierce than Wu Sangui.

In the middle of the night, Cao Wenzhao actually sent his own nephew out, and it seems that he was really forced to have no choice. In this case, He Yishan is more at ease, Cao Bianjiao is making a lot of nonsense, is this provoking? Stretching out his hand and pointing in the direction where Cao Bianjiao was, He Yishan said loudly: "The surname Cao, you still touch your chin to see if your hair grows together." It's up to you, and you still want to kill Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu is staying in this Anqing City, are you coming? ”

Cao Bianjiao glared at each other, and spat at the mouth fiercely, "I'm sorry, you are also a hero who has been famous for a long time, and you are also a gutless bandit, since you don't dare to come out, then the master won't play with you, brothers, withdraw ......"

Although it was a retreat, the retreat was very orderly, but Feng Cen was a little unwilling. If Cao Bianjiao storms Anqing City, it is guaranteed that more than half of Cao Bianjiao's men will be killed or injured, and if he is lucky, he will be able to kill Cao Bianjiao, which will be a great achievement.

After confirming that Cao Bianjiao had evacuated, Feng Cen sent people to search all the way along the road to Huilin Town, and couldn't help but be a little shocked. There were many corpses lying scattered along the road, most of them disheveled, and they didn't even have a blade in their hands. It is conceivable that Cao Bianjiao's sneak attack on Huilin Town was still very successful, if it wasn't for the timely release of arrows from Huilin Town, it would have been difficult for Cao Bianjiao to succeed.

At the beginning of the year, there was finally a preliminary statistic. was attacked by Cao Bianjiao, and nearly 400 people were lost overnight, which made He Yishan very angry. It's also a shame that Cao Wenzhao and those people are in a hurry to go to Chizhou Mansion, if there is enough time and grind slowly, Cao Wenzhao eats three or four hundred people at a time, and he can also go crazy with consumption.

Feng Cen returned to the mansion, hurriedly found a cup and got himself a cup of tea, and drank a few sips of it, then said with a broken face: "Brother He, this time Huilin Town suffered a lot of losses, the barracks were destroyed, and many of the brothers were driven out before they had time to resist, and many people died along the way. If it hadn't been for the timely signal, I'm afraid we would have really suffered. ”

"Well, I asked someone, and in just half an hour, nearly 400 people were lost, which is not a small loss. Those remaining brothers should be appeased, and in addition, inform the people in other places that they must be on guard. Cao Wenzhao is now a mad dog who can do anything. Since he sent Cao Bianjiao to attack Huilin Town, he wanted to make arrangements in other directions. ”

Feng Cen deeply agreed, and nodded lightly, "The brother who escaped from Huilin Town is just a little lacking in spirit, and it is estimated that he will be fine after resting for two days." ”

He Yishan was afraid that there would be any more moths, so he didn't dare to sleep all night, he and Feng Cen and others closely watched the movements everywhere, but until dawn, there was no attack in other places, and even the shadows of officers and soldiers were not found. Now He Yishan didn't dare to sleep even more, because the development of things was completely different from what he expected.

At that time, He Yishan walked around the house, looking a little uneasy. There was a bowl of hot porridge on the table, but there was no appetite at all. The door was pushed open, and when I looked up, I saw Feng Cen striding in. Feng Cen walked into the house and didn't say anything, just smiled bitterly and shook his head at He Yishan, He Yishan couldn't help but be puzzled, "There is no movement in other places?" ”

"No, and according to our reports, since Cao Bianjiao withdrew from Huilin Town, the officers and soldiers in the Qianshan area have not been able to shrink, and there is no sign of using troops at all. In addition, Qin Liangyu in the west also moved closer to Qianshan County with soldiers and horses, but he didn't mean to attack Anqing" Feng Cen hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Brother He, do you think we are thinking too much?" Cao Wenzhao just made a false shot, his real intention was to bypass from the south? ”

After thinking about it for a while, He Yishan shook his head, "It's impossible, not to mention that the time is not in time, even if you want to bypass from the south, at this time, you should send troops to move closer to the south first, but the officers and soldiers in Qianshan County have not moved so far, which is unreasonable." ”

"No, there must be a problem" When He Yishan was in northern Shaanxi, he didn't deal with Cao Wenzhao a lot, and in his impression, Cao Wenzhao was a very difficult person to deal with. If Cao Wenzhao didn't have a few brushes, he wouldn't be valued by the Living Yama King and entrusted with a heavy task, "It must be something we have overlooked, Cao Wenzhao can't do nothing." ”

Suddenly, a thought flashed through He Yishan's mind, and that face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, "Brother, where are those people who fled back from Huilin Town arranged?" Has anyone been sent to verify your identity? ”

"It's arranged in Nancheng, verify your identity? After a night of fierce fighting, very tired, everyone fell asleep, even if it was checked, it would be later......" Seeing He Yishan's frightened eyes, Feng Cen instantly understood something, and he said in shock, "Brother He, do you mean that there is something wrong with those brothers who escaped from Huilin Town?" ”

"If there is a problem, check it and find out, ...... Can't delay, if there's a problem, something big will happen! He Yishan made a gesture and was about to leave the house with Feng Cen, but as soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard a loud noise, and the ground trembled three times.

"What's going on? Where does the sound come from? He Yishan was furious, and after a while, some soldiers broke into the courtyard in a panic, "Oh no, someone blew up the south gate, and now they have rushed to the wall outside the south gate......

He Yishan's face turned pale, and he patted his thigh in annoyance, "It's over, it's all over, those people really have a problem." No...... We still have a chance..... Taking advantage of the fact that Cao Wenzhao's main force had not arrived, he quickly destroyed this group of dogs......."

It's easy to say, but it's too hard to do. When He Yishan came to the South City Gate, what he saw was an empty doorway, and the South City was even more chaotic, and many people were in a state of semi-confusion, and they couldn't figure out who was an enemy or a friend. The southern city was in chaos, and the walls outside the city gate were even more miserable. A group of men and horses blew up the city gate and went straight to the houses near the wall, and the peasant army in charge of defense was still making up for sleep, and many people were killed on the spot before they could react.
