Volume 2 Ji Hui Ningdu Chapter 259 The battle begins

Chen Zhi rode to the city wall, and when he saw the city, he quickly greeted him and helped him lead the horse.

"General, didn't you go home and rest? Why is it coming again? The soldier asked a little uneasily, he speculated in his heart that this new officer of General Chen had taken office and had come to a surprise inspection, but fortunately he was not lazy.

"Go, call Admiral Tan and the captains of each school to meet me!" Chen Zhi walked towards the top of the city wall.

"Yes!"

Although he didn't know what was going on, he didn't dare to ask more when he saw Chen Zhi's face.

Chen Zhi walked up to the city wall, and saw from a distance that the lights of the camp outside the city had been extinguished a lot, and his heart was really in trouble.

"General!" The soldiers defending the city greeted him.

"When did the lights go out in the enemy camp?" According to the usual practice of the enemy troops outside the city, they would attack the city by throwing stones every once in a while, so the lights of the camp were never extinguished all these days.

"Shortly after the general left, it was extinguished!" The soldier replied.

Chen Zhi looked at the lack of stones on the city wall, and asked, "How long has it been since you threw stones into the city?" ”

"General Hui, I haven't thrown stones for about two hours. Maybe they're running out of stones, or maybe they're tired? The soldier didn't feel anything wrong at all, guessed.

Chen Zhi shook his head and said in his heart, "Sure enough, my brother's information is correct, the enemy army is planning to attack tonight!" ”

"Cheer up and keep an eye on every move in the city."

"Yes!" The soldier straightened up.

In less than half a burnt of incense, Chen Zhi gathered all the generals of Heyuan Mansion together and took out the information sent by Zhuang Lingzhi.

Tan Qihe looked solemnly at the lines of words on the silk cloth, and handed them to the others one by one.

"General Chen, who passed this information on? Is it reliable? He asked.

"Yes, General, we don't know the authenticity of this information, the enemy has besieged the city for several days, and has not let the soldiers attack the city, only launched a stone throw, although it has caused us a lot of losses, but there has been no action to attack the city. Their tactics are obviously a tired tactic, and you, general, have already seen through it. So let the soldiers take turns to rest, the soldiers on duty during the day have fallen asleep at this time, if this information is false, then wake them up, wouldn't it be their trick? ”

Chen Zhi nodded, "What Captain Lu said is very reasonable, but the identity of the person who sent the information will not be able to be explained to you." What the general can tell you is that the information about Shangguan Xiu's feint defeat of the city last time was sent by him. ”

When Tan Qihe heard this, he hurriedly said: "Then tonight, the enemy army will definitely attack." Now that the time is less than half an hour, the general, please give the order! ”

"General, give the order, we will all obey the general's dispatch!"

"Good!" Chen Zhi immediately made arrangements, "Vice General Tan, there are only 1,000 defenders at the North Gate now, so please lead 3,000 men and horses from your headquarters to support the North Gate!" Captain Lu, you lead a thousand soldiers to the west gate, Captain Ma, you lead a thousand soldiers to the east gate. As for the others, they will stay at the south gate with Ben! ”

"Wait!" Tan Qihe looked puzzled, "General, didn't you say that this information is true?" The letter said that the south gate was only a feint, and the main force of the enemy army was actually at the north gate! Now the main force of the enemy army has 30,000 people, if the battle at the North Gate is together, then these 3,000 people, plus the original 1,000 defenders, will not be able to hold out to the support of the general! ”

"Yes, the intelligence may be true, but Ben believes that their real target is the South Gate!"

Everyone present was puzzled, "The general said this, and his subordinates didn't understand." ”

"Vice General Tan, let me ask you, where is the north gate to the north?"

"It's Bai Yuan City!"

"How long does it take to get from the South Gate to the North Gate?"

Tan Qihe's mind suddenly flashed with a hint of abruptness, "It will take at least a day to go around the south gate to the north gate, and go around the mountains to the west!" If you go around to the east, you only need to pass through Zihu, but because of Baiyuan City, there is a post in Baiyuan City on the north side of Zihu Lake, where 500 soldiers are stationed. If it is not discovered by the outpost, it will only take two hours to reach the north gate, and if it is discovered, it will take at least another hour to deal with the garrison of the Baiyuan outpost. ”

"This information was delivered at the time of unitary time! In other words, when the unitary time arrives at the sub-hour, it is worth three hours. So, I think it's very likely that the identity of the person who delivered the information has been discovered, but he's still in the dark. This piece of information was deliberately sent by the enemy commander, and the purpose was to transfer all the main forces of our army to the north gate! ”

The time was approaching, and Zhuang Lingzhi finally noticed the abnormality.

Although he saw the movement of the Chengfeng army, the Chengfeng army showed no sign of leaving the camp outside the south gate.

"It's not good, the eldest grandson Mingyue doesn't want to attack the north gate at all! Her goal is the South Gate! Zhuang Lingzhi shouted in his heart that it was not good, he might have been fooled!

"If, Brother Zhengping Xian sees the information, he will definitely transfer all the main forces of Heyuan Mansion to the north gate, then the south gate...... It's nothing! Beads of sweat fell down his sweat, and his heart was already terrified.

He was in his barracks, restless, praying in his heart that Chen Zhi did not see his message.

"No, I'm going to get this message back to the city!" He was very anxious in his heart, if he really caused the loss of Heyuan Mansion because of his wrong information, he didn't know how to face Chen Zhi.

He lifted the tent and went out.

"Ling Zhi, where are you going?" As soon as he walked out of the barracks, a familiar figure stopped in front of him, it was Deputy General Hu Yuansong.

"Vice General Hu!" He feigned composure and said hello.

"It's less than half an hour away, and we're about to attack. At this time, where are you going? Hu Yuansong asked leisurely again.

"I ...... I want to go out and make it easier. ”

"I think it's fake that it's convenient for you to go out, and it's true that you want to pass on the news, right?" Hu Yuansong opened his mouth and said, "But what if you pass the news into the city now? Will they be able to bring the main force back from the north gate back to the south gate in half an hour? ”

The beads of sweat on Zhuang Lingzhi's forehead fell like beans, "The last general doesn't know what you mean. ”

"What you did, do you think General Shangguan doesn't know? He saw you pass information into the city! Hu Yuan snorted loudly, with a little disappointment in his tone.

Zhuang Lingzhi lowered his head and slowly put his hand on the hilt.

"What? Still want to kill me? Hu Yuansong saw his little action and said with a sneer.

"I'm sorry! Vice Admiral Hu! With a bang, he pulled out the long knife and slashed at Hu Yuansong.

Hu Yuansong had long expected that he would jump off the wall in a hurry, dodge the knife with a side dodge.

Seeing that the knife missed, Zhuang Lingzhi didn't care about chasing the knife anymore, and ran directly past Hu Yuansong and ran outside.

But he had not gone far when he ran head-on into a group of soldiers, all of whom were holding spears and fanning him around.

"You've disappointed me so much." Hu Yuansong's voice sounded behind him.

Zhuang Lingzhi knew that he had no way out, so he clenched the long knife in his hand and said nothing.

"All these years, you have followed me, have I treated you half a penny?" Hu Yuansong walked over slowly, "So, that's how you treated me?" ”

"Phew!" Zhuang Lingzhi spat lightly, "Hu Yuansong, you greedy for life and afraid of death, you still have the face to say such things!" Can the King of Zhongshan treat you and Shangguan Xiu half of the way? You are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you actually surrendered to Xuanyuanding! ”

"In the face of absolute strength, no matter how much you resist, it is futile. At this point, Ben Shuai felt that Shangguan Xiu and Vice General Hu were not wrong. A woman's voice came from behind the soldier.

The soldiers moved out of the way, and the eldest grandson Mingyue walked slowly towards him.

In addition to the eldest grandson Mingyue, behind her are Shangguan Xiu and eldest grandson Mingwei.

"Humph!" Zhuang Lingzhi snorted arrogantly and sneered at the words of the eldest grandson Mingyue.

"Captain Zhuang, Ben Shuai will give you a chance to live, do you want to?"

Zhuang Lingzhi knew that the general trend had gone, and he had no chance of surviving today. But he was curious about how he had been discovered.

"I don't think I've revealed any flaws, how did you find out that I was sending information to Heyuan Mansion?"

"We didn't know at first that you would be a traitor! Today's announcement of the siege of the city is a trap set by the commander in chief for traitors, I didn't expect you to get into it yourself, everyone in my camp was under surveillance at that time, and when you passed on the news, I and the commander saw it clearly! Shangguan Xiu said.

Zhuang Lingzhi's face turned pale for a while, and he understood that this so-called siege was a trap for the purpose of specifically arresting him.

However, he was a little relaxed, since it was a trap for him, then the attack on Heyuan Mansion tonight was fake news, so he didn't have to worry about it.

When he thought of this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you think the news of the attack tonight is fake?" Shangguan Xiu looked at his expression and showed a sneer, "It's a pity, it's true that you attacked Heyuan Mansion tonight!" ”

"What? You are talking nonsense! Zhuang Lingzhi's hand holding the long knife trembled a little, "Aren't you designing like this just to catch me?" How could it be ......"

"It's just that if you were simply arrested, I was arrested when you delivered the news. Do you have to wait until now? ”

The knife in Zhuang Lingzhi's hand fell to the ground, covering his face with both hands, and he was in great pain, "Brother Zhengping, I'm sorry, I hurt you!" Sister, I'm sorry ......."

"Captain Zhuang, I know that Chen Zhi is your brother-in-law, if you write a letter to Chen Zhi to persuade him to surrender and cooperate with us to take Heyuan Mansion, I will keep your family safe and sound, how about it?" The eldest grandson Mingyue spoke.

"Phew! I'd rather die than be a traitor! ”

"Treason? Zhongshan country? The eldest grandson Mingyue sneered, "This world is all Great Xia, the Zhongshan Ming clan is just stealing the national capital, the Ming clan is perverse in power, the sky is angry and resentful, and the people under his rule are miserable, what qualifications do they have?" The royal family of Great Xia is orthodox, and now His Majesty's army has come, just to sweep away the Ming rebellion and restore peace in the world. Your vain attempt to resist His Majesty's Heavenly Army is the real treason! ”

"It's come to this, it's useless to talk about it!" Zhuang Lingzhi seems to be a tendon, and still refuses to surrender.

"Okay, that's the case." Eldest Sun Mingyue didn't have the patience to persuade him to surrender again, "Shangguan Xiu, eldest grandson Mingwei!" ”

"The last general!"

"Tonight, attack the city on time!"
