453. Liao Zuo's speculation
A day later, Brother Liao and others, who were originally in charge of finding out the news around the county seat, quickly stepped up and caught up with the people who were rushing to the west with the county order.
"Report!"
After hearing this, many people consciously moved out of the way.
After these two days, the people who rushed with the county order also knew that there was a group of warriors fighting against the Xianbei people in the county town in the past two days, and they were buying time for their evacuation.
And this "newspaper" at this moment should be the person who came to deliver the battle report of the county in the past two days.
After hearing this, the county magistrate also walked behind him quickly, wanting to know what was going on in the county seat for the first time!
When Brother Liao was only a few steps away from the county order, he immediately jumped off his horse and knelt in front of the county order.
"Tell me, what's going on in the county?"
Brother Liao adjusted his breathing slightly, and then said:
"My lord, they may all be wiped out!"
"What!"
When the county magistrate heard the news that Zhang Xuan and his party were "wiped out", he exclaimed directly!
At the same time, I also felt that my head was a little dazed, and everything that happened after I met Zhang Xuan and others flashed in my mind.
"What the hell happened!"
"It was probably in the afternoon of the day before yesterday that we heard several loud noises outside the city, and those loud responses must have been the sound of the Xianbei people breaking through the city gates. Then the Xianbei people entered the county seat, and that night, there was a fierce battle in the county!
This fierce battle lasted until midnight! It was about a few hours before there was no sound in the city!
Yesterday around noon, a fire broke out in the city, and it was supposed to be the last effort of the gang, but it didn't take long for the fire to be extinguished!
I think as this fire is extinguished, they ......"
Brother Liao didn't go on, but the meaning was already very obvious.
After listening to Brother Liao's report, the county commander took a long breath, waved his hand, and said:
"Let's go down, repair it well, from now on we will speed up the pace, and at the same time, every soldier will cheer up and be on guard at all times, and the Xianbei people will come to pursue!"
"No!"
After the county order was arranged, Yue He walked to the side of the county order, made a gesture to the county order, and said:
"My lord, I always feel a little strange here?"
"What's so strange!"
"Why don't they set fires at night, but during the day! What is the use of setting fires during the day?
Is it really like what Liao Zuo said, their arson is the last helpless move.
But as far as my understanding of Zhang Xuan and his party in the past few days, as well as their skills, it is always easy for them to set a fire in the county town at night! ”
In the past two days, Yue He has always participated in the guarding of Linbei County, and he will have some intersections with Yang Zaixing, Yuwen Chengdu, Zhang Fei, Yang Hu and others.
The county magistrate thought for a moment and said:
"Maybe that night, I really don't have time to put it! Didn't it say that there was a fierce struggle that night? ”
Yue He shook his head, "It's because of the fierce struggle that they are more able to take advantage of the chaos to set fires!" And take advantage of the chaos to put the fire out, so that they have a better chance! At least there is a chance to escape, and if you set fire to it again during the day, what chance will it have!
If it were me, I would definitely choose to set the fire late at night, and preferably in the middle of the night when the Xianbei people are asleep! Since I can think of this, I don't believe it, Zhang Xuan, they can't think of this. ”
The county magistrate frowned and thought about it, it is indeed such a reason!
"So you mean ......"
"I just have such a question, as for Zhang Xuan, what happened to them in the county, I don't know, I just hope they have their own natural appearance!"
"It's the same as not saying it!"
Yue He coughed lightly, trying to hide the embarrassment at this time!
Then Yue He summoned Liao Zuo to his side.
"Brother Yue, do you have any instructions!"
"Liao Zuo, have you ever been to the county seat?"
Liao Zuo shook his head and said:
"Brother Yue, to tell you the truth, we originally wanted to return to the city from the west gate, but the west gate seems to be blocked, and we didn't open the city gate."
"It's what you just said, it's all your guess based on the noise in the city!"
Yue He continued to ask.
Liao Zuo nodded, feeling that there was really nothing wrong with this, he really didn't see what was happening in the city, but according to the comparison of the number of people between Zhang Xuan and the Xianbei people, combined with the voices in the city, Liao Zuo felt that his speculation should be the truth!
In addition to this, Liao Zuo can't imagine any other possibilities!
After Yue He listened, he fell into thought.
Liao Zuo also stopped bothering Yue He and retreated.
After Yue He thought about it, Yue He said to the county order:
"My lord, why don't I go back and take a look, in fact, Liao Zuo and they haven't entered the county seat, and they don't know what happened in the county! I'll be safe along the way! ”
The county commander listened to Yue He's proposal, sobbed slightly, and then said:
"Go ahead and stay safe! If something happens, withdraw immediately! If possible,...... Forget it, as soon as you find something wrong, just run! That's what you want! ”
"No!"
Yue He actually heard the hidden words of the county order, if it was possible, he really wanted to sneak into the city to see what was going on in the county.
Yue He always felt that Zhang Xuan and his party would not be martyred so simply!
If Zhang Xuan and the others want to run, they have a chance, and they are fully capable of it!
As for Zhang Xuan and the others at this moment, they are cleaning up the unfinished work of the Xianbei people, moving the rocks and rolling logs at the city gate to the side.
Anyway, it's supposed to be today's training mission.
In the process of moving, Yang Zaixing, Yuwen Chengdu and many others came to discuss with each other, how Zhang Xuan managed to collapse the entire city gate!
However, these people discussed for a long time, and they did not come to a satisfactory conclusion.
However, it is not that there is no gain, it is indeed related to a few bamboo tubes that Zhang Xuan experimented with in the camp, as Yuwen Chengdu guessed.
The night before, Zhang Xuan had people find several places with relatively large gaps in the city wall directly above the city gate, and put a bamboo tube in these gaps.
A slender thread was attached to one of the bamboo tubes, at least in their eyes.
After all the Xianbei people entered the county, Zhang Xuan ignited all these lines by himself!
Soon after the ignition was fired, a deafening loud noise broke out at the city gate.
The gate also collapsed with this loud bang.
