About an hour later

Upstairs in the south of Ping'an Town

Zhou Tianwen, the commander in charge of the city defense, was reminded by his subordinates to see a cavalry of the "Zhou Army" approaching.

Compared with Liu Yong, who had a cautious personality, Zhou Tianwen was obviously a lot more careless, and when he saw this cavalry coming to the city, he made people shout and ask.

"Who are you and where do you come from?"

Under the city, Chang Bang and others, who were disguised as Zhou army generals, were quite excited to see that the initial plan to falsely claim that the Zhou army was close to the city wall was successful, and when they heard Zhou Tianwen send someone to ask them about their belonging and this purpose, Chang Bang's heart moved, and he wanted to try to see if he could deceive the city gate.

So, Chang Storm turned his head and called a clever general, and explained a few words in his ear, and the general came out of the battle and shouted loudly to the city tower.

"We are under the command of Song Shuai, and we were ordered to come to escort the grain and grass transported to Tanghuai Mountain."

Song Shuai, that is, Song Han, the deputy marshal of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the former general of the Jin army, Tang Huaishan is the camp where Song Han confronted the Jin army, located in Beiling Mansion.

In fact, according to common sense, there is a big loophole in this sentence that the general of Changbang said, that is, the soldiers and horses sent by Tang Huaishan will not come from the direction of Tuxian, and the cavalry of Changbang and them went straight to Ping'an Town from the Tanshan camp, and it doesn't look like they came from Guangqing Mansion.

However, Chang Storm can't help it, the Zhou army in Ping'an Town is not stupid, the reduction of the defenders of Tuxian County has spread throughout the entire Zhou army, and the other party must know that there will be nearly 10,000 cavalry in Tuxian.

The rest of the counties in Nanling Mansion are not far from Luo County, and they must have contact with the defenders of Ping'an Town on weekdays, and they are all acquaintances who know each other well, and it is not easy to pretend, so Changbang had to raise the banner of Song Han in Beiling.

It's better to have a hole than to see through it............

…………

Facts have proved that Changbang's adventure was right, and Zhou Tianwen, as the military attache of Ping'an Town, had dealt with the grain transporters and horses of the counties of Nanling Prefecture and even the general army camp outside the General Pass.

If Chang Storm claimed to be from Tuxian or the general camp, he would be able to be questioned by Zhou Tianwen in a few faces, but he found another way to falsely claim that Song Han was under his command, which really blinded Zhou Tianwen.

On the contrary, it is the direction of Chang Storm's worries, which is not something worth studying in Zhou Tianwen.

The reason is very simple, because Peng Kuohai is now launching a counterattack, which has caused the front line to become a pot of porridge, and in order to ensure that the delivery of military rations is not delayed by the war, it is common for the teams that come to transport grain to take a detour and change their routes.

Zhou Tianwen has been stationed in Ping'an Town for several months, and similar situations have happened several times, so he didn't need to explain the idea of Chang Violence at all, he succeeded in making up for his own brain.

Of course, the brain is the brain, Zhou Tianwen is not stupid, he didn't believe what Chang Violent said, he personally leaned out of the female wall to negotiate with the general of the Jin army.

Before the raid, Yan Kui and they had done training in this area, Zhou Tianwen asked repeatedly, and the generals all answered like a stream, and after a few times, Zhou Tianwen's vigilance dropped greatly.

I wanted to open the city gate directly and let people into the city, but for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, and after thinking about it, Zhou Tianwen still decided to report to his boss Sun Yuting, the general of Ping'an Town and the general of the Sipin Shooting Battalion, and let him decide whether to open the door or not.

So, while sending someone to inform Changsun Yuting, Zhou Tianwen personally shouted outside the city.

"Wait a minute, I have sent someone to ask my family, General Sun, and after the general identifies your grain transportation documents, we will open the door immediately, the granary is heavy, the rules are like this, and I hope you will understand."

…………

As soon as Zhou Tianwen's words came out, Chang Storm outside the city closed his eyes helplessly, he knew that the plan to open the city gate by fraud had failed.

There's no way, they're not afraid to reply to the answer, but they can't get Zhou Jun's official documents, which can't be pretended to be a piece of paperwork.

In addition, the paper, handwriting style, arrangement, and seals that have been stamped are all exquisite, and it is difficult for outsiders to imitate them.

"We can't delay with them, when the eldest Sun Yuting comes, we can't get the papers, we will inevitably show the stuffing, the weapons are like this, why don't we take advantage of the lax vigilance of the Zhou army in the city tower and catch them off guard."

Not only did Chang Bang think of the key, but Yan Kui, who had seen Peng Kuohai and Di Yi personally give military orders, also quickly realized the problem, his heart moved, and he turned his head to Chang Bang and suggested.

Chang Bang nodded, waved his hand back, and the mounted archers who had been prepared before began to retreat silently, replaced by several rows of specially selected soldiers with strong arms, holding the canister of fire oil that had been carried all the way, and staring straight at the city tower above.

As long as Chang Storm gave an order, the fire oil tank in his hand would be thrown on the city tower and shattered and exploded.

…………

"Captain, look, something seems wrong with them?"

On the tower of the city, the sharp-eyed soldier Zhou discovered the abnormality of the Jin army and hurriedly reminded Zhou Tianwen, but it was too late.

"Throw."

With a loud shout, these newly established "grenadiers" immediately exerted all their strength and threw the oil cans in their hands towards the city tower.

Bang bang bang

In response to the sound of porcelain jars shattering, in the blink of an eye, the south city tower of Ping'an Town was filled with a rich and pungent smell of fire oil.

"It's not good, it's a plan, and below is the Jin army."

Zhou Tianwen, who witnessed all this, realized the problem no matter how big his heart was, and his eyes turned red: "Go and report to General Changsun, the Jin army is coming." ”

As soon as the words fell, before the soldiers who had been ordered went to pass the word, the rockets of the cavalry archers of the Jin army on the city wall were shot.

As mentioned above, these cavalry archers who raided the cavalry were the top soldiers of each army, and their archery skills were quite good.

"Okay."

Seeing that the cavalry archers had successfully attacked the city tower, Chang Bang shouted hello, and then called a Jin general, and asked him to lead a part of the cavalry archers and all the "bombardiers" to carry half of the remaining fire oil in the army, and continue to swim along the city wall of Ping'an Town, continuing to expand the fire.

Then, Chang Bang glanced at the city tower that had been in chaos, and brazenly issued an order to the rest of the cavalry to attack the city, and must take advantage of this opportunity to attack the city in one fell swoop.

"Kill!"

As Yan Kui, who had just been appointed as the deputy general by Chang Storm, rushed to the city gate with his personal guards, the rest of the Jin army generals also followed one after another, even the main general of Chang Storm was no exception.

So far, the success or failure of this battle has happened like this............

…………

Just when the Jin army stormed the south gate of Ping'an Town under the leadership of Chang Bang and Yan Kui, Sun Yuting, the chief general of the Zhou army in the city, also saw the billowing black smoke rising from the south gate due to the fire.

"What's going on, why did Nancheng catch fire?"

As the general of the granary of the army, Changsun Yuting was more afraid of fire than anyone else, and when he saw the fire in the city at this time, General Changsun's eyes turned red.

"Quickly assemble the soldiers and horses in the city, the left and right battalions will guard the main roads in the city, control the fire from spreading to the granary, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will go to the south city with the general to fight the fire."

"Newspaper~"

After the order of the eldest grandson Yuting was delivered, just as he was getting on his horse and preparing to go to Nancheng with his own soldiers to fight the fire, the messenger sent by Zhou Tianwen finally arrived.

"Is it the Jin army attacking?"

Hearing that the fire in Nancheng was not an accident but an attack by the Jin army, Changsun Yuting suddenly fell silent.

According to common sense, when he heard that the Jin army stormed the southern city and attacked the city tower, the eldest grandson Yuting should quickly send heavy troops to the southern city to support from the perspective of defending the city according to the enemy or controlling the fire in the city.

But when Changsun Yuting saw this situation, he hesitated deeply.

Here, I want to talk about the background of General Changsun, the eldest grandson Yuting, who was born in a family of generals, and his ancestors were generals in the army in the past.

His grandfather's eldest grandson is the right-hand man of the Western Zhou Dynasty Taizu, after the founding of the country, he was awarded the title of Liang Guogong for his merits, and the official was the former general of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the crown prince Taibao, and he was accompanied by the Western Zhou Dynasty Taizu Mausoleum after his death.

Lao Tzu is a hero, the father of the eldest grandson Yuting, the eldest grandson Wuchang, not only inherited the title of the old father, but also inherited the ability to march and fight, and now he is the general of the Western Zhou Dynasty, resisting Rong Di on the border of Bingzhou, one of the giants of the Western Zhou military.

Under the influence of such a family background, the eldest grandson Yuting has been familiar with ancient and modern military books since he was a child, knows all about military affairs, and is one of the most talented generals of the younger generation in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Even though, before this, Changsun Yuting had not had the experience of leading troops alone.........

…………

The facts are explained to be clear.

In the current situation that Ping'an Town is facing the Jin army's desperate attack on the southern city gate, the best solution for a mature veteran or even an ordinary general with relevant experience in defending the city is to immediately increase the troops in the southern city, but General Changsun, who is familiar with military books, does not think this is a way to deal with it.

The strategic-minded eldest Sun Yuting believed that with such an important operation as the raid on Ping'an Town, it would definitely be impossible for the Jin army to concentrate all its hopes and forces on Nancheng, otherwise once it was frustrated, the raid plan would inevitably fail.

Therefore, if he puts himself in his shoes, if he was the chief general of the Jin army, he would definitely not make such a fatal mistake, and the fierce onslaught of the Jin army in Nancheng at this time was definitely a trick to lure the enemy away from the mountain.

Once he galloped to the south of the city, he would inevitably draw the rest of the city gate defenders in the city, causing all the soldiers and horses in the city to gather in the south city, and the rest of the defenders were empty.

At this time, the real main force of the Jin army ambushed in the rest of the city gates will definitely take this opportunity to attack the city in one fell swoop and attack the granary.

"Tsk, this plan is really tricky, fortunately, Ben will look like a torch, otherwise he almost fell into the plan."

General Changsun, who thought that he had seen through the "tricks" of the Jin army, looked quite complacent, and then ordered the whole army to stick to the gates of each department.

And sent someone to inform Zhou Tianwen, the defender of Nancheng, that the Nancheng Jin army was just a feint, the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, as long as they withstood the previous onslaught, and the main force of the Jin army appeared behind, the offensive they faced would decline.

The herald passed on the words of the eldest grandson Yuting to Zhou Tianwen, who was almost smoked into a black man.

This Nancheng guard, who had to take care of the fire control while withstanding the onslaught of the Jin army, heard this new order from his boss, and scolded the eldest grandson Ji who was lying next to Taizu and the eighteenth generation ancestor of the eldest grandson family who was further up.

He almost dragged the herald to the city tower, let him witness the southern city tower that was almost beaten (burned) and broken, and then pointed to the Jin army under the city who were frantically attacking the city, and roared to the herald.

"Tell General Changsun what you see, what we are facing in Nancheng is by no means a feint, it is the main force of the Jin army, please send troops to rescue quickly."

The herald was frightened by Zhou Tianwen, who was roaring with green muscles, and almost ran back to the city, and quickly sent the news to the ears of the eldest grandson Yuting.

…………

"Hmph, if you don't hold on well, you dare to mess with our army's heart, if it weren't for the current war, I would have beheaded this wing."

General Changsun, who was holding Zhizhu, did not believe Zhou Tianwen's words at all, but the embarrassment of the battle in Nancheng was attributed to Zhou Tianwen's incompetence in command.

Yes, to this day, the eldest grandson Yuting is still insisting that the Jin army is diverting the tiger from the mountain.

This "tiger" of the gate was deeply conceited of his own one-sided analysis, and only used the offensive and defensive tactics of one place and one city in Ping'an Town, without considering the situation of the Jin army from the overall scope, and stubbornly determined that the Jin army lured him to divide his troops.

He is clever and resourceful, but he is obsessed with the taboo of using soldiers and does not know, and he is complacent............

At the same time, the main general made a mistake, and it was those innocent soldiers who suffered, waiting for the herald to say the words of the eldest grandson Yuting to Zhou Tianwen, who had just been hit by an arrow in his right arm.

The Nancheng guard, who had been fighting fiercely with the Jin army for more than an hour, laughed at himself, looked around at the soldiers under his command who were all wounded and miserable, and wept sadly.

"Brothers, after this battle, if there is anyone alive, please pass a message to the general on behalf of someone in my Zhou, the loss of peace is the fault of the eldest grandson."

After that, Zhou Tianwen pulled out the arrow on his right arm, picked up the waist knife in his hand, and killed the city gate alone.

About half an hour later, at the cost of more than 3,000 cavalry casualties, Chang Storm finally entered Ping'an Town, and with the roar of horses' hooves, the flames began to spread from the south gate to the granary............
