Between the undulating hills of Funiu Mountain, there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves.
Soon after, at the bend at the foot of the mountain, a number of cavalry appeared, one of whom was holding a large brown flag, and in the darkness of the night, the shadow on the flag did not know what was written on it.
"Brother Xiao, you see a team of cavalry over there." On the tower of Xiangcheng, a Khitan sergeant in his twenties said.
The Brother Xiao in his mouth, but about thirty years old, was full of alcohol, sleepy-eyed, heard someone talking to him, he was stunned for a long time, only under the gesture of the person, he suddenly rushed to the battlement of the city tower, opened his mouth, "Oh", and couldn't help but spit it out.
The sergeant shook his head and hurriedly walked over to help this Brother Xiao hammer his back. Drunk people generally can't blow the wind, and when the wind blows, seven or eight points of drunkenness can evolve into a full drunkenness.
After Brother Xiao finally stopped vomiting, the sergeant said again: "Brother Xiao, do you see a team of people coming in the distance?" ”
Brother Xiao reluctantly opened his eyes wide, looked at the black shadow boy outside the city for a long time, and then said, "Good wine, really good wine." The wine of the Central Plains is sweet and refreshing, and it does not have all the spicy taste of our wine. Good wine, really good wine... Adversity... Ludy, who's riding a horse in the middle of the night? ”
The sergeant named Lu Di paused for a moment, daring to love this person who didn't sober up at all, and he didn't hear a word of his own words clearly. He couldn't help but cry out bitterly, looked at the sergeants around him who were laughing, and said helplessly again: "Brother Xiao, there is an army outside. ”
"Oh... That's our reinforcements. Go, let throw a rope down, let them get the seal, we're right. "This Xiangcheng is between the mountains of this Funiu Mountain, and it is the only place to pass from Xuzhou (Xuchang) and Ruzhou (Ruyang) to Dengzhou. It is surrounded by tall walls in front and behind, built on the left and right sides of the mountain, and the terrain is steep, and the official road here shrinks extremely narrowly, and at most it looks like seven or eight horses running in parallel.
The cavalry came very quickly, and in an instant they arrived at the bottom of the city of Xiangcheng, and one of them rode out of the column and shouted: "Listen to the people in the city, my general Gao has entered Dengzhou, and you and others hurry up to open the door." ”
Hearing that reinforcements were coming, there was a burst of cheers on the city tower, and Lu Di threw down a long rope and said, "Bring your clearance vouchers, and only after verification can you open the door." ”
The sergeant under the city came back and glanced at his head, Cao Bin, and saw Cao Bin nodding, and the sergeant quickly dismounted, ran to the base of the city wall, and tied the seal of the pass to the rope.
"Brother Xiao, this is their clearance letter."
Brother Xiao glanced at it, pressed his head with his hand, shook his body and said, "Let them get out, what kind of messy seal is this." Is this what our Khitan seal looks like? I still want to get through the tricks.,Let.。。。 Let them get out of here, if not ... Without... I'm in a good mood today, morning... Go down early and hunt them down. ”
Lu Di secretly glanced at Brother Xiao, and the look in his eyes was clearly saying: It's not that you're in a good mood, it's that you're so drunk that you've become a soft-footed shrimp. He turned around and said loudly to the people in the city: "Who are you, this seal is wrong, our general is in a good mood, don't entangle with you, hurry up where you come from, where to go back." ”
Cao Bin smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth and said, "Where is your general, let him come out and speak." He was young, but his voice was very loud, and he came from afar, "Come and speak... Come and speak".
Lu Di glanced at Brother Xiao, the highest military commander of Xiangcheng standing beside him, and asked, "Brother Xiao, they don't leave, they want to talk to you." ”
"What? They're going to drink with me, okay... No, their clearance seal is not right, and they can't be allowed to enter the city. ”
Where is this? Lu Di looked at his boss, he was so drunk that he had to say to the city again: "Our general said that it is wrong to pass the seal letter, you can't enter the city." ”
"What's wrong with this pass seal? Oh... By the way, you may not know that the emperor has already returned to the north, and he left in a hurry, so the seal letter that passed the customs can only be used by our Great Jin. Cao Bin said.
What the? The people on the castle tower were taken aback. His Majesty the Emperor returned to the north. That... So what do we do? Lu Di was a little flustered, and he hurriedly said to Brother Xiao: "Brother Xiao, they... They say that His Majesty the Emperor has returned to the north! “
"North also, what north... Adversity... What did you say? Brother Xiao's body shook, and suddenly he seemed to be much more sober.
"Brother Xiao, they said that the emperor returned to the north, and in a hurry, they didn't get our seal, but used their fuse of the Jin Kingdom." Ludy said.
"You ... Who have you sent ... Brother Xiao said drunkenly and loudly, a gust of wind blew, and his stomach couldn't help but turn up again. He shook his head hard, trying to make himself more conscious.
Cao Bin seemed a little angry under the city, and he broke off: "We are the subordinates of Gao Xing Zhou Gao and the marshal, and we have come to aid Dengzhou. ”
High line week? Brother Xiao thought about it for a long time before he remembered that this Gao Xingzhou was not the younger brother of Gao Xinggui, the commander of the soldiers and horses in Dengzhou? No wonder? No wonder this kid rushed over to help? There are a lot of officials in the Gao family in the Weisheng Festival Embassy Mansion, and this time I'm afraid it's not just to save myself, but also to save my relatives, right?
That Xiao Geyun thought dizzily for a while, and then looked down at the seal letter in his hand, it seemed to be from Da Jin, according to this, this group of people is really reinforcements. So he said to Ludy, "Help me down and open the gates." Let's go to meet this reinforcement, and by the way, ask about Your Majesty's return to the north. "This Brother Xiao is just a centurion, but he has a good relationship with the thorn, a few days ago, he heard from the mouth of the thorn that His Majesty the Emperor has long had the intention of returning north. Our Khitans are still happy on the prairie, but we are really not used to it in the Central Plains.
"Squeak... The gates slowly opened.
Cao Bin took the lead and rushed in. The road here is narrow, and since the Khitans have opened the city gates, they let their thousand brothers enter the city. And then it's not too late to turn around with the Khitans. Thinking of this, he turned over and dismounted, just wanting to ask who was the head here. Before he could say anything, he smelled the smell of wine, and rushed towards him, and a man with a big shoulder and a round waist was holding on to the wall with one hand, pointing to his horse with the other and saying, "Brother, I can hope for you." As he spoke, he staggered over, hugged the horse's head, patted the horse's head, and said, "Dude, the head is quite big." Lu Di, who was standing next to him, hurriedly helped him and said, "Brother Xiao, you admit your mistake, where is the general of the reinforcements here?" ”
Brother Xiao's mung bean eyes rolled, and he glanced at it casually, and there was a ten-year-old young man standing on the left side, looking at him with a smile, he was a little embarrassed, but he said arrogantly: "You are the leader." It's the boss, what's so great? Lao Tzu, I, I still fell in love with this buddy. This is the fate of the two of us cultivated in the previous life. Fate. As he spoke, he patted the horse on the head again. Pat the horse's ass, the horse must be happy, but if you always pat its head, this horse is a little intolerant to corrosion, "whew", the head is lowered, the body is wrong, let this Brother Xiao be thrown into the air, seeing that this Brother Xiao is about to fall to the ground with his teeth and claws, Lu Di hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
Cao Bin was amused in his heart, but he asked, "General, how many of you have to defend this city." ”
Brother Xiao didn't even look at him, but said to Lu Di: "This buddy whistled quite loudly just now. Want to know how many soldiers and horses are guarding the city? I just won't tell you, I'm a centurion, I'm the biggest here, you think. ”
It turned out that there were only 100 people?
Cao Bin saw that five or six hundred brothers had already entered, and these people were waiting for his order. Cao Bin smiled lightly, and suddenly shouted, "Do it." As he spoke, he pulled out the sword at his waist, and slashed diagonally at Brother Xiao. A sword like mercury spilled into the ground, but it was actually split into the air. Cao Bin looked at it intently, it turned out that Lu Di, seeing Cao Bin smiling and suddenly pulling out a knife and slashing at Brother Xiao, he was anxious, his hand was loosened, "pop", that Brother Xiao fell to the ground, and he was able to dodge the sword that Cao Bin slashed obliquely.
"Kill!" At this moment, more than 600 Chu troops suddenly burst out, slashed at the Khitan soldiers around them, and after killing these people, they divided into two groups, one rushed to the north city gate, and the other rushed to the south city gate. There were only about 100 Khitan soldiers defending the city, and they took it down after a while. As for that Brother Xiao, Cao Bin didn't want his life, but just trapped him and prepared to send him to the camp at dawn and hand it over to Li Xiang to see if he could ask something.
Cao Bin, who was instructing the two teams of sergeants to defend the city well on the city tower, couldn't help frowning, and when he looked up, he saw a turning place at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and suddenly a steady stream of cavalry ran out.
Cao Bin raised his eyes to look at the Khitan banner on the city tower, which was still hanging upright. I was a little calmer. He was responsible for the sneak attack on Xiangcheng, but he had never heard the king and Li Xiang say that there were any reinforcements. The team of men and horses in the distance must be the reinforcements of the Khitans. It's really scary to think about it, if it was that drunkard just now, if he talked nonsense for a while, it is estimated that he is now suffering from the enemy. Such a narrow official road is simply self-defeating.
The cavalry came very quickly, and soon arrived at the city, and one of them slapped his horse out of the battle and said in a loud voice: "Listen to the people in the city, my general Gao has entered Dengzhou, and you and others hurry up to open the door." ”
Cao Bin looked at the mountains on both sides, and couldn't help sighing, it's really a matter of time. Due to the narrow contact surface, it is not easy for the enemy to attack, but when you attack the enemy yourself, the attack surface is also very small. If they don't open the city gate, these people will never run under the city gate and line up to be their own live targets. But to open the city gate, I don't know how many soldiers and horses the other party has, in case, they rush in... He hesitated, sighed, and ordered: "Archers prepare, shoot me!" ”
