Chapter 348: Whose Hand Is the Deer Dead?
The paper always can't contain the fire, and the bad news of Li Huaitang's death blew all over the city like the wind with the arrival of the Tang army. Su Zizi was so crying that she fainted on the spot.
It was Zhang Shousi who deliberately spread the news, and only by psychologically destroying the hope of the soldiers and civilians in Ningyuan City could they accept new reliance. As soon as he arrived at the city of Ningyuan City, the cunning Zhang Shousi did not rush into the city, but chose to patiently confront the defenders in the city, using Ye Ji's identity and pregnancy to surrender without a fight, and in just ten days, all the generals of Ningyuan City were captured. Zhang Shousi's soldiers took Ningyuan City bloodlessly.
Ningyuan City brought an indescribable shock to Zhang Shousi, he couldn't imagine how Li Huaitang could build such a magnificent town in a foreign land full of Hu people's forces, how he built such a powerful army, how he gathered so many people, and how he made Ningyuan City so prosperous. Admiration is admiration, his heart always belongs to Datang, he is only loyal to Datang, and everything he does is naturally inclined to Datang.
After entering the city, Zhang Shousi immediately controlled the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry, occupied the four city 'gates', and at the same time surrounded the general's mansion, and posted a notice, announcing that Ningyuan City was taken over by the Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Shousi, the governor of Ningyuan appointed by the Tang Emperor, led them to fight against Qianghu.
Zhang Shousi was very confident that he had only brought a total of 5,000 people, except for leaving 1,000 people to guard Huangshi to continue to supervise the construction of the fortress, and only 4,000 people had arrived in Ningyuan City. However, he thinks that it is enough, as long as he controls Mrs. Ye Ji and the generals of Ning Yuan City, no matter how many people Ning Yuan Iron Cavalry has, it is just a straggler who has lost the head of the snake, and with the ability to govern the army and the supervision of the soldiers under his command, it is not difficult to recruit them to serve the Tang Dynasty.
Indeed, as time passed, Ning Yuancheng gradually returned to calm, and everything was quietly going on, and there was no difference at all from before. Ningyuan City is gradually falling!
With Ningyuan City under control, there was optimism among the Tang army, and the deputy general Du Hope went to Zhang Shousi's camp tent and suggested: "Dudu, those generals may become hidden dangers in the future, why don't you dispose of them immediately." Also, we had better send Li Huaitang's widows back to Chang'an, I heard that several of his wives are like immortals, maybe the Holy Church will ......"
"No!" Zhang Shousi shook his head and said, "We don't know how many undercurrents there are under the calm surface of Ningyuan City, at this time, we should not act rashly so as not to 'provoke' the people's uprising, after all, Li Huaitang still has a lot of weight in their hearts." Wait, in a little while, when the migrants arrive, we will consult with Qi 'Shi'lang'. If we can, we will try not to kill them, and even if we want to kill them, we will not kill until after defeating the Turgish. ”
"But, Dudu," Du Hope continued, "the cavalryman we caught a few days ago who returned to Ningyuan City is very suspicious, and no matter how hard we torture him, he will remain silent. I suspect there must be something wrong with him, and he may have come back with some important news. ”
Zhang Shousi nodded and said, "Just take care of the 'gate' of the city, as long as Mrs. Ye Ji is in our hands, the city will not be able to turn the sky upside down." You remember not to be 'aggressive', time is in our favor, winter will come in a few months, and surviving the winter will be a great achievement! The heroes who have opened up the territory and expanded the territory, maybe the treatment of Lingyan Pavilion will be reduced to our heads. ”
Just as Zhang Shousi was talking to Du Hope, a horse escaped the pursuit of the Huangshi Tang Army and rushed into the Alai Mountain Pass......
Shang Ren was frightened, frantically plotting his mount, recalling the envious scene just now, he had palpitations, he didn't know when the Tang army occupied the key road here, and almost caught him, causing him to swallow the note that Shang Bafang 'handed over' to him.
"Oops!" Shang Ren exclaimed in surprise, suddenly fell off his horse, and a large net pocket entangled him. Several swiftly moving figures appeared quickly beside Shang Ren's voice, and then a sharp scimitar lay across his neck. Shang Ren was pressed to the ground, and he could feel his hands and feet being tied.
"General Lee!" Shang Ren was pleasantly surprised to find that the person who threatened him with a knife was none other than his acquaintance Li Zhongxin.
"Huh? Shang Ren? Li Zhongxin also recognized the person, the three instructors had returned to Tocharo to contact the old department, and Li Zhongxin and Tu Buyeo temporarily became the leaders of the wolf fangs.
"Why are you here?" Li Zhong looked at Shang Ren suspiciously.
"Let go of me, I have something important to ......"
Ningyuan City under the night was majestic, and several black shadows quickly and silently approached the corner. The shadows made several gestures to each other, and one of them took out a special small crossbow, wound it into the arrow, and pulled the trigger decisively in the direction of the city. A light flying grab flew up to the head of the city with the arrow, accurately hooking the recess of the 'female' wall.
A few dark shadows under the city walls followed the ropes and quickly climbed up the city, and soon disappeared into the city.
Ningyuan City was still under martial law, but this was difficult for Li Zhongxin and Tu Bulie, with their familiarity with the terrain, they quietly came to the General's Mansion, and effortlessly evaded the Tang Army guards and climbed into the wall.
"Found the Admiral!" Su Xiaoniang was so excited that she almost fainted, and staggered into Liu Shangyue's arms. The news that Li Zhongxin brought to her made her fragile heart run wildly.
Li Zhongxin said: "Yes, the two young ladies of the merchant, as well as the shopkeeper of the merchant, have seen the general. A few days ago, we met the Iron Bull outside the city who had rushed back to report the news, and he had brought back the general's bloody horse and saber. ”
"What?" Su Xiaoniang, Liu Shangyue, and 'Bo' Sishan screamed at the same time. Obviously, Tie Niu was intercepted by the Tang Army.
After confirming that Li Huaitang was still alive, Su Zizi was surprised and delighted: "Li Lang, Li Lang is still alive, great, this villain...... Ahem, then why didn't he come back? Where is he? ”
"This, this," Li Zhongxin hesitated slightly, "The news from the merchant is that the general is in the team of Princess Broken Leaf, and he should have gone to Broken Leaf Town. ”
"What? Li Lang he, he actually left us alone and followed his new love to break leaves? Su Zizi's vitality that had just recovered was instantly suppressed by sadness.
Li Zhongxin said: "Madam, I think there must be a reason for this. The most important thing at the moment is to find the general first, I discussed it with Tu Buye, and later I will take half of the wolf fangs to Broken Leaf Town, and the remaining half of the wolf fangs will be led by Tu Buyeo to secretly protect Madame. If you can, try to find a way to rescue General Hudu, as long as the general is still alive, Mrs. Ye Ji is no longer their bargaining chip, and we don't need to throw a rat trap. ”
"Well, good. You all go, the safety of the general is important, don't worry about us, we will be fine here. "Liu Shangyue finally 'interjected'. These days, she is no more relaxed than Su Zizi, and her face is terrifyingly thin and pointed.
Tu Bulie said: "Madam, don't worry, Li Zhongxin will go to the outpost first, and we will wait for the crows to come back before leaving." ”
After some discussion, Li Zhongxin and Tu Bulie left the General's Mansion and went to carry out their own mission. Tu Buyeo had to go and rescue Tie Niu and the generals first, and before that, he needed to contact a dark force. There is another force in Ningyuan City that Zhang Shousi didn't realize, and that is "with the wind"!
Jingshan and his boss "Cat" have been very anxious and helpless these days, it is said that the general was killed, and their head Wu 'Meng' was placed under house arrest by the Tang Army, they were at a loss for a while, and discussed for many days without any result. Just as they were coming to their senses, Tu Buyeol suddenly appeared in front of them and brought great news.
The news that the general is still alive is like a booster, injecting abundant energy into all the cat members, and the 'gloom' haze accumulated for days has been swept away.
"Say, General Tu, how do you want us to cooperate?" The cat is unusually excited. Without Li Huaitang, he is nothing, if he is a bird, then Li Huaitang is a towering tree, giving him the space and conditions to build a nest, so that he can live well and play his own strengths, he is very satisfied with this kind of life that is appreciated and reused, and respected.
Tu Bulie said: "I want to know where General Hudu is being held, as well as the whereabouts of Tie Niu." ”
"No problem!" The cat and Jingshan glanced at each other, full of confidence.
Without diamonds, I would never dare to work on porcelain. Suifeng's specialty is pervasive, and on his own land, Jingshan didn't have much effort to find the whereabouts of Tie Niu, and by the way, he also 'got' the news of where Hudu and others were being held. The only pity is that Mrs. Ye Ji is under the care of the people and cannot be approached by the wind.
Ningyuan City was too big, and the four thousand Tang troops were scattered, and it seemed that the strength was a little thin. They not only have to guard the four city gates, but also surround the general's mansion, which occupies a large area, and they need manpower more to guard and protect the iron ox, and Zhang Shousi is strict in handling things, and even the men who are ready to eat and drink have to send people to supervise closely.
To be perfect, it will inevitably lead to flaws, and there will always be problems in one of the ten places. Jingshan found a leaky 'hole', in fact, he was lucky, one of the men assigned by Zhang Shousi was the same as Jingshan, the original identity was a member of the Wucai Army, and he retired to Suifeng due to injury, Tang Jun saw that he was disabled, and he was particularly contemptuous of his use.
In the middle of the night, outside the 'gate' of Ningyuan City on the side of the General's Mansion, three cat meows broke the sound of insects chirping one after another. After two or three breaths, the inner wall of the ya'men responded to two cat meows.
More than a dozen black shadows outside the wall nodded to each other, and one person climbed over the human wall, and then the rest of the black shadows also crossed the wall.
"How? Are you all asleep? It was Tu Buyeol's voice.
"Hmmm! All hit! Inside the wall was a man without a left arm, his apparent identity was a man, usually unknown and unnoticeable, but at this moment, with a proud face, he confidently gave Tu Buyeol a response.
It hardly took much effort, and Jingshan's drunken sheep powder entered the stomachs of more than 300 guards along with the meal. Jingshan was very alert, he didn't give much 'medicine', and the timing of the 'medicine' was very appropriate and accurate, so that these Tang soldiers who were guarding were 'confused' and 'dazed' and fell asleep in the second half of the night.
Tu Bulie said: "Mu Zi took your three-person gang to control the exit and be responsible for answering, the big-eyed crossbow and arrow gang were on guard, and the crazy knife took your people to prevent the Tang army from sleeping and dying." The rest of the people, wait, come with me to save people! ”
Prudence and meticulousness in action is a good habit of wolf fangs, and even if victory is within reach, it is not allowed to get carried away.
In the dungeon, Tu Buyeol saw Gongsun father and son, Heizi, Huzi, Bai Xiaode and other generals, and Tie Niu was also inside, but he was beaten and bruised and imprisoned alone in another cell.
The news that the general was still alive stabbed everyone's nerves, and the generals could tell that the news was not fake, it was not a white lie made up to boost the morale of the army and maintain the hearts of the people, the sweat and blood horses brought back by the iron bull and the general's saber gave them confidence, and the fact that the general was not killed was confirmed by two different sources.
"Good!" Wu 'Meng' arranged his plan excitedly and confidently: "We will immediately split up, Wei Anguo will take people to control the four city 'gates', and Hudu and Yaowu will be in charge of the two military camps, and bring the soldiers back!" General Kuroko and I went to save Lady Zizi and ......"
Zhang Shousi knew that the news of the rebellion of the generals in Ningyuan City was in the morning, he was stunned on the spot, the rebellion was huge, almost a call, and the tens of thousands of Ningyuan iron cavalry under his strict control collapsed in an instant and threw themselves into the other party's camp, and by the way, the soldiers he brought were solved, and now, in addition to hundreds of personal guards and Mrs. Ye Ji, who was under house arrest by him, he became a loner and an island in Ningyuan City.
"What? Li Huaitang is back? Finished! "The report of the guards shook the calmness of Mount Tai collapsed in front of him after years of experience and the 'color' remained unchanged, Zhang Shousi's voice was obviously trembling, he knew that as long as Li Huaitang came back, then his efforts and achievements were destined to be in vain, and no one could stop him from taking the city.
In front of the 'gate' of the General's Mansion, Liu Shangyue and 'Bo' Sishan stood on both sides of Su Zizi, and Lady Zizi rode on Li Huaitang's mount, her delicate arm resolutely holding Li Huaitang's war knife, and countless Ningyuan iron cavalry soldiers gathered around her, and the black pressure was impassable. The soldiers were silent, listening to the trembling accounts of the crow and the two Hu merchants, as well as the accounts of Shang Ren, they all confirmed that the general was still alive and did not die in the flood, and the war horse and war knife were the best proof. Hu Shang also confirmed that the general followed the honor guard of Princess Broken Leaves, and the general was planning a mysterious plan, as for the specific content, it is inconvenient to say clearly, this is the general's intention, and let the crow bring his token back, and let the soldiers and civilians of Ningyuan City obey the orders of Lady Zizi and obey the orders of the 'female' king of Bahan.
For the simple soldiers and civilians of Ningyuan City, it was enough to hear the news that the people above told them that the general was alive, and they would not doubt it at all, which time did the general not lead them to a brilliant victory? This time is no exception!
Seeing that the time was ripe, Kuroko raised his arms and shouted: "The general is mighty, the general is invincible!" ”
Hundreds of Tang soldiers were knocked to the ground and tied up, and they all kicked their eyes and watched in disbelief at the frenzy of thousands of soldiers in front of them.
"The general is mighty, the general is invincible!"
