Chapter 186: Opening the Altar Ten Miles of Incense 4
Xiao Gan looked at the guards on the wall, who were still struggling to fight back, and couldn't help but be a little angry, no matter what, he would never allow him to return in vain, he was a dignified privy councillor of the Northern Yuan, and the capital of Nanjing, he must not go down the mountain like his subordinates!
Xiao Gan's subordinate generals naturally knew King Xiao's plans, and Xiao Gan watched the battle with a cold face, no one dared to retreat, and the arrows in his hands kept shooting, but fortunately, Xiao Gan was not in a hurry to urge to attack the wall.
After half a day, the arrows that hit back on the walled wall were obviously sparse, and the Liao soldiers under the walled wall were overjoyed, and they did not wait for the general's order, they took out their round shields and rushed towards the moat.
"Uh......h Woo...... Woo......" There was a long and loud sound of trumpets from the stockade. Xiao Gan sat up straight and listened attentively, but there was no movement.
"Attack!" Xiao Gan suddenly felt bad, although he didn't know what this horn sound was for, but he also knew that it was related to the current attack on the cottage. Now we are about to start attacking the wall, but don't go wrong, the two leaders of this village are said to be scheming, and they have a sharp weapon to defend the city, and it is embarrassing to make themselves disgraced.
Under the command of Xiao Gan, the Liao soldiers rushed to kill more violently, and the Liao soldiers at this time had already flowed across the Zhai River, running wet to the wall, followed by the Liao soldiers who rushed over with a long ladder and followed. The Liao soldiers who were shooting arrows in the back had also stopped shooting, for fear of accidentally injuring the Liao soldiers attacking the village in front.
Originally, he was still holding a round shield and preparing to protect his Liao soldiers, but at this time he suddenly felt that something was wrong. There was no one shooting arrows down the wall for a while, and when I looked up, I couldn't see the guns, knives, and other blades sticking out of the wall. These Liao soldiers tentatively climbed up along the long ladder set up on the edge of the wall, and approached the battlements of the wall, but there was still no movement in the wall. There were bold and anxious Liao soldiers who climbed into the wall from the long ladder three times and two times, and the expected fight did not happen, and the entire wall was empty, except for a few corpses, lying motionless on the ground. Not a single arrow had been left for a long time, nor was there any water in the cauldron of boiling water, and not even a single piece of wood was left from the fire under the pot, which had been thrown at them from the wall not long ago.
Immediately after that, more Liao soldiers went up to the wall, and some people quickly went down from the inside of the wall to open the heavy gate, and some people let go of the noose and put down the drawbridge, so that people who had not crossed the river could enter the cottage from the bridge. There were also a few Liao soldiers who ran east along the wall, so as to open the side door in the southeast corner, so that the Liao soldiers who were surrounded there could directly enter the cottage.
Suddenly, one of the sharp-eyed Liao soldiers shouted, "The thief has run to the east!" ”
The rest of the Liao soldiers looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, they saw a group of people moving on the easternmost hill of the cottage, which was too far away to see real, but since it was in this cottage, it must be a thief.
The Liao soldiers, who were the first to find out, hurriedly ran down and reported to the army.
At this time, Xiao Gan had already rode into the cottage from the south side of the Huzhai River, the wall of the cottage was strong and tall, and the three-fold gate of the cottage made him secretly surprised, and although the people guarding the village were mixed, but the tactics were orderly and brave, and he was deeply impressed, there were only a few hundred and ten people, if there were tens of thousands of such elite soldiers, it would be precarious to take Yanjing City.
He also noticed when the soldiers attacked, among the guards on the wall, some of them were ordinary people's clothing, and the other part was the clothing of the Southern Dynasty soldiers. Not far from the walled wall and the walled gate, there is a wide and smooth drill field, and there are houses next to it, it seems that this is the place where these anti-thieves usually accumulate and practice.
Xiao Gan was thinking about it himself, and a soldier came over and reported to him: "Great King, when the little one passed the gate of the village to the east just now, he saw that the thieves in the village had fled to the mountains to the east. ”
Xiao Gan was unmoved, but ordered the soldier to lead the way and lead a team of men and horses to search, and the rest of the people and horses went to the village to bring the people in the village here, and the rest of the people destroyed all the gates and walls of the village.
His soldiers and horses scattered out in all directions, went to the village, drove the people in the village out, and went to this drill to be dealt with by Xiao Gan. Another group of men and horses followed the messenger straight to the eastern hillside.
Xiao Gan had already planned it, and after the people in the village rushed over, he escorted all these people away, the men were sold to the north as slaves, the women were distributed to their subordinates as slaves, and the craftsmen were handed over to Concubine De Niangniang, who was at her disposal, and finally burned the village so that it would never be troubled!
Strangely, the people sent out soon came back one after another, and they didn't go away as Xiao Gan imagined, driving away groups of people who were crying in fear. The leader of the team came over and replied: "King, we have turned around quickly, there is no one in this village, there is a school and a mountain temple on the northwest mountain, it seems to be newly built, and there is not even a single figure in sight." "The other generals said the same, the chickens and sheep raised by each family are there, but there is no one to be seen.
Xiao Gan was silent, it seems that the people in this village know how to advance and retreat, and they know that they can't resist the officers and soldiers, so they transferred the people away early - such a knowledgeable, knowledgeable leader, who can fight and fight, should be the two people surnamed Gao and Zhou, who went to Yanjing to sell wine, make trouble in Yanjing, and rescued the princess, right? Xiao Gan took people into the mountains to encircle and suppress Sanssouci Village, and it was also a matter of bothering to investigate, knowing that the leaders were two young men, one surnamed Gao and the other surnamed Zhou, in addition, there was nothing special in this cottage.
Since it is these two young people who have brought people to fight with him for a long time, then the princess of Shu who they just rescued may have no way out, although they came to hide in the cottage. If he can bring the princess of Shu back, and he is mixed with the thief, Xiao Gan doesn't mind interrogating the princess Yinxin, and doing this himself is also to prevent the princess Yinxin from being deceived by the southerners.
Thinking that his subordinates had just reported that the anti-thieves had run into the mountains to the east, Xiao Gan ordered: "Follow me to the east to search for the anti-thieves!" Then he mounted his horse and headed to the east of the stockade. The surrounding generals also hurriedly took their men and chased eastward.
When he was about to reach the east of the mountains and forests, a Liao soldier ran over, stopped Xiao Gan's horse, and reported loudly: "The king, the small ones found a jar of wine at the entrance of the mountains and forests in front, and there was a letter to the king, and they didn't dare to open it, and the small ones came to report to the king." ”
Xiao Gan sneered, a group of mountain and wild village husbands still have to do these false things, learn to do things in drama and literature, and pretend to leave books and give him wine, it's really ridiculous!
"Lead the way, wait for me to see!" Xiao Gan ordered.
