Chapter 39: The Capture of the City
"How many defenders are there in the city?" Li Mingwei asked with wide eyes.
"Less than a thousand!" Hu Feng was excited, and his clenched fists turned white.
"A godsend! What a godsend! Li Mingwei was overjoyed: "Quick, notify the general flags and come over to discuss the matter." ”
"Yes!"
Li Mingwei's military account.
"I'm sure you've got the information." Li Mingwei said directly: "Don't waste time, let's talk about it, how to fight this battle?" ”
The five general flags below were all very excited, they were originally going out to explore the supply of grain roads, but they didn't expect to accidentally get Pei Chaoqin to lead an army to conquer a small village, and everyone lost their excitement.
"Big brother, we can pretend to be a caravan, take the opportunity to seize the city gate, and then the army suddenly kills, and we will definitely be able to fight down." Wang Li thought for a while and said.
"Well, yes, that's what I thought, too." Li Mingwei said: "What do you think? ”
"Feasible!" Jiang Jiren praised.
"Baihu, let's do it!" Zhao Zhongquan looked at Li Mingwei excitedly and said, but Li Mingwei felt that these people were not looking at themselves, as if they were seeing military merits.
"Yang Qi, what do you think?" Li Mingwei saw that Yang Qi was silent, so he asked, "But what are you worried about?" ”
"Back to the hundred households, the subordinates didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but..." Yang Qi said slowly.
"Just what?" Li Mingwei asked.
"It's just that my subordinates don't understand why a small village fort is worth a town guard general who personally commands more than 5,000 troops to go to the expedition!" Yang Qi expressed the doubts in his heart, and he couldn't understand why this was.
"Since you have no objection, then we will settle this matter." Li Mingwei said.
"Hu Feng, Jiang Jiren!" Li Mingwei shouted, this is a precursor to giving an order.
"In!"
"Order the two of you to disguise yourself as merchants and seize the South Gate!"
"Order!" The two hugged their fists.
"Wang Li, Zhao Zhongquan, Yang Qi, follow my Chinese army! After the city was broken, the various divisions quickly occupied the remaining four city gates! ”
"Yes!"
"Lu Dabao stayed."
"Big brother, I want to go too." Lu Dabao shouted.
"No, we still have a lot of food, grass, and captives here, and we need to keep someone to guard them." Li Mingwei said.
"Okay!" Lu Dabao muttered with a pout.
After assigning the combat mission, everyone got up and prepared to say goodbye and go down to pack up their equipment, because the result of this battle had been expected by everyone, and victory was certain, so the atmosphere was very relaxed.
"Haha, don't worry, I'll definitely bring you a few heads back, count it in you!" Hu Feng joked with a smile.
"Well, yes, I'll kill some more, give it to you!" Wang Li said with a smile, not at all worried about the upcoming war.
"Brother Lu, the responsibility of guarding the rear is greater, our brothers' net worth and lives are all here, and we must not be careless." Yang Qi patted Lu Dabao's shoulder and comforted.
"Well, don't worry, Eun Gong!" Lu Dabao gave Yang Qi a reassuring look.
"You're here again, if there is such a thing in the future, I won't keep quiet." Yang Qi stretched out his finger and said.
"Hey, hey!" Lu Dabao smiled evilly.
"Alright, let's go and prepare." Li Mingwei said: "The distance of eighty miles is not short, and I will camp again tonight!" ”
"Brother Li." Yang Qi said after everyone dispersed: "Can you send another sentry to the direction of Muzhuang?" ”
"Well, it should." Li Mingwei nodded in agreement. In fact, the meaning of the two of them sending sentry agents is not the same at all, Yang Qi wants to find out why Pei Chao will send 5,000 troops to attack Muzhuang, Li Mingwei thinks that Yang Qi is to find out the movement of the enemy army, don't attack Suide here, send troops back to help, and then he will be embarrassed by the enemy on his back.
At the same time when Pei Chao arrived at the periphery of Muzhuang and set up camp, Li Mingwei and his party also rushed to the outside of Suide City, without any accidents, more than 200 people of Chen Xiaoji also followed Li Mingwei's side, he gritted his teeth, until Li Mingwei promised to give him a part of the military merits, this is willing.
Early the next morning, the gate of Suide City opened, and more than 20 carriages dressed by Hu Feng and Jiang Jiren drove over.
"Stop! What for? "The rebels guarding the gate saw them coming.
"Oh, Master Jun, it's early, it's early!" Jiang Jiren stepped forward to greet affectionately, and inadvertently stuffed the scattered silver in his hand into the hand of the inquiring rebel, only to see him slightly check it with his hand, knowing it in his heart, but the process on his mouth still has to go.
"Where is this going?" The rebel asked, and while dropping the broken silver, he put it into his arms.
"The small one is from Mizhi County, and I went to the skin to buy it at the beginning of the year, and I was busy for half a year before I finished it." Jiang Jiren said.
"Rice fat?" The rebel muttered, "Okay, the routine inspection is still required, and you can leave when you're done." After speaking, I saw him wave his hand, and more than a dozen rebels on the left and right stepped forward with spears.
"Do it!" Jiang Jiren quietly walked behind the rebels, pulled out a long dagger from his sleeve and shouted. What are you kidding, there is no goods in here, if you check him, you have to expose the stuffing.
As soon as he made a move, Hu Feng quickly rushed to the city gate with his own people, and the scene quickly became chaotic, and the defenders in the city found the abnormality and rushed down the city wall with a loud roar.
"Whether you can make a contribution or not, right now!" Li Mingwei had been lying on the slope, and when he saw that the city gate was prominently abnormal, he was already ready to fly, so he had to send it and yelled: "Kill!" ”
"Kill!" Chen Xiaoji didn't know the information of Suide at first, and it wasn't until this time that he knew that Li Mingwei's target was actually Suide, and he was about to flee at that time, but there was no less than a bandit den guarded by 10,000 people, just a team of hundreds of people? Storming the city? He didn't do the work of sending him to death, the military merit was given to him, and he would not agree, and then he heard that the defenders in the city were less than 1,000, and they were still prepared and unprepared, and the military merit was already ensured, so it was natural to roll up his sleeves and work hard.
"Kill!" Yang Qi also moved forward bravely, but he was not greedy for military merits, but if the reinforcements were late and the control of the city gate was not obtained, then the arrangements for the past two days would be in vain.
Five miles, although it is not far, but at this time the race against time, but it seems to be extremely long, Hu Feng is full of more than 100 people, which is the same as the number of defenders guarding the city gate, who wins and who loses for a time is really five or five.
"Kill!" The defenders of the city had already rushed down from the towers.
Hu Feng also led people to the city gate cave at this time, and dozens of people on both sides stared at each other with blood-red eyes.
"Brothers, the time has come to make a difference! Rush! Hu Feng raised his knife with one hand and roared, and took the lead in the charge.
"Give it all to me, hold on!" The general of the gatekeeper roared angrily: "Fight to the death and do not retreat, and those who retreat without permission will be killed!" ”
