Chapter 102: Rescuing the Hostages
The city walls of Jingzhou City reached Sanzhang. Due to the frequent disturbance of the Turkic attacks, the city wall has been heightened and thickened again and again, and up to now, it is three zhang high.
At this time, the defenders in Jingzhou City were full of 3,000 people. There were three commanders who led the troops, and all three of them were the original guards in Jingzhou City. However, the families of the three were all controlled by Luo Yi's own soldiers, so they had to defend the city for Luo Yi
When Zhang Yunwen and other 20 people came to the outside of Jingzhou City, Jingzhou City had completely entered a state of alert, the city gate was closed, and the soldiers patrolled back and forth at the head of the city.
Looking at this strict arrangement, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but say secretly, is he going to sneak in quietly this time?
However, at this time, the city gate was opened, and two teams of scout knights roared out, galloping away in different directions.
Zhang Yunwen looked at the soldiers, and immediately smiled "hehe", pointed to the Mercedes-Benz soldiers and said, "Brothers, do you know what to do when you see those scouts?" ”
The soldiers also smiled with "hehe", knowing what Zhang Yunwen meant.
So Wu Peng and Zhang Yunwen each led a team and chased in the direction of the two teams of scouts.
Zhang Yunwen stood on a mountain ridge with ten people, looked at the direction of the scout's movement, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Is your net finished?" ”
Beside him, ten soldiers were weaving a net from vines and twigs. Hearing Zhang Yunwen ask, a soldier suddenly said: "Head, why are we weaving, why don't you move?" ”
Zhang Yunwen smiled at the soldier and showed his snow-white front teeth: "Hehe, who called me your leader!" ”
Seeing that this net was big enough, Zhang Yunwen said, "Okay, let's go!" ”
He led his soldiers to the edge of a woodland, and let a few soldiers climb the trees with nets, while he took the others to hide in the woods. At the top of the mountain just now, Zhang Yunwen observed that these scouts were exploring along a fixed road, and after a look, he saw the course of action of the scouts, so he ambushed here in advance.
It wasn't long before the rumbling of horses' hooves could be heard. More than a dozen fast horse scouts are coming this way quickly.
As soon as he arrived, suddenly a large net fell from the sky, covering several people in front of the horse team. The scout behind hurriedly stopped his horse and drew his horizontal knife.
At this time, only a string sounded, and a crossbow arrow "swished" and nailed to the trunk of a tree beside the road. The scouts were shocked to find several soldiers armed with steel crossbows in the woods and in the trees.
Zhang Yunwen calmly put a crossbow arrow on the steel crossbow, and then said to those scouts: "If it weren't for the benevolence of His Majesty the Emperor and the non-letting of me wait for the big killing, you would have become a dead soul under the arrow at this moment!" ”
Then, the scout battalion soldiers stripped off the clothes of these scouts, put them on their bodies, and then said to the scouts: "You stay outside here for two days, the imperial army is about to be killed under the leadership of Wei Chigong, it is better to wait for the rebellion to be put down before returning to Jingzhou!" ”
After speaking, he rode the horses of these scouts and galloped in the direction of Jingzhou City.
The rest of the scouts in their underwear shivered in the February wind.
"What to do? Are you really waiting here? One of the scouts asked.
One of the scouts who seemed to be in the lead said, "Why don't we go south!" Didn't the general just now say that General Wei Chi was here? General Wei Chi must have fought with General Luo! Let's go south, maybe we can meet General Wei Chi! But I still went to the farmer's house to ask for some clothes first, the weather was too cold! ”
Another scout said with some hesitation: "Can General Wei Chi beat General Luo?" ”
"Of course!" The leader said firmly, "Last year, General Wei Chi came to Jingzhou to fight the Turks, and he was able to kill back and forth in an army of 100,000, and that kind of bravery is not beyond the reach of ordinary people!" ”
"Why don't we go back to Jingzhou?"
"Damn, don't drag Lao Tzu if you want to die!" The leader cursed and began to walk south.
Zhang Yunwen didn't know anything about these things. At this moment, he was calmly opening the city gate and walking towards the city.
After entering Jingzhou City, Zhang Yunwen and others turned over and dismounted, arrived at a secluded place, took off their clothes, and became an ordinary person in Jingzhou City.
As before, he first scattered to various places in Jingzhou City to listen to the news, and then Zhang Yunwen pointed to a thick locust tree: "Gather there at night!" ”
The soldiers nodded, and each casually walked in other directions. Either alone or in a group of threes.
Zhang Yunwen came to the bottom of the locust tree, and saw that there was no one around, so he carved a strange-shaped symbol and a few numbers on the locust tree.
After doing this, Zhang Yunwen also tightened his clothes, put his hands in his sleeves, and walked slowly along the road with a cower.
Soon, night covered the land.
After dodging a group of patrolling soldiers, Zhang Yunwen ran under the locust tree. However, when they arrived at the foot of the locust tree, they did not see a human figure. Just as he was in doubt, he suddenly heard a soft shout from his head: "Boss, come up!" ”
Zhang Yunwen looked up and saw a figure on the treetops, and he didn't know how many soldiers had gathered on it.
Climbed up the locust tree in three or two times, and asked softly, "How many people are there now?" How's the investigation going? ”
One of the soldiers said, "Well, there are still three people left!" As for the situation of the probing, it can be said that it is very bad! ”
Zhang Yunwen was stunned for a moment, couldn't these soldiers find out some of the situation?
The soldier continued: "We communicated just now, except for one brother who was lucky enough to bump into the office of the three commanders, the rest of us don't even know where Luo Yi's relatives live!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier shouted softly in the dark: "Who do you say is going to be shitty? Lao Tzu found it after observing and tracking again and again! You're jealous of my accomplishments! ”
Zhang Yunwen coughed lightly, and the soldier who was about to ridicule him was suddenly silenced.
At this time, three more figures came under the tree.
Zhang Yunwen gently broke a dead branch and threw it on their heads.
As soon as the three of them came up, they said to Zhang Yunwen: "Boss, a major discovery!" You're going to have to give us a credit! ”
Zhang Yunwen immediately said: "Don't talk nonsense, say it quickly!" Liu Cheng, come on! ”
Liu Cheng said with a smile: "Today, when we were wandering, we found a small courtyard, and there were more than ten healthy soldiers guarding it, and we guessed that this was the place where Luo Yi detained the relatives of the generals of Jingzhou City!" ”
Zhang Yunwen suddenly smiled: "Good job!" If we rescue the relatives of those generals, and then send people to explain to those generals, move them with affection, understand them with reason, and force them to threaten, won't those generals help us in turn? ”
When Liu Cheng heard this, he immediately nodded.
Zhang Yunwen glanced at the soldiers around him and said in a low voice: "Okay! This is called Operation 'Hostage Rescue'! ”
The scout battalion guards glanced at each other, and a thought could not help but flood their minds at the same time: how could this name be so strange!
