Chapter 132: A Hundred Responses

Luo Zhao got up his horse and ran all the way to the west of the Danhe River, and saw that the people behind him were following one after another, and asked his subordinates in shock, "Do you see the pursuers?" ”

The two people who had been sent by Luo Zhao to the river to carry out the enemy's plan to attack the enemy were panting and followed, "No...... No one chased. When Luo Zhao saw these two people, he thought that maybe it was because he had done something too much, maybe these two people had exposed their flaws. He felt a burst of regret in his heart, and blurted out a reprimand, "Look at it and talk again!" ”

Luo Zhao said to several leaders under him, "If I hadn't made a quick decision, you would have your life today." Everyone said yes again and again, and another henchman knew that the prime minister was carrying his face to the top of the gold, so he suggested, "The art of war is the most expensive and unruly to follow, and they will never think that we will kill us again." ”

Luo Zhao sighed, "There is a way to know the other...... We don't even know where they are, so where are you going to kill them this time? The man leaned in and asked, "I know the Prime Minister must have a plan in mind." Luo Zhaoxin said, "I know you're a sycophant, I don't know what the plan is, but you say I know!" ”

But he didn't say anything, and muttered, "It turns out that there are always two or three thousand men and horses under my command, and there should be a lot of stranded in the city this time." You say, if it weren't for the people of Xizhou forcibly suppressing it, how could they not come out to join the Benxiang? From this one thing alone, the present phase draws two conclusions. ”

The crowd was busy asking why. Luo Zhao pouted and said, one, if I can suppress my small two thousand people and can't get out of the city, then the military strength of Xizhou will definitely not be less than two thousand, there is a way to encircle it with ten and attack it with three, and it is estimated that their strength in the city will not be less than three thousand people. Second, have the people of Xizhou ever closed the city gate once in the middle of the night? Such a reassuring boldness, and even destroyed the rope of the drawbridge and the bolt of the city gate, making it clear that they are not afraid of us entering the city, so how many ambushes will they put outside the city to be so bold?

The henchman asked, "Prime Minister, it makes sense." When we enter the city, we will definitely close the gates and guard them, don't they just don't want us to defend them? ”

Luo Zhao was shocked when he heard this, and asked the two spies who were going to the Danhe River, "You two are at the south gate of Yanqi City, have you ever noticed the ropes on the suspension bridge at the beginning?" ”

One of them pondered, "I didn't look closely at the time, but I can't see the bright moon and the earth where the ropes are broken." ”

"These two men listened to the words of your river. It was broken when I went back. You two idiots! I actually missed a good book of my play! ”

The henchman asked, "Could it be that the prime minister shouted at the gate, this time is really the empty city plan they have set up?" ”

When Luo Zhao heard this, he blurted out the "empty city plan", but he was afraid of the ambush soldiers outside the city, so he panicked and only thought about escaping.

Looking at it now, the soldiers and horses in Xizhou are the ones they have calculated, and they can't survive 3,000 people. Then if the other party puts people outside the city, there will be no one in the city. But the fact that those people in the city were watched to the death can only mean that the other party is in the city, and there is no one outside the city.

He wondered if he hadn't had so many eyes at the time. Rushing in regardless of the recklessness will surely make a big gain. But if you rush over now, I'm afraid that people have already taken precautions, and they haven't thrown themselves into the net?

Thinking of this, he commanded. "Send two groups of clever people to surround the city and probe outside the city first, looking for an opportunity to get into the city. Be sure to figure out what he is doing! "Someone will go down and arrange it right away.

At night, Luo Zhao and these people had nowhere to go, so they spent the night in the woods of Hexi, and when the situation was discovered, they would make plans at dawn.

Gao Jun lay on the bed for half a night, and he was always not very relieved. Now that the other party has shown his head, the peace of these days will be broken. He can't take Fan Ying and the others back to see Uncle Guo so gloomy, sometimes people have to fight for face. Thinking of this, Master Gao got up gently, saw that Fan Ying was still asleep, and did not disturb her, came out and locked the door from the outside, and quietly came out with a knife.

He went to the south gate first, and saw the messy horseshoe prints in the open space outside the city gate, and there seemed to be specks of black blood on the ground, and it seemed that a quietly approaching danger had quietly disappeared.

He turned back and came back to the north wall, where a shepherd wanted to come down to look for him. "Master Gao, I caught a spy!"

The task that Lord Gao instructed the two outside the northern city wall to be to take care of these people's horses. The shepherds of the two shepherds had eaten as usual, fed the horses, and hid in their huts in the woods to rest.

In the middle of the night, a pebble was thrown on the roof of the shack, and another long bird chirped. These shepherds have been protecting the shepherds for a long time, and they have long had a set of secret contact methods with each other, knowing that a stranger is coming.

The two of them crept up, and one of them quickly climbed to a tree and looked into the distance, and the north of the city was where the moon could not shine, and nothing could be seen in the shadow of the tall city wall.

At this time, two bird calls came from the city again, as if they were fighting for nests. Following the guidance of the city, the shepherd who was climbing on the tree found a black shadow sticking to the root of the city wall.

This is a spy sent by Luo Zhao, he doesn't want to be busy in the middle of the night, knowing that there is no city gate in the north of the city but a forest, he plans to quietly find a place to sleep, and he makes up a reason to prevaricate at dawn.

happened to come here, and a lasso flew out of nowhere, and tightened it firmly with half of the neck and shoulders, and was pulled to the ground by a strong force. The man was so frightened that he screamed and got up and struggled. The one in the tree flew down and threw him to the ground. A knife pressed against the neck, "If you flutter like a chicken, I'll let you bleed!" ”

When Master Gao saw this person, he had already been dragged to the head of the city, tied up with flowers, and was still begging for mercy. The tall man was happy, and he drew his oolong knife and walked towards him, and the man said, "My parents are in the city, just to see him one last time." The tall man's knife had already pulled on the rope that bound him, freeing him, "Go, come back after you have seen it." ”

Seeing this man disappear into the street, a shepherd asked, "My lord, I'm not afraid that he will report the news." ”

Mr. Gao said, "What news do we have that will be worth more than his parents?" Besides, what did he go out to say? Say there are no Tang soldiers in the city? I guess I don't need to say it, Luo Zhao already knows. ”

After a while, an old couple pulled the man back the same way, counting as they went, "Who is Luozhao, have you ever carried rice and firewood for me?" If you are obsessed again, let Master Gao beat you to death! The man came to the tall man and said, "Villain Du You." These two are the parents of the villain, and now they don't go back, they just want to guard the city with the tall adults, and the adults outside the city take care of the situation, and the villain will never hide what he knows. ”

Fan Ying slept soundly, and was woken up by Lord Gao, "Follow me to meet the enemy." Fan Ying got up suddenly, saw that there was a slight bright color outside the window, rubbed her eyes and said, "Where is the enemy?" ”

She took her sword and was about to go out. Master Gao smiled, "You have to freshen up and stop." Fan Ying wondered, she was not in a hurry when she saw him, thinking that she was teasing herself, how could she have heard a shout of killing outside?

Master Gao didn't seem to be in a hurry, smiled and watched his beloved freshen up, and finally held her face and looked at her carefully for a while, and reached out to wipe her eyebrows. When she was cleaned up, the two came out. Fan Ying looked at the north city wall, and the shepherds couldn't see it, so she felt that it was a little different from usual.

The four spies sent out by Luo Zhao all came back in a lot, when Luo Zhao asked about the situation in the city. A person who went to the south of Yanqi City to inquire said, "How can there be a shadow of an ambush soldier!" ”

The three people who went to the city said three things, only Du You said that there was a nose and an eye: there was not a single Xizhou soldier in the city, only twenty shepherds who herded horses and a shepherd with a wife. The east gate is intact and unguarded. The south and west gates were each guarded by ten shepherds, and the people on the west gate were busy closing the city and lifting the drawbridge.

Luo Zhaoxin said, "I see that your empty city plan can't go on anymore." Can you close the West City, where can you temporarily find a suitable deadbolt in the South City? It's really self-inflicted! He had already made enough of the people in the city, and said loudly to his opponent at that time, "The opportunity is rare, the situation in the city has always been suspicious to me, you will rush in with me, Yanqi City is at your fingertips!" ”

Encouraged by this, these people mounted their horses and carried their weapons, and rushed out of the woods on the west side of the Danhe River with shouts, all of them scrambling for fear of running to the rear. They flashed through the west gate of Yanqi City, and saw that the city gate had been closed, and the suspension bridge was also being pulled up to the halfway point, and the city head was planted with the "banner of Liu Zhongmu in the Tang Dynasty".

Luo Zhao did not stop in Xicheng, and took these men and horses straight to the south gate. From a distance, I saw a few people struggling to push the heavy gate through the opening of the city gate to close it, and one had already been pushed, and the other was only pushed to the remaining gap that could be squeezed sideways. At this time, the people inside the gate were loudly urging the four or five people on the drawbridge outside the city, who were holding firewood knives and machetes in their hands, desperately destroying the drawbridge that could no longer be pulled.

Luo Zhao's heart has already risen to his throat, his eight or nine hundred people do not have the equipment to attack the city, and it will take a lot of trouble when he closes the city. Luo Zhao sneered in his heart, "How can the horses know how to defend the city, it's hard for them, and they can still pretend to put up the empty city plan for more than ten days to hide it from me for so long." He immediately raised the knife in his hand and shouted, "Rush in, break up these people, and protect the drawbridge!" ”

When the shepherds who cut the bridge saw the enemy rushing in, they threw the firewood knives in their hands on the bridge, turned around and ran towards the city, and squeezed into the gate, and the other gate was slowly pushed shut. Luo Zhao didn't care about the order, and took the lead in rushing across the suspension bridge.

Recovering Yanqi City is the only wish he has to fill his chest, King Yanqi? Hmph, I'm back this time, where is your seat! There is a way to lay down the country and sit at ease, I have tried my best to recover the elderly, and I have risked the arrows and stones, what have you done! This time, I want to repair the Yanqi Mansion decently. There are still a few decent concubines in the house.

It was the time to show their loyalty, and several of his henchmen rushed to the city gate, dismounted and pushed open the hidden city gate, and several people behind the gate scattered in a hurry. The people and horses rushed to the city like a gust of wind shouting.

At this time, the sky has already brightened, and the city of Yanqi is still quiet, only a man and a woman stand in the street in front of them, the woman is heroic and riding on a horse, holding a sword in her hand, so that Luo Zhao looked at the heart that seemed to have been hanging in his chest, and suddenly took off the hook, opened his mouth and opened his eyes to look at it directly.

The man, dressed in a scarlet robe, with a jet-black knife in his hand, stood beside the woman's horse without riding a horse. He arched his hand at him and said, "You must be Luozhao!" Rush into the city early in the morning, but what are you going to do? Gao Jun, the pastoral supervisor of Liuzhong in Lower West Prefecture, has been waiting here for a long time! ”

Fan Ying rode on a horse and said to Gao Daren, "You are so polite to him, look at his unproductive appearance." ”

Luo Zhao came back to his senses when he heard this, and said proudly, "You are the pastor, yes, there are still some things that make the appearance affordable, such as your courage and your empty city plan." ”

Gao Jun said, "You only brought eight or nine hundred people to dare to give birth to such a thief, and your courage is not small." It's better to get off the horse and let me tie up and go to Xizhou, so that I can leave a whole corpse. ”

"Even now, you are still talking wildly, all of my eight or nine hundred people are the children of Yanqi City, and since we have risen up, the city will naturally respond to all calls, and people are still a problem! I'm worried about you, and I don't kneel down in front of my horse and beg for mercy. The Avatar could have considered letting you leave alone and still let your horse go, but the woman was going to stay and serve the Avatar, hahahaha......"

Fan Ying's face turned red with anger, and she wanted to rush over and stab this arrogant guy to death with a sword. Master Gao was not angry, and said with a smile, "Since you dare to guard Yanqi alone, you must have something to rely on." It's just that Luo Zhao has disturbed this quiet city several times, I'm afraid it's not for the people in the city, and what you say is echoed, and the official doesn't believe it. There are some people in the city here who can listen to me, let me call you to see? ”

After that, under Luo Zhao's surprised gaze, the tall man waved his hand at the head of Nancheng City and shouted, "The children of each family have their own leaders, and if there is no one to receive them, no one will be left behind!" ”

When Luo Zhao heard this, he turned his head to look at the city in fright, and saw that the city was already densely packed with the residents of the city, and there were about three or four hundred people. Mostly old men with gray hair and some young women with dolls in their arms.

These people listened to Lord Gao's words, and shouted at these people behind Luo Zhao, "Baby, Lord Gao of Xizhou is very kind to my family, who are you working for?" Another woman is shouting, "Husband, our mother and son are at home three times a day, I hope you throw away the knife and gun, and get home quickly!" There were also immature children's voices shouting for Daddy, Daddy, and it was chaotic for a while.

Luo Zhao was shocked and shouted, "Confuse the army's heart, cut it up for me!" Most of his men did not move, only a dozen of them were desperate to the ground, and they raised their knives and guns and rushed to the head of the city with a whistle, and someone in Luozhao shouted, "Prime Minister, don't!" ”。 But these people have rushed to the top of the city.
