Chapter Forty-Six: The Night of the Seizure of the Door
Today's wind and snow are really heavy.
Qiu Ye sat on his horse, followed by the cavalry of the Zhao State Baijin Battalion who came from thousands of miles. The expressions of these people are very serious, there is no fatigue after the exhaustion of the boat and horses, let alone the slackness caused by this heavy snowstorm, even Qiu Li himself can feel the difference between this army and other troops, not to mention that the combat effectiveness is one hundred, this kind of discipline of running thousands of miles without falling behind makes him admire.
After waiting for a long time, the city gate still did not open. Qiu Liquid was a little worried, couldn't it be that something happened in the city? Just when he was wondering, several more lanterns were lit on the gates of the city, which had long been filled with crossbowmen, and the number of crossbowmen in the city was doubled. Before Qiu Ye waved his hand, the cavalry behind him quickly took out the crossbow behind him, wound it, aimed it, and walked smoothly, and the horses sitting down did not move at all, all of them focused on the city wall. Finally, the city gate creaked and slowly opened, everyone's goal moved to the door again, the snowflakes fell, under the flickering lights, the sound of horses' hooves came, and a person on horseback was wearing the armor of Zhao State, young and heroic, and broke with the momentum of a general. Behind him, there were several horses, shadows, and shadows, who stayed safely inside the city gates, watching the man.
Qiu Ye squinted at the black shadow, slowly raised his hand, and the cavalry behind him cautiously put down the crossbow in his hand, but his eyes were staring at the black shadows around and coming. That dark shadow was no stranger to many of them, after all, this person had also served in the Hundred Gold Camp, and he was still the best among them. It's just that without the order of the feud, no one will see it as an ally.
Qiu Ye slowly stepped forward and bowed to him from afar: "Qiu Li, the captain of the cavalry of the Handan battalion of Zhao State, was ordered to come to change the guard. ”
The corner of Zhao Hao's mouth smiled, and he also responded aloud immediately: "Zhao Hao, the cavalry captain of Zhao Guoye Wangcheng, came to greet him." After speaking, he took two steps forward on his horse, saw Qiu Ye squeezing his eyes at him, and said with a righteous face: "In this case, please open the city gate and let me and others enter the city." ”
Zhao Hao also squeezed his eyes at him, glanced back at the South Korean troops behind him, and said: "The general is slow, it's not that we are unwilling to open the city gate to greet the general, but General Han has just been drunk, and our army entered the city overnight, which is not in accordance with the rules." Zhao Hao glanced at Qiu Ye and continued: "It is a suggestion that the general bring a few personal soldiers into the city today, and tomorrow morning, after General Ming Han, he will march into the city, how about it?" ”
Qiu Ye frowned, looking at Zhao Hao's eyes with questions, Zhao Hao knew that he couldn't say much at this time, and slowly lowered his eyes to reassure him. Qiu Ye knew that Zhao Hao was not a mediocre person, and since he was so arranged, he naturally had a follow-up move. It's just that he can't reassure Koreans like this, pretending to be angry and having a verbal fight with Zhao Hao, so he "helplessly" agreed.
"In that case, why not bring these thirty personal soldiers into the city first?"
"This..."Zhao pretended to be embarrassed, and continued to "persuade": "I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, it's not going to deceive me and there is no one in Zhao Kingdom." Qiu Ye said angrily, "Since this is the case, if you don't enter this Yewang City, you can return to Handan and let the king dispose of it." So saying, he was about to turn around on his horse.
'Wait!' Suddenly, a horse drove at the city gate, it was Han Yang's deputy general, "General and slow" He was at the city gate just now, and saw Qiu Ye and the two pushing for a long time, and he also felt that since he let the other party's generals enter the city, it would not be too much to bring some personal soldiers. "Since this general only brings a few personal words, he can still be the master, so he might as well enter the city."
Zhao Hao and Qiu Ye glanced at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes. Qiu Liquid continued to pretend to be "angry", reluctantly agreed to the matter, and instead arranged for everyone to camp in the wild king. However, the lieutenant general obviously didn't see it, Qiu Li gave his lieutenant a look imperceptibly, and then entered the city first with more than 30 cavalry. The Korean deputy general saw that the cavalry of Zhao Guo was leaving one after another, and he also put his mind at ease, just waiting for the other party to be gone, and then took Zhao Hao and a few people into the city.
At this moment, I don't know who shouted first: "It's water!" Then everyone on the tower shouted. When the lieutenant heard that the water had gone, he did not know what had happened, so he beat his horse and ran into the city. Zhao Hao hurriedly whispered to Qiu Liquid: "Rush to the city!" Fast! As he spoke, he rode away. Qiu Ye rushed to the city gate with more than 30 personal soldiers, and at the same time asked people to chase the troops who had not gone far.
The Koreans were attracted by the news of the water, and before they noticed the changes here, Zhao Hao and Qiu Ye rushed in with the deputy general, and they heard the deputy general striding up the city tower and shouting: "Where to go to the water?" Where to walk the water? Zhao Hao and the others followed, just in time to hear Han Jun say: "It seems to be in the direction of the big camp." ”
Zhao Hao hurriedly stepped forward and said with a panicked face: "How should this be?" ”
The deputy general was in a hurry, and when he heard Zhao Hao's words, his heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Zhao Hao with a stunned look, "What does General Zhao think about this?" ”
Zhao Hao had a righteous face: "This matter must be rushed to the rescue." ”
The adjutant general didn't see the panic in Zhao Hao's eyes, and felt that this matter was quite strange, so he could only drink down: "Everyone immediately stick to their posts, no one can open the city gate without an order!" As he spoke, he glared at Zhao Hao, turned around and walked down the city tower.
Zhao Hao and Qiu Liquid saw that things could no longer be deceived, and followed the deputy general down, and before he could react, he was dragged over by Qiu Liquid, pulled to the cave of the city gate, holding a knife in his neck in one hand, and shouted: "Don't come here!" ”
The Koreans reacted at this time, and raised their crossbows to aim at Zhao Hao and others, taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiu Li's thirty personal soldiers surrounded the city gate, and at this moment the city gate was wide open, and the cavalry of Zhao State was coming, Zhao Hao and others knew that as long as they delayed for a while, the plan to seize the door would be successful.
"General Zhao, what do you mean by this?" The deputy general was shocked at the moment, and asked Zhao Hao, who was on guard next to him.
"General, so-and-so is also on the orders of the king, do something that should be done." Zhao Hao changed his enthusiasm just now and looked at him in a cold tone.
"Zhao Guomo doesn't want to start a war with me in South Korea?" The lieutenant general was also tough, and there was not the slightest word of begging for mercy at this moment.
"Doesn't that count?" Zhao Hao smiled slightly, "I advise the general to let these soldiers lay down their weapons, although I and more than 30 people have no combat effectiveness, but my cavalry will be here soon, and the city gate is about to be broken, don't hurt the innocent!" ”
"Phew!" Your lieutenant reprimanded angrily: "Zhao Guonan is heroic, and the Koreans are not cowards!" As he spoke, he struggled and said to the Koreans who were aiming at them in front: "Listen to a certain order, everyone will kill Zhao Guoren immediately, don't let them seize the city gate!" ”
Those Korean soldiers were a little stunned, after all, there were generals in the hands of the other party, if they really released arrows, I am afraid that even the deputy general would die without a place to be buried.
"A certain Mo is not going to disobey!" The lieutenant roared, "Quick! ”
I don't know who broke the nerves, and the Korean crossbows around it began to form a rain of arrows to cover the city gates. Zhao Hao hurriedly shrank back, and the cavalry of the Baijin Battalion immediately took out a small shield to block, but after all, this shield was only used on horses, not that kind of strong shield, and there was no way to deal with the attack of the Korean crossbow at close range, and for a while, Zhao Hao's revenge liquid was also hit by arrows. As for the lieutenant general, he had already died, and at this moment he was used as a shield by Qiu Liquid in his hand.
At this moment, there was a shout of killing behind the Koreans, and before they could react, they saw the same rain of arrows coming towards them, and hundreds of Zhao soldiers galloped towards here. The Koreans themselves lacked a main general, so they lost their morale first, and when they saw Zhao Guoren rushing at this moment, they immediately panicked. During the chaos, he didn't know what to do, and he was soon surrounded by the Zhao soldiers who rushed over, so he could only disarm and surrender.
"General! Checkmate! Xu Li hurriedly jumped off the horse, he had just led the people to occupy the granary of Yewang City first, thinking that he might need help here, so he came with people to help, but fortunately caught up. He looked at Zhao Hao's two arrows in his body, his steps were vain, and he immediately stepped forward to support him. He and Zhao Hao have been friends for many years, and when he sees his old friend injured at this moment, he can't bear it.
Zhao Hao waved his hand, stood up by himself, and without waiting for everyone to react, he pulled out two feather arrows and threw them on the ground. Qiu Ye also pulled out the arrows on his body and asked Zhao Hao: "How to arrange it at this moment, please ask the general to show it." ”
Although the relationship between the two is secretly very good, Zhao Hao is the chief officer in charge of this operation, and he is here to cooperate with him.
Zhao Hao didn't think about it, and immediately arranged: "General Qiu, your cavalry is stationed in this urn city, and I will allow you two thousand crossbowmen to guard the city gate." ”
"Xu Li, hold the prisoners of the Korean army at the city gate first, and make arrangements later. You immediately reorganize the troops and horses of your department, maintain order, all the people are not allowed to go out, and those who disrespect the order will be killed! ”
Xu Li promised, received the order, went to rein in the soldiers and horses, and began to maintain order.
Zhao Hao turned around and said to Qiu Li: "The gate of the Wild King City is handed over to you, don't use your troops in vain, it is the best policy to recuperate." I'm going to the Korean camp to deal with the aftermath. ”
"Don't worry, general, the arrangement must be clear."
Zhao Hao nodded, and he didn't care about the injuries on his body, so he casually wrapped himself twice, and rushed to the Han army camp where the fire started.
Outside the South Korean army camp, Pang Xuan was commanding the soldiers of Zhao State, throwing a pot of oil into the South Korean camp that was burning with fire through a small stone thrower next to it. In front of the trebuchet, there are rows of crossbowmen, and in front of them are two rows of long soldiers. In the light of the fire, the miserable cries of Koreans came and went, accompanied by bodies with flames, which made people shudder. It's snowing tonight, but it's a hell of fire.
Occasionally, one or two soldiers escaped, and the soldiers of Zhao State, who had been prepared for a long time, rained arrows, and the Koreans fell under the attack of Zhao State one by one. Pang Xuan was a little sad about this kind of scene at first, but he is now the main general, and there is no possibility of letting him leave for any reason. He had been on the battlefield and had killed the enemy, but now he was facing a one-sided slaughter.
"How's it going?"
Zhao Hao appeared behind him and patted the little brother on the shoulder. Pang Xuan was shocked, and when he saw that it was Zhao Hao, he remembered to salute: "The big thing has been decided, and no one in the South Koreans has escaped." ”
Zhao Hao nodded, looking at this firelight, he was also a little unbearable in his heart. But after all, he has seen a lot, so he felt a little uncomfortable, and he came back to his senses. He is now the commander of the Zhao army in Yewang City, and he can't be shaken in the slightest.
"What about Han Yang?" He asked, but didn't get an answer, he turned to look, Pang Xuan was still a little stunned. He walked up to Pang Xuan and said quietly: "Get used to it early, this is your fate and mine." Without waiting for Pang Xuan to reply, he strode backwards and left here.
"This is.... Destiny? ”
