Chapter Twenty-Seven: The City of Deception
Liu Yanqing went up to the city and shouted to his subordinates: "Don't rush to open the city gate first!" Wait for me to look closely, identify their details, and say! ”
"General, do you think they are fake, they are here to cheat the city?" Said the adjutant general.
"I don't know yet, but it's not a big mistake to be careful!" Liu Yanqing said as he looked down.
Liu Yanqing observed the situation of the soldiers and horses under the city back and forth, and he frowned.
It's the armor of the Song army, yes, it should be its own soldiers and horses. But Liu Yanqing looked at this army and always felt that something was wrong.
But for a moment, he couldn't say anything was wrong.
Liu Yanqing shouted loudly towards the city: "You are from that army, who is the main general?" ”
"General, we are the soldiers and horses under General Chen Zhu Chen. The enemy was too strong, we were not an adversary, and the army was completely routed by the enemy. We had no choice but to escape, and we ran for two days and one night before we ran to Jizhou. General, please open the door and let us in, little please! Shi Xiu "cried" shouted.
Hearing the words of the deserters under the city, Liu Yanqing asked, "Why are there only a few of you, Lord Minister?" Where is he now? ”
Shi Xiu raised his head and shouted loudly: "The little ones don't know, the army has been defeated, and everyone is only concerned about fleeing for their lives." The little one doesn't know where the adults are now, and the little ones haven't eaten for two days, so I beg the adults to have mercy on us pawns, open the city gate and let us in, and drink hot water! The little one begs the adult! ”
At Shi Xiu's signal, for a while, thousands of soldiers in the city begged to open the city gate.
Under the city gate, Shi Xiu waited for a while, but did not see the city gate open. The drawbridge was lowered, and he was wondering.
Could it be that my disguise was seen through by the other party, but where did I show my feet!
These armors passed down by his subordinates are all official Song army infantry armor, which was captured from the Song army by his own soldiers and horses before. There's no way something could go wrong!
Maybe the other party is asking for instructions from the lord of the city, and he hasn't had time to pass it on for a while. I need to be calm and never panic.
Just as Shi Xiu was trying to maintain his composure, Liu Yanqing in the city observed the soldiers and horses under the city for a while, and finally found the question in his heart.
They all said that they had been running for two days and one night, and they all said that they hadn't eaten for two days, how could these guys still look energetic, and it was not at all the feeling of running away and about to collapse in their impressions.
And what surprised Liu Yanqing even more was that the Song army's salary was very bad, and many soldiers could not eat enough, and their bodies were very thin.
But these people under the city are all very lean, and the muscles on their arms are bulging, and they don't have the thin appearance of Song Bing at all.
After discovering the inappropriateness of these two places, Liu Yanqing was taken aback, I said that I felt strange in my heart, these people really came to defraud the city.
"Hahahaha......" Liu Yanqing laughed and shouted loudly: "The thieves under the city, just with your tricks, you still want to deceive me Liu Yanqing, it's a dream!" ”
When Shi Xiu heard this, his eyes widened, and his face was incredulous. How did he perceive it?
Shi Xiu didn't have time to think. Because Liu Yanqing had already shouted: "Archers prepare, shoot me hard!" ”
With Liu Yanqing's order, two or three thousand archers ran from the city on both sides, took arrows and drew bows, and aimed their arrows at Shi Xiu and them.
Shi Xiu knew that his plan had failed, and he hurriedly drank: "Evacuate quickly!" ”
He sheathed his shield and ran out as fast as he could.
The other Yan soldiers were the same, and hurriedly ran towards the shield with their shields.
The archers at the head of the city quickly drew long arrows from the quiver and shot them at Shixiu!
Although protected by shields, more than 30 Yan soldiers were still nailed to death by arrows on the ground outside Yuyang City.
Seeing the Yan army fleeing in embarrassment, Liu Yanqing suddenly shouted with laughter: "This Yan army is nothing more than this, how can it be the opponent of my army." This time, rub each other. The soldiers who waited to defend the city were rewarded with a bowl of wine. Defend the city well, as long as I, Liu Yanqing, am here for a day, this Yuyang City will not be lost!"
Hearing that Liu Yanqing rewarded everyone with a bowl of wine to drink, these soldiers guarding the city immediately shouted: "Lord Xie! ”
Liu Yanqing confidently inspired his subordinates all the way, but as soon as he returned to the mansion, after he sat down, his face was gloomy and terrifying.
Lord Tong Guan led the 150,000 troops and was the main force of this Northern Expedition. If only he had been defeated as the enemy soldier had said. Even if you thwart the enemy here, it's useless.
Do you still expect that your 5,000 soldiers and horses can defeat the opponent's tens of thousands of troops and capture Yanyun?
What's going on right now? Where is he now?
There was no news for two days, and Liu Yanqing was very flustered. He shouted, "Someone! ”
The captain standing at the door shouted, "General, what are your orders?" ”
"Quick, send all the spies out, and do your best to inquire about the news of the cardinal. As soon as there is news, report it immediately! ”
"No!"
When Liu Yanqing sent his spies to clear the news of Master Tong Guan, Shi Xiu ran with his men and horses to join Yang Xiong.
In the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, Shi Xiu arched his hand towards Yang Xiong with a guilty face and said, "The last general is incompetent and failed to complete the task. Please also punish the general! ”
When Yang Xiong heard this, he hurriedly helped Shi Xiu up and said, "Brother Xian doesn't have to mind, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers." Besides, you are not defeated, what is there to blame! Tell the virtuous brother the good news, General Hua has defeated Tong Guan's army, and now the defeated army of the Song army is coming towards Jizhou. If you and I set up a camp here, we will definitely be able to capture a lot of deserters and make a lot of military achievements! ”
Shi Xiu is not a person who is bald when he is frustrated, he has a tough heart.
When he heard that Hua Rong had defeated Tong Guan and that the Song army had lost and fled to this side, he immediately said, "No, we should let these deserters go." Then we can follow and take the opportunity to enter the city and capture Yuyang City! ”
When Yang Xiong heard it, he hesitated. If you set up a camp, you will be able to capture a lot of prisoners and make a lot of contributions. The safest way!
If Shi Xiu's plan is implemented, once Yuyang City is conquered, it will be a huge credit. But in case the enemy was prepared again, he failed to conquer the city. At that time, there were not many prisoners to catch, and Yuyang City was not conquered, and he was empty.
It's a big risk!
Seeing that Yang Xiong was hesitating, Shi Xiu persuaded and said, "Big brother, don't hesitate anymore. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to lead the army alone in the future. Don't you want to mention it again! ”
Hearing Shi Xiu call his eldest brother, Yang Xiong finally made up his mind. "Okay, just do what you want! Someone, quickly pass the order, the whole army is hidden, wait for the opportunity! ”
Hearing this, a group of Yan soldiers hurriedly packed up the tents they were camping in and got out of the way.
Tong Guan led more than 2,000 personal cavalry and finally rushed to the outside of Yuyang City. Hurried overnight, and now Tong Guan's eyes are bloodshot. He shouted at Bi Sheng very tiredly, "Tell Liu Yanqing to open the city gate and let us in!" ”
"The last general is going now!"
The guards at the head of the city saw the dust rolling up in the distance and hurriedly ran to report to Liu Yanqing.
Hearing that another Song soldier wearing his own armor came running and shouting to enter the city, Liu Yanqing shouted angrily: "This group of enemy soldiers can't reach the Yellow River and don't give up, right?" Once unsuccessful, even dare to come a second time. Whoever comes, send an order to the archers to the city, and if those people dare to come, they will all be shot to death under the city! ”
