Chapter 25: The City of Deception
Dusk, sunset.
Under the guidance of a large banner waving in the wind, the army of more than 10,000 people stretched for several miles, meandering forward, bypassing the city of Xiami, and arriving at Xiejiazhuang.
The swarming contingent was none other than the LTTE's successor infantry, logistical baggage, and various craftsmen.
A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late! Beihai Xiang dares to bully Lao Tzu, I don't want to endure it for a day, Lao Tzu is not a forbearance gentleman, if this hatred is not immediately served, is it still a prodigal son who is happy to take revenge? !
Although I don't dare to hope for the world, how can I swallow this evil breath in front of me, and Tai Shici almost died because of this battle.
The impact of this matter is extremely bad, and even a cat or dog dares to and pee on the head of my Tiger Army, so what's the deal? If such unhealthy tendencies are not eliminated, where is the prestige of our Tiger Army! How can I stand in this troubled era? No matter what you are the Minister of Beihai, if you dare to use Lao Tzu's crooked brain, Lao Tzu will immediately make you gray!
What's more, Li Yong has been an official in Beihai for several years, and he has already done a lot of evil deeds, and destroying him will not only not add to the psychological burden in vain, but will also make people happy, and it is simply unreasonable not to kill him.
I suddenly had an indescribable joy in my heart, although I was in troubled times, but the feeling of having a grudge and not staying overnight was so fucking cool!
After the drums of war sounded, the subordinates gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army.
Mi Hua, Cao Xing, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Man Chong, Yu Ban, Cheng Lian, Zhou Cang, Li Wei and others gathered together!
Scanning half a circle, looking at the number of people, but the star-twinkling capable team, I felt a burst of pride in my heart, counting Tai Shici, as long as this small group develops in a few years, it will definitely become a force that stirs the pattern of the world!
"Since the formation of our Tiger Army, we have fought thousands of miles, all the way like a rainbow, dozens of battles of all sizes, invincible! Today, there is a small man who openly robbed our army of money and food, and injured our soldiers. I said in a deep voice.
"This guy is tired of life!"
"The dog thief who doesn't have long eyes, kill him."
"Fuck it, let him know how powerful my Tiger Army is!"
……
The whole tent suddenly exploded, and all the generals were indignant and denounced it en masse. Everyone gritted their teeth and wanted to go to the door immediately to get justice for the dead and wounded soldiers.
"Beihai Guo Li used dog guts to cover the sky, and dared to rob our army's supply station in broad daylight, such evil deeds must not be tolerated!" I coughed lightly, and after setting the tone for today's meeting in a cold and murderous tone, I asked the generals to come up one by one to express their opinions.
"Give me 3,000 soldiers and horses, and I will set foot on the North Sea and destroy this dog thief!" Dian Wei shook his fists and was the first to ask me to fight.
"Evil, your duty is to protect the safety of the lord, how can you leave lightly? I only need two thousand and five, nay, two thousand, and I will sacrifice Li with a dog's head under the lord's account! Xu Chu was not unwilling, and after speaking, he winked at Dian Wei and teased him. The two are living treasures, and they usually learn from each other every day, and their relationship is very good, but when it is their turn to go into battle to kill the enemy, even if they are pro-Laozi, there is no room for negotiation.
The two stared at each other and didn't give in to each other!
"Li Yong must be defeated! It's just that you must be cautious in how to crusade, and it is definitely not appropriate to use the banner of the Tiger Army......" Cao Xing was calm by nature, he thought deeply, after all, there was still the signboard of the Han Dynasty on his head, and without the authorization of the imperial court, it was a rebellious crime for the two counties to attack privately.
I nodded secretly, Cao Xing in history is not much outstanding, but with my understanding of him, I know that he is loyal and righteous, has responsibility, and is a talent that can be created, as long as he is provided with the opportunity to temper more, he will definitely be able to take charge in the future!
Everyone was foaming at the mouth, eager to catch Li Yong immediately, and when they ate meat and drank blood, only one person turned pale and didn't say a word.
He is the honorary Donglai Taishou - Mi Hua.
I know his feelings very well at this time, that Li Yong is nakedly slapping him in the face, it is nothing more than bullying him that he is a businessman who buys officials without a background, if the buyer is replaced by a wealthy family, he will not dare to borrow him Li with a few thieves!
Although he is not the real person in charge of Donglai, he is also angry at Li Yong's vicious behavior that he completely ignores.
I smiled at Mi Hua and comforted: "Zimeng, why be angry with the thief who is about to die!" ”
Mi Hua nodded, and his anger disappeared a little.
"There will be a word at the end, I don't know whether to say it or not?" A person came out with a fist, and Lang Lang spoke.
"Berning, what's the idea?" I nodded at Man Pet and motioned for him to continue.
Man Pet saluted me, Shi Shiran came to the side of the hanging map, pointed to the east of the Shandong Peninsula, and said: "My Donglai terrain is long and narrow, like a bull's horn, if it is cut off by the enemy, the north and the south will fight separately, and it is easy for the enemy to take advantage of!" ”
As he slid his fingers, everyone's eyes were all attracted.
I smiled and nodded, and made a gesture with my right hand that please continue.
Full of favor and did not sell Guanzi, he opened his mouth again: "The lord wants to take Donglai as the foundation, and Beihai is bound to be in control, which can not only increase the strategic maneuver space, but also become a great help for the lord." ”
Mi Hua, Yu Ban and others all echoed one after another, obviously everyone didn't pay much attention to the authority of the Han Dynasty at sunset! It seems natural to seize the county without permission.
This sentence also goes to my heart, I don't have a good impression of this chaotic regime, I have already moved this thought, but the time is not yet ripe, even Donglai has not yet arrived, so I seek to take Beihai, isn't it eating in the bowl, and looking at the pot, and besides, the Han family has not completely lost control of the place, and it is really brainless to blatantly seize Beihai! If you want to control Beihai before Dong Zhuo enters Luoyang, you have to use your brains, and if Guo Jia is here, maybe the feather fan will have a lot of ideas. Now, I really miss Bonghyo a little bit.
Berning has a point, but the time has not yet come; After stabilizing Donglai, see you again to take the North Sea! "I forcibly resisted the urge to become fat in one bite, and at the same time affirmed Man's advice.
There is no fool in my core team, and they naturally understand that this is not the time to forcibly take Beihai, and everyone looks at me, waiting for me to make a final decision.
I coughed lightly and looked around at the crowd, and the tent fell silent for a moment.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu stared at me eagerly, and their desire to fight was high.
Others, too, are eager to take the plunge.
The Heart of the Army is available!
"Brother Zimeng, you stay in the camp, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, and Yu Ban help to guard the camp; In case of enemy situation, please listen to the opinions of the three generals, and the safety of the battalion will depend on the brother! "After all, he is in name too much, and I use a negotiated tone to take him as the main general to stay in the camp, and the face on the scene must be sufficient.
Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, and Yu Banwen couldn't go into battle to kill the enemy, and the look of loss flashed in the eyes of several people, but they immediately made a promise and obeyed the overall situation well.
Mi Hua is not the kind of villain, on the contrary, he knows the basic quality of an excellent businessman, he replied with a smile: "Haichuan, you think highly of me, the defense of the battalion has its own three generals to work, and I have no experience in managing the army, so it is my duty to provide logistics for me!" ”
For the head of the Mi family who knows how to advance and retreat, I can't say anything, so I have to smile warmly at him, and then order: "Wen Ze, you are the main general, take down the secret immediately, and after the matter is completed, the camp will move in quickly!" ”
"The last general obeys!" Yu Ban Gongsheng received the order, turned around and went out of the tent to make arrangements.
There are few soldiers in the city, and there is a ban on making a move, so I am not worried.
As for Beihai, I have to personally lead the troops to see, what kind of goods is Li Yong, the prime minister of Beihai? Then he issued an order: "The rest of the generals will listen to the order and quickly take 3,000 elites to send to Beihai with my troops!" ”
At the gate of Beihai East City, the night falls early, and the city gate is closed!
A fiery dragon, piercing through the darkness and tranquility of the night, rushed towards the eastern city.
The city was in a panic, and the gong of warning sounded,
A few months ago, he was still an ordinary chief in charge of more than a dozen big-headed soldiers, because he was good at slapping horses and hitching on Wang Qi; Originally, the two of them couldn't play a shot in eight lifetimes, Wang Fang was cheeky and flattered in every way, and finally recognized Wang Qi, who was five years younger than him, as his uncle; The backstage is hard, and the official will naturally rise quickly! In the past few months, it has been like a rocket, and he has suddenly jumped to the position of a military marquis, and he has to guard the east gate.
Wang Fang held the battlements in his hands, looked at the team that was getting closer and closer under the city tower, and saw that this group of people were all dressed in Beihai soldier clothes, and hurriedly ordered the left and right to prepare to open the city gate, and it must be Wang Sima who returned to the city victoriously.
"Marquis, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, and it's not too late to open the door when you see Lord Sima." One of the tun chiefs beside him was very cautious, and he suggested to Wang Fang. In fact, he still has a sentence that he doesn't dare to say: with Wang Sima's virtue, if he wins and returns to the city, the good news will not be known to the whole city, how can he be so low-key, and if he can't get it, he will return deflated!
When Wang Fang heard it, he felt that there was some truth, so that people were not in a hurry to open the city gate first.
At this time, a few people rushed out of the crowd below to stop not far from the city gate, and one of them shouted loudly: "Open the city gate quickly, Lord Sima is back to the city!" ”
Hearing that it was really Lord Sima returning to the city, Wang Xiang leaned out of the city, hated to turn into a giraffe, stretched his neck out of the old elder, and searched for Wang Qi carefully in the crowd of torches.
Three or four feet behind the shouting soldiers, more than a dozen knights guarded the fat man riding a white horse in the middle. This person is about thirty years old, with a high crown and brocade clothes, who is not Wang Qi? Although his demeanor is not as arrogant and domineering as in the past, and even a little sluggish, he is 100% sure of his good "clan uncle".
"Quickly open the city gate and welcome Lord Sima!" Wang Fang hurriedly ordered the door to be opened, for fear of snubbing Wang Qi.
The tun chief always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find an obvious flaw, so he had to watch the city cave open.
In a short time, more than 100 "Beihai soldiers" below have poured in.
"Not good! It's the Yellow Turban Thief who cheats the city! The tun chief grabbed the military marquis who was about to go down to the city to greet Shangguan, pointed to the big man who was about to enter the city and shouted: "Junhou, that person is the famous 'Scud' Zhou Cang among the Yellow Turban thieves. ”
"Close the gates! Fast! Fast! Fast! When Wang Fang heard that it was the Yellow Turban thief who was defrauding the city, he was so frightened that his face was like earth, his life was at stake, and he didn't care about greeting Wang Qi, so he immediately shouted loudly.
The city gate has been quietly controlled by the Tiger army that has rushed in, and they have squeezed the Beihai defenders to one side without a trace, and they are afraid that they will not be able to close the city gate.
The military marquis is already the master of the six gods, and the critical moment shows the true color of the straw bag.
Seeing that he couldn't close the city gate, Natun Chang pulled out his legs and rushed to the winch of the city tower, waved his knife to cut the noose, and the "10,000 catties iron gate" fell down.
When there are few cities in the dynasty that are extravagant enough to use iron gates, Beihai is rich, prolific iron ore, and the former prime minister, when encountering several giant bandits attacking the city, he gritted his teeth and illegally cast four heavy iron gates.
"Do it!"
Seeing that the defenders saw through the deceitful city, Xu Chu, who rushed into the front, roared, and the long knife was slashed out, and several Beihai soldiers in front of him were immediately beheaded. Seeing that the general had already started to cut people, the tiger soldiers who followed behind also drew their swords and shouted angrily: "Kill the thief!" ”
The striker is like a wolf and a tiger, and under the fierce impact of Xu Chu's leading soldiers, he is unstoppable!
Zhou Cang was unwilling to fall behind, and he couldn't wait to rush to the city gate with his big sword held high.
Crunch, crunch, Zhou Cang, who was about to step into the city gate, suddenly felt something strange above his head, looked up, and saw that the heavy iron gates were falling rapidly from the chutes on both sides of the city gate!
If Zhou Cang turned around and retreated, no one would blame him, but the brothers who fought hard to kill the enemy in the city would become the turtles in the urn!
The safety of the strikers is at stake!
Zhou Cang rubbed his hands, took a long breath, grabbed the ground with his toes, stared at the rapidly falling iron gate, and his majestic body stood still!
At this moment, the heavy iron gate is only two feet away from the top of Zhou Cang's head, if you hesitate for half a second, you will be hit by the iron gate, and the consequences will be miserable!
"General Zhou, get out of the way!" The officers and men of our army who witnessed this scene were all anxious and shouted for them to stay away.
Phew! Zhou Cang's angry lion roared wildly, gathered all his strength in the palm of his hand, and raised his arms to hold up the rapidly falling 10,000-pound iron gate!
The "10,000 catties iron gate" may not really have 10,000 catties, but there are still one or two thousand catties, even if Zhou Cang is born with divine power, it is difficult to last.
The big iron gate is still slowly moving down! Zhou Cang's steel teeth were crushed at this time, the green tendons on his neck burst out, and the beads of sweat the size of soybeans on his forehead fell like raindrops......
A few soldiers behind him wanted to come over to help, but Zhou Cang's eyes glared angrily, and he only spit out three words in his mouth: "Rush in!" ”
Time is passing minute by minute, the iron gate is too heavy, it is still sliding, and it is about to press on the top of Zhou Cang's head! Hercules let out a loud cry and slowly raised the iron gate again......
I heard the news of a change in the military situation in front of me, and hurried to the east gate in the rear.
The tall hero image of Zhou Cang immediately caught his eye, and this living life was a Han Dynasty version of Dong Chengrui's style!
"Come on, hurry up and replace the head of next week!" I clenched my fists secretly, my nose was a little sore, and my eye circles began to redden, Zhou Cangguo lived up to the name of loyalty and righteousness, such a good man can't watch an accident.
As soon as the words fell, Dian Wei had already rushed to Zhou Cang, stood side by side with his deputy, and lifted the slowly falling iron gate upward!
Both laughed at the same time!
The successors cut down the defenders at the head of the city, and the marquis Wang Fang and the tun chief who cut the noose were the eyes of our soldiers and the thorns in the flesh, and the tun chief was shot into a hedgehog by Li Wei; And Wang Fang was chased by full favor so that there was no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the ground, so he was so helpless that he jumped off the city wall and fell to his death, and the soldiers below were still angry, and chopped off with knives, becoming a pile of minced meat!
After re-twisting the iron gate, Dian Wei and Zhou Cang jumped to join the camp despite their tiredness and continued to kill!
The combat effectiveness of the Beihai soldiers was not strong, and under the surprise attack of our army, they were already unable to form an army, and they were killed by our army and had no power to fight back.
Seeing that the offensive was going well, I asked the guards around me to shout loudly: "Those who surrender will not be killed!" ”
When the soldiers in front heard it, they also shouted in unison, and immediately, where they passed, the people descended like clouds, and Beihai City was quickly captured by our army.
"Lord, Li Yong resisted, I have killed him on the spot! Now that our army has controlled all the government offices, the official cang...... "full of favor to offer Li Yong's head, and gladly come."
"Troubled, I have to count the money and count the cramps in the next few days..."I held back the joy in my heart, pondered for a long time, and said to Manzhong: "Berning, the obtained material can not stay here for a long time, I want to rush to Donglai, this place must be guarded by a master for a few days, I think about it, only you are the most suitable!" ”
"Please rest assured, the pet will complete the task you have entrusted." Full of favors and fists to lead the life.
I asked Xu Chu and Li Wei to assist Manzhong, and surrounded by Dian Wei, Zhou Cang and hundreds of guards, the group faced the evening breeze and rushed back to Xiami overnight with the night dew.
In the early morning, more than 1,000 people were left to guard the secret as a transit station, and in response to a large number of loot, the army immediately galloped into the Donglai territory.
On the second day, Lu Township was taken, and the Yellow Turban thieves surrendered, and the next day they attacked Dangli, plus the four cities that were still in the hands of the government, such as Huang County, Rong County, Qucheng, and Ye County, so far six counties of the twelve counties of Donglai County were in hand.
The six cities are close to Beihai, and there are six cities of Muping, Dongmu, Changyang, Changguang, Buqi, and Qiancheng to be recovered.
My long march in the Eastern Han Dynasty has finally taken a solid step!
