Chapter 866: Break through the city first
"Open the gates! I'm waiting to report back! ”
Outside the city gate of Yan County, two teams of soldiers were anxiously banging on the city gate, about one or two hundred people, some carrying several corpses, many of them were still wrapped in bandages on their heads, with blood stains, looking very embarrassed.
On the city wall, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant were watching, and it was difficult to decide for a while.
This sudden attack really surprised them so much that they were at a loss.
"County Lieutenant Liu, do you want to let this team of soldiers and horses in?" After the county commander glanced at it a few times, he asked the county lieutenant next to him with some uncertainty, "I'm afraid something will happen if I leave it like this." ”
"But General Wang hasn't returned yet!" The county lieutenant had an embarrassed expression, it stands to reason that he is the one who should be in charge of the military affairs in the county, but this time he was stationed in the city, and the command was taken over by the people sent from above, "That Wang Xiao General, but the general's kindred, is usually very majestic, when he left just now, but he was instructed, no matter what the situation, don't easily open the door and let people in, this person just left......"
"What do you call this, why is it suddenly in chaos?" The county commander was full of embarrassment and entanglement, glanced at the soldiers under the city who kept knocking on the city gate, and shook his head, "It stands to reason that this situation shouldn't be like this, which Hu people are the generals conquering this time?" In the past, the Hu people were not so powerful, and they all entered the hinterland of our Fanyang County, and it was Shile at the beginning, but they just sent a little soldiers and plundered the surroundings. ”
The county lieutenant sighed and said: "After all, Yuxian is close to Youzhou, and it has always been a heavily guarded place, if it weren't for this time to attack foreign enemies and mobilize troops and horses out, this place would not be so empty, but then again, no one thought that our Yuxian would be attacked, and how long has it been?" I sent the soldiers away a few days ago! ”
Knock knock!
The two of them were still talking, and the knocking on the door below became more and more intense, and the first one or two hundred people increased a lot in the blink of an eye, all of them were very anxious, and many people shouted in their mouths, saying that there was an urgent military situation to report, and they could not delay at all.
Such a battle made the two officials panic, and the county order was to give an order to let people go over and open the city gate, and let people in first.
However, the county lieutenant still had a little sense, stopped the county order, and said: "There are so many people, there are a mixture of fish and dragons, if one or two spies are mixed in, there may be chaos!" ”
The county order pointed to a few people under the city: "I don't think so, you have also seen the outfits of these people, but they are not ordinary garrisons, at first glance, they are the patrol looks, and how long has this been the conflict, even if you can get one or two military uniforms, it is only a few, so at most one or two people, after careful screening, there will be gains, although I don't know about military affairs, but I have seen the art of war, I know that the army has its own law, in ancient times, Han Xin led the troops, there was a set of mutual screening ......"
The more the county commander spoke, the more he felt it, but when he was thinking about making a long speech, there was a sudden uproar below, followed by a cracking sound, and suddenly he saw the soldiers and horses below suddenly rushing towards the city gate, and I don't know whether the city gate was opened, and it was a mess.
"What's going on? The official hasn't given an order yet, why did the city gate open? "The county commander didn't care about showing his military attainments, so he asked directly about the left and right, but the soldiers on this side are all on the side, so how can he know?
Fortunately, as soon as his words fell, two people hurriedly came up, wearing soldiers' clothes, and approached with a panicked expression.
The guards around here were still loyal to their duties, and first stopped the two, but when they heard the two shouting "no", "no", the county commander still waved his hand, asked the soldiers to retreat, and called the two to ask.
The two of them walked over, looking frightened, and one said: "Back to the county king, there are spies in the city, take advantage of the chaos to approach the city gate, kill the soldiers guarding the gate, open the city gate, and let the soldiers outside the city come in!" ”
Another said: "There are also people inside and outside the soldiers outside the city, and this city gate can't stand it at all!" ”
"Sure enough, there is a mole! What a pity! As soon as he heard the county order, he beat his chest for a while, as if he had expected it, and completely forgot what he had said before.
It's just that he was still talking here, and the two people who were slowly approaching secretly glanced at each other!
This detail was caught in the eyes of the county lieutenant who was watching the two of them, he secretly shouted that it was not right, and he was about to step forward to block it, but unfortunately it was still a step too late, the two soldiers rushed over at once, and directly grabbed the county order, one after the other, and took out a short knife from somewhere, rested on the neck of the county order, and looked coldly at the people in front of him.
"It's a good one to go deep into the tiger's den, the two of them have such courage, they must not be ordinary people, can you report your life, and let Liu listen to it!" The county lieutenant threw a mouse bogey, but he didn't stop talking, and at the same time gave a few soldiers next to him a look, asking them to seize the opportunity to see if they could rescue the county order.
The soldier who held the county order hostage didn't pay attention to it at all, and turned his face and said: "If I were Your Excellency, I would not delay like this, and I would like to ask the county monarch to give an order and open the city gate!" ”
The county commander felt the cold breath on his neck, and the two trembled, almost unable to stand on his feet, but he still said with a surprised face: "The city gate is not opened, so ...... below just now"
"It's just a trick." The soldier sneered and pressed the short knife in his hand a few inches closer, "However, it is only a matter of time before the city gate is opened, I just have to speed it up, County Lord, I hope you can value your own life and make a wise choice." ”
"Don't be excited, don't be excited...... the county commander hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a weak voice: "Go and open the city gate......"
The county lieutenant said hatefully: "It's also your luck, just when General Xiao Wang is away......
"You think it's a coincidence?" The soldier smiled mockingly, "If it's such a coincidence, why did the timing get just right?" ”
Hearing this, the county lieutenant woke up suddenly, suddenly raised his finger, and pointed at the two people tremblingly: "The previous military situation and the outside movement are just to lure General Xiao Wang out?" ”
Crunch......
The gates of the city were opened, and the soldiers from outside the city swarmed in.
Soon, the whole city suddenly fell silent.
After about a meal, there was another sound of horses' hooves outside the city, but I saw a group of cavalry galloping in, each of them hanging colors, each of them seemed to have gone through a hard battle, and the sound of the pursuers could be faintly heard behind them.
At the head was a young man, with blood on his face, but he gritted his teeth, and when he came to the bottom of the city, he shouted, "Open the gates, let me in!" Get the archers ready and greet those behind......"
It's just that before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened, looking at the "Chen" flag fluttering on the city wall, and his words stopped abruptly.
