Chapter 123: Tong Guan faked the decree, Zheng Zhi killed Qincha
"Report! The Dingxi Party began to reorganize the army, and it will leave for the south in the near future! The scout knelt before the big tent boy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zheng Zhi was shocked when he heard this, and Zheng Zhi underestimated the efficiency of the party members, thinking that although the army had arrived, the grain and grass would definitely have to be prepared for a few days, but he didn't expect the party members to race against time so much and start a war in a hurry.
It's just that what can this party do if they don't fight? When the Song people built the city, where would there be room for the party to survive. The vicious circle of decades has reached the point where it is impossible not to fight, and no matter how much it costs, it will not allow the Song people to build a good city.
"General Zheng, fifty or sixty thousand party cavalry, can this village be defended?" Tong Guan waved away the scout, stood up and asked.
Zheng Zhi was full of solemnity, if it was before, Zheng Zhi would definitely say a word categorically. But it was the last war, the way the party members entered the village really opened Zheng Zhi's eyes, everyone can stand on the back of a galloping horse, jump up is two feet, turn over and enter the village.
"Can't hold it!" Zheng Zhi could only tell the truth, as long as the stockade broke through the gap and tens of thousands of cavalry rushed into the stockade of the 30,000 Western Army, what kind of scene would it be, Zheng Zhi didn't dare to think about it.
The master has been fighting with the party for more than 20 years, so he naturally understands the methods of the party members, and his eyes are firmly on Zheng Zhi, and he also knows that Tong Guan believes Zheng Zhi's words the most, for fear that Zheng Zhi will say that he can keep it, and it will be a big deal. Seeing that Zheng Zhi couldn't hold back his answer, he was also relieved.
"Can't hold it? What should I do? Tong Guan asked again, his eyes scanning all the generals.
"Xianggong, move into the city, you can defend it!" Zheng Zhi quickly calculated in his heart, obviously there was a solution.
"If the wall is not closed, how can it be defended?" Tong Guan asked again.
Tong Guan encountered a military incident, and it seemed that he only discussed with Zheng Zhi alone, and the audience was full of veteran generals, so naturally some people were unhappy, such as Qin Zhou, who was begging for a favor, and his face was black at this time.
But it is a small kind of prince who is happy to see it, as long as Zheng Zhi is reasonable, he doesn't care who said the words, the breed has been in the northwest for generations, and now there is basically everything, and the status is almost laid. At this time, Zheng Zhi is brilliant, not that is, the breeder is brilliant.
"Hui Xianggong, the two-zhang wall, really can't stop the party people, the city wall is now only forty steps away from the vacancy, at this time with high wood stones can barely be blocked, more than three zhang of the city wall, the party cavalry has a way to the sky is also insurmountable!" Zheng Zhi had this intention in his heart.
The city wall was still forty or fifty meters away, and the gaps were plugged with long tree trunks, and then defended by bed crossbows and strong bows. The walled wall, which is higher than these two zhang, is much more secure. The enemy will probably only storm this place, and if it is a camp, 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry will surround and storm it, and there is basically no possibility of success.
"What do the generals think?" Tong Guan really hasn't seen the methods of the party to attack the village with his own eyes, and it is safe to ask everyone again.
Everyone in the big tent nodded.
"Tong Xianggong, only this method can resist the enemy!" The prince of the small species even directly expressed his support for Zheng Zhi's plan.
"Okay, that's it, give the order to enter the city!" Tong Guan can get a high position, that is, he can recognize and employ people, and not do the self-righteous things.
The order spread throughout the army, and the entire camp was busy, and the ordnance, grain, and grass camp tents were quickly moved to the city where it was still a construction site.
The camp built by Zheng Zhi before was already in flames at this time and was burned down.
The four gates that had not yet been installed were all blocked by boulders.
There was also a vacancy of forty meters, and countless huge trees were cut down by the army, erected and buried deep in the earth.
The city was empty, and there was not a single building, but it was full of tents. Grain and grass were placed under the city walls, and the rest of the slightly unimportant materials were placed in the open space in the city. Prevent enemy rockets from burning.
The party members who had nowhere to put them, after their hands and feet were tightly tied, they were tied to the battlements.
When the gap was blocked by a tree trunk more than ten meters high, more party captives were tied to the trunk, and from high to low, they were tied with party members, and these party captives seemed to become city walls.
After the trunk was erected, a load of soil was transported to the front, and the earthen platform was slowly erected behind the trunk, no matter how high it could be, it was also an obstacle for the party to attack the city, and it was also the help of the western soldiers to defend.
When the enemy arrives, it will take a day or two, and these party members will be bound like this until the end of the war. I don't know how many people will be left alive. The city was already full, and there was no room for these party captives.
All the vessels in the city that could hold water were filled with water for extinguishing the fire, and many of the troops were still digging wells to dig more groundwater in case of emergency.
All kinds of bows and crossbows were placed at the head of the city, and all the unused stones and trees were also moved to the head of the city.
With such an orderly arrangement, it can be seen that the Western Army has long been very experienced in defending the city.
The generals gathered at the city wall.
"Most of the party items have already set off yesterday, and Brother Cha is here in person!" The seed master Dao just received the news and stepped forward to report to Tong Guan.
Who is Chago? It is the younger brother of the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun, since the battle array madman Empress Dowager Xiao Liang was poisoned by the Liao envoys and the Wei Ming clan, it was Wei Ming Chage who was in charge of the Western Xia military power. Brother Cha's two sons, Renzhong was crowned King Pu, and Renli was crowned King Shu. This family is now also the most powerful person in Western Xia.
"Come on, come on, after all, a battle, victory, there will be no war in the northwest of my Great Song Dynasty from now on." Tong Guan's tone was heavy, his eyes were fixed on the north, and he seemed to be looking forward to the arrival of countless party cavalry in the north.
The party members from the north had not yet arrived, but a team of brocade-clothed knights rushed from the south.
When they approached the city, they found that there was no place to enter the city, and all the gates of the city were blocked, so they had to shout to the city walls: "The holy decree has arrived!" Open the gates and let me wait to enter the city! ”
The soldiers who heard the shouting were shocked, for the first time in their lives they had heard the word "holy decree". Hurry to report.
When Tong Guan heard this, he led everyone to the city wall of the south city quickly.
"It's a child?" More than a dozen knights in brocade clothes came out of the city and looked at the city, and seemed to recognize Tong Guan.
"It's Tong, but the official will has come?" Tong Guan asked back at the head of the city, but there was a hint of ominous premonition in his heart.
"The official family asked us to pass the decree to Tong Xianggong, please open the city gate quickly and let me enter the city to announce the decree." The leader of the mind is very anxious, from Tokyo day and night, just to complete this errand, I thought that I could find Tong Guan in Qinzhou, but I didn't catch up with Weizhou, and I chased it until the border where the bird doesn't, and I was already very irritable in my mind, but I didn't dare to show it in front of the eunuch Tong.
"The city gate has been blocked, and it must not be opened again at this time, bring a rope!" Of course, Tong Guan knew what was important and where he would open the blocked city gates.
More than a dozen angels in the city were embarrassed, but they didn't dare to refute the arrangement of the eunuch Tong. You can only tie ropes one by one and let the soldiers pull them up the city wall.
Wait until everyone goes up to the city, pat the dust on their bodies, and straighten their clothes. The leader took the decree from his bosom and prepared to read it.
Tong Guan had an ominous premonition in his heart, and stepped forward to stop the person who was about to read it, and said: "The military situation is urgent, don't read the holy decree, just read this scripture yourself." ”
After speaking, he took the holy decree from the man's hand and put it in his bosom.
This angel Qin Cha was dumbfounded, standing aside, where could he react, Tong Guan he had seen, Tong Guan in Tokyo, like a slave teasing in front of the official. Where did he think that Tong Guan in the northwest would snatch the holy decree by himself.
"Take the Qincha down and take it to a safe place to rest, the big battle is coming, don't hurt the Shangcha." Tong Guan commanded.
The soldiers around him stepped forward and dragged a group of messengers to the city, for fear that the big war would hurt the people sent by the Tokyo officials.
Tong Guan saw that everyone from Tokyo had gone down the city wall, so he opened the holy decree to look at it, and after looking at it for a moment, he laughed: "The official family let us fight bravely to kill the enemy, and if we return victorious, we will be rewarded!" ”
The crowd laughed in gratitude. But Zheng Zhi also felt that there was something wrong with things, and looked back at the little kind of Xianggong, and the two looked at each other, and they both seemed to feel a little strange. But he immediately separated his gaze, just as he didn't know.
With such a big war imminent, where can any other side be had.
Tong Guan also seemed to feel the eyes of Zheng Zhi and Seed Master Dao, but Quan Dang didn't see it, and led everyone down the city wall to the big tent.
Suddenly, Tong Guan, who was walking in front, stretched out his hand and pulled Zheng Zhi, who was half a step behind him, and leaned forward and said only one word: "Kill!" ”
Zheng Zhi nodded, turned around and left, naturally understanding what Tong Guan meant.
When he returned to the camp, he took Luda Shijin and other cronies and twenty or thirty soldiers, armed with sharp weapons, and went to Tokyo, which was placed in a safe place.
When the work was done, he was buried in the tent on the spot.
(Note: The palace was on fire, the emperor was superstitious, ordered Tong Guan to withdraw his troops, and Tong Guan falsely passed on the holy decree, all of which are historical facts, not made up by Lao Zhu)
