CHAPTER 72 Closed Doors

Huang Yue was arranged by Xu Shu to serve as a reserve messenger at the East City Gate, which was now guarded by Zhao Yun. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Since Jingjing was arranged to go to the South City Gate, Xu Shu found a maid from his home to wait for Huang Yue, and accompanied her to rest and wait in a side room near the East City Gate.

Huang Yue couldn't sit still and couldn't sleep, thinking about Ge Liang, Jingjing, and Xiaobao and Zhuge Jun, now that the Cao army has surrounded Jiangling City, maybe he will attack tonight? I don't know if the door panels I designed can play a big role? I've heard that it's all ready on the castle tower, so I'd like to check it out.

The maidservant persuaded her not to go, the war is all a man's business, what are we women doing to see it, we are afraid to look at it.

Huang Yue didn't want to talk to her, this girl was a typical ancient maid, she was boring to talk and do things in a regular manner, unlike Jingjing, although she was also a maidservant, she seemed to have been close to Huang Yueying since she was a child, and sometimes she didn't talk big or small, but she made herself, a person in the 21st century, feel close. She walked to the door and said to the sergeant guarding there, "Go and tell General Zhao Zilong that I have something important to look for him." ”

The sergeant was specially assigned to Ge Liang, and when he heard Huang Yue's order, he didn't dare to disobey it, and ran to the city gate tower to pass a message to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun has been conscientiously patrolling the city gate tower, and from time to time told the sentry to pay attention to observe and not to fall asleep, and when he heard the sergeant's words, he was afraid that the military master's wife would really have something important, so he nodded and said: "Please wait a moment, Madame, I will go down to see him after I explain here." ”

The sergeant replied, "Madame said that she would inform the general first, and if the general allowed it, she would come to the general later." ”

"Oh," Zhao Yun said busily when he heard this, "Then please madam, Zhao Zilong is waiting here." ”

Huang Yue went up to the city tower and bowed to Zhao Yun: "The little woman greets General Zhao." ”

Zhao Yun hurriedly returned the salute: "Please don't make this big gift, Zhao Yun can't afford it." ”

Huang Yue wanted to salute again: "General Zhao stuck to his post late at night, and worked hard to defend General Zuo and the people of Jiangling, so it is natural for him to be worshiped by the little girl." ”

Zhao Yun was anxious, and bowed back again: "Please don't kill Zhao Yun." I don't know what instructions my wife gave when she came late at night. ”

"Don't dare." Huang Yue is idle, "I just want to see how the city defense is prepared, General Zhao won't blame me for a woman interfering in military affairs, right?" ”

Zhao Yun had already heard that this lady had made a lot of new things, and immediately replied: "Now that the anti-climbing equipment designed by Mrs. has been stacked on the city wall, Madame may wish to check it out, will there be anything wrong." ”

Huang Yue was waiting for this sentence, and hurriedly said to Zhao Yun: "Can General Zhao take me to take a look?" ”

"Yes. Madame, please! Zhao Yun felt that it was appropriate to ask the inventor to inspect and guide him.

Huang Yue walked on the passage of the city wall for a while, and found that she was stepping on the planks one after another, and it seemed that she was indeed well prepared, but she didn't have the heart to go down to sleep now, so she had nothing to say: "May I ask where General Zhao is from?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, Zhao Yun is a person from Changshan Zhending."

"How long has the general been with the lord?"

……

Huang Yue said a few more words, Zhao Yun didn't want to talk nonsense: "Madam, now that the enemy army is outside the city, the battle is about to break out, and the military situation is urgent, if Madame has nothing important, please let Zhao Yun answer these questions another day?" ”

Although he knew that it was better to be careful in wartime, Huang Yue felt that before he could say a few words, Zhao Yun was in a hurry to drive himself down, and when he was depressed, a sergeant shouted: "There seems to be something on the north gate, and the fire is lit." ”

Zhao Yun turned his head to look, but no, countless torches were lit on the city tower over there, and he hurriedly instructed the soldiers: "Cao's army is attacking the city, everyone hurry up and get ready!" ”

"Madam, please hurry down the tower." Zhao Yun didn't want to listen to Huang Yue idle here anymore no matter what.

Huang Yue still wished that there would be a fight here immediately, and hurriedly said to Zhao Yun: "I, I'll go to the sergeant in charge of liaison at the city gatehouse." She thought that it was best to be able to operate it herself for the first time, and she wanted to see if the door panel she designed was good.

Zhao Yun instructed the sergeant to strengthen the vigilance, and when he saw that there was no movement outside the city on his side, he ran to the back of the city gate tower and asked how the situation was at the north gate and whether he would need support.

Huang Yue said lightly: "It's okay, although General Zuo in the city said that there is a Cao army attacking the city at the north gate, but he just wants us to strengthen our vigilance, don't worry." Hey, General Zhao, is there any movement on our side? ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "There is no movement for the time being, and I asked them to throw a few torches under the city just now, but I didn't see anything under the city." ”

Huang Yue asked: "Didn't you say that siege warfare is all about feints and main attacks?" The enemy shouldn't attack in just one direction, right? ”

"What Madame said is that in addition to the North Gate, there will definitely be Cao troops attacking from other directions, and I have instructed the sergeants to get ready." Of course, Zhao Yun understands these truths.

Zhao Yun, who returned to the city wall, continued to inspect, and suddenly a sergeant came to report: "There seems to be movement in the direction of the southeast corner." ”

Zhao Yun hurriedly led a team of men and horses to the southeast corner, and as soon as he arrived there, the sergeant who was guarding here reported to him: "I have heard the sound of people walking under the city.

Before Zhao Yun could speak, he suddenly saw an iron hook on the battlement, and a rope was attached to it, and immediately understood that the enemy was ready to start climbing the wall just now, so he hurriedly took the torch from the sergeant and threw it down, and suddenly found that many people were wandering around under the city wall to avoid the firelight.

Sure enough, the enemy wanted to sneak attack, Zhao Yun hurriedly ordered to mobilize people here, and at the same time, the vigilance must be strengthened everywhere, increase the number of times to throw torches under the city to observe, and let people notify Huang Yue to send a message to the city's general signal tower.

Zhang He and Zhu Ling, who had been waiting for news outside the east city gate, heard that the attack team sent to the corner had been discovered, and saw countless torches lit up on the city wall, so they simply didn't dodge, and ordered the sergeants to light torches and erect stairs to carry out a strong attack - the east city gate and the north city gate were attacked together, and I believe that the reserve forces of the defenders in the city will be sent to these two city gates, so that the success rate of the sneak attack of Zhang Liao and Lu Zhao at the west city gate has greatly increased.

Cao's archers shot arrows at the tower, and the infantry set up stairs and scrambled to climb the city walls.

The sergeant who climbed first saw that he was about to reach the battlements, and was about to rush up with a lot of energy, when he suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, and a wide wooden plank was covered from the top of his head, and when he was frightened, he saw a face stretched out of the square hole stuck in the staircase in the middle of the plank and looked at him, and then the person retreated to the cloud, and a big stone with a thick rope tied behind it smashed down on the head, and suddenly with a miserable scream, he fell from a height of several feet, and even took the brother behind him down.

The garrison pulled the rope and pulled the stone back - the weapons are precious, and the resources in the city must be cherished, and this battle will not be fought for a long time.

Huang Yue didn't care about the battlefield discipline, so he had already rushed to the front from the communication office behind the city tower, and asked the sergeants excitedly: "How is it?" Is this thing any good? ”

The soldiers defending the city replied one by one that it was easy to use, and some people naughtily leaned on the door panel and knocked on the door panel: "Hey, hey, hey! Is there anyone else down there? If you want to come up, knock on the door first. ”
