Chapter 420: Can't get into the city

The Tang soldiers in the city became nervous and prepared for battle. The captain who led the troops was strange in his heart, the Turkic soldiers did have signs of attacking the city tonight, but even if they wanted to attack, they would attack from the north, and it was impossible to run to the south gate!

There are only more than 300 Tang soldiers on the south wall, all of them are county soldiers, and there are hundreds of strong men in the city to help them defend the city during the day, but after dark, the strong men are transferred to the north city, and only the county soldiers are left here.

Because Shi Mutang expected that the Turkic soldiers would attack the city tonight, but there is still a difference between attacking the city and attacking the city, to put it bluntly, the city is a face job, the army rushed to the city, with the military might of the sky, scare the soldiers and civilians of Liangzhou, show the majesty of the Xihacha Department, after playing the majesty, Gu Duoer will retreat!

Therefore, Shi Mutang transferred most of the soldiers guarding the city and county, and all the strong men who helped in the battle, to the north city, waiting for Gudor's troops to attack the city, and it was estimated that at most they would fight once or twice, and then the Turkic soldiers would retreat. In this way, there are only more than 300 county soldiers left in Nancheng, strictly speaking, these people are not enough to guard the city wall!

The captain who led the troops looked out of the city by the moonlight, and I don't know how many people came outside the black city, but it seems that there are not a few, and in addition to the horse team in front, the back are all infantry! Infantry, it means that the city is going to be attacked, and the cavalry can't go up to the city wall!

The captain was so surprised that he stammered, and shouted: "I, I, this is the southern city, how did the Turkic soldiers attack this side, they should be in the northern city!" ”

The Tang soldiers thought, "What do you mean by should?" There are so many things that should be done! Don't care if it should be or not, the Turkic soldiers are coming, and they have to resist! ”

The sound of gongs for the alarm, one after another, the city guards all picked up their bows and arrows and aimed at the horse team rushing under the city!

Suddenly, the captain suddenly realized and shouted: "I understand, the Turkic soldiers are calling for the method of attacking the east and the west, they pretend to attack the northern city, but they send elite soldiers to attack the southern city, and as a result, our assassin Lord Shi has been fooled!" ”

The soldiers were reminded by him and felt that this was the case! Looking at the Turkic infantry in the distance, they are not walking fast, which shows that they have the bottom in their hearts, only the elite soldiers of a hundred battles will be so calm when they are in battle!

The most important thing is that these people didn't light up with torches, outside the range, it doesn't matter if they light torches, but they still haven't hit, what does this mean, this shows that these Turkic soldiers are good at night battles, without lighting torches, they can still be a formed march, only elite people can do this!

Elite soldiers, absolute elite soldiers, Turkic soldiers sent the most elite troops to Nancheng, we were fooled!

The lieutenant who had figured out Wei'er came to personally ran to the front fire pier, lit the pyre that had been poured with fire oil, and alerted Shi Mutang in the northern city, we were fooled, the main attack of the Turks was not in the north, but in the south!

The sky-high fire ignited in an instant, illuminating the south city gate, and the entire Liangzhou City saw the alarm signal in the south!

Wang Ping'an stopped the white dragon horse and said strangely: "Are the guards in the city crazy?" It was dark, and they lit a fire on the city walls...... Oops, this can't be an alarm signal, right? ”

Su Dingfang also said strangely: "Could it be that the Turkic soldiers are moving towards the southern city?" ”

Everyone is in a hurry, the Turkic soldiers have the ability to fight in the field, and they only have about a hundred people now, how can they resist the attack of thousands of Turkic soldiers? I can't all be captured and captured!

No one expected that such a big commotion in the city would be to guard against them! Their cavalry of more than 100 people, followed by the Turkic old and weak women and children of more than 1,000 people, can scare the Tang soldiers in the city like this, no one can think of who this thing will be!

Su Dingfang has rich combat experience, but no matter how powerful the general is, he would never have thought that such a thing would happen in Liangzhou! It is precisely because he is a powerful warrior that he thinks about things in a powerful way!

Su Dingfang shouted: "Scouts, scouts around, see which direction the Turkic soldiers are coming from!" ”

More than a dozen soldiers agreed, dispersed, and ran along the city wall in the east and west directions, respectively, to find out the movements of the Turkic soldiers!

And Wang Ping'an and they galloped wildly, at this time, they couldn't care about the Turks behind them, they were old and weak, and it was important for them to enter the city!

The Tang soldiers in the city were even more frightened when they saw the cavalry outside the city rushing towards them, look, that's right, it's really elite! These horses ridden by Turkic soldiers pretending to be the Tang Army are really good, they are all high-breed war horses, and they can run so fast that they can be killed in the blink of an eye!

The lieutenant is a bit two-eyed, and his head is not very bright. Of course, if he was a clever man, he would not have been sent here to guard the southern city, and he would have been transferred to an important place in the northern city!

He shouted: "Shoot the arrows, let them go, and don't let them go near the walls!" ”

The Tang soldiers in the city opened their bows and arrows, aimed at Wang Ping'an and them, and fired arrows in unison!

Wang Ping'an and the others were taken aback, what was going on, how did the guards in the city shoot their own people? Can't they see that we are also the Tang Army?

Di Renjie shouted: "Big brother, could it be that there is a spy in Liangzhou City, who has already opened the city gate and controlled the south gate?" ”

Su Dingfang also said: "No wonder Hou Ling didn't come back, it is estimated that he suffered a poisonous hand and was killed by Turkic spies!" ”

The soldiers are also in a hurry, Liangzhou is an important border town, and the Liangzhou soldiers are even more elite divisions, if there are no spies, how can the city gate be lost, there must be spies, this is absolutely right!

Wang Ping'an waved his horsewhip and shouted: "In the past, go up and shout and ask what is going on!" ”

One of the soldiers in the team shouted, "Men ask!" The one who spoke was none other than Niu Dali, who jumped off his horse, and with a shield in each hand, and ran to the gate of the city!

The captain of the city snorted and said, "Sure enough, someone is coming, there is no doubt that he will earn the city gate, no matter what he says, I don't believe it!" Prepare the boys, if he dares to come over, give him a hard blow! ”

Many Tang soldiers aimed their bows and arrows at Niu Dali, and when he entered the firing range, they wanted to shoot him into a hedgehog!

Niu Dali approached the city wall, and as he walked, he shouted: "Listen to the people in the city, we are from Chang'an, the prince of Zheliu County, the prince of Ping'an, the subordinates of the prince, I have something to see you Lord Shi, who are you, report your name!" ”

When the lieutenant heard this, he didn't believe it at all, and he said: "During the day, a person entered the city, saying that it was some of the prince's subordinates, and at night someone came to use the name of the prince to earn the city gate, and the news of these Turks is really well-informed!" ”

He waved his hand and said, "Whether it's true or not, you can't let them get close to the city wall anyway." Zheliu County Hou, is there such a Hou Ye, haven't you heard of it! ”

Tang Bing, who had a loud voice, shouted down: "Now that the war is going on, please stay away from the city wall, even if you want to enter the city, wait until after dawn!" "The words are more polite, and they are also doing things according to the rules, they are fighting again when it gets dark, and they don't open the city gates, that's right, even if this prince and prince are true, they can't blame them afterwards!

Niu Dali shouted again to prove his identity, but the Tang soldiers in the city said that he would not be allowed to approach the city wall, as long as he walked a little forward, it would be a flurry of arrows!

Wang Ping'an looked at the city gate and said: "Look at the situation, the city gate has not been lost, and no Turkic spies have entered the city, fortunately!" ”

Everyone also saw that the Tang soldiers in the city had just made such a big move, and they were actually guarding against them! Su Dingfang looked back at the Turkic old and weak who came with him, shook his head and said: "Let's just say, from these people, there is no benefit, the disadvantage is immediate, the defenders must think they are Turkic soldiers!" ”

Di Renjie said angrily: "The guards in the city are really inexplicable, even if they misunderstand us, they won't ignite the alarm, together with the fire, not only will they bring in to save the soldiers, but they will also attract the enemy!" ”

Ouyang Yi also said: "The guard above is a fool!" ”

Wang Ping'an waved his hand and said: "You can't say that the guard, it's dark, there are Turks behind us, and there is a war going on here, if I change it, I will also be cautious, then I may open the city gate and let people in!" He called the cow back.

Su Dingfang said: "But we can't wait here, the wild is too dangerous, we still have to go into the city!" ”

Di Renjie snorted, looked at Su Dingfang, and said, "General Su, how can we enter the city, the city gate here is not opened, could it be that the city gate elsewhere is open?" ”

He turned to Wang Ping'an and said, "Big brother, let's find a village to hide!" He leaned to Wang Ping'an's side and whispered: "We can't enter the city, the Turks behind are old and weak, although they are cumbersome, but they are talismans, as long as they are coerced, the Turkic soldiers will not dare to do anything to us!" ”

Wang Ping'an hesitated slightly, but did not answer immediately. Su Dingfang heard Di Renjie's words, and he also snorted and said, "Want to coerce these Turkic old and weak? Brother Di, if these old and weak are so important, the Turkic soldiers can still expel them, what is the use of coercing them? ”

The usual relationship between Su Dingfang and Di Renjie is not bad, but now the situation is a bit serious, the two have different opinions, and they can't help but quarrel!

Wang Ping'an waved his horsewhip on the ground and said, "When is this, what kind of mouth is fighting!" Go find a small village to hide, and wait until dawn to do something! He looked back at the old and weak women and children, and sighed: "That's it, they are all poor people, why bother with them, take them with you!" ”

Di Renjie glanced at Su Dingfang proudly, and thought, "What's the matter, eldest brother still listens to me, he is my eldest brother, not your eldest brother!" ”

Su Dingfang was silent, and thought: "Young man, in the end, he is soft-hearted, and now he is difficult to protect himself, and he has to manage others, I don't know how thick the sky is!" "He is a general who leads the troops, and he is naturally as hard as iron, and he is a good person who is not used to seeing Wang Ping'an!

The people waited for a while, and when the scouts returned, they said that no Turks had been found in the west of the city, so the horse team immediately went west to find the small village. After a short time, another scout came back, saying that there were no Turkic soldiers in the direction of Dongcheng, but everyone had already gone west, so they did not turn around!

After a while, Wang Ping'an saw a big town on the side of the road, so he ordered everyone to go in.

This is not far from the city, but a few miles away, not very safe, Wang Ping'an let the Turkic old and weak also enter the town, not allowed to raise a fire for warmth, let alone make noise, stay honestly, wait for dawn.

The Turkic old and weak were very obedient, and let them stay quietly, and they stayed quietly, and no one squeaked.

According to the custom of the Turks, whoever they belong to will listen to whomever they are, plus they are helpless people, Wang Ping'an's order, naturally everyone listens to him, and treats him as if he is a new leader!

But no matter how quiet the crowd is, what can't be avoided will still come. In less than an hour, the sound of horses' hooves was heard outside the town, and the sound of horses' hooves was overwhelming!
