Chapter Eighty-Three: Two Levels in One Day
Baishui closed the city gate slowly, and the door shaft still made a creaking sound from time to time, and the people below saw that the city gate was slowly opened, and they all showed excitement. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 At this moment, someone in the crowd whispered a question to the person next to him.
"General, what do we do now? Did you rush in? ”
This group of people was none other than some men and horses led by General Wei Yan, who had come from Pujia Pass to attack Baishui Pass and Guancheng. After General Wei Yan led his army to leave Pujia Pass, he opened the bag given by Shiyuan, which said that General Wei Yan led some people to disguise themselves as Baixin, and in the name of wanting to leave Hanzhong, he induced the enemy troops on Baishui Pass to open the city gate, and now this strategy has really succeeded. Shi Yuan came up with this strategy, and it was precisely because Cao Jun had been constantly moving the people of Hanzhong to other places since he arrived in Hanzhong, and after grasping this point, it was not difficult to come up with this strategy.
"There's no hurry. When the gate is fully open and we are inside, you will kill the soldiers at the gate quietly, and the people on the walls will not be able to see what is going on below, but you must remember not to make a sound. The rest of the men went with me to the top of the wall, and if the enemy would not let us go up, then we would rush over. Remember, both of you, when you hear us fighting the enemy inside, give the signal for the hidden troops outside to rush over. Wei Yan said without moving.
"Hey! Come on in. A soldier at the gate shouted to the people outside and waved his hand impatiently.
"Okay, okay, General." Wei Yan smiled and nodded and said.
After the group picked up the luggage on the ground, they walked towards the gate. After coming to the city gate, Wei Yan glanced at the soldiers just now, and suddenly saw these soldiers walking towards the soldiers at the city gate, and after arriving in front of these soldiers, one of them took out a cake and handed it to the soldiers at the city gate.
"General, these are some cakes made by the villains themselves, ready to be used as dry food on the road, the generals have worked hard, come and eat some cakes!" One of the people said.
"Haha. Good. You people really know how to do things, don't worry, we will take care of you along the way. ”
"Good, good. Then we will thank the generals. ”
I saw the Wei army under the city gate taking the cakes in the hands of the people one by one and gnawing them in a big gulp. Seeing that these soldiers were only concerned about eating bread and no longer paying attention to them, the people on the side immediately took out a short knife from the package, and with the other hand slammed the mouth of the soldier in front of them, only to hear a few pops, and one by one inserted the short knife into the enemy's body. The soldiers stared at each other with big eyes, and they couldn't understand how the people who had just been polite could suddenly want to kill them. After a while, when all the soldiers under the city gate were dead, the people put down their hands covering their mouths. Naturally, there was no sound during the whole process, and the people on the city wall naturally didn't know what was going on below.
There were two staircases near the city gate, separated from the city gate, and Wei Yan led the rest of the people from the stairs on the left side of the city gate to the top of the city wall. The journey was quite smooth, and no one stopped them, but when they reached the top of the city wall, and when they came to Captain Cao, Wei Yan nodded and said:
"Thank you, General, for letting us over to the city wall, I have a treasure here for the General to see."
"Haha, yes, take it out and let me see."
Suddenly, I saw Wei Yan take out a short knife from his body, and shouted loudly:
"It's this razor-sharp sword! Do it! ”
At such a close distance, after Wei Yan took out the short knife, he slashed forward without waiting for Captain Cao in front of him to make any movement, only to hear a bang, a human head fell to the ground and rolled to the side, and a bloody arrow spurted out of his neck. The Cao soldiers on the city wall were stunned one by one for a while, staring at what had just happened with big eyes, and before these soldiers could react, the people who came to the city wall took out a handful of weapons from their bodies and packages and killed the soldiers next to them. When the people under the city gate heard the shouts of murder from above, they took out a bow and arrow, went outside the city gate, and shot an arrow into the sky. Suddenly, I saw thousands of troops rushing out of the woods outside Baishui Pass, and under the leadership of Huang Quan, they shouted and rushed towards Baishui Pass.
The Shu army on the city wall, under the leadership of Wei Yan, was desperate to kill the enemy one by one. After the enemy army on the city wall was killed by their leader, the morale of the army was affected, and in addition, it was a sneak attack, and they were completely powerless for a while. In less than a meal, most of the enemy troops on the city wall were killed, and the rest laid down their weapons and surrendered, at this time the Shu army outside also rushed in, and those who were ready to go to the city wall of the Wei army to fight, just a battle, the Wei army in the pass showed no support, after a short while, almost all were wiped out, and the remaining some also threw down their weapons and surrendered.
There were cheers of victory in Baishui Pass, and everyone including Wei Yan and Huang Quan laughed happily, taking Baishui Pass, dozens of people were killed and injured in the whole process, it can be said that there are no bloodless soldiers! After a while, Wei Yan asked the soldiers to gather all the surrendered soldiers, and when they came to these surrendered soldiers, Wei Yan said with a smile:
"Is any of you willing to surrender to our army? Do you know any of the defenders in Sekiki? Acquaintances quickly stand up for themselves, otherwise none of you will survive. Wei Yan's tone of voice became more and more stern.
None of the surrounding soldiers stood up, and it is estimated that no one wants to make a bird!
"Oh, yes! It seems that none of them know the defenders in the city, so what's the use of keeping you. Come on, pull out these useless waste people who only waste food. Wei Yan saw that no one took the initiative to stand up, and he was also angry.
After hearing the general's words, the surrounding soldiers immediately walked over to these soldiers one by one, and then grabbed one by one, and were about to walk out, when at this moment, a soldier suddenly shouted:
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I know a Qu Chang in Guancheng, don't kill me! I am old and young, and the whole family depends on me for food! Please, don't kill me. ”
Wei Yan saw that a person took the initiative to stand up and said that he knew the defenders in Guancheng, so he ordered the surrounding soldiers to stop, and it seemed that he really had to use some ruthlessness.
"Come, bring some bread and give it to this man."
After Wei Yan finished speaking, a guard came from behind him, took out a cake and handed it to this person. Seeing what he had to eat, the soldier grabbed the cake and devoured it. The soldiers on the side were also staring at this soldier one by one at this time, thinking in their hearts, if I knew that there was bread to eat, I would have just stood up.
"General, I also know the defenders in Guancheng."
"General, I also know a Qu Chang in Guancheng."
When the soldiers saw that the person had bread to eat just now, they also took the initiative to stand up one by one and said that they knew the people in the city.
When Wei Yan saw these moves, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he said coldly:
"None of you stood up just now, but now you see that there are benefits and you are all vying to stand up, it's too late. Come on, put these people down for me, those who are willing to follow us will stay, and those who are unwilling will let them go. ”
After a while, after seeing the soldier finish eating the bread, Wei Yan came to this person and said to him with a smile:
"Now that we've finished eating, come with us!"
"General, on... Above... Where to go? ”
"Sekijo! Or what do you think? ”
"I wonder what the general wants the little one to do?"
"You'll find out in a moment. You just need to know that your life is in my hands now, and I can take it whenever I want, but don't worry, as long as you cooperate with me, I won't hurt you. ”
Half an hour later, Huang Quan came from a distance and came to Wei Yan.
"Wen Chang, the people in Baishui Pass have been settled, these people originally belonged to Hanzhong here, after the Wei army came, the people here continued to move to other places, these people are very afraid of the Wei army, now we have defeated the Wei army, occupied here, the people are happy, so it took almost no effort to settle these people, haha!"
"Good. Gong Heng, now that we have obtained Baishui Pass, we should act in accordance with the second strategy given by the military advisor to seize Guancheng, for the sake of today, we need to rush to Guancheng as soon as possible, so that the news of the occupation of Baishui Pass will not reach there and it will not be conducive to our army's capture of Guancheng, so I have decided to set off with half of the sergeants and strive to take Guancheng today. Gongheng, Baishuiguan will be handed over to you. ”
Huang Quan saw that Wei Yan had already decided, so there was nothing to say. Moreover, Wei Yan still acted according to the strategy of the military division, then there would be no problem, and the defenders in Guancheng were not as many as Baishui Pass, there were only a few hundred people, Wei Yan led more than 2,000 troops to go, even if it was a strong attack, it should be no problem to take Guancheng in a short time.
"Well, since the chief has already decided, then I will wait for the good news of the chief in Baishuiguan."
After another half an hour, Wei Yan saw that the soldiers were almost resting, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to set off to capture Guancheng, and the soldier who had just surrendered was taken by Wei Yan to his side.
When Wei Yan led the soldiers to a few hundred meters away from the city, he ordered the soldiers to hide in the woods next to them, and then wait for their signal. Later, Wei Yan selected fifty strong soldiers from the army, let these soldiers wear the clothes of the Wei army, and went to Guancheng with him, and walked to the city of Guancheng, and Wei Yan himself was also wearing a Wei army's clothes at this time.
After arriving at the bottom of the gate of Guancheng, the group stopped, it was estimated that the soldiers above the city wall saw these people, and Wei Yan heard the people above shouting:
"What are you people doing in Sekiki?"
This is, the Wei soldier next to Wei Yan raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the city wall, it really happened that the person who spoke just now was none other than the Qu Chang he said.
"Wang's head, you don't know me anymore, I'm Hu Er! We drank together two days ago. ”
Hu Er said with a smile, Hu Er smiled on his face, but he was really scared in his heart, because a sharp knife was on his waist at this time.
