Chapter 114: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
This night, the city of Yizhou was unusually silent. There were only two drunken drinkers, but now they were lying on the ground and would never get up again. The road from Hongchang Inn to Zhizhou Mansion is not too far, but the cloth hanging in front of several shops is windless and automatic. There's always a reason, it's like a black shadow running through below like the wind.
"Chief, there are officers and soldiers on three sides outside the house, but there is no at the back door." A man in black whispered in the shadow of the wall.
The prefect's mansion was lively, and the soldiers held torches a few steps to illuminate half of the sky. The black-clad leader waved his hand back, hid down the alley, and headed for the back door.
The back door was unguarded, but it was a little unsettling. The leader came out of the shadows and said in a deep voice, "They are already prepared, otherwise they would not have left here for us to enter." After a pause, he waved his hand and said, "Even if you are prepared, you must leave no one." ”
The few people below set up a ladder, and the two black-clothed men went up vertically, and just turned over the courtyard wall, but fell down without a sound. The rest of the crowd hurriedly scattered and hidden.
After a while, there was no movement in the courtyard, and the man in black came over.
"Chief, they're poisoned." A man in black squatted on the ground and looked up.
The chief came and looked at them, and saw that their palms were blackened, and their lips were blue. He bowed his head and said to himself, "What a powerful poisonous skill." ”
Looking up at the wall, he said in a deep voice: "Throw the bodies of the two of them on the wall, remember not to touch the wall." ”
The man in black stepped on the corpses of his two companions and turned into the courtyard, a man in the pavilion was leisurely sipping tea, a candle was placed on the stone table, and behind the man a woman in a strong suit stood aside, dressed in green clothes, holding a short sword in each hand.
"In August, you didn't arrange it perfectly, so you only turned it over two." Shadowless looked back and said with a light smile.
"If it's all down, what do you do?" August stared at the front and said expressionlessly.
Shadowless snorted, stood up, and raised the long sword in his hand to look at the men in black.
"Up." The leader waved his hand, and the men in black scattered and rushed inside.
Shadowless drew his long sword and jumped out of the pavilion, August also followed out and pounced on the man in black, and a group of dark spirits also rushed out of the shadows, each intercepting their opponents and fighting, and there was a burst of killing in the courtyard for a while.
The leader of the men in black fought with Shadowless, and Shadowless attacked and blocked with a long sword, although he was well protected, he could not hurt the leader. When it was August, the two short swords were ruthless, and seeing that they had slashed a man in black to the ground, and were about to take his life, two men in black jumped on the side, and attacked her together.
Wuying didn't expect that the martial arts of these black-clothed people were so high, and the dark spirits couldn't have the upper hand compared to them. And he didn't expect that there would be so many people in black, so he had to grit his teeth and insist, hoping that the soldiers at the front door would rush to support when they heard the sound of fighting.
The leader of the men in black wielded a long knife and slashed at Shadowless's abdomen with a backhand from bottom to top, and Shadowless hurriedly stretched out his sword to block it. Who knew that the leader was just making a false move, and before the swords touched, the blade turned but stabbed straight over, and the startled shadowless carried a light skill, and his feet moved backwards without leaving the ground. The leader was stunned, the opponent was actually a master of light skills, and he took a step forward and raised his knife to cut down.
With a "dang" sound, the raised steel knife was swept away by something, and the leader looked around, but saw a child standing on the stone table in the pavilion, holding a bow in his hand.
"Shooting star, shoot the man in black." Seeing the meteor coming, Luck raised his sword and shouted, and ran towards the leader again.
"Okay." The meteor responded, and the arrow was shot.
"Whoosh, whoosh." One after the other, one after the other. The man in black in the fight didn't notice that there would be a hidden arrow at all, and the arrows of the meteor were too fast, even if he was careful, he might not be able to dodge. The arrows killed people, and the screams of the men in black were heard one after another.
Seeing that there was an extra child, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw, withdraw quickly." With a flick of the knife, he ran towards the back wall.
Shadowless and Dark Spirits then covered up, and only a few people escaped under the wall, and the rest were slashed under the corner.
Shadowless summoned people to clean up, killing twenty-one men in black, killing six people and wounding eight others. Twelve of them had arrows stuck in their chests. Wuying walked over and rubbed Meteor's head, and said with a smile: "Yes, fortunately, with you, you can go to the battlefield." ”
Meteor grinned.
"Yuanhang, now that Gu Yu is gone, Xu Hai is dead, and there are almost no unscrupulous generals in the city, our army can take advantage of this time to attack the city, and it will definitely be broken in one fell swoop." Situ Hao sat behind the big case and discussed with Yuanhang.
Yuanhang nodded and replied: "This is true, but I am afraid that there will be too many casualties in the strong attack." ”
Situ Hao got up and said, "What is your plan?" ”
"Father-in-law, it's better to be like this." Yuanhang came over, thought for a while, and said: "On the grounds that the deputy commander was killed and the division was unfavorable, we pretended to withdraw our troops and lure the enemy out of the city. If it succeeds, you can surround the enemy, and then change into the armor of Xiaoliang soldiers to deceive the city gate. If not, the only way to do this is to attack the city on a certain day. ”
Situ Hao nodded and praised: "It's a good way, but the previous attack on the camp, they lost their troops, will they still go out of the city?" ”
"It's hard to say, just give it a try." Yuanhang replied shaking his head.
In Guyu City, Li Heyuan kicked over the table, and the teacup on the table fell to the ground and shattered. A punch slammed into the face of the soldier next to him, sending the soldier flying straight out.
"Ye Yuanhang, I want to break your body into ten thousand pieces." Li Heyuan's eyes were angry, his whole body trembled with anger, and the bones clenched into fists with his hands rattled. waited left and right, but waited for Xu Hai's corpse and knew that he had been tricked.
"General, the spies are coming to report that the Liang army is about to withdraw." A soldier knelt on one knee and prayed.
"What? Withdrawal! Li Heyuan glared angrily.
"Go and ask General Wang Ke." Calming his breath, he said to his own soldiers.
Li Heyuan held his chin in one hand and kept walking back and forth. Wang Ke followed behind him and kept urging.
"General, this is an opportunity."
"Let me think again." Li Heyuan frowned and shook his head and said.
"General, don't miss the opportunity!"
"General Wang, that Ye Yuanhang is scheming, don't forget the lesson of the last time!"
"The general is saying they are trying to lure us out of the city?" When Wang Ke heard the mention of the night attack, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"Come, probe, send more people." Li Heyuan turned around and commanded. looked at Wang Ke again and said, "General, don't worry, we can't be too late to chase after the exact news." ”
"Hmm." Wang Ke also nodded in response.
Thirty miles outside Guyu City, there is a fork in the road. To the right leads to Hangun, and to the left you enter the forest. At this time, the soldiers and horses of Yizhou led by Yuanhang were resting here.
"My lord, I didn't see the enemy chasing after me, but a team of scouting horses passed." The soldier came and said.
Yuanhang nodded and ordered: "Continue to investigate, do not reveal your whereabouts." ”
Looking up at the surrounding mountains, this deep valley is really a good place to hide soldiers, although it is far away from the official road, but there are such high mountains and dense forests, even if there are tens of thousands of soldiers hidden, it is not a problem.
It was nearly dusk, and I faintly heard a sound in the distance, and Yuanhang and the others immediately cheered up.
"My lord, the enemy army chased in the direction of Han County, and there were about 20,000 people." The Sentinel came again to give a report.
"Good! The order went down, and after all the enemy troops had passed, the road was immediately blocked, and no one was allowed to escape back to Guyu City. "Yuanhang ordered Sun Ke to lead people to ambush the left side of the official road, Gu Xin to ambush the right side, and he took Li Mo to the official road.
I waited for two hours, and it was almost late at night, before I waited for Xiao Liang's soldiers and horses to come back from the rout. With an order, the soldiers and horses of Yizhou came out in several places, and the battle ended in half an hour. Yuanhang and Situ Hao converged, only to know that they had captured the enemy general Wang Ke alive, killed more than 10,000 enemy troops, and thousands of Xiaoliang soldiers surrendered. Yuanhang ordered the soldiers to change into Xiao Liang armor, and asked Wang Ke to bring him up.
"General Wang, let's meet again." Yuanhang rode on the horse, and looked at Wang Ke who was tied up with five flowers with a smile. Behind him were two soldiers who pressed their hands on his shoulders.
"Humph!" This king has a few backbones, twists his head, and no longer cares.
"Hehe, you're my lucky general. If it weren't for you, not only would I not be able to get Gu Xin, but I wouldn't be able to break Gu Yu City. Let's go, I have to wronged you this time. Yuanhang laughed a few times, turned his head to Situ Hao and said: "Marshal, I will deceive the city gate, and you will lead the soldiers to follow, and after entering the city, I will let the soldiers lose their helmets, but don't kill each other." ”
"Don't worry, you won't hurt your own people." Situ Hao nodded again and again.
Yuanhang led people to Guyu City, and ordered people to untie the ropes on Wang Ke's body and knock him unconscious. Sun Ke raised his head and shouted towards the city: "Hurry up and open the door, General Wang is wounded." ”
The soldiers in the city could only vaguely see that the people below were wearing Xiaoliang uniforms, and a general shouted downward, "Please General Wang come out and answer." ”
Sun Ke took a torch, illuminated Wang Ke's face, and shouted: "Look carefully above, General Wang is injured and needs urgent treatment, and it cannot be delayed." ”
"It's really General Wang." Seeing that Wang Ke was unconscious, the general of the city hurriedly turned around and ordered: "Open the city gate and welcome General Wang into the city." ”
"Have you ordered your brothers?" Yuanhang turned sideways and asked Li Mo in a whisper, but his nervous voice trembled a little. Although I have experienced several small battles, I have never been so close to the enemy, and I can't help but shake my legs. Kuroko thought he was going to move forward on his own, so he slowly walked out of the group, and was so frightened that he quickly pulled the reins.
"Your Excellency, rest assured, you have all been instructed, only control the city gate, and wait for the marshal and soldiers." Limo replied in as low a voice as possible. As he spoke, he scanned around, for fear that the soldiers in the city would hear.
The gate of Guyu City slowly opened, and the light of the torches inside shone through the crack in the door, and gradually shone on Yuanhang's face, a face that saw hope, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
"Don't open the door, close it quickly!" Suddenly there was a loud shout from inside, and the city gate, which was only half open, creaked and stopped.
