Chapter 171: The Enemy's Strategy
It was only the first day, and when Yuan Shu's army was not fully prepared, the soldiers defending the city lost nearly eight hundred people, almost one-sixth of them, which made Huang Cong a little difficult to accept. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]
Especially those strong men, they only fought with the Yangzhou soldiers for less than a quarter of an hour, but the attrition reached more than 500. Although only a hundred of those strong men died, those who were injured could no longer be sent to the city wall.
"My lord, when are those people going to be out of the city?" Just when Huang Cong was standing on the city wall, Zhu Yu appeared beside Huang Cong and asked.
Huang Cong turned his head when he heard the voice, and found Zhu Yu, so he smiled at Zhu Yu and said, "I'll leave this matter to you to arrange, I can see that they all listen to you." ”
Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded and went to arrange for those people to go out of the city.
"Brother Zhu, did that lord really let us out of the city?" A prisoner looked at Zhu Yu at this time and asked in disbelief. You know, as long as they go out, who knows what they're going to do?
Zhu Yu glanced at this person and said, "If you don't let you out, why do you want to release you from prison?" ”
"Hehe, as long as the master goes out, I will take care of him Lord Huang and Lord Lan, can he still control me?" At this time, one of the prisoners next to him said with a smile. As long as he goes out, whether there is anyone to supervise him, he doesn't bother to care whether Yang Zhai City will be broken by Yuan Shu's army.
"Fourth, if I'm not mistaken, your home is in Xiaohe Village, fifteen miles west of the city." Zhu Yu squinted his eyes and looked at the prisoner named Lao Si who spoke just now.
When the fourth child heard Zhu Yu's words, the smile on his face immediately froze, and soon turned into an angry face, and said, "Boss Zhu, what do you mean?" If you don't care about your family, do you want to break the rules? ”
Zhu Yu was not afraid of the fourth child's anger at all, but stepped forward and patted the fourth child's face with his right hand, and said: "Fourth, you heard clearly, as long as you dare to escape, or tell Yuan Shu, then I, Zhu Yu, promise that if you flee anywhere, I can kill you." I am capable of it, you all know. The last sentence is like saying to everyone.
"Boss Zhu, count you ruthless. It's just that you can hear clearly, if something happens to my family, then everyone will die together. The fourth child listened to Zhu Yu's words, and was speechless for a long time, and finally pointed at Zhu Yu and said.
Zhu Yu ignored the fourth child at all, looked at the others, and said, "Do you all understand what needs to be done?" ”
"I see, I've been told by adults before. First, burn grain and grass; second, murder; Thirdly, eh, what is the third? When a prisoner heard Zhu Yu's questioning, he quickly replied. It's just that I don't know if he didn't listen carefully to the words of the soldiers who gave them orders before, or if he really forgot it, and he didn't remember what he was going to do at the third point.
Zhu Yu glanced at the man and said speechlessly: "I'll tell you again, first, burn grain and grass; second, murder; Third, spread rumors. ”
"Oh, yes, yes, spread rumors. It's just Brother Zhu, how should this rumor be spread? After Zhu Yu finished speaking, the previous person suddenly realized.
Zhu Yu looked at the man for a long time, and then said suspiciously: "I said Niu Wa, you can't even remember a sentence, and now you don't even know how to spread rumors, how did you cheat money in the first place?" And if I'm not mistaken, of all the people in this, you cheated the most money, right? ”
The cow baby listened to Zhu Yu's words, scratched her scalp embarrassedly, and said, "That, Brother Zhu, this, hehe......"
Zhu Yu looked at Niu Wa and soon stopped talking to him, and Zhu Yu was also afraid of being deceived. Don't look at Niu Wa's simple appearance, but he was stunned that he cheated a lot of money, and in the end, if he hadn't deceived the local big family, he wouldn't have been caught by the government.
"Not much to say, in short, after you go to Yuan Shu's military camp, the main thing is to attack and disturb. As long as they don't have a good rest, then your mission is complete. Zhu Yu looked at the more than fifty people in front of him and said. Some people may be surprised when they see this, there are nearly 100 prisoners who were originally pulled out by Huang Cong, is there so many death row prisoners in Yang Zhai? Indeed, Yang Zhai has not executed a prisoner for ten years, and Zhu Yuke is the "old man" who has been imprisoned for ten years.
After those people changed into the clothes and armor of the Yangzhou army, they hung themselves from the city wall one by one with hanging baskets. The men went down and quickly disappeared into the night.
Yuan Shu was worried that someone in Yangzhai City would escape, so he ordered camps to be set up outside the four gates. And Yuan Shu himself is still at the east gate of Yangzhai City. Therefore, the Yuan Shu military camp outside the east gate was also the most heavily guarded, and then it happened that those prisoners went to the military camp outside the west gate (which door is this?). )。
"Fourth brother, what do you think we should do?" After going out, everyone lurked to a position that was only a hundred cloths away from Yuan Shu's military camp, and then someone asked the fourth child.
The fourth brother watched it for a long time, and then he didn't come up with a way. But seeing that everyone was staring at him, the fourth child was embarrassed to say that he didn't know what to do. "Why don't you have someone go up and try to kill that sentry?"
At this time, suddenly, a person walked over from the camp, and everyone looked at the person who came over, and suddenly became nervous, and some people even began to tremble with the hand holding the handle of the knife, and it is estimated that they will not be able to pull out the knife for a while.
After the man walked in, a sharp-eyed person realized that this person was actually a cow baby. "Niu Wa, why did you come from over there?"
"I don't think you're going to come over, so I'll call you back." Niu Wa heard someone ask herself, so she replied, as if a qiē was a matter of course.
Everyone was very puzzled when they heard Niu Wa say this, but they still got up and followed Niu Wa towards the barracks. When everyone passed by the sentry, someone could clearly see that the two sentries were looking at Niu Wa, who was simply looking at a great benefactor. And someone else heard the following conversation:
"Third son, how much silver did you just give to the two adults?"
"Hehe, I gave five taels, what about you?"
"I gave eight taels."
"Eight taels? Where did you get so much silver? ”
"I just borrowed three taels of silver."
"Alas, why am I so stupid, why don't I know to borrow it."
"Don't sigh, aren't you going to suffer a small loss. Peace of mind on duty, that lord will come back again. ”
Listening to these conversations, the prisoners' jaws dropped. What's going on? It was only a long time before Niu Bao came over, and he was able to let the sentry let them into the barracks, and he was willing to give Niu Wa silver, and he was not happy to give it less. Everyone looked at the cow baby who was walking in the front, and their eyes were different.
When they arrived at the camp, everyone stopped, and the fourth looked at them and said, "Now, everyone starts to act and set fire to kill people." ”
As soon as everyone heard what the fourth master said, they immediately dispersed, either in groups of three or five, or in groups of yankuai. And at this time, everyone found out again, why is the cow baby gone?
Niu Wa quietly walked away alone when she heard the fourth child say that she acted separately, and Niu Wa was still thinking while walking: How can such a big military camp not even have a place to gamble? Thinking about it, suddenly the cow baby was discovered.
The person who found Niu Wa was really Zhang Xun, the person in charge of the Chengxi Battalion of the Yangzhou Army, Zhang Xun was leading people to inspect the camp at this time, and suddenly found Niu Wa, the restless master, and stopped Niu Wa.
The cow baby didn't know if it was really stupid or fake, after seeing Zhang Xun with more than a dozen people to stop him, he not only didn't run, but instead came up and asked, "This adult, I just want to ask you something." Do you know which tent to gamble money in? ”
As soon as Niu Wa said this, the guards behind Zhang Xun couldn't help but almost laugh, and their faces were flushed. Asking Zhang Xun which tent is gambling money, isn't this looking for death?
Zhang Xun was also stunned by the question, what is the situation with this Nima? A soldier grabbed the main general and asked where I could gamble money, I go, where did the soldier come from so boldly? "How can you gamble money in the barracks, this is a violation of military discipline." Zhang Xun didn't get angry, he just wanted to tease this little soldier.
"How is that possible?" Niu Wa glanced at Zhang Xun disdainfully, and then took out the thirteen taels of silver that she had just cheated out and said, "I just went to the thatched house, and then I forgot which tent it was." Otherwise, how could I have so much money? ”
Zhang Xun originally thought that it was just a small soldier who was playful, but then he happened to bump into him, which could be used to amuse him. But he didn't expect that this little soldier even took out the evidence, Zhang Xun was furious at this time, and said to the soldiers behind: "Check it for me to see which tent is gambling." ”
Zhang Xun's personal soldiers saw that Zhang Xun was really angry at this time, and suddenly they became tighter one by one, and hurriedly separated to find them. Niu Wa looked at this situation and was not worried at all, but said: "Yes, yes, let your people find it faster, and when they find it, half of the money I earn will be shared with you." ”
Zhang Xun looked at Niu Wa, it stands to reason that this little soldier also violated military discipline, but Zhang Xun didn't mean to arrest him, he just felt that this little soldier was very funny, and it was just right to be his own soldier, and he didn't ask how his combat effectiveness was, but there was definitely no second person who could compare to it when he used it for fun.
The people sent by Zhang Xun made a fuss in the whole barracks, and those prisoners didn't dare to move when they heard such a big movement outside, but when those Zhang Xun's personal soldiers went to the camp tent to check, they took the opportunity to kill those personal soldiers. However, there were still tents that did not leave people, and Zhang Xun's personal soldiers discovered the situation.
"General, a spy has infiltrated the barracks." The person who found the body in the tent hurriedly ran out and reported to Zhang Xun.
When Zhang Xun heard this, this matter became even bigger, and he hurriedly asked people to beat the drum and gather the army. The cow baby was also stunned, so she followed Zhang Xun, and he went wherever Zhang Xun went.
When the fourth child saw that his deeds were revealed, they began to set fire, and there was a lot of trouble.
The people in the two military camps in the south and north of the city saw the fire coming out of the military camp in the west of the city, and heard the sound of drums, so they hurriedly gathered the army and went to the west of the city to check, and at the same time did not forget to send people to the east of the city to report. xh118
