Chapter Ninety-Five: Night Attack on Aocang

In ancient times, there were not many places where the big river could cross the army, nothing more than Pusaka, Fengling, Pingyin, and White Horse. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ao Cang is not one of them, but Ao Cang is at the intersection of the great river and the chasm. After entering the chasm from the great river, the water gradually slows down. It was repaired by the Ao Cang Order of the past dynasties, and there was a good wharf for loading and unloading grain.

The 3,000 guards were ready to attack Aocang.

When the Chu army attacked Xingyang, there had already been partial divisions attacking and harassing Aocang many times, but fortunately, the city of Aocang was small and strong, and it was on the mountain. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Chu army is helpless. But the wharf under the castle was burned. Due to the great chaos in the Kanto region, there was no food from the Yellow River and the chasm. Therefore, Ao Cang ordered that he simply not repair this place, abandoned this wharf, and retreated to Fangcang City.

Several dinghys docked, and Chen Ping disembarked. Caught in the darkness of the night.

In the middle of the great river channel not far from Aocang. Wei Wuji, his three thousand soldiers, and hundreds of shipwrights were all waiting quietly. Suddenly, a light lit up on the dark surface of the water. The light is reflected by the water waves and creates several shadows. It looked like a ghost fire, and Wei Wuji couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw it, because this was the code that Chen Ping and Wei Wuji agreed on.

At the signal, the ship began to move slowly. Follow this flickering lamp. At the stern of the boat, a lamp is naturally lit. Guide the boat behind you.

On the front ship, these boatmen and sailors are all extraordinary. Chen Ping is selected from the Baimajin boatmen, who are old boatmen who come and go here, and on the dark and moonless night, they can accurately judge the location and will not get lost on the dark and moonless night.

There are these boatmen to lead the way, but it is only an hour. The fleet has moved from the great river into the chasm. Ao Cang loomed in the darkness, looming. Immediately connected to the dock.

The wharf, which had long been burned down, was long gone, and could accommodate dozens of ships loading and unloading at the same time. It can only accommodate one ship on the shore.

So, the fleet docked in turn. The soldiers descended one after the other. Wei Wuji had already ordered that those who dared to make a noise should be killed.

Whether it was a shipwright or a soldier, they all bit the beam, and even if there were bumps and bumps, and even some people were bleeding and injured, they did not dare to scream.

It's just that when I got off the boat, there was no light. There are only a few lights, and they are covered with black cloth, so you can't see clearly from a little distance, and it is inevitable that some soldiers will fall into the water.

The sound of heavy objects falling into the water spread far away in the darkness, maybe Chen Ping did a good job, or maybe Ao Cangcheng really didn't care. That's when it comes to danger.

It is less than half a mile away from Ao Cang City, and the two sides of Ao Mountain are facing water. This wharf is the usual traffic point, Kanto grain and grass are all into Aocang, but also from this transfer Guanzhong, Jiuyuan. It has long been a road to the earth, all the way to Aocang City.

This road Wei Wuji has walked through, and now it is also a revisit to the old place, and I can't help but feel a little more emotional. looked at Ao Shan with blazing eyes.

Ao Mountain is not high, it is just a dirt mountain, but in the dark, it seems to be a majestic giant beast, lying on the earth, and naturally there is a deep deterrent power.

Even though Wei Wuji trusted Chen Ping, he also arranged some means in Ao Cang. But at this moment of crisis, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart.

The son of a daughter does not sit in the hall. Although it was a sneak attack, it was not Wei Wuji who was at the forefront, but Wei Tu.

said that it is Ha, Weitu does not have much talent in the military, except for a little bravery, it is commendable diligence. Today, Wei Wuji asked Wei Tu to be a pioneer, not for personal gain, but to reuse Wei Tu's other talent, his talent in geography.

At the beginning, Wei Wuji was among the crowd, and he selected Wei Tu to teach how to draw maps, because Wei Tu had a strong sense of direction, as long as he went to it once, within a few years, he was very familiar with this place, and he would not get lost even in the dark. Therefore, it was most appropriate for him to give him the task of this night raid.

In Aocang City, the two faced each other, and Chen Ping said in a leisurely manner: "Brother Ye, it's too late for you to regret it now." Just dedicate my head, and add credit for thwarting the enemy's attack, and maybe the Great Commander will forgive you. ”

This person is Wei Wuji's acquaintance, and it is Ye Han.

Ye Han was originally from Aocang, his home is in the south of Aocang City, and the family has been working in Aocang for generations, and he also inherited his father's position as a small official.

Although he is just a small official, because of the influence of generations, he is very comfortable in Aocang, and he has a good relationship with people from three ways and nine streams, otherwise Tian Heng would not have entrusted Wei Wuji's visit to Aocang to Ye Han.

Such a person with means and skills eats very well on weekdays, and even Ao Cangling sometimes greets He Sandao and Jiuliu will pass through Ye Han, but the good times do not last long.

The Kanto region is all anti-Qin, and many people who have a relationship with Ye Han are anti-Qin one by one, Tian Heng and Wei Wuji are not the only ones. The reason is that the people who generally escort Caoyun are either undesirable officials from various counties in Kanto, or powerful people from all over Kanto. And these two kinds of people are the main forces of the current Kanto rebellion.

Ye Han intersected with these people, and in the current situation, it is conceivable what Ao Cangling thinks.

If it weren't for the fact that the Ye Han family had been close to Ao Cang for generations, it would not be considered a small clan, and Ye Han's bones would have been cold. But even so, Ao Cangling is still methodically reducing the power of the Ye family, at least now Ye Han is at home, and there is no power at all, and even his original subordinates and the like are among the purges, and they have just been sent to the head of the city, and when the Chu army attacked the city, he was martyred.

Ye Han knew that when his power was completely cut off, it would be his own death.

But Ye Han had no choice, because Ao Cangling was not a mediocre talent, and he monitored Ye Han to death. If Ye Han has any abnormal movements, it is definitely Ye Han's head that has fallen.

After Chen Ping managed to sneak into Ao Cang, he smelled the opportunity for the first time and took the risk to meet Ye Han in the name of Wei Jun, but he didn't want Ye Han to have a relationship with Wei Wuji. Ye Han was deeply impressed by Wei Wuji, a generous guest.

Chen Ping doesn't use a three-inch tongue, and the two can be said to hit it off. Ye Han found his family from the fate of being ruined, and Chen Ping could also establish the first merit in the guards.

Ye Leng snorted: "Even if I betray you, will Ao Cangling believe it?" He would only think that this Ye family really had something to do with the Kanto traitors, but he killed hundreds of people in my Ye family with his backhand. Don't worry, I won't regret it. ”

The Chu army came west, and Ye Han was the most well-informed, and hurriedly withdrew all the Ye family's population Ding Zhuang to Aocang City. Aocang City is not big, it is more than a granary, not a people. Aocang is a big warehouse, almost no one lives in Aocang City, only the guards and soldiers, and the recruited people, about 10,000 people. However, most of the people came to serve as conscripts, and they had a deep grudge against the Qin State, and they were not trusted by Ao Cangling. And Ao Cang is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and there are only more than 2,000 soldiers who don't hear the sound of soldiers, so that the hundreds of young people who are related to the Ye family have become a bargaining chip for Ye Han to save his life.

It's just that Ao Cangling has a different look at the Ye family, and the Ye family is naturally very unhappy, and the children have died in the city, and hundreds of them can be seen by fools.

If it weren't for the Chu soldiers to contain him in the south, Ao Cangling would have killed Ye Han a long time ago, but the enemy was outside, so he had to do it slowly, wanting to kill Ye Han quietly. But I don't want the rabbit to bite when I'm in a hurry, don't talk about Ye Han.

Chen Ping naturally trusted Ye Han, otherwise he would not have come lightly. Chen Ping said: "Is the North Gate really foolproof? ”

Ye Han said: "You are right, the East Gate, the West Gate, the South Gate, any of them, it is not easy to speak, but the North Gate is very easy to speak." Although the north gate is the main gate of Ao Cang City, but it is connected to the waterway, out of the north gate is only one mile is the river bay formed by the big river and the chasm, and to go to the north gate by land must pass in front of the east gate and the west gate, so it is very inconvenient, especially after the Chu army burned down the wharf with a fire. It's not even easy to stop the boat, the north gate is almost deserted, and there are very few soldiers, I summoned the children of the Ye family, and with a thunderous blow, I naturally took it down, but I don't know when the Wei army will arrive, and His Royal Highness Wei Jun, will it really come? ”

Since Ye Han decided to take Ao Cang as a gift to join Wei Wuji, he naturally had to care about the Lord.

Chen Ping pointed his finger and said, "You see they are coming." ”
