Chapter 63: Stealing the City
People during the Qin and Han dynasties had strong self-esteem. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Bai Ma Ling's crime is certain to die, but Yang Xiong can make Bai Ma Ling commit suicide. It is to preserve the self-esteem of the White Horse Order. Therefore, Bai Ma Ling said a word of thanks to Yang Xiong when he was dying.
Bai Ma Ling died, and Yang Xiong's heart was not happy.
Because Yang Xiong understands very well that what Bai Ma Ling said is true.
Even after the Qin State stabilized Guanzhong, it was not something that Yang Xiong could wait for.
Thinking that thousands of his soldiers in White Horse City would die in the lonely city with him, Yang Xiong's heart felt heavy. But Yang Xiong remembered the kindness of being the first emperor, maybe His Majesty the First Emperor didn't care about his little county lieutenant. But he couldn't repay the great favor of the first emperor.
Even if you die on a white horse, it's the same.
Even if this is a dead city, I will hold on until the day I die.
Yang Xiong didn't want to say anything, and with a wave of his hand, Yang Bao stepped forward and began to read the list, and a person's name came out, and someone was immediately pulled down by the armor.
Then with a scream, the account was settled.
Yang Xiong didn't just do it here, all the big families in White Horse City who were in touch with Wei Wuji were broken into by the Qin army almost at the same time.
The sound of killing in the White Horse City rose to the sky.
Even outside the city, you can hear it. At this moment, Wei Wuji didn't know that he had been deceived.
Wei Wuji couldn't help but scold Yang Xiong, immediately ordered the army, prepared to attack the city, and when Wei Wuji integrated the army and came to the White Horse City, Yang Xiong was also on top of the city tower.
With a wave of his hand, Yang Xiong threw hundreds of heads from the city.
After Huang Cheng sent someone to inspect it, he reported back: "Your Majesty, most of our new development in the city is here. ”
Wei Wuji took a deep breath and closed his eyes, his entire chest rising and falling with anger, as if he was beating a drum.
I have to say that Yang Xiong is extremely spicy.
The day when Wei Wuji prepared to attack the white horse from inside and outside was tonight. And now that the matter is coming, he was almost wiped out by Yang Xiong, and the taste of success and failure is very bad.
Wei Wuji really wanted to capture the white horse in one go, but he knew that it was impossible, Wei Wuji took a deep breath again and said, "Withdraw." ”
Back in the camp, Wei Wuji immediately called Huang Cheng and asked, "In the city, is there any internal response?" ”
Huang Cheng said: "Yes, yes, but in this way, they have been scared. I'm afraid it won't help? ”
Wei Wuji said: "Tonight, the plan to use internal use to enter the city is inconvenient. ”
Huang Cheng couldn't help but say in a hurry: "Now that it can't be used, I'm afraid it won't work if you act according to the original plan." ”
Wei Wuji said, "You don't have to worry about this. Because I have a backup plan. ”
Huang Cheng couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, knowing that Wei Wuji didn't put the matter of breaking the city completely on himself.
After Yang Xiong saw Wei Wuji retreating, he immediately ordered to go down and said: "Reward the children of the major families in the city with money and silk, and divide the whole city into three teams, headed by veterans, to prepare for the defense of the city." Collect the food and weapons of the whole city, distribute them according to the mouth, and behead the private collectors. and demolished the houses in the city, and made them rolling stones. ”
Yang Xiong explained one by one, and it was clear that he wanted to use the entire White Horse as a war fortress, and it was impossible for the population in the entire White Horse City to be defeated until they died.
One thing after another is arranged. Yang Bao was busy.
Among the Qin army, there were heavy casualties, especially the first rank of officers, and Yang Bao's status rose rapidly and became Yang Xiong's right and left hand.
After Yang Xiong sent Yang Bao to do something, he called another person and asked, "How are things?" ”
The man said; "According to them, Wei Wuji wants to steal the city tonight, but the general will wipe out Wei Wuji's internal defense, otherwise tonight will be a vicious battle."
Yang Xiong suddenly paused and said, "Tonight, strengthen your vigilance." ”
This person couldn't help but be shocked and said, "General, tonight, do you think Wei Wuji will steal the city?" ”
Yang Xiong said: "You don't think it's possible, I naturally think it's possible?" Whatever you do by surprise and attack them unprepared, that's it, when you think it's the most unlikely, it's when the enemy is most likely. When marching and fighting, the first thing is to be cautious, not in what the enemy does, but in what the enemy does, you are prepared. ”
The man couldn't help but say, "Teachable." ”
This person's surname is Ying, he is a distant branch of the Qin royal family, and he is a person in a very inconspicuous position in the army, even Yang Bao doesn't know what kind of person this person is, but Yang Xiong knows that this person is retreating from the black ice platform.
When Yang Xiong participated in the attack on South Korea and Wei, he had contact with this person.
Therefore, after the Black Ice Platform was destroyed by the Second Emperor in one fell swoop, this person hid under Yang Xiong's men.
Today, Yang Xiong used him, and the means to destroy Wei Wuji in one fell swoop was this person. It's just that he is in use, and he is okay in the intermittent, but he is much worse in marching and fighting.
Night.
All of Wei Wuji's subordinates didn't light torches, and the people behind pulled the belts of the people in front of them, biting the branches in their mouths. There are straws on the feet, and the ground is as silent as possible.
It's early August and the moon hasn't rounded yet. And at this moment, the moon hook has also sunk into the west, the sky is full of stars, and the ground is dim. It's hard to see.
Huang Cheng was the first, a person sneaking forward, but he couldn't see clearly from a distance.
Before coming to White Horse City, I saw that a few feet away from White Horse City, one fire after another was lit, and the city was clearly illuminated.
Huang Cheng's body was short, as fast as lightning, he rushed to the city, and learned to call birds again and again, and someone above heard it and immediately put down a rope.
It's not just a rope, the rope hangs down like a vine.
Huang Cheng said hello, and at this moment, the guards didn't care about leaking, and rushed over from the shadows one by one, pulling the rope and about to climb up. But he heard the sound of a bang, and for a moment the city didn't know how many crossbow arrows were shot
I don't know how many people in the city were shot, but they just bit small wooden sticks in their mouths, and they couldn't scream for a while, only heard muffled snorts one after another.
The torches at the head of the city were raised in an instant every day, as if they didn't know that someone was gathering at the head of the city.
Yang Xiong showed his head and laughed, "I've been waiting for a long time." ”
Huang Cheng still had him thinking there, and hurriedly ordered: "Withdraw." ”
In this way, the guards left dozens of corpses behind and fled in disarray.
When Huang Cheng came back and saw Wei Wuji, he immediately pleaded guilty. Wei Wuji helped Huang Cheng up and said, "It's me who can't make it, and I don't blame you." It's just how many casualties our troops have. ”
Huang Cheng said: "Fortunately, there are not many casualties, less than 100 people. ”
When Wei Wuji heard that there were less than a hundred people, his heart suddenly moved, and he shouted pity.
Wei Wuji empathized, now that he knew in advance that someone was coming to steal the city, the best way was to put the opponent into the city and then besiege it. Even if it doesn't work, you should have more bows and crossbows. Let the opponent suffer heavy casualties, and so Yang Xiong only killed and injured less than 100 guards, there is only one reason, that is, Yang Xiong also discovered this matter temporarily. If Huang Cheng had forcibly attacked the city regardless of casualties at that time, it would not have been possible to win a complete victory.
It's just that it's too late to say anything now.
At the head of the White Horse City, Yang Xiong looked at the guards' barracks and said, "Say, why did you betray me?" ”
Yang Xiong was very sad, because this time it was not the people in White Horse City who betrayed Yang Xiong, but the officers under Yang Xiong. This person is also an old qualification among the soldiers of Dongjun, and he has followed Yang Xiong for a long time. Yang Xiong really didn't know why he betrayed himself. If it weren't for Yang Xiong's extra heart, he raised his vigilance, and when the guards arrived at the city, he would have noticed it. Yang Xiong made a decisive decision again, and dealt with it decisively, tonight, White Horse City was about to change hands.
The officer said, "I'm from Puyang. ”
This reason is very strong, the ancient close relationship, the same country is one of them, and it is still the same today. Wei Wuji is from Puyang, so they naturally have a reason to defect to Wei Wuji.
If Yang Xiong still has a strong position, it's okay, but now that Yang Xiong is at a disadvantage, he will be unpopular and deviate.
Yang Xiong couldn't help but hear it, he didn't care about a person's betrayal, but Yang Xiong was stationed in Puyang all the year round, it can be said that Yang Xiong's subordinates, Puyang people are not less.
Yang Xiong couldn't help but worry about himself, did he really reason to the point of betraying his relatives?
Suddenly, a man said, "Good tongue." Yang Xiong saw that the person who spoke was the old black ice platform.
