Chapter Eighty-Eight: Into the City
Under the coercion of Gongsun's eyes, Yu Xin honestly explained the follow-up plan and discernment. The four of them discussed again www.biquge.info completed the details, and then went their separate ways.
Jingyang had already obeyed Yu Xinyan's words, and even to the four thousand guards who had rushed to the fork, the generals, deputy generals, battalion captains, and captains of the battalion must obey the orders of Qu Xu and Gongsun, and then led a thousand soldiers and horses to the east gate.
Later, Qu Xu also led two battalions of men and horses to the west gate to support.
Only Gongsun, Yu Xin, and a thick lieutenant general of the guard left by Jingyang led the remaining 2,000 soldiers, turned back to the camp, changed into Chen's military uniform, and then marched towards the west gate again.
Gongsun, Yu Xin, and the deputy general of the rear guard army led the troops, and half an hour later, they saw the dust raised in the left guard barracks, and the sound of boiling and killing. At that moment, the three of them did not dare to be careless, quietly covered the flag, dismounted and walked, passed through the edge of the battlefield, and went straight to the west gate of Wanqiu.
After another moment, when he arrived at the west gate of Wanqiu City, Yu Xin saw that the west gate of Wanqiu City was really open, and a team of soldiers and maidens on the city wall shuttled endlessly, and several military formations were densely lined up near the city gate, all of them were holding bows, revealing a tense atmosphere.
There were also groups of soldiers with broken armor, supporting the disabled and carrying the wounded, and the dejected soldiers dragged from the direction of the left guard barracks to the city.
Yu Xin's eyes gestured to the lieutenant general of the guard. This person nodded, and hurriedly waved his hand back, and immediately the soldier behind him put on a posture like the defeated Chen army who entered the city. Yu Xin nodded, waved his hand, and took the lead towards the city gate. Although it may not be possible to blend in smoothly, it can get as close to the city gate as possible, and even blend in with the Chen army guarding the city gate, so that everyone does not have to worry about the threat of Chen Jun's arrow rain on the city.
Sure enough, when Yu Xin led the crowd to approach the city gate for about half a mile, a soldier from Chen's army, who was guarding behind the camp at the city gate, came forward to inquire.
"Which guard are you from?" The soldier looked at Yu Xin at the front of the line and asked.
Yu Xin was shocked, cold sweat flowed, and the secret road was terrible. I have just joined the army, and I don't even know which guards and battalions are in the Chu army, where do I know the situation of the Chen army, and I am about to be exposed. Now it's far away from the city gate, and even the horse rejection deer placed at the city gate has not yet been close, and he has also counted the Chen army at the city gate There are about 2,000 people, if it is revealed at this time, he and the two thousand soldiers behind him will definitely have to explain here.
Just when Yu Xin was secretly anxious, and Gongsun on the side also clenched the long knife at his waist, the adjutant general of the rear guard army stepped forward and said: "We are under the command of General Kong of the Right Guard, and the soldiers and horses of the two commanders of Shounan and Yunan. ”
Chen Junbing's mother followed the eyes of the deputy general, looked at Gongsun and Yu Xin, and muttered: "Why is your right guard army also defeated?" Can this battle be won? ”
Yu Gu was relieved when she heard Chen Junbing's mother say this, and looked at the deputy general of the guard army with gratitude. I heard Jingyang introduce that this person's name is Xiang Yan, and Yu Xin saw that her appearance was ordinary, not as outstanding as Gongsun and Elder Xu, so she naturally didn't care much.
"You wait here for a while, I have to go back and tell my general." Chen Junbing's mother said respectfully. Since he is a lieutenant, the identity gap is there, so he naturally has to be respectful.
When he observed, he found that this was just Chen Jun's routine, so he was not worried, and nodded indifferently.
Sure enough, Chen Junbing turned around after a while, motioned for everyone to enter the city, and said respectfully to Yu Xin: "This captain, my general has something to ask you, and I hope to wait for a moment when I enter the city." ”
Yu Xin inhaled, nodded in the direction of Chen Jun, who was moving and rejecting the horse at the city gate, signaled Gongsun and Xiang Yan, who were about to riot, to be calm and not impatient, and then turned his head to the Chen Junbing and said vaguely: "Well, the general has a call, so you should obey it, and enter the city first." ”
"Thank you, Captain." That Chen Junbing Niang didn't know that he had just turned around the Ghost Gate, and said gratefully. She was very worried that Yu Xin would not agree. In her opinion, Yu Xin is not the same guard as them, and he has just lost the battle, so he must not be willing to be questioned, even if this person is the general of the avant-garde army of Wanqiu City. Their front guard and right guard have never dealt with much.
Yu Xin waited for Chen Junbing's mother to walk away, and then whispered to Gongsun: "Don't be anxious, see that they are moving away from the rejection horse, we should not be exposed." ”
"yes, if you hadn't signaled, I would have thought they had found something wrong." Xiang Yan patted her chest, and she was also scared into a cold sweat just now.
"Unexpectedly, you know Chen Jun very well." Yu Xin urged the war horse under his crotch, walked forward, and turned his head towards Xiang Yandao.
"It's nothing, it's just that it's the right guard of Chen Guo who is confronting our rearguard." Xiang Yan smiled.
Yu Xin suddenly realized, and advised: "Wait a while, everyone should be careful, don't be too nervous and get exposed." After speaking, Yu Xin also tightened the reins in his hand, and added: "Wait a minute, if that general asks a question I don't know, General Xiang will help cover it up." ”
As they spoke, the three of them had already led the soldiers to the front of the Chen army. At this time, Chen Jun had already moved away from the city gate and leaked out of the city avenue.
Yu Xin caught a glimpse of a Chen army general sitting on a horse next to the road, and the soldier who asked him just now was also on the side, knowing that it was the general who wanted to ask him.
"Gongsun, you lead the troops, enter the city first, and Xiang Yan and I will go back to her." After speaking, he didn't wait for Gongsun to answer, so he urged the horse to meet him.
Gongsun originally wanted to follow with him, but these four thousand soldiers couldn't be leaderless, and Xiang Yan had to follow Yu Xin's strategy, so he solemnly said to Xiang Yan at the moment: "Yu Xin will ask you to take care of it." ”
"It's nature." Xiang Yan responded, and then urged the horse to keep up, but his right hand was on the long knife tied around his waist.
"This captain, this is my general." The soldier took the lead and went up to greet her.
"Well, I don't know what this general wants to ask." Yu Xin didn't mean to get off the horse at all, just clasped his fists on the horse and saluted. Naturally, he didn't dare to dismount, otherwise he would be found out and would have no time to escape.
General Chen Junlang didn't care about Yu Xin's attitude, and after he also hugged his fists and saluted, he asked worriedly: "I don't know, how is the battle situation in the Chu army camp, now it has been more than an hour since our sneak attack, and the Chu army is supposed to be about to arrive." If you don't go back to the city, I'm afraid the city gate will not be safe enough. ”
"But isn't it, we were going to take the camp of the Left Guard, who would have thought that the Right Guard of the Chu State came to support again, and we were caught off guard, this is not the first of our two men and horses to bear the brunt of the crime, and now we have to go back to the camp to rest." Yu Xin shook his head and said sadly.
"When will the army return to the city?" General Lang was most concerned about this issue, only two thousand soldiers were guarding here, and even though it had only been a little more than an hour, she already felt like a year had passed.
"Who knows. If you don't know if it's sunset, you'll have to return in vain," Yu Xin said nonsense.
"Ah, is the situation so critical?"
"No, if you look at my men, you can see how serious the situation is."
"Look at your shoulders and backs, with embarrassed faces, it seems that the loss is not small." General Nalang glanced at the team that was entering the city behind Yu Xin and said sympathetically.
"That's it for now, I don't know when this battle will be over, I really don't know where to replenish it in the future." Yu Xin immediately put on a look of chagrin.
"You are not the one who has lost the most, the battalion armor that came back one after another just now, which one did not lose three or four percent. I see that you two are both men and horses, and there are two thousand...", said this Nalang Jiang's face immediately changed.
