Chapter Eighty-Eight: Watching the Movement of the Tower
The courtyard on the left side is separated from the inner courtyard of the Qiuguan Mansion by only one courtyard wall, and two doors have been opened on the courtyard wall, each connected with a corridor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter a burst of smoke and fire, the horses in the stable were already in a frenzy, and just as the back wall fell, they rushed out, scrambled to escape, surrounded by the courtyard wall, and naturally rushed towards the two gates. The firefighters hurried through the two corridors towards the left courtyard. The two teams of men and horses collided head-on in the cloister.
The horses rushed forward desperately, and the horse's hooves were shocking; The people walking in the back didn't know what was going on, they were still squeezing into the corridor, and the people walking in front found that the situation was serious, and tried to avoid but found that they couldn't turn back at all.
The first to bear the brunt was Ji Ying, who had just run out of the left courtyard, he even felt that the hot air from the horse had touched his back, and he only felt that the vest was cold, could it be that he would be trampled to death by the horse? As soon as tomorrow passes, this son will become the son of heaven who sits in the south with a lonely face! Could it be that such an act of transgression has alarmed the heavens, and therefore should be punished in such a way?
Just as he was thinking wildly, two guards grabbed his two arms, one left and one right, and jumped off the parapet of the cloister, falling into the water with a "plop". When the others saw it, they all learned to "plop" and jump into the water. It's just that there are still many people who haven't had time to jump into the water after all, and they are knocked to the ground by the horses in an instant, and then trampled by countless horses' hooves.
Stirred by the cold water, Ji Ying woke up from his dazed confusion, and secretly rejoiced that there was a pool under the corridor, and the horses should not be able to go into the water without being driven. But he immediately found out that something was wrong, at this time the corridor was already crowded with horses, and there were countless horses coming to the doorway behind him, so many horses entered the corridor at the same time, not to mention the huge shock caused by their rapid running, the weight alone would make the wooden corridor unbearable, seeing that the corridor had begun to shake from side to side and was about to collapse, Ji Ying shouted anxiously: "Go, go!" The horses are about to go into the water! ”
The two guards hurriedly helped him to run in the pool, but although the water was not deep and only reached the lower abdomen, it was very difficult to run in it, and there was a lot of silt at the bottom of the pool, and every foot would sink into it, and it would take a lot of strength to pull it out, and the speed could not be fast at all, and it took a while to walk out of the short way, and it was still very close to the corridor.
Others also desperately tried to get away from the cloister, and they were also stuck in the pool and couldn't run fast, and many people were pressed into the water by the people who jumped down from behind, or poured garlic under their own feet in the water, and as long as they fell, they couldn't get up, and they drowned if they didn't trample to death. Pity these soldiers who are about to go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, they have just escaped the misfortune of stepping on horses, but they have drowned in this shallow pool, which is really declining!
Finally, with the exclamation of the crowd, the cloister fell into the pool, and the horses on it also fell. At this moment, the pool became extremely lively, the black crowd in front of them fled in a hurry, the black oppressive horses in the rear rushed wildly, the shouts of people, the neighing of horses, and the sound of hands and feet hitting the water, all blended together made the listeners frightened and the seeers broke their hearts.
On the tower of the south gate of Miyagi, a large group of people were standing at this time, all looking eagerly in the direction of the Autumn Mansion, and when the night gradually turned red, the crowd erupted in cheers.
Ji Yan stood at the forefront of the guardrail with his hand, and couldn't help but get excited at this time, and said loudly: "It seems that they have succeeded!" ”
Wei Yan, who was standing beside him, nodded and said, "You should have succeeded, Li Sui, this little guy is clever, and it is easy to do this thing." As he spoke, he turned his head to the side: "Congratulations to the old general, Ling Sun has made another great contribution!" ”
"A little brat, what is useless, just do a little bit for my big Zhou and my king! Their actions have not all been carried out according to the arrangement of our king. Although Li Gui shook his head vigorously with an old face, he could not hide the excitement in his heart: "My king's strategizing and commanding can be regarded as the greatest merit of this battle." ”
Several people next to him nodded vigorously with deep sympathy.
Ji Yan turned around and smiled: "You guys just shoot so hard!" If this king's ass is rotten, you must be the only one who asks! ”
The crowd laughed again.
Yan Shu didn't laugh, took two steps forward and looked at Wei Yan and said in a low voice: "It's just a few fires, although it can cause panic in the Qiu Official Mansion, it doesn't seem to have a decisive effect on the battle situation, right?" What are you happy about? ”
Wei Yan said with a smile: "Old lady, setting fire is only the first step, and then Li Sui and dozens of others will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and they will definitely give Ji Jing Lao'er a big surprise." ”
"Oh? So many people? How did you get in? ”
"We quarantined and interrogated more than 200 people who surrendered, and learned that most of them were not Jiang Juan's cronies, and Jiang Juan was not very familiar with them, so we replaced more than 30 of them with ours. Everyone was dressed up as unkempt, and it was in the night, and Jiang Juan naturally couldn't recognize that these people had been dropped. ”
"However, even if Jiang Juan doesn't find out, these people will inevitably be checked out when they enter the gate of the Qiu Official Mansion?" Yan asked suspiciously.
"We sent a cavalry to follow behind this deception team, falsely claiming that they were going to rush into the Qiuguan Mansion after they defrauded the gate, which made Jiang Juan very worried, so he reported to the guards. As soon as they entered, the cavalry rushed over with a roar, so that the guards believed that they were really attacked, so they hurriedly let them in so that they could shut the gate. In this way, it is easy to pass the inspection at the door! After Wei Yan finished speaking, he looked at Yan Rate with a smile, as if to say that our method is not bad, right?
Yan Shu raised his hand tremblingly, pointed at Wei Yan and shouted: "Danger, you are in danger!" If you are not careful, Li Sui and other good sons will be sent to your death. Wei Yan, as the chief general who defended the entire palace city, you sent your best soldiers so rashly, it is really not what a wise general should do! ”
Wei Yan was speechless by the bitter scolding of his head, and looked at Ji Yan with an embarrassed face.
Ji Yan knew that although this stubborn old man was talking about Wei Yan, he was actually pointing the finger at himself, and he couldn't help but feel quite embarrassed, and was about to explain to the old lady, when he heard a "hum", Li Gui, who was standing aside, said with a calm face: "Li Sui is the grandson of the old man, the old man still has no opinion, what are you making noise about this old thing?" ”
Yan said angrily: "This has nothing to do with whose grandson it is, the old man is just angry with the generals who don't care for his subordinates!" ”
"Eun!" Ji Yan cleared his throat, looked at Yan Shu and said with a smile: "What the old lady said is very right, as a general, if he doesn't cherish his subordinates, he is not worthy of being a general." ”
After a pause, he continued: "But cherishing your subordinates does not mean holding them in the palm of your hand and holding them in your mouth, but giving them a broad stage for them to play." It is true that there will be great danger in this, but we cannot prevent our men from taking risks because of the danger, because the greatest danger does not come from the strength of the enemy, but from our own fear and evasion of danger! In the words of the old general, not knowing that there is danger is the greatest danger, and only when there is danger can you get real experience! ”
