Chapter 129: Gray Gate
Qiao Shi sneered: "If you lose Donghai City, you will lose it, and if you take it back, there will be many fewer obstacles at that time." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Qiao Tianmu said with relief: "It's good to have a good plan, Lao Zhang will promise us to go out of the city, in order to let us send troops to him, he has paid a bloody amount and compensated his sister." ”
Qiao Shi sneered again: "If you don't agree, you have to agree, he has no choice." ”
Qiao Tianmu said: "That's right, if I want to go, I can leave and stay if I want, he can't do anything with me, even if he defeats the White Turban Army in the future, he can only suffer this loss." ”
Qiao Shi said: "Without further ado, Gongzi sent people out of the city overnight to contact the conscription army, it is inevitable that they will come back too quickly and too inappropriately, and it will be a big deal. ”
Qiao Tianmu agreed with Qiao Shi's plan and hurriedly went to the Taishou Mansion.
At this time, the gate of the Taishou Mansion was closed, the palace lamp under the eaves hung lonely, and the light sprinkled on the bodies of the four night vigil sergeants, motionless, as silent as death, no wind, no dog barking, no sound of watching.
Suddenly, a line of shadows came from the dark street, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the sergeant who was on the vigil, and at this time a group of shadows appeared at this time, which was very likely to be a killer, and he couldn't help but tighten the spear in his hand, holding his hands in his hands, ready to rush and kill.
Looking at the light and shadow, this group of people is very unscrupulous, not at all like the style of the killer to hide his whereabouts, but like his own sergeant who came back from the night patrol, and he is not easy to make a noise, and when he gets closer, sure enough, there are a few slightly strangers among them, but they have also seen them, and they are the big people from Langshan County.
One of the captains who patrolled the night said: "General Qiao is going to enter the palace to see the eldest prince, go and open the door quickly." ”
Puzzled, one of the night watch sergeants hurriedly pushed the door open, and the other sergeant hurried inside to report. Qiao Tianmu just entered the hall and waited for Lao Zhang's reception, so when Qiao Tianmu arrived in the hall, he waited for a while before he saw Lao Zhang coming in from the side door with an untidy look and not waking up.
Lao Zhang took the lead in asking: "General Qiao came to see him in the starry night, I don't know what to discuss?" ”
Qiao Tianmu was not polite, and said: "I will lead the troops out of the city." ”
Lao Zhang said in surprise: "Why, how can you defend Donghai City when you leave, but you promised me to defend Donghai City?" ”
Qiao Tianmu explained with a cold coldness: "I led my soldiers and horses out of the city to raid the White Turban Army. ”
Lao Zhang said disapprerovitously: "The conscription army destroyed the grain and grass of the White Turban Army, and annihilated a thousand White Turban Army, and the White Turban Army will not be able to attack the city for a long time without food and grass, so why take the risk." ”
Qiao Tianmu said angrily: "In the opinion of metrics, it is precisely because the White Turban Army has suffered losses under the conscription army one after another, and it is just taking advantage of the revenge of the White Turban Army to fight a good counter-ambush, so as to weaken the strength of the White Turban Army to the greatest extent, rather than waiting for the White Turban Army to weaken our strength." ”
Lao Zhang was taken aback by Qiao Tianmu, did not dare to offend, and no longer easily refutated.
Qiao Tianmu said: "There is a mountain col on the road from Nanwang County to Donghai City, which is the only way for the conscription army to return to defense. ”
Lao Zhang exclaimed: "You mean the gray gate." ”
Qiao Tianmu said: "Exactly." Qiao Tianmu didn't expect Lao Zhang to know that place, and seemed to have known about it for a long time, since Lao Zhang was able to tell that place in one mouth, he could persuade Lao Zhang to agree to his plan.
Lao Zhang asked helplessly, "What are your plans?" ”
Qiao Tianmu said: "I will leave a thousand soldiers to help defend the city, and I will lead the remaining four thousand soldiers out of the city to raid." ”
Lao Zhang said: "There are spies of the White Turban Army in the city, if you go out of the city on such a large scale and are informed by those spies of the White Turban Army outside the city, Donghai City will be finished." ”
Qiao Tianmu said confidently: "The so-called spies can't make any big waves, as long as you make careful arrangements, it is impossible for those spies to know that I led the soldiers and horses out of the city." ”
Lao Zhang said unrelentingly: "Even if you hide the spies in the city, the secret agents of the White Turban Army outside the city." ”
Qiao Tianmu said: "It is not difficult to get rid of the spies of the White Turban Army at the North City Gate, and it is not difficult to send a few waves of sergeants to lure them away." ”
Lao Zhang sneered: "You treat the White Turban Army as a fool, but what you said is very light. ”
Qiao Tianmu said: "The Tianhu Kingdom has the wrong intention of gathering a large number of soldiers and horses on the border, and it is impossible for my Wolf Mountain County to send reinforcements to support, therefore, if we have less than 10,000 troops to repel the White Turban Army, we can only surprise the troops, otherwise we will continue to be consumed like this, and we will not wait for the arrival of the royal capital and the royal division, and we will be finished." ”
Lao Zhang said disapprerovingly: "Why don't you wait, so rash, once you fail, you will have to bear the consequences." ”
Qiao Tianmu responded coldly: "Brother Lao, no one can stop me from what I decided, I have already ordered to pack up my things and prepare to leave the city before I came, you had better arrange for us to leave the city as soon as possible, don't break up in a discord at that time." ”
Lao Zhang was angry, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only agree to Qiaotian's plan, and turned around and endured it silently, but he always recalled in his mind what the smelly and hard Qiaotianmu had done.
At three o'clock in the morning, the originally quiet Donghai City finally had some big waves, and there was a slight sound of footsteps at the end of the dark street, following the prestige like an undercurrent, coming towards the city gate inch by inch.
Such a movement immediately attracted the attention of the guards at the city gate, just attention, but no one looked at it, the soldiers under the city were carrying the sandbags blocking the city gate, and the soldiers on the city wall stared at the movement outside the city and couldn't get out. Just now, the general flag has issued an order, and the sandbags blocking the city gate will be emptied within five minutes, and the city gate will not be opened if it is not empty, and all of them will be severely punished.
As we got closer, we could see that the first group of knights with their mouths and iron feet wrapped in thick cloths was visible, and in the darkness of the night, the eyes of the big horses glowed softly, in stark contrast to the eyes of the cold sergeants on horseback.
The general flag on duty greeted him and said respectfully: "Ladies and gentlemen, the lords of Wolf Mountain County, wait a while, and you will be able to open the city gate in a while." ”
These adults in Wolf Mountain County didn't seem to want to talk to break the silence of Donghai City, and after glancing at him, none of them responded to the general flag of Donghai County standing like fools, and quietly looked at the sergeants carrying sandbags.
The general flag was bored with himself, stood for a while, and quickly walked away to urge his men to speed up their work, under his urging, the sergeants worked significantly faster, and it took about seven minutes to carry the sandbags, and immediately a sergeant went to lift down the bolt of the gate, and two other sergeants quickly pushed the gate open.
As soon as the gate of the city was opened, the knights came out and rode in parallel, and when they passed by the side of the general banner at the city gate, no one looked at the general banner much, so they went out of the city without being fast or slow, and after arriving outside the city, they divided into two roads and parted ways in the northeast, northwest, and northwest directions, which seemed very strange.
Because it was dark at night, the four knights walked very slowly, until the four knights disappeared into the dark night, and the time was for a while, and the general flag on duty couldn't help but look at those cold Wolf Mountain County adults, this time he didn't have a hot face to stick to his cold buttocks, just looking, thinking about what kind of conspiracy Wolf Mountain County was engaged in, and the boss only said that he should secretly let the soldiers and horses of Wolf Mountain County out of the city, and did not say anything about the cause and effect.
Just as he was pondering to himself, four more knights came closer, and still didn't look at him, the general flag of Donghai City, and went out of the city silently, just like the previous four knights, they were also divided into two directions, northeast, northwest, and northwest.
This is the rhythm of the brigade of people going out of the city, the outpost went to a team, and then went to a team, that caution is extraordinary, is the war imminent, why the reinforcements of Wolf Mountain County are going out of the city at this moment, is it abandoning the city and fleeing, the general flag on duty was startled, if it is really abandoning the city and fleeing, he doesn't want to stay for a moment and wait for death, don't leave at this time, and wait when.
The empty and black outside the city was silent, I couldn't see anything unusual, when the general flag on duty was fighting, the knights of the brigade finally left out of the city, this was out of control, the unhurried team out of the city took about ten minutes to complete, carefully estimated that the soldiers and horses out of the city were about four thousand, the general flag remembered that there were nearly five thousand soldiers and horses from Wolf Mountain County, at this time there were only four thousand soldiers and horses out of the city, and naturally one thousand were left in the city, so if you calculate it, Wolf Mountain County will definitely not abandon the brothers of a thousand and flee, presumably there is another plan, I feel a lot more settled.
Seeing the last soldiers and horses of Wolf Mountain County out of the city, the anxious general flag waved his hand, signaled his subordinates to close the city gate, moved back the sandbags to block the city gate, turned around and walked slowly to the head of the city, just to see the team of Wolf Mountain County disappear from sight, it was pitch black, looking up at the sky, the black clouds were pressing the city and wanted to destroy it, the general flag couldn't help but shiver, goosebumps, and thought of bad signs.
