Chapter 288: Fighting wits and courage
The people present who said these words were all moved, especially Chai Yanping, it was not the case that he promised the prince just now, and now the old man's righteous appearance made him feel a faint pain in his heart. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info then also said loudly: "Well, today is the time for everyone to make contributions, let us work together to drive the enemy out of our homeland, expel our land, and restore our lives to the peaceful and peaceful way they used to be." ”
Yuwen Dao was bored and dangled in Shibao City, Xie Sichun and Cui Meng transferred a large number of troops to attack the central county, fortunately, they succeeded, but why didn't they take themselves to pick up the uneven convergence of tracking? He didn't want to be left alone in the stone castle, he always felt that something was going to happen, and he was a little uneasy inside. Rats are always the first to smell the crisis before an earthquake.
Suddenly, the soldiers on the tower of the city blew the horn, and someone shouted: The enemy is coming, pay attention to defense! Yuwen Dao was taken aback and hurriedly sent someone to see what was going on. After a while, the attendants came back to report that the outside of the city was full of enemy troops, and that the stone fort had been surrounded. Now he was trembling all over, and he didn't know what to do. At this time, the soldier came up and asked: "The thief army outside the city wants to talk to you by name, what do you think?" ”
Yuwen Dao was frightened and hurriedly said, "What are they looking for me for?" Tell them that Cui Meng and Xie Sichun are in Central County, and let them go there to find someone. "But these people don't look like they're going to leave easily, so you'd better see for yourself." The soldier doesn't want to take responsibility, and he only needs to pass on the word with the top card of Yuwendao. Yuwen Dao led the guards to the city tower in fear.
I saw that the army full of Chai Yanping standing a hundred steps away from the main gate of the city was about 4,000 people. They were heavily armed and in a menacing formation, ready to go, as if they could rush into the city and tear themselves apart at the slightest order. Chai Yanping downstairs saw Yuwen coming out, so he walked forward more than a dozen steps single-handedly, and shouted to the city: "In Xia Chai Yanping, I have admired the general's prestige for a long time, and I came to visit today, hoping to learn from the general's martial arts." ”
When Yuwen Dao heard this, he didn't want to go down to fight him, where would he set up martial arts, and he didn't send food to Chai Yanping to eat when he went up, so he also said loudly: "You still go to Cui Meng to learn martial arts, and you go to Xie Sichun to compete in the battle array, both of them are in Central County at the moment, you are in the wrong place." Chai Yanping frightened him and said: "What I'm looking for is you, the general, if you don't go out of the city to fight today, I will send someone to break the city gate and break the wall to enter." ”
Director Yuwen was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly beckoned to the archer and said, "Give me an arrow to shoot him." The archers on the city tower bent their bows and arrows, and a dense rain of arrows immediately shot at Chai Yanping, only to see Chai Yanping's horizontal spear immediately moved, and the farthest arrow fell two or three meters in front of him. So Chai Yanping said loudly: "Since the general insists on confronting us, I have no choice but to break this city." With that, he waved his spear and shouted, "Give it to me!" The army behind him began to move slowly, and battering rams and trebuchets were brought up. In the end, it is a local battle, and these things are more fully prepared than Xie Sichun.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yuwen Dao hurriedly set off the city tower and ordered people to guard the city gate, at this time the trebuchet outside the city had begun to throw stone projectiles into the city, and with a loud bang, a stone bullet directly hit a stable, and the two horses inside were smashed to death in an instant, and the house was instantly smashed out of a huge hole, Yuwen Dao shouted to the guards in horror: "Protect me, protect me!" At this time, two more stone bullets hit a private house not far away, and a pile of grain and grass under the city tower. The flying rubble hit Yuwendao's wrist, and he ran to the government office crying for his father, wanting to hide in the house for refuge.
At this time, even one of the roofs of the government office was hit by stone bullets, and the loud noise and smoke made him unable to open his eyes, and he coughed and shouted, "Quick." Prepare my horses, I'm getting out of here. "The commander took the lead in retreating, isn't this disturbing the morale of the army? But when it comes to the critical moment, where can Yuwen Dao take care of this, what he wants to do most at the moment is to leave here immediately, immediately and flee back to Chang'an.
A few fast horses were brought over, and Director Yuwen took the reins of the horses and turned over on the horse without thinking about it, and then said to a young general guarding the city: "I ordered you to defend the city and wait for reinforcements, I will go back to move the rescuers, you must defend it." After that, he immediately slapped his horse and fled to the west gate, Chai Yanping and the direction they were attacking was the east gate. Several guards also came running after him.
The generals and soldiers who stayed behind were dumbfounded, even the main general ran away and guarded a fart, deserters began to appear in the city, originally the stone fort was mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, and could not defend for a long time, and now I learned that Yuwen Dao had come, and the army was even more disheartened, and before Chai Yanping's battering ram opened to the city gate, I saw that the guard general had hung up the white flag and shouted that we surrendered, begging to be let go.
Yuwen fled from the West Gate with a few personal guards, not even his two favorite concubines, and now he fled south to Chang'an like a lost dog. When passing through a small forest, suddenly a cannon rang out, and a group of people and horses suddenly came out in front of him. I saw that the leader was a female general, and the person who came was Xian Ying, at this moment, her pretty face was cold, and she shouted to Yuwendao angrily: "Yuwendao, don't you get off the horse and surrender quickly, and you still want to escape there?"
It turned out that Chai Yanping had long expected that this cowardly bag would abandon the city and escape, so he deliberately sent the main force to attack the east gate, and let Qi Liren lead the team to ambush at the south gate, and let his wife Xian Ying hide at the west gate. The reason why Beimen didn't send someone to ambush was because he felt that Yuwendao must be going south to Chang'an, and it was impossible to escape in the opposite direction to the hinterland of the realm. He doesn't have that IQ yet.
Although Chai Yanping estimated that he was most likely to flee to the south gate, Yuwendao also used his brain a little, but his brain was the same at every turn, and the ending was still the same. Chai Yanping entered the city, and at this time, Qi Liren also brought people into the city, and when the two sides met, Chai Yanping asked: "What, didn't that guy go to the south gate?" The bald beggar shook his head and said, "No, you shouldn't have miscalculated, right?!" ”
Chai Yanping shook his head and said, "Probably not, is there any news from Xian Ying's side?" He was about to answer, when he saw them coming into the city through the west gate. So he pointed to Simon and said happily, "You see where they are." Chai Yanping looked back and smiled, Yuwen Dao was trapped by hemp rope, his hands were being led into the city step by step at the moment. Chai Yanping stepped forward and said very politely: "Oh, General Yuwen, I was still talking about where you went just now, you see how hard you are, come and loosen the general." ”
Yuwen Dao hurriedly raised his head, shook his cloak and said: "As long as you let me go, I will tell my eldest brother to protect your glory and wealth for a lifetime when I go back, how about it, you don't have to be strong under Gao Bin to serve under my eldest brother's account?" At this time, he was still in the mood to invite people's hearts, Chai Yanping was shocked by his ignorance, but he was also very useful to tease him: "Thank you General for looking up to me so much, but it's a pity that I'm a dead-eyed person, and I'm really embarrassed that loyal ministers don't care about the two masters." Take me down to take care of the good students. (To be continued.) )
