Chapter 177: The ancient county town will come north

The ancient county seat of Dianjiang is more than 200 miles away from Jiangzhou, which is surrounded by the river. At present, in this ancient county, there are a large number of soldiers.

Because Hua Fei's military orders were extremely strict, the prisoners of war who were captured by Tai Shi Ci were all treated preferentially by Tai Shi Ci, and they had no worries about food and clothing!

Therefore, after Liu Zhang's arrival, when these prisoners of war learned that even their lord had surrendered to Hua Fei, they all abandoned the secret and joined Hua Fei's command.

On the night of 26 April, the strength of Dianjiang County increased to 14,000 at once, including 8,000 elite horsemen and 6,000 newly surrendered foot soldiers.

On the morning of April 27, when Zhao Wei led his army, he was still hurrying towards Dianjiang County.

When he sent people all the way to the front to inquire about the news, he just secretly followed from afar, and Hua Fei, who was slowly moving behind Zhang Ren's broken army, was still halfway through.

When Wei Yan and Liu Zhang, who had just arrived in Dianjiang County last night, were still "whirring" asleep because they were tired for days; But there was a general about forty years old, who led hundreds of people to the quiet north gate of Dianjiang County.

This general, he didn't know that this ancient county town had changed hands. But as soon as they approached the northern wall, some people shouted in the cool wind: "Stop, or you will open your bow and arrows!" ”

"Huh!" The general who was carrying a horse and a knife reined in his horse when he heard the sound and waved his hand to stop the army. But he was secretly surprised in his heart, and thought to himself as he looked at the city.

"I can't imagine that I haven't seen you for a long time, Pang Le and Li Yi, the two melon babies who can only slap horses, have grown a little, and this sentry is extremely well arranged."

At this time, Tai Shici, who was sleeping in the castle tower, was also woken up by the guard who heard the sound of horses' hooves. He heard that someone was leading the army, and he quickly came to the city wall.

Just as he could hear the general, he shouted loudly outside the city gate: "Brothers guarding the city, Lao Fuer and others went to inform Na Pang Le and Li Yi, and said that the old man who had been ordered to come from the ditch to guard the grain road in the Dianjiang River has come. ”

"Good! You can wait outside first, and I'll report later. The leader of the sentry said in a loud voice, and turned his head to look at Tai Shi Ci.

Tai Shi Ci beckoned to the guard beside him, whispered in his ear, and the guard nodded and hurriedly led a few people, and ran towards the city.

"Huh? This person's demeanor is really comparable to that of his uncle and nephew. After the guards left, he looked at Tai Shici, who was coming, and saw that this was a dusty man, his face was like a knife and an axe, and he was both majestic and resolute, so he secretly made this evaluation in his heart.

Unexpectedly, he was secretly looking at himself, but he was looked up by the general. The eyes of the coming general were as sharp as eagles, and at a glance, he saw Tai Shici, who was dressed in green armor, white robes, and dressed differently on the city wall.

That will have a strong eyesight! He saw that this Tai Shi Ci looked like a sword eyebrow and starry eyes, and there was a heroic spirit hidden in his body, but unfortunately he was a strange face.

He thought to himself under the city: "I have had many heroes in Sichuan since ancient times, and this person is mighty, but after I left, Lord Zhao was a newly acquired hero?" ”

Thinking of this, he held a knife under the city and said to Tai Shici: "This little brother in the city, seeing that you look majestic, dare to ask for your name?" ”

Tai Shi Ci was slightly stunned when he heard this, and when he looked down, he realized his mistake. At this time, he didn't know the identity of the general, and naturally he was unwilling to reveal his identity too early.

However, he is a cheerful person, but he is not willing to do that deceitful thing for no reason. Nai replied loudly in the city: "The general can stay for a while, and Li Yi will be there in a moment." ”

Hearing this, the general's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he thought to himself: "This person is so rude!" If you don't answer my question, it's just that, but why do you call your boss by his name, and don't even call the general? ”

Thinking of this, he faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart. Because, if this person is at the same level as Li Yi, then it is impossible for Zhao Wei not to mention this person.

Thinking about it, he happened to see that Tai Shici, who had noticed his mistake, retracted from the edge of the battlement. This makes me feel even more inappropriate! But he quietly raised his eyes secretly, and carefully looked at the guards on the side of the battlements.

He could see that each of these guards in the city was looking at his party with full energy, but his expression was a little unusual, it seemed to be a posture of facing the enemy.

He thought to himself again: "I have already reported my identity, but I am my own people, why do these people look like they are facing a great enemy?" Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but become more and more suspicious!

Nai hurriedly waved his hand to beckon, those Zhao Wei's cronies who went to the ditch to give orders.

"Wait and listen!" He looked up at the city, but lowered his voice and said to those cronies, "Don't be surprised and scream for a while, just give me a careful look at the soldiers at the head of the city to see if there are any familiar people." ”

When the cronies heard this, they raised their eyes and looked at the city according to the order, but they shook their heads one after another, and none of them said that there were people in the city.

That will see "Shhh I gasped! I knew in my heart that something was really wrong. For if there are many people in this army, and they usually rely on each of them, it is really possible that they do not know each other.

But at this time, there are a large number of people in this city, and Zhao Wei's cronies are usually responsible for delivering news to various departments, but it is impossible not to even have a familiar face.

However, it turned out that Tai Shi Ci did not dare to hand over the heavy task of defending the city because the newly descended pawn had not been rectified, but only assigned his capable subordinates to prepare for their rectification.

As for the guards on the city, they were all selected from the four thousand elite horsemen under his command. Therefore, these cronies really don't know any of them.

At this time, the guards who were ordered by Tai Shici to invite Li Yi had not yet arrived. Tai Shici, who was hiding behind the city for fear of being recognized, first heard the guards with him whisper: "General! That will be the right person to retreat, it seems to have the meaning of wanting to leave. ”

"What?" Tai Shi Ci was shocked when he heard this! He was tasked with guarding the new Dianjiang county, and almost immediately thought that the reason why he would leave was because he saw some flaws?

He thought to himself: "At this time, the lord has not arrived, and the enemy army still has Zhao Wei's 40,000 troops, and the situation is unknown. ”

Nai Yu raised his voice behind the city and shouted: "The general stays, Li Yilai also!" shouted, but he couldn't wait to think about it any longer, so he just waved his hand and took the guards around him and rushed towards the city.

As he walked, he hurriedly instructed a guard on the road: "I'll go and entangle the general first, but you give me a quick way to wake up General Wei Yan, and let him lead his elite cavalry to quickly outflank from the east and west gates, intercept all the guys, and don't let one escape." ”

"Whoa!" The guard had to make a fist clench, and ran towards the city, asking Wei Yan not to mention it.

Tai Shi Ci secretly blamed himself: "him!" Lao Tzu's brain is really made of wood, and the enemy army is only more than 100 people, what else is Li Yi invited? If the lord had already opened the city gate at this time to lead him in and captured him for a long time, why did he need to do so many things? ”

Tai Shi Ci ran fast, and after a while, he led the guards to the north of the city.

Tai Shici, who was dressed in green armor and white robes, carried a silver spear and carved a bow on his shoulder, quickly got on the war horse, and only led nearly a hundred guards to open the north gate of Dianjiang County.

The general heard Li Yi's arrival, but he never went far, and immediately looked under the city with a knife. When he heard the sound, he saw the city gate open, but Li Yi didn't see it, but he saw this blue-armored and white-robed general who was leading people with a gun.

Tai Shi Ci saw that the general did not ride his horse and fled, but immediately shouted: "Why did the general leave, if Li Yi came after a while, if he couldn't see you, wouldn't he blame me?" ”

But unexpectedly, that general, or because of his age, the experience of the rivers and lakes for a long time is also extremely old, and he saw Tai Shi Ci coming with a spear, which was not a gift of hospitality.

His heart was as bright as a mirror, and he didn't know what the enemy general wanted to do.

However, he secretly thought to himself that Lord Zhao had reactivated me and asked me to come here to help him take care of the grain and grass, although it was a last resort.

However, I have been commanded to be faithful! Although this Dianjiang county has fallen into the hands of thieves, it is fortunate that the heavens have mercy and will chase this thief out of the city. Why don't I take the opportunity to take him down here, maybe there is still a chance to recapture Dianjiang County. ”

Thinking of this, he immediately laughed a few times with a "haha", but with a fierce face, he pointed at Tai Shici and shouted: "What a cunning thief!" How long do you want to cheat? ”

As he spoke, his sharp gaze swept away Tai Shici, who was galloping on his horse, and said loudly again: "Who are you, and why did you take away my Dianjiang County?" You can quickly report your name to this general, and under this treasure knife in the palm of this general, you will not kill the nameless! (To be continued.) )
