Chapter 302: Welcoming the Enemy into the City
Chen Yuan knew that he was playing with fire, and this was originally a dangerous game.
In order to ensure that his mind could be all put on the troops of Xiping Mansion, Chen Yuan not only posted a notice to calm the people, but also asked the Baishan Battalion to go door to door to check if there were any suspicious people under the pretext of checking a fugitive.
At the same time, they are also preparing for battle. You may not be able to fool yourself this time, and the battle may break out at any time as the other party discovers one of the countless flaws on their side!
He believed that victory would be his own.
In the evening, when the remnant sun was still hanging on the hill to the west, there was a sharp sound of horses' hooves at the city gate. More than a dozen knights rushed in a row, bringing up clouds of dust behind them.
The more than a dozen people stopped at the gate of the city, and from the position where they stopped, it could be seen that these people did not expect that Yaode City had now changed its owner.
They didn't realize the danger at all, so they stopped under the city gate, and as long as they released an arrow in the city, they couldn't run away 100%!
One of them took out an official document and shook it at the head of the city: "Is Lord Li De, the deputy commander of Yaode City, here?" ”
Chen Yuan poked his head out: "What's the matter?" ”
At the same time, he put his hands behind his back and made a prepared posture to shoot these people as soon as any accident happened.
The man looked up: "I'm looking for Master Li De, who are you?" ”
Listening to what he asked, everyone knew that this person might be familiar with the deputy commander who was killed by himself, or maybe he was one of the eighty guards who were transferred.
Chen Yuan immediately said: "Lord Li De went hunting with his brothers, and he hasn't come back yet." "In the past, the guards liked to go up to the mountains to hunt when they were fine, which was learned from the mouths of those residents, and it was also a traditional way for the party to train soldiers, and to improve the food when they hunted the prey.
The man asked again, "Is Morton here?" ”
Chen Yuan's hand was slowly raised behind him, signaling the brothers of the Baishan Camp behind him to get ready, and Tie Anli and the others quietly put the strong arrow on the bowstring.
"I'm going hunting! What's going on? ”
In the end, the man didn't suspect anything: "Don't blame you, brother, I see that your face is very raw, so I ask a few more questions." General Soweiler of Sai Binh is coming soon, now open the gates, prepare a place to stay, and prepare a few jars of good wine!" ”
After finishing speaking, he turned his horse's head and went back to his life, Chen Yuan secretly let out a sigh of relief, this first level is finally in danger!
Chai Yang said in the back: "It seems that those who were transferred have returned, I don't know how long you can hide it." ”
Chen Yuan said: "Let the brothers be ready to do it at any time, it is best to delay it until the evening, if it can't be delayed, as long as they enter the city." ”
Chai Yang nodded: "That's all it can be." ”
Soweiler is the garrison general of Xiping Mansion, and he can sit in this position thanks to his sister, his sister is Li Yuanhao's concubine, although he is not very favored, but it is not a problem to find a small general for Soweiler.
More than 1,500 party soldiers entered Yaode City in a neat line, and Soweiler was naturally the first in line.
"Are you ready for food and shelter?" The first time Soweiler saw Chen Yuan, he asked.
When Chen Yuan heard this, he looked at Soweiler's riding posture and standing position, and his hanging heart suddenly let go of a lot!
He was at the forefront of the ranks, a position that a general who had been on the battlefield would never stand! Especially after the other soldiers dismounted, he was still riding on the horse, looking like he was afraid that others would not know that he was a general!
Chen Yuan gave him a conclusion: a little white face.
At first glance, he eats by nepotism, and he has no great ability. Such a person is of no use, although he looks at it. Li Yuanhao sent him to greet Zhao Yi, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything.
There are more than 1,500 people, and the problem of housing is really not very easy to solve. It is precisely because it is difficult to solve that it provides convenience to Chen Yuan!
"General Qiyu, all the rooms in the guard house have been cleaned up, and we have also requisitioned the inn, there are a total of fifty houses of various sizes, which should be enough for the chiefs to live."
Soweiler's brow furrowed: "Then where do you let my soldiers live?" ”
There was something wrong with his tone. Anyone with a little common sense of marching knows that in a small city like Yaode City, it is very difficult to accept all 1,500 sergeants to live!
This general actually made such a request, if Chen Yuan was really in command, he would inevitably be embarrassed, but now, he was really happy in his heart! When you encounter an ignorant opponent, you can only make yourself more sure!
Don't say that it is dishonorable to win against such a person, as long as you win, it is all glorious.
He immediately said, "General, many of our brothers have already started to set up tents,"
Before he finished speaking, a horsewhip shone on the top of Chen Yuan's head and was drawn: "Smack!" ”
Soweyl snapped, "Bastard! We are going to pick up the princess of the Song Dynasty, if you don't have a good rest and delay the big event, are you responsible? ”
Chen Yuan hurriedly apologized: "The villain knows that he is wrong, the villain knows that he is wrong, and please make it clear to the general!" ”
Soweiler looked around and pointed to the houses on both sides: "From the gate of the city to the place where I am standing now, all the houses will be requisitioned tonight!" ”
Chen Yuan felt the burning pain of the scalp that had been beaten just now, but he was overjoyed in his heart! Pig-like opponents often give themselves unexpected surprises!
He immediately replied, "Yes!" The villain will do it immediately, please go to the inn to rest first, I have already asked people to prepare two tables of wine and food, and I will definitely get things done before the brothers have dinner. ”
Soweiler was satisfied.
So the brothers of the Baishan camp quickly took action, starting from the city gate, knocking on the door one by one.
The small family said that they didn't have any property, so they rolled up the cover and left. Indeed, those who have property are troubled in their hearts.
"Lord Commander, look at my family, where can I finish moving this big thing in a while?" A party member in silk said with a bitter face, pointing to the furnishings at home.
His name is Fu Pei, and he is a Han who has lived in the party for more than 40 years. In the eyes of the residents of Yaode City, there is no difference between Fu Pei and a party member. They like to come to Fu Pei for everything, and often ask for Fu Pei's help when they are in trouble.
Chen Yuan glanced at Fu Pei, and just said, "Let's go, don't wait for them to help you move." ”
Fu Pei glanced at these furnishings in his home with great affection, and he knew that this might be the last time he saw them. Such a good house, once passed by the hands of those soldiers, was tantamount to a ransack. But the people of Li are like this, whether you are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, the people of Liao, or the people of the party, it is the same. When these armies tell you to leave, you must leave obediently.
They considered themselves lucky this time, because the new kind and dutiful commander had prepared a tent for them, so that they would not have to sleep in the countryside as before.
One by one, the residents entered the tents, their homes were occupied by those wolf-like party soldiers, and the general poverty was nothing, and they were originally surrounded by four walls, and they must still be four walls after they returned.
People like Fu Pei are sad, and people stay in tents, but their hearts cannot be at peace.
Chen Yuan, Chai Yang and the others gathered in a small tent to make a final plan. The dim light shone on everyone's faces, and they were all solemn.
Chen Yuan's voice was controlled to a very small volume, but it could ensure that everyone could hear it: "Everyone, judging from the situation just now, our opponent has 1,500 people, which is fifteen times that of us!" They shouldn't notice anything wrong until they've finished drinking, which means we've got half an hour left. ”
Chai Yang shook the folding fan gently, this time it was not for his chic bearing, in the late summer weather, there were so many people stuffy in this tent, it really made people feel a kind of heat.
Chen Yuan felt a cool breeze and glanced at Chai Yang: "Shake harder, help me fan too." ”
Chai Yang really amplified a little strength, and it couldn't be too big, otherwise it would fan out the lights. Chen Yuan continued: "Those officials have stayed in the inn and the guardhouse, which is very beneficial to us, we will concentrate everyone to fight the inn first!" As for the guardhouse, close the gate and burn it down with a fire! ”
Tie Anli immediately continued: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper, we have arranged a lot of flammable materials in the guardhouse, and the back door has also been sealed, and once the fire burns, none of them will be able to escape!" ”
Chen Yuan said yes, and was a little disappointed in his heart, but it's a pity, it's a pity that those soldiers didn't live in these tents built for them, otherwise if they set fire again, there would be no problem!
He knew that nothing would go exactly according to his plan, and now that the more than 1,000 party soldiers were scattered in the homes of the surrounding residents, they would definitely go to the rescue when the guard house caught fire, and they would definitely go back to rescue when they attacked the inn, which made Chen Yuan likely to face two tough battles directly.
Chai Yang said softly: "It would be nice if there was a way to make these soldiers have no time to get out." ”
Chen Yuan's brows furrowed tightly: "Chai Daguan is right, there is still a little time, you might as well talk about it together, say what you think, don't be afraid to say the wrong thing." ”
Everyone fell into contemplation together, but time passed little by little, and there was still no way. Chen Yuan knew that when these officials had dinner, they would send people to inspect it, and those soldiers who were siphoned off from Yaode City would also go home to take a look, but it was strange that they didn't show their bottoms!
He decided not to wait: "There is no way to leave it at that, the street is narrow, Tieanli, you take twenty brothers to the guard post and set it on fire, use your fire as a signal, once the fire rises, we will start attacking the inn!" Sutu, you take forty brothers to guard the passage in front of the inn, and we have done everything to the walls around the inn, so you don't have much time to hold on, a stick of incense is enough! ”
Su Tu and Tie Anli said at the same time: "The shopkeeper can rest assured! ”
