Chapter 217: Night Attack
At night, it is as quiet as water.
At night, the palace is always brightly lit, countless shadows are constantly moving, and the palace maids and eunuchs are constantly busy. Tonight, Emperor Yaoqi and his daughters had dinner together in Empress Zhang's Kunning Palace.
Looking at the few women who walked out, Emperor Yaoqi sighed deeply and walked slowly to the door of the palace. The smile on his face gradually converged, and Emperor Yaoqi's face gradually became solemn.
"Your Majesty, it's cold at night, let's go in and rest!" Empress Zhang took a robe, slowly came to Emperor Yaoqi's side, and said softly.
Slowly shaking his head, Emperor Yaoqi said in a deep voice: "There have been too many things recently, and there are so many things that I have been thinking about, is it right for me to do this." Although my ideals are good, can I really do it? Maybe I'll find out if I'm wrong? โ
Looking at Emperor Yaoqi's face full of sorrow, Empress Zhang's face was tight, and her face became a little ugly, as if the sorrow had been transferred to her. However, at this time, Empress Zhang actually didn't know what Emperor Yaoqi was thinking, not only at this time, but many times Empress Zhang didn't know what Emperor Yaoqi was thinking.
Although every time he accompanied Emperor Yaoqi, Emperor Yaoqi also favored Empress Zhang, but Empress Zhang knew that she had no way to enter Emperor Yaoqi's heart. For Empress Zhang, although Emperor Yaoqi was always approachable, more often than not, he sat on the altar and never walked down.
Looking at Emperor Yaoqi's face, Empress Zhang knew what she had to say at this time, but she didn't know what Emperor Yaoqi was thinking. After a slight sigh, Empress Zhang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the emperor has been lonely, and every Shengming monarch is lonely. Although the concubines can accompany His Majesty, there are many things that the concubines can't help. Most of the ministers in the court have their own selfish intentions, and the emperor can't trust each other, and many things can really only rely on the emperor alone. Just like this dark night, the emperor needs a way to get in and out! โ
Frowning slightly, Empress Zhang couldn't wait to hit herself a few times, what kind of oah did she say! How can you talk like that? Seeing that Emperor Yaoqi's face did not change in the slightest, Empress Zhang's heart relaxed a little.
After a slight sigh, looking at the starry sky, Emperor Yaoqi sighed softly, he came here, maybe only this deep and fascinated starry sky is still the same as that of later generations.
Glancing at Empress Zhang beside her, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said: "Baozhu, from ancient times to the present, there are many people who have thought about it, why are you alive?" From the moment of birth, Iriki was given different origins, and different origins mean different statuses and different destinies. I am a young son, and I have been the envy of countless people since I was born, but why did I come to this world? โ
"Your Majesty, each entry has its own destiny, or mission. His Majesty is a young son, and from the young to the inile, he naturally has a different mission from Beijin. Your Majesty is here to save the dead and save all the people from fire and water. Empress Zhang took Emperor Yaoqi's hand and said quite seriously.
After a slight sigh, Emperor Yaoqi smiled indifferently and said in a deep voice: "I hope that the matter in front of me will pass as soon as possible, and I can feel at ease!" โ
"Your Majesty, rest assured, everything will pass!" Leaning on Emperor Yaoqi's arms, Empress Zhang said with a smile.
On the same night, the palace is brightly lit, and the city of Shenyang is the same, the torches on the head of the city are exceptionally bright, and the surroundings are illuminated very clearly. As soon as it got dark, the gate of Shenyang, which had long been closed, slowly opened in the dark night. With the agitation of the chains, the huge suspension bridge was slowly lowered.
When everything was ready, a horse suddenly came out of the city of Shenyang, these people did not hold torches, and their bodies were wrapped in black cloth, so that they did not reflect in the dark night. The horses all had stirrings and hooves wrapped around them, so that they would not make a sound. Three thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry, under the cover of the night, quietly left the city of Shenyang.
Gently beating the horse, Zhao Shujiao came to He Shixian's side, and said softly: "General, this time the matter can be lowly and degraded, the general should sit in Shenyang City, if there is any accident, there is really no way to explain!" โ
"Brother, don't worry, we're just going for one night, what can happen in Shenyang City? You just put your heart in your stomach, Sun Dashuai is not in Shenyang City, and I have nothing to do. This night attack on the Shenyang avant-garde, I must have a good time and kill a few more! He Shixian didn't have the slightest worry about Zhao Shujiao, at this time his face was full of excitement, and he didn't have the slightest worry about the upcoming fight!
The capital has already come out, and now it's too late to say anything, so Zhao Shujiao had to shake his head and smile bitterly. I can't stop praying in my heart that this time things must go well, and if something happens, I will kill myself! I couldn't help but complain to myself in my heart, what kind of person He Shixian was into myself, I already knew, why did I have to talk to him about this? Sun Dashuai should not go back to Shenyang to find Governor Yang, this is really a drinking mistake!
The group did not stop, and cautiously rushed towards the Shenyang avant-garde, a distance of twenty miles, not long, not short. At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, the party finally arrived at a place three miles away from Shenyang's avant-garde.
Coming to He Shixian's side, Zhao Shujiao said in a deep voice: "General, this distance is almost the same, and it will be easy to be discovered if you go forward!" โ
Looking at the brightly lit city, He Shixian nodded slowly, and whispered to the soldiers behind him: "Let everyone get off the horse and rest in place!" Remember, be careful not to let us in and out of sight! โ
"Yes, General!" The soldier replied respectfully, and then turned around and went to order.
Looking at the city not far away, He Shixian asked in a deep voice, "Brother, when is it appropriate for us to call over?" โ
"General, we have just walked twenty miles, and the soldiers and horses should be very tired, so let them all rest! Besides, the Jiannu in the city may not be sleeping, if they haven't slept yet, we won't be called a night attack if we rush in now! Zhao Shujiao groaned for a moment and said in a deep voice.
Nodding slowly, He Shixian asked again, "Then when are we going to attack?" What kind of attack should be taken? โ
"General, this humble position has been thought of for a long time. The battle must be divided into inside and outside the city. Our current location is the south gate of the avant-garde of Shenyang, there is no cavalry of Jiannu here, and all the 3,000 cavalry of Jiannu are at the north gate. With 500 cavalry, we quickly rushed to the bottom of the city, used gunpowder to blow the city gates open, and then 3,000 infantry entered the city. There are 2,000 Jiannu in the city, and we have 500 cavalry and 3,000 infantry, and they are certainly not our opponents. After entering the city, what we have to do is to occupy the commanding heights as soon as possible, control the situation in the city, and then quickly clear the Jiannu in the city. Zhao Shujiao pointed to the big city gate not far away, and said quite seriously.
Seeing Zhao Shujiao looking at himself, He Shixian said anxiously: "Look at what I do!" Go on! โ
"Yes, General! When the Jiannu in the city sees that the low-grade is not out, they will definitely open the city gate and let the Jiannu in the north of the city in. In this way, the ambush outside quietly went around to the north gate, and at this time broke into the Jiannu camp outside the north gate and set fire. Don't burn your horse after you have set the enemy on fire, that's our trophy! Zhao Shujiao looked at He Shixian and said cautiously.
"Wait a minute, how can they not ride when they are rushing into the city?" He Shixian looked at Zhao Shujiao and asked a little strangely. It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, He Shixian slapped his head fiercely and said in a deep voice: "The situation in the city is urgent, and besides, the advantage of cavalry cannot be brought into play in the city, Jiannu naturally can't ride a horse, you go on!" โ
"After the camp is set on fire, don't stay, take it directly into the city, flank inside and outside, and wipe out all the Jiannu. In this way, we can disintegrate Jiannu's cavalry advantage and turn it into infantry combat that we are good at! Moreover, we have more troops than Jiannu, and it is a sneak attack, whether we have a calculation or not, this time we will definitely be able to take the Shenyang avant-garde in one fell swoop! Zhao Shujiao looked at the avant-garde city wall of Shenyang and said with a serious face.
Nodding slowly, He Shixian said with a smile on his face: "Brother, leave this matter of entering the city to me!" I'll leave the matter of attacking the camp outside to prevent fire! What do you think? โ
Looking at He Shixian, who was excited, Zhao Shujiao shook his head with a wry smile, with a helpless face. After knowing that He Shixian came with him, Zhao Shujiao knew that it would definitely be like this! After a slight sigh, Zhao Shujiao said with a wry smile: "Brother, this time the matter is a letter of nomination prepared by the younger brother, do you think you let the younger brother enter the city and give this head to the younger brother?" Little brother is grateful! โ
"Don't say that, this time it was you who made suggestions, and you also figured out the situation of the Shenyang avant-garde, so this credit is naturally yours. This is the first person to enter the city, I will make it clear to the handsome, I have been holding it for so long, this time I must have a good time. Well, that's it! Don't let Zhao Shujiao speak, He Shixian patted him on the shoulder, and said without saying anything.
He shook his head with a wry smile, and it could only be like this! After the horses were assigned and looked at the horses, Zhao Shujiao said in a deep voice: "Almost, general, let the infantry move forward, otherwise after the cavalry rushes over, the infantry will not be able to catch up." โ
Let the infantry sneak into a mile away again, Zhao Shujiao said to He Shixian: "General, you must be careful, you must protect yourself, I hope you will succeed." โ
"Good! Lend you an ancient saying! With a fist at Zhao Shujiao, He Shixian turned over and got on the horse!
In front of the Shenyang Acropolis, there was originally a trench, but because it hindered the entry and exit of the cavalry, after Jiannu occupied this place, he did not dig a trench again, which also saved He Shixian and Zhao Shujiao a lot of trouble.
Turning over his horse, He Shixian glanced at the soldiers beside him, and said in a deep voice: "The gunpowder is here, you must be able to blow open the city gate at once, otherwise we won't survive!" โ
"Don't worry, general, before coming out, I deliberately found that Yangjin, and this powder bag was made by him. The lead is not short, and it is running after the point, and it is also extremely good! General, I have a good idea, I don't know whether to say it or not? The soldier hugged a large cloth bag and said with a smile. By the side of this pro-soldier, there are a few others like him, all holding big cloth bags in their arms!
"You said it's a good idea, if you dare to make a bad idea, I'll let you wash Li Aniu's feet!" Looking at the soldiers, He Shixian said with a smile. These pro-soldiers have followed him for many years, and there is naturally no problem with loyalty, they have experienced life and death together, and they have no scruples when they speak.
The hippie smiled with a smile, and the pro-soldier said mysteriously: "General, in fact, it's not appropriate for us to rush over like this, I want me to send a few people to quietly touch it, and then blow up the city gate for him!" โ
"Fool, go wash Li Aniu's feet! Even if you can touch it and blow up the gates, if the gates are blocked, even for a moment, we don't want to go in. As long as the soldiers and horses of the northern city come around, we will wait for death! This night attack is about a fast word, it must be fast! Well, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and prepare! Glaring at the soldiers fiercely, He Shixian said loudly.
When all the entries were ready, dozens of them rushed over first, and these few were wearing very thick armor. This armor is specially cast, and it is difficult for bows and arrows to penetrate, and these entries have only one function, attracting the attention of the archers in the city.
After these entered, a dozen fast horses followed, and these were the ones with explosives bags in their arms! Follow behind the cavalry in front of you and move forward quickly.
When these two groups rushed out, He Shixian rushed over with Iriya in the back, but the speed was not fast, and he kept a distance from the Iriya in front.
The horse's hooves on He Shixian's side sounded, and the entrance to the city tower had not yet been discovered, and when they found out that it was the city that came down, the fast horse running in front had already rushed into the city gate tower. This made the bows and arrows in the city useless, and He Shixian took them and stopped outside the shรจ of the bows and arrows.
These people rushed to the city gate, and those who were holding the explosives bag hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and several of them quickly piled up the gunpowder bag and pushed it, and then screwed the leads together. When it was all done, all of them turned over and got on their horses, and one of them, dressed in heavy armor, took a torch and aimed it at the lead. Nodding to the crowd, Nairi threw the torch to the ground, and when he saw that the fuse was on fire, he immediately slammed the horse's ass and rushed out.
Contrary to when they came, this time it was the fast horses that rushed ahead, and the cavalry in heavy armor behind them. As soon as they came out, the towers of the city were like locusts flying arrows, and those who were caught in the body could continue to run forward. A few of them were shot through the throat, and the dead bodies fell under the horses! The surrounding ones didn't look at who was dead, and they rushed forward with an indifferent face. Maybe in their eyes, they are dead, and they are indifferent.
