Xu Shanming's specific position is that Zhao Wangfu Army Cao participates in the military, responsible for the recruitment of soldiers, army duty scheduling, etc., such as whether recruits are mixed with veterans, divided into several rounds of duty every day and night, how many troops are on duty in each round, how much time, etc., these decision-making things are decided by Wang Shiyun, but the specific implementation is arranged by the soldiers Cao Shen military, such as the army on duty today, at which point to defend and so on.

Night duty is hard, the time is long, and there are no special benefits, almost all veterans are unwilling to be on duty at night, Xu Shanming assigned the drudgery of night duty to the recruits, and he also won the unanimous praise of the veterans.

But it's not okay for recruits to be on duty at night, Xu Shanming is on duty at night according to the ratio of one to five, that is, five thousand recruits and one thousand veterans to match the night, so that recruits have to take turns every two days, and veterans only have their turn once every half a month, although this arrangement makes recruits very dissatisfied, but recruits have no right to speak, so they have to bear it.

Under Xu Shanming's scheduling arrangement, tonight's night guard was the turn of the 1,000 soldiers led by Yun Shitai, who were responsible for guarding the city tower and the city gate, and the remaining 5,000 recruits were responsible for the defense of the city wall and the patrol of the city.

At the first watch, Yun Shitai and the last round of generals on duty during the day handed over the night post, and a thousand soldiers withdrew to the barracks to rest, while Yun Shitai's 1,000 soldiers quickly took over the city tower and city gate.

The south city is the most important city gate of Luoyang, also called Dingding Gate, the city tower of Dingding Gate is as high as four zhang, the eaves and beams, the momentum is magnificent, it is one of the symbols of Luoyang in the era of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, and it is not as simple as a city gate, but an urn city with a circumference of two miles, if in wartime, it takes three thousand soldiers to defend, and usually stands guard and guard, only one thousand people are enough.

The real commander of the 1,000 soldiers who rotated in the south gate tower tonight was the general Shen Guang, and it was getting closer and closer to the two watches, Shen Guang changed back to the general's armor, and stood in front of the city tower with a sword and stared ahead for a long time, the night shrouded the field, the original prosperous south city gate had already been destroyed by the war, and most of the houses were only ruins, and there was no light to see in the night.

At this time, Yun Shitai walked over quickly and said in a low voice: "General Shen, there is news from the mansion that Wang Shiyun has fallen drunk. ”

Shen Guang nodded and asked, "Has the two watches arrived?" ”

"There's still a stick of incense left."

"Then wait a little longer!"

After a moment of silence, Yun Shitai asked in a low voice, "General Shen, will my father be condemned as a thief?" ”

Shen Guang smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "This time you father and son have made a great contribution to the capture of Luoyang, even if they were guilty in the past, it is enough to offset it, you will follow me in the future!" ”

Yun Shitai was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you General Shen for your care!" ”

At this time, a black shadow ran under the city, and when he was close to the moat, he opened his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at the head of the city, Shen Guang could see clearly, this was the Sui army outside the city reminding him that it was time.

Shen Guang immediately ordered, "Open the city gate!" ”

Several soldiers pushed the winch, and the drawbridge began to fall slowly, and at this moment, a soldier rushed over and nervously reported: "General, Wang Shichong is here, and he is now in the city!" ”

Shen Guang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ordered: "Open the city gate immediately!" ”

Yun Shitai was also very nervous, and hurriedly said, "I'll go and lure Wang Shichong away!" ”

"General Yun beware, he has no choice but to kill him directly!"

"I understand!"

Yun Shitai hurriedly ran to the city, Shen Guang was afraid that Yun Shitai would not be able to withstand it, so he explained a few words to the deputy general, and also turned around and chased after him.

.........

Tonight, the dark clouds were low, the stars and the moon were dark, and it was pitch black all around, which made Wang Shichong extremely uneasy, and an intuition told him that if the Sui army was preparing to attack the city, then tonight would be the best time.

He couldn't sit still in the palace anymore, so he brought hundreds of guards to visit the city defense at night, the first stop was Dingding Gate, Wang Shichong had arrived in front of the inner city gate of Dingding Gate, what made him a little angry was that the main general Wang Shiyun was actually drunk, and many of the soldiers defending the city were obviously recruits, wearing cloth armor and holding crude weapons, which made Wang Shichong extremely dissatisfied with his brother.

At this time, Yun Shitai rushed from the city and knelt down on one knee in front of Wang Shichong to salute, "Humble Yun Shitai see Your Majesty!" ”

"Is General Yun on duty tonight?"

"It's a lowly position!"

Wang Shichong pointed to the city walls on both sides with a horsewhip, "I came to ask you, why are there all new soldiers on the city walls?" ”

Yun Shitai had already thought of an answer on the road, and he said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, this is the deployment of His Royal Highness King Zhao, and I don't dare to ask more." ”

Yun Shitai kicked the ball to Wang Shiyun, the king of Zhao, this kind of thing has nothing to do with him, even if he knows, he can't say it, Wang Shichong became more and more annoyed in his heart, and turned back to the guard and ordered: "Go and bring King Zhao, get drunk and splash water to wake up." ”

More than a dozen soldiers rushed away, and at this time, Wang Shichong asked again: "Is there anything outside the city?" ”

"Your Majesty, there is no movement outside the city, as usual, but there is something unusual inside the city."

"What anomaly?"

"I noticed a thump under the walls, as if someone was digging underground."

Wang Shichong was taken aback and asked urgently, "Where is the abnormal noise?" ”

"Your Majesty, please come with me."

Yun Shitai will take Wang Shichong to the west of the city wall and leave the city gate, and Shen Guang behind him secretly praised Yun Shitai for his quick wisdom.

But the accident happened at this moment, and suddenly there was a neighing of horses in the urn city, and Wang Shichong, who was about to leave, couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "How can there be war horses in the urn city?" ”

Yun Shitai was frightened into a cold sweat on his back, and said for a while: "It may be the war horse of Prince Zhao, King Zhao came in the afternoon, and he went back to take a carriage, maybe the war horse stayed in Wengcheng." ”

How shrewd Wang Shichong was, how could he be fooled by these words, he asked with an extremely gloomy face, "Is that so?" ”

"The lowly position is just speculation, and I really can't think of anything else."

Wang Shichong commanded sharply: "Open the city gate!" ”

Yun Shitai was helpless, so he had to shout to the top: "Open the inner city gate!" ”

The soldiers in the city all looked at Shen Guang, Shen Guang looked back at the urn city, the two cavalry scouts had already returned, and the Sui army was about to enter the city, he was in his heart, and ordered: "Open the city!" ”

The inner city gate creaked open, at this time Wang Shichong was even more suspicious, the city gate was only three feet wide, he rushed into the urn city on horseback, and hundreds of cavalry guards followed one after another, at this time, Shen Guang couldn't wait for all the guards to enter the urn city, he immediately shouted: "Close the city gate!" ”

The direction of the inner city gate changed, and it began to creak and close, and the more than 100 guards in the city who had not had time to enter the urn city were taken aback and shouted one after another: "Open the door quickly!" ”

Shen Guang shouted at the head of the city, "Release the arrow!" ”

Hundreds of soldiers fired arrows at the city together, and more than 100 guards couldn't dodge and were shot down by arrows, and suddenly screams rang out.

Wang Shichong didn't think that the soldiers guarding the city gate were no longer his army, he just thought that these generals were doing private things in the urn city, otherwise he would not be the first to rush into the urn city, the light in the urn city was very dark, and he couldn't see the situation in front clearly, Wang Shichong had been running out of more than a hundred steps, and he didn't find any horses in the urn city, he was puzzled in his heart, and there was a sudden chaos behind him.

Wang Shichong rode his horse back, only to hear a miserable scream outside, seeing that the city gate was gradually closing, he knew that something was wrong, and shouted: "Go and crash open the city gate quickly!" ”

The guards didn't bring the bumper wood, so what hit the door, they had to dismount one after another, and pushed the city gate together, but the city gate weighed more than 10,000 catties, and it had to be opened from the head of the city, and the guards pushed the door desperately, but the gate did not move at all.

Wang Shichong was so anxious that he shouted: "Yun Shitai, I treat your father and son well, why do you want to mess around so much? ”

Shen Guang said coldly at the head of the city: "Wang Shichong, do you know me?" ”

Wang Shichong looked up, hundreds of torches were lit, and the city head was like daylight, Wang Shichong saw that the general of the city head was wearing the armor of the Sui army, and couldn't help but be surprised and asked: "Who are you?" ”

"In the Tenth Guard General of the Northern Sui Army, Shen Guang is also!"

Wang Shichong was so shocked that he took a few steps back, at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves behind him was like thunder, Wang Shichong turned around, only to see a cavalry rushing in from outside the city, as the first member of the Northern Sui general, the face is like a crown of jade, nearly six feet seven tall, like a jade tree in the wind, I saw that he was wearing an eagle helmet, wearing silver armor outside, wearing a soap robe, and the crotch of the war horse is a famous horse shaking his head jade lion, holding a pair of plum blossom bright silver hammers, it is the fourth fierce general Pei Xingyan Pei Yuanqing in the world.

Wang Shichong recognized Pei Xingyan, and was immediately frightened, seeing that there was no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the ground, he couldn't help but shout, "My life is over!" ”

Wang Shichong's guards roared in unison, urging the horses to kill Pei Xingyan together, and dozens of weapons killed Pei Xingyan from all directions.

Since the cavalry was dispersed to the various armies, Pei Xingyan was no longer the chief general of the cavalry, he was the third general of the Northern Sui Dynasty, controlling the army of nearly 50,000 people, he no longer pursued speed, so he changed the weapon from the horse lance to the silver hammer, and won on the battlefield with strength.

Pei Xingyan didn't recognize Wang Shichong hiding in the shadows, he didn't expect Wang Shichong to be in Wengcheng, only to see dozens of Zheng cavalry killing him, he couldn't help sneering, swinging the hammer and hitting, only to see the double hammer flying up and down, all kinds of weapons were shocked into the sky, where the sledgehammer passed, the guards burst brains, broken bones, dead bodies everywhere, the guards couldn't resist, and retreated.
