Chapter 25: Attacking the county
The night is dark and the wind is high, and it is the good weather for killing and setting fires.
There was a howl outside the city of Qiaoxian County, the sound of hooves rumbled, and the Xiliang cavalry came to walk their horses every once in a while.
After being harassed for two days and one night, the soldiers in the head of the city of Qian County were angry and didn't know how many times they scolded their mothers, and at first the military academy and the soldiers were very nervous, and they widened their eyes one by one and stared on guard.
waited until he found out that the Xiliang army was not trying to storm the city, and then he put his mind at ease.
Although I don't know what the Xiliang rebels are doing, the defenders at the head of the city are used to it.
At night, the Xiliang soldiers came to harass them every quarter of an hour as usual.
The soldiers looked listlessly at the figures swaying in the darkness below, their eyelids fighting.
As soon as the ugly time passed, the wind became stronger.
The Xiliang soldiers arrived again as scheduled, howling while galloping around the city.
Luo Zheng was fully loaded, his scorching eyes flickered in the night, and he waved his hand, "Ready." ”
The two hundred cavalrymen immediately turned over their horses, tied the hemp rope they were holding on to their waists, and lifted the reins.
Not far behind, two hundred selected soldiers also raised their big kites one after another, ready to wait.
Xu Chu also wore a suit of armor, holding a big kite and standing at the front, on the crossbar next to his hand, the long knife that was particularly conspicuous was tied to the crossbar by a rope, and the blade was fixed by two wooden boards.
The other Xiliang elite soldiers who were ready to fly into the city to fight were also dressed in this outfit, and they were all full of spirit.
After the afternoon exercise, I ate a big meat meal and rested, and slept for three hours, and I had already nourished my spiritual body.
"Let's go."
Luo Zheng saw that he was ready, and immediately waved his hand and took the lead in urging the horse to run.
The rest of the Xiliang cavalry who were in charge of pulling the ground also shouted loudly in unison, urging the horses to start running. Due to the direction of the wind and the direction of running, each soldier was about five or six steps behind the soldier in front, and the position of the station was also slightly staggered, so as not to control one badly, and pull the hemp rope of the two kites together, and the fun would be great.
Two hundred hemp ropes of more than 100 meters were quickly pulled straight, and the soldiers began to run with kites.
Xu Chu took the lead and ran effortlessly at the front, his tiger eyes shining brightly in the dark night.
The wind blew harder, and the kite soon lifted off the ground.
While urging the war horse to run, Luo Zheng kept changing direction so as not to fly too high.
Starting from the northeast corner of Qian County, I ran diagonally against the strong wind for a while, and soon came to the east gate of Qian County.
Luo Zheng turned around, and judged the height of the kite ground through the troublesome tilt angle, which was about five zhang, which was relatively safe, and immediately tightened his mind, and always paid attention to the hemp rope tied to his waist.
Soon, the tension of the hemp rope disappeared, and it was originally straightened diagonally, but at this moment it lost its tension and fell.
Luo Zheng's mind tightened again, and he was directly in chaos in the city, and then he heard Xu Chu's thunderous shouts sounding in the head of Qian County, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his heart that had been tense was also relieved.
At this moment, the two hundred Xiliang cavalry behind him were tied to their waists, and they kept losing their pull and falling to the ground.
The soldiers who flew into the night sky on the kite, saw the above the head of the city of Qiaoxian, and immediately drew out the swords fixed on the right hand side of the kite, decisively cut off the trouble of towing the kite, and jumped off the city to fight.
"Command the army, prepare to seize the city."
In the dark night, Luo Zheng's thunderous shouts sounded, and the wind spread far away.
Suddenly, the sound of the bull's horn was like a golden stone cracking the sky, rushing into the sky.
The thunderous sound of hooves soon sounded under the night sky, and quickly followed the wind.
There was a mess on the head of the city of Qiaoxian, and in the fire that was extinguishing uncertainly, screams, shouts of killing, and screams resounded all over the place. The guards of the city couldn't understand how the Xiliang rebels could fly from the sky, like ghosts and gods.
In the face of such an incredible thing, the defenders of the city were demoralized.
It's already good that you didn't throw down your weapon and run away.
Xu Chu was like a lion who rushed into the flock of sheep, and a big knife flew over, like chopping melons and vegetables, and the crying father and mother who were panicked and killed by surprise on the head of the city soon gathered the Xiliang soldiers who boarded the city.
The two hundred Xiliang soldiers who climbed the city to seize the pass did not all climb to the top of the city, some fell down and died in the dark night, and some flew directly over the city and fell into the city, and finally fell on the top of the city, less than 170 people.
Still, that's enough.
After Xu Chu gathered the Xiliang soldiers who climbed to the head of the city, he immediately divided the troops into two ways, and Li Meng led a hundred people to the city gate tower to cut off the drawbridge, and this guy personally took the rest of the people to run down the city wall and kill the city gate hole.
A full quarter of an hour later, with a loud bang, the suspension bridge at the east gate of Qiaoxian County fell down and fell heavily on the pier.
Luo Zheng immediately tightened the saber in his hand, staring at the closed city gate like a wolf.
In the cave of the city gate, the sound of killing shook the sky and was deafening.
Soon, in a 'squeak' sound, the closed city gate was pushed open by more than ten Xiliang soldiers.
"Kill."
Luo Zheng didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately urged the horse to kill it.
Behind him, two hundred horsemen followed closely, all with swords and angry eyes, and the murderous aura was exposed, urging the horses to rush wildly. The 7,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry who had just arrived did not stop, followed behind, and entered the east gate of Qian County with a thunderous momentum.
In the dimly located cave of the city gate, Xu Chu led dozens of Xiliang soldiers, and the defenders who were killing the city were defeated.
The Xiliang army was originally the elite, and the soldiers defending the city were just some county soldiers, who had been sparse for a long time, and they were caught off guard, and the brigade had no time to rush to support, how could hundreds of soldiers be the opponents of the Xiliang army like wolves.
When Luo Zheng led the army into the city, hundreds of soldiers guarding the east gate were immediately killed.
Qian County, Xu Mansion.
Xu Jing was awakened from his sleep, and suddenly shuddered.
"Someone, someone."
Xu Jing hurriedly collapsed while shouting.
A servant had already heard the sound and entered, "What does the master command?" ”
Xu Jing hurriedly burned his eyebrows and asked loudly, "Where is the shouting of killing?" ”
The servant replied, "It seems to have come from the east gate." ”
Xu Jing hurriedly said: "But the Xiliang rebels attacked the city at night? ”
The servant hesitated: "This, the villain doesn't know, why don't you send someone to inquire?" ”
Xu Jing scolded angrily: "Don't go quickly." ”
As soon as the servant ran out, a military academy rushed in with a blank face.
"My lord, something is wrong."
The military academy rushed into the outer hall and shouted urgently: "The Xiliang rebels flew up to the city from the sky, our army was caught off guard, and was defeated and retreated, now the east gate has been lost, and the Xiliang rebels have entered the city, please leave quickly." ”
"What?"
Xu Jing was taken aback and reprimanded: "The Xiliang rebels are not birds, how can they fly to the city from the sky, this is clearly a procrastination, An can deceive me, I am angry, I am really angry!" ”
The military academy punched his chest hard, and swore loudly: "My lord, the last general is by no means a prevarication, the soldiers of our army in the city have seen it, the Xiliang rebels are flying from the sky, if there is half a lie, the sect will not die well." ”
"Ugh!"
Xu Jing looked at the military academy as if it was a lie, and he was also a little dumbfounded.
The Xiliang army flew over from the sky and flew directly to the city, which was too incredible.
It's not that I don't believe it, but I don't dare to believe it.
Seeing that Xu Jing was still in a daze, the military academy urged repeatedly, "My lord, the Xiliang rebels have entered the city, please leave quickly." ”
Xu Jing came back to his senses at this time, sighed Haoran, and said quietly: "When Lord Kong was temporary, he entrusted me with the important task of guarding the safety of Yuzhou. ”
The military academy hurriedly said: "My lord, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" ”
Xu Jing's face was blank and he didn't move.
After repeated hard persuasion from the military academy, Xu Jingcai sighed, said nothing, and left in a hurry under the cover of the military academy.
East Gate.
After Luo Zheng killed the soldiers who were defending the city, he immediately gave a sharp order, "Leave 500 soldiers and horses to guard the east gate, and the rest of the army will kill the remaining three gates in three ways, clear out the remnants of the resisting soldiers in the city, and strictly order the people in the city not to go to the streets, and those who violate it will be killed." ”
"Yes."
All the military academies responded in unison, and then led the army to leave quickly.
Xu Chu rode on his own soldiers and stood on the ground, followed behind Luo Zheng with a knife, and was on strict guard.
Luo Zheng laughed and said: "Zhong Kang doesn't have to be too careful, this general has been through dozens of battles, he has survived blood, and he can survive until now It is considered a little martial arts, although he is not as brave as you, but it is not a problem to deal with a few pawns." ”
Xu Chuhu's eyes were full of power, and he snorted and did not answer.
Luo Zheng waved his hand, immediately clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and shouted: "Let's go, go to the Assassin's Mansion." ”
With the sound of hooves, Xu Chu and five hundred cavalry rode with him, and committed suicide and ran to the Shi Mansion.
