Chapter 129: The Empty City
The sky slowly brightened, and the head of Yungo City was silent.
Hundreds of paces away, Ma Tengjun's scout Tanma was looking forward to watching, but he didn't dare to get too close.
"What's going on?"
One of the scouts scratched his head and muttered to himself in confusion, "How can there not be a single person in the city, it can't be that the defenders in the city have fled overnight, right?" Scared, it's really possible, you have to do your best. ”
Before he could finish talking to himself, he hurriedly beat his horse and galloped back.
Soon, Ma Teng received news that there was a suspected change in Yunwu City.
"What's going on, have you ever found out?"
Ma Teng was puzzled and asked with a frown.
The scout replied, "The last general went to the city to inquire in person, but he did not see a single soldier in the city. However, the gate was closed, and the last general did not dare to act without permission, so he came to report to the lord and ask the lord to decide, whether to raise troops to attack the city? ”
Ma Teng frowned and said, "What the hell is Luo Zheng'er doing?" ”
All the generals under the tent are looking at me with your eyes, and no one knows what is going on.
Pang De thought for a while and said, "It's better to send two thousand foot soldiers to attack the city and find out the truth!" ”
Ma Teng said categorically: "Okay, just follow the words of the order, and listen to the order." ”
"The last general!"
A majestic Qiang man hurriedly stood under the tent and gave up his hands to stand by.
Ma Teng said in a deep voice: "Lead two thousand foot soldiers to attack the east gate of Yunwu." ”
"The last will obey."
Qiang Han shouted his order, and then rushed out.
After a short time, a group of 2,000 foot soldiers rolled out of the camp and went to the east gate of Yunwu.
When there were still more than 100 steps away from the east gate of Yunwu, General Qiang did not dare to be careless, and ordered 2,000 foot soldiers to form a whole team on the spot, line up in a neat military formation, put the sword and shield soldiers in the front, protect the formation, and slowly advance to the city.
There was silence on the city, not to mention people, not even a ghost could be seen.
When he entered the fifty steps, there was still no movement at the head of Yunwu City.
He was suspicious, but he didn't dare to be careless, his nerves collapsed, and he steadily advanced with two thousand foot soldiers.
Until he came within ten paces of the moat, there was still no movement on the top of the city.
"What's going on?"
Yan Dang wondered: "Could it be that Luo Zhengxiao'er's army ran out overnight?" ”
A junior colonel asked, "General, what should I do, do you want to attack the city?" ”
Yan Dang scolded: "Nonsense, Lao Tzu is here to attack the city, what can he do if he doesn't attack the city?" ”
"Ugh!"
The Qiang people choked and didn't know how to speak.
Yan Dang's face turned grim, and he shouted: "Listen to Lao Tzu, whoever is the first to kill the head of the city, Lao Tzu will give him the first credit." If he can break through the city gate in one fell swoop, and when Yunwu is defeated, Lao Tzu will personally go to the lord to ask the brothers for credit. ”
"Whoa!"
The two thousand foot soldiers shouted excitedly, and their fighting spirit was high.
"Give it to Lao Tzu!"
With a loud shout, two thousand foot soldiers immediately rushed up, put the siege ladder on the city, held a shield in one hand and a saber in the other, and quickly climbed along the ladder to the city head, and soon jumped on the city wall.
"General, no one!"
The Qiang soldiers who had climbed to the top of the city first turned around and shouted, looking uncertain.
A Qiang soldier shouted: "Don't talk about people, there is not even a ghost." ”
"What the hell is Luo Zhengxiao'er doing?"
He was so shocked that he couldn't figure out what was going on. However, no matter what the hell Luo Zheng'er is doing, now is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions. had to break Yungo, which was a great achievement. He didn't think much about it, and when he thought of the merits in front of him, he became excited and shouted: "No one is the best, open the city gate for Lao Tzu and welcome the army into the city." ”
"Yes."
A small colonel who climbed to the top of the city roared and immediately rushed down the city with dozens of soldiers.
Several other soldiers rushed down to the castle tower and cut the cable holding the drawbridge with a slash.
He said loudly again: "Hurry up and report to the lord, just say that there is no one in Yunwu City, and the army of Luo Zheng does not know where to go." ”
"Yes."
Some of the soldiers had already agreed, and they quickly beat their horses and left.
With a loud bang, the drawbridge fell and landed on the piers.
Immediately, in the sound of squeaking and rubbing, the heavy city gate was pushed open by dozens of soldiers.
He roared loudly and rolled in with two thousand foot soldiers.
Two thousand foot soldiers ping-pong all the way in, and soon took control of the north gate, overturning all the nearby places where people could hide, as if a group of cattle rushed into the wheat field, wantonly destroying, and the houses near the east gate were soon unshaped.
For fear of deception, he did not dare to divide his troops, so he only guarded the east gate and waited for the arrival of Ma Teng's army.
Not long after, Ma Teng personally led 5,000 cavalry to arrive first.
When he went out of the city, he knelt on one knee and said loudly: "My lord! ”
Ma Teng reined in the war horse and asked in a condensed voice, "What's going on?" ”
Yan Dang said loudly: "The last general doesn't know, Luo Zheng Xiao'er's army doesn't know where it went, the last general led the army to arrive when there was not a single soldier in the city, the last general was afraid of deception, and did not dare to divide the troops to attack the remaining three gates, so he waited for the lord's army to come." ”
Ma Teng said 'um', nodded and said: "What you did is right, Luo Zheng is scheming, this matter is very strange, it is true that you can't be careless, so as not to fall for Luo Zheng'er's tricks." ”
Only then did he get up and step aside, and respectfully invited Ma Teng into the city.
Five thousand cavalry immediately rolled into Yungo, and divided into three teams to attack the remaining three gates.
Ma Teng stayed at the east gate, waiting for news while waiting for the rest of the army to arrive.
Soon, another 5,000 cavalry arrived, and news also came from the south, north, and west gates, that there was not a single soldier in the city, and that the three gates had already been controlled by the three gates, which was unbelievably relaxed, as if Luo Zheng had given up on Yunwu.
In this way, he entered and occupied Yunwu, but Ma Teng was not happy.
Luo Zheng is scheming, and he doesn't look like a master who is willing to bow down and admit defeat.
Now it has disappeared overnight, and if there is no ghost in it, he will not believe that he killed Ma Teng. That being the case, there must be some conspiracy. The enemy in the open place is not afraid, but the enemy who is hiding in the place is most afraid.
Ma Teng couldn't help but be on guard, the examples of Han Sui and Zhang Meng were placed there, and he couldn't be careless.
Otherwise, if there is a slight omission, if you fall into Luo Zheng'er's tricks, you will be in danger of defeat.
But Ren Ma Teng thought about it, and he couldn't understand what tricks Luo Zheng had.
As for the generals under the account, except for Pang De, who occasionally uses his brain to analyze some military affairs, the rest of the generals are almost all rough men who don't like to use their brains, and they don't need to think about it if they see through Luo Zheng's tricks.
After waiting for an hour, Pound finally arrived with a follow-up army.
Ma Teng did not dare to be careless, withdrew all 10,000 cavalry and stationed them outside the city, and only ordered the infantry to take over the city, and at the same time launched a carpet search for Yunwu, hoping to find out the movements of Luo Zheng's army through the clues.
