Chapter 16: Fear and Temptation
(Thank you for your support!)
The intensity of the next battle was also limited, but Ti Mizhu was not completely brave and strategic, and he used Yan Qin's tactics to learn and use, and he easily opened his mouth when he temporarily captured a small officer of the defenders of the Sword Gate, and after a drum fell, he went straight to the county seat of Jiange to kill, but it took a lot of trouble to attack the county seat of Jiange.
Keti Mizhu rode forward quickly, and when he arrived at the city of Sword Pavilion, it was nearly five watches, and the sky was about to dawn. All the way to the battle and victory, but Ti Mizhu in the heart of the happy, and thought that God did not know, the ghost did not know, for a while I forgot to hide the traces, so coincidentally, just in the north gate of the Sword Pavilion on duty of the officer to get up at night, this guy is also bold, not to find a thatched house at night, directly standing on the city tower on the chic open, is comfortable, raised sleepy eyes, browsed the dawn of the country, suddenly saw a military horse to kill the Jianzhou coming, this guy is excited, even the words forgot to receive, after all, just after the war, vigilance is still there, and do not speak, Just holding on to the battlement, the sky is not dark, and at a glance, I saw that the color of the flag and uniform of the coming army was not the Xichuan Army, and immediately shouted:
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
While running to the city tower to beat the police drum, he ran two steps before realizing that his pants were not mentioned, so he hurriedly lifted his pants with one hand and picked up the drumstick with the other hand to knock it. The soldiers who were sleeping soundly hurriedly dressed and looked for weapons, and ran to the city tower in a hurry, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air one by one. Although all of them had eye droppings in their eyes, the soldiers all came to their senses in an instant, and under the instruction of the officers who shouted frantically, they went to the assassination mansion to report the news, and at the same time prepared the equipment to defend the city.
Although he couldn't understand what the shouting was (because of extreme shock, the voice of the officer on the city tower was seriously absurd), he also realized that something was wrong, and immediately urged the army to speed forward, and before he reached the city, he saw hundreds of soldiers standing up on the city tower, so he had to secretly scream a pity, hold down his subordinates, and order someone to report to Yan Qin.
When the light was slightly revealed, the defenders at the head of the city finally temporarily restrained the fear in their hearts and barely stood in formation, and Wen Dezhao also took his staff and subordinates to the city tower. At the same time, Yan Qin led the Chinese army to the city of Sword Pavilion, ordered the soldiers to spread out the formation, sit down and rest after standing in formation, wait for the siege equipment, and eat breakfast at the same time, and attack the city after breakfast.
"Keti Mizhu, why are you stopping?"
After the formation was established, Yan Qin rode on his horse, pointed at the city tower with a horsewhip in his hand and asked.
"As soon as the last general arrived at the city, he was discovered by the defenders, and the last general thought that it was not easy to attack on the back, and it would only increase casualties, so he stopped and waited for the general to come."
Keti Mizhu was blocked under the city, and he peed because he lost it, and he didn't feel that there was chagrin in his voice.
"Oh, have you tried to attack?"
Yan Qin didn't care about Keti Mizhu's emotions and continued to ask.
"The corporal under the command of the last general is limited, and he hurried all night, and he was really tired, and he never tried to attack."
Yan Qin heard that he rode his horse out of the battle and ran to the city, but when Ti Mizhu saw that the lord was like this, he also drove his horse to follow for some reason, and the other soldiers did not get Yan Qin's order, so they all stood still in place.
Yan Qin only jogged at first, but Keti Mizhu also followed, running all the way to the land of two arrows under the city. Keti Mizhu is a Khitan, he can't run wild on the battlefield, he can't help but feel a little aggrieved, seeing that the land of two arrows has arrived, he thought that Yan Qin would inevitably stop, and he was about to rein in the horse first, but he saw Yan Qin clamping the horse's belly and rushing out. Keti Mizhu couldn't help but be surprised, seeing that Yan Qin had already run away, he hurriedly clamped the horse's belly and whipped to catch up.
Wen Dezhao is the same as Liu Pi, just a sparse scribe, it is okay to write poems and drink, and it is a dream to kill the enemy in battle, and his courage is even more limited. On the city tower, Wen Dezhaozheng and the soldiers did not dare to look at the opponent's army formation from afar. Seeing the other party lined up, he didn't realize that the pores of his whole body were open, and when he found that the other party's soldiers were sitting in place to eat, he relaxed, raised his wrist, unconsciously wiped the cold sweat on his head, and the staff around him said flatteringly:
"It's so hot!"
Wen Dezhao didn't answer, and glanced at the staff, early in the morning, what's hot? Xuan remembered that he should also let his soldiers have breakfast, and was about to order someone to prepare, when he saw two horses galloping out of the middle of the opponent's army formation, thinking that the other party was going to attack the city, his body that had just relaxed couldn't help but get nervous again, and the others were no better, Wen Dezhao felt that he could not only hear his own heartbeat, but also the heartbeat of others. There were even soldiers on the tower whose weapons fell to the ground, and when he saw that the commander was looking at the city, no one cared about him, so he hurriedly picked it up again.
Unexpectedly, the other party only came out with these two riders, and the city tower couldn't guess what the other party was going to do for a while. The guard was still smart, and immediately reacted, saying:
"Lord Assassin Shi, this is to spy on the reality of our army, it must stop here, do you want the last general to take people out of the city to arrest those two?"
As soon as the words fell, Yan Qin rode his horse and rushed up. The two rushed to the city one after the other, causing an exclamation on the city tower, and couldn't make any reaction at all, Yan Qin rushed to the city when he saw the bright armor of a person under the city tower, and it was expected that it must be a guard, who had already taken off the bow and arrow, and in an instant opened the bow and arrow, and shot out, after shooting, he was already about to reach the city gate, and he was busy reining in the horse with one hand, and the horse was also psychic, and immediately turned around, Yan Qin and Keti Mizhu ran to the formation one after the other, only to hear a noisy sound on the city tower, but the soldiers in front of them were cheering, Then he heard the sound of strings pulling on the castle tower, but his reaction was really slow, and after the two of them ran out more than one arrow, a few arrows fell sparsely behind them.
After returning to the main formation, a personal soldier had already greeted him and said:
"General Marksman! Shoot the enemy's general! ”
When Yan Qin turned around, he realized that the direction he had just shot in was indeed missing the general. It is extremely difficult to shoot arrows immediately, although Yan Qin's archery skills are proficient, but he is not proficient to this extent, just now he just wanted to scare the other party, but he didn't expect to hit it crookedly, and he said secretly:
"Fluke!"
Behind him, he sat on a horse and hugged his fists:
"The general is both wise and brave, and he can be admired by Mizhu."
Keti Mizhu was conceited and brave among the generals of Shannan West Dao, and he had never been very obedient to Yan Qin, so Yan Qin wanted to provoke him at Jianmen Pass, but at this time, this was really from the heart, and Yan Qin naturally couldn't say that this was a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, and said:
"The general is not to show off his personal bravery, but to let the general know that the people standing on the tower of the city are just a rabble who have never been in battle, and they are vulnerable, if the general takes advantage of the situation to attack the city in the morning, I am afraid that Yan Qin will already sit in Wen Dezhao's assassination mansion at this time to ask for credit for the general!"
Keti Mizhu had just experienced it personally, so he naturally knew that what Yan Qin said was true, so he turned over and dismounted:
"Keti Mizhu delayed the military plane, please ask the general to punish the crime. May the general have mercy and let Koti Mizhu take the lead, and Keti Mizhu will mention the head of Wende Zhao to meet the general! ”
