Chapter Forty-Eight: Skillful Entry into Shenwu (2)
The sky gradually brightened, and a new day finally began in two different expectations inside and outside the city, although the grassland people were not good at defending the city, but the ancient department of Baye still prepared as much as possible to defend the city such as sasswood and rolling stones, and nervously waited for the attack of the Tang army on the head of the city, however, what was unexpected was that the sun had already risen high, but the Tang army camp outside the city was always quiet, not to mention sending troops to attack the city, even the sound of the horn of the drill could not be heard, and there was no half a figure, Only more than 100 flags swayed in the wind.
"High Priest, did the Tang army withdraw?" Qu Li, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, stared at the blood-red eyes, but looked at the camp outside the city, and asked uncertainly.
"It's hard to say." Na Long smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The Tang people are cunning, if you trick our army out of the city, it is difficult to say, let's take a look." ”
"Hey!" Qu Li exhaled hatefully, walking around the city like a wounded leopard, his mood was irritable enough, and he was just thinking about giving the order to go out of the city to meet the battle, when he suddenly heard the soldiers at the head of the city shouting: "Great commander, the Tang army has come out." ”
"Huh?" Qu Li hurriedly strode to the city saucer, only to look, and immediately looked dumbfounded - the Tang army came out, all cavalry, but there were very few people, and there were only about 300 people in total, walking in a mess, not to mention the queue, and all of them were riding on horses crookedly, their clothes and armor were not neat, and they all yawned to the world.
Qu Lifu couldn't believe his eyes, he had fought with the Tang Army, and he knew how powerful the Tang Army was, but the performance of the Tang Army in front of him made him unable to understand it, and he was stunned for a while before he asked tentatively: "High Priest, what's going on?" ”
Not to mention that Qu Lifu couldn't understand it, even Na Long, who had studied in Chang'an, couldn't understand it, and after being in a daze for a while, he hesitated and said: "Great commander, the Tang army is afraid that there is an ambush, maybe it is deliberately pretending to be like this to lure our army out of the city, wait and see." ”
Deaf, when the small group of Tang troops swaggered to a place only more than 400 steps away from the moat, they simply stopped riding their horses, got off their horses in a disorderly manner, and sat on the ground one by one, laughing loudly, and many soldiers also used their breakfast with water bladders, very leisurely, as if the soldiers of the ancient division of Baye at the head of the city were all scarecrows.
"It's too bullying, the commander, his subordinates will take people down and kill him as a lamb!"
"Commander, let's fight."
"Great Commander, my subordinates are willing to take the men and horses of my headquarters to kill them."
……
The generals of the Baye Gu tribes gathered at the head of the city saw that the Tang army was so presumptuous, and they immediately became angry, shouting around Qu Liyu to fight. Qu Lisu was naturally angry enough, but as the commander of the ancient tribes of Baye, Qu Lisu was not a brave and unscrupulous man, seeing that the Tang army was so arrogant, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, and his face rose like a pig's liver, but he never dared to make up his mind to fight, just looked at the high priest Nalong.
Na Long frowned and thought for a while, then sighed and said: "It's not impossible to go to war, but you can't go out with the whole army, the commander can send some people to drive away those Tang troops, and see if there are any changes in the Tang army camp." ”
"Good! That's it! Qu Li nodded his head, glanced at the group of generals who were shouting for battle, and said with a cruel smile: "Who dares to go out and disperse those Tang troops?" ”
Heh, as soon as Qu Li's words came out, all the generals who were shouting just now closed their mouths, and they didn't even dare to gasp for a while, just kidding, if the Tang Army really had an ambush, the people who went out were only afraid that they would be sent to death, the big guys were not stupid, and no one wanted to die in vain, right?
The generals were silent, but Qu Lisu refused to stop there, pointing to a middle-aged man and saying, "Sadoha, you take the soldiers and horses of your headquarters out." ”
"I ......" Sadoha was immediately dumbfounded, hesitated and didn't dare to move, Qu Li lost his eyes and snorted coldly from his nostrils, twisted his beard, and showed a cruel smile on his face, this was Qu Li's signature action before the murder, and immediately scared Sadoha trembling, and hurriedly responded: "Yes." With a black face, he rushed down the city.
As the saying goes: hemp stalks are afraid of beating wolves, not to mention that Qu Li is suspicious of the city, and Li Zhen under the city is also full of worries - this group of so-called Tang cavalry is all those young and strong pretends, but they are wearing the clothes and armor left by the Tang army when they withdrew, and the horses they rode are also war horses captured last night, and the combat effectiveness is basically zero. Fortunately, Li Zhen was scheming, even if she was worried in her heart, she still smiled calmly on her face, laughing and talking with the "subordinates" next to her casually, while always paying attention to the movement of the city gate, not to mention, the gang of "subordinates" saw that Li Zhen was so determined, although he was still very scared in his heart, but he was able to stabilize the scene and did not flee on the spot.
"Lord Wang, there is movement." Li Ge, the captain of the personal guard who was sitting next to Li Zhen, immediately reminded nervously when he saw that the suspension bridge at the head of Kaiyang City was being lowered.
Damn, the dog's grass coward, really ran out, damn, I'm not mistaken, we can't see such an obvious plan to lure the enemy, it's really fucking a straw bale coward, damn it, it's going to be a bad dish! Don't look at Li Zhen's calm and calm face at this time, but in fact, she was beating a drum in her heart, and she almost slipped away on horseback, but when she thought that her self-preservation plan might be ruined, she had to grit her teeth and hold on.
Kaiyang City put down the drawbridge, and then the city gate was slowly opened halfway, the movement was naturally not small, a group of "Tang Cavalry" all discovered, immediately caused a riot, seeing that the big drama was going to go, Li Zhen immediately stood up, laughed and said: "Sit down, take the king's bow, let you wait for the good life to open your eyes." ”
The city gate was opened, but the suspicious Sadoha delayed for a while before hesitating to lead his more than 400 horsemen out of the city gate hole, before he ordered the whole army to attack, he heard a sharp howling sound, with Sadoha's many years of experience in the war, he could naturally distinguish that this whistling sound was the death howl of the feather arrow cutting through the space, the target was his own, he was busy bending his waist, trying to dodge the dark arrow that came to attack, the action was very agile, but it was too late, before he bent down, he felt a cold chest, and looked again, A feathered arrow had pierced his chest, and before consciousness dissipated, only one thought lingered in Sadoha's mind: this could not be!
The main general died before he even crossed the suspension bridge, and the ancient tribes of Zibaye suddenly became chaotic, and those who walked in front wanted to retreat to the city, but the unknown people in the city gate wanted to move forward, and the entire city gate hole was suddenly crowded into a ball. Seeing that the situation was not good, Qu Li, who was afraid that the Tang army would take the opportunity to attack, gasped and shouted: "Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly!" As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly bowed his waist and took his head back from the city plate, without him, since the person who shot the arrow could shoot Sadoha at the hole in the city gate, then it would not take much effort to shoot himself on the tower of the city gate, Qu Lishu did not want to become the target of the archer.
The people of the Tang Dynasty are still martial, especially the border people, the vast majority of the border people can ride horses and shoot arrows, this gang of young and strong border people disguised as the Tang Dynasty cavalry is also an extraordinary horse archer, but they have never seen such a magical archery as Li Zhen, for a time the cheers were thunderous, the cheers came and went, and the noise was non-stop.
Whew, damn it, it's so dangerous, next time I'll never play any empty city tricks, and I'm scared of a heart attack! Seeing that the head of Kaiyang City was chaotically collecting the suspension bridge and closing the city gate, Li Zhen's hanging heart finally let go, laughed, threw the bow to Li Ge casually, sat down again, and talked nonsense with his subordinates with a smile.
The sun is rising higher and higher, and in the blink of an eye, it is already four o'clock, the Tang army has not launched a siege operation, and the ancient department of Baye in the city no longer sends people out of the city, the two sides are so deadlocked, but it is also very peaceful, if it is not for the swords and guns on the city, just looking at the lazy appearance of the Tang army, you will definitely misunderstand that the Tang army is on vacation.
Ha, almost, grandma's, if you don't leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave later! Li Zhen looked up at the sky, estimated the time in his heart, stood up, turned over on the horse, waved his hand and said, "Get on the horse, withdraw!" "Together" Tang Cavalry "may be because of sitting for a long time, or maybe it is the reason for panic, many people can't even stand up, the last horse is very difficult, and there are several people who fall off the horse, Li Zhen rolled his eyes, and it took the old nose to make a neat formation, and he didn't dare to return to the camp again, and rushed straight to the direction of Shenwu with a whip on his prancing horse.
These strange behaviors of the Tang army made the people of the Baye Gu at the head of the city unable to understand it, and no one knew what the Tang army wanted to do, until Li Zhen had already gone far away, and the high priest Na Long came back to his senses, paused and said: "Fooled, Great Commander, I'm waiting to be fooled!" At this time, there must be no Tang army in the camp, alas! ”
"Ahh Qu Li's mouth immediately opened wide, and he didn't close it for a long time, and swallowed his saliva with difficulty: "What's the matter?" ”
"Alas, I'm afraid that the Tang Army's move is not aimed at our army, it seems that the main force of the Tang Army has arrived, and the target should be Shuozhou, where the eldest prince is located, our department can't stay here for a long time, hurry, the commander, we will withdraw immediately, go to kill the tiger's mouth, no, go to Yungang, be fast, otherwise it will be too late." Naron stomped his feet and screamed.
