Chapter Ninety-Eight: Ambush

The battleable soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion have all gathered, and there are only seven or eight hundred people, of which more than 600 are elites, and the rest are the guards and miscellaneous servants in the City Lord's Mansion. Speaking of which, in addition to a few dozen or so who specialize in pleasing the city lord, the strength of these miscellaneous servants and guards is also good, plus they are well-armed, have sufficient bows and arrows, and defend the wall, killing and wounding two or three times as many enemies in a day at the cost of less than 200 people.

The order to break out was given as soon as the battle was over, and in order to ensure the success of the breakout, the lord ruthlessly abandoned the women he favored, and brought only his own wife, who had no children. In order to prevent leakage of information, he also locked up other people who had no combat power. In fact, he wanted to kill them all, but he was persuaded by the middle-aged scribe, but this is enough to show his ruthlessness.

Although he has been doing evil for several years, the city lord is still good to the people in his own mansion, so some people are willing to serve the city lord and serve as the first to die, and some people are willing to stay behind and block the pursuers from entering the city lord's mansion.

The city lord in armor looked at the seven carts driven by two horses, which were full of weapons and food, and as for the funds, they were all in the storage ring in his hand, a full 30,000 gold, which was his capital for his comeback, and it was also his last capital. He had already ordered that after they left, someone would immediately set fire to the City Lord's Mansion and leave nothing for the enemy.

"Let's go!" With the city lord's order, the back door of the city lord's mansion opened, and dozens of firsts rushed out first, killing the enemy camp. After all, the City Lord's Mansion is not like a city, there is no moat and drawbridge, and as soon as the pioneers went out, they met the soldiers patrolling the camp in Baizhen, and they immediately became entangled and fought.

Maybe he didn't expect the people in the city lord's mansion to be so bold to kill, most of the people in the other party's military camp were sleeping, and there were only a small number of people on night duty, and the city lord only felt that the enemy camp was in chaos in an instant after being attacked.

"What should I do?" The lord of the city asked the middle-aged scribe beside him.

"If we don't go out of the city, we are still in danger, and before they can react, we rush to the north gate at full speed to take the city and get out of the city. We don't have much time," the middle-aged scribe said calmly, and for safety, he also put on his clothes and armor, "Hurry up, those people will delay the pursuers for us." ”

"Let's go, head towards the north gate." The city lord let out a low cry, and under the escort of the third-order general, he got into a carriage and began to head towards the north gate.

When they gradually moved away from the City Lord's Mansion, the Baizhen camp outside the back door gradually quieted down, after all, there were only a few dozen dead soldiers, and it didn't take long for all the Baizhen troops who reacted to be wiped out.

There were 3,000 people in the barracks outside the back gate, most of them were the troops of Baizhen, and after Ke Jin captured the north gate, he made a special trip to take command. After eliminating the dead soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion, he did not care about the city lord and his party who were gradually leaving, but ordered Wang Ying and Qiu Ying to immediately lead people to rush into the City Lord's Mansion. At this time, a fire had already ignited in the City Lord's Mansion. When the camp of Yunshui Town outside the front gate found out that it was not necessary to organize an attack on the troops, they were attacked by the people who were left behind, these people were either injured and could not recover, or they had the intention of life and death, and they didn't mind showing the last madness, and they blocked the front door for a quarter of an hour, killing dozens of people, making the commander of Yunshui Town angry.

When the fire was finally extinguished and counted, it was found that most of the City Lord's Mansion had been burned down, which made Liu Feng depressed.

The city lord and his party who left found that there were no pursuers behind them, and breathed a sigh of relief, in this way, the success rate of capturing the north gate and leaving was even higher, and they subconsciously ignored the reason why there were no pursuers behind them.

Aoshan City is not big, and the whole city seems to be asleep, only the sound of their team marching in a hurry. Under the rapid march, in a quarter of an hour, the north gate was already seen, black and oppressive, without a little light.

"Great, it seems that the news of our breakthrough has not yet come, let's go, go and take the city gate immediately, and then the sky will be high and the birds will fly." The lord of the city poked his head out of the carriage and was overjoyed to see this.

The third-order commander glanced at the middle-aged scribe and saw that he seemed to be pondering something, but he didn't react. Seeing his actions, the city lord was dissatisfied and said: "I am the city lord, your leader, now, kill it immediately." ”

Seeing that the middle-aged scribe was still silent, the commander had no choice but to order to move forward, and gradually approached the city gate, but the more this happened, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't speak. When he arrived at the city gate, it was still silent, and he couldn't help but say, "This journey is quite smooth......

At this moment, the middle-aged scribe finally reacted and shouted: "Stop, stop, there is an ambush ......" He has been thinking about it all the way, and always feels that he seems to have ignored something, so he has no time to respond to the commander, until he heard the word "smooth" said by the commander just now, and finally thought that this road is indeed too smooth.

The exit from the house went smoothly, the escape went smoothly, there was not even a single pursuer, and the same was true at the city gate, and it was still pitch black. It looks very good, but you must know that the city must at least have night guards, light bright lights, and patrol from time to time, not to mention in wartime, it should be more strict, how can it be so dark and silent. There is only one result, and that is that the enemy is deliberate, and there is an ambush ahead.

But he woke up too late, and at the moment when he spoke, countless torches lit up above and below the city, turning the dark night red. The people of the City Lord's Mansion walked in the darkness for half the night, and suddenly saw the light, and involuntarily raised their hands to cover their eyes. And when they got used to the fire, they were horrified by what they saw.

On the towers of the city, on the city walls, and even on the roofs of the houses a little farther away, there were densely packed people, at least thousands, condescendingly, and had opened their bows and crossbows aimed at them. In the doorway of the city, a well-equipped army led by a mighty general is rushing out to meet each other.

Liu Feng was very happy in his heart, when he used to watch that kind of ancient war drama, especially when he ambushed people at night, he was silent, and when the enemy approached, countless torches suddenly lit up and countless shouts sounded, and he couldn't help but despise it in his heart, feeling too fake. But when you feel it yourself as the protagonist, it goes without saying.

He was right, and the enemy was once again in his trap.

Yes, he was a gamble, a chance to choose one of three. During the day, Bai Jianhe's elite rest was just for this scene at night. For him, he called He Jinshui, Ning Tianfeng and others, who were familiar with the city lord, and even the beggar housekeeper of He Mansion - it was he who secretly sent information about He Jinshui to Ning Tianfeng, and He Yun found him as soon as he entered the city. Together, they analyzed the next movements of the City Lord's Mansion, and came to the conclusion that they would not defend the City Lord's Mansion and would definitely break through.

After the City Lord's Mansion broke through, there were only two directions to choose from, either Jade City or Dinghai Town. The South Gate will definitely not go, for reasons needless to say. The west gate is closer to Dinghai Town, the east gate can go to the jade city, and the north gate can go to both sides. Further analysis minimizes the probability of going to Jade City, because everyone knows that the city lord is afraid of death, but it cannot be completely ruled out, and the north gate and west gate are not necessarily.

The result of their discussion was to lure the people of the City Lord's Mansion out and gather and annihilate them at the lowest cost. But Bai Jian objected, he felt that the elite he had trained needed a duel with the elite of Aoshan City, instead of only bullying the weak like before, because only by fighting with the strong army would he become stronger.

Liu Feng agreed to Bai Jian's request, the overall situation was decided, and he didn't care how much elite Bai Jian's suggestion would lose - he had gradually adapted to the game, to blood, death and parting.

Bai Jian suggested choosing the West Gate for ambush, because it was closer to Dinghai Town from the West Gate, and everyone else agreed. But Liu Feng ignored public opinion and insisted on setting up an ambush at the north gate. It's not how high his intelligence is, but that he has watched too many movies, television and novels, and generally the best choice is often the least chosen.

Once the plan has been decided, it needs to be kept confidential. So in the day of siege warfare, military adjustments were constantly made. The back gate of the City Lord's Mansion was replaced by the strongest execution of the White Town Army, and the soldiers of Yunshui Town at the front gate were gradually transferred 3,000 people after entering the dark, and quietly went to the north gate to set up an ambush.

Ke Jin, who is outside the back door of the City Lord's Mansion, is not only responsible for cooperating with the City Lord's Mansion to act, but also responsible for observing the movements of the City Lord's Mansion. If the City Lord's Mansion really went towards the East and West Second Gate, he would just fight to forcibly surround and intercept the damaged city.

The opportunity to choose one of the three, fortunately, Liu Feng chose the right one, so the people from the City Lord's Mansion sat on the wax.

"What should I do, sir?" The city lord who came out of the carriage trembling put the life-saving straw on the middle-aged scribe, he knew the ability of this third-order wise general, and he paid attention to many things before, although he didn't listen to him in many things, but he knew his ability, so even if he sometimes didn't speak well, he still kept him in the mansion.

"For the sake of today, either surrender or fight to the death!" The words of the middle-aged scribe shattered the last trace of illusion of the city lord.

"What about going back the way you came?" The lord of the castle still struggles.

"If they don't have a chance, they will not let us escape if they have spread a wide net. Now that we're in the net, it's time for them to close it. The pursuers behind should be steadily advancing. The middle-aged scribe sighed.

Perhaps to confirm the accuracy of what he said, as soon as the words were finished, the lord of the castle saw that a fire began to appear in the rear of the darkness at first. Yes, after Ke Jin sent Wang Ying and the others into the City Lord's Mansion, he began to integrate the army and steadily followed in the direction of the people in the City Lord's Mansion.

"Then let's fight!" The city lord was calm, he knew that with his actions, even if he surrendered, there would be no life. He is not the kind of person who can sacrifice himself for the sake of others, preferring to sacrifice other people's lives for his own burial.

The commander of Aoshan City had already begun to reorganize the army, relying on seven enclosed carriages, facing the army of Baizhen, he could feel that regardless of the surrounding manpower, even the army of less than a thousand people on the opposite side was by no means weak, and its commander was even stronger.

It's a showdown between the elite.
