Chapter 507: The soldiers are treacherous, and Peng Cheng has made contributions

Sijiang City, in the city lord's mansion, the generals of the Northern Underworld Army gathered together to discuss the attack on the Eastern Imperial City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"General Bai Qi, this time the lord sent Kong Ming here, firstly, to assist the general in attacking the Eastern Imperial City, and secondly, to come with the lord's order!"

Zhuge Liang took Bei Minghao's order, and rushed to Dead River City all the way.

"Oh, I don't know what the lord's order is? Kong Ming might as well say it directly! ”

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was quite solemn, Bai Qi looked around and asked in a condensed voice.

"Bai Qi listened to the order and ordered you to capture the Eastern Imperial City within half a month and cut off the north-south connection of the coalition army, there must be no mistake!"

"The last general will obey the order!"

Bai Qi immediately knelt down when he heard this, and took Bei Minghao's order very solemnly.

"You have also heard it, this time we must unite as one, take the Eastern Imperial City in one fell swoop, and welcome the arrival of the lord!"

"Follow the general to the death!"

The generals shouted loudly and bowed down to receive the order!

"Yue Fei, Ma Chao, and Long He listened to the order, and ordered the three of you to lead an army of 30,000 and set off immediately, aiming at Pengcheng, you must take Pengcheng within seven days and cut off the reinforcements of the Eastern Qin army!"

"The last general commands!"

When the three of them heard this, they immediately took the order.

"Zhao Yun, Li Cunxiao, and Luo Cheng listened to the order, and ordered the three of you to lead an army of 20,000 to go north out of the city at night, and be sure to take the northern pass of Yongzhou within seven days, and cut off the enemy army going south of Zhenzhou!"

"The last general will obey the order!"

That night, Yue Fei and Zhao Yun each led their armies, taking advantage of the cover of the night, and quietly left Sijiang City.

At noon on the second day, the army of the South Road led by Yue Fei had already reached the outside of Pengcheng.

There were 20,000 defenders in Pengcheng, and the defender was Cao Jingzong, a general under Xiao Yan.

"Pengju, there are 20,000 defenders in Pengcheng, and the defender is Cao Jingzong, how do you think our army should attack?"

Ma Chao and Long He rode war horses, walked around Yue Fei, looked at the defenders who were waiting in the city, and asked.

"Meng Qi, Pengcheng is heavily defended, and this Cao Jingzong has a good ability to use troops, so Pengcheng can't be attacked, but can only be outwitted!"

"Oh, Pengju didn't think of a way?"

"I have some thoughts, go back first, and talk about it when it gets dark!"

Soon, night fell, and everything was quiet, but the defenders of Pengcheng did not dare to slack off in the slightest and waited for the battle.

Yue Fei ordered people to write on the cloth strip the words "If you don't open the city within three days, please surrender, and the day the city is broken, it will be the time to slaughter the city", and ordered people to shoot arrows into the city, and then rested.

The next day, when the inhabitants of the city woke up, they saw those words, and immediately the whole city went up to the defenders and down to the residents, and everyone panicked.

After all, the Northern Underworld Army does have a bad record of slaughtering the city, and as soon as they hear the ultimatum of the Northern Underworld Army, who can remain calm.

On the wall of Pengcheng, Cao Jingzong's face was extremely blue at this time, his eyes were full of anger, and he glared angrily at the military tent of the Northern Underworld Army outside the city.

Just because of Yue Fei's small strategy, Pengcheng fell into a state of rumors and soldiers.

"Pengju, on the day the city is broken, do you really want to slaughter the city?"

Ma Chao looked at Yue Fei, who was confident, hesitated slightly, and then asked.

"Hehe, Meng Qi is too worried, the lord is a benevolent and righteous teacher, how can I do such a bad thing, just to cause panic in the city, so that our army can attack the city!"

Yue Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly, after all, after Pengcheng went through the Taiping Uprising, he was impregnable, and if he wanted to take it within seven days, it was even more difficult than ascending to the sky, he could only break the situation from other aspects.

"Hmph, if he Cao Jingzong doesn't know each other and prevents our army from entering the city, why not slaughter the city? You need to know that troubled times use heavy codes! ”

Long He snorted coldly, he was the earliest minister of the dragon, and he was also the highest commander of the Black Dragon Guard, with a high position and power, and he was extremely angry with Cao Jingzong.

"General Long, please be cautious, slaughtering the city is too unbenevolent and righteous, the gains outweigh the losses, Yue is confident that he can take Pengcheng within three days, General Long doesn't need to worry!"

Yue Fei raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then opened his mouth to persuade him, he was really afraid of the dragon and slaughtered the city, then he would be too guilty.

After two days like this, the atmosphere in Pengcheng became more and more solemn, from the defenders to the Li people, all of them were terrified, for fear that the city would be ruined and people would die.

"General, what do you mean by this Northern Underworld? Neither attacking the city nor persuading it to surrender, after the next ultimatum, it will be silenced, is there some conspiracy that cannot be achieved? ”

Cao Jingzong's deputy general, Li Chongjing, looked at the direction of the Northern Underworld Army camp outside the city with a worried face, and asked.

"This is a trick of the Northern Underworld Army, intending to divide our army and reduce the morale of our army, hmph, how can this general let you get your wish?"

"The battle situation should be known today, you must not be careless, whoever dares to delay the fighter plane, the military law will deal with it!"

Cao Jingzong's face was solemn, he looked motionless at the outside of the city, and said coldly.

It was night, a waning moon hung high in the sky, emitting a miserable white light, and there was silence all around, silent, and unpopular;

Only the bonfires on the city walls burned diligently, and the Yongzhou troops patrolling back and forth one by one were full of people and endless;

"Pengju, the Yongzhou army is well defended, and it will attack at night tonight, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed!"

Ma Chao looked at the looming figure on the city wall and asked hesitantly.

"Hehe, it's okay, order down, and in an hour, launch a surprise attack!"

Yue Fei was noncommittal, smiled faintly, and then ordered.

An hour later, the Northern Underworld Army attacked, and Ma Chao and Long He took the lead and led the soldiers to attack Pengcheng!

Catapults, celestial crossbows, bed crossbows, special ladders, and siege engines have come in handy, and they have been rushed to Pengcheng.

Huge stones, like meteorites falling from the sky, fell fiercely on the wall of Pengcheng, smashing down the city wall one by one;

The heavenly crossbow shot a killing machine, and countless flying arrows pierced the sky, rushing into the Yongzhou army with a dense and rushing posture;

In comparison, the counterattack of the Yongzhou army on the city wall seemed quite monotonous and weak.

Time passed quickly, and half an hour later, Yue Fei suddenly ordered a retreat, and as soon as the sound of gold sounded, the Northern Underworld Army retreated at lightning speed;

When he was leaving, he also brought back the bodies of the fallen soldiers in an endless stream without the slightest chaos.

In this battle, the Northern Underworld army lost hundreds of people, and the enemy's losses were more than several times.

"Pengju, what do you mean by this? Why the sudden withdrawal? It would have been possible to kill the city wall soon! ”

Long He was quite annoyed, he took the lead along the way, and the enemy soldiers he killed were all broken, and he was able to achieve all the success soon, but he didn't expect Yue Fei to withdraw his troops, which made him feel that he had punched the cotton, which was quite uncomfortable.

"Hehe, General Long, don't be impatient, this is Yue's tired plan, two hours later, launch a night attack again, Yue is sure that he will definitely hit Cao Jingzong by surprise!"

Yue Fei smiled and said to Long Ji in a relaxed tone.

"Meng Qi, send an order, order the soldiers to start sleeping, and attack the city again in two hours!"

At this time, Cao Jingzong saw that the enemy's thunder was heavy and rainy, and he had some doubts in his heart, he didn't know what the hell this Yue Fei was doing, he had already gained the upper hand, and he actually withdrew his troops, which made him scratch his head.

"Give the order to go down, closely monitor the enemy's movements, and report the situation immediately!"

Subsequently, Cao Jingzong went down the city wall and went back to rest.

Two hours later, it was already the fourth watch of midnight, and the Yongzhou army was exhausted, yawning again and again, and gathered together in groups of three or five, and gradually fell asleep, and only scattered patrols remained on the city wall.

At this moment, the night was extremely dark, and under the cover of the night, the Northern Underworld Army quietly killed under the city wall, and just waited for Yue Fei's order, it could rush to the city wall with the momentum of thunder.

"Order the Iron Eagle to attack, be sure to control the city wall and open the city gate within a quarter of an hour!"

When Yue Fei set off, Bai Qi sent a team of 300 Iron Eagle Ruishi to assist Yue Fei, and this was the moment when Iron Eagle Ruishi showed his might.

Like a gecko swimming on the wall, the Iron Eagle Ruishi climbed the city wall with great ease, evaded the patrolling Yongzhou soldiers, entered the city, and touched the direction of the city gate.

Under the city wall, the Yongzhou army fell asleep, leaning on the city wall one by two and falling asleep.

"Up!"

Just waiting for the commander to give an order, hundreds of iron eagles rushed to the direction of the city gate like lightning, and killed the defenders under the city and opened the city gate together!

"Squeak..."

"Boom..."

"Ahh Oh no, the enemy has come in..."

"Brothers, get up quickly, the enemy is in..."

With the opening of the city gate, the Yongzhou army woke up like a dream, and when their faces turned pale, they ran and shouted, rushing towards the city lord's mansion!

"The whole army obeys the order, rush with me, and if there is any resistance, it will be killed!"

The dragon's face was full of evil energy, the tiger's eyes flashed with a cold light, he shouted angrily, held the purple dragon silence gun, and rushed into the city on horseback!

"General, it's not good, the city is broken!"

Li Chongjing led the army to resist on the one hand, and sent people to inform Cao Jingzong on the other.

Cao Jingzong was dressed in armor in a hurry, still in a state of confusion, he never imagined that Pengcheng was such a majestic city, and in just three hours, it was quietly broken!

"What's going on? How did the city gate open, could it be that there was a traitor? ”

Cao Jingzong grabbed Li Chongjing, stared at him, and roared.

"General, I don't know why the city gate opened, I only heard the enemy's shouts of killing, and then, the Northern Underworld Army rushed into the city..."

Li Chongjing was also in a trance, he knew that there was an Iron Eagle Warrior in the Northern Hell Army, and climbing the wall was as simple as walking.

"Yue Fei, my [day] your ancestor, you dare to deceive me!"

At this moment, Cao Jingzong didn't know that he had been fooled, this was Yue Fei's strategy to exhaust his troops, first attack the city with the power of thunder, and then stop fighting, making him mistakenly think that he was going to attack again tomorrow;

Who would have thought that this Yue Fei would do the opposite and make a comeback again;

As the so-called false and real, real and false, this is the trick of the soldier, he has committed the taboo of the soldier, this crime should be punished!

"General, the morale of the enemy army is like a rainbow, the combat strength is strong, our army is not an opponent, what should we do now?"

Li Chongjing was also frightened at this time, and he had already lost his attention, just waiting for Cao Jingzong to make an idea.

"Whew... The order goes down, leaving a group of men and horses to be broken, and the others will retreat with me from the north gate..."

At this moment, the general trend has gone, and any further entanglement can only increase casualties, which is meaningless;

After taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger in his heart, Cao Jingzong gave the order to retreat.

On the other side, Yue Fei got the news of Cao Jingzong's retreat.

"Long will chase after him personally, and he will take off Cao Jingzong's head and dedicate it to the front of the tent!"

As soon as Long He heard that Cao Jingzong was retreating, he wanted to raise troops to chase after him.

"General Long is slow, the so-called poor Kou Mo chases, since Cao Jingzong has retreated, he will naturally not give our army a chance to take advantage of, don't lose big because of a small loss, I'll control Pengcheng later!"

Yue Fei naturally wouldn't allow Long to make a mistake and pursue Cao Jingzong.

Soon, when the last wave of the Yongzhou army was extinguished, Pengcheng was finally taken, and at this moment, the people of Li in the city were trembling, walking on thin ice, as if they were on the edge of the abyss... (To be continued)
