Chapter 098: Have the ability to compete
Galloping quickly, you can reach the border town from Ducheng in four days.
The border town, which had just experienced plunder and was devastated, welcomed the regent that night.
He came at night, very low-key, the defenders of the border town did not receive any news, and thought that he was attacked by the night, and opened the city gate in the scolding of Wuchi, who was dressed in military uniform.
The clatter of horses' hooves didn't last long, and the gates closed again.
Li Mu led people into the camp of the border town army, and the person who was in charge of leading the troops here came in a hurry, and he still smelled of alcohol.
After the leading general saluted, he couldn't wait to ask, "Regent, why are you here?" ”
Armored and iron-helmeted, Li Mu, who was full of murderous aura, sat in the camp, and his deep voice did not show a trace of fatigue.
"If I don't come, I'll have to meet the soldiers and horses of the Zhou State in the capital of Daiguo, right?"
The general who led the troops knelt down in fright: "The grain and grass failed to arrive on time, so that the army's heart was unstable, it was my incompetence, and now the regent brought the soldiers and horses over, and he was calm and unharmed." ”
He's turning around the corner and saying that he didn't lose the border town.
The corners of Li Mu's lips pulled up a subtle smile: "Inform me and tell the people in the border town to withdraw." ”
"Huh?"
The leading general suspected that he had misheard, and his rough face was full of confusion.
Wu Chi slammed him with a kick: "If you are told to go, you will go, if you don't take your life immediately, it will be cheaper for you." ”
"Yes, yes," who knows the regent's temperament? Dare to smash the things he confessed......
The general who led the troops got up and gave notice, but before dawn, the officers and soldiers gathered in groups with swords, guns and spears, and went door to door to inform the people to pack up their things and leave.
The people of the Zhou State have plundered the border towns through the city gates, those who can run, there is a place to run, they have already run, and what is left is nowhere to go, now let them all withdraw, Where do they drag their families and mouths?
But the officers and men did not give them room to argue, and shouted that they must withdraw within two days.
The people of Zhou were a little unbelieving when they heard the news, and the five princes who led the troops of Zhou personally went out of the camp to check the authenticity.
A few miles away, at the gate of the border town of Daiguo, the common people living outside the city were waiting outside with their families and mouths to wait for the city gate to open, so that they could go in and flee to the country of Daiguo.
If the border town army gives up here, their safety is not guaranteed, there is no way to live here, and everyone who can go has to go.
The closed gates opened every few hours, and more and more people gathered in, their faces not a little happy, all confused and worried about the future.
"It seems that the border town army is really going to withdraw!"
"Soldiers!"
The five princes of Zhou turned their horses, returned to the camp and ordered 50,000 soldiers and horses, which swept to the border towns like rolling thunder.
First, a small group of men and horses stormed, blocking the closure of the city gate that allowed the people to pass, and then the large group of men and horses rushed up, and the unarmed people scattered as soon as they rushed, and the city gate that was not even closed and had no sentry posts was better than imagined.
The people outside the city are running to death, and the city is quiet.
Tens of thousands of people couldn't even find a target to attack!
"Wait," the Fifth Prince's aides waved their hands to stop the soldiers and horses, suspicious, "It shouldn't be so clean, I suspect fraud." ”
I once went to the border town to investigate, and I was sure that the people in the border town were withdrawing from the people, "I am sure that the people have withdrawn." ”
Hearing this, the fifth prince glanced around and was silent for a few seconds: "Do you know that it's not an empty city plan staged by the border town army?" ”
If he is a dignified son, he is scared away by an empty city, and if he misses a good opportunity, how should others evaluate him?
The fifth prince clamped the horse's belly between his legs: "Give me a rush." ”
The soldiers and horses that had stopped at the city gate flooded in, divided into four parts, and searched in several directions, south, south, and north.
Li Mu, who gave up the camp and was in the highest building in the border town, sat on the top floor full of guards, and his ears were full of footsteps made by the soldiers of the Zhou State when they ran.
People have searched this side, and the unique accent of Zhou Guoren has sounded downstairs.
Li Mu waved his hand.
Wu Chi immediately gestured to the person who was hiding behind the window and was ready to go.
The man blew on the fire and lit the lead on a round ball, not much bigger than a palm, and threw it out with a sudden sound.
The ignited ball landed on the top of the Zhou soldiers, making a loud noise, and the resulting air wave shook the tallest building in the border town.
Wu Chi, who was checking the situation by the window, was suffocated by the impact of the air wave, his face was burned, and his ears were ringing, not to mention the Zhou soldiers downstairs.
System Seventy-Eight moved the big screen away: [The distance is too close, the building has also been bombed, and the doctor needs to leave quickly.] 】
Li Mu untied the cloak on his shoulders and threw it down, revealing his black and shiny armor.
"Let's go," he said.
This is just a signal that you can start closing the door and beating the dogs, and the border town troops who heard the signal came out from their respective hiding places, and surrounded the five princes of Zhou in the middle in all directions.
I don't know what kind of movement it was, and the five princes of Zhou came this way with people.
Poof-
Before Cong turned the road and showed up, Li Mu drew his knife and killed the horse of the five princes.
Wu Chi and the others, who had not recovered from the sound of the explosion for a long time, were startled and fought against the people of the Zhou State.
Their target was the five princes of the Zhou State, as the saying goes, the thief captures the king first, and the gathered border town soldiers climbed onto the roof and shot at the large number of Zhou people who were clustered in the narrow alley.
This was originally a small road for people to pass, and after the houses at the end of the alley were set on fire, the people of the five princes were completely trapped.
Other explosions in the distance brought the battle to a snap.
The five princes of Zhou were captured alive.
The 50,000 horses he led to the city, except for some that escaped, there were more than 40,000 people alive alone. But more than 40,000 people were terrified.
Anyone who sees their own people being blown up into blood foam can't have the heart to resist.
The leading general of the border town army knelt on the ground and begged for orders: "I am willing to take people out of the city to fight their backup." ”
Li Mu's hands were pressed against the long sword covered with blood, and on his handsome face, the killing intent had not completely dissipated.
He said, "No, this king has other plans." You take people to bury them on the way into the city, and you send men to guard them so that the people may pass by. ”
How good is it to strike while the iron is hot?
The general did not dare to say more, and ordered to go.
Wu Chi exclaimed, "The regent is injured? ”
He had sword wounds on his arms and legs, but he could not see them because of the armor.
Li Mu glanced at it casually, and even more concerned about the blood and dust stained on the armor, and instructed Wuchi: "Invite the five princes of the Zhou State to the camp." ”
"Shameless!"
The fifth prince, who was twisted behind him with his arms folded, struggled endlessly and scolded, "Despicable villain, set a trap to harm me, and have the courage to show your true skills to compete with me." ”
Dare to scold the regent?
What about the princes of other countries?
Wu Chi kicked him, "Soldiers are impermanent, you yourself are stupid to send to death, and you can't complain about others." And the ability of the prince of your Zhou Kingdom is nothing more than that. Take it away, and let the military doctor hurry over and bandage the 'king'. ”
