Chapter 558: The one who guards the city is a fool

Qian Ming, the son of Guangbo Hou Qian Xi. After Guangbo Hou Qian Xi was killed by Du Xiao, he inherited his title.

He has always been a famous second ancestor in the capital, and this time, it seems that in order to compensate Qian Ming, Su Daosan promised him such a position as a grain governor.

Grain and herbs are the top priority, but Su Daosan's idea is that his army is pressing Xiaoqishan head-on, and Guo Dayong is pressing Liu Maosheng's cavalry. In addition, Shangyu is still in Hedong, it is not a dangerous errand, as long as he does not set the grain and grass on his own, when it comes to triumph, it will be a great achievement.

When he was about to leave Shangyu, Su Daosan also specially instructed Qian Ming not to do anything nonsense, as long as he stayed here for a month, he would be considered a meritorious service.

At first, Qian Ming did follow Su Daosan's words, and did what he should do every day. However, the battle report from the front came, and it seemed that Su Daosan was attacking with soil, and the consumption time might be relatively long. This made Qian Ming very depressed, he felt that Liu Maosheng didn't know where he had escaped anyway, and it was always okay to have some fun in this city.

During the day, Qian Ming organized the sergeants to play polo, and at night, his personal soldiers and slaves would bring him beautiful women from other counties to serve.

The sky is getting dark, the city gate has been closed, Qian Ming is taking a group of beauties at the moment to entertain a few fox friends from the capital, it is time to have fun.

"General, the horn sounded in the southwest direction. ”

Qian Ming frowned, looked at the friends and beauties around him, and said angrily, "Do you know how to knock on the door?"

"General, subordinates... Subordinate. ”

"Knock on the door, and then in the newspaper. ”

The thousand households who kept vigil were very faceless, but they still knocked on the door

"Report! ”

"Alright. There is no need to report it, I will talk about it tomorrow. ”

"But. ”

"Get out!"

Qianhu didn't enter the door this time, so he was sent away by Qian Ming, and then, there was a loud laugh from the relatives in the house.

Qianhu returned to the station depressed, Qian Ming didn't take it seriously, he still had to be careful, even if he ordered to strengthen his precautions.

And at this moment, Liu Maosheng began to move in the direction of the county seat, this time, they did not bring the giant wolf, because it was a mixed force of the Demon Dragon Cavalry and the Hexi Cavalry, and they learned the lesson of the last night attack, this time, everyone was riding war horses. The tactics couldn't be simpler. Let dozens of elites touch the city wall with hook locks, open the city gates, and complete the raid.

The situation has long been figured out, the entire Shangyu City, but only five thousand Royal Forest Army and Forbidden Army, even if they attack, they are confident that they can complete the task. Not to mention a raid?

It was also at this moment that the scalper who received the information felt that no matter what, he had to investigate it in person, not afraid of 10,000, just in case. He trusts his instincts too much, and although he can't figure out what went wrong, he can go, and it's always right.

At this time, the cavalry scouts had just returned to the camp to prepare and had been running outside for a day, and the people were sleepy and tired, and they were ready to rest one by one just after eating.

And the scalper gave an order, and even though the well-trained Beiyuan cavalry was a little dissatisfied in their hearts, they still immediately prepared and set off, and it took less than a quarter of an hour before and after.

When the scalper set off, Liu Maosheng's men had already climbed the city wall. Wei Lan and Li Fei rode up with the demon dragon, how could there be any failure, almost no movement, don't deal with the few sleepy royal forest troops on the city wall.

But trouble is also trouble, in order to save trouble, Qian Ming directly blocked the two city gates in the south and north of the city with various @carriage baggage. In addition, the commanders of the night vigil, who had strengthened their guards, sent people and had already begun to rush to the various city walls.

"That's not right. Liu Maosheng looked at the city gate not opening for a long time, and his heart was extremely nervous.

After a while, Li Fei turned down from the city again and said, "The city gate has been blocked, and the brothers are afraid that they will all climb over the wall." ”

"Over the wall?" Liu Maosheng was a little uncertain, looking at a team of people riding on horses, going over the wall and going in, without horses, how to do it?

Li Fei said a little anxiously: "Go up or retreat, we only have one chance." Once the defenders found the body, it would be difficult to enter. ”

As soon as these words came out, they completely helped Liu Maosheng make up his mind, because they had no other options.

"Leave a hundred men to guard the horses, and the rest, give them to me." Li Fei, you go up, take someone to find out the situation in the city, just tell me where there is grain and grass, and don't worry about anything else. ”

"Understood!" Li Fei clenched his fists, turned around a few arrow steps, and rushed to the city wall.

Outside the southwest of the city, the scalper spread out with a large group of men and horses, and still found the centurion who was dispatched, and when he looked at the corpse and listened to the centurion's report, he clenched his fist

"I knew it. My instincts can't be wrong. Since the Demon Dragon Rider is here, needless to say, the target must be Shangyu's grain and grass. All of them, reinforcements Shangyu. ”

After the order, he accelerated to Shangyu.

Liu Maosheng was standing on the city wall at this moment, their armor was not much different from the Imperial Forest Army's forbidden army, but everyone had a temporary white cloth tied on their shoulders. Anyway, I have good eyesight, and I am not afraid of not being able to see. Seeing the Hexi elites jumping onto the city, Liu Maosheng was very satisfied, but when he looked back, more than 200 Imperial Forest soldiers had already lined up neatly towards the city wall on this side.

"Oh no! have we been discovered?" Wei Lan looked nervous, looking at the more than two hundred Imperial Forest Army who had already driven over from the main road.

Liu Maosheng squinted: "No! If it had been discovered, it would have been more than 200 people. Then he turned to Shi Yan and said, "Let the brothers below hurry up." Wei Lan, be prepared, if you can deceive you, you will deceive, and if you can't deceive, you will kill it. ”

"Li Fei hasn't come back yet. Wei Lan nodded, and pulled the arrow from behind his back.

Liu Maosheng sighed: "The plan can't catch up with the changes. ”

The leader of the more than 200 Royal Guards was a centurion, who was already preparing to rest, but he was asked to go up the city wall. The three-meter-high city walls, with a dirty moat underneath, are simply a treasure trove for mosquitoes. He cursed, like the other centurion, and came towards the wall.

Looking at the black city wall, neither of them felt inappropriate, perhaps, it was the centurion who defended the city who was afraid of lighting torches to provoke insects!

"Zhang Laosan?"

"Zhang Laosan?" the two shouted twice, but no one answered. The two looked at each other in confusion

"Sleeping? Isn't it being told by the commander that something is wrong?"

"What are you scared about? I'd rather believe that I have met a ghost, this place is a hundred miles away from Xiaoqi Mountain, and there are tens of thousands of troops in the middle, how can it be attacked. ”

"That's right. ”

The two of them made up their own brains, and then led people to the city wall with a big grin.

Wei Lan heard the conversation between the two from a distance, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, beckoning the people behind him to get ready.

The two of them scolded and walked up to the city wall, looking at the people squatting under the city wall in the dark, thinking that they were asleep. shouted with a grin

"Get up. Where have you gone?"

He kicked on one of the soldiers, but he didn't move, which made him frown. Then, as soon as the evening breeze blew, he suddenly sobered up. The smell of blood.

"Yes ... As soon as the voice came out of his throat, he was pierced through the throat by an arrow, and then, the city wall became a metal storm, and suddenly the people blocking the steps of the city wall fell one by one, and the corpses were dumped backwards to spread more people.

The more than 200 Royal Forest Army who came to reinforce were knocked out of command at the first time, and the rest of the people were also panicked, and the people who went up and wanted to escape were crowded together, making the already narrow corridor even more tightly blocked.

Liu Maosheng poked his head out of the city wall, looked at the chaotic scene, and immediately shouted, "Shoot them." Shi Yan led people to outflank the back road. ”

Without saying a word, Shi Yan took a few good hands with war knives and longbows and crossed directly down the city, while Wei Lan began to shoot more than 200 people on the chaotic stairs. For a while, screams rang out. Although these two hundred people were killed in less than half an hour, Liu Maosheng was already sweating at this moment. Here, I'm afraid, the garrison overseer has already been alarmed.

"Li Fei hasn't come back yet?" Liu Maosheng frowned after culling the reinforcements, at this moment, there were still hundreds of people on the wall.

Li Fei did find the place where the grain and grass were, and there were at least tens of thousands of catties of grain in each open-air barn. The surrounding garrison is also very tight. He didn't know if the reason why it was so tight was because of the previous fireworks, which alerted the commander.

Li Fei was just about to leave to report the situation, but the commander of the garrison seemed to have received some news, and his brows furrowed. He knocked out one of the Guardsmen, then changed into his clothes and followed.

"Open the door. I am a cavalry general of the Chinese army, and Marshal Su ordered me to guard the grain and grass. The scalper had already arrived at the gate in the west of the city at this moment and took out the token.

The garrison Qianhu saw the black head and the head of the ox under the city wall, and knew that it could not be wrong. But the rules are passes, and identity tokens are not used, so he still shouted politely

"General Huang, wait a minute, I'll go and ask Gao Du for grain. ”

The scalper shouted, "What time is it now?" My people were killed by the dragon riders outside the city, and they must have come for the grain and grass, and let me into the city as soon as possible. ”

That's true. The commander was shocked, and he really didn't make a mistake in judgment. But at the moment, although the situation is urgent, he still can't open the door easily: "Senior General Huang, I'm sorry, I can only ask Gao Duliang to make a decision." Please wait a moment. ”

The scalper had no choice but to wait at the gate in the west of the city, and his heart was indeed extremely anxious.

Li Fei knew the situation, followed the commander halfway and then slipped away, in order to speed up, he even grabbed a horse directly after leaving the commander's sight and galloped to the south of the city to report to Liu Maosheng. Let the robbed horse of the Royal Forest Army centurion stomp his feet angrily, and chase after him with people.

The commander walked quickly, and this time, after a moment's consideration, knocked on the door anyway.

"Who? What's the matter?" Qian Ming was a little extremely corrupt, and he was happy, but someone came to disturb the good things.

The commander didn't dare to slack off and tell the scalper about the situation, but Qian Ming was even more angry.

"At night, where did the demon dragon rider come from? as long as we guard the city. If the scalper wants to find it, let him find it himself. Entering the city, it is impossible without Su Dashuai's warrant. !"

The commander was bored, so he could only go to the west of the city again.

At this moment, Li Fei has already joined Liu Maosheng who is ready to go, this time, Liu Maosheng no longer hesitates, if he wants to win, as long as there is such a way. Immediately, the whole army was ordered to march towards the area where the grain and grass were concentrated.

"Priority is given to burning food, leaving nothing else to worry about. ”
