Chapter 275 What about trickery
In the early morning, the autumn wind blew, sprinkled yellow leaves all over the ground, and on the tower of the city, the Moyun soldiers who had been tired from standing guard all night had just been replaced, and the new Moyun soldiers who had come to replace them were not in a good state, as if they had not been able to sleep well all night, yawning one by one, they were listless.
Far away, the horn sounded, Zeyu's army launched an attack again, the defending soldiers hurriedly set up bows and arrows to shoot down, but the speed of their arrows was obviously not able to catch up with the pace of Zeyu's army's advance, and after a while, the city wall was surrounded by dense siege soldiers, unlike in the past, the speed of Zeyu's army attack this time was very fast, some people were caught off guard, and the offensive was fierce, it can be seen that the top two are the elite of the soldiers.
The Moyun soldiers had already gone to report to Cao Hou Ye, but when Cao Hou Ye came to the city wall with people, some Zeyu soldiers had already shot the soldiers guarding the city, opening a gap, and some Zeyu soldiers were climbing up from below.
Wang Wu's anger came up on the spot, picked up the knife and rushed forward, and when the knife fell, the head of a Zeyu general was cut off. Then, Wang Wu killed some Zeyu soldiers who climbed up, and went to the edge of the city wall to cut the climbing rope, and the gap here was finally filled in time.
In the distance, Mo Lingyu, who was looking at the other from afar, sighed in disappointment, just a little bit, as long as Wang Wu came half a moment late, the city would be within reach. The people around the ghost king are really good, this Wang Wu is a good kung fu, and he is really a fierce general. If there were two such characters in my Zeyu army, this city would have been taken down a long time ago.
Mo Lingyu waved his hand, and a team of people behind him immediately stepped forward to salute. Mo Lingyu said loudly: "I wish the boss, it's time for you to go out, take down the tower of the city for me, and help my army rush into the city." ”
The leader of the group was a thin old man, and after listening to Mo Lingyu's instructions, he said: "Yes, listen to the commander's military order, the commander can rest assured, it is better to help the army climb the city wall in an hour." ”
After speaking, Zhu Boss led the team to rush towards the city. When they arrived in front of the two armies, a few people resisted the enemy, but a few people set up a huge common arrow, took out a black iron arrow larger than an ordinary bow and arrow, nodded their heads, and then shot at the city tower.
The power of this arrow is very powerful compared to ordinary rockets, the arrow is sandwiched by the wind, wearing the soldiers of both sides who are fighting, shooting to the city, and then "boom" sounded, the city wall trembled, Wang Wu's body also shook, and scolded: "Despicable, you have wrapped gunpowder in the arrow." Before the words fell, an arrow fell on the city, followed by another loud bang.
Wang Wu scolded: "Despicable, if you have the ability, you can fight in an upright manner, what kind of ability are you?" ”
The Zhu boss sneered: "Whoever fights with you with a knife and a gun, the two armies are fighting, and the soldiers are not tired of cheating, of course, it depends on who has clever means, come and shoot again!" ”
An arrow came in the direction of Wang Wu, Wang Wu was so frightened that he jumped out a few feet away with his head in his hands, and he could dodge, but the Moyun soldiers who followed behind him couldn't dodge, and they were blown up into a blur of flesh and blood. Wang Wu scolded, and his voice came far away, but he didn't dare to step forward.
After a few more arrows, under the cover of Zhu Boss and others, the Zeyu soldiers finally stood on the city wall again, and they were menacing, beating the Moyun soldiers to pieces, and after a while, there were countless casualties.
An arrow went in the direction of Cao Houye, and Hu Lewen beside him slashed the arrow with a knife, but he could prevent the arrow from shooting at Cao Houye, but he couldn't prevent the gunpowder on the arrow from exploding, and after a loud bang, only Hu Lewen's voice could be heard: "Cao Houye, Cao Houye, how are you, come here, protect Hou Ye, Wang Wu, come and protect Hou Ye." ”
Hearing that something had happened to Hou Ye Cao, the Moyun soldiers were even more flustered, and they had no heart to fight, and gradually retreated. Wang Wu also ran to Cao Houye's side, looking at the gray-headed man's face, bloodstained body, and Cao Houye, who had fainted in Hu Lewen's arms, shouted twice, and then picked up and killed the city.
The morale of Zeyu's soldiers was great, and the Moyun army, which had no commander, could only keep retreating, and it didn't take long for the city wall to be full of Zeyu's army.
Mo Lingyu listened to the report of the events before the battle, especially when he heard that Cao Hou might be injured by Boss Zhu, and when the Moyun soldiers were defeated and retreated, he also lifted his spirits, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said loudly: "Order the whole army, attack the city, and at noon today, you must take the city." ”
The generals listened to the order and launched an attack together, the horns sounded, the shouts continued, Zeyu's army attacked the city in one fell swoop, but the Moyun soldiers had given up resistance and fled to the territory of Moyun in a hurry.
Because there was no resistance in the city, Zeyu's army entered the city very smoothly, Mo Lingyu walked into the streets of the city with his people, but found that this city was an empty city, except for the corpses of some Moyun soldiers, but there was no Moyun soldiers and Moyun people, the whole city was black and gloomy, which made Mo Lingyu's heart pass a trace of doubt.
A general on the side sighed: "It's really not easy, after fighting for so long, and finally taking the city, Moyun's soldiers are really difficult to deal with!" ”
Mo Lingyu's heart trembled, no, the combat power of the Moyun soldiers is not weak, and those generals are not easy to abandon the city, how could they withdraw the army from the city so quickly and completely, this is not like a hasty escape, this is more like a planned evacuation, why did they want to withdraw, shouldn't there be some trick!
Mo Lingyu stopped and looked around, but there was no sound quietly, and whispered to the general beside him: "Go check and see if there are ambushes around!" Keep the whole army on alert. ”
The general should be looking for it, but Mo Lingyu is still watching around, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that something is wrong. This city was not beaten down by him, this city was given up by Mo Yun on his own initiative, except for the strong resistance they encountered during the siege, but the others were very easy to get, what did Mo Yun want to do, he was afraid of our rockets, and instead arranged an ambush, did he want to meet us in the city?
Mo Lingyu was watching, but saw a rocket suddenly shot out of the dark, but the arrow was too far away, not at people, but at the houses on the side, only to see a breath, the arrow caught fire, and then fell on the roof of a house, and immediately the house burned. Then, more arrows came, not to people but to the surrounding houses, and the fire burned all at once.
Mo Lingyu rushed over in the direction where the arrow came, but he was a step too late and didn't see anyone, his heart was in doubt, and he heard a shaking explosion coming from behind him, and the dust was raised, and then he heard someone shouting: "The city gate has collapsed!" Help! ”
Mo Lingyu hurriedly ran towards the city gate, he vaguely understood in his heart what Mo Yun was going to do, they were going to lock him up in the city, they were already desperate to burn the whole city, of course, there were also 300,000 troops he had just entered the city.
Mo Lingyu just ran two steps and met Wang Wu and Wang Wenfang, the two of them were not wearing armor at this time but were dressed in black at night, Wang Wenfang smiled: "General Mo, I finally entered the city, why are you in such a hurry to leave!" ”
Mo Lingyu shouted: "What do you want to do, you want to burn down the entire city, how dare you?" It's a city! ”
Wang Wu said indifferently: "This is an empty city, and no one lives in it, what dare you dare." ”
Wang Wenfang still smiled and said: "General Mo doesn't have to feel sorry for this city, if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed, as long as the people are okay, it will be built in the future, as long as this city can bury your Zeyu 300,000 troops, it will be worth the destruction." ”
A cold sweat broke out on Mo Lingyu's forehead, it's over, if that's the case, 300,000 troops, 300,000 lives, do you have to hide in the sea of fire like this?
Looking around, there were more and more places where the fire started, and Mo Yunjun obviously moved his hands and feet on the house, once the house caught fire, it burned very quickly, and the light reflected half of the sky after a while. Many soldiers were already screaming, but the smoke was billowing out, and they were not burned, but they were all burned to death.
The smell of smoke in the air became stronger and stronger, and Wang Wenfang said to Mo Lingyu: "Today I came to see General Mo, I have something to say to General Mo, I will take the lives of 300,000 people at once, and my commander is a little unbearable, so I want to ask General Mo to let these innocent soldiers go, and now the fire is still under control, as long as General Mo makes them surrender, I will take them out of the city." ”
Mo Lingyu sneered twice, "It turns out that your idea is to make me surrender, this is impossible, my Mo family is loyal to Zeyu, and this matter will never change." ”
Wang Wenfang sighed, "I know that General Mo is loyal, so I didn't expect the general to do anything, but I just asked the general to give an order to let the Zeyu soldiers lay down their weapons." ”
Mo Lingyu sneered: "If you really have a merciful heart, you shouldn't come up with the idea of burning 300,000 troops, and now that the matter has come to this, there is no need to be pretending to be merciful." As for my Zeyu soldiers, they died for the country, and they also died well. ”
Wang Wu was so angry that he wanted to scold, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was choked by the smoke, Wang Wenfang pulled Wang Wu and said to Mo Lingyu: "General Mo and you don't use less stratagems, the general Zeyu just said it well, the soldiers are not tired of cheating, on the battlefield, either you die or I live, how to talk about tricks." Since the general did not listen to anyone, then my two brothers took their leave. ”
After speaking, the two turned around and left, but Mo Lingyu refused to let go of this opportunity, jumped up and slashed with a palm, Wang Wu pulled Wang Wenfang to dodge, and then took out a bottle from his arms and threw it to the ground, a burst of white smoke rose, Mo Lingyu recognized that the bottle was the strange drug of the crybaby, and did not dare to approach.
Mo Lingyu was so angry that he stomped his feet, and rushed out of the city with his men and horses, and he could jump off the city wall if he couldn't get through the city gate, this was the only way to survive, but he had the kung fu to jump down without incident, but ordinary soldiers were not so lucky, many broke their hands and feet, and some died directly. Only a few people who crawled down the rope and picked up a single life, but there were not many of them, less than a thousand people.
