Chapter 596: Streak Blocked
Han Zejiong not only wanted to send people out of the city to ask for help, but of course he was going to go to the west gate where there seemed to be no Pingyue army.
Who knew that the light cavalry rushed to six miles away from the city, and the few horses that rushed in front suddenly fell on their horses!
"Huhu...... The sound ......of breaking wind sounded one after another, and several stumbling ropes were tensed in the forest.
After the people and horses in front fell to the ground, the light riders behind knew that there was a tripping rope to stop them, but there were also many people who didn't have time to rein in their horses!
People who are not good at riding are directly injured by falling, or being trampled by horses' hooves, and people who are good at riding turn over, but they have steel knives on their necks!
The men and horses behind turned their horses' heads and galloped in the direction of the city gate, and after running for a short time, they saw three wooden trees blocking the way back to the city.
As they slowed down slightly, dozens of mighty men jumped out of the grass on either side. After they were stunned for a moment, they swept away the roadblocks with their guns, and with the advantage of tall horses and sharp spears, they would definitely be able to fight their way out!
"Ding-chan...... Ah......h
A rebel spear fell to the ground, screaming, and blood splattered on the spot.
Unexpectedly, the light cavalry rushed out of the ambush soldiers just surrounded them in groups, jumped up and down to dodge when they encountered an attack, and just when they were trapped in the fire, a black horse flew out of the oblique spur!
The armor of the man on the horse flashed gold, the red scarf was tied around his neck, the tiger body was fierce, and the eagle eyes were fierce. The nine dragon guns in his hands are really dancing like a dragon out of the water, a good majestic and brave general!
Maybe it was because they suddenly saw the tragic death of their comrades, and the light horsemen panicked in shock, or maybe they were not as good as others, in short, they died one after another under the Nine Dragons gun.
Poking, stabbing, picking, sweeping, and rubbing, blood splashes like rain, and the red tassels on the gun are like a deadly flame burning the lives of others!
The rebels who had survived dismounted, and the besiegers rushed up and tied them up, and then joined up with those who had been caught by the stumbling rope.
The brave general dismounted, grabbed a nine-dragon gun, and said to the kneeling soldier: "Fan Dingyao, the commander of the Pingyue Army, left you to wait for your life, I want you to go back and spread the word!" Tell Han Zejiong that surrendering the city and obeying the court is the right way! You have nowhere to ask for help, Han Zecan has been defeated, he only cares about self-preservation, and will never rush to the aid of Yuezhou! ”
After whispering a few words, those soldiers begged to stay in the Pingyue army and refused to go back to pass the word.
Fan Dingyao twisted his eyebrows, and the tip of the Nine Dragons gun pointed directly at the throat of one of them. The man only felt a flower in front of him, as if nine dragons of different shapes flew up and pounced on him, and he was suddenly stunned.
"Whoever disobeys orders, leave your life behind! Those who obey the order will leave their names and make a credit after pacifying Yuezhou. ”
Before the words were spoken, they all ran in the direction of the city gate. Some of the people whose legs and feet were so frightened that they ran a few steps and then fell down, and then they stumbled forward again when they tried to get up.
"Haha...... I always thought that Commander Fan was a Confucian general, but I didn't expect it to be so scary when he became fierce......" Hu Xianxian smiled and flew down from the branch where he was hiding.
"Since I was a child, I have felt that a general should be loyal and patriotic, and should advance and retreat with the soldiers, and should also treat prisoners well...... Now, I think that treating the captives well can score points, well, this is all learned from Hu Tianfei, you ......" Fan Dingyao said quite seriously.
The corners of Hu Xianxian's mouth twitched, and he slandered, this is to learn from me to be fierce to others? Oh...... Well, I'm fierce......
She laughed dryly, said goodbye to them, and flew towards the south gate.
When he arrived at the camp at the south gate, Hu Xianxian asked the soldiers with loud voices to shout to the city tower every other hour: "Listen to the rebels, grandpa is going to attack the city tonight, you wait to be beaten!" ”
Shouting, shouting, shouting for two days and no action, but Zheng Tianba's east gate, which was originally as noisy as a big opera, quieted down.
Secretly, she quietly ordered the borrowed light armor army to move to the west gate to assist Zheng Tianba in the siege of the city.
On the 19th day of February, as soon as the sky turned blank, the light armored army suddenly climbed the tower of the south gate and was caught off guard by the rebels!
Zheng Tianba still released all the captured rebels and asked them to pass the word to Han Zejiong, and then break the city without surrendering the city.
On the 20th of February, the city of Yuezhou was quiet all around, which made the defenders of the four gates of the rebel army nervous, and they did not know where the Pingyue army was going to attack again.
However, on February 21 and February 22, the Vietnamese army did not attack the city, and not only did they not attack the city, but they rarely even came out to provoke.
The rebel spies found that the Pingyue army had less smoke and weaker morale, and there were horse-drawn carriages heading to Haifeng County one after another.
The spies heard some soldiers say that the food supplied by Haifeng County was not enough to eat, and they had not been able to transport grain to Fan Chuyao several times, so they had to send someone back to pull the grain themselves.
On February 25, the rebel spies saw that almost all the Pingyue troops besieging the city had not come out of the camp, so they mustered up the courage to enter the camp to take a closer look, and the camp tent was full of straw men!
He returned the matter to Han Zejiong, and after careful consideration, Han Zejiong believed that the Pingyue Army was not bluffing, but was engaging in some conspiracy and tricks.
Since he can't figure out the details of the Pingyue Army, it is better to be cautious, Han Zejiong said not to rush to attack the Pingyue Army head-on, and he has to ask for foreign aid to see.
This time, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Han Zejiong asked the people who asked for help to go out from the four gates, and each team of light horsemen was thirty-six people, all of whom were divided into three rows.
If the first row is ambushed, the signal will be sent immediately to the second and third rows, so that the next people can withdraw to the city.
The Pingyue army did not change its subordinates to intercept the rebels, but it was still distributed in the position of Fan Dingyao in the north, Zheng Tianba in the west, and Hu Xianxian in the south, but they all retreated twenty miles.
The rebels in all three directions were ambushed, and after the signal was given by the men in the first row, the men who followed them all rushed back to the city.
There were no large ambushes on the west gate, only a trap set in advance and a dozen soldiers guarding the grass not far from the trap.
If the second and third rows of the rebels were to rush hard, they could have rushed out with their fast horses, but they had become frightened birds, and they could hear the sound of "swaying" from all directions, and they were so frightened that they rushed back to the city.
As a result, the people in Yuezhou City were panicked, and they all thought that the Pingyue army had surrounded the city like an iron bucket, and they would be trapped in the city sooner or later.
In fact, this kind of play can only be aimed at people like Han Zejiong who have no combat experience and are still timid and suspicious. If there were people with both wisdom and courage who recognized which gate had fewer Pingyue troops stationed outside the gate, they would go directly out of the city and storm it, and they would have already won the victory to protect the city.
Half an hour after scaring off the light cavalry for help, the Pingyue army sent archers to shoot arrows into the city. This time, the arrows flew higher than usual, but there were no arrows, and the arrows were tied with notes.
What was written on the note was that the imperial court gave a deadline, invaded the city without surrendering the city, killed the rebels without leaving a single piece of armor, and exiled all the people to the frontier.
At noon on February 26, Han Zejiong suddenly appeared in the North Gate Tower, he was wearing a white robe, and shouted repeatedly: "Commander Fan, the criminal minister has no intention of rebelling against the imperial court, it is all Han Zecan's repeated coercion, and the criminal minister has to pretend to raise the anti-flag in order to protect the people of the city!" Now, can you enter the city to talk about the handover of Yuezhou in detail? ”
He shouted so loudly that his voice was almost hoarse, and the soldiers who were spreading the word in the city were tired of running, and Fan Dingyao and the others finally agreed to send someone into the city to talk.
Fan Dingyao only sent Hu Xianxian alone, because he knew that Han Zejiong did not have the sincerity to surrender. If you are sincere and obedient, the four doors are directly open, and the sandwich road welcomes the Pingyue army into the city, what else to talk about?
Since he is not sincere, it is good to send Hu Xianxian to find out the bottom of them, even if they have any conspiracy, they can't trap her.
On the 26th day of February, Hu Xianxian changed into a new light blue robe, flew into the air, and floated outside the palace of Jinjun in Yuezhou City.
The scale of the Jinjun Royal Mansion is slightly smaller than the previous Shenjun Royal Mansion, but it is also lush with flowers and trees, and the pavilions are exquisite, which makes people feel like walking into a painting.
Han Zejiong is about forty years old and looks average. His face was pale and yellow, his eyes were blue, and he had obviously not slept peacefully for a long time.
The servant led Hu Xianxian to the front of the main hall, he hurriedly greeted him from the hall, greeted him with a humble attitude, and then greeted him with a warm greeting.
Entering the hall, he introduced the local squires to Hu Xianxian, and the squires greeted them respectfully.
After chatting for a while, the wine and food were ready, and Han Zejiong warmly invited Hu Xianxian and the squires to the table.
During the banquet, they pushed the cups and changed the lamps, talking about how helpless they were to rebel, how they were afraid of war, and how they asked Hu Xianxian to intercede with the emperor on their behalf to spare their lives......
"Lord Wang...... Since Poor Dao still calls you the prince, that is, he still recognizes your status as the king of the county, should you show sincerity and prove that you are still worthy of being the prince of the Dafa Dynasty? After Hu Xianxian drank a few cups in a row, he lowered his face and asked Han Zejiong directly.
"This ...... It's not a good family......" he licked his lips and smirked.
"It is sincere to hand over the military power of Yuezhou, hand over all kinds of files of the state government, and open the city gate to welcome the Vietnamese army into the city!"
Hu Xianxian replied solemnly, and looked coldly at the people at the table.
Han Zejiong was stunned, then smirked again, and those squires followed suit. After laughing for a while, seeing Hu Xianxian angrily making a motion to flip the table, he hurriedly left his seat and bowed to her.
"Concubine Hu Tian is angry, angry...... Gathering together tonight is just a show of sincerity to each other, and there is no intention of a formal handover. The chief general of the Pingyue army is Commander Fan, and Commander Fan will be invited into the city tomorrow to hand over all affairs. ”
Hu Xianxian looked at Han Zejiong repeatedly, and then said: "Since you want to hand over to Commander Fan, it is useless to stay here for a long time, and I will leave!" ”
They wanted to keep her, and she was already flying away. She saw Han Zejiong's eyes flickering, and she was faintly worried that he would play a conspiracy, no matter how incompetent he was, he was a well-informed prince after all, and he had to be careful.
When he returned to the camp, as soon as he saw her, Xiaobing immediately came to report: "Hu Xianxian, someone attacked the camp, and there were many casualties ......."
She didn't listen to him, she jumped up and lifted the curtain of the tent, only to see many soldiers hanging their heads.
Hu Xianxian told them to be on guard, and then hurried to Fan Dingyao's camp, only to learn that he was also injured when they arrived.
Fan Dingyao was injured in his left arm, and the injury was not serious, but he looked depressed.
He said in a hoarse voice: "Half an hour ago, a strange man attacked the camp, killing and wounding many soldiers, and I don't know what the strange man came from, and he was invulnerable. ”
"Invulnerability?" Hu Xianxian's heart was full of clouds.
"Yes, invulnerability! However, that person may not understand martial arts, and just blindly kick and fight. I saw that he was about to kill three soldiers who surrounded him, so I attacked him, and he didn't dodge or parry, but resisted. ”
