Chapter 416: Miraculous feats
At this time, the black shadow under the city shouted: "Don't let go of the arrows! We are really General Wen's subordinates, we were originally designed and captured by the Yanling people, and we finally found a chance to escape tonight. The general in the city, are you the general of Zhao? ”
The guard immediately beckoned to stop his men and asked, "How do you know my name?" ”
Another voice in the city replied: "General Zhao, I'm Liu Da!" I was an errand boy under you, do you remember? Chengxi Liu Da, think about it. ”
General Zhao Tong really had a little impression of this Liu Da, but he didn't dare to hold it up, and asked, "How many of you are there?" Do you have a blade? ”
Liu Da replied: "There are six of us, unarmed, please rest assured that General Zhao will rest assured." ”
Outside the city, there is an open and flat land, with a wide view. General Zhao looked around, but did not see any ambush, so he said to his subordinates: "Open the city gate and let them in, bring more people over, as long as there is anything wrong with them, cut them down immediately." ”
His soldiers were ordered to take the men to the city gate with torches. General Zhao Tong was afraid of an ambush, so he always monitored the surrounding movements on the city wall, and as long as there was the slightest disturbance, he immediately ordered the city gate to be closed.
But nothing happened, and the defenders brought the six men in safely. When the city gate was closed again, Zhao Tong breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately he went down the wall and went to meet the men who had fled.
The six men wore the same undershirt and black leggings, which were the uniform uniforms of the Dongning army. The faces of the six were dirty, their hair was unkempt, and they were indescribably embarrassed. At this time, he was surrounded by heavy troops, and he was standing there smiling awkwardly. In terms of appearance, General Zhao Tong didn't see anything abnormal.
However, General Zhao Tong is still cautious, they have been captured by the Yanling army for so many days, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be rebelled. So General Zhao Tong whispered to his subordinates: "Tie them up and interrogate me strictly!" As long as you don't get killed, be sure to ask what their purpose is. ”
His subordinates received the order and immediately led the troops up to tie up the people. The six were about to speak in surprise, but they were gagged by the soldiers beside them. Soon the six people were escorted away, and General Zhao ordered to send spies to carefully check if the Yanling army had any movements.
An hour later, Zhao Tong would come to the barracks where the six men were being held. Liu Da and the others were already covered in bruises and bloodstains. Although the interrogating soldiers were careful, one of them could not stand the torture and choked his breath.
Zhao Tong frowned, asked the body to be carried out, and then sat on a chair not far away.
The interrogating soldiers came to report that these six people were isolated and tortured, but their confessions were basically the same, and they should not be spies sent by Yanling.
General Zhao didn't speak, and waved his hand. The soldier understood, and immediately lifted a bucket of cold water and poured it on Liu Da's head.
Liu Da slowly woke up, looked around, showed a helpless wry smile, and said weakly: "I didn't expect Lao Tzu to die in the hands of the Yanling people, but in the hands of his own people, it's really wronged!" ”
General Zhao looked at him coldly and said, "Don't pretend, your accomplices have been recruited, and they admit that it was the Yanling people who bought you back to do the internal response." You betrayed Dongning inside and out, and I think for the sake of your previous efforts for Dongning, I will leave you all corpses. ”
Hearing this, Liu Da laughed a few times, mixed with a cough and said coldly: "Lao Tzu has followed General Wen for ten years, he eats Dongning's Yulu, and kills Dongning's enemies, how can he betray Dongning for profit?" When you say that someone confesses, either he is greedy for life and afraid of death, or he is beaten into a confession, and the rebellion is purely out of nowhere. I now kind of understand why the Yanling people have been fighting at the gate of our capital, it is because of you stupid people, who do not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and mislead the country and the people. Anyway, it's a dead end, so Liu Da has no scruples and is outspoken.
General Zhao Tong didn't say a word, staring at Liu Da's face without taking his eyes off it. Liu Da was not afraid at all, and looked at him, and the sharpness of his gaze was not inferior to him at all.
At this moment, General Zhao believed that what Liu Da said was indeed the truth, he nodded to his subordinates, and someone immediately went up to untie Liu Da's rope.
Thinking that this was to execute himself, Liu Da's face was awe-inspiring, and he said to General Zhao: "You can kill me, but don't embarrass my family." If they asked, they would say that I had died on the battlefield. ”
General Zhao Tong didn't explain, and let the soldiers carry Liu Da down for treatment, including the other four people who were also loosened and carried away.
Early the next morning, Zhao Tong will go to visit Liu Da and the others. They all had skin injuries, they were dressed with medicine and bandaged, and the rest was to recuperate in peace.
Seeing General Zhao Tong coming in, Liu Da and the others were about to get up and salute, but General Zhao Tong hurriedly stopped him. Liu Da knew that he would not kill him now, so he was ashamed and apologized to General Zhao Tong for last night's faux pas.
General Zhao Tong didn't mind, he sat down and asked Liu Da to explain in detail the process from being ambushed to escaping back.
So Liu Da started from Wen Haizheng's night attack on the Yanling military camp with Lan Aoxin and Zhou Fanqi, including Liu Da's team being ambushed and the clothes were changed into by the Yanling army and mixed into Wen Haizheng's team to enter the East City Gate, and finally led to the loss of the East City Gate, and Wen Haizheng died in battle.
After that, Liu Da, the tens of thousands of soldiers who were ambushed, were escorted by the Yanling army all the way to the capital.
However, Liu Da provided some very valuable information for General Zhao, that is, the combat strategy of the Yanling army and the method of arranging the troops. Because the Yanling army had been killing all the way to the capital, passing the customs and killing the generals, and being invincible, they were all looked at by Liu Da and these Dongning soldiers.
I have to admit that the combat ability of the Yanling army is very strong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is proud of the world. Their military discipline is strict, their style of work is tough, and their execution and action are very fast, and I am afraid that no team in the existing countries can compete with them.
Moreover, the ability of the generals in the Yanling Army is also very high, such as Nan Guying, Guo Zidi, and Gan Yunkai, all of whom are generals who can take charge of themselves, and even the female generals Ban Lingruo and Zhong Liying are also decisive and courageous and strategic. Dongning is too far from Yanling in this regard.
In the previous battle with King Hong, without a single soldier or casualty, he killed 60,000 elite soldiers of King Hong, although he did not see it with his own eyes, but his ears were already filled with various legends.
When he said this, General Zhao Tong saw the horror in Liu Da's eyes, it seems that the current Yanling is no longer the weak dynasty that was at the beginning under the leadership of their phoenix lord.
And now that the Yanling soldiers are approaching the city, they have never launched an attack, according to Liu Da's observation, it should be Sima Hongyan who is worried about something. It is very likely that there is no certainty of victory, so he did not dare to make a move, also in order not to let his subordinates make senseless sacrifices.
Sima Hongyan has learned Liu Da with military tactics, and he is completely confused, and he often uses some strange tricks, but he always has miraculous effects, and repeatedly frustrates the enemy. Therefore, Liu Da did not rule out that Sima Hongyan might also be planning some conspiracy.
After listening to Liu Da, General Zhao suddenly had an idea, and he asked Liu Dadao: "How many of our people are still trapped in the Yanling Army?" ”
Liu Dadao: "More than 40,000, we were all assigned to the sixth princess at the beginning, but we were captured alive before the sixth princess could be seen. There was obviously a deep dissatisfaction with the six princesses in his tone.
General Zhao said: "If we rescue these more than 40,000 brothers and hand them over to you to command, are you sure that you can deal with the Yanling army?" After all, you've fought with them, and you've seen how they fight, so I think you'll come up with some way to restrain them, right? ”
This proposal was unexpected by Liu Da, and suddenly let him be the commander to lead the troops, which made him a little unable to believe that he was a blessing in disguise, but he also understood that this kind of good thing had a price, and Zhao Tongjiang wanted to use his understanding of Yanling's interior to let him deal with the Yanling army, but he didn't dare to agree casually. After hesitation, he did not dare to answer General Zhao's question for a while.
General Zhao Tong didn't urge, let him think about it, and he could reply tomorrow.
After Zhao Tong left, several companions in the house persuaded Zhao Da to agree, one can save those companions who are still trapped in the Yanling army, and the other is one person who is short and two people are long, everyone will always find out the weaknesses of the Yanling people, after all, they have been in the Yanling army for many days, and they still have the most intuitive understanding of the Yanling people.
was told by a few companions, and Zhao Daxin was moved. People have rare opportunities in their lives, and they may be able to reach the sky in one step if they gamble once, and they can only be a small soldier in their lifetime when they are afraid of wolves and tigers. After he made up his mind, he couldn't wait for the next day, so he asked people to invite General Zhao Tong that night and agreed to General Zhao's suggestion.
General Zhao Tong seemed to have known that he would agree, and immediately gave him advice: "Do you dare to return to the Yanling army again?" ”
Liu Da was taken aback, and looked at General Zhao in a daze, not knowing what he meant.
General Zhao Tong said again: "You were able to escape smoothly and there were no pursuers, which means that the Yanling people did not find out that you had escaped." Besides, among the tens of thousands of people, there are a few fewer people and more than a few people who can't be revealed at all, so I don't think you should have a problem sneaking back again. I will send suspicious soldiers to disrupt the defense of the Yanling army, and you will take the opportunity to sneak in. Then I need you to lead those Dongning brothers to cause trouble in their army and disturb them, and I took the opportunity to lead the troops to raid and kill them by surprise, and then Sima Hongyan, this little girl, will not be able to be captured! ”
Liu Da muttered a little and said, "General Zhao, is this too risky?" If I were found out by them, wouldn't it be a dead end? ”
General Zhao said: "Now Yanling doesn't know what the idea is, but it must be ready to go, if they let their tricks succeed and enter the capital, who can still survive with us, and our family?" You keep saying that you are loyal to Dongning, why are you afraid when you are needed now? ”
Liu Dadao: "I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that death is worthless, this matter is too risky, and I don't think the chance of success is great." It is my duty to go into battle to kill the enemy, but it is not worth it to die in vain. ”
General Zhao said: "You can rest assured of this, I will arrange it." I can give you another idea, once you go back, let the brothers first take the horses and armor of the Yanling people, and then set fire to the camp, and then the Yanling army will inevitably be in chaos. After I saw the fire, I sent people out of the city to meet you, and we should work together inside and outside, and go to arrest the phoenix lord Sima Hongyan, wouldn't it be a great achievement? ”
