Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Surprise Attack on Xiatao County (4)

Although Xiatao County is the logistics transfer center of the Jizhou Army, but it is not busy all the time, in fact, on the contrary, only when the order is issued in front, there will be a large number of elite soldiers to escort the grain truck to Yijing, the rest of the time, in addition to the garrison, there is not much difference between the people in the city and the sunset, not affected by the battle ahead, what makes Gongsun Ming particularly surprised is that the Jizhou Army has not deployed a vigilant force on the periphery of the city, no, Gongsun Ming, disguised as the image of the son of the prince who travels in the mountains and rivers, led several guards dressed as subordinates have been wandering outside the city for nearly half an hour, I didn't see anyone come to check once.

In the face of such a defensive situation that is simply singing about the empty city plan, Gongsun Ming's first reaction is not excitement, but suspicion, which is not surprising, people who are used to digging pits and burying people, once they encounter an unknown situation, they will naturally wonder if they have encountered a pit, but it turns out that he has thought too much - a personal guard who was ordered to enter the city to investigate the truth and reality quickly brought back accurate news- Lu Weihuang's defense focused on the internal and not the external, except for the four city walls each sent 1,000 soldiers and horses to garrison, the 6,000 main forces were all gathered in the barracks near the grain depot, and the fire prevention and theft prevention work was well arranged, but he never considered the possibility of an enemy attack on Liao Tao County.

Before Gongsun Ming attacked Xiatao County, he was originally preparing to launch a night raid, and for this reason, he also specially created a batch of flying claws and rope ladders and other things, but at the moment, this situation obviously does not need to be so troublesome, no, after some preparations, taking advantage of the fact that a large number of people working in the fields have returned to the city one after another, led by Lu Xiang, he led more than 20 horsemen to ride their horses to the east city gate, and at the same time, nearly 2,000 light horsemen were also under the command of Shen Fei, pulling out from the hiding woods, and marching towards Xiatao County unslowly.

"Stop coming!"

Although the defense of Xiatao County is not strict, it can be seen that Gongsun Ming and his party are waiting for the horses to gallop over, and there is still a tun commander who led several soldiers to rush forward, waved his hand and drank a voice, the voice was very loud, but it was just a routine matter, and there was no sense of tension at all.

"Presumptuous, a certain Naining Guozhong Lang will Lu Xiang, you dare to block my way, looking for death, huh?"

Rao is tun chief shouted loudly, but Gongsun Ming and the others obviously didn't care, and rushed all the way to the cordon at the city gate, and then Qi Qi restrained the war horse under the seat, and then saw Lu Xiang riding out of the horse with an unhappy face, and scolded coldly.

"The general is angry, the general is angry, I don't know what you are ......"

The army is where the rules are strict, the tun commander is just a low-level officer, not even a rank, compared to Lu Xiang's identity is undoubtedly very different, this hearing Lu Xiang's voice is not right, how dare there be the slightest slack, but seeing that he took two small steps back in a panic, he hurriedly bowed down and said forgiveness.

"Hmph, the third prince is coming, this dog thief is still stunned here, hurry up and go to Tong Wei Huang and Zhao Rong to come here to meet him immediately!"

Lu Xiang naturally didn't put the mere head in his eyes, but when he waved his hand impatiently, he scolded again in an unquestionable tone.

"General, please wait a moment, the little one will go to the courtesy. โ€

The worse Lu Xiang's attitude was, the more the tun chief did not dare to question it, but after seeing that he had agreed tightly, he hurriedly rushed into the city gate hole, and after a while, he saw a general snatched out of the city gate tower, and rushed to the city plate in a few big steps, first looked at the large number of cavalry troops who were running unhurriedly in the distance, and then looked at the city, and then looked at the city, and saw that the general who stood in front of everyone was really Lu Xiang, and the bearded general hurriedly jumped down the city in three steps and two steps, this person was Zhao Rong, the guard of the east gate of Xiatao Countyใ€‚

"The last general, Zhao Rong, see General Lu. โ€

Lu Xiang is a heavy general in the Jizhou army, and his position is high, so he is only under a few people such as Yan Liangwen Chou, and Zhao Rong is just another Sima Minist, and his official rank is three levels worse than Lu Xiang.

"Kill!"

Zhao Rong originally wanted to study Lu Xiang's intentions in detail after the ceremony, and this kind of idea can't be wrong, but it's a pity that he obviously doesn't have the opportunity to study it in detail- At the same time as Zhao Rong bowed down, without waiting for Lu Xiang to say anything, he saw Gongsun Ming, who was originally mixed in the guards, suddenly roared, and came out with a gun, only a stab, and then strung Zhao Rong on the tip of the gun, and then flung it, the unlucky Zhao Rong had already howled and flew out, and smashed heavily on the ground, blood spurted wildly from his mouth and nose, and his burly body stiffened suddenly, and then it was soft, and it was out of breath.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack ......"

As soon as Gongsun Ming made such a move, all the guards who had been prepared immediately rushed up with Du Ze horses, and the spears with handles stabbed non-stop, and in an instant, the guards who lined up to meet them were rushed to pieces, and soon, the shouts of urgency resounded one after another.

"Rush in and take the door!"

After killing Zhao Rong with one shot, Gongsun Ming didn't pay attention to the routs who were scurrying around, and with a swing of his spear, he led the crowd to rush straight to the city gate, and the gun came out like the wind, and he successively picked and killed several defenders who tried to close the city gate, and soon firmly controlled the city gate in his hands, and after dozens of breaths, Shen Fei had already led nearly two thousand horsemen to arrive roaring, and rushed like thunder along the city gate hole into the city......

"Report, General Yu, it's not good, there is a change in Dongcheng, Lu Xiang is reversed, General Zhao was assassinated, and the city gate has been lost!"

In the granary camp, after hearing the news that Lu Xiang accompanied the third prince Yuan Shang to arrive, Lu Weihuang was already in doubt, although he had gathered his generals, but he had not yet decided whether to meet him tightly, and he was hesitating when he saw a newspaper horse hurrying over, and he didn't even have time to get off the horse, so he was already hoarse and shouted.

"Damn, quick, return to the headquarters, assemble the whole army, and drive the thieves out of the city!"

Hearing Lu Xiang's opposite, Lu Weihuang was so frightened that his face turned pale, but he didn't care about studying the details, and then roared, and even when he heard the sound of drums and trumpets, a large number of Jizhou soldiers who were resting in the camp suddenly responded to the order, and quickly lined up and assembled in the open space in the camp, and at the same time, the defenders at the city gates on three sides also began to move nervously......
